Chapter 198: Saving Ebratam

‘Who?’

Among the High-Class Demons, very few were able to use Hellfire. Who came?

*Bam* *Bam* *Bam*

In the meantime, various spells began to land on Elota.

“Ahh!”

Elota let out a shriek of pains.

Dehelen turned his head with a look of relief to see who came to the aid. But he could not help but be even more surprised.

‘Human?’

__________

“It’s a Balrog!”

Yeon Jeung exclaimed.

“Hellfire.”

Soo Hyuk cast Hellfire towards the Balrog.

“Fireball, Fire Spear, Dark Spear, Poison Spear, Poison Ball.”

Then he continued to cast magic towards the Balrog.

“Ahh!”

The Balrog began to scream. Of course, the screams did not last long. She died before the poison spear even arrived.

-Acquired Balrog’s Soulstone

-Acquired Balrog’s Blood

-Acquired Balrog’s Horn

-Acquired Balrog’s Tendon

-Acquired Special Spirit

As the Balrog fell, countless items dropped, all of them were expensive items. However, the drop window did not come into Soo Hyuk’s eyes.

“Yeon Jeung, let us go over there! *Blink!”

Soo Hyuk cast Blink and moved in front of the demon who was fighting the Barlog. Then he took

out Cranosson’s mark from his inventory and showed it to him.

When the demon saw the mark, he was very astonished while Soo Hyuk asked.

“Is this all the Barlogs?”

“No. There are two more. Please help!”

The demon shouted in an urgent voice.

Three Balrogs have attacked the city of Ebratam.

One died by your hands while two remain.

Dehelen, a High-Class demon and the leader of Ebratam city, wants you to stop these two Balrogs.

[Barlogs Defeated: 1 / 3]

Quest Reward: ???

Then the quest appeared.

“I see. Where are they?”

[You have accepted the quest ‘The Balrogs Invading the City of Ebratam’.]

Soo Hyuk accepted the quest without even reading it. What was important now was not the quest content.

‘Library.’

A city must have a library. If you delay time like this, the Balrogs may destroy the library.

Soo Hyuk’s head was filled with these thoughts only.

“I, I will guide you!”

Dehelton took the lead and started running.

“Soo Hyuk!”

And just in time, Yeon Jeung arrived.

Soo Hyuk got into the passenger seat and said to Yeon Jeung.

“Follow that demon!”

“Okay!”

Yeon Jeung followed Dehelen in the wagon.

“Hunting Barlogs.”

Since they were in a party, Yeon Jeung received the quest ‘The Balrogs Invading the City of Ebratam’.

Yeon Jeung did not receive any experience points or items through the killing of the first barlog. However, he was not disappointed at all, because he even rejected receiving any items or experience points when he did nothing.

‘What reward will it give me?’

It was because the quest compensation was marked as unknown.

‘It wouldn’t be a normal reward.’

A Barlog was strong enough to almost kill a High-Class Demon, he had no doubts that the corresponding rewards to the mission would be great.

Yeon Jeung looked at Soo Hyuk sitting in the passenger seat while driving the wagon.

‘Thank you so much.’

He was very grateful to Soo Hyuk for bringing him to the Demon World.

*Bang*

It was then that he heard a loud pounding noise. Yeon Jeung looked at where the noise came from. A building was collapsing, and many demons were running away.

“Oh! Another one has arrived!”

The Balrog walked out of the collapsed building.

It was clear that he had felt the energy of Dehelen.

“‘Child of Darkness’, ‘Child of Darkness’.”

Soo Hyuk summoned the ‘Children of Darkness’.

“Kill that Balrog over there.”

“Why are you so weak!”

Balrog Dolgen stretched out his fists towards the High-Class Demons Onimel and Aruta.

A deep red energy was coating Dolgen’s fists, the red energy then flew to Onimel and Aruta, respectively.

“Do not avoid it!”

Onimel shouted as he ran toward the red energy. He could not avoid it, as demons have not yet evacuated.

“I know!”

Aruta also ran towards the red energy like Onimel.

Soon, Onimel and Aruta collided with the red energy.

*Bam* *Bam*

They flew backwards with a roar, they stopped flying only after knocking down the building behind them.

The shock was enormous.

Onimel got up from his place with a painful look on his face and thought while looking at Dolgen.

‘Damn it, if it is like this even one more High-Class Demon will not do it.’

Dolgen was so strong that they would not be able to defeat him with three High-Class Demons like most Barlogs.

Suddenly Dolgen disappeared from his place.

“Surprise!”

Dolgen appeared right in front of Onimel.

“This bastard.”

Onimel stretched his fist towards Dolgen. However, perhaps because Dolgen’s arm was longer his fist exploded first.

The destructive power contained in Dolgen’s fist was so great that Onimel’s body pierced the ground.

“Cough!”

Onimel collapsed spitting blood and did not move anymore. He was not dead though you could still feel his faint amount of energy.

“Onimel!”

Aruta swung his sword at Dolgen, shouting Onimel’s name.

Dolgen stretched out his foot blocking Aruta’s sword. Then he turned behind him and kicked with his other foot.

Aruta flew once more and crashed into a building.

‘Damn.’

Aruta no longer had the strength to move. It was even difficult to keep hold of the sword.

