Novel Will Be Taken Down on 17 May or Earlier Chapter 226 - You don't deserve it

Crystal Hall.

 

A panoramic view of the Demon King’s Castle was floating in the air.

 

The players felt a sense of déjà vu from Hoyeol’s magic.

 

“…Doesn’t it feel like a movie theater?”

 

“It’s similar, but you can see it straight from any angle.”

 

“To put it simply, it’s streaming through magic…?”

 

But that wasn’t the case for the Arcanains.

 

It was the emergence of a demon king, the enemy of the Holy War.

 

It wasn’t a situation where they could laugh.

 

“Haha…”

 

However, a burst of laughter was heard.

 

It couldn’t be helped.

 

The true value of this seemingly simple magic.

 

It was clearly visible to Marcelo’s eyes.

 

It was an interference process so complex that it felt pedantic.

 

Just maintaining the magic manifestation from a distance would consume a significant amount of mana. Not only that, the vision was changing by the minute.

 

It meant that the process of exploration, interference, and manifestation was repeated every time the field of view changed.

 

‘I’m embarrassed to be called a fellow chief.’

 

Even Marcelo was speechless.

 

The reactions of the senior and skilled mages didn’t need to be described.

 

But that was just the beginning.

 

The purpose of Hoyeol’s tower exit, the outdoor demonstration to help them understand reversal magic had just begun.

 

Bensch whispered carefully.

 

“That building seems to be in danger don’t you think, Senior Banglet?”

 

“Yes, definitely.”

 

“Any of the twenty magics, as well as the fire magic…”

 

It wouldn’t be able to fully protect a collapsing building.

 

Even if they made concessions and prevented the building from collapsing.

 

There was no delicate magic in the Mage Tower that could protect people.

 

But what if it was a new magic, not an existing magic?

 

Soon, the vision reflected the image of Hoyeol.

 

As soon as the jacket on his shoulder fluttered, mana radiated to the surroundings.

 

Then everything turned around.

 

Of course, the building that was collapsing was now standing upright.

 

“W-What is that magic?”

 

“That’s the reversal magic he mentioned…”

 

“Wait a minute, it doesn’t just stay upright. Broken windows and collapsed exterior walls are being restored to their original state. It’s really like nothing happened…!”

 

“The lights that were turned off are coming back in!”

 

For the people who were watching.

 

A gentle shock flowed through the Crystal Hall.

 

They had no more concern.

 

As if the Holy War Allied Force was not enough, Hoyeol even joined them.

 

Only one demon king wouldn’t be able to stand against them.

 

“It’s beyond outrageous.”

 

“How many interference processes took place in a split second?”

 

“I won’t be able to copy him, but…”

 

“But I could understand the concept to some extent.”

 

Yeah.

 

The flowing shock was solely due to the demonstration of the reversal magic.

 

Chief, senior, skilled, and apprentice mages.

 

The moment when all the mages of the Mage Tower were immersed in the afterglow of the conference.

 

Only one cat.

 

Only the Tower Master had different feelings.

 

His tail bristled as if he was nervous.

 

‘…Claudie.’

 

There were endless question marks in the Tower Master’s mind.

 

During the time he was trapped in the pointed hat.

 

What was going on in the Arcana Continent?

 

How dare that name come from the mouth of the demon?

 

Toward the past that no one should ever find out about, how could something such as a demon…?

 

The Tower Master shuddered.

 

‘Anyway. You are pitifully foolish, demon.’

 

*

 

The main gate opened.

 

Large armies poured out of the Demon King’s Castle.

 

The building was restored by the reversal magic.

 

The last survivors were safely evacuated.

 

Yeah, this was the beginning of the full-fledged Holy War.

 

Harkon said grimly.

 

“Commander, please give me an order.”

 

…You certainly separate public and separate life, Harcon!

 

Anyway, I was the Commander-in-Chief of the Holy War Allied Force.

 

In public, he couldn’t call me Sir Hoyeol without formality. Of course, listening to it was so overwhelming I felt like I was going to die!

 

Tap tap–

 

But, even if that hospitality was beyond generous.

 

Grandfel shamelessly enjoyed all sorts of rhetoric.

 

Naturally, I went to the front line without hesitation.

 

I calmly declared.

 

“I’ll take charge of the demon king.”

 

To be honest.

 

I just wanted to pour magic and blow the demon king and the Demon King’s Castle all at once.

 

Now that my combat power had increased several times due to the effect of the Natural Enemy Relationshop], I was confident that I could even use the ultra-high level magic Meteor Strike.

 

However.

 

“I will leave the rest to you except for the demon king.”

