Demon King
Chapter 93 The Rebellion [2]

I always wondered if the shop, Jinma Tower, and Nak Park technically belonged to our world. I have had a vague idea until now that all three spaces, including the castle I am heading to now, once existed in Hater but have moved into our world. During Great Fusion, everything in Hater was merged into Earth, but most of the monsters and dungeons of – including some space and – entities were added to our world while maintaining its shape. Monsters and dungeons had invaded the existing space, immediately becoming a threat to mankind, and drawing their fury in return.

But my place is a little different now. It does not appear in the world but is hidden behind it. Therefore, it could only be achieved with powerful magic. Really, it was hidden very deeply, even though it still belonged to the world. In a sense, it is like the ultimate form of inventory system that everyone has. Usually invisible, but still connected to us.

It was an unstable fusion, as you can predict. The rain looked up at the sky, which was covered in deep red clouds, continuously spinning and colliding as they spewed out black lightning.

“What is the underground battlefield that Lee Chan-yu visited, here, in this world?”

“Maybe that's the problem, although I don't know the details.” He gave me a bitter smile.

“Big Fuses. I wonder if it must have been caused by you. ”

“What a shocking statement to make with such a straight face.”

“Who can say. We know nothing but you, and we have nothing. ” When he finished talking, he looked up at the sky so I could think of his words. I expected something like that, to some extent. Otherwise, so many things to date would have been too arbitrary, too coincidental. I became a goblin and was born in the Black Palace, not anywhere else. I've been connected to shops, towers, and parks. These things are proof that I have ever come into contact with the truth of Great Fusion.

But now I'm like this. Jinma's power has been restored, at least a little. My memories are sparse and full of holes. “But what do these people think?” I don't know why they're stuck here, but I can only guess the feeling Rain might be trapped in a castle like that.

“Isn't that making you anxious?”

“No, I'm happy.” He took out a cigarette from his pocket and put it in his mouth. I've never seen him smoke before, so it's a strange but refreshing sight. Perhaps he refrained from doing so because the shop was an enclosed space, or because he was at work.

“I'm happy to do conservation with you like this. I think I have lost everything, but there is still a lot left for me. I enjoy watching you grow on your journey. ”

Good words from you.

“Haha, don't let it get to your head.” It was a strange conversation, but it energized my heart.

Then, about the reason I'm here.

“Tell me what you want to know. But it'll hurt you. ”

“What are you using all that money for?”

“Gold is a valuable commodity for elves and Jinma. That's permanent. Don't get me wrong thinking it's only useful as a currency. ”

“Permanent?”

“Do you understand the point?”

“Only about five percent.” I already knew that he didn't take my money just because he liked gold, but I still didn't know anything. Well, that question is just a light blow. I removed the main dish from my inventory: the body of the Chaos Soul and the armored monsters I encountered on Earth. Rain's expression instantly hardened as soon as he saw them.

“I saw.”

You know about that?

“At least I know the purpose of the elves and those leading them. They wanted to remove everyone except the elves from the world. ”

“Please describe.” He pointed to the Chaos Soul's body.

“This is a clone of the soul monster you told me about. It wasn't from the Rookie Battlefield, but they must have thought that they could use it when they saw the process of human souls turning into monsters there. ”

“How?”

Hybrid ... no, look at that human.

“... Hm?” I obeyed him and saw the corpse of the armored monster born from the light he pointed at. I noticed that what I thought was a monster now had the shape of a fairy. When I killed her, she did not have the features of an elf. But now, no, that magic must have been eliminated by Rain. This is an undeniable fairy. I felt like someone hit me in the head with a hammer.

“I thought this light monster and Elakatra were separate powers.”

“It was disguised by the miracle of the man who led Elakatra. No wonder you didn't realize it at first. ”

“No, it is an ability that anyone with Elf blood has at its core, even hybrids. It just happens to be weaker and cannot be expressed properly. The power you see means that the monster has developed its abilities through its own power. ”

“Mireina can also do it?”

“If the hybrid is given enough time and has the talent to handle mana Jinma, then yes.”

“Hahs. No, wait. Rain, what did you say? You say this body is human. ”

“I see soul from body. By judging only its physical form, this is definitely a hybrid. ”

“Ha ha ha.” I laughed as soon as I understood what he meant. Her body is a fairy, but her soul is a human, which means.The corpse in front of me is a soul monster that has killed fairies and taken over her body.

“I think about this the wrong way.” Up until now, I thought it would be difficult, if not impossible, to distinguish between monsters that had taken over fairies and normal ones. I think the elves scattered on the battlefield will look at each other with disbelief as a result. However, if there was a way to distinguish them, the whole premise was wrong.

“It's impossible for a hybrid, but it's possible for an elf. More than that, they had learned to manipulate soul monsters. ” Wind Eutinus. It is now clear who made it. Elakatra had the magic to control a mutated soul monster with the intention of stealing a body.

“It will be easier than controlling ordinary monsters. The quality of their souls deteriorated, and their common sense was lost. They had thrown away too many important parts of their souls. ”

“What a terrible creature to survive and target the souls of others.”

“If the monster eats the soul of a fairy or hybrid and takes over their body, they can develop their power more through slaughter and fusion.”

“It looks like Elakatra is making an army to destroy Jinma.”

“I understand ..” He sighed.

“All the hybrids that died in the Rookie Battlefield may have been used as sacrifices for this monster.”

“…”

“Didn't you feel the abilities of this monster are similar to yours?” I thought they killed souls, but Wind Eutinus explained to me as they began to merge. With my Devil Claw, I can devour it. It was tailored to me, but still similar to their own abilities. They joined each other and became stronger, bringing other monsters into their bodies to grow. It was similar, on the one hand, to my Predation.

“... Did leader Elakatra notice me?”

“Of course.” Maybe they were someone I connected with in the past. I can't say for sure, however, with my fragmented memories.

“They created the Chaos Soul to destroy mankind. The monsters that tried to devour human souls, but not the elves. ”

“So they use Earth as a trial site.” Chaos Souls to exterminate humans, and soul monsters to exterminate Jinma. Both are controlled by Elakatra, who tries to maintain an army that is not dangerous to them but deadly to their enemies.

“If so..” One question still remains.

“They may suspect that Jinma has a connection to Earth.”

“It may.”

“Why did they send a soul monster in the form of a fairy to Earth before it was finished? I will only release it if it has been strengthened so that no one can touch it. ”

“...That's him.” Rain had a bloody smile on his lips as he replied.

“They don't know the situation here.”

“They don't?”

“Quickly once.” Rain laughed sadly.

“They can't check it properly. That's what you hate most, destiny. They're arrogant. ”

It was a scary but confident laugh.
