Chapter 114
Chapter 114.
'The Flame Angel's wing, the effect is amazing.'
Should I have taken more feathers instead of the sword?
Although it's a one-time use item, it's that powerful of a feather.
Moreover,
'I didn't know it could absorb that fog too.'
The red fog that acts as a boundary between the B2 floor and below.
Even the 'Smiling Face Demon' who showed overwhelming power couldn't break through that boundary.
The Flame Angel's wing absorbed part of it without any trouble, opening an escape route for Lee Ganghan.
'The Divine Maiden definitely said that tremendous demonic energy was condensed even in the red fog area.'
To absorb this so effortlessly.
Is the authority possessed by the Flame Angel's wing that great?
Whiing, Whiing.
Moving his wings, he who was floating in the air.
'Let's go inside the tower for now.'
Rather than staying outside anymore.
He decided to return inside the First Tower.
The outer wall that had finished regenerating and was denying entry.
However,
Swooong!
When Lee Ganghan flapped his wings and charged forward.
Kwa-kwa-kwang!
The tower's wall was completely smashed.
'Easy.'
When Lee Ganghan entered inside.
[Huh? Heavenly Demon Lord...? Huh? Suddenly what's with the wings?!]
The Divine Maiden's voice was heard, flustered at seeing the wings.
Her voice was more welcome than ever.
"A lot happened down there."
[Really? What happened?]
"I met a giant white mask."
[...A white mask?]
"Yeah. They also called it the Smiling Face Demon."
[What's that?]
I thought there would be something under the First Tower.
I didn't know there would be such a monster.
'Is it stronger than the Orc Transcendent Gershu, at that level?'
Both were immensely strong warriors at Lee Ganghan's current level.
It wasn't easy to gauge who was stronger, but.
Lee Ganghan instinctively thought the 'Smiling Face Demon' was the stronger one.
Then.
Pazik, Pazik...
Sparks flew in the different race chat window again.
-◑_◧ : To reject my generous offer. Too much, friend.
The white mask ID appeared, changed to a non-smiling face unlike before.
"You still haven't left?"
Saying I'll visit your neighborhood again.
The Smiling Face Demon who made all the different races shut up.
-◑_◧ : Instead, next time we meet, I'll let you experience torture course 108, so look forward to it, okay?
Every time he posted a chat.
Pazik, Pazik...
The sparks flying in the chat window became more severe.
Then.
-◑_◧ : Then bye! See you again next time!
When he gave his final farewell.
Flash...!
Light flickered in the chat window, then it returned to normal.
-Did he leave?
-He left, right?
-Wow, I didn't know that guy would pop out here
-I was really startled
Then.
The different race viewers started posting chats they had been holding back.
"What exactly is that monster's identity?"
To Lee Ganghan's question.
-You don't know that guy? He's...
-Don't say it, do you want to see ^o^ <- this again?
-Ah, that's right
-Ah, you don't know anything. If you had let him speak, a demon would have descended to that world
-Exactly, tsk. Missing the chance to get 1st place ranking
-But he's not in the chat window now, right?
-Then would you like to speak... ^o^
-Stop using that, it's really annoying
Having been quite traumatized by the Smiling Face Demon.
Even though he had already disappeared from the chat window, the different race viewers were scared and wouldn't tell him.
'These guys are no help.'
Lee Ganghan thought so while looking at the thoroughly intimidated different race viewers, but.
-We should cancel the occupation reservation for this humanity
-Our side should also make a suggestion, right?
-Even if we take some losses, we shouldn't get involved with anything related to the Smiling Face Demon
-Tsk. I thought it was a risk-free product...
Seeing the following chats, he blinked his eyes.
'They're canceling the occupation reservation?'
Humanity, which had 18 races simultaneously place occupation reservations.
Hearing this story, didn't the majority of Goblin merchants guarantee they wouldn't last long?
Even if Lee Ganghan defeated the Orcs.
There were still 17 towers with occupation reservations remaining.
The opponents are withdrawing on their own?
'Meeting the Smiling Face Demon, is this a blessing in disguise...?'
