Chapter 220 – The Mask (5)
After giving her autograph, I and Yeonah Lee headed towards the warp gate.
“Are you going to consume the inner altar before going to the Demon Beast King?”
“Yes, because I am in a hurry to improve my abilities.”
Lee Yeon-ah didn’t say anything. She was just giggling and laughing.
“You know what? Do you mean that a tremendous amount of energy is being invested in subjugating the Demon King?”
“Okay?”
“Yes, unlike sloth, you can see clearly now. The enemy called the Demon Beast King and tens of thousands of monsters following him. By now, the Vatican is also being dispatched in a panic, and Dawn and Changchun, known as the three major guilds in Korea, are said to be participating.”
“If it’s Changchun, is it the guild where Han Jong-woo’s father is?”
“Yes, a photon. It is said that the man, one of the highest ranks, and Chen Chu, who leads the dawn, will also participate. They say they are bringing in an enormous amount of manpower from China.”
“Even in China?”
“Yes, it is said that the Murim Meng and the Three Heavens will join forces.”
China has some characteristics that are different from other countries. Usually, guild units are organized, but in China, guild units were not enough, so they divided them into jeong, sah, and ma, and created a guild according to their group.
The Murim Meng made the Jeongpa, Samcheon made the Sapa, and the Demons made the Demonic Sect.
‘Actually, the Heavenly Demon is in Korea.’
Anyway, it’s a pretty interesting country.
“Then shall we depart soon?”
“Yes, it is.”
I said that to Yeonha Lee and sent a text message to Grandehill.
[I’m heading towards China]
I will move to China to catch the Demon King.
Since the Demon Beast King is on the field, the fairies are probably busy with this and that. I will discuss with the Balaur or the Void, and I will organize the fairy corps, so I sent the text message in advance because it will come a little late.
Ugh.
… You’re right there.
[Grande Hill: Are you heading toward China? I will support the fairy corps. Tell me the location]
Contrary to my expectations, the text came right away.
[It’s okay, no problem]
[Grande Hill: What is it?]
[I’m with Lee Yeon-ah right now]
[Grande Hill: … Are you twisted again?]
A sense of absurdity passed through the sentence. This is a bit embarrassing
I haven’t even touched Lee Yeon-ah yet.
[No, Lee Yeon-a is the mother of Seung-ha and Chae-rin]
[Grande Hill: I see. First of all, I know that
However, Grandehill did not believe me until the end. What kind of image am I to Grande Hill?
[Grande Hill: Yoon Seung-ha and Yoon Chae-rin also departed. In case you didn’t know, Kim Si-yeon also participated. You can probably meet them on the way to the Demon Beast King in China]
[Okay]
So, I need to quickly get my advice and start. The inside of the giraffe carcass is the best thing, but there is nothing to throw away, such as bones or giraffe vinyl.
“It’s not manners to text another woman when you’re with a pretty woman like me.”
“… This is work related.”
“Siwoo, you don’t know much about women. That’s what they call tail wagging.”
Grandehill is already my woman. Rather, isn’t it Lee Yeon-ah who flirts with her?
“Anyway, let’s leave quickly, because the Demon Beast King will be in full swing after a while.”
Excitingly, Lee Yeon-a dragged me away.

A place that looks like a conference room with a large round table.
Lee Ji-ah, who had been following Kim Eun-jung around and came with him, looked around the place. They were faces everyone knew.
These were the faces that always appeared when broadcasting on TV or talking about who is the hero that children long for.
Gwang Seong-ja, the guild leader of Changcheon, Nam Da-yoon, the swordsman who killed a thousand monsters as soon as he entered the rank, and Chun-chu, the Dawning guild leader, and so on.
Not only that, starting with The One, the most famous hero from America, the humble man from the Vatican, and the swordsman from Japan.
And the Bongguan Shaman from the Hero Academy and the Paeryongdan, a combat organization sent by dragons.
It was possible for the people present here to erase a fairly large country from the map if they wanted to.
“Our operation is simple. The first goal is to lure and annihilate the demon beasts in different directions.”
An all-white haired man wearing glasses standing next to the head of the association in the meeting room started the briefing.
“The Demon Beast King is a very difficult opponent by itself, but the Witch Beasts are more dangerous than that. Individually, it is not dangerous, but it was determined that if they harm citizens, they can cause astronomical damage.”
“How many monsters?”
“As a result of our close observation, there are at least 100 monsters that are worthy of the prize. There are more than 5,000 septums below it.”
“That is an absurd figure.”
The Dawning Guildmaster Cheonchu said with a groan.
“How is the Chinese side moving?”
“The Chinese side is also concentrating their efforts as much as possible right now. We requested fire support from the hunters and formed a strike force with heroes reaching the midpoint. That number is approaching nearly 10 million.”
“… I don’t know if China is different, but the number of people is enormous. But that’s not the point. How are the numbers of heroes and Voids moving?”
“The hero has dispatched 500 heroes of the middle. All but two heroes of the highest rank were dispatched. Voidkin are also on the move. It has already been confirmed that all factories, except for the arms factories in China, are missing their proud ethmoid soldiers.”
