My Alter Ego’s Path to Greatness - Chapter 392
〈 The Descendance of the Demon King (1) 〉
Kwaaang—!
“Kill!”
“How dare you tell me where these rats who have been running away all this time are!”
“For Hela!”
Loud noises came from all directions.
The unique scent of the battlefield bubbles and vibrates along with it.
In all areas where the fighting took place, the frenzy of struggle and determination came together to create a splendid flower of death.
Normally, Sipar would have gone with the flow and had a wild party, but…
[…What are you guys?]
I just couldn’t do that now.
The energy radiating from the beings in front of him was too much to pay attention to on the other side.
“Kahahaha—!”
With a mocking cry, the strangely shaped four-legged animal bared its teeth.
A pair of long, extended tusks like a saber-toothed tiger and countless teeth protruding closely gave off a sharp light.
With a snake-like tongue writhing in the middle of it all.
‘What on earth is that?’
It is about 3 meters tall and 5 meters long.
The creature, which had a rich dark red mane and a whole body covered with thick muscles and carapace, had an indescribable appearance, as if all the wild beasts and demonic beasts in the world were combined into one.
It’s so bad that even Duke Goerang, the pinnacle of all beast-type monsters, can’t even get a feel for it.
However, just because he was much smaller than me, he was by no means someone I could ignore.
Because Sipar’s instincts had been sounding the alarm since a while ago.
Of course, even if that wasn’t the case, anyone could not help but think that when they saw Odd Eyes, overflowing with appetite and madness, and the drool dripping from their mouths.
That beast now sees itself as prey.
And maybe… if you let your guard down, you might actually get eaten.
[dare! How dare you look at this Duke of Guerrang with such eyes! I’ll chew your whole head off and eat it!]
Of course, Sipar did not take it kindly.
A distorted head that continuously explodes with anger.
But the problem wasn’t just the monster.
[Crrr— Is the author the 14th Demon King?]
[No, that can’t be possible. She’s definitely dead. Already over a thousand years ago!]
[But even if it’s still imperfect, that’s definitely the Demon King…]
[Then he’s the new Demon King? The 16th Demon King? Now, all of a sudden?!]
[…If that’s true, what happens to us? What on earth have we been fighting so far…!]
A figure sitting calmly on the back of a strange beast.
The woman, who was extremely slender compared to not only Siphar, who was nearly 10 meters tall, but also the monster she was riding, smiled softly.
I raised my head and looked up at the three heads in confusion.
“Huh~ Indeed. “Is this a peacock-level demon?”
A beautiful singing voice flowed from between her red lips along with a light snort.
“It’s definitely amazing, but…”
Her black and red eyes sparkled.
Hela is looking at the giant Cerberus with a strange look, as if evaluating it.
It didn’t take long for the appraisal results to come out.
“Still, if it’s like this… it’s just mediocre. “It wouldn’t have mattered much if I had come alone.”
Although it was an absurd negative review from Sipar’s point of view.
“Duke the strange dog. Are you a bit inferior to other dukes? Or maybe I’m particularly lucky…”
“Kakakakaka!”
“Or did I overestimate the level of the demon world?”
The harsh words that did not match the captivating voice and lively tone of voice poured out as if they were chopping up the opponent.
And even a strange laughter sound that seems to agree with him.
It didn’t even include the slightest consideration for the listeners.
[…….]
[……..]
The heads of Sipar, who were talking noisily among themselves, all closed their mouths.
The same goes for the distorted head that was wildly glowing up until now.
He was one of the dukes who were, by name and name, the pinnacle of the current demon world.
There’s no way he would fall for such a cheap provocation and end up having a hard time, right?
There’s no need to argue, just—.
[I’ll kill you!]
[Kuhuhuhhh—!] Just
get rid of everything you don’t like!
Quang!
Sipar, who crouched in an instant, shot out like a spring.
At the same time, its overwhelming size ignored all physical phenomena and tore everything in a straight line apart.
Rumbling—!
The subordinates on both sides were caught in the aftermath and were thrown away like pebbles, vomiting blood.
The leaders had already sensed this when the confrontation began and were retreating far away, but in the face of this overwhelming destruction, that distance was impossible.
As if it didn’t care whether it was its home base or not, all directions around the place where the body passed directly became ruins in an instant.
“…He has a dirty temper. “If I grow something like that, there won’t be any furniture left in the house.”
“Kahat!”
However, the surprise attack did not cause any significant damage to the target.
Beauty and the Beast grumbles as they deviate from the attack path.
Sipar crouched again for a follow-up attack.
“As expected, some corrections are needed.”
Right after that.
The world has turned upside down.
[…?!]
The noise of the battlefield coming from all directions disappeared.
The well-maintained scene of the Abnormal headquarters was erased, and the devastated land spread out widely.
A dry wilderness suddenly covered the surrounding area.