Of course, that's just what the chats say.
Whether the withdrawal actually proceeds remains to be seen.
First, it's questionable whether the viewers posting those chats have that kind of authority.
Even if they made suggestions, it's unknown how many of the 17 races would withdraw.
Still.
'I hope even one or two withdraw.'
Then humanity could breathe a sigh of relief.
But the Smiling Face Demon.
What kind of existence is it to show such a neurotic reaction?
'Is it really okay to keep attacking this?'
When Lee Ganghan felt quite uneasy.
[Heavenly Demon Lord, Heavenly Demon Lord! This wing is truly a sacred object with extreme demonic energy condensed to the limit! Wow... where did you get this wing?]
The Divine Maiden ghost circled around the wing several times, letting out exclamations.
"I got it from an angel, but it has a duration."
Definitely depending on the mana stat.
It said it could last from 10 minutes to 2 hours.
Lee Ganghan glanced to the side.
He looked at the Flame Angel's wing spreading long and burning.
A wing that was blazing fiercely but not burning his clothes at all.
[Seeing how well you handle the wing, it seems you already know how to handle extreme demonic energy?]
"No, I don't know that at all. I think it's just because the item performance is good."
Actually, when I faced the Smiling Face Demon earlier too.
Didn't Geuk activate on its own?
Until the Divine Maiden mentioned it, I wouldn't have known the wing had extreme demonic energy condensed to the limit.
[Is that so? If you grant the wing's power to that sword, it would have tremendous power, but it's a shame.]
"To the sword?"
[Yes. The sword is somewhat lower level compared to the wing... but the wavelength seems to match well.]
Well, they're both Flame Angel sets.
The power wavelength would match well.
Should I try it once?
Swook.
Lee Ganghan looked at the sword for a moment.
'I should summon the Spirit of Heavenly Sword too.'
To get proper assistance, he summoned the spirit in Ten Thousand Demon Battle.
Then.
"Yaaawn... Master, did you get a new sword... this time?"
The Spirit of Heavenly Sword came out yawning.
"Eh... no..."
Seeing the sword in Lee Ganghan's hand was the same as before, he showed disappointment.
***
"You've officially joined the universe too... Don't humans give swords? You should offer them immediately, tsk..."
"When did you say this sword was good?"
"Born as a sword spirit, how could I love only one sword..."
Making typical playboy comments while looking around, the Spirit of Heavenly Sword.
"Eh?"
Discovering the Divine Maiden ghost who was watching him with arms crossed.
Whiik!
He quickly entered the sword.
[What, what is it? That bloody-eyed hideous ghost was there...?!]
"Yeah."
[Master! Please refrain from summoning when that thing is around...]
The Spirit of Heavenly Sword speaking much faster than usual.
The Divine Maiden ghost who had been silently listening to those words.
[Heavenly Demon Lord, I will definitely educate him.]
Said so in a firm tone.
Swook.
She entered the sword and disappeared.
Immediately.
[Hiiiiiek! Save me! Save me! save me! save me!!!]
A high-pitched scream echoing from inside the sword.
"The wing has a duration, okay? Finish it quickly."
At Lee Ganghan's words.
The spirit's scream grew louder.
Swook.
The Divine Maiden ghost came out from the sword.
[I really won't do it again, I won't rebel ever again, I'm sorry I'm sorry...]
At the same time, the spirit's pitiful voice echoing from the sword.
'Looks like he got it hard this time too.'
So he shouldn't have said bloody-eyed hideous ghost audibly right after being summoned.
Lee Ganghan shook his head and got to the main point.
"I'm going to inject the wing's power into the sword, give me some assistance."
[Wing...? Wow... what is that? It's incredible...? Can we contain that in here...?]
"They're both Flame Angel."
[Even if they're Flame Angel, the grade seems different... Anyway, I'll assist...]
When the Spirit of Heavenly Sword said he would help from inside.
"Enter the sword."
Lee Ganghan said while looking at the wing.
Then.
Ssssss...
The long-stretched fire wing gathered into the sword blade.
Whaaaarrrr...!
