Chapter 229: Demon King (1)

It wasn’t bad since I had powerful enemies.

I turned my head and looked around.

Most of my main subordinates were here.

Oswen, Chrisley, Tashmal, Roy, Rose and Yihi.

Shock, worry, and astonishment could all be seen.

But the one emotion they had in common was relief.

”How long has it been?”

”To be precise. 139 days, Master.”

Yihi said.

“Ha!”

I laughed bitterly.

139 days. That was almost half the time limit given for the Hell Monarch’s invasion. It wouldn’t be surprising if there were sudden changes during this time.

I didn’t know what had happened. I expressed my curiosity.

”I don’t see Maxium. Is he still trying to occupy Upa’s dungeons?”

Maxium.

A knight who thought of me as the Hell Monarch and swore allegiance. He moved according to my orders.

If everyone had gathered then he should be here as well. But I didn’t see him anywhere.

The area became filled with static. None of them could open their mouths.

“Master...Maxium is dead. That bad Pandemonium.”

Yihi was forced to speak. I frowned.

The last I remembered, Pandemonium was on the defensive.

He couldn’t afford to send out separate troops.

I gave Maxium a massive army and he sliced the enemy like a fish in water. In order to get rid of Maxium, the army also needed to be removed.

Then how did Pandemonium remove Maxium?

It was impossible in terms of common sense. My expression hardened.

”Tell me about the last 139 days.”

In the early days, nothing big happened. I was absent, but it was difficult to reverse the situation.

Pandemonium weakened and Chrisley continued winning. Maxium also took half of Upa’s dungeons. I could see how much was gained by looking at the residual stats.

Ariel also did her best to keep Pandemonium in check. She quickly called her forces and also succeeded in restoring the silver knights. If this continued then it was obvious that Pandemonium would be ruined. There were only a few steps left until he had to officially confront Ariel Diablo.

So all of Pandemonium’s limbs were cut off. He had only one dungeon remaining.

”All Yihi knows is that Pandemonium pretended to retreat. Chrisley will tell you the rest, Master.”

I turned my eyes towards Chrisley. Chrisley spoke with a grim expression.

“...My Dungeon Master. Pandemonium planned something separate. He took Hash. I should have been more careful, but I was drunk on the successive victories.”

”Pandemonium did something to Hash?”

It was strange. Hash had the highest rank among the angels on Earth, but there was no reason to kidnap him. Even if Hash was kidnapped, the angels wouldn’t help Pandemonium. In that respect, the angels were like swords that Pandemonium didn’t understand.

Chrisley continued like she knew my question.

“Pandemonium...he used Hash as a sacrifice in front of his dungeon. Along with the cherub blood, he also obtained the blood of a thrones angel from somewhere. When we attacked his dungeon, he opened the door in front of us.”

The thrones angel Opinion. I knew the name. Apart from Hash, he was the next highest ranking and led the angels at Greenwich Observatory. He offered the blood of both of them as sacrifices. It was clear that something unusual had happened.

”What did Pandemonium open?”

”The summons. Celestial Door...opened.”

Chrisley closed her eyes like she was recalling that time. She shuddered like she was sick. Tashmal, Oswen and the others also formed fists.

At that time, Tashmal interrupted. Her black wings flapped strongly as she spoke.

”The seraphim Camael descended. Along with his 1.14 million subordinates...I saw that Camael-nim would descend, but I never imagined it would be at the hand of a demon.”

Tashmal’s voice was filled with rage. A summoning by a demon wasn’t permitted. She had fallen but was still influenced by her previous angel state.

A seraphim was an angel at the very top of the hierarchy. Except for the Celestial King, a seraphim was the strongest angel in Heaven.

”I don’t think that Camael would help just because Pandemonium summoned him. Self-destruction?”

”He was driven to the edge. He has a nasty temper and can’t stand anyone else taking his position.”

Tashmal’s words were correct. Pandemonium was greedy. He wasn’t completely different from Upa in this regard. He absolutely hated anyone being above him. His ruin was guaranteed if he opened the Celestial Door.

Pandemonium learnt demonic magic. He even knew ancient magic. He was well aware of what would happen if he opened the Celestial Door. It was strange that...Camael.

”What is the damage? Tell me the situation.”

I turned back to Chrisley.

Chrisley spoke in a calm manner.

”Maxium returned to the earth and the army he commanded was destroyed. After Camael was summoned, 70% of the army I led also returned to the ground.”
