Chapter 60. Self-proclaimed Demon King (1)

I started to get a hunch.

It was when the Demon Corps Leader appeared.

Demon Corps Leader? Whats wrong with them?

They definitely have something in common.

Something in common?

Sung Hyun-joon pondered, then slammed his desk.

Ah! Theyre as unpleasant as pigeons!

Whoa, thats it. Its my fault for asking.

Oh why, what are they, then.

Theyre all birds.

Theyre birds, huh? I see.

Frost was a gathering of rankers from around the world.

Among them, Ho-yeol was showing an overwhelming performance.

Maybe it was because they were drunk.

He thought nothing of their appearance and overlooked them.

Yoon Soo-gyeom clucked his tongue at Sung Hyun-joon, who realized this in hindsight.

The demons got their concept from legends and tales.

Yes, they certainly did.

Among them, there are demons related to birds.

Yoon Soo-gyeom, who was speaking seriously, turned the monitor.

Sung Hyun-joon opened his mouth cautiously.

Decarabian?

Yes, Decarabian.

One of the 72 demons that use birds as minions?!

Sungs eyes widened.

Senior. Is this a bird boss!!

No, not yet.

If that was all, I wouldnt even be 99.9 percent sure.

Click.

Yoon immediately switched screens with his mouse.

A satellite image of Frost appeared on the monitor.

Sung Hyun-joon scratched his head.

Whats with the satellite image, senior?

Take a look.

We checked this together the first time. We couldnt see anything because the smoke was rising like a thick cloud. Whats this. What?!

A clear view of the frost.

Yoon Soo-gyeom said as if he was surprised.

The moment the Demon Corps leaders blew the smoke away with their wings.

Wow. You captured that, senior?

Yep. Gotta pay the bills. Im tired of this salary lupine shit.

Wait, senior.

Sung Hyun-joon, who was looking in, muttered in confusion.

A red pattern was clearly visible.

It was a star drawn with blood and corpses.

It was Oh Mangseong.

Its , surely?!

Click.

Sung Hyun-joon moved the mouse instead of Yoon Soo-gyeom.

He switched the window and the image of Decarabia reappeared.

Yoon Sugyeom nodded.

I see. Its a demon in the form of a five-pointed star.

and .

He looked at the two screens and then opened his mouth.

I can confirm this one hundred percent, senior.

That star pattern, drawn with blood and corpses?

Yes. It must be the procedure of a demon summoning ritual.

In that sense, Im glad.

?

Here.

Where Yoon pointed with his mouse cursor.

I zoomed in, and strangely enough.

There were no corpses strewn about the area.

Had the demons made a mistake?

No, it wasnt that.

Sung Hyun-joon opened his mouth in disbelief.

Wait a minute. This way, toward .

Thats right. It fits with Lee Ho-yeols entry route.

In that situation, you went forward while collecting the bodies?!

We wont know until we know his intentions, but thats probably it.

With that speculation, I could see why so many monsters had gathered around Ho Yeols side.

Ho Yeol was directly interfering with the demon summoning ritual.

Yun Shugye nodded.

We might be able to help him this time.

If we know the identity of the Demon King.

We could prepare for him.

In that sense, information about Decarabia was important.

Ill look it up right away!

Im sure I have it saved somewhere.

After opening the search bar and searching through the files, Sung Hyun-joon spoke up.

Senior, I found it.

But.

This was not a good sign.

No, more accurately, it was a bad match.

What? Knowledge of all plants and minerals?

Minerals?

In the past and in the present.

Wasnt this Ho-yeol who used to use alchemy skills that utilized stones?

Damn it.

I promised myself Id pass along some helpful information.

The best I could find was.

What a pitiful piece of information.

Sung Hyun-joon finally spoke up.

It must be quite resistant to earth elemental magic.

Considering its a bird, the concept should be valid.

But hes still Lee Ho-yeol, right? He has a lot of other skills!

Thats true, but one of his main skills has been rendered useless.

Yoon Soo-gyeom muttered in a low voice.

As if that wasnt enough, the opponent is a demon king.

I couldnt help but be concerned.

No matter how good he was.

To have one of their main skills become useless.

It was a huge penalty.

But worry and action were two different things.

