Leveling With The Gods - Chapter 254

[Level Up with God Episode 254]

* * *

Demon Lord.

It was a title given only to a very small number of rankers among the demons.

Among the demons with titles similar to nobles, a small number of demons who were served by the nobles called themselves kings and began to rule the demon world.

Belial was also one of those demon lords.

Lord of lies.

His palace was of the dreariest color.

A sticky gray palace.

‘You have strange tastes.’

As a Yuwon who had stayed in the Golden Castle not long ago, it was a place that could not help but feel more gloomy.

“Father, your tastes are a bit peculiar, aren’t they?”

“He’s like the devil.”

The atmosphere was just right.

Just what I imagined.

Yuwon had only heard about it, but this was his first time visiting the Devil’s Castle in person.

“Not all demons are black. “Some people like pink.”

“There are all kinds of strange people out there.”

“That’s right. “I don’t understand either.”

As we moved around and talked about trivial things, we soon came to the center of the castle.

The city of Belial was even more deserted than the golden city.

There was no sign of human presence or even the feeling of an ant crawling around.

Am I using this large space alone?

While I was walking like that.

“Are you picking me up?”

“yes?”

When Yuwon stopped and muttered, Mamos looked back in surprise.

That moment.

“evil!”

Mamos’ body floated upward and large eyes appeared.

Cheok-.

– Mamos.

Belial’s eyes.

Bright red eyes and black veins glare at Mamos.

-Where are you wandering around like that?

A very angry voice comes out. Mamos was understandably frightened by the Demon King’s anger, but Mamos had a sour expression on his face.

“Stop acting angry. “You’re saying you won’t be fooled anymore?”

Mamos sighed, as if this wasn’t the first time something like this had happened.

Lord of lies.

Yuwon had also heard it through rumors.

A weirdo who mixes lies in everything he says.

When I first heard it, I just thought it was the ‘Lord of Lies’.

And that sentiment did not change even now that I was looking into Belial’s eyes in front of me.

Sigh-.

Belial’s gaze returned.

His eyes looked at Yuwon.

-Who is this guy next to me….

“Stop pretending you don’t know.”

Mamos cut off Belial.

OK.

Gugugugugu-.

One eye opens, and a demon with long arms and legs walks out of it.

A demon wearing a half mask with a face that looks just like Mamos.

I knew at least the face.

‘Belial.’

The Lord of Lies has appeared.

Yuwon bowed his head towards him.

“Greetings from player Kim Yu-won.”

“…?”

Belial with a puzzled expression.

When Yuwon looked up after saying hello and looked puzzled, Belial opened his mouth with a very strange expression.

“It’s different from what I heard from Diablo?”

Diablo.

A high ranker of the same Demon Lord and a demon with the greatest power in the guild Demon Lord.

Among the demon kings, he was the only one who had some level of contact with Yuwon.

However, Belial felt that the image of Yuwon he heard from Diablo was different from what he saw before his eyes.

“Because you are Mamos’ father.”

That was the reason Yuwon was polite to Belial.

“As your older brother, you can’t be embarrassed, can you?”

“I’m being polite because I’m Mamos’ father, not because I’m Belial?”

It was a story I had never heard before.

Those who bow to themselves after becoming one of the leaders of the Demon King are all bowing before their own power.

Yuwon’s head did not bow to such things.

“If it weren’t for what Diablo said, I would have thought it was nonsense.”

Even though Yuwon was an alter ego, he was a confident person even against Diablo.

There was no reason not to believe it.

“Then I guess I’ll have to treat you as my son’s guest too.”

Belial turned around.

Immediately after, he walked into the snow.

“Come in.”

Jeopuk-.

Belial’s appearance disappeared.

Belial spoke unilaterally and then unilaterally disappeared.

Mamos looked back at Yuwon with a worried expression.”

“I’ll tell you in advance, my father is a man steeped in lies.”

“I know.”

“It would also be a lie to say that I would treat you as my son’s guest.”

Yuwon nodded.

From the very moment Belial appeared, Yuwon was using Hwaan Geumjeong.

‘You have to stay alert.’

The opponent was the lord of lies.

He may be inferior to Zeus in resourcefulness and trickery, but he is much better than him in deceiving others with lies.

No matter how much I was using Hwaan Geumjeong, I still wouldn’t be able to see through all of his lies.

Jeopuk-.

Yuwon walked behind Belial.

And that moment.

[Entered the ‘Room of Lies’.]

Pitch-black darkness enveloped Yuwon.

A pitch-black darkness that makes it difficult to see even an inch ahead.

Mamos, who followed, was nowhere to be seen. They had already entered Belial’s territory.

-I like questions and answers.

Belial’s voice.

The treat was, of course, a lie. Even though I came in knowingly, I felt uncomfortable just because the other person tried to deceive me.

-From now on, when I ask you one thing, you also ask me one thing. We can mix lies and truth in each other’s answers.

A very excited voice.

This was Belial’s entertainment.

‘It has begun.’

Belial’s question and answer method.

