168. destruction and redemption
Pajijik…
The demon king stretched out his fist and furrowed his brow. Fierce sparks ran through her body.
It is daunting just to maintain the ‘system’ in the Devil’s Castle, but he forced himself into the castle stone barrier. For her, just standing here was a huge burden.
The restraints of the world were rebuking her for breaking the rules. The sparks bouncing around the small body from earlier were proof of that.
Unlike the previous demon king, that is, her mother, this was the case even though the influence of the restriction was reduced by half.
[…]
The demon king looked down at the sword in his right hand.
If you perform ‘Creation of Phenomenon’, which is equivalent to trust, you can end all warriors and walls on the spot. However, it was a special move even for the Great Demon King, literally a power far beyond the authority of a mortal.
No matter how much she inherited the power of her predecessor, it was impossible to unfold it within the constraints.
To put it bluntly, even the ‘expansion of the phenomenon’, that is, the sword that her unconscious named it, would be too much of a burden.
can’t take the time Just moving the four corps commanders cost the Demon King’s army a huge cost. How much more so will the coming of the demon king be?

Just by her standing here, the Demon King’s army suffered enormous losses. However, it was impossible to lose four corps commanders, so it descended with aggression.
So you need to save as much power as possible. Just fire one more pure power as before, completely destroy the castle wall and retreat.
As she turned to look at Oz, a portion of the world’s demons flocked to him.
saa…
Click click!
“Oh, oh…! Ohhh…!”
Oz’s bones trembled, enjoying the glory and power personally bestowed by the Demon King.
Through the overflowing demonic energy, the Demon Lord’s intentions were conveyed.
“I understand, great birth… I will honor you…!”
He expressed his glory in a clear tone different from before.
Oz raised his staff and prepared a complicated ceremony. Even though he consumed all his strength, the fullness of his entire body made it possible to develop a large-scale magic.
A huge circle was drawn on the battlefield where the demon army stood, and gradually complex geometric patterns began to be drawn in it. It was a teleport on a formidable scale that would instantly move the entire army to the edge of the continent.
Lilith took Satan, who was almost like a corpse.
‘retreat…’
she bit her lip.
Even if he led a force capable of conquering the continent, four highly strengthened veteran corps commanders, he was defeated horribly. Because of this, the demon king personally descended here, enduring great losses. Perhaps after this war is over, the demon lord’s army will have to go into long maintenance.
Although they regret the retreat, it was their own fault for being disloyal. Lilith was just hurrying without a word for the Demon King.
On the other hand, Doyoon standing on the wall watched the movement of the demon army and the state of the demon king.
‘Preparing to retreat.’
and that spark. When I saw that, the fact that the world was rejecting the Demon King was strongly conveyed.
The greatest power of the demon lord is the power to use the demon itself like a limb. However, in the recent clash with King Seong, he refrained from using his strength and used martial arts.
Doyoon was sure there.
‘I can’t fully unfold my strength.’
Only then did I understand to some extent.
The reason why God couldn’t descend directly and defeat the demon king. The Godhead is limited in its exercise of power over the world. that’s the rule of the world
That’s why the Great Demon King of the previous generation, who had stepped into the divine position, did not come out of the Devil Castle, and tried to conquer the continent only through methods such as corps commanders and the Demon King’s Army. Gods have also defended it with indirect methods such as the return of Enoch, the Holy Stone, and the blessings of the system.
‘It’s still a mystery how he broke through the restrictions and arrived here…’
As expected, it seems that it cannot be completely free from restrictions.
That she uses Do-yoon’s own martial arts… It was something I had to check from now on.
Doyoon checked the system messages he had turned off.
Tring!
Tring!
Tring!

The sound of the notification sounded frighteningly, overlapping several times. The system window filled my field of vision in an instant.
[The skill ‘Javelin’ has been leveled up. Current Level: 5]
[The skill ‘Swordsmanship’ has been leveled up. Current level: 7]
[The skill ‘Swordsmanship’ has been leveled up. Current Level: 8]
[The skill ‘King of the King’ has been leveled up. Current Level: 5]
[The stat ‘Strength’ has been leveled up. Current Level: 6]
[The B-rate skill ‘Gear Spear’ has been created.]
