Chapter 58 – Gaiden: The 4 Heavenly Kings With the Highest Power in the Demon King’s Army (2)
In a ruined village full of corpses and traces of destruction, Grandel, the dragon race who can be said to be the best power of the demon king army, stood with his eyes closed.
Other demons had already withdrawn, and there were only two demons present here: Grandel and the other Four Heavenly Kings, Parsi.
And with Grendel’s excellent senses, he was able to sense the foolish Paladins running hard from afar.
“At about 100, there isn’t a single opponent who can compete with me.”
100 Paladins were caught in her gigam, but there was no one strong enough to compete with her.
That’s why he frowned as if he was dissatisfied, and Parsi smiled and said.
“There can’t be that many beings who can deal with us, right?”
She returned to her infant form, and the darkness behind her absorbed the corpses scattered around her.
Like a living creature, the darkness absorbed the corpses, and then a cruel sound rang out.
Wood deok! Kwaduk! Quadduk!
There was a loud sound of something crushing and breaking, and fragments of human flesh scattered from the darkness.
It was disgusting to look at the fragments of human flesh chopped up as if they were going to be used as fertilizer.
After the demons massacred the human village, the witch beasts who gathered were eagerly eating the fragments of human flesh that Parsi was scattering as if it were a delicacy.
Even so, the magical beasts instinctively noticed the danger of the people in front of them, and tried their best not to go against the planting of the two Four Heavenly Kings.
“Whoa… I have to make it again because I lost all my rabbits at that time, but it’s not easy to get the ingredients.”
Parsi The reason she crushes people’s bodies is that she takes people’s hearts and brains and uses them to remake her dolls.
In order to make a doll that looks exactly like the rabbit doll she made, she has to kill people like this to get the materials.
That’s why she kept repeating this act even though she was bored.
So, when she pulled out the heart and brain from most of her corpses, and only the last of her remained, a monster clung to it and ate the corpse in a hurry.
“Karrrr… Kaeung!”
The green-skinned goblin was eagerly eating corpses, and Farsi approached the goblin.
The goblin was taken aback by this, removed her mouth from her corpse and backed away.
There were pieces of human flesh and dried blood in her goblin’s mouth, which made Farsi’s face grimace.
And her actions were simple.
“It really bothers me!”
She absorbed her corpse along with the goblins that ate her corpse.
The darkness approached the goblin as if it were alive, and in an instant grabbed the goblin’s limbs with its tentacles and slowly dragged her body away.
“Cra la la la la!!!!”
She cried out desperately for help, but the other goblins avoided Parsi’s gaze and were busy eating the flesh of her corpse.
So the goblin was absorbed into her darkness along with the corpse she ate.
And again a terrible sound rang out.
Quadd! Quadduk!
This time, the sound of something breaking echoed, along with the demon’s scream.
“Cra la la la la la la!!!!”
A huge scream rang out with her vocal cords going out as if she was writhing in pain, but her darkness did not stop.
Whether or not the scream rang, the black darkness that swallowed her corpse and the goblin continued to move as if digesting it, and the goblin’s desperate scream eventually died down.
Then, the darkness scattered her corpse and the goblin’s meat pieces again, and only after the goblins became her meat pieces, Parsi, who had an innocent expression again, smiled.
“Then let’s prepare a prank with the Paladins soon!”
Grendel, who watched the situation in silence for a moment at her lively cry, drew a sword from behind.
“What? Did the sword change again? Did you get a new one?”
The girl’s appearance, as if looking for an answer, matched perfectly with her appearance and the goth loli-style dress she was currently wearing, and was so cute that it melted men’s hearts.
However, Grandel mercilessly aimed his sword at her throat and said,
“I don’t care what you do. You’re one of the 4 heavenly kings who have shown good manners to the demon king. But if you insult the corpses of the dead like this, I won’t stand still.”
As a dragon race who values honor, Grandel spoke in a threatening tone to Parsi, who treated the corpse as material for dolls.
At this, Parsi smiled and said.
“Fufufu… That’s right. If I’m dissatisfied, I think it’d be nice to make a decision like him right now.”
In fact, she is not one of the 4 heavenly kings selected in the great battle of sacred duels held every 100 years.
