## Chapter 1327 – Demon
“This armor can be considered an auxiliary device to suppress transcendent power. As I said, I have a body that cannot handle transcendence on its own. If I were to use power after descending from the throne…”
Peleiser, enveloped in sleek, silver armor, raised his hand. His gaze was fixed on it. What was he seeing?
“My body would slowly collapse.”
“What? That’s what it was?”
His body would collapse.
Well.
Was it inevitable?
“You’re being consumed by power you can’t handle, causing your body to collapse. Peleiser, is that what state you were in?”
Even the wicked dictator Hitler couldn’t handle the German army. He lacked military skills and knowledge. As a result, the mighty German army collapsed, along with the Nazis.
He wasn’t some superhuman.
If Hitler had been a superhuman, he would have had excellent military skills. Of course, if he had been a superhuman, the Nazis wouldn’t have failed. Anyway, Hitler died and returned to the earth, becoming dirt. The fool who mistook himself for a superhuman ended his life as dirt.
The same goes for the Demon King Peleiser.
Power he couldn’t handle caused his body to collapse.
This was why he couldn’t call himself a transcendent. He had tremendous power, but he couldn’t handle it.
“Yes, that was the state I was in. However, I still sought greater power.”
“Why?”
“Because I believed that if I did, I could eventually become a transcendent.”
Peleiser, crushed by power he couldn’t handle…
Believed that gaining even greater power would eventually allow him to control his own power.
“But power alone doesn’t make one capable of handling transcendence. Thanks to that, my body began to collapse at an even faster rate.”
Ha.
All I could do was laugh.
I felt like bursting into laughter because it was so ridiculous.
He wasn’t Demon King Peleiser, but…
Comedian Peleiser.
“Hahahaha! What a foolish delusion! Daring to pursue greater power without even mastering your own! Your collapse is entirely self-inflicted, Demon King!”
As a result of his misjudgment, he was now confined to that bizarre reclining chair…! The end of a fool who dreamed of transcendence without qualification!
A very big lesson!
Of course, it’s a useless lesson for this Superhuman Cheonma Kim Kat!
“Kuhahahaha! That’s absolutely right! But, Hero! Do you know this!”
“Know what?”
“This armor is a tool that suppresses my overflowing power.”
“You’re saying it prevents your body from collapsing?”
So, he’s saying he’s invincible as long as he wears that armor?
Of course, there’s no such convenient tool in this world.
The Absolute Steel Beastman Doraemon, who descended into the real world with inhuman future tools…
Only exists in fiction.
“Hardly. If that were possible, I wouldn’t have hesitated.”
I nodded.
“It only postpones the current collapse to the future.”
“I think I understand what you mean.”
He’s putting off the current collapse. Paying off borrowed money with borrowed money. If he fights wearing that, his remaining lifespan will surely be depleted rapidly from the end.
In other words, this was his last resort.
A weapon of final battle that consumes his own life force.
“Thanks for the kind explanation, Demon King.”
“Be grateful, Hero.”
From our conversation, I realized that the original Peleiser seemed to have a rather cheerful side. A charismatic king, one might say. That’s probably why he was able to lead the expedition.
But it couldn’t be denied that he had grown old and foolish.
“But why are you explaining this to me?”
“I’m not just explaining it to you.”
It was something he wanted Risha to hear as well.
“This is a story I wanted my daughter to hear.”
“Well, well.”
The foolish old man was telling nonsense to his daughter.
Anyway, Risha had been hiding her presence since earlier. She must have used the technique she showed me before going up to the fortress. Risha told me to rest assured.
I trust Risha’s abilities.
Even if I don’t protect her, she’s capable of taking care of herself. That’s enough.
“But where did my daughter go?”
“What the hell, this guy.”
I was dumbfounded by Peleiser’s sudden frantic look around. Well, it’s natural that he can’t find her if I can’t either… But whatever. It doesn’t matter.
“I’m sure she’s listening somewhere. My daughter needs to know what kind of life I’ve lived and what I’ve pursued. Listening to it is the duty of Risha, the princess of the Demon Realm and my daughter.”
“Don’t impose strange duties on my Risha, you has-been.”
