Episode 438 A world in turmoil (1)
[44th floor of the Tower of Trials.]
Guntafer’s territory… No, the place that was the territory was completely ruined.
Crack… Crack… .
A fire that has not yet been extinguished.
Like a place hit by a nuclear shower. Huge craters were visible everywhere.
And in the middle of it all, there was a half-ruined building.
That is, Guntafer’s personal palace.
“What is the damage?”
Guntafer opened his mouth with an indifferent expression.
Then the demons standing on the left and right trembled in shock.
The blow was bigger than I imagined, and I didn’t know that if I told the truth, I might face the same anger.
However, that doesn’t mean I can’t just say nothing.
One demon showed courage.
“The 15th and 22nd divisions that first fought the Kraken were destroyed, and in the process, three high-ranking earl-level demons died. And the Lich Magic Corps came later….”
“I already know roughly the damage to the troops. I want you to report if there is any damage that could disrupt my plan.”
“Yes… yes! Well… the Hellyer Crypt has evaporated.”
“……If it’s a crypt, does that mean even the queen was attacked?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
Puff!
The head of the demon who was reporting disappeared.
The body, which had lost its head, stumbled and fell down on its side.
“Damn….”
Guntafer’s face was distorted hideously.
Stop mass producing troops again.
However, Hellaire is a high-ranking species that is on a different level from common magical beasts.
Despite its size of up to 5m, it possesses incredible mobility and speed, and is even excellent at group combat… .
… It was truly a secret weapon that Guntafer cultivated with great care.
‘They were the ones I absolutely needed to become a demon one day… .’
When the queen, who laid one egg a month, died, everything went to waste.
Because of that one person, Kang Jin-hyuk, and no one else.
“Hmm. I guess our timing wasn’t very good.”
It was then that a new voice intervened.
The godhead across from Gunthafer shrugged his shoulders.
A slender woman with a golden shield and spear.
It was Athena, the goddess of victory who came to the demon world representing Olympus.
Next to her was ‘Ares’, the god of war, also armed with similar types of weapons.
“Because of family issues, I showed the guests who came from afar something they couldn’t see.”
Guntafer bowed his head slightly.
“No. We thought you might be disturbed after seeing the situation here ourselves.”
“Yes, that was a really bad rampage. I think that one person caused more damage than the entire Ragnarok.”
The two gods looked around as if they understood.
The word that it is miserable comes out naturally.
So much so that I felt with my whole body that it was the worst disaster that existed in the tower.
Right then.
Ugh!
The last member of this meeting appeared.
Jerk.
Somewhat heavy steps.
It was a senior manager, ‘Hasting’.
“…Everyone came first.”
however.
Hasting’s appearance was somehow different from usual.
“Hasting, how did you lose your left arm? The scar on your face looks pretty big…”
Guntafer’s eyebrows were bent into an inverted shape.
I can’t believe a senior manager suffered such serious injuries.
Does that make any sense?
No matter how crazy he was, he never attacked a senior manager. There were only a very small number of forces that had the ability to do so.
“It’s not important what I look like, so everyone, please stop paying attention.”
Hasting shot back coldly.
A sharp reaction was inevitable.
… … Because this was the result of being so loyal.
Left arm and right eye.
These are things that the ancient beings took away due to continued failure.
At least it didn’t take my life, but the loss was too painful to take comfort in that.
‘If I fail one more time, I might really die.’
The memory of Nyarlathotep cutting off my arm alive still hasn’t left my mind.
Hasting swallowed dry saliva and opened his mouth.

“According to information I have independently obtained, the remnants of Ragnarok have been in contact with Egyptian deities.”
“What…?”
“Is that true?”
Ares and Athena shouted in surprise.
For Olympus, which was tracking the remnants of Ragnarok, their whereabouts were the top concern.
“It is undoubtedly true.”
“The fact that they went that way….”
“Yes. It’s to join forces.”
“However, the two forces must not have had any contact with each other until now, right? There is no reason for Egypt to accept Ragnarok, which has lost its foundation, if it comes to visit right away.”
There is nothing to gain, but it is a situation that can only stimulate the rest of the forces.
Egypt will never accept an alliance.
but.
Unlike the two gods of Olympus, Guntafer’s thinking went one step further.
“……If a third party had not intervened in the meeting between the two, then that would have been the case. Don’t you all know that that guy has always been involved in the movements of the powers that be?”
Provides a reason to form an alliance. We must assume that we have found something that maximizes each other’s strengths.
For example, they found a way to hatch the eggs of ancient species held by Egypt.
furthermore. Now that the demon world is in chaos, it would be the best time for him to make his move.
“Didn’t Hasting foresee that and called us together?”
“That’s right. I also assume that Kang Jin-hyuk is behind everything.”
“Then, we must step on the buds of that alliance before they fully bloom.”
Guntafer waved his hand lightly.
Grumble!
With a flash of fire, a succubus with bound hands and feet appeared.
“haha….”
Remia took a deep breath.
The unfocused pupil contracted and dilated repeatedly.
“Just in time, it’s the humans’ turn to go to the 30th floor.”
