Demon King
Chapter 140 The Birth of the Legion [8]
That battle cannot last forever. The balance of power was completely disrupted by the merging of some demons on our side, supporting my allies who had increased in strength due to my evolution.
[Huh..haha!]
[This is how it ends.].
[It won't open.].
A proud traitor takes no action to save a dying angel at our hands. I wonder if his ability did not reach underground. I wanted to wait for him, but in the end, nothing happened. I felt a little relieved but also unsure. Was it just because of his arrogance that he didn't show up? The question remains. Of course, the only way I can get the answer is to face it.
With the angels wiped out, demons and monsters were easier to deal with. While I was fighting alone, the Rebellion members had safely finished off the snake, and Rain continued to fight against others after killing the dragon, Boone. With the help of a demon like a red-haired beauty, the hostile loses her.
[Royal returning .. do we play in your hands all the time?]
It's nonsense. The demon who went to the end was a man with dog teeth. He went wild on the battlefield, but I treated him with the Flame of Destruction.
[I want to run around a little more, but baby.].
“Sorry, but there will be no next time.” After putting out the last of them, I remember him having a rather long name like Glashallabolas or something like that. That's not important now.
“I can't do it yet.”
“What are you talking about?” Rain, who was recovering his chain, tilted his head and asked me what I meant. I smiled bitterly and pointed towards the demons that surrounded me.
“Their name. It seems to only come to my mind but. ”.
“Bulkah?! Can you give me my name back ?! ” The red-haired beauty, who was relaxing on a camel, jumped up and grabbed my hand. I looked at the scene with a terrifying expression.
“That's possible if I'm forced to think about it. However, I'm not sure if that's acceptable now. ” I pulled his hand.
“But you returned the names of the traitor Barbatos and Reraje?”
“I can weaken them by letting the mana of demons and angels collide with them by returning it.”
“Aha.”
“Do not talk like you are here on our side from side.” I appeared suddenly.
“Sister, I was on your side from the start. I couldn't handle it with the power my Fate left behind, so I hid .. ”
“When the gate opens and you meet Destiny again, what will you do if you think you are stronger than Him?”
“Ah, you know.”
“...” L quietly raised his hand towards the smiling beauty. I thought he was going to slap her, but instead, I saw a terrifying level of mana gathering in his palm. I hurried to stop here.
“Leave it... So, do you guys have the same thoughts?”
[The last few decades have been boring. But now you've regained your power and opened the Underground. I'm willing to go wild if you're with us.]
[I'm happy to get Destiny back.]
Whatever they think, their reasons make sense. I stared at the three demons in front of me, including the red-haired beauty, who revealed their willingness to be my subordinates.
“Good. Maybe the whole world will change a lot in a short time. As you can see, some high-level demons have died today alone. ”
[They are the ones who have survived for years.]
[Those years were nothing before this fight against traitors who left the underworld.].
The sight of the black moon above us slowly disappeared. What happened today could be called a natural disaster, but the problem is not over yet.
“Many of you will die and disappear. Those who survive will be stronger. Maybe we can get our names back. ”
“Name..”.
[Name!]
[That's for sure.!].
‘Again, is that what you want?’ I smiled at the demons who showed their innocent longing before turning around to announce the end of the battle.
[He has proven his authority as a king by conquering the Devil's Night and the invaders of the Holy Land.]
[The area has expanded.]
“Wow, securing an unprecedented area without a name..”.
“Do not be silly. Stupidly judging his ability by that. ” L growled at the red-haired beauty as she clapped with pure admiration. In my memory, both of them are sisters, but L seems to think of them as mere enemies.
“That former area is, at most, the size of a city. But the area is so vast that perhaps as much as a fifth of the underground has been secured. ”
“Maybe next time, every demon who has carved their name in underground history will gather.”
“It will take quite a long time until the next night arrives, but it will happen.” The man on top of the laughter laughed as if he was very happy to hear Rain and A's conversation. After the expansion of my territory, changes will now occur with me. It was time to accept the mana that followed from the expanded territory.
“Wow, I have long not seen which one is pure.”
“Do not approach. It will reject everyone except the owner. ”
“Thank you for the warning, sister.”
Not only my body, but my mind was filled with blackened mana. Throughout the battle, I felt the power of demons and angels mixed in chaos, which now flowed into me. If I had not evolved into Belkatina, accepting this amount of mana would have been difficult, if not absolutely impossible.
“Whoo.” All the mana is now mine, and I have no intention of throwing a single drop. I summoned the power of Predation, fully absorbing the rampaging mana within me. The only thing that matters is how it will make me stronger.
[New Magic increased 193.]
[Soul Magic increased 228.]
[Magic becomes Lv5.]
That notice naturally appeared before my eyes as I was forced down so much mana, it could cause my body to explode. I was excited to see it, however, because I could feel my strength rising. From now on, it will be time for the most important part of my plan for Devil's Night.
“Destiny.”
“I know.” I looked around at the monsters that had survived so far. About one-fifth of them survived, so my squad looks rather shabby. Mountains of corpses scattered throughout the battlefield.
“We will strengthen you from now on.” My voice spread to the survivors. I will focus on strengthening all those who have not yet entered the higher system. The dwarves, who were only allied with us, were expelled. But now, if they survived, everything would grow stronger.
[Grooooaah!]
It had already happened, following the sudden change I had experienced. It was the perfect time to strengthen them as they evolved. Without waiting for an answer, I exercised my right as the ruler of this realm, turning the corpses scattered throughout the land into mana through the use of Predation.
“Wow.”
“…”
“Whoo ..” Mana of countless different creatures, each with their own personality and light, began to blend into a brilliant display of color.
“Beautiful, but somehow, this is also sad.”
[I'm scared. Which number is no joke.]
[Ha.] Many died today.
Waves of dark light flowed over the ground where a drop of water would not appear. Looking at it, every member of the Rebellion felt something indescribable looking at it. We had just been in a battle where we could easily become people who turned into more of mana, and I could feel it myself.
“It started.” Someone whispered as waves of black light filled the world, advancing unhesitatingly towards the survivors. It surprised them because they had already changed, unable to avoid it.
[Kowoooo!]
[Kiaaaah!]
Waves were absorbed into the monsters, not a single drop was wasted, all of them evolved at least once into higher level species. Even with the results as I predicted, the scene was still incredible to see.
“If you don't want them to chase, you have to become stronger.”
“Sial, all my subordinates evolved to a higher level!” Lee Chan-yu shouts in excitement as his subordinates enter the higher system. I laughed when I heard his voice below me.
“This is the power of Predation.. Even if he is trapped in a weak body, that power remains the same.”
“... This is the ability of Destiny.”
“... Why are you puffing your cheeks, sister?”
Not long after an army of tens of thousands of high-class monsters had been born. It far exceeded the results I had planned. No doubt, there will be problems above ground again, especially with many basements that I have not been able to absorb. The scale is not like before. But, as a result, the number of monsters I will get will be huge. No doubt, the traitor had his plans, but it's time for us to go all out.
It starts now. The Great Legion has just been formed.
