An ancient devil, balrog .
There was no known source .
They existed from a certain moment and disappeared in another .
There were different theories but among them, the most plausible one was that the world had once been destroyed by the balrogs .
The balrogs were too strong and there wasn’t anything in this world that could compete with them .
However, the balrogs had a very militant tendency . They couldn’t resist their urge for destruction and they were great predators .
They even ate their kind when they were hungry .
In the end, the balrogs that survived after killing all living things in the Underworld, ate each other until they became extinct .
And the balrogs that survived until now were the ones who were placed asleep by using a very high magic skill .
Among them, strong balrogs even had the strength that was comparable to the demon gods .
They were uncontrollable and they even consumed magic that they normally went rampage before they self-destructed but…
It was certain that the things around the balrog became destroyed .
It became a land of the death that didn’t even let a single plant survive .
“The source of life is its driving force . ”
Thud!
Crrrrash!
It went wild . The giant monster was crushing everything it touched . Whenever its paws touched, everything disappeared with a tremendous upheaval .
Bae Sungming watched the scene expressionlessly .
The monster that suddenly appeared was greedily coveting life around him .
Although they instantly had soldiers tried to stop it, the damage continued to grow .
“It is just him! Are we unable to stop just that one enemy?!”
Ogar yelled .
He was the vice chieftain of the fire tars and took the role of leading the fire tars .
That was right . It was only one opponent .
However, balrog didn’t get tired .
It wasn’t even using its energy to produce its strength .
‘Absorption . ’
He was absorbing the lives of those in its proximity, killing them and using their stamina as its own .
Although it wasn’t certain, he was able to conclude taking his time and carefully observing .
‘I don’t think I can use Hydra and Beatrice . ’
Hydra was a being that had reached its peak of life and Beatrice was a witch who used it as a source of her sacrifice to summon .
If they were summoned, a great catastrophe would occur .
Through the two types of strength, balrog will destroy the entire territory .
Sungmin had to seal two of his best moves .
“We will face him using just the specters and the undead . ”
However, it was useless to the undead and the specters .
As Sungmin declared it, the dokkaebis and the elves backed off first .
“Do you want us to fall back as well?”
Ogar expressed his complaint .
But, Sungmin shook his head .
“balrog absorbs life and makes it into his own . If we fight any more, it is no different than giving balrog more strength . ”
“Our comrades were killed . If we back off like this, we would have no face . ”
Even though Ogar was open-minded, as long as he led the fire tars, he couldn’t help but follow their rules .
That was what it meant to become the leader of the fire tars .
If he was to disregard the death of their comrades, Ogar could no longer lead them .
Sungmin explained further .
“If we remove its two horns, it would no longer absorb any more strength . When we do, I’ll leave the rest to you . ”
balrog was able to absorb life through how two long horns .
If they were to get rid of those two horns, they would be able to gain an overwhelming advantage .
“I understand . ”
Ogar also knew that he couldn’t be stubborn with this matter any further .
It was no other than Muyoung’s war . He couldn’t spoil things for him .
Afterwards, Ogar left with the fire tars .
There were about 40,000 specters . If they add up the number of undead, it would reach 50,000 .
Sungmin started to ‘command’ them all .
“I need to check from the bottom . ”
He had confirmed that balrog absorbed life and made it it’s own .
Now he needed to find out how much strength it could exhibit without doing so .
Once he finds out about his baseline, it would be easier to fight it .
‘Gather low frequencies and make them resonate . ’
Sungmin gathered shade type specters .
The shades were existences that were made up of low frequencies . They were the source of terror and specters without any form .
There were about 2,000 of them . He gathered the shades and resonated with them at a high speed .
He created a magic circle in the air and infinitely rotated them and only pulled out low frequencies .
The process would be impossible for a normal magician . It required great knowledge and precise adjustments without any errors .
Soon, it resonated and the frequency that had now doubled due to resonation was shot towards balrog .
Low frequency was not magic . balrog was able to absorb even magic but Sungmin thought it wouldn’t be able to absorb the raw strength .
A normal living being is received with this sort of an attack, it would create an extreme self-dissociation . It would hurt itself and even try to end its own life .
Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
It was effective .
balrog let out a scream and began to bump into the surrounding rocks .
It hit its head onto the group and bit its arm .
However, the problem was it didn’t leave much of a mark as it had such a strong skin .
‘I need to make that skin softer . ’
This also needed to be done without using magic .
“I need to use some beads . ”
Sungmin spoke to the nine-tailed foxes .
The five nine-tailed foxes were strong specters who would only follow Muyoung .
After becoming a specter, they had become real and their strength was easily comparable to a dragon .
And the strength of the nine-tailed foxes was concentrated in the beads .
It was similar to the ‘Life Vessel’ liches used .
“The beads?”
“Where are you planning to use it?”
The nine-tailed foxes were wary . It was obvious for them to act this way . If their beads were to be destroyed, they were no different than a normal fox .
If there was Muyoung, they would have passed it over without any hesitation but he was someone else .
However, they knew that Sungmin was someone who followed Muyoung for a very long time .
If someone else had requested it, they would have ripped their hearts out .
“I’m going to divide balrog’s strength . ”
The nine-tailed foxes looked at each other .
Spells or seduction didn’t work on balrog .
Only the attack produced by Sungmin .
