Chapter 166

60. Horror (2)

Forridan’s journey was short.

There were only three demon spirits who served the demon king. It was partly because of his personality, who doesn’t like to move big, but there was also a practical reason.

If you’re worried, there’s nothing wrong with going as you normally would, and if there’s an enemy who’s really strong enough to risk your life, taking a few more demon spirits doesn’t really help.

Either way, it’s the same, so he’s better off just going with it.

None of his subordinates thought it was strange because he only told his subordinates to prepare for any possible battle, but never talked about Rhodiac.

“Garland, are you ready?”

“Yes.”

The magical spirit in charge of the directions, Garland, answered Poridan’s question vigorously.

Returning from meeting Rhodiac this time, he was grasping the coordinates of the dimensional rift at the end of the world. He can guide the party there any time he wants. He didn’t have to go through Rhodiac or Del Wright.

… Until then, Forridan knew only that.

“Then let’s go.”

“I’ll see you.”

Garland, who arrived at the space movement area, raised his magical power.

At the same time, the magical power surrounding the four of them opened the door to a distant space. The darkness of the void quickly colored the surroundings black and then shattered.

Pot!

The scenery I was looking at changed completely. They had been near the royal castle until a few seconds ago, and they were in a completely new place.

“for a bit.”

Before Poriden and the other demons could even understand their surroundings, the brief Garland that they spit out disappeared one by one. His attitude of throwing him out as if he were running away even touched Foridan’s heart.

“… this guy.”

No matter how urgent it is, it is common sense to report to the master and go, but the guy who was in charge of the road guide did the right thing for him to disappear instead of guiding him.

I guess I’ve loosened up too much these days. When he came back, he thought that he should give him something to eat after a long time and looked around.

The place that Garland was guided to was an interior surrounded by walls and ceilings.

The style of the building was familiar to the eye. It was very similar to the inside of the teleport gate installed at every major point in Dreadville.

Originally, there was no reason to be strange that the place where they had moved through space was the teleport gate itself, but it wasn’t that there was no question at all.

Obviously, I told you to guide me to the dimensional rift at the end of the world, but did you already have a decent building like this built there? It wasn’t something I couldn’t understand if it was to be used as a base for advancing to the Earth or something else… … .

Even in the midst of feeling somewhat suspicious, Foridden’s senses were naturally expanding. The feeling of being cut off for a while in the process of moving through space is recovering its original scope.

Of course, he was faster than his men.

For that reason, Poriden was the first to notice the sense of incongruity that he felt.

“… her?”

A dissonance was caught in the sense that it had already stretched out beyond the inside of the building and beyond the walls to the outside. Forridan’s eyes narrowed.

“Why?”

Instead of answering the subordinate’s question, Foridden stretched out his index finger and pointed to the ceiling. Naturally, the eyes of his subordinates turned upward to see what was there.

But Forridan wasn’t beckoning to look at the ceiling. The energy from his fingertips struck the ceiling silently.

saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

The power of the Demon King turned the ceiling into powder. Then, a gentle breeze swept away the stone dust with a slight sound as if dust was fluttering in the wind.

“Haw!”The demons, who saw the clear sky, let out a sigh.

Dozens of shadows floating in the sky look down at them with indifferent eyes. Each and every one of them was either a demon directly under Rhodiac or a remote demon. Among them, Garland, who had disappeared earlier, was also secretly intertwined.

The atmosphere was very strange, but how can we get past that? The problem is the existence that is located in the center of the demons scattered everywhere.

A little smaller than the demons, the first creatures they saw were floating in the air and staring at them. It was as if he had commanded demons on behalf of Rhodiac.

Forriden looked at Cha Shin Hyeon with a cold glance. He was having a snowball fight as if searching for an opponent, and then he hit the floor.

Shoo!

The demon king’s body quickly rose vertically. Dozens of demons took no action as if they had been instructed in advance.

No, it’s just that you can’t see it on the outside, but you’ve been taking action since a while ago. Because there was already a wide range of space movement obstructions within a range of several kilometers within clear reach. That’s the minimum range.

If such a number was mobilized, it would not be possible to make a hole by killing a few demons by surprise. It would be okay to think that escape using space movement is impossible.

Poriden, who had come to the same height as Cha Shin Hyeon, secretly grasped the point, opened his mouth.

“Who are you, you?”

“A human from another dimension.”

Although he doubted whether he could still call himself human, Cha Shin Hyeon deliberately introduced himself that way.

don’t forget He had crossed the dimension to find a way to not become a god. Confronting the Demon King is only in the process.

“Across the dimension?”

Well, Poriden had no idea of ​​such a delicate effort. He frowned at the modifier in front of him rather than a race he didn’t even know was human.