“The World of the Demon Lord”
The world of the Demon Lord, who was activated solely to target Sipar, was overlaid on the Demon World.
And this barren landscape with nothing in it.
Sipar, who has lived for a long time, has also experienced this several times a long time ago.
[…Abandoned land?]
[Lerayeeee—!]
[As expected! you! What is your relationship with the 14th Demon King? How on earth!]
The three heads roared, and the snake head on the tail hissed repeatedly.
Powerful magical energy exploded from its gigantic body, causing an earthquake and a storm to rage.
In the aftermath, “The World of Macheon” began to creak little by little.
‘Oh, anyway, running wild like an animal without hesitation. ‘I wouldn’t have done it if I hadn’t installed this in advance.’
Hela, who had stabilized it again by pouring in her magic, clicked her tongue lightly.
She had no enemies or allies and everyone was a potential subordinate to her, who was planning to swallow Abnormal whole after clearing out Duke Goerang.
Therefore, it is only natural that Sipar, who plays the game without even caring about the damage to his side, looks displeased.
“I guess there’s a lot you want to ask?”
Hela, who was sitting on the monster’s back, jumped down from it.
Then, he patted his dependable side and opened his mouth.
“Then I’ll tell you when you beat my kid. “Everything you want to know.”
The bright smile that comes with him.
However, the vicious whip full of thorns held in that hand was enough to make even the bright air feel gloomy.
“Of course, I don’t know if it’s possible. “Our cutie is a specialist in this field.”
—Hunting big monsters like you.
Hela continued speaking softly, then laughed and hit the whip on the floor.
Sigh—!
Fragments of the earth scattering with a bitter sound.
“There’s a lot to do, so let’s finish it quickly.”
She stretched out one hand and pointed at Sipar, who stood in front of her like a mountain, and shouted.
“good! Davidson! bite!”
“Kakakakat—!”
Not Harley, the mercenary king who was dispatched to the Demon World on that order and thoroughly disguised himself to hide his identity.
‘Davidson, the monster of gluttony’ summoned by Hela roared wildly and rushed to the front.
Ttuk-duk-duk-duk-duk!
In that split second, your body expands several times in size.
Davidson, who had caught up to Sipar’s size in an instant, opened his mouth wide.
[I’ll tear you to death!]
[I’m the Demon King now, and it doesn’t matter! I can just eat it right here!]
Kwaaaang—!
And so the giant monster clash began.
***
Kugugoogung!
Not only did Davidson not utter a single word, but he also strictly maintained the appearance of a quadrupedal beast.
[You can’t believe it regenerates even after being torn by my teeth! What kind of guy is this!]
[Whoa! Get away! Throw away!]
“Kahahaha!”
[Crrr— Resistant to my poison?]
Harley, who was now the king of mercenaries and the king of fighting, had also become quite a celebrity in Outerica, so it was necessary to pay close attention to even the smallest details.
Even if he is a mercenary who will do anything for a price, isn’t it possible for him to go to the Demon World and help the Demon King when he is being hailed as a hero?
‘Siana probably knows about Harley too. ‘You always have to be careful because you never know where your words may leak.’
Since Harley was a mutant herself, it wasn’t that difficult to disguise her identity if she wanted to.
The end was simply to replace all the basic human elements with the countless monster factors that had been collected.
That’s how the current state was born.
It was Davidson, a gluttonous monster made entirely of external factors.
‘Still, it’s a bit difficult to fight with the possibilities limited and the techniques sealed like this.’
Isn’t the opponent a peacock-level devil standing at the edge of transcendence, where the gap between each other is large?
Moreover, here in the demon world, it had the ability to become even stronger, so it was somewhat difficult to overwhelm it with only physical strength.
Hissing—
Then the snake on Sipar’s tail shot out like a thunderbolt and sunk its fangs into his body.
A deadly poison that instantly spreads throughout the body and melts even the soul.
Davidson’s body quickly adapted and resisted, but he couldn’t help but pause for a split second.
Kwasik! Quad deuk!
Sipar didn’t miss that moment and bit his shoulders with his left and right heads.
The enormous force of the teeth pierced the outer carapace and muscles at once, and blood spurted out.
[Persistent guy! I’ll tear you to shreds so you can’t regenerate!] The
central head with a thick mane and a scar around one eye opened its mouth wide.
Even during the fight, the terrible magic concentrated in its throat vibrated loudly, as if it had been prepared with great care.
Even if it were Davidson, if he was hit directly by that, about half of his body would be blown away.
Wedge—!
The moment when magical power was about to spew out from his mouth.
A sharp sound ripped through the air.
Puhwaak!
Immediately after that, a huge amount of blood poured out like a waterfall flowing backwards, and the boiling magical power was scattered.
[Wow! [Nenoom…!]
The central head, with a third of its gigantic head missing, glared upward with eyes full of anger.
