Conquering the Other World (3)
The level of demons that ruled Devore varied greatly.
Starting from a level that falls far short of transcendence, to an entity that has grown to the level just below that of the Great Devil.
Demons gain strength from karma and fear related to their nickname, so not only effort but also innate power was a very important factor in developing their abilities.
No matter how hard you worked, if your nickname was something like ‘theft,’ there was a limit to your ability to move up.
In that sense, the earth, which was completely devastated and overflowing with negative emotions, was like a land of opportunity for the demons who had not been treated well.
About a hundred years ago.
When the gates of hell opened in this world.
All the low-level demons who had been trapped in the depths of hell and receiving small amounts of money through petty contractors burst out to the surface.
In a world like that, there was no need to rely solely on contractors you didn’t like.
Demons roamed the world and enjoyed their freedom to the fullest, and the karma and fear they earned in the process became their strength.
That was the everyday scene in this destroyed world right now.
A playground for devils and a fish farm to squeeze out nutrients.
In fact, they could have made humans extinct at any time if they wanted to, but they didn’t do that.
The penalties he had to endure upon coming to earth, such as losing his immortality, are no longer a big problem.
It might have been in the early days when the gates of hell had just opened, or in the middle of the last resistance’s resistance, but now that all humans had been reduced to no better than livestock, there was no one left who dared to resist the devil.
Sigh—!
“Ugh!”
Therefore, the phenomenon currently occurring around the world was a huge surprise that no one in the world could have predicted.
Demons dying one by one from the sudden attack of the Army of Death.

“Kaaah! What? What the hell! “How can you be undead like this!”
And of course.
The list of victims included not only low-level entities such as ‘devils of fraud’, but also high-level entities that were recognized in their own right within the demon society.
“I expected a little because it was a sword demon… This is very disappointing. “I was hoping that I would be able to relax for the first time in a while.”
The sword demon, wearing the shell of a sturdy adult male, gritted his teeth fiercely and glared at the uninvited guest muttering lowly in front of him.
A middle-aged man wearing a black gi of a strange style and holding a long sword.
He looked uncharacteristically peaceful for someone who had just cut off one of his wrists.
‘I? You got stabbed? ‘I am the sword demon?!’
He glanced down at his severed right hand, which was rolling on the floor while holding the sword tightly, and his face distorted.
No matter how much he fought with a sword while disguised as a human being, it was absolutely impossible for him, a sword demon, to be defeated by an opponent with a sword.
If other demons found out about this, they would be ridiculed for hundreds of years to come.
Even if the opponent is not a human but an undead…
[This is absolutely unacceptable! I will definitely tear you to pieces!]
A sharp anticipation erupted from his body as he burst into wild spirit.
And right after that.
A huge blade shot out from his severed wrist.
The changes didn’t stop there.
Fuhuaak—! Tdu-duk!
His body swelled, and all kinds of swords protruded from his body.
Greatswords, longswords, shortswords, and even deformed swords shaped like saw blades or sickles.
Before he knew it, his healthy left hand had five sharp blades instead of fingers, and his hair had become a long, thin sword, reflecting light here and there.
[This body is a sword demon! The sword is everything that refers to me! Your attacks will never reach me!]
A giant monster over 6 meters tall, whose entire body was made of sharp blades, looked down at the ground and roared.
No matter what anyone says, his nickname is ‘Sword Devil’.
Although he himself was a master of the sword, the swordsmanship he derived from it was merely a secondary element.
Because the element that symbolized him was the sword itself.
And isn’t the sword a weapon that has been around since the beginning of human history and has accumulated fear over a long period of time?
The Sword Demon, who used it as a weapon and armor, was different from other idiots, and was a very capable person who belonged to the highest rank among demons.
“Hmm.”
However, even in the face of such overwhelming majesty, the middle-aged warrior still looked perplexed.
“If the Sword Demon looks like this… I guess the ‘weapon demon’ above him is no different. “It’s a shame.”
I just glance at the large figure who lightly clicks his tongue and exclaims his excitement.
[cheeky! I will turn you into powder so you can never come back to life!]
The sword demon, enraged by him, rushed forward violently and tore up the space.
‘I just let my guard down earlier! A sword will never be able to hurt this body!’