[A-rate skill ‘Brandish’ has been created.]
Various skills and stats leveled up, and [Swordsmanship] entered the realm of a whopping 8 levels. In addition, two high-rate skills were created.
Unlike the last war, it is this much growth even though I couldn’t purchase the ‘point replacement system’. Well, the fight with several corps commanders was an unprecedented, gigantic battle. Perhaps other warriors will also have considerable growth.
And just now, one last new skill was created.
Tring!
[B-rate skill ‘Indomitable’ has been created.]
[The skill ‘Indomitable’ evolves to ‘Indestructible’.]
[Immortality]
(Lv.- Rate. A)
(The upper skill of ‘Indomitable’.
If you want to live, you will die; if you want to die, you will live. When there is an earnest desire to achieve even at the cost of one’s life, a warrior can fight beyond death. It is an intense, once-in-a-lifetime experience that gives the warrior an indomitable epiphany.
But even this was just a daily routine for you, who have been through a lot of chaos. As long as you have an earnest desire and a firm will to achieve it, you will never yield in the face of death. You will fight to the death.
Your condition is unaffected by injuries and detrimental effects. This effect lasts until an irreversible wound is received.)
The fatigue went away in an instant, and vitality returned to the whole body. The mana that had run out was restored, even a little, and ran furiously through the bloodstream.
Except for mana, it is in perfect condition. Of course, it only felt that way, but the actual stamina was still not much left.
It is a skill created through a bloody battle with Satan. Although it was a single battle, the fight to the death with the corps commander was enough to create such a great skill. The evolution of skills must have been influenced by Enoch’s life.
‘If it’s this much…’
Doyoon, who gained energy to move, clenched his fists.
Now is the time to really confront the demon king.
Doyoon looked ahead. As if the demon king was preparing for a second attack, he stretched out his hand again to gather demon energy.
‘Only the complete destruction of the walls must be prevented.’
To do this, it was necessary to draw her attention.
Do-yoon, who made a plan, opened his mouth.
“Sophie. Take me to the center of the battlefield.”
“Yes, yes!?”
Hearing the strange conversation with Eloah and the remarks he made earlier about commanding the alliance, she let out a shrieking sound in surprise.
Before she could ask, the surrounding generals grabbed Doyun.
“Do, the apostle Doyun? What did you just mean?”
“To command the coalition? What do you mean by someone who isn’t even a hero yet…”
Doyoon silently turned his head and looked at Dokgo Mooyeong.
Dokgo Moo-yeong, who met his eyes, nodded and opened his mouth.
“…About 20 years ago, the Lion King ascended to the position of Supreme Commander of the Alliance.”
The sudden speech drew attention to him.
“The Alliance Law stipulates that in an emergency like now when the Lion King is unable to command, the procedure for transferring total command to the ‘most senior warrior’ is specified. As a quorum for a decision here, the consent of more than half of the warriors within reach is required.”
And as everyone knows, the ‘oldest warrior’ was Dokgo Moo-young.
However, Dokgo Moo-yeong declared something different from everyone’s expectations.
“Hero Dokgo Moo-young. In accordance with the Confederation Act, I agree to transfer the overall command of the allied forces to the first hero, ‘Enoch Roosevolnik’.”
“…Yes?”
“to? Master?”
In the end, the name came out directly from the mouth of an authority figure like Dokgo Moo-young.
The nuance as if ‘Enoch Rouge Volnik’ is here. It was very clear who he was talking about.
When everyone dared not open their mouths, Heineken also raised his hand.
“Hero Heineken. I agree with Enoch Roosevolnik’s exercise of total command.”
“uh? Yes, the death penalty?”
Ray, who was dumbfounded, stuttered in embarrassment when the brother-in-law next to him came forward.
“Hero Brudet. I agree with Enoch Roosevolnik’s exercise of total command.”
