Chapter 102: Chapter 102
Aaaaagh!
"Hey, are you guys crazy?"
Seeing the demons pouring down on him, the mad-blooded tyrant couldn't believe the situation.
The demon realm, which not only lost its monarch, but also left no nobles, was a truly destroyed world.
All of the demons that survived so far were just trashy ones.
Dying as a slave for the rest of their lives was nothing more than worthless trifles that should be considered an honor.
But those lowly and insignificant bastards now dared to rebel against him.
They were drooling and rushing to eat him.
The mad-blooded tyrant drew out blue flames in rage.
"To whom do these savage bastards dare to reveal their teeth to?"
Roar!
The flame of life always burned inside the apostle who served Itharim, the god of the distant outer universe.
Flame spread widely throughout the Colosseum and engulfed the demons attacking from all sides.
"Ouch...!"
The demons started burning to death helplessly like moths jumping into a lantern.
However, the demons, who were already mad enough to be frenzied, continued to attack the tyrant, using the corpses as a shield, regardless of who died in front of them.
"Just a bite!"
"Just one bite!"
"Even one bite can make me stronger!"
"Aaaaah!"
Demons.
That place was true hell.
"Ah, these crazy people are really..."
The mad-blooded tyrant was stunned.
'Were they really slaves who have been quietly controlled by me?'
As an apostle of Itharim, he had a mission to rule and conquer this world.
'But, what the heck is this?'
'Doesn't it seem like I've become the prey?!'
Humiliation mounted.
He couldn't accept the fact that the emotion he was feeling right now was 'fear'.
"Aagh! I will kill them all! Burn them all up and become my fuel!"
Aaaaaaagh!
A flame exploded with the force of immortalizing the whole world.
Demons poured endlessly over it and attacked the blue flames.
The corpses of demons became ashes and scattered in all directions.
In the center of this, the tyrant shouted.
"Hahaha! I'm getting stronger again! Instead of losing precious slaves, my flame will burn forever!"
His gaze moved to find Suho, who had created that situation.
Even though he suffered some losses, the demon realm wasn't the only one there anyway.
As long as his strength was replenished, all he needed to do was find and rule the fragments of another demon realm floating in the dimensional rift!
However, there was one fact he overlooked.
While he slays countless demons to replenish his depleted power.
The souls of the dead demons are being sucked somewhere.
"W-Wait a minute...!"
The mad-blooded tyrant's eyes widened wide as he witnessed the scene from afar.
"... Ha. This is it."
Suho held up Vulcan's Horn with a smile of utmost satisfaction.
[Vulcan's horn devours the demon's soul.]
[Vulcan's horn devours the demon's soul.]
[Vulcan's horn devours the demon's soul.]
[Vulcan's horn devours the demon's soul...]
...
Vulcan's Horn was devouring the souls of the demons killed by the mad tyrant.
"Yes, eat as much as you like. Until you burst full."
Swook!
[Devoured demon soul: 83->97->113->...]
It seems like Suho hit some kind of jackpot.
The count of devoured souls was constantly rising.
Then eventually...
Ring!
[Vulcan's Horn feels full.]
Vulcan's stomach, which seemed to know no end, eventually became full.
[Item: Vulcan's Horn]
Difficulty to obtain: ??
Type: Sword
Attack +40
A sword crafted from the horns of the greedy demon Vulcan.
Vulcan's powers are imbued, dealing more damage.
-Effect 'Destruction Desire': Increases physical damage by [300%].
-Effect 'Demon Devourer': The power of Vulcan becomes stronger as it devours the demon's soul.
[Devoured Demon's Soul: Saturated]
Succeeded.
Physical damage increased by 300%.
In the end, Suho made Vulcan's Horn grow to its maximum.
[Oh my god. Did you just use it like that?]
Esil couldn't help but admire it.
While the tyrant recharged his weakened power, Suho used it intact to maximize his attack power.
However, this was not the end of Suho's aim.
"Now, are you satisfied?"
Suho smiled and raised Vulcan's Horn.
"Then, give your end of the deal to me."
As if to answer that question...
Ring!
A message has arrived.
[You have completed 'Urgent Quest: Vulcan's Greed'.]
[The completion reward has arrived.]
[Do you want to check the reward?]
( Y / N )
Suho already knew what the reward was.
He smiled and held out his hand.
The second horn of Vulcan appeared.
[Item: Vulcan's Horn-2]
Difficulty to obtain: ??
Type: Sword
Attack +40
A sword crafted from the horns of the greedy demon Vulcan.
Vulcan's powers are imbued, dealing more damage.
-Effect 'Destruction Desire': Increases physical damage by [300%].
