‘No . ’

Roosevelt hardened his heart . He was the Demon King of Chills . He was someone who was known as the most ruthless and cruel destroyer .

‘He will die . ’

Shar-Shazar was a demon king who was favored by Enroth .

Among the three demon kings, he was the strongest . But, he had definitely died .

This was an unquestionable truth . As Enroth had told them himself, there could be no doubt .

Then, what was this ‘shell’ that stood here in front of them?

‘Something else that used its shell . ’

Roosevelt looked at Shar-Shazar critically .

Shar-Shazar was certainly strong . He could do 150% of the work an average demon king alone . If he were to fight against Roosevelt, there was a 60% chance he would win .

But, if that was just a shell?

If that was the enemy’s trap?

‘After killing Shar-Shazar, they did something to his corpse…’

They had no choice but to think this way, as they were certain of Shar-Shazar’s death .

In the end, he was convinced it was the enemies’ plot .

And he thought about why they would have placed such a noticeable ‘trap’ .

“Roosevelt! It’s Shar-Shazar!”

“Was he alive?”

The subordinates were confused .

After all, to devils, or indeed anyone, Shar-Shazar was a being far more terrifying thanRoosevelt . However, while Shar-Shazar improvised, Roosevelt was ‘calculating’ .

“That is someone else wearing Shar-Shazar’s shell . Search the surrounding! I must find out who is behind that shell . ”

The truth!

First, find the one who set up the trap .

Perhaps it is the one who killed Shar-Shazar .

Although it was revealed he was a human, Roosevelt didn’t believe this .

A mere human killed Shar-Shazar?

‘It’s not even funny . ’

Enroth’s prophecy was certain . But, it couldn’t read 100% of everything .

Roosevelt thought there was ‘someone’ who was behind the human .

Who was it? What sort of a being was it?

‘A dragon, or a transcendental being?’

The Demon God Diablo and his subordinates couldn’t pass the Sky Lord . Among the very few humans who lived in the Demon Gods’ Territory, a being who was associated with them…

‘The King of the Dragons!’

The four transcendental beings that settled in the north, south, east and west .

Among them, the King of the Dragons settled in the West Sky Garden .

There were rumors that he, who was also very hostile to the devils, would enter into a contract with even humans if they had the skills .

‘He’s a human . ’

That is how Roosevelt was able to find out the truth of this work .

A human who made a contract with the King of the Dragons can control two dragons . Roosevelt also knew of one such human, as he had already killed a few demon kings .

The fact that someone killed Shar-Shazar obviously meant that they didn’t care about Enroth . If it was that ‘human’ who had the King of the Dragons taking care of him, there was a slight possibility that he could have killed Shar-Shazar .

However, Roosevelt was certainly different from Shar-Shazar .

Compared to that lunatic, Roosevelt was slightly less crazy and powerful, but that was when they only compared them individually . Roosevelt’s ability to command his army was among the best of all demon kings .

“Never get close to him . There will definitely be someone hiding near him . ”

The devils used all kinds of magic to search around Shar-Shazar .

And throughout all this, Shar-Shazar didn’t move .

Roosevelt had already spread out 200,000 of his men .

Although it might just be a shell, it was a ‘trap’ that was created using Shar-Shazar . No matter how much caution they took, it wouldn’t be enough .

‘Why isn’t it moving?’

The Sun started to set .

However, Shar-Shazar still didn’t move .

Why? What was it after?

There were no magics present in his surroundings . He couldn’t feel any sort of magical energy .

Also, he couldn’t read what they were really after .

The problem was time . Roosevelt couldn’t help but be hasty .

“They say Fraeda is almost here . And that he will arrive before they day sets . ”

One of his subordinates spoke .

Fraeda . The demon king who was just as strong as Roosevelt .

They were competing to gain Enroth’s favor .

Fraeda was impatient . If he were to reach this place, he would try to touch Shar-Shazar right away .

‘There are two choices . To make contact or just go past it . ’

He couldn’t delay any longer .

He needed to make a choice, and depending on that choice, a result would follow .

Roosevelt held a sword made of ivory .

And wielded it .

“Surround it . ”

If Fraeda arrived here, it would be too late .

Shar-Shazar’s shell . Taking care of and retrieving it was also a ‘merit’ .

A great opportunity to gain points with Enroth .

He wasn’t going to give this opportunity to Fraeda .

‘I have already searched around this place numerous times . ’

There wasn’t anything in his surroundings .

