Chapter 498.7 – Side Story 8 Part 2Heavenly Demonic Sword (2)

“Kueuuuu.”

The hole in the chest of the being who had been pierced by the sword energy and flung back hundreds of jang quickly regenerated.

Tatatata!

The being who had crossed through the gate was thrown into confusion.

He was the King of Demons.

From being instantly reduced to this state by a mere human, not even worth an insect, to those arrogant words just now, everything was extremely irritating.

[“I told you not to take an interest in this place.”]

As soon as he heard that arrogant tone, he immediately thought of someone.

However, the Demon King strongly denied this, shaking his head.

‘It can’t be.’

That person was of the demon clan from the roots.

But this one was clearly human.

Eudeuk!

The Demon King, with his chest wound fully healed, spread both hands.

Chachachachachacha!

Black spaces opened around him, and from them, black iron pieces shot out and attached to his entire body.

These attached black iron pieces soon formed into armor.

Having judged from that previous strike that his opponent was an enemy he absolutely couldn’t underestimate, he had donned armor.

‘I may have been caught off guard before, but now it won’t work…’

Wuung!

At that moment, space rippled right below him, and someone’s fist shot out.

The Demon King’s chin was thrust upward.

Kwang! Wudeudeudeuk!

Puk!

The Demon King, hit in the chin, flew upward spinning.

Even in his dazed state, as bright light flashed in the Demon King’s eyes, a large black hand appeared in mid-air, blocking him from being flung back like a wall.

Wuung!

‘He’s coming.’

Sensing the vibration of space,

The Demon King nimbly tilted his head to the side.

At that moment, a large hole was punched through the giant black hand that had been supporting him.

“Too slow.”

“What?”

Tteok!

“Keuhek!”

Although he had dodged well, the handsome human, no, the Heavenly Demon who had suddenly appeared in front of the Demon King, kicked up his chin.

But it didn’t end there.

In that state, the Heavenly Demon’s form split into dozens, consecutively brushing past the Demon King.

Chwachwachwachwachwachwa!

Almost like doppelgangers, this was the epitome of swiftness.

Every time the Heavenly Demon brushed past, the trajectory of his sword belatedly drew a line.

Each sword technique traced by the trajectory skillfully cut through the gaps where there was no armor, inflicting wounds.

“Keuk! You bastard!”

The Demon King tried to counterattack while enduring the pain, but

As the Heavenly Demon pulled back his formless sword and then thrust it forward, the Demon King’s head flew off.

Kwajik!

The merciless strike seemed to deliver the final blow to the Demon King.

However, something strange happened.

The Demon King’s neck area twitched, and then,

Pusuk!

His head shot out along with a sticky liquid.

It was regeneration beyond imagination.

The Heavenly Demon clicked his tongue at the incredible regenerative power that could regrow even a completely destroyed head.

‘Still the same.’

He had always been a being with exceptional regenerative abilities even among the demon clan.

For such a being to have fully embodied all his demonic power, it wasn’t strange for his regeneration to have evolved to this extent.

On the other hand,

‘Damn it!’

The Demon King, whose consciousness had been completely obliterated for a moment when his head was destroyed, was dumbfounded. If not for his extraordinary regenerative power, it wouldn’t have been strange if he had died instantly. This power was simply unbelievable for a human.

Jjiritjjirit!

But then, sharp sword energy pierced through the gaps in his armor into his entire body, rendering him immobile.

Moreover, that sword energy was aimed at the core located in the center of his chest.

“You’ll regret it if you move.”

The Demon King, glaring at the Heavenly Demon who was issuing this warning, opened his mouth.

“…Who exactly are you?”

He was the Demon King.

There was no way an ordinary human could push him this far.

Then, the Heavenly Demon spoke in a low, majestic voice.

“I am the brilliant flame that guides everything into darkness.”

Kung! Kung! Kung! Kung! Kung!

The moment he heard those words, the Demon King’s core began to beat frantically.

He had thought it might be…

“Impossible!”

[“What are you trying to do?”]

[“In the end, only that insect-like human woman matters to you.”]

[“She’s not everything, but it’s not like you think…”]

[“Enough. I understand well how you think of our clan. If you like that place so much, then rot there for the rest of your life.”]

[“Taura!”]

[“Oh, I forgot. Come to think of it, how did they know about your woman?”]

[“You… don’t tell me…”]

[“Huhuhu. They will come looking for you. Try to survive while running away desperately. If you can survive in that state, that is.”]

With his own hands, he had thrown him into the gate.

He thought that even if he was alive, his core would be shattered, leaving him barely clinging to life.

But what is this appearance?

“Why… why are you alive in such a form?”

To this question, the Heavenly Demon casually replied with his arms crossed.

“In a way, I’m grateful. Taura.”

Words implying affirmation.

So he really had become human?

At these words, Taura, the current Demon King, trembled, seemingly shocked.

“How on earth?”

“I simply chose.”

“Chose? Becoming such a worthless mortal is…”

“Why do you think these worthless mortals resemble our clan so closely? Have you never wondered about that?”

“What?”

