Descent of the Demon God

Chapter 209: Rise of the Demon King (3)

“Woahhhhh!!!!’

The war situation changed once again due to the appearance of the demon clan under Chun Yeowun.

They included the demons in the prison, who numbered over 500 and were all equal to Count or even Marquis level demons.

The faces of the demons under the Demon King were dyed in tension at the tremendous power they felt.

“They’re coming!”

“Stop them!”

The demons gathered against the opponents they could fight well.

‘W-what is this?’

Commander Cho Yun, who was there with the National Guard, was in a trance, forgetting about what had happened before that led him to the Yongchun site. What would he do now?

Not a single person under his command could say anything.

Demon King Taura’s eerie and sharp eyes were looking at one being: Duke Joseph, who was back in his normal form.

The green glow in his eyes sent a ghastly look towards the Demon King, but Duke Joseph looked nothing like the last time Demon King Taura had seen him.

‘He was alive?’

The Demon King was sure that Duke Joseph was dead, but when he had appeared through the Gate, only one thought went through his mind: the seed of strife.

Even since Taura ascended to the throne of the Demon King, Duke Joseph had constantly threatened his existence.

‘Kaliaf….and Joseph.’

The two beings who doubted him were now together; how could this be anything but a good opportunity? The Demon King smiled.

“Now, I can kill them both.”

Smile!

Although he was just expressing his emotions, a tremendous and intimidating sensation emanated throughout the area.

‘!!!’

All eyes were focused on him.

‘What pressure!’

‘Is he a monster?’

The Demon King’s presence brought fear into everyone on the battlefield.

His ferocious aura was even strong enough to suffocate them.

‘Taura!’

Duke Joseph, who was about to descend to the ground at Chun Yeowun’s command, stopped. He realized that the energy was menacing enough to terrify the others, although he himself was not scared at all.

For a long time, he had hated just one being, and now was an opportunity he couldn’t let go of.

“Tauraaa!!!”

Duke Joseph covered his face with his right hand as a great pressure rose about and his whole body was dyed green.

A disgusting smell spread out: the putrid smell of poison.

“Duke Joseph!”

Grand Duke Kaliaf, who was heading down, couldn’t hide his shock. He was worried that this might happen and it did.

Duke Joseph was the one who always had habored anger towards Demon King Taura before coming through the Gate, prompting Kaliaf to try to deter him.

“Duke Joseph, doing it alone is impossible—”

“Kaliaf!”

He then heard someone scream. Grand Duke Kaliaf turned his head just as he saw a silver light flying towards him.

“Everdan!”

Red eyes shone within a fully silver form: it was Everdan in his Advanced Awakening form.

“How dare you break the law and do this!”

He was convinced that Kaliaf was committing treason, and was flying in to stop him.

Grand Duke Kaliaf was perplexed at Everdan’s actions. In terms of strength, he was a step ahead of Everdan, although after losing an arm to Chun Yeowun, his body was damaged and his strength was not up to par..

‘I can’t do anything.’

He couldn’t handle him. Grand Duke Kaliaf raised his hand to his face and tried to use Advanced Awakening, but,

Shh!

Someone blocked Grand Duke Everdan, who was flying in quickly.

“Huh?!”

Grand Duke Everdan immediately moved up avoid being blocked and lightly moved his hand to cut down the hindrance.

Baaang!

The opponent however, simply blocked his attack. However, the successful block wasn’t even the most surprising part:

‘A human?’

It wasn’t someone from the demon clan who blocked his attack, but rather a human: Chun Yeowun.

Everdan had forgotten about Kaliaf’s betrayal, and was now more concerned about the human.

“Human, you seem to be quite a lot. I want to play with you but I do not have the time to deal—”

“Did you do that?”

“What?”

Chun Yeowun extended his finger, pointing at the form of the golden Gumiho with burned fur and skin.

Although it was such a horrible sight, Everdan laughed.

“I see. Looks like you want to take revenge for that beast.”

