Episode 931
Although he just looked like a handsome merchant, that man was engulfed in an absolute aura that even transcendental people could not possess.
As I faced the golden eyes that revealed my desires, I was filled with fear and tension as if my heart would explode.
‘Grid, the lord of greed… .’
Raon looked at the young man with black hair and blonde eyes and pressed his lips down.
‘Why is this guy here?’
The man who appeared to be a wealthy merchant was Greed, the lord of greed who had descended on the Holy Kingdom of Super.
Looking at the monocle, which is said to reveal the opponent’s true nature, and his neatly ironed shirt, I was reminded of the overwhelming force he showed at the time.
‘This is dangerous.’
Grid is a demon lord whom Ras recognizes as his natural rival. Since he was the highest ranking being among the monarchs of the Demon World, he could not win even if he and Chamber were in normal condition.
But now he is unable to lift a finger, and Chamber is receiving treatment from Saint Olga using magic right up until his death.
Karun, too, has lost all of his strength as he has to fight off Black King Siegel and the high-ranking demons all by himself. There was no chance of winning in a fight at all.
-I was hoping it wouldn’t come out… .
Lars frowned deeply as he looked at the grid.
-As expected, that gold guy was connected to this tower.
‘What are you talking about?’
Raon just turned his eyes and looked at Lars.
-Hasn’t there been a time in the past when a guy from this tower came out and tried to kill you and the King’s men? He made the King himself come forward.
‘Orgos, the Flame Demon Lord?’
-I don’t know the name. Anyway, the stench of Grid was in the air when I fought that guy. When he came in here, he smelled like money, so I wondered if it was me, but it was me.
Lars clicked his tongue briefly, saying that it seemed like Grid made Black Tower grow.
‘… ‘I don’t remember.’
Raon lowered his eyebrows deeply. Since he couldn’t remember anything, he must have said it while he was unconscious.
‘No, whatever happens, that’s not important right now.’
Since Grid has already appeared, it doesn’t matter whether this is his power or not. Now all I had to think about was how to get out of here.
Quad deud deuk!
With his own power, Grid tore open the frozen door to the demon world and walked out of the dimension.
When I met his eyes, goosebumps rose up to the base of my neck, as if death had come to me. It felt like my very soul was being distorted by such an overwhelming presence.
‘Why is it this guy… .’
If Envy had come out, there might have been a way to fool it, but it is impossible to fool the grid.
‘Because I have those glasses.’
The monocle that Grid wears is a special artifact that shows the essence of existence.
Unlike other demon lords, he knew through the monocle that he was not Lass, so he could not act.
“Is it you again?”
Grid slightly lifted his monocle and twisted his mouth.
“Ras’ bowl.”
Although he showed himself fighting as the Lord of Wrath, he did not think of himself as Lass, but referred to himself as a vessel.
I felt uncomfortable, and just hearing the voice made my heart ache as if it were being pricked by a needle.
-No matter how much you are, it would be impossible to deceive that goldsmith.
Lars looked at himself and snorted.
-It’s the same with the monocle, but it doesn’t make sense for the real king to be in the same state he is now because of that earthworm.
The guy shook his head, saying that acting wouldn’t work this time.
-Besides, even if the main king descends, it won’t be easy to push that guy out.
Lars lowered his eyebrows as if he was not pleased.
-Right now, your mind and body are all broken, so even if the real king comes, it will be difficult for you to regain your strength. Of course, the King’s strength itself is not normal… .
The guy sighed, saying that the situation itself was the worst.
‘No, it actually worked out well.’
-what?
Lars widened his blue eyes as if asking what he was saying.
‘If you accept it as a vessel, you can act as a vessel. ‘Because he doesn’t judge you weakly.’
If Grid accepted himself as Ra’s now, that’s more of a problem. Since Ras was discovered to be weak, it would have been much better to evaluate him as a vessel like he is now.
‘It’s best if you don’t show up today and drive off the grid.’
Since his body and mind are currently damaged, the shock his soul will have to endure when Lass descends will be much greater.
Since the previous wounds hadn’t fully recovered, I didn’t want to burden him any more.
‘I have a plan, but I don’t know if it will work out.’
A way to drive out the grid came to mind, but there was a necessary part to do it.
If you try and don’t get the situation you want, it can be really dangerous.
‘I guess I’ll just have to take my time.’
Raon slowly caught his breath as he began the preliminary work for escape.
“It seems like this was your faction.”
I pressed down my trembling heart with the power of the ring of fire and looked into Grid’s eyes.
“also? Did you know?”
Grid frowned in surprise.
“The Lord of Wrath has long said that your stench wafts through this land. “He frowned, saying it smelled like dirty money.”
I slightly adapted what Lars said and told it to Grid.
-Eh?
