[Kukkeukkeuk.]
The moment the Demon King descended, the man felt the air around him change.
Tsk tsk tsk…
The magic energy inside the barrier centered around the Demon King was growing thicker. Like ink quickly spreading across a sheet of paper, the Demon King’s power was encroaching upon the surrounding area.
Kookookookook!
Something rose up behind the Demon King. A large throne made of hundreds of skulls.
As the Demon King leaned back on his throne, the skeletons decorating the throne began to chatter their teeth together, making an unpleasant noise.
[Hmm. A throne made of human skulls isn’t so bad.]
‘What kind of guy is he? I can’t tell just by looking at him.’
The man did not move rashly. The timing for a surprise attack had already passed. Now was the time to find out information about the opponent.
We need to find out the enemy’s true name so we can find a way to deal with him.
‘I also have something I wanted to ask.’
Clunk clunk clunk.
As the number of skeletons supporting the throne continued to increase, the position of the throne gradually increased.
[Human, do not be afraid.]
The Demon King looked down at the man from a height of more than ten meters. As if it was natural and familiar.
A smile appeared on the Demon King’s lips.
[I am a more generous king than you think.]
As the Demon King stretched out his hand to the side, a staff appeared from thin air and was caught in his hand.
A two-headed green snake flicked its tongue from the end of the staff.
[He is also a king who recognizes and employs the necessary talents.]
Puhwaaaaah!
In that moment, an enormous amount of magical energy burst out from the Demon King’s body.
A deep furrow formed between the man’s eyebrows under the powerful pressure that weighed down his entire body.
‘Demon King… He’s definitely on a different level.’
Although he had the same body as the one the man had just killed, the Demon King had powers of a different dimension.
The difference in literal ‘level’.
It was like this even though he wasn’t the demon lord who had descended in his true form.
‘That’s nothing compared to the real Demon King.’
“Employing talented people… What does that mean?”
At the question, the Demon King’s eyes lit up.
[Wow. To be able to withstand this much magic so calmly… All the humans I saw through the eyes of this foolish human were weak as worms.]
The Demon King continued speaking, licking his lips with his long, snake-like tongue. His voice was dripping with greed.
[I’m becoming more and more greedy for you.]
“···Are you telling me to become your subordinate?”
Hehe.
A hideous smile appeared on the Demon King’s lips.
[No matter what dimension he rules, the king prefers to have a local governor.]
The snake’s tongue, split into two ends, moved strangely.
[Power, might, immortality. I can make any desire you have a reality.]
Kiiing-!
The Demon King’s eyes glowed red.
[If you become my subject, I will appoint you as governor to rule this land on my behalf.]
The Demon King’s voice had the power to make people feel dazed. Just listening to it made me feel like it was really going to happen.
Tsk tsk tsk.
The Demon King raised a huge magical energy behind his back like a confetti. It had the shape of a multi-headed snake.
[I ask you, rare human being. Will you share eternal glory with me?]
The Demon King liked the human in front of him.
A mere human who tried to ruin his own plans and dared to injure the body on which the King would descend.
But wouldn’t it be possible to catch one’s eye only if one has this level of ability?
-Keeeeeek!
The Demon King spoke as he powerfully activated his Demon Eye. His voice rang out loud.
[[Human. Kneel. Swear allegiance with your soul. All my glory will shine upon you!]]
-Kwakwakwakwakwakwa!
The demon lord’s magic that had taken over the space pressed down on the great man’s shoulder. If it were a normal person, it would have caused them to go crazy or their entire body to explode.
The man thought about it for a moment.
“······.”
And he got down on one knee.
thud.
The Demon King looked down at the great man with a satisfied face. He smiled kindly at the first subject he had gathered from Earth.
[Kekekeke. I will treasure you.]
“Your Majesty, before I pledge my allegiance, there is something I wish to ask you.”
The man raised his head and opened his mouth. The Demon King’s pleased expression became slightly distorted.
What a question.
That was not behavior befitting a loyal subject.
However, since he was the first subject to be taken in upon coming to Earth, the Demon King decided to be especially generous.

[I will grant you special permission. What are you curious about?]
“I have seen the power of a being similar to yours in the past.”
[···What?]
The Demon King’s expression hardened. The power of a being similar to himself?
Are you saying that the other demon lords have moved too?
[Tell me in detail!]
The man asked a question, embellishing the facts.
“I felt a similar power in the body of a girl as I felt in you. A great wizard I know said, ‘This is a scar, a fragment, or a seed left by a certain Demon Lord.’ The girl controls the power of fire.”
[······.]
The Demon King listened to the man’s story with a serious expression. The man observed the man’s expression and asked the most important thing.
“Is this something you did?”
The Demon King sitting on the Skull Throne shook his head.
Giving power to another being? He was not the kind of king to do such a dangerous thing.
[I have never done such a thing.]
