===================
Demonic Realm (é”境).
A forbidden area where even in the Demon Realm, not just anyone can enter or exit.
An emergency meeting of Great Demons was held.
The Great Demons who lived scattered in the Demonic Realm gathered in one place.
Baal, Mammon, Mephisto, Belphegor, Asmodeus.
Their expressions were not very good.
“Is it still connected?”
“Yeah. Earth No. 675 is… we can’t sever it.”
“It can’t be helped. That’s a place where the contract has already been fulfilled, right.”
“Hyu-u.”
The contract with Earth No. 1,001 Black Tower was completely torn up.
There will be no occasion where it will be connected to the Demonic Realm through there from now on.
The problem is Earth No. 675.
When that world was destroyed, the Demonic Realm also intervened.
The Demonic Realm partook in the destruction of the world.
They threw a festival of blood to their hearts’ content without receiving any restrictions.
With things like this, could tearing up the contract be possible?
Even thinking from the other side’s perspective, they wouldn’t accept it.
For that reason, if the player enters the 675th Black Tower 91st floor, they will be moved to the Demonic Realm.
Actually, even if a mortal human enters the Demonic Realm, what’s there to be scared of?
We could either catch them and throw them as food for monsters, or send the Demonic Realm’s army to crush them.
However, the one remaining player of Earth No. 675.
That guy’s background was the problem.
He has a reassuring backer.
An Outer God (外神) of another world who storms into the Demonic Realm day in and day out (heo-gu-han nal) and acts violently.
In other words, the energy of the Great Demon God (大é”神) was seeping into that player.
Is that all?
The God of Swords who occasionally follows the Great Demon God and speeds through the Demonic Realm’s world on a motorcycle, the God of Monkeys who possesses both demonic nature (é”性) and divine nature (神性) simultaneously.
The energy of all of them could be entirely sensed from a single player.
They are probably on very close terms or something like joint disciples.
They’re telling us to deal with such a guy?
Are they crazy?
When the entire Demon Realm is on the verge of collapsing completely?
“What if that guy enters?”
“What do you mean what! We just have to hole up in the Demonic Realm and not come out.”
“That’s right. Penalty fee my foot, even if our abilities decline, it’s better than being extinguished.”
Usually, Great Demons are titled immortals.
Meaning they don’t die and don’t extinguish either.
However, in certain cases, the trait of immortality might not be applied.
If the power of the Great Demon God governing death intervenes, that is.
But right at that moment!
Asmodeus tilting his head and abruptly standing up.
“He entered.”
“What? Who?”
“That player.”
“This…….”
Seu-reu-reu-reuk.
An image floated up in the sky of the Demonic Realm.
The figure of the human who appeared leading his subordinates was visible.
“It’s a big problem.”
“Will that person carry out the mission?”
“Wait a moment. Because he might accept the mission and abandon it.”
“Please, if he’d just abandon it…….”
“Wait! Over there, isn’t she a Succubus?”
“Oh! Right. Succubus, Succubus Queen.”
“So she yielded to that player.”
“Then we’ll be able to let them know the terror of our Demon Realm and Demonic Realm.”
A short while later.
The player chatting (du-reon-du-reon) and then shaking his head back and forth (jeol-le-jeol-le).
Inferring from his expression and actions.
“…Is it an abandonment?”
“It looks like it.”
“Hyu-u, we lived.”
“Please go quickly.”
But then?
Deu-deu-deu-deu-deu-deu-deu-deu-deu…….
The shaking screen in the air.
No.
The entire Demon Realm was vibrating.
“Heok!”
“Th, this!”
“Haa,”
“…….”
The distortion of laws.
The display of mighty power.
It’s the Great Demon God.
What he always does every time he descends to the Demon Realm.
I have come.
So flatten your heads and bow down.
If it were the human realm, the world would have collapsed already.
It’s enduring because it’s the Demon Realm.
“We’re fucked.”
“We’re ruined.”
“Damn it!”
The player and the Great Demon God met.
