Chapter 265: A War with the Demon Gods (8)

Gremory turned her head to see the sword she had lent him completed without her help . Everyone, including Gremory, the demons, and Diablo, stopped moving as Anguish shattered the battlefield with blinding light . Muyoung changed as he held the sword, and his Enormous Presence started to crush everyone .

‘You really exceed my expectations . ’

Gremory would have lost, but everything changed after Muyoung appeared . She did not know what would happen, but things were moving forward finally . Muyoung had awakened Gremory’s numbed emotions . Was this because he was the master of Anguish? Gremory might be feeling . . anguished .

‘What are you going to change? What can you change?’

Solomon wanted the death of everything so he can create anew in a barren, lifeless world . Baal wanted for only the demons to live . Gremory hated their radical choices because they would bring destruction to the world .

However, Muyoung was different because he wanted to encompass all . He was going that path despite knowing it was impossible .

‘The New Path…’

Gremory was first suspicious . She wanted to keep Muyoung in check because he extinguished Lerajie, and he tried to use her . However, after a while, to her, Muyoung changed . Gremory still did not know what Muyoung was thinking, but she saw that he was relentless in achieving his goal .

Therefore, she naturally kept her distance, and Amon was the same . Amon assisted Muyoung by his own volition when Muyoung faced Diablo . The two had been locked in a life or death struggle just before they met their common enemy . It was normally impossible for two who bore such hatred twords each other to become allies like this, but Muyoung made it possible .

‘There’s no going back for us . ’

Gremory clasped her hands together, and dozens of petals flew in the sky and came together to protect Muyoung .

‘Muyoung, please win . ’

With an ear-shattering shriek, Anguish cut Diablo’s skin, and flame gushed from the wound in a torrent . Muyoung stepped back, and Amon created few gates that swallowed the flames and dissipated . They worked for only a moment, but it was enough for Muyoung to get away .

Diablo was livid, and thousands of flames flew toward Muyoung . Amon stopped them by building massive ice pillars .

“Do not delude yourself! I only thought that killing Diablo was necessary!”

Amon’s tone was that of a proud child throwing a tantrum, because things did not go the way he wanted, but Muyoung ignored it and raised his sword .

‘My attack is effective . ’

Anguish could cut into Diablo after having evolved and completed . However, Diablo’s flesh immediately regenerated . Diablo’s healing abilities were that of divinity, but there was a possibility now . It was a slight chance, but it had to be enough . Massive dams could crumble from a tiny leak, and that regenerating ability could not be infinite .

“Join me . ”

“There’s no time to rest!”

So, the King of the Dead entered the battlefield with a complaint after cleaning up the leftover demons along with Tacan and Crimson Balrog . Diablo was one while Muyoung had several allies . He had a chance with them, Amon’s magic, and Gremory’s defense .

“Attack the wounds before they regenerate . ”

Muyoung’s plan was a simple one . They would widen the cracks by pouring different attacks if Muyoung was not enough .

With a ringing noise, Diablo struck the ground with its tail, and soon massive flame pillars that stretched to the sky surrounded them .

‘Accelerate . ’

Muyoung’s time flowed the slowest as it could go . Only Muyoung could move at full speed . However, Muyoung’s bones were cracking, and his skin was peeling off because he had used it several times already .

It was no time to stop, and Muyoung calmly went through the flames and struck with the force of a landslide . Diablo’s chest split open, and even in a world slowed down by 128 times, Diablo’s wound began to heal . Diablo’s abilities were daunting, and he did not have time to put in the second and third strikes .

However, Diablo was not the only one to match Muyoung’s speed, and Tacan struck with the hard won skills he aquired fighting for decades under Muyoung’s banner . Crimson Balrog than grabbed the ripped wound and tore it open with his strength . It was not enough .

‘Second strike . ’

Diablo bit Crimson Balrog’s neck . There was a scream as the flame from Diablo’s teeth burned Crimson Balrog’s entire body . However, the hands that held the wound remained firm .

Anguish began to move faster, and Muyoung began to move as if he was dancing . Diablo was screaming as Muyoung’s sword was dismantling Diablo . However, Muyoung’s bones were twisting as the burden of using his sword in this slowed down world almost overwhelmed him .