“Then do you know who did it? I have a feeling it’s bothering me.”
The Demon King’s expression became displeased, as he was displeased with himself for giving such an answer.
[I don’t know.]
“Oh. I see.”
The man stood up, patted his knees, and looked the Demon King up and down as if he were evaluating an object.
“Hmm. Now that I think about swearing allegiance, I’m a bit hesitant.”
[what···.]
A look of confusion crossed the Demon King’s face. It was a reaction he had never experienced before in his life, so the Demon King’s voice as he asked back was somewhat timid.
[···What are you worried about?]
Thud thud.
The man walked towards the Demon King’s throne, folding the fingers of his left hand one by one.
“I don’t know because I haven’t tried that, but changing jobs isn’t something you do lightly. There are a lot of things to consider. First of all, annual salary, employee benefits, company size, whether or not to work overtime…”
The man, who had folded four fingers, spoke while wiggling his last remaining little finger.
“Well, overall it’s good. But there’s one thing that’s not so good.”
[her···.]
The Demon King thought for a moment about how much he should tolerate the words of this overly arrogant human.
···For now, I decided to listen a little more.
[What are you dissatisfied with?]
The man raised his head and looked up at the Demon King.
A disgusting being sitting on a throne made of human skulls, looking down at the earth.
One corner of the man’s mouth curled up.
“My boss at work is such a f*cking idiot. Isn’t he? Balam.”
[How about my true name···!]
Bam!
The moment Balaam rose from his throne in surprise, the great man had already begun his attack.
At the same time that Shalit and the Heavenly Sword were floating in the air and flying towards Balam,
Drrrrrr!
Tihtal’s watch transformed into a hand cannon, covering his entire left arm. Woof! Energy gathered at the tip of the hand cannon.
At the same time, the Great Man pulled out the Heavenly Demon Sword with his right hand. A blue energy surged from the Heavenly Demon Sword.
Clang! Clang!
Balaam swung his staff and struck down Shalit and the Heavenly Sword. He shouted in an angry voice.
[You worm who doesn’t even know the subject! I’ll catch you and drag you to the eternal hell… What, what are you doing!]
“First, let’s destroy this dirty magic circle.”
When Balam rushed to stop the man, the man had already thrust the Heavenly Demon Sword into the ground.
Phew!
A spider web-like spread of blood starting from the spot where the Cheonmagum was stuck.
The place where the great man walked and stopped was exactly the center of the magic circle.
[I can’t stop!]
“싫어 이 개새끼야.”
The Great One injected his power once more into the Heavenly Demon Sword stuck in the floor.
Crack, crack, crack!
The roof he was standing on began to shake and collapse. Balaam’s eyes erupted with an ominous gleam.
[I will tear you apart and kill you myself!]
And then the roof started to collapse.
Kwakwakwakwakwakwakwak!
The magic circle carved on the roof collapsed, and Balam’s skeletal throne also crumbled. Balam’s claws, in anger, clawed fiercely at the space where the great man had been.
WHEEK!
The man jumped straight down the hole he had made. He swung the Heavenly Demon Sword with his right hand to release his energy, and used the hand cannon in his left hand to destroy the inner walls of the building as they came into his way.
-Pubberbubbubung!
-Kwakwakwakwakwang!
As the wall was destroyed, the people who had been fused into the wall and were in pain were also destroyed. The Great Man swung his sword without hesitation and fired his hand cannon, destroying them.
‘You’re better off this way than having every last drop of your life sucked out of you.’
By the time he jumped from the rooftop and reached the ground, the man had destroyed more than half of the wall.
-Kwakwakwakwakwang!
He destroyed the magic circle that supplied power to the Demon King, and even destroyed the sacrifices that formed its basis.
thud!
The man who had gotten down on the floor muttered.
“The groundwork has been laid.”
[Kuaaaah!]
Balam’s attack landed on the great man’s head. The great man moved to the side and swung the Heavenly Demon Sword.
Kyaaang!
The Heavenly Demon Sword and the staff clashed, sending sparks flying.
The man used the recoil force to step back, and aimed the hand cannon in his left hand at Balam.
-Pubberbubbubung!
-Pubberbubbubung!
Concentrated magical energy cannons exploded one after another on Balam’s body. However, Balam, who was covered in a thick layer of magical energy like armor, was only pushed back a little.
[You human! How dare you deceive the King!]
Magic energy poured out from Balaam’s body, which soon became dozens of black snakes.
Kyaaaaah!
Kyaaaaah!
The snakes opened their mouths wide and attacked the man.
Several attacks passed by, but the man dodged between the snakes and swung his Heavenly Demon Sword. At the same time, he fired his hand cannon without stopping.
The Heavenly Sword and Shalit, which were floating in the sky, also moved without stopping. The two swords pierced Balam’s body according to the Great Man’s will.