They were even smiling broadly at each other, displaying gladness.
“…Who was the last one in the first journey?”
“It’s not me.”
“Me neither.”
“Then?”
The Great Demons’ gazes concentrated on one person.
Baal’s expression rotted away.
* * *
To the Demon at the Crossroads, or the Devil of the Intersection, Kihelas, humans are targets of ridicule and contempt.
However, right now he was kneeling modestly in front of a human’s feet.
Why did things become like this?
I was hiding well though.
I suppose so!
How could one evade the eyes and ears of the Great Demon God?
Kihelas already knew.
The one surviving human might visit the Demon Realm.
Absolutely do not make contact.
So he did as he was told.
Even though he ended up being caught eventually.
The Great Demon God glaring at him even now.
Extinction with just a nod.
No matter how much one is a demon, extinction is a scary thing.
It means one’s existence completely disappearing from all dimensions, how could he not be scared?
He has to listen well.
“Excuse me, Demon at the Crossroads?”
“Kihelas, please call me Kihel.”
“Ah-ah, Kihel?”
“Yep!”
“About the mission you threw just now, what does the word ‘make them yield’ mean? Does it mean to kill, or…….”
“Euum, th, that is.”
The new mission Joo-hyuk received after meeting the Demon at the Crossroads.
[Mission : Choose the proposal of the Demon at the Crossroads.]
[Receive 10 Billion kg Topmost-Grade Magic Crystals and Dimension Naturalize. – Right Path]
[VS]
[Make Great Demon Baal yield and live as is. – Left Path]
Of course, I have no intention to choose the right path.
Unconditionally the left path.
I just don’t know what ‘making them yield’ means.
“Originally, Great Demons are b, basically immortal.”
Is that so?
“Killing them would be impossible, right?”
How would I know.
“So the mission is completed just by making them yield.”
Since I can’t kill them, yielding.
I understand the reason but.
“Are Great Demons guys who yield if told to yield?”
“Absolutely not.”
“Then it was an impossible mission from the start?”
“That is correct.”
“Is it telling me to die while carrying out the mission?”
“Exactly right.”
“…….”
This bastard (sae-ggi-ga).
As Joo-hyuk’s eyes changed, the Demon at the Crossroads Raelas flinched and lowered his gaze downward.
Then King Yama, who was puffing (bbeo-ggeum-bbeo-ggeum) on a long pipe cigarette from behind, also spoke as if it was ridiculous.
“Absolutely won’t yield, you say? Guys like you are acting out (seol-chi-go da-ni-neun-gun) as if you’re some chivalrous fighters or something.”
Indeed.
Your words are correct.
No matter how much the ‘Great (大)’ character is attached, they are demon bastards.
“Great Hero Bong, for now, accept the mission. Let’s smoke a cigarette and go make the trash yield, no, crush them.”
You are cool.
You are reliable.
I will solely trust the Great King-nim and go.
Like a leftist.
Left again.
Tti-ring!
[Main Mission : Make Great Demon Baal yield and live as is.]
[Completion Time Limit : None.]
[Completion Condition : Great Demon Baal Yield 0/1]
“You, get lost now.”
King Yama waving his hand nonchalantly towards the Demon at the Crossroads Kihelas as if he’s annoying.
Hwi-rit!
“…Ki-e-ek!”
Pa-at!
Peu-seu-seu-seu-seu…….
The Demon at the Crossroads Kihelas decomposing as if his body was scattering and disappearing.
That guy is monarch, LSSR class too though.
“You too.”
Pa-at!
Peu-seu-seu-seu-seu…….
“And you too.”
Poor demons.
Golden axe, silver axe, iron axe.
They completely disappeared.
At that moment!
Cha-ra-ra-ra-rak!
– You shouldn’t just kill them, you should have pulled out their hearts first and then killed them.
The letters Mari made with Homunculi.
King Yama tilting his head and then.
“Why were you trying to pull out their hearts?”
– I will make medicine for Summoner-nim to eat.
