The King of the Battlefield Chapter 244: Demon Of The Ash Gray 2

Translator: Subak

Editor:

The numbers were about right.

The forces Lerajie had numbered a million and a half.

And Gremory's and Muyoung's forces combined numbered about that much.

But the victory was slowly tilting to one side.

The sky lord was stubbornly trying to eat up Lerajie. It was at a level that had almost no intelligence but it seemed like it could read the hostility towards him.

And Lerajie was stopping that sky lord with strength.

The G.o.d of war indeed. It seemed like he didn't obtain that t.i.tle in a slovenly way.

On the other hand, Muyoung and Gremory were comparatively free. In the case of Gremory her magic related to defenses was a wonder even though she wasn't a battle specialized demon.

'For her to be able to cast a shield this big to all of the allies.'

Even Muyoung got impressed by her so there was nothing more to say.

It didn't even budge at normal attacks and could block about two attacks coming from high ranked demons.

The damages the allies suffered got reduced drastically with that.

On top of that Gremory wasn't at her peak state. If you took into account that she used a vast amount of magic power to maintain the door of the fissure, then she was surely going to be of great help in future battles.

The situation of the battle was clearly good.

Muyoung was ruling the battlefield.

But a part of his mind was looking at another place.

'There is another one.'

A presence that was hard to feel if it wasn't Muyoung.

Someone that reached the peak in stealth was nearby. Muyoung barely managed to grasp his presence thanks to his senses having been broadened as he obtained a half divinity.

One guy.

It was impossible to shake off Muyoung in regards to hiding.

'There is one more demon G.o.d… who is it?'

Muyoung was sure of it.

But putting aside that there was one person, everything else was a mystery.

If he is an enemy… if another demon G.o.d joined in the battle then they would surely lose. Not even the great Muyoung could do anything. He still wasn't able to face two demon G.o.ds at the same time.

On top of that, there was the probability that the demon G.o.d would have his followers, other demon kings, and subordinates not too far away.

They couldn't read the situation at all.

Muyoung continued to keep watch.

Because Muyoung would have to respond if he moved too.

But the demon G.o.d from the outside was just observing the battlefield from far away.

'What is he aiming for?'

He's not from the opposition party.

If not, there was no reason to not help in this situation.

And a demon that wasn't from the opposition party only belonged to the approval party.

'The approval party that wanted to exterminate everything besides the demon race. And there are also some factions among them.'

The information inside Dantalian's memories.

There were some related to demon G.o.ds among them and it was that the approval party was also divided into three factions.

The moderate party that wanted to preserve some races to serve as slaves of the demon race.

The radical party that said that only the demon race was justice.

The middle party that didn't care what others said.

The certain thing is that he belonged to one of those three factions.

'He's not from the radical party.'

If he was, then he would have already raised his sword.

“This d.a.m.ned microbe! Do you think you can defeat an almighty G.o.d!”

Boom! Boom! Booooom!

Lerajie threw some punches.

The sky lord staggered with some huge explosions.

'There is no other monster.'

Muyoung felt awestruck. The sky lord should have been created to stop beings with divinity but Lerajie was pushing it back purely with strength.

A powerful monster!

Perhaps he isn't the demon G.o.d of war but the demon G.o.d of strength?

Muyoung hoped that the two of them would suffer damages but it seemed like Lerajie still had the upper hand.

Muyoung considered clearing up the surroundings and attack Lerajie but he couldn't move freely due to his concern regarding the third party.

'I should find out his intentions. Whether he simply plans to watch or not.'

Floock!

Muyoung spread his wings.

Thousands of feathers poured from the four pairs of wings at the same time.

The objective was the air!

He threw thousands of feathers into the empty s.p.a.ce. It was because not even Muyoung knew the exact of the enemy because of its stealth.

If there was a change, Muyoung would be able to notice.

And as expected, a change occurred thanks to the wide-area feather attack.

Flop!

One feather fell to the ground as if it got stopped by a wall.

“Kill him! Kill that ash!”

The demon kings under Lerajie weren't fools either.

For them, Muyoung was an eyesore for them.

Muyoung was getting focus attacked.

Swoook!

However, Muyoung's interest was only on the other side.

In the reaction, the guy will show when he threw his feathers.

Muyoung walked towards the third party demon G.o.d that was hiding.

The demon race couldn't even slow down Muyoung. The heads of the demons blocking his path got cut off naturally as if they weren't there to begin with.

There was no way normal demons would be able to stop Muyoung completely.

After walking for some time.

“Who are you and why are you spying on me?”

In the empty air.

But there was one feather that had fallen in front of him.

Swooooooosh.

After some time-s.p.a.ce distorted and then disappeared.

Now Muyoung wasn't even able to feel a small presence.

'He disappeared in front of my eyes?'

