Chapter 144 – God Of The Game (10)’
The Demon Kings were...
Chosen by the Demon God. Each one was endowed with authority from beings who were both the end and the beginning of demonic power.
Survival of the fittest.
In the Demon Realm, the weak could only be devoured.
These were those who had survived such a place.
They had not only survived but also conquered part of it.
Hence, they were kings of demons.
Dangerous, insidious, powerful. They were bizarre beings that could not be described with such words.
Transcendents.
Those who surpassed their limits and even defied the laws of the stars.
Even they could not handle a Demon King alone.
In the Demon Realm, the demons transcended the laws and became Transcendents.
These Transcendents obtained reverential authority.
The Insect Dragon King gained the power of storage.
He could literally store infinite power.
He could not wield it all, but he was a mage. He could handle it best.
As time went by, the most dangerous Demon King was said to be the Insect Dragon King.
Yet he was killed by a human’s hand.
Upon hearing this, all the Demon Kings laughed.
As a transcendent, he obtained a power higher than other transcendents.
Even if ten ordinary transcendents attacked, a Demon King should be able to win.
‘Truly foolish.’
‘He’ laughed at the Insect Dragon King.
It was understandable.
It was said to be just one transcendent.
Yet, he died twice against that transcendent.
Even this time, he was quite well-prepared.
And still, he died.
‘To grant infinite power to such a fool.’
The Demon God was a great being.
But even such a being sometimes did incomprehensible things.
He scorned the Insect Dragon King.
Failures could happen.
However, as a Demon King, dying twice after receiving His power was a disgrace to the Demon King.
Moreover, didn’t he possess powers related to pure force, not deceit like himself?
‘To be defeated twice by a human, despite that.’
Truly, it was absurd.
They were to go to the place designated by the Demon God and create chaos, which was their mission.
Through that, they received the Demon God’s power.
Along with the power to command the Demon clan, they gained the strength to handle ten transcendents alone.
And yet, they died at the hands of humans?
To just one transcendent?
That was a disgrace.
Not just once. He died twice.
His soul was annihilated.
He brought disgrace to the Demon God.
Thus, he despised the Insect Dragon King.
Anyway.
He decided to initiate his plan.
The one who wounded him.
He intended to use that person to cause chaos among countless beings.
If this plan succeeded, it could create innumerable damages and chaos.
However.
‘What on earth is this?’
He was a bit confused now.
This dungeon was not an ordinary dungeon.
Originally, it would be classified as an S-rank dungeon of a forgotten god by human standards.
It was a dungeon created by modifying that god with demonic power.
Heroes, by nature, were weak to things like games.
It was not that they didn’t play games.
Their inherently high physical abilities allowed them to enjoy games, but.
‘Conversely, it means their game understanding is low.’
So, he made it into a game.
It was not even a game that existed here.
Therefore, he was confident.
He believed that this place could never be passed.
And indeed, it was so.
Most of the people here were unable to surpass the minimum score.
The minimum score required to escape from here was 100,000 points.
However, to aim higher, an enormous amount of points was needed.
Because it was a dungeon created by the power of his authority, ‘Deception’.
However, should he say.
There was a slight risk.
If an unbelievable entity passed through the deception he created, he made it so that it would ‘definitely’ happen.
But he was confident.
First and second place.
That being should have surely died.
The Heavenly Demon, audaciously called the Lord of Demons.
The trap was set to kill that existence. It was a slight amusement. A transcendent being, yet a monster that dared to oppose the Demon King.
However, if caught in the trap he laid, it was a monster that could be easily mocked.
So he decided to kill.
But the woman did not get caught.
A man did.
He, the Heaven-Surrendering Martial Emperor, the king of martial arts that shatters the sky, destroyed everything he created.
The woman who dared to oppose the Demon King.
Things that could kill it.
The man who destroyed all of those.
The ashen flame.
‘Heaven-Surrendering Godly Technique.’
Han Seojin.
The one who defied destiny.
His brain worked furiously.
Clap!
He clapped his hands reflexively.
Clap clap clap clap clap!
“Haha! Hahahaha! It was you, it was you!!”
“Judging by your expression, it seems you’re glad too.”
“Of course, it’s a pleasure to meet you! I remember you, who shattered all the trials I prepared for that damned woman and scarred my body and soul. Unfortunately, I was a bit disappointed when you died at the hands of humans afterward.”
The man moved.
‘A bit regrettable.’
Regrettable.
A being that could be called his archenemy.
That was why he must be easily killed here.
But he could not be kept alive.
That man must be killed.
If he becomes that terrifyingly strong existence again, even for a moment.
‘He will definitely rise higher.’
The Heaven-Surrendering Martial Emperor must not be created again.
The wounds inflicted by him have not yet healed.
However, dealing with one transcendent is easy enough.
Because he is a demon king.
However, with the ‘restraint’ in place, he could not use much power.
But that’s more than enough...
“You.”
Han Seojin’s face appeared. Right in front. With a crooked smile, mocking him.
And a fist wrapped in ashen flames.
It was so close.
“Still not healed?”
Crunch.
The ashen flames swallowed the man.
He made the first move with the Heaven-Surrendering Godly Technique.
But the sensation wasn’t quite satisfying.
It didn’t really matter.
That being was originally like that.
It enveloped its body with a law that couldn’t be killed in one blow. That’s why even the Heaven-Surrendering Martial Emperor struggled.
‘Originally.’
It had to be done gradually.
Because it was the one who nearly killed the Heaven-Surrendering Martial Emperor.
Not just any Heaven-Surrendering Martial Emperor.
It was the one who tried to defeat me at my peak, in perfect condition.
More precisely, it tried to kill the Heavenly Demon, and I intervened, causing me to get hurt.
“Sigh...”
He breathed.
Simultaneously, he took out the Wind God’s Spear.
[The Wind God (S) dwells within you.]
[The unique trait, Eternity, grants you eternal power.]
I charged at him.
He, they, began to move.
That was one, yet not alone. Multiple beings.
‘The wound from that time hasn’t healed.’
It seemed they had secured spare lives as well.
I used the Wind God’s Spear to stab him. He reacted sluggishly.
A spear swift enough to evade.
He couldn’t completely avoid it, allowing the attack.
‘It doesn’t seem like they’ve gathered much.’
Wind God’s Steps.
I charged forward faster than anyone.
“Such.”
“Don’t mimic that tone.”
“What do you mean?”
“One of my disciples is like you.”
Flare.
The flame ignited.
The flame settled in the heart gathered at the fingertips, forming a sphere.
[The unique trait, Eternity, dwells within you.]
[The unique trait, Eternal Sun·Extreme (S++), reveals its hostility towards the enemy.]
A small sun appeared in the middle of the cave.
