Forest of Screams

Mona shouted.

“Now, I’ll proceed with the Great Sealing Magic! Holy Mother Ariel, I ask for your help!”

Ariel replied.

“Okay!”

Ariel stuck the Trident of Original Sin into the center of the magic circle in front of the army.

Mona cast the Great Sealing Magic.

The power contained in the Trident of Original Sin flowed into the magic circle, causing it to glow red.

Afterward, huge rings emerged from the magic circle and flew towards Behemoth.

The rings passed through the creature, wrapping around Behemoth’s neck, torso, and legs.

The rings tightened around Behemoth.

Mona shouted.

“The Great Sealing Magic was successful!”

Ctilla shrank back down to her girl form.

There were scratches all over Ctilla’s body.

Behemoth twisted its body, trying to escape the rings, but they didn’t budge.

“Ppuuuuu! Ppuuuuu! Ppuuuuu!”

Poison Slime Adeben led the Slime army out.

“Now, our Slimes will enter that monster’s insides and turn it into mush.”

Kanpasha looked at Hanifa and shouted.

“Hanifa-nim! Please make a path for the Slimes to go through the monster’s anus!”

The Slimes were debating whether to enter the monster’s mouth or anus to get inside.

They heard that Behemoth had thousands of sharp teeth in its mouth, so they ultimately chose the dirty anus.

Hanifa took hundreds of Giant Ent shamans to the back of Behemoth.

Hanifa commanded.

“Create a giant mountain leading to Behemoth’s anus!”

The Giant Ent shamans held stones engraved with patterns and chanted spells, causing cones to rise from the ground.

The cones continued to grow, reaching Behemoth’s anus and piercing the hole.

Behemoth’s eyes widened in shock, and it screamed.

“Ppuuuuu! Ppuuuuu!”

Since Behemoth’s body was fixed in place, it couldn’t avoid the cone piercing its anus.

Adeben shouted to the Slime army.

“Now it’s our turn! Let’s show the power of the Slimes!”

The Slimes roared.

“Uwaaaaaa!”

The Slime army climbed the mountain all at once and advanced towards Behemoth’s anus.

Harpies flew around the mountain, catching Slimes that fell or slipped.

Adeben was the first to enter Behemoth’s anus.

Sswooook

Behemoth’s anal skin might be tough, but the inside was soft.

Afterward, the Slime army poured into Behemoth’s anus.

Sswooook sswooook sswooook

Behemoth gritted its teeth and endured the pain of its anus being torn.

“Grrrrrrr!”

The inside of Behemoth’s anus was tattered and bleeding profusely, but Slimes continued to enter endlessly.

Thousands of Slimes emitted digestive fluids from their bodies, breaking through Behemoth’s intestinal wall and entering the interior.

They gnawed at Behemoth’s insides like parasites eating meat, scattering in all directions.

Behemoth spat out saliva and screamed in agony.

“Ppuuuuuu! Ppuuuuu! Ueoeeoooo!”

Adeben broke through the intestinal wall and headed for the spine.

“We need to attack the nervous system.”

Since Adeben was a Poison Slime, the cells turned black and died from the poison wherever he passed.

Adeben arrived at Behemoth’s massive spinal joint.

Adeben stuck tightly to the spinal joint and spewed poison, melting the joint.

Adeben drilled a hole in the joint and reached the spinal cord, the nerve bundle inside the spine.

Adeben spewed a large amount of poison into the spinal cord.

Pshushushushu

When the middle of the spinal cord was destroyed, Behemoth lost control of its hind legs.

Behemoth’s tail and hind legs drooped down, hanging on the Great Sealing Magic rings.

Behemoth’s eyes gleamed with terror.

“Ppuuuuu! Ppuuuuu!”

Adeben destroyed the spinal cord and went up to Behemoth’s head.

After quite a long time, Adeben arrived at the part where the spinal cord and brain were connected.

Behemoth had lost control of most of its body, and the area below its head was like a vegetable.

Behemoth’s sensory nerves and brain were disconnected, so it couldn’t even feel the pain of the Slimes eating its body.

Adeben ate away at Behemoth’s brainstem and wandered around, spewing poison.

Behemoth shed tears, snot, and saliva before dying.

Behemoth hung limply on the Great Sealing Magic rings.

Kanpasha confirmed from the outside that Behemoth had died.

“Behemoth is dead! Inform the Slimes inside!”

The vibrating Slimes next to him vibrated buuung, shooting sound towards Behemoth.

“Behemoth is dead! Behemoth is dead!”

The Slimes poured out of Behemoth’s anus.

Adeben came out last.

When all the Slimes had come out, Kanpasha declared the end of the battle.