That wasn't magic or sorcery.

But the adversary had moved from s.p.a.ce in a transparent state.

While having Muyoung right in front of him.

There was only one kind of power that enabled that.

'Authority!'

Authority. A power only beings with divinity can have.

It was understandable to have missed that demon in front of his eyes if he had an authority related to a movement technique.

And Muyoung found someone with that technique in Dantalian's memories.

'This kind of stealth technique and authority… there is only Paimon.'

The one that delves into secrets. The secret prier.

It was him.

And he was the one prying on Muyoung.

Not this battlefield, Lerajie or the sky lord. Muyoung

The fortunate thing is that Muyoung hasn't used the 'power of death' yet and that the book of miracles, 'Als Nova', hasn't been found out yet.

Muyoung didn't know why he had come to see him but that they weren't good news.

Information was the strongest weapon Muyoung possessed.

That they didn't know Muyoung but Muyoung did know them.

But if they start to get aware of Muyoung then his weapon also starts to lose its sharpness.

That's why he tried to take care of the demon G.o.ds the fastest possible.

'I should end this war first.'

It's not that he didn't gain anything.

He got to know that the one observing him was Paimon.

Paimon was of the middle party, of the minority group.

He was famous among demon G.o.ds for being hard to read.

It was still too early to think pessimistically.

But he needed to end this war the fastest possible if he wanted to set up a new plan.

“Demon King of the Ash Gray, you foolish b.a.s.t.a.r.d. You entered your grave on your own! Don't even think of returning alive!”

Two demon kings under the command of Lerajie approached him.

The surroundings were filled with enemy demons.

About a thousand of them.

It seemed like he entered too deeply in enemy camps just to find Paimon.

Muyoung clicked his tongue and said.

“I choose the place I will die.”

Bzzzzz!

Anguish snickered.

And Muyoung agreed.

At least, he wasn't someone that would die at this place.

“Impressive.”

Paimon, that was looking at the entire battlefield with his mind from the dark bas.e.m.e.nt of the castle, let out a remark of exclamation.

'I never thought that he could see through my authority. It seems like he has something more special than the eyes of the dragon and the eyes of the wise.'

Something that could see through an authority was another authority.

Paimon's authority was so secretive that it was hard to even find out his existence.

He recognized him and even grasped the exact location.

Paimon could look at every part of the world with his mind.

He was also able to look at the other part of the world in detail.

Wasn't that the reason he got the t.i.tle of 'the one that digs into secrets'?

'He is at the center of all of these changes. I have never seen an existence that is that ominous excluding Solomon.'

Where did he pop out from?

It was impossible that someone like that just appeared out of nowhere. There is always a reason for all phenomenons.

His appearance would be greatly related to something big.

'He has moved the time of the world. That technique certainly belongs to the King Slayer.'

King Slayer!

Paimon has already grasped that he was at the underworld and also knew that the King Slayer was someone related to 'Solomon'.

'King Slayer is one of the background owners that Solomon planted. If so, there is a high probability that ash-gray existence is also related to Solomon.'

Paimon started to put the pieces of the puzzle together.

It was understandable if he was related to Solomon.

Solomon. A being that has a hostile relationship with the 72 demon G.o.ds.

He would want to lessen the number of demon G.o.ds with the help of the opposition party.

'Solomon, just what are you planning?'

Paimon only dug into secrets, he couldn't leak them to others.

The matters that could change the world should be only known by him.

That was the condition and restriction Paimon had.

'I will delve into that secret, devil G.o.d.'

Not a demon G.o.d but a devil G.o.d.

Paimon called Solomon that way.

Then, Paimons' consciousness split with his body. After that, he moved his consciousness quickly and reached a place.

A huge active volcano.

There was someone at that place covered with lava.

An old man with hair and a beard so white it seemed like he had transcended the world.

Lava started to clear up in the area he pa.s.sed by. The place he existed at emanated a despair feeling as if it was another world.

The old man looked at Paimon but then turned his head again. As if he knew that Paimon wasn't able to tell anything because of his own restriction.

Graaaaaagh!

After a while, a huge scream rang inside the huge volcano.

It had the power to shake the entire consciousness of Paimon.

A huge existence that had the shape of a dragon.

Diablo!

Diablo wasn't able to move at all as if he was being restrained by something.

The old man just looked at him.

'Solomon.'

Solomon!

That old man was Solomon.

He was at the underworld.

Along with Diablo.

Kuaaaaagh!

The sky lord finally fell. It didn't die but lost all its strength.

Lerajie, that had faced the sky lord, wasn't well off either.

“Did you think that you would be able to stop me, Lerajie, just with this?”

There were several holes in Lerajie's body. He hadn't been able to regenerate all the parts that got eaten by the sky lord.