 

Like I said, I was aware.

 

Of my position as the commander-in-chief of the Holy War Allied Force.

 

Understanding and trusting the capabilities of allies and helping them gain experience in actual combat were also duties of a commander.

 

‘…How is it that my works are endless wherever I go?’

 

I almost sighed for a moment, but I held back.

 

Besides, there was a more important reason than that.

 

No matter what, I couldn’t just blow them all away.

 

‘Claudie.’

 

My name…

 

No, that name.

 

Where and how did they learn of it?

 

I had to persistently interrogate them!

 

Although I was careful not to exchange words with demons.

 

This time was an exception.

 

My life and humiliation were at stake.

 

“I will obey your orders.”

 

Sneak–

 

“Everyone, get ready to charge!”

 

When Harkon raised his sword and shouted, the Allied Force soared to its fullest.

 

Watching that scene.

 

I felt like my efforts were not in vain.

 

‘Compared to the old days.’

 

The biggest reason players were helpless against demons was because of the status abnormalities.

 

[Fear] had the most malicious effect of all the abnormalities.

 

However, even in front of the demon king, the players showed no sign of fear.

 

Yeah.

 

The feeling that overshadowed fear.

 

It existed in their hearts.

 

[Small changes occur due to the effect of Noble.]

 

“This is the moment to finally prove our pride!”

 

Yes, it was pride.

 

I felt it once again.

 

You’ve corrupted everything, Grandfel.

 

‘In that regard, I’ll have to take a heavy responsibility.’

 

Without delay, I manifested the portal.

 

The coordinates are right in front of the Demon King Andras, the owner of the Demon King’s Castle.

 

If you ask me how I can get the specific coordinates.

 

I’ll give you my class.

 

[Demon hunter].

 

It was not because I knew the coordinates.

 

I was just chasing the smell.

 

The smell of a prey that was fearless of my dark history.

 

I made my way through the manifested portal.

 

It’s time to take responsibility for your big mouth, Andras.

 

.

 

.

 

.

 

Demon king, Andras.

 

Andras looked at the unfamiliar landscape.

 

The owl’s beak moved.

 

“This is unbelievable, great evil.”

 

This was not the Arcana Continent or the Demon World.

 

A completely different world that they didn’t know about.

 

He could guess.

 

“Are you saying that I’ve got caught in a rupture?”

 

Just like how Zero Mountain disappeared from the Arcana Continent overnight, it seemed that his Demon King’s Castle was also caught up in a rupture.

 

He hadn’t realized that there was no such thing as absolute in Akshan’s resurrection.

 

If it was just a coincidence, he could understand it.

 

Unexpected things could always happen.

 

But this was no coincidence.

 

“Claudie…”

 

The name that the great evil, Gluttony, told him.

 

The moment he said that name out loud.

 

The moment when the past was revealed to him.

 

His vision changed.

 

Andras felt it.

 

What was the past behind that name?

 

Just by mentioning it caused such a stir.

 

“It seems like there is something involved that cannot be described in words.”

 

The owl’s head twisted at a right angle.

 

“So it must be true.”

 

If he could survive Claudie’s truth.

 

He would be able to gain power equivalent to that of the high-ranking demon king.

 

Andras rose from his throne.

 

“I am confident in myself.”

 

The 63rd king of the demon king.

 

But the rank was just a number.

 

As he had told Gluttony, Andras had reached his limit.

 

In other words, it also meant that he had strengthened to his limit.

 

The reason why he was able to be so strong was simple.

 

As he had said.

 

He built mountains out of corpses and made rivers flow with blood.

 

The proof of that was his confrontation with Gluttony.

 

If it were him in the past, he wouldn’t have been able to say anything in front of a great evil. However, now he could even make a deal with Gluttony. He was on the same level as a great evil.

 

‘And if I survive.’

 

Andras’ pupils flashed.

 

Gluttony.

 

He would be able to gain the power to slay that arrogant guy.

 

Andras smiled insidiously.

 

“Run. Shout out. Reveal the past.”

 

Claudie.

 

Flame up the desire toward that name.

 

Soldiers.

 

“I will lead you.”

 

The moment Andras was about to take a step with his mace.

 

Goo–

 

A stampede of lights flickered in the air.

 

It must be mana.

 

Andras’s owl head was bent at right angles again.

 

“It’s an eerie thing.”

 

Was this world also a world of magic?

 

If not, were they from the Arcana Continent just like him? Well, it didn’t matter. If that person appeared in front of him, that meant he had business with him.

 

Andras opened his beak.

 

“What’s your name?”

 

There was no answer.

 

“!”

