Episode 934
“It is power… .”
Grid narrowed his eyes as he looked at the Demon Lords’ bracelet hanging on Raon’s wrist. His pupils were as thin as gold coins.
“What are you trying to do by growing that bowl?”
Grid gave an ominous look as if trying to understand Lars’ thoughts.
-What nonsense! This is not what the king is doing!
Lars waved his hand as if he was dumbfounded.
-They are all being played by this ghost-like brat! You and everyone else!
The guy screamed for help, but of course Grid couldn’t hear him.
“It is not your concern whether this king destroys the continent or kills God with the power of the demon kings.”
Raon shook his chin arrogantly, as if he could achieve all that.
“That is correct.”
Grid nodded with a thin smile.
“I still doubt you. “I don’t know if it’s the lath or the bowl doing the acting.”
He revealed his quietly shining eyes as if he was still examining himself.
-That’s right! This guy is not the real king! There is no way the King would show such an ugly appearance!
Lars waved his arms up and down, asking me to please find out.
‘As expected, the grid is dangerous.’
Since he borrowed the power and spirit of Ras, he will be seen as Ras even through the glasses worn by Grid.
However, Grid still had no doubts and considered himself a human. He was definitely different from the brazen demon lords I had seen so far.
“But I can’t touch it now. “Either way, the losses will be severe.”
When Grid snapped his fingers, the golden power of <Greed> rose from the air.
Wooooow!
The power of <Greed> came down to his wrist, drawing a graceful trajectory like the tail of a comet.
Hwaaaaaaaaa!
The deep golden light flows like water, and a golden flower bracelet that gives a refreshing feeling blooms on her wrist.
[Some of the power of <Greed> seeps into the soul and body.]
[The power will be unlocked after the adaptation period ends.]
‘hmm?’
Raon’s eyes widened as he saw the power of <Greed> imbued in the golden flower bracelet.
‘what? ‘How much is this?’
Grid handed over the largest amount of the Demon Lords’ powers in one go that he had ever received.
Because the power was similar to that of other demon kings who had developed through training and life, I was in vain without realizing it.
‘I gave you more than Rust.’
I couldn’t help but be suspicious of the grid because I received more copies of <Greed> than Rust’s <Lust>, which I had a favorable opinion of from the beginning.
“grid. “What is your intention?”
Raon frowned as he looked at the grid.
If Grid’s <Greed> had been mixed with other energies, it would have been possible to read the guy’s thoughts, but since it was pure power, it was difficult to know his thoughts.
“It’s an investment.”
Grid calmly waved his hand as if it was no big deal.
“invest?”
“okay. “I want to dip my toes into what you’re trying to do.”
He tasted it, saying it smelled like he could get quite a lot.
“You don’t even know what the king is trying to do?”
“In order to make a big profit, it is important to invest in places that others do not know about. “The investment destination that everyone else knows about is already dry land.”
Grid lifted his chin again, revealing the merchant’s appearance. However, the desire in his eyes seemed to burn even louder.
“My instincts are telling me. If I bet you, you’ll have quite a bit left over. “It doesn’t matter if it’s a ladle or a bowl.”
“… … .”
Raon lowered his eyebrows as he looked at Grid, who was smiling coldly.
‘You still have doubts.’
Even in this situation, Grid was doubting that he was not Lass.
Seeing that he was extremely distrustful of others, it seemed like the Lord of Greed was a good name.
If Lass had a personality like Grid, he might have lost his body long ago.
“Then what is the shape of this flower?”
It was uncomfortable because it was a flower with a very gentle feel, unlike the grid.
“It’s a matter of taste.”
Grid shook his head, reciting exactly what Lars once said.
-Your tastes are kind of shit.
Lars couldn’t think of himself and snorted, mocking Grid.
“I handed over my authority as promised, so I can just go now, right?”
Grid took a step back as if he wanted to return to the demon world.
“Where are you going?”
Rust said he would not let him go and aimed his fingertips filled with the power of <Lust> at Grid’s neck.
“Can’t I just take one bite and send it on my way?”
Gluttony used his strength to open the mouth of <Greed>, which flickered black above Grid’s head as if he was starving.
“Send me away.”
Raon waved his hand at Rust and Gluttony.
“There’s no point in fighting anymore.”

Since he was not a real Lass, the loss was much greater than the benefit he could see by capturing the grid.
If Grid really wanted to die, he might end up squaring off with the two demon lords in front of him, so it was right to let him go now.
“Tsk… .”
Rust clicked his tongue and put down his hand as if he was disappointed.
“I wanted to take a bite… .”
Gluttony licked its lips and closed its black mouth, as if it was really trying to eat the entire grid. Suddenly she became scared.
“As expected, it’s amazing. “I didn’t know that two demon lords who are faithful to their instincts would listen to you.”
