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 pa.s.sed.

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 ident.i.ty 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 G.o.ds earnestly.

Not even Muyoung was able to a.s.sert 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 G.o.ds 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 w.a.n.g 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 ‘const.i.tution’.

 ‘A const.i.tution 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 G.o.d’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 const.i.tution 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.="">

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 G.o.d 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 G.o.d 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 G.o.ds had their respective ‘conditions’ that lead them to their deaths.

It was the same as having to ‘kill all demon G.o.ds’ 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 G.o.d. 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 G.o.ds 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 G.o.d of war and compet.i.tion, the demon G.o.d 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 s.p.a.ce 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.”

Enroth.

The demon king that was an undead in the past but had now become an undead thanks to Muyoung.

He knew a vast amount of spells as expected of an underling of Amon and his magic power was as vast as that.

 ‘Shar-Shazar got killed in the explosion inside the barrier with Roosevelt.’

The first one that got turned into an undead was Shar-Shazar but he ended up dying in the battle with Roosevelt.

But Enroth was above all of them.

Muyoung couldn’t help but think about how he would be ‘using’ Enroth.

 “Speak what you currently know about the demon G.o.ds.”

If you become an undead you suffer inevitable damage in your body. Although Muyoung returned him through how he normally was through a prayer of ‘Als Nova’ there could still be defects in Enroth’ memory.

But it was Enroth’ we were talking about. He must know a lot of things about the war between demon G.o.ds.

Information was power and Muyoung was more careful than ever.

Enroth turned his head with dead eyes.

 “The Underworld belongs to the demons… The purge of the opposition has already been executed halfway…”

It meant that they would only leave demons in the Underworld.

It also meant that they would exterminate all other lifeforms and the ones that were opposed to it were called the ‘opposition party’.

 “How many of the opposition party are there?”

 “Five. Murmur, Gremory, Forneus, Seatree, Asmodai.”

This was the reason the opposition party could only lose in the first place.

They were overwhelmed in numbers. The ones that were ‘opposed’ to it were merely 10 demon G.o.ds.

They had endured for more than tens of years with that number so you could say that that by itself was impressive, but the situation was turning quickly.

Acceleration.

If a few more years pa.s.sed like this, the seeds of the opposing party would completely dry up.

It was then. Enroth continued to speak.

 “The 54 thrones. Succeeded in making contact with ‘Murmur’…Found out the ‘condition’ of the opposing party. But due to an unknown ‘interference’ and Diablos’ movements, time was delayed…”

His words got cut at parts.

It was because they weren’t able to restore his memories completely.

But there were things that entered Muyoung’s ears quite clearly.

 “Condition? Are you talking about the ‘extinction condition’ of the demon G.o.ds?”

 “That’s right. I heard about Gremory’s, Forneus’, Seatree’s, Asmodais’ condition from ‘Murmur’.”

 “So what is the condition?”

 “…….”

Enroth shut his mouth.

It was because he didn’t know. Even though he was the strongest demon king, an ‘extinction condition’ was a secret among secrets even within the demon G.o.ds. It was utterly impossible that they would tell him that.

 ‘I lack information.’

Muyoung continued asking a few more things after that but Enroth didn’t know a lot of things contrary to his expectations.

He could feel a clear line separating demon kings and demon G.o.ds here.

He needed someone that knew a lot about demon G.o.ds.

But only demon G.o.ds know about other demon G.o.ds.

And the only demon G.o.d Muyoung could make contact with was ‘Gremory’.

However, getting close to Gremory meant that he would be entering the fight in earnest.

If he entered the fight then he wouldn’t have strength left to gather information. He would just be moving as he was swept by the storm.

Information…He needed more information.

At that moment someone pa.s.sed through his mind.

 “Dantalian. Tell me everything you know about him.”

Enroth answered un.o.bstructed at this question.

 “Renegade. Freak. A being of the ‘cornerstone’.”

Words that were more offensive than he thought came out.

But more than that, a being of the cornerstone.

 ‘It means that he’s an outsider.’

Well, he never heard that Dantalian moved together with someone.

