Demon King
Chapter 103 The Devil's Night [3]

Devil's Night, naturally, was very different from Eutinus' Wind.

“Kaha! That one is the key to their defense! ”

“Cost! There's only one woman! ”

Devil’s Night is a festival for the demons, who have had a long night. Fighting is joy, and a strong enemy is a blessing. Not because they could not feel pain, but the demons could only look ahead and run even though what awaited them was only death.

Myu!

“Ha ha ha! Isn't it shameful to be killed by a little spider? ”

“You are also stuck on the web! Kikiii! ”

On the one hand, they are purer than anyone I have ever seen – pure yearning for battle, blood, and death. I grew stronger as I enjoyed it, happy with myself. That's why it's so scary. Everything felt so distorted and twisted; it made me feel anxious that I might be wrong.

[You obtained the Demon Fragment.]

I looked up and saw the demon I just killed. It was a higher level entity. But more than that, this was the first time since my last evolution, I gained over a thousand experience points at once.

Captain, help!

[Whoo.].

I looked around, watching the situation around me. A, L, and Rain stand tall and use their defensive magic, but Lee Chan-yu and Cain begin to slow down. I'll find Mireina immediately.

“Hey, don't run. Get out and fight. ”

“Hei!”

“Solas, Mireina.. please help everyone.”.

Myu. Solas, who had been moving freely across the wall with his invisible net, began to slide towards Mireina, who was hiding under the wall. He shot out a rope to catch it and started moving to help the others. I'm not worried about him, because he handles battles as well as I do. I kept moving, filling the void. The defensive walls created by the three high-ranking individuals were strong, but as a large number of people approached this castle, it was difficult to cover everything. It was extremely annoying now that a stronger enemy was gradually appearing.

“The woman! He used some weird magic! ”

“It's very beautiful.”

“That's mine, I won't give it to anyone. Ahhaha! ” The voice was ringing in my ear, and I immediately turned around everywhere.

“Hm ?!” The Reaper erased my presence, but one of them turned his head. Fortunately, it was too late because my great sword pierced through his neck.

[You gained 1,102 experiences.]

Feeling a little embarrassed, I stabbed the heart of another demon with a black mine wrapped around it. When I got ahead of him, my magic spread throughout the demons. It would be difficult to kill a race that specialized in magic with magic, but that would stop them temporarily. I'm right in front of me, the magic protecting her is still there.

“They can't contact me.”

“I know... shit!” A magic attack that resembled a red snake flew towards me, but I could use Ubiquitous to dodge it. The next moment, I returned to where I was before, swinging my greatsword as it emitted a dark red flame. The demon's arm, which held the artifact like a stick, was cut and burned.

“Aahhhhhhh!”

“Basic fool, you have to kill them now!”

As I reappeared and moved, countless magic attacks flew towards me. I was surrounded by magic. Magic attacked me, magic that protected the demons from me, magic to slow me down, and stick me to the wall.

Magic, magic, magic.

I spread the Predation energy, eating everything I could. Using the mana I ate, I activated my magic. Now the mana around me attacks my enemies, accelerates me and defends me.

“That's him.”

“Excellent...!”

[You have gained 839 experiences.]

[You have gained 918 experiences.]

[New Magic has increased by 1.]

I swung my sword. The enemy moved towards me as they activated their magic, and more prepared further, but my Reaper skill gradually grew stronger during the battle. Now, it was possible to cut two throats with one punch. Predation energy engulfed their bodies without fail.

He eats magic.

“Do not use magic!”

“Catch him! Grab her! ”

[You have gained 1,194 experiences.]

[Raise level!]

Perhaps this skill with the name of Reaper showed even greater power amid widespread death?

Deaths.

Be beaten to death by the great fist of Cain.

A bright and bloody death by magic Rain and A.

Smooth death due to abnormal conditions caused by L Tensile Strength.

Death was helpless, bound and consumed by Solas, who stepped on the battlefield with a hilarious battle cry.

