Chapter 230: Devil (2)

Exactly seven days later .

She led five loyal subordinates to South Korea . Ariel was the one who set the timing and location, and she insisted on the confrontation being in South Korea . It seemed like she was sure that I wouldn’t use any tricks .

It might have been stupid, but she was stubborn . I never thought about using any tricks . I realized how important the meaning of my words was after acquiring divinity . There was a chance that I might lose my divinity . I knew it instinctively .

"Let’s decide this . Randalph Brigsiel . ”

Ariel was wearing armour and holding a sword made of a balrog’s bones . The long tail bone made her seem like a balrog .

I wore a crimson cloak and Infinity Armour . Wrath and the Emperor’s Sword trembled in my hands .

As a result of this fight, the demon king would be determined .

I couldn’t relax . I had been dreaming of this moment since I was young . Now it was time to achieve it directly, rather than just dreaming .

"I'll do that . "

I nodded .

I only had a short time to breathe .

I struck an attack posture .

Kuwuong!

An expert in weapons . She could use any weapons . In particular, no one could follow her in regards to swordsmanship . She spent a considerable amount of time trying to learn all the sword techniques in the world . If I got into a pure armed struggle with Ariel then I might not have the advantage .

Even though I had made many advances in Haien Moon’s swordsmanship, it was still far below Ariel’s pure sword ability . I was two or three times inferior to her in that regards . It was like the difference between an adult and a child .

However, I wasn’t going to fight using just physical strength . I was using everything I had in this battle . Even if Ariel Diablo had swordsmanship, I was far ahead of her in other areas .

Kwaduduk!

The ground shook . It was like an earthquake was occurring . From the beginning, Ariel had surrounded her sword in chaos . It was her patented ‘Abyss Sword . ’

In order to counter this, I used Dark Sword . It used to be inferior Abyss Sword, but my magic power was superior and so it showed several times its original strength .

‘I see . ’

Ariel Diablo’s brilliant movements caused minor tremors . I felt it . Her next movements were expected . And I had the ability to dominate every situation .

If it was before then I wouldn’t have been able to catch all her movements . Ariel Diablo’s movements were filled with finesse and every subtle movement was elaborate . I discovered the optimal route to dismantle her attack .

Chwack! Chwack! Chaeeeeng!

Our swords clashed . Ariel Diablo was pushing ahead with more vigour . She even used dual swords so I was forced to be amazed at the frequence of her attacks . She was pouring everything into her swords .

My movements were haphazard as I defended against her swordsmanship . Although I was just defending . . .

Hwaruruk!

I brought out Pride’s flames . They weren’t flames that could burn for eternity . Pride’s flames became a real hellfire after my rise in magic power . They swallowed everything for dozens of metres around me . The land melted and her movements were sealed .

Kuaaaang!

But Ariel didn’t stay still . If she stopped moving even a little bit then it would be her defeat . She raised her swords up high and the ground surged like waves .

‘Waterspout . ’

This was also one of Ariel’s skills . The land turned into a tsunami that tried to swallow me .

Kwang! Kwang! Kwaaaaang!

The tsunami was repeated dozens of times . As if that wasn’t enough, Ariel raised her sword again and invoked a skill .

Swaaack! Swaaack!

The number of ivory swords had increased . They were the same swords, genuine copies . Every single one had remarkable destructive powers . There was a total of 512 swords in the air .

‘Weapon Cheat (Ex Epic) . ’ It was a skill that could make hundreds of copies of a weapon . The sword was made from the bones of the strong balrog, and used the high rated swords to create a huge storm .

A total of 512 swords became stuck in the ground, causing it to shake . It was a rain of swords .

“Giant Swamp . ”

That wasn’t the end .

Ariel clutched her sword and closed her eyes . Then the swords stuck in the earth started to shine . Soon all 512 swords formed a circle around me .

Kuuong! Kuuong! Kuuong!

The 512 swords pushed through the ground .

Chiiiiiing!

Noises were heard from underneath me . A loud noise that paralyzed my hearing . The sound grew bigger until it reached its peak, then it became completely quiet .

Kuwaaaaaang!

This was the calm before the storm . A deep hole formed and a fierce light emerged from it . The light reached up to the sky and wiped out everything in the middle .

A linked skill . Rather than relying on only one, several skills were connected to increase the power .

The hole was several kilometres in diameter . The demons and creatures were warned earlier, so they were much further away . If not, they would have been swept away and died . There would have been no exceptions .

That’s how destructive it was . The gigantic pillar of light continued crying out like a god . Ariel Diablo had transcended . It was an attack that she poured everything into . If she had completed this skill at Greenwich Observatory then the winning party would have been Ariel Diablo .

She would have overturned the battlefield by herself .

However . . .

Hwaruk! Hwaruruk!

My fire didn’t go out . I slowly climbed into the hole of light . Pride’s flames were protecting my body . After my growth in magic power, Infinite Armour had also transformed to look like a red dragon .

