n***

nVeld was ultimately taken down by his own attack.

nHe had made a foolish move.

nIf he was more objective and patient, the situation would have been different.

nBut ever since he went down to the human world and ran away back to the Demonic Realm.

nOn top of that, since they tracked him down to the Demonic Realm to hunt him down, he wasn’t in the right mind, and as a result of the nervousness, he made a mistake.

n

n

nMin Sung clearly remembered just how appalled the Dionysus Gods were when he first obtained the counter barrier ability.

nThat was how powerful the counter barrier was.

nThe ability to return any attack by an opponent no matter how powerful it was was an impressive skill.

nFor that reason, he was unable to use any ordinary force, and in a situation where his life was on the line, he was able to use that strength to turn things around in his favor.

nThat was why Min Sung knew that if Veld saved his strength and dragged out the battle, things would get more difficult.

nBut since Veld made a big mistake, he was able to claim his victory.

nHumans, devils, and even devil gods made mistakes.

nAs a result of that mistake, Veld was undergoing the process of extinction with the Gungnir S still in his back.

nDark smoke was coming out of Veld’s body, and his body slowly disappeared into thin air.

nWhile going extinct, Veld looked up at Min Sung as if it wasn’t fair.

n

n

nAs for Min Sung, he looked down at Veld with flat eyes.

nVeld’s eyes, which contained great evil, slowly lost its energy and lost the only light he had left.

nAs soon as the light of his life disappeared, Veld disappeared without leaving a single trace.

nAll that was left was the gold Gungnir S that was stabbed through the ground.

n“S-Sir.”

nHe heard Ho Sung Lee’s shaking voice.

nWhen he turned around, Ho Sung Lee was standing with a devastated look on his face.

n“Did you kill Veld?”

nHo Sung Lee asked, and Min Sung nodded.

n“… Then how do we go back to earth?”

n

n

n“…”

nSilence fell between the two men on the land of the Demonic Realm.

n***

nBowl rode on his shadow board and dodged all of the devils that were charging toward him.

nAs a result, the devils were unable to grab Bowl.

nEvery time that happened, the dirt on the ground exploded as if a grenade went off.

nHe turned the devils into the Undead, but there were many more devils than Undead devils, and the Undead devils were inevitably weaker than the average devil.

nFor that reason, ever since Min Sung went to the Demonic Realm, the situation grew worse.

nThe Undead devils were already dead, and only he and Repone remained to fight the hard battle.

nDespite Repone having great attack power, there were so many devils that Repone’s mana depleted drastically.

n

n

nThe more mana he left, the weaker the magic barrier he set up to stop the devils from going outside became.

nAt this rate, the magic barrier was going to collapse.

nThat was what Bowl was worried about.

nIf the magic wall fell and devils began to flood to the outside, his master would be greatly disappointed.

nBowl wanted to stop that from happening, but no matter how hard he thought about it, he couldn’t think of a way.

nBowl stared at the magic barrier.

nIt started to become evident that the magic barrier was becoming weaker.

nThe red dragon, Repone, also looked tired.

nThere was no end to the devils. Bowl began to feel hopeless.

nBowl felt frustrated that he wouldn’t be able to meet his master’s expectations.

n

n

nHe couldn’t just run away.

nHe had to fight… for his master.

nIn order to stop them once and for all.

nBowl’s eyes, which looked like a candlelight that was about to blow out, suddenly blazed back up.

nHis loyalty toward his master gave him motivation.

nHe used the dark magic that was buried deep within.

nBowl stopped running away and stopped.

nThe devils were charging toward him.

nBowl opened his mouth wide, and dark smoke radiated from his eyes.

nAt the same time, Bowl’s body began to grow bigger and bigger.

nBowl, who transformed back into his original form of when he was a lich doll, launched his offensive dark magic.

nBones rose from the ground and wrapped around the devils, and dark smoke caused for the devils’ skin to decompose, and the magic energy that flowed out of Bowl’s hands sliced through the devils’ bodies as if they were paper.

nWhen Repone saw the great strength Bowl was exerting, Repone watched with surprised eyes.

nHe had no idea how Bowl could become this strong.

nRepone didn’t know, but Bowl didn’t know either.

nIt wasn’t something that they could just attribute to stimulation because the power was much too strong.

n‘How did he change so much?’

nMeanwhile…

n“Screechhhhhhh!”

nThe devils began to let out chilling screams at the same time.

nThe devils stopped their attacks. They grabbed their own heads and expressed their pain.

nThe devils screamed and crawled on the ground as if they were broken.

nMeanwhile, Bowl, who was completely focused on obeying his master’s orders, used his dark magic without any forgiveness.

