Lerajie frowned.
“The update is late.”
The new enemies who appeared. They seemed to be quite strong. It’s because they have reduced their scouts by as much as 200,000.
But there was a clear limit to their strategy.
He believed that sending his favorite demon king and 400,000 troops was enough and no longer thought more about it. He didn’t think the enemy needed his full attention.
He couldn’t leave his place because of Gremory’s fissure as well.
But…
‘Was it a mistake?’
By now, the news of their victory should have reached him.
They should have brought the heads of their enemies already.
But they didn’t come back. No signs of victory or defeat.
It was ridiculous to even think that the strongest scout team would have been massacred. If their enemies had been such overwhelming power, they wouldn’t have continuously lost by a small margin.
And if that was the case, Lerajie would have taken matters in his own right away.
‘The battle seems to be taking place longer than I thought.’
Lerajie got up. His calculations couldn’t be wrong.
Lerajie had the ‘eyes that saw through wars’.
When war broke out, he was able to calculate all the variables.
And he had already assumed that there would be some intervention.
That’s why it was decided that 400,000 scouts were enough.
His calculation was correct. It could not be wrong.
This was true as long as his opponent didn’t have more experience in ‘battle’ than him.
But no one was like that. Lerajie was not called the ‘Demon King of War’ for no reason.
At least in terms of war, he was special. He was the one who lived and breathed on the battlefield.
It was correct to think that the enemy’s rebellion had become more intense.
“I’ll increase the speed to break open Gremory’s Fissure.”
Lerajie has decided. He was going to get Gremory out.
He was also sick and tired of sitting here all day. He wanted to get things done as quickly as possible and have a real “war”.
As Gremory was on a level of the strongest leader of the opposing party, it would be a great battle.
“If we do, the demons that supply the power will not survive.”
Some demons said worriedly.
All that was needed to open the fissure was the pure magic of some special demons.
In other words, their colleagues.
Lerajie used their magic to find the ‘gate’ in the crack.
They were already pushed to their limits as far that their lives were deteriorating.
But Lerajie didn’t care.
“It is reasonable to sacrifice to pay for the greater good. Increasing the time it takes to open the fissure just increases the variables.”
There were many variables.
Now, the opposing party could have gathered and there was also the possibility of Diablo’s appearance. Gremory could have made another move.
There were 700,000 fewer troops, Lerajie now only had 1.5 million.
It was a number that would make things easy for him.
But, although it was a very low probability, what if the 700,000 soldiers were wiped out?
Now it was hard for Lerajie to move on his own.
Rather, it was better to get Gremory fast and plan his next move.
“At this rate, it will take about 65 days to bring out that Gremory bitch. I will reduce the time needed. I will open the fissure today.”
Although it would be a stretch, he was going to open the fissure today.
In order to save 65 days, he thought that about 50,000 demons were needed.
But he is was successful in making a surprise attack in a day, he would have more to gain than 50,000 demons he would lose.
In the meantime, he needed to take his time to get things done properly in order to change the situation.
Lerajie’s ‘eyes’ were telling him that this war had to end quickly.
The gap in his number of troops, and the possibility of another ‘intervener’.
His subordinates became quiet. Lerajie’s words were absolute.
He was never wrong.
“What we need is victory! Creation of a new world! As Baal leads us, we must not lose for our prosperity!”
Lerajie exclaimed.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
The demons stomped their weapons on the floor.
And threw themselves towards the fissure.
“Don’t be afraid of sacrifice! Only victory is significant!”
He existed to win.
His role was to pave the way for infinite glory.
Lerajie took out the bow.
An enormous artifact.
It was ‘Inferno’, the strongest bow in the Underworld that only Lerajie could use.
He pulled the arrow. Then instead of an arrow, a huge amount of magic began to gather.
Swooooosh!
The force that burns and penetrates everything would produce a powerful effect even if it was a fissure. If they were to combine Lerajie and the lives of 50,000 and their magical powers, they would be able to break the fissure itself.
‘Gremory, you won’t be able to hide any longer.’
Lerajie’s eyes glistened.
If he opened the gate and took Gremory’s head, no more variables would be created.
Thud.
Soon after, Lerajie released his arrow.
The power-intensive black energy penetrated the space.
And when it touched the fissure.
Boooooooooooooom!
With a heavy sound, it distorting the ‘space’ itself.
The noise-filled fissure was soon filled with black magical powers, and the area gradually expanded.
Soon after, the background of the fissure began to change.
A pitch-black world. There were several huge castles.
Numerous demons were spreading their wings while looking at Lerajie.
At the center, she was there.
The only female demon god.
Gremory!
“She’s still beautiful.”
Lerajie smiled and said.
In fact, many were fascinated by her beauty and her aura.
You could say that the majority of the opposing party had a crush on her.
Demon gods in love.
It was a word that really did not suit them.
“You’re rude.”
With a slightly restless look, Gremory finally spoke.
Just listening to the voice made his knees weak. If god created her, the greatest amount of effort seemed to be spent on her creation.
But Lerajie was the Demon God of War. He had only existed for war. The charms of a woman had no effect on him.
