Chapter 143

143 . Alliance





“Whew……”

Due to my attacks continuing to rain down on him, he was torn apart .

He didn’t take any damage from my physical attacks, but now he could not stand against my magical attacks .

He did not resist in the slightest, taking the full brunt of the attacks .

Eventually, letting out a moan of pain, he sank to his knees .

His body bled nonstop .

Receiving such a fierce attack, it wouldn’t have surprised me to find that his entire body had evaporated .

Enduring all this was enough for me to praise him .

I landed the finishing blow on his body that was hanging on to life by a thread .

Praying that he would not rise again, I attacked .

A massive mountain of ice rose up from the ground, completely encasing him .

The Eye of Insight that marked him with a red dot no longer did so .

This meant that he had perished .

I did not leave this spot, but instead surveyed the surroundings .

Belkoseu had the title of Immortal Knight .

I believed that I could get rid of him using the skills that humans used, but I had a bad feeling about it still .

I had the suspicion that he would rise again once more, despite having perished .

A minute passed .

My expectations were that Jamon and Ladin had taken notice of this fight .

Despite still in the process of growing stronger, they probably couldn’t ignore the amount of magical energy BElkoseu carried .

And there was no doubt in my mind that I was under their close surveillance .

If I did not engage in combat and stood still, my exact position wouldn’t have been given away, but the situation wasn’t ideal in this case .

It wouldn’t take that long before the two of them were upon us .

‘Since he hasn’t risen again, I guess it’s surely over?’

I was relieved, but also regretful .

If he obtained a massive amount of magical energy, I wouldn’t be able to stop him no matter what I tried .

It was the right decision to shut down any chances of him growing stronger .

With his broken remains of a corpse behind me, I began to walk .

Uninvited guests were coming, after all .

However, the moment that I took a single step away, it happened .

“Hm?”

I could hear the sound of liquids bubbling .

It made sickening plopping sounds as if in a swamp .

Naturally, I turned around, praying that he wouldn’t revive .

However, the result wasn’t good .





What I hoped wouldn’t happen had occurred .

There’s a saying that an intuition expecting a sad event is never wrong .

The pile of shredded meat that was the remains of his former body began to slowly gather, regaining its form .

“I guess I was wrong… . . ”

“……”

The red dot from the Eye of Insight came back .

As his form recovered further, the mark became clearer .

This moment was evidence that I was completely wrong .

Belkoseu could not die from any attacks .

He was a lifeform that really was immortal .

Was there not a method to silence him forever?

I was planning on using him to help take down the Demon King and Ladin .

It was the same with my plans of obtaining loot .

This alliance would let me easily obtain loot without having to go all over the place .

However, experiencing his revival with my own eyes, I couldn’t help but rethink my plans .

What would happen if he became strong as, if not, stronger than the demon king?

I did speak with our informant of the demonic realm, Karin, about this before .

I asked him if there really wasn’t a way to defeat BElkoseu .

Even under specific hard to reach conditions, was there really not a single way to take him down?

The answer to that was none .

After recovering fully, a smug smile adorned his face as he rotated his shoulders and cracked his neck .

Looking at him, I thought to myself .

‘I cannot give up on the loot . Just for a little while… . We’ll keep this dangerous alliance for a bit . ’

Drawing magical energy into his hands, he began to create his armor once more .

I had thought that his armor was made from processing bloodstones, but it seemed that he made it using his own magical energy .

Finishing repairs, he spoke to me .

“Whew… . I wasn’t wrong about you . ”

“……”

“Since you had taken down Berdan, I expected you to be amazing, but to think that you were this strong . I cannot stop being flabbergasted at your strength . ”

“Same here . I thought that you would never rise again from my attacks . ”

“Kuhuhu . Did I not tell you so…… My power is Undying Authority . So now that we got that out of the way, are we finalizing this alliance?”

“There is one thing that bothers me, but we’ll go through with it . ”

“What is it?”

“I’ll explain this as simply as I can . I can kill you . ”

“That’s right . ”

“However, if you become stronger through me, then you can imagine the implications . ”





“… . . ”

“When you reach that point in strength, you break our alliance and make Earth your target, I will be helpless before your might . ”

“Kuhuhu…… It’s obvious that you don’t trust me . However, that won’t happen . Where are you going with this?”

“…… . ”

“Are you perhaps asking me to divulge a method to eliminate me?”

“Oho? That would be great . However, I don’t think that you would divulge such information that would put you at such a disadvantage?”

“Kuhahat! You’re rather sharp . If you’re curious, I’ll tell you . There is no way . Well, there might be, but do you think I’d know such a way? I merely use my unique Authority to my advantage . I was created by the gods, but I doubt that they would let me walk the same path as them…… What is this safety mechanism that you wish for?”

“Guarantee? There’s no such thing . Just know this . Do not think of betraying me . And our alliance lasts only until Jamon is defeated . ”

“Good . Then we’ll be competing to take the Demon King’s life . ”

“For now, we change locations . ”

“Pfft . Jamon . He’s running as fast as he can . Alright . ”

“Then…… . ”

****

“Keruu… . . Jong Ho . ”

“Hm?”

“What time did Min-Cheol say he’d be back? Is it not time yet?”