King Yama’s expression turning fierce asking what kind of nonsense is that.
“Such dirty things for your master’s medicine? Have you lost your mind? Even putting in only good things and making it would fall short.”
– If I refine them and make them clean…….
“Even so, you can’t use those things. What kind of medicine from stinking monster hearts.”
– I am confident. In erasing the demonic energy.
Corner Mari.
Unexpectedly brave.
Even answering back to King Yama.
“If you really must use them, use better ones.”
– Like what?
“Maybe about the Great Demon level.”
– Ah!
“Anyway, you’re admirable. To even think of making medicine for your master.”
King Yama smiled a pleased smile.
Joo-hyuk did too.
Ah-ah.
To think she’s a summoned entity who only worries about the Summoner asleep or awake.
“Great Hero Bong is blessed.”
“Yes?”
“For your subordinates to care for their superior like this.”
Yes yes.
You know.
I live solely trusting the summoned entities.
“I am not, my judge, reaper, and messenger bastards slack off (nong-ddaeng-i) every chance they get, and only think of stealing my cigarettes to smoke.”
Aigoo.
Your subordinates are thieves.
Our summoned entities are not like that though.
“They are all decent people.”
“I am aware.”
“Even though I see guys who have one foot in for a trip to hell.”
“Yep?”
“I mean those people. If it were the world this judge managed, they would have gone straight to the Scorching Hell or the Freezing Hell already.”
The ones King Yama is pointing to are the Strongest and Fiercest in the Murim Mad Demon, Assassin Cossack, and the crazy fanatic Heretic Inquisitor Bardin.
I can’t deny this.
There are things they did during their lifetimes.
“The two reformed monsters and two beasts also have many sins.”
The reformed monsters Vampire, Succubus.
The two beasts, Green Dragon, Blood Wolf.
“Those women are also by no means ordinary.”
Bomb maniac foul-mouthed Elf Mari, serious and stern Gyeon Dal-rae, sniper Major Bae, formerly human Ice Crystal Baek Dan-ah.
“An old scatterbrained attention-seeker, and a dull guy who’s only strong.”
Mackenzie-ssi, well.
But our Gobang has gotten smart, you know?
He’s not the Gobang-ssi of the past, you see?
“What is that over there? There’s something that isn’t human either? Great Hero Bong’s tastes are also peculiar.”
Ggya-reu-reuk.
Ten Thousand-Year-ie.
“Its body is a lump of iron, but its mind is human.”
Magi-Engineer El.
‘Um.’
Come to think of it, our team is a bit peculiar.
“Still, there is exactly one person with the qualities of a Heavenly Being (천ì¸).”
“A Heavenly Being?”
“I mean an altruistic soul who sacrifices themselves for others.”
“Ah!”
“Such a noble person lives happily in the Heavenly Realm after death.”
A Heavenly Being, he says.
Could it be me?
‘…It’s not.’
The one King Yama is looking at is precisely Rajix.
“Ho-e?”
I agree.
When it comes to being devoted, isn’t our farmhand the best in the dimension.
And although he isn’t here, Farmer Duu would probably qualify as well.
“Let us slowly go catch a Great Demon. No matter how much it’s the Demon Realm, there’s a limit to the time I can stay.”
“Yep! Great King-nim.”
“I was in a situation where I was about to burst with anger anyway because stress piled up so much, so it worked out well.”
What could possibly stress him so much?
“Is there perhaps something unpleasant or…….”
“Ah! It’s nothing special, it is because of cigarettes. Even the cigarette butts have entirely run out.”
Run out, you say.
Then what are you smoking now?
“I also have something called taste. The long pipe cigarette with coarse tobacco leaves has a bad aftertaste.”
You are a heavy smoker who thoroughly nitpicks the taste of cigarettes.
What is your preferred cigarette?
“The highest-grade Earth-produced filter cigarettes, produced by selecting only the finest tobacco leaves through strict quality control, are the real cigarettes.”
