The King of the Battlefield

Chapter 232: What are you going to give me (2)

Bae Sungmin was looking at the couch with complicated eyes.

It felt like he was overflowing with more power than before and that the doors of wisdom had opened even more but he still didn’t know what were his feelings for Bae Suzy.

Probably…it’s because of his incomplete memories?

Bae Suzy was lying down as if she was dead. She was breathing but wasn’t waking up.

There was nothing Bae Sungmin could do in that state. No, It wasn’t even easy to put a hand on Bae Suzy.

It seemed like there was an invisible solid ‘wall’ between them.

Bae Sungmin continued to stay at that place even though several days had passed.

He was just standing still like a rock and checking on Bae Suzy.

‘How hard.’

But he didn’t stop thinking.

Perhaps Bae Sungmin was hoping for Bae Suzy to not open her eyes.

What if Bae Suzy woke up in his current state?

How did he have to treat her? Did he have to tell her that he was her dad?

But Bae Sungmin was already dead.

There was a clear difference from the father of Bae Suzy’s memories.

At this point it was hard to say that the Bae Sungmin from when he was alive and the current Bae Sungmin were the same beings.

Strictly speaking, 99% had changed and only 1% would have remained.

So were you able to say that those two were identical?

That’s the reason Bae Sungmin was feeling fear. Fear towards the unknown. Fear towards his emotions and several other things that were directed at Bae Suzy.

He didn’t feel a fear like this one even when he faced against Enroth. He never had emotions like this one no matter who he fought against.

Also…Bae Suzy would have already forgotten about ‘Bae Sungmin’.

The Underworld isn’t a place you can live on if you lie on your past. It was a land of death where you have to become firmer than anyone else if you wanted to stay alive.

If Bae Suzy didn’t remember about Bae Sungmin. That may also be fine by itself but even so Bae Sungmin couldn’t leave easily.

“Who are you?”

Bae Sungmin turned his head.

A muscular bald man was looking at him.

It was a man he never saw.

The man cooled his anger and spoke.

“I don’t know how things are turning but I am going to take away that child. This place is too dangerous for her.”

The man was King of Fighting.

He woke up just know since having lost consciousness because of Tacan.

He roamed this place after he woke up and realized the identity of this castle and also got to know that it was the castle of ‘Muyoung’ whom Bae Suzy was looking for but this place was just too ‘dangerous’ in his eyes.

Innumerable different races.

All kinds of monsters, spirits and undead were at this place.

This was a group that was against humanity. It was even hard for demons to accept it.

Something that wasn’t this or that would soon to perish.

Therefore, this place was dangerous.

Bae Sungmin closed his eyes for a moment.

He was right. This place was dangerous.

Now that they defeated the Demon King Enroth, they would get swept in the battle between demon gods earnestly.

Not even Muyoung was able to assert victory at that place and Bae Sungmin couldn’t sense how far will his powers work.

If they took Bae Suzy to that place she would certainly die.

Dying was actually because they couldn’t know what kind of things she could go through.

“What is your relationship with this girl?”

“I’m her master. I taught her.”

The King of Fighting didn’t show his temperament and answered the calmest possible.

The moment he saw him he realized.

That there was a ‘gap’ between the two of them that he couldn’t overcome.

A person at the level of the King of Fighting should know all the more what that ‘gap’ meant.

Honestly speaking…he couldn’t believe it and didn’t want to admit it.

For such a strong being to be at this castle. The 10 strongest humans? Humans gave the strong people that nickname but actually that was only self consolation.

The real strong beings were at the domain of the demon gods and not the land being ruled by humans.

And the lich in front of his eyes…?

So what kind of a monster would the master of this castle ‘Muyoung’ be?

‘I have to get out of here the fastest possible.’

This place was like a black hole.

If you fall in it you aren’t able to come out.

He had to return before that happened.

And if the lich stopped him he was planning to put his life on the line to rescue Bae Suzy and get her out of this place.

And he didn’t know why but the lich in front of him was taking care of Bae Suzy.

Maybe it was because he realized Bae Suzy’s potential or he wanted to use her as an ingredient in an experiment but no matter which one it was he didn’t like either.

The King of Fighting got nervous. If they were to fight, the lich was able to take his life in an instant.

“…Take her.”

But he got permission easier than he thought.

Bae Sungmin turned around.

Bae Suzy was a ‘living person’ either way. It was proper for her to live among the living and not recollect memories of dead beings like himself.

The eyes of King of Fighting Wang when looking at Bae Suzy were warm. He was also prepared to put his life on the line and fight against Bae Sungmin. It wasn’t easy to find a person like this.

Only then was Bae Sungmin able to get out of his room.

It was enough just having a person for Bae Suzy.

‘I am just a spirit of the past for that child.’

They were at the Underworld where they didn’t know what could happen.

He didn’t want to become luggage for her.

Muyoung was outside his castle. It was to find the parts that evolved among his ‘constitution’.

‘A constitution to lead monsters.’

Maybe it was because he became an incomplete immortal that monsters gathered at his surroundings the moment Muyoung got out of his castle.

