Chapter 99: The King of Demons (2)
──The devils call it ‘Pandemonium.’ If you try it, you’ll see why it’s called that.
Hichiko’s Chairman ‘Arald’ said.
When the demonic powers of each person collide, it is called pantemonium.
The ‘power of the devil’ has different properties for each devil.
Just as Belphegor, the demon of sloth, grants ‘Sloth’, and Leah Reiss grants ‘Charm’.
As such, the power of the devil is not originally intended to kill enemies.
This also applies to Frondier, who still does not know the identity of the devil’s power he possesses.
The same goes for Bael, who is burning to death.
‘If this is the case, he will know my topic.’
Bael believes in the power of the devil.
His power is ‘fear’.
Known as the King of Hell, he literally instills fear in his opponents. It is the most appropriate power for those who rule.
Until now, there has been no demon that has not succumbed to his demonic power, and this is why he was able to create a huge demonic army in the west.
The moment I made eye contact with Frontier with such strong confidence.
‘… … her… … ?’
Bael felt a strange power in Frondier’s eyes.
For a moment I thought it was an illusion, but it was definitely true.
Demon power.
Frontier was also using demonic powers.
‘How do humans… … !’
Bael was agitated, but came to his senses again.
Even if he could use the power of the devil, nothing would change. His power has been absolute until now.
Demonic power is evidence of obedience among demons.
Naturally, demons who want to be on top compete with each other.
When the powers of the devil are applied to each other, it would be nice if the stronger one would simply win, but since the types of powers are different in the first place, that doesn’t work out that way.
To some extent, there is compatibility, and both can withstand the strength of the other, or both cannot.
In other words, when demonic powers collide, it is not simply a clash of energies, but the intangible power itself engages in another fight.
It is only at this time that the demons ‘face’ each other’s power.
Kugugu-
The ground they were standing on slowly began to crack.
Hot lava flows as if a spring has burst, and hot air that dries up all sweat and moisture rises upward.
The screams of the dead pouring down from the sky, or the mockery and contempt that falls upon Frondier.
Bael’s power ‘fear’. This is the illusion it creates.
It’s too realistic to just be called a fantasy, so you feel the same pain as you would in a fantasy.
In the process, those with weak hearts may die from shock.
This is also the reason why Bael shouted for death. Because there is no way a mere human could withstand the illusion he shows.
When only one side uses the power of the devil, only its effect is applied to the opponent, but when the power of the devil collides with each other, the root of the power is revealed. This is a battle over nuclear power that must never be lost.
“I am Bael, King of Hell.”
Bael stands on the hellish landscape he created and fires his still deadly force at Frondier.
“Do you think someone like you can withstand my power?”
Lava begins to flow over Frontier’s feet. A group of reapers approaching from all directions holding huge scythes.
Squeak, something comes up from the lava, reaching out its hand. Raising the body that was melting and flowing with lava, it slowly made its way to Frondier.
They make sounds that are neither screams nor laughter. No, it’s not making a sound, it’s just making sounds at will.
Hwiik-
Suddenly!
As they slowly approached, a huge blade fell from the air and cut Frondier’s right wrist. As if it were revenge for Frondeer cutting off Bael’s wrist.
Frondier frowns silently and looks at his arm with the wrist cut off. Indeed, even though it is an illusion, the pain is real.
‘This is Pantemonium… … .’
The power of the devil is the power of the soul. The soul each person possesses becomes a weapon to stab the other person.
I really knew what was going on. Literally everything you see is a mess.
Frondier knew that demonic powers revealed themselves when they collided. That is why he induced Bael to use the power of the devil against him.

The lava had already begun to attack his feet and the Shinigami’s breath brushed his shoulder.
In the meantime, Frondier asked Bael.
“Hey, Bael.”
“What.”
“Where am I?”
her? Bael frowns at Frondier’s strange words.
Where are you, what kind of nonsense is this person talking about? Have you really mistaken this fantasy for reality?
“You must be the king of hell.”
However, Frondier continues talking.
“Then this must be the scene of hell. Isn’t it? “What hell are you talking about where you reign as king?”
“… … .”
It was only then that Bael realized what Frondier was talking about.
But there was nothing to reply.
Chi-ik!
The lava that hit Frondier’s feet now burns his skin.
Sigh! Wow!
The Shinigami’s scythes are embedded in his shoulders, side, and thighs. It is a prank intended to cause pain without intentionally killing.
However, in a situation where it would not be strange if he had already screamed and died from shock first, Frondier still asks Bael.
“What hell is this? Nastrond? Or is it Tartarus?”
Bael was speechless as he saw the strange situation in Frondier.
It would be surprising to see Frondier remain calm while enduring all of his fears, but
In reality, Bael had nothing to answer to Frondier’s question.
“… … Right.”
Frondier looked at Bael who remained silent and nodded as if he understood.
“This is nowhere. Lava and the Reaper, ghosts crying noisily, blades falling like guillotines, and corpses climbing out of the lava. “There’s no way hell can be this hot.”
“You… … !”
Bael gritted his teeth at Frondier’s insult.
Why is that person okay? Why don’t you submit to my power? Does that mean you don’t feel pain? Are you saying hell isn’t scary?
Regardless of Bael’s inability to believe the reality before his eyes, Frondier just continued to think calmly.
‘I thought it would be a chance to see hell since he was the king of hell, but it turned out to be a failure.’
Frondier heard that Ospreet escaped from the world and went to Nastrond, and remembered that place when he saw Bael, the king of hell. Nastrond may also go to Frondier someday. Even if it was a fantasy, I thought there was nothing wrong with seeing it in person.
This was the first reason for setting up a confrontation between Bael and the power of the devil, but it went off spectacularly.
‘… … Well, it’s greedy to hope that my guesses are always right, and I’ve been lucky so far.’