Contrary to his outward appearance.
It’s a macho style but.
His tastes are high-class.
“As Great Hero Bong also knows, the world I live in is also connected to a specific Earth.”
I heard about that from the Sword Immortal.
A parallel universe Earth different from here.
“So a place called a shopping mall also exists, and there was nothing they didn’t sell.”
King Yama suddenly sighing deeply (puk).
“Hyu-u, however, didn’t a smoking ban wind suddenly blow and cigarette sales were stopped.”
Oh dear!
“Until now, I managed to get Earth-produced filter cigarettes through back-alley smuggling and smoked them somehow, but I ended up getting caught.”
How regrettable.
“So the stress is quite something. It’s to the point I’m going crazy.”
That won’t do.
Quitting smoking is important too, but if it stresses you out that much, smoking is rather better.
How many people are there who smoke all they want and live a long life to 100 years old.
And there’s no way King Yama ruining his health due to smoking either.
‘Hold on, are there cigarettes?’
Rajix prepares various things for tower climbing.
Among them, making sure the things the summoned entities like don’t run out is also Rajix’s role.
Things like meat, alcohol, beverages, or snacks like candy and chocolate.
Since it’s such a vast subspace, when he buys once, he buys fully and puts them in.
‘Among the summoned entities, the only smoker is Mackenzie-ssi, right?’
I wonder if there are cigarettes?
“Rajix-ssi.”
“Ho-e?”
“Do you have cigarettes in the subspace backpack by any chance?”
At that moment!
Jjong-ggeut!
King Yama’s ears twitching.
An expression full of anticipation.
Honestly, I brought up the cigarette story on purpose.
While pretending to be as regretful as possible.
Since I can perhaps give him some, right?
The Sword Immortal bastard also received a lot of gifts, so there’s no reason I wouldn’t.
Would he really have them?
Please, just one pack even.
“Ho-e!”
It seems there is.
Pa-reu-reu, King Yama’s eyebrows trembling with excitement.
Seu-seut, seu-seut, seu-seut.
Rajix began taking items out.
King Yama’s pupils gradually widened.
Oh my god.
What is that?
The cigarettes the worker born with the qualities of a Heavenly Being pulled out by the boxes.
Usually, one box is 50 cartons.
Since it’s 3 boxes, it’s 150 cartons, 1,500 packs.
“Will this much be enough. It seems too little.”
L, little, you say.
Those expensive goods.
“Great King-nim, I am sorry it is humble, but please accept at least this.”
“G, Great Hero Bong, why are you doing this. Calling it humble, these precious cigarettes…….”
“If I had known it would be like this, I would have brought about 100 boxes.”
“It’s fine. It’s sufficient, if I smoke sparingly, it is definitely enough for at least five months.”
Um?
An amount to smoke for a mere five months, you say?
It’s 1,500 packs?
Does he mean he smokes over 10 packs a day?
He basically lives with it attached to his mouth.
“The volume is big though.”
“Heo-heo-heo, this judge also has an infinite space although it is small.”
Seu-seut, seu-seut, seu-seut.
King Yama swiftly moving the 3 boxes of cigarettes into his pocket.
“Thank you. I shall smoke them well. On the other hand, I am worried. Because I do not have a suitable item to give in return,”
“Ayu, it is fine. You even taught me the Memory Regression Magic.”
“Heo-eo, could such a trivial miscellaneous technique compare to these filter cigarettes.”
He likes it tremendously.
What’s the big deal about cigarettes.
Cossack, who was observing that scene from the back over there, stealthily approached and.
“Jin-sook-ie, when you go to hell later, you can share a smoke with King Yama-nim, sir.”
Why bring up Jin-sook-ie who’s staying still again?
Gyeon Dal-rae also spoke as if whispering.
“Although it is another world, he is a person who is the same as a God (神). It would seem good to make him indebted to us through this opportunity.”
How?
“Unleash more items. With the thought of completely emptying our farmhand’s subspace backpack.”
That’s a good idea.
