Chapter 62. Demon King Puratremos.

As the fire blazing near the city gates died down, the army entered the city. What they witnessed was the city already in a state of chaos.

The commander-in-chief, Princess Ganesha, ordered the soldiers to seize the city walls. And she told some of the hero teams to head to the inner castle.

Not long after giving the orders, a violent tremor, like an earthquake, engulfed the city. Everyone lowered their stance and waited for the tremor to stop. Soon after, something soared into the sky with a tremendous roar. …And the blue sky gradually disappeared.

ㅡㅡ!!

It was an enormous amount of magical energy. Ganesha instinctively sensed the Demon King had appeared. …It seemed the decisive battle with the Demon King’s army would follow immediately, as she had feared.

The city was soon entirely swallowed by an evil barrier. Monsters popped out randomly from all over the city and began attacking everything in sight indiscriminately.

“Castus, Oroㅡ! Fight the Demon Kingㅡ!”

Ganesha ordered the S-class heroes to fight the Demon King. The hero teams who received the order moved towards the place where terrifying magical energy was pouring out.

Ji-hyuk’s team and Laroche’s team also headed there, guessing that Ji-hyuk might be there.

Laroche swung her fist at the monster that was lunging at her with sharp teeth and claws. Her movements were truly as fast as the sound. And whatever her fist touched, without exception, burst and shattered. Laroche, who was only a C-class, was showing performance worthy of an A-class or higher.

Grendal, who was leading the team in Ji-hyuk’s place, also watched Laroche’s back. His arrows hit everything he aimed for with perfect accuracy. His destructive power was also great enough to easily pierce the skin of weaker monsters.

However, the number of monsters increased exponentially over time. …And an unidentified devil also appeared there.

The devil rushed towards Laroche, who was beating down the monsters. She narrowly avoided the sharp claws coming for her chest.

ㅡㅡ!!

If she had been a little late, she would have had another hole for a dick to enter in her breasts.

Laroche, without a moment to relax, dodged the claws moving towards her neck once again. The devil, dripping with foul-smelling pus and grinding its sharp teeth, had a terrifying appearance that would haunt her dreams. Although she had seen many monsters, it was the first time Laroche had seen a real devil, and the gruesome sight sent a chill down her spine. Regardless of strength, it was a creature she didn’t want to associate with.

Kkiyaaaaaaaaㅡㅡ!

The devil swung its long arms incessantly. Laroche dodged the opponent’s attacks and retaliated by swinging her fist. Her fist, as hard as a boulder, crushed the devil’s body in an instant. Of course, it quickly recovered, but the speed at which it was crushed by her fist was even faster.

They had no time to catch their breath. As soon as they defeated the devil, they advanced again. The monsters lunged at them as if this place was their home. Ji-hyuk’s team and Laroche’s team worked together organically to fight the enemies.

The fairy magician, Leni, tried hard to hold onto her confused mind. However, she felt her whole body gradually becoming paralyzed by the magic pouring in from all directions.

Fear, despair, dread…. Negative emotions were shattering the fragile fairy’s heart.

The experienced buffer, Sasha, cast a powerful buff on Leni, whose complexion was turning pale and whose behavior was becoming suspicious. It certainly had an effect. …But if the mind succumbed, no matter how powerful the buff, it was useless.

The orc Grendal quickly noticed the situation and approached Leni. He, who was always kind, grabbed the half-dazed fairy by the scruff of her neck and pulled her in fiercely.

“Leni, aren’t you going to get a grip?! Are you going to get us all killed?! Snap out of it, you little shitㅡ!”

Leni came to her senses with a start at the roar that exploded right in front of her, loud enough to make her ears ring. She gasped for breath and mumbled an apology. The orc released the twisted scruff of her neck and returned to his position.

…I understood that it couldn’t be helped because she was a magician more sensitive to magic. But there was no time to comfort her now. I had to make her snap out of it quickly by any means possible so that she wouldn’t drop out of the battle.

Fortunately, the members of Laroche’s team were experienced veterans who had been active in the guild for a long time, so such an unfortunate event did not occur. …It was truly a stroke of good luck.

At that moment, a rumbling sound like thunder suddenly came from the red sky, and a flash of light burst out. Terrifying magical energy spread in all directions like a shockwave.

ㅡㅡ!!

Laroche and Grendal exchanged glances. It was a tacit agreement to go there.

…Ji-hyuk-ssi, please…!

She earnestly prayed that Ji-hyuk, who had gone ahead, would be safe.

But a bad feeling lingered in her mind for a long time.

· · ·

The blood-colored metal dolls unfolded a fast and powerful combined attack. They fearlessly lunged at Ji-hyuk.

…These bastards.

But it wasn’t just them who were fighting without holding back. Ji-hyuk was also fighting aggressively in the same way.

The blunt, fingerless fists occasionally struck Ji-hyuk’s body powerfully. In fact, he could have avoided them if he wanted to, but Ji-hyuk prioritized attacking. If he thought that dodging would delay his attack by a beat, he simply endured the fist with his toughness.

Ji-hyuk’s Holy Sword sliced through the hard, metallic demons as if cutting rotten radishes. Certainly, his martial prowess had advanced another level than before. Rather than rising through enlightenment, he had achieved a state of surpassing the weak human body and attaining superior physical abilities.

