Chapter 208: Rise of the Demon King (2)
Duke Joseph — one of Larisha’s closest aides and known as the Night King of Bamut. He went to hide and make himself stronger until he could oppose the current Demon King. He was one true loyal subordinate of Larisha, but he’s a f*cking jerk.
Whisper!
The Yongchun Group's site had fallen into chaos. The sound of massive shelling and firing in the area shocked all the cult members who fled their buildings.
They couldn't help but feel that a catastrophe was impending when they saw thousands of demons floating above.
‘W-what in the world...’
‘H-How can this happen….’
They knew these couldn't be comparable to the Gate beings they'd faced before by just glancing at the enemies’ capability to fly. It seemed as if they were watching the most skilled martial artists in the sky.
Chun Woo-jin, the Lord of the cult, was the one who brought them out of daze and confusion.
Srnmg!
He pulled out his sword and shouted.
“Members of the Sky Demon Order. Everyone, calm down! A Gate has opened right above our place. Are you just going to stand and watch?!”
As he advanced, executives such as Wang Shin, Dan Cho-jin, and the heads of the clans below them began to advance as well.
“Prepare for battle!”
“Prepare for battle!”
“Yes!!!”
The ground turned into chaos at their battle cries. The power of the Sky Demon Order within the Yongchun site wasn’t less.
Combining the power of the North Sea Ice clan and the clan that joined recently, they had close to 4,000 martial artists under them.
Tatata!
The bullets were still in the air.
The Demon King saw the members of the Sky Demon Order who were gathering down and gave orders to the commander next to him.
“Sweep them away.”
“Yes, Your Majesty!!!”
The leaders were ecstatic, and their morale rose as soon as they sensed the presence of an actual battlefield.
Even though they were dragged here forcibly by the Demon King, they were all war-like beings, so they couldn't contain their enthusiasm when a battle was about to happen.
“Each legion, eradicate all the worms on the ground! Attack!”
“Wahhhhh!!!!”
Phat! Phat!
Legions composed of low-level demons shouted and flew. The Sky Demon Order members couldn't hide their anxiety as thousands of people descended.
“Prepare for battle!”
Woong!
The warriors below skillfully handled their swords and weapons in response to their leaders' cries.
It was indeed a sight to see so many weapons having energy on them and shining in white and blue.
“Kill them!”
“Kill them all!”
Chachachachacha!
Attacks made of sword energy and internal energy soared up.
“Kahaha, see those worms fiercely rebelling against us!”
“Respond!”
“Use the sphere of demonic power!”
Seeing that, the demons upped their forces and threw the sphere to the ground. This marked the beginning of ranged attacks.
Kwakwakwa!
Thousands of attacks clashed and collided in the air. Smokes were smeared in the space between the land and the demons in the air. The clash was terrifying enough, considering it was only the beginning of the battle.
Papapak!
The demons made their way to the ground through the flames and smoke. Thousands of the Sky Demon Order members on both sides collided with the demons led by the Demon King.
From the moment it turned into a close encounter, it was war.
Chachachang!
‘What exactly are they?’
‘So strong.’
The members of the Sky Demon Order who clashed with the demons couldn’t hide their shock. The strength of the enemies was beyond common sense.
Even if they were low-level demons of Baron or Viscount, their power seemed to be on par with the Master and Super Master levels.
“Kuak!”
“Ack!”
As a result, the lower-level First Rate warriors couldn't help but get hit by them. It wasn't a matter of negligence, but the demons' battle experience, strength, and talents were vastly superior.
However, not everyone was swayed by it.
Shhhhh!
The demons froze whenever Dan Cho-jin spread his sword technique on the fierce battlefield. Taking advantage of that, the North Sea Ice clan broke the frozen demons down.
Crack!
There was also Wang Shin, who was wielding his two swords, and Marayun, a ruthless warrior moving with his seven Air Swords.
Furthermore, the famous warriors within the Sky Demon Order and the sub-clan leaders all demonstrated their valor.
