Chapter 99: The King of Demons
The Seven Deadly Sins have never appeared in the game ‘Etius’.
Frontier got a glimpse of that possibility when he began to be called by the strange nickname ‘Sloth’.
The Seven Sins exist in knowledge, but have never appeared in reality.
However, Frondier has already encountered two of the Seven Sins and even defeated one of them.
Therefore, the knowledge Frontier has now is knowledge from the previous world, rather than knowledge of the game.
Since the game Etius shares a lot of information with the previous world, I believe that knowledge about Bael will also continue.
Marcosias, who is a subordinate of Satan, one of the seven sins, and also belongs to the 72 devils.
When Frontier saw Marcosias with his feet on both sides, the first thing he thought of was Bael. Because Bael is a name that belongs to both sides.
A demon whose name Marco deliberately refuses to call. I believed that there was a high probability that it was Bael.
However, Marco, who heard Frondier’s words,
“… … .”
He simply remained silent and did not respond to Frondier’s words.
Marco doesn’t lie. The silence also meant that Frontier’s guess was the ‘correct answer’.
Above all, there was deep anger on his face.
Looking at that, Frontier realized.
‘I’m getting angry. That the two are different beings. I don’t know why, but Marco is also dissatisfied with that.’
Wow!
Frondier swatted away Marco’s hands and stepped back. To some extent, this was a planned action. If you keep bumping into each other, Bael will notice that you two are whispering.
‘Bael and Beelzebub exist separately. ‘What does this mean?’
Originally, Bael and Beelzebub are just two different names, but they specify the same being.
But here, it is a completely different entity and its location is also different. So where does the difference between the two come from?
And what is Marco’s relationship with these two?
‘… … Let’s think about it later. There’s something more urgent right now.’
Frondier glanced at Bael. In any case, we can’t let Bael leave here.
It doesn’t matter if you go alone, but I will drag away all the tens of thousands of demons that are here right now. That’s not what Frontier wants.
Meanwhile, Bael spoke to Marco.
“Marcosias, what do you plan to do with that man? “They said they were going to use it, so I left it alone, but if they want to kill it, I can finish it right away.”
Marco’s attack just now. Frondier blocked it, but Bael thought it was a sloppy response.
Of course, Frontier and Marco approached each other to talk briefly, but from a third party’s perspective, it certainly wasn’t a proper response.
Mimics such as clashing swords rarely occur in actual combat. In Bael’s eyes, this was seen as ‘sloppy’.
Frondier said that he thought it was a good idea.
“Okay, Bael. “Try to finish it quickly.”
Bael twitched his eyes at that. I see Marco.
“… … “Did you tell me your name?”
“no.”
Marco’s immediate answer. It wasn’t a lie because Frontier actually found it out on his own. And since he does not lie, Bael nodded.
“OK. “Some kid who doesn’t even know the subject is installing it.”
Bael took a step forward. Marco looked at him nervously.
He wants to keep Frondier alive according to Satan’s orders, but Frondier continues to provoke Bael, as if he is really crazy.
Anyway, even if I try to stop Bael right now, Frondier will continue to scratch his insides. Bael won’t back down on his decision, so Marco continues to waste time.
‘… … ‘Frondier.’
Marco glanced at Frontier.
… … It seems that Frontier wants to take time somehow.
Although the signs were there from the beginning, it was a possibility that Marco was the first to deny.
This is because it is too dangerous to do something to waste time.
In a normal operation, both sides of the scale may not be perfectly balanced, but at least both sides of the scale should be off the ground.
Even if it was an unexpected accident that brought so many low-level demons here, it is true that Frontier escaped the empire’s territory almost alone.
Even to the depths where the devil of the abyss might be.
This was clearly an act of summoning Satan’s demons like Marco.
Frondier knew that since Runia was captured, there would be demands, and he even said that he would meet all of the demands. It is clearly a life-threatening situation.
In other words, Frontier placed his life on one side of the scale.
However, if there is only ‘wasting time’ on the other side of the scale, isn’t it too unbalanced?
‘Frondier continues to bide his time in the name of self-defense. And it’s true. It’s impossible to get Frondier to where we are while avoiding all those demons.’
Of course, threatening Frondier, who is being attacked by demons, does not work.
