Chapter 438

Episode 438. A rapidly changing world (1)

[The 44th floor of the Tower of Trials.]

Guntaper’s territory… No, the place where it used to be was horribly ruined.

Tadak… Tadak….

The lingering fire that hasn’t been extinguished yet.

As if it had been hit by a nuclear shower. Huge craters were visible everywhere.

And in the middle was a half-destroyed building.

Guntaper’s personal palace.

“What about the damage?”

Guntafer opened his mouth with a nonchalant expression.

Then, the demons standing on the left and right trembled in shock.

It was because the blow was bigger than I imagined, so I didn’t know if I would face the anger as it was if I told it as it was.

But that doesn’t mean you can’t say anything.

One of the demons summoned courage.

“The 15th and 22nd Divisions, which fought the Kraken at first, were destroyed, and in the midst of this, three top-ranking Demons in the Earl class were killed. And later, the Lich Magic Troops…” “I already know roughly the damage to my troops

. It means to report if there is any damage to be done.”

“Yes… Yes! That… The Hellair Crypt has evaporated.”

“…If it’s a crypt, you mean that even the queen was killed?”

“Yes, yes.”

Perpuck!

The head of the demon who was reporting disappeared as it was.

The body, which had lost its head, stumbled and collapsed on its side.

“Damn it…”

Guntafer’s face was distorted.

Stop mass-producing troops again.

However, Hellaire is a high-ranking species that is different from common demons.

Despite its size of up to 5m, it possessed amazing mobility and speed, and even excelled in group combat

.

‘They were absolutely necessary to become a demon one day…’

Since the queen who laid one egg per month died, everything went to waste.

Because of that one guy, Kang Jin-hyeok, not anyone else.

“Hmm. I guess the timing for us wasn’t very good.”

It was then that a new voice intervened.

The godhead on the other side of Guntafer shrugged.

A slim woman with a golden shield and spear.

It was Athena, the goddess of victory who came to the underworld on behalf of Olympus.

Next to her was the god of war, Ares, who was also armed with a similar type.

“Because of family problems, you’ve shown the guests from far away what they shouldn’t see.”

Guntafer lowered his head slightly.

“No. We also saw the situation here and thought it was worth being disturbed.”

“Yeah, he ran really badly. I think that one human did more damage than the whole of Ragnarok.”

The two deities looked around as if they understood.

The word miserable comes out of nowhere.

It was enough to feel that it was the worst disaster that could exist in the tower.

Right then.

Whoops!

The last member of this meeting appeared.

that buck

A rather heavy step.

It was ‘Hasting’, the senior manager.

“…everyone came first.”

however.

Hasting’s appearance was different from usual.

“Hasting-sama, how did you lose your left arm? The scars on your face look pretty big too…”

Gunthafer’s eyebrows curled in a reversed line.

How could a senior manager suffer such a serious injury?

Does that make sense?

No matter how crazy he was, he never attacked a senior manager. There were only a handful of forces that had the ability to do so.

“It doesn’t matter what I look like, everyone, stop paying attention.”

Hastings responded coldly.

A sharp reaction was inevitable.

…because this was the result of all that loyalty.

left arm and right eye.

They were taken by the primeval beings due to repeated failures.

At least his life wasn’t taken, but the loss was too painful to take that as comfort.

‘If I fail one more time, I might really die.’

To this day, the memory of Nyarlathotep cutting off his arm while still alive lingered in his mind.

Hastings swallowed dry saliva and opened his mouth.

“According to information obtained independently, the remnants of Ragnarok made contact with the Egyptian gods.”

“What is that…?”

“Is that true?”

Ares and Athena exclaimed in surprise.

This is because Olympus, who was tracking down the defeated soldiers of Ragnarok, was concerned about their whereabouts.

“It is undeniably true.”

“They went that way…”

“Yes. To join forces.”

“However, the two forces must have had no contact with each other until now? There is no reason for Egypt to accept it, especially if Ragnarok, who has lost its foundation, goes to visit it first.”

There is nothing to be gained, but a situation where only the rest of the forces can be stimulated.

Egypt will never accept an alliance.

but.

Unlike the two deities of Olympus, Guntaper’s thinking went one step further.

“…If a third party hadn’t intervened in the meeting between the two, that would have been the case. Everyone knows, doesn’t he? That guy has always been in the movements of the forces so far.”

Give reasons to ally. You have to assume that you’ve found something that maximizes each other’s strengths.

For example, finding a way to hatch the eggs of an ancient species that Egypt possesses.

furthermore. Right now, when the Demon Realm is in chaos, it must be the best time for him to make a move.

“Isn’t Hasting-sama also looking forward to that and calling us all together?”

“That’s right. I’m also assuming that Kang Jin-hyeok is behind everything.”

“Then, we must step on the seed of the alliance before it fully blooms.”

Guntafer waved his hand lightly.

Roaring!

A succubus with restrained limbs appeared along with the flames.

“Haa… haa…”

Remia let out a heavy breath.

The unfocused pupil constricted and dilated repeatedly.

“Just in time, it’s the humans’ turn to go to the 30th floor.”

