Chapter 215

Chapter 215: Ark (2)

The Ark was a hidden card made by the angels . They gathered holy power and plants together to make it complete with wings . There were all types of magic and holy powers to stop the darkness, so the grand dukes’ strikes wouldn’t break it so easily .

There were 50,000 angels on the Ark . The angels started to fire the cannons on the Ark at the creatures .

Kung! Kwaang!

Those directly hit by the shells disappeared without leaving any traces behind . The airborne creatures attempted to attack from the sky, but the shield of holy power intercepted them . The evil creatures couldn’t stand touching it and received wounds that couldn’t be healed .

Even so, there were more high ranking creatures wiped out by the angels guarding the ship .

There were 20,000 angels protecting the ship . They wandered around the ship and killed any creature trying to pierce through the shield .

It was a dramatic reversal from the angels’ previous state of being slaughtered .

“Dumb guys . ”

Grand Duke Upa watched the ship . He was disappointed in the demons hitting the Ark .

Even though he had entrusted this task to them, not one of them was able to scratch the Ark . The capabilities of his demons seemed to be inferior when compared to the vassals of the other grand dukes .

‘I don’t like it . ’

He had no favourites among the demons . The creatures were like consumable items, while the demons would be together with him until their deaths . Yet they were like this .

He needed competent subordinates .

‘In that sense, Gustarte is the best sword and shield for me . ’

He would make Upa the best . Not a demon but a god . A demon becoming a god!

Just thinking about it made his body heat up .

Kwaang!

However, the sound of the Ark returned Upa to reality .

Dozens of wyverns were thrown to the ground . The other creatures were crushed to death because of the wyverns .

Of course, not all of his subordinates were useless .

Some high ranking demons were battling the angels .

There was someone who used the huge flying beast ‘golgon’ to push the Ark .

But there was no meaning to it if not all of his subordinates were competent . Upa personally didn’t like this .

“Get out of the way . I will take care of it . ”

Upa immediately pushed aside the one commanding and came forward . He didn’t like what he saw in front of him but he couldn’t waste time .

He would use a blitz attack to finish it quickly .

It was best to start quickly and finish fast .

There were many ways to end it quickly but . . .

The best way was to show the overwhelming difference in strength .

Hwiing!

Upa waved his hand and strong winds started blowing .

Soon dozens of typhoons emerged and danced around Upa’s right hand .

A huge typhoon was creature once they were joined together .

"The ship looks good . "

Upa rode the typhoon into the sky .

He felt some comfort that he would be able to obtain the ship in a good condition .

At that time . . .

Pandemonium and his army hadn’t moved far from Greenwich Observatory . He had no interest in the fighting as his gaze was only directed towards the observatory .

Randalph Brigsiel was a significant demon . The angels weren’t high risk compared to him . He had dealt with one of the grand dukes, Okullos . There was no guarantee he wouldn’t act against the other grand dukes .

As one of the oldest demons, Okullos was careful about everything . Some might say he was scared, but that cautiousness allowed him to maintain his position as grand duke for a long time .

‘Does he really hold the key?’

His mind with filled with other thoughts while he went through the motions of fighting the angels .

It started with the invitation, but the true beginning was the special event .

A few lines of words had appeared in front of all the grand dukes .

And then the assault of the angels started . . .

‘It isn’t clear . ’

The first special event was the emergence of the angels . This assault might also be one . It seemed suspicious but he wasn’t sure how . He couldn’t erase the feeling that someone had deliberately created this situation .

Then he needed to look at who would gain the most from this .

‘Randalph Brigsiel . ’

That guy . If the grand dukes’ troops were reduced then the most profitable one would be Randalph Brigsiel who had no faction .

However, the angels wouldn’t listen to a demon and they didn’t seem like they were being used .

So Pandemonium decided to save as much power as possible .

If Randalph Brigsiel did anything then he would be able to respond flexibly . Or Pandemonium would surround Greenwich Observatory and stop him from moving .

‘Humans . ’

In the meantime, a dozen humans entered Pandemonium’s field of vision .

The intelligence of humans was amazing so there was no reason for them to not notice this battlefield . Still, it was strange .

‘Why would humans be here?’

Why would humans risk themselves to enter here?

Inferior organisms . All they could do was accept their fate .

Furthermore, the movements of the humans were careful .

It was clear that they were trying to do something .

‘I need to find out . '

Pandemonium raised his hand . It was necessary to find out about any ambiguous occurrences . Then he could align the unseen puzzle pieces .