However, Ji-hyuk did not blindly trust his physical abilities. He used them appropriately whenever necessary. Thus, he was able to perform attacks and defenses that were impossible for a weak human body.

…Damn, so that’s why those demon bastards keep talking about creations.

Certainly, possessing powerful physical abilities was a blessing. There was nothing bad about it, only good.

Ji-hyuk fought in a way that he couldn’t have imagined before. With his innate ability to control distance added to that, it was truly like adding wings to a tiger.

His combat method was no longer limited to swordsmanship. All the techniques he had learned and mastered so far were melted into it. If ignorant people saw it, they would call it a brawl, but it was something that disappeared when it reached the extreme.

The number of enemies facing the naked hero quickly dwindled. The monsters that occasionally lunged at him were not even worth a punch.

But he could easily deal with these small fries even before drinking the dragon’s blood. There was nothing to be particularly happy about for winning.

Anyway, Ji-hyuk quickly dealt with them and looked for the next target. At that moment, a flash of lightning burst with a rumble of thunder, and something struck Ji-hyuk.

ㅡㅡ!!

He flew away from the impact and crashed into a building wall. As one side of the wall was completely destroyed, the building collapsed with a roar. If it were a normal person, it would have become a pile of rubble, but Ji-hyuk got up unscathed from the ruins of the collapsed building. …However, unlike his unscathed exterior, his insides were twisted once, making him feel nauseous. He spat out the blood that was rising up and wiped the area around his mouth with the back of his hand.

Something was standing tall in the place where something had fallen earlier. Ji-hyuk recognized the identity of the thing as soon as he saw it.

Demon King Puratremosㅡ.

The sleek skin with a blood-colored sheen like the metal dolls earlier, the huge bulk, the restrained gestures, and the horn towering on his forehead like an erect dick were truly enough to give him an overwhelming sense of intimidation.

…If we were to create an android combat robot on Earth in the very distant future, wouldn’t it look just like that?

The face with huge silver-white eyeballs had no nose or mouth. But his words were clearly stuck in my ears.

– Humans still don’t know their place. They are lifeforms inferior to monsters.

“…What the fuck are you talking about, you retard?”

– They are low-grade and useless. It is right to raise them like livestock and use them as food.

Human domesticationㅡ. That was roughly Demon King Puratremos’s argument. Still, it was funny that it was the most human-friendly idea among the Demon Kings. At least it wasn’t indiscriminate slaughter like other psychopaths.

– You seem to be a little more useful, so I will give you one more chance. Will you serve me?

“Suck my dick.”

Ji-hyuk grabbed his dangling dick with his left hand and shook it up and down. Then, the silver-white eyes flashed, and the thing pounced on Ji-hyuk as it was.

It was really as fast as a ray of light. But Ji-hyuk, who had surpassed that of humans, reacted to that fleeting moment.

Shiiiiibalㅡ!

The thing’s attack was simple and ignorant. But the fast and powerful thing was very threatening. The Demon King punched, kicked, and even detonated magic bullets at the same time.

Ji-hyuk, who had defended against the tremendous attack in a brief moment, found it difficult to come to his senses. …As expected, the Demon King was the Demon King. He was on a different level than simple demons.

At that moment, I felt something tremendous gathering, and suddenly there was a rumbling thunder in the sky.

The Demon King’s fingers, which had soared into the sky, drew a straight line on the ground. And soon, the huge pillar of magical energy that fell like lightning struck Ji-hyuk’s body as it was.

Kwaaaaaaaaangㅡㅡㅡㅡ!!!!

A huge pit was created in the place where the magic pillar fell. The buildings around it were shattered to the point where they could not even be recognized.

…However, even in that tremendous attack, Ji-hyuk did not fall. The skin and muscles were peeled off to the point where the bones were exposed, but the wounds healed quickly.

You fucking son of a bitch…!

The Demon King dropped the magic pillar again. It struck Ji-hyuk’s torso, who was trembling with one knee on the ground. …But this time too, he did not fall.

Only then did a different color flash in the Demon King’s silver-white eyes. No matter how powerful a human was, to withstand this attack twice and still be fine…. Even a powerful demon could not do that.

The Demon King was curious about Ji-hyuk’s identity. He looked like a human on the outside, but it seemed that there was something else inside.

At that time, the S-class hero teams joined the battlefield. It was the Ghost Archer, Oro, and the Dreamer, Castus. And the meat shield healer who had just come up from the basement also arrived.

There were as many as four S-class heroes in one place. But the Demon King was not nervous at all.

– They would be perfect to use as breeding seeds.

“What is that bastard talking about?”

The Ghost Archer pulled the bowstring with all his might and released it. The Demon King moved his head slightly and dodged it lightly.

The Demon King stomped his foot. The surroundings were instantly enveloped in thick magical energy. A powerful curse struck their bodies.

– Even if there are many bugs, they are still just bugs.

Demon King Puratremos spread his arms. Blood-colored metal dolls fell to the ground one by one from the sky.

In the meantime, Ji-hyuk also healed all his wounds and got up. And he looked at the Demon King and cracked his neck.

…He felt like he would feel better if he pierced a dick hole in that bastard’s head with a sword.
