Solo Max-Level Newbie - Chapter 452

Episode 452. Pandemonium War (2)

The scent of fragrant wine tickled the tip of my nose.

A long row of chairs.

Even the finest dishes that make your mouth water even just by looking at them.

In the splendid interior, representatives of the Pandemonium gathered.

rattle!

The door opened, revealing the last participant of the meeting.

“You’re here.”

“…Whoops. You look pretty laid-back for the fact that your feet are on fire?”

“Gigkick. To think that it was a human who smeared shit on the face of the mighty Guntafer. You couldn’t believe it even when you looked in the mirror?”

“Come back. Guntafer. Beriel was absent this time, so you don’t have to look for him so hard.”

The other demon lords spat out one word at a time.

Among them, the man with green hair hanging down to his waist was stunned.

“So this is it… Don’t you know if Beriel has a better eye for climbers? Looking at the result of Beriel, who collected a lot of mines and stuff and sold just one with one guy at all shows.”

“Don’t scratch it. Asmodeus. My patience has become too small to contain you.”

A vicious flesh rose from Guntafer’s body.

Normally, I felt a pressure that would make me suffocate just by facing him.

“Ah, I’m sorry. I always forget that I have a rivalry with Beriel.”

“What about the idiot and rival who sold all of his territory. He’s the one who will disappear within a short time.”

“Well, I can’t imagine you losing.”

Asmodeus nodded.

Looking at the steps Guntaper had taken, he knew better than anyone else that he would never let the enemy live.

Glance.

Guntafer’s gaze turned to a corner of the banquet hall.

“Didn’t the Demon God attend this time as well?”

The seat of honor is vacant.

Since demons rarely appeared in public places, this meeting was composed of only demon kings at the level of corps commanders.

“If Eden doesn’t declare an all-out war, he’s not the kind of person who will move his heavy ass.”

“Sheesh! The future of the Pandemonium is also filthy dark.”

“More than that, Guntaper.”

The tall man sitting next to Asmodeus opened his mouth.

He was a demon king with red hair and a muscular body.

Mamon.

He is the one who controls the greed recorded in the Book of Enoch.

At the same time, Mamon was also in charge of the economy of the Demon Realm.

“What?”

“You might be aware of it, but we are taking this matter quite seriously. Killing each other is a common thing among demon lords, but in this case, you crossed the line a bit. And that too a lot.”

“…Is it because of the theme of the 30th floor?”

“Yes, originally, we shouldn’t have been involved in the raiding of the floors. However, you intervened greatly in the rules of the system due to your personal reasons.”

There is bound to be a rebound.

Didn’t the battle that should actually take place on the 30th floor happen in their home base, the Demon Realm?

If the opponent hadn’t been the demon king, it would have been a crime worthy of immediate judgment.

so that. This place should be a place of interrogation, not just a banquet.

To hold a demon king accountable for his stupid actions.

And even how to handle things after that.

“If you want a reward after dealing with Beriel, just say it, Mamon.

“Hehehe… I’m free to think, but since I’ve already done this much, it means there shouldn’t be any mistakes. I mean…”

Clicked.

Mammon placed a round stone the size of a palm on the table. A shield and an ax crossed patterns.

“This is…”

Guntafer’s face hardened.

Barbarian Warrior A holy relic that symbolizes those commonly known as barbarians.

* * *

In the middle of Beriel’s territory, due to preparations for war, a blink of an eye was passing by.

This is because, as long as it is openly on fire, many variables have to be created in order to survive.

Jinhyeok looked at the huge map on the wall.

The map depicting all the topography and features of the Demon Realm included the territory and military base where each Demon King resided.

“Hmm….”

From now on, who will move and how will matter

.

Because they want to avoid the risk of touching the system themselves.

Considering that, there is only one answer left.

Those who have never acted against the rules set by the system.

That’s why even if they intervene on another floor this time, they can minimize the aftermath.

Right on the 31st floor is the Barbarian’s World.

– Barbarian.

It is a group of muscular combat fanatics, regardless of gender or age.

It was said that breaking people’s pots was the most enjoyable pastime. Saying more would only hurt your mouth.

In addition, because of their extremely low IQ compared to their high self-esteem, they often had friction with other races.

In a word, it means that it is better not to associate with each other as much as possible.

It was also one of the stairs I most wanted to avoid unless I was actually climbing the tower.

Guntafer knew that too, so he must have chosen the Heavenly Horse instead of the Barbarian even if it was unreasonable.

But…

‘The story is completely different if it’s a holy relic owned by Mamon.’

A warrior’s coin.”

It’s just a pattern engraved on a stone, but it has quite a special meaning to the Barbarian.

It was because he could gain the trust of the Barbarian race just by having the coins owned by the chieftains leading the clan in the past.

It was one of the few ways to motivate stubborn warriors.

Certainly… this was likely to be a headache.

That is if you don’t prepare properly.

