“Just what…”
Bae Sungmin got serious .
A daughter?
He was a lich . An elder lich . The king of all liches . All the memories before that were vague .
He couldn’t think that he would have any ties with living beings excluding Muyoung .
But it wasn’t just a tie but it was his daughter?
“I can’t make a long explanation but Bae Suzy is indeed your daughter . ”
Muyoung looked up the ‘castle’ .
The castle that got out of the effect of the gravity field was floating up once again .
In addition, even more devils had appeared and their escape routh was being blocked .
Bae Sungmin flinched .
Mu young had no reason to lie . He always spoke the truth or at least he never lied to Bae Sungmin .
If Muyoung’s words were true .
It felt like the sky was falling down the moment he thought like that .
“So… the thing I have to find is . ”
Bae Sungmin had always anguished .
He felt like he had lost something really important .
He always had the pressure that he had to find something .
But he had never imagined that that something was his daughter .
“I didn’t want to bring you confusion . No, actually I couldn’t make a judgement . You are someone that stands on death and Bae Suzy grieves for life . ”
That’s right . Muyoung couldn’t make a judgement regarding this matter .
That was the biggest reason but it was also an excuse .
He just couldn’t judge what was right and what was wrong .
Bae Sungmin had died . Died and became a lich and also lost most of his memories of the past .
Muyoung couldn’t know how knowing that he had a child would affect him in that unstable state .
That’s why he kept reserving it for later…but he thought that he should tell him the truth when the two involved parties have met .
It wasn’t that he could evade it forever .
“Bae Suzy . Is that kid really my daughter…?”
“I will respect your choice . ”
He left saving and not saving Bae Suzy to Bae Sungmin .
Bae Sungmin had become a completely new existence after he died . It meant that he didn’t have to rely on memories from when he was alive .
But Muyoung was going to respect his decision if he chose to grab onto his past .
Bae Sungmin was disoriented right now .
He was the one that drove Bae Suzy to the jaws of death even though she had requested it .
He didn’t feel a bit of guilt at that decision .
But would he have done the same if he knew that she was his daughter?
Most of Bae Sungmin’s emotions were dulled . A lich was originally a dry existence . It wasn’t probable that denial existed in him .
‘Why can’t I remember anything, why!’
But the current Bae Sungmin was experiencing extreme instability in his emotions .
He couldn’t remember anything even though he heard the truth .
But it seemed like a milder scene was being made when he put Bae Suzy in his memories .
He wouldn’t hesitate at all if memories did pop up .
“Is that kid…alive?”
“She is, but it seems like she is not in a good state . ”
Muyoung and Bae Suzy were connected . But of course, he couldn’t know everything just because of that . However the clear thing was that she was weakening .
Bae Sungmin nodded .
“I, I will go find her . I have never seen that kid properly . ”
When Bae Sungmin first saw Bae Suzy he had compared her as a ‘rat’ .
And didn’t try to face her after that either .
Why did he do that?
It was because he got swept in unknown emotions when he saw her .
He had to face her properly at least once but he couldn’t do so .
‘I need to see her . Keep looking at her until a clear picture gets drawn in my head . ’
It wouldn’t be late even after facing her, holding a proper conversation and coming to a conclusion .
But he had to first rescue Bae Suzy if he wanted to do that .
The work of rescuing someone that crawled to death . That was something that didn’t suit a lich at all as they were ‘death’ itself .
Muyoung smiled faintly .
“I will open up a path . ”
Their escape route was blocked .
They couldn’t do anything against the tens of thousands of strengthened devils with just twenty thousand .
Flames!
The fire got wilder .
The six pairs of wings Muyoung had got swept in the fire and became so huge it could touch the sky .
And then, Muyoung closed his eyes and recited .
“That light has certainly existed . ”
Beams!
A hole pierced the sky .
And light brighter than ever covered the ground .
“Graaaaagh!”
“Sa, save me! It hurts!”
“Please! Argh!”
The devils that touched the light struggled in pain .
The divinity Muyoung possessed got strengthened with a chant of Als Nova .
Als Nova was a gathering of short prayers .
If you possessed a divinity, you were able to show this much strength just by reciting a chant .
But not even Muyoung knew all of the prayers . He was able to memorize some strong chants when he first saw Als Nova .
“Burn like fire and roar like the sea . ”
Swoooosh!
Muyoung’s wings got instantly bigger and then devoured all of the devils at its range .
More than a hundred thousand devils perished with just two attacks .
But there were still lots of devils left but they couldn’t help but get shocked at what happened in an instant .
Totter!
Muyoung tottered .
‘The chants of Als Nova consume a lot of strength . ’
At most three times . That was the number of chants Muyoung could recite . He felt like his magic power and divinity wouldn’t be able to endure more than that .
Shiing!
Muyoung pulled out Anguish .
He had succeeded in bringing chaos to the enemy and also opened up a path . He couldn’t miss this opportunity .
“You won’t be late if you go now . ”
Followed by that Muyoung raised Anguish high .
All the spirits, undead, Ogar and Tacan looked at Muyoung .
