"Are you the one... That summoned me?"
The harsh and evil voice of the demon lord echoed as he looked directly at Ha Joon.
'The demon lord of vanity... Barbatos. So this is him?'
Ha Joon couldn't help but grin, his lips parting as he got ready to give a decent response.
_Strrr_
Three wizards appeared beside the demon lord, their heads bowed low.
"Demon lord Barbatos, it's an honour to have you here." They voiced out at the same time.
"We summoned you."
"Yes we did."
"Summon..."
"We did the summoning."
They spoke yet again.
Barbatos moved his gaze from Ha Joon, and looked at the wizards around him.
"Ah, you three were the ones that summoned me?"
"Yes, we only d-"
_sleech~!_
Suddendly the head of one of the wizards came rolling to the ground, along with a huge cut on the ground after Barbados had moved his hand in a slashing manner.
The body of the wizard dropped to the ground.
Blood spreading on the ground.
"Oh?" Ha Joon was surprised.
Did the summoned demon lord really just kill one of his own?
The remaining two wizards around Barbatos remained low. They wouldn't dare raise their heads when one of their own just died.
But it was expected.
"Are you stupid or something? I ... The demon lord of Vanity appeared in your city' and you didn't think to gather your forces to stop me, instead you come to confront me, alone, did the world miss its evolution?"
'He was able to determine I was the king of Camelot? Hnm~...' Ha Joon smiled, acknowledging the power of the demon.
He raised his hand up, "I guess you can say that, either way, I'm sending you back to where you came from".
Barbatos frowned, "So you wish to fight me then. I knew it. You're a dumb one. I had hoped to murder up the women and children as a celebration for my arrival, but I would seem I should feast on you first."
Ha Joon massaged his arms. This wasn't like any fight he had been into.
He didn't have the upper hand of using (Knowledge of the gods.)
Neither did he have any knowledge on the abilities the demon lord possessed.
All he had, was the faith in himself.
The demon lord didn't seem to happy about the fact a human dared to challenge him.
He had expected the entire place to be in panic in ruins upon his summon. Instead the whole place was empty with only a single human before him. Even the barrier around the place was present.
"You amaze me human. I would like to see how long that can last."
Barbatos's energy blast surged towards Ha Joon with deadly speed, but the calmness on Ha Joon's face remained unshaken.
Just as the blast was about to strike, the air around them rippled, and Ha Joon's voice echoed softly, but with authority:
"Reality Marble: Domain of Void."
The atmosphere itself shifted.
The ground beneath them seemed to dissolve as an invisible force surrounded both Ha Joon and Barbatos.
The red energy attack that had been racing toward Ha Joon simply disappeared—swallowed into the surrounding void as if it never existed.
Barbatos's expression changed slightly, a mix of intrigue and frustration.
"What is this?" he demanded, his deep voice echoing unnaturally in the vast emptiness that now surrounded them.
The familiar landscape of Telver city vanished, replaced by a pocket dimension of pure nothingness—an endless expanse of white and grey. There was no horizon, no light source, yet everything was illuminated.
Ha Joon stood casually in the center, his hands at his sides, as if the shift in reality didn't bother him in the slightest.
"You like it?" he asked with a smirk. "This is my domain, the 'Void of Limitless Paths.' In here, the concept of space and time are... negotiable."
Barbatos growled, his eyes narrowing, not used to being outmaneuvered so easily. "A clever trick, but you underestimate me if you think this will save you." The demon lord's fingers flexed, and dark tendrils of mana began to snake from his body, swirling around him. "Your little 'marble' won't hold me for long."