Phew! Phew!
Balaam’s body, pierced through his stomach and side, staggered once. However, the wounds healed in an instant.
Swish.
Balaam roared with his body quickly restored to normal.
[You came to me with your teeth believing in such a pitiful talent!]
The man looked at the sight and narrowed his eyebrows.
“After all, the Demon King is the Demon King.”
Despite destroying the magic circle that drained human life force to provide power, Balam did not appear to be weakened at all.
The man could guess the reason.
‘It must be because of the erosion barrier.’
[Hahahahahahahaha!]
An erosion barrier that extends throughout the building.
Since the great magic that overlayed the environment of the Demon World onto the Earth was unleashed, the Demon King was able to exert almost the same power here as in the Demon World.
Near immortal resilience.
Magic power that never dries up.
And each one has the ‘power of the king.’
There is a reason why there is a saying that you should never fight the Demon King within the erosion barrier.
[You’re so good at getting out of things!]
Perhaps judging that it was impossible to chase the great man at that speed, Balam stopped in place.
-Koosh!
Balaam’s staff struck the ground. At that moment, a strong wave spread out from the staff.
Balaam waved his staff and chanted a spell in an unknown language. A magic circle of summoning appeared in the sky and on the ground, and beasts of the demon world poured out from within it.
Kiyaaaaah!
Krrrrrrrr···.
The demons, with their grotesque shapes, tried to surround the man. The man stepped back and extended his hand.
“Wait a minute! Phew… There are a lot.”
The man looked around and sighed. Balam slowly approached, closing in on the surrounding area.
[Kekekekekeke. Are you trying to surrender now? Looking at your skills, it seems a waste to just kill you.]
Balaam flicked his serpent’s tongue. The great man retrieved the Heavenly Sword and Shalit.
Knock knock.
At the same time, the hand cannon in his left hand was also released.
With only the Heavenly Demon Sword in his right hand, the Great Man spoke to Balam.
“If I surrender, will you spare my life?”
[Kukuk. I could give you even greater glory than that.]
Balaam scanned the man’s body with his sparkling eyes.
‘How can a mere human have such a strong body?’
Even though he had magic energy inside his body, he was able to move freely even within the erosion barrier that was no different from the demon world.
What if Balaam himself takes possession of the body?
Obviously, you will be able to draw out much greater strength than your current body.
Balaam licked his lips and said,
[I must take your body.]
The man chuckled as if it was absurd.
“In Korea, in times like this, we say, ‘I don’t even think about who will give me rice cakes, but I drink kimchi stew first.’ It’s called kimchi stew drinking for short.”
The Great Man lifted the Cheonma Sword and aimed it at Balam. He spoke while swinging his sword.
“And I told you earlier, right? I originally came here just to ‘reconnaissance’.”
[Kuk. What are you talking about now···.]
“It’s true.”
At that moment, the great man raised his power to the highest level in one breath and rushed at Balam.
The reason I recovered the sword and disarmed the hand cannon was for one reason.
To put all your strength into just one attack.
‘If it’s Pacheonmu (破天舞)···.’
An incredible magical power boiled up at the tip of the great man’s sword.
Feeling momentarily uneasy, Balaam shouted to the beasts he had summoned.
[Stop him!]
Kiyaaaaaaa-!!
The beasts of the demon world roared in unison and blocked the great man. Their fierce aura seemed like it could stop even a mountain from falling, but
Whee!
The great man had already passed them by like a ray of light.
-Pubberbubbubung!
-Pubberbubbubung!
After the Great Man passed by, the bodies of the demons exploded. The Great Man rushed towards Balam.
The Heavenly Demon Sword flashed purple light.
‘I got caught.’
The moment the Great Man felt the sensation at the tip of the sword,
Choaaaah!
Balam’s body was split vertically, and the man had reached the end of the barrier.
“Phew, phew···.”
The man looked back, his breathing ragged. A stream of blood ran down the corner of his mouth.
[Krrrrrrr···.]
Swish. Swish.
With a painful groan, Balaam’s body, which had been split in two, was reattached and came back to life.
“···You won’t die even at this level.”
Since it was something that was expected to some extent, the man was not greatly disappointed by the sight.
[Kwaaak! How dare you, how dare you, how dare you···!!]
Balaam staggered up from the floor, his face horribly distorted.
At that moment, Balaam felt all kinds of emotions.
Anger, shame, madness, and fear···!
The man spoke with a pale face.
“Let’s stop here for today. I’m only here to scout.”
Balaam said with a pained face.
[Ugh… Do you think I… will let you go!]
“If you are confident, come with me.”
Sizzle.
The man tore a part of the erosion barrier and warned Balam.
“Then I will kill you for sure.”
After giving a stern warning, the man escaped the erosion barrier.
[···Kuaaaaah!!!]
Balaam could only scream in place and did not chase after the man.
