The phantom cavalry didnât engage in a full scale war with the enemy. It was an insurmountable wall of creatures so it was foolish to run at them from the front. They quickly hit and retreated, steadily buying some time.
Common demons and creatures couldnât survive the swords wielded by the phantom cavalry. If there was a strong enemy then I came out and minimized the damage.
âThe enemy is moving faster.â
Why?
It was simple.
The Hell Monarch had realized the existence of the phantom cavalry.
The soldiers he had created were now appearing as enemies, so he was angry.
âHe wonât come directly.â
It was a little disappointing.
If the Hell Monarch came out for the phantom cavalry then I would have a chance to strike. It would be difficult if he kept moving behind the three million troops.
It was best to just buy time.
âI was only able to win against Contegonom by using Corruption. Iâm not the same as I was at that time, but Rogujan is something that came from the deepest parts of the nothingness. There are many differences.â
It was on a completely different level. Thanks to Godâs Eyes, I could see that Rogujan was much stronger than Contegonom.
âA total of 721 stat pointsâŠâ
Indeed, a demon king slayer. Something far beyond normal creatures. An exceptional balrog who had managed to kill a demon king. At that time, it was able to absorb some strength from the demon king it killed.
I wasnât disturbed by the simple numerical comparison. There was a difference of over 100 points. If I went against him then I would be able to win with no difficulty. But then I would have to give up on buying time. The phantom cavalry would be surrounded by enemies and 100,000 troops would disappear.
I wouldnât be able to block such a large army for four days alone.
âThe Hell Monarch isnât my only enemy.â
The dark spirits might try some tricks. I was also worried about Death Bringer. It would be wise to reserve some troops to prepare for another confrontation.
Fortunately, Rogujan didnât seem to possess any authority. He was strong in terms of brute force.
âI need a way to get rid of Rogujan independently.â
I looked at Rogujan as I directed the phantom cavalry. Rogujan floated in the air and calmly watched the phantom cavalry.
âThe balrog are a warlike species.â
I heard that it was a characteristic of balrogs to be excited when a battle took place.
Was it because it thought there were no enemies? It might not be stimulated by the phantom cavalry.
The huge creature set me on edge. Something that big and powerful could smash the castle at once.
âI have no choice but to stimulate it.â
I nodded. I had no choice but to move.
In order to reserve some troops, I needed to fight.
It was time for me to come out.
âI will be back in 30 minutes. Try not to be surrounded as much as possible.â
I gave a command to the phantom cavalry.
30 minutes. I was sure that I could remove Rogujan in that time.
It wasnât difficult to deal with an enemy who came out alone. It was because True Words would work to a certain extend on transcendent beings. As long as the Hell Monarch didnât come out with the demons and creatures, I would be able to handle Rogujan.
If the ghost cavalry stayed safe then I would be able to continue buying time.
I flapped my wings and gazed at the balrog.
Wrath and the Emperorâs Sword were covered in a dark aura. Then I applied Lightning God and Prideâs flames. After my superior magic power was added, it was an extraordinary skill comparable to Arielâs proprietary Abyss Sword.
-As the result of repeated linkage, the skill âChaotic Blade (Legend)â has been learnt.
If something was repeated many times then a skill could be obtained. The odds were slim so it was unlikely to appear even after thousands of repetitions. Even if it came out, it was hard to expect a high rating.
Yet a legend rating had emerged.
âIt was thanks to my high intelligence.â
Intelligence played many different roles. It increased magic resistance, familiarity with skills, eliminated the drawbacks when using a skill and improved mental power. As such, it was possible to rapidly create a skill. It was the first time for me, but it wasnât a bad result.
Then the balrog headed towards me.
Huoong!
It flapped its large wings and instantly appeared before me.
I was strong. It noticed the great magic power contained in my swords.
The difference in our sizes was evident.
But fighting had nothing to do with size.
âIâll give you a chance. Go back to your original place.â
A demon king slayer. A historically famous creature. It should be fine for me to face him.
Huuung!
The balrog flapped its wings strongly.
Kwarurung!
Lightning struck me.
However, I had a high level of magic resistance.
AndâŠthe balrog was a magic-using species.
The worst mistake. This was why I bet on a quick victory.
âI received your greeting. Rogujan.â
Chaotic Blade grew longer. The balrog was a magical species so it naturally had high resistance. Its physical defense also exceeded imagination.
But it was doubtful if its body could withstand my attacks.
