Regressor’s Life After Retirement - Chapter 196
—————————————
[ Si-Balaam Suppression Operation (8)-Bunkering ]
The Demon King Castle
is literally a castle where the Demon King resides, but it is also a living creature in itself.
A monster that gradually absorbed the magic power of the most powerful beings in the demon world, grew, and finally acquired spirituality of its own. ‘He
is much older and more powerful than the Holy Fire in the Heavenly Demon Church.’
It is said that the oldest demon castles in the demon world maintained their position even while their owners changed several times.
“This guy isn’t at that level, though.”
The great man walked towards the main gate of the Demon King’s Castle. As Daein approached, the Demon King felt a sense of crisis and began to shake like crazy.
Googoo googung!
Dark clouds swirled, and lightning struck through them. The demonic statues embossed on the castle walls and spires bared their teeth and growled.
Kyaaaaa!
It was a sight I feared would appear in a dream, but the great man did not blink an eye.
Because the sights I saw in the past were much more terrible. The great man chuckled.
“This is cute enough.”
Balaam’s Demon King was not completely summoned.
If it had been summoned in its complete form, it would not have been possible to even approach it with only a few thousand troops.
‘Let alone the autonomous battle mode, the magic turret is not visible and the movement function cannot be used.’
It would be difficult to attack the Demon Castle, which has all of its functions, even with 10 times the number of troops we have now.
So they began their attack quickly without waiting for reinforcements from Seoul.
Compared to the ‘real devil castle’, this one is just a slightly bigger house.
“Because we have to remodel it later. “I won’t break it too badly.”
The great man apologized in advance and pulled out the Heavenly Demon Sword.
Slurp.
When the purple sword body of the Heavenly Demon Sword appeared in the world, the Demon King’s castle, which felt ominous, shook even more.
Gates opened from all directions, demons poured in, and curse-type black magic was activated, targeting Daein.
But none of them reached Daein.
“Team 7, protect the team leader!”
The gigantic Wang Guho and the superhumans of Team 7 dealt with the flocking demonic beasts and said,
“I will stop the black magic.”
Wooooow!
Joo Da-hye’s divine power canceled all types of black magic.
‘It’s convenient because it automatically blocks it.’
Thanks to this, the great man was able to raise his Heavenly Demon skill with great ease.
Wooooow!
The Heavenly Demon Sword in my hand trembled. A purple energy began to flow from the body of the Heavenly Demon Sword.
A sight that had never been seen before.
As he raised his Cheonma Shingong, Daein recalled the story Cheonmugeuk had told him.
-The Heavenly Demon Sword has the property of suppressing demons. However, in order to use that power, the Heavenly Demon Spiritual Skill must reach at least 8 stars.
-Clark. Isn’t it fun? The founder who created the strongest magic sword in the world passed this sword down to his descendants.
“I don’t know if it’s fun, but it’s definitely useful.”
Oooooh!
The purple energy that started from the Heavenly Demon Sword spread beyond the sword and overflowed over Daein’s whole body.
“Whoa…”
The great man took a deep breath and took a stance.
In fact, this is my first time eating herbivorous food.
However, in the sea of unconsciousness where I went down to meet Simma, it was a herbivorous experience that I had seen countless times.
‘But each and every one of the Heavenly Demon Sword Techniques is brutal.’
Thinking about something useless for a moment, the great man swung his sword.
The moment the light exploded from the Great Man’s sword, the Demon King used all his strength to strengthen the main
gate
.
Crash!
The thickness of the black iron gate swelled three times, and the Demon King’s magical power thickly protected it.
As a result, I gained about 1 second.
-Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
The gate exploded and shattered. The great man took a moment to catch his breath and then put the Heavenly Demon Sword back.
Then he walked towards the open castle gate and said:
“let’s go. “Bring your tools.”
“…Four four!”
Those who had been staring blankly behind him began to follow behind him in haste.

Demon Lord Resistance.
On the throne of the highest spire, Balaam was examining the humans who had entered the castle through the magic watch.
[They came in.]