It was 10 years ago that she became the 4th King, and she killed the 4th Heavenly King, one of the 4th Heavenly Kings, who was one of the 4th Heavenly Kings at the time, in a duel and received the position of the 4th Heavenly King from the demon king.
Of course, Grandel and all of her demons were not dissatisfied with the fact that she was given the seat of the 4th Emperor.
Whoever wins in a fair fight gets everything.
I mean, that’s the devil’s way.
But Grendel didn’t like her way of thinking.
No matter how human she is, she doesn’t like her for making dolls out of the corpses of her opponents and acting strictly for her own sake.
But even so, the reason she went with her Grandel was because of the order of her one and only master, her demon king.
Therefore, she openly warned Parsi, revealing her hostility, and Parsi laughed it off.
No matter how much she had no loyalty to her demon world, she did not dare to provoke Grandel because she had loyalty to her demon lord.
Above all, it was because the paladins were slowly approaching.
Click-click-click-click-click-
Soon after, the sound of full plate armor clattering echoed from all directions, and the Paladins appeared.
They were wearing armor decorated with shiny gold shield patterns, and in their hands were holding golden greatswords of the same design.
Then, those who surrounded Grandel and Farcy raised their swords in unison and shouted.
It’s like burning their faith and fighting spirit.
“For the great Helios!”
“Charge!!”
“Kill the demons!!”
The resounding voice of fanaticism had the effect of making the listeners feel fear, and their gestures were filled with fanaticism toward God, creating a strong atmosphere that would not give in to any adversity.
Having created such an atmosphere, they raised their swords and madly charged at Grandel and Farcy.
Each one of these is a paladin with outstanding skills, probably strong enough that none of the humans want to fight the paladins.
The paladin who did all of the tank, heal, and deal alone was the pride of the Helios Church.
However, this is a common saying for ordinary people.
The opponents are demons in the demon realm, and the Four Heavenly Kings, who are at the top of their power.
But only 100 Paladins can defeat the Four Heavenly Kings? It is impossible.
What the Paladins are doing now is just an act of sacrificing their lives.
“It’s annoying! It’s annoying”
Parsi said that while watching the paladins swinging their swords at him.
A bright light emanated from the swords of the Paladins and began to shine intensely.
This is the divine magic that can be said to be the reason why Paladins are all-rounders.
Unlike magic that consumes mana, divine magic consumes divine power and can be used in many directions, from strengthening oneself and others to healing wounds and attacking.
And now, that power dwelled in the swords of the Paladins.
“Glory to Helios!”
“Die. Demon tribe!”
And just like that, the sword was swung.
Caang! Cacan!
However, the swinging sword did not hurt Farsi in the slightest.
Even though it was just a shallow darkness, the sword couldn’t penetrate the darkness, and it was all blocked.
As a result, the paladins calmly tried to escape, but before that, dozens of thorns created by darkness rose from the ground.
Fu-wook! Fu-wook! Fu-wook! Fu-wook! Fu-wook!
The rising thorns pierced the paladin’s armor lightly and made human skewers in an instant, and blood flowed from the thorns that had been pierced.
“Hoy!”
And as Farsi shouted cutely, small thorns came out from all sides of the bodies of those pierced by the thorns.
Fufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufu!!!!!!
The small thorns that grew in an instant grew long on the knights’ backs or stomachs, and the paladins’ wounds widened further.
“Aagh!”
“Heh… Lord Helios!”
As a result, the thorns screamed or called the name of their god Helios and raised their weapons to escape from the thorns, but the black thorns spread widely and swallowed the paladins.
Haha! Let’s go, materials!!”
And Parsi laughed at the Paladins and moved the darkness even faster.
Dark exclusive skill – pouring spear
The swiftly moving darkness turned into a spear and flew towards the paladins who were not hit by the thorns.
And the sound of something breaking and screaming echoed in the darkness.
Kwajijik! Kwajik!
“Kwaaaaak…! He… It’s Helios!”
“Aaaaa!!!”
Everyone would be frightened if they heard this ominous sound, but the paladins, as if they weren’t fanatics for no reason, didn’t care and ran with their swords.
“Let’s go! We’ll take revenge!”
“Kill the filthy demon bitch!”
The paladins came running while shouting that, and that was their last cry.
