Demon King
Chapter 138 The Birth of the Legion [6]

It started with my skin. My illusion exploded, as if unable to keep up with my strength, and exposed my dark skin for a moment as it began to split apart.

‘It's dangerous.’ He thought it would be as simple as the evolution from Belkena to Belkena Predator, but it was wrong. The changes that have happened with me will not end with just adding one more name to my race. If the evolution ends quickly, you will be able to use it against the enemy. But when it happens slowly like now, it will only expose your weaknesses. The reaction of the elves and Reraje, who were hovering in the air, was intense.

[I have to kill him now!]

The previous arrow that was fired was thrown by mana from Jinma the Solas and I emitted during our evolution, but the second arrow was able to pierce through it to stick on my shoulder. Evolution continues without heeding it.

[We have arrived.]

[We can't hold on.]

[Don't let her untie her!]

Three more angels appeared, pure white wings protruding from their backs. It seems that they have decided to kill me today, appearing all at once on the battlefield. Instead of chasing me, they chased after Rain, who was still binding the dragon.

‘That must be the devil who secured their way underground.’ However, this is not the time to consider that. Let the shield fall, jumping into the air to intercept the demon.

“Them names!”

“Raum, Balaam, Purkas!” I barely forced on the names while my skin, muscles, and bones were torn apart. Just like Barbatos and Reraje, their white wings became tattered and dirty. The rain laughed at the sight.

“Please, destroy your ugly wings!”

[You…! The devil will never forgive you!]

“Do not write that name in your mouth!” A collided with one of them, smashing their arms without a trace with the mana surrounding it.

[Ohhhhhh!]

[This damn power.!].

They exchanged blows with A, but he wasn't bothered. His strength and skills were enough to manage all three at once. If he tried his hardest from the start, things would get much better. However, the fortress was no longer protected now that he was on the front lines. The fortress is like my real body tonight, so we will all be slaughtered if it collapses.

“Soon!” A yelled in annoyance while holding the angels. I tried to speed up the changes that were happening inside me, which were pulsing around my heart.

[Your life will end here!]

An arrow hit my forehead; my head split in half, centered on the arrow.

[Have you done it?!]

Afraid of Barbatos' death, Reraje did not want to approach me properly and continued shooting arrows from a distance. I couldn't help but laugh at the funny sight. As he tried to ascertain if I was dead, the battlefield beneath me began to change. A memory hidden within me was forcing myself into my vision, revealing to me a castle that was much larger and more beautiful than the one I was currently guarding. It was shining dimly under the black moonlight, and I was facing a handsome man on the balcony of the top floor.

[Is this the last day we will face each other?]

[Stop talking like we're close.]

[Hahaha, you're still sweet.]

[Refrains.]

The man spoke to me with his arms wide open towards the moon.

[But we share goals now! We are partners. Comrade.]

[I can hardly think of you as a friend.]

[Don't worry. No one can be trusted like me.]

[Do I have to call your name and prove your lies?]

The man looked at me. He smiled brightly, but flames raged in his eyes.

[This is a joke that's not funny to you. You must want to get me out.]

[I don't want to be disturbed on my last night. Leave the moon and get out.]

[Ha.]

Twelve brilliant wings emerged from his back, so dazzling that they did not fit underground.

[I always thought funny how you always look up — stuck on the edge of the underground, always want more. I'm different. There was nothing above me, so I had to look down.]

[Going.]

[It starts now. I'm hoping to see you again. For now, I'll take my bride.]

The man disappeared from sight. I clicked my tongue and turned around. A faint figure stood in front of me. It's shapeless, but I know it's me. There can be no one else but me. Slowly, my lips pursed, and I started laughing.

“... Hoo!” I subconsciously reached out my hand, my consciousness recovering with a harsh start. My body was torn apart as the pain ripped inside me. I let go of my broken parts, letting the mana I reassemble my body.

