Chapter 138: Walpurgis Night (5)
Chapter 138: Walpurgis Night (5)
The solidly stacked spells collapsed from the ground and were robbed of control, and the mana that had flowed ferociously like a tidal wave calmly subsided and lost its power. With the help of Ban Hye-young and Cha Si-hyun, it had been 10 minutes since they tried to take control of the magic circle. In that short amount of time, he had already taken over 80%!
‘That's awful…’ Kang Yoo-sik made a bewildered expression at the scene unfolding in front of him. He thought that with the help of Ban Hye-young and Cha Si-hyun, he could easily dispel the magic circle in the rear, but he never imagined that it would be this fast.
‘The adjuster is really a fraud….’ Ban Hye-young, who grasped the structure of the magic circle in an instant and calculated it backwards, was also Ban Hye-young, but Cha Si-hyun’s ability to smoothly coordinate the process so that the enemy did not get caught was also formidable. If she hadn't been here, it would have taken her three times as long.
‘I really need to look into it properly next time.’
As for the bankruptcy rating, it wasn’t properly used before returning, so the adjuster needed to look into it properly. When Kang Yoo-sik was determined like that, Ban Hye-young, who was adjusting the magic circles that interlocked like cogs on her, narrowed her eyes. "Found it."
“Really?"
“Huh. I tried to hide it with a bit of effort, but this is enough…”
“Si-hyun. Give me a backup.”
"All right."
The two worked together to destroy the magic circle, and after a while, a faint pattern appeared on the iron door. And the pattern gradually became clearer, and the moment when magic power gathered at one point. Clank—
With the sound of something engaging, the light disappeared at once. The inside of the cave turned dark in an instant. Kang Yoo-sik looked at Ban Hye-young at the sight he had seen before her return. "Braided."
A ball of pure white light appeared from her hand. The core of the magic circle that protected the holy relic. She had succeeded in taking full control of it and pulling it out! “Can I use it?” “Of course. See….” Ban Hye-young, who was examining her beads, lightly pressed one part with her finger and then slid beside her. Slowly, the iron door, which had been firmly closed, opened gently as if welcoming the owner, revealing a passageway that glowed softly in blue light. Originally, the magic inside had to attack as soon as it was opened, but all of them were nullified as the core was seized.
“How is it?"
Kang Yoo-sik smiled at Ban Hye-young’s question. “Perfect. Both of you worked really hard.”
“Hmmmm!”
“It’s an overstatement.” Ban Hye-young was elated and understanding, and Cha Si-hyun was slightly shy. Seeing that, Kang Yoo-sik smiled and looked at her hallway. “Then let’s go in.”
The three of them went straight into the hallway, and after a while, another door appeared. Unlike the rough iron door outside, it was a splendid door with the image of a devil embossed on it. The back door of the warehouse where the holy relics were kept appeared.
“Open.” When he manipulated the core, the door opened gently, revealing the scenery inside the warehouse. A huge magic circle on the ground emitting blue light and two altars built at its center. Dozens of manastones were embedded around it, supplying power to the magic circle, and all of them seemed to be of higher grade or higher.
‘It was just a waste of money.’ To think he was using magic stones like that just to show off his strength today. Of course, if it was successful, it would be worth it, but she is just wasting the money she came in for.
‘I’ll have to take care of this too.’ Kang Yoo-sik looked at Ban Hye-young with a satisfied expression at the new side income.
“Can I just go in?”
“Huh. I turned everything off, so no problem.” Kang Yoo-sik nodded at Ban Hye-yoong's story and moved toward the altar. On the altar, the sacred relics ambitiously prepared by Tacheon's revelation were placed without any device, and Kang Yoo-sik carefully inspected them without touching them. A box that scattered soft golden light and a small crown that seemed to be made of golden light. Holy relic, S-class equipment Aaron Hebrew and Corona Perea.
At the two treasures in front of his eyes, Kang Yoo-sik raised the corner of his mouth without realizing it. He said, ‘To eat these two raw like this…. … .’
Who in the world could have imagined a situation like this. Kang Yoo-sik was smiling at the holy relic that would soon come into his hands. Ban Hye-yeong, who was looking around her core from behind her, narrowed her eyes. "Hey. They are fighting over there.”
"Yes?"
“Look." As Ban Hye-yeong tapped her core, a blue screen rose in the air, and after a while, an interior appeared where a fierce battle was taking place.
Wow! It was a wolf's body in a snake's tail. And the gigantic demon with an owl-like head drew in a breath, and a haze rose around it, boiling the heat. And the moment the purple chest lights flashed in both eyes and the beak opened toward the front.
Quaggagak!
Violet sparks shot out, sweeping across the aisle. A terrifying flame that melts defensive rites activated in succession and melted the entire area. Seeing how powerful the heat was, the other demons nearby also twisted their eyes and stepped back, and Kang Yoo-sik saw the sight and opened his eyes wide.
‘Amon?’
It was no wonder that a guy who ranked among the top five in terms of combat power appeared in Pandaemonium. Kang Yoo-sik was watching Amon spewing out flames with a surprised expression.
