Chapter 221

The dwarves carried a huge box . A huge box that seemed ordinary on the outside . However, Muyoung was able to sense an overflowing amount of magical power . The dwarves then laid down the box in front of Muyoung .

“Due to the devils’ recent movements, it seems like Bartas is unable to move . Instead, he created the equipment with the supplied materials . ”

Well, Bartas was the king of dwarves .

He had an obligation to be responsible for his own kingdom .

As Muyoung just wanted the equipment from the beginning and not Bartas, he didn’t care .

‘The Immortal King’s power . ’

Muyoung’s best equipment was Anguish, and the next best was the Immortal King’s Breastplate . If he could wear the rest of the Immortal King’s equipment, he would be able to fight face to face with Enroth .

The box in front of him felt as if some kind of power was oozing out of it .

However, it felt ominous . If Anguish was a force that denied everything, the power from the box felt like it could activate a certain special effect on a particular individual .

Even Muyoung was stirred up by such strange sensations .

As if Kalmooh had noticed, he spoke bitterly .

“The item is beyond amazing . Even Bartas couldn’t believe it himself . I only saw it for a moment, but even I was totally awed by the finished equipment . But…”

“But?”

“The magical power of the equipment attracts monsters, and make them ferocious . ”

Indeed . Kalmooh appeared quite tired . It seemed like the path back wasn’t as smooth as he had expected .

However, to those who had intelligence, it didn’t have a great effect .

The influence was concentrated on the monsters that didn’t have intelligence and were faithful to their instincts .

Muyoung touched the box .

Then, as he opened the huge box, he was able to see something that looked like scales . Scales that were very transparent . It was lacking to be called a piece of equipment . No, it wasn’t even a piece of equipment .

“What is this?”

As Muyoung asked, Kalmooh replied .

“It’s a skin . ”

“Skin?”

“Bartas said that by combining the leather of moonlight and the Immortal King’s strength, that sort of form was created . As the moon represents eternity and immortality means endlessness… Bartas said that for a perishable entity to fully contain that sort of strength, it needs this sort of skin . ”

“Even Bartas doesn’t completely know?”

Bartas was definitely the one who created this . However, even Bartas didn’t seem to know what he had really created .

“He also said, ‘the true god of the great blacksmith had possessed me’ . ”

Did it mean Bartas created this while he was being possessed?

Muyoung grinned . It was no different than drunken truth .

Then, he turned his head and looked at the scales once more .

Unless he concentrated on it, it was so transparent that he couldn’t tell if the scales existed or not .

As Muyoung held it and focused on it, a message popped up .

Name: Eternity

Rank: ?

Classification: ?

Endurance: ?

Effect: ?

However, there wasn’t much information .

Besides the name, he couldn’t confirm anything .

It meant that he needed to wear it for him to really know its capabilities .

‘Eternity . ’

Eternity . A word that means endlessness .

‘A skin that draws monsters and makes them ferocious . ’

The equipment wouldn’t just cover your skin . It existed to ‘transform’ its accepted user . He was able to feel that kind of obsession .

Among the things that are considered as tools, people said that the ones that transform the user contain ‘evil’ . In that sense, this skin didn’t bring a positive effect .

However, it was the skin that contained Immortal King’s strength . If the breastplate he forcefully created was S+ rank, he was unsure how much power this skin would exhibit .

Additionally…

‘Tools are just tools . ’

Tools couldn’t affect him adversely . Tools exist to be used . The moment someone places too much meaning in a tool, the tool no longer exists as just a tool and consumes the user .

Muyoung started to take off all his clothing .

The scale skin was bigger than Muyoung’s body, but when he wore it, the skin shrank to fit him .

‘New skin . ’

Zzzap!

Every spot where it touched his skin, it felt sticky, like static cling .

Before long, the existing skin was dyed red and necrotized . And in that place, a new skin was formed .

It had killed what normally existed and it took its place .

The skin that was called ‘Eternity’ was transplanted to Muyoung . It didn’t feel different at all .

It felt like it was his natural skin .

However, such a natural sensation was only momentary .

“…!”

Muyoung frowned .

Rejection . The skin and body that had maintained their balance for a while became out of sync .

All his muscles felt twisted . It even influenced his bones and organs . He felt woozy . It has been a while since he felt this sort of pain . As he clenched his teeth, his eyeballs felt like they were going to pop out . His body twisted as he supported himself on the chair .

“L-lord! Are you okay?”

“Get… out . ”

As Muyoung gestured, Kalmooh swallowed his saliva and nodded .

Muyoung realized that it was a problem he needed to deal with on his own .

“Unless I call… don’t let anyone in . ”

After Muyoung spoke, the door closed with a thump .

In that state, Muyoung collapsed and sat next to the chair .

The whole body transformation was still continuing .

‘The power of the Immortal King . ’

This was all due to the strength of the Immortal King .

Muyoung was mortal . A human who was destined to die one day . However, immortals lived forever . Of course, the mortal and immortal couldn’t exist simultaneously in the same being . It didn’t make any sense to be able to use the skin with immortal power without any consequences .

‘I could die . ’

However, the price was too great .