 

But he could sense it.

 

Goo–

 

Instinctively, the feathers on his owl’s head stood up.

 

‘…What kind of man is he?’

 

It was a sensation he’d never felt before in the Demon World or the Arcana Continent.

 

Andras felt uneasy.

 

As an owl that symbolized wisdom, he recognized it.

 

The unfamiliar sense he felt was ‘fear’.

 

‘I maintained my composure even in the face of a great evil.’

 

But now he was shaking in fear…?

 

Andras realized.

 

There was only one being that could make him feel fear.

 

“…Demon hunter.”

 

This man was clearly the last survivor of Akshan.

 

Andras immediately raised his mace.

 

And he reflected on his desire again.

 

‘My purpose is Claudie.’

 

To reach his purpose, he’d do everything regardless of means and methods.

 

Andras was the Demon King of Conflict.

 

When it came to disruption and agitation, he was second to none.

 

Andras shouted.

 

“That’s foolish. Akshan’s last survivor. You’re going out of your way to hunt me down. Even if you hunt me, this fight is my victory.”

 

The main gate of the Demon King’s Castle had been opened.

 

He had long since ordered the commanders of the demon army to advance.

 

By now, they must have started slaughtering the neighborhood.

 

Not only that.

 

Every demon, including the commanders of the demon army, would be shouting out for Claudie.

 

“Can’t you hear it too?”

 

Claudie–

 

At that moment, he heard he loud noise.

 

Andras was determined to hold out until the end.

 

Claudie, just by saying that name took him to another world.

 

It was only a matter of time before another turbulence came.

 

‘Why?’

 

But it was strange.

 

Akshan’s last survivor, who was supposed to react in some way, didn’t open his mouth. Soon after, only unusual silence flowed in the Demon King’s Castle.

 

‘…Silence?’

 

No, this couldn’t be.

 

Hadn’t he said it just a moment ago?

 

He wanted his soldiers to call out Claudie’s name.

 

To reveal the past.

 

But for some reason.

 

It was quiet.

 

No voice was heard.

 

‘There are approximately 70 thousand of them.’

 

All of those 70,000 soldiers were elite soldiers who had survived countless battles.

 

Did they face a powerful enemy that they couldn’t defeat? No, even so, it didn’t make sense.

 

He didn’t even hear a scream.

 

Indeed.

 

It was as if everyone’s mouth was closed.

 

Gulp–

 

The moment Andras unconsciously swallowed.

 

Akshan’s last survivor opened his mouth.

 

He heard a cold voice.

 

“I have no intention of speaking formally to an inferior race.”

 

“…?”

 

“You are not even qualified to learn.”

 

…What was he saying all of a sudden?

 

Andras turned his eyes and pondered.

 

And he realized.

 

‘Is that so? Are you saying I am a hindrance?”

 

There was no way to know what he was a hindrance of.

 

But this was clearly an opportunity.

 

Because there must be room for a conversation.

 

The moment Andras tried to open his beak.

 

“But that doesn’t mean I will condone it.”

 

“…!”

 

Andras’ beak stopped in place.

 

It wasn’t because he was surprised by the man’s words.

 

Andras grabbed his neck.

 

No voice could come out.

 

Only then did he realize.

 

The reason why the demon army was suddenly engulfed in silence.

 

‘He took away seventy thousand voices in an instant…?’

 

It was the man’s doing.

 

The moment he realized that, he witnessed it.

 

Akshan’s last survivor.

 

A strange energy was flowing out of him.

 

And Andras was shocked.

 

“!”

 

What was that?

 

That energy seemed to suffocate even a demon king…?

 

Darkness that seemed like it could engulf you just by looking at it.

 

Even all the negative energy he had accumulated as a demon lord.

 

In the face of that infinitely deep darkness, he felt like it wasn’t even amount to a grain of sand in the desert

 

But it was too early to be surprised.

 

Akshan’s last survivor.

 

Andras realized it after what Hoyeol said next.

 

“I didn’t give you permission.”

 

“……?”

 

“Don’t you dare say that name.”

 

“…!”

 

“Bastard.”

 

That man didn’t allow it?

 

‘D-D-Don’t tell me…!!!’

 

As expected, being a wise owl, he realized it.

 

Akshan’s last survivor.

 

He was Claudie….!

 

.

 

.

 

.

 

Judging from the look on your face, it seems you’ve noticed it.

 

It’s unfortunate then.

 

I don’t know about anything else, but I don’t plan on letting anyone know the truth!

 

Therefore.

 

“I will begin your disposal from this point on.”

 

Don’t even think about returning alive, demon king.
