060. Legion vs Calamity Showdown (1)

“call.”

Flash-!!!

The moment I accepted the request made by the ruler of calamity, space split apart with a flashing light in the sky, creating a huge door that rotated in an elliptical shape.

Through the elliptical door, which rotated violently and opened so large that Leviathan could pass through, the image of another world beyond it was clearly visible.

[Brother, this is the door to the home of the Legion. There is the pond of the beginning, where the essence of all the corps left by the first ruler is melted.]

Just as the ruler of calamity had said, beyond the wide open oval door, he could see the terrain like a lush forest and a towering volcano.

“… … Oh, how great is it? Are you saying that if you have strong mental strength, you can do these things?”

With eyes full of surprise and curiosity, I alternately looked at the elliptical door open in the sky and the ruler of disaster.

“This door… … .”

When I took a quick look at it, the door that was created was a technology that extremely distorted and folded the distant place and the space here now, reducing the distance itself.

In a word, that oval-shaped door that was now opened was a little different from what I usually see, but the principle itself was the same as the [Gate], which is made using the magic power of high-ranking demons or the divine power of players.

Of course, the medium used here was not magical power or divine power. The subject that opened and maintained this door now was a single, powerful spirit dominating this area.

So, it is said that the ruler right in front of you is the one who created the door through the dimension.

“Hey brother? How are you doing this? Can I teach you something?”

This is a really greedy skill. How the hell did you come up with that?

If I can use the door created by the ruler of calamity now, it means that from now on I can do all the operations by myself without the help of an administrator or an apostle.

If I can send my troops here and there on my own, my activities will be much freer, and I can end this troublesome alliance, which is in fact only a cosmetic, early.

However, the ruler of disasters did not show any reaction to my question.

[There is only one ruler who can possess the Pond of the Beginning and prevent destruction, and only those who have defeated all the brothers who hold the key can obtain that qualification… … .]

“… … No, would you like me to tell you how to open this door?”

Saying it again didn’t change anything. He only spit out what he wanted to say in a very mechanical and unkind manner.

[Some of the power remaining in the pond of the beginning and the right to possess it were divided into keys and divided equally among the brothers, but they all died to me a long time ago.]

At the same time that was said, the Master of Disaster started glaring at me with a very fishy smile and golden eyes.

I could very bluntly feel the energy of a ‘beast that found prey’ in that gaze.

[Brother, I have long waited for the last descendant of the Legion to bear the key.]

Thanks to that, I was feeling worse and worse.

“… … No, so what do you mean?”

I tend to dislike people who talk back and forth while putting off the main topic like the previous demon king.

However, in addition to not telling his business quickly, this guy was very unkind, saying only what he had to say, and furthermore, he had an additional skill of making people go crazy by sprinkling rice cakes that he couldn’t understand.

Of course, I had some understanding of what that bastard was talking about.

“Okay, so to speak, that’s it, right? The power to prevent destruction or something is in the pond, and that pond is where the water in your cup is, and part of the power contained in that pond has split into something you call a key, and that power is one. Are you saying that all of the guys who previously challenged to merge were dipped in the crock pot? And I am the ruler with the last remaining key, right?”

I don’t know if it’s ruin or what, but I was able to infer from his remarks that the bastard called the Great Demon King was plotting something.

And the voice that I am the ruler with the key seems to be talking about the sacred relic of the first demon.

“Do you mean this by key?”

When I took out the chalice containing half-used black blood from the personal space available to the players, the ruler of disaster answered my question for the first time.

[Usually the last key to obtaining the essence of the monarch, the power of the beginning. Only when it is there will the pond in the beginning fully function.]

As expected, the first Demon God, who resembled a snow crab, had a deep relationship with the legion, as I had predicted earlier. At first glance, whether it’s a Horus relic or not, it has nothing to do with the legion, and it probably has something to do with what the demons are aiming for.

Anyway, after talking with that bastard, I started to feel tired.

“No, fuck it, it’s annoying to death, but it makes me use my brain. Hey, what else is the ruin that the son of the Great Demon King is plotting?”

[Brother, if you want to reach pure power, challenge me. If you give up the challenge, just hand over the key and I will save the world from destruction.]

“… … Fuck.”

Again, my question was nicely chewed.

“… … You bastard.”

Cursing started pouring out.

That guy was aiming for the holy relic I had, and if I didn’t give it up, he was aiming for my life as well. For this reason, the cub, the ruler of that disaster, is not in my heart.

First of all, the longer I talked to that bastard, the more tired I got. I didn’t want to talk any more.

So I decided

“Oh, you bastard fearlessly keeps omitting explanations, right? good night. If you don’t want to talk like that, I’ll remove your head myself.”

I decided to open that stuffy bastard’s earthen pot very coolly.

“덤벼 이 개새끼야.”

* * *

A strange scene of high-ranking demons and human players gathered in one place spread out on a large battleship made with the authority of an apostle.

But now, they couldn’t hide their bewilderment as an unexpected situation occurred.

The ruler of the legion disappeared without a word.

Suddenly, a huge elliptical whirlpool appeared in the sky, and the large whale carrying the ruler entered it shortly after.

“… … Apostle, what should we do?”

“… … You didn’t tell us to follow you, did you?”

“So, do you mean we have to wait like this?”