nAs a result of Bowl’s powerful dark magic, the devils, who were already in pain, began to get ripped apart.

nThe devils’ flesh and blood exploded in all directions.

nIt no longer seemed like the human world was going to come to an end.

nThe red dragon, Repone, who was watching for a moment, came to his senses and let out his breath.

nIt seemed like the situation turned around, but it lasted for only a moment.

nThe devils, who were in pain, began to come to their senses.

nDevils continued to pour out fo the gate, and their attacks started to become more powerful.

nThe devils’ defense was so much stronger that Repone’s breath was nothing but a short moment that prevented the devils from approaching.

nWhile Repone flapped his wings in shock, Bowl levitated in the air and went over to Repone and used his dark magic.

nDespite Bowl’s elevated power, the army of devils began to pressure Bowl and Repone once again.

nFollowing the next battle, Bowl had lost almost all of his magic energy, and as a result, he transformed back into a small skeleton.

nThe devils slowly walked toward the tired Bowl and Repone, who had lost all of his Aura and energy.

nThey had a feeling that this fight was about to come to an end.

n***

n“What do we do? We don’t know how to get back…”

nHo Sung Lee was at a loss for words.

nThe thought of having to stay in the Demonic Realm forever made him panic.

n“Didn’t you came here knowing that was a possibility?”

nMin Sung asked.

n“I knew that was a possibility, but for people, prediction and accepting it as reality are two different things… Haha.”

nHo Sung Lee’s face turned pale.

n“That’s why I told you to stay there. It’s not like you would be much help.”

nHo Sung Lee smirked.

n“Every time you say that, I feel so determined to prove you wrong. What can I do?”

nHo Sung Lee scanned the land of the Demonic Realm with knitted brows.

nHo Sung Lee felt like his life would be over if he had to keep living here.

n“Oh yeah!”

nHo Sung Lee widened his eyes and looked back at Min Sung.

n“The… devils. The devils are still on earth. Do you think Bowl and Repone are okay? If you don’t go back there…”

nHo Sung Lee trailed off.

nIt was clear what Ho Sung Lee was trying to say.

nLike he said, if he didn’t get back, the situation would get much worse.

nBut the reason why he still came to the Demonic Realm was to kill Veld, and Min Sung hadn’t given up on going back to the human world.

n“We’ll have to find a way,” said Min Sugn while glaring at the dark ground of the Demonic Realm.

nAt that moment, Min Sung reacted to something.

n“…?”

nMin Sung stared into space with a blank face, and Ho Sung Lee watched in confusion.

nHo Sung Lee’s face became tense.

n“What’s wrong?”

nHo Sung Lee asked.

n“I think I found a way,” replied Min Sung in a low voice.

n“You did?”

nHo Sung Lee’s face lit up for a second, but it died down immediately.

nThat was because Min Sung’s face looked dark.

n“If you found a way, why do you look so serious?”

nMin Sung smirked.

n“They’re telling me to take over Veld’s position.”

n“… What?”

nHo Sung Lee’s face looked shocked.

n“Since Veld died, there is no longer a ruler in the Demonic Realm. If I take that place, I’ll end up inheriting the power of the Demonic Realm, which means I can also interfere in other worlds.”

n“Then you can open the gate to the human world.”

nHo Sung Lee mumbled to himself before knitting his brows at Min Sung.

n“But the position of the devil king…? No. I know better than anyone how much you despise this place. You can’t become the owner of a place like that.”

nHo Sung Lee bit down on his lip and continued, “I’m sure there’s another way.”

nHo Sung Lee tried to convince Min Sung.

n“We can’t miss this opportunity. Bowl and Repone are waiting for us.”

n“But…!”

nIn response to Min Sung’s silence, Ho Sung Lee bowed his head.

nThat was because he knew he had already made up his mind.

n“Let’s go and eat,” said Min Sung while touching his air.

nAt that moment, dark magic energy that was floating around the Demonic Realm began to swarm toward Min Sung.

nThe powerful wave of the magic energy pushed Ho Sung Lee back and made him roll on the ground.

nA great amount of magic energy swarmed over to Min Sung, and when Min Sung opened his eyes again.

nMin Sung gave off a presence that he didn’t have before.

nHo Sung Lee stared at Min Sung blankly.

nNow that he was in a position equal to the gods, surpassing that of all devils and humans, Ho Sung Lee couldn’t help but tremble.

nMin Sung smiled and looked back at Ho Sung Lee.

n“Let’s go back.”

nMin Sung flashed his eyes and waved his hand.

nRipppppp!

nThe air ripped, forming a gate.

nThe door to the human world had opened.

nHo Sung Lee took Ssol and followed Min Sung through the gate.