“How many times are you going to ask me . Over an hour at the least . ”


“Kehel… . Wouldn’t be a good idea to try detecting Min-Cheol’s magical energy?”

“Hm… . Your ability isn’t something that you can constantly use . Be patient for a bit longer . He’ll be here soon . ”

“Kehmuru……”

“Instead of worrying about that, focus on the magical energies near you if you want to avoid getting done in like the last time . ”

“I got it . Kel?”

“What is it? Who is coming?”

“Min-Cheol is coming! Kerururu… Keheck?”

“Why? Why are you being so surprised that Min-Cheol is coming?”

“Keh… . . Be… . Bel… . Belkoseu!”

“What do you mean? Are you saying that Min-Cheol and Belkoseu are coming together?”

“Keck! Kurk! Kurk!”

Karin began to hiccup due to being so nervous .

Jong Ho could only look at him with worry filling his eyes .

A few moments later… .

“I think they’re here?”

“Kuhuck! Kurk!”

“Shit… . What is that… . . ”

I saw Min-Cheol walking towards us from far away .

However, he wasn’t alone .





Next to him was a man in black armor and cape walking alongside him .

Jong Ho immediately called for Karin .

“Karin . Are you sure that the person next to him is Belkoseu?”

“Kurk! That’s right . Kurk!”

“Just what is he thinking… . . ?”

Without any concern towards how surprised Jong Ho and Karin was, Min-Cheol walked up to the Immortal Knight Belkoseu without a care in the world .

Jong Ho followed his instincts and prepared to fight .

Monsters were akin to dolls for humans in terms of trust .

However, the aura Belkoseu carried felt bad enough for him to be on edge .

Min-Cheol spoke up .

“Did I keep you waiting for long? Thankfully it ended earlier than I thought . ”

“……”

“What’s wrong?”

“Kurk! Mi… Min-Cheol . Next to you……”

“Ah, Belkoseu? He’ll be accompanying us for awhile . ”

“What? Do you know how crazy you sound right now?”

“Kuhu . You also carry a lot of magical energies…”

“… . . ”

“There’s no need to be on guard . I have agreed to an alliance with him . It won’t be a long one though . ”

“Wait a moment . Min-Cheol, let us talk for a bit . ”

“Alright . ”

“Keheck! Kurk! Family! Me too . Let me in too . Take me with you . ”

“Kuhuuu… . . ”

“There’s no need to be scared . It’s going to be okay, Karin . ”

“Keheck!”

Leaving the trembling Karin behind, Jong Ho and I gathered at a place far away from Belkoseu .

Perhaps Jong Ho couldn’t believe what he was witnessing, because he asked me with a flabbergasted look on his face .

“How did it come to this?”

“As I said, we’ve formed an alliance . ”

“Cast Silent . ”

“…… . ”

A thin barrier formed to surround Min-Cheol and Jong Ho .

Silent, a skill that prevented sound from traveling outside, was casted .

Even though we were far away from Belkoseu, Jong Ho couldn’t hide his anxiety .

“Are you insane?”

“…… . ”

“Just what reason do you have for making an alliance with that monster… . . ”

“I couldn’t kill him . ”

“What?”

“I couldn’t defeat him with Awakened skills . ”

“This just gets better… . ”

“That’s why I thought we might as well make an alliance . ”

“You should’ve just left him be! You should’ve just ran away at that point!”

“Hyungnim . At this rate, we don’t know when we can take down the demon king and return home . What Karin said about the endeavor taking over a hundred years as a joke might come to fruition . And even if we run away right now, the situation won’t change . We can slow down his growth, but we can’t stop it . It’s a problem that we’ll have to deal with at some point in order to gain complete dominion over the demonic realm . ”

“Whew… . What did he want? Let’s hear it . ”

“You can already guess . It’s magical energies . ”

“What can we obtain from this?”

“Artifacts and jewels . ”

“Min-Cheol . You need to think this through . That guy doesn’t die . We can’t kill him no matter what we do . But you’re going to help him grow stronger? To take down Jamon and Ladin? While we try to catch a cat, we can get bitten by a tiger!”

“I also thought that as well . ”

“……”

“Hyung-nim . Did I already tell you that I’m sure of this?”

“You also said that your belief that he won’t revive was wrong . ”

“……”

“Min-Cheol . I believe in you . I don’t think that you made the wrong decision . ”

“……”

“You must have thought this through several times . But this, I cannot understand . Are you sure that I can trust in you?”

“There must be a way to defeat him . Until we find out how, let’s use him to our convenience . ”

“Are you sure?”

“Yes . There definitely is . And I don’t plan to let him grow strong as the Demon King . ”

“Of course . ”

“It’ll be brief . Until then, we need to get as much as artifacts and jewels out of him . ”

Jong Ho looked into Min-Cheol’s eyes for a long time .

He could not understand what Min-Cheol was thinking in the slightest .

However, since he had never let him down before, Jong Ho decided to follow him still .

Letting out a long sigh, Jong Ho spoke .

“Whew…… Alright, let’s do as you say . ”

“Thank you, hyung-nim . ”

“Tell him to immediately summon Lich Kings!”

“Pfft . I got your order . Let’s go!”

“Alright! I don’t know anymore! Whatever, let’s just do it!”
