Chapter 381

Episode 381. The Demon King (2)

Ten Seats (十座).

A high-ranking demon lord is an existence that cannot be judged.

It has the ability to influence one’s worldview. I don’t know if it’s natural or if it’s from the throne they sit on. That strength is not a lie.

That’s why I, Lee Ho-yeol, had no choice but to humiliate myself.

What am I not in a position to cover?

You may not know Grandfel, but Lee Ho-yeol should not cover anything.

I did not forget that original intention and found a place to struggle.

Whether it was a skill, an item, a nasty trick, an elementary-level science, magic, whatever. Only when I use them all will I be able to withstand the weight of the burden I am carrying.

But life is also not easy.

decathlon.

I hoped to have special powers unrelated to demons.

Was it just a vague wind?

I looked at the emerging message.

[A unique atmosphere dominates the area.]

[Current atmosphere: Devil King Lee Ho-yeol of the Ten Thrones]

[Caution: Akkshan is watching you.]

Let’s skip the [Inherent atmosphere] brought about by [Charm] for a moment.

what’s important now

It means that our Akkshan seniors are keeping an eye on me.

‘It feels like the back of my head is getting stung.’

One line message.

However, the meaning contained is never light.

I haven’t forgotten

The reason why some Akkshan seniors fell into Hell.

It was the Akkshan seniors of hell who looked into demons to hunt demons, eventually fell into demons, were hunted by their colleagues, and fell into hell.

‘There’s no excuse.’

In that sense.

I was no different from them.

no, it would be much more serious.

Why is it not just a demon, but a demon lord?

It’s no different from becoming a high-level demon lord.

I thought I could understand why Akshan seniors were keeping an eye on this junior.

But I didn’t stop.

It was because he was sure.

Even if it is the power of a high-ranking demon lord.

The one who won’t be swayed by that evil.

The source of this confidence is, of course, Grandfel.

I opened my mouth.

“Your guess is correct.”

Mary nodded softly.

“This is the power of the Demon King.”

in a very high place.

It’s like looking at a far higher being.

Mary with a truly bewildered expression.

It was a familiar expression to me. The reaction of the people of the Seorn continent who faced Baal’s forearm was exactly that. But like I said, no worries, Mary.

The silence is unmatched.

heart rate.

Even on the inside.

Even on the body.

There was no change whatsoever for me.

『The first thing Grandfel learned as the next head of household was not to worry about personal matters.』

Even if it was the power of a high-level demon king.

Is it because they consider Grandfel to be private?

I don’t know the exact reason, but one thing is for sure.

『The position of head of the Cloudy family was a position where even the slightest disturbance was not tolerated.』

Now I was no different from usual.

‘So...’

If it’s a demon, especially if it’s a high-ranking demon king, even our Akkshan seniors, who would have rushed at it like crazy, must be just watching me. It doesn’t matter if it’s underestimated or overestimated.

『Proof for underestimation. Because the overestimation ended up being a reality.”

That’s right.

Because now I was thinking of digesting even the power of the higher level demon king as my own. Otherwise, from the challengers aiming at me, who is at the bottom of the ranking. In the ranking battle with the top demon lord. Because I won’t be able to survive in the demon realm that I walked into with my own feet.

I recited as if I was determined.

“So you can do your best.”

nod

soo oh

Mary’s purple light gushed out more violently.

I am also a transcendental person who can enter the social arena of time and space.

Thanks to that, Mary knew how much the cigarette she was wearing was worth.

‘Maybe the cheapest one was 100 gold per pack?’

I had never witnessed Mary’s powers.

But I can assure you that Mary will be stronger than any wizard I’ve ever seen. Even Topju’s cat couldn’t form a circle.

‘Compared to that, I am.’

Total amount of absolute horsepower?

“...How do you get this magical power?”

water and oil.

They do not mix with each other, so there is no impact of collision.

But as water lays down and oil floats up.

In my magical power and the magical power of twilight, there was an order that could not be countered.

Mary murmured.

“More pure magic than the magic of twilight...?”

A descendant of the pure-blooded magic clan of Twilight.

The twilight magic and mana that they only use was the original magic itself. However, it was clear that the magic power I emitted now was superior to that twilight magic power in the hierarchy.

I chanted calmly.

“Because they are different.”

It’s obvious, but I didn’t mean to be proud.

It was only thanks to the fact that he had risen in rank by taking the tenth seat.

I swallow my appetite anew.

‘...Really like Lee Ho-yeol.’

This time, too, it was a desperate struggle.

But I didn’t overlook it.

Why is the demon king called the demon king?

Because he is the king of demons, he is called the Demon King.

If my mental strength had been shaken even a little...

‘I would have been taken by the seniors of hell by now.’

However, Grandfell’s mental head was with me.

Because the devil is an unacceptable entity to Grandfel.

no matter how great

Borrowing the power of a high-ranking demon lord is something that cannot be found in the dictionary of Grand Fel.

Because I believed in Grandfell’s shit stubbornness.

I was successful in cutting it out.

evil.

Thanks to you, I got it in my hands.

‘By the way, I use the same Ma character in magic.’

The throne of pure demons.

soo oh

I looked at the magical energy that shimmered in my body. I experienced the efficiency of magic that was different from the class. I realized. Now you really have grown to a level where you can’t really give excuses for your magical powers, Hoyeol-ah.

“There is no room for response.”

Mary opened her mouth.

I nodded.

Mary was right.

The magic of twilight has completely stopped flowing. Since I couldn’t move, it meant that I couldn’t reach the manifestation process. We were just exchanging sums. Mary seemed to have realized that fact.

‘I lived.’

When I took a deep breath, I began to see the scenery around me.

To be precise, I began to read the ‘atmosphere’ around me.

To be clear, this was definitely something to be proud of.

‘Because I succeeded in cutting out and using the evil from the power of the high-ranking demon king.’

In a word, it means that he succeeded in sucking only the sweet water.

However, the atmosphere was unusual.

When I looked around...

there were not enough trees.

Even the bushes of the earth bow their heads toward me.

By analogy.

‘Aren’t you really looking at me like some kind of demon lord?!’

At that point I realized.

[Inherent atmosphere].

Was this the effect of the stat [Charm]?

To put it simply, it was directing ability.

It’s a unique atmosphere that comes from charm.

I was really making others see me as a demon lord.

I looked at Rust, the red jewel on the jacket of the dawn.

‘Such an unpleasant effect...!’

Even if you don’t, it’s burdensome enough to use the Granfell style of speech that sets the mood unnecessarily.

‘I’m very afraid.’

What kind of synergy of speech and atmosphere will result.

It was the moment I swallowed my saliva.

A sudden sound is heard.

dump.

When I moved my gaze, Mary knelt.

He knelt in front of me and bowed his head.

Then he speaks in a trembling voice.

“Mary, the Witch of the South Sea.”

I knew it would be like this...

“Meet the true demon king.”

No, that’s not the demon king...!

Even if you look like a demon lord because of the atmosphere, here is the proof.

Isn’t there evidence that the natural enemy acknowledged that too?

[Akkshan removes his suspicions from you.]

So you’re not that kind of demon lord?!