“Today will be the last day you will hide like a rat. Gremory! If you don’t want to leave an embarrassing result, you will have to do your best to fight against me.”
“Lerajie, Baal cannot bring us back to the promised land. Baal has no power to revive the land that is already full of death. In the end, it’s just a hopeless hope.”
Lerajie frowned. His huge body trembled.
“Shut up. Baal is almighty. Also, we have evolved. As a real god! It’s time to go back. I don’t need this ‘fake world’ anymore!”
Gremory had a pitiful expression.
“I think it’s not me that’s living in a dream, but you.”
It was like a dream. Lerajie was so blind.
Words wouldn’t go through to him.
Gremory bit her lips. The power of seduction did not work against him.
Head to head. The odds were infinitely low for her.
“We will take the lead.”
Under Gremory’s command, 26 demon kings fought.
26 demon kings and 26 demon corps were Gremory’s greatest power.
However, there were 38 demon kings under Lerajie.
“Gremory, you planned your own death.”
Lerajie lifted his bow.
About 20% of his magical powers were lost when he forcibly opened the fissure, but it was enough to fight against Gremory.
The ‘eye of war’ judged his odds winning were 100%.
A perfect win!
There was no way he would lose.
By looking at the number and the quality of their army and the natural powers they had as a demon god, it was obvious that Lerajie was much superior.
Gremory was not a combat demon god. Their synastry was also not good. All she could do was temporarily stop Lerajie’s movements.
“Let’s play!”
Lerajie smiled.
Clash!
The moment he took a huge step, a loud sound was created.
But it wasn’t a sound created by Lerajie.
It is the sound of something crashing and bursting from a very far distance.
‘This?’
As Lerajie turned his head, he noticed that from hundreds of miles away, a giant life form was running towards them at a tremendous speed.
It was as if a huge island was moving. Relatively, there was only one living thing that gave this much presence and this much energy.
“…Sky Lord.”
Gremory spoke.
She also sensed something coming.
However, unlike Lerajie, she did not only sense “Sky Lord”.
Clash! Boom! Vrroom!
Sounds of explosions were continuously heard. The ground shook. Now the explosion could be confirmed with their eyes.
But with the explosion, the scent of someone’s magical powers was very familiar.
Soon when the subject came close, Gremory’s eyes shook slightly.
“He is…”
“I don’t believe it.”
The demon kings under Gremory’s command have also noticed.
Two pairs of grey wings!
“Gremory, you seem to know something about him.”
Lerajie spoke. He was extremely upset for some outsiders to intervene with their battle.
Gremory calmed her trembling eyes and turned to Lerajie.
And said.
“Introduction is late. he is…”
Honestly, she didn’t expect much.
When she asked him to collect the Fragments of the Fissure, she was grasping at straws.
But she didn’t really think he would become so powerful, bringing even the Sky Lord.
Gremory continued to speak.
“He’s the Demon King of the 27th Legion, ‘Demon King of the Ash Gray’, Muyoung.”
Clench!
Lerajie grounded his teeth.
***
Muyoung had made a conclusion.
That Sky Lord was very hard to tame.
It was not going to be done in a day or two.
‘It can’t be helped.’
But there was an achievement.
Sky Lord ate all 400,000 demons by itself.
Although it just swallowing what was in the way of it chasing Muyoung, its effect was amazing.
The problem was the next part.
As expected, Sky Lord’s movements slowed down a bit, but it was difficult to suppress it.
‘Even if I succeed, it would take too long for me to recover.’
From now on, it was a race against time.
Especially if Gremory loses, it would be the end.
If he was to put too much power over the suppressing Sky Lord, he wouldn’t be able to fight with Lerajie.
Muyoung concluded.
‘I will go to where Lerajie is like this.’
Of course, it would be if everything goes as he expected, but sometimes he needed to respond quickly to a situation.
And for now, this was the best move.
Not having Muyoung’s suppress it but having Lerajie do it!
IT would be the best result for Muyoung if he did very little but gained all the benefits.
Graaaahhhhh!
As Sky Lord couldn’t catch Muyoung, he let out a cry before he created a lot of tentacles to attack Muyoung.
Muyoung sometimes fought back and flew quickly while maintaining a reasonable distance.
So after a few hours of struggling, he was able to reach the camp Lerajie was at.
‘I’ve arrived in the nick of time.’
But something unexpected had happened.
He never expected the gate of the fissure would break open and Gremory would be exposed.
The war has not started yet but he felt like it would start real soon.
Muyoung speeded up even more.
At that time, his eyes met Gremory’s.
“Introduction is late. he is…”
Gremory’s eyes trembled subtly.
As if she didn’t know that Muyoung would arrive at this time.
No, she seemed to be in shock from the appearance of a man who she had no expectations and didn’t cross her mind at all.
Gremory continued to introduce Muyoung.
“He’s the Demon King of the 27th Legion, ‘Demon King of the Ash Gray’, Muyoung.”
<Quest ‘Demon King of the 27th Legion’ is complete.>
<The 27th Legion’s Demon King’s Rank has been increased to A+ -> S.>
<You have earned the title, ‘Demon King of the Ash Gray’.>
<User Muyoung began to exert his influence as a demon king of Demon God Gremory!>