“We have won!”

All the soldiers cheered.

“Uwaaaaaa!!!”

“Kyle Holy Kingdom forever!!!”

Behemoth was a powerful enemy, but the various dark races of the Kyle Holy Kingdom combined to overcome the crisis.

Mona asked Kanpasha.

“Shall we release the Great Sealing Magic now?”

Kanpasha replied.

“Please do so.”

Ariel took the Trident of Original Sin, and the Great Sealing Magic was cut off, causing Behemoth’s corpse to fall to the side.

Kuuuuuung

The Argilla City army left only the soldiers guarding Behemoth’s corpse and returned to their original positions.

Behemoth had devastated Haunmont City and the surrounding villages north of the Loire River.

The number of civilian deaths and the amount of damage was so enormous that it couldn’t even be tallied.

Kanpasha informed the entire Kyle Holy Kingdom and its allies of the Hamel Empire’s cruel actions.

Anger towards humans was boiling over in the entire dark race alliance, including the Kyle Holy Kingdom, Bohark Forest, and the Demon Lord Army.

People were protesting that they should take revenge on humans.

Kanpasha asked the people to be patient because the dark race alliance was currently attacking the west of the Hamel Empire.

Kanpasha launched a fundraising and volunteer campaign to support those who were harmed by the Behemoth incident and to restore the destroyed cities and villages.

Fundraising continued from all directions, and volunteers went to the destroyed areas.

—

Afterward, a delegation of hundreds of Demon Lord Army Undead came to Argilla City.

It was a group consisting of Balthazar, the progenitor vampire and grandfather of Demon Lord Silvan, Lich Juknok, the 16th lord of the Demon Lord Army, and high-ranking Undead.

Balthazar greeted Kanpasha.

“It’s been a while.”

Kanpasha greeted him politely.

“Welcome.”

Balthazar was respected by many dark races because he was the father-in-law of the God of Darkness.

Balthazar asked about Behemoth.

“I heard that the human bastards sent a big gift this time.”

“It’s a gift that’s too big and painful. We need to take revenge quickly.”

“Isn’t that why we came?”

“That’s right. We need to turn Behemoth into an Undead and send it to the Hamel Empire as a gift.”

“Hahaha. We brought the best Undead experts, so trust us.”

Juknok also said.

“We’ll turn Behemoth into an Undead that listens well.”

The Demon Lord Army delegation began the work of turning Behemoth’s corpse into an Undead.

—

Now, let’s return to the story of the Hero party in the Forest of Screams.

The Hero party went deep into the Forest of Screams.

As they went deeper, the level of the Undead increased, and Liches, Death Knights, Abominations, and High Specters appeared.

The Hero party defeated the Undead pouring in from all directions and arrived at the center of the Forest of Screams.

There was a lake in the center of the Forest of Screams.

In the center of the lake was a huge red oval portal, and dark energy was pouring out from within.

Park Gyeong-cheol said.

“The cause of the Undead must be inside that portal. Let’s go in.”

I was mentally retracing old memories.

‘When I was playing with space, there were multiple portals, but they must have merged into one. The subspace is connected in a very complex way, so each one will be transferred to a random room. Sigh…’

I whispered to Nisa.

“When you enter that portal, be sure to grab my sleeve.”

Nisa nodded.

I also explained the portal to Serena through the tentacle communication network and told her to stick to Park Gyeong-cheol if she wanted to live.

The Hero party approached the lake.

As if waiting for them, human figures rose from the lake.

Bloated faces and bodies swollen with water, hands and feet with webbed fingers and toes, and bellies swollen as if they were about to burst.

Exploding Drowners.

They were heinous Undead that exploded when they got close to humans, releasing internal parasites and corpse poison.

When parasites entered a human body, the host gradually went insane and became an Undead.

Park Gyeong-cheol shouted.

“We have to kill them before they get close! Attack!”

The Exploding Drowners screamed and rushed towards the Hero party.

“Kyaaaaaaa!”

“Kieeee!”

Park Gyeong-cheol swung his sword, and space aura flew in a straight line, passing through the Exploding Drowners.

Shashashasha

Afterward, the Exploding Drowners in front exploded in order, scattering black blood and flesh in all directions.

Bang bang bang bang

Aibos opened his mouth and shot a sky-blue dragon breath forward.

Jiiiiing

Because it was a Draconian form, the size and power were smaller than when he was a dragon, but it was enough against the Exploding Drowners.

Aibos turned his head left and right, and the dragon breath flew like a whirlwind, tearing apart the Exploding Drowners.

Bang bang bang bang

I raised the electric hammer to the sky, and lightning struck the hammer.

Flash!

