Episode 476. Demon king hunting (2)
Rumble!
An elderly man dressed in a suit opened the door and entered.
Grampin.
He was the butler in charge of Guntaperâs fortress and the longest-lived demon in the Pandemonium.
âIâm sorry to have kept you all waiting for so long. Iâm sorry to see so many big things happen one after another.â
âItâs just an excuse that doesnât work. More than that, Grampin, how long are you planning to keep us here?â
âI heard that Kang Jin-hyeok and Gabriel came with the powerful angelsâ¦â
âDid Guntaper tell you to do this?
The high-ranking delegation of each demon army in the audience room poured out words full of dissatisfaction.
âEveryone, take your anger away. Even if you donât, I will guide you to where Guntafer is now.â
Guntaper is currently fighting in the fiercest battlefield.
To kill a guy named Kang Jin-hyeok, who leads the deceased person corporation.
In other words. It means that if you go that way, you will have a chance to make the biggest ball.
âIs it really?â
âAnyways, would you deceive the people who came to represent the Demon Lords? Come with me.â
The demons stood up one by one.
It was a bonus that he had a fishy smile on his face.
âFinally, our expedition has meaning.â
âHow long have I been looking forward to this time.â
âKuk-kuk. The balance of the Pandemonium has continued for a very long time.â
One thought common to all.
It was a reward to share after this fight.
Of course, the scope of the reward did not include Berielâs tiny estates and treasures.
There are remnants of the demon king family that are all ruined, but it was nothing.
More important than that is the accessory that symbolizes the âDemon Kingâ.
In order to become a new demon king, you must obtain the ring that Beriel has.
and the same time.
A new incident was occurring outside the Tower of Trials as well.
[Player âBroadcasting Newbieâ turned on the live broadcast.]
Most of the people were paying their attention to the 31st floor, where a large raiding party was working hard.
The hourglass could delay the destruction of mankind, and it was inevitably popular because it had so many outstanding guilds and rankers mobilized.
however.
Meanwhile, someone turned on the broadcast.
The 40th floor of the Tower of Trials is titled âWith the Unknownâ.
Normally, there was no reason to ask for such a nonsensical aggro, but the scenery that appeared in the thumbnail was a place no viewer had ever seen before.
devildom.
I see a player standing tall with a long sword in a demonic landscape full of ash and fire.
In front of him stood a demon with horns exuding a tremendous atmosphere.
As long as the broadcast is turned on, you donât have to explain every phrase.
That demon is at least a demon level monster.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
-Jjanggureonggi: I think itâs real? Itâs steamed. look over there Elise and Teresa are there too, right? On the left is a bit hazy, but thereâs also Master Kang Jin-hyeok.
-Gulbi: Did another player turn it on instead? wow thats crazy Everyone else is on the 30th floor, but only Goinmul Corporation and Unknown went on the 40th floor?
-Jane: Is it their own war?
-jm1: What the hell are you guys fighting about?
-kos: It seems like youâre trying to do something beyond your imagination again. Another class. Are you really going to get to the top?
-mirra: Frey is my future wife.
Through word of mouth, the number of viewers grew rapidly.
At first, there were dozens of people, but in less than 10 minutes, there were more than 5,000 people, and by the time 20 minutes had passed, it had increased to 100,000 people.
Whether itâs a shortcut or a detour that the average person doesnât know.
It doesnât matter.
This fresh and overwhelming scene was enough to make everyone go wild by itself.
âââ
âAt this level, I think Iâve roughly finished the preparations.â
Jinhyeok looked at the hologram alter ego in the distance.
A doppelganger placed through Undine and the Spirit Beasts.
The items purchased at the coin exchange are finally starting to show their true value one by one.
âLooks like youâre playing around with something again. Judging by the waves of magic⦠are you relaying this situation to the other floors?â
Guess who isnât the Demon King?
One quick notice.
As a resident, you may not know about the broadcasting system, but considering that you have inferred a similar situation nonetheless.
