00904 All That Glitters Is Not Gold, Three. ————————————————– ———————-=
Quang!
– uh?
Suddenly, a loud noise broke out that pierced the eardrums, and Hwajeong let out a startled voice.
-This power… .
After hearing the doubtful sound, I looked towards the place where I heard the explosion, and momentarily frowned. The Knights of Obello, who were moving around the battlefield without hesitation, are scattering raindrops in the air. My whole body was in shambles, as if I had just been hit by the source of the noise.
– Kim Soohyun!
Hwajeong’s voice became urgent. I held Eldora in my left hand and drove Excalibur deep into the ground with my right hand. Then he quickly took out his sword and took a stance.
I don’t know why a message saying that Excalibur recognizes me as the owner doesn’t appear, but I don’t have time to think deeply.
There were a total of fifteen energies approaching at a speed approaching rapidity. They are approaching me from all four directions, north, south, east and west, as if flying. At first glance, it seemed scary, but at the same time, it was a familiar energy, no, it was malice.
After a while.
Dozens of rising shadows suddenly invade as if surrounding them.
“Oh dear. “What were you doing?”
The first thing that came into view was Astaroth jumping down while spitting out slurred words.
“oh? “What kind of shameless thing am I doing?”
Lilith, who landed second, fluttered her bat wings and slightly twisted her body in a coquettish manner.
Soon, Baal, Lucifer, Beelzebub, Asmodeus, as well as the 14 demon lords and two or three users.
… No, you’re not a user, are you?
“Hmm, Melinus… .”
Eldora, who was being held in my hand, muttered in a tearful voice.
It’s Melinus. She looks like an old woman, but her third eye is said to be Belial.
Suddenly, I felt like I knew a little bit about the circumstances of the southern continent’s crossing.
I slowly looked around, checked everything one by one, and then took a deep breath.
Finally, the great demons appeared.
“… … .”
… But why?
I wasn’t expecting anything like a big show. But his heart is terribly quiet, without even a single pounding. Should I just say it’s a calm feeling that something is coming?
My head is so cold.
Is it an effect of the mind’s eye? Or is it because I predicted it would come out anyway?
No, neither.
The source of such a quiet mind and body is confidence. A confidence that will not be defeated by anyone. In fact, didn’t they just overwhelmingly defeat Eldorado, who had a huge reputation in the first round?
There are no exceptions. Even if the opponent is an archdemon, no, I am even more confident if it is a demon.
Why?
Because I have lived in this hole plane for fourteen years, looking only at these guys.
“User Kim Soo-hyun.”
at that time,
“Out of respect, I would like to greet you first.”
I felt the presence of someone calmly walking out.
“I am Lucifer, also known as the Fallen Angel… . Oh, you already know?”
Lucifer said, bowing politely with one hand on his chest. Then he slightly raises his head and smiles softly.
“Anyway, if you don’t mind, I’d like to talk to you for a moment.”
“story?”
“yes. Wouldn’t it be much better to resolve the issue through dialogue rather than continuing this meaningless war?”
“Hoo.”
I barely suppressed the thought of snorting for a moment. Her attitude is polite, and her voice is still sweet and seductive. If it were me in the past who knew nothing, I might have been tempted.
“Conversation… . It’s good. No, there’s nothing you can’t do.”
“yes?”
“As long as you accept two conditions.”
“what?”
Astaroth roared. But Lucifer quickly raised his hands and slowly straightened his back.
“yes. “I will listen.”
“first. As of the current time, all Southern Continent users will leave the battlefield.”
“It’s not difficult. “What about the second?”
“This is simple too. After fulfilling the first condition, you will quietly enter the castle. Let’s talk leisurely there. how is it?”
The moment I finished speaking, I heard Lilith laughing.
Lucifer didn’t laugh. He just quietly stared at me, then suddenly narrowed his eyes and smiled bitterly.
“You didn’t intend to talk in the first place.”
“Oh, the negotiations have collapsed?”
“No, not yet. Think about it. Why did so many users turn away from angels? “Isn’t it worth listening to at least once?”
“Oh, if you’re talking about the duality of angels, don’t worry.”
“… yes?”
“Let’s deal with you guys first, then them…” .”
As I deliberately blurted out the words, agitation spread across Lucifer’s face for the first time.
In the end, I couldn’t hold back and burst out laughing. Because it felt strange. I can’t believe those arrogant bastards lowered their stance and made such a suggestion. Are you saying they treat you differently?
“If you knew that, we wouldn’t have to fight, right?”
“There is a saying that the enemy of your enemy is your friend. But not you.”
“There was some misunderstanding… .”
“no. The angels are in a position to protect the Zero Code, but you need it, right? That’s why it can’t be done.”
Lucifer closed his mouth at those words.
I giggled and then stabbed the sword into Eldora’s back. Then the slippery flesh split to the left and right, and my whole body started shaking and saying, “Ahh!” A terminal scream erupted. Originally, I was thinking of using it as a meat shield, but it didn’t seem like it would work… .
The devils’ reaction was certainly calm. It hesitated for a moment, but that was all. It didn’t move carelessly. To them, Eldo is nothing more than a tool. I won’t really care if I die or not.
Anyway, just in case, after creating a large magical explosion inside, I threw away the limp Eldora like throwing away trash.
