The King of the Battlefield

Chapter 233: What are you going to give me (3)

Enroth.

The demon king that was an undead in the past but had now become an undead thanks to Muyoung.

He knew a vast amount of spells as expected of an underling of Amon and his magic power was as vast as that.

‘Shar-Shazar got killed in the explosion inside the barrier with Roosevelt.’

The first one that got turned into an undead was Shar-Shazar but he ended up dying in the battle with Roosevelt.

But Enroth was above all of them.

Muyoung couldn’t help but think about how he would be ‘using’ Enroth.

“Speak what you currently know about the demon gods.”

If you become an undead you suffer inevitable damage in your body. Although Muyoung returned him through how he normally was through a prayer of ‘Als Nova’ there could still be defects in Enroth’ memory.

But it was Enroth’ we were talking about. He must know a lot of things about the war between demon gods.

Information was power and Muyoung was more careful than ever.

Enroth turned his head with dead eyes.

“The Underworld belongs to the demons… The purge of the opposition has already been executed halfway…”

It meant that they would only leave demons in the Underworld.

It also meant that they would exterminate all other lifeforms and the ones that were opposed to it were called the ‘opposition party’.

“How many of the opposition party are there?”

“Five. Murmur, Gremory, Forneus, Seatree, Asmodai.”

This was the reason the opposition party could only lose in the first place.

They were overwhelmed in numbers. The ones that were ‘opposed’ to it were merely 10 demon gods.

They had endured for more than tens of years with that number so you could say that that by itself was impressive, but the situation was turning quickly.

Acceleration.

If a few more years passed like this, the seeds of the opposing party would completely dry up.

It was then. Enroth continued to speak.

“The 54 thrones. Succeeded in making contact with ‘Murmur’…Found out the ‘condition’ of the opposing party. But due to an unknown ‘interference’ and Diablos’ movements, time was delayed…”

His words got cut at parts.

It was because they weren’t able to restore his memories completely.

But there were things that entered Muyoung’s ears quite clearly.

“Condition? Are you talking about the ‘extinction condition’ of the demon gods?”

“That’s right. I heard about Gremory’s, Forneus’, Seatree’s, Asmodais’ condition from ‘Murmur’.”

“So what is the condition?”

“……”

Enroth shut his mouth.

It was because he didn’t know. Even though he was the strongest demon king, an ‘extinction condition’ was a secret among secrets even within the demon gods. It was utterly impossible that they would tell him that.

‘I lack information.’

Muyoung continued asking a few more things after that but Enroth didn’t know a lot of things contrary to his expectations.

He could feel a clear line separating demon kings and demon gods here.

He needed someone that knew a lot about demon gods.

But only demon gods know about other demon gods.

And the only demon god Muyoung could make contact with was ‘Gremory’.

However, getting close to Gremory meant that he would be entering the fight in earnest.

If he entered the fight then he wouldn’t have strength left to gather information. He would just be moving as he was swept by the storm.

Information…He needed more information.

At that moment someone passed through his mind.

“Dantalian. Tell me everything you know about him.”

Enroth answered unobstructed at this question.

“Renegade. Freak. A being of the ‘cornerstone’.”

Words that were more offensive than he thought came out.

But more than that, a being of the cornerstone.

‘It means that he’s an outsider.’

Well, he never heard that Dantalian moved together with someone.

It meant that the easiest demon god to approach was Dantalian.

And Muyoung knew someone that could help him get close to Dantalian.

“Bae Sungmin!”

The moment Muyoung yelled, a black circle appeared in the floor and a much stronger Bae Sungmin than before appeared.

“Did you call?”

Muyoung spoke with no hesitation.

“Call Azul. If he doesn’t cooperate then make him kneel down in front of me.”

Azul!

Originally a demon king subordinate to Dantalian.

Muyoung helped him get past the ‘Sky Lord’ but he also ran away when he knew that there was a war going with Enroth.

If that’s the case he should also know about this subject with Dantalian.

Bae Sungmin thought about it for a moment and bowed.

“Two days is enough.”

“The faster the better it is.”

“Can I ask for the reason?”

It seemed like it even made Bae Sungmin curious.

Muyoung answered like it was nothing.

“I am going to meet Dantalian.”

“Are you talking about the 71st demon god? But he is a dangerous being.”

Dantalian. He was more famous for his truth mixed in with lies rather than his power. The number of victims that got deceived by him are uncountable.

Even ‘Muldurdun’, that once ruled the sea, got deceived by Dantalian and lost his body.

But those tricks didn’t work on Muyoung.

If you add the ability to sympathize to Muyoung’s ability to distinguish lies, then it wasn’t an exaggeration to say that Dantalian’s natural enemy was Muyoung.

Not only that.

Muyoung had Gabriel’s power too.

“I won’t get dazed by him.”

“…I understand. I will go capture Azul the fastest I can.”

Those were the words Muyoung said.

Muyoung didn’t speak at all if he wasn’t confident.

Having claimed that meant that he was that confident.

To even win against the prodigy of lies, Dantalian.

Bae Sungmin hid himself in the shadows again.

‘Dantalian.’

Muyoung wiped his chin.

He knew many things.

Perhaps he may also know the truth of this world.

He knew that Earth had been destroyed so perhaps he may also know about Solomon.

Muyoung needed to meet him to confirm that.