‘It would have been a good plan if the real opponent wasn’t me…’

Jinhyeok clicked his tongue in regret.

“Hmm. Were you here?”

It was then that I heard Beriel’s voice.

Beriel and an elderly demon entered through the open door.

“Is it Beriel? Oh, it’s nothing special. When I have time, I thought I’d figure out the whole thing…” ”

Okay. Nothing else. I’ve collected all the troops you asked for. If you look out the window, you’ll be able to check it right away.”

“Ah. Yes? Thank you.”

Jinhyeok changed his seat and walked toward the window.

The view from the citadel, which is about 5 stories high.

Usually in movies, when a commander-level figure shows up, it is standard for a long horn to sound and numerous soldiers to shout.

I was expecting such a grandiose spectacle to unfold.

is it real?

‘The situation is much more serious than I thought?’

At best, there were about a hundred soldiers in the territory.

Even that, the military was all gone. Even the ranks were not properly equipped.

Isn’t that all?

Helmets, weapons, shields, they all skipped one by one and giggled.

I knew that Beriel was on the verge of bankruptcy, but this is almost at the level of the Tang Dynasty army, isn’t it?

“haha. I can’t help it. We also had our own circumstances.”

“Who is that person…?”

Judging by the fact that her magical power isn’t high, she’s not a high-ranking demon.

“Hmm. don’t introduce He is the butler who oversees our manor.”

“nice to see you. It’s called ‘Shehert’. I’ve been serving Beriel for hundreds of years. It’s the first time I’ve invited a human to the manor, so please let me know if there’s anything lacking. This Sehert will help you as soon as possible.”

Sehert gave a simple smile.

Unlike a demon, he is warm and full of affection.

Just like when I met my grandfather who passed away 15 years ago.

“This is my apostle Gangjin…”

“Kaak! Wow! No, X bee was this human? Kang Jin-hyeok? If so, please tell me in advance. don’t come here at all. Your shit.”

…withdraw everything I said.

I never thought there would be multiple personalities among humans or demons.

Even his words are thick enough to make his ears bleed.

“I’m sorry. Butler, that’s…”

“I’m sorry. Do you know how much I have suffered and struggled to maintain this beggar-sized estate?”

“Oh you know. I know. I know…”

“The demon king devours the territory, the land, and the forest without thinking because of a single human being. But you’re so proud of yourself that you don’t want to lose to other demon lords even if you die? Yem disease. But why aren’t you accepting resignations again?”

Almost insane level.

No matter how much resentment he had until now, he even stood up to the blood in his neck.

“No, but… I’m the Demon King, and I’m the monarch you serve…”

“Ah, if you mess with me, just kill me. Do you die from overwork, from fire, or from Guntaper? I’m destined to die anyway, so what’s there to be afraid of?”

Baejarasik mode continued.

Seeing that Beriel was also at a loss, it seemed that he had been stabbed a lot during that time.

I wonder if I was hiding the fact that I was Kang Jin-hyuk from Sehert just now?

I’m glad though

There are still people in this territory who have the will.

Rather, Jinhyuk smiled brightly.

“This is for our hard-working butler… I need to make this one that smells like salty money.”

Now is the time to refresh the plate.

* * *

Even if there is an absolute power difference, it does not necessarily result in victory.

It is said that the key in war is how many different variables can be combined to outwit the opponent.

The third day since I came to the Demon Realm.

Jinhyeok broke everyone’s expectations and started to make an unconventional first move.

“Are you fucking serious… are you going to do this?”

Chun Yuseong spat out a curse.

The moment he wandered behind in Moorim.

Through Heimdall, I was able to barely give up on the Heavenly Demon Produce 101.

But there was only a moment of relief.

It was because the place they arrived was the Pandemonium located at the top of the Tower of Trials.

The place right in front of you is also one of Guntaper’s core bases.

It was a place called ‘Blain Castle’.

Not only were there a lot of high-ranking blood relatives, but the size of the castle made it inevitable to say that it was impregnable even from the bottom of the castle.

“The more I look at it, the more it seems to be a little tight.”

“Even if you hit a rock with an egg, it’s still oily. Do you think it makes sense to hit that place with only this force?”

“Don’t you know the saying that the best defense is offense? We would have been hunted if we stayed in the manor anyway.”

“I shouldn’t speak. Anyway, if I go out with you, I won’t die in my name.”

“Trust me. Even if you don’t spend a day or two with me.”

furthermore. The number I have now is not too bad.

For Guntaper, this war was a test bed where he had to unilaterally destroy rather than simply win.

A place where you have to show off your skills in front of countless demon lords.

Even the most thoroughgoing guntaper will be burdened.

‘A preemptive strike on our side is like putting a spoon right into the burden.’

good.

It seems like the stage is now

ready…

Jinhyuk snapped his fingers.

OK.

“Kreureu…”

“Keong! Kung! Kung!”

A sound like an animal howling echoed here and there at the same time.