It meant that the easiest demon G.o.d to approach was Dantalian.

And Muyoung knew someone that could help him get close to Dantalian.

 “Bae Sungmin!”

The moment Muyoung yelled, a black circle appeared in the floor and a much stronger Bae Sungmin than before appeared.

 “Did you call?”

Muyoung spoke with no hesitation.

 “Call Azul. If he doesn’t cooperate then make him kneel down in front of me.”

Azul!

Originally a demon king subordinate to Dantalian.

Muyoung helped him get past the ‘Sky Lord’ but he also ran away when he knew that there was a war going with Enroth.

If that’s the case he should also know about this subject with Dantalian.

Bae Sungmin thought about it for a moment and bowed.

 “Two days is enough.”

 “The faster the better it is.”

 “Can I ask for the reason?”

It seemed like it even made Bae Sungmin curious.

Muyoung answered like it was nothing.

 “I am going to meet Dantalian.”

 “Are you talking about the 71st demon G.o.d? But he is a dangerous being.”

Dantalian. He was more famous for his truth mixed in with lies rather than his power. The number of victims that got deceived by him are uncountable.

Even ‘Muldurdun’, that once ruled the sea, got deceived by Dantalian and lost his body.

But those tricks didn’t work on Muyoung.

If you add the ability to sympathize to Muyoung’s ability to distinguish lies, then it wasn’t an exaggeration to say that Dantalian’s natural enemy was Muyoung.

Not only that.

Muyoung had Gabriel’s power too.

 “I won’t get dazed by him.”

 “…I understand. I will go capture Azul the fastest I can.”

Those were the words Muyoung said.

Muyoung didn’t speak at all if he wasn’t confident.

Having claimed that meant that he was that confident.

To even win against the prodigy of lies, Dantalian.

Bae Sungmin hid himself in the shadows again.

 ‘Dantalian.’

Muyoung wiped his chin.

He knew many things.

Perhaps he may also know the truth of this world.

He knew that Earth had been destroyed so perhaps he may also know about Solomon.

Muyoung needed to meet him to confirm that.

And if he doesn’t cooperate…

 ‘I’m curious whether I can turn a demon G.o.d into an undead.’

Muyoung shrugged his shoulders.

 “d.a.m.n it!”

That was the first thing Azul said when he saw Muyoung.

Bae Sungmin said that he would take two days but it didn’t even take that.

Only half a day had pa.s.sed but Azul was already in front of Muyoung.

It was late in the night and Azul’s vexing expression was a masterpiece.

 “You didn’t die even after getting attacked by Shar-Shazar! But do you really think I will spill something just because you managed to catch me!?”

Azul cursed out but he couldn’t even move. It was because Bae Sungmin’s magic power was tying his entire body.

 “Do you think someone like Shar-Shazar can do something to me?”

Muyoung smirked.

And Azul put a sour expression.

 “Did you defeat Shar-Shazar? Then you are in a bigger danger. You will get attacked by Enroth soon. The Demon King of Steel Enroth! Roosevelt and Fraeda will charge in like wolves. If you aren’t planning on leaving me in the same place you will die, then…!”

It seemed like Azul didn’t know that Muyoung had come out victorious in all the wars.

Well, the time Azul escaped was right after hearing Shar-Shazar’s story so he could be unaware about the war that took place after that.

Clap!

Muyoung clapped his hands.

And then Enroth surged up from behind Muyoung.

 “…Wh, what is it! Why is he along with you!?”

Azul got astonished.

Shar-Shazar, Roosevelt, Fraeda… they were all famous demon kings, but their master was Enroth.

Enroth’ reputation soared to the sky. At least for the demon kings, Enroth was someone they respected, revered and feared.

Azul was also a demon king. There was no way he didn’t know of Enroth’ reputation.

 “Enroth decided to enter under my command.”

Muyoung spoke naturally.

Azul’s eyes turned really big.

His entire body trembled.

Something impossible had occurred right in front of him.

 “This…Crazy…”

 “Let’s move on with the next thing. You said that you made ‘trades’, and I’m ready to respond to that ‘trade’.”