Chew! Black shadows shot through the flames.
Kwaaang! Amon cut off the flames from the attack from the other side and dodged to the side, and the figure of the enemy appeared in the burning passage. Two sleek black demons with limbs sharpened like blades. And two demons that were like shadows that seem to be united.
Kang Yoo-sik, who discovered two pairs of demons that were similar like twins, widened his eyes. “Stop, sir! Please zoom in on those guys.”
"Yes? Okay." Kang Yoo-sik's urgent cry made Ban Hye-young look at it incredulously, but adjusted the screen to see the four demons in more detail. Kang Yoo-sik, who was looking at her, randomly searched her past memories with her memory map, and after a while, a few things came to mind.
(Direct escort of the Black Dragon Lord)
(Black Demon Corps)
The shadows that always moved together as the direct escort of the Black Dragon Lord. The guys called Black Demons appeared in the passage. ‘What happened?’
To say it was a coincidence, it was the same as in the memory, and his ability was the same. Kang Yoo-sik calmly shook his head to understand her situation at the sight that unfolded before his eyes. ‘On the night of Walpurgis, which was unreasonably led by Lucifer, four of the six Black Demons, the direct escorts of the Black Dragon Lord, appeared.’
This fact told them one thing. It was said that the breath of the Black Dragon Lord was very deep even inside the revelation of the Fallen Heaven. ‘Beatrice… … It's most likely unrelated. If that's the case, there's no way I'd be so indifferent this time.'
It was more correct to assume that Lucifer, one of the apostles, had something to do with him, rather than the entire revelation of the Fallen being his affiliated organ. And the reason why he supported the Dark Demons this time was to prevent Lucifer's influence from diminishing within the Revelation of the Fallen. Kang Yoo-sik, suddenly faced with a fact he had never known before returning, looked at the screen in front of him with a trembling expression.
Koo Goo Goo!
Black Demons fighting fierce battles with demons led by Amon. In terms of power alone, Amon had the advantage, but when they fought using the spells installed under the black demons at the right time, it flowed evenly. ‘I was told that the Black Dragon Master is a top-notch demon… It's almost like a catastrophe if you look at its fighting power?'
Even compared to Nemea, the executive officer of the revelation of Fallen Heaven, who was on the verge of evolving into a catastrophic level, he was superior. Kang Yoo-sik watched the battle with a strange expression at the incomprehensible fighting power.
Kagaga River!
The blade-like Mine constantly parried off the attacks, and when a bold blow came from time to time, the shadow-like creatures swallowed it up and then vomited it up again. As if they were made of one body, the two pairs of demons were in sync, and in that perfect connection, Amon's forces were not able to gain the upper hand and were even pushed back.
As Kang Yoo-sik continued to watch the unbelievable results, one thing was captured in the field of view created by the combination of the sword soul and maximization of cognition.
Awesome! Among the Dark Demons, the demon whose limbs changed into blades, and the right shoulder of one of the Sword Demons was cut by the demon's nails. Immediately after that, he quickly recovered with his regenerative power and continued the battle, but Kang Yoo-sik witnessed the scene that took place at that moment. It was not the Sword Demon who was attacked, but the Sword Demon who fought on the other side. The guy's right shoulder twitched for an instant.
‘Indeed. Did that happen…?’
He understood why she had the same appearance as a twin, and why even though she was said to be a top-level demon, she displayed a fighting power close to that of a disaster-level demon. Kang Yoo-sik, who had a rough grasp of the situation in front of her and the enemy's troops, thought about how to move her.
‘All the underground magic circles are in control, and the other side doesn’t notice us.’
In addition, the forces that were said to be the best in the underworld had gathered together, and they were fighting against the black demons of the Black Dragon Lord. Kang Yoo-sik, who was chewing on the situation, twisted his mouth. ‘I was a bit concerned that only the revelation of Tacheon was ruined… … There is a solution like this.’
If failing alone was the problem, then shouldn’t everyone do it together!? After examining all the plans that came to his mind, Kang Yoo-sik looked at Ban Hye-young with a smile.
"Teacher. I’m afraid to go, so shall we go play lightly?”
Understanding Kang Yoo-sik's meaning, Ban Hye-young grinned. “Then it’s fine for me.”
“How about Sihyun Cha?”
“I will follow Kang Yoo-sik’s opinion.”
Unanimous. Looking at the screen again, Kang Yoo-sik smiled and took out money from his pocket. “Then, let’s play a little bit and then go.”
It was now time to unleash the Great Depression of the underworld.
* * *
The first one to notice the abnormality was the Black Demon.
[This… … ]
Originally, the defensive technique that should have blocked the front was activated to the side, and as a result, only his movement was disturbed and he was injured. Seeing the wound in his chest that was healing, the sword ghost asked the black shadow, the young ghost, with a puzzled expression while fighting the demons. [What happened?]
[The activation itself was normal. The cause… … I don't know.]
The Sword then frowned at the young ghost's answer. Could it be that she interfered with the magic ceremony from the other side? However, if he exerted his influence to that extent, there was no way they would not have noticed. When all members of the Dark Demon were in a panic over an unexpected situation.
