Chapter 360 (1/2)

“Surrender in... a week? Or else the demonic army will be sent...”

I couldn’t finish talking. I wasn’t sure what Lee Geonmyeong did, but he exploited a bug to prevent all users from logging out. I just never dreamed that he would threaten to send an army of one million demons if we didn’t surrender within a week. I felt pained because I was training leisurely without knowing this fact.

Yoo Seonyeong waved her hand to create a black mirror that showed the human world.

“This...”

It was a view of the Atlan Kingdom. Yoo Seonyeong zoomed in on the screen so I could see more details. The first thing I noticed was Mido standing on the wall and staring at the horizon with dignity. She was wearing armor that symbolized royalty instead of the dress she usually wore. Her sword was supporting her like a staff and her red cloak fluttered in the wind.

“Mido...”

I stared at Mido’s face blankly. She was pretending to be casual but her eyes were full of fear. Mido was currently looking at the demons who were swarming like bees. The screen zoomed out again and I could see Lucifer and Ashtar leading the demons. It was clear that the demons were marching toward Metheus as Lee Geonmyeong warned.

I had a sudden thought.

“Honey, Mido...!”

[Calm down.]

“How can I calm down when Mido and the other kids are going to die!”

[It’s fine, so control your agitation.]

Yoo Seonyeong placed a hand on my shoulder. The cold chill made my head cool and I was able to regain my composure. I couldn’t express the anxiety that was writhing in my mind. Now was the time to grit my teeth and think calmly.

“How is it fine?”

[It is literally as I said. I intentionally told you late. This means I have an idea, right?]

“Umm, but...”

[Do you have the Poison Eating Sword?]

“The Poison Eating Sword?”

Her completely unexpected words caused my eyes to widen. I immediately took the Poison Eating Sword from my inventory. Yoo Seonyeong smiled as she grabbed the Poison Eating Sword and made it float in the air.

[There is no time so I’ll just briefly tell you the point. I’m going to lend you some of my strength.]

“......!”

[I can’t go to the human world. It is because Pandora is connected to me. It will run wild and create hell again. This is why Lee Geonmyeong is holding the people hostage. He is trying to prevent me from coming up to the human world.]

“This...”

[However, it is different if you lead the Army of Death.]

“...What?”

Just then, a blue gust of wind blew from the Poison Eating Sword held by Yoo Seonyeong. I raised my hands to block in front of me at the sudden situation. I can barely open my eyes to observe what was happening in front of me. The Poison Eating Sword was growing bigger and bigger. The Poison Eating Sword was growing endlessly by absorbing dark energy, not poison.

The Poison Eating Sword grew. Finally, it exceeded my height and became the size of a car. Nevertheless, the growth of the Poison Eating Sword didn’t stop. One minute passed before it finally stopped growing.

[Hup.]

Yoo Seonyeong frowned and extended her hands toward the sword, releasing an enormous amount of energy. Then the giant sword started to compress again. Sweat was dripping down her forehead. She had obviously overdone it. Yoo Seonyeong stumbled slightly.

“Honey!”

[I’m fine.]

Yoo Seonyeong barely centered herself. After a while, she succeeded in compressing it to a size that could be worn on my back. The Poison Eating Sword was wrapped in a gray film and it felt like a huge black kitchen knife. Finally, the poison Eating Sword slowly floated in front of me. At the same time, Yoo Seonyeong nearly fell down. Fortunately, Alexus was next to her and supported her.

Yoo Seonyeong gasped and told me with a pale face, [Go outside with it and there will be people waiting for you.]