Muyoung looked at Bae Sungmin.

And then Bae Sungmin released his magic power.

Azul became free but he couldn’t move at all.

He felt fear the moment he made eye contact with Enroth.

 ‘It clearly looks like he’s afraid of Enroth.’

Azul was also a demon king. There was no way he would escape even if Shar-Shazar invaded. But the story changed if it was Enroth we were talking about.

In the first place, Azul had escaped knowing that Enroth was the one behind Shar-Shazar.

Azul closed his eyes and said.

 “Trade? I will listen to one of your wishes if you let me out of this crazy place. But, it has to be something that is doable.”

 “Then it gets simple.”

Muyoung got in front of Azul. He then grabbed Azul’s neck and looked at him fixedly.

 “Dantalian, where is he?”

Azul’s expression changed once again.

He was trembling in fear but it looked like he was quite bewildered.

He wouldn’t know why Muyoung was looking for Dantalian so that was an obvious reaction.

 “Why are you looking for Dantalian? No, even if I know the reason I don’t know where he is. Tens of years have pa.s.sed already since I got away from him. There’s no way I could know the whereabouts of that tedious b.a.s.t.a.r.d, right?”

 ‘A lie.’

Muyoung laughed inwardly.

Azul was lying.

He was speaking quite calmly but he couldn’t trick Muyoung.

 ‘But it seems like there’s still a tinge of respect left in him.’

Azul was originally under the command of Dantalian.

Even if a lot of time has pa.s.sed since he got away from him he should have still wanted to hold some kind of respect for him.

 “Do you know how Enroth entered under my command?”

 “Don’t tell me. I don’t even want to know!”

Azul felt a really dangerous scent from Muyoung.

It wasn’t like this when he first met him but it felt like his nose would get paralyzed now.

He shouldn’t get close to people like this. The moment he does he will die.

Muyoung ignored Azul and opened his mouth.

 “Demon kings could also be turned into undead.”

 “…!”

Azul looked at Enroth once again.

Now that he looked at him properly he definitely didn’t seem normal.

Unnatural movements. For there to be a crazy b.a.s.t.a.r.d turning a demon king into an undead!

On top of that, that undead was Enroth.

 “Amon… Amon will get enraged. You… won’t be able to cope with that rage. No matter which demon G.o.d you choose to serve, no one will be able to protect you.”

Azul trembled. Even his teeth were trembling.

It seemed like Azul thought that Muyoung was a demon king like himself.

However.

 “I’m below no one. Also, I don’t fear Amon.”

Basically, Muyoung wasn’t a demon.

Even if he was one, he wasn’t even thinking of receiving help from someone to avoid danger.

Azul looked at Muyoung.

If he doesn’t have any masters or demon G.o.ds serving, then what is this guy?

He doesn’t fear the demon G.o.d of the 5th seat, the almighty Amon?

Does that mean that he became a demon G.o.d that’s on the same ground as him?

One certain thing is that he would end up speaking even if he doesn’t speak at all.

If even Enroth was turned into an undead, then there was no reason Muyoung wouldn’t be able to do it with him.

Muyoung grabbed Azul’s hair.

 “The reason I’m showing you the least bit of good will is because we have already made a ‘trade’ once. Azul, you are really useful you know? I realized that you were someone I could trust at least when we were doing a ‘trade’. That’s why… I hope you agree.”

It was the real seduction of the demons.

 ‘d.a.m.n it!’

Azul felt like he was falling in a swamp.

A really deep swamp that he wouldn’t be able to get out of!

Azul’s shoulders slumped.

Chapter 234: What are you going to give me (4)

It was a well illuminated city.

Elves, that were called to be the holiest of the races were present, and their number was comparable to great cities.

They numbered about 500 thousand.

There were stone statues of crows that were as tall as the sky everywhere.

But the most numerous one was a statue of a devil with the face of a goat.

That was an irony. Elves. They, that follow the will of the moon, were miles apart from ‘evilness’.

But they weren’t normal elves either.

Dark elves!

It was easy for them to fall in ‘evilness’ as they were born being surrounded in darkness.