Sung Hyun-joon took a deep breath and opened the messenger.

Wow. Should I forward this to the Gaon side, senior?

Thats a good idea. Theyre just joining up with Lee Ho-yeol.

Please. I hope you have some tricks up your sleeve.

Harkon opened his mouth.

Count Sirion? Is that you!

No way, are you Lord Harkon! No way!

Oh, my God.

Count Sirion.

Thinking about it soberly, he had to wonder.

He was among those corpses.

How could he be alive and alone?

But Count Sirion had tears in his eyes.

Your Majesty, the Empire has not turned its back on us!

That was enough to convince the onlookers of their doubts.

The face and voice, too.

It was the same Count Sirion they knew.

But I knew.

[Demon Slayer].

That the class quest was far from over.

Natural Enemy: Increases your combat power by leaps and bounds when fighting Demons.

In addition, the effects of [Natural Enemy].

From the moment I stepped into the Frost until now.

It hasnt disappeared for a single moment.

Most importantly.

I had experience.

Enough to fool everyone around me and the world.

A succubus who played the role of the perfect backstory.

The experience of facing the demon.

Yes, that was the question Id been asking myself since I realized it.

It was only a few years ago that I realized.

Its only been a few years.

Demons were already a natural part of reality.

If so.

In Arcana, the home of the demons.

how many demons are hiding among the humans?

Naturally, I couldnt answer that.

When does that mean enemy arcana matter?

Only if I kept playing Arcana.

I had a gap of more than a decade.

But one thing was certain.

That was not Count Sirion, Lord of Frost.

At the same time, the quest window flashed.

Defeat Demon King Decarabia. (In progress)

I declared in a cold voice.

Its so ugly that its hard to see.

!!!

So much for the acting. Demon.

It was contempt.

You claim to be the king of an inferior race. You send your subjects out on a limb. Shouldnt you be ashamed of yourself for hiding among men?

As an exalted noble.

The despicable deeds of a demon are beyond reproach.

My declaration stunned my companions.

A king of an inferior race, my lord, what is that?

Even Harkon took a step back as he approached Sirion.

But the panic was not long in coming.

Decarabia, he was about to show his true colors.

You have foolishly misunderstood, human.

Cuddle.

Sirions body transformed in an instant.

It was no longer Sirion.

Sirions body began to crumple without ejaculation.

The creature spoke to me.

This is not a limb. A noble sacrifice for the king.

I quickly recognized the words.

The crumpled mass.

The lump began to suck up blood and corpses.

I commend you. Your interruption was significant, but

By interruption, I mean recovering the body.

Just as I was thinking about it, demons flew in from all directions.

More precisely, they mingled with the sacrifice and were sucked into the mass.

Sacrifices dont always have to be human.

Decarabia, it absorbed the demon army as a living sacrifice to make up for the lack of human sacrifices. At the same time, the growing mass began to take shape.

A five-pointed star held together by blood and flesh.

As soon as the stars dried up, the sky was covered in darkness.

The demon, Decarabia

He had been fully resurrected.

[The Demon King, Decarabia, appears].

[You have entered the living hell, Frost].

Well, so be it.

But I was unmoved.

I opened my mouth as always.

Do not let true sacrifice be profaned.

Sacrifice.

For pride.

To protect the Frost.

A word reserved for those who have given their lives.

You dont deserve it.

Maybe its because Im getting more and more immersed in the Grandfell.

If not, its because I really think so too.

For this moment, my mouth was silent.

The flesh on his face quivered.

I look forward to the moment when your arrogance is brought to its knees. I can already see your magic. I am deeply sorry to say. For even rocks are but minerals. Your greatest talent is sealed away.

What?

My greatest talent?

I must be mistaken about something.

Grandfells talent is beyond me, even I cant measure it.

I checked my status nonchalantly.

I have plenty of magic left.

I also have enough suitable magic as required by black magic.

I hadnt wasted any of my stamina for sword energy.

There was no hesitation.

[The Haunted Master Sword was chosen as the sacrifice].

[Skill, Ritual of the Demon is activated].

[Invite Demon, Ritual].

Shut that ugly mouth of yours.

?!!

Self-proclaimed Demon King.

Hmph!
