It was a star bound to Muyoung . After seeing the blue star, Muyoung could instinctively feel it .
As if they were yin and yang, the red and blue, balanced each other and illuminate the sky .
And a thousand stars gathered around it .
Muyoung’s title also changed .
<‘Star of Essence’ is a phenomenon in which two stars with different properties are in harmony . >
The first guide?
In front of him, there was a book with nothing written in it .
Just a white book .
There was no title or author .
Soon after, Muyoung’s watch turned . Vibrating like crazy, soon a number of letters popped out of it .
The letters soon began to be written in the book .
Not just that .
The hand of the watch of all the ‘owners of stars’ started to turn . The letters popped up . Letters were written in books .
Muyoung opened his first chapter .
The following was written in the book .
― Muyoung calendar year 0, lead the stars .
― Muyoung calendar year 0, the stars sing .
The record continued to be added .
And Muyoung realized…
This little book was called Muyoung’s own ‘world . ’
It wasn’t written in detail but it would be a world that would be written more specifically .
There was a small thrill .
‘Questions about the star . ’
He had never thought about it . Why do stars exist and how they choose their owners?
Why is the number not one but many?
The demons were not chosen by the stars . Only those who weren’t demons were chosen by the stars .
They were all-powerful and had the characteristics of a leader .
And Muyoung became the leader of those stars . Something should be in common .
‘If so, what is the Sky Lords?’
Muyoung thought about it .
Sky Lord eats the stars .
Perhaps Sky Lord wasn’t simply a “shield of Diablo . ”
This was something Muyoung found out through simple reasoning, which Dantalian didn’t know of . But it was a question that brought to his attention when he thought and felt about the stars .
Maybe somebody was afraid that the stars would gather and made up a story .
The reason why they didn’t exist in the past but existed in the present…
In the past, they did not gather on a large scale .
It was because they acted differently as a different race, different group, and different goal .
But Muyoung managed them altogether .
Perhaps… Sky Lord was created because Muyoung was destined to become the guide of the stars . Or, was it because another third party might have gathered the owners of the star?
Outwardly, it was a shield of Diablo, but Diablo has already entered the Demon God’s Territory .
‘Demon God Haures was killed by Diablo . ’
In the Demon God’s Territory .
It meant that Sky Lord didn’t do much to stop him .
In the end, trying to stop Diablo was just an excuse, and it was reasonable to see that there was something else they were after .
‘Stars gather to make a universe . Does it mean a new creation?’
Muyoung rubbed his chin .
Perhaps it was the path that Muyoung had to walk after eliminating all the demon gods .
It was when he was spending time to organize his thoughts .
Muyoung had many ways to strengthen himself . He prepared the most efficient deployment to catch up with his enemy .
There was a need for many ways to be strong, just running and keeping up with them wasn’t enough . And, Gabriel’s power helped him a lot .
‘All that’s left is Sky Lord . ’
The stats could be increased later but now was the time to find out about Sky Lord .
As Muyoung predicted, if there was something about Sky Lord, it would be revealed at this opportunity .
Muyoung wasn’t able to stand long .
“Soara . ”
“…Yes . ”
Soara, who was shivering, responded to Muyoung’s words .
Soon after, Soara knelt down .
Perfect obedience .
The power of darkness due to the art of death devoured Soara .
“How much do you know about Sky Lord?”
Sora’s eyes turned to Muyoung .
“Created by high-level demon gods themselves to prevent Diablo and his followers from entering the territory…”
“Stop . ”
It was a waste of time to listen more .
The conclusion was one .
She did not know .
He needed to see the real thing properly to find out about it .
The other day, he avoided it, but now it’s time to pull it towards him .
“Soara, lure the Sky Lord . ”
“Yes, sir . ”
Soara, the Demon King of Roses, who had managed the Sky Lord so far, started to act .
Although she may not know the story of the birth of Sky Lord, she was better at dealing with it than anyone gathered here .
‘What’s left is how well Tacan lures the army . ’
***
Tacan sighed .
It was not easy to fight hundreds of thousands of enemies with only 50,000 troops .
At first, Tacan was a sovereign, but he was better at being a warrior than a leader of an army .
Without Bae Sungmin, he would have lost all troops already . Sungmin was amazing at being the tactician and maneuverer .
“Yeah, we are significantly outnumbered than I thought . ”
The number of scouts continued to grow .
Tacan continued to lose by small margins and was retreating one after another .
In the process, about 200,000 enemies were destroyed, but the number of enemies had already increased to 400,000 .
By comparison, Tacan had only about 20,000 soldiers .
He had already lost 30,000 .
“This seems to be the limit . We need to join the main army . ”
Sungmin told Tacan .
It was a lot to even endure it until now . Tacan had already reached the limit of his army .
This was possible because of cavalries and Sungmin used his magic to open a path for them to reach .
But Tacan spoke as if he did not like it .