It was no place to care about Runia.
But things have changed.
Frondier has now begun a more understandable taunt. Provoking Bael is not self-defense no matter how you look at it.
In other words, Frontier completely noticed.
May Satan’s demons not kill him. And you must have already realized that it is Satan’s command.
‘… … ‘You damn bastard.’
The moment he found out, Frontier’s behavior changed. In what appears to be nothing more than an accidental act of self-defense, he is clearly showing Marco that he is deliberately putting his neck in danger.
No matter how Frontier is in danger, Marco is in a difficult position.
“Come on, I’ll kill you.”

Bael stepped forward. When he stretched out his right hand, the aurors converged within it and stretched it out. It soon took the form of a blade, and Bael held it.
A miracle shown by Pascal, a former imperial knight and teacher. It is a weaponization of Auror that can only be used by those who have reached the peak of Auror.
Even though Frondier smiled, he broke into a cold sweat behind him.
‘He has the reputation of being the King of Hell, so of course he can achieve that level.’
But that’s not the problem.
In the original mythology, Bael is often mentioned as being a master of swordsmanship.
And for Frontier, the most difficult enemies to deal with are people who have trained one skill to the limit.
It’s rather comfortable to have a large number of mediocre enemies. He is more afraid of one powerful entity than countless low-level demons.
Frontier once had a hard time with Elin. Of course, this was because it was impossible to judge whether Elin was truly an enemy, but even taking that into account, Elin’s skills were threatening.
Even though Frontier had a huge advantage in terms of mana.
‘If you think about it simply, his sword skills are comparable to Senior Elin’s, and even an Auror is a devil enough… … .’
Summarizing it like that, the threat feels real. Frondier’s hand holding the short sword gained strength.
Whick!
Bael drew his sword diagonally. The movement that seemed like a simple swing,
Wow!
“Ugh!”
It became an auror and flew towards Frondier, and was hit by his short sword and scattered.
“You have a good sword. “It doesn’t suit you.”
Bael speaks with a cold gaze.
Frontier thought this was absolutely correct.
Including the short sword, there are many things I don’t like.
‘I heard Aji used an attack like that when dealing with Mijonas.’
Mizonas used his claws to fire an aura, and Bael’s sword itself was an aura. Perhaps the principles of the two are similar.

Frondier duplicated the short sword and held it in his left hand. I was thinking of using the dual swords I used against Belphegor this time again.
“Hoo.”
Bael made a sound as if he was interested.
A sword was born from Frondier’s empty hands. It’s the same sword. From the looks of it, it wasn’t made by Aurors.
“Let’s take a look.”
fault!
Bael’s body was launched towards Frondier. The speed was similar to Marco.
Kang! Cough!
Soon, a barrage of attacks came pouring down. Frontier swings both hands in time for the attack.
‘Ugh… … !’
But Frontier was being pushed back.
Frondier developed his swordsmanship skills while being beaten by Ajie. His defensive skills have now reached the level of expert.
But the attack is not as great. Although he was used to dealing with Ajie’s attacks, his skill in attacking on his own was growing more slowly than that.
Bael realized this right away after crossing swords a few times. Now that he knows that Frondier is not as good at attacking as he is at defending, his attacks become more bold, and it becomes more difficult for Frondier to deal with them.
‘In terms of swordsmanship, he is better than Belphegor… … !’
Truly the king of hell. Number 1 of the 72 Devils was more skilled than Frondier expected. Of course, number 1 is just an order, not a ranking.
Moreover, since it shares a name with the Seven Sins, its inaction would not be irrelevant at all.
Cough! Wow!!
The tempo changes as Bael strikes. The fearsome momentum of trying to overcome Frontier’s speed seemed to be taking advantage of the opportunity.
The sword that is about to strike stops midway, changes its trajectory, and uses shoulder and foot movements between the cutting movements, making it difficult to get the timing right.
Frondier broke into a cold sweat and did his best to respond to the attack, but was clearly on the defensive.
However, Marco, watching the scene, naturally has doubts.
‘Why do we only fight with swords?’
Marco had seen Frontier’s skills a while ago.
An enormous amount of black cloth, and weapons produced and fired from all directions. Of course, Frontier’s fierce strength comes from there.