The swords that made up that body were all intertwined with unusual traditions.
It is never broken, ignores any solid defense, is guaranteed to die once stabbed, always brings victory, and can cut down even transcendental beings.
And all those abilities became his strength.
That was the proud power of the sword demon who had frustrated countless warriors for a long time.
As long as he was a swordsman, the situation would not be much different from that arrogant undead.
“Tsk, there are no animals. “I think it was better than just now.”
It should have been that way…
Sigh—
The body of the sword demon that was running wild stopped.
Without realizing it, his gaze slowly turned downward.
[uh?]
An unfamiliar slant across his upper body that did not exist in the first place.
Crispy—patter!
The cut blades fell one by one along the crack.
In the end, his upper body, unable to withstand the weight, collapsed to the floor.
Clink! Wajangchang—!
A match so futile that it was decided in a single blow.
But that wasn’t the only thing that mattered to him now.
[Wow! how! How can you kill me with a sword!]
The sword demon was cut by the sword.
He couldn’t help but fall into confusion in that unbelievable situation.
A blow that ignores one’s own authority?
Because it was something that, according to his common sense, could not possibly have happened.
“I don’t know why I have to explain something so basic.”
To this, the great warrior, the Heavenly Demon, who had once surpassed the supreme state and reached the realm of mythology, lightly touched the beloved sword in his hand – the Heavenly Demon Divine Sword, and answered angrily.
“This body is the sword, and the sword is this body. “It is meaningless to question whether or not the subject of a sword cut with the heart is actually made with a sword.”
It was just a simple application of body and sword unity and mind and sword.
I will never be able to understand that monster, who only considers the fundamental aspects of the sword, rather than a warrior who pursues the ultimate in martial arts through discipline.
[Quaaagh! no! This is ridiculous! I am like this…!]
That was all the Sword Demon’s last words were.
With the subsequent flash of light, the remains of countless swords soon fell apart.
The Heavenly Demon left behind him and slowly turned his wrist.
“Hmm, but it wasn’t really meaningless.”
Although the match itself was over quickly, the process was not actually easy.
No matter what, it was true that they were polar opposites, so I had to do my best to strike one blow to the point where it was close to my limit.
In the process, my memory was damaged and I was able to recover some of the state I had lost.
The level itself may still be lower than when I was alive, but with the help of all kinds of corrections, I won’t be that far behind in terms of power output.
When the subordinate undead who arrived so late were collecting the remains of the devil as a trophy.
“I guess you’re done. “I heard that the Sword Demon is quite a strong individual, and you are truly amazing.”
A woman slowly approached him and spoke to him.
A female warrior wearing armor that doesn’t let in a single light as if it were made from the abyss, and holding a pitch black shield and battle hammer.
The Heavenly Demon slowly nodded as she watched the black aura rising from her body slowly encroaching on the surroundings.
“It looks like it ended without any problems.”
One of his classmates was a former priest and scribe.
The undead following her also had a fierce battle, so traces of the fight remained everywhere.
“My opponent wasn’t a very strong demon. Thanks to this, I was able to instill the correct teachings. “Our Lord himself has come to this world, and yet you proudly boast such an blasphemous name as ‘the devil of unbelief’?”
She shrugged her shoulders and smiled brightly as she said, “For heresy, there is only death.”
He proudly wore a huge hammer drenched in an unidentifiable reddish liquid on his shoulder.
“Well, okay. “Anyway, is this roughly the end of this area?”
The Immortal Army’s surprise attack operation was still ongoing.
Like cancer cells spreading in the body, an army of death is scattered all over the world and persistently targets demons.
Of course, there were quite a few losses incurred in the process, but due to the nature of the undead race, it was not that big of a deal.
In any case, in this world full of resentful deaths, there were plenty of materials to supplement power.
“Yes. Then next time…”
The secretary who was answering his words stopped talking for a moment and looked blankly into space.
Cheonma had the same reaction.
Somewhere far away that cannot be observed with the naked eye.
I felt one of the two huge forces colliding roughly, engulfing the other and pressing it down.
And after a while.
“···I guess it’s over.”
“It’s over.”
A short word came out of both of their mouths at the same time.
