Money-grubbing Necromancer (223)
The wind wraps around my body.
Merhen’s magic lifts his body. Kim Min-woo, who has already arrived in the sky, stabs Amon with his sword.
-This filthy thing!
Amon swung his claws in anger. Perhaps because Paimon had been hit so suddenly, it didn’t feel real. To him, Kim Min-woo was just an insignificant human.
A life form worse than an insect in the demon world.
I can’t help but be angry when that guy actively attacks me.
Doesn’t that mean you look easy?
He was so angry that he couldn’t even show his usual innocent smile.
A giant claw is swung.
Speed, mass, and strength.
As expected from the 6th ranked demon lord, everything was a perfect hit.
thud!
Just before the sword and claws clashed, Amon’s body staggered slightly. The trajectory of his swing widened, and the guy’s attack missed.
―… … !
Amon was startled by the unknown phenomenon. Kim Min-woo did not miss the opportunity. Feathers were cut off and flesh was cut by the fiercely swinging sword.
Amon responds hurriedly.
But it was strange.
When a sword approaches, one’s defenses naturally become compromised, as if a gate is being opened.
‘What the heck? What the heck are you talking about!’
This was neither magic nor technology.
As the wind blows, as if breathing.
It was more like a natural phenomenon. My wings and feet were getting dizzy. My whole body was tingling. I couldn’t stop that little guy.
‘That’s ridiculous!’
Kim Min-woo was definitely strong for a human. His physical abilities were far superior to those of Balrog, known as the highest level of demons. However, he was not an opponent that a monarch like Amon would have difficulty with.
It definitely had to be that way.
But, the situation was just the opposite.
‘Is this why Paimon got hurt?’
The pain from the overlapping wounds is getting worse. The feathers that were fine despite the Balrogs’ fierce attacks are being plucked out one by one. Suddenly, fear rose in Amon’s heart.
The feeling of contempt for humanity that I had inside completely disappeared.
Amon wasn’t the only one surprised.
‘oh my god!’
Kalung, who was watching the fight, was also like that. I wondered how he caught Paimon, but now that I look at it, I think I know.
That Amon is pushed.
My whole body is gradually covered in blood.
Amon is completely battered and Kim Min-woo is unscathed.
Even the neighborhood idiot would be able to see clearly who has the upper hand.
Amon was tenaciously keeping his distance as if he would fall at any moment.
Kalung’s mind suddenly came to him.
If you miss Amon here, it’s over!
-Don’t let him escape! Stop him!
-Kill Amon!
-Let’s avenge Balrog!
I was momentarily intimidated by Amon’s bravery.
The Balrogs charged forward with renewed courage. Compared to Amon’s large body, they were a bit exaggerated to be called flies, but they were enough to distract Amon.
-I mean Vicky!
Amon waved his wings as if he was annoyed. The Balrogs’ weapons were torn apart by the sharper wing feathers than the blades. Even so, the Balrogs did not lose their fighting spirit. Instead, they charged with even greater tenacity.
Without a weapon, he just jumped in with his bare body. He held onto Amon’s body and killed his mobility. The weight of the Balrog was basically in tons. Even Amon could not fly any higher when ten Balrogs held onto his body without regard for his life.
Kim Min-woo felt Amon’s movements becoming increasingly dull.
‘Luck is truly an incredible thing.’
It’s amazing.
It was a different feeling from when I dealt with Paimon.
A feeling enveloped my whole body, as if the world itself was on my side.
That’s why I was able to deal with Amon so easily.
‘How long will this go on?’
One thing is certain.
The dice number 6 was virtually invincible.
* * *
Meanwhile, it wasn’t just Amon and the Balrog hordes that were shocked.
Marbas and Balkan.
Both of them had their eyes wide open. Even though they were roughly clashing their whips and hands, their attention was practically entirely focused on Amon.
Kim Min-woo’s status rose rapidly as he caught Paimon.
He became the key man in this battle.