Lars’ eyes widened as if he was surprised by his words.
-Yes, what are you going to do again? .

The guy shook his chin as if he was embarrassed.
“When I saw you before, you were acting like Lars, but now you’ve given up?”
Grid narrowed his eyes as if trying to understand his intentions.
“It looks like we can’t bring him back in that state, right?”
“No way.”
Raon shook his head with peaceful eyes.
“He sees everything and feels everything. He’s just not worth dealing with when you’re scared.”
He raised the lath as much as possible and lowered his hand in an elegant manner.
-Gah, why are you suddenly sending the main king to the air!? What are you trying to do! I’m anxious! I feel anxious!
Lars jumped up and shook his head.
[I can’t believe you don’t tremble in front of such a monster! He is also my master!]
Zircon nodded greatly as if impressed.
-You shut up!
Ras hit Zircon on the back of the head as if he was displeased.
[Kwaek… .]
Zircon lowered his head, rubbing the back of his head, which now seemed to have a bump.
‘also… .’
Raon took a deep breath and clenched his fists.
‘Grid doesn’t want to deal with Ra’s.’
If Grid really had nothing to worry about, his head would have been cut off or his entire body would have exploded before he even got out of that door.
But that guy tried to talk to me first and check on his situation. In other words, he is on guard against Lars, who may pop out at any moment.
‘It’s as expected. If I put pressure on his psychology like this, I might be able to push him out.’
As a monarch of greed, Grid seemed to have a merchant-like mentality.
If he was made aware that fighting Ras would result in losses, there was a high possibility that he would withdraw voluntarily.
“Watch and feel everything? “That ignorant guy?”
Grid let out a sigh as if it was absurd.
“He just mastered everything. There is no need for magic or spells. “Because the way he is going is the way.”
Ras said that he usually does not know much about spells or magic and that he uses his power instinctively. By releasing it with his respect, it stimulated Grid’s psychology once more.
“hmm… .”
Grid frowned as if he sensed Lars’ presence through his words.
-Hearing your praise makes my hands and feet tremble! There is no sincerity in it at all!
Lars waved his arm, asking if he was going to say something like that, please put at least a drop of sincerity into it.
‘Because I’m not talking about you. Never mind.’
Unlike Lars, I was satisfied because it seemed to work well for Grid.
-No, just praise the king! What kind of bullshit is it that you are not speaking to the king!
Lars gritted his teeth saying he didn’t understand, but didn’t even look in that direction for fear of losing concentration.
“Is the black top liquor the vessel you raised?”
Raon waved his hand as he looked into the golden eyes of the Black Tower owner.
“Raise it? bowl?”
Grid snorted as if it was absurd.
“No way. “I’m just one of my partners.”
He calmly shook his head, saying that the owner of the Black Tower was not his vessel, nor did he raise him.
“I guess it was ‘that guy’ who raised humans… .”
Grid frowned as if remembering something. He didn’t seem to be speaking to himself.
“That guy?”
“Don’t you know? “It seems your master, who supposedly knows everything, didn’t tell you.”
He curled his lips as if sarcastically repeating what he said.
“The Lord of Wrath cares nothing about personal matters. He just accepts everything.”
Raon straightened his back, looking straight into Grid’s golden eyes.
“If you have any complaints, come at me. “The Lord of Wrath said he would come out right now.”
I threw a gamble with my chin raised.
“Hmm… … .”
Grid opened his calm eyes as if trying to read his thoughts.
* * *
“What is that… .”
Karun’s chin trembled as he looked at the black-haired, blond-eyed young man standing in front of the demon world’s gate.
‘How could such a monster… .’
The Demonic Spirit of the Black Tower Lord was astounding, but the being above him surpassed him.
Just looking at it takes my breath away and crushes my soul. The world itself seemed to be held in the hands of that man.
“Ugh… .”
“Off… .”
“Aaaah!”
The swordsmen of Gwangpungjeon and Jungmujeon gasped and fell to their knees at the absolute energy wave emitted by the black-haired, blond-eyed young man. There were many people who lost their minds because of the overwhelming difference in class.
“What is that bastard again!”
“shit. I can’t breathe… .”
“Ugh… .”
Marta, Burren, Runaan, and other Grand Masters were barely able to hold their own, but it seemed like they wouldn’t be able to hold out for that long.
‘I’m sure it’s a demon.’
That too at the level of a demon lord.
Most people think that the opposite of demonic energy is divine power, but in reality, there are cases where demonic energy is the opposite of sacred.
Seeing as the paladins could not stand it at all and fainted immediately, it was clear that the man was at least a demon king level.
The good news was that Saint Olga did not faint and was healing the chamber. She would have been in a lot of danger if she had fainted too, but she felt a little relieved.
‘relief? Relief?’