In addition, even Brudet, a living great man who is currently evaluated as having the most legitimacy in the coalition.
With their hearts beating, the three raised their hands in the eyes of everyone and declared their approval. The three of them were greatly trembling at the glory of being together, at the presence of the great One who had helped out.
There was a suffocating silence at the sudden action of the three heroes.
They also had things they saw and heard on the battlefield. However, this was just a rumor-like suspicion.
It was just a delusion that would appear in a children’s storybook, that a legendary hero would return and defeat the demon king and save the world. Of course, I can’t help but believe it.
But now… indeed, the whole truth was clearly appearing before their eyes.
The hearts of everyone standing on the wall were pounding as if they were about to explode.
The Lion King looked up at Doyoon, trembling with bloodshot eyes.
Covered in blood, he struggled to squeeze his voice.
“really…”
Some of them turned their attention to Eloa, who was crying and stopping Doyun, who had started to speak for the first time.
She forced herself to swallow her unstoppable tears, then gave up, biting her lips in agony.
Eloa got down on one knee and paid homage to the man standing in front of the wall.
“Eloa Triguard belonging to the ‘Guild’. I will follow the Master’s will!”
Eloah, the master of the World Tree, and Han Do-yoon, an apostle belonging to the World Tree.
However, the position Eloah spoke of was different from that. Everyone knew what she was talking about.
The only organization that used the common noun ‘Guild’ as a proper noun. The beginning of all existing guilds. The strongest group in the history of the union where heroes gathered, now gone into history.
100 years ago, it was the first guild where Enoch Roosevolnik was a master.
And Eloah, who belonged to that place, knelt in front of everyone with this in her mouth.
It was time to really fight for him and get out of the relationship that was just a facade.
Leaving the generals who looked at her with trembling eyes alone, Dokgo Moo-young continued.
“Considering the urgency of the situation, unnecessary procedures will be omitted below. Six extant warriors. Among them, King Seong is unconscious. Three for, two for no. Since a majority of the quorum voted in favor, the bill is declared passed. As of this moment, general command of the Coalition is transferred to Enoch Roozvolnik!”
At that moment, a system message appeared in front of everyone standing here.
Tring!
[You try to be with your lord. Your growth rate increases by 10%.]
[You are inspired by the appearance of your master. Your potential increases by 10%.]
[You look at your master’s back. On the battlefield with your master, you perform at your best.]
“…!”
Two of the well-known conditions for the growth buff possessed by Apostle Han Do-yoon.
to be under his command. follow him wholeheartedly.
At this moment, Enoch regained the position of Commander-in-Chief of the Confederacy that he held 100 years earlier. All of the coalition was incorporated under his command.
Also, is there anyone on the continent who does not respect the great warrior’s prestige? Everyone in this place was the same.
Perhaps all the allies on the continent are seeing the same message as them.
It appeared in front of the eyes of many people who couldn’t escape the shock even after hearing the remarks, and made them face the unbelievable reality.
The Lion King on his knees, bleeding from all his holes.
As he saw the message appearing in front of his eyes, he groaned in horror.
“ah…”
One of the generals slowly stretched out a trembling hand, as if trying to touch a letter in the air. Someone sat on the floor in tears.
“really…”
The Lion King muttered in a hoarse voice, turning his head to the mighty One.
“Hero… sir…”
Warrior (勇士, Războinic).
It was the moment when the word that originally referred to only one person, no, the word that was just someone’s name finally returned to its owner.
He reigned as the only nightmare in the history of the continent.
He left a great epic of mythology, not a history book.
His name became the etymology of ‘courage’.
He was the strongest man.
He subdued the Demon King.
he saved the world
And he stood here again. He appeared in front of those who praised him.
The symbol of bravery, he roughly drew his sword and ordered.
Sreung-!
“All troops, escort me.”
Even in the face of destruction, his unbreakable will colored his black eyes with a brilliant golden light.
“I fight the demon king.”
Union Salvation.
It was the second coming of the great warrior, Enoch Războinic.
