âUnderestimating the king of hell, mocking the king of hell, threatening the king of hell, standing in front of the king of hell, raising tone in front the king of hellâ¦
â Malik mentions all of the things that he considered as a crime, Taros, and co silently watched and hear Malikâs words with trembling legs.
Taros and co immediately recalled the things they did in front of Demon Oz. Thranâs leg trembles vigorously after he saw how easily Paimonâs father got captured by the demon in front of him.
âI see⦠I see⦠It seems that the king of hell didnât bear a grudge towards you all. I see⦠I see⦠But shame, even if he didnât, I DO! Zabanies! SHOW THESE CRIMINALS THE TASTE OF HELL!!!â Malik shouted.
Following Malikâs instructions, four figures using a black hood and dressed like a death god appeared from the unknown.
âShit! Donât be scared! Itâs just the illusion magic of an incubus!! Wake up and fight!!â Taros shouted as he ready his sword.
âAn illusion, huh⦠Indeed⦠This WAS indeed an illusion, but, not anymore⦠You should see and feel yourself whether all of this is an illusion or notâ¦â Malik flicked his fingers again, summoning the countless chains of hell.
Even though Taros is strong, his strength is nowhere near Paimonâs fatherâs strength. He could only barely dodge and block the chains, while the other demons got captured by the chains rather easily.
âDamn it all!!!â Taros growled as his calm and collected expression completely disappeared.
Whoosh!
Right after Taros just landed on the ground after barely succeeded in evading the last chain, the four figures appeared and surrounded him in a blink.
âDamn it!â Taros swing his sword with his full force, but one of the figures blocked his sword easily with a saw.
âImpossibleâ¦â Taros muttered as he surrenders because of the possibility of winning that almost non-existent.
The chains finally captured Taros too. The chains suddenly pulled all of them with a powerful force and speed to a deeper part of the valley where the flame rages ferociously.
âââAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRGGGGHHHHH!!!!!âââ
The cry and groan of them entered Paimonâs fatherâs ears clearly. He tried his best to break the burning chains that confining his body, but rather than getting loose, the chains strengthen the power of the grip.
**************************
Pant! Pant! Pant!
In front Demon Oz, Paimon, Adramelech, Lucifer, and Beelzebub, Taros, and co are lying in the ground while soaked in sweat. They checked on their body and looked at them in shock.
(I-itâs just an illusion? No, I definitely feel the pain is real, and that Malik and hooded demons are real creatures. There is no way itâs just an illusion!) (Khran)
âKneel, as youâre in the presence of the king of hell,â Lucifer said with a deep voice.
Thran, Taros, Khran, and the 10 generals suddenly remembered what kind of things they just experience inside the purgatory. They immediately kneeled in front of Demon Oz because of fear towards him and his purgatory.
âââPlease forgive our rudeness, your majesty!!!âââ (Taros and co)
âJust like what Malik had said, Iâd forgive you, heâs the one who doesnât,â Demon Oz said indifferently. Lucifer, Paimon, Adramelech, and Beelzebub couldnât help but have a wry smile imprinted on their face.
Only four of them in this world that knew how terrible the last level of Demon Ozâs hell is.
This skill is one of the perks that Demon Oz gets from the dungeon coreâs upgrade. He got two options for a new skill, [True Purgatory] or [Satan Transformation]. [Satan Transformation] skill allows Demon Oz to transform into a powerful devil for a short while, but he wonât be able to use that occasionally, so Demon Oz chose the [True Purgatory] skill.
[True Purgatory] is a dimensional space that resembles hell owned solely by Demon Oz. The power will increase according to how much prisoners the purgatory has. The prisoners that became the fuel of the hell are called âFoddersâ.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âAll of you got your torn limbs and wounds healed because youâre just a visitor. Youâll have your limbs gone for real if you entered my hell as prisoners, while the one who entered it as fodder will eternally live at the brink of death and became the fuel of my hell,â Demon Oz said with a sadistic smile.
Taros and co trembled as he heard Demon Ozâs words.
âAnyway, the time youâve spent inside my hell is only 2 minutes,â (Demon Oz)
!!!???
âI-impossibleâ¦â Paimonâs father muttered as he feels that they had past more than an hour inside the purgatory.