And at this moment… The protector guarding this city where 500 thousand elves live was enjoying himself on the highest building while wearing the mask of a black goat.

 “Haa.”

 “Haaaa.”

There were dozens of beauties gathered inside the tub.

A feeble scent filled the tub and its surroundings. Those women had lost their rationality while being completely naked and were coveting over the masked man.

 “Our holiness.”

 “Ahhh!”

He was the only G.o.d of this city.

The almighty G.o.d that could have everything he desired!

The dark elves considered the goat masked man to be their master.

As soon as the man spread his hand the dark elves beauties whined and gathered.

Click!

The door opened.

Soldiers that were armed with things that had strong magic enchanted on it approached their master.

 “A huge number of invaders have infiltrated after having pierced our ‘magic’.”

The goat masked man turned his head.

 “Is it the orcs?”

Recently, the orcs in the surroundings were acting quite aggressively.

It was because an orc lord that received the call of a G.o.d appeared.

The G.o.d of orcs, the orc lord that possessed the qualifications of a fighter united the countless orc tribes and was devastating everything in its surroundings.

This place was about to get invaded a few times in the past but the orcs got stopped thanks to the almighty master wearing a mask of a goat and his army of hundreds of thousands strong warriors.

 “It’s not the orcs. Goblins, specters, undead, elves, dwarves, humans…it seemed like an a.s.sociation of some sort.”

The goat masked man stayed silent for a moment.

 “An a.s.sociation, a.s.sociation…”

It’s not that a.s.sociations didn’t exist at all.

When they got attacked by a dragon or were threatened by something they generally grouped up.

But specters and undead?

And humans on top of that.

 “They are charging to this place.”

One soldier spoke in a hurry.

The goat masked man wiped his chin and then plucked one of his nails.

Pluck!

Blood started to flow but the goat masked man handed over his nail to the soldiers as if it was nothing.

 “Hang my nail in the center of the ‘two mountains’. The specters and the undead won’t be able to pa.s.s then.”

 “Understood.”

 “Also capture their master and bring him to me. I’m interested in him.”

The goat masked man turned around.

And fell in pleasure once again.

 “Haaaaa!”

The beauties let out moans.

If you took into account that most of those beauties were the wives or daughters of the soldiers, then it was certainly a surprising thing.

But even so the warriors left the room quietly without a glimpse of hesitation.

This place was somewhere that received the permission of G.o.d.

The dark elf beauties were being blessed right now.

 “He should be playing an ‘act’ right now.”

Azul’s shoulders were about to touch the ground. He was speaking everything he knew while having given up of everything.

But of course, it looked like he was only delivering information and didn’t look like he would help Muyoung.

 “An act?”

Azul answered at Muyoung’s question.

 “I don’t know well either. As for what form he took and is acting as… But I’m certain that he’s not in the surroundings.”

Muyoung looked at Azul.

 ‘He’s not lying.’

It seemed like not even Azul knew the exact location.

However, if Azul’s words were true then there was a high probability Dantalian was disguised as something in their surroundings.

 “He is really mischievous, but his pranks are far from being normal. If he starts to act once, even he forgets about his own ident.i.ty.”

 “Do you mean that we have to kill that target for Dantalian to appear?”

 “That’s right. If the target dies then his act also ends. He takes off his skin and returns to his original appearance. However.”

Azul continued to speak.

 “He never makes an act of something simple. Also, you can’t just kill him either. You have to destroy his ‘role’ clearly to confirm who he is actually. He is the one that is the most free from the flesh even among devils.”

Muyoung closed his eyes for a moment.

Dantalian clearly wasn’t a normal devil. He felt like he knew why Dantalian was called as the ‘renegade’.

His specialty was imitating others, tricking them and changing bodies so it was understandable.

It meant that he had to dry out all the life in this place.

They say that only then was he going to be able to find Dantalian.

But this place, and especially in his surroundings, had a lot of living beings.

 ‘The two mounts. This is the temple of the dark elves.’

And this was also a memorable place in Muyoung’s memories.

It was because the race of the dark elves was one among many that joined the devil G.o.d army after the great cataclysm.

