Episode 956
The vast blue light that seems to contain the heavens and the cold gray light that seems to have been drawn from the depths of hell clash in a world of pure white snow flowers.
Kuwaaaaaah!
A terrifying storm of light rose up, and explosions of magic followed one after another. In the space where the heavens and earth seemed to be colliding, two beings of different colors clashed violently.
Cheeeeeeeeeing!
As the rivalry between Las and Lazy continued endlessly, the magic blooming between them condensed into small glass beads.
Wooooow!
The silver sword that unfolded from Lars’ hand revealed the power to freeze the world, and the power of collapse that rose from under Reiji’s feet created waves that collapsed space itself.
Crackle! Crackle!
The moment the power of the previous and current Demon Kings clashed head-on, the white magic beads that had been gathered together shattered.
Kuwaaaaaah!
The two Demon Kings’ decisive battle and the Magic Orb exploded simultaneously, causing a huge light that seemed to cover the entire world.
The power that could erase even the soul spread out in all directions, erasing the pure white snowfields, and uprooting the frozen world tree that symbolized Ras’ soul.
However, Lars and Raige, who were at the center of the explosion, did not move an inch in the black smoke. It was as if they were both dead.
Phew, phew.
The world tree was uprooted and fell to the ground, and the wind that blew pushed away the smoke, revealing the battlefield of the demon lords.
Lars was on one knee, his hands on the cracked ground, while Rage was reaching over Lars’ head, his eerie black eyes gleaming.
“I thought you would always remember the moment when you killed your subordinates with your own hands and broke my neck… .”
Lazy took a quick sip as he looked at the fallen World Tree.
“You’ve changed so much, I can’t believe you forgot all those moments.”
He let out a thin smile as if he found it strange.
“I haven’t forgotten. I’ve just accepted what cannot be undone.”
Lars shook his head, saying he could never forget it.
“That’s what’s amazing. That guy who used to spew anger even when he breathed has changed like this.”
Lazy waved his finger over Ras’ head.
“It seems like a lot of time has passed since I died.”
He smacked his lips, saying that if he had retained the anger he had at that time, the outcome of this fight would have been different.
“It is not a question of time.”
Lars frowned, wiping the blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.
“What matters is what you experience during a given period of time, whether long or short.”
Although his time as king in the Demon World was important, he spent time with Raon and the children of Gwangpungjeon, and accepted his uncontrollable anger and past in his heart.
Although he certainly became weaker, he also became stronger.
“You said you entrusted your power to the future, but it looks like you’ve met someone you like.”
Lazy let out a short sigh and raised his head. His body began to shake as if hit by a strong wind.
“Do you like it?”
Lars laughed in disbelief.
“On the contrary. He’s a really dirty guy that I don’t like. Every time I see that weasel’s face, I want to throw a punch at him.”
I slowly got up, putting strength into my hands that were holding the ground, thinking of Raon’s mean face threatening me with Nadine bread.
Kuung!
In contrast to Lars, Rage seemed to lose his strength in his legs and leaned forward, kneeling on the black, cracked ground.
“But thanks to that damned bastard, I learned what the source of the original king is. The original king’s power has weakened, but the original king has not weakened.”
It is true that he lost a lot of his power to Raon and to save the children of the Gwangpungjeon.
However, he was able to obtain answers about existence itself, beyond the boundaries between humans and demons. The time he spent with them was the most important time in his life.
“What a pity… .”
Lazy hunched over and vomited black, dead blood.
“I was wondering who that damn thing you were talking about was. I wish I could see it.”
“Arthur.”
Lars shook his head firmly.
“If I ever met you, you’d be a crazy bastard who would eat my underwear, let alone my strength.”
He shook his head as he thought of Raon, the true monster of greed who had sucked up even the power of Grid, who could be called his arch-rival.
“It seems you are no ordinary demon. Are you born with the destiny of becoming a king?”
Lazy narrowed his eyes as he asked if he was the successor.
“He is not a demon, he is human. And… .”
Lars looked down at Rage, his back straight.
“He is a monster that wouldn’t be strange if he became a demon god, not a demon lord.”
“Oh, you’re saying that…?”
Lazy’s eyes widened in disbelief.
“You know what that means….”
“That is why I am saying this. He is a vessel of the Demon God who has surpassed the Demon King.”
Lars shook his head blandly, saying he knew better than you.
“Ha, now that you mention it, I really want to see it.”
Lazy squinted his eyes, saying it was a shame to see him disappear from here.
“Shut up and go away. That’s not even real.”
Lass snorted as he watched Rage shaking all over his body.
“No, I’m real. I’m just a Lazy created from your memories.”
Lazy slowly raised his hand, saying that he couldn’t be fake.
“Take it now. It’s your victory.”
A round sphere of gray energy rose above his palm.

Taaak!
Lass looked into Rage’s eyes and then slapped his hand away, which was floating a gray orb.
“Even if you are a being created from the memories of the King, I do not wish to receive power from someone like you.”
