Episode 239
239. Demon Prince
‘What the hell is going on?’
This is Ryumin, who was laughing at the small eating show just a moment ago.
But now there was no trace of a smile on his face.
Red skin, bat wings, cat-like slit pupils, and even a sleek tail.
Because a being that looked like a devil was standing in place of the player.
“Um, who is that person?”
“Suddenly the bead grew bigger and a person came out of it.”
“It looks just like a devil… … .”
Ryumin, who heard the rumbling, smiled bitterly.
‘It’s not like a devil, it’s a devil.’
Starting from round 18, you will be given a quest to wage war against the devil.
At that time, Ryu Min and seven other players survived and completed the quest.
‘I know because I’ve killed many people back then. ‘How the devil came to be and ate it.’
Normally, the devil would not appear until round 18.
However, in the 14th round, he suddenly appeared to eat people, so even Ryu Min was surprised.
‘It looks like it’s because of the book the archangel gave me… … .’
As soon as the small mukbang memorized the starter word, the Messiah members were eaten and the beads grew bigger.
And then the marble broke and the devil appeared.
‘It’s as if it hatched from an egg using the player as a sacrifice, doesn’t it?’
In any case, we need to be on guard.
Just because a demon is hostile to angels doesn’t mean it is friendly to humans.
‘Of course, it would be favorable to me.’
Recently, by catching Uriel and Raguel, the reputation of the devil camp has increased to ‘Eternal Alliance’.
In short, there is no way that devil would attack Ryumin.
‘Other players wouldn’t know.’
We cannot allow the people we saved to die at the hands of the devil.
‘Of course, we have to figure out his intentions first… … Strangely, I can’t read your inner thoughts.’
It is a rune of inner thoughts that also works for angels.
Of course, since demons are also humans, it is normal for them to be able to read their thoughts.
But I couldn’t read the devil in front of me at all.
Like a soulless doll.
[This air, this environment, it feels like the perfect human world, but it feels a little foreign.]
The demon that was breathing in the air soon discovered the players.
[human? No, it feels different between my spiritual body and my physical body. Is it a player? Then, this must be a place that imitates the human world.]
He looked disappointed for a moment.
The corner of the devil’s mouth was torn apart.
[Well, does it matter? Even if the shell is different, it is still a waste.]
For a moment, hostility flashed in the devil’s eyes.
[Things like parasites of flying flies. At this point, I’m going to pick on the angel bastards and kill them all. Tsk tsk.]
That time when he was smiling at the players with an evil smile.
[omg? Oh, the devil?]
The devil raised his head at the voice heard from the sky.
[Who is this? Just then, a fly-like angel appeared?]
[Ah, how could the devil be here… … ? Oh, it’s only round 14?]
Angel Millen’s face showed a look of bewilderment.
When I came down to the other world to tally up the round results, I encountered an unexpected devil.
[If you are a guide, are you a 9th rank angel? Hmph, the angel I met after a long time is a low-level angel worse than a human. It’s falling apart.]
Despite the devil’s ridicule, Millen could not build up his pride.
Just by looking at it, I felt a strength that even an opponent like myself could not match.
[It’s ridiculous to see them trembling, wondering if they can sense how strong they are.]
[Da, who are you?]
[What if I tell you who it is? Would a piece of trash like you understand?]
[…] … .]
[Well, you might know, so I’ll tell you. Have you ever heard of the Demon Archduke?]
[omg! Seriously, it could not be the demon Archduke Plunicthos… … ?]
The angel’s mouth opened wide.
It was a rare sight for the players watching.
It was a sight rarely seen to see an angel surprised.
[You know me? Well, I’ve built up a reputation that even a shabby angel like you knows about. I piled up the heads of over tens of thousands of flies. Tsk tsk.]
[…] … .]
Mylene couldn’t help but laugh.
Because I know very well that fly is a slang term for angels.
[Now that you know what it is, how about coming down slowly? How long are you going to stay on top of this body?]
[ah… … .]
At those words, Mylene, who had been trying to get down without realizing it, was startled and stopped moving.
‘Now, wait a minute. ‘Why should I listen to the devil and not the archangel?’
