Part 2 Episode 81
I had a long dream.
The one who awakened himself called himself the Demon Dragon King.
[Do they still use the title of king these days?]
Typhon asked, lifting his heavy body.
The energy flowing through the body is different.
A force similar to but contradictory to magic flows together.
[It is divine power. This is the power used by the Elyos of the Upper World.]
Baal, the Demon Dragon King.
It is said that he, in the form of a dragon, personally formed a magic stone and revived Typhon. He said it indifferently.
[I see.]
Typhon glanced at his body.
It is small and completely damaged compared to its original body.
It’s insignificant compared to its heyday, but it’s not bad to move right away.
[Apparently, the ones that were useful in the end were called anti-aircraft.]
[Oh, you mean the anti-aircraft system.]
[Yes. Are you the Archduke?]
[That was also something I made. You must have heard something from Jormungand right before you died?]
[….]
[Is it possible that you don’t remember?]
Baal asked, touching his chin.
Now that I think about it, his eyes are odd-eyes like Jormungand’s.
[Jormungand.]
I have a bet with this guy that I promised a long time ago.
Was he the one who ordered his true self to wake up?
Baal shook his head in response to Typhon’s question.
[No, he won’t welcome your resurrection.]
[…?]
Baal burst out laughing at Typhon’s questioning expression.
[ha ha ha. You are so naive. It’s hard to believe that I have been blessed by the One God.]
[Explain so that I can understand.]
As Typhon growled, Baal stopped laughing.
[It seems like my memory is not perfect. Let me explain briefly.]
Elyos from the upper world and monsters from the lower world.
The heavenly masters of the upper world and the lower world’s anti-aircraft system created to oppose them.
And even the existence of a single god who came from ‘outside’.
As the magic stone is replaced, blurry memories come back little by little.
I had a headache, but I had no problem accepting it.
[How long do you plan to live like that, having received the blessings of the One God?]
The One God.
The only being who created me and gave me warm words.
Now even his voice is blurry.
[Have you ever met the One God?]
It was my instinct to ask that question.
[met. Yes… we met several times.]
[Where is he now?]
Baal’s index finger pointed into the sky in response to the obvious question.
[outside. He’s no longer here. All that remains are his remnants.]
Remnants. That would be referring to people like Typhon.
Baal said that he was also a remnant and that there were several more such people here in the three thousand worlds.
[Are you, by any chance, a regressor too?]
[Yes. I had Jormungand as my partner before.]
Then, isn’t he a colleague? Why did you wake me up?
Typhon asked an obvious question.
[It’s because he didn’t grow as much as expected.]
[So you’re saying you’re going to change your partner on your own.]
[Can’t you? I remember that you, like me, are hungry for entertainment.]
Ssssss.
Magical power and divine power bloomed around Baal.
That was all I could tell.
The being in front of me is a strong person who is no less powerful than my past self.
[Yoo Hee-ra.]
I never thought I would hear those words from someone else’s mouth.
I laughed.
[Hold my hand. Then, I will make you forget about loneliness.]
There is no reason to refuse.
only.
[I have something to check.]
[….]
[It won’t take long.]
I walked towards the direction where the Magic Sea flows.
Before reaching the Demon Sea, I met several monsters and confirmed that they had never heard the name Rosaria.
Higher species. Top species. The archduke’s descendants. Before I knew it, I had come face to face with the highest level of the Demon Sea King.
I heard that Rosaria was murdered a long time ago.
There was no particular emotional turmoil.
It was just disappointing.
Even though the Demon Sea King broke his promise.
The loneliness that does not go away even though the dream demon I was interested in has died.
He entered the Demon Sea and manifested his power.
The decayed elements, with only five remaining, shook the Demon Sea.
As the demonic sea evaporated and the thunderstorm flowed, numerous sea current tribes lost their lives, and their shattered bodies floated around without being regenerated.
