Part 2 Episode 95
An immediate battle began.
Typhon designated Mammon and Mephisto, Orgal designated Phaedo as his opponent, and Hazzard designated Asura as his opponent to increase the distance between them.
On the surface, it was for a smooth battle, but on the inside, it was to avoid interfering with the battle between Taehyun and Gilper.
If there are multiple opponents, the strongest one should be Taehyeon. If the opponent is alone, the three arch-dongs should face him first.
This was something that had already been discussed before coming here to the Demon World.
Taehyun looked into Gilfer’s red eyes.
He has darker red eyes than any time he remembers.
‘It won’t be easy to persuade someone like Hazard.’
Hazard had no memories of spending time with Taehyeon and was questioning his own existence and revelation after contact with Asmodeus.
On the other hand, Gilper returned and reached the present with his memories preserved.
He has ambition, conviction, and a plan to back it up.
‘I also obtained a back ship called Igmun, which was in contact with the constellation.’
There is no reason to join hands again with Taehyun, who has fallen so hard. It wasn’t strange to think about it that way.
Since they have an equal level of power, it would be strange not to test them.
[You look curious about Asmodeus?]
“If you’re curious. “Tell me?”
Taehyun shrugged his shoulders as if it was no big deal.
I saw the corners of Gilper’s mouth rise.
[You still take your time before a battle. That guy ran away.]
He said he was the winner of the Battle of Ten Thousand Demons.
Gilper said, labeling the thorn with ‘poison’ and ‘fear’.
‘The thorn of poison’ and the ‘thorn of tyranny’.
It was confirmed that he was able to digest the powers of Beelzebub and Diablo better than Taehyun.
‘Run away.’
I don’t think Gilper would lie.
Asmodeus is a demon king who has fully realized his true potential. A demonic dragon that combines the power of Baal.
In those two states, there is no way Gilfer, who is in the Underworld King state, will be pushed aside.
‘Even if you can handle divine magic, you won’t be able to fully use the power of the King of the Upper World in the Underworld.’
If it were not for the upper world king state that combined the previous two states with the power of the archangel, it would not be strange for the current Gilfer to win.
‘Gilfer, who is in the state of King of the Underworld, is my opponent. Should I be happy about this?…’
Taehyun wasn’t the only one who understood the opponent’s strength.
[I’ve been curious about this before.]
The demon king who became the king of the underworld after the end of the race war.
King Ha-gye, who became the unified king after ending the tribal war.
He wanted to see which of them had the upper hand.
[The current brothers seem to have regained the strength they had during their time as King of the Underworld.]
Her eyes were fixed on Taehyeon’s chest.
The energies of many Archdukes can be felt in one body.
I know why.
Magic stone. The heart of a monster that can contain various magical powers depending on its level.
‘Rosaria Elven Typhon Lucifer Orgal Hazard Jormungand. And… did it also form the Demon King’s?’
The inherent magical power felt from the eight magic stones emits a huge presence.
The difference from past memories is that the Magic Stone that contained the magic power of himself and Igmun is empty, but the presence felt by Taehyun is not lacking at all compared to then.
Rather, the unknown sense of déjà vu tells me to avoid direct confrontation.
‘When we first met, it was in an incomplete state… What on earth did you do?’
The speed at which Taehyun regains his strength makes no more sense than his own.
Moreover, I heard that the unique power ‘predation’ was sealed.
According to common sense, the current level of growth is close to impossible.
“I think this is the end of the search for existence.”
Whoops.
Starting from the magical power that Taehyun spread, a huge curtain spread around.
Although it was simply a matter of opening up magical power, it would have felt like a huge barrier to those of lower rank than them.
“Gilfer. “What is the real purpose?”
[Didn’t I tell you? The original demon wants to become the pinnacle of the three thousand worlds.]
Gilper opened his mouth, savoring the enormous magical power surrounding him.
Colorless magical power.
A more intense sense of power was felt from the magical power that clearly belonged to the Elven.
It seemed like Taehyun wasn’t the only one who got stronger.
‘Could it be that Rosaria has regained her past power? If it’s true, it’s like we’ve already recovered the power we had during the tribal war.’
It is different from the one who ended the tribal war and reigned in a period of peace.
Taehyeon’s army was an elite force that had already completed preparations for the next war.
“No, such superficial determination is not enough.”
Taehyun showed a determined look.
There are holes in her words.
If you are simply trying to protect the species, you need to join forces with the Elven who was the King of the Upper World.
Even though he has obtained the power of the Underworld King, there is no need to be with Igmun, who has other plans.
[Bonma will ensure that the three thousand worlds no longer become the playthings of kings.]
“What?”
[King of the Underworld. King Sanggye. King of integration. I’m tired of watching their reincarnation.]
“….”
There was a sense of death in her enemy’s eyes.
‘Are you trying to go beyond the King of the Underworld and become a unified king?’
Considering the past of retaining memories even while giving up one’s powers, it seems quite possible.
“But that’s not enough.”
It’s a bigger world outside.
In the end, if you do not become a constellation, you cannot have the three thousand worlds as a microcosm.
[That’s something only someone who has become a constellation can say. Don’t worry. I have prepared for that as well.]
In response to her thorn, Taehyun raised his dragon slayer sword.
Taehyun also needs to become a unified king in order to go out again.
If there was only one person who could rise to that position.
“It’s impossible for me to give in.”
Whoops.
A deep magical power bloomed in the dragon slayer sword.
The colorless and purple magic quickly begins to mix.
I swung the dragon slayer without delay.
Huh.
[….]
The wind that cuts through space.
On the outside, nothing has changed.