[Belkatina]

[Belkatina is a race achieved by the evolved Belkenes. The evolution of Belkena is based on individuality and its potential, so no individual can be said to be the same.]

[Destiny]

[Belkatina Lv60]

[New Magic – 596, Soul Magic – 712, Luck – ?????]

[Skill – Predation Lv5, Reaper Lv5, Lunatic Trickster Lv6, Ubiquitous Lv7, Lv5 Domination, Blackmine Lv6, Magic Lv1, Flame of Destruction Lv4]

The situation was urgent, so I had to go through the status window immediately to understand what had changed. Almost all of my skills have improved, but the most glaring thing is magic. Belkena Spell turned into just a skill called Magic. However, it did not feel like it was weakening. Instead, it feels like that simple word has a lot of possibilities for me to reach.

[No.]

[Sirly, he regained his ability.].

I stepped in the air as fragments of my body fell. They are nothing more than trash now. My new body, which could not be recovered through Predation, immediately burned white and disappeared. Solas underwent a similar metamorphosis as he remained in the air.

[How did you survive?]

“I eat Barbatos. I didn't get his strength, but now I'm strong enough to withstand your attack. ” Undoubtedly, if I eat Reraje, which has the corresponding strength, I will get it. He could sense that, and he retreated instinctively. But it's too late.

[Khhhh!]

I'll approach her soon. Everywhere now feels as natural as breathing. Reraje tried to use a similar ability to escape, but he was attacked by Solas and me now. A spider web from behind bound him.

[No..!]

The moment he was captured, he tried to use a strange power. But I'm used to it. I used Predation to swallow the strange mana blooming around it. The mana was foreign to me and tortured me from inside my body, but I could endure it.

[This is not the time to be held by a Devil who has lost his power! Help me!]

[If you're going to say that, handle it and help me!]

[Ahh, why didn't he show up ?! The precious power of the devil.!].

“I told you not to mention that name!” A evokes more mana in anger. ‘Have you hidden your strength?’ I don't think it's possible for him to be stronger, but it's him. The increase in strength from my evolution not only affected Solas and me. The fortress was also chained, and as a result, all the entities connected to it and I became stronger.

[Don't get too excited and focused! The fort is under attack!]

L, who had not felt the crisis even from the start, let out a sharp and clear voice. He spread his magic to attack the demons and monsters that filled the fortress, and the dwarves waiting inside prepared.

[I will not die.. I will destroy you.!].

“Thank you for this meal.” Solas infused the spider web with a destructive flame as I pressed Annihilation against his neck. I will devour it whole.

[You have gained 491,039 experiences.]

[You have received 310,283 gold.]

[You received a Death's Relationship.]

[Raise level!]

[New Magic increased 17.]

[Soul Magic increased 14.]

[You have acquired the Cause Control skill.]

I acquired the skill with a majestic name, but I didn't let it fool me. I don't know how to handle it yet, but I do know that developing Ubiquitous allows me to do the same. From there, I had a rough understanding of what he could do, but I had to be careful with him. It could make me avoid an unavoidable attack or be hit with an attack that couldn't hit it. It is the ability to change cause and effect. Undoubtedly, it also helped them reach underground. I moved towards the angel who was interfering with Rain, piercing through one with a dagger.

[You have gained 281,283 experiences.]

[You have received 119,283 gold.]

[Raise level!]

The other two stopped, forgetting their attack on A. I can't help but laugh. Before tonight came, I could barely compete with them one-on-one, but now the idea of fighting two at once sounds easy.

[More powerful than Barbatos.!].

[He's right!]

“Have you been slightly restored to your original form?” A greeted me coldly and looked down, seeing how L fought against the demons alone. He clicked his tongue and flew straight down towards the wall.

[Damn, we still have the power.!].

[No.].

I move towards them. Devil’s Night won't last forever, so I can't bother fighting these little fries.

“Now ...” I pointed a dagger at them.

“Thank you for this meal.”
