Episode 247
Demon World (5)
“Huyu.”
Jeongdo leaned against a large rock and took a deep breath. Then, I took out an energy bar from my inventory and bit into it with a ‘wagjak’ sound. The sweet taste of chocolate filled my mouth.
Mumbling.
Jeongdo quickly destroyed one energy bar and poured out additional energy bars and beef jerky from his inventory as if that wasn’t enough.
And I only stopped eating after eating a total of 7 energy bars and 3 bags of beef jerky.
“I guess I can survive now.”
It was a grueling fight.
That doesn’t mean they’re strong. In the literal sense of the word, they were terrible, poisonous people.
Even when his allies died before his eyes, he never backed down. When they saw blood, they got even more excited and started running.
The fight naturally became longer, and a certain amount of fatigue accumulated in proportion to the battle time.
“good. “There’s nothing particularly wrong.”
It wasn’t physical fatigue.
The ‘healing reduction’ effect of the breath that passed by the black dragon had already ended, and as a result, the body had completely completed regeneration due to <Transcendent Regeneration> that was activated normally. There was nothing physically wrong except that I was extremely hungry due to the rapid use of a lot of energy.
However, mentally I was quite exhausted. Maintaining a state of concentration for a long time was painful no matter how high the level of the body was.
I wanted to lie down and sleep right away, but I couldn’t. To some extent, I replaced sleep by meditating for a while.
‘Where is this anyway?’
After finishing meditation, he opened his eyes and looked around. No matter where you look, there is only red wilderness. Let alone a village, there wasn’t even a proper living thing to be seen.
If there was a map of the demon world, it would be linked to the <dungeon map>, but since there wasn’t one, I had no choice but to find my way on my own.
And it is much faster for several people to find a path than alone.
The last time I checked the safety of my surroundings, I used the <Calling> skill.
Phew!
Yoo Seon, Seoyoon, Haesik, Serin. Tinia. And even Lord Cheok and Cu Chulainn.
A total of 7 guild members suddenly appeared in front of Jeong Do. They too looked around to see if their summoned body was fascinating and then approached Jeong Do.
“You’re safe. older brother! “Are you hurt anywhere?”
“okay. There was a battle, but it was won. “It’ll be okay around here now.”
“But disciple. Where should we go? “Wherever I look, I see nothing but wasteland?”
“… “I have to look for it now.”
After saying that to Cheok Jun-gyeong, Jeong-do asked Ixia.
“Ixia. “Where does your senses tell you to go?”
<Um… … My senses tell me to stay here.>
“what?”
<Ah, come over here!>
When they looked in the direction Ixia was pointing, there was a demon with huge eyes and bat wings flying towards them.
The guild members tried to attack reflexively, but when Jeong Do stopped them, they all holstered their weapons. Soon, the devil came right in front of Jeong-do and sent out an image from his big eyes.
– Nice to meet you. Warriors of Earth. I am Haonil, the master of this demon world. Can I understand that coming here means that you want to end things with us?
“Drank?!”
“Is this really a letter?”
– It’s similar. Except it’s real time.
“… … “What kind of plan are you planning?”
– What a ploy. It’s just a suggestion. Calm too. Let me ask you one question before making an offer. How were you going to fight us?
Jeongdo did not answer. Who would give you a straight answer if you asked that question?
– At best, the enemy was probably planning on hitting and running with a small number of units, or engaging in one-shot fighting. Isn’t it? But I want to tell you to stop. Even while you are here, the demon world’s invasion of Earth continues. If the fight here continues, eventually no one on Earth will survive.
“… … .”
It was accurate. From the beginning, it was safe to say that there was no other way for the minority to fight against the majority. While Jeongdo was pretending to have an expressionless expression and was making a fuss in his mind, the demon made a suggestion.
– Okay, I’ll do it.
“what?”
– It’s a diary story. Are there eight of you? In that case, let’s prepare eight as well. What is it like? Isn’t it simple and simple?
“… … I have no choice but to ask again. What on earth are you planning? “What benefit does this have for you?”
In the demon world, they have an absolute advantage.
Since it is not bound by the rules of the dimension, it can use all the power of its entire body and its troops are overwhelming. There was no reason to make such a ridiculous suggestion.
-There is no benefit. There are huge benefits.
“What is that?”
– A bloody struggle. The exhilaration of victory. And the pleasure of slaughter. Those things diminish when you share them with others.
“… … .”
– If you don’t like it, you can quit. If you want an army, I’ll send you an army. But I don’t think I would be such a fool as to miss out on this extraordinary offer.
