Demon Slayer. An existence that could destroy hells. Unlike Muller, who defeated the great demons who descended to the earth, the Demon Slayer of the past came to hell and ‘hunted’ the great demons. The Demon Slayer had devastated five hells.
A chill went down Belial’s spine.
‘Muller’s descendant and a Demon Slayer are present at the same time?’
Puok!
“…!”
Belial was weakened and confused when a fire arrow shot at her. Shooting a fire arrow at the queen of flames? Belial laughed as she absorbed the flames, since this would be food for her recovery.
“Ack?!”
Belial felt a stinging pain. Surprisingly, the flames around the arrow were the antithesis of Belial’s flames.
‘Divine fire of a red phoenix?’
How did a person on the West Continent get access to a red phoenix’s fire? Belial tried to remain calm despite the constant chaos. She turned her gaze in the direction that the red phoenix fire came from. She saw two beautiful human women. There was a woman with beautiful white skin and impressive ebony hair. The other woman had tanned skin that was full of elasticity. They were aiming at Belial with a gun and bow.
‘Alex’s gun!’
It was dangerous. Evil creatures that were hit by a Demon Slayer’s cleansing shot would gradually weaken. Belial tried to avoid it but Kraugel’s sword was already penetrating her neck.
“K…Kuaaaack!”
Belial’s confusion deepened. From her point of view, Kraugel’s stats were lower. Yet why did she get hurt every time?
Puok!
Kwa kwa kwang!
Puuok!
Kraugel’s sword pierced her, Yura’s bullets hit her chest and Jishuka’s arrows hit her, causing Belial to cough up blood. Her gaze headed towards Kraugel, who was grabbing her ankle.
“I see…! Muller’s successor is you, not that farmer!”
“No, I didn’t inherit Muller’s skills. I am the new Sword Saint that will surpass him.”
“That is nonsense…!”
There was a Sword Saint, Demon Slayer, and a farmer with potential equal to them. From the viewpoint of a great demon:
‘This is the worst scenario!’
The legends that could threaten the great demons. The frequency of humans who reached this high level was historically very low. It was normally one person per era. Yet on this day, four people with that strength emerged. Belial thought it was unfair.
‘Why is it when I appeared?’
Did that damn Rebecca curse her?
Pepeng!
Pepepepeng!
Belial bit her lips as she received a steady stream of bullets and fire arrows. She could destroy the magic and arrows if she could exert her full ability, but Belial was currently in a greatly weakened state. Her pride was damaged. The problem was that all her paths to avoid the attacks were read by Kraugel and blocked. If she tried to move to the left, he would appear and stab his sword. If she tried to dodge to the right, he was already standing there and blocking her.
It felt like she was moving in the palm of his hand. It was unpleasant.
Puoook!
“…!”
A spear penetrated Belial’s heart as she shook. It was Rail Spear thrown by Pon. In addition to Pon, the Overgeared members who came from Patrian bombarded Belial with their ultimate attacks. The succubuses were weakened due to the effect of Hell Regulation and couldn’t threaten the Overgeared members.
This was also thanks to the great magician, Earl Ashur. A great demon was an opponent that his magic didn’t work on. Earl Ashur concentrated his magic on fighting the succubuses, not Belial. The Overgeared members were safe from succubuses thanks to Earl Ashur and Bland.
“Ugh! These little things!”
Belial’s anger soared into the sky as her health went down to two-thirds.
“I would rather show this form than suffer this humiliation!”
Belial was the queen of fire and darkness, but before that, she was the queen of lies. She used a beautiful false appearance in order to deceive humans. Now her real appearance was revealed.
Jjejeok!
Jjeejeeeong!
Belial’s skin started to crack. The appearance of boiling lava and demonic energy from the cracks was awful.
“Kieeeeeeek!”
Belial broke away from her human form. Her body was made of lava and her four legs touched the ground. Her bloody eyes looked in every direction.
“Kik! Kikikik! Once you see this form, you can never survive!”