Ddubeok .

Finally, my feet touched the bottom of the hole . Ariel Diablo’s attack was certainly great . If it hit my body then I would have been severely wounded .

However, this was a fight for our lives . This strike wasn’t enough to get rid of me .

Grrrung!

Lightning Elemental .

Lightning God cried out . Lightning God and Pride’s flames both embraced my body to reduce the blow .

Once the skill was over, I no longer needed to be protected and Lightning God moved to an attack stance .

The size of Lightning God also increased . Skills were affected by magic power, so all the ones I learnt had become stronger .

I moved my finger and Lightning God swallowed up Ariel Diablo .

Kuaaaang!

Lightning God roared . Ariel calmly switched targets . She blocked Lightning God with her chaos sword .

Chiik! Chiiiik!

Ariel’s sword split Lightning God exactly in half . The unleashed power fell to the ground, causing power outages . After a while, Lightning God merged and changed shapes .

It seemed to be a spear and shield . Lightning God struck, but couldn’t pierce through Ariel’s sword . However, Lightning God infinitely regenerated and constantly tormented Ariel .

I knew it wasn’t the end so I moved .

I covered Wrath and the Emperor’s Sword with Dark Sword, then again with Pride’s flames . Also . . .

I recalled Lightning God . Lightning God immediately mixed with Pride’s flames .

Linkage . However, it carried a very big risk . This was the first time I had tried it . Yet I was confident I wouldn’t fail .

As magic power increased, so did my level of understanding . In addition, the 135 points in intelligence meant I could safely use the skills .

Grruk . Kurururu . . .

There was a slight rebound but that was it .

It caused so much confusion that chaos also formed on my swords .

Ariel’s eyes changed as she saw it .

The time for general attacks was over . Now was the time to meet .

Ariel also knew it . We were both confident about the outcome of the fight .

If the strike failed then the only thing left . . .

Chwang!

The ivory sword was split in half .

The chaos on the sword was severed .

Ariel stared at me like it was absurd .

“You monster . ”

Duk . Ariel Diablo raised her hands .

"I lost . ”

I had the freedom to kill Ariel if I wanted . This was a fight between demons . The loser lost everything and the winner gained it . It would be a natural action for me to take her life after becoming the winner .

Soon her vassals arrived . I was accompanied by my creatures .

Ariel’s demons bit their lips while my subordinates were cheering and laughing .

I spoke to Ariel who was kneeling in the centre .

"Take the lead in killing Camael, Ariel Diablo . You will act as the vanguard to destroy my enemies . ”

I didn’t kill Ariel . I didn’t have a choice .

The winner had been determined, but the war wasn’t over yet . First, Camael still remained . Camael was a very tricky angel to kill alone .

‘I need to kill 1 . 14 million angels first . Until that happens, he is immortal . ’

This was something that Tashmal had told me .

The seraphim Camael . An almighty angel who shared life with 1 . 14 million other angels . Although it was similar to the skill that Ariel used on the silver knights in the past, Camael was different in that all 1 . 14 million needed to be killed first .

In order to do this, I needed to keep Ariel alive . It would be a little easier if she took the lead to destroy the angels . Camael was close to omnipotent, but he wasn’t invincible . The most important thing was to kill his army . I needed to shorten that time as much as possible .

I extended my foot . Ariel had to kiss my foot for the ceremony between master and slave to end .

If she refused then she wouldn’t be able to keep her life . I was doing her a great favour by stamping her with the seal of a slave . It allowed her to keep her honour, but she could never be hostile towards me . From the beginning to the end . I needed to take the result into account .

Her choice was also the choice of her demons . I waited patiently . Soon Ariel opened her mouth .

"I, Ariel Diablo, admit defeat and will swear myself to Randalph Brigsiel from now on . ”

Ariel slowly moved her mouth to my foot .

I was surprised . I never thought she would comply without a reaction .

It was different from what I knew in my previous life . Did I not understand Ariel’s personality because I was too weak?

Jjuk!

Ariel kissed my foot .

The winner and loser had clearly been decided .

My expression didn’t change . But I was feeling intense emotions .

I had moved without a break and finally achieved my goal .

I had succeeded in climbing from the bottom up to the highest place .

If someone heard my story then they wouldn’t have believed it . They wouldn’t want to believe it .

But it was all true . I was now on the verge of grasping the truth .

Once the ceremony was finished, messages popped up before me .

-All the demons on Earth have been subdued .

You are qualified to become the demon king .

-An incredible achievement . The title ‘The Demon King’ has been acquired .

Your occupation has been changed from ‘Grand Duke’ to ‘Demon King . ’

The demon king is the ruler of the Demon World . It is the absolute name given to those who have conquered the Demon World .

It is now possible to open the door to the Demon World . However, it is impossible to open right now due to Camael’s appearance . The Celestial Door and Demon World Door can’t overlap .