I could feel death filling the battlefield. Death from my own hands and the hands of my colleagues. They are gradually connected to become a source of magic that gives me strength. Before, I tried to avoid it. It was not at all pleasant, but my enemies had tried to visit it on me. I don't think I can deal with it. But now, I know. Whenever death comes, it's all fair. Through a sword attack or a lightning spell, there was a death that was destined for me. How bright and beautiful it is to debate life, yes, that is exactly what the mind of the devil is. That was how such a cruel creature could make such a beautiful smile.

However, there is no change in the fact that death means everything is over. If you get drunk on it, only one end is waiting for you. I must manage death and avoid the fate of what awaits these enemies for me.

[Reaper to Lv3. You can feel death better and will become stronger when facing it.]

The joy of silence filled me. It was addictive, eating me as I drew the hearts of the enemy. The night is getting late. There is no time to think and move. The battlefield is full of enemies who would be stronger than me if I did not have access to the supply of mana to recharge. Even during the mass hunting in the basement, I had never experienced anything like it. Above all, I have something to protect now — moves I can make while fighting alone compared to protecting something completely different.

[You have gained 1,529 experiences.]

[You receive 110 gold.]

[You obtained the Demon Fragment.]

Finally, I looked up, and there were no enemies left. My body instinctively moved to hand out death, and now there was not a single enemy left. What's even more amazing is that we're all fine. The magic that had opened up to protect the wall was absolute. However, it wouldn't be a problem if we weren't there to help.

“Captain ..” Lee Chan-yu gasps.

“It's amazing.”

“This is not finished.” The monsters were still approaching the castle from all sides. Most of them were stronger than the previous wave.

“I think the level has gone up by about ten, but what is left?”

“Very rarely fight while being buffed by L, so fight harder.”

“I think I'll die..”

“You won't.” Since we were bound by the relationship of master and subordinate, Lee Chan-yu shared the experience I reaped in battle. His growth is better if he fights as well, however, and I hope he will improve tonight.

“Fate, I'm dead.” Mireina muttered as she lay on the floor of the fortress. I decided to respond to him kindly.

“Yes, then I will burn your body..”.

“Ahhhhhhh!”

“Captain!” I immediately turned my attention away from the fleeing Mireina to watch the approaching enemy. With the fog always present underground, it was hard to estimate how many of them were.

“But where did they hide until now?” After saying the question, A is the person who answers. He brushed off the defense magic to rest and scoffed at my question.

“Should be easy to understand.”

“What is it..?”

“We all ...” He points to himself, then to Rain and L.

“Stuck in this fortress. The monsters were trapped in the crack where they could not get out. ” Gaps they can't leave. Like Jinma Tower, or Nak Park, or a shop. Or maybe an underground battlefield.

“But you guys are here.”

“It was possible for us because we connected with you. You broke through and brought us here. ” There are times when I visit that store. When I think about it, I begin to understand. It's just a special case. That way, they regained their territory and appeared underground. This demon …

For them, this is an opportunity.

“A chance?”

To destroy us and take this castle. For some reason, it felt like I was playing a game with L before. This castle is not just a building; it is connected to me. That's a part of me. And that higher level entity has been eyeing me, but also L. Not because she was a beautiful woman, but because she was also the one who built the castle.

“... They recognize L as the owner of the castle. If you kill him and take over the castle, will something special happen? ”

“It feels good that you know quickly. So... ”A put a firm expression on her face.

“Do not let him get hurt. He came here to protect you. ”

“At the end, I want to say a cool sentence.”

Very noisy. I stood on the wall and looked at L, playing the end of her dress. She is truly noble and beautiful. He's looking over here too. Not trying to make eye contact with her, I turned my gaze to the other side. I could see the demons approaching the wall and had a better idea of why they were. I feel a little different about facing them now and can't help but clench a hand. I have levelled up a few times through Predasi, but can I help us? I can't help but doubt it.

At least I am used to fighting higher level entities and using my skills. There is also a trick of eating their magic to activate my magic. Solas also became stronger throughout the battle, and I wondered if he would evolve. Or maybe we'll grow at the same time. Thinking about Solas, I was convinced he was there on the wall.

With that in mind, I jumped off the wall.

“Captain!”

[It's impossible!]

I ran forward without responding to them, happy that the buff L would take care of himself no matter the distance.

Like a knight riding to face a dragon, I charged towards the demon horde alone.
