Demon King
Chapter 135 The Birth of the Legion [3]

I wanted to help my allies who were fighting with the snake, but the situation was not possible. As originally planned, the quality of the corpses produced on the battlefield increased and was used to strengthen my ally. It also improved the quality of the enemies that appeared.

[He's here.]

[Look. Your enemy is here.]

“Kh...” L clicked his tongue as he scanned the battlefield from the wall. The voice continued to grow stronger as the night deepened. The world had not been completely conquered, so the power that L could give was still limited. The protection gradually began to fall off.

[Quoooooh!]

“Cry a little sweeter, kids!” Under the influence of that voice, the monsters lost control and started going wild.

Their speed is rapidly decreasing. I was frustrated at work. I turned the fallen corpses into energy, selected good candidates, and then gave them energy to improve their abilities. Death and evolution happened everywhere before me. I haven't fought myself, but my head is already dizzy from exerting the power of Predation. As I began to feel overwhelmed, Solas, who was waiting on my shoulder, tilted his head and let out a sweet scream.

“What?”

“I'm still waiting.” The appearance of that high-level demon would not be the end. I have not yet unleashed one of the strongest powers.

“It started.” A, who was still guarding the shield around the fortress, spoke calmly. There were many demons who wanted to infiltrate the castle instead of rushing to the frontlines, so the shield was very important. It took the lives of those who tried to enter.

I looked up and far to the front lines, where there were almost no allies to be found. The ground there gradually became dark. I could no longer use my strength in that land, it was only natural that the number of monsters that became the base decreased.

“After tonight, the region will expand again.”

“Then I can devour everything.” I replied bluntly to A and waved my hand like I was a conductor. Even if it was reduced, the area where the battle took place was still vast. I can't get out yet.

Time keeps passing. The members of the Rebellion continued to fight against the giant snake, but there was no change in the situation. Lee Chan-yu and Mireina's abilities are obvious, but unfortunately their levels are still low. Even with its name sealed, they were unable to quickly destroy the snake that had accumulated years of strength. However, when I started to worry that one of my members was injured before they could kill the snake, a voice sounded.

[I have arrived. Curse the man who cleansed the past with the blood of his subordinates! This is the time for you to pay for your sins!]

Finally revealed.

[Fate... I'll burn you!]

I recognized the existence of the curse, and instinctively, my body was filled with destructive power. This is the person who can make that power stronger. I wonder if maybe high-level demons resonate with each other, but it seems like that is the case.

“Solas.”

Myu. Solas disappeared from around me.

“Canis, you also go.”

[Gaooooo!]

Canis, who was hiding behind a shadow, shouted excitedly and ran into the air. He disappeared in an instant with Ubiquitous, just like Solas did.

[Burn everything! This whole world is just an illusion.. huh ?! This spider!]

Myu!

[Ohhhhhh!]

I stopped paying attention after seeing the two rush after the burning leopard everywhere. It had similar strength to Andras, but Solas and Canis were superior entities with a lot of combat experience. I'm sure they can take care of it faster than anyone else.

“The real problem starts now.” Consuming countless monsters to block incoming enemies and get rid of high rank demons was the best course of action in the current situation. In fact, it worked, and only demons with strong or extremely hidden willpower were sneaking around the fortress. Since our main goal under Devil Night is to protect the castle, I hope it will work.

But there is a problem with the number of elites. The main force of the Rebellion, the three of them, fought one demon, and Solas and Canis were in charge of the strongest. L and A could not move, so in the end, all that was left was Rain.

[I feel lonely.]

[Ah, of course!]

Moreover, the consumption of the allied forces is proceeding faster than I expected. It would be nice if the other people became stronger, but it was just an illusion. While I was wondering if it was wrong to thank, a huge dragon emerged from the dark fog.

[Kaha! A festival, a festival is being held! After a long time, the festival!]

I was immediately alert. Bodies began to pile up on all sides, centering on him.

“Dirt!” The dragon form was not just for show; its power far surpassed that of a giant snake and a leopard as it exuded the power of necromancy. Even if both of them attacked him at the same time, they would not win. The rain came without hesitation.

“I'll go.”

“No, if it is impossible to ..” Actually, I am not sure if he can win. However, I know that I, the lord of this castle, will not be able to protect anything if I am feared by the invaders. Rain had a sad expression on his face as he spoke firmly.

“Fate, you can't beat him now. Can you hand it to me? ”

“...I saw.” Originally, such a powerful enemy would only appear after passing Devil's Night a few times, but we missed a few steps by recklessly securing that dungeon. The rain must have been expecting this, which was why he was preparing for battle. I calmly collected the corpses that were not caught in the dragon necromancy.

“Please.”

“Please leave it to me.” The rain disappeared, no doubt due to some abilities similar to Ubiquitous. Looking at the dragon in front of me, however, I couldn't help but worry he wouldn't be enough.

[Long time…! It was so annoying that I thought I was going to die!]

“I shamelessly save my energy for this.” Thousands of chains sprung up around Rain to stretch out in all directions. They held back, attacked, and killed everything he touched like a spider web. As an ability that prevents others from moving, I think it matches Rain.

[I'm honestly afraid of fighting the king.]

“You are gathered with fear of Destiny, yet you are still back?”

[You know why. This month, tonight, this world!]

The dragon screamed, its silver scales reflecting the black moonlight.

[Even if we lose our name, we are still demons!]

Good word, and confident too. Thousands of chains bound the dragon; mana Rain seemed to be endless. It was like seeing the boundless sea.

“Unfortunately for you, I myself have a little power.”

[Where is the king?!]

The sound of dragons echoed throughout the battlefield. He couldn't move properly, but he kept his caution.

[I don't want to lose another fight.]

“I don't need to let you talk any further.” Rain's attack hit the dragon. Countless chains were entangled and trembled, shaking the space around them. I wondered if it was just because he was bored with the conversation, but I didn't feel annoyed at him.

[Guoooooooh!]

Sky open.

[It is the command of the devil.]

Along with those mischievous words calling someone other than me a demon, a bullet pierced through A's shield and my chest.

[I will clean this wretched place and take his wife.]