The family members who blocked him had their bodies impaled on the rising stone pillars, and a tidal wave rose where he passed.
That’s how I was able to face Jormungand.
A distant time when he was asleep.
The Demon Sea King, who had achieved enormous growth, was sitting on the throne looking down at him.
[Typhon. Why did you come back to life?]
[I came to collect the reward for the bet.]
[The reward?]
[Hmm. Could it be that you are going to pretend not to know even though you have the real person right in front of you?]
Jormungand, who was silent for a moment, burst into laughter.
Laughter that can make even the devil’s ocean vibrate.
This is not the reaction Typhon expected.
[Calm down, Typhon. A lot of time has passed, and there have been many changes in the situation in the Underworld.]
[This is not the answer you want.]
[Lilith and Orgal have formed an alliance. I handed over Rosaria on that condition.]
A dream demon and a demonic beast.
It’s a combination that doesn’t go together as well as a dream demon and a giant.
The results after that are obvious.
[Even as the chief minister, I had no choice. The demons who killed the Fairy King have gained prominence, and the fallen angel forces centered on Lucifer are also strong enough to not be ignored. However, the throne has formed an alliance with the dragon tribe led by Baal.]
[….]
Jormungand smiled at Typhon, who remained silent.
[We plan to start a tribal war. As I said before, in the upper world there is an archangel with the power of resurrection. If you use that guy, you can save Rosaria again.]
It is natural to fight the turf war before that and become the King of the Underworld.
Jormungand guaranteed victory in both wars, as if explaining the rules of the game.
[Originally, I was planning on resurrecting you around that time as well, but it looks like Baal took the first step.]
Anyway, this is a self-indulgent guy.
Jormungand clicked his tongue and muttered.
Even he can recognize that their relationship is unusual.
[Now what are you going to do? With the main seat….]
[No. My entertainment with you ends here.]
[….]
[I no longer feel any interest in your proposal. Now I have to get paid for my bet.]
[Payment…]
The corners of Jormungand’s mouth curved as he scanned Typhon’s body.
A body that can barely live up to the rank of an archduke. Corrupted Powers. My stamina dropped while heading here.
It’s not enough to compare to anything else.
[What can the current Giant King do?]
Jormungand appeared in his original form.
Huge fins. Scales like armor. Tsunami swirling around.
Jormungand, clad in the power of runaway, and Typhon, clad in the power of the elements.
The gap that has widened between the two over the years is considerable.
Nevertheless.
[Hahahaha. [The snake bastard looks down on you.]
Typhon laughed loudly and moved his body.
I walked forward, freezing the pushing tsunami.
It feels like the magic gemstone planted in my chest is rotating.
No, that wasn’t an illusion.
The divine power that bloomed like a haze filled the missing magical energy.
New magic power. It is a manifestation of a power that even Jormungand has not yet been able to fully interpret.
[No way… Baal….]
Bewilderment was evident in Jormungand’s voice.
Elements begin to combine with each other.
A new element descended on the area, and its presence was raised to a level similar to that of the one who used Runaway.
Crack.
Typhon’s fist struck Jormungand.
Kwasik.
Jormungandr’s tail pierced Typhon’s chest.
Three days of mixing, biting into each other’s flesh, coveting each other’s magical power, and stealing each other’s power of existence.
Cooung.
Jormungand fell down with his neck broken.
Typhon poured the magic gemstone extracted from his body into his mouth.
The habit of coveting the magic stones of past monsters emerged.
Surprisingly, the divine magic power that had been consumed began to recover.
Dozens of elements swirl around.
Realized.
He completely recovered to his former status in one battle.
[What a ridiculous creature.]
Baal, who had already approached, looked at the fallen Jormungand and said so.
[How was the entertainment after a long time?]
[It wasn’t bad.]
[That’s a good thing.]
Baal grinned and placed his hand on Jormungand’s body.
sssss-.
The remaining force in the corpse was absorbed into his body.