She was certain that the legends of this time still hadn’t achieved full growth. There might be a lot of them, but they were still young buds. She could step on them without any fear.
Kurururung!
The storm of flames filled with demonic energy covered the whole area. Kraugel, Piaro, Damian, and Isabel who were relatively close to Belial were severely wounded.
“Kuk…!”
It was serious. The damage accumulated and they couldn’t take any potions. They waited for death.
‘I can’t use Heal on its own!”
Damian felt an awful sense of helplessness. As the Goddess’ Agent and Rebecca Church’s Pope, why couldn’t he play a big role against a great demon? Damian was in shock.
‘I would’ve been a bigger help if I was a priest.’
Yes, heals would’ve been able to increase the fighting strength of his colleagues. But he specialized in buffs. The problem was that the buff durations didn’t last long. Damian made a dark expression and was calling himself a useless human being when he heard Piaro’s voice.
“You did your best. Without you, we wouldn’t have been able to fight this far.”
“P-Piaro!”
Damian was upset. Piaro used a hoe as a cane and approached Belial.
“I will buy time. Both of you retreat.”
Piaro thought about it. Kraugel, Damian, Yura, Jishuka and the other Overgeared members. They were all young. A beautiful future was guaranteed for them. If they grew and developed their talents, they would be able to defeat great demons more powerful than Belial.
“Why aren’t you leaving?”
Kraugel and Damian had no desire to escape while Piaro soon approached Belial. Belial thought it was ridiculous.
“You can’t even stand properly.”
Yes, if he wished.
“I will kill you first!”
In the first place, Piaro was the strongest and most threatening. It was safe to get rid of him first. Belial changed her target to Piaro.
Pepeng!
Pepepepeok!
Jishuka was crazy. The arrows no longer aimed at Belial as they flew randomly. The fire arrows exploded on the ground and attacked her allies.
“Hah! Hahahahahat!”
Belial’s eyes widened because she couldn’t understand and she burst out laughing.
“Attacking your teammates? You must’ve gone crazy because you can’t beat me!”
Humans were too weak and inferior. It was interesting to watch them in many ways. Huroi rode a wyvern and shouted at the delighted Belial.
“You evil creature! Your parents are angels! You fell from heaven!”
“…?!”
Insulting this great body? Saying that the parents of a great demon were angels? Accusing a great demon of falling from heaven!
“H-How dare you?”
It was the first time she heard such insults in her thousands of years of living. She was several times angrier than when her power was sealed by Yura or when her movements were sealed by Kraugel. The moment that Belial’s eyes became incensed.
“My body is light.”
“This is amazing.”
Piaro, Kraugel, Isabel, and Damian emerged from Jishuka’s flames. Belial was surprised when she saw their status.
“Recovery?”
That’s right. The humans who she thought would be burned by the flames had actually been healed. In particular, Piaro’s broken legs had returned
to normal.
“How is it? I’m the main healer of Overgeared.”
Jishuka puffed up her chest proudly and bragged. The male viewers around the world watched her with hearts in their eyes.
-She’s sexy and cute.
-I want to be hit by Jishuka’s arrows.
-The previous person is right.
-Ah… I want to join Overgeared.
-If I become stronger like Kraugel, I can join Overgeared.
-Do you think you can be like Kraugel or Overgeared?
-I want to fight.
The ratings of the Belial raid peaked. It was slightly lower than the highest ratings established by Grid in the National Competition. Was it possible for Overgeared to defeat the great demon? The whole world was paying attention.
“Light of Destruction.”
Demon Slayer Yura used her ultimate skill. A pillar of light covered Belial.
At the same time, Seoul, South Korea.
“My share…?”
Youngwoo, who had been nervous for his colleagues, now felt irritated.
Chapter 574
Chapter 574
[Light of Destruction Lv. 1]
Can only be used against demonkin.