The 30th floor has the most unique feature among all the floors that exist in the Tower of Trials.

“We just have to outwit this filthy traitor and use the unique properties of his steps to catch him off guard.”

If the opponent wants to move one step ahead, you just have to move two steps first.

He was confident in any number of fights.

From a low-level demon to becoming a demon king with the title of commander of a corps. Because I have experienced countless wars and intrigues.

* * *

“Twit! Chirp! Chirp!”

I could hear birds chirping under the warm sunlight.

“It’s peaceful.”

Jinhyeok looked at the street full of autumn leaves.

Spending time outside the tower for a long time made everything feel relaxed and relaxed.

Especially when served with warm americano and tiramisu cake.

“Ohhh! What is this? It melts in your mouth.”

Elise’s eyes twinkled.

Crople with plenty of Nutella, which is said to be the devil’s food.

I put vanilla ice cream on top of it, so I can’t help but taste it.

Alice, who had already emptied the 7th plate, set her eyes on the bread filled with cream puffs and red beans. Adding a handful of macarons is a bonus.

“Everything’s good, but if you eat like that, you’ll end up rolling around?”

“Did you tell Jim?”

“Yeah. A vampire that can’t fly, isn’t it a bit sad?”

“Heh! What do you mean by Jim? No matter how much Jim eats, he can maintain a slim body.”

Elise proudly shrugged.

Hmm…

well.

“Apart from that, it seems that Jiji is saying goodbye here?”

Jinhyeok stabbed Alice in the stomach with a spoon.

The white flesh moved softly.

“Uh, how dare you…! Huh? Really. No, when did Jim get fat…”

Elise hurriedly ran to the mirror.

Then he staggered back with a shocked expression on his face.

“Would you like more chocolate? I heard that the boss’s recommended menu is to sprinkle with candy powder?”

“Register, contractor… Jim, chicken breast salad and cherry tomatoes, please.”

“What about the dressing?”

“Blood… I don’t need it. It’s a luxury.”

Elise lowered her head with a face that had lost everything in the world.

Looking at it like this, it’s pretty cool.

Speaking of weight, I should have gained 1 kg or not, but I felt as if I was genuinely shocked by what he said jokingly.

Right then.

“Huh. Unlike you, you know a pretty cool cafe.”

“I was late to come because the road was so blocked. I’m sorry.”

Chun Yoo-seong and Teresa entered the café.

black and beige.

The two of them, wearing fancy long coats, could be believed to be movie stars.

“Wow…”

“Look at that. It’s Cheon Yuseong. That Sword Saint.”

“So handsome, my God…”

“The real thing was real. The real thing.”

“There’s also Teresa. She’s a popular figure that’s hard to meet unless you’re on View Tube.”

“Come to think of it, aren’t they all members of the Inmul Corporation over there?”

A commotion broke out in the cafe.

With so many attention-grabbing popular people gathered, of course words come out.

“It will be difficult to hold a meeting comfortably like this.”

“Or should we move? There must be a quieter place…” ”

No, this is perfect. Wait a minute, hey. Wait a minute?”

Jinhyeok hurriedly stopped the two who were about to get up.

If you leave here, everything will be for nothing.

“It’s filthy suspicious… What the hell are you doing?”

“It’s a trick. I’m just innocent…”

Jinhyeok said, checking his watch.

It’s almost time to come….

at that moment.

Wheein!

With the sound of a spaceship taking off, white sports cars approached the cafe and started to park one after another.

Porsche Taycan Turbo S models.

Sreung!

Chun Yuseong drew his sword halfway.

“You’d better choose carefully what you say from now on. What are all those cars?”

If you really say one word wrong, you’ll end up getting stabbed in a cafe.

“Haha… Well, there are some sponsors coming in from the other company. They said they would give you a car for free if you show our members getting in the car.”

“So… the reason we came this far was simply to promote the car?”

“It’s not always like that. Yooseong-ah? Ouch! You got stabbed. You say you’re bleeding?”

Jinhyuk took a step back.

“This is what the president of the association also asked for. Crab, and you decided to provide the items needed to clear the 30th floor?”

“Han Sang-jin, president of the association?”

The blade fell slightly from his neck.

It seemed like there was room for a little conversation thanks to the medical student who was thorough with Jang Yoo-Yuseo.

“Yeah. Anyway, I was supposed to come back a little later. Anyway, did I accept that offer out of self-interest?”

“So, you mean just taking pictures?”

“That, that… To be honest, I need to do a little more.”

Jinhyeok took out the costume he received from the other party.

A racing car needs clothes that match it.

Among the Goinmul Corporation, Chun Yoo-seong, Teresa, and Elise must wear this outfit. .

” Just. Die.”

“I’m going to cut it. Mr. Jinhyeok.”

“Wow, to wear such a shameful thing. It’s a disgrace to the Ataraxia family!”

This time

, the anger of the three

went

straight to Jinhyeok.

It wasn’t reporters who wanted to cover the corporation,

it wasn’t Han Sang-jin who decided to come,

a black suit with sunglasses,

and a black cross on his white gloves, in contrast.