I struck the lake with the hammer imbued with the power of lightning.

Jijijijijijik

Lightning spread through the lake, electrocuting all the Exploding Drowners in the lake.

“Kigyagyagya”

The Exploding Drowners exploded all at once.

Pueoooeeoong

Only the wreckage of the Exploding Drowners remained in the lake.

Serena frowned as she looked at the lake.

“Ugh. Do we have to go in there?”

Aibos held Glacier and stabbed the lake.

The lake froze, creating an icy path to the portal.

Aibos pulled out Glacier and said.

“It’s a service. Let’s walk.”

Serena jumped up and down, delighted.

“Aibos oppa! Thank you~”

The Hero party stood in front of the portal.

It was the first time for the Hero party to enter such a portal.

Park Gyeong-cheol took a deep breath and said.

“Let’s go in.”

Park Gyeong-cheol entered the portal with Serena clinging to his arm.

Andre and Aibos entered in order.

Only Gilluk, me, and Nisa were left.

Gilluk said.

“I’ll go in first.”

Gilluk turned his back to me and tried to enter the portal.

I realized that now was my chance.

I quietly instructed Nisa.

“Nisa. Attack.”

Nisa understood my words and sent powerful mental magic to Gilluk.

Gilluk had strong mental strength, so he endured the mental magic and staggered slightly.

But that stagger was my chance.

Hundreds of tentacles came out of my body, wrapping around Gilluk and constricting him.

Gilluk twisted his body and screamed.

“Uwaaaaaa! What is this!”

Thanks to the Ring of Power, my strength was even stronger, so even Gilluk’s Dwarf warrior strength couldn’t break free from the constricting tentacles.

Gilluk cursed.

“Uwaaa! You’re the evil one! You demon! How dare you deceive us!”

Nisa approached me and asked.

“Honey. Are you going to kill Gilluk?”

“Let’s try changing his brain first.”

I sent tentacles through Gilluk’s nose and touched his brain.

Gilluk groaned in terror.

“Ueoeeeo. Kkeueoeoeo”

I changed Gilluk’s brain structure.

Gilluk looked at me with admiring eyes.

“God of Darkness…”

Gilluk screamed as if his head hurt, then came back to his senses.

“Uwaaaaaaa! I won’t be fooled! You demon!”

I explained.

“Because Gilluk is the God of Diligence, his brain recovers to normal.”

Nisa asked.

“How do you know his brain is normal?”

“Through the memories of the soul. Usually, when the brain structure is changed, the soul changes to match it. Gilluk is a demigod, so his soul is very strong. Therefore, even if the brain structure is changed, the soul doesn’t change immediately. And the divinity of Diligence restores the body to the state of the soul.”

Nisa was disappointed.

“Hmm…. I liked him, though.”

I injected a powerful acidic poison into Gilluk’s brain.

Gilluk’s eyes were bloodshot with pain, and he twisted his body.

“Kkeueueueu! Kkeueueueu!”

The divinity of Diligence repeatedly restored Gilluk’s melting brain.

But it couldn’t cover all the special acidic poison of the God of Darkness that was being sprayed endlessly.

In the end, Gilluk’s head completely melted.

When I released the tentacles, Gilluk’s headless body collapsed onto the ice.

I took the divinity of Diligence from Gilluk’s body.

The white divinity of Diligence in my hand vibrated wildly, trying to escape.

When I injected the aura of darkness, it was dyed black and became a twisted divinity of Diligence.

I decided to put the twisted divinity of Diligence into my body and store it.

I was thinking of giving it to one of my wives later.

Nisa looked at me with sad eyes and asked.

“What are you going to do with Gilluk’s corpse?”

“I have to melt it completely.”

I picked up Gilluk’s weapon, the Hammer of Fire.

I poured a powerful acid on Gilluk’s body.

Gilluk’s body bubbled and soon melted away, including his equipment and body.

Perhaps when this ice clears, Gilluk will never be found again.

I was wondering how to use the Hammer of Fire when a brilliant idea came to me.

The dark races worshiped me, so a considerable amount of divinity had accumulated in my body.

If I gathered a little more, I could become a god from a demigod.

Just like Goddess Elia created god-level weapons like Poseidon’s Trident and Excalibur with divinity, I could also create a god-level weapon or give it a self with divinity.

I created a dark self with the power of destruction and seduction with divinity and pushed it inside the Hammer of Fire.

This self seduces people and makes them want to have the Hammer of Fire.

And it gives the owner of the Hammer of Fire a powerful destructive power and gradually taints the owner with darkness.

I instructed the corrupted Hammer of Fire.

“Go to the Dwarf Kingdom and destroy the Dwarves.”
