Regressing with the King’s Power - Chapter 671

Part 2 Episode 87

[Are you feeling okay?]

[Sorry for worrying you.]

[No. If you are able to survive despite facing a guy like that, you should be proud.]

[….]

Bordeaux bowed his head at Hazard’s cold assessment.

Some time has passed since Asmodeus visited and fought a fierce battle with Lord.

The battle was so intense that the entire terrain was destroyed, but the result was a draw.

Afterwards, they went into the rare and talked as if nothing had happened.

Bordeaux was crushed by their spirit and could only watch like a dog.

The problem is that his status has been damaged by the power of Hazard and Asmodeus.

Bordeaux realized that his great power was fading away with each passing day.

That’s why Hazard asked about his physical condition.

The Dragon Lord is a being who protects seven clans.

To help someone like that, you have to be at the level of an elder in the clan.

Bordeaux planned to hand over the position to his son, Regiel, who was mentioned as the next head.

[I will soon select someone to replace me. Take care.]

[I understand.]

[….]

‘After meeting him, Rod became quieter.’

He only occasionally asks about things happening in the underworld, but most of the time he spends time alone, contemplating, and drinking tea.

Since she did not attend the subsequent head meetings, Bordeaux had to conduct them.

[The disappearance of Diablo and Beelzebub, which was reported earlier, seems certain.]

[Hoo. Those bastards were truly defeated by the Fairy King. What’s the news about that guy?]

I don’t know that that guy is referring to Asmodeus.

Bordeaux looked apologetic.

[Because he is such a newbie… there has been no information received yet. However, there is a rumor that the demon race will soon engage in a battle of ten thousand demons.]

A battle of ten thousand demons.

Hazard, who did not know the meaning, showed interest.

[If it’s true, he’ll participate too.]

[Why do you think that?]

[Even if it’s called a strange entity called a demon dragon. Where can the roots go?]

[If that’s the case…]

[Okay. If he were to enter a battle of ten thousand demons, the ancient great devils would be no match for him.]

[….]

Many ancient great devils came to mind in Bordeaux’s memories.

Among them, there may be some who awaken to become the next Demon King, but Hazard’s assessment was that they would not be a match for Asmodeus.

[I may have to form an alliance with the demons soon.]

[…!!]

Bordeaux looked surprised at the sudden words.

Slurp.

Hazard was just concentrating on drinking his tea.

* * *

The Colosseum installed in Famine Hell.

Gilpere, who was hiding in the corner of the audience,’s red eyes sank.

[….]

She quietly glanced at the five great devils who had appeared for the battle against all demons.

Mamon, the great devil of ‘Gluttony’.

Mephisto, the great evil of ‘soul’.

Asura, the great evil of ‘struggle’.

Phaedo, the great devil of ‘Adoration’.

and.

Asmodeus, the great evil of ‘Betrayal’.

‘I never thought that guy would show up.’

Gilper did not show any signs and quietly observed him.

Six perfectly placed horns and huge wings and tail.

Although the power cannot be determined, the momentum flowing out is unusual.

Perhaps you can think of him as having already achieved the status of a perfect demon king.

What’s surprising are the other guys.

Mammon Mephisto Ashura Phaedon.

Unlike before, they all had six horns and were watching the uninvited guest with interest.

‘Did each person grow in their own way?’

I know about the methods used by Mammon and Mephisto.

For a long time, they devoured the demons under Diablo.

In the case of Mammon, he used gluttony to physically digest it, while Mephisto subjugated the soul and used it as a sacrifice for his own growth.

‘Poison’ and ‘fear’.

Over a long period of time, he accumulated the powers of the two demon kings little by little in his body, and he must have succeeded in reaching the realm of the demon kings not long ago.

It was a method that had been successful once in the past.

‘This time, we reached the original horse earlier than expected.’

She saw Phaedo.

Brothers who formed the most prosperous force among the surviving Great Evils under Diablo.

He also succeeded in making the Demon King’s vessel in a short period of time.

Worship is a relatively mild power. If we accepted all the forces opposing Mammon and Mephisto, it would not be impossible to awaken the six horns.

And Ashura.

The corner of her mouth went up at the sight of her not hiding her speculation.

He is currently branded a traitor among the demons.

Nevertheless, he proudly came to the famine hell and participated in the Manma Battle.

Even the devils who were booing him seemed to be silent about the six horns on his head.

‘Even though he was defeated by his brother, does his fighting spirit still remain?’

Unlike Mammon Mephisto, he awakened six horns of his own will.

Obeying Taehyeon, he attained enlightenment, and the fighting spirit fueled by the vacant position of Demon King may have also played a role.

There are four imperfect demon kings. In addition, he himself recently achieved the status of demon king.

What if the Demon War ended as planned and the Great Demons grew using the Divine Beasts?

At least ten demon kings may have been born.

The aspects of turf wars and ethnic wars would have changed.

but.

‘Things aren’t going well right now.’

Her eyes turned again to the uninvited guest.

It’s not an ancient archdemon. A demon that did not belong to Beelzebub and Diablo.

The Irregular regains his strength by acting more secretly than he is.

The key to the Battle of Ten Thousand Demons will be how much strength he has regained.

‘This might be the first time I have to worry about my brothers.’

At the same time as those thoughts, Mamon unfolded ‘Purgatory’.

