Chapter 243 – The Devil from the Abyss 4 (2/2)

Woohyuk put the Frost Ring of Ice in his pocket and immediately flew towards Mammon.

‘Only one guy left.’

In the confrontation before, not knowing if Mammon would join, Woohyuk had taken out Andvaranaut in advance.

Andvaranaut was the artifact that contained part of Mammon’s powers. It was the artifact that he previously obtained from Valkyrie Brynhildr’s Tomb.

The artifact had the power to make the subject selfish or blind.

However, when Woohyuk used the observation ability he had from the Mythical Hero title on the artifact, he received an amazing quest.

[New Achievement]

Name: Path of Immortality

Type: Legend

Contents: Reinforce Andvaranaut with the following items as materials

(Material: Flame Ring of Red Lotus, Frost Ring of Ice, Wind Ring of Zaun).

Others: No retry after failure.

Luckily, the contents of the current Abyssal Demon Quest and this one overlapped a lot.

In general, in the case of a quest, it gives a reward that is superior to that of its consuming materials, so the loot obtained by catching the three ancient demons would not be wasted.

In order to obtain the last material, the Wind Ring of Zaun, Woohyuk raised Verserios and swung towards Mammon with vigor.

Hwi-Ah!

A storm of black flames began to circulate around Mammon.

Seeing the appearance of these black flames, Mammon looked towards Woohyuk with a confused expression,

“W-Wait! Rafael, I want to negotiate with you. If you save me…”

“Shut it.”

Negotiations were possible when both sides had something to gain and protect.

Negotiations were useless when one side had an overwhelmingly advantageous position.

Woohyuk didn’t hesitate and struck Mammon with a full blow.

Kwa-Ang!

With a roaring sound, Verserios cut into the fringe of the purple light that surrounded Mammon’s weapon.

At the same time, Mammon’s Crescent Moon Blade was cracked, and the surrounding landscape temporarily darkened.

Snap!

‘Your weapon has no chance against the current Verserios.’

It was an exclusive weapon for a Demon Lord.

In the future, if he unsealed it one or two more times, it would become a complete weapon.

Unless he brought out a transcendent weapon, like the Ragnar Weapon, Mammon would no longer be able to confront Woohyuk.

Before long, Verserios shattered Mammon’s Crescent Moon Blade.

Slice!

Although he was aided by Lilith, Woohyuk was still satisfied with the result.

Woohyuk made the final swing with Verserios, leaving Mammon to disappear from the world in a cloud of gray dust.

[You have defeated the Ancient Demon Mammon.]

[You have acquired the Wind Ring of Zaun.]

[Epic Quest: Abyssal Demon Quest has been completed.]

[Hidden Class: Rule Breaker is given as a reward for completing the quest.]

‘Rule Breaker…’

Just by looking at the name, Woohyuk thought he’d be getting some interesting skills.

While Woohyuk’s inner expectations were growing, the Demon King Dantalion approached and whispered,

“Asura, it seems like a fight has started over there…”

“… Huh?”

When he turned his head, he saw Lilith’s party fighting with the members of Etheria Rodinus.

Perhaps Lilith’s party was trying to steal the Holy Grail that Helena possessed.

Woohyuk immediately intervened in the battle to protect Helena and Arhen.

“Don’t touch them. If you keep fighting, I won’t stay still,” Woohyuk sternly warned.

“Keuk… You received Lilith’s favor… it seems to have gone to your head…” Trivia, the Witch of Pride who was in the lead position, snapped at Woohyuk as she barred her teeth.

She didn’t appreciate Woohyuk’s blatant attitude.

Though Lilith constantly took care of him and sent ‘love calls’, Woohyuk consistently took Helena’s side.

However, Lilith just shook her hand with a look that she was fine.

“Well, it can’t be helped. I’m going back today. But sooner or later, there will be a day when we meet again, so become stronger,” Lilith said.

“…”

When Lilith announced her intent to retreat, the remaining witches retreated while seething in anger.

Helena sighed with relief as Lilith’s party disappeared.

“Phew… I almost lost the Holy Grail. I could have become a real witch! Anyway, thank you for your help,” Helena said in relief.

“It’s natural for me to save you. You still have value,” Woohyuk dryly replied.

Without the help of Etheria Rodinus, it would be difficult for him to proceed with the epic quest.

Plus, no good would come out of Lilith obtaining the Holy Grail.

When Woohyuk responded coldly, Helena frowned her brow and sharpened her eyes,

“Dang it… would it hurt you to say something warm and encouraging at a time like this? Are you really a man with no manners?

“You’re expecting a lot, Witch of Annihilation. How many times have you ever said warm words to others while possessing the title of ‘Saintess’?”

Helena was the most grotesque Saintess Woohyuk had ever met.

She was probably chased by witches and fanatics early on in her childhood. That would explain why she was so stuck up.

As Woohyuk explained his point, Helena groaned and wrung her hand in the air,

“Don’t attack me personally! Even if I was raised in a normal environment, my personality would be like this,” she shouted with a slightly quivering voice.

“I guess you’ll never get married. Well, you may be able to get married in name only, like the Emperor’s daughter,” Woohyuk replied.

“Like the princess?! Hmph! If things turned out a little differently, I would be the one living luxuriously, like Eleanora right now. I’d probably be walking in a flower garden with handsome princes…” Helena said as her voice trailed off.

She started slipping into her daydream. She subconsciously put her hands on her chest and her eyes started sparkling.

Woohyuk sighed and grabbed her hand,

“Imagine whatever you’re imagining when you go to bed. It’s time to run away.”

As a result of the uproar, large troops were coming from all sides.

The universal quest sent to everyone, to defeat the 72 Demon Kings, probably had something to do with it as well.

Since he looked similar to Lucifer and Mammon, these latecomers would probably consider him their target, as they did not know the circumstances of the events that happened.

“Where are you running to? It’s blocked everywhere…” Helena asked.

“Where? The sky, of course,” Woohyuk replied.

Woohyuk put the ice-encapsulated two Homunculus and the unconscious Cadiz on a flying-type undead. Arhen would ride with him atop the three-legged eagle.

While taking the appropriate escape measures, Woohyuk flung Helena on top of Pegasus and had it shoot into the sky.