At these words, Demon King Taura was at a loss for words.

Once, when he first came to the human realm, he too had such thoughts.

Unlike other places, the beings in this human realm particularly resembled them.

Although their internal structures were different, it was amazing that their external appearances were so similar.

“It’s only natural. Because the roots of our clan originated from this place.”

“What do you mean?”

“Long ago, there was a time when the human realm was on the brink of destruction, and at that time, our clan opened a gate and settled in the demon realm.”

Hearing this story for the first time, Demon King Taura became confused.

He was born in the demon realm and was of the 4th generation in the clan, but as far as he knew, this person was almost like the 1st generation.

He was like a living chart of generations for the clan.

“Gravity several times that of the human realm. Thin air, an environment teeming with numerous dangerous entities – to adapt to this, our clan underwent repeated evolution.”

Living beings evolve in some way to fit their environment.

They evolved physically to survive in the harsh demon realm.

“Huh? Are you saying we originated from such inferior humans?”

“Inferior? They have simply evolved to the optimal state for this place.”

At these words from the Heavenly Demon, Demon King Taura sneered as if in disbelief.

“So you’re saying you’ve evolved to fit this environment?”

The Heavenly Demon didn’t deny it.

At this, Demon King Taura raised his voice with a flushed face.

“Stop talking nonsense! You call that evolution? What you’ve done is regression. Becoming a lowly mortal who can’t even live a hundred years is evolution? Ha!”

Killing intent surged in Taura’s eyes, boiling with anger.

Although he had betrayed and pulled him down out of ambition, disappointment, and hatred, the being before him was once the king of the clan whom he had respected all his life.

Such a king had become a worthless human?

The moment he realized this, only feelings of disappointment and anger remained.

“Not only did you fall for a worthless human, but you even gave up the pride of our clan. A hopeless case like you deserves to die!”

Kwadeuk! Kwadeuk! Kwadeuk!

Demon King Taura forcibly moved, ignoring the sword energy piercing his entire body.

Even as his limbs were torn off, he showed incredible willpower.

The Heavenly Demon’s gaze sharpened.

“Your obsession outweighs your duty as a king.” Sёarᴄh the novёlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

“I don’t want to hear such words from the likes of you!”

Chachachachachacha!

The armor covering Demon King Taura’s body simultaneously detached and transformed into weapons.

The weapons, which had taken the form of swords, swords, whips, wheels, and staves, emitted tremendous demonic power and simultaneously rushed towards the Heavenly Demon.

“Die-“

Papapapapapat!

“Foolish act.”

The Heavenly Demon grasped his formless sword and thrust it forward.

Even if they were divine objects imbued with the Demon King’s demonic power, when the Demon King himself was no match, there was no way these weapons alone could be a match.

The sword strike from the Heavenly Demon’s formless sword, converging into a single point of power, collided with the rushing weapons.

Kwachachachachang!

With a tremendous roar, blue light spread out, and the weapons were flung in all directions.

By chance, the Heavenly Demon caught one of the weapons that had been flung straight ahead.

Ttak!

It was a sword made of black iron.

The sword, which had been imbued with the Demon King’s demonic power, trembled its blade along with its name, wanting to escape from the Heavenly Demon’s hand.

Sssssss!

‘Have you forgotten me?’

The Heavenly Demon raised both demonic flames and demonic energy simultaneously, pushing out Taura’s demonic power that had been contained in the sword, which moved only by the Demon King’s authority and demonic power.

As Taura’s demonic power was pushed out of the sword, something amazing happened.

The black sword, which until just now had rejected the Heavenly Demon’s touch, began to resonate, emitting sword light.

“Have you recognized me now?”

The sword resonated and clung tightly to his hand.

Smiling slightly as he gazed at it, the Heavenly Demon suddenly remembered someone.

It was the being he had seen in his future vision, said to be his descendant.

Surely, this sword had been in that child’s hand.

“I’ll have to take you with me. You might be of help to that kid someday.”

“Kuaaaa! That belongs to me, this king!”

Demon King Taura, who had lost the sword with the most powerful strength among the divine objects that could be called clan treasures, roared in anger.

To this, the Heavenly Demon pointed upwards and said,

“You should return to where you came from.”

“What?”

Looking up, he could see a gate open there.

Come to think of it, the artifact he had brought to open the gate was nowhere to be seen.

“Larisha!”

Kwadeuk! Kwadeuk! Kwadeuk!

Demon King Taura, enduring even as his entire body was being cut by the sword energy, crossed his hands and raised them, trying to transform into a new form through awakening.

Watching him, the Heavenly Demon shook his head.

“Foolish to the end.”

With those words, the Heavenly Demon raised his formless sword.

Then, the sword energy that had pierced into his body went berserk on its own, tearing apart Demon King Taura’s entire body.

Chwachwachwachwachwachwa!

“Kuaaaaaaak!”

Demon King Taura, with his entire body annihilated except for the chest area containing the core and his head.

Grasping his head, the Heavenly Demon whispered in a vicious voice.

“I’m sparing you only for the sake of the clan. But this is the last warning. Don’t appear before my eyes again.”