But there is something I know instead.
Quack! Quad deuk!
The Grim Reaper’s scythe stabbing Frondier even deeper, the lava melting his body. Zombie-like things that crawl out of the lava and capture Frondier.
Looking at them all one by one, Frondier’s eyes slowly sank.
Except for the wrist that was cut off the first time, Frondier feels no pain anymore.
The leg that appears to be melting does not melt, and the entire body that appears to have been stabbed by a sickle does not bleed.
“Bael.”
Frondier gave Bael a boring look.
“You have never heard the sound of the dead.”
“… … !”
The ghosts who have been making noise around me since a while ago.
Of course, it may be intended to scare the enemy, but from Frondier’s point of view, it is just an irritant.
He actually heard the sound of the dead.
Not just one or two, but countless ghosts that we didn’t even try to count. I remember completely removing that lump.
To him, the sounds of the ghosts chattering around him were not the slightest bit similar to that.
“The man who has never heard the screams of the dead is called the ‘King of Hell.’”
Perhaps this devil called Bael is fundamentally different from ‘Beelzebub’.
“… … Shut up, shut up! Even if that were the case, you wouldn’t be able to escape this illusion! What have you done! “What tricks can you use to block my power!”
“It’s not about blocking.”
Frondier grabbed the Reaper’s scythe deeply embedded in his body.
Even though it was an illusion, the Shinigami seemed embarrassed for some reason.
There’s no way I can hold this?
Clink!
The next moment, Frondier lightly squeezed his hand and everything on the Shinigami, including the scythe, shattered like glass.
Even if it were a Shinigami, it wouldn’t disappear like that. The illusion is being shattered.
“I can see it with my eyes. The absurd scenes you created. “It has no meaning if it was created by a baseless person who doesn’t know hell.”
Frontier with weave.
In his eyes, he can grasp everything created as an illusion.
Just as even Archmage Merlin’s dreams didn’t work for him.
“Bael. Are you trying to beat me in a ‘fake’ fight?”
Frondier picked up his severed hand. When I put it on and moved my hand, it returned to its original state on its own.
“Hey, this guy… … ! Even if I hold on, I am the one who can win in this space! “Don’t you know that your devil’s power falls far short of mine?”
Bael shouted as if overcome by evil.
Since ‘Pantemonium’ was created, there is no doubt that Frondier confronted Bael with the power of the devil.
However, not even a trace of Frontier’s demonic power can be seen yet.
The reason is simple.
Frondier was curious about the hell that Bael showed. But it was disappointing. It was neither Nastrond nor Tartarus.
Frontier was curious about Pantemonium. And in general, I figured it out. They say it’s a battle of the soul, but in Bael’s case, he relies too much on the illusions he creates.
Perhaps, if he were truly the king of hell, the hells here would have been completed more realistically, and in that case, Frontier might also have been dangerous.
And the final reason why Frontier created Pantemonium.
Frondier is curious about ‘his’ demonic powers.
“Then let’s do it, Bael.”
Frondier made a gun shape with his fingers and aimed it at Bael.
It was an action that had no particular meaning. Since I am not familiar with the power of the devil, I am just trying to aim mentally.
“… … “What are you doing?”
“Well. “Pantemonium.”
Bael only showed Frondier an illusion. A fake, not a real hell.
“Let’s have a ‘fake’ fight.”
And when Frondeer unleashed the power of the devil.
Pop-
What Bael heard at that time was a sound as if the Wizard View had been turned off.
It wasn’t just a sound.
The screen of the world suddenly turned off as if the power had gone out.
There were no noisily crying dead people, no shaking ground, and no glowing lava.
“… … “What is this?”
Bael tried to say, ‘What is this trivial thing?’
But everything that was said after that disappeared.
Bael did not keep quiet. He opened his mouth and exhaled by vibrating his vocal cords, but no sound was produced.
“… … , … … !”
Bael looks around. No, I believe that. Before I knew it, the feeling in my feet had disappeared. Even when I turn my body, I don’t even feel the wind passing by, so I don’t even know I turned.
You can’t see, you can’t hear, and you can’t feel anything even when you touch your body.
If you cut off your ankle like the blade he created, your remaining senses will respond even though your foot will be gone.
Pain is evidence of existence.
But now Bael lost his body without any pain.
No, I don’t know if I lost my body or if I’m still fine.
‘… … This.’
FALSE.
It’s fake.
Pantemonium is a battle of the soul. Although they are not real substances, they certainly exist, and they fight for each other’s existence.
In fact, a demon with a stronger soul may be able to overcome the opponent’s power by believing that it is an illusion. This is one of the attack methods.
… … But that doesn’t mean you can say it’s fake.
‘… … Ahhh. aaa!!!’
Bael screamed. However, the only thought that remained was that I had given up.
However, if you don’t even do that, Bael will doubt even your thoughts.
Not everything you try to do will work out in reality. That alone is enough to break my soul.
Frontier said it was a fake fight.
Can you tell a fake from nothing?
Frontier doesn’t just accept himself as a fake.
I’m not talking about skills or abilities.
The pantemonium he created is spreading fake.
Bael’s hands, feet, voice, body, thoughts, and being become fake.
Duuung-!
A faint sound passes through Bael’s ears.
Bael raised his head. He believed his hearing had returned.
However, Bael is still exiled from this world.
A body deprived of all senses actually gives Bael auditory hallucinations.
Frontier does not attack enemies with illusions.
The enemy creates his own illusion and it collapses on his own.
When Bael looked up he saw.
Eyes looking down at him impassively from up there.
‘… … bar… … egg… … .’
As he looks up, something cold, a voice, hits him coldly from above.
──Did you know that your death would have any meaning?
Bro got that Unlimited Void💀
