Chapter 307 (1/2)

“How do you know me...?”

In fact, I had doubts at first. It reminded me of the sudden fan signing event due to Park Muyeol at the World Competition. She called me ‘orabeoni,’ so it was natural to have such suspicions. Was she one of the people I gave a signature to at the time?

“Kukuku. It has been a long time. No wonder why you can’t recognize me.

The old lady whose name was unknown laughed like it was interesting. I was becoming more and more confused. It had been a long time? What was she saying right now?

“I’m sorry. Since I'm older, I can’t remember things well...”

“Oh, Orabeoni was always bad at remembering people’s names. Now. Still, it is regretful that you forgot me. I came back alive like this.”

“W-What are you saying...?”

My mind was confused. I didn’t know what the old woman in front of me was talking about. If you asked me if she was a woman I loved in the past, that wasn’t it either. I only loved my wife. If so, maybe I made a mistake while drinking? No, no. I had never done that before.

“Demons are coming—!”

At this moment, the shout from a soldier spread steadily through the camp. Soon, there were the drumming sounds that signaled an emergency.

Tung! Tung!

The unnamed old woman and I ran out of the barracks. As expected, it was very noisy. The soldiers were busy moving, carrying various weapons and putting on armor as they lined up to meet the enemy. Damian ran out of the other barracks, and Kerenos and Edward came with me.

Kim Sujeong and Ma Seokdu were also present. We quickly climbed the wall to look at the incoming enemies. I increased my vision using super sensitivity and examined the faces of the enemies. Were they cows led by Belphegor? The appearance of the incoming demons matched very well with the surrounding terrain.

According to Damian, Belphegor had descended to take revenge on those who killed his son, Minotaur. It was clear the demon king on the other side was Belphegor. Additionally, he was the one who killed the Phoenix...

“Now. Those rotten bastards have come all the way here.”

“......?”

The unknown old woman popped up right behind me. Above her head, hundreds of witches and wizards were looking down at the approaching enemies while riding brooms. The old lady moved her fingers and started drawing triangles. The triangular array was completed in an instant and floated in front of the old woman. The woman poked her staff into the triangle. The old lady laughed again.

A white light extended from the triangle and swept horizontally, devastating the enemies ahead. The wizards and witches above our heads chanted spells and various ice and water spells started to unfold. The scenery of snow and rain appeared.

Michael and Zhen Sulong fought fiercely. The demon king known as Commitment to Greed wasn’t an easy opponent. He was very difficult to face because he combined martial arts and magic. The Zeus Guild and Martial Arts Guild showed good cooperation and launched a two hour battle.

[Kuock. This...!]

[Aaaack—!]

Finally, the first results came. The two heads reacted differently as they roared angrily. Ashtar couldn’t hide his surprise when he saw one of his arms being cut off. Ashtar held his severe arm and looked at the human being who cut it off.

[You...!]

Zhu Yangtian, the deputy guild leader of the Martial Arts Guild, avoided Ashtar’s fist while holding the dimensional scissors in his hand. He had secretly ambushed from behind and succeeded in cutting off Ashtar’s arm. Ashtar remained calm. It was enough to play around with one arm. He was a demon king with enough power. His severed arm would soon grow back. After that, he would pour all types of hellish magic toward the enemies in front of him.

[...No!]

[It isn’t growing...?]

The two heads expressed embarrassment at the same time. This time, he looked really flustered. Ashtar saw his severed arm that fell to the ground and turned toward the ugly thing that had cut it off. Ashtar’s face looked like a ferocious dokkaebi.

[The Dimensional Scissors of the Executioner of Love! How do you guys have it...?!]

[Ugh! My arm...!]

One of Ashtar’s arms poured out hell magic while the remaining two arms unleashed ‘Breaking Sky’ martial arts and devastated the enemies in front of him. Astar’s two fists poured out like rain.

“Kuack!”

“Aack!”

Michael managed to defend himself with sand, but the power of the hell magic that rose from the ground was difficult to bear. Zhen Sulong was seriously injured because he focused on attacking rather than defending.

[I am a descendant of a giant. I am stronger and more resilient than any other race!]

[I can’t forgive you—!]

The group felt helpless for the first time in front of Ashtar’s indescribable power. Ashtar’s power soared to the point where it was appropriate to say he had let himself go. Additionally, he was the descendant of a giant so Ashtar started to grow in size. He became larger than the walls of Erebos.

“Shit. There is no answer.”
