195 – Nine Heavens (5)
Behind the royal castle where the demon of the heavens resides.
There is a mountain range that is as tall as the sacred mountains of the continent.
The royal castle had a mountain with its back to it, and right in front of it was the only blood-red river in the Nine Heavens, and above all, it was protected by a wall of enormous height and area…….
In other words, the place that really deserves to be called Cheolongseong was the royal castle in Yeokcheon.
Even if there is an attack, it will not be easily breached. Basically, it is said that in a siege war, it is advantageous to defend the castle, but even taking that into account, this castle was too strong.
In the first place, who would want to invade the royal castle ruled by the devil of the heavens?
If you go back to the distant past, there was a time when the demons of Yurin and the demons of Yeokcheon faced each other, and there were times when a powerful individual among the demon princes rebelled.
So, the record of this royal castle was perfect. Not a single defeat was tolerated.
Not only were they protected by the evil energy of the Three Kings, but the resident high-ranking demons under Yeokcheon were by no means weak.
Naturally, the demons within the royal castle became confident.
No matter what time it is, this place will never be invaded.
No matter what time comes, this royal castle will not fall.
Yes. Indeed, even if the apocalyptic day comes when the continent is destroyed and the Nine Heavens collapse…
Definitely.
Kugugugu Palace…… !
[Ugh!!]
Such confident faith and trust, and above all, absolute loyalty to the Three Kings and the King.
On this day, ridiculously enough, it was starting to show signs of collapse.
Demon Duke Apophis unintentionally became shaken within himself.
He wanted to believe in his lord, but the current situation was not so conducive.
The devil of Yeokcheon suffered considerable damage in the battle with the same Three Kings, ‘Yurin’.
Unlike the demon of Yurin who suffered a blow to his soul, it was a relatively light wound that would not last long if he had time to recover.
Even so, a wound is a wound. Damage was damage.
The internal injuries suffered in the Three Kings level blood battle were at a level that could not be ignored.
The devil of Yeokcheon went into the deepest part of the royal castle and had a time of purification, and the demon army led by Apophis was protecting the royal castle to protect him.
However, despite this, I did not think that there would be an intruder outside the ship.
Wouldn’t he be like that too? No matter how much the demon of the reverse heaven had ceased its activities, there was no demon anywhere in the nine heavens foolish enough to be brave enough to attack his stronghold. Because there won’t be any.
What’s more, isn’t the Devil of Yurin and her kingdom now on the verge of extinction?
If I were to choose an opponent, it would be the devil of struggle…….
He literally pursues a fight and never fights to the death.
If he dies, he will no longer be able to fight.
Therefore, the three kings, who had shown a strong desire to win but had never once attacked the territory of another three kings, were the strugglers.
[…] … Does not make sense… ….]
So, Apophis could not have anticipated this strange situation at all.
A natural disaster that was not even considered in our imagination.
What on earth do I have to think to know about a future in which dragons, who would have gone extinct a hundred years ago, come in droves and attack the capital?
Did those arrogant dragons carry out a hundred years of deception tactics?
If not, is it possible that some kind of miracle of the goddess descended on the continent while they were trapped in this nine heavens?
It was an assumption that was not easy to understand or accept either way.
It was a moment when Apophis did not want to accept the current situation and was just trying to deny reality.
Quaaa!
[…] … !]
A loud noise erupted again. It was on the outer side of the castle wall.
So, the attack started from the mountain range located behind the royal castle. No, bombing.
Flutter!
Apophis moved his body again, even as he grinded his teeth.
Like a devil, he spread his black wings and cut through the air.
Of course, he was not the only high-ranking demon in the legion, so demons that could respond to attacks from the dragon race were placed everywhere.
The problem was that the enemy commander was so clever that it was impossible to tell who he was.
I don’t know how they realized that the current commander of the royal castle was Apophis, but they also dispersed their power so that they could not stay in one place.
It’s just terrible that the two demon princes in the castle were absent at the same time.
As a high-ranking devil, Apophis was by no means a weak-class devil……. He was also no match for the great supply.