* * *

Purgatory.

A realm of its own, completed by Mamon, who reached the rank of Demon King.

It is a power with an influence comparable to Beelzebub’s Dominion Zone or Diablo’s Fear Zone.

Pussssss-.

Mamon’s magic spread out in the form of white smoke and reached the demons in the audience.

Regardless of rank, the demons who participated to watch the Battle of Ten Thousand Demons began to fall one by one.

This is because of the hallucinogenic effects of purgatory.

At the same time, Mephisto’s presence next to him began to increase.

[Brothers. [You’re pulling an interesting trick.]

Asura giggled and swung his six weapons.

The approaching fog disperses due to a gust of wind.

Phaedon also flapped his wings to get out of range, and Asmodeus appeared to be quietly enveloped in fog.

[I heard it was a battle of ten thousand horses. It was a trap after all.]

Phaedo soared into the sky and shouted, creating wind.

This is because it was discovered that Purgatory was not used by Mammon alone. The enormous magical power was deeply imbued with Mephisto’s magical power.

[You have good eyesight.]

Mamon grinned and spread his arms.

He was defeated in the first battle of all demons and went under Beelzebub.

Afterwards, I thought and experimented countless times about how I could reach the Demon King.

And among the demons, the one who got along especially well was Mephisto.

They created bodies that could withstand extreme poison, modified their minds to withstand fear, and gradually increased their physical and mental existence by combining gluttony with their souls.

Unexpectedly, an opportunity arose when two demon kings disappeared at the same time.

10,000 won battle.

The demons who were possessed by that holy name were to become sacrifices to give birth to a new demon king today.

‘I knew that Phaedo and Asura would participate in the war.’

They are great demons who have been recognized by the Demon King since ancient times and have been steadily increasing their presence through their own methods.

This is because it is a natural behavior to jump in to take over the vacant position of Demon King.

There was only one variable here that he could not figure out.

‘Asmodeus.’

He turned his gaze to the person who had reached Purgatory and was observing the situation.

It was a name I had never heard before.

I’ve never heard of anyone reaching that level, let alone an ancient arch-devil.

Where did a guy like that suddenly pop out?

There was no need to ask such questions.

Anyway, once today’s Battle of the Ten Thousand Demons is over, the only ones who will maintain their status as demon kings are themselves and Mephisto.

Because there will only be two left.

[You let your guard down.]

Mammon muttered as he looked at Asmodeus, who was unable to escape from purgatory.

If he had experience fighting numerous battles, he would have instinctively avoided reaching Purgatory.

Like Ashura or Phaedo before my eyes.

[I’ll let Bonma take charge of Phaedon.]

[Giggles. In that case, the fight belongs to the real horse.]

Immediately afterwards, a battle worthy of the name “Manma Battle” began.

Demon kings who awakened their six horns in their own way.

As they collided, the scattered magic splashed onto the demons in the Colosseum, hastening their extinction.

The tense game was gradually tilting towards Mammon and Mephisto.

[It’s boring.]

Asmodeus, who was watching the battle between the four demon kings in Purgatory, yawned.

Before the four demon kings could react to the sudden movement.

Kiiii-.

A sharp noise reached my ears.

Kagagak-gagagak- ugh geuggeuk-.

It wasn’t long before they realized that the noise was the sound of Asmodeus’ thorns digging into their skin.

Before I knew it, the four thorns that tore through the space were touching the body of the four demon kings.

[…!!]

[…!!]

[…!!]

[…!!]

Asura struck away the thorns with his six weapons.

Mamon opened his mouth to eat the thorn.

Phaedo moved at high speed to evade Mephisto and attacked Asmodeus directly.

and.

The moment when it feels like something huge has been swung around.

Tsk tsk.

Mephisto was thrown to the floor of the Colosseum.

Asmodeus, with his six-pronged tail open, was trampling Mephisto.

Phew.

His thorn got stuck in Mephisto’s magic stone.

There were no screams of death or groans of pain.

Mephisto’s movements, which trembled for a moment, calmed down.

[…Mephisto.]

[….]

[…!!]

The fog of purgatory has cleared.

Asmodeus bared his teeth and twitched his thorns.

Not long after.

The three fallen demon kings were lying on the floor of the Colosseum.

* * *

Silence.

Those words would be appropriate to describe the current situation.

Approximately 50% of the demons that touched purgatory were extinguished, and those who escaped purgatory and survived appeared speechless from shock.

‘It’s dangerous.’

Gilfer’s red eyes trembled slightly.

The reason I am watching the Battle of Ten Thousand Demons is so that I can get my hands on the bodies of the four demon kings in the future.

With the level she has achieved, it is not difficult to steal the corpses of demon kings in a melee.

That’s what I decided.

‘If you reveal yourself now, you must prepare for extinction.’

In order to survive Asmodeus, who stands alone, you need that level of determination.

Should you watch the situation a little longer and try to retrieve the body, or should you run away right now?

This is when she is concerned about rational feasibility.

[What are you doing there?]

[…!!]

Gilper instinctively swung his thorn.

Kyaang!!

The thorns that were pushing through the space were blocked by her thorns.

and.

dump.

Asmodeus, who had already flown in and landed next to her, poked his head in.

[The original horse was waiting for you.]

Gilper, King of the Underworld.

Asmodeus’ twisted mouth was smiling.
