‘No . ’
Roosevelt hardened his heart . He was the Demon King of Chills . He was someone who was known as the most ruthless and cruel destroyer .
‘He will die . ’
Shar-Shazar was a demon king who was favored by Enroth .
Among the three demon kings, he was the strongest . But, he had definitely died .
This was an unquestionable truth . As Enroth had told them himself, there could be no doubt .
Then, what was this ‘shell’ that stood here in front of them?
‘Something else that used its shell . ’
Roosevelt looked at Shar-Shazar critically .
Shar-Shazar was certainly strong . He could do 150% of the work an average demon king alone . If he were to fight against Roosevelt, there was a 60% chance he would win .
But, if that was just a shell?
If that was the enemy’s trap?
‘After killing Shar-Shazar, they did something to his corpse…’
They had no choice but to think this way, as they were certain of Shar-Shazar’s death .
In the end, he was convinced it was the enemies’ plot .
And he thought about why they would have placed such a noticeable ‘trap’ .
“Roosevelt! It’s Shar-Shazar!”
“Was he alive?”
The subordinates were confused .
After all, to devils, or indeed anyone, Shar-Shazar was a being far more terrifying thanRoosevelt . However, while Shar-Shazar improvised, Roosevelt was ‘calculating’ .
“That is someone else wearing Shar-Shazar’s shell . Search the surrounding! I must find out who is behind that shell . ”
The truth!
First, find the one who set up the trap .
Perhaps it is the one who killed Shar-Shazar .
Although it was revealed he was a human, Roosevelt didn’t believe this .
A mere human killed Shar-Shazar?
‘It’s not even funny . ’
Enroth’s prophecy was certain . But, it couldn’t read 100% of everything .
Roosevelt thought there was ‘someone’ who was behind the human .
Who was it? What sort of a being was it?
‘A dragon, or a transcendental being?’
The Demon God Diablo and his subordinates couldn’t pass the Sky Lord . Among the very few humans who lived in the Demon Gods’ Territory, a being who was associated with them…
‘The King of the Dragons!’
The four transcendental beings that settled in the north, south, east and west .
Among them, the King of the Dragons settled in the West Sky Garden .
There were rumors that he, who was also very hostile to the devils, would enter into a contract with even humans if they had the skills .
‘He’s a human . ’
That is how Roosevelt was able to find out the truth of this work .
A human who made a contract with the King of the Dragons can control two dragons . Roosevelt also knew of one such human, as he had already killed a few demon kings .
The fact that someone killed Shar-Shazar obviously meant that they didn’t care about Enroth . If it was that ‘human’ who had the King of the Dragons taking care of him, there was a slight possibility that he could have killed Shar-Shazar .
However, Roosevelt was certainly different from Shar-Shazar .
Compared to that lunatic, Roosevelt was slightly less crazy and powerful, but that was when they only compared them individually . Roosevelt’s ability to command his army was among the best of all demon kings .
“Never get close to him . There will definitely be someone hiding near him . ”
The devils used all kinds of magic to search around Shar-Shazar .
And throughout all this, Shar-Shazar didn’t move .
Roosevelt had already spread out 200,000 of his men .
Although it might just be a shell, it was a ‘trap’ that was created using Shar-Shazar . No matter how much caution they took, it wouldn’t be enough .
‘Why isn’t it moving?’
The Sun started to set .
However, Shar-Shazar still didn’t move .
Why? What was it after?
There were no magics present in his surroundings . He couldn’t feel any sort of magical energy .
Also, he couldn’t read what they were really after .
The problem was time . Roosevelt couldn’t help but be hasty .
“They say Fraeda is almost here . And that he will arrive before they day sets . ”
One of his subordinates spoke .
Fraeda . The demon king who was just as strong as Roosevelt .
They were competing to gain Enroth’s favor .
Fraeda was impatient . If he were to reach this place, he would try to touch Shar-Shazar right away .
‘There are two choices . To make contact or just go past it . ’
He couldn’t delay any longer .
He needed to make a choice, and depending on that choice, a result would follow .
Roosevelt held a sword made of ivory .
And wielded it .
“Surround it . ”
If Fraeda arrived here, it would be too late .
Shar-Shazar’s shell . Taking care of and retrieving it was also a ‘merit’ .
A great opportunity to gain points with Enroth .
He wasn’t going to give this opportunity to Fraeda .
‘I have already searched around this place numerous times . ’
There wasn’t anything in his surroundings .