Jinhyuk neither affirmed nor denied.
âAs expected, thatâs right. But whether itâs angels, horses, or barbarians, this situation wonât change no matter who comes.â
âOhhh. Youâre full of confidence. Why do you think so?â
âThatâs because the one I prepared is much more powerful.â
Guntaferâs gaze turned to one side.
Just in time, I saw Grampin bringing demons from afar.
âFrom now on, you will have to deal with not only me, but all demon lords at the same time.â
âWhat does that meanâ¦â
âWatch carefully. How will this fight end?â
Fuck!
Guntafer, with a smile on his face, snapped his fingers.
OK.
[The sealing stone is released!]
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
An explosion split the heavens and the earth.
Kwak Kwa Kwak! Kwak Kwa Kwa Kwam!
To the extent that I doubted that a single skill could dare to produce this much firepower. A pillar of fire broke through the clouds.
The citadel shakes throughout.
In a single explosion, a third of this mighty citadel was reduced to ashes.
eardrum is still dull The limbs also trembled as if they belonged to someone else.
âCool, no, are you really thinking of self-destructing?â
Jinhyeok coughed, but Guntaper burst into madness.
âHa ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Thatâs it. Itâs perfect!â
Bodies turned to charcoal.
In addition, those who survived in this explosion were all related to the Goinmul Corporation.
Thatâs enough conditions to arouse suspicion.
Suddenlyâ¦
Guntaper intentionally hurt himself.
It was a kind of performance to add flavor to this perfect play.
âSo⦠this was all a plan to catch me?
âItâs like that. But, youâre too slow to notice. Soon, all the demon lords will gather to hunt you. Maybe even that heavy-ass drunk man will move. Thatâs pretty expected.â
ââ¦If you avoid this much, it might be.â
A demon kingâs territory was turned into a mess by human hands. The rest will not stand still.
âStill, isnât it too much to kill all the kids we ate together?
âKeukkeuk! Do you really expect such things from the demons? It is our essence to be able to hold hands with angels if it is for our own sake.â
Are you saying you wonât discriminate between enemies and allies?
The plan itself certainly isnât bad.
The problem isâ¦
the plan has a fatal flaw.
âItâs all good, but have you forgotten that I know the full extent of your prank?â
âWhich one do you think youâll believe, your words⦠or the words of this body?â
Guntafer furrowed his brows, as if he didnât deserve an answer.
However, the smile still did not disappear from Jinhyeokâs lips.
As expected, the most thrilling thing is when you crush an opponent who is sure of victory.
âDidnât I ask if I had asked for outside help earlier? Iâm sorry, but I wasnât sending it to the players or to my side.â
The main purpose of the items purchased from the coin exchange and âHeart of Antradâ is not simply to create a hologram.
amplification and transmission effect.
All the scenes that have happened so far have been passed on to the demon lords in every corner of the demon realm.
âI knew at least that if it were you and not someone else⦠you would never use poison poison alone.â
âWhatâ¦? To the demon lords?â
This completely changed the result.
Humans who are enemies, but care about the honor and lives of the demons.
Only the demon king who tried to trample everything but himself remained.
ââ¦Itâs nonsense. Thereâs no way you know about the exclusive circuits of the demon lords. How do you⦠know that theyâve been renewed after the war with Beriel!â
âYouâre free to believe or not, but Iâm sure by now, youâre being bombarded with the rumors of demon lords.â
ââ¦Unbelievable.â
The demon lords were really asking for a conversation.
In order to investigate the death of their cherished limbs and why.
âThis son of a bitch⦠I will definitely tear you to death. Even if I die, I will definitely!â
âThreats and swearing are good, but shouldnât we run away right now?â
ââ¦â
His fingers twitched for a moment, but Guntaper turned and disappeared in the opposite direction.
It was because he knew better than anyone else that if he didnât run away right away, he would die.
Jinhyeok did not follow him.
