Kwaaaaah!
“Hey, are these guys crazy?”
Looking at the demons pouring down on him, the mad tyrant could not believe what was happening.
The demon world, which had not only lost its monarch but also had no nobles left, was truly a world in ruins.
The demons that survived until now were all just filthy bastards.
They were nothing more than useless, worthless creatures who should have been toiled as slaves their entire lives and even considered death an honor.
And now those lowly, insignificant people dared to rebel against him.
No, he was running towards me, drooling, as if he was going to eat me.
The mad tyrant became very angry and drew out blue flames.
“To whom do these uncivilized men dare to show their teeth!”
Hurrruk!
Holy fire.
The flame of life that always burns within the apostles who serve Itarim, the god of that distant universe.
The blue flames spread widely across the Colosseum, engulfing the demons that rushed in from all directions.
“Kuaaaak… … !”
In that blue flame, the demons began to burn to death helplessly, like moths flying to a light.
However, the demons, who had already gone mad, continued to attack the mad tyrant, using the corpses as shields, regardless of who died in front of them.
“Just one bite!”
“Just one bite!”
“You can become strong just by taking one bite!”
“Kuaaaah!”
Demons.
This place was a real hell.
“These, these crazy guys are really… … .”
The mad tyrant was shocked.
Are these horrible things really the slaves who have been quietly ruling over them until now?
As an apostle of Itarim, he had a mission to rule and conquer this world.
But what on earth is this?
If it goes on like this… … .
‘Don’t I feel like I’ve become prey?’
A feeling of humiliation welled up in me.
He couldn’t possibly accept that what he was feeling right now was ‘fear’.
“Kuaaaaah! I’ll kill you all! Burn you all and become my fuel!”
Kuwaaaaaang!
Kkaaaak… … !
A firework that burns the entire world with immortality.
Demons pouring down endlessly above him, covering him with blue flames.
And the corpses of demons turned to ash and scattered in all directions.
In the center of this, the mad tyrant burst into a meaningful frenzy and shouted.
“Hahaha! My strength is rising again! In exchange for the loss of my precious slaves, my sacred fire will burn forever!”
Then his gaze moved to find Suho, who had created this situation.
Even though there was some damage, the demon world wasn’t just here anyway.
If you can just replenish your strength, all you have to do is find and dominate the fragments of another demon realm floating through the dimensional rift!
But there was one thing he overlooked.
While he was killing countless demons and replenishing his depleted strength.
The fact that the souls of the dead demons are being sucked into one place.
“Hey, wait a minute… … !”
The eyes of the mad tyrant who witnessed the scene from afar grew wide.
“… … Ha. This is it.”
At the end, Suho was holding up Volcan’s horn with a satisfied smile.
Swaaaaaaah!
[Volcan’s horn devours the devil’s soul.] [Volcan’s horn devours the devil’s soul.] [Volcan’s horn devours the devil’s soul.] [Volcan’s horn devours the devil’s soul… … .]
… … .
Volkan’s horn, which was extremely hungry, was greedily devouring the souls of the demons killed by the mad tyrant.
“Okay, eat as much as you want. Until you burst from hunger.”
Swaaaaaaah!
[Predatory Demon Soul: 83->97->113->… … .]
It feels like I’ve hit a jackpot.
The count of devoured souls was constantly increasing.
And then eventually.
Tiring!
[Volcan’s horn feels full.]
Volcan’s stomach, which seemed to have no end, finally became full.
[Item: Volcan’s Horn]
Difficulty to acquire: ??
Type: Sword
Attack power +40
A sword made from the horn of the greedy demon Volkan.
Empowered by Volcan, dealing more damage.
-Effect ‘Destroyer’: Increases physical damage by [300%].
-Effect ‘Demon Predator’: The more demon souls you devour, the stronger Volkan’s power becomes.
[Predatory Demon Soul: Saturation]
It was a success.
Physical damage increased by 300 percent.
In the end, Suho managed to grow Volcan’s horn to its maximum size.
[Oh my god. This is how you use it?]
Essil couldn’t help but be amazed.
While the Gwanghyeol Tyrant was recharging his weakened power, Suho took full advantage of it and greatly maximized his attack power.
But that wasn’t the end of what Suho was aiming for.
“Okay, are you satisfied?”
Suho chuckled and raised Volkan’s horn.
“Then give it to me, Volkan.”
As if to answer that question.
Tiring.
A message has arrived.
[You have completed the ‘Emergency Quest: Volkan’s Greed’.] [Your completion reward has arrived.] [Would you like to check your reward?] (Y/N)
I already knew what the reward was.
Suho grinned and extended his hand.
Phew!
Then a second Volcan horn appeared in his hand.
[Item: Volcan’s Horn-2]
Difficulty to acquire: ??
Type: Sword
Attack power +40
A sword made from the horn of the greedy demon Volkan.
Empowered by Volcan, dealing more damage.
-Effect ‘Destroyer’: Increases physical damage by [300%].
Is it because Volcan is the only one who feels full?
Surprisingly, the amplification power of the second Volcan’s horn was also filled to 300 percent.