[What… … ?!]
A faint aura felt beyond the enemies. Black Demon's eyes widened at the sight, and Amon, who noticed it later, turned his head away in surprise. Then, a pure white meteor appeared from the aisle.
Kwaaaaang!!!
The moment the meteor hit…
With a huge explosion, flashes of light exploded throughout the aisle, and shockwaves shook the surroundings. A blow powerful enough to make even the scruff of a cataclysmic monster go cold!
Amon, who quickly regained sight from that devastating blow, looked around. “Keugh… … Suddenly….”
“Help me….”
The target, a disaster-class demon, suffered a huge hole in her chest and vomited blood, while the top-class demons caught in the explosion suffered burns and groaned. The power alone was terrifying, but there was a real problem.
[What kind of bastard!!]
He couldn’t see the enemy who attacked me anywhere. At the mess, Amon screamed with his face distorted viciously, and the Dark Demons who saw it exchanged glances. He didn’t know what happened but now was his chance. Black demons with twinkling eyes rushed at the bewildered enemies and mercilessly attacked them.
“Aww!”
“Don’t look away and stop it quickly!”
“Prepare for sniping!”
The demons panicked and fought against the invisible enemy and the Black Demons' offensive that penetrated through the gaps, and Amon's eyes flashed.
[These scumbags!!]
No matter how one were to look at it, the enemy's sniper was clear. Amon, who burst into anger, responded vigorously by spitting out flames, and the Dark Demons also fought desperately. Ugh “Oh, it’s coming!”
“Prepare everything!”
The energy that I feel somewhere again. The demons who were wary of the surroundings shouted in panic, and the Black Demons attacked more fiercely to seize this opportunity. And again, Meteor appeared inside the battlefield.
Whoo!
[Uh.]
It fell toward the young ghost sitting in the rear. Kwaaaang—!
A white flash again filled the passageway, and as the light faded away, parts of the passageway were shattered to reveal themselves.
[That… … Uh… … .]
[Kuh… … Kuk… … .]
The spirit with 80% of its body blown away was trembling and crushed on the ground, and the spirit on the other side also flinched as its body melted. The side effects of resonating with each other's bodies and raising their power to a catastrophic level were revealed. A clue appeared to end the sluggish battlefield, and it was nothing short of a golden opportunity for Amon.
[…]
[… .]
[… … .]
However, neither the demons under Amon nor the Black Demons moved hastily. They realized that invisible snipers were aiming at everyone present.
Who? Where? How?
A lot of questions popped into their heads, but they couldn't come up with a way to counteract them. Kwaaang! Quaang! Woooo!!
In the meantime, the meteors that had flown in from time to time poured down without a break, as if they had made up their minds at all, scattering flames, lightning, wind, and ice, and gnawed at the two powers at random.
“Stop! I mean stop it!”
[Prepare your defense… … !]
Now they didn’t even have time to deal with each other. The two forces desperately blocked the attack against the indiscriminate bombardment, and Amon, who was resisting by spitting out flames, clenched his teeth and shouted.
[Retreat!]
He gritted his teeth at the fact that he was being treated one-sidedly, but if he was more stubborn here, he might really be swept away. Amon, realizing that he could not do anything about the topography, desperately fled, and so did the Dark Demons.
[Retreat to the rear!]
If it was a warehouse where the holy relic was stored, they should be able to protect themselves from sniping. Seeing that Amon had retreated, the Sword Demon took the dying spirit in his arms and immediately retreated toward the warehouse.
Then there was the main gate that spewed vicious magic. It was a frightening sight to others, but to them, it was a safety shield to protect themselves. The moment the sword demons thought they had finally escaped reached out to the door…
Suddenly, a scene passed through their minds.
[No way… … .]
A defense technique that was suddenly and abnormally activated. Only then did the Sword Demon, who realized the whole situation, hurriedly step back with a shocked expression on his face.
Keying-! The magic circle at the front gate spewed out a huge frenzy.
Kwagagagak!! The black demons were swept away by the light and completely annihilated without leaving a single bone fragment. After a while, the door slowly opened and Kang Yoo-sik peeked out. “Write. I guess I should have done it in moderation.”
Even if only part of the body was left, it would have been a good research material. It was a bit disappointing, but he had already achieved his goal, so there was nothing bad about it. Half of them were swept away and crippled, and the demons hurriedly escaped, and the annihilated Black Demons.
Kang Yoo-sik looked at the two with a satisfied expression at the result he had created. “Now run away.”
After Kang Yoo-sik and his party quickly left. Beatrice, who came downstairs to go upstairs with the holy relic, stared blankly at the scene in front of her.
Neither the holy relic nor the escorts that Lucifer brought were in sight. All that remained was a devastated passageway and an empty altar. At the scene, the attendants' faces turned pale, and Beatrice smiled involuntarily. “It’s a big deal.”
Walpurgis Night was held in haste to make up for public opinion. The day had come to be called the worst day when the two holy relics ended up getting stolen.