Jeongdo glanced at Ixia. She blinked, signaling that she wasn’t lying. It seemed like the saying that the game should be at least 8:8 was true.
Jeong-do looked at the guild members, but they all said that they would follow Jeong-do’s wishes. After thinking about it carefully, I opened my mouth.
“I accept.”
– The contract has been concluded. This will be a war conducted according to the strict laws of the demon world.
Faaah!
With those words, a bright magic circle appeared at the feet of Jeong Do and his party. It was a kind of conditional magic circle that only worked if both parties agreed to move.
The eight party members were swallowed up by their respective magic circles.
* * * * * *
As soon as Jeong Do realized that he had been space transferred and fell alone, he looked around.
“… … here is?”

It was a vast red wilderness. It was an open plain where it was difficult to see not only living creatures but also natural landmarks.
“haha… … Haha! “The day has finally arrived!”
Startle.
Jeong-do hurriedly turned around due to the mad energy he felt behind his back. Khaled was there. Khaled was going crazy not far away.
His red-stained eyes clearly showed how excited he was.
“It’s the best day of my life. Calm too. Aren’t you like that too? “Don’t you feel like you’re going crazy because your heart is so full?”
“… … “I feel like I’m going crazy with frustration.”
“okay? I’m sorry. But it’s okay. Because your opinion doesn’t really matter anyway. “What’s important is that we’re on this stage alone, and it’s obvious what’s going to happen.”
“Where am I?”
“Well, that’s it? I don’t know the specific location. But from the looks of it, it doesn’t seem that far away from the Demon God Castle. But calm down too.”
With those words, Khaled’s appearance disappeared from Jeongdo’s eyes.
And after a while.
Jeong Do reflexively transformed the King of All Diseases into a shield of the cross due to the strong sense of death he felt in his right back.
“Do you think you have time to worry about other things?”
And as soon as Khaled spoke, a powerful blow struck the shield.
Quang!
“Keuuk!”
With a loud noise like a shell exploding, the shield was blown away. Even though he blocked it with a shield, the impact felt like his shoulder would be broken.
Even though he was shocked, he was able to balance his weight in the air and soon land on the ground. Still, I wasn’t able to fully exert my strength, so I was pushed back quite a distance.
“Concentrate. That is, if you don’t want it to end all at once. “Does this body look strong enough to win while focusing on other things?”
“… … “That’s absurd for a guy who barely survived with his extra life.”
In the not-so-distant past, there was an incident where the heavenly world and the demonic world formed an alliance and invaded the wireless world, and Khaled was the leader of that invasion.
It was a perfect surprise operation that caught the moment of surprise, and no one thought that the Allied Forces would be defeated.
But unfortunately, there was a degree there at the time.
Not only did he simply exist, he succeeded in leveling up <Communication-lv.3> and achieved <Communication-lv.4>, and was able to obtain the power to transcend the laws of the universe.
Its power is truly astonishing. Khaled of the Hellfire, said to be the strongest in the Demon World, collapsed without being able to withstand even a single degree of resistance.
If Khaled had not been a descendant of the Phoenix, he would have probably died on the spot.
“You died twice and then attacked again. Don’t you think that the demon race is a group of people who give up their shame and gain their lives? “You should be ashamed.”
He openly asked why he kept making jokes about losing, but surprisingly, Khaled was truly a shameless person.
“Take it out.”
“what?”
“Bring out your full potential. I already understand that your tactic is possession. “I’ll wait for you as long as you want, so call me the strongest one.”
“… … .”
He wasn’t a shameless guy, he was just crazy.
To think that he could throw away everything, even his own life, for the sake of battle.
At least I decided to just give up on understanding.
I’m sick of it.
Talking to him was itself a waste of time. The right choice was to take him down as quickly as possible and go help my teammates.
“I will do as you wish. Ixia equipment number 5.”
<Yes! Master!>
Along with Ixia’s answer, a golden spear was held in Jeongdo’s hand. It was an impressive spear with red blood stains seeping into the blade.
Spear of Longinus.
It was the spear with which a soldier named Longinus pierced Jesus’ side to confirm his death.
It was originally just an ordinary spear, but it became a treasure after soaking in the blood of a god. Along with the Holy Grail containing the blood of Jesus, it was an item that could be considered one of the two most sacred relics of Christianity.
From the Spear of Longinus held in his hand, powerful divine power began to flow into Jeongdo’s body. It was an energy that was completely opposite to that of the demon world.
‘Good.’
Divine power reminiscent of a god and the Spear of Longinus. If this much material is collected, the <Location Draw> will soon become a confirmed draw. Without hesitation at all, I executed the <Relationship Draw>.