No matter what anyone says, the main enemy of angels is the devil.
No matter how high the rank, there is no fool who listens to the enemy’s commander, right?
[What are you doing other than coming down? Can’t you come down quickly?]
Instead, the devil smiled absurdly as he watched the angel slowly moving away.
[This is absurd. How dare a 9th rank angel ignore the words of this body?]
[If I go down… … Aren’t you going to kill me?]
[Do not kill. I just want to have a conversation.]
Still, Mylene didn’t move.
I learned that the race of people who lie like they eat are devils.
I also learned that they are a race that is best at catching the enemy off guard.
Maybe that’s why my body was gradually turning upward.
[Well, I want to talk from afar, but… … .]
[This angel bitch will kill you. It definitely makes me swear.]
The devil’s murderous spirit was directed solely at Millen.
[Do you think I’m doing this because I can’t even kill a fly? Are you really confident that you can escape my grasp?]
[…] … .]
[I gave her a chance to live, but she turned out to be a bitch who couldn’t understand the subject and didn’t even have the slightest sense of manners. Oh, just as you wish, I will personally drag you down, twist all your wings, and rip off your limbs like bugs… … .]
For a moment, the devil was speechless.
Because out of nowhere, a person approached me.
[What is it, in… … liver?]
The devil looked surprised after checking the other person.
[you… … Black scythe?]
Since their reputation is clearly high, people recognize them even if it is their first time meeting them.
Although it may have been because he saw the nickname above his head.
[I have heard the rumor, Black Scythe.]
The devil, whose eyes were like a crescent moon in joy, whispered in a voice that others could not hear.
[You said you broke the bones of the archangels yourself? You did really well. good job. How can such power… … .]
“Did you hear the rumor? Or did the system tell you?”
[…] … .]
Although his expression was somewhat displeased, the devil soon smiled coolly.
[I hate people who interrupt me to the point of trembling, but since our trusty ally Black Scythe did this without knowing, he will show mercy to me… … .]
“Without further ado, what is the purpose of coming here?”
Ryumin had no intention of paying attention to what the guy was talking about.
Because angels and demons were the same in that they viewed humans as insects.
[Whoa, to answer your question, I didn’t come because I wanted to.]
“then?”
[Someone used the Devil’s Resurrection Book. I descended here after eating the sacrifices of five people.]
“Advent? “What are you?”
[Demon Prince Plunictos. Have you never heard of it?]
“It’s my first time hearing a name like that.”
[first… … Are you listening?]
The devil’s eyebrows twitch as if his pride was hurt.
[Well, the player might not know. I admit it… … .]
“I told you not to talk nonsense, but to state your purpose.”
[cheeky… … . Even though we are allies, you have been so rude since a while ago. Like that fly, I don’t even have the slightest sense of decency.]
“There is no courtesy to be shown to a devil who does not even reveal his purpose.”
[okay? Then I think you need to teach me etiquette.]
The whip was taken from the devil’s hand.
But before that, Ryumin’s hand moved first.
Tuk-
The devil’s eyes turned downward.
You can see his forearm holding the whip.
[This human… … .]
“I told you to state your purpose.”
[What if you don’t tell me?]
There was no answer to the question.
Tuk-Degul-
Before there was even a chance, the devil’s head rolled on the floor.
* * *
‘this… … Have you seen any absurd cases?’
The demon archduke Plunictos could not help but be dumbfounded.
It was absurd that the Devil’s Resurrection Book, which was lost during the Battle of Heavenly Demon, was used, but what was even more absurd was that.
‘They just killed me because I didn’t tell them my purpose.’
The Black Scythe, whom he thought was his ally, killed his own incarnation.
‘It’s ridiculous.’
Of course, since he is only an incarnation, there is no harm to Plunictos.
Because the one who just died was just a doll with only 1/100 of his power.
However, since it was Plunictos who had seen and even talked to the world through the incarnation until a little while ago, he could not help but feel unpleasant.
It was safe to say that killing Hwashin was a challenge to himself.
‘Don’t you know how high the Demon Archduke is? ‘There is no such thing as a thunderbolt.’