There are bound to be limits to the movement of moving around and protecting the wide outer walls of the royal castle.
Kyaaa!
[Damn it…… !]
With the roar of the dragon clan resounding, Apophis forced himself to leap through space.
The moment you forcefully close the distance by tearing through the air, what comes down is a barrage of fire.
In other words, dragon’s breath. Dragon’s Breath.
A dark instrument swirled from Apophis’ instinctively stretched out arm.
Kwagwagwagwang!!
[…] … Pfft!]
With the curtain of instruments spread beyond his outstretched arms, he succeeded in blocking the red dragon’s breath that was about to melt the castle walls.
The damage to Apophis was also not easy to see.
The palm on the side where the instrument was opened was slightly burned.
If it’s the original, all you have to do is try rapid playback.
But that wasn’t possible in this fight. Why?
The reason was also simple.
Saaa… ….
There was an energy flowing from deep within the dragon army that settled in the mountains.
Unlike the ominous energy of demons, the power of blood feels somehow pure.
Apophis did not know that it was the blood power that vampires wielded, but he had to feel the impact of the fog of energy that spread like that.
The moment you receive a wound, blood-red energy penetrates into the wound.
If there was bleeding, it was even more dangerous.
That unidentified energy dug into the wound like a ghost and somehow tried to draw out blood from deeper inside.
Apopis, no, just prevents continuous damage from the penetration of that energy. Not only that, but the countless demons within the capital had no choice but to bear a certain amount of loss of musical instruments.
Such a battle lasted for nearly dozens of hours.
How can I not get tired?
No matter how evil a demon is, recovery of energy and replenishment of energy is necessary.
The other party was supporting the dragons’ offensive by constantly spewing out blood-red energy, as if they were not consuming such natural energy.
How on earth can one continuously demonstrate one’s abilities like that?
Apopis couldn’t help but feel an instinctive curiosity about the other person’s identity.
Still, it was unfortunate that there was no way to know.
Apopis felt a sense of awe towards the owner of the blood-red energy.
Among them, the proportion of fear was quite large.
I feel as if I have witnessed a monster whose power I cannot fathom.
The thing that made Apophis feel such ominous feelings was that there were only three people in the nine heavens so far…….
What kind of power does it really wield, and how does it replenish its energy, so that it can continue its constant attacks?
Apophis closed his eyes tightly as he forcibly blocked the dozens of breaths pouring in again.
There was nothing more he could do.
Just waiting and holding on is the best he can do.
Either the two grand dukes return, or the lord they serve wakes up.
That was all.
*****
The middle of a mountain range. A hideout protected by several elite sea dragons.
It was a temporary space, but the level of completion was quite good.
If nothing else, such a space was able to be formed because Eonhwaryeong piled several days’ worth of food and other daily necessities on the back of a sea dragon.
And while the siege war against the capital is in full swing, what is happening in the hideout in the mountains?
“hehehe, hehehe, hehehe…” ….”
The sound of moaning continued to echo there.
It is mainly the helplessness of a woman who seems to have reached the limit of her strength.
To explain, should we say that it is the reality of energy replenishment related to the ‘mystery of ability to sustain battle’ that Apophis was so curious about?
Eon Hwa-ryeong, who was called King Myeong (冥王) in a certain future, was no better than a blood bag for a vampire at this point.
“…… “Your blood doesn’t taste that good.”
“Hi, hi, ooh…” ….”
“But since there is no substitute, I will try to drink it.”
Yum yum.
While clinging to Eonhwaryeong’s neck and constantly sucking blood, Eve casually added, ‘But there is a strange smell when eating it.’
Of course, these were not words that Eonhwaryeong, who was half out of his mind, could hear.
“Hmm.”
After stepping on the land of the nine heavens, the eighth continuous vampire time has ended.
Leaving the frozen Hwaryeong’s trembling body lying flat on the floor for a moment, Eve lifted her up.
Your skin is as smooth as ever.
Anyway, now it was time to attack the castle once again.