Pot!
A business card fell on Jeongdo’s head. The business cards that fell were a beautiful white color with not a single trace of dirt on them.
‘uh?’
no way. He’s white? barely?
I was momentarily embarrassed, but fortunately, that embarrassment didn’t last long. She noticed that the white business card falling on her head was not a ‘white business card’.
Although the colors were the same, the energy felt from the business card was so great that it was impossible to believe it was white. Her overflowing spiritual power wrapped her in a warm embrace. It was the kind of energy that made it seem like no evil being could invade this place.
It is certainly.
Picked it right!
The moment when Do-do is so sure and clenches his fists.
A strange thing happened.
Phew!
In an instant, explosive black mana began to surge on the ground where Jeongdo and Khaled were standing. And that mana soared into the air faster than the business card fell and began to spread throughout the demon world.
And then a shocking notification window appeared in front of Jeong Do’s eyes.
<The primordial fragment is activated.>
<Completely nullifies white, good, and holy attributes within a certain area. Conversely, a significant bonus is given to black, demon, and dark attributes.>
<Unable to load entity with last name attribute. The load is canceled.>
<The transcendental gods begin to pay attention to the magic energy that is infinitely close to the source. Please be careful. There is a low probability that the Transcendent God will intervene. The more powerful the transcendental god is, the more attention will be paid to it.>
“what?!”
The extent was shocking. Forced cancellation of the load?! Black Winry had been forced to cancel once before, but it was possible because she was an agent of the universe.
Are you canceling skills based on <Miracle of the Beginning>? That doesn’t make sense… … No, wait a minute.
‘Fragment of the beginning?’
It was something I had heard of. No, it was not something I had ever heard of, but something I personally benefited from.
Because it was the item used in the wireless world to evolve <Communication-lv.3> to level 4!
“shit. Haonil. This crazy guy. “What are you going to do if you turn this on?”
But Khaled was equally embarrassed. He cursed at the Demon God in an embarrassed voice and then looked at Jeong-do. And when he realized that he had failed to possess Jeong Do, his face hardened slightly. For some reason, he realized that the Demon God had activated the primordial fragment.
‘In the end, I accepted Ramon’s life-threatening advice.’
Did you not believe in yourself? Or did he choose the one with the highest probability of victory as a demon god?
Whatever it was, I didn’t like it. I want to grab the devil by the collar right now… I held back. Because there was something that had to be defeated first.
Khaled walked towards Jeongdo. The closer I got, the more I felt a powerful spirit coming from Jinjeongdo Island.
‘also. ‘You’re strong.’
Truly delicious food is worth eating even when it gets cold. Even though he couldn’t possess, it was still food worth eating for Khaled.
Khaled said to Jeongdo.
“It’s a shame that the excitement was ruined, but… … Calm too. You should die here. You wouldn’t call it cowardly, would you? Unless you’re an idiot, you would have expected to be penalized for attacking the Demon World’s headquarters.”
“… Are you stuck in a penalty? who?”
He chuckled as if it was somewhat absurd. Are you mistakenly thinking that you have already won just because you have blocked the loading of compatible attributes?
I was embarrassed. However, he was embarrassed not because he thought he would lose, but because he witnessed something surprising and unexpected.
Of course, not being able to load a s*xual attribute type being is a huge blow. It was no exaggeration to say that the amount of load that could be loaded was reduced by almost half. Moreover, it was a painful loss to not be able to load them as they were demons and supreme saints.
However, not all beings called Lords are sacred.
For example, Lucifer. The leader of the fallen angels would react to this dense magical energy. In the current situation, it won’t be that difficult to select a person using the <Relationship Draw>.
However, I used different skills to a different degree.
<72 Demon summons.>
thud!
A huge roulette with a total of 72 slots fell in front of Jeong-do’s eyes. And it started spinning vigorously.
The notification window said.
The Transcendent God pays attention to the fragments of the beginning. And the more powerful a being possesses magical energy, the more interest it will show.
So, if all candidates were made up of demons, wouldn’t the one with the most powerful demon energy be selected?
And the intention was exactly successful.
As soon as the roulette stopped, thick magical energy began to surge from inside Do-do’s body.
“what?!”
The demon energy was so huge that it made even Khaled of the world hesitate and take a step back. Jeongdo constantly radiated energy as if he wanted to cover the entire world with demonic energy.
The space where the roulette stopped was written as follows.
Solomon 72 devil.
1st place.
Baal of Destruction.
<I miss you.>
Baal said this as he felt the primordial demonic energy that was covered in the demon world.
It was the moment when the first monarch of hell set out to conquer the demon world.
