Chapter 781

Chapter 781

Great Demon Gorac was an eccentric character. What he wanted was to have a successor that would surpass and go beyond Great Demon Verus. Because of that, the hurdles that one had to face in order to take over his mantle were terribly and brutally painful.

“Haa... haa... haa... haa...”

Elpis’ voice was like grating metal, as he stood there among the corpses of the hundreds of thousands of demonic beasts that he had slain, while trying to catch his breath.

‘The Trial of the Undying Warrior.’

It was a challenge where the warrior would not die. However, the Undying One could not rest until he had killed the hundreds of thousands of demonic beasts that would appear to surround him. The challenger had to continue to fight and surpass the limits of his strength and stamina. It was basically torture.

Once the muscles in the body were overloaded, pain would start to bloom in one’s body. However, Elpis ignored the pain tearing through his entire body, only focusing on cutting down all of the demonic beast around him. After doing all of that, he laughed.

“...Why are you laughing and smiling?”

Great Demon Gorac looked at Elpis in confusion. Elpis was smiling so brightly despite his ragged breathing.

‘Is he happy because he thinks he’s gone beyond the final gate and will finally become my successor?’

Gorac knew that it was unlikely.

“Now...” a watery smile hung at the corners of Elpis’ mouth. “I can now protect His Majesty.”

“...”

Great Demon Gorac was left speechless. Was that his only reason? Maybe that was all it was, but Gorac felt his heart shake.

‘I have no regrets.’

Even so, Gorac still did not regret choosing Elpis as his successor. In fact, he even thought that he had made the right choice.

“I want to go and see His Majesty as soon as possible.”

Hearing his words, Gorac pulled out a crystal ball that showed the scene in front of the Beyond the Heavens Kingdom where the kings were shouting loudly. As Gorac liked fun and interesting things, he suggested something with a grin.

“Don’t you think that we should make the birth of the new Great Demon be a splendid affair?”

“I just want to see His Majesty quickly...”

“I’ll give around 500,000 of the Demonic Beast Army. And also my Blazing Red Carriage.”

“No. I’m just... His Majesty...”

“Ho? What do you think about this horned helmet?”

“...”

Gorac was very excited about how his successor would make his appearance to the world. Elpis could not help but tilt his head in confusion after seeing Gorac become more excited than him. However, Gorac was aware of something.

‘The humans will only believe what they see.’

This was both a small lesson and a reward for Elpis. Gorac knew what the 500,000 Demonic Beast Army and Elpis’ splendid and showy appearance represented.

Gorac grabbed Elpis by the chin and said, “With your eyes looking down on others, say this in your toughest voice, ‘Do. You. Want. To. Die?’”

“...”

Elpis was left speechless.

***

[The name of the newly awakened Great Demon is...]

[...none other than ‘Elpis.’]

A huge ripple spread out, affecting everyone present. The kings who were dripping in cold sweat and were trying to find a way to escape, the troops who had fainted and were foaming in the mouth, and the viewers, who were watching this scene from all over the world.

[Something unbelievable is happening right in front of us.]

[Elpis. The Beyond the Heavens’ Shield Elpis has come back as a Great Demon.]

[Elpis is the person that is hailed as the Beyond the Heavens’ Shield. Recently, his standing has been greatly reduced due to Spear God Ben, God of Snakes Elizabeth, Brod and many others.]

[Right now, he is standing in front of Minhyuk and is pledging his eternal allegiance and loyalty once again.]RêAd lateSt chapters at novelhall.com Only

[The biggest takeaway here is that Elpis is the Great Demon that inherited Gorac’s position. And he is the only one that can help others convert their race to ‘Demon.’]

[I can’t even imagine the impact and influence that this will bring going forward.]

“We’re very grateful to you!!!”

“Uwaaaaaaaaaah!”

“This is the place where we will live from now on, right?”

“I wonder if we’ll be able to live well in this place?”

“Is that even important? Just becoming the subject of His Majesty Minhyuk is worthy of celebration, no?”

“...!”

“...!”

“...!”

As it turned out, the more than 200,000 people who appeared were the residents of Happy Island. They were about to establish their new homes in the Beyond the Heavens Kingdom and would be of tremendous help to the growth and development of the kingdom.

‘N, no. How the hell were they able to get this many migrants?’

‘How can this be...’

An ordinary kingdom would usually have only around thirty migrants per day. This was because most people would not want to leave the places where they had lived. But 200,000 people at one go?

Meanwhile, the residents of Happy Island were quick-witted. They had already grasped the situation. Knight Commander Korro turned to look at Evelyn and, with his loudest voice, said, “Evelyn!!! How about paying back His Majesty Minhyuk’s grace by using your special power?!”

Of course, Evelyn answered back in a jolly manner, “Aha! Are you talking about my power that will allow those who will eat the dishes that I made grow faster permanently?”

She looked around and continued loudly, as if she wanted them to clearly hear her words, “But I will only use my S. P. E. C. I. A. L. ability for the people of Beyond. The. Heavens. If they aren’t residents of Beyond the Heavens, then I will absolutely. Not. Serve them!”

“...!”

“...!”

“...!”

The kings and the viewers that heard those words were left stunned.

[Did she just say what I think she said?]

[Basically, what that NPC said is that she can permanently increase one’s EXP Acquisition Rate permanently with her dishes.]

[Unbelievable. I can’t believe that an NPC with such a unique ability exists.]

[Even if there’s only a 2%~5% increase in EXP Acquisition Rate, there will definitely be many people that will come to see her.]

[However, the most important thing to note in what she said is the fact that she will only serve her dishes to the residents of the Beyond the Heavens Kingdom.]

“...”

“...”

The kings’ brains rolled for a brief moment. Then, King Fernon rushed to join King Roath and shouted, “Congratulations! Congratulations!!! You will definitely become the ruler of an empire! I have believed it for a very long time!!!”

Then, another king rushed forward. “I can allow your 200,000 new residents to stay in Arvatto Kingdom temporarily until they have fully settled in your kingdom!”

“Hahahahaha! I have believed in you for a very long time?!”

“Isn’t it the same for King Roath? Of course, I think the same. Hahahahaha!!!”

“Ha, hahahahahahahahaha!”

The soldiers could only laugh awkwardly when they heard their kings laugh like that.

Then, Minhyuk looked at the kings and the soldiers with a small smile on his face. He said, “Kings of the Asgan Continent.”

“Please feel free to speak your mind.”

“How long are you going to let us wait outside like this? Huh? Please treat us to a cup of tea.”

“I also want to try the food that you make.”

“I’ll only say this once, so you all better listen carefully.”

All of the kings perked their ears up and listened carefully. It went without saying that the rest of the world was equally curious. Minhyuk, with a faint smile on his face, opened his mouth and said, “Everyone...”

The kings gulped dryly as the cameras from all over the world zoomed in on Minhyuk’s face. The smile on Minhyuk’s face grew wide as he finished his words, “...you’re all m*therf*ckers.”