“My Risha…”
For a moment, he trailed off.
Come to think of it, he seems to love his daughter quite a bit, but Risha is mine. Body and soul. Mind and spirit. Love too. All of it is mine.
“She’s my Risha. My Risha alone. Risha’s body and soul. Mind and spirit. Love too. All of it is mine, Demon King.”
“…To you.”
His voice lowered.
“You have a knack for provoking me… You’re too frivolous for a hero. You lack weight. Do you lack experience?”
“If we’re talking about that, you’re pretty frivolous for clinging to power and ending up a failure, you bastard.”
“Really.”
“What.”
“You have a unique personality.”
“Don’t give me that crap, you massacre maniac. If we’re talking about unique, you’re the most unique. From now on, you’re not Demon King Peleiser, but Madman Peleiser. Or Comedian Peleiser.”
“…”
He shut his mouth at my words.
I couldn’t see his face because of the helmet.
“Hoo.”
A sigh escaped from the gap in the helmet.
“I should try to have some peace of mind.”
“This bastard is pretending to be calm even when he’s being insulted.”
“…”
Is he really an idiot?
“Having peace of mind… isn’t bad.”
Of course, he ignored my words and continued to say what he wanted.
“Spending long years sitting on the throne, focusing only on suppressing power… even reason and emotion crumble.”
“That certainly seems to be the case. Seeing how indifferent you are even when you’re being insulted.”
I felt like the motor in his mouth was spinning on its own.
“…Being freed feels pretty good. It’s a sensation I haven’t felt in decades. Everything is so sweet.”
“How good is it that you’re still like that?”
“Ah… At times like this…”
He ignored my words and insisted on saying what he wanted. He had an otherwordly level of thick-skinnedness. Thinking that Risha was seeing all this made me feel a bit strange.
“I want to gather with my subordinates and have a drink.”
“Your subordinates.”
“…”
“I killed them all.”
The banter is over now.
The Demon King’s endlessly swelling power stopped expanding at some point. That power dug into his body. My gaze accurately identified it, and a burning fighting spirit commanded me to kill the enemy before me.
Strong power.
Yes.
Challenge me with that power.
“Yes. I suppose so.”
The Demon King’s voice turned cold.
I killed his subordinates.
“One more thing. There’s something else I want to say.”
I poured my power into the Vugal I was holding.
The skill level is the same.
Only his power has changed.
“Demon King Peleiser is strong. The reason I told you everything about myself is because I’m confident I can kill you.”
“Nonsense.”
“Thinking you could win while hiding your power was a miscalculation… Yes. This is it. I’ve fully unleashed my power.”
“Power you can’t control isn’t your power. How are you any different from the humans you despise, who are nothing more than slaves to God?”
“Khahaha… Yes. That’s also true.”
ㅡClang.
The Demon King raised his sword.
“Therefore.”
And.
“This is the end.”
He became a silver flash and rushed at me. ㅡWhoosh!! Faster. Faster than my perception. The silver power that erupted was like moonlight.
“The moon.”
It was as if the moon itself had become a meteor and was colliding with me.
「ㅡKwaaaaaaaang!!!」
An explosion erupted.
“Kuaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!”
The mad Demon King’s scream covered the battlefield.
“Puh…!”
I barely managed to block that intense strike with the Cheonma Shin-gong I had deployed and the power of the Vugal…! My bones ached, and blood gushed from my mouth, probably because my internal organs were damaged.
“Kahak!”
I spat out the blood that filled my esophagus. Where is the moon? That huge energy filled the battlefield, and for a moment I couldn’t pinpoint his location.
“…!”
When I recognized his presence for the second time.
ㅡKugugugugugugugugung!!
I was soaring up, smashing through the ceiling of the battlefield.
ㅡHwaak!
At the same time, the outside scenery came into view. The sky was already dyed orange. Thinking that the sun was setting, I.
“Siljang Sword Technique!!!!!!!!!!!!”
Used the exploded energy to unleash my sword!!!
“Dejaaaaaaaaaat!!!”
At the same time, a silver blade shot out from the hole I had made!!!
ㅡKwaaaang!!!
I accurately struck it down, and felt an enormous amount of impact. My hands went numb. But that wasn’t the surprising part.