Since he couldn’t even properly show his power, it’s natural for him to come across as arrogant.
[Tsk. Humans are, after all, insects that cannot be dealt with.]
Plunictos, who was sitting on the throne of the Demon Castle, clicked his tongue briefly.
From interrupting a conversation to acting against etiquette and even killing Hwa-shin.
Even though it is a black scythe that killed archangels, it cannot be viewed positively if it comes out like this.
‘I tried to exterminate the fly-like guide and the scum-like players, but they died so quickly… … .’
Did he even know in advance that he was about to mess up?
I was defeated without even having a chance to do anything.
‘How dare you kill my incarnation? I already needed a reason to cause trouble, but it worked out well. I need to take this opportunity to hold that damn bastard accountable, Michael. ‘You must pay the price for using the Devil’s Resurrection Book arbitrarily.’
Next to Plunictos, the five souls that had been kidnapped through the Demon’s Resurrection Book a while ago were tied to leashes.
[Baal.]
Baal, the number one among the 72 demons, appeared from the darkness.
[Did you call me?]
[These are human sacrifices that are nothing special. Put it in the fire of hell and use it as an ingredient.]
[All right.]
Clang-
When he was grabbed by the leash, the Messiah members, including a small mukbang, cried out in tears and snot.
“Please save me, teacher. “Please let me go.”
“I will live a good life. Please save me… … .”
As Baal’s hand waved in the air, no voice came out.
It just moves its mouth like a goldfish.
[Let’s go, you bastards.]
After Baal took the souls, Plunictos suddenly had this thought.
‘But it’s strange. ‘Why did my incarnation die without being able to avoid it?’
Although it is 1/100th of his own power, he is an incarnation with power comparable to that of an archangel.
It is impossible to die without being able to respond in any way.
‘Hmm… … Could it be that the player named Black Scythe is that strong?’
He has already proven himself by killing four archangels, but he may be stronger than that.
Plunictos clenched his chin in contemplation and soon made a decision.
‘I guess I’ll have to bring the black scythe to the Demon King’s Castle.’
* * *
The red-skinned devil disappears, scattering sulfur powder.
‘The incarnation of Plunictos?’
A little while ago, he pretended not to know in order to provoke, but in fact, Ryumin knew.
How evil the demon Prince Plunicthos is.
‘I’ve heard a glimpse of what NPCs from this world say. The actual person in charge of the Demon World is Plunictos.’
There is bound to be a demon lord in the demon world, but in reality, he is just a facade.
In reality, the person in charge of the demon world was the demon archduke Plunictos.
I even saw him fight an angel in the 18th round, even from afar.
‘This is the guy who sweeps away everyone, whether humans or angels. Even if he is an ally, he cannot be trusted.’
Although it is an ally by reputation, it is by no means on the side of humans.
Knowing this fact, as soon as the guy took out his weapon, he cut off his arm and decapitated him.
‘From what I heard, it looks like you were able to manifest in the other world using the Devil’s Resurrection Book.’
In the process, Mukbang and his Messiah slaves disappeared as sacrifices, but it’s still good.
They were people who were just going to use them and then throw them away anyway.
‘by the way… … .’
Ryumin couldn’t hide his embarrassment as he looked at the message that appeared in front of him.
[The devil’s reputation for the Black Scythe has decreased from ‘Eternal Alliance’ to ‘Very Friendly’.]
‘Just because you kill one Avatar, you immediately go down in level.’
It seems he was hated a lot because he was nothing more than the incarnation of Plunictos.
‘Does not matter. If I hadn’t killed him, his incarnation would have wiped out all the people here, both angels and humans.’
Although the reputation was poor, there were also encouraging messages.
[The incarnation of Plunictos has been defeated.]
[It has been confirmed that the player was the first to kill the Great Supply Demon.]
[Obtain the title ‘He who stands against evil.’]
‘This is my first title. ‘Because I’ve never killed a demon archduke before.’
If you look at it, it’s just a matter of killing the avatar, but it still seems to be treated as such.
Ryu Min, who was curious, immediately opened the information on the title.