But thanks to that, high-ranking demons were interested in them.
“There seem to be some fine ones. Haha.”
“I will deal with this human.”
The war became more intense as high-level Count level demons joined the battle and rushed to the clan leaders. The two sides were engaged in a fit of rage, and the situation was dire.
‘Things aren’t turning out fine.’
Chun Yu-jang, who was leading them, was observing the entire situation. Not all the demons had yet taken part.
The Marquis and higher-level demons were watching from the skies with their arms crossed, unlike the leaders of the Sky Demon Order, who were doing their best here.
It felt like they were being hunted.
‘I think the seniors under my ancestor should help.’
Baekgi, Mun Ran-yeong, and Hu Bong.
It appears that the situation would worsen if they didn't participate, but they couldn't be found anywhere.
Woong! Phat!
A loud roar was heard from the side of the main building, and a golden ray of light broke through it.
Kwakwakwang!
“Ugh!”
“Avoid!”
Due to the destructive power of the golden beam, everyone, regardless of demons or humans, avoided it. A great battle caught the eyes of those who had just moved.
“Fox?”
In the vicinity of the Yongchun Group, a golden fox and a demon in armor were fighting.
Their battle was different from the one here.
‘Damn it!’
The Golden Gumiho cursed. She gathered all the energy within her and spat out a beam at the bastard, but he simply bounced it off.
Thanks to that, she almost ended up hurting the cult members.
“Ahahaha. This feels so nice. Great! I thought I would have to deal with humans, but this is so much fun.”
On the other hand, Grand Duke Everdan’s morale had risen. He didn’t feel interested in humans, but he enjoyed this battle against the Golden Gumiho.
“Make me feel more enjoyed!”
She altered her plans in response to Grand Duke Everdan's demeanor.
‘Let’s fly higher.’
It appears that if the fight continued here, the members would get hurt. The Golden Gumiho, who thought of luring him, tried to fly.
However…
Shhh!
“I see what you are doing. Beast.”
Suddenly, Grand Duke Everdan appeared above her, clasped his hand around her head, and slammed her.
Kwang!
Kikikiki!
A scream of pain escaped from her mouth. Even in the middle of it, the Golden Gumiho was able to twist her body and sought to use her tail to weaken the impact.
Kuaaak!
Fortunately, she avoided destroying the main building. Grand Duke Everdan smiled bitterly as he saw her frantically trying not to harm those around her.
“You seem worried about other things and aren’t fighting properly. Then, I will erase your worries.”
Shhh!
Grand Duke Everdan raised his hand.
White spheres made of demonic power rose around the building.
Woong!
‘No!’
The Golden Gumiho was frightened of what was about to happen. She quickly moved four of her tails to wrap around the building, but Grand Duke Everdan laughed.
“You are slow, beast.”
And when he clenched his fist, the spheres rushed to the building at once.
—- Nooooo!
It was then…
The sphere moving towards the building suddenly changed its direction and flew up.
Papapak!
“Huh?”
Grand Duke Everdan was perplexed by what had occurred. Even his body lost its balance and flew upward at that time.
Wheing!
“What?”
The Golden Gumiho was also puzzled by what she saw.
Someone suddenly screamed.
“Now!”
That was the cry of the Gravity Witch, Yu So-hwa. She unfolded the Gravity Field, reversing the field within the perimeter.
Thanks to that, Grand Duke Everdan couldn’t stop and flew around.
Wheik!
Hundreds of spheres of flame appeared all around.
‘This?’
The Golden Gumiho glanced up on top of the building. Hu Bong and Mun Ran-yeong stood on the roof, their hands up, directing the flame qi spheres.
“Bong-bong!”
“I know!”
The two focused all their energy on Grand Duke Everdan, who was moving weirdly. Then the spheres rushed at once.
Swoosh!
“You people!”
Grand Duke Everdan looked at the spheres approaching him while he was still moving weirdly because of the gravitational field and tried to deflect the attack. However, another unexpected support was there for the humans.
Wheing!
“What?”