“Then I guess I can handle the demons.”
“… Then, how do you organize a group to attack the Demon Beast King?”
Immediately after those words, the meeting room went quiet.
Everyone is confident in their skills, each has pride in their position, and it would not be strange if they became the face of each country, but the Witch King was another matter.
There are people who are afraid of dying, but there are people who can burn death for the sake of honor or because of their sense of duty. That is why they are called heroes.
However.
Confronting the Demon Beast King was a different matter. They are people who will not hesitate to sacrifice themselves if they can defeat the Demon Beast King.
However, the demon king is the one who gives them fear that it could be a meaningless death.
Sloth, who was said to be on the same level as him, inflicted irreparable deep wounds on Japan.
Because of that injury, Japan has to focus on recovery for the next two years. There are no people here who think they can beat him just because a few superlatives stick together.
“We are recruiting top-rated heroes with a cut-off.”
“Didn’t the real one who killed Sloth never show up?”
The One, a hero from the United States, asked the man with white hair.
“Are you talking about Kim Eun-jung?”
“Oh, friend. I didn’t ask about him. Kim Eun-jung, I know that her friend is really strong, and I know that her unique ability is really ferocious… She doesn’t think she can hit the demon lord alone.”
“Me too. No one will deny Kim Eun-jung’s strength… The demon king is another matter.”
“You don’t have to worry about that. Lee Yeon-ah is already preparing for the showdown with the Demon Beast King.”
“Yeonah Lee… You mean that ‘returnee’?”
“Yeah.”
“If she is that woman, she can be trusted…” …”
“It’s one of the strongest powers in the current situation.”
The Dawning Guildmaster nodded.
“I am also in favor. Please let me know if you run out of power.”
“How are the fairies and dragons moving?”
“Our race is already recruiting most of the members except for the king.”
“The fairies are already moving in the form of legions.”
“… ?”
At the words of the fairy, the dragon tilted its head for a moment.
The fairies hadn’t called themselves ‘corps’ until now.
The reason was that there was no real ‘king’ to lead the fairies.
The members of the Paeryongdan inadvertently looked at the fairies. Grandehill, the right-hand man of Titania, the queen of the fairies. The power hidden in the indifferent gray eyes.
‘Has it become stronger?’
Fairies are one step behind Dragons and Voids. Although they are a strong race, the Voids and Dragons are mighty and fearsome races.
Nevertheless, it is entirely thanks to the queen, Titania, that the fairies are famous as one of the three major races, unlike the ‘beasts’ who are born with strong bodies or the ‘psionics’ who awaken their supernatural powers as soon as they are born.
And the potential of the fairies also played a role. This is because as soon as the Fairy King is born, the power level of the fairies rises unbelievably.
-… Maybe, just in case, I’ll ask.
The members of the Paeryongdan stammered without realizing it, and conveyed their thoughts to the fairies.
-Yes, as you might expect, you’re probably right.
– Is it real? No, it’s real. The fact that you became strong so quickly is proof that the Fairy King was born.
-Yes, and be careful as it may go into the devil’s ears.
-Okay, be careful.
-Also, just in case, the Dragon King might be able to go out on his own, so could you prepare for it?
-Our king?… Right. But can he withstand the demon king’s attack?
-Yes that’s right.
At Grandehill’s definite answer, the members of the Pale Dragons smiled brightly. Their king is strong.
In human form, he boasts that he has no rivals except for Titania, who has assimilated into the World Tree.
And when she returns to her divine dragon form, her power rises exponentially.
Because she believes that there is no adversary that can match her with her single body, except for her true demon king, her arrogant dragon, and her warrior god.
***
Inside the Hero Academy.
A doll appeared on the mountain. Blood-stained eyes and hair. The blood demon quietly brushed his hair back.
“The boundaries have definitely become loose.”
Blood Demon laughed and said.
– Hyukwol-nim is also very indifferent. To buy time by driving one’s comrades as bait, and to wake up other ‘evil’.
A strange crackling voice. Even though she had already died once, it was because she forcibly applied the reverse heaven technique to prolong her life.
“More than that, Sword Demon, is the new body okay?”
– It’s better than I thought. However, the capacity is too low. At this rate, I might not even be able to handle the gap.
Sword Demon raised her hand briefly and said.
“Anyway, it will be all right soon. Reverse Heaven’s magic requires a price, but it’s worth paying for it. Rather, it’s the regressor’s companions that are the problem. Is there a possibility that they will participate?”
-… Does not exist. Most of them have long since lost their strength in the decisive battle with the demon king. And three of them have already crossed over to us, and the fate of all the rest is unclear. Even if there were, they’d be too seriously injured to handle us.
Sword Demon was convinced.
When he was in the alliance, the first thing he did was to check whether they were alive or dead.
“Don’t hurry any further than that. Before the Queen or the man comes.”
Hehesaid with a low laugh. The humiliation of that day was really humiliating, but thanks to that, the Blood Demon’s ability grew.
Compared to that time, it’s okay to run into Siwoo Lee.
-Yes, don’t rush. Let’s quickly get ready to wake the chaste maiden.
The Sword Demon smiled bleakly and said.
