Regressing with the King’s Power - Chapter 439
Episode 439:
Mammon growled at Lucifer’s arrogance.
The man in front of me is Cody Cruz.
This is because he does not know that he has hunted quite a few great devils.
[You… are you making fun of your
original demon?] Are you telling me, who has ascended to the throne of the demon race, to fight against my contractor and prove my worth?
[Is there anything that won’t work?]
Lucifer asked with a wry smile.
He said he didn’t need to worry about Mamon.
[If you cannot prove your worth, you will be eliminated.]
He said this calmly, as if he had the right to decide the fate of other species.
Crack.
Mammon’s face was distorted like that of a murderer.
Fallen angel Lucifer.
I know very well that the guy from the merchant world is especially arrogant among the princes.
Because he showed such signs several times in the past at meetings of the Grand Dukes.
Beelzebub also repeatedly refused to unite with Lucifer, saying that he was an indescribable bastard.
Nevertheless, the reason I had expectations was because I thought things had changed.
It was because he might have sensed a crisis in Kim Tae-hyun’s actions.
That was why Jormungand found Lucifer first, even though he and Asura suggested a way to become a complete master.
Even though his arrogance was excessive, I thought he was much more trustworthy than that despicable guy.
It wasn’t.
[If I had known this would happen, I would have had no reason to come to you.]
Mamon turned around, saying he wasted time.
The battle with Cody Cruz was not even considered.
[Are you trying to join hands with Jormungand even now?]
[…It’s none of your business.]
[Yes. What happens to trash is none of my business. However.]
Lucifer revealed his ugly gray magic power.
[I allowed you to enter this place, but I don’t want to allow you to leave.]
[…Are you going to try it?]
Mammon also revealed the vicious speculation he had been suppressing all along.
Even if he has not reached full grand dukedom, he is still the best warrior of the demon race.
He was not reckless enough to come to the enemy camp without any preparation.
Even though he knew this, Lucifer didn’t seem to care.
I told myself that the most important thing right now was to confirm the usefulness of my contractor.
[What are you doing? Instead of cleaning up that trash.]
It’s like he’s obeying the king’s orders.
Tsuzzzzzz.
Cody Cruz raised a sword formed of gray magical energy.
Wow.
The gray wings that had been hidden all along were revealed.
A magical power so dense that he could no longer be considered human flowed from his body.
[I guess it wasn’t just a rumor that they said they hunted an archdemon.]
Mammon showed interest belatedly.
However, I needed to get a confirmation before that.
[If the original demon reveals its power, this place will not be safe either. Make a promise.]
No matter how the battle goes, don’t get involved.
He said that if he did so, he would sincerely deal with the person in front of him.
[That is truly a willing thing to say.]
I will do so.
Lucifer chuckled and agreed.
Only then did Mamon reveal his hideous magical power.
‘Gluttony’, the original power.
And the power ‘poison’ that did not disappear even after Beelzebub disappeared.
I transplanted Diablo’s horn there and made it my own, the power ‘Fear’.
The purple and red magic power that radiated out steadily strangled Cody Cruz.
Wow!!
In an instant, the body that was pointing the sword at him turned into a lump of blood.
Power concentration.
A high-level technology that condenses and unleashes enormous power.
It was a power that could only be used by beings with multiple powers.
[You broke your favorite toy. What should I do with this?]
Mamon clicked his tongue and provoked Lucifer.
However, Lucifer’s reaction was different from expected.
[Don’t jump to conclusions.]
A sneer appeared on his lips, which I thought would be a frown.
at the same time.
Tsuzzzzzzzz.
Cody Cruz’s body, which had been completely torn apart, began to ‘regenerate’.
[What an interesting remnant.]
Mammon is the power of Diablo.
‘Fear’ was strengthened.
It might not be as good as what he handled in his prime, but I thought it would be no problem to restrain the Archduke’s toy.
But.
Even though I am receiving the power head-on.
The person in front of me didn’t seem to feel any fear of his body exploding moments ago.
[….]
Mamon strengthened his red eyes in response to a different reaction than expected.
It was different from a little while ago.
Thanks to the power of regeneration, the gray magic power flowing throughout the body could be seen more clearly.
I was able to confirm.
I already knew that the guy in front of me was no ordinary human being.
However, it was not like a top-class monster.
Half human, half heaven.
or.
[Half-Heaven, Half-Demon.]
Cody Cruz’s human body was more like that of a fallen Elyos similar to Lucifer than that of a monster.
A fusion with the Elyos that no one has ever succeeded in in the underworld.
Lucifer succeeded in the experiment, which was thought to be impossible, using the body of his contractor.
[He… he has bad tastes.]
[Thank goodness he recognizes me.]
Lucifer burst out laughing, wondering what was so fun about it.
The intention hidden behind that smile was so cold.
[Power concentration. What happened next?]
Even though I obtained the power of fear.
gulp.
Mamon swallowed dry saliva without realizing it.
* * *
Pazzu that is!!
A huge gate opened in the middle of the sky castle.
From there, high-ranking and highest-ranking monsters poured out.
Lucifer, who did not know that it was Mammon’s doing, had a scared expression on his face.
[I was wondering what the point of trust was. Was it just this kind of talent? The demon race has truly become insignificant. In ancient times, they at least pretended to have spirit.]