Only the shell of Shar-Shazar!

According to Roosevelt’s order, 20,000 devils surrounded Shar-Shazar .

Tightly . Without any gaps .

“Place a curse of deterioration on the body!”

Of course, it didn’t mean he would just attack him straight on .

To get maximum results while incurring minimal damage, he needed to put in all sorts of effort .

Following Roosevelt’s order, a magic unit consisting of 500 soldiers came to the front .

If it was a curse cast by 500 top-level devils, it would even work on a demon king .

Thud! Thud! Thud!

As the devils cast the spell and stomped their staffs in mid-air, a loud sound similar to beating drums filled the air .

Then, black hands emerge from the devils and surrounded Shar-Shazar .

Those hands represented deterioration . Hands that despaired everything that they touch . If they touched you, you could not defend against it .

‘Is it truly a shell without any will?’

It was too easy . He could feel the magic weakening .

“Activate lightning neutralizing magical barrier . We don’t know what will happen . ”

That was why they were being extra cautious .

Shar-Shazar was the master of the lightning . So, if they neutralized lightning, most of his power would be negated .

A huge earthen barrier was produced . Even if Shar-Shazar’s shell exploded, he would be able to minimize the damage .

‘Was I worried for no reason?’

There was no reaction .

It truly seemed like it was just a shell .

Afterwards, Roosevelt held up his ivory sword .

At this point, he had set all the measures he could . If he wasted any more time, he would lose the solemnity of a demon king .

Roosevelt stood on the stage that had been prepared .

Shar-Shazar raised his head . It was the first time he had showed a reaction .

“You couldn’t even die properly after being defeated by a mere human?”

Roosevelt’s sword started to vibrate .

A vibrating sword that oscillated rapidly . It was Roosevelt’s specialty to disassemble everything he touched .

“Still, you were once a demon king . To honor you, I will disassemble you without leaving a piece of flesh . ”

Swaaaaaack!

It was a sword that vibrated 300,000 times per second .

The sword lost its form and only left an afterimage .

In that state, Roosevelt quickly leaped towards Shar-Shazar .

Flutter!

Roosevelt’s sword pierced through Shar-Shazar’s heart .

‘It touched . ’

Once it touched, it was the end .

Shar-Shazar would turn to dust…

At that moment .

The world started to change .

‘A reality marble!’

“Ahhh!”

Roosevelt frowned for a moment .

Shar-Shazar didn’t know how to produce a reality marble . What did this mean?

Afterwards, what appeared was wilderness .

A place where nothing existed besides the wilderness .

In this place, their natural characteristics were maximized .

Rumble! Craaash!

Shar-Shazar became wild lightning . His whole body turned to lightning, so of course, Roosevelt’s attack had no effect .

Roosevelt’s body grew bigger .

Although he had an appearance similar to an elephant, he was much bigger .

‘A reality marble that strengthens our natural characteristics!’

It was a very unique barrier . However, what was certain was that Roosevelt was isolated in this place .

The barrier’s core was held by Shar-Shazar . Unless Roosevelt killed him, he would be unable to escape this place .

Crash!

That was when Shar-Shazar started to move .

“From the beginning, this is what you were after!”

Roosevelt shouted .

He had searched all around him .

However, he didn’t prepare for a reality marble . From the beginning, it wasn’t one of Shar-Shazar’s skills, and he had never expected him to have an item that could activate a reality marble .

Unless he possessed an artifact that even demon kings rarely had, it would be hard to create this sort of reality marble .

‘This was a risky and irrational decision . If I had not attacked him on my on, it all would have been a waste…!’

Roosevelt was taken aback .

He had made all the necessary preparations . He had weakened Shar-Shazar and made other preparations just in case .

If Roosevelt didn’t try to deal with Shar-Shazar himself, he wouldn’t have fallen for such a trick .

However, Roosevelt was known to be honorable, and that was where he stumbled .

Thanks to this, he decided to face Shar-Shazar one-on-one .

‘The opponent knew me . ’

He couldn’t help but think this way .

Roosevelt raised his body .

He had fallen for it . However, he couldn’t give up just because he’d been fooled .

“Do you think this sort of barrier can contain me?!”

* * *

Sungmin nodded his head .

Muyoung’s advice, as well as his own decision, allowed him to successfully tie Roosevelt down .

Although it had been risky, since they were successful, there was no time to waste .

“Gaudeamus . ”

Sungmin raised his staff .