“Do we really have to turn our back like this? I can still fight . ”
“You don’t go to war alone . If you wipe out like this, you will break your master’s expectations . Why do you think our master sent me?”
This was the argument .
Tacan scratched his head .
Muyoung might have sent Sungmin because he was a skilled magician and a tactician, but perhaps it was for this type of occasion .
“If I had been alone, I would have fought to the end . ”
“Our military situation is not great . Even losing 30,000 soldiers is painful . Of course, defeating nearly 200,000 enemies with 30,000 is more than enough for merit, but it would not be easy to get rid of the enemies with only 20,000 soldiers . ”
There were many enemies .
30,000 troops were worthless in front of the size of their enemy .
It meant that they needed to save as much as they could .
Tacan nodded .
“I know . But I can’t just back away . ”
Tacan looked back and looked towards a devil flying with his wings spread wide .
“He is the leader . He seems to be a demon king and all the troops seemed to be acting under his command . ”
Tacan didn’t just play along .
If they moved like one body, there will be someone who told them to act this way .
The chain of command would have been minimized .
And that flying guy was their leader .
“If you remove him, it’ll be a little easier . ”
“I’ll buy you some time . ”
Sungmin agreed .
The leader needed to be killed before they moved on to the next step .
The problem was that they needed to stop countless demons and kill a demon king .
“Hydra, Amadeus, and Doom Knight . ”
Sungmin called out his strongest summoners .
After using Hydra and Hydra’s heads as sacrifice, Witch Beatrice and Doom Knight was summoned!
He also poured out his remaining magic to make a barrier .
“It’s at most 10 minutes long . If you don’t kill him by then, we will retreat right away . ”
“10 minutes . It isn’t impossible with that duration . ”
Tacan pulled his sword .
Strangely, after receiving one of Muyoung’s ribs, he felt lighter .
If he was to exert all his powers at once, he felt like he could kill a demon king .
*
Sky Lord smelt the stars .
Its size was so big that it could exceed the size of an island .
The Sky Lord approached at a tremendous speed .
However, the real star that Sky Lord was aiming for was Muyoung’s .
Star Guide, the one who had the brightest two stars . He also possessed a body that he wanted .
“Sky Lord thoroughly disassembles everything it swallows . Thus, it is makes everything into nothing . But when it disassembles things, it’s movement slows down a lot . ”
Demon King Soara explained .
Muyoung nodded . It didn’t seem like his stomach could digest infinitely at once .
The demons that existed on Sky Lord’s path towards Muyoung . They were eaten up and he charged like a hog towards him .
If he stayed still like this, all the Muyoung’s troops at this place would be eaten up by the Sky Lord .
Its speed was quite dangerous . He needed to make it decently full in order to slow it down .
“Scatter . I will lure him . ”
Swoosh!
Muyoung spread his Gabriel’s wings .
And began to fly faster than anyone .
***
Tacan ran as fast as he could . The 20,000 ghost cavalries also ran .
400,000 demons were behind them .
“Damn it, I passed the 10-minute mark!”
“Because of it, it became much harder to get rid of them . ”
Sungmin was currently out of magical powers . He couldn’t separate a large number of demons in this state .
In the end, it seemed that the only way to join the main army was to engage in an all-out war .
“They’re annoyed . They seem like they will follow us until they kill us all . ”
It took not 10 minutes but twice as much to kill a demon king . Sungmin couldn’t retreat as promised, but could only hold up as much as possible .
As a result, the demons began to flock like crazy when their leader died .
Sungmin acknowledged Tacan’s remark .
“You should consider getting rid of the soldiers before joining the main army . Didn’t you say it was possible in 10 minutes? Why did it take twice as long?”
“He was stronger than I thought . But I won!”
Tacan admitted lightly .
The demon king was strong .
He almost lost, thinking that the demon king was like the other demon kings he had fought .
Tacan shouldn’t have overlooked the demon kings that were under the command of Lerajie, the Demon God of War .
Anyway, things happened . Tacan had to make a decision .
He needed to decide if they would just join with the main army and inflict more damage or be caught up to a situation where they couldn’t do anything .
“Sungmin, maybe we should kill them all…”
The best choice was to give up his 20,000 troops, but Tacan was a warrior . He also had the temperament of a sovereign . Choosing such an option was not easy .
Vigor!
What he needed now was vigor!
Tacan thought so .
“Wait . ”
That moment, Sungmin stopped moving . As if he felt something, he looked afar .
Soon he urgently spoke .
“We must be scattered . ”
“What?”
“If you don’t want to get eaten, now!”
Sungmin squeezed up his last remaining magical powers to use Blink .
Short-range magic that allowed him to move to an area visible .
Tacan tilted his head for a moment then he soon realized why .
“…fuck! Scatter!”
From afar away, a huge black creature that covered the sky was running towards them with his mouth open .