Despite the blatant ridicule, Mammon did not take the bait.
just.
[Shut up.]
I just controlled my magic while cursing.
Otherwise, there was a high possibility that he would fail due to the injuries he received from Cody Cruz.
The sound of the monsters flooding into the sky castle and Lucifer’s minions clashing was heard.
Lucifer’s minions are not many in number, but they are all made up of Elyos who were demolished in the past.
Its power is such that it ranks first among the highest species.
The monsters coming through the gate were no match for him.
[Mamon. You’ve always planned with retreat in mind. Beelzebub is the reason why that idiot was able to rule over the demon race, but in the end, it is also why he was unable to end the turf war even with the largest power.] Lucifer spoke as if he was giving a great lesson
.
Hearing the ridicule, Mammon unleashed his magic power with all his might.
Beyond the gate in the distance.
He could vividly feel the body of the contractor he had marked.
[Lucifer. [You will always regret what happened today.]
He said that he would be held responsible for treating him like this for not joining hands with the demon tribe.
With those words, Mamon’s body was engulfed in magic and disappeared.
It must have moved through a gate far away.
[The subject is trying to run away, but his mouth is still alive.] He
said it was funny how a person who calls himself a king preserves his life by sacrificing his subordinates.
[I guess your sword was light. Isn’t that right?]
“….”
Cody Cruz was silent in response to Lucifer’s question.
[I regenerated the severed tongue, but why is there no answer?]
Despite Lucifer’s orders, Cody Cruz just bowed his head with empty eyes.
[Tsk tsk. I don’t think my plan to create a heavenly person will come true easily.]
Playing the key between the King of the Lower World and the King of the Upper World is not as easy as I thought.
That’s when he was muttering to himself.
Suddenly, a murderous look appeared in Lucifer’s eyes.
[How long do you plan on spying?]
There was silence for a moment.
Ssssss.
A man wearing a monster mask appeared in the place where Mammon disappeared.
[Since when did you notice…?]
[Does that matter? Anubis, the absolute ruler of the 10 heavens.]
Lucifer revealed the man’s identity in a cold voice.
[If you understand that far… Could it be that you have recovered your status as an Elyos?]
Anubis did not deny his status.
I’m just confirming my own thoughts about an unexpected situation.
It was a reasonable suspicion.
At the time when Lucifer reigned as the absolute ruler of the upper world, he had not yet ascended to the position of absolute ruler.
It was only recently, a considerable amount of time had passed since the last race war, that Anubis ascended to the throne of the absolute.
So, Lucifer knows this.
[It means that even the lower world was aware of the news from the upper world.]
[Isn’t there something you wanted to say?]
[Aren’t you telling me to fight that guy?]
He responded to Lucifer’s attitude of not answering his questions. He asked back, pointing at Cruz.
This is because I watched how they treated Mammon.
[Do you want me to do that?]
[…No, there is no need to cause friction with you. Master of the 10 heavens. I will only tell you what he said and leave.]
Lucifer nodded as if asking me to speak.
An absolute ruler of the heavenly world who is evaluated on the same level as the great duke of the lower world.
The master who stands out among them and rules over the heavenly world to which I belong.
[Osiris wants you to become the King of the Underworld.]
[Impossible.]
[…If you regain your original power, no one will be able to stop you, right? When it comes to regaining strength, Osiris…]
[Wrong. Don’t you guys have different plans?]
[…?]
[Asmodeus and Kim Tae-hyun. From the moment those guys called keys appeared, I thought it was unusual.]
[…]
Anubis closed his mouth as if telling him to continue speaking.
[Isn’t there a problem with the King of the Upper World and the King of the Lower World?]
[…!!]
[That Osiris guy. As if eating the 10 heavens wasn’t enough, he’s also aiming for the position of King of the Upper World… He’s still running wild without knowing the subject.] [
Indeed…. Just as I heard, the answer is God’s favorite archangel….]
[Shut up.]
Lucifer The mouth of the Absolute was sealed by blooming gray magic power.
[….]
[All you can say here are answers to questions. So, tell me the truth.]
Contrary to the sunken red eye.
Lucifer’s blue eyes glowed with a bright light.
[The King of Upper World and the King of Lower World. What are those damned guys doing now?]
* * *
[I can’t believe they caught the Demon King like that. [This is extraordinary execution ability.]
The Elven rarely praised Beelzebub as if he was satisfied with his end.
“I never expected that Gilfer’s power would have such potential.”
[okay. [He has achieved a level of stature and presence worthy of the new Demon King.]
The Elven glanced at Gilfer, who was training with Rosaria to completely control Beelzebub’s power.
This is because there is no place like the world of images to perfectly handle the six powers.
“It’s too early to relax. Igmun Jormungand Lucifer. “I don’t know how these guys will remove the Underworld King’s spell.”
[Don’t worry too much. Thanks to your growth, didn’t Bonyo’s strength come back a little more?]
“That’s strength.”
[Rather than that, the current contractor might try ‘that’.]
“That…?”
The Elven of the past also transcended the power of the Archduke and became aware of it only after borrowing the power of the Divine Beast.
[Void log.]
“Void log?”
The Elven nodded.
She briefly explained about Void Rock.
It is said that everything that happens in the upper and lower worlds is recorded, and if you ask any question, you can find the answer.