“So you did that?”

Chun Yeowun’s voice seemed strange. Taking the chance, Grand Duke Everdan provoked him.

“Isn’t it nice to eat something once it is burned? If you want, I can make you like—”

Tak!

At that moment, Chun Yeowun’s hand went to his head.

Grand Duke Everdan, who felt defenseless as it happened, thought the attempt was absurd.

“How dare you, a human, hold the head of a Grand Duke—”

“Are you ready for this?”

“What?”

Crack!

“Kwaaak!”

Before Grand Duke Everdan could even ask what this was, Chun Yeowun’s finger poked into his head. The Grand Duke’s Advanced Awakening body, which he was so proud of, was pierced as Chun Yeowun’s finger kept digging in deeper.

“You bastard!”

Both of the hands of Grand Duke Everdan,who was angry and in pain, were dyed in flashing silver lights: Silver Flash.

As if controlling the lights, he tried to cut Chun Yeowun’s body in half, but Chun Yeowun’s hands were quicker.

Kwang!

“Kuack!”

Crack!

When Chun Yeowun struck down the head with the motion of a hammer, Grand Duke Everdan’s neck broke with the sound of his head digging into his body, which fell limp onto the ground.

Swoosh! Thud!

“I’ll be back. Stay here for a second.”

Chun Yeowun said to Kaliaf and went down to the ground.

Grand Duke Kaliaf, who was watching everything unfoled, pointed Chun Yeowun to the place where Duke Joseph was rushing to: the Demon King.

‘This…’

He had to stop the Demon King. The neck of Grand Duke Everdan, who had fallen down, grew from his body as he returned.

Dududuk!

Although not as proficient as Grand Duke Kaliaf, he was regenerating. Grand Duke Kaliaf shook his head to the side as if feeling dizzy.

Kuak!

From that one blow, Grand Duke Everdan realized that his opponent wasn’t any weaker than him.

‘Is he actually human?’

The blow that Chun Yeowun inflicted caused a serious injury to him, something he had never experienced since becoming a Grand Duke.

Swoosh!

Chun Yeowun landed right in front of Grand Duke Everdan, who hurriedly tried to stretch out his hand to hit Chun Yeowun with the silver flash. At that moment, however, something passed through his shoulder.

Slash!

“Kuak!”

His right arm was severed before he could use it.

‘This is some crazy shit!’

Losing the chance to attack, Grand Duke Everdan panicked and moved back.

‘I will die if this continues.’

Grand Duke Everdan, who judged that moving back was the best move, decided to use Silver Flash on his entire body.

Wooong!

Using Silver Flash on his whole body was something he could only use while in his Advanced Awakening state, and it would cause enemies who attacked him to receive damage as well.

‘It would be better to keep this distance than to subdue him…’

Swoosh!

However, Chun Yeowun appeared right in front of him. Despite the sudden presence that approached him once more, Grand Duke Everdan stayed still as Chun Yeowun stretched out his hand.

‘Idiot!’

Grand Duke Everdan laughed at Chun Yeowun’s attempt to attack him; his entire body was protected by Silver Flash so Chun Yeowun’s close-combat would benefit Everdan.

However, it only turned out to be an illusion.

Wheik!

Chun Yeowun’s hand filled with black flames.

“Huh?”

Chun Yeowun’s hand, dyed in black flame, then grabbed Grand Duke Everdan’s face.

Chik!

The Silver Flash that Grand Duke Everdan used on his own face then began to burn and Chun Yeowun didn’t hesitate to throw the Grand Duke to the floor.

Kwaaang!

The moment he hit the floor, the ground cracked. The force was so powerful that a 100 meter wide crater was created on impact.

However, the pain that Grand Duke Everdan felt was more intense than that.

Wheik!

Black flames spread from his face to his entire body, burning down the Silver Flash surrounding his body and penetrating into his body.

Chik!

“Kuaaak!”

