Regressor’s Life After Retirement - Chapter 299
—————————————
[ Birth of the Demon King (3) ]
Demons are afraid I looked up at the sky with an expression of both excitement and joy.
-Quarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
A huge dragon made of black darkness and a ferocious monster made of flames were fighting together.
The two monsters that filled the sky clashed with the threat of tearing the world apart.
-Kwaaaaaah!
When the dragon of darkness opens its mouth wide and bites the wings of a monster bird
– Kyaaaaa!
The flame monster slashed the dark dragon’s chest with its claws.
“That is Baal’s power…”
“Who is that person who can compete equally with that power?…”
“Ahh…!”
The pressure that had been oppressing the demons had long since disappeared, but they were still unable to move.
Even if I got caught up in their attacks and perished, I was able to watch a fight that was so scary and fascinating.
-Roaring!
-Buncheon-billion!
When the darkness became stronger, the flame weakened for a moment, and when the flame became stronger, the darkness lost its power for a moment.
Because of this, I had the illusion that night and day changed endlessly and the sky and earth turned over several times. The world flickered repeatedly as light and darkness intersected.
Those watching even lost sense of time.
It was hard to tell how many days the fight lasted, or how many hours, or perhaps even just a few minutes.
“Cluck. “I knew that kid had great qualities, but…”
Even Cheonmugeuk, who was proud of martial arts and was higher than anyone else, was speechless at the battle unfolding in the sky.
At one time, Cheon Mu-geuk was confident that his student would become the greatest of all time and modern times.
And after experiencing a second transformation thanks to his student, he decided to take on the challenge himself.
‘I thought the only person who could be my worthy opponent was Daein…’
Cheonmugeuk looked at the girl who set the sky on fire and faced the Demon King.
It was not a power that could be called complete martial arts, but Cheonma was not a man narrow-minded enough to ignore it just because he was dealing with a power he did not know.
“Even I am afraid of your future…” Her
current strength was strong, but considering the speed of her growth, it was impossible to even guess what potential Lily had.
“No need to worry. “Because when I came to the Demon World, the power that was dormant was awakened.”
Abraxas spoke softly from next to me.
Cheon Mu-geuk looked back at her with a puzzled expression.
“A dormant power?”
“Do you know how Lily learned to control flames?”
“…I heard it from my disciple.”
The ‘Fire Child’ was kidnapped by Pandemonium and created through all sorts of terrible human experiments.
“At that time, demon cells would have been transplanted into Lily’s body. He was probably a fairly strong high-ranking demon. “He might have been a guy with enough potential to grow into a demon lord.”
“That means…”
“When we arrived in the demon world, those cells woke up. So, most races become weaker when they come to the demon world, but Lily is the opposite.”
Abraxas quietly looked at Lily, who was controlling the flames in the midst of the flames.
-Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak!
A series of dazzling fireworks exploded in her blue eyes.
“I guess what that kid wanted in the first place was to have that kind of power.”
At one time, the girl cursed the world and herself.
Painful days and his body turning into a monster day by day.
‘Why do I have to be the only one who hurts like this?’
As she spent the night struggling with such questions, a terrible monster must have grown in her mind.
“…On the outside, he seems like an innocent kid who likes food, but deep down in his heart, without even realizing it, he must have been growing a rage that would be enough to set the whole world on fire.”
Since getting to know Lily, Abraxas had often been startled by the darkness this innocent girl sometimes showed.
“But I don’t see that darkness anymore.”
In the past, Abraxas would have opposed this operation.
The plan is to make Lily the new Demon Lord.
If the darkness lurking deep inside the girl’s heart were awakened at that moment…
Cheon Mu-geuk laughed.
“Cluck. “I guess I was worried for no reason.”
“That’s right. “Did I overdo it a bit?”
Together, the two looked at the flames that Lily created.
It was, above all else, a pure and bright flame.
-Bubububububbung!
A flame that is infinitely close to light.
When it touched the flame, the dark dragon created by Baal screamed.
-Kwooooooooo!
The darkness in Lily’s heart had long since melted away like ice cream.
The girl abandoned the darkness and became stronger by overcoming her limits several times.
A talent like a gem was germinating and blooming beautifully.
This is not something that could have been done with overwhelming talent alone, nor with the teachings of outstanding teachers.
That’s right…
“Isn’t it all because we raised them well?”
“Cluck. That guy should have seen that too…”
The moment the two people looked at each other and smiled proudly, the match was decided.
-Kwooooooooo!
The dark dragon raised its head and roared.
Then it turned into dust and dispersed.
Pusssss….
The shape of the dark dragon disappeared and Berit, completely devastated, fell to the ground.
***
Berit, who crashed to the ground, did not move.
Hwiik.
Lily landed in front of him. The girl said as she looked at him lying dead.
“Are you going to surrender now?”
At that moment, black energy flowed out from Berit’s body and formed a single shape.
[Do you think you have defeated me just by defeating this guy?]
The identity of the spirit with a fiercely contorted expression was Baal.
Baal, who descended into Berit’s body and fought, came out as soon as the body became useless.
[Ugh… Baal…]
Berit, who had finally regained control of his body, wriggled. However, because the wound was so severe, it was difficult to control myself properly.
Baal glared at Lily without even looking at him.
[Are you really going to fight against this Baal?!]
-Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
Even though he was out of his body, Baal’s strength did not diminish at all.
Baal was truly angry.
At first, I planned to set an example.
He planned to make the foolish demons who refused to be loyal to him, even though he was just a candidate for demon king, show his power and make them obey him.
