Chapter 266: A War with the Demon Gods (9)

“……”

Muyoung stood . His charred, broken, brittle hands now had flesh, and he reached out to touch his face and head .

‘I live?’

Muyoung furrowed his brow . Diablo was still alive after having regenerated once more and killed Muyoung . Meyoung had recognized his death and closed his eyes for the final time .

“My husband! He is alive!”

Another strange thing was that Muyoung saw a fairy in front of him . Was this a dream? However, Muyoung disregarded this notion because he knew that this was reality, and a harsh one at that .

‘The Seven Trials . ’

Muyoung thought he had seen those words when he opened his eyes . ‘The Seven Trials’ was the name of the power he had taken from the doppleganger . It was a mythical power that could be used to resurrect up to seven times . However, there was a penalty for each revival, and a reminder page in his status viewer popped up to refresh Muyoung’s memory .

Skill name: ‘The Seven Trials’ (None) The Immortal King overcame the impossible and perilous seven trials and earned seven lives . Lives left: Six . One loses something important for every revival .

What did Muyoung lose that was important to him? He turned back the dial on the status viewer . Everything was as Muyoung remembered in terms of statistics and skills . Muyoung confirmed that nothing was different .

“My husband! I was so worried . But don’t worry, I come with a way to crush that thing!”

“Who are you?”

Muyoung pinched his forehead . His head hurt worse than when his body had crumbled .

“Yes?”

The fairy stopped still as a statue by Muyoung’s question .

“I don’t know who you are but move aside . I have no time to play with you . ”

Muyoung forced himself to stand up . He was in the middle of a battle, and while he was not fully healed, there was no time to rest . He still had six lives left . Diablo could not revive limitlessly if it had similar powers as Muyoung .

‘Let’s see who finishes first . ’

Muyoung gripped Anguish, and it wailed in pain as his energies flowed . Muyoung ignored Anguish’s moans of disobedience . Crimson Balrog shouted not from agony, but to announce Muyoung’s revival .

“You did well . ”

Crimson Balrog’s condition was gruesome, but his delight in seeing Muyoung’s revival was as if he was healed . With a thud, Crimson Balrog’s body crumbled . It was a miracle he had endured up to this time . Amon and Gremory had also gone down .

‘Am I the only one left?’

Muyoung still felt as if his head would burst . He saw the Hell Horse stand beside him as if to answer Muyoung’s question with a nay . (P/E: Or “neigh” . Lol!)

“You, you’re the Hell Horse . ”

Muyoung barely managed to recognize him, and time seemed not to be the reason why his memory was so hazy . Was this a side effect of reviving, or a temporary phenomenon? Muyoung shook his head . It was not the time to contemplate such things .

Hundreds of unicorns gathered as the Hell Horse whinnied . They may buy Muyoung some time since unicorns had water and divine properties .

“You have no obligation to help me . ”

However, Muyoung shook his head since he knew that the Hell Horse no longer needed to act on Muyoung’s behalf . Muyoung had already received help three times, and the Kingslayer was no more . The Hell Horse was free, but he also did not listen to Muyoung’s words .

Instead, the Hell Horse charged at Diablo before Muyoung did . The Hell Horse had always been like that and would act by his own whims rather than listen to Muyoung .

Muyoung spread his wings . ‘Once more . ’ He was not yet down and had some strength left . Muyoung would fight, and as his sword cut through the void with a whirring noise, a massive shock wave crashed like a Tidal Wave of Sound on Diablo .

Diablo screamed again, and in a battle between monsters, a myth met another myth .

“My husband…”

Woohee was struck dumb for a moment and stared at Muyoung’s back . How could he ask who she was? Did he really forget her? It had been a long time since they had met, and Muyoung was always a bit impassive towards Woohee . But he had asked Woohee who she was .

While Woohee had been a most optimistic individual, she was so flabbergasted that she froze where she stood .

“This is not the time . ”

Woohee came to her senses because she knew Muyoung could not defeat Diablo since it was an illusion, a God who did not exist!

‘Husband, you must believe in me . ’

It did not matter if Muyoung had really forgotten her . Woohee was Woohee, and Muyoung was Muyoung . Woohee would be with Muyoung, and for her to do so, he had to be alive . So, Diablo had to be removed, and Muyoung had to trust Woohee completely to do so .

‘The summoner has to be somewhere nearby . ’

Woohee quickly looked around . While everyone was down, they were not annihilated . She could find Muyoung’s subordinates hiding in the corner, including the high elves Ain and Snow .

‘It’s that woman!’

Woohee’s wings fluttered . Snow was Diablo’s summoner, or to be more exact, she built the ‘illusion’ that was Diablo . Snow was necessary to remove Diablo, and Diablo could be defeated .

“Little fairy, where are you going?”

However, Solomon appeared and held Woohee’s wings . While Solomon could not physically intervene, all fairies, including Woohee were under a contract with Solomon to create a trial and could gain a ‘house’ according to the profits of the said trial .