Devils planned to eliminate all the races other than them but there were still many races that allied with them even though they knew of that truth.

Victory for the devils was confirmed and they were expecting that at least their race would be preserved if they helped the devils.

Even though the devils hadn’t promised anything.

That was really a dumb and foolish thing to do.

It seemed like there were many cases that they justified themselves when they were driven to a corner.

This was an attribute that humans, elves and all the other races had.

 “Master, a strange energy rose in the mountains.”

Bae Sungmin stepped up.

It was because the magic flowing in the mountain had changed.

No, it was vague to say that it was magic power.

It was closer to holy power.

And a great one at that.

 “A holy relic…”

Holy relics were objects that contained the power to chase away the evil.

In other words, an object with the power of G.o.d in it.

So obviously, the undead and evil spirits couldn’t come out unaffected by it.

Grrrrrr!

Ahhhhhhh!

They were in agony. They acted like they were in pain even though there was no way they could feel pain.

The power of the Holy Relic was burning down their souls.

Bae Sungmin said.

 “It seems like someone doesn’t welcome us.”

Swoosh

Swoooosh

At that moment they felt the movement of many beings at the same time.

 ‘Dark elves.’

There were about twenty thousand, counting the ones below the mountains.

But Muyoung smiled bitterly. This was the shrine of the dark elves and as a result of that, a place where traitors grouped up with demon G.o.ds were gathered at.

It didn’t seem like a coincidence that Muyoung arrived at this place.

If Dantalian was the cause of all this, then why was he pretending to be something that wasn’t quite satisfactory?

Muyoung extended his hand.

Holy Relics were objects that contained a ‘special power’. Once you tracked the power flowing out of that object, then it was easy to disperse it.

No matter what anyone said, Muyoung possessed a half divinity. Even though it was only a half, that half was still the real deal.

An object imitating the power of a G.o.d couldn’t oppose against a real divinity.

Crush!

When Muyoung clenched his fist, the power of the Holy Relic disappeared along that sound.

At the same time, the dark elves that were hiding showed up and the undead and evil spirits weren’t in pain anymore.

 “Clean it up.”

Muyoung said briefly.

The goat masked man was looking beyond the horizon.

Flames were arising.

He could also check that his power got broken.

 “One and only G.o.d! Our troop has been exterminated.”

 “The power of the Holy Relic doesn’t work on them either.”

 “Show us the path.”

The knights leading the soldiers kneeled down. They leaned their heads on the floor and kissed the feet of the goat masked man.

And then, the goat masked man extended his hand and pointed at the sky.

 “The moon arises when the sun sets. We are going to use the darkness of the moon.”

Ain shivered.

 “How terrible.”

She was a high elf. The most blessed beings even among elves.

She was distances away from evil so she reacted quite sensitively at negative factors.

It could be said that she followed Muyoung but it was the same this time.

She trembled more and more the closer she got to the city of the dark elves.

 “What is terrible?”

Ain gritted her teeth at Muyoung’s question.

 “Their corruption, the power their curse has is terrible. I didn’t know this many elf could gather…”

Ain raised her head. The sky was getting darker the more the sun hid.

 “Elves represent the light of the moon but dark elves venerate the darkness when the moon is up. They are going to attack us with a greater strength when the moon rises.”

 “Then we have to make it so that the darkness doesn’t come.”

 “…is that something possible?”

They were pa.s.sing by this place anyways. They couldn’t increase their losses here for nothing.

Muyoung’s objective was finding Dantalian and asking a few questions to him.

Muyoung spread his wings and the bright star started to shine in the sky.

The Star of Purity!

The power that got strengthened one more level from the Absolute Star had coupled with Muyoung’s divinity and was shining even brighter than before.

And then all the darkness faded away.

The world was bright and not dark at all even though the sun had set and the moon was up.

The goat masked man looked at the sky.

 “He, he is a master of a star. And it’s not a normal one at that.”

He had never seen a star releasing light as bright as that.

The cards of the goat masked man were being stopped several times. This was the first time this had happened.

The goat masked man gathered the knights.