‘But how… did my appearance become even more ridiculous!’
That anger made him uncharacteristically excited.
[You will see that it was not my true self that fought you just now! Even I, who descended into the body of a lowly demon, will be able to handle my anger after this on a topic that is so embarrassing!]
Baal’s voice rang loudly.
It was certainly true.
The true body of Baal was in his nature, and what came down here was only a part of his soul.
If Baal had been able to use the power of the main body, he was confident that he would instantly crush the demon rabbit in front of him.
However, that did not mean that the current defeat was painted beautifully.
Rather, in the eyes of other demons, Baal’s excuses only seemed more lame.
“You’re making excuses because you lost. Then come to the main body. “I’m so scared that I can’t even come out of the house.”
Lily raised her head and confidently said that with her hands on her hips.
[How dare you!]
-Grrr!
Lightning struck from the sky, but it dissipated before it reached Lily.
As the flame monster with its wings wrapped around Lily spewed flames into the sky, the sky turned red and soon became quiet.
“Ah…”
“You really can’t believe you defeated Baal-sama…”
The demons who watched the fight as if fascinated were looking at him as if they were mesmerized.
Baal didn’t like all of that either.
He growled, showing his ferocity.
[Do you know what it means to refuse my orders in this demon world?]
Lily said, picking her ears.
“You don’t know? And I don’t usually listen well.”
Of course, there was one exception, but it wasn’t Baal.
[I will tear your soul into a thousand pieces and bend it again! Will repeat it! You will plead with me in eternal torment!]
Baal was furious and poured out a terrible curse.
Ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss…
but his spirit was becoming increasingly blurred.
Due to the hasty escape from Berit’s descending body, his soul was returning to its original body.
Baal, unable to overcome his anger, shouted to the demons around him.
[It’s an order! Kill that guy! You must be very tired from fighting with me! Whoever fulfills my orders will be made the demon king of this land!]
Baal was confident that all demons would immediately attack Nibaniva.
But no one moved.
Rather,
boom!
The toad demon who brought the group here from the bar bowed down in front of Lily.
“Meet the new king of this land!”
[What are you doing now?]
The loser’s cries had no effect on the demons’ choices.
“See the King!”
“See the King!”
“See the King!”
thud! thud! Thump thump thump thump!
I did not kneel out of fear or pressure.
Thousands of demons bowed to Lily of their own volition.
Abraxas laughed helplessly and looked at the scene Lily had created.
“…Like Lily said, I guess I made it too complicated. “These guys are demons after all, and for demons, the strong one is the truth.”
“Cluck. “That’s one thing I like.”
The reason the demons worshiped Baal was because Baal was strong.
If there was someone who defeated Baal before our eyes, there was no reason not to worship him as a king.
[You guys…! You guys…!]
Baal’s spiritual body became increasingly blurred and his voice became increasingly quiet.
It wasn’t just demons.
{Will you allow me to serve you as my king?}
The Demon King has already recognized her as king, and
[I will…admit defeat. Please… take me as your subordinate.]
Shake it off.
Berit, who barely got up, also knelt down in front of Lily. He glared at Baal with resentful eyes.
The only one who could not accept this result was Baal.
Baal said in a somber voice.
[…It means that you want to destroy everything. The lowly demons from all over the demon world chose a demon lord that suited them. good night. Sooner or later, I will personally lead the army to subdue you…]
“You’ve been so loud since a while ago!”
Grumble!
As Lily waved her hand, Baal’s spirit body was engulfed in flames. It wasn’t a big hit since it was already returning to its original form, but Lily’s flames were enough to inflict pain on the soul.
“Do whatever you feel like. “Because I’m not scared at all.”
[…Are you really not afraid of me?]
Neither Vassago nor Agares.
There has never been a demon lord who says this to his face.
Sssssssut….
Lily said, looking straight at Baal’s almost completely blurred spirit body.
“There is only one thing I am afraid of.”
It is when a person dies or gets injured.
Lily was scared just thinking about it.
“If that really happens…”
The girl’s ruby-red eyes turned red for a moment and then became quiet again.
“…no. “That doesn’t happen.”
The girl shook her head and whispered to Baal.
“Because I will stop it.”
[…You, you…!]
The moment Baal realized something and was about to shout out what he meant, Baal’s blurred spiritual body completely disappeared.
***
On that day, Lily was crowned the new Demon King and received an oath of loyalty from all demons living within the Demon Castle.
The Demon King made a throne made of ruby and offered it to her. The demon
rabbit
slowly climbed the stairs, turned around and sat down on the red throne.
A race that is smaller and dwarfed than any demon king that has ever existed.
The sight of a demon rabbit sitting on a throne looking down at thousands of demons larger than itself seemed like a comical comedy.
But no demon could smile while looking at her.
The demons looked up at her with thrilled expressions.
‘He is…’
‘The new king of this land!’ He is the one who
proudly passed the Demon King selection test and
humiliated Baal, who had reigned as the strongest monarch in the Demon World for a long time.
Demon King Nibaniva opened his mouth.
“I don’t like the demon world ruled by Baal.”
It is a challenge to the rules that were believed to be absolute because they had not changed for so long.
However, the demon king who spoke those words had already fought Baal once and won.
She stood up from the throne and continued speaking.
“I’m going to start a war. I’m going to kick Baal out and I’m going to take his place.”
A short silence filled the Demon King’s palace.
And after a while,
thousands of demons who had already become Nibaniva’s ardent followers roared in unison,
“Woooooooooo!”
An era of war has now arrived in the demon world.