âThat hell is my own dimension, and it had its own flow of time. By the way, the hell had regard all of you as my comrades. Try checking your amount of mana, even though you just got tortured by them, those angel of punishment also refines the mana foundation inside your body. While the fire of the purgatory will burn even the mana of an enemy, it will strengthen my allies, now, try releasing your mana,â (Demon Oz)
Taros and co checked on their mana, and indeed, their body felt lighter and their mana got strengthened. Paimonâs father checked on his body too, and he widens his eyes in a surprise at what he saw.
âImpossibleâ¦â Paimonâs father muttered. His mana that had stopped improving finally break through the bottleneck of the cultivation!
(This guy⦠He might be the key to this kingdomâs golden age!) (Paimonâs Father)
Different from the others, Paimonâs father is the only one who didnât kneel to Demon Oz even though he saw the torture the angels of punishment did towards his generals, he still stands firmly and indifferently in front of Demon Oz without showing any sign of fear.
âWhat a strong and magneficent man you are, Ren Arken. Youâve brought quite a unique man here, Paimonâ¦â Paimonâs father shows a rare fatherly smile towards Paimon.
âIâm not as good as you think I am, my lord. Youâre also magnificent enough to make even the guardian of hell, Malik, wary of you, my-â (Demon Oz)
âJust call me father, Ren. Ho-ho-ho-ho-ho!â Paimonâs father cut Demon Ozâs words and laughed.
ââ¦..Yes, F-fatherâ¦â Demon Oz said awkwardly.
(Seriously, so this is the plan you mean, huh, Paimon?) (Lucifer)
(I see⦠So Paimon will bear the successor of the king, huh? It means sheâs not the queen!!) (Adramelech)
(Since when does my king and Paimon had already in a relationship?) (Beelzebub)
âThanks, father!â Paimon said cheerfully as she clings to Demon Ozâs arm again.
âThran! Khran! We will be preparing for Paimonâs wedding! You, 11 hell generals, go back to your posts and train your new powers! Donât sully our new kingâs name!! And spread the word that the queen is back! And she had brought back to us a new magnificent king!!â Paimonâs father said cheerfully as he leaves the throne room together with Thran and Khran.
The 11 generals follow suit and left the throne room too, leaving Paimon, Beelzebub, Adramelech, Lucifer, and Demon Oz alone.
âSo now what, Paimon?â Demon asked towards Paimon that is still clinging to his arm.
âBefore that, my king. Is it wise to show them your purgatory and let the purgatory to consider them as allies? Considering we didnât know much about the demons in this kingdom yet, wonât it be dangerous for you to strengthen them just like that?â (Lucifer)
âIs that so? I thought theyâre rather good eggs, and Paimonâs fatherâs strength might even be stronger than the four of us, you know?â (Adramelech)
âYea, Iâm itching to fight that old man. I could feel that heâs strong,â (Beelzebub)
âItâs fine, Lucifer. This kingdom is the only demon kingdom I could trust because itâs the kingdom Paimon had made. I need to win them over no matter how, and since every demon respected strength, I need to show them my real strength to make sure they are absolutely loyal towards me. And itâs also a good opportunity for you guys to search for your army members, right, my dear generals?â (Demon Oz)
âIndeed!! I want strong and powerful men!! Iâll have my soldiers became splendid warriors!!â Adramelech shouted with full of vigor.
âI think I also want to make a powerful group of elite and have some of the strongest to become my kingâs royal guardsâ¦â (Lucifer)
âIâll accept anyone who has strength!â (Beelzebub)
(Iâll be marrying with my king!!!) (Paimon)
âGood, now Paimon, give us a brief explanation about your kingdom,â (Demon Oz)
Following Demon Ozâs order, Paimon reluctantly release Demon Ozâs arm and gave them a brief explanation about her kingdom.
Paimonâs kingdom is called the Ethiresean Kingdom.
Just like what Demon Oz thought, Paimonâs father is the former king of the kingdom and was unexpectedly ranked as the 3rd demon king of the demon realm.
Paimon explained to Demon Oz and co about the condition her kingdom is in the last time she inside the kingdom, and what kind of specialties and traits her kingdom has.
Paimonâs heart shivers in happiness as she could already imagine what kind of future her kingdom has under the leadership of Demon Oz.
(The golden age of Ethiresean is coming~) (Paimon)