Suho, who confirmed that fact, smiled broadly and lifted the two Volcan horns in both hands instead of the Rakan fangs he was holding.
“Then we won’t need Rakan’s Fangs anymore? Should we sell them and add them to the guild’s treasury?”
Wouldn’t it be better for balance when using two identical swords in dual wielding?
However, there was someone who was frightened by those words… … .
[The King of Beasts, the Fang Lord, wakes up with a start.] [The King of Beasts, the Fang Lord, asks to talk, saying he has a better idea.] [The King of Beasts, the Fang Lord, stamps his foot, telling you not to pretend you didn’t hear him.]
However, Suho was already paying no attention to Rakan’s message and was rushing straight towards the mad tyrant at incredible speed.
Wheaaa …
“… … !”
Seeing the eyes of the bloodthirsty tyrant at the end grow wide, Suho swung his sword without hesitation.
“Thank you. Thanks to you, I was able to reduce my workload.”
[Use ‘Skill: Body Technique’.] [Use ‘Skill: Storm Slash’… … .]
Kuwaang!
“Kwaaak… … !”
A tremendous amount of damage of a different level than before was inflicted on the body of the mad blood tyrant.
Even the blue flames that were blazing from his body were torn into hundreds and thousands of pieces by the guardian’s twin swords.
“W, that’s ridiculous… … . Could it be that I would be against these guys… … .”
The flames that had been blazing ominously all along began to die down, and a desolate voice came out of his mouth.
And finally.
“Oh, Itarim… … .”
thud.
[Defeat the Bloodthirsty Tyrant.] [Level up!] [Level up!]
The demons who were still alive were shocked by the death of the mad tyrant.
He was so shocked that even the madness that had rushed to eat him just a moment ago seemed pale in comparison.
“… … Lord, are you dead?”
“That tyrant king?”
“Are you really going to die like this?”
I couldn’t believe it.
It was truly shocking and terrifying.
The cruel king who had enslaved them for so long was destroyed right before their eyes.
Without even leaving a body behind.
Even the guards who had practically ruled over the tyrant were all burned to death.
So now… … .
‘What happens to us?’
“… … .”
They were so accustomed to slave life that they could not even bring themselves to say those words.
That was when.
“Essil.”
In that silent atmosphere, Suho called Eshil.
“Now it’s your turn to step forward.”
[… … .]
As far as Suho could see, there was only one way to clean up this messy situation that had resulted in the loss of a ruler.
‘I can’t keep pretending to be Volkan’s son.’
The demon world that we have seen so far has been a thoroughly class society.
Strong self-esteem.
A world where stronger demons prey on weaker ones and rule over them.
But the moment the demon lords and demon nobles that ruled this land disappeared, the entire system fell apart.
Why else would the apostles of Itarim appear and rule this land, enslaving its inhabitants?
This was all because there were no ‘pure-blooded’ people to rule them.
“So come out. From now on, you have to rule here.”
Otherwise, there was no telling when the Itarim Apostle might suddenly appear and take over this place.
[okay.]
Swaaaah.
At Suho’s words, Essil finally appeared from Volkan’s horn.
Thump.
“… … !”
At Essil’s sudden appearance, all the demons’ eyes were focused on her.
It had to be that way.
Because the moment I saw Essil, I instinctively realized it.
All the previous misconceptions about Suho being a demon noble or the hidden son of Volkan were blown away in an instant.
The aura I feel from Eshil is truly pure-blooded!
The presence of the demon nobles was clearly felt.
“Ear, noble… … .”
“He is a true nobleman… … .”
Perhaps, if it weren’t for the current situation, I wouldn’t have reacted like this.
Because they were demons who even attacked and tried to eat the scary, bloodthirsty tyrant.
But now it was different.
“Kneel down.”
At the single command that came out of Essil’s mouth, they had no choice but to kneel before him and bow down obediently.
“I am Essil, the eldest daughter of the Radir family. I am the only demon noble left in this world.”
Eshil slowly looked back at them with their heads bowed with an arrogant gaze.
Long ago, in a time when the demon world was prosperous.
The true purpose of this Colosseum was for this very moment.
A duel between demon nobles to test their honor.
At the end of the duel and the moment the ranking was determined, the winner would always declare his rights like this.
Essil, in keeping with her time-honored tradition, proudly presented her presence to the demons here.
“I declare. From now on, this land becomes the territory of the Ladir family.”
Waaaaaaaah-!
At that moment, a magnificent cheer began to burst out from everyone’s mouths.
It was a sound of a different order from the malicious cries that had accompanied the executions at the Colosseum.
“……and.”
But Essil’s proclamation was not over yet.
“The last remaining demon noble, Essil Ladir, commands.”
Suddenly, Eshil’s gaze glanced at Suho next to him.
“… … ?”
“Our demon world will soon enter into an all-out war with the god of the outer universe, Itarim. In order not to be controlled by a maniacal tyrant like him again… … .”
As the only demon noble, Essil was virtually the only one qualified to become a demon lord.
Since they were demons who knew that fact, they burned the magic energy in their entire bodies at Essil’s words.
“We must fight.”
Ooooooooo!