The terrifying wind came over and blew over him. The wind brought a vast amount of gale around.
“Hurry up!”
It was Im So-Hye, the third secretary of Chun Yeowun.
She sought the help of Hu Bong and Mun Ran-yeong to test whether they could control the sphere in zero gravity. Of course, even without that, the flames could reach Grand Duke, but only with tremendous effort.
“T-this!”
Kwakwakwang!
The moment the spheres of flame touched, a massive explosion occurred. If the gravitational field hadn’t made the Grand Duke float higher than the building, then the entire building would have been blown away.
Papapang!
“Haap!”
Baekgi, who was ready and prepared on the roof, blocked the explosion's aftermath that was coming in with an Invisible Kick. So the four could concentrate on the attacks.
At that, the Golden Gumiho smiled.
— That is pretty fine.
She told them to run, but she was worried they didn’t and tried to protect the building. However, she didn’t think they could think of such an attack.
—- Then, just to be sure.
She opened her mouth wide and concentrated the Yokai energy….
Goooo!
And shot out a golden beam of light to where the explosions occurred.
Pssss!
Grand Duke Everdan bounced it off before, but he couldn’t avoid it since he was currently trapped.
Kwaaang!
The beam hit the right at the center of the explosion, and Hu Bong was delighted with it.
“Yeah! She did it!”
It was a linking attack of those strongest here: the Golden Gumiho, the Divine Masters, and the SS-Class people. Who could avoid it?
Thud!
Yu So-hwa and Lim So-hye exhaustedly collapsed after doing their utmost to contain Grand Duke Everdan, who was able to retaliate against them with his strength.
“M.. monster.”
“I don’t think I can do anything now.”
Just looking at the veins on their foreheads and nosebleeds, one could tell how hard it was. They did a great job tying up that one Grand Duke, which surpassed an S-class Alpha.
The Golden Gumiho praised them.
—- You did well. Still, we managed to kill one of the annoying… shit!
While talking, she suddenly looked up.
Goooo!
The demonic power suddenly shook. The faces of Hu Bong and others went stiff. The sky turned silver.
“T-this…!”
“Everyone move!”
Everyone shouted the same thing. At that moment, a huge silver light shone from the sky and struck the building. The flash of light had a force that wanted to destroy the building and everything around.
—- Ahhh!
The nine tails of the Gumiho quickly wrapped around the whole building, including its roof. In that state, she opened her mouth and fired a golden beam at the silver flash.
Pssss!
Both rays of light collided. However, the gap between the two was entirely different. The golden one didn’t even last a few seconds and was overpowered by the silver light.
Kwaang!
The silver flash which covered the Gumiho also covered the building. A gust of wind broke out in all directions smashing down the other builds, and debris scattered up.
Papapak!
“Kuak!”
“Ack!”
The demons and the other members who were in a fierce battle were injured at this and thrown back. It was so powerful that it caused damage all over the place.
“W-what is this?”
Chun Yu-jang, who looked at the smoke around, was confused. Hundreds of people were hurt because of that flash that just happened.
However, in a situation where the demons were all injured, they were shouting.
“Wahhhh!”
“Advanced Awakening!”
As seen by the demons, there was a monster in the sky above the site whose body was now silver with only two eyes visible. It was Grand Duke Everdan.
— Damn things. How dare you target this Grand Duke!
Unlike the demons who cheered, the Grand Duke, which pride had been wounded in the last attack, stared down in rage.
He had to resort to Advanced Awakening as he nearly lost his life because of the attacks.
— Ha!
He let out an exasperated sound from his mouth.
— Such a foolish beast. You sacrificed your body to stop it?
After the smoke cleared outside the main building, it can be seen that the Golden Gumiho's fur was scorched. It was even more terrible to watch the blood pouring from the openly burnt flesh.
Shhh!
The scorched tail around the building fell down. Hu Bong, Mun Ran-yeong, and Baekgi managed to stand there because of their regeneration, but Yu So-hwa and Lim So-hye had collapsed.
