Descent of the Demon God - Chapter 205
Descent of the Demon God 205: Larisha (2)
In the hidden underground complex in the Devil King’s Castle:
Duke Edhuy was looking at a glass tube. When he touched the tube with his hand, the light on an arrow sign shone and a voice rang out…
[Decreasing the concentration of the regeneration interruption liquid.]
When the voice ended, the liquid in the tube gradually faded.
Bubble!
As the liquid went down, a change occurred in the tube.
Originally, the person in the tube had no body parts except for his chest and head, but he suddenly took on the shape of a human.
His body was forming as muscles grew and tightened; it seemed that regeneration was occurring.
‘I lowered the concentration by just 5% and the rate of recovery is this quick.’
Duke Edhuy’s face darkened. Although he had already made up his mind, the regeneration speed terrified him nonetheless.
‘Although nearly two thousand years have passed, he still looks like a monster.’
It wouldn’t be weird if normal clan members had turned to ash in that time. He thought if he were to stop Chun Yeowun as soon as possible, the only hope for him was the being inside the glass tube.
“Ugh!”
The being in the glass, which had wires in it, shook.
‘Too quick.’
Once the basic muscles took shape, the body began to move. It was only a matter of time until this being come to his senses.
‘No, I need to finish this.’
Duke Edhuy, who was about to proceed, suddenly changed his mind and hastily touched the tube.
[Normalizing the concentration of regenerative interruption liquid.]
Woong!
With a resonating sound, the upper entrance of the glass tube split in half and opened. Duke Edhuy slowly moved up to look down at the existence in the glass tube, which was fixed with wires around to restrict motion
Shh!
Duke Edhuy touched the armor on the man’s lower body.
Chachachacha!
The lower body armor disassembled and transformed into 12 daggers that floated in the air as if they were on defense.
Shhh!
Among the daggers, the one with the most splendid form had the shape of a crown and was on Duke Edhuy’s head.
“Phew.”
Duke Edhuy stretched out his hand towards the inside of the tube and the rest of the daggers entered it.
Thud!
The daggers which went in seemed like they were swimming and soon began to pierce each part in the tube.
Puck!
They pierced the back of the man’s head, middle of his spine, his shoulders, both of his elbows, and his knees and ankles.
The handles seemed stuck, as if all 11 daggers were restraining him.
‘Done.’
Duke Edhuy sighed in relief; he was worried about whether the daggers would work.
Tremble!
Even though the daggers were used to restrain the man’s movement, the glass tube shook. Even with just half of his muscles formed, the strength wasn’t even close to the man’s actual strength but he was still strong.
“Are you rebelling?”
Duke Edhuy put his hand on the crown on his head as a white light flowed from the daggers on the body of the being. Suddenly, the creature stopped moving.
‘Done!’
Duke Edhuy was joyous. Approaching the being carefully, he smiled that he had managed to control it as he mumbled.
“Does it hurt, Demon King?”
Shocking words came from his mouth. The identity of the being inside the weird liquid with just half of its face was none other than the Demon King who hadn’t appeared in public for 2 thousand years.
Chak!
Duke Edhuy came down from the tube and looked at the demon King who was restrained by the daggers and said,
“You will finally be able to move according to the Duke who served you. Hahah!”
The lower body armor that had transformed into 12 daggers was known as Arisha’s dagger, and its ability was Control.
It perfectly restrained the opponent and allowed the user to control them.
“Hahahaha! Demon King! To be able to move the Demon King at will.”
Duke Edhuy couldn’t hide his joy at it. As long as he was able to control the strongest demon in the clan, everyone else would be useless…
With the Demon King at his command, everything was possible. If the Demon King appeared publicly, not just Grand Duke Kaliaf but all the demons would no longer object to his command; it was the moment he dreamed of the most when thinking of a new future.
[The regeneration of the constraint is rapidly improving.]
The expression of Duke Edhuy, who was delighted, soon went stiff. Something expected was happening right in front of him.
The Demon King’s body, which was once again filled in liquid, suddenly started to regenerate.
Tatak!
Duke Edhuy touched something on the tube and tried to increase the regeneration interruption, but the speed didn’t stop.
‘J-just what the hell…’
This was the moment when he stopped understanding what was happening. The dagger in the arm of the Demon King, who had been fixed with wires, began to move.
Duke Edhuy concentrated his energy onto the crown.
‘Stop! Stop!’
A strong white light shone from the dagger but the Demon King’s arm continued to twitch.
Break!
The wire holding the arm broke and:
Tear!
Through the glass tube, the arm of the Demon King grabbed the neck of Duke Edhuy, who was standing in front of him.
Grab!
“Kuak!”
Duke Edhuy was the strongest of the aides, but the Demon King’s hand moved so fast that even he couldn’t react.
“D-Damn it!”
Duke Edhuy raised his demonic power and tried to cut off the Demon King’s arm, but a scream then erupted from the Duke.
“Kuaaaak!”
Duke Edhuy screamed, feeling his face shrink.
No, it wasn’t just his face. His entire body began to turn thin as if the moisture in the body was being drained out and his body kept turning smaller.
Psssh!