’The 51st stance . The Evil Slayer . ’

Finally, Muyoung could strike the finishing blow . The true use of ‘Evil Slayer’ was to cut through the fifty lines Muyoung had carved into Diablo’s entire body . Muyoung flew the sky and pierced Diablo’s heart . The lines that stretched over Diablo’s frame connected at once when Muyoung stopped . With a crashing noise, Diablo’s body crumbled .

Solomon watched Muyoung’s movements and could not hide his surprise . Muyoung had become stronger, and the power of the sword magnified and became complete . Seeing a weapon that held divinity was an extraordinary experience, even for Solomon . Then, Muyoung became one with the sword to overwhelm Diablo .

Solomon laughed . A human was driving a God away .

‘He has transcended the limits of humanity . ’

Muyoung was human but had exceeded the limits of its race . So, was he a god? However, the only god was Solomon . Muyoung was only a halfling who stole what was Solomon’s to gain strength . If he fell into despair and was ruined, Muyoung would fall into the void . He would become the same as the Masters in the Darkness .

Diablo’s body crumbled and fell on the ground . If Solomon lost Diablo, he could no longer influence the demon world . Solomon laughed even though he had lost the Angel of Time and the Prayer of Miracles .

“You cannot win against Diablo . ”

The moment Diablo’s body crumbled, Muyoung saw multi-layered flame pillars spread on the ground . The world errupted in the true conflagration that even Muyoung could not easily approach . When the flames stopped, Muyoung could hardly believe his eyes .

‘I had cut through the grain of his lines . ’

Muyoung had not seen a creature that could regenerate after he had cut the grain of its existence . No matter how high the creature’s regenerating abilities were, this granted the true death . Muyoung had never suspected that his attack would fail .

However, Diablo had regenerated in flames with a thundering shout . Another disaster was that Diablo’s flames had become even stronger .

“Was he really…”

Was Diablo really going to burn the entire world? Muyoung raised his sword, but his arm trembled . ‘Evil Slayer’ had taken most of his strength . If he was prepared to die, maybe he could use it once more .

‘I won’t give up . ’

Muyoung still had his strength left and could move . Then, Muyoung would FIGHT!

The entire demon world saw the massive flame pillars that rose to the sky, and everyone shook at sight . Woohee was one of them .

“Black horse, faster, faster! We have to go to my husband!”

Woohee pestered the Hell Horse . The horse also saw the sight, and while his instincts screamed to run away, Muyoung seemed to be there . The Hell Horse raised its speed, and many unicorns followed him .

The site was miserable . The ashes over the earth blacken the land . Diablo was undiminished, and Crimson Balrog was opposing him, but his body was at the limits . Crimson Balrog’s arm was ripped off, his eyes were blind, and his horns were broken . However, Crimson Balrog did not step back for the sole reason of protecting Muyoung .

“Damn . ”

Tacan’s head rolled on the ground . Gremory and Amon were beyond recovery . Diablo pierced Crimson Balrog’s heart, and he bit Diablo’s head in turn .

Muyoung was right behind Crimson Balrog . His wings were burned, and his entire body had burst and twisted until the bones showed . However, not a drop of blood fell because of the burns . Muyoung’s regenerating abilities were no longer working .

“Dear husband!”

Woohee immediately flew to Muyoung when she arrived, and the Hell Horse looked around him with sorrowful eyes . The unicorns surrounded Muyoung and sang the song of recovery, but Muyoung could not move a muscle .

“Please, don’t go! I’m here! Open your eyes!”

Woohee’s large eyes filled with tears, but the Hell Horse only held her back . They had been late, and Muyoung was not breathing . Crimson Balrog resisted to the end, refusing to believe Muyoung’s death to the end .

“Please, no! You can’t die! I’m sorry!”

Woohee’s tears flowed down her cheeks and wet Muyoung’s body . It was that moment when Muyoung’s body restored life as if she had poured water on dry ground . It was an impossible phenomenon, Woohee’s tears had created a miracle . Muyoung was able to open his eyes when his burnt wings finished regenerating .