He shook his head, saying that his strength would recover on its own.
“Kuuuuuuu… .”
Lazy lowered his head slightly and let out a toothy laugh.
“You pass.”
“pass?”
Lass frowned as he looked down at Rage.
“Is that what you mean?”
“It is nonsense for a wrathful monarch to receive strength from his enemies and suppress his anger. It is right to vent his anger until the end.”
Lazy nodded, saying he had made a very good choice.
“Take it. No, you have no choice.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a gray aura rose from the split ground and enveloped Ras.
Hwaaaaaaaah!
As soon as the gray aura touched Ras’s body, it turned into a deep blue cold air and permeated his body and soul.
“hmm….”
Lars narrowed his eyes as he examined her entire body, which was shining white as if it had just been hit by snow.
‘The level of the soul has risen.’
The soul level, which had been reduced due to the use of force while ignoring the law of causality, rose rapidly. Although it was not back to its original level, it would not be an exaggeration to say that it gained several decades.
‘No, that’s not all.’
Raon’s abilities and characteristics were created, and the power of rage that was consumed was also strengthened.
It seemed like the power that Lazy had been holding had been absorbed and became his own authority. It was a harvest beyond his expectations, but he wasn’t entirely happy about it.
“Lazy.”
Lars stood in front of Lazy with heavy steps.
“The king will never forgive you.”
He gritted his teeth and looked down at Lazy at his feet.
“If you hadn’t been so wicked, no one would have died. The king will curse you whether he lives or dies.”
He clenched his fists, vowing that he would never forget that incident.
“That sounds good.”
Lazy chuckled and nodded his trembling head.
“Because even after I die, I will remain in your deepest memory.”
“That son of a bitch….”
Las frowned at the smiling Lazy.
“Kuuuuuu.”
Lazy let out a twisted laugh and buried his back in the cold floor. He seemed to have lost all his strength.
Wooooow!
As he fell, a circular dimensional gate opened in the air, burning with blue flames.
“Kill me and go inside. The pain is severe, so I want it to end quickly.”
Lazy closed his eyes as he told them to kill him. His body began to crumble and disintegrate very slowly, like a fallen leaf drying up and falling apart.
“I won’t kill you as easily as before. Let you feel enough pain and then disappear.”
Lars narrowed his eyes as he looked at Lazy’s legs, which were fluttering like sand.
‘I still have some energy left, but I’ll be okay.’
He is like a stranger in the room of his own ego.
Because I didn’t know when this space would disappear, I didn’t absorb all the power spread out there, even in the black sea or the cave that reflected the past, but quickly took only the most important parts and left the place.
Since I had gotten everything I could from Lazy, I thought it would be best to just let the remnants disperse on their own and let them feel the pain.
“How cruel. You are the wrath of the Lord.”
“At least to you.”
After kicking Lazy’s chin, who was laughing even in pain, he turned his head away.
“Die and die again.”
After giving his last words to the disappearing Rage, Lass entered a dimensional portal made of blue flames.
Hwaaaaaaaah!
Gravity disappeared and my legs felt like they were floating in the air. I didn’t feel like I was being forced to pull myself along, so I just let the flow take over.
I felt like I was lying on a warm and soft blanket. I closed my eyes, feeling a deep sense of comfort for the first time in a long while.
How long had it been? I opened my eyes, feeling refreshed as if I had just woken up from a deep sleep, and saw a huge moon right in front of my nose. The moon was flickering with a mysterious silver color, as if it had been frozen in frost.
“under….”
Lass chuckled as he looked at the silver moon, which held a chillingly large coldness.
‘What is this…?’
Just looking at the silver moon made my soul freeze. A great coldness that even astonished me flowed through that lofty moonlight.
“Does this mean I can gain the power of the moon?”
If I could absorb all the cold air that was in that moon, it seemed like I could not only use up all the strength I had expended so far, but I could also go further up.
‘Finally, a chance has come to the King!’
Lass clenched his fists as he looked into the moonlight that was as cold as a blade.
‘You weasel! Chance is not yours alone!’
I used to envy Raon who could eat up his luck like it was three meals a day, and now the opportunity has finally come to him.
If I could just gain the power of that moon, I could repay all the humiliation I’ve suffered.
“Phew… .”
Lass let out a tense breath and closed his eyes. He slowly used Glacia to absorb the cold of the moonlight, and felt a pain as if a knife was cutting through his insides.
‘This isn’t an ordinary cold.’
If it were a normal cold, it would have turned into Glacia the moment it touched his breath, but it seemed like that cold would have to go through a rather long process of purification. And it would be excruciatingly painful.
‘You’re not just going to give it to me? Yeah. That would be more fun. But… .’
Lass curled his lips thinly.
‘The king has already suffered greatly… .’
Lass gritted his teeth until they made a cracking sound as he thought of Raon chewing on Nadine bread with a bright smile. He raised Glacia with all his might, ignoring the pain caused by the cold air.
‘This kind of suffering is nothing compared to Nadine Bread!’
