Chapter 213: 213
Moreover, the titles were not something that the demon kings gave themselves . It was something that Baal had given to honor those eighteen demon kings .
They were worthy of that much respect, were as powerful as their titles, and had greater armies than other demon kings .
But, a war with Enroth?
“How did you survive?”
Muyoung couldn’t help but ask .
The territory obviously had great potential . Most cities wouldn’t be able to compete with it . This was because the people were plentiful, and so many diverse species had gathered to create it .
However, it wasn’t enough to fight against Enroth . If they were to look at things objectively, it would be normal for them to have been completely destroyed .
But, looking at the territory, they had actually become more prosperous than in the past . Even though they were at war, the territory and the population had increased in size .
Not just that .
The ones who survived also had excellent skills . Most high tier monsters wouldn’t be as strong as one of them .
Although Muyoung had returned, they didn’t seem to really greet him .
The lord who disappeared for two years without a word while a war had started . Of course, it was understandable for them to be in a bad mood .
Still, they looked at him with hopeful gazes . They believed the army Muyoung brought would certainly be of help .
While shaking his head, he led Muyoung to the castle .
“I’ll fill you in on everything after we go up . ”
***
The inside of the castle was no different from how Muyoung remembered .
First, it had been kept very clean . It had not been left untouched . Because of this, Muyoung believed their faith in their lord had not bottomed out .
‘Soul Assimilation…’
Muyoung sat on the throne and looked at Baltan .
Baltan was kneeling on one knee in front of him, and his soul began to look sharp again .
It was a sign that the connection that had been broken had started to reconnect .
As a result, Baltan became a vassal again . The Guardian of the Territory . As an undead created by Muyoung, he had regained his function and authority .
Name: Baltan
Level: 445
Type: Guardian Knight
Strength 447 (427 + 20) Agility 355 (335 + 20) Stamina 498 (478 + 20)
Intelligence 320 (300 + 20) Wisdom 345 (325 + 20) Indomitable 483 (463 + 20)
+ Great understanding of swords
+ Great physical constitution for battle
+ Guardian of the Territory (Within the designated territory, all stats +20)
+ Cry of the Guardian (Within the territory, the toughness of ‘allies’ increases slightly)
+ Strengthening Potential (Become stronger when you fight to protect)
+ Resolve for Revenge
+ High Conservation Rate (High autonomous will)
As Muyoung observed him closely, the Status Viewer showed his information .
‘As expected . ’
Baltan had grown incredibly . Although Muyoung had felt it, it was different from actually looking at the stats .
If he grew this much, it was enough to consider him as powerful as a top tier monster .
There was only one condition for Baltan to grow . The condition was that he needed to fight battles to protect others .
The last two years of uninterrupted fighting had made this possible .
But even so, it was abnormally fast growth .
‘There must have been something else . ’
It was difficult to become this strong with just battles .
Without another opportunity .
“Speak . ”
Muyoung commanded .
Baltan raised his head .
“After the lord disappeared, we increased our territory . As the territory got bigger, rumors spread, numerous species joined us, and we became that much stronger . ”
Different species gathered and lived in the Demon God’s Territory!
There definitely would have been many who were waiting for such news .
Even if it was the Demon God’s Territory, there weren’t only evil monsters .
Those who believed they should pool their strength came to the territory, and the territory thrived .
“And when the territory became a certain size, something strange happened with the dungeon . ”
Dungeon . It was Murdudun’s Kingdom where the murlocs lived .
“What sort of strange thing happened?”
“The murloc’s appearance changed, and the boundaries of the dungeon disappeared . When you arrived at a certain location where the ‘sages’ gathered, you could receive training from them . ”
The sages?
Murdudun popped out as Muyoung was puzzled for a moment .
– It seems like he is talking about the ancient sages . But, they should have all died . Since they would have lost their strength after I died .
“That is true . They all had the appearance of stone statues . However, their thoughts remained . Thanks to this, the warriors of all kinds of species, as well as myself, were able to rapidly raise our fighting power . ”
The meeting with the sages became an opportunity .
– Huh, that’s really fortunate . They were truly great . Although they had run far away because of my dictatorship . If they had stayed by my side, I wouldn’t have been fooled by Dantalion’s stupid trick . Rather, Dantalion would have been defeated .
Murdudun spoke with great regret .
Dantalion was a demon god . Murdudun spoke as if it would be natural for them to win against a demon god with the sages . The sages seemed to have been that strong when they were alive .
Either way, what Muyoung wanted to ask was the next question .
“How did you become involved with Enroth?”
“Do you know that the demons are fighting as factions?”
“I do . ”
“They are quickly fighting a war to conquer more territory . Enroth is also trying to make numerous areas his . Our territory is currently one among a few areas that he is after . ”
Ahh, it wasn’t an all-out war with Enroth .
Well, that was probably why they lasted for 2 years but…
‘A war to conquer has started . ’
Muyoung thought about what Baltan said .
It was progressing fast . Didn’t it start after the Great Calamity in the past?
Diablo and Sky Lord . And other things created variables .
And those variables were all created or influenced by Muyoung .
‘I have gained strength to fight against the variables . ’
However, Muyoung didn’t just wait for things to happen . Even though variables had appeared, he had gained much power as well .
As the future wasn’t determined yet, there were that many ways the future could proceed .
“There are 4 demon kings under Enroth’s command . Do you know which among them have come?”
A demon king couldn’t have another demon king as their subordinate .
This was normally the case, but it was different for the top eighteen demon kings . Especially, Enroth’s Four Devas were famous .
“Shar-Shazar . He came leading a hundred thousand devils . While we are enduring their attack and protecting our territory, the fire tars are close to being completely destroyed . ”
“You didn’t join forces with the fire tars?”
“They have great pride . Maybe because you weren’t here, but they didn’t even think about cooperating with me . ”
Muyoung nodded his head .
The fire tars were the owners and natives of this region .
The huge giants of flame . Predators .
Most devils would avoid fire tars, but if it was one of Enroth’s Four Devas, the story was different .
However, if it was Ogar, the vice-chieftain, he should have been able to work it out .
But, even that wasn’t possible?
