Demon King
Chapter 160 Demon Lord [2]

With every step I took, every breath, I could feel myself changing. Which with different qualities than before filled my body and changed me.

[You.. touched what is mine!]

“Since when did it become yours?” I stepped into the air. Just a moment ago, I thought the whole world was full of my enemies, but I was wrong. It was full of food. Or, rather, the world is a delicious meal made for me. The light that filled the world was sucked into my wide-open mouth as I slashed down with my dagger. Lucifer's magic power was circulating through my newly refined body, embracing the Reaper's power and spitting out daggers.

[Huh!]

As the death energy from Annihilation flooded around Lucifer, it greedily devoured his light, and he stretched out his arm to block it. A stream of red blood sprung up in the air, proof that I had finally managed to hurt him.

[You dirty worms ... You dare to hurt me?]

He seemed to realize that ordinary light could no longer damage me. He gathered all of it in his hand, forming a long sword with a brilliant white light. It has enough power to obliterate an entire city with a single swing, but I am not afraid of it. Now, I'm really on par with him.

[Da!]

We both collided. I tried to dazzle him by making some alter egos with Ubiquitous, but I quickly discarded those plans as his sword cut them out of the air.

[What a weird trick!]

I could feel a discrepancy in his words and actions. How's he doing now? What's wrong with this view? He tried to keep his distance between us. I laughed coldly at that realization as our weapons collided violently.

[Reaper to Lv9.]

Stepping back, my body was still intact. However, blood lines flowed through Lucifer's body. He noticed it a second later, then his face changed due to pain and anger.

[Khaakkk!]

You have forgotten.

[You.!]

Before, when I woke up at Black Palace, I questioned one thing. I have never used a sword in my life as a human being, never even wielding a knife as a weapon. Nevertheless, I have adapted quickly to using the sword. I assumed that the skill was automatically attached to the body I was living in. Maybe that's part of it, but that's not the only reason. That's because I, who used to be named Baal, was the number one executor underground.

Despite losing all those memories and becoming a goblin, I was able to wield a sword with desires etched in my soul. As my body expanded and my memories returned little by little, the swordsmanship had expanded dramatically. It has evolved into a higher skill by mixing with other abilities. Of course, there was no one underground who previously did not know that I was a swordsman. Lucifer knew about it, so he kept me away. But now he decided he couldn't set the distance, so he narrowed the distance between us.

[It..!]

“I can't run.” I managed to get close, having nowhere to run if I missed. I read his movements and his mana, spreading my own to attack his territory. I got away from the path of his sword once more, piercing my own sword into his body that was only protected by a thin piece of cloth. Blood spilled once more.

[Why?!]

“Does your self-esteem prevent you from acknowledging your imperfections?”

[I'm complete!]

A waterfall of light radiated from him as his screams hit me. However, his strength was weak enough to make me smile. It was nothing compared to the strength I felt before. Lucifer, who had lost his superior position, was psychologically shaken now.

“You forgot I was better at close combat than you. Otherwise, you will continue to fire attacks beyond my reach. ”

[Know your place!]

Lucifer's sword started swinging my head like a bolt of lightning. It was undeniably fast and powerful, but somewhat lacking in my view, now I have regained the name Baal.

[Beck!]

The sword of light collided with Annihilation with a creaking sound. It flew from his hand, soaring into the sky. The light lit up to protect his body, but I stretched out a dagger and pierced his chest. Lucifer's white mana collides directly with my ashes. The battle between pride and greed begins.

Hey, Lucifer. I whispered, looking into her eyes at such a close distance that we could kiss.

“You're the same as me, right? Do you remember the most important thing? Just a moment ago, you had no idea who you were before Great Fusion. ”

[Omong empty!]

“Somehow, I found out when you just gave up. It matches your pride, but it's very sad. If others don't know your worth, you throw it away. The pride you have now is pitiful and weak. ”

[Silent.]

“There's something I've always asked. You had a lot of chances to kill me, but you didn't. It's not because you're confident, it's because you can't admit that you don't know what to do. ”

[Silent.]

“So, I had no choice but to take action myself, starting from what was in front of me. That's why everything feels so clumsy with Chaos Souls, isn't it? ”

[Silence!]

“You try to act as if you know everything, but you make mistakes. Soul monsters were killed here, Soul Chaos went wild, the birth of Echoes and Destruction artifacts on Earth. ”

[Silence..!]

In particular, that last mistake was fatal. They became the weapons used to kill Lucifer. If one of them doesn't show up, I won't get here myself.

“Although so, you laugh as if everything was planned, deceive yourself and your subordinates. They were deceived from the beginning. Or, maybe they were just scared and decided to shut up when they laughed at you in secret. ”

[I'll kill you!]

At that moment, the world exploded. The moment I unleashed the power of all demons, the battlefield almost completely collapsed, only maintained by its relationship with Lucifer. As his anger exploded, the battlefield began to become where to give him fuel.

[I will be the brightest star in the entire universe, the creator of a new world! I don't care about the past; I'll be the owner of a world you can never disturb!]

“But.” I activate the Predation energy. The gray energy appeared like a ghost, devouring the energy around Lucifer. I don't like to take other people's possessions, but I don't mind if they're his.

Your self-esteem has been destroyed.

[I am the strongest.]

“No.”

[You are under me!]

That's not true.

[I am. I am a new world!]

His attitude began to disappear. As long as his weakness appeared, mana would be weaker than other demons. No matter how much the battlefield supported him, it was useless.

“Stop being stupid, Lucifer. If you are creating a new world, do you think you can avoid the Eye of Heaven? ”

[What..?]

His mana stopped like a lie. Twelve pairs of wings slanted towards me in an instant.

“I did think you were great at first. To make the battlefield into a new world was an incredible feat. But.” I reached out my hand holding the Annihilation. It started emitting a colorless glow as I poured all the power I had on it and stuffed it into Lucifer's chest. He could not avoid it; he had given up everything he had.

“In the end, it will only be one more world that will be witnessed by heaven. That alone would not be enough to defeat them. ”

[However.].

All the light disappeared. The only sound was Lucifer's voice.

[In the end... what is heaven..?].

It was the question of someone who had lost his pride and regained his original purity. He didn't know anything; he just ran forward like I was trying to do. Relying on vague memories, compiling pieces of the puzzle, he recovered. He must have thought that the puzzle would only be finished by killing me and creating his world. For the first time, his voice was filled with sincerity.

“Enemies of all creatures. Last hurdle. ”

[Together.].

“Dan.” As Lucifer closed his eyes, a half smile appeared on my lips.

“Having long-awaited food.”
