too many martens

Five minutes ago, when he first stepped into the priesthood of the Lord of Truth, Lamune felt a great displeasure.

The feeling of being trapped in a closed room with no gaps.

It was probably because the divine area was a difficult space to deal with his authority, ‘Connection’.

However, even though Ramune felt displeased, he was not embarrassed.

Because it’s not the first time I’ve come across this situation.

‘It was like this in the priesthood of the Lord of Calamity.’

A place bound by the strong domination of the transcendent, the sacred area.

It was difficult to use ‘Connection’ because the signal was too weak even in the divine area ruled by the Lord of Truth.

So Lamune habitually searched for an object that could use ‘connection’ while other transcendentalists were conversing with the Lord of Truth.

‘This isn’t it.’

‘Not even this.’

‘Five! This is it!’

After several searches, Lamune eventually found the opponent who was sending the strongest signal among the strings connected to him.

However, after confirming the identity of the opponent, he was frightened and stopped searching.

It was because the opponent with whom the line was most clearly connected was the monarch that Lamune was extremely reluctant to do.

‘Is this because it’s hell?’

Lamune desperately hoped that the opponent would not notice.

But his wish did not come true.

As if he knew everything, the other party started stimulating the ‘connection’ of Lamune.

‘Damn it… … .’

Lamune, who did not want to get involved, tried to ignore it somehow.

However… … .

『The Lord of Calamity requests a ‘connection’.』

『The Lord of Calamity requests a ‘connection’.』

『The Lord of Calamity requests a ‘connection’.』

I couldn’t do that with the message that filled my eyes.

‘Hi and… … .’

In the end, Lamune accepted the ‘connection’ with the Lord of Calamity by crying and eating mustard.

『Rammune?』

“Why are you doing this to me!”

“Aren’t you the one who first looked at me?”

“I didn’t mean to find you! So just do it without knowing!”

『There is a time we spent together, can we?』

Of course, Lamune suffered from the endless obsession of the Lord of Calamity during the time they were together.

He wanted to stop exchanging these messages as soon as possible.

“I’ll make sure to ‘connect’ next time. I’m busy right now, so let’s talk later.”

It was then.

The Lord of Calamity threw a strange word.

『Can I help you?』

『… Why do you think I need help?”

『Lamune, tell me honestly. Aren’t you falling into a trap right now?”

“How do you know that?”

“My eyes are all over hell. It’s not another transcendent, but you came in, so there’s no way I wouldn’t know. I can help you if you want.”

To be honest, it’s true that my ears are captivated.

But what can I say, a very uncomfortable feeling? A bad feeling that if you get help this time, you’ll get stronger again? Such ominous feelings kept coming up, so Lamune tried to just refuse.

But he couldn’t.

It was because Latun kept talking to me at that timing.

And the Lord of Calamity did not miss that opportunity.

“This seems like a difficult situation to answer. I’ll help you.”

『… uh? no!”

『Fufu, to be ashamed. It is prepaid. I’ll get paid for it next time.”

I tried to send a message saying no, but the connection was already broken.

A debt to the Lord of Calamity, not to anyone else… … .

As Lamune shuddered at the soaring ominous power, the space next to him began to crumble.

And then, terribly beautiful, the Lord of Calamity appeared.

With more lords than the lords of truth.

* * *

Everyone’s eyes turned to Ramune’s side.

One of the lords who was with the lord of truth was rubbing his eyes with his mouth wide open as if he couldn’t believe the situation.

[I-what is that… … .]

Twelve lords appeared through the cracked space.

The lord of calamity, who stood at the forefront, looked at Lamune and lifted one lip.

[Lamune. I never thought that the reunion would be so fast. Is that what I really wanted to see?]

Even though he wasn’t nervous even at Olympus, he was sweating like rain.

At the gaze of the Lord of Calamity, Lamune turned his eyes away.

The Lord of Calamity looked at him with affectionate eyes for a moment, then smiled and turned away.

[It’s been a while, King of Truth.]

[It’s been a while, King of Disaster.]

[Couldn’t you let them go even if it’s to save face?]

[It’s the face of the King of Calamity… … . I’d like to hear it too, but I don’t think the timing is right.]

[is that so?]

The Lord of Truth, who had met eyes for a moment, sighed.

[I don’t want to kill you. Can’t you leave?]

The haughty lady laughed and shook her head.

[The King of Truth cannot kill me.]

[is it?]

[yes.]

[Then let’s check it out.]

In an instant, a gigantic killing spree burst out, and the atmosphere in the new area changed.

The Lords, including Latun’s party and the Lord of Calamity, felt stuffy inside.

The feeling that the new station itself rejects them.

Then the Lord of Calamity shook his hand.

wheein-

At the gesture of her hand, energy mixed with divine power and musical instruments poured out and began to scatter in all directions on the wind that blew from somewhere.

The Lord of Truth exclaimed in admiration at the sight.

[her… Was it like this?]

Where her power lies, the quality of the atmosphere in the new station has begun to change.

disaster.

Of course, it was only a disaster for the Lord of Truth.

To those on the other side of him, the new station felt like a more comfortable world than anywhere else.

cool-

The Lord of Truth vomited blood.

Although he was not directly attacked, the damage Shinyeok saw was returned to him.

The ten lords who were with the lord of truth began to panic.

The opponent is the lord of calamity who is famous for being strong and venomous, but it seems that the lord of truth who is supposed to deal with her is being pushed aside, so it has to be.

There was no lord in Hell who wanted to oppose the Lord of Calamity.

