Chapter 222 – The Process of Evolution (9)
“The Demon King’s presence… Has disappeared!”
Koo–!
A red bull screaming while raising its arms in the castle of demons, which should never make a loud noise.
“…”
Even Lilith, the Queen of Inma, who would normally have shook her head saying that Baal’s behavior had no dignity, couldn’t say anything and stood still with her mouth open as if in shock.
‘Demon King’s presence has disappeared…? Stand… No way…! Was the Demon King defeated?’
Lilith, who admires the demon king of the black death as the absolute ruler of this world, could never imagine the picture of the demon king being attacked by the lower creatures of the human world, no matter how much he advanced alone.
“I can’t believe this! Demon King! Our Demon King…!”
Thump thump–!
In the meantime, Baal stamped his feet, not knowing what to do.
Whirly Ririk–!!
“Shut up!”
With Lilith’s cry, a purple thorny vine rose from the ground.
Whoops-!
“Ouch..!!”
Covers Baal’s body and binds it like a rope.
“It could be that the Demon King has hidden his presence! At our level, if the Demon King decides to hide, we won’t be able to recognize him!”
“Oh? Is that so?”
The red bull scratched the hair on her head with her fingers while showing a surprised expression, perhaps thinking that Lilith’s words had some truth.
Dududuk..–!!
“Then I guess I can ask the royal wizard who has one of the demon lord’s soul crystals!”
He shouted as he untied the thorny vines that covered his body by shaking his body once.
“Huh? Yes! Soul crystal! If you were alive, the light of the crystal wouldn’t have gone out! How could you… You, a platoon head, tell a very helpful story?”
“Haha! Now I can see the greatness of Baal.
The big bull’s head tilted her head as if Lilith had insulted her.
Worst-!
“Let’s go quickly! I think I’ll be relieved if I check with my own eyes to see if the Demon King is all right!”
Lilith, riding on Baal’s shoulder, struck Baal’s horns with the summoned whip in her hand and shouted,
“Oh, yes.”
Thump thump–!
Baal, who was a little displeased with Lilith’s treatment of him, but decided that it was important to check whether the demon king was alive or dead anyway. Baal took Lilith and headed to the Lich King’s palace, where the wizard resided.
Flutter–! Flutter–!
The result of flying while spreading the wings of a big bat.
Dagdak-! Dagdak-!
Soon, I was able to face the skeleton soldiers guarding the building made of bones.
All right! All right! Click-!
Although the number was in the tens of thousands.
“What? These bastards?”
Whoa—!
Click-! Ttagrak–!
The skeleton knights turned into bone fragments and flew away at the snort of Baal, who lowered his head.
Dig-!
Dagdak-!!
Among them, the Death Knight-class Skeleton Knights, who had quite a bit of power, attacked Baal.
Pooh–!
“Go away. I’m here to meet your master.”
Baal swung his hand like he was driving away flies and blew the Skeleton Knights away.
“Wizard~ Wizard~ Where are you~? Come out quickly-“
Meanwhile, Lilith brought her hands to her mouth, raised her coquettish voice with a megaphone-like spell, and searched for the lich holding the crystal.
Jiing–!
At that moment, a black magic circle forms in the middle of the void–
Dig–!
[No, some guys dare..! ]
The Skeleton Wizard Arch Lich, wearing a robe and shining purple eyes through the skull’s eye sockets, appeared.
“Oh! Was it outside, not inside?”
“Nice to meet you! Wizard! Demon King, show me the crystal~ Quickly! Quickly!”
[No General..? In addition to the succubus queen, what happened here… Huh? ]
Archrich Asmodeus, who was continuing his words, lowered his head as he felt his own demonic energy fading from the floor.
Patter..
[…! ]
And what he sees is the miserable appearance of the skeletons he raised as his precious summons and pets!
[ Aaah-!! My children I made by putting each bone together!! ]
Looking at the Skeleton Soldiers and Skeleton Knights rolling on the floor with only rubble remaining, Akrich shouted in astonishment to the extent that his jawbone fell out.
[What kind of guy dares..! ]
“Ah.”
[…!! ]
Acrich Asmodeus raised his head at Baal’s ‘ah’ sound.
Swoop-
Lilith scratched his head and pointed a finger at Baal’s head with an expression that Baal and himself did nothing wrong.
[ Aaaaa!! Daejang Gouwoon!!! ]
“No. I didn’t do that on purpose, did those guys just attack me without questioning and answering?”
[Revenge of my children!!! ]
Geeing–!!
With Asmo’s angry cry, an ’11 stacked’ black magic circle is formed around him.
Hey hey-!!
Dozens of gigantic skeletons burning with green flame popped out.
Jump-!
Lilith jumped off Baal’s shoulders.
Again – again –
Move that step and track down the magic that Asmodeus has come out of.
Squeak–..
With shadow magic, he teleported into Acrich’s room and laboratory.
“It’s a bad hobby to decorate.”
Dragon tails and all sorts of hideous skeletons in liquid bottles. It was a room full of magical objects that disturbed the eyes around forbidden books that seemed cursed just by touching them.
Whoops–..
“Ah! Demon King.”
The huge crystal in the center of the room was Lilith, who looked so lovely.
Woohoo—
“Because I knew you would be alive.”
The huge crystal did not lose its luster and emitted an ominous black glow.