“Miss Gumiho! Are you fine?”
Hu Bong was saved thanks to her, so he asked to know her condition.
However, each tail around the building had fallen.
— thud!
“Miss Gumiho!”
Besides Hu Bong, the other two people looking down hurried to her.
Only half of the Golden Gumiho’s face remained normal.
Her eyes, which looked out of focus, only told them to…
[ Run away. ]
The fox was dying. She couldn’t speak, yet she wanted to convey this to them through her eyes.
‘So foolish.’
Even she, herself, considered her actions to be foolish. She even wondered why she did this when she knew she couldn’t save them from the start.
However, she also knew the answer.
‘Chun Ma…’
She didn’t want to see Chun Yeowun, who resembled her Chun Ma, be sad about losing the people he cherished.
‘Will he be sad if I die?’
Tears welled in her eyes.
It wasn’t that she was afraid of death.
‘I want to see you.’
She wanted to see his face just once before she died.
“Foolish beast.”
Grand Duke Everdan, looking down at the Gumiho and the others around her, reached out his hand.
“I will show you mercy and kill you all right now.”
Woong!
Silver light shone on his fingers. The size of this was much larger than the flash before. Which meant he intended to destroy the entire area.
“There will be no more miracle, beast. As well as for you, humans who tried to attack me.”
The shame isn’t something he could recover from if he killed them once with his Advanced Awakening, but it was his way to repay such humiliation.
Hu Bong, Mun Ran-yeong, and Baekgi closed their eyes in despair, knowing they couldn’t stand it.
However, their despair vanished as they felt hopeless for disappointing their Lord.
‘Lord.’
‘Lord Chun Ma.’
Kwaaang!
The huge silver flash came onto them.
It was then…
Crack!
The space where the silver flash should have hit was distorted, and something like a black hole was creamed. It was a swinging black space.
And it sucked in the silver flash.
“No!”
“The silver flash is gone?”
The members of the cult and the demons trying to brace for the damage to it were shocked. Even Grand Duke Everdan was flustered.
‘What is that?’
No one should have been able to block his attack unless they had the same strength as him or the Demon King.
Wooong!
Creepy!
At that moment, he raised his head at the eerie feeling that came from above and saw…
— a Gate? When?
A massive Gate had opened up in the sky, and someone came out with a black suit.
“Woahhhh!”
Hu Bong saw this and cried out. Someone came out from the Gate, and it was no other than his Lord, Chun Yeowun. Tears fell from the Gumiho, lying on the floor, looking dead.
‘… you are late.’
It seemed like Chun Ma had granted her the request.
At the appearance of Chun Yeowun, who came back, all the Sky Demon Order members shouted at once.
“Woahhh!”
“Demon God! Demon God! Demon God!”
The demons were puzzled when the morale of the humans, which had been suppressed due to the Advanced Awakening, suddenly surged.
‘Why are these people suddenly acting like this?’
Woong!
That wasn’t the end.
Numerous beings began to appear from the open Gate. At first, they seemed to be around 1500 people, but they were demons.
— Ka-Kaliaf?
Grand Duke Everdan couldn’t hide his shock. The demon in a red coat with a golden crown on the right side of Chun Yeowun was Grand Duke Kaliaf.
‘Why is he there?’
And at the left was a demon with green eyes with tremendous power wearing a ragged black coat.
He was Duke Joseph, the Night King of the Bamut prison.
After he came out of that place, his form turned back to normal and displayed his green hair and tall figure.
“What should we do?”
“Give us the order, Master.”
At the attitude of the two high-ranking demons bowing their heads, the demons under the Demon King couldn’t understand this situation.
‘Why are they doing that?’
Chun Yeowun looked at the ground and had the order in the coldest voice.
“Kill all of them. Not a single one lives.”
With that, Grand Duke Kaliaf shouted loud to inform the demons behind.
“You heard that! Our Master has commanded!”
“Yes, Your Highness!!!”
Swoosh!
The demons that appeared from the Gate rushed to the ground at once.