“Follow me . It’s time to annihilate the enemy . ”
* * *
“Who are you?”
Bang!
Enroth slammed down his staff .
At the same time, black tentacles surged up and covered the body of the infiltrator .
He couldn’t think that someone could pass through countless devils and reach the center of the castle .
Anyone besides Enroth would have been killed .
But it was precisely because it was Enroth that he didn’t get killed .
The infiltrator shut her mouth shut . Blood was flowing from her body but didn’t die yet . But the clear thing was that she would fall to a dangerous state soon .
Enroth shook his head while looking at the infiltrator .
“I made the wrong question . Let me state it again . Who is ‘he’?”
Enroth was looking at Bae Suzy but he was feeling that ‘someone’ that was beyond Bae Suzy .
He didn’t kill Bae Suzy right away because of that strong presence .
The one pulling the strings all of that happened . Perhaps, the real one that killed Shar-Shazar .
He was careless towards Bae Suzy or the lich but the real deal was the ‘someone’ that was beyond .
“Is he a demon god? Someone that was born in another world like Diablo?”
Bae Suzy was connected with that ‘someone’ .
But he felt a gap that he didn’t know . A gap this big…There were none at least between demon kings . It was a gap he could only see in transcendent beings or demon gods .
But it was also new . He had never felt a gap of this kind .
Bae Suzy showed a small smile .
It was enough with that .
“In other words you are the kind that doesn’t understand with good words . ”
Enroth was curious . He felt like dying because of that curiosity . That’s why he tried to take control of Bae Suzy’s mind .
Moving consciousness was Enroth’ specialty . Playing with the consciousness of a completely suppressed opponent was like child’s play to him .
He extended his hand and grabbed Bae Suzy’s hair . Then wrote some runes with his staff .
“I will ask you again . Who is ‘he’? Tell me what the existence that is inside you . ”
It didn’t take long .
But Bae Suzy wasn’t answering .
She was just letting out a strange laugh .
She had fainted .
It didn’t matter if she fainted or not if the mind control worked properly .
Originally Bae Suzy should have answered Enroth’ question .
But there was only one case if she didn’t answer .
‘My mind control doesn’t work?’
He couldn’t believe it . His power to dominate wasn’t working!
The Demon King of Iron Enroth . The real power he had was to control and dominate .
That was also the reason he could strengthen hundreds of thousands of devils at the same time .
But it was obvious for Enroth’ strength to not work .
When Muyoung got out of the Blue Temple he planted a ‘self defense mechanism’ on Bae Suzy .
It was a measure to not let know of others the existence of Muyoung but the mechanism also had a strong ‘mental defense’ .
‘Wung Chunglin’s’ brainwash was top class . It was also better than Enroth’ at some detailed parts .
Compared to Enroth that simply pushed with magic power and magic, Wung Chunglin had organized the mind in a really systematic way .
Muyoung had prepared for Wung Chunlin so there was no way it would get pierced that easily .
Only then did Enroth’ expression change .
“So I was the one that got baited…!”
Flames!
At that moment, a huge pillar of light shone on the castle and the exploding fire engulfed the castle once again . The barrier protecting the castle melted down just like that .
A defenseless state . The castle started to fall down thanks to the exchange of magic power that occurred in an instant .
It was a dreadful power . Not even Enroth would be able to imitate it .
This power, he was sure of it .
That ‘he’ had appeared .
Ha!
Enroth let out a roar .
It was really coincidental .
He was trampling down on the devils and himself after appearing like he was waiting for this moment .
Perhaps .
He may have been the one that got baited ever since the death of Shar-Shazar .
He had come to hunt but he was the one being hunted .
“I am Enroth . The great Demon King of Iron! Do you think I will be defeated that easily!”
He couldn’t admit it .
He was the one that placed the traps . Hunting was also something that only he should be doing .
Enroth denied the fact that he was the one to fall in a trap .
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
But that wasn’t the end .
Something else was coming .
But this power didn’t belong to ‘him’ .
Someone was piercing the castle now that it didn’t have the barrier protecting it anymore .
A fearful magic power .
He was piercing a hole by amplifying his magic power .
Enroth turned around .
And at the same time said .
“Elder lich…!”
An elder lich that was holding a staff appeared exactly at the middle .
It was absurd .
‘He’ could appear at any moment but a lich also appeared?
Enroth admitted his potential and had also thought of making him his subordinate but he changed his mind . A mere lich couldn’t defeat the Demon King of Iron .
If all this was his ‘script’, Enroth decided to kill that lich and woman to destroy that script .
“Do you think that you will be able to beat me!?”
“I didn’t come to defeat you . ”
Bae Sungmin turned his head .
Bae Suzy was alive . She was in a terrible state but what was important was that she was alive .
It seemed like she had lost consciousness .
Bae Sungmin shook when he saw Bae Suzy . If he had eyes, then his pupils would be shaking with no stop .
Bae Sungmin looked at Enroth once again .
And spoke with deep regret .
“I…just came so that I didn’t have any regrets . ”