And if he doesn’t cooperate…

‘I’m curious whether I can turn a demon god into an undead.’

Muyoung shrugged his shoulders.

“Damn it!”

That was the first thing Azul said when he saw Muyoung.

Bae Sungmin said that he would take two days but it didn’t even take that.

Only half a day had passed but Azul was already in front of Muyoung.

It was late in the night and Azul’s vexing expression was a masterpiece.

“You didn’t die even after getting attacked by Shar-Shazar! But do you really think I will spill something just because you managed to catch me!?”

Azul cursed out but he couldn’t even move. It was because Bae Sungmin’s magic power was tying his entire body.

“Do you think someone like Shar-Shazar can do something to me?”

Muyoung smirked.

And Azul put a sour expression.

“Did you defeat Shar-Shazar? Then you are in a bigger danger. You will get attacked by Enroth soon. The Demon King of Steel Enroth! Roosevelt and Fraeda will charge in like wolves. If you aren’t planning on leaving me in the same place you will die, then…!”

It seemed like Azul didn’t know that Muyoung had come out victorious in all the wars.

Well, the time Azul escaped was right after hearing Shar-Shazar’s story so he could be unaware about the war that took place after that.

Clap!

Muyoung clapped his hands.

And then Enroth surged up from behind Muyoung.

“…Wh, what is it! Why is he along with you!?”

Azul got astonished.

Shar-Shazar, Roosevelt, Fraeda… they were all famous demon kings, but their master was Enroth.

Enroth’ reputation soared to the sky. At least for the demon kings, Enroth was someone they respected, revered and feared.

Azul was also a demon king. There was no way he didn’t know of Enroth’ reputation.

“Enroth decided to enter under my command.”

Muyoung spoke naturally.

Azul’s eyes turned really big.

His entire body trembled.

Something impossible had occurred right in front of him.

“This…Crazy…”

“Let’s move on with the next thing. You said that you made ‘trades’, and I’m ready to respond to that ‘trade’.”

Muyoung looked at Bae Sungmin.

And then Bae Sungmin released his magic power.

Azul became free but he couldn’t move at all.

He felt fear the moment he made eye contact with Enroth.

‘It clearly looks like he’s afraid of Enroth.’

Azul was also a demon king. There was no way he would escape even if Shar-Shazar invaded. But the story changed if it was Enroth we were talking about.

In the first place, Azul had escaped knowing that Enroth was the one behind Shar-Shazar.

Azul closed his eyes and said.

“Trade? I will listen to one of your wishes if you let me out of this crazy place. But, it has to be something that is doable.”

“Then it gets simple.”

Muyoung got in front of Azul. He then grabbed Azul’s neck and looked at him fixedly.

“Dantalian, where is he?”

Azul’s expression changed once again.

He was trembling in fear but it looked like he was quite bewildered.

He wouldn’t know why Muyoung was looking for Dantalian so that was an obvious reaction.

“Why are you looking for Dantalian? No, even if I know the reason I don’t know where he is. Tens of years have passed already since I got away from him. There’s no way I could know the whereabouts of that tedious bastard, right?”

‘A lie.’

Muyoung laughed inwardly.

Azul was lying.

He was speaking quite calmly but he couldn’t trick Muyoung.

‘But it seems like there’s still a tinge of respect left in him.’

Azul was originally under the command of Dantalian.

Even if a lot of time has passed since he got away from him he should have still wanted to hold some kind of respect for him.

“Do you know how Enroth entered under my command?”

“Don’t tell me. I don’t even want to know!”

Azul felt a really dangerous scent from Muyoung.

It wasn’t like this when he first met him but it felt like his nose would get paralyzed now.

He shouldn’t get close to people like this. The moment he does he will die.

Muyoung ignored Azul and opened his mouth.

“Demon kings could also be turned into undead.”

“…!”

Azul looked at Enroth once again.

Now that he looked at him properly he definitely didn’t seem normal.

Unnatural movements. For there to be a crazy bastard turning a demon king into an undead!

On top of that, that undead was Enroth.

“Amon… Amon will get enraged. You… won’t be able to cope with that rage. No matter which demon god you choose to serve, no one will be able to protect you.”

Azul trembled. Even his teeth were trembling.

It seemed like Azul thought that Muyoung was a demon king like himself.

However.

“I’m below no one. Also, I don’t fear Amon.”

Basically, Muyoung wasn’t a demon.

Even if he was one, he wasn’t even thinking of receiving help from someone to avoid danger.

Azul looked at Muyoung.

If he doesn’t have any masters or demon gods serving, then what is this guy?

He doesn’t fear the demon god of the 5th seat, the almighty Amon?

Does that mean that he became a demon god that’s on the same ground as him?

One certain thing is that he would end up speaking even if he doesn’t speak at all.

If even Enroth was turned into an undead, then there was no reason Muyoung wouldn’t be able to do it with him.

Muyoung grabbed Azul’s hair.

“The reason I’m showing you the least bit of good will is because we have already made a ‘trade’ once. Azul, you are really useful you know? I realized that you were someone I could trust at least when we were doing a ‘trade’. That’s why… I hope you agree.”

It was the real seduction of the demons.

‘Damn it!’

Azul felt like he was falling in a swamp.

A really deep swamp that he wouldn’t be able to get out of!

Azul’s shoulders slumped.