As long as the âHeart of Antradâ left a mark, it was possible to track the location infinitely wherever it fled to the Pandemonium.
and.
It was much easier to hunt Guntaper, who was completely exhausted and exhausted from being chased and chased by the Demon Realmâs pursuers.
âI should only put a spoon on the finished rice.â
The other demon lords will be angry, but thatâs not their business.
Even if you turn everyone into enemies, you canât give up that huge amount of experience and rewards.
at the same time.
[Copying conditions have been met.]
[Copying the unique ability âThe Hand of Subjugationâ has been successful!] [
The deities of the Pandemoniumâs affinity for you increases!]
[The demon lords begin to view you differently.]
One after another Status windows that appear.
The winner of this fight was decided by this.
âââ
Purple-tinged stalactites hang from the floor made of black crystal.
A dreamy and heterogeneous landscape.
Even in the Tower of Trials, this was a place worthy of heaven and earth.
Because this cave was the final path to the top of the tower.
and present.
Inside the cave, two shadows were having a conversation.
Tremblingâ¦.
My only hand trembles.
Hastings broke into a cold sweat and looked at Nyarlathotep in front of him.
âHereâ¦â
âDonât be afraid. I saw something I shouldnât have seen, so I wonât send you back alive⦠Itâs not like this. Come on, come this way. Huh?â
Nyarlathotep took a light step.
âRather than that, Guntaper was completely destroyed, but Beriel⦠No, I heard that Kang Jin-hyeok played a decisive role?â
âHe combined strange items on the coin exchange and made the Demon Lords his side. I canât prepare for it because itâs the first time Iâve seen itâ¦â
Hastingâs voice became more desperate.
Since he had already lost an arm, he was more afraid of continued failure.
This time youâll pay more than arms.
âItâs okay. Itâs okay. Iâm not trying to rebuke you. We also felt that he wasnât normal. I didnât call you for that reason⦠I called you because of the âVaticanâ outside the tower.â
âBar, if itâs the Vaticanâ¦?â
âItâs a small dominion in a world inhabited by humans. It contains clues to books that must be retrieved. Now, prepare everything written here. You canât miss any of it.â
Nyarlathotep handed him a piece of paper.
âOh, I see.â
âOkay, then you should go now.â
Just in case you change your mind,
Hastings hurriedly
disappeared . âBig! Big!â
A new voice interrupted, âThat guy, did
nât
you suspect otherwise? Itâs been a while since Iâve been hiding my presence, so itâs a little clumsy.â
âYes. I think so,â
Nyarlathotep nodded.
A voice from the shadows chuckled cheerfully.
âYes, thatâs good, then. Hastings is still useful in many ways. The same goes for the Exension.â
âIt was a dangerous prank. Except for my father and mother, even my own people donât know about your existence.
â Someone tried to pass through the 50th floor?â
Just a while ago, an accident happened on the 49th floor.
Someone tried to break through the passage to the 50th floor. Itâs
absurd that they crossed the towerâs ban, which even the Godheads donât want to approach. Each of the intruders consisted only of strong people who surpassed the
main characters. Itâs not clear what floor heâs from, what his identity or abilities are.â
Nyarlathotep bit his molars.
Nothing else aside. He couldnât believe that there was someone he didnât know in this Tower of Trials.
But.
âEagle Owl . â¦is it. That guy really works hard too.â
The shadow clicked his tongue as if he knew it.
âIf itâs an eagle owlâ¦? Do you really know their identities?â
âAh, you donât have to know. Itâs just an old bad relationship with me. Still, I wouldnât be able to move recklessly because of the restrictions, but itâs surprising to see how tenaciously they are looking for ways to destroy them. Amazing.â
ââ¦I donât think itâs my area to intervene.â
âNo. This is something I have to deal with.â â
Well, is there anything I need to help with?â
âThere is one.
â âEllis.â
One of
the
few variables that could threaten her existence