If you don’t have teeth, your gums will hurt, and that’s exactly what happened to Marbas. It’s okay that Paimon is dead. It’s bad, but it’s not the worst.
The power of the Balkans and the Mercenaries is at best equal to that of 1.5 Overlords.
On the other hand, there were two great monarchs left on this side.
‘It looks fine on the outside, but… … .’
Paimon is no easy feat, and he must have drained his power considerably.

‘Humans will no longer be variables!’
If you think about it that way, it would have been stupid to get scared and give up.
Baal’s aftermath was also a problem, but wasn’t the critical situation that the Demon Stone still remained?
Paimon’s death could rather be seen as an opportunity to eliminate a competitor. That’s why Marbas was preoccupied with the fight between Kim Min-woo and Amon. To confirm whether his thoughts were correct.
and…….
‘I’m screwed!’
That was the first thought that came to mind.
Even the hasty Marbas could not help but realize that things were going strangely wrong.
Clearly Amon is much stronger.
Despite the huge weight difference, the ship was fast and nimble. Its strength was beyond words. It was enough to tear apart Balrogs with just one kick.
however…….
‘Why are you so helpless?’
Are you even looking at me?
Amon’s fighting was so poor that I thought that. He would attack sharply, but then suddenly give himself an opening. In the end, he ended up covered in wounds. Even for a monarch with incredible vitality, these were not wounds that could be healed in a short period of time.
Suddenly a scary thought crossed my mind.
If you don’t give me the benefit of the doubt… … .
Kim Min-woo intentionally exposed Amon’s weakness!
In a way that even the 6th ranked demon lord could not help but be defeated.
Is it any different from Marbas?
No it wasn’t.
Although he was a bit stronger than Amon because of his higher rank, he was just as strong as the others.
-Keung!
Marbas, who had been crying loudly, made up his mind.
‘The stone of the demon is not important!’
When I looked closely, it was a matter of life or death. I had to escape while Amon was buying time.
―Hehehe! You’re as impatient as a dog with its tail on fire!
-Get out.
He struck Vulcan with all his might. As he struck with determination, his hand filled with immense power.
Balkan’s face also hardened.
He had a straightforward and simple personality, but that didn’t mean he was stupid. He knew that if he wasted time, he would just swim with his feet on the ground.
So, from now on, Marbas will try his best to open the way.
The Balkans also gave their all.
As he swung the flame demon wrapped around his hand, a wave of hot blue flame flowed out. The terrifying heat blocked Marbas’s power.
Boohoo!
Heat sum.
Twenty sum.
As Marbas charged forward with a desperate determination as if he was risking his life, Balkan was slowly pushed back.
‘This guy… … .’
Certainly, the overlord was formidable.
Thanks to the stone of the demon, even Vulcan, who was incomparably stronger than a normal Balrog, had a hard time subduing him.
at that time.
Balkan looked sideways and smiled brightly.
-Haha! You look great, Marbas!
Marbas’s face crumpled as if he had chewed shit. Amon, his wings clipped off, was falling towards the ground, covered in blood.
His face darkened greatly when he saw dozens of Balrogs clinging to his body like parasites.
Amon’s massive body crashed to the ground. The ground shook violently with a “kwaang” sound.
His wings were already torn off and his form unrecognizable, and his entire body was covered in wounds from the Balrogs’ attacks.
Amon tried to stand up with all his might, but his legs had long since lost their function.
‘This can’t be happening… … .’
Despair flashed across Amon’s eyes. He raised his head one last time and glared at Kim Min-woo.
He never dreamed that he would meet his end as a lowly human being. He smiled bitterly.
The demon world is a place where the strong reign.
Now, that human was clearly strong.
Thump.
Amon laughed in vain as he saw him approaching with his sword in hand.
-Groan groh… … .
With a complex gaze filled with hatred, fear, and even respect somewhere in between.
The moment he opened his mouth to say something, a sword slashed at his neck. With a snap, Amon’s consciousness faded away forever.