Attacks the target with 2,070% of your physical attack power and 3,430% of your magic attack power. In addition, there will be overlapping penetration damage according to the number of demonic essences consumed. Penetrates a maximum of five demonkin in a straight line. The damage will be applied equally to all.
A target hit by the Light of Destruction will temporarily lose their magic.
Demonic power is the origin of demonkin.
Once a demonkin loses their unique power, all their stats are reduced by 50% for three minutes and it is impossible to recover health.
Cooldown: 4 hours (half when used in a hell)
Mana Consumption: 1,799
Demonic Essence Consumption: From 5 to 500.
A Demon Slayer used magic bullets and swordsmanship as their main forms of attack. This meant they had to distribute stat points equally to strength and intelligence. She couldn’t afford to allocate stat points to agility and stamina, so her attack speed, defense, and evasion rate were low. But her skill damage was great.
If Yura had possessed more than 100 demonic essence, she would’ve dealt a fatal blow to Belial.
Peeeeeong!
A large hole was formed in Belial’s body after she was pierced by the jade pillar of light. As one of the ultimate skills of a Demon Slayer, it really was a threat to a great demon.
“Kuk…! Kuaaaack!”
The demonic energy raging around Belial’s body disappeared like it was a mirage. Belial screamed loudly. The physical pain was great, but the mental suffering associated with losing her demonic energy was greater. Piaro and Isabel rushed towards her. The most powerful buffs of a Goddess’ Agent and Pope were amplifying their strength.
Chaeeeeeng!
Pepepepeng!
Lifael’s Spear struck seven times per second. Isabel’s stabbing attacks annoyed Belial.
“Damn Rebecca’s servant!”
The wounds caused by Rebecca’s divine artifact caused pain even when defending. It was meaningless if she avoided it. However, Isabel received a buff in her White Transformation state, while Belial’s stats fell by 50%. It was difficult to avoid.
Puk!
Puooooock!
Piaro’s hand plow stabbed Belial. This was real pain.
“Uhh!”
In the midst of this terrible pain,
“Kieeeeeeek!”
Belial lost her temper and started to counterattack.
Dududududung!
Hellfire! Hundreds of flames stretched out like fists towards Piaro and Isabel’s body.
“Kuoong!”
“Uh…!”
Piaro and Isabel tried to defend as much as possible.
“Space Sword.”
The powerful blow from Sword Saint Kraugel cut through all the space of heaven and earth, and struck Belial’s body. This was one of the reasons why Kraugel told Lauel that they could seal Belial. This was a powerful blow. Originally, Kraugel would’ve used this skill after Hao found Belial’s weakness from outside the hell. But Yura’s Light of Destruction had weakened Belial.
Kraugel used Space Sword earlier than planned and dealt catastrophic damage to Belial. The presence of a Sword Saint was revealed at this time.
[Critical!]
[You have dealt 11,300,599 damage to the target.]
[The target has suffered irreparable damage! All attributes are reduced by 20% and all speeds are reduced by 50%!]
[The target tried to resist. Only half the debuffs are applied.]
[The target has exposed their weakness! For 30 seconds, any attacks to the target will unconditionally be a critical hit! Critical damage will be 1.5 times higher!]
[The target’s resistance has failed.]
[…!]
[!!!!!!!!!!!!!!]
[Your powerful sword has cut the world!]
Paaaat!
At that moment. The strike penetrated Belial and headed outside the 32nd Hell they were trapped in. The earth, mountain, sea, and sky. All things that existed in the path of the sword energy were split in half.
[The power of a Sword Saint has been revealed.]
[The peak swordsmanship is fighting against the world.]
[The earth’s gods have used their power. Everything split in half is restored.]
“…!!!”
『 …!!! 』
This phrase appeared in front of all players connected to Satisfy.
Kurururu!
The group shook for a while and all players on the continent doubted the reality.
“The world…”
“It split apart?”
“Sword Saint!”
“Kraugel!”
The person who had been in the top rankings since Satisfy opened. At this moment, the world knew what hidden class he chose that made him step down from the throne. Youngwoo’s eyes widened as he watched the TV.