There is a quiet silence.
The opponent did not take any action while holding Excalibur with his free left hand. However, the growing hostility more than foretells what will happen soon.
I slowly raised my mana and quickly resolved the situation.
First of all, the great devils who appear here are six out of seven, and Satan is not visible. And a total of nine Demon Lords, including three users who blossomed from seeds, appeared.
There are two questions that arise from these two facts.
One is, where is Satan?
Another thing is that one of the 14 remaining demon lords is not visible.
As far as I know, there are a total of four demonic monarchs who have been extinct so far: Mephistopheles, Mammon, Pluton, and Proserpina. Then there should be ten, but only nine are visible.
It’s not just this.
The only ones that appear on the battlefield are demons, and the presence of demons cannot be seen or felt.
In fact, it felt strange from the first time I encountered the southern continent. If you were planning on risking your life and death in this war, why didn’t you fight together from the beginning? Why did the Southern Continent coincidentally appear right before its defeat?
I don’t know what they’re planning.
If there’s just one thing that bothers me from earlier,
“Hmph~. Hmm~”
A woman humming quietly while wearing a robe that is large compared to her body size. She can’t even read information with her third eye.
– It’s Thanatos.
That moment,
“Thanatos?”
I was so surprised that I blurted out the words without realizing it.
“oh?”
Almost at the same time, the other person also let out a weak exclamation.
“Did you know?”
When the hood was pulled back, a beautiful woman with long black hair and wide-open eyes was revealed.
He stared at me for a while, then suddenly clapped his hands and smiled broadly.
“ah! I see~. That’s right. If they are of the same level, I might be able to sense it. Still, I hid it because I said I would, but I guess I used too much force when dealing with those strange guys earlier. Hi-Hi!”
He speaks to himself, nods to himself, and smiles innocently. Although he looked like a bright, wrinkle-free child, I did not let down my guard. Although I was excited, my stomach quickly sank.
Before.
I’ve had that happen once before.
At that time, I was constantly worried about Thanatos and asked him persistent questions, and Hwajeong dismissed him as a dangerous crazy bitch. I don’t know, but I’m sure he won’t be someone you take lightly.
Well, when was the last time you had an easy time dealing with a demon?
Unless Satan is a fool, he would have recognized the disadvantages of the devil camp, so if he had unlocked Thanatos, it would not be impossible to understand. In other words, should we say that it is a kind of secret weapon?
When I thought about that, I burst out laughing. I think it helped that I decided to keep the appearance of Thanatos in mind at that time.
“Oh, are you laughing?”
At that moment, Thanatos screamed sharply. His eyes blink cutely, and then his face suddenly contorts like a vicious beast. He’s such a crazy bitch.
“Why are you smiling? “It’s not a situation worth laughing at.”
“If you think about it.”
Interrupting Thanatos, I opened my mouth softly.
“You always did that.”
“… … ?”
“Yeah, it’s always been that way. When things seemed to be going well, he always showed up and tried to disrupt things in some way. “It’s so shocking.”
“I think that’s what we would rather say.”
Lucifer narrowed his brows, perhaps because the remark was a bit unexpected.
“… By the way, am I mistaken if it sounds like I was somehow expecting this situation?”
I grinned.
Well, I got bullied a few times, but of course I did it.
“I bet you didn’t do it.”
After speaking mockingly, he crossed his two swords and raised them. And he said.
“Area Declared.”
—————————= Review of the work ——————– ——-=
haha… .
Uh, um. First of all, I’m sorry. The reason I included a warning yesterday was not because I ignored readers’ resistance to resistance, but because of a comment a reader made during the scene where Natalie was hanged. ‘You don’t put warnings these days.’ He said this, and as soon as I saw it, I thought, Oh my gosh.
Noblesse has many readers. Of course, there are readers who can read the enumeration or yesterday’s content without difficulty, but I thought that there were also cases where the opposite was true. No, actually, I knew about it, but I forgot about it at some point, and I think this is something I need to reflect on. Therefore, I would greatly appreciate it if you could consider that yesterday’s skip recommendation was only for a small number of readers. _(__)_
And to CheonXXbloodXX.
Q1) Are you a writer? Even when Gong Chan-ho and another user had a fight, he used an unused deteriorated sword,
Sol ) The fact that Kim Soo-hyun used a thermal sword at that time doesn’t mean much. Of course, he could have fought in other ways, but he only used it in response to Eldora’s ability, ‘Show Yourself, El Dorado.’ However, Kim Soo-hyun’s goal in this battle was not to simply kill Eldora, but to show an overwhelming defeat and shock the southern continent camp. In other words, he only chose one of several fighting methods, but it cannot be said that he gave his best.
Q2) Also, please explain why Eldora’s power was at the expected numerical value.
It’s simple. Kim Soo-hyun’s expected power of Eldora is 1. Third eye 2. The point when the present transitions from the fourth year to the fifth year. You can think of it as being calculated based on these two facts. In the past, there was a part with the theme of ‘the users in this episode are of a lower level than in the first episode.’ El Dorado will be no exception. Moreover, it doesn’t have a sheath, so it wouldn’t have been that difficult to expect that it would be weaker than the first time.
I hope this is a sufficient answer. 🙂