If it wasn’t Muyoung, 99/100 would have died from in the beginning stage .

Muyoung was able to endure it as he was familiar with pain . Eventually, Muyoung shook his head .

‘I will live . I will survive . I will live until the end . ’

If he acquired the Immortal King’s skin, he would be able to use ‘Acceleration’ more freely .

Although Muyoung was able to accelerate himself up to 64 times, he wasn’t able to use it for long . There was a problem with the limitations of time, but mostly, it was because of his physical limits .

With this, he could to overcome that limit .

So, this amount of pain was nothing .

‘I… will overcome it . ’

Winning, winning, and winning were the only merits of Muyoung’s existence .

Muyoung vowed to win again this time .

***

“Gaudeamus . ”

As Sungmin chanted a spell, doors were instantly created in his vicinity .

As a door opened, hundreds of shackles would capture devils and blow them up .

Boooom!

Also, the hydra that was summoned from the third door had nine heads, which used nine different magics to mess with the devils .

‘Devils are like bees . ’

Sungmin compared devils to bees .

Without the queen bee, the bees couldn’t help but be confused . The devils only exist for the demon kings and demon gods and so, Sungmin compared them with bees .

The moment Demon King Roosevelt disappeared, the devils experienced extreme confusion .

In the meantime, as Sungmin raided, they become greatly disorganized .

At least, on this battlefield, the ruler was Sungmin .

‘I need to quickly move after wrapping up the situation here . ’

However, Sungmin was in a hurry .

This battle wasn’t all of it .

The main army Enroth led hadn’t even arrived yet .

In order to fight against a million demons, it was necessary to hasten things even by a little .

Especially, the two demon kings were the biggest obstacles .

Even if he had restricted Roosevelt, the demon king named Fraeda was still left .

So Sungmin was trying to quickly end this battle, and then assist Tacan and Ogar .

“Crush the enemies . ”

Sungmin swung his staff .

Then, the Earth gathered, and a few dozen golems appeared .

By now, the devils knew who led this battle .

“That lich, kill him!”

“If we kill the lich, it’s our victory!”

They formed groups of hundreds of devils and started to approach Sungmin .

Sungmin raised his staff and quickly spoke .

“Amadeus . ”

Kyaaaaaaaaack!

From the surroundings, a creepy scream could be heard .

Even the devils couldn’t help but cover their ears and shudder .

Then, Sungmin twirled his staff and cut 5 of the hydra’s heads off .

The neck that was cut would instantly regenerate, but a magical barrier was created .

By making a sacrifice, he had completed the summoning .

At that moment, a giant with messy hair appeared .

A cyclops as big as the hydra, as he looked down, blood flowed from his eye, and a red ray of light shot out .

Grrraawwwwwwl!

All devils who were touched by the ray disintegrated .

“What the hell?”

“A monster of void…?”

The devils were frantic . The void was a mysterious area, even for them . The monsters that emerged from that place were all strong and evil .

The witch, Beatrice .

The strongest monster Sungmin could summon wasn’t a hydra, but the witch, Beatrice .

Sungmin wasn’t just a simple lich .

An elder lich .

He, who was a lich king, could control the void .

“Let’s quickly end this . ”

Sungmin’s mind had already left this battlefield .

He was certain of his victory, and he was planning to move to help the other battle .

***

Enroth was moving with his huge fortress .

The fortress was Enroth’s Castle and a part of Enroth himself .

In his surrounding, hundreds of thousands of devils flew in the sky and protected the fortress .

“Enroth, the advance teams have been attacked . ”

Enroth sat on a huge throne in the middle of the fortress .

As a devil bowed down as far as he could to show his respect and reported this, Enroth just nodded his head .

“I already know . ”

“Roosevelt has disappeared, and Fraeda has escaped with a few soldiers . ”

“I also am aware of this . ”

Enroth had already seen everything .

He was figuring out the enemy’s tactics through the demon king’s fights .

“What should we do?”

The devils around him averted their gaze .

The two demon kings have failed . The impossible had happened .

The advance team . Although their numbers were small, as they were defeated even with the demon kings, Enroth wouldn’t just quietly watch .

After watching his crowd, Enroth slowly spoke .

“Send out ‘Balrog’ . ”

Instantly, the devils’ eyes widened .

“Balrog…!”

“Isn’t it too dangerous?”

Balrog was one of the monsters Enroth couldn’t fully control .

He was a strong ancient devil and a mad destroyer!

Everywhere Balrog went, everything was shattered .

Thus, the nickname given to Balrog was ‘Omen of the Ruin’ .

Simply by looking at the combat power, Balrog was stronger than the three demon kings .

But, to send out Balrog?

Just sending him out wasn’t a problem . But in order to retrieve him, quite a lot of sacrifice would have to be made .

The fact that Enroth mentioned Balrog nevertheless… .

“I have not seen all of their cards yet . ”

It was to fully grasp what his enemies were capable of .

By sending out Balrog, they wouldn’t have room to hold back .

They would need to show all their cards, and in that process, they would show what they were hiding .

Enroth was going to completely destroy his enemies .