Sungmin could open three doors . All three doors had strong magical creatures sleeping behind them .

Sungmin now opened his third door .

Thud!

Thud!

Thump!

The monster that ripped through the air as it sprang out was truly gigantic .

A being that touched the sky . Nine heads…

The king of all monsters, hydra!

Sungmin’s body floated up and perched on the hydra .

Then, he spoke to the surrounding specters and undead .

“From now on, we will attack Roosevelt . ”

Roosevelt was trapped in the barrier, but that merely isolated him from his subordinates .

Sungmin then quietly murmured .

“Only for his victory . ”

* * *

Meanwhile, Tacan went to strike Fraeda, along with Ogar, the fire tars, and the dokkaebis .

The Unpredictable Demon King Fraeda .

Tacan didn’t know him . But, Muyoung knew of Fraeda .

Although Muyoung didn’t know where he would pass by, or much about his personality, he roughly knew what he was like .

And… like Muyoung had anticipated, he was able to notice Fraeda and his subordinates coming towards them from afar .

“He would be successful if he set up a fortune telling shop . ”

Tacan was talking about Muyoung .

Anyways, since his opponent showed up, he needed to fight .

Tacan turned his body .

“Fraeda is mine . You guys can have the rest . ”

Tacan was confident .

He didn’t have many chances to really fight .

However, if it was a demon king, he would be able to satisfy his thirst .

“The opponent is a demon king . Won’t it be difficult on your own? Are you not going to follow Muyoung’s plan?”

Ogar spoke .

Certainly, Tacan was strong, but he was about 2% lacking to be recognized as being at demon king level .

So, Muyoung wanted Tacan to work with Ogar to stop Fraeda . But, Tacan was insisting that he fight against him alone .

“I can’t share this golden opportunity . Besides, I have something up my sleeve . I’d be confident even if my opponent was Muyoung!”

Ogar took a step back .

He couldn’t argue with him when they were about to go to battle .

If Tacan was going to do this, it seemed like there was no way else to handle the situation besides helping him out after ending the other fights .

Afterwards, Tacan took out his sword .

As they arrived at this decision, the enemies noticed that there were troops at this place .

“Kehehe! What kind of meeting are my preys having together?!”

As he flapped his three huge pairs of wings, a devil with a slender body who could be mistaken for a woman or a man rose .

This was also as Muyoung had anticipated .

As the first devil to act would be Fraeda, he had told them to instantly isolate him .

“I didn’t think there would come a day for me to fight while riding a bone dragon . ”

Ogar smacked his lips as he got on a bone dragon .

By now, Tacan had already advanced to attack Fraeda .

‘I will definitely win . ’

Ogar raised a huge club to his shoulder .

* * *

In this fight, Roosevelt would be the biggest obstacle .

Fraeda was an unpredictable demon king . He was a hot-tempered opponent who would fight against them without much coaxing .

On the other hand, Roosevelt was cool-headed . He knew how to read the battle .

In fact, the one who led the battles at the start of Enroth’s warswas also Roosevelt .

The reason why they used Shar-Shazar just as bait was solely due to this reason .

‘If Roosevelt’s hands are tied, that is enough . ’

Muyoung had arrived at his territory by leading the ‘ark’ that the Ogar called the Swamp Owners .

The ark had a strong defense mechanism . With this, if he had to defend his territory, it would be much easier .

Muyoung didn’t participate in the two battles and instead protected his territory .

Enroth was watching . He would sense Roosevelt and Fraeda fighting .

Unlike when they fought against Shar-Shazar, Enroth would show up .

Either way, it wasn’t a fight that would end in just two days .

Muyoung did not want to reveal his fighting power as much as he could .

His power would only be used to face Enroth .

“Lord, Kalmooh has returned . ”

Kalmooh, who had been ordered to bring God Hand Bartas, had returned .

Muyoung nodded .

“Rise . ”

A secretary opened the door to the lord’s room .

Soon, a big bearded dwarf, Kalmooh entered .

“Where is Bartas?”

“Unfortunately, he was unable to come with me . ”

“Is that so?”

Muyoung frowned .

God Hand Bartas . Muyoung needed him to create the rest of the Immortal King’s equipment .

As if Kalmooh could read Muyoung’s disappointment, Kalmooh smiled .

“However, the equipment is created . ”

Clank! Clunk!

With a loud sound, a few dwarves entered .

In their hands, there was a huge box .
