172 What? (1)

From the appearance of Lucifer's clans to the Devil's Church, Valoc.

The events in South America, which seemed to have happened quite a lot, were over.

Demon churches that confirmed Balok's defeat ran away in a hurry, and the monsters returned to their original state.

The United States military evacuated the indigenous peoples and began building a recovery base in Venezuela, at least in a managed area.

The rainy group left the task to the U.S. Army and Grace to return to Korea.

On the way back, there was little talk of rain and others.

There was also blame for Balok, the five-metre monster right next to him, but the biggest cause of the atmosphere that was different from before was the past that rainfall revealed itself.

No matter how much he believed the words of the rains, it was hard to treat him like never before.

'Does it feel like I've heard my best friend is a felony in the past?'

Considering that I became a demon to survive alone in hell, it would be a little different.

'People who ate human flesh to survive in the uninhabited, it must feel like this.'

Maybe you're a more appropriate metaphor.

I understand the circumstances of the rains themselves, but the notion in my head makes it difficult to accept them easily.

'Well, time will fix it.'

Although not everything has been solved over time, at least in this case, I felt that it would be solved naturally over time.

What they needed was time to organize their thoughts, not to believe in rainfall, but to accept demons as companions.

'Anyway, things have gotten better.'

I was just right to say "phone uniform."

Even if Baloch had hidden his identity until he got under 10,000 feet, how could he have done this? He wrapped his head, but the result was very successful.

Beyond merely investigating the situation, it made future actions more comfortable.

'First of all, it's the most convenient thing to use Vallock.'

If he had to keep hiding the fact that he was a demon, it would have been hard to use Valoc as an ally.

Even if you use it, it's self-evident that you had to use it by forcing all kinds of shows like when you used Balzahark.

Even if you could comfortably turn Balok into an ally, the reward for this gamble was enough.

'Even if it seems small, it's not small.'

The power of Valoc is equal to that of the entire Guardians.

Later, Kim Shi Hoon had the possibility to go beyond him, but now he's an agent.

No, I put everything else aside. I could define the value of the dovalog as one sentence.

'Balok can deal with the Duke.'

You will not win the Grand Duke.

No matter how much Baloch is praised for having great power, when compared to the actual Grand Duke, it actually falls apart.

However, if rainfall was added to it, it could rise to a level that could be rubbed to some extent.

There was a big difference between being able to use such balocks without paying attention to others.

'Balzahark may be a little hard.'

Balzahark is already too deeply imbued with the image of Satan's Suffering.

After using Balzahark openly, there was a risk that the real man who killed Raynald would drive himself.

'That's never gonna happen.'

The reason rainfall can now be recognized as a warrior of light was because of Satan's presence.

If it turns out that Satan and himself are the same, he is doomed.

The warrior of light is a wreck and the whole of humanity will take out their weapons against him.

In terms of rainfall, we wanted a peaceful and flat life.

[I'm sorry, Lord. Stop ignoring the situation of the main army..]

"No, I couldn't help it because I had no way of knowing."

A building located near a rainy apartment.

I couldn't bring Balok home with a five-metre turtle, so I bought a building and renovated it to keep Balok safe.

Rain was sitting inside a spacious building with a three-floor high ceiling.

Balok shakes his head on one knee.

[I never expected the Demon King to carry out a deceptive operation against humans.]

"What deception?"

[Huh? It was not for the warriors of light to hit the back of humans?]

"Don't bullshit me, man."

The rain shakes his head with a deep sigh.

What nonsense to oneself that somehow moves desperately to protect the Earth.

Rain explained his goals and the situation to Balok now.

[The Duke is resurrected...? Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no! How can a great man like the Demon King protect such a weak man?! You must punish them all and keep the world under your feet!]

"I'm not interested."

I spoke in a loud voice.

"You fought long enough to get tired. I want to rest now."

[Khh...]]

"Well, you don't understand because you're a demon."

There is no concept of peace and stability for demons.

Because they are a species living eternal life, such thinking is fundamentally made 'impossible'.

'If you don't, the numbers will grow infinitely.'

The demons breed again, and give birth to offspring.

Even among demons, it was not uncommon for an individual to be aphrodisiac.

If they had been a race that wished for peace and stability, hell would have been infested with hundreds and hundreds of billions of demons.

'Angels may be, but demons kill each other and keep their populations.'

I don't really know who they are, but I thought they made them meticulous.

Of course, very few of the demons wanted peace, but most of them enjoyed fighting and trampled on their opponents.