 “Prepare one hundred black goats. I will show you the real authority of a G.o.d.”

A ‘G.o.d of Death’ was summoned from the black goats.

A G.o.d of Death was literally a G.o.d of Death. It could kill a designated target.

A G.o.d of Death was someone that could kill beings that were already dead.

Its role was to split the soul, take away the life and perish it completely.

This method consumed a lot of divine power so even the man didn’t use it a lot.

He didn’t use this method either even when the orcs invaded several times and just fought instead.

 “Kill the master of the cursed things.”

The G.o.d of Death had the shape of a shadow.

When the goat masked man finished the ceremony, the surrounding ground started to shake.

Grahhhhhhh!

However, the G.o.d of Death started to feel agony.

It dropped its scythe and then started to fade away until it disappeared completely.

 “He’s someone even the G.o.d of Death can’t kill?”

He felt dumbfounded. The goat masked man could only let out a feigned laugh.

The only ones the G.o.d of Death couldn’t kill were beings that possessed a ‘divinity’.

Or transcendent beings that drove themselves to the extreme to obtain a power similar to a divinity.

In other words, the one that was approaching them was someone like that.

Muyoung finally arrived at the city.

No one could stop Muyoung.

All the cards got destroyed.

Not even the man that was worshipped as a G.o.d by five hundred thousand elves could stop Muyoung.

His miracles have been displayed several times through countless cases but this was the first time all of his cards got destroyed this miserably.

The goat masked man spoke bitterly on the building that reached the sky.

 “…just who the h.e.l.l is that man?”

Muyoung was also quite surprised.

Something was continuing to provoke Muyoung. It was trying to extort Muyoung’s soul from a non-visible place.

This was the first time he experienced that.

If Muyoung’s rank was a little bit lower, then he could have been in great danger.

 ‘This is the first time I’m facing a shaman with his skills.’

The opponent wasn’t a G.o.d and also didn’t have a divinity.

He was merely a skilled shaman that reached the peak on his own.

Someone that climbed to the utmost peak to the point that he was able to create a fake Holy Relic.

That kind of skilled shaman was leading the dark elves.

Muyoung thought that it was highly probable that shaman is Dantalian or there was no way that a shaman this skilled could appear out of nowhere.

Muyoung looked at the entrance of the Great City. There was nothing in it but instead had a strong barrier set up. It should be the last fort guarding the city.

 ‘It won’t be easy.’

Compared to the other things, the barrier protecting the Great City wasn’t a kind that could be removed in an instant.

He was an intelligent man.

It was because you needed at least three nights to remove this barrier no matter what kind of strong being came to destroy it.

But this barrier was also specifically designed for beings with a ‘rank’ to enter it easily.

 “Wait here.”

Removing the barrier took too much time.

 “I will follow you.”

Bae Sungmin followed Muyoung.

Muyoung didn’t stop him. Someone at the level of Bae Sungmin wouldn’t find it difficult to pa.s.s the barrier.

This barrier…was probably created with that purpose.

A tool to exterminate targets that entered the barrier like Muyoung with attacks swarming like bees.

Bzzt!

The scenery changed the moment they crossed the barrier.

The place was filled with tall buildings and huge stone statues. Also, completely armed dark elves were surrounding Muyoung and Bae Sungmin.

 “How immense for a mere greeting.”

But the dark elves couldn’t approach easily.

Maybe because they remembered the annihilation in the mountains.

Or because they were looking at the six pair of wings at Muyoung’s back.

But Muyoung didn’t even look at the dark elves. There was only one person Muyoung was aiming for.

The goat masked man looking down at them from the tallest building!

 “Take care of the trash.”

 “Yes.”

Bae Sungmin raised his staff.

Flock!

Muyoung spread his wings. He wouldn’t have been able to do this reckless challenge before he obtained a divinity.

But the current Muyoung had shed his skin several times.

He obtained power that was incomparable from the past and an unwavering mentality.

All the trials he faced until now, all the processes were to complete Muyoung’s soul, his plate.

There was nothing that was unnecessary.

Muyoung was being completed little by little through that necessary processes.

 ‘I am the boundary.’