“If we needed it, we would have told you before we went in.”

The previous demon king had an expression that he couldn’t understand the sudden ruler’s behavior.

“From what I feel, he is an extreme efficiency seeker. He’s not the kind of person who would make fun of us like this.”

Usually, when the rulers go out on their own to carry out an operation, they have given instructions such as asking them to defend their colony or to deal with intrusive enemies in advance.

He was a person with a strong personality who did not let go of a situation where his ability to work and fight was idle.

Although the ruler of the corps was a slightly unkind person in the opinion of the former demon king, he was absolutely not the one to act unexpectedly in this way when dealing with war-related matters.

“Has anyone received his words?”

I asked just in case, but everyone in the party shook their heads because they didn’t listen to the commander of the corps.

“This is very strange. Are you saying the ruler doesn’t need our help at all this time?”

“Demon King, let’s get some rest for now… … .”

“… … Sado, are you very tired? But our leader has gone in there alone now.”

“No, you didn’t tell us to follow you at all, did you?”

The voice of the apostle Jeong Seong-cheol, who was talking with the former demon king, cracked open.

“More than tiredness, it hurts a little more… … .”

“… … .”

When the previous demon king looked closely, the apostle Jeong Seong-cheol was just lying limp and not moving, just like a people who had lost their country.

The pupils, peeking out from under the tightly tucked-in hat, were languidly open like the eyes of a rotten fish, making him look like a wise man who had learned the truth of the universe.

“what? I mean it hurts… … ?”

The former demon king tilted his head when he saw the apostle’s condition, which looked more serious than he thought. From his point of view, the apostle had only accumulated fatigue from using the equipment that continuously distorted space, and was not in a physical condition that was really painful or worth it.

All he could think was that this was faking it.

“Sado, are you really sick? It seems to me that there is nothing wrong with the body… … .”

“Yes… … It hurts a lot… … .”

“… … .”

“Demon King, don’t look so closely. Right now, not only my body, but my heart hurts a bit… … .”

Choi Kang-han and Lee Ga-ram, who watched this from the side, continued to fire eyes at the former demon king, meaning ‘don’t touch the apostle’, and restrained the former demon king with gestures and facial expressions.

Of course, the former demon king and other high-ranking demons were frustrated because they didn’t know why the apostle was so engrossed in the terrible sage time.

‘I can’t help it.’

Anyway, since the apostle who was supposed to lead the party directly was doing that, it was not easy to move the battleship and follow the ruler right away.

“Then, let’s wait a little bit away from here… … .”

“Ah, that’s what I was hoping for.”

Fortunately, the masses of disastrous flesh surrounding them hadn’t yet shown any movement to attack the apostle’s battleship.

However, everyone, including the former demon king, had personally experienced the horrors of beings called disasters, so everyone agreed on the decision to get out of the seat.

That’s how it was when the ship the party was on moved some distance away from the area where the disaster was concentrated.

“ah… … .”

The party again witnessed an unexpected scene unfold here.

“Okay, Sado. I think we should prepare for battle.”

The vast spaces split apart and flashed for an instant, and then celestial bodies covered in purple clouds began to protrude out of the air.

Among the celestial bodies pouring down like that, there was a celestial body that was very familiar to the previous demon kings and generals, as well as to the human players here.

“Demon King, [Demon King Castle] is appearing ahead.”

“Captain, I’m watching too. It seems that the demon god has chosen a new demon king. Hurry up and summon the generals you can reach.”

“I am already doing it. We will be bringing our troops here soon.”

As the former demon king, or now the high-ranking demon, who should be called Taesangwang, said, the newly elected demon king came here with the intention of dealing with the disaster that afflicts them from the rear.

“… … Are you the Demon King?”

Apostle Jeong Seong-cheol, who had been watching this, stood up from his seat, swaying like a squid, and began to annoy with a heavy voice, like a dog growling when it found a stranger.

“I thought these bastards should take a break now… … .”

Garam Lee and Choi Kang-han, who were watching him from behind, looked back at each other in surprise.

“what?”

“… … Did the apostle swear?”

It was the first time they had seen the Sado, who always treated others with a kind smile and manner of speaking, frowning as he spat out harsh curse words that contained murderous words.

‘It’s like… … .’

‘It’s similar to Ji-woo’s atmosphere when he’s pissed off… … ?’

They knew the apostle’s condition better than anyone else, thanks to one person who sometimes gave off this ‘calmly turned’ atmosphere.

When a person who is not usually angry starts to burst out in earnest, the anger that has been suppressed is more frightening than an active volcano.

“You bastards, they’re all gone.”

When the group saw the apostle roughly fixing his hat while taking out a box full of potions to restore strength, they quickly realized that he was under an unbearable amount of stress right now.

Sado, who had thick hair that seemed a little messy when we first met, showed off his hair with sparse holes that were really noticeable in just a few days of being abused by Han Ji-woo.

‘The apostle got angry.’

The apostle, who roughly opened the lid of the potion with his mouth, began pouring full-scale firepower toward the [Demon King] that appeared fearlessly in front of him, who was suffering from severe stress.

“Battleship, fire the main gun for purifying the Pandemonium with [Demon King].”

Flash-!

A huge beam of light emitted from the battleship of authority pierced the abyss and hit the [Demon Castle] directly.
