Demon King
Chapter 157 The Lord Of Pride [3]

The first thing that hit us was a white light wave. As the twelve wings flapped behind his back, a beam of light spread out like a true morning star.

“Kh..!”

“Kh!” Transcending light was impossible for me now, so I had to endure it with the magic I had. Most of my armor burned in an instant, and black blood burst out from my body.

“Khaaahah..!” Usually if an attack was impossible to avoid, it would be weak to compensate for it. But if I don't give Echo to Mireina, she'll die instantly. I myself fared a little better.

[See! My light, my beauty! Those with dark eyes, will you deny me?]

I clenched my teeth. His attacks were relentless, and my wounds kept piling up as my regeneration could not compensate for the damage. His attack destroyed not only us, but also all the things that existed in this small world. The ground is burning, and all who live near us are losing their lives. It not only destroyed their bodies, but also their souls. That's why I'm angry. All the angels I couldn't eat when Belphegor gave me were destroyed.

“Ohhhhh...!”.

[Do you know that I don't? Do you think you'll see my bad side?]

The white light waves became stronger. Belphegor desperately stretched out his chain to block it, but it did not help much. Lucifer, who was close to the strongest underground group, had fully regained his strength, leaving behind his delusion to reach the outside realm. If anyone can stop it, it's me. I activated Predation to improve myself a bit.

[Destiny]

[Belkatina Lv97]

[New Magic – 2.491, Soul Magic – 2.836, Fate – ???]

[Skill – Predation Lv9, Reaper Lv8, Lunatic Trickster Lv9, Ubiquitous Lv9, Domination Lv9, Blackmine Lv9, Flame of Destruction Lv8, Causal Control Lv7, Magic Lv8]

From the beginning, I planned on eating the angels under Lucifer. If he regains his full strength, it is the only counter I have. I think if it works, I can predict a win against him. But if my eating is interrupted, I will lose that advantage. That's why I was accompanied by Belphegor, who could hold him in place.

Thanks to that, I have achieved rapid growth in a short period of time after preempting over eighty percent of his followers. But that's not the end. The power I eat is very strong, and Predation has not digested it completely. My Power of Destruction has also received considerable strength in a short period of time, making it take longer.

The combination of the various forces created a unique and extraordinary new power; it was likely that it could only after fully absorbing the power of the dead. The problem is that it doesn't help much in the current situation. With my changing abilities, I cannot use it quickly.

[Important, really unimportant! Do you have trouble seeing me with your own eyes? How fragile!]

In order to maintain her purity until she finally recovered, she wanted to wipe us out hastily. Nevertheless, his actions were unhurried as he could not tolerate emotions other than self-esteem. But now it has reached its limit. As we somehow endured it despite the repeated attacks of white light, he began to laugh in annoyance.

[It's disgusting that you stand in front of me like this. You don't fit in my world. It disappeared!]

Lucifer raised one hand slowly. A long and thick spear of light appeared in his hand.

[Only now will it all end. You, along with the small world you are trying to protect!]

I am convinced that no matter how great my achievements, I cannot survive the attack. Now it's just a little bit, but I can get it all back soon. Belphegor stepped forward as the white light descended, stretching his chain around all of us. However, it was only a fragment in front of Lucifer's power. The spear of light flew, as fast as light could. It had enough power to end the entire world. However, it felt like it took a very long time to reach me.

A kaleidoscopic light flashed in front of me. All the moments I have experienced so far come to my mind.

From my life as a goblin to now, even part of my day as a demon lord.

You can't die.

A lot of things I want to keep safe will be lost with me. Belphegor, who supported me by my side. A, who is my greatest collaborator.

Lee Chan-yu, Kain, Katsuragi, and Mireina.

Even my little sister, who lived desperately for my sake.

And, above all, the woman I love again.

‘I can't die.’

You can't die. Avoid that. Stop the. Counteracts. Win.

The spear of light had cut the distance in two. My brain is moving at a much faster rate than light. Crazy con, Causal Control, Blackmine, and Predation. Even mixing all of that together, can I prevent it? Can the Goddess Touch handle it? Even if it's possible, can I really make it happen? As I raised my hand with that thought in mind, something amazing happened. Just before the light window cut me in half, something appeared to cover my eyes.

I don't know how that's possible. He should not be able to move faster than me, unable to grow so strong in that short period of time. Maybe the Echo I gave him gave him new powers. It's impossible for me to understand everything he can do. After all, Mireina stood before me as if to protect me. The light, which came just one step slower than him, mercilessly pierced through his chest.

“Kahk!” Lucifer's eyes widened to see blood flowing from his mouth. Light penetrated into me, losing its power as it penetrated through his body.

[Hybrid?]

“Kh..!” Lucifer threw another spear of light, but it also could not reach me. It pierced through Mireina's stomach again, and she vomited blood.

“Mireina... how?” Disorganized words came out of me. Despite everything, Lucifer's abilities cannot exceed his protection.

“Kahkk... someday.

[Burning!]

Mireina could barely speak as she picked up the third light spear.

“Is it okay like this..” He raised his finger, the agreement ring he gave me around him. The rest is in my hands. Although I have received cold gazes from L before, Mireina is also very precious to me. I wondered what they should do with the situation now, but the rings began to shine as they got closer to each other.

“It.... why I became your subordinate..”.

“... As expected, you have some hidden abilities..”.

[Dead, now!]

Lucifer continued to throw attacks, shards of light that were even stronger than spears. But it doesn't bother us anymore. Mireina's ability has become an invincible shield, protecting us all. Mireina's body began to glow white as the ring she was holding melted into the air. I knew instinctively that it had completed its task.

“Destiny.” I listened to her voice in despair even though I was confused. He should have instantly died from the damage he had suffered, but his voice was firm as he survived. He did not doubt her.

“Get me.”
