Chapter 163 - Othello 2 (2/2)
Woohyuk summoned Verserios and slashed Helena in half vertically.
Then, a black rift appeared along the blade’s trajectory and the surrounding landscape crumbled.
As he exited through the rift, he saw Andras with a deep cut on his side, dripping black blood.
“Kuk…! Damn it...!”
”Did you think I'd be affected by a psychological attack this weak?
For the past 40 years, he had seen the deaths of his loved ones in numerous imaginary worlds.
He kept encountering undesirable futures.
However, he was able to overcome all his fears because he had the conviction that he would not be shaken under any circumstances.
As Woohyuk glared at him with his cold eyes, Andras shivered.
'I’m not his match...’
However, he didn’t want to be sealed within Lemegeton no matter what. Even death sounded like a better choice.
It hadn't even been long since he had opened my eyes after his long hibernation period, but this time he would be trapped in a magic book.
Andras hated being bound by someone more than anything, and decided to struggle to the end.
Stab!
The ice-attribute spear buried itself into the ground again.
Then the surroundings quickly froze and a strong blizzard began to blow.
“You still haven’t realized your position here.”
Woohyuk clenched his left fist.
Afterwards, he suddenly disappeared and his fist immediately popped up before Andras’ eyes.
Thump!
Woohyuk's left fist flew out and struck Andras in the face.
His movements were so fast that Andras couldn't respond at all.
He could only fly back and fall to the ground due to the impact.
“Urgh…!!!”
“That’s going to hurt for a while. My fist was infused with the former Demon God’s energy.”
Woohyuk was now able to manipulate demonic energy like internal energy to some extent.
As he looked down at the pathetic demon crawling on the ground, Andras cried out in tears.
“Save me, Astaroth…!!”
Thud!
Thump thump!
Wham thwack boom!
Woohyuk's ruthless kicks continuously struck Andras.
His power was beyond imagination, so Andras passed out as foam formed in his mouth.
“If you act in a stupid manner, your body will suffer…”
Woohyuk clicked his tongue and opened Lemegeton.
Then, Andras turned into black energy and was sucked into it.
“One down. Two to go.”
Next was Orobas' turn.
While looking at the waiting list, Woohyuk summoned the three demon kings of the Ars Nova circle.
“A remarkable victory, Lord Asura.”
“What are you talking about, Amii?”
“This place looks like the arena where we fought Ivanov earlier.”
Volak and Dantalion were guarding the entrance to the 5th floor’s pyramid while Amii was watching Woohyuk from the control room on the 2nd floor.
Woohyuk briefly explained his plan and told them to get ready to battle Orobas.
“Orobas ranks 55th, so don’t look down on him too much. Attack him together and don’t let your guard down.”
He was strong enough to face Orobas on his own, but he had summoned the three Demon Kings to get them used to battles against other demon kings.
In Andras’ case, his rank was too low, so he didn’t bother having them fight him.
Before long, the three demon kings took their battle stances in their positions, and Orobas’ name appeared on the waiting list.
Woohyuk matched Orobas with himself, and soon enough...
Swoosh!
A black magic circle spread on the ground on the other side of the arena, and a young man with purple hair appeared from thin air .
”Hm…? You are…?!”
Orobas reacted like Andras.
He had never imagined he would meet Woohyuk in a place like this.
“Nice to meet you, Orobas.”
“…Did you come here to get the Sangreal Chronicles?”
”Indeed. And while I'm here, I plan to capture you as well.”
Woohyuk was suggesting to surrender before fighting.
He was trying to save time, as he also had to seal Astaroth.
But Orobas snickered.
“Don’t make me laugh. Do you think the demon world will become yours just because you defeated a few low-ranking demon kings?”
“Amii is not particularly different from you in terms of rank.”
“…It’s because she’s a bitch. Women should be managing monsters in dungeons. That’s where they belong. Even if her rank is quite high, she must’ve acted emotionally and probably couldn’t use her full strength.”
It was quite a sexist remark.
Amii was fuming with fury and stared at Orobas.
“What did you just say? That’s funny, coming from someone who was almost killed by an ordinary high-ranking demon!”
“…I was injured from a battle against a Paladin back then. Loengreen was lucky.”
It was quite famous that Loengreen fought against Orobas in resentment over the death of Trinity Knights Commander Roland.
As Orobas made an excuse, the silent Dantalion coughed and intervened in the conversation.
“Hmm... Let's not lie to ourselves, Lord Orobas. Loengreen wasn’t the one who was lucky, it was you. Didn’t you summon your vassals back then because you were about to lose the battle against him?”
“Tha, that’s nonsense!”
Orobas' face was a hot reminder.
Volak watched him and shook his head.
“A Demon King was pushed back in a battle against a high-ranking demon and had to mobilize his vassals. You are the disgrace of the demon world.”
“Shut up! I don't want to hear that from you two!
Orobas screamed, denying the truth.
At that time, a black portal appeared in the air, and a silver-haired man with golden eyes appeared before everyone.
The demon kings were astonished as they recognized him.