Is that right?
Chamber has fainted, and he and Raon are unable to produce even half of their original strength. There was no way to stop those demons.
‘No, even if he was fine, it’s impossible.’
I felt like I couldn’t compete with anyone at that level unless Glenn came. The word despair, which she had forgotten until now, appeared in her mind.
‘How should I do this… hmm?’
Wanting to at least save the children, I looked away and saw Raon. He did not get discouraged even in front of those powerful demons, but stood proudly and had a conversation.
Even in this far away land, my hands were shaking because of the demon’s energy, and I was shocked that even in such an exhausted state, it did not retreat.
‘Is this really buying me time?’
During the conversation, Raon seemed to be drawing the demon’s attention to himself, as if telling him to get out of this place.
“Saint.”
Karun nodded, holding Olga’s trembling shoulder.
“Get out of here as quickly as possible.”
He left the chamber in charge of her and instructed his other subordinates to move out as quickly as possible.
‘Raon… .’
Karun looked at Raon, who was standing unwaveringly, and raised his hand holding the sword.
‘At least I won’t let you die alone.’
* * *
“Hmm.”
Grid looked at himself and took a quick bite.
“… … .”
Raon raised his fingertips while receiving Grid’s explicit gaze.
‘You’re judging me.’
No, it would be to keep Lars in check, not me.
Previously, Grid had suffered a lot of damage from being attacked by Lars who suddenly appeared while ignoring him.
He spent over hundreds of millions of gold coins and was seriously injured, so he seemed to be more cautious than before.
‘We must continue to let people know that Lars is alive and well.’
To be honest, there is a possibility that the descent of the Demon King itself would be impossible since both his body and mind were broken.
But the grid doesn’t know that. We had to use the difference in information to create a situation in which it could retreat on its own.
“What is Lars doing now?”
Grid lifted his chin and rolled his eyes.
“You say you want to crush that greasy face.”
Raon glanced at Lars once and nodded.
-When will the king come? But you said it well! Shaving your face is so bad!
Lars nodded, saying he liked the words.
-But will you be okay?
The guy took a quick bite.
‘what?’
-Your guy seems to think Grid is a merchant, and actually acts like a merchant, but his roots are demons. They are also the greediest demons in the demon world.
Lars shook his head, saying that it would be dangerous to think too simply.
“actually… .”
I took a long sip while looking at the black tower where the grid had collapsed and the dead demons beneath it.
“Now that the war is over and Ras is behind you, it would not be a good decision to start a fight here. “Even if I kill you and avoid Ras, the broken trend will not return.”
Contrary to Lars’ words, he waved his hand up and down, making the judgment of a merchant.
“But I…” .”
Grid’s eyes flashed like thunder lighting up the night sky.
“I’m greedy for you.”
“what?”
“There is only a few years difference compared to when I saw it at Super, but the fact that it has reached that level is an incomprehensible amount of growth even if it is called Ra’s vessel.”
Two letters, desire, burned above his golden eyes.
“Even if I face Lars’ wrath, I think it wouldn’t be a bad idea to invest properly.”
Grid stretched out his hand, letting out a bizarre laugh.
-Bow down!
‘ah… .’
Lars told me to duck, but I couldn’t avoid it. He was neither fast nor slow, but Grid’s hand gestures contained an absolute flow that could not be avoided even if his body was in normal condition.
‘Damn… .’
No matter how I moved, I felt like I couldn’t avoid that hand. It felt like his soul was already caught in the grip of the grid.
-This is frustrating!
As Lars gritted his teeth and was about to step forward, a scent as fragrant as a flower and yet one that sent shivers down his spine wafted through the wind.
Just as I was dazed by the scent, a sweet scent like ice cream sprinkled with fruit juice followed.
Kwaaaaaaaaaa!
Before he knew it, a woman with pink hair and a girl with white hair appeared in front of him and slapped Grid’s hand away.
“You guys… .”
Greed frowned as he looked at the two women standing as if protecting Raon.
“You remembered me.”
A woman with pink hair turned around, ignoring the grid. Lightly sparkling pink eyes. She was Rust.
“I put my power into your skills, so even if I die now, I have no time left.”
Rust said he was so happy and smiled that he couldn’t describe it.
“money… .”
The white-haired girl grabbed her sleeve with her fingers in her mouth. It was Gluttony, the Lord of Gluttony.
“I ran out… .”
Gluttony blinked his red eyes, saying he needed money to buy ice cream again.
-Kyaaaaaaa!
As soon as Lars saw Rust, he forgot what he was trying to do to block the grid and backed away, screaming.
‘I didn’t know you both would come visit me?’
Raon looked between Gluttony and Rust and curled his lips.
‘if it goes like this… .’
Maybe we can gain the power of the grid.