Only the shell of Shar-Shazar!
According to Roosevelt’s order, 20,000 devils surrounded Shar-Shazar .
Tightly . Without any gaps .
“Place a curse of deterioration on the body!”
Of course, it didn’t mean he would just attack him straight on .
To get maximum results while incurring minimal damage, he needed to put in all sorts of effort .
Following Roosevelt’s order, a magic unit consisting of 500 soldiers came to the front .
If it was a curse cast by 500 top-level devils, it would even work on a demon king .
Thud! Thud! Thud!
As the devils cast the spell and stomped their staffs in mid-air, a loud sound similar to beating drums filled the air .
Then, black hands emerge from the devils and surrounded Shar-Shazar .
Those hands represented deterioration . Hands that despaired everything that they touch . If they touched you, you could not defend against it .
‘Is it truly a shell without any will?’
It was too easy . He could feel the magic weakening .
“Activate lightning neutralizing magical barrier . We don’t know what will happen . ”
That was why they were being extra cautious .
Shar-Shazar was the master of the lightning . So, if they neutralized lightning, most of his power would be negated .
A huge earthen barrier was produced . Even if Shar-Shazar’s shell exploded, he would be able to minimize the damage .
‘Was I worried for no reason?’
There was no reaction .
It truly seemed like it was just a shell .
Afterwards, Roosevelt held up his ivory sword .
At this point, he had set all the measures he could . If he wasted any more time, he would lose the solemnity of a demon king .
Roosevelt stood on the stage that had been prepared .
Shar-Shazar raised his head . It was the first time he had showed a reaction .
“You couldn’t even die properly after being defeated by a mere human?”
Roosevelt’s sword started to vibrate .
A vibrating sword that oscillated rapidly . It was Roosevelt’s specialty to disassemble everything he touched .
“Still, you were once a demon king . To honor you, I will disassemble you without leaving a piece of flesh . ”
Swaaaaaack!
It was a sword that vibrated 300,000 times per second .
The sword lost its form and only left an afterimage .
In that state, Roosevelt quickly leaped towards Shar-Shazar .
Flutter!
Roosevelt’s sword pierced through Shar-Shazar’s heart .
‘It touched . ’
Once it touched, it was the end .
Shar-Shazar would turn to dust…
At that moment .
The world started to change .
‘A reality marble!’
“Ahhh!”
Roosevelt frowned for a moment .
Shar-Shazar didn’t know how to produce a reality marble . What did this mean?
Afterwards, what appeared was wilderness .
A place where nothing existed besides the wilderness .
In this place, their natural characteristics were maximized .
Rumble! Craaash!
Shar-Shazar became wild lightning . His whole body turned to lightning, so of course, Roosevelt’s attack had no effect .
Roosevelt’s body grew bigger .
Although he had an appearance similar to an elephant, he was much bigger .
‘A reality marble that strengthens our natural characteristics!’
It was a very unique barrier . However, what was certain was that Roosevelt was isolated in this place .
The barrier’s core was held by Shar-Shazar . Unless Roosevelt killed him, he would be unable to escape this place .
Crash!
That was when Shar-Shazar started to move .
“From the beginning, this is what you were after!”
Roosevelt shouted .
He had searched all around him .
However, he didn’t prepare for a reality marble . From the beginning, it wasn’t one of Shar-Shazar’s skills, and he had never expected him to have an item that could activate a reality marble .
Unless he possessed an artifact that even demon kings rarely had, it would be hard to create this sort of reality marble .
‘This was a risky and irrational decision . If I had not attacked him on my on, it all would have been a waste…!’
Roosevelt was taken aback .
He had made all the necessary preparations . He had weakened Shar-Shazar and made other preparations just in case .
If Roosevelt didn’t try to deal with Shar-Shazar himself, he wouldn’t have fallen for such a trick .
However, Roosevelt was known to be honorable, and that was where he stumbled .
Thanks to this, he decided to face Shar-Shazar one-on-one .
‘The opponent knew me . ’
He couldn’t help but think this way .
Roosevelt raised his body .
He had fallen for it . However, he couldn’t give up just because he’d been fooled .
“Do you think this sort of barrier can contain me?!”
* * *
Sungmin nodded his head .
Muyoung’s advice, as well as his own decision, allowed him to successfully tie Roosevelt down .
Although it had been risky, since they were successful, there was no time to waste .
“Gaudeamus . ”
Sungmin raised his staff .