A strangely changed atmosphere.

“Would this be easier than I thought?”

It was not unreasonable that Ratoon muttered so much.

But the Lord of Calamity didn’t seem to think so.

[The fight isn’t over yet, Traveler.]

“Have you completely lost your momentum over there?”

[Do not ignore the Lord of Truth. The number of people who have existed as monarchs longer than the author in the hell of the law of the jungle should be counted on one hand. There must be a good reason for that.]

“What is the reason?”

It was then.

They could see the Lord of Truth, who had been coughing up blood, stand up.

“what? Have you changed?”

The whites are not visible in the eyes.

The presence and atmosphere are completely different from before.

He looked at the Lord of Calamity with eyes that didn’t know what he was thinking, and he reached out his hand.

At the end of the direction the hand was facing, there was a monarch who was on his side. The Lord who looked at the Lord of Calamity with a strained eye and was watching when to run away.

Shaaa-

In an instant, power was extracted from the monarch’s body.

The power changed like smoke and moved along with the Lord of Truth’s beckoning, and soon entered the body of the Lord of Truth.

dump-

The powerless monarch fell helplessly without any resistance, and soon became a skeleton.

“… What is that?”

Latun widened his eyes in astonishment.

To kill a monarch so easily, I couldn’t believe it even after seeing it.

And those who were with the Lord of Truth added.

Enemy Ratoon must have felt a surprise, but they were shocked.

[…] … .]

Standing in a daze at the sudden death of their comrades, they looked at the Lord of Truth.

He stood still with his eyes closed and smiled.

It’s embarrassing and absurd, and it’s so scary that I don’t even have the courage to say anything.

[Feel so good.]

The Lord of Truth opened his eyes.

He licked his lips at the other monarch nearby.

[But it’s still not enough.]

He held out his hand again.

His target, the monarch, was frightened when he saw his body suddenly glowing.

[I, I will go back!]

However, he could not return to his priesthood. It was because the divine power did not budge as if it had been sealed.

I couldn’t even move my body.

He could see why the previous monarch had died so vainly.

[This, don’t do this! What the hell do you want!]

The lord cried out earnestly, but the lord of truth did not even answer.

He seemed to be interested only in power.

[aaa!]

Eight monarchs, excluding one who had already died and one who was about to die, vomited their lives and divine powers at once.

The target is the Lord of Truth, who was an ally just a moment ago.

They attacked the Lord of Truth with their respective powers.

But the Lord of Truth did not even glance at them.

Concentrating only on sucking power, I just met their attacks.

Still, the Eight Lords could not kill him.

Even though each of them was a monarch with the power equivalent to a high-ranking god once they left hell.

[die! die!]

[Freeze!]

[Please die!]

On the other hand, Latun, who was watching the scene, was distracted by the rapidly changing situation.

“What the hell is going on?”

Since the enemy has split, it should be normal to feel good, but instinct continues to send warnings.

If you leave it like this, it will be really bad.

Ratoon asked the Lord of Calamity.

“How is that possible?”

[I’ve heard rumors that the author eats other demons. I didn’t know if that was possible even for monarchs.]

Loki intervened between the two.

[It’s not that only demons can be eaten.]

[Hmm?]

[They say that even one transcendental being of human origin was eaten.]

I am referring to the fourth hero of Roden.

[is it… … . I don’t understand.]

It absorbs power, rendering even the monarch unable to resist. It doesn’t even weaken while absorbing power. Aren’t they still enduring the attacks of other monarchs and absorbing their power?

‘How could he have been able to stay calm for such a long time even with such ability?’

If he had that kind of ability, he would have already conquered hell and reached the level of the divine realm.

Just when the Lord of Calamity thought so, Loki said.

[It’s probably not an ability that can be used at any time. there will be conditions But I don’t know what it is. I can’t get a sense of it.]

Thor asked Loki.

[Anyway, can’t we use it?]

[I don’t know that.]

[If I could have written it, I would have written it earlier. Didn’t we use it because that condition didn’t suit us?]

[All he wanted was to take Martin’s power and get out of here. To do that, we must be alive. I can’t be quick to conclude that I couldn’t do it.]

Loki turned his head and spoke.

[Well, at a time like this, I don’t think it’s bad to follow the choices our good friends make. How do you feel, friend?]

A good friend, Latun, radiated speculation.

“Three of them have already been eaten. That’s how strong he got. If you just watch it like this and absorb all the power of the other monarchs, it will be difficult to handle? You have to fight first.”

Thor turned Mjolnir around and asked Loki.

[Then has it been decided?]

[Yes, fight to your heart’s content.]

[Haha, good!]

dig-

Thor flies through space and swings Mjolnir at the enemy’s head.

The Lord of Truth, who remained still even when being attacked by the Lords’ pincers, moved for the first time and avoided the attack.

Loki got a piece of information from that appearance.

[I know that Mjolnir ignores divine power and strikes. On the outside, it looks like a monster devoured by appetite, but that’s not it. Everyone, don’t be careless.]

“okay.”

[then Let’s go.]

The Transcendentalists, including Latun, and the Monarchs, including the Lord of Calamity, threw their bodies at once.

But only one Transcendentalist remained there.

It was Ramune.

“… What is it?”

A notification window kept popping up in front of Lamune’s eyes.

『The 43rd Martin and the string are connected.』

『The 44th Martin and the string are connected.』

『The 45th Martin and the string are connected.』

Lammune muttered in a daze at the message rush that fills his spirits.

“How many Martins are there?”