“Is the invader from another world talking about you?”

“Hey, did you have any informants?”

“I don’t know.”

“I’m not really curious. It seems like I didn’t tell you properly anyway.”

Cha Shin Hyeon grinned.

“And being an aggressor is ridiculous. I think he’d be more like an avenger or a punisher.”

“what?”

“It was the Delite who broke in first and killed millions of civilians. If it wasn’t for such an unfortunate incident, we might have lived without contact with each other forever.”

When Dellight was mentioned, Foridden’s voice subsided.

“Does that mean you already have a connection with Delite?”

“So you know the name.”

“result… No, I have nothing to ask. If you had lost, he wouldn’t have appeared here alive. If so, was it you who harmed Rhodiac?”

“As you can see.”

Cha Shin Hyeon answered, lightly spreading his arms left and right. It meant to look at the demons scattered all around him. It is a gesture of what it would mean if there was no Rhodiac and only the men of Rhodiac.

That’s why Poridan didn’t even understand.

Although the habit of demons is to obey the strong, it is the same as not going under the true dragon just because the dragon has killed the demon king. Even if Cha Shin Hyeon was a powerful person who defeated the Demon King, I couldn’t understand why the demons were following Cha Shin Hyeon like that.

Forridan’s gaze turned slightly to the side. Cha Shin Hyeon and Garland, who was floating not too far away, made eye contact.

But somehow, when he was his subordinate, he automatically rolled his eyes and acted like a tongue in his mouth, but now he is looking at him stiffly. Although he seemed a bit terrified.

“Haha, this is true.”

With an absurd smirk, Foridden said.

“From the time you reported that you had met Rhodiac, you were already betrayed. Garland, what did you think that betrayed me?”

“I have only met the true master.”

Garland replied with a strong voice. A deep smirk appeared on Forridan’s lips.

“A real lord? What do you see of a non-demon person? Did I promise you even a movie of wealth? More than what you enjoyed under me?”

“I am not foolish enough to fall for such a thing. I was just influenced by the master.”

“You shouldn’t call it Inspiration.”

After a brief conversation, Foridden was convinced.

Demons never think that way. I don’t know if it’s a dragon blood that I hate to see.

“You touched my heart. So that you do not recognize the fact itself without knowing it, or even if you know it. It’s almost impossible even with spiritual magic… No, it wasn’t magic, so I guess I didn’t notice.”

After muttering, Foriden looked at Cha Shin Hyeon again.

“But your powers don’t seem to reach even the Demon King. Rhodiac’s men were indoctrinated, but Rhodiac himself didn’t get it.”

“Well, is it really? Maybe it was because I didn’t have to show all my power to deal with you alone, right?”

“It’s not convincing at all to carry around with demons. It would have been the right choice from a tactical point of view to neatly accompany one demon lord. Thanks to you, it’s good for me.”

“Okay, how about this?”

Cha Shin Hyeon asked the question as if it was interesting. Forridan rolled up the tip of his lips.

“It’s fine. It means I only have to deal with you.”

Before he could finish what he was saying, the new form of the Demon King disappeared.

Poridan, who had narrowed the distance at an invisible speed, clenched his fists at the speed of a riot.

Not too late, Cha Shin Hyeon also faced the regime. His hand, protected by his aerodynamic power, and his hand, wrapped in yoke, collided authentically.

Damn it!

A shock wave shook the space with a loud noise. As if they had been told in advance, the demons who were nearby quickly retreated and made space for the two Absolutes to clash.

Cha Shin Hyeon’s eyebrows twitched at the creepy cold sensation in her left hand.

His left arm was frozen white up to his elbow in the bitter cold of magical energy. Ignoring the work force that strictly protects the body, it covered it and froze it.

Forridan’s attack, of course, was not a single shot. Immediately after, his feet flew out aiming at his side.

Cha Shin Hyeon’s right hand moved to defend. The blade of his hand slammed the opponent’s shin with all his might, blocking his path.

Wow!

The sound of breaking ice was heard again. This time, the chill that penetrated through his right hand freezes the bones.

All of a sudden, Poriden, who had his posture right, was reaching out his intestines. Cha Shin Hyeon defended his attack by crossing his arms.

👌👌👌👌👌👌

With a heavy sound, Cha Shin Hyeon’s body was pushed back. The yo power that broke through the defense smashed the body and inflicted damage. Ice cubes can be seen all over the upper body.

“Sheesh.”

Cha Shin Hyeon kicked his tongue and pulled the aerodynamics back to the max. A blazing self-defense that enveloped his body forcibly evaporated all foreign substances that had covered his skin.

His body was freed and he quickly opened the space to ah. Cha Shin Hyeon, who drew a sword shining in a mysterious red color, narrowed the distance in an instant.