Huge flames soared from the sword.
'This power... is not ordinary.'
I thought they would match well since they're both Flame Angel series.
But it didn't seem to be at that level.
[Uwaat... why is it so strong...? Flames keep coming in...!]
"Are you okay?"
[Hi, please try using the power once...! It's unmanageable, like this...!]
The Spirit of Heavenly Sword telling him to try using the power contained in the sword.
'I should try cutting the barrier once.'
Lee Ganghan swung the sword toward the barrier blocking portal entry.
Chiiiiik...
With a burning sound.
The barrier split in half at once following the sword's trajectory.
'What the.'
I didn't even use a technique from Heavenly Demon Divine Sword.
I just did a simple downward slash.
Yet.
The barrier that had lightly deflected Heaven-Breaking Meteor Palm.
Split in half too easily and disappeared.
"...Why is it so easy?"
[The power contained in the wing seems to be that strong!]
"Hmm."
The power felt from the fire wing wasn't ordinary.
The power is also tremendous.
But then.
'I should fight Nero before the wing disappears.'
Before the wing duration ends.
I should use this power against Nero who had locked the door from inside.
Lee Ganghan entered the portal where the barrier was broken.
Then.
[You enter the Golden Palace without the master's permission.]
[The palace master is extremely angry.]
A warning message appeared saying Nero was angry.
He entered the Golden Palace map.
[Inoooom!!!]
Nero's roar was heard as soon as he entered.
[How dare, how dare!!! You reject my generous offer and enter the Golden Palace on your own?!]
The already giant bronze statue was even bigger than before.
Chiik, Chiik...
Emitting smoke from his entire body.
[Leader of thieves! You will be executed on the spot here!!!]
Swooong!
Nero's bronze statue lifting his foot to trample Lee Ganghan directly.
Since he was already originally big and got even bigger.
The size difference was clear, like a human stepping on an ant.
'Last time too, except for the Goblin Chief, all the goblins burst out.'
This attack.
I should dodge first and counterattack.
Lee Ganghan thought so and tried to move, but.
Whaaaarrrr...!
The wing on his back wrapped around Lee Ganghan as if protecting him.
The foot and wing made direct contact.
Then.
Chiiiiik!
The giant Nero's sole melted away instantly.
Smoke spread in all directions.
[Keu, keuk...?!]
The bronze statue staggering in surprise at the wing's unexpected firepower.
Soon Nero had not only his sole but also his shin completely melted.
He reached the point of having to support his body with one foot.
'Wow... what's with the wing's firepower?'
Wasn't it grade S+?
Even though it's a one-time use item.
And I'm using two simultaneously, I didn't know it could neutralize Nero, the master of B2 Golden Palace, so easily.
'But looking at Nero again, he looks really weak.'
Last time he created an impenetrable golden barrier.
He was a tricky opponent to attack, shouting to gather an audience.
Seeing him again after a long time.
He looked like a pathetic giant statue whose foot melted as soon as it touched the wing.
Especially after seeing the white mask earlier.
The before and after were clearly compared.
Still.
[This thief...! Do you think I'll just take this lying down!]
When Nero, who had been staggering with his burning foot, shouted.
Smul, smul...
Bronze swelled from the cut surface.
The missing foot part regenerated instantly.
Thump!
Nero stood properly on the ground again.
However, he didn't immediately try to trample Lee Ganghan like before.
[Umm...]
He seemed somewhat cautious.
Then.
Ziiing...
A giant golden barrier appeared near Nero.
'That guy's specialty is making barriers.'
Since trampling didn't work.
Is he trying to put up a shield first and assess the situation?
Then.
'I should attack from this side.'
Swook.
Lee Ganghan raised the Flame Angel's sword and concentrated firepower on it.
When both wings protecting Lee Ganghan gathered at the sword tip.
Paaaaat...!
Pure white flames soared high upward.
[Limit... it's the limit...!]
When crying sounds came from inside the sword again.
Lee Ganghan chuckled.
"Heavenly Demon Divine Art."
He spoke the name of Heavenly Demon Divine Art.
