Chapter 303

***

There was a feeling of fear passing through his spine, but Veld couldn’t accept it.

He couldn’t’ think of how that person could be so confident given the current situation.

‘Yeah.’

‘It’s nothing.’

That human was completely depleted of his magic energy.

He could feel that he was completely low.

The energy, which was called magic energy, was what determined one’s force.

But the confidence that he saw on the human was nothing but a bluff in his eyes.

Veld believed that that was nothing but Min Sung’s last struggle before his death.

But his instincts were still warning him.

That it was dangerous.

At that moment, Min Sung’s eyes sparkled, and white lightning whirled below his feet like a tornado.

The white lightning slowly turned black, and a curtain formed around the lightning.

The curtain was in the shape of a circle, and it almost looked like a snowball. The powerful and round curtain began to pull in the devils around them.

The devils got sucked up, and their bodies got shredded as it got absorbed into the circle.

Veld, who was watching with blank eyes, moved in order to get rid of Min Sung.

His scythe, which was charged with magic energy, swung at Min Sung’s head.

Min Sung’s eyes turned black.

Magic energy gathered within Min Sung’s body, and that force exploded out of his body.

Veld’s scythe suddenly froze in place.

That was because his body turned stiff.

Min Sung used his remaining magic energy to use a divination that he had hidden until now.

Intensification of his absorption method.

Rather than absorbing the life energy from the devils themselves, he could create a space that could absorb the energy and turn it against the opponents.

But that method was only possible when there were many devils to absorb from, and this was the perfect time to use that skill.

This skill was one that could create an opportunity.

The devils continued to suck into the large and dark curtain.

And the powder that resulted from their bodies formed an energy that began to threaten Veld.

Veld’s eyes widened and his face grimaced.

“T-there’s no way. No way…!”

While his body froze still due to the horror, Min Sung stared back at him with black eyes and complete leisure.

Veld, who later realized that Min Sung was threatening him with the ingredients made from his devils, soon knew that he was in a serious situation.

He tried to use as much magic energy as possible to fight back, but Min Sung’s sword was much faster than that of Veld.

Slash!

The Gungnir S slashed through Veld’s stomach.

“Ugh…”

Veld dropped his jaw and let out a short breath, and Min Sung pulled out his sword with a straight face.

Veld lost balance in his legs as blood poured out of his body.

Meanwhile, the devils continued to turn into powder, and the life energy that resulted continued to attack Veld.

Although devils continued to pour out of the gate, the numbers no longer mattered.

The devils were nothing but shackles to Veld.

‘… Damn it! Why do I have to suffer like this?’

Veld felt as though his insides were rotting away.

He thought he was finished.

He thought he would soon dominate the human world, but it was nothing but a trap.

Veld clenched his teeth and glared at Min Sung with the desire to kill him, but that was all he could do at the moment.

Min Sung was in complete control over Veld, and the devils continued to disappear as if they were getting ground by a mincer.

It was a nightmare.

“… You coward. You acted like you’re all that, but you resorted to this?”

Min Sung smiled at Veld with his dark eyes.

“You’re the one hiding behind those devils.”

“If it wasn’t for the devils, I’d kill you in an instant…”

“Wake up. They’re not my underlings; they’re yours.”

Slashhh!

Min Sung’s Gungnir S slashed through Veld’s right arm.

Upon losing his right arm, Veld used his force to fight back, but his body froze up preventing him to do anything.

He felt helpless, and he knew that this was all because of the power derived from the dying devils.

For that reason, he had no choice but to send the devils back to the Demonic Realm in order to stop him from using the skill.

However…

“Don’t get any useless hope.”

Min Sung’s Gungnir S charged toward his head before he could do anything.

Poof!

Veld turned into smoke in an instant.

Upon his disappearance, Min Sung knitted his brows and looked around him.

He couldn’t locate Veld with his eyes.

‘… He disappeared?’

Min Sung’s eyes turned toward a certain direction.

… Toward the gate.

The gate was slowly closing.

[The passageway to the Demonic Realm has opened.]

The system notified him that he was able to enter the Demonic Realm.

[The passageway to the Demonic Realm will soon close.]