What is difficult about that.
“Rajix-ssi?”
“Ho-e!”
“Over there, please pack all the snacks and alcohol for Great King-nim.”
“Ho-eng!”
Seu-seut, seu-seu-seut, seu-seu-seu-seu-seut…….
The various snacks, beverages, alcohol, cookies, and various electronic products coming out of the subspace.
“N, no, all of these things…….”
“It is okay. It is nothing. Sword Immortal-nim also took this much.”
I even gave him a custom bike.
“Heo-heo-heo, thank you, Great Hero Bong.”
“I am more thankful.”
“I will receive them with gratitude. Heavenly Being Ra.”
“Ho-e!”
Seu-seu-seut! Seu-seu-seut!
Rajix continuously pouring out items.
King Yama swiftly collecting them.
But right at that moment!
Eu-deu-deu-deu-deu-deu…….
The surrounding background distorting once again.
Ku-reu-reu-reu-reu-reu-reuk…….
The sound of thunder heard from the sky.
“Oh dear! I got too excited.”
When King Yama calmed his mind, the Demon Realm became quiet again.
“Ah right! Which Great Demon do you need to catch?”
“It is to make Baal yield.”
“Baal huh, I know where that guy lives. Let us go to the Demonic Realm.”
King Yama raised both his hands and drew a large circle.
Jji-i-i-i-ik!
A giant rift was created right in front.
And.
“Please follow carefully.”
Joo-hyuk nodded and motioned with his eyes to the summoned entities.
Ssu-uk!
When we went in like that.
One person who was trembling in fear while half-standing (eong-geo-ju-cheum) and stepping backwards.
White skin and red lips.
Flowing black hair, black eyes without whites.
Very beautiful.
Although the gender could not be distinguished whether male or female.
“G, Great Demon God.”
“Shut up.”
Right at that exact moment!
Cossack, with his back bent, approached next to King Yama while continuously rubbing his two palms together.
“Great King-nim.”
“Eung? What is it?”
“That is…….”
Whispering (sok-dak-sok-dak) into King Yama’s ear.
Wow!
Cossack grew up a lot.
To think he couldn’t even make eye contact until a little while ago.
King Yama nodding his head.
Cossack bowing his head rapidly (neop-juk-neop-juk) saying Hehe.
Then spreading his chest wide to Baal.
“The Scorching Hell’s rising star, Bong Summoner-nim’s right hand acknowledged even by King Yama-nim, do you know who is behind me? Backing is also a skill. The hidden powerhouse who piggybacks on power, the fox imitating the tiger’s majesty Cossack, sir.”
Baal staring at Cossack with a gaze saying ‘what is this bastard?’
“Baal, open your ears and listen carefully, sir. Please choose one of the two [Resist and have your heart pulled out] VS [Yield and have your heart pulled out], sir.”
What does that mean?
What do you want him to do?
“This crazy bastard…….”
Cossack flinched in surprise and said to King Yama as if tattling.
“Great King-nim, this guy is getting angry, sir.”
“How dare you!”
Pa-at!
King Yama’s vigor spewing out like frost.
Ku-gung!
The formidable pressure applied to Baal.
Kwa-ak!
Baal’s two knees slammed into the ground.
“I will issue the verdict. It is the penalty of heart extraction. Die!”
The God (神) governing death.
When King Yama’s words of command fell.
Seo-geo-geo-geok!
Jjeo-jeo-jeo-jeo…….
Baal’s chest opening with a chilling sound.
The Great Demon’s heart, which was still pulsating (peol-ddeok-peol-ddeok), revealed at the same time.
Chwa-reu-reu-reu-reuk!
The Homunculi creating letters.
– Yes! (As-sa!)
Tti-ring!
[Great Demon Baal Yield 1/1]
[Great Demon Baal has yielded.]
[The first stage of the Grand Mission has been completed.]
Mission complete.
It’s easy.
It was almost worrisome whether it was too much of a piece of cake (ddal-ggak – click and done).