Since the soul fragment of the Demon Lord Heuksa is built-in, this crystal will not lose its magic light unless the Black Death dies.
“Ah- it’s not like this, I have to keep it.”
Shuuk–!
Lilith, who used magic once again to place the crystal into the shadows.
As if melting under the shadows, I used the power of teleportation once again.
[Save my Alphonse–!! Ino Ohm–!! ]
Roaring– Kuhehehehe–!!
With Asmodeus, who was firing gigantic skulls burning with green flames, laughing wickedly.
Kaang–!!
“Please!”
Kaang–!!
“Listen!”
Acrich’s magic was difficult to handle with his huge body, so Baal could be seen throwing fists in the form of a silver-haired, tanned muscular man with red bat wings.
“Oh, you two look busy..?”
Seruk–
Lilith returned to the center of the demon castle by herself.
======
Chae-chae-chaeng—!!
The noise of the weapons crashing at a speed far beyond our senses.
‘Follow me! I have to follow you! Follow..!!’
Even though he was clearly swinging the spear with his own hand, the man who couldn’t handle the speed of the hand wielding the spear internally, so he was getting nervous.
Nettle liquid—
‘Ah-…’
The moment I lost the sense of moving the spear, I couldn’t respond to the opponent’s knife.
Seokkuk— Fuuk–!!
‘Kuaaaaah!!
As soon as I cut my throat, I felt the chilling sensation of a cold metal blade slicing through my skin and breaking my bones.
Shoot ah–
At that moment, the figure of the bamboo forest disappeared.
Wriggle–!
Dump-..!
A large man knelt down helplessly dropping the tentacles attached to the silver crystals.
“Kuhhhhh..! Hhhhh..! Ghhhhh.. Uhhhhh..”
He touched his neck with the arm on the side other than his tentacles and continued to breathe heavily through his white face.
He would also have linked his experience to the ancestor of the Nga who fought the black assassin, and he experienced everything he went through as if it were his own.
“I’m going to die…”
In fact, the experience of cutting the neck was also linked as it was, so the man, Cheols, continued to touch his neck to confirm its existence, even though his neck was well attached.
“Whoa…”
Dump–..
In the end, Cheols lies down on his bed and breathes because the power that has entered his body is not drained.
“…”
Then, with blank eyes, he looked up at the ceiling filled with transparent crystals.
‘I can’t eat this…’
It’s not just this one time.
Dozens of times already. Eunga suffered countless deaths in the same situation while connecting tentacles to the memorial crystal, which recorded the battle experiences of her ancestors.
Considering that the pain felt from that one death was real, Cheols’ mental power, which had experienced numerous deaths, was consumed as much as it was consumed and was in a state of complete rags.
‘No way.. I thought my thinking ability couldn’t keep up with absorbing experience.’
At first, I thought it was a power that could be eaten on the day that it was enough to just absorb it.
‘Nothing is free in this world..’
Even the experience of the ancestor of Nga, who is the lowest among the 10 heroes, had such a high level of thinking and judgment that it was impossible to keep up with.
“Is it the difference in talent…?”
If we recall that Eunga’s ancestor survived the final battle with the demon king, we can see that he never died in the bamboo grove that Sujeong shows.
However, the phenomenon of dying because you can not keep up with the opponent’s attack is happening.
‘It must mean that the qualities I have are less than those of Eunga’s ancestors.’
If you think about it, it’s natural.
He, who was just a tentacle demon, and Eunga’s ancestor, who reached the limit with spearmanship, were incomparable.
In fact, they are trying to absorb the crystal to fill that deficiency, but the crystal is not giving the experience for free, but it is an indirect experience that requires raising the sense of helplessness to a level similar to that of Eunga’s ancestors.
‘Obviously, each time I connect to the experience, the endurance time increases and the recall rate gradually increases… But I don’t know how many more times I have to die to catch up to the perfect recall rate…’
Cheols was so afraid of it.
“…”
..But every time I look at that crystal-covered ceiling, I see the smiling face of my daughter Hiro.
“Again!”
Cheols jumped up from his seat with a spirited spirit.
Wriggle–!
He stretched his hand toward the crystal again, creating tentacles and attaching them.
Aaaaah—
“Oooh!!”
And started again.
“Keuheuk! Uhhh..”
Series of pain.
“Quaaaaagh!!”
–Chaechaeng—!!!
The more he dies, the more he catches up with the opponent’s sword attacks with his spearmanship.
“Kreukreuk..”
Cheols sat cross-legged in the middle of the crystal room with his eyes closed and groaned.
“…”
Bahamut stood silently and watched the irons.
“Hiro… Hiro…!”
“Are you calling her daughter’s name in such agony?”
Bahamut, who already knew the situation of Cheols through the dragon’s eyes, asked.
“Turn it off..!”
Of course, Cheols, who was fighting by accessing the crystal, was in pain because he couldn’t hear Bahamut’s voice, and was only sweating cold.
‘For his daughter…’
When I was watching Cheols, a bald giant, with such thoughts.
[ Ella… ]
Startle!
Bahamut trembled as he looked over at the handsome man with the white hair and red dragon’s eyes from the sitting Cheols.
With a bang!
‘They look completely different, so why is Obama…!?’
Bahamut hurriedly put down the tray of food and left the crystal room with a red face.