“Ack…”
At some point, Duke Edhuy wasn’t able to speak any longer. All that was left was the pieces of armor that he had been wearing, but they too scattered into ashes once his core was shattered.
Crack!
The wires that covered the Demon King’s face and chest were cut revealing silver blue hair and a cold face.
The Demon King ripped off the wires on the rest of his body and broke out of the glass. However, the eyes of the Demon King were strange, as if filled with anger.
Tremble!
His body then emitted a tremendous amount of demonic power.
Pang!
The unimaginable power was strong enough to crush everything around him as it continued to grow.
Crack! Thud! Break!
The Demon King’s castle collapsed in an instant due to the aftermath of his powers. The demons guarding the castle were startled and ran out.
“W-what’s happening?”
“What is this?”
The huge castle had collapsed in an instant. No, to be more precise, it had suddenly crumbled to the ground without a reason.
“L-Look over there!”
The demons who managed to survive this looked at the center, where a huge crater had formed.
‘!!!’
The demons discovered the existence in the middle of the crater and were all shocked.
“H… he’s!”
“His Majesty!”
The existence was the Demon King who had disappeared for so long. However, their surprise from seeing him didn’t last very long.
This was because they felt the huge, encroaching demonic power rising from him and, out of anger, the Demon King screamed,
“LARISHAAAAA!”
He looked like the darkness that burned like a flame. All the demons there were shocked at Chun Yeowun’s appearance.
The motion of raising his hand to transform was unmistakable.
‘A h-human Awakened?’
‘Is he from our clan?’
It was natural that they were confused, but this wasn’t the reason the Night King was surprised.
His surprise came from Chun Yeowun’s Awakened appearance.
“Larisha!”
Chun Yeowun was certain about his guesses once he heard the Night King’s exclamation.
‘I guess he knew.’
He showed his Awakened form and doubted that the Night King knew of Larisha until Arisha’s old name that Kaliaf had spoken of came out.
Night King who called him, hurriedly ran in front and knelt down while bowing his head.
“Larisha!”
He was sobbing with a voice filled with an emotion that couldn’t be understood.The Night King continued to speak,
“I, Joseph, always believed that Larisha would be fine!”
“Joseph?!”
Hearing the name, the Grand Duke Kaliaf was surprised. There was no way he couldn’t know this name.
“Someone you know, Your Highness?”
Grand Duke Kaliaf nodded his head at Duke Bevman’s question.
“I know him.”
‘Arisha’s closest confidant.’
He was one of the two dukes who had supported the former Demon King, Arisha. He knew that when Arisha disappeared, he had disappeared too, but didn’t think that he would be in Bamut.
‘Why is he in here?’
He was curious about it.
Shh!
Chun Yeowun covered his face with his palm.
Turning back to normal, Chun Yeowun looked at the Night King who was still full of emotion.
‘Hm.’
Chun Yeowun looked down and smiled.
“Do you know me?”
‘!?’
At those words, Grand Duke Kaliaf turned pale.
He thought that Chun Yeowun was going to say that he wasn’t Larisha, but that didn’t happen. Instead, the Night King raised his face in shock.
“L-Larisha! Do you not know me?”
“I don’t remember.”
“D-don’t remember?”
The Night King was visibly confused at the answer, and looked at Chun Yeowun with a blank expression. After a moment, he seemed fine.
“Ah, now I know why Larisha didn’t return.”
The Night King was convinced that Chun Yeowun was Larisha but had just lost his memory.
Out of pure luck, he had entirely misunderstood the situation. At that, Grand Duke Kaliaf bit his lip.
‘Ha!’
He didn’t think that Chun Yeowun would deceive the Night King—no, Duke Joseph—this way. He thought that Chun Yeowun would try to suppress the former Duke by force, but this was better.
Whisper!
Due to the rapidly changing situation, the demons around noticed something was off, prompting Duke Joseph to tell the demons,
“What are you doing! Larisha—no, Arisha—has come! Bow!”
“Arisha?”
“He is Arisha?”
At his shout, the demons were shocked. Arisha was a legend in their clan.
‘Is this true?’
The demons hesitated despite Duke Joseph’s orders, but it didn’t last long.
The demons who noticed the difference in power bowed to Chun Yeowun. Regardless of his being Arisha or not, their leader bowed so they too had to bow.
‘Damn it!’
There was someone looking at the situation with displeased eyes.
That was the demon who was holding the head of Marquis Irene, who said with a sneer…
“Forget about your other arm.”
Flustered, the demon unclasped the hand on her head and said,
“I-I didn’t say that yet!”
He was an unbelievable coward.
Inside the hut in Bamut. Chun Yeowun was sitting in a chair as Duke Joseph was kneeling.
Curiously, Duke Joseph asked,
“You really don’t remember anything, Your Majesty?”
At that, Chun Yeowun nodded his head without changing his expression. Duke Joseph, who believed that, grunted his teeth.
“It all happened because of that bastard Taura who coveted the throne! If I had noticed his ambition a little sooner, Your Majesty wouldn’t have gone to the trivial planet known as Earth.”
“Taura?”
“Earth?”
Chun Yeowun and Kaliaf had a questioning look on their faces, and both had their own doubts.
The reason Kaliaf was interested in Taura was because that was the name of the current Demon King.