But Gilpert recognized it.
They entered personal space for a moment.
The pressure pressing down on my body became even stronger.
[okay. It should be like this.]
Two thorns. She raised her poisonous net and viciousness and smiled bitterly.
It’s not just space that has changed in a short period of time.
Taehyun’s appearance began to change into that of a demon.
[It’s been a while since I saw that appearance.]
In the past, Taehyun used to use that power by fusing it with his body to adapt to the power of the great princes.
[But now that’s the way it is. Isn’t this the same as admitting that I can’t use Predation?]
“If you lose to me like this, the Demon King’s reputation will be ruined.”
Defeats the Demon King in the form of a demon.
The intention to lower the level in one match was clear.
[A brutal yet provocative match. I’m sure it’s the brother the original demon knew.]
A new magical power unfolds around Gilper.
purgatory.
It was the Demon King’s territory taken from Mammon.
Taehyeon watched the area she was forming and summoned the Spirit King.
Ygritte Zenki Varanos.
The three Spirit Kings expressed their disapproval at the situation in front of them.
[Why are there two demon kings?]
[That’s Gilper, the ancient great devil.]
[Why is Kim Tae-hyun again…]
This is when the spirit kings can’t help but be embarrassed by the appearance of their contracted person, who looks like an infallible demon king.
“Please prevent the territory from expanding further.”
With those last words, Taehyun and Gilper tangled together.
[Now, I am being summoned by the Demon King.]
[I am no longer embarrassed to curse at the demon race.]
[First… let me fulfill your request.]
[It seems like an order, not a request.]
[I cannot refuse that . I’m not in a position to do that. Let’s just shut up and move.]
Separate from the battle between the two demon kings, they were spirit kings who were focused on destroying Purgatory.
* * *
Fairy Forest.
The Elven, who had assimilated with the Divine Beast, was busy moving.
Her red eyes, curved like a crescent moon, moved left and right, and a huge amount of magical energy continued to flow from her body.
This is because they share the view so that they can check the battle of the three archdukes who left for the Demon World and also watch the other archdukes who were waiting.
Share Orgal’s vision to battle Phaedo.
Share Hazard’s vision to battle Asura.
Share Typhon’s vision to battle Mammon Mephisto.
The information collected through the three perspectives was being reproduced as three holograms made of magical power.
[Tsk. Those guys have also achieved considerable growth.]
The Elven clicked his tongue as he looked at the four demon kings the archdukes were dealing with.
As the coordinates were fixed late, it was confirmed that even those who could be considered enemies had completely completed their recovery.
No, not only has the strength been restored, but the imperfection has been completely removed.
It would not be enough to say that each and every one of them is of the caliber of Beelzebub or Diablo.
Just one month.
In the meantime, all of these imperfect people have become perfect.
I would be lying if I said I wasn’t embarrassed.
[We may need to re-evaluate the number of Archdukes in the underworld.]
[The main woman also thinks the same way.]
Rosaria agreed with Lucifer’s words.
Unlike Typhon Hazard, who took his time against him, Orgal was fighting fiercely against Phaedon.
Rather, it was Orgal whose body wounds increased as time passed.
[Typhon and Hazard. There’s no need to worry about those guys. That Orgal guy… is worthy of the name Archduke. As a member of the family, I want to help.]
[Huh~ Don’t say things you don’t mean, Elven. For something like that, isn’t your mouth smiling?]
[Rosaria. Are you so insensitive to your younger brother’s pain by becoming a younger sister?]
[She doesn’t remember participating in your family games.]
[Typhon will be upset if she hears.]
[….]
Elven and Rosaria.
Lucifer, who was watching the friendly conversation between the two princes, shook his head.
Such friendly relations between archdukes.
To him who grew up through corruption and betrayal, this kind of conversation was nothing more than an unfamiliar sound.
[Enough with the nonsense. Is it possible to check Kim Tae-hyun’s field of vision?]
[Lucifer, you’re asking for too much. If the contractor does not allow it, there is no way to do it.]
[…]
[This is… what kind of plan is Gilfer planning?]
Rosaria muttered, recalling memories of the past.
If you have four demon kings, you should already have regained the power you had when you were the king of the underworld.
However, I still don’t know why he is hostile to Taehyeon and not just holding hands.
Also, it is unknown what Taehyeon’s thoughts are as he spreads a barrier around the area and does not allow sharing of views.
[I don’t think Kim Tae-hyun will lose.]
[You’re saying it’s obvious. The contractor has also already regained the status of King of the Underworld.]
In the past month, Taehyeon signed contracts with all of the princes he recruited.
Their magical energy was completely contained in the magic gemstones, and they completely adapted to the bodies formed by the eight magic gemstones.
Only ‘Predation’ cannot be used, but its power of existence is in no way inferior to that of the past Underworld King.
[It looks like Gilper has also regained his status as the King of the Underworld. A battle between the two is inevitable.]
A king must have a clear relationship between superiors and subordinates.
Taehyun and Gilper. If the battle ends, one of the two will lose the position of King of the Underworld and fall is inevitable.
They were expecting a picture in which Taehyeon would retain his position as King of the Underworld and Gilper would be defeated.
[Guilper might want to join in on the family fun too. Being the youngest would be burdensome… I wonder if Orgal’s older sister would be good.] This
is when the Elven touches her chin and murmurs as if she is truly worried.
[….]
After a while, her body twitched.
[An uninvited guest came.]
[What do you mean?]
[…]
The Elven opened another screen without answering.
Outskirts of the fairy forest.
A place where a huge barrier unfolds.
There was Igmun, clad in blood-red magic.