Shh!

The sound of a blade cutting through the wind is terrifying. The sound sounds like a single shot, but it’s even scarier when the sword strikes fly from eight directions at the same time. Not being able to disregard this alone, Foridden hastily took an evasive action.

When the attack barely missed, Poriden immediately counterattacked. A storm of cold first devoured Cha Shin Hyeon’s front face.

car window! Step by step!

Countless bundles of swords poured out and cut through the storm. Cold and black energy collide and freeze and break repeatedly. The ice crystals embroidered in the air gleamed beautifully in the sunlight.

But a storm is originally a wind that spins round and round. The front of Cha Shin Hyeon was the first to be attacked, but eventually it covered all directions and targeted the person trapped inside.

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhh!The sword leaves a red trail and moves more and more busily. Due to the structure of the human body, the arm would not be able to bend back, but somehow the red sword shield made of a single sword formed a perfect sphere and perfectly protected all directions.

And along the path the sword passes, the sword is fired like lightning. The whip of the aggression, which has at least a much stronger power than a bunch of swords, tore the surrounding space to shreds.

However, considering Cha Shin Hyeon’s attack, which was usually vigorously swung, he seemed somewhat overwhelmed today. Is Foridan’s attack that strong?

Still, the blade that had been repulsing the waves of cold air fired a surprise blast at some point. The enormous power condensed in the small marble aimed at Poriden’s heart.

The timing was good, but the Demon King is the Demon King. The magical energy released at the right moment became several layers of shields, blocking Kang-hwan’s path.

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

There was an explosion, but a lot of power was killed. Poriden, who hid behind the shield of magic power, was not even scratched.

“This is the one.”

Cha Shin Hyeon smiled bitterly.

“It’s more difficult than I thought.”

Through the information he had heard from the demons, he was grasping the abilities of Forriden. Cha Shin Hyeon knew that he was dealing with a force with a cold nature, as if he was at the opposite end of the flame-like Rhodiac.

However, there was still a big difference between knowing only the fragmentary phenomena that were visible to the eye and the information obtained by fighting directly. This is because the Demon Spirit has never directly fought the Demon King and lacks eyes to see.

The fact that Cha Shin Hyeon’s arm is frozen is not simply because it is cold. Forriden’s magical power itself was solidified in the form of ice and stuck to it.

If the fear of madness had a special ability to burn the opponent’s energy itself, this cold cold had a special ability to freeze the opponent’s energy and make it shrink, preventing smooth flow.

It takes twice as much force as usual as I have to forcefully push it away with the power of aerodynamics. It was the ability to cause energy consumption in a different direction from Rhodiac.

“It is definitely at the level of the Demon King. I have the capacity to subdue demons and serve as subordinates.”

Cha Shin Hyeon, who seemed to acknowledge Cha Shin Hyeon, changed her words as if it wasn’t for Poriden.

“There is only one. With this skill, Delite could barely win, but it would have been difficult to beat Rhodiac, right? Even if I had been lucky enough to win, I wouldn’t have been fine.”

“Are you stronger than Rhodiac?”

“It will be a little stronger.”

“Then, as you said, shouldn’t you have defeated me earlier? There doesn’t seem to be any effective hit for something like that.”

Cha Shin Hyeon’s attack didn’t hit Poridan yet, but it doesn’t mean that he’s really accomplished anything. Although they hit a few hits, Cha Shin Hyeon was not damaged by the cold attack that was expected to have the greatest effect.

“It is. Because it was an exploration game.”

Forridan grinned.

“So from now on, I’m going to do it right.”

Even though he said this, it didn’t mean that Foridden was really full of spare time and didn’t use his power.

Cha Shin Hyeon didn’t feel very intimidating, but even considering him, it would be difficult if dozens of demons attacked at once. It was true that the situation was bad.

It just means that the demon lord fights sincerely means that he activates the demon lord’s spirit, but in exchange for becoming stronger, you can’t use a double-edged sword from the start, so I just looked at the liver. Well, if Cha Shin Hyeon had rushed in with the demon spirits as a group from the beginning, he would have fought with the demon spirit immediately.

Assess your opponent’s skills and tactics through search battles, and if you have gathered enough information, do your best to hit the ground running.

It was the best tactic that Foridden could do under the current circumstances.

“I’m looking forward to it. How great it will be.”

Cha Shin Hyeon said in a slightly sarcastic tone.

“By the way, they weren’t the ugly demon lords who couldn’t use Delite, Rhodiac, or Demon Lord Spirits.”

“What do you mean?”

“It means that the demon kings did their best and lost.”

There was a smirk on Cha Shin Hyeon’s lips.

“I didn’t do it right either.”

Today he hasn’t used his premarital power yet.