Not a mortal nor immortal. Someone in the middle of that.

That’s why he could see a broader aspect than everyone else. That’s why he could take in all the changes.

Muyoung raised his head.

Woooooong!

He spread his wings.

The six pair of burning wings spread even more.

And…Muyoung jumped swiftly.

The goat masked man was standing there.

He could know the moment he saw him.

A faked divinity, faith, a chaotic being that had those things mixed.

 “Who are you? How can you deny the power of G.o.d!”

It was certainly an impressive disguise. No, an impressive act.

An enthusiastic performance that even made him forget himself.

But he couldn’t trick Muyoung’s eyes.

The first one was Muldudun. He got tricked by Dantalian and lost his body.

After that he saw a few evil deeds committed by Dantalian. Everyone tricked by him had lost everything.

But Muyoung was different.

 “Dantalian, stop acting.”

He recognized that the being inside the sh.e.l.l was Dantalian.

If it wasn’t him then Muyoung planned to exterminate all living beings in the surroundings to find him but fortunately it seemed like he wouldn’t need to do that.

 “What are you talking about! If you plan to make me confused you can give up as you are uninvited guests.”

Did words not work?

Aazul had said. That he would appear when they killed him.

That Dantalian would appear if he took off the mask of flesh!

Shiing.

Muyoung pulled out Anguish.

If words didn’t work, then he could only show him by actions.

Muyoung wasn’t that generous of a person.

He was someone cold and could wear a thick mask based on his needs.

That truth didn’t change even though he obtained the ability to ‘symphatize’ with others.

 “Give the Mace of G.o.d to the infiltrator.”

The goat masked man raised a dagger and stabbed his own neck.

Crush!

Blood flowed down like a fountain and that blood drew a magic circle in the floor.

That blood released divine power. It carried the same ‘rank’ as the Holy Relic and created a huge vibration in the surroundings.

 ‘Sacrificial magic.’

Muyoung recognized what kind of magic was the magic the goat masked man was using.

That’s right. Magic.

It was miles away from being a miracle.

He had merely squeezed out high purity magic and ‘pretended’ to contain ‘divine power’.

 “Who are you sending that prayer to?”

 “To the G.o.d of dark elves!”

 “Is that G.o.d Dantalian?”

Muyoung smirked.

Devils weren’t venerable beings. The name of G.o.d didn’t fit them as they didn’t flow in the ‘cycle’.

Everything in the world, all beings were inside that ‘cycle’.

Not being in that cycle meant that that being was out of joint with the world.

Followed by that, a crimson red spear came out of the magic circle.

 “There’s nothing this spear can’t pierce. It will pierce anyone even if the opponent is a G.o.d.”

 “Impressive.”

Muyoung let out a simple exclamation.

The completion of the Holy Relic was quite good although it was created in a hurry. It seemed like it could at least become a trump card.

At the same time, horns sprouted from Muyoung’s forehead.

Will he be able to stab Muyoung even in the slowed world?

It seemed like the goat masked man got a bit bewildered at Muyoung’s sudden movement.

But Muyoung’s sword reached his forehead even before he could react.

Slash!

It was a clean cut.

The forehead split open, and brain sputtered.

Close combat was the worst combination for a shaman. Not being able to get rid of Muyoung before he arrived at this place meant the same as defeat.

A determined defeat.

 ‘Impressive.’

But it seems like the words of the man weren’t wrong either. A spear had stabbed Muyoung’s chest albeit it missed its objective.

The goat masked man wasn’t the one to stab Muyoung directly.

 ‘s.p.a.ce leap.’

The spear had that magic engraved in it.

It had leaped automatically aiming for Muyoung’s spear but unfortunately the one that had executed the spell died before it reached Muyoung’s heart.

In addition, Muyoung’s body after having obtained the skin of the immortal was further strengthened. The spear only pierced half of his flesh and stopped.

Muyoung wouldn’t have died even if the man was alive and kicking.

But it was plentily threatening.

Now, if only Dantalian comes out…

Thud!

The corpse of the man fell to the ground.

Muyoung’s expression hardened.

