Side Story 47

Crack!

The earth where Vritra's head had crashed cracked.

The Bull Demon King didn't stop just because he had subdued him once.

Boom!

Bang!

The iron club struck Vritra's head again and again.

The Bull Demon King seemed eager to crush Vritra's head immediately, swinging his club relentlessly.

Crack!

Bang!

Splash!

At that moment, Vritra opened his mouth wide and exhaled fire.

Fwooosh!

The scorching fire erupted from his mouth, melting the ground.

The Bull Demon King and Son OhGong leaped high into the air, and the Administrators also hurried to get out of the fire's reach.

Whoosh, whoosh!

The valley turned into a sea of flames in an instant.

The rocks and cliffs of the valley melted and turned into lava.

Vritra, who had exhaled fire, roared with his half-broken horns.

-Uuuuuuuuuuuah!

Kyaaaaaaaa!

Vritra's roar echoed in the valley.

The flames spouting from the ground swirled violently, and amid the deafening noise, Ananta still hadn't opened his eyes.

Son OhGong and the Bull Demon King, riding on the Flying Nimbus. The two, who had dodged the fire, descended and landed on the ground that had turned into lava.

"It's hot."

"Hyung-nim, are you hot? I'm fine."

"Are you bragging that you have Golden Cinder Eyes?"

The Bull Demon King clicked his tongue in annoyance and shook his head.

"Take care of that guy."

"Eh? But I want to fight against that Nantan or something."

"Stop talking in slang and grow up, kid."

"Hey!"

Son OhGong scratched his head in disgust. He had wanted to fight Ananta, but ended up fighting Vritra again, with whom he had already fought once.

However, he couldn't complain anymore.

His opponent was his Hyung-nim, the Bull Demon King, and his order was reasonable.

"No choice. I guess no one else but you can be that guy's nemesis."

The Bull Demon King patted Son OhGong on the shoulder to console him.

Despite his disgusted expression, Son OhGong didn't refute the Bull Demon King's words.

However, he was only concerned about one thing.

"How much has that guy's seal been undone?"

"I'm not sure. I haven't checked, so I don't know for sure."

"Be careful, Hyung-nim."

"Don't worry."

Clang!

The Bull Demon King slung the Mixed Iron Rod over his shoulder and looked at the two Administrators.

"Two, huh..."

His first battle against the Administrators. He had to hurry before Ananta's seal behind them broke.

"It doesn't seem like there's time for warm-up."

The Bull Demon King's eyes turned red.

It was time to become the King of Great Power for a while.

---------------

Boom!

The Mixed Iron Rod struck the thick stone wall in front of him.

Crash.

The solid stone wall shattered in an instant.

Immediately, the Bull Demon King's hand, which had lunged without hesitation, dug into the ground.

Crack!

Kyaaa!

An agonizing howl echoed from the underground.

-Shud Myuel!

The zombie-like giant-eyed Administrator, Ithaqua, shouted his companion's name as he ran towards him.

Crack.

The Bull Demon King raised his arm as he dug into the ground.

In his hand, he held a brown rock shaped like a long worm.

Boom!

Crack!

-...!

The rock-bodied Administrator, Shud Myuel, groaned in pain and crashed to the ground again after being hit by the Mixed Iron Rod.

"I'm talking about the way you slaughtered millions of humans as a Yokai."

Pierce~!

A sharp pain shot through the Bull Demon King's head.

A memory he had been suppressing for a long time.

"I guess you can forget it if you live like this. If you live a good life, like a human, it's possible."

"Your venomous tongue remains the same."

Suppressing his anger, the Bull Demon King looked at Ananta with even fiercer eyes.

"It seems I'll have to kill you quickly."

"Do you know that?"

"I don't feel like listening to you anymore."

"Look carefully behind you."

"Behind?"

Was it a trick, or was it real?

That was his fleeting doubt. And in the moment that doubt lingered.

Brrriii~

The sound of music resonated from somewhere.

And a strange aroma reached his nostrils.

Dizziness.

The Bull Demon King's mind wavered at that precise moment.

Puff!

Smoke rose throughout the valley.

It didn't come from Vritra's flames.

That aroma and sound were not new to him.

"Gandharva... right?"

The Bull Demon King forcefully opened his eyes, enveloping his dizzy head. It seemed like he would lose his mind if he lost focus even a little.

Immediately, the Bull Demon King looked back, following Ananta's advice.

A man with gray hair that reached his legs limped closer with long, slender legs like those of a girl.

He approached the Bull Demon King while playing a flute with a pure, white face and greeted him.

"It's been a long time, Demon King."

"...Yes."

Gandharva.

The one handling the fragrance and sound was some kind of monster that wasn't an Administrator or a Player.

However, he had a human-like appearance. Except for the lack of focus in his eyes, he didn't look different from a young boy.

However, the Bull Demon King knew.

The horrible form that his true form had.

"Were you spying?"

He thought it was natural that he hadn't been involved in the fight for so long.

But his essence was mist.

In the first place, the monster named Gandharva could appear anywhere.

"I wasn't spying; I was waiting for the opportune moment."

"The opportune moment... you say?"

What moment was he referring to?

The Bull Demon King's eyes widened when he arrived at that thought.

'Won't it be?'

And then, he realized there were two more.

The Administrators who had moved to break Ananta's seal.

Cuckoo, cuckoo-cuckoo.

The trees that were pierced into Ananta's heart began to be uprooted.

The power of the spell weakened.

The spell the Bull Demon King had cast long ago had already been opened by the Administrators.

"...We arrived a little late."

Judging by the way his comrades were being pushed, it seemed they could have helped, but the other two administrators hadn't moved an inch from Ananta until now.

Their goal was only one.

The Monster King, sealed in the Vishnu Tree.

A being with a thousand Dragon heads, laughing at the world from the top of Dragons and Monsters.

Ananta.

Their sole objective was to release this being from its seal.

Kyaaaaah-!

A deafening roar and an oppression threatening to burst his heart.

And so, at the moment Ananta was freed from the seal, an identical message appeared for all Tower Players.

[The Monster King 'Ananta' has been released from the seal.]

[The statistics of all Tower Monsters will increase exponentially.]

[Ananta is currently in an unstable state.]

[Eliminate Ananta.]