Balaam’s eyes turned to Daein. Demon Lord magnified the great man’s appearance several times.
At that moment, flames sprang up from the Demon King’s eyes. It reminded me of a memory from not long ago.
[How dare a human…!]
The first human to bring shame to the King of the Demon World.
As if that wasn’t enough, a being that imprinted on him an unfamiliar emotion called ‘fear’.
To my shame, the Demon King was so afraid of him that he couldn’t even dare to go outside the castle for a while.
However, if he entered the Demon King’s Castle, it would be a different story.
[Crackling.]
An evil smile appeared on Balaam’s lips. The snake’s tongue hissed slyly.
[Foolish humans. They are so drunk with cheap victory that they are unable to sense the horror that is about to come.]
It was true that the humans were much stronger than expected.
In particular, the person who did not look like the person who had just broken down the castle gate and the woman who displayed divine power so strong that it made people nervous were targets of attention.
[However, you are no match for me here.]
Those foolish humans cannot even imagine, but within the Devil Castle, the power of the Devil King becomes several times stronger.
In other words, their entry into the castle was nothing more than a mass suicide.
[Hurry and come here. That place is still just the entrance to hell. I myself will guide you to the deepest pit of hell!]
-Kwakwakwakwa!
Formidable magical power burst out from Balaam’s body.
The main core of the Demon King’s castle within the castle resonated with Balaam, amplifying his power several times.
[Crack…]
Balaam waited on the throne. I hope that humans will come deep into the Demon King’s castle, even into my inner quarters.
All roads leading to this place were intentionally left clean and empty.
After a while, those people will regret walking into hell.
That should be it…
[…Why isn’t it moving?]
Suspicion appeared in Balaam’s eyes.
The humans weren’t moving at all. They entered the castle, occupied the entrance, and waited in place.
[Are you reorganizing your battle lines? I thought he would get excited and come running right away… but he is calmer than he looks.]
That’s what Balaam thought as he looked at the devil.
That is, until humans quickly set up camp within their own demon castle.
[What…!]
That was just the beginning. While Balaam was looking at the humans who entered the castle through the magic mirror, a roar was heard from outside the devil’s castle.
-Booaaaaaa!
The battle truck that Daein had driven from Seoul quickly entered the Demon King’s Fortress.
After a while, Choi Seong-min and Jang Young-shin got out of the truck.
After the fog surrounding the city was dissipated by Bongmajin, electronic equipment could be used within the city again.
Daein, who foresaw this situation in advance, had Choi Seong-min and Jang Young-shin stand by where the battle truck was, and as soon as the fog disappeared, the two ran after maintaining the truck.
However, for Balaam, who did not know this fact, it was just a series of bewilderment.
[What on earth are you going to do…]
As he watched with his magic mirror, the trailer of the battle truck opened up and down.
Jeeeeee!
The trailer was loaded with all kinds of materials. Soldiers entered the trailer and came out carrying materials.
From then on, full-scale construction began.
Kang! Kang! Kang!
The soldiers began digging with pickaxes and shoveling to create something.
A scene that will be familiar to all Korean reserve forces.
However, it was a shocking scene that I had never seen before for the Demon Lord Balaam.
[What on earth have you done… No way!]
Balaam was one of the most outstanding wizards in the demon world.
It wasn’t that difficult to figure out that what was being created in his front yard was some kind of magic circle.
That magic circle is a magic that suppresses magical energy and amplifies divine power.
It was a miniature version of the Bon Majin installed outside the Demon King’s Castle.
But its power would have been much stronger.
Because Joo Da-hye stood at the center of the method that amplified divine power.
Balaam finally realized the situation and screamed. He was truly embarrassed.
[These guys won’t mind even if I rip them to shreds and kill them! What are you doing inside my castle?]
A terrifying magical energy burst out from Balaam’s body as he stood up from the throne. Balaam immediately waved his staff and performed magic.
Jiiiing! Jiiiing! Jiiiing! Jiiiing!
Jiiiing! Jiiiing! Jiiiing! Jiiiing!
[Kill them!]