And Baloch was a demon belonging to the 'majority'.

"You don't mean to disobey my will, do you?"

[Absolutely.]

Balok bows deeply.

Instinctively, he yearns for destruction and domination.

But it is precisely above that instinct that his master, the Order of Rain, commands.

For him, it was Balok who could cut off his life without hesitation.

[If the Demon King wishes for peace and well-being, I will kill all enemies and dare not let anyone disturb the Demon King's rest.]

"Ah... well, yes. Anyway, I'm done explaining my situation, so let me ask you a few questions."

[Speak.]

"What happened to hell while I was gone?"

I wasn't worried about the forces I left there.

'Ancient Spirits.'

An anomaly I heard from Doomguard.

News that ancient monsters that never existed outside a certain area are expanding.

I thought it would be better to listen to the anomaly as long as the demons started summoning the demons of both heaven and hell.

[But I was going to tell you about it.]

Balok's expression was distorted.

[Apparently, Amon is making something up.]

"Amon?"

I frowned.

Amon.

It was the name of a demon who was originally in Satan's camp and then fled to his forces.

A demon whose physical combat abilities were quite low, but whose magical knowledge was very superior.

It was the Amon who helped open the dimensional crack that led to Earth using the Hellfire.

"What exactly does it mean to be making things up?"

The rains opened their eyes thin.

A dense, zealous life blossomed from him.

I trembled. He lifts his head and looks at the snow of the rain.

His eyes are still black pupils on white.

Balok swept his chest and spoke.

[I don't know exactly. I don't have any evidence, but... since the Demon King went to Earth, he's been obsessed with research and hasn't come out at all.]

"That's always been the case."

[But this time, it's a bit harsh. I haven't seen his face since the Devil went to Earth. The door was blocked by a massive shield, even if you tried to pull the door in.]

"You blocked the door?"

I opened my eyes thinly.

It was definitely strange.

'In the first place, he was not very trustworthy.'

The reason for accepting Amon as a subordinate was that only Amon who mastered dark magic using Magi could create a crack using Hell Gear.

"... Did he betray you?"

[Not sure. However, it is true that the strange behavior of the ancient monsters began since his conception. Even the behemoth movement was captured.]

"Behemoth moved?"

Behemoth.

Father of Leviathan, one of the seven great aerials and famous for being the most powerful of the ancient monsters.

'Leviathan must have been a mixture of ancient demons and demons.'

The existence of Behemoth is little known except that it is the father of Leviathan.

During the ten thousand years of the rains in hell, he never showed a single movement.

"Damn it."

I had an ominous feeling.

What is more unpleasant than an ominous feeling is that we cannot take any action now in terms of rainfall.

'I can't go back to hell.'

You can't summon them and kill them.

But it was even more impossible for him to go back to Hell himself.

'No, I don't want to go back, Shiva.'

I did all kinds of work to get back to Earth.

I didn't want to go back to hell.

"What about the other kids? Looks like Doomguard was investigating this, too."

[Doomguard and Argus are investigating, but we have not been able to determine the exact cause.]

"Shit."

After returning to Earth, I didn't expect a situation to arise that would concern me with the affairs of the Old Hell.

'If I had known this, I would have killed Amon.'

Thoughts that don't even make sense to you.

Of course, when I returned to Earth, I thought there would be no eternal connection with Hell. I had never thought of the Devil Gate.

'There's only one way to grow power right now.'

I opened my eyes thinly.

In fact, there's no way to deal with it other than that.

'In the end, I couldn't even get a 130-state shot this time.'

The frustration was that this did not eventually reach the 130-state.

The summoning of Balok has failed spectacularly, so it is quite annoying in a situation where it is clear that the Devil will buy himself for a while.

'I have no choice but to wait for Lucifer's forces to attack the Devil Church.'

All I can think about right now is waiting for Lucifer's forces on the Ernore continent to come to Earth and raid.

"Haah."

A deep sigh came out.

My head hurts.

It's not going to get any more complicated here, is it? '

It was already likely that the head would only exceed the capacity.

[More than that, Monk.]

"Huh?"

Baloch nods.

[Where is Reese?]

"What are you talking about? Reese must be in hell."

I shake my head with a tiring expression that tells me not to talk about it.

Yes?

Balok nods, as if he were saying something.

[Reese came to Earth before me, but...]

"What?"

Two eyes of rain appeared.

"What did you say, Val X?"

He's already on Earth?