“Kraugel!”
This wasn’t the time to be happy about the growth of his allies like Piaro and Yura. His competitor had split the world with a sword while he was sitting in front of the TV? He didn’t like this situation.
Puoook!
“Oppa…”
Sehee saw her brother’s clenched fists and looked worried. But she was soon relieved. It was because she saw the smile spreading on Youngwoo’s face.
‘You’re a good competitor.’
Sehee thought. The stronger Kraugel was, the stronger and more enlightened her brother would become. Somehow, she felt that way.
***
“…Ha?”
Behen Archipelago, the 61st island.
A man fought Lantier, the undead left behind by Pagma, who was Baal’s Contractor. It lasted day and night and he barely knocked Lantier down. It was Agnus, Baal’s Contractor. He swept back the pale green hair that was wet with sweat. Golden eyes flashed as notification windows appeared before him.
[The power of a Sword Saint has been revealed.]
[The peak swordsmanship is fighting against the world.]
“Kik… Kikik, the earthquake just now was caused by him?”
The strongest legendary class, Sword Saint. Who could it be? It was a no-brainer.
“Kraugel.”
The rat had disappeared and now appeared more brilliantly than ever. They would meet again soon. It was fun just thinking about it. It was thrilling.
“Kik… Kilkik! Kuahahahat!”
Insane laughter echoed in the Behen Archipelago.
The face of Bini the fairy was pale. ‘Sticks, I’m scared. This guy is too dangerous.’
***
“Now!”
Belial was weakened by the Light of Destruction and Space Sword in succession. The Overgeared members started their full offensive. Vantner and Toban marked the succubuses with Earl Ashur. Regas opened the power of an Asura wh
ile all the damage dealers attacked Belial, including Pon on a white horse.
Ibellin was the one who played the most remarkable role. He used the Thorn of Deep Grievance that Grid made during the Tzedakah Guild days. He often used the skill attached to it, Laceration, when raiding boss monsters and succeeded in dealing 60% fixed damage to Belial’s heath!
[The 32nd Great Demon Belial has suffered a fatal injury!]
“Wow!”
“Ibellin is amazing!”
“You’re better than the Sword Saint!”
“…”
This was a real overgeared person. Ibellin could deal big damage beyond Kraugel! Kraugel was shocked in many ways when he heard Jishuka’s voice.
“You should join Overgeared as well.”
Peng!
Pepepepeok!
From the time of her appearance to now, Jishuka had been firing arrows without stopping. Kraugel also admired her.
‘How does she keep shooting her bow without a break? Is her stamina so high that she doesn’t need to control it?’
The godly archer? Jishuka answered in a manner designed to lure Kraugel.
“Of course, it’s my item.”
Jishuka winked as she explained with a cheerful expression.
“…”
It was truly items. Kraugel realized that this was the true power of items.
‘If I joined Overgeared…’
He would be much stronger than now, and he could be free of Ares’ suppression or the madman Agnus.
‘But I can’t be too greedy.’
There was something called a natural destiny. Grid was a good rival before they were friends. They could depend on each other, but the basic competitive landscape needed to be maintained. In order to reach the ‘perfect peak,’ Kraugel intended to compete with Grid and use him as nutrients to grow. He didn’t want to join Overgeared and Grid didn’t want him either.
‘In any case, Overgeared will get Agnus’ aggro if I join.’
Puuok!
Puuoooook!
Kraugel attacked Belial without stopping while he was thinking. Under the onslaught of Kraugel, Piaro, Isabel, and the Overgeared members, Belial’s health fell to 10%. Ibellin’s deadly blow was very huge.
‘It will end soon!’
‘We’re going to be the first players to succeed in a great demon raid!’
What was the most exhilarating moment in Satisfy? It was when Grid made them new items or when they worked together to succeed in boss raids. The Overgeared members were already looking forward to the titles and items that Belial would drop.