The 30th floor has the most unique characteristics among all the stairs in the Tower of Trials.
“We can use the unique properties of this filthy traitor and the stairs to outsmart him.”
If the opponent wants to move one step first, you just need to move two steps first.
I was confident in any number of fights.
From a low-level demon to becoming a demon king with the title of corps commander. Because we have experienced countless wars and plots.

“Tip! Tweet! Tweet!”
I could hear birds chirping under the warm sunlight.
“It’s peaceful.”
Jinhyuk looked at the street filled with autumn leaves.
After spending some time outside the tower, everything felt relaxed and relaxed.
Especially if it comes with warm Americano and tiramisu cake.
“Oooh! What is this? It melts in your mouth.”
Ellis’ eyes sparkled.
Croffle covered in Nutella, the devil’s food.
With vanilla ice cream on top, it couldn’t be more delicious.
Ellis, who had already finished her 7th plate, this time set her sights on the bread filled with cream puffs and red beans. Adding a handful of macarons is a bonus.
“It’s all good, but if you eat like that, you’re going to end up rolling around, right?”
“Did you say that to Jim?”
“Yeah. Isn’t it a little sad that a vampire can’t fly?”
“Heh! What do you think of Jim? No matter how much he eats, he can maintain a slim body.”
Ellis squared her shoulders proudly.
hmm… .
Well, that’s fine.
“Besides, I think Fat is saying hello here?”
Jinhyuk poked Ellis in the stomach with a spoon.
The white flesh moved softly.
“Oh, how dare you…! Huh? It’s true. No, when did Jim have belly fat…”
Ellis hurriedly ran to the mirror.
Then he staggered back with a shocked expression on his face.
“Would you like some more chocolate? I heard the boss recommends eating it sprinkled with candy powder?”
“Gye, contractor… Jim asks for chicken breast salad and cherry tomatoes.”
“What about the dressing?”
“Blood… there’s no need for it. It’s a luxury.”
Ellis lowered her head with a face that lost everything in the world.
Looking at it like this, it feels a bit pitiful.
I’m not sure if he gained 1kg or not, but he seemed genuinely shocked by what he said as a joke.
Right then.
“Hoo. Unlike you, I know a pretty cool cafe.”
“I was late coming because the road was so congested. I’m sorry.”
Cheon Yu-seong and Teresa entered the cafe.
Black and beige.
The two people wearing stunning long coats looked like they could have been movie stars.
“Wow….”
“Look at that. It’s Cheon Yu-seong. That sword star.”
“You’re so handsome, my god….”
“The real thing was real. The real thing.”
“There is also Teresa. She is a popular person who is difficult to meet except through ViewTube.”
“Now that I think about it, they’re all members of the Stagnant Corporation, right?”
There was a commotion inside the cafe.
Since there are so many popular people attracting attention, it is natural that words will come out.
“It’s going to be hard to hold a meeting comfortably like this.”
“Or should we move somewhere? There should be a quieter place….”
“No, this place is perfect. Wait a minute, hey. I told you to wait a minute?”
Jinhyuk hurriedly stopped the two people who were trying to get up.
If you leave here, everything will be in vain.
“It’s very suspicious… What kind of trick are you pulling?”
“It’s a trick. I’m just pure….”
As Jinhyuk spoke, he checked his watch.
The time has come… .
That moment.
Weeeeeee!
White sports cars approached in front of the cafe with a sound like a spaceship taking off, and began to park one after another.
These are Porsche Taycan Turbo S models.
Sreung!
Cheon Yu-seong half-drawn his sword.
“You better choose what you say carefully from now on. What are all those cars?”
If you say one word wrong, you’ll end up getting stabbed in a cafe.
“Haha… well, we got some sponsorship from that company. They said they would give us a free car if we showed our members in the car.”
“So… the reason we came this far away was simply to promote the car?”
“That’s not necessarily the case. Yoosung? Ouch! I got stabbed. Are you escaping?”
Jinhyuk took a step back.
“This is something that the president of the association also requested. Plus, we decided to provide you with the items needed to conquer the 30th floor?”
“President Han Sang-jin?”
The blade slightly fell from his neck.
Thanks to the medical student who was well-read, it seemed like there was some room for conversation.
“Yes. I was already planning to come back later. Anyway, do you think I accepted that offer out of self-interest?”
“So, you’re saying all I have to do is take a picture?”
“Well, that… Actually, there’s something more I need to do.”
Jinhyuk took out the costume he received from the other party.
Racing cars require matching clothes.
The other side’s condition was that among the remaining members of the Corporation, Cheon Yoo-seong, Teresa, and Ellis must wear these clothes.
“Just die.”
“I will cut you down, Mr. Jinhyuk.”
“Well, wearing such a shameful thing. It’s a disgrace to the Ataraxia family!”
This time, the anger of the three was directly directed at Jinhyuk.
but,
Shake!
New characters intervened at unexpected times.
These are not customers visiting the store or reporters trying to cover Stagnant Corporation.
It wasn’t even Han Sang-jin who was supposed to come.
Black suit and sunglasses.
In contrast, the white gloves had a black cross engraved on them.