Grid stood in front of the gate of the Demon World, still breathless as if he was surprised.
“There will be a day when we can see each other again. “At that time, I will receive the return for my investment.”
He took out a shiny white gold coin from his shirt pocket and threw it.
Percussion.
Raon took the gold coin in his hand and examined it. It didn’t look like it was a gold coin from this world, but an eerily vivid dragon was engraved on its surface.
“I guess I’ll have to save some money for a while. “The damage is enormous.”
Greed muttered that he needed to get busy and entered the gate of the Demon World. He seemed different in personality than when I first saw him.
“ha… .”
Raon let out a shaky breath and stretched out his hand to the door of the demon world. He unleashed Glacia’s cold energy and poured out the power of anger he received from Ras.
Kuwaaaaa!
Ras’ decisive battle, the silver aurora spread out through his hands and froze the huge gate of the demon world in a single moment.
Quad deud deuk!
The gate to the demon world slowly collapsed like a melting glacier, as if its very breath had been cut off by the cold of hell.
As the frozen gate of the Demon World fell from the sky, the blackened demonic energy split open, revealing a rust-colored sky.
From the beginning, I thought it was a dark world, but it originally seemed like a dimension not that different from the continent I lived in.
“I’m still happy that you used that silver aurora with my power… .”
Rust said he had no time left and his cheeks blushed.
“What are you going to do next? Eunwol Majang? If you need more power, I’ll give you more! “You can give me!”
She opened her arms, saying that she could throw herself in exchange for the power.
-Kyaaaaaaa!
Lars screamed and stepped back.
-Drop that thing! It’s really scary!
The guy sniffed, saying this and that was too hard.
“it’s a shame… .”
Gluttony sucked his finger as if he was disappointed that he didn’t get to taste the grid. Unlike Rust, it can be resolved by buying marble ice cream or other delicious food.
“Thank you for coming here.”
Raon nodded, looking at Rust and Gluttony.
“I came because I had no money… .”
Gluttony said he still came because he had no money, and tangled his fingers in his white hair.
“I am grateful! Feel free to call me anytime! I’m just glad you thought of me! “You can take all my skills and my power!”
Rust’s eyes turned pink as if he had lost his mind at the word affection, and he spat out a series of violent words.
-Clrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr .
Lars seemed to be frightened by Rust’s barrage of affection and fell down with a large object in his mouth.
“But why were you in the demon world?”
Raon frowned at Rust.
“Weren’t you with Merlin?”
“We broke up a while ago. She was looking for you alone, and it just so happened that she was in the Demon World… .”
Rust shook his head, saying that he went all the way to the Demon World while looking for him.
‘… ‘Is that possible?’
Raon tilted his chin while looking at Lars.
-Well, I told you. That stalker is the best in this dimension. I still don’t understand how those two properties exist in one body… .
Lars shook his head, saying he couldn’t follow Rust with his head.
“So you don’t know where Merlin is right now?”
Considering the usual Merlin, he should have appeared at least once in this war or in previous fights.
Since she didn’t appear in animal form, I was worried that something had happened to her.
“huh. “It’s been a while.”
“is it… .”
Raon nodded and narrowed his eyes.
“Shall we look for it?”
Rust also seemed to miss Merlin and said he would look for him.
“No, that’s enough…” .”
Since Rust could end up in heaven while looking for Merlin, I thought it would be better to stop him first.
“For now, get out of this dimension. “The king will follow after clearing this place.”
“Okay, I’ll be waiting… .”
Rust frowned and turned around, as if he was going to follow his words even though he didn’t like it.
“Are you going to buy bead ice cream?”
Gluttony used his powers and waved his hand, saying he was hungry.
“There’s an ice cream shop outside, so you and Rust can wait there.”
“huh.”
She nodded approvingly, took Rust’s hand, and disappeared into white light.
-Uh, hey?
Lars looked at himself and stabbed his finger.
-Now, how about giving back the king’s power and soul? It’s all over?
‘… … .’
Raon looked at Ras in silence.
-Why are you opening your eyes like that? You said you’d give it to me when it was over!
The guy trembled in fear, wondering what he was thinking.
‘okay. I’ll give it back.’
Raon placed his hand on Ras’ head and returned all the power and soul he had received.
Fuuuuuuck!
Although he felt a little empty as the tremendous strength that supported him disappeared in an instant, this experience alone will be a great help in his growth.
-That’s strange. I’m not the type of person to give something like this right away… .
Lars frowned as if he was suspicious.
‘What’s strange? ‘I just returned what I borrowed.’
-If you were a normal guy, you would threaten me with this… .
As Lars started pointing his finger and questioning, a blue message appeared before his eyes.
[We have achieved a feat that will remain in the history of the continent.]