Dozens of gates summoned within the castle. The demonic beasts that poured out from within attacked the soldiers at work.
However, there was no significant effect. Ju Da-hye’s divine power still protected them, and superhumans stepped forward to slay the demonic beasts.
earth! earth! Bang, pound, pound!
Meanwhile, the soldiers were building positions and small barracks at an incredible speed.
-Later, the soldiers who participated in the operation called it the ‘front yard bunkering’ operation.
And on one side,
“I’m hungry, let’s eat something.”
Daein took out a large pot from inside the trailer and started boiling dozens of ramen noodles.
Balaam, looking at that figure through the magic mirror, felt like he was going crazy.
[This is such a ridiculous thing…!]
Inside the Demon King’s castle, the Demon King can generate strength several times stronger.
But that only means that it’s close to the main core that exists in the resistance area.
Although it was inside the Demon King’s Castle, it could not exert much power in that area close to the entrance.
In other words, it was dangerous to go there.
So, I was planning to welcome those humans here and exterminate them en masse…
[…Surely they knew everything?]
That couldn’t have been possible. How could a human being know such a thing?
[Then what on earth do you mean!]
Ta-da-dan! Bang, pound, pound!
While Balaam was struggling in confusion, the small bong margin was already more than half completed. The work speed of Korean soldiers exceeded common sense.
[If we leave them like that…]
The future was drawn even without looking.
After completing the magic circle, he moved forward a little, then completed another magic circle there, and then moved forward a little again… [Kaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa where I moved forward a little bit, then completed another magic circle there and then moved forward a little bit again….
[Kaaaaaaaaaaaaah!]
Balaam became impatient. In the end, the Demon King had no choice but to immediately use the trumpet he had saved.
[Wake up! My descendants!]
Tsutsutsutsutsu.
Five lumps of darkness began to gather in front of the throne.
And after a while, five members of the Demon King walked out from the darkness.
The best harvest that Balaam reaped when he came to Earth.
They are strong people who are not inferior at all compared to the relatives in the demon world.
Having these people serve as members of his household was something that could only be said to be good luck for the Demon King.
Balaam gave them a command:
[Go and destroy those humans. I will give you a portion of my power.]
Balaam’s staff touched each of their shoulders and then fell.
Two of the five knelt down on one knee before the Demon King. Although they had lost most of their past memories, their bodies still remembered their actions.
““Jonmyeong.””
One of the remaining two roared, pounding his chest.
Wow!
Another one struck the floor with its long tail. Then the hard floor was crushed like tofu.
Kyaaaaa!
And the last remaining one looked up at the Demon King with red eyes without saying a word.
“…….”
[You stay here. … It seems that the coordination is not yet good.]
After the servants left, Balaam sat down on the throne again. He gritted his teeth as he looked at the humans beyond the demon realm – especially the great humans.
Daein was already eating cooked ramen. The springy noodles were sucked into my mouth.
Balaam trembled at the sight.
[How dare you sweep away everything in my castle!]
The Demon King waved his staff and chanted a spell.
A summoning magic circle was created in front of the humans, demonic beasts poured in, and black magic fell from the sky, disturbing the soldiers.
[Everyone die!]
“…….”
And next to Balaam, Lily was looking into the magic mirror with unfocused eyes.
The girl’s gaze was directed at the man who was eating delicious ramen.
“…Tsk.”
Lily tasted it without even realizing it.

The great man put down his chopsticks and stood up.
“I thought there would be some kind of reaction…”
Daein noticed familiar faces running at great speed from afar.
And then he immediately made an expression of bewilderment.
“What are they? “Are you the Four Heavenly Kings?”
The monkeys Sang-sang and Malang, who had grown into giant blood beasts, were running towards me, spewing out terrifying magical energy.
“Tsk, tsk….”
I could tell just by the way their eyes turned that all four of them were out of their minds.
But the one I thought would come running from the front was nowhere to be seen. I even cooked ramen to lure him out.
“You guys, where did you leave the little boy?”
Instead of answering, the Four Heavenly Kings attacked straight away.