“So now there’s only one thing left?”
“Yes. “You can actually see that as the main dish.”
“I’m looking forward to it. “I wish there were more useful people there.”
After lightly exchanging words, they turned and walked away.
In the direction of the moving magic circle that the undead wizards had just completed.
Ugh—
Such large-scale movement was a common sight not only for them, but for most of the undead in this world.
A huge flow that can suddenly shake even the already solid fate of the world.
Following the Great Demon of Sorrow, the Great Demon of Destruction and the immortal army that swept under his command.
They all turned their heads towards the last remaining Great Devil forces.
The strongest demon that reigns at the peak of Devore.
To a place ruled by infinite evil.
***
Hans, checking the condition of his body by rotating every bone in his body, slowly nodded.
‘Indeed, I understand why the Great Devil is called the pinnacle of this world.’
The grief I successfully hunted for the first time and the destruction I defeated for the second time.
Both were strong enemies with difficult powers.
The power of sorrow that neutralizes enemies within the area and nullifies all hostile attacks directed at it.
It was an excellent power for large armies, but it was also an ability specialized for self-protection.
As soon as I got close to the guy, any energy was lost and dissipated, so I was never able to launch a proper attack.
[There are no absolutes in this world.]
The same was true for the Great Demon of Destruction, who had the power to destroy everything in the area.
If it had been the undead under his command, they would have all melted away without even being able to approach them, but it was meaningless for him who had no intention of receiving help from his subordinates from the beginning anyway.
There is no way he, who is the ruler of death in name, can be defeated by those great devils, right?
‘Anyway, that’s a shame. I think it would have been of great help to me if the Great Demon of Death still remained.’
In the process of defeating the two great devils, he was able to achieve some of his original goals.
Just in case, there were traces of Beoncheonhoeju’s visit to this debore as expected.
‘A being who destroyed the walls of the world, opened the gates of hell, and hunted down the absolutes, including the Great Demon of Death. The only one who can do something like that is Buncheonhoeju.’
Unfortunately, I was not able to obtain all the information I wanted.
Since Grief and Destruction were promoted after the gates of hell were opened, there were many things they did not know about the circumstances before that.
[hehehehe, after all, it would be most certain to hit the Infinite Great Devil.]
There were only infinite beings left who were lucky enough to survive the Buncheonhoeju and maintain their position as great devils to this day.
Besides that, I heard that the massacre and horror that survived was lost to the executioner over a hundred years ago.
‘Is the destruction of the world triggered by the disappearance of the great devils of hell being eaten by them?’
In other words, the balance of the world was broken first in hell, not on earth.
With the weight of the scale tilted heavily, the barrier that separated the two worlds was breached, so it was only natural that the demons were pushed out to the ground and roamed around.
In fact, the basic design of the debore dimension itself was almost completely destroyed.
‘Once we get rid of all the demons that have come to earth, won’t a way out be opened somehow? The administrators of this world will take care of the rest.’
Before tidying up, the first priority was to clean up the filth that had flowed back.
Devore’s demons are beings born from the negative elements that make up the world.
Even if we destroy it all now, it will naturally reappear in hell after a long time, but by then the world’s walls will have been restored to some extent.
He could see that he had done enough just by buying himself that time.
‘Of course, for that to happen, we have to get rid of those things first.’
Hans looked straight ahead with blazing black eyes.
An enormous army filled the plains.
That force was not an immortal army under his command.
[Indeed, it is infinite…]
A legion of hell summoned by the devil.
It’s not just a matter of making up numbers.
Because there were a lot of high-ranking devils who I thought were quite picky.
‘There are a lot of guys that look the same. Even those who are already dead and gone. I can’t believe it’s an ability that can even copy demons that have already died.’
Maybe that’s not all there is to it.
Isn’t the concept of ‘infinite’ a word that can be used in any way, with endless possibilities?
‘Well, it doesn’t matter.’
But Hans didn’t care one bit.
That’s right too.
“Kyaaagh—!”
[For the King of Death! Slaughter everything that stands in your way!]
“Grrr!”
[Woowoo——!]
He is the pinnacle of necromancer who specializes in this kind of large-scale rotation more than anyone else.
Because he was an immortal king.