Sungmin could open three doors . All three doors had strong magical creatures sleeping behind them .
Sungmin now opened his third door .
Thud!
Thud!
Thump!
The monster that ripped through the air as it sprang out was truly gigantic .
A being that touched the sky . Nine heads…
The king of all monsters, hydra!
Sungmin’s body floated up and perched on the hydra .
Then, he spoke to the surrounding specters and undead .
“From now on, we will attack Roosevelt . ”
Roosevelt was trapped in the barrier, but that merely isolated him from his subordinates .
Sungmin then quietly murmured .
“Only for his victory . ”
* * *
Meanwhile, Tacan went to strike Fraeda, along with Ogar, the fire tars, and the dokkaebis .
The Unpredictable Demon King Fraeda .
Tacan didn’t know him . But, Muyoung knew of Fraeda .
Although Muyoung didn’t know where he would pass by, or much about his personality, he roughly knew what he was like .
And… like Muyoung had anticipated, he was able to notice Fraeda and his subordinates coming towards them from afar .
“He would be successful if he set up a fortune telling shop . ”
Tacan was talking about Muyoung .
Anyways, since his opponent showed up, he needed to fight .
Tacan turned his body .
“Fraeda is mine . You guys can have the rest . ”
Tacan was confident .
He didn’t have many chances to really fight .
However, if it was a demon king, he would be able to satisfy his thirst .
“The opponent is a demon king . Won’t it be difficult on your own? Are you not going to follow Muyoung’s plan?”
Ogar spoke .
Certainly, Tacan was strong, but he was about 2% lacking to be recognized as being at demon king level .
So, Muyoung wanted Tacan to work with Ogar to stop Fraeda . But, Tacan was insisting that he fight against him alone .
“I can’t share this golden opportunity . Besides, I have something up my sleeve . I’d be confident even if my opponent was Muyoung!”
Ogar took a step back .
He couldn’t argue with him when they were about to go to battle .
If Tacan was going to do this, it seemed like there was no way else to handle the situation besides helping him out after ending the other fights .
Afterwards, Tacan took out his sword .
As they arrived at this decision, the enemies noticed that there were troops at this place .
“Kehehe! What kind of meeting are my preys having together?!”
As he flapped his three huge pairs of wings, a devil with a slender body who could be mistaken for a woman or a man rose .
This was also as Muyoung had anticipated .
As the first devil to act would be Fraeda, he had told them to instantly isolate him .
“I didn’t think there would come a day for me to fight while riding a bone dragon . ”
Ogar smacked his lips as he got on a bone dragon .
By now, Tacan had already advanced to attack Fraeda .
‘I will definitely win . ’
Ogar raised a huge club to his shoulder .
* * *
In this fight, Roosevelt would be the biggest obstacle .
Fraeda was an unpredictable demon king . He was a hot-tempered opponent who would fight against them without much coaxing .
On the other hand, Roosevelt was cool-headed . He knew how to read the battle .
In fact, the one who led the battles at the start of Enroth’s warswas also Roosevelt .
The reason why they used Shar-Shazar just as bait was solely due to this reason .
‘If Roosevelt’s hands are tied, that is enough . ’
Muyoung had arrived at his territory by leading the ‘ark’ that the Ogar called the Swamp Owners .
The ark had a strong defense mechanism . With this, if he had to defend his territory, it would be much easier .
Muyoung didn’t participate in the two battles and instead protected his territory .
Enroth was watching . He would sense Roosevelt and Fraeda fighting .
Unlike when they fought against Shar-Shazar, Enroth would show up .
Either way, it wasn’t a fight that would end in just two days .
Muyoung did not want to reveal his fighting power as much as he could .
His power would only be used to face Enroth .
“Lord, Kalmooh has returned . ”
Kalmooh, who had been ordered to bring God Hand Bartas, had returned .
Muyoung nodded .
“Rise . ”
A secretary opened the door to the lord’s room .
Soon, a big bearded dwarf, Kalmooh entered .
“Where is Bartas?”
“Unfortunately, he was unable to come with me . ”
“Is that so?”
Muyoung frowned .
God Hand Bartas . Muyoung needed him to create the rest of the Immortal King’s equipment .
As if Kalmooh could read Muyoung’s disappointment, Kalmooh smiled .
“However, the equipment is created . ”
Clank! Clunk!
With a loud sound, a few dwarves entered .
In their hands, there was a huge box .