But they felt the gap between them and weren’t able to approach easily.

‘The castle is being influenced by the shrine of Asura.’

The shrine of Asura had an effect that made monsters not being able to invade easily.

In addition, Muyoung’s influence is deeply rooted at that place so the monsters over there didn’t face through any particular changes.

However, the monsters of the outside considered Muyoung to be delicious food.

‘I’m stimulating their instincts.’

The fainter their consciousness was, the more they got attracted to Muyoung.

And the strongest monster with the faintest consciousness should certainly be ‘Chunkyung’.

A monster protecting the Demon God’s Territory for Diablo.

Not even Muyoung could mess with him easily at his current state.

If it entered Muyoung’s rage, then it would come charging towards him like crazy trying to devour him.

‘It will be nice not to approach him.’

There was no need to create unnecessary problems.

No matter the case, if his constitution became one to attract monsters then he should find a way to use that in his advantage.

When Muyoung obtained his half divinity he also, obtained an ability to ‘sympathize’ with his surroundings.

If he used his sympathizing ability and attracted the monsters…He felt like he would even be able to ‘captivate’.

‘Captivation huh.’

Muyoung mixed two abilities.

They say that eating delicious food is similar to ‘love’.

Captivating the monsters should be easier because he can attract and sympathize with them.

“Follow me.”

And just like Muyoung expected the monsters started to follow Muyoung’s simple order.

When he maximized his ability to sympathize he was able to move the monsters as he wished without speaking.

Ha!

Even Muyoung snorted at that scene.

Monsters that weren’t even undead were following Muyoung whom they had seen for the first time.

But of course, it didn’t mean that it worked with all monsters but it still had an effect.

‘Was the king of all monsters Asura?’

Then Muyoung was steadily stepping on Asura’s road.

<’Captivation (Special)’ has been unlocked.>

<You are able to captivate monsters with a faint consciousness.>

If he maximized this ability he would be able to control an army not necessarily of undead.

Making undead consumed magic power but just controlling them only consumed a little bit of mental power so you couldn’t say which one was better.

The best use for it was being able to improvise with it at urgent situations.

―I finished my preparations.

It was at that moment.

He got contacted by Bae Sungmin.

‘It seems like he organized his feelings.’

Muyoung had given Bae Sungmin all the rights to choose.

Whether being with Bae Suzy or not.

Muyoung told him to finish with preparations when he finished choosing between those two options.

Preparations to go meet ‘Gremory’.

‘The time has come.’

Muyoung turned back and returned to his castle.

It was going to get really busy from now on.

“Paimon! You still couldn’t purge up the opposition party?”

A half human and half beast.

The being that had the upper body of an elephant and lower body of a human came flying by flocking its six pair of wings.

About a million demons were prostrating below him.

And Paimon, the demon god of the 9th seat that talked to the half beast, opened his mouth while taking in the appearance of a shadow wearing a black armor.

“Bune.”

“Baal wishes for this to get accomplished the fastest possible.”

“Wait. Gremory isn’t an opponent that is easy to deal with.”

“Didn’t Haures catch her tail? I thought that he only had to pull on her tail.”

“That Haures died by the hands of Diablo. This isn’t simple coincidence.”

The demon god of the 26tht seat, Bune, smirked.

“What a coward.”

“Digging into all secrets is my role. It’s not correct to say that Haures died by the ‘flames’ of Diablo.”

“So that isn’t true?”

Paimon shook his head.

“You need another condition to kill Haures. You can’t just kill him with simple ‘fire’.”

All demon gods had their respective ‘conditions’ that lead them to their deaths.

It was the same as having to ‘kill all demon gods’ to be able to face Baal.

And Haures had two conditions.

One is a much simpler ‘fire’. As for the other one…

“But the other condition of Haures hasn’t been made public.”

“Betrayal.”

“What?”

The other condition is ‘betrayal’. That must have been done by Gremory.”

Fire can’t burn alone.

It always needed something else to burn.

If it had nothing to burn then the fire disappeared.

The strongest suspect was Gremory. The only female demon god. With her power, it was possible to make the underlings of Haures to betray him.

But Bune didn’t like Paimon.

“Half of the opposition party has been purged up. If we catch Gremory everything will end. Why are you delaying? We should just go and catch her if her location has been found out.”

“There is an unknown interference. Not only Diablo but another strong existence has interfered. We can’t move rashly until we find out who that is.”

Paimon was cautious.

Baal gave him credit for that but the other demon gods only felt frustrated.

“Hmph! Then just keep watching. Baal has thrown into the battlefield someone else other than Paimon.”

“Someone else…? Who?”

“Lerajie!”

Bune was speaking confidently.

The demon god of war and competition, the demon god of the 14th seat Lerajie.

They could say that he was the most adequate to bring this war to an end.

If Lerajie got out, then there was no space for Paimon to hesitate anymore. Bune thought that way.

Interference of a third party? If it was Lerajie, he could destroy anything of that sort.

“I can’t allow any obstruction Paimon.”

Bune then spoke menacingly.

Paimon turned around and spread his wings.

“I just dig out secrets.”