[What starts now will be much more interesting.]
1000 years from that day.
This is the time it took Typhon to conquer the Lower World.
Baal only mentioned some kind of law but did not move directly, and Typhon occupied the princes’ territory alone.
It was a task that would not have taken less than 100 years if he had formed a force.
He tore off the limbs of Orgal and Lilith, crushed six demon kings who claimed to be demon kings, and dragged down and sealed Lucifer, who was looking down at him with noble eyes.
Typhon, King of the Underworld.
At some point, he was being called that.
The time it took to establish a relationship with Lucifer was 500 years.
While the other great dukes took a long time because they were taking their time, Lucifer was able to endure this amount of time purely on his own strength.
Even that could not be completely destroyed, so the only option was to seal it.
[This isn’t funny.]
Typhon muttered as he looked at Lucifer’s sealed coffin.
Just like any other time.
Baal was standing by his side.
I didn’t think about why Baal’s presence grew as Typhon’s presence grew.
I just didn’t like the feeling of unsatisfied hunger even though I had reached the peak of the lower world.
[Baal. Open the door to the upper world.]
[Without any more rest? The Elyos of the Upper World are of a higher rank than those of the Lower World.]
[If you don’t open it now, you will fall into hibernation for the next 10,000 years.]
[That is difficult.]
The divine magic created by Baal caused a crack in space.
Unlike himself, this guy has a variety of skills.
It was perfect as a guide.
The racial war that began in the 10 heavens we visited.
As Baal said.
A battle that was not easy ensued.
* * *
The only giant in the Upper World. Typhon, King of the Upper World.
In the ten heavens Typhon was so called.
The masters of the five heavenly realms fled, and the masters of the five heavenly realms disappeared.
The extinct heavenly masters also included the archangels of the first heavenly world.
Just like Lucifer, they were all persistent.
If it weren’t for them, the war would have ended more than 200,000 years ago.
[resurrection. That was Ramiel’s power.]
Baal said this in front of the angel’s tattered corpse.
[What do you mean?]
[The resurrection of the dream demon you so desperately wanted has become impossible.]
[I see.]
Typhon gave a dry response.
nightmare. It was definitely called Rosaria.
King Ha-gye and King Sang-gye. The object that moves the person who earned two titles is a monster that is not even a grand duke.
It was an act that he could not understand even if he thought about it.
[Originally created by the One God, beings are born with deficiencies. How was it fun to fight a race war alone?]
[….]
Typhon looked at his body.
He has the strength to kill an anti-aircraft gun with just one finger.
A power that is completely fused with divine magic and is called the Great Element.
A strong body that could not be pierced even by the sacred powers of the archangels.
A space that vibrates just by existing.
The magic gemstone in my heart has suddenly become enlarged.
Before I knew it, Baal, who had taken the form of a demon dragon, was reaching out to me.
[No, it wasn’t fun at all.]
Typhon yawned and looked up at the sky.
1 heaven of heaven.
There will be a place called ‘outside’ beyond.
And that place.
[It’s not a place the main body can go to.]
[Okay. Unlike when I first saw you, my thoughts have deepened.]
Tuk.
Before I knew it, the magic stone was in Baal’s hand.
The magic power of the lower world and the divine power of the upper world. Divine magic power fused through numerous battles.
The giant king’s crystal is held in Baal’s hand as if it were a natural thing.
As if it had gone back to its original owner.
slowly.
The magic stone that was the power source of the Giant King was absorbed by the Demon Dragon King.
[It wasn’t a bad journey, brother.]
Tuuk.
The Demon Dragon King’s tail touched Typhon’s chest.
The space became distorted and the massive body fell backwards.
Belatedly, I realized that I was falling from the upper world to the lower world.
[I see.]
Typhon closed his eyes.
Solitude and play.
Even though I was caught up in that boring feeling, the name that came to mind still came to mind.
Rosaria.
It belonged to a trivial dream demon.