Grand Duke Everdan screamed at the black flame burning him on the inside and outside. He struggled to escape Chun Yeowun’s grasp, but the more he squirmed and resisted, the stronger the flame burned.

“Let go! Kuak! Please! Let—”

Chun Yeowun spoke to the suffering demon,

“Didn’t you say things are better burnt? Let’s burn you to a crisp.”

‘T-this bastard?’

At those words, Grand Duke Everdan felt chills run down his spine; the burning he received was exponentially worse than what he had inflicted on the Gumiho.

The golden Gumiho, who was losing her consciousness, saw something black appear in her eyes, which had no energy.

‘This?’

It was Grand Duke Everdan, who was fully black; the only things that stood out from his figure were his crimson eyes.

“Please… please… just kill me.”

Grand Duke Everdan looked at her, begging to be killed. He was in so much pain because the seemingly undying black flames, which would eternally torture him as his body regenerated through the flames.

It was refreshing to see such a monster begging.

“It is unfortunate that a Great Yokai beast had to fight such trash.”

A blunt voice rang in her ears, and upon hearing it, her eyes lit up.

‘Chun Ma…’

When she opened her eyes, she saw Chun Yeowun holding the nape of the demon, causing her to grin.

‘They are so alike.’

Even though he never said it, Chin Yeowun hated it when she touched him. Every time she saw Chun Yeowun, she was reminded of the same scent as the first Chun Ma, which made her feel faint

With the last of her strength, she expressed her will:

“I am… glad… I got… to… see… you… before… I died.”

Her energy was barely detectable and she was tire, but seeing Chun Yeowun for the last time meant a lot to her.

“You… came… sooner… than… your… ancestor...”

The golden Gumiho lost the last signs of life in her eyes, prompting Chun Yeowun to place his hand on her forehead.

“Who’s sending you away?”

“If you like… me… so much… don’t… pretend otherwise…”

“Don’t get it mixed up.”

Woong!

‘!?’

At that moment, yokai energy rushed through her forehead.

‘Ah!’

Her eyes, which were dulled and out of focus, trembled.

If she had simply been given yokai energy it would have taken time for her to accept it, but Chun Yeowun didn’t use just any yokai energy: the yokai energy he gave her was her own.

“Instead of giving you my power, I’ll let you take yours back.”

It was her yokai energy that he had absorbed in the past and was finally utilized properly. The body of the Gumiho, which had been burned and was trembling, began to regenerate again.

Looking at her improving condition, Chun Yeowun mumbled,

“Have some more.”

At those words, the golden Gumiho grinned.

Meanwhile, something horrible was happening in the sky.

“Kuaaak!”

Duke Joseph had his neck in the hands of the Demon King; he had rushed ahead only to tragically die as he was exhaling green poison.

His lower body seemed to be in a horrible state.

“Kuak!... Kuak!”

Far away, Grand Duke Kaliaf’s Advanced Awakening was stopped by a huge black hand.

‘This… this difference…’

Duke Joseph, who had grown stronger in Bamut, was amazed.

He, who was the best of the three Grand Dukes, had jumped in, but the result didn’t change.

The Demon King hadn’t even True Awakened; his power could be as strong as God.

“What, did you believe you could attack? Duke Joseph, you should have hidden yourself till the end.”

Demon King Taura laughed at their mistakes with an eerie smile. With difficulty, Joseph answered,

“Lari…”

“What?”

“Larisha is back”

“La…risha?”

The lower body of Demon King trembled. Puzzled by what was happening with the Arisha armor on his body, he felt a sharp energy.

Pak!

Demon King Taura removed his hand from Duke Joseph as a black line cut through the air.

Slash!

If he was a moment later, the wrist holding Duke Joseph would have been cut.

‘This..’

Shh!

The Demon King’s eyes narrowed as he felt the power and raised his head towards Chun Yeowun.

“Are you the Demon King?”

The Demon King frowned at Chun Yeowun, who was speaking arrogantly from a higher position in the sky.