It meant that his magic power was almost depleted.

His huge force of a million and a half got reduced to a hundred thousand.

On the other hand, Gremory's and Muyoung's forces still surpa.s.sed a million.

An overwhelming victory!

Muyoung had also spent most of his strength but he wasn't planning on defeating Lerajie on a 1:1.

Instead, Muyoung spoke first.

“Didn't your 'eyes' tell you? That your probabilities to win have become thin.”

Lerajie must also know it.

The longer his battle with the sky lord became, the probabilities of victory of Lerajie became lower.

But he wasn't able to suppress the sky lord quickly.

The result of that was his current state.

Grind!

Lerajie gritted his teeth.

And looked at Gremory that was behind Muyoung.

“Gremory! If you possess a divinity just like me then stand in front of me with your head high. Don't make us lose our honor with acts like these!”

He wasn't really wrong.

Actually, this wasn't the place for a demon king to step out.

Originally, the demon G.o.d Gremory was the one that had to step out and not Muyoung. Muyoung was a demon king under her command so that must be quite impertinent.

But Gremory didn't answer and instead looked at Muyoung.

“The protagonist of this war isn't me, unfortunately, Lerajie.”

Gremory was wise.

She let the others know who the merits of this victory belonged to.

It meant that she handed Muyoung all the authority.

And also quieted all the fuss that could be between the allied demon kings.

Lerajie raised his voice even more.

“You put a mere demon king at the level of G.o.ds? You…how can you call yourself as one of the 72 demons!”

“Struggling for nothing.”

Muyoung took out a step forward.

Tacan, Bae Sungmin and the other demons fell back.

And started to make some s.p.a.ce only for Muyoung and Lerajie.

Lerajie opened his eyes widely and looked at Muyoung.

“How unsightly Lerajie. You have lost. Humbly accept that.”

“I haven't lost until I died. And that's not something a mere demon king should speak about.”

Muyoung shrugged his shoulders.

A mere demon king… That was right.

Even Muyoung wasn't planning on getting satisfied with the seat of a demon king.

“Are you scared of me?”

“Scared? Scared? Kwahaha! How funny.”

Lerajie laughed at him.

And Muyoung also grinned.

The Lerajie, in the beginning, was hard for Muyoung to beat in a frontal confrontation.

But it was possible to do it now with a high probability as he had lost about 90 percent of his power due to the battle with the sky lord. With 70%.

Lerajie should also know that but he wouldn't like to admit it.

Muyoung threw a bait.

“Defeat me then. If you defeat me I will let you get out of this battlefield.”

Lerajie stopped laughing.

Actually, Muyoung wasn't the problem here. 주변의 100만대군. 그리고 그레모리가 견디고 있는

The army of a million demons surrounding them. If Gremory was standing still, Lerajie wouldn't be able to get out of this place with a mere army of a hundred thousand as he has spent a lot of strength.

But if he defeats Muyoung…

“With what right are you saying that?”

“My warriors obey my rods and it seems like Gremory also agrees to this.”

Lerajie looked at Gremory and she nodded with a worried look.

Right now, the one that had all the authority in this battlefield was Muyoung.

But this condition was too favorable for Lerajie. That's why Muyoung gave another condition.

“But instead, if I win I will get your 'divinity.”

Muyoung had opened his eyes at one authority after absorbing Luciferre completely.

That is authority devourer!

Muyoung had killed Pegasus and obtained one of his authorities '7 lives'.

But the authority devourer was at random and that's why Muyoung placed a condition.

One of the authorities Lerajie had, divinity!

That was one of the most brute forces that could move a mountain with strength.

He wanted to select the authority and obtain that but only, he needed the agreement of the other party for that.

Lerajie had no reason to think about it.

Defeating Muyoung was the only way to get out alive in this situation anyways,

“Don't think that what I showed you is everything.”

“Can I see that as having accepted the condition?”

“That's right! Foolish b.a.s.t.a.r.d. I will let you know why I'm the demon G.o.d of war.”

Lerajie took out his bow but didn't nock the bowstring. Instead, the bow started to change in shape.

The bow changed into an armor that had a red dragon engraved in it and dressed up Lerajie.

Dragon hunter.

That merit has revealed its worth.

“The blood of hundreds of dragons strengthens me. You aren't able to beat me.”

Lerajie smiled.

And then Muyoung placed his hand on his chest.

Click. Click click.

Muyoung unlocked the lock that was engraved in his chest.

Swaaaaah!

Soon, a huge spear made of light appeared in the air.

The spear of Gabriel!

When all the divine power got gathered into his spear, Muyoung's grey wings started to get dyed in black.

Luciferre's power and Gabriel's power got separated precisely.

After that Muyoung warmed up lightly and said.

“I will also show you my true skills.”