A frontier who can single-handedly bring out something comparable to the power of an army.
Even if you were dealing with an individual named Bael, it wouldn’t mean you wouldn’t be able to use those attacks. If anything, I would be able to deal with Bael more easily.
‘… … Something is strange. ‘They’re after something.’
But Marco can no longer speak out. Adding something to Bael has never resulted in good results.
Bael is the most proud of the 72 demons. Maybe it’s because he’s number 1, or maybe it’s because of his nickname, the King of Hell.
Moreover, we are now in the middle of a high-speed attack. If Marco gives out poor advice, it could actually become dangerous.
When Marco was worried,
Wow!!
“Kaaak!”
One of Frondier’s swords flew up. Bael read the trajectory that Frondier was trying to defend and twisted his sword.
Bael’s eyes are filled with boredom. He has pretty good swordsmanship, but he can’t read this much imaginary number.
Since Frondier lost his sword, a gap opened up from his shoulder to his chest, which naturally started with his empty hand.
Bael stabbed his sword towards that place without hesitation.
And Frondier hurriedly touched Bael’s sword with his remaining sword,
──Because there is no way that an imaginary number of that magnitude cannot be read.

fall
The Auror sword Bael was holding fell from his hand.
“… … !”
Nakjang can be used at any time.
However, because it cannot be used as perfectly as Aji, Frondier needs time to deploy its weapons.
And even if successful, the fall often causes the opponent’s sword to fly, giving the opponent one last chance.
A chance to catch the sword floating in the air again. In fact, Frondier used that point of the fall to defeat the golem.
However, Bael was confident of his victory, and he stabbed his sword that deeply.
If you use the sword by holding the stabbing sword from top to bottom, the sword that should be flying up will be blocked by Frondier’s blade,
Click!
I tap the ground weakly.
‘What?’
Bael’s eyes widened.
So did you intentionally miss the sword? Did you expect from the beginning that I would twist my sword and strike it down?
‘That’s funny!’
Bael gritted his teeth. Wear an aura all over your body.
Of course, there is no time to remake an Auror’s sword, but there is time to defend it.
Even if there was a gap, it would not be possible to easily penetrate his aura.
Unlike Marco, Bael is seeing Frondier for the first time.
He doesn’t know anything.
Who are you dealing with now?

Black Heaven asks the small sword held by Frontier.
Just like the black stain on the monsters in Yeranhes a while ago.
Just like the time when he blocked all the arrows and terrified the veterans who had been through countless battles against increasingly ferocious monsters.
Helheim’s mana cuts down enemy aurors.
“Are you a regenerative animal too?”
Suddenly!
Frondier cut Bael’s wrist. It was the same hand where Bael dropped his sword.
“Kaaa!!”
Bael screamed and backed away.
Marco watched the scene.
‘You saved all your offensive means to catch him off guard?’
Marco added confidence to confidence.
Frontier is insane. It’s not based on humans, but it’s the same when looking at demons as the standard.
Even from the perspective of a devil whose value of his life is far below that of a human being, no one would do something like that.
Besides, questions still remained.
‘Why the wrist?’
Frontier could have made a much more lethal attack at that moment.
You can’t stop Bael with just one cut on your hand. Especially if you cut it cleanly like that, the severed hand will come back together quickly.
Even if you don’t have Marco’s level of regenerative ability, you can do it if you just put in the time.
“You guy!! dare!!!”
Bael shouted. A power different from that of an Auror began to bloom in his body.
Marco shouted in surprise when he saw that.
I decided not to give Bael advice, but this time I felt a very ominous feeling.
“Now, wait! Bael! “Something is strange!!”
But of course Bael couldn’t hear that sound.
“Die!”
A dark and terrible energy stayed in his eyes, and then shot towards Frondier.
Demon power.
It is the power of the devil unleashed by the king of hell.
“… … .”
Frontier saw that.
His smile disappeared.
The cold sweat running down his back disappeared.
Since everything went as planned, Frondier decided to stop making faces that didn’t suit him.
Unlike the lifeless look in Bael’s eyes, Frondier’s eyes were filled with nothing but laziness.
──Become the king of demons.
Frondier closed his eyes and then opened them again.