Only the sword.
Only the sword had flown.
Peleiser had simply thrown his sword at me from below. Just throwing it caused this much impact?
“Interesting, Demon King.”
“The fun starts now.”
The Demon King appeared at the same time as I recognized him. He was holding the sword he had thrown. ㅡPaaat! A flash of light occurred. Along with it, countless sword strikes poured down.
ㅡChwajajajajajak!!
“Mixer, damn it!”
I barely managed to read each one and parry them.
ㅡKwang!!
I immediately pulled out my wings, kicked off the sky, and escaped! The moment I executed a short-distance escape using extreme acceleration.
“Chains of the sky. Grip of the demon heaven. Shadow of the giant. Bound the monsters of another world, and seized the strong of another world, and pierced their hearts simultaneously. Be bound, Hero.”
ㅡJiiiiiiing!!!
Magic circles unfolded around me.
“Cheonma Destruction Jade.”
I unleashed my sword with my right hand and threw the Destruction Jade I created with my left hand to destroy the magic circles, but the magic circles that were newly created at the same time as the destruction appeared as if they were multiplying.
ㅡChareureureureureuk!!!
From within the magic circles, chains of darkness and grips were spewed out like machine gun bullets.
“Do you think you can bind this Superhuman Cheonma Kim Kat with mere magic!!!!”
I destroyed the flying magic with my sword! A moment split and split again! In that time, my extremely explosive consecutive strikes destroyed all kinds of magic circles!!!
“My magic is infinite.”
“Crap.”
Before I knew it, I was like a caterpillar inside a cocoon.
Surrounded by magic circles.
ㅡChareureureureureuk!!!
Magic was fired from all directions. Chains and grips bound my limbs. I thought I could easily break free.
“Wow, damn it, I’m actually bound.”
This is damn heavier than I thought.
My movements are being restricted more than expected.
“Vanish.”
And beyond those magic circles.
「ㅡHwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaak!!!」
A giant flash of moonlight was fired.
You could call it a cannon of moonlight.
“This is damn strong.”
ㅡPachangchang!!
The binding magic exposed to the flash was destroyed. At that timing, I kicked off the sky once again. I can avoid it… Would I be Cheonma if I couldn’t avoid something like this? I’d be an idiot if I couldn’t avoid this.
“But I didn’t think you’d shoot twice.”
At the same time as I avoided it, a second flash was fired at the spot I had avoided.
Was it a double shot?
「ㅡKuuuuuuuuuuuuung!!!」
An enormous impact covered me…!
“Teeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeng!!!!”
I screamed in agony in the flash!!!
“Ilgasilgakdechyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat!!!!!!!!!”
Damn!!!!!! It hurts so much!!!!!!! A piercing pain like burning awls stabbing each muscle fiber covered me…! The power itself is tremendous! I never imagined it would contain such powerful force!
Of course, I expected all of this!
He’s stronger than I imagined, but I’m not one to give in!! Good! If you’re going to challenge me, you have to be this good!
ㅡWhoosh!!!
My body was flying like a meteor. Fortunately, I wasn’t seriously injured thanks to protecting my body with Cheonma Shin-gong. I can continue the battle. I’ll avoid that silver flash and chop off his head. That’s all I need to do.
ㅡPaaat!
I tried to return my flying body to its original state.
But… It’s not as easy as I thought!
It feels like driving on a downhill icy road!
But.
“Huh?!”
Something was strange.
As I continued to fly and fly, the scenery changed.
That in itself wasn’t strange.
But the surrounding scenery was.
“It’s scenery I know.”
Familiar scenery came into view.
I immediately recalled my memories.
“Prison. Ah! That’s right! Prison!”
This is near my prison! Feeling happy, I looked around to find the location of the prison.
And.
I was able to find it.
“Th, the prison is!!!!!”
Destroyed.
No.
The prison was a complete and utter mess.
“D, destroyed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
The sight of the prison, completely shattered and turned into ruins as if it had been exposed to bombing.
“Y!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
It was very small, but it came into my eyes very accurately.
“Yo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!u!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! dog!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
How dare you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! my!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! prisoners!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