[I have used up all the given fate!]
[‘Greatest Luck’ is unlocked!]
A message came to mind, along with a strange sense of helplessness as if something was out of place.
‘It’s solved.’
Still, I had no regrets.
An earthquake that devoured an army of 100,000 men.
It was also thanks to the power of luck through the dice of fate that I was able to easily hunt down the outstanding overlords Amon and Paimon.
In other words… … .
‘I’ll have to be a lot more careful next time I roll it… … .’
The dice are subject to the opposite value adjustment. If the previous roll was bad luck, the next roll will be good luck. If you got extremely lucky this time, there was a high possibility that the next roll would be unimaginably bad luck.
‘Think about that later.’
Since there is a cooldown time for rolling anyway, it won’t be too late to think about it later.
The only one left is Marbas.
Even without luck, the Balkans and the mercenaries remained.
The situation must have been very bad for Marbas. He was losing momentum, so he couldn’t fight properly.
There is no target easier to catch than a scared prey.
Kim Min-woo, soaked in Amon’s pitch-black blood, approached Balkan.
“Hey, can I help you?”
Balkan was secretly impressed by that relaxed appearance. To be honest, even when he was using the ‘traitor strategy’, he had not completely trusted Kim Min-woo.
He suspected that this might be a ploy to lower the mercenary force’s power and offer them up to the demon lords. It was not strange for such suspicions to suddenly arise, since Balrog was just a useful tactic for the demon lords.
However, I followed Kim Min-woo’s words because there was no other way. At best, I would have to run away to some wasteland, but in the end, the only difference would be whether I died sooner or later.
That’s why I joined hands with Kim Min-woo, even though I was hesitant…
‘It was the best choice.’
I never thought I would receive this much help from a person I despised so much.
He killed two demon lords.
There was no more room for doubt.
The man named Kim Min-woo was completely on Balrog’s side.
The heart of the Balkans opened wide.
Normally, he would have been running wild, thinking he was his prey, but this time it was different.
―Hahaha! Thanks for your help!
-Balkan! Don’t you have any pride? You want to beg for help from a lowly human?
Marbas shouted in a hurry.
If Kim Min-woo had intervened here, the result would have been obvious.
―Huh! What’s so important about pride in battle? You idiot.
Marbas’s face was distorted into a grimace. He was clearly afraid now.
* * *
The Demon World’s monarch is a hierarchical system.
There were 72 seats, and when a person in the line of succession died or gave up his or her position, the person in the line of succession would take that seat.
There was a time when changes in the hierarchy were happening busily, but after the fall of Balrog’s throne, things were different.
From then on, the rankings were fixed, and changes occurred only once every few decades, and even then only up to the bottom 60th to 70th place.
But now it was different.
Paimon’s territory collapses.
Amon’s lair collapsed, the forest of Marbas burned, and the lands that had lost their masters suddenly lost their power.
News spreads through the Void in an instant.
Starting with the overlords including Baal, all the way to the lower demon lords who rose three ranks in one breath.
Everyone was shocked.
It was well known that a demon expedition had been formed to deal with Balkan. Everyone who dared to know that Baal’s request had been rejected and that the three lower overlords had moved first had heard the news.
But he died!
All three, in less than a day!
Was this the extent of the Balkans’ power?
On the other hand, Baal’s reaction was different.
-Hahaha!
He was laughing heartily now.
There was a strong interest in his eyes.
The subordinate overlords died?
Rather, it was good.
Because those bastards dared to disobey his orders and acted first out of greed.
Rather, it might have been a bigger headache if the Balkans had been hit and the Stone of Mars had been taken away.
But what about now?
The stone of the demon was still safe, and the lynx-like creatures died on their own. Perhaps the other great monarchs who were running like blazing calves would not be able to act rashly.
Because it might look dangerous!
It was a very fortunate thing for Baal, who was advancing from the furthest distance.
And Baal had no intention of giving up the stone of the devil.