Min Sung clenched down on his teeth and halted his absorption method.

His dark and round magic energy disappeared, and the devils stared at Min Sung from a distance with their guards up.

Min Sung looked at the devils, Ho Sung Lee, Bowl, and Ssol, before looking back at the gate.

There was no doubt that Veld returned to the Demonic Realm in order to avoid the crisis.

For that reason, Min Sung had to choose between two paths.

He had to either enter the Demonic Realm and kill Veld, or stay in the human world and take care of the remaining devils.

Since the gate was closing, he didn’t have time to contemplate between the two.

Countless thoughts crossed his mind.

If he didn’t enter the Demonic Realm now, he could lose his opportunity to catch Veld.

And if Veld happened to return another time, there was no guarantee that he could protect the human world.

But entering the Demonic Realm also came with great risks.

If the gate closed once he entered the Demonic Realm, he could possibly lose his chance to return to the human world, and even if he managed to enter the Demonic Realm, it was possible he would never find Veld.

But what if he lost Veld this time around?

Veld had already become too powerful.

If that wasn’t the case, it was hard to understand why he didn’t mess with him in Beatrice.

The god of the Demonic Realm named Veld was going to become even stronger.

If he hadn’t used the devils against him this time around, he would have been killed.

His best chance to kill Veld was right now that he was missing an arm and was suffering great damage.

For that reason, he couldn’t get the thought of killing Veld despite the risks out of his head.

He wanted to put an end to it this time.

He knew he had to make a decision, but he couldn’t help but hesitate anyway.

Time passed and the gate was closing.

Meanwhile, devils continued to pour out.

If he went back to the Demonic Realm, could Repone survive?

And if he returned, could he find Veld?

His uncertainty pained his heart.

“Sir.”

In response to Ho Sung Lee’s voice, Min Sung looked beside him.

Ho Sung Lee was looking at the gate with a smile.

“Should I follow you? I’ll look for that devil with my supporter ability.”

Min Sung stared into space with a laugh.

“Bowl and Repone,” called Min Sung.

“Yes, Master!”

Bowl answered, and Repone flapped his wings and flew over to Min Sung.

“Take care of this.”

Bowl saluted to assure him not to worry.

As for Repone, he let out a small cry.

Min Sung clenched back on his teeth and glared at the gate.

“We’re going in. Stay close.”

“Yes, Sir.”

Min Sung gestured for Ssol to follow.

Ssol stood next to Min Sung, and after holding Ssol under his arm, he began running while keeping Ho Sung Lee’s speed in mind.

Ho Sung Lee immediately followed Min Sung.

Min Sung swung his Gungnir S at the gate.

Kaboom!

His dark magic energy cut through the devils, and the devils that were pouring out of the gate fell to the ground as dead bodies.

Meanwhile, Min Sung leaped off from the ground, and so did Ho Sung Lee.

Min Sung and Ho Sung Lee both got sucked in through the gate.

***

‘… That damned human.’

‘That good for nothing human!’

Veld breathed roughly while glaring down at his missing right arm while his whole body trembled.

As a result of his rage, the desire to kill radiated from his body, causing the ground around him to rot.

He intended to kill him effortlessly with his devil’s numbers, so he didn’t expect the human to use such a skill on him.

Veld decided to recover and then go back to the human world when there were no more devils before killing him and taking over the human world.

His recovery speed was delayed due to the damage, but his arm would regenerate eventually.

“That damned human. As soon as I recover and bring the devils back, I’ll kill you as painfully as possible…”

Veld, who was mumbling with rage, suddenly jolted his eyes wide open and looked north with a blank look on his face.

“N-n-no way…”

Veld mumbled in a shaking voice.

The Demonic Realm was like his living room.

So if anyone happened to trespass, Veld was able to immediately recognize it.

And the person who trespassed into the Demonic Realm didn’t make an effort to hide their power.

He could clearly feel that he was being hunted at a quick speed.

“That crazy son of a bitch…!”

Veld sprung up and looked around him in panic.

He didn’t know what would happen if they faced off against each other now.

He could kill him easily if it wasn’t for his injury, but that was not the case.