Was it because Vulcan was the only one who felt full?
Surprisingly, the second horn was amplified at 300% as well.
After confirming, Suho smiled as he held up the two horns in both hands instead of Rakan's Sword.
"At this rate, I don't need Rakan's fangs anymore, I guess? Should I sell it to add to the guild fund?"
Wouldn't it be better to use two swords that look the same as twin swords?
However, there was someone who was frightened by those words...
[The King of Beasts, Fang Monarch, wakes up in bewilderment.]
[The King of Beasts, Fang Monarch, has a better idea and requests a conversation.]
[The King of Beasts, Fang Monarch, stomps his feet, telling you not to pretend you didn't hear.]
Suho paid no attention to Rakan's message and was rushing straight to the tyrant at great speed.
Swish-!
"...!"
Suho swung his sword without hesitation.
"Thanks. Because of you, my supposed hard work has been reduced."
[Use 'Skill: Strong Body Manifestation'.]
[Use 'Skill: Blade Storm'...]
Slash!
"Ahhh...!"
Colossal damage, on a different level from before, exploded on the mad-blooded tyrant's body.
Even the blue flames blazing from his body were cut into hundreds and thousands of pieces by the twin swords of Suho.
"No, no way... Don't tell me..."
The flames that had been burning ominously the whole time died down, and a collapsed voice flowed from his mouth.
"My fear Itharim..."
Thud.
[You have killed the mad-blooded tyrant.]
[Your level has increased!]
[Your level has increased!]
Demons who were still alive after the death of the tyrant were shocked.
They were so shocked that even their desire to devour also died down.
"... Is he dead?"
"Tyrant King?"
"Is he really going to die like this?"
They couldn't believe it.
Absolute shock and horror.
Meanwhile, the tyrannical king who had enslaved them had disappeared before their eyes.
Not even a corpse was left behind.
Even the guards, who had practically served under the tyrant, were all burned to death.
'What's going to happen to us?'
"..."
They were so used to their slavery that they couldn't even bring themselves to say a word.
"Esil."
In that desolate atmosphere, Suho called Esil.
"It's your turn now."
[...]
In Suho's mind, there was only one way to clean up that messy situation with the loss of a ruler.
'I can't keep pretending to be Vulcan's son.'
The demon realm that he had observed so far has been a thoroughly hierarchical society.
Strong self-esteem.
A world where stronger demons prey on weaker demons and rule.
However, the moment the demon lords and demon nobles who reigned in that land all disappeared, the entire system was disrupted.
Even the apostle of Itharim appeared and ruled the land and enslaved its inhabitants.
It was all because there was no 'pure blood' to rule them.
"Come out. From now on, you have to rule this place."
Otherwise, the apostle of Itharim might suddenly appear and devour that place again.
[Okay.]
Esil finally appeared from Vulcan's Horn.
"...!"
Upon the sudden appearance of Esil, all eyes of the demons were focused on her.
The moment they saw Esil, they instinctively realized it.
All the misconceptions about Suho being a demon noble and Vulcan's hidden son were blown away in an instant.
The energy they felt from Esil was pure blood!
The presence of the demon nobles was clearly felt.
"N-Noble..."
"A real noble..."
If it weren't for the current situation, they probably wouldn't have reacted like that.
It was because they were demons who attacked to eat even that frightening mad-blooded tyrant.
But now it was different.
"Kneel."
At the one word of command that came out of Esil's mouth, they had no choice but to kneel in front of her and bow down.
"I am Esil, the eldest daughter of Radiru. I am the only demon noble left in this world."
Esil slowly looked back at their bowed heads with arrogant eyes.
A long time ago, when the demon realm was prosperous, the real use of the Colosseum was for that very moment.
There would be duels between demon nobles competing for honor.
After the duel and the ranks were decided, the winner would always proclaim the winner's right.
According to the long-standing tradition, Esil proudly showed her presence to the demons there.
"I declare. From now on, this land has become the territory of the Radiru Clan."
Swoosh-!
At that moment, a magnificent shout began to erupt from everyone's mouths.
It was an echo of a different level from the malicious shouts of watching an execution ceremony in the Colosseum.
"... And."
However, Esil's proclamation was not over yet.
"The last remaining Demon Noble, Esil Radiru commands you."
Suddenly, Esil's eyes glanced at Suho, who was next to her.
"...?"
"Our demonic realm will be in an all-out war against the Outer Gods, Itharim. In order not to be dominated by a md-blooded tyrant again..."
Esil was virtually the only one qualified to become a demon monarch.
Since they were demons who knew that fact, they raged their whole body with demon energy at Esil's words.
"We must fight."