 ‘He’s not Dantalian?’

There were no changes.

If Aazul’s words were true, a change should have already happened the moment the body became a corpse. 

Muyoung clearly felt the aura of a devil behind the goat mask. A scent so faint n.o.body would have been able to recognize if it wasn’t for Muyoung.

But it wasn’t the man. Then, just who?

Fshhhhh.

The corpse of the goat masked man turned to dust and got blown off.

After seeing that Muyoung could realize something.

 ‘No, it just moved.’

Muyoung nodded.

The soul had moved to another body the moment the body died.

But it couldn’t be far away from this place.

Muyoung looked below the tower.

Bae Sungmin had summoned his creatures and was contending with the dark elves.

He must be one of those dark elves.

But his scent got mixed. It got mixed with countless living beings so not even Muyoung was able to distinguish it.

Tch!

Muyoung could only click his tongue.

His objective was to take care of things the fastest possible.

And so Muyoung stroked his ring.

Should he kill everyone?

There was no need to do something that bothersome.

Among the barriers Muyoung possessed, he had one that maximized one’s nature.

Reality marble, wilderness!

 ‘Wilderness.’

He activated the reality marble in a huge scale.

He had overlapped another barrier on top of this huge city.

This was an accomplishment no one other than Muyoung would have been able to achieve easily.

Soon, all the big buildings disappeared, and the surroundings became a ruin.

Some became small, some became big, others got brighter and some of them even turned into stars.

But there was one among them that particularly caught your attention.

A black goat walking on two feet!

He was checking his surroundings as if he was bewildered.

As if he didn’t know that he would get exposed.

At the same time, the fight also came to an end.

They were bewildered at the changes that occurred to each other and were checking their surroundings.

But the black goat was the most eyecatching among them.

 “That is the appearance of the true ‘G.o.d’ you served.”

Muyoung approached Dantalian with his wings spread.

 “The G.o.d…”

 “That is ‘G.o.d’s’ appearance?”

The dark elves were dumbfounded.

It was expressed as a black goat but actually that was a ‘stranger’ creature.

It had three eyes, two mouths and half of its body was of a woman and the other half belonged to a man.

How could you not call that as strange?

And then the black goat, Dantalian, looked at Muyoung.

 “So there was this method.”

He showed interest.

A mid toned voice.

It seemed like not even he was expecting it.

Well, who could have thought that someone would be able to find a devil when he decided to hide himself?

It was possible because it was Muyoung. Others wouldn’t have been able to find Dantalian’s original appearance even after activating ‘Wilderness’.

Dantalian said.

 “You are… a really funny being. I feel like I saw your ‘divinity’ from somewhere, but it also has something I don’t know. I’m sure that one half belongs to the degenerate angel Lucifer but what is the other half?”

As expected of the liar, he had eyes that could see through things.

No one had ever seen through the power of Luciferre until now.

He wasn’t a demon G.o.d for nothing. Muyoung could only get nervous.

He had grasped half of Muyoung just by looking at him so if he relaxed then he would befall after getting everything grasped.

He would lose his body and even his soul.

 “Do you want to know what it is?”

 “Not so much.”

He didn’t get baited easily.

Dantalian didn’t have the need to beg Muyoung for the truth.

It was because he was able to find what he wished with lies, that he did the best.

Muyoung wasn’t planning to continue the conversation with him.

He would get what he wants quickly before he displays his skills at a prolonged time.

If he rejected, then he would take it by force.

The demon G.o.d of lies. If he was alone then Muyoung didn’t have zero probabilities to win.

Muyoung extended Anguish and opened his mouth.

 “Hand over all the ‘conditions’ you know to me.”

Conditions.

The extinction condition of the demon G.o.ds. The necessary information to kill them!

What Muyoung knew was only the minimum. In the first place, he didn’t even partic.i.p.ate in the war between demon G.o.ds in his past life.

It was because the only thing Muyoung did was a.s.sa.s.sinated humans.

Dantalian looked at Muyoung with his three eyes. He wasn’t displeased. He rather felt interested in Muyoung.

 “Then, what are you going to give me?”