It was when Aruta was looking desperately at Dolgen.

“Oh! Another one has arrived!”

Dolgen turned his head and looked to his left and cried.

‘This energy!’

And Aruta felt a familiar aura.

‘Dehelen!’

It was Dehelen’s energy.

‘Did he take care of the Barlog at the North Gate?’

He heard that Dehelen was going to stop the Balrog at the North Gate.

However, his arrival meant that the Barlog had been taken care of, which meant that the reinforcements had arrived.

There was no way he could have defeated the Barlog alone.

‘I’m glad.’

Aruta grinned through the excruciating pain he was feeling. It was because even though the building collapsed there were no dead demons in here.

‘What the hell are you doing!?’

At the next moment Aruta couldn’t help but be embarrassed when he saw Dehelen and his ‘reinforcements’.

‘Humans?’

It was only humans that he saw with Dehelen.

‘Are my eyes damaged?’

Could it be that Dolgen attacks damaged his eyesight?

“Ahh!”

Suddenly Dolgen’s screams were heard.

Aruta turned his head to look at Dolgen. However, he was embarrassed by what he saw.

‘What is that?’

Black beings were tying Dolgen’s body with something black.

‘Is it a spirit?’

*Bam* *Bam* *Bam*

Meanwhile, spells exploded on Dolgen’s body, and an amazing thing happened.

Dolgen fell to his knees and bowed his head. Energy was no longer felt from his body, he was dead.

‘What?’

Even though Aruta had seen it with his own eyes, it was hard to believe that Dolgen was dead.

Dolgen, who was full of life and destruction a few minutes ago, died within a few seconds.

Aruta laboriously turned his head again, then he looked at the humans next to Dehelen.

‘Was it those humans doing?’

Dehelen cannot use magic and the black beings near Dolgen were obviously magic related. In other words, it was the humans’ doing. But what did they do?

He was curious about why they were here and what their identity was.

“This way!”

Dehelen shouted and started running towards the south gate.

‘Dehelen being that respectful?’

Aruta was bewildered once again. Who was Dehelen?

Among the High-Class Demons, if the class was further divided into upper, middle, and lower classes, Dehelen was in the upper class. His future is bright enough to become a top-class demon in 50 years, so Dehelen, was only respectful to few people. And that Dehelen is respectful to humans.

‘Who are they?’

Aruta’s curiosity grew even more.

‘I will find out later.’

But is it because he started to relieve his tension? Pain started flaring all over his body, therefore he closed his eyes and started focusing on healing his body by moving his magic energy.

______

‘Now only one is left.’

Having killed an additional Balrog, there was now only one left. If he hunts just one more the city of Ebratam will be safe.

*Bam* *Bang*

A loud noise was heard.

He thought it might be related to the last Barlog. His prediction was spot on.

*Bang*

A building collapsed and a demon was thrown out of it.

“Ekelate!”

Seeing the demon Dehelen exclaimed.

*Bam*

Another explosion erupted from the collapsed building and a Balrog walked out. A demon was caught in his grasp.

“Oh, it would have been a disaster if I had been a little late. I almost had to face all three demons at the same time.”

The Barlog found Dehelen and said with a smirk.

‘What do I do?’

Soo Hyuk frowned.

The demon in the Balrog’s grasp was still alive. Which made it difficult to attack. It was because Hellfire or Fire Spear would cause collateral damage.

“Aim only for the Balrog.”

Soo Hyuk quietly gave orders to the ‘Children of Darkness’. Then, the ‘Children of Darkness’ turned around in the form of a black circle and sneaked onto the Barlog.

“Huh? What is that?”

After looking at Dehelen, the Barlog found Soo Hyuk and Yeon Jeung.

“Humans?”

He looked surprised.

“Nonsense! How did humans get here?”

The Balrog smiled wildly.

“I can enjoy delicacies after a long time!”

Then he licked his lips and threw the demon he was holding to the other side.

Dehelen moved swiftly and secured the unconscious demon.

“Hellfire!”

Soo Hyuk also cast Hellfire.

“Flame.”

And then he cast Flame.

“Uh?”

The Balrog uttered an embarrassed sound at Hellfire and Flame that suddenly appeared and began to burn him.

“Ahh!”

“Magic Missile, Poison Spear, Poison Ball, Dark Spear.”

Hearing the Balrog scream, Soo Hyuk started firing magic missiles and other spells.

And as it has always been, the Balrog soon died.

-Acquired 3 Balrog’s Soul Stones

-Acquired 5 Barlog’s Blood.

-Acquired 4 Balrog’s Horns

-Acquired 4 Balrog’s Tendons

-Acquired 2 Special Spirits

Soo Hyuk looked at the drop window and collected all the items dropped by the three Balrogs. He killed the three Barlogs, now it is over. There is no longer any threat to Ebratam.

Nevertheless, Suhyuk’s expression was still serious.

“Thank you. Thank you very much.”

Dehelen approached him and bowed his head in gratitude.

[You have completed the quest ‘The Balrogs Invading the City of Ebratam’.]

The quest was completed, Soo Hyuk checked the message and told Dehelen.

“I have a question for you.”

“Sure, ask anything.”

“Perhaps….”