He knew from long years of experience that it was better to be as careful as possible .

Kwaang!

Suddenly there was a sound from the sky . Huge flames hit the Ark .

The problem was where the flames were launched from .

Pandemonium turned his head .

"He is doing moderately well . ”

There was an unmistakable man not far from here .

Randalph Brigsiel!

Despite not being close to it at all, he had attacked the Ark . He thought Randalph Brigsiel would continue to stay in the castle .

“Pandemonium . Aren’t you interested in hunting the angels?”

That guy turned and proudly spoke to him .

It was natural for demons and angels to confront each other . A desire to hunt was also natural . It wasn’t surprising for him to be rebuked for not moving .

Yet Randalph Brigsiel was the one saying it .

He was someone who had only stayed in the castle so far!

"I want to have a good time . Don’t you think this isn’t as entertaining as the banquet?”

"Are you trying to play word games with me now?”

Pandemonium frowned . He didn’t want to get caught up in that guy’s pace . Randalph Brigsiel might be young but he was surprisingly tricky . He likely had a separate purpose for this conversation .

"It is a joke . Aren’t we close friends?”

"Shut up if you are just going to continue with the useless barking . Come back after you hunt all the angels . ”

"If I can’t then isn’t it impossible for you?”

“Impossible . . . ?”

Pandemonium’s expression hardened .

He hadn’t expected the conversation to head in this direction .

That’s why Pandemonium thought the words were a joke .

"It will be a big deal if I take action . ”

"It doesn’t seem like a big deal to me . ”

“You will see after finding the way back to the Demon World . If you’re not lying then all the others won’t stay still . ”

A smile suddenly appeared on that guy’s face .

"Demon World . . . I won’t have any regrets about going there . ”

“Right . You are just an idiotic demon who is alone . You don’t deserve to be formally called a grand duke . ”

“But I see grand duke in my status window . How is that possible if it isn’t true?”

"It is a virtual one . The Demon World won’t recognize you as a grand duke . ”

"I won’t stay as a grand duke forever . In that sense, our wills match . ”

If he didn’t stay as a grand duke, it meant he would become the demon king .

He left after saying those leisurely words . It seemed like he was going to find a nice place to watch the battlefield .

“You . . . ”

Pandemonium shook his head .

That guy had moved away from the castle so there was no reason to stay here . In any case, it was necessary to finish this fight quickly .

“I will start hunting the angels . Spread out . ”

“As you command . ”

“As you command . ”

Pandemonium’s demons moved with their assigned creatures . Pandemonium was proud of the quality of his demons compared to the other grand dukes’ . They were all competent and did the required work without him needing to order them .

After a while, only a handful of creatures and the doll-like demons taken from Okullos’ faction were remaining .

‘They won’t be able to endure . ’

Pandemonium closed his eyes .

If he joined then the hunt would soon be over .

I shrugged .

It was a dangerous moment .

Pandemonium had noticed the humans . I knew exactly what they were carrying and what their plan was .

I had sent them Kim Yura and Kim Min-ji so that they could move as safely as possible .

‘I don’t know how much hope that bomb will be . ’

Humans named it ‘Hope’ so it didn’t seem entirely useless .

Anyway, entering the battlefield was the right decision .

Thanks to that, I was able to confirm some good information from Pandemonium .

‘He must be looking for a way to the Demon World . ’

The path to the Demon World!

This was possible if I could use Yihi . Perhaps it was the purpose of the special event . Yihi had the ability to move an opponent to the place they originally came from .

‘I wonder what happened to the Demon World . It must be very important for them to move in such a hurry . ’

I slowly headed towards the centre of the battlefield like I was taking a walk while lost in thought .

I continued to speculate on Pandemonium’s words .

‘The demons won’t acknowledge me as a grand duke . In contrast, the other grand dukes have enough forces to be acknowledged . In a nutshell . . . the strength of my forces isn’t something that the Demon World can overlook . ’

That’s why I had to go back properly .

The power of the Demon World would support the winner when they became the devil . Without power, I would become a puppet devil . Or I would be hunted by other forces .

Therefore I had concentrated on growing my dungeons . They would become my power when I became the demon king .

‘I got good information and stopped him from obtaining a clue . ’

It was a rewarding experience .

I looked up at the sky .

I was able to confirm that Pandemonium had joined the battlefield .

. . . The hunting would end soon .

Unless a small conflict upset the balance .