To Hela, who was swimming in the air with a pair of wings flapping.
As he was concentrating on the attack, his defenses weakened and he suffered a blow to the point where not only one eye but also part of his brain disappeared, but as expected from a devil, it seemed that he could not even flinch from that.
“Huh, didn’t I say we would fight one on one?”
Hela frowned and winked at those eyes that felt somewhat unfair.
He lightly shrugged his shoulders as if it was no big deal.
In the first place, he deliberately brought in mercenaries to finish it quickly, but there was no way he would stay still until the one-on-one battle was over!
‘I’ve been watching for a while to measure estimates, but…’
Since this was my first time seeing a Duke-level demon, I needed to take this opportunity to clearly understand its power.
I don’t know about the Duke of Darkness, but the Demon Dragon Duke is definitely much stronger than that Cerberus.
‘I’ve got a rough idea, so this is enough for now.’
As Hela flew high and spread her wings, a huge magic circle appeared on both sides.
Ultra-fast magical power building through “Demon King” and “Magic Control”.
Immediately after, numerous flashes of light rained down and a barrage of whips that could not be clearly observed struck the massive body on the ground.
Shhh! Hiss—! Quang!
[Kaaaa!]
The magic barriers that had been built up without stopping from that attack were cruelly broken, and the wounds steadily piled up.
It wasn’t easy to escape because Davidson was clinging to me so persistently.
‘Is this good? I feel like I’m getting excited about something.’
Of course, the whip she used was also taken from Horus’s “Golden Treasury.”
A weapon presumed to be the Succubus Queen’s favorite weapon.
Ignoring the distance, the elongated whip tore through the space, leaving a fatal wound.
[Ouch! You cowards! Indeed, what he does according to his blood is extremely obscene!]
“Well, if you think about it, there are four heads, right? “Even so, there are twice as many there?”
[What bullshit…!]
“Bullshit… Isn’t self-harm good? No matter how much you pretend to be a wolf, your true nature cannot be deceived.”
[%@#@$#]
While Davidson was using his large body to block the guy’s movements, he was taunting his opponent and attacking with ease, but the destructive power he caused was by no means light.
[Ugh—regeneration…!]
[It’s the power of the 13! After all, that squire must have inherited that power!]
Hela’s trait, “Annihilator,” shattered all of the opponent’s defenses, including his thick magic barrier and vitality, and reduced his regenerative power to the bottom.
Each and every magic attack, including attacks using a whip, is imbued with the power of defense penetration and regeneration suppression.
As a result, the regeneration of the head, which should have been restored to its original state in an instant to a level close to immortality, was still slow.
“Super regeneration” was the most effective ability in dealing with high-ranking demons.
‘One more here.’
Davidson’s eyes sparkled as he and Siphar struggled against each other in the chaos.
Then his body began to wriggle noisily.
Cluck—cluck—!
Copy the opponent’s characteristics that you have collected while fighting.
The properties of the body changed in real time, and only better factors than now were taken and applied to the body.
Selective evolution that only takes advantage of the opponent’s strengths.
‘Is this really a peacock-level devil? Even though I haven’t absorbed any essence, I can’t even compare to low-level demons. Some parts are even better than dragons.’
The peak was something sprouting from around his shoulders.
It started to rise up suddenly and slowly take shape.
It soon became a new head, exactly like the one in the center.
Just like Cerberus in front of him.
[…Hah?!]
[…What is that….]
[Huh? 100 million? What is that? What on earth did you do?!]
Confusion filled the eyes of Sipar, who had been distracted by Hela for a moment.
As a true Cerberus, he knew it right away the moment he saw it.
That is by no means just a copy of the surface; it shares the exact same fundamentals as you.
“Kahahaha!”
“Kakakakat!”
“Khakakat!”
The three heads burst out laughing at the same time, as if laughing at the embarrassed Sipar.
Opening its mouth full of sharp teeth.
A cold ray of ominousness ran up Sipar’s spine as he looked at that scene.
‘Dangerous.’
It was instinct.
It’s different from before.
It’s been threatening enough so far, but it’s something even more deadly.
He had to avoid it somehow…
But now that he was being attacked from up and down like crazy, there was already no room left for him to escape.
[Quaaaagh! What! This again! Argh!]
[Don’t get bitten! That… Ugh!]
[Get off! Get away!!]
The “Shikigami” and “Power of Gluttony” that had been hidden until now, trying to bide the time, began to come into full force.
No defense or regeneration was of any use in front of him.
The harmony of those two abilities means that anything that enters the mouth is eaten regardless of whether it has substance or not, even if it only exists as a concept.
Two more—Through the mouth that became three.
“Ah! Now you’re buying four for one?”
Seeing this, Hela put one hand to her cheek and smiled brightly.
He continued to swing the whip with his other hand.
