139. Did you do it? (One)
A demon with the appearance of a young, handsome boy murmured as he burned the legionnaires as they flocked like meat shields.
Aside from this pretentious appearance, his voice was tinged with eerie wickedness, just like a villain in a movie.
“Bryunakra, these guys have quite interesting weapons.”
The Divine Spear Brünach, which fills all four corners of Purgatory with power unholy to demons, was a threatening weapon that even this powerful demon could not ignore.
However, even if it is originally a good weapon, its performance varies dramatically depending on the person who handles it.
Even though the god’s weapon appeared, he never thought that he would be defeated by it unless the original owner of the weapon appeared in person.
“I don’t know who threw it, but… … .”
The original owner of that spear, the god of light, was a being that made the devil’s talk cold.
Those called gods are the ones who can’t intervene severely in the world, so when he directly confronted the owner of Brunak, he could only use his limited power, which was less than 30% of his original one.
The owner of the spear slaughtered demons even in such a situation, and was the owner of terrible skills who took the lives of the feudal lords as if nothing happened.
“Brunak is not a weapon that is used like that.”
However, the guy who threw Brunak at himself now, unlike his original owner, was just a kid with very poor skills.
A formless flame is not easily eaten by anything.
The threat of that spear was that the opponent, like himself, held the spear in a state unconstrained by the shape and stuck to it and stabbed it, and could not easily avoid it.
“Did you think I would be hit by a javelin?”
In a situation where Brunak’s owner didn’t appear in person, Baal didn’t have to be nervous just because the opponent had a divine weapon.
“I am Baal.”
The number one demon in the hierarchy, a being with the name Baal, was once considered the greatest being before the demons were isolated from the world.
Many regarded him as a ‘god’ and the power he gained from this was formidable, and even some groups still did not hesitate to worship him.
Even the Lord of Destruction, the ruler of Purgatory, cannot be certain of the odds of winning until he regains all his power. That very scary being is himself.
“Are you saying the ruler of purgatory is nervous because of all these miscellaneous things?”
When he thought of the Lord of Destruction who discouraged him from going out and fighting alone against such enemies, Baal’s mouth caught a fishy sneer.
It’s enough to burn bugs like this, but what the hell is so scary?
Although the number was enormous, they were only a threat to the demons the lords placed under them, and to the number one demon in the ranks, they were nothing more than things that could not be properly touched.
“Anyway, you don’t fit the ruler of Purgatory.”
In Baal’s mind, the Ruin Lord was just lucky and seized the opportunity, but his skills were of little importance.
Doesn’t the subject who gained strength while being worshiped by the demons of purgatory suddenly die and come back? But it’s just that I’m scared and dirty, so it looks like I’ve packed a lot of shit.
Purgatory was invaded by the ruler of Purgatory.
What kind of demonic ruler is that?
This had never happened since the opening of Purgatory, and it should never have happened, even if the enemies were quite competent.
It was Baal’s idea that this was all the fault of a foolish ruler, and it seemed that it would be a much better choice for him to take the position than him.
“Lord of Ruin. After I burn all those miscellaneous things, you and Agares will have to disappear from Purgatory.”
I’m in a very bad mood because more stupid people who have already followed such a guy don’t even know how to do it.
Of course, I wasn’t confident enough to be beaten by demons who couldn’t control their strength properly and couldn’t even control it elaborately, and who only knew how to make ignorance.
“Stupid things. I don’t even know what to prioritize, so I’m just suffering like this.”
The number 1 in the demon hierarchy hated the foolish princes of demons.
All he believed in was competent demons who were loyal to him, and all other demons who showed extreme incompetence and were imprisoned in purgatory were trash by his standards.
“I am different from you guys.”
Baal had no intention of showing mercy and mercy to those who fearlessly bared their teeth at him.
While this happened, after blocking the legion, he thought of returning to the throne after kicking out all the scumbags.
“There is nothing I can do. I am the devil god.”
Before the Lord of Destruction appeared and conquered all the other princes to build his power, he was the real owner of the devil.
In fact, except for the Lord of Destruction, who has completely restored the power of Purgatory by force, he is the one who cannot be defeated by anyone.
No, in fact, even if the Lord of Destruction carried all the power on his back, he was so stupid and didn’t know how to wield his power properly, so it didn’t seem like he would lose if they fought one-on-one.
A delightful and bloody smile appeared on the young man’s lips.
“Well?”
It was at that moment that I felt a very ominous feeling, as if I had splashed cold water all over my body.
“Where is the divine power… … Ugh!”
From the front, a beam of light of enormous size was flying straight toward him, boasting an overwhelming spirit that evaporated even the meat shields of the Legion.
“… … !”
Baal immediately turned into flame and threw himself.
Flash!
A wave of tremendous divine power tore through the space he had been in.
“Ceraphim… … !!!”
In front of Baal, who appeared again as a boy from the coalescence of sparks, there was a dark-haired woman staring at him with cold eyes.
The dark life that seemed to burn everything and the powerful divinity felt in it, and the head of the clan, who lost all the descendants of all races to the devil after he was imprisoned, was showing his anger.
“The dragon cursed by the gods. Didn’t you want the world to end too? We are the ones who achieve what you want instead. Why are you helping them… … .”