âNow it is your turn to receive my greetings.â
Chwack!
My swords penetrated through the lightning.
I split Rogujanâs body exactly in half.
Dozens of demons who were dukes rushed towards me.
âStop.â
I consciously used True Words. This skill gave my words power. Even the transcendent couldnât be completely free of this influence. There was only a difference in the duration time.
True Words was advantageous when dealing with a lot of opponents.
And the dukes stopped moving according to my words.
However, the duration was extremely short.
It only lasted a fraction of the time.
âOverlapping power.â
I had experienced this before. It was when I faced Camael. It overlapped with Camaelâs power and didnât have a great effect. This time was the same as well.
The demons and creatures were dominated by the Hell Monarch so they were protected by his power. In particular, the dukes received more protection.
I activated Godâs Eyes.
-There is a defense with a higher security rating than âGodâs Eyes (Demigod).â
But thanks to high magic power (168), 77% of the interpretation has been completed.
Guardianâs Power (God), Destructive Humanity (God), Absolute Domination (God), Death (God), Song of the Dead (Legend), Curse of Shadows (Legend), Curse of the Mountains (Legend)âŠ
There were four huge curses on them. That was why the power of my words hardly had any effect.
Besides, I needed to look at the curses hanging on them.
It seemed like the Hell Monarch already had the power of a god.
How muchâŠ
âI need to be vigilant of a god.â
The Hell Monarch was a human. He had guardians around him. As far as he was concerned, foreign invasion was impossible.
He wanted to become a god.
But the gods didnât allow him to become one.
The gods joined forces and pushed him into the nothingness.
He didnât think they would stand still and planned something, but failed.
Then the dark spirits pulled him out again.
âHe would have become even stronger.â
I was sure of it.
He was stronger than he was during his days as the Shadow Emperor.
The dark spirits would have helped.
No, I still didnât understand his power. No matter how godlike a human was, he needed to have his own power.
He was passionate about learning curse magic, but endless hours were needed to make it reach this point. He might just be close to a god in relation to curses.
Rather, he didnât learn curses that were below a legend rating.
The Guardianâs Power was definitely strange, so he must have guardians.
Maybe there were even more. Godâs Eyes had only interpreted 77% of the information.
âIs he really the Hell Monarch?â
I wondered.
I wanted to determine the truth.
âGet lost.â
Prideâs flames explosively wrapped around them.
As the demons hesitated, I instantly rushed through the air.
The army of the Hell Monarch was great. Millions of creatures were lined up for dozens of kilometres.
And at the very back.
I found a person slowly climbing up the back of a dragon like he was taking a leisurely stroll.
I knew who he was as soon as I found him.
The figure on the back of the dragon was the Hell Monarch.
My heart was jumping wildly.
However, my eyes werenât looking at the Hell Monarch.
I was looking at the aura around him.
It was a scary feeling. It felt like my whole body was stripped bare. I couldnât move, it was like my entire body was in the clutches of a leviathan.
I had experienced it once before.
Before I went to Earth, the man who made me an offer was emitting that type of magic power.
I only felt it very weakly at the time, but now I knew for certain.
âDeath BringerâŠ!â
Death Bringer was inside the Hell Monarch.
Thatâs right.
He was the Hell Monarch but wasnât.
Death Bringer was wearing the mask of the Hell Monarch.
Death Bringerâs eyes turned towards me.
A thin smile. He was laughing at my arrival.
No wonder why it was strange. The Hell Monarch had four powers at a god rating.
It was possible if he was Death Bringer. The devil. A god with the highest level of divinity. Among the gods, he was a powerful existence. Even if there were dozens of Gustartes, they wouldnât be able to beat Death Bringer.
âIt must be possession.â
It was impossible for an immortal to enter the Demon World to conquer it. It was the same even when it came to possession. His divinity was lowered. If someone let their guard down then they could be deprived of their qualifications.
Then was it possible because the Hell Monarch came back from the nothingness?
I didnât know the details. Maybe it was because he was already like a god himself, so his flesh was able to contain a god. But it wasnât clear.
My heart trembled.
And the aura around me increased.
It was due to Gustarte and Diablo!
They both had a serious resentment against Death Bringer.
The feelings of anger came back. However, I remained calm.

The odds werenât high if I attacked him from the front.
Besides, this place was filled with enemies. It was a place where it wouldnât be easy to escape once the fight started.