[You defeated the owner of the Black Tower.]
[Acknowledged by the monarch of <Greed>.]
[All abilities… .]
[New characteristics… .]
[characteristic… .]
The rewards of this war came to mind and filled my eyes.
-Well, why are there so many!
Lars looked at the message and screamed.
-Of course I know you did a great job, but it’s still too much! It’s not even a status window, and you can’t see it at a glance!
The guy shook his head, saying it made no sense.
‘… … .’
However, Raon took down the reward message without even reading it.
-uh? Why are you doing this?
Lars frowned as if he didn’t understand.
-What about giving power back to King Bon? What on earth are you thinking?
‘Once the fight was over, it felt real. Now is not the time to see that message.’
Raon bit his lip, pushing back his blood-soaked hair.
– Realism? ah… .
Lars seemed to understand what he was saying and let out a low groan.
‘Now is the time to take responsibility.’
Raon let out a heavy sigh and went down to the exit of the dimension where everyone was waiting.
* * *
“hmm… .”
Karun lowered the sword he was holding with difficulty.
‘I don’t know what I saw.’
I thought everything was over with the appearance of the Demon King, but suddenly two more Demon Lords appeared and fought the golden Demon King.
In a fierce battle, the golden demon king gained the upper hand and attacked Raon, but he suddenly created a wave of energy that overwhelmed the three demon kings, ending the fight itself.
I was still dumbfounded by the situation, which was hard to believe even after seeing it with my own eyes, and my heart was pounding like it was going to explode.
“Is it over now?”
Burren approached from behind and swallowed dry saliva.
“Why did you stay here?”
Karun frowned and asked why he stayed when he ordered a retreat.
“Our Jeonju is over there, how can we escape! Even if we die, we must die together!”
Marta shook her head as if she could never go.
“huh. One body… .”
Runan raised his finger as if everyone in the Battle of the Storm was one.
“… is it.”
Originally, I would have pointed it out, but Jeonju. No, she pursed her lips as she looked at Burren, Marta, and Runan, who were thinking about their family. Since Raon ended the whole situation, he had nothing to say.
Whoa whoa.
Raon went down to the ground with a blank look in his eyes.
He walked to the exit of this dimension, looking at the dead people and demons.
“Thank you for your hard work.”
Burren simply bowed his head and said that he had worked hard.
“What is that at the end? “It was like seeing the matriarch!”
Martha raised her hand as if surprised by the overwhelming energy wave.
“Thank you for your invitation today.”
Runaan said it was just amazing and gave it a thumbs up.
“Everyone worked hard.”
Raon smiled as if he lost strength even while hearing everyone’s praise.
“What’s wrong?”
Marta shook her head, looking at Raon’s heavy expression.
“Because it’s not over yet.”
Raon looked out of the dimension and lowered his eyes slightly.
“You mean it’s not over?”
“Is there another one coming?”
Burren and Marta’s lips trembled as if they were startled.
“hmm… .”
“… … .”
However, Karun closed his mouth as if he had read Raon’s thoughts, and Runaan lowered his eyes.
“No, it’s time to feel reality.”
Raon lowered his head, looking at his blood-soaked right hand.
“We have to think about the people who died in this war, and… .”
As I tried to say the name of the child I was picturing in my head, my lips started trembling without realizing it.
“Because there is Lencia.”
A child who was born with a leash tied to a black tower, but did not fall into the darkness and helped those in need more difficult than himself. The child who contributed the most to destroying that huge Black Tower and the Black Tower Lord. And even as he was dying, the child thought of his younger siblings more than himself.
I hoped that he would be happy and promised to take care of his future life, but I was heartbroken as I remembered the child who left without being able to achieve that.
“hmm… .”
“Lencia. yes. “There was that kid.”
“… … .”
Burren, Marta, and Runan also lowered their gaze and bit their lips as if Lencia was in their mind.
-… … .
Lars also kept his mouth shut at that point, as if he had nothing to say.
The injuries suffered by Lencia cannot be healed unless someone is skilled in both sacred power and medicine.
If he had learned a little bit of Auror, he would have survived somehow, but since he was weaker than ordinary children, he could not help but think about Lencia’s death.
‘Lencia. thanks.’
If it weren’t for you, there wouldn’t have been today’s victory.
Raon thanked Lencia and left the Black Tower dimension. As soon as I came out, what I saw was the fountain where I was sitting with Lencia.
There, I told Lencia that only happy things were left for her in the future, and she promised me that she would take care of her younger siblings when she was dying, which made me feel nauseous.
‘I wanted to make sure no one dies anymore.’
Even if I win, it doesn’t feel like I won.
It was when Raon bit his lip and lowered his head.
“Raon!”
The voice of the person I most wanted to hear right now rang from behind the fountain.