Baal’s words did not follow.
Once again, the space in all directions was brightly lit, and it seemed that the other person had no intention of responding to the conversation at all.
“Right. Let’s try this.”
The bloody life of the opponent who only wants the death of the devil.
However, the corner of Baal’s mouth slowly rising as he gazed at her seemed to have aroused interest in his rival who had finally appeared.
“You won’t be my opponent anyway.”
Dark red flames rising toward the flash that attacked him, and the hottest energy generated by the burning of matter began to rise around Baal like a storm.
Flash-!!!
The divine power created by the beings closest to the gods in this world collided head-on with the flames of hell, and a powerful shockwave generated here began to turn Purgatory upside down.
The worms of the Legion, which were nearby and disappeared without even leaving ashes, and the demons following Baal, but those who made these miracles did not bother about such trivial things.
“Purgatory.”
Amidst the flashes of light, the Cheraphim, who had been dodging the flames and driving Baal, finally spoke.
“Originally mine.”
The battle between them was getting longer little by little.
* * *
“crazy… … .”
The space where we were hiding until just now to ambush Baal was torn to pieces by a terrifying beam of divine power fired by a cheraphim that appeared out of nowhere.
If it had been a little too late to get out of the body after hearing the guy’s cry, it was certain that I or the elder would have been ground neatly like meat in a butcher’s grinder in that beam of light.
Wow.
What is he counting like that?
“hey… … .”
“Yes, old man.”
“Somehow, he was only good to you. After all, he was also a woman.”
“… … What does that mean?”
“Look at this guy’s wide range of defense. It attracts all kinds of races and aliens. What kind of pheromone are you emitting?”
“… … .”
I didn’t even know he was a woman.
“Even pretty… … .”
“… … .”
“How are you?”
“What.”
“Let’s marry him right now.”
“… … Oh really, I’m going to people, not lizards.”
While we were chatting with each other, the sky in Purgatory began to fill with sparks and dazzling flashes of divine power.
Keraphim, who recovered his body with the help of his alien friends, woke up from a long slumber and finally came to the fore and started a bloody battle with the demonic rank 1.
“That looks familiar… … .”
An explosion of divine power, devouring the horizon, as if another sun appeared and disappeared in the sky.
It’s like, it’s almost identical to the technique I used in the past when the old manager dealt with the flesh of disaster.
Of course, the old manager got sick and stretched out after using a room at that time, but now Keraphim was almost ‘rambling’ with that level of skill.
“Old man.”
“uh.”
“Why can’t the elderly do that?”
After hearing my question, the manager frowned.
“… … He’s a divine dragon. In fact, it means that the being who should enter the Pantheon has descended. In contrast, I and King Arthur are just apostles. Just like the dumpling lady over there, we just receive the power of a transcendent being and wield it instead. But did he have his own powers? It’s on a different level from just borrowing and using it in the first place.”
“Aha… … .”
“Anyway, the devil is enduring all that again. This, if we went out, it might have been messed up… … .”
As the manager said, if Keraphim hadn’t come forward, we, who had been swollen for wearing good weapons and armor, would have gone out to deal with him.
But judging from the scene where the two of them fight, Baal wasn’t the kind of guy we could get an estimate for just because he had good equipment.
“It’s a monster… … .”
I didn’t know that Baal would be so strong because the Lord of Destruction fell out in one punch, and most of the other demon princes were easily subdued.
Legendary dragons and demons repeatedly disappeared and reappeared in an instant like Hong Gil-dong, and each time, the legion troops and demons gathered around them melted away like ice cream and disappeared.
The ability that Kerapim was showing now was great, but Baal was at the level of counterattacking with sparks while avoiding it by teleporting.
Apparently, he seems to be the final weapon in Purgatory, but if he didn’t know what to do, he would almost be destroyed horribly.
‘Keraphim must win.’
One thought that suddenly came to mind here is that if we can’t catch that monster with our own strength, eventually a situation will come in which Luna will have to step in.
I don’t want to kill that child if possible, but if we can’t subdue Baal, we have no choice but to consume the final weapon.
‘Hu, what should I do to help… … .’
As I watched the absurd battle of the monsters, all the members of the corps gathered around me, including me, were staring blankly at the sky.
This kind of lethargy has been a long time since I saw the demon purifying the [Demon Castle] in the past.
Then I heard the muttering of the old manager.
“To use divine power like that… … . That seems to be much stronger than the high-ranking bastards who descended from the Pantheon… … .”
divine power.
The power gained by ruling over a tribe with a godhead and receiving their worship.
Wait, by any chance, can I use such a technique?
“I feel like I can somehow follow along… … .”
As I kept watching, I got a feel for how to use it roughly. In one hand, I tried to gather the disparate power that I felt inside me.
A fundamentally different power from the psionic energy I was used to using, which King Arthur had enlightened me to, but which I had not known how to use until now, began to slowly appear on the palm of my hand stretched toward the sky.
“… … ?”
Before I knew it, what was created on my hand was a flame that burns like a demon’s fire.
“Hey, how did you do that?”
When I turned my head, there was a manager with an open mouth looking at the flame of divine power rising from my hand with a stupid expression.
“Just.”
“… … just?”
“Did you do it?”
“… … such crazy.”