* * *
“hmm….”
Raon opened his eyes, feeling the cool air rising from under his feet.
‘Where is this?’
The blue sky was covered in gray, and the snow-covered ground was completely destroyed, leaving countless craters.
When I felt the energy spreading around me, it felt like a fight between transcendent beings, and monsters standing at the top of the world.
‘I see the frozen world tree has collapsed. Did it hit Lars?’
Seeing that even the frozen world tree that popped up every time Ras descended was uprooted, it seemed like he had fought a formidable opponent.
‘I don’t feel any sign of Lars?’
Raon crossed the collapsed ground like a stepping stone and entered the cracked snowfield.
‘Where should I go… .’
As I was wondering where to go to meet Las, I saw a corpse lying on the ground. It was a black-haired man, and his body was slowly disintegrating.
‘Are you alive?’
The lower half of the corpse had already disappeared, and only the head and right arm remained from the upper half, but strangely enough, a small amount of life was felt from him.
‘Did this guy fight with Las? He looks strong though… .’
When Raon tilted his head, the black-haired man he thought was a corpse slowly opened his eyes. His eyes were a pitch-black color that seemed to reflect the darkness.
“Human…? Why is a human here?”
The black-haired, black-eyed man tilted his head as if he couldn’t understand.
“On the contrary, I would like to ask. Who are you?”
Raon frowned as he looked down at the black-haired, black-eyed man.
“aha….”
The man with black hair and black eyes smiled faintly as if he understood.
“Are you the human that Lars spoke of?”
He nodded as if he knew himself.
“It looks like you were Las’ test.”
Raon licked his lips briefly as he looked at the black-haired, black-eyed man. Seeing that he recognized himself by saying Ras’ name, it seemed that this man was a test for Ras created by the Room of Ego.
“Your power is fine, but you’re different from the humans I’ve seen.”
The black-haired, black-eyed man twisted his lips as he said it was funny.
“Stop talking nonsense. Who are you?”
Raon stood in front of the black-haired, black-eyed man and nodded.
“He is the monarch of the previous generation. He is a poor king who was betrayed by Ras and died.”
The black-haired, black-eyed man bit his lip as he said that he had been stabbed in the back by Ras and died.
“It must have been the will of the god that you came before I disappeared. If you give me the power to take revenge… .”
“This is f*cking crazy and I’m falling over.”
Raon lifted his foot and stomped on the head of the black-haired, black-eyed man.
“Ras is never the type of person to backstab someone.”
I can be sure of this because I’ve been with Las for a long time. If he had to be betrayed, he would have been betrayed. He’s not the kind of guy to betray.
“Kuuuuuuu… .”
The black-haired, black-eyed man let out a twisted laugh as if he realized that he could not be fooled.
“I see why Lars said you were different.”
He shook his head, saying that there was nothing he could do.
“But I will remain in that bastard’s memory for the rest of my life and will always be in deep pain… What, what are you doing!”
Lazy let out a mocking laugh towards Lars, then suddenly opened his eyes as his vision went dark.
“Shut your mouth.”
Raon didn’t even pay attention to the screaming Lazy and rolled his head over with his foot like a ball.
“What are you doing! I am the Demon King!”
Lazy looked at Raon’s face again and ground his teeth.
“You still have some energy left. Since you seem to be an enemy of Las, can I swallow you?”
“How can a human devour me? Stop talking nonsense!”
“You will feel it.”
Raon let out a faint smile and placed his hand on the head of the black-haired, black-eyed man.
“Hey, wait a minute! I’m Ray, the former Demon King… .”
“Okay, I’ll take it.”
Feeling uneasy, Reiji tried to reveal his name, but Raon did not listen and immediately activated the Ring of Fire and Glacia.
“Kwaaaaaah! Hey, wait a minute!”
The black-haired, black-eyed man waved his hands while screaming in pain as if his life was being sucked out of him.
“I still have something to say to Lars! Just wait a moment! When he comes out, he must never forget me….”
“Tell me your name and I’ll tell you.”
“I, I… .”
Raon told her to say his name and used Glacia to her extreme power, sucking out all the energy from the black-haired, black-eyed man’s body in one breath.
“Ugh… .”
Lazy’s body disappeared in an instant, and even his mouth, where he had to speak, turned to dust.
‘Tell me your name, you crazy bastard!’
It was the first time I’d ever met a crazy guy who told me to speak, but then didn’t give me a chance to. My mouth was gone, so now I can’t even speak.
‘Is this what it means to be human?’
He’s worse than a demon!
The moment the thought of being worse than the demons crossed my mind, I remembered what Ras had said.
[Arthur. If I met you, you would be a crazy guy who would take off your underwear and eat it, not to mention your strength.]
‘crazy….’
Rage melted into a gray hue after realizing why Ras had harbored such resentment towards humans at the moment his head turned to dust.
“Hmm… .”
Raon licked his lips briefly as he felt the power of Layge entering his palm.
“Are all demons donating angels?”
