Demon King
Chapter 155 The Lord Of Pride [1]

The world began to shake.

No, the underground and my existence are extremely trembling. Lucifer declares he will create the entire world alone, but it will destroy the connection between the underground and the Rookie Battlefield. If that happened, they would disappear without leaving a trace. It will undo everything I have done to prepare for the Great Fusion, killing all the underground dwellers.

“Lucifer, you..!”

“Fate, you can't.”

“...I want to kill you.”

[My bride, you are the only one in the world who deserves to be saved. You, who monopolize the beauty of this whole world. I'm late to prepare your gift, but please forgive me.]

The giant ball that carried his message extended for a moment, creating a black gate in the air that only one person could pass through. It was a gate made just for L. What would happen to anyone other than him trying to pass by was too terrifying to try and imagine.

[Come come. I haven't seen your face in a long time.]

“If you don't want to die, shut up. That was the worst proposal I've ever heard in my life. ” L said his words with an expression of disgust, but Lucifer replied nonstop.

[Between Fate, which has no power to protect you, and I, who can create the whole world, is not the answer clear? I don't see a problem with my words.]

“Your whereabouts is the problem.”

[The weak are instinctively attracted to the strong. To survive, you choose Fate, the strongest you know, and he protects you. Didn't we?]

Slowly, but surely, the vibration increased. We still have time; giving his new world any independence is not an easy thing. There's only one thing I can do right now, like it or not. I began to increase the mana around my body, surrounding myself with the power of Domination. I turned his gaze away from me to the floating ball in the air, his eyes piercing through it as if he was looking at Lucifer himself.

“You know nothing. I don't even have to tell you anything about me. You just assume that you are the best in the world, and therefore there must be the prettiest woman by your side. ”

[…]

Unlike Lucifer, I knew the answer from the start. Although arrogant, he thought the best thing for him was the best for others, but it was not. He did not understand the reason behind Great Fusion or why L was here like this.

“I will stay with Destiny. I can't lie to my own heart even if I'm erased. Lucifer, it is a fact among demons in the world that the most emotional is none other than me. My feelings will never be moved by such a generous threat. The ball shook tremendously because of his rant. The mana inside showed signs of losing control, but I noticed what she was trying to do.

[I saw. Once you disappear from the world, no one with your beauty will ever be reborn in the new world.]

It was only a complete agreement with his words.

[Stupid. You can't see the obvious in front of your own eyes. I'll wipe you out without leaving anything behind.]

“You are more disgusting and dirty than a rotten carcass of maggots!” The ball exploded during L's scream. Dozens of chains sent by Rain temporarily held off the explosion, but only for a few seconds. Nevertheless, there was enough time for me to exert Predation energy.

“Finally.” I encased the energy of Lucifer's explosion with a dark gray cloud. The force of violence hit me as I struggled to absorb it. Magic that tried to open the gates to the battlefield raged around me.

[I know what you're trying to do, but it's a waste. There's nothing left for you! All you can do is count the time left until your destruction.]

Lucifer's consciousness remains connected to this place through which it forms the sphere. I was too busy focusing on magic to listen to her hateful words. Where I slowly gnawed at him and calmed me down.

[What's the matter?]

More specifically, it's not magic. Instead, I prepared to activate my Dominance skill ability. I can summon my subordinates through my original skills, but now I can move on to them as much as possible. Even if I am no longer a fairy, I can go to the battlefield as long as one of my subordinates is there. What I am preparing for now is that skill. I don't know what Lucifer is thinking, but I already expected him to behave beyond my expectations, which is why I dared to put Mireina on the battlefield first.

I need to infiltrate him. I wanted to gather information first, of course, but my main goal was always that. I want to take all the troops I command there, but I can only take one or two troops in reality.

Then Lucifer noticed. Anyone who knew that I could command and nurture the corps would soon capture my plan.

[Fate, I've been arrested!]

“It's okay, now it's over!” Mireina sent me a panicked message, but I responded with confidence as I improved mana.

[You.. oh!]

Right now, his message was disappearing neatly with the mana exploding, the mana door appeared in its place. It was a door that only two people could pass through, and I didn't know if they could return.

“This.” I turned the doorknob as Rain groaned as he came to his senses. But L laughed and patted his back.

“Rain.”

“Of course I want to help Destiny. But L, maybe. ”.

“My strength will not work on him. But you're different, that's why Destiny brought you. ” L already know everything.

“Fate, come back after trampling on the arrogant trash who won't admit that you're king. But don't waste time, or you won't be able to see me again. ” L confident in my victory even against this powerful enemy. I have to admit. Whether we have a past together or not, I must fall in love with her. But he was right, if I take too long, the world will end completely, and the underground will vanish. I don't have time to say goodbye.

“I'll be back.”

“I'll wait.” I nodded firmly at him and opened the door.

“Rain, let's go.”

“... Alright, Destiny. We will fight together again after a long time. ” We jump together, our environment changed. We went from a bloody cloud to a white light, from a brown desert to a green meadow. Countless souls rose up in the air, spinning ferociously around the huge castle where Lucifer was waiting. I immediately saw Mireina, defending against the enemy's attack.

“Destiny!” Mireina ran desperately to cling to me. We didn't take long, but it must be a matter of life or death for him. I'm sure he won't die, but checking his safety is enough to make me completely relax. I gently stroked her hair while summoning magic to fight the enemy. I believe that I will be able to forgive me all this time.

“Hey, he's here!”

“A very dirty thing in this beautiful world!”

All the elite legions on the battlefield gathered in front of us. The fallen legion, led by Lucifer. They hate Heaven like demons, but they try to solve it by creating a new world, fully participating in Lucifer's plan to exterminate demons.

[Foolish basis, Destiny. You must have noticed the difference between us.]

His voice echoed throughout the world. He had already assimilated into the battlefield; it was as if he was now the world. Just standing there was enough to make me feel the burden weighing on me. However, there were two people who did not feel it. Rain, who had never lost himself anywhere, and Mireina, who could deny anything to preserve the sanctity of her soul.

“You fool. You must be well aware that you are not making this place alone. Isn't that why you don't want me here? ” Now is my counterattack moment.

“Kill him!”

“He was a dirty demon who betrayed us and tried to sacrifice us! He made this all happen, he made us fall! ”

“Kill him!” The fallen angel flooded me, but Lucifer already knew what I was going to do. I clicked my tongue, slowly calling out their names.

“Beled, Berid, Basin, Gamigin, Valepor..”.

Once the name of the Fallen Angel filled the air, the war began to change dramatically.