It was a fairly well-known game among high-ranking demons. As the lord of lies, Belial enjoyed telling stories mixing truth and lies.

Yuwon visited Belial for this.

Just to have a question and answer with him.

-There are more rules. After telling one lie, you must tell the truth next time. Of course, this is only when the other person sees through the lie.

“What happens if what you thought was a lie turns out to be true?”

-Then you will have to take the penalty for making a mistake. He must tell the truth in response to the other person’s next question. how is it? Sounds fun, right?

[Do you want to accept Belial’s question-and-answer method?]

A conversation that mixes lies and truth.

However, it is impossible to know what lies are in the process. If you identify the lie, you will know that the next answer is the truth, but to do so, you must first see through the lie.

This means that it is a conversation where everything can feel like a lie until you know which one is a lie.

“It will be fun.”

Belial’s lies.

And it is the battle of Hwaan Geumjeong.

A battle to see which side is better and whose mind works faster.

This was more advantageous for Yuwon than competing with the demon king Belial with strength and power.

-I ask first. What is your purpose here?

It was a question with no reason to lie.

Yuwon answered.

“It’s because I want to fight together with the Demon King.”

Even though Yuwon told the truth, he hid the truth in his answer.

fight together

I couldn’t tell from this answer whether it meant that he wanted to join the Demon King in Muspelheim or if he wanted to drag the Demon King into Asgard.

One answer makes the other person discard one question.

A fight involving words, spears, swords and shields.

“Now it’s my car.”

-You know how to do a little bit.

There is a nasal sound in the voice as if it is fun.

Yuwon slowly opened his mouth.

“Does the Demon King intend to intervene in the war?”

-The devil goes wherever there is blood. Is it my car now? Which side do you plan on joining, Asgard or Muspelheim?

“Asgard. This is my car. The Demon King is in Muspelheim….”

A series of meaningless questions and answers.

Yuwon and Belial were careful about asking and answering each other’s questions. This is because if you tell a lie even once and are detected, you cannot escape the next question.

You should also be careful about telling lies.

You also have to confuse the other person by mixing in undetected lies.

Only then will you be able to find the meaning of this question and answer.

‘There will be no end to this.’

Yuwon realized that they were protecting each other.

You have to shake the plate.

To that end, asking questions like the present is not enough.

then.

“What kind of son is Mamos to you?”

-….

Unlike before, the answer did not come right away.

Because it was a completely different question from what I expected.

This is it.

Yuwon breathed magical power into Hwaan Geumjeong and looked at Belial in the darkness.

“Where did the demon who was answering questions go?”

-He is there, but he’s not good enough… He’s a poor son.

[‘Hwaan Geumjeong’ sees through the lie.]

Hwareuk-.

Yuwon’s eyes, looking into the pitch-black darkness, burned.

A very brief disturbance.

That gap was enough. Belial’s lies were revealed in the eyes that were looking for lies and truth.

‘This answer is surprising.’

I knew Mamos was Belial’s sore finger.

Otherwise, Belial would probably have created a bloodline by having several sons like other demon kings.

Despite this, Mamos grew up without any particular love from Belial. Yuwon thought there must be a good reason for that.

But up to this point, Belial had used the opportunity to lie.

“It’s false.”

[I detected the lie.]

[Belial’s next answer will always come back as the truth.]

I could feel Belial’s agitation.

I can’t believe I’m throwing away the opportunity to lie like this.

When it came to Mamos, it seemed like lies were always coming out.

‘Thanks to you, the questions and answers became easier.’

Identifying one clear lie.

That was the task Yuwon had to achieve in this question and answer.

The initiative, which had not moved to either side, was tilted towards Yuwon.

“Ask a question.”

Like the answer, the question did not follow immediately.

Your next answer must be the truth.

Belial was agitated, perhaps because of the burden or the fact that he, the Lord of Lies, had lost the question and answer test.

-How did you come here?

It was a fairly comprehensive question.

It was evidence that he was embarrassed.

If you give a general answer like ‘I did my best,’ you will be able to skip the question.

but.

Yuwon was actually waiting for this question.

“I know everything that will happen. Even the outcome of this war.”

-It’s a lie.

Of course, Belial denied Yuwon’s answer.

A being who knows everything.

It was the belief that there could not be such a being who even knew the outcome of the war between Asgard and Muspelheim.

but.

[Kim Yu-won’s answer is ‘the truth’.]

[Belial must tell the truth to two questions.]

-…What?

The question and answer method showed that Yuwon’s words were true.

It was a question and answer method that involved the power of the system.

Even if you were an administrator, you couldn’t fool the system. No matter how high the ranking, even a high ranker was not free from the power of the system.

The system revealed that Yuwon’s words were true.

Belial’s right to ask questions was over. Next it was Yuwon’s turn.

But Yuwon’s answer didn’t end there.

“I know the outcome of this war.”

I know everything.

Even the outcome of the war.

It was true up to this point.

Plus.

“The war will end with the defeat of Muspelheim.”

Yuwon’s added spoonful of lies shook the devil’s decision.
