Stop the demon summoning ritual. (Ongoing)The initial posting of this chapter occurred via Ñøv€l-B!n.

Defeat the Demon Corps Leader. (0/10)

You have completed your research.

A new quest objective emerged.

As I look at it, its starting to make sense.

There was a reason I was so desperate to stop them.

To successfully complete the Demon Summoning Ritual.

The demon army was desperately blocking my way.

Now that I knew that, I understood why the demon army had rushed forward.

They hadnt expected their defenses to collapse so quickly.

Is there any way to evacuate the survivors quickly?

Harkon asked the Shadow Mercenaries.

I dont know.

Well?

So there is, or there isnt.

Kichi broke off from his thoughts and made eye contact with me.

He frowned, and then called someone urgently.

Alkari. I need a portal, I needs a f*cking portal. Hmph.

It was Alkari, the old man offering me a potion.

If he could manifest a portal, he must be a mage class.

You seem to have a lot of skill in potion making.

The more things I can use, the better.

A little conversation wouldnt hurt.

I didnt come forward because you were here, but if you need my help.

Alkari looked at me, drawing on her magic.

I didnt step in because you were here, by the way.

Youve clearly misunderstood.

Of course, I can manifest.

Even if its not as powerful as the portal in the tower.

I could manifest a portal, too.

No matter how much higher magic it is.

Just a moment of seeing.

I had Grandfells gift of realizing the process of exploration, interference, and manifestation.

With the right magic, manifesting a portal was not a difficult task.

But.

I must save my mana.

In the battle with the demon army just now.

I used up quite a bit of magic.

Who knew?

That there would be so many survivors, so few.

Thank you. Knights.

No. Were not in a position to be greeted.

Thank you again. Adventurers?

I looked at the girl who bowed to me.

Please, be humble.

Dont take my gratitude for granted.

I barely nodded my stiff head.

Everyone else fought against the demon.

The survivors in hiding were all old and weak.

Unable to fight properly.

Well need to get them to safety quickly.

But we dont need to add to the confusion.

The survivors hadnt yet realized theyd landed on another world.

The survivors hadnt realized it yet.

Somewhere safe and familiar.

Needless to say, there was only one place.

Ill set the coordinates to the Yusra Kingdom.

Alkari summoned a portal with a glance.

The distance between the coordinates and the number of users of the portal were quite large.

It was taking a lot of magic.

Alkari drank the potion like water.

Harkon instructed several knights, including Yessica.

You will join us once the survivors have stabilized.

The movement of the survivors was swift.

I wonder if this too is measured in contributions.

I checked the glowing quest window.

Current Contribution: 32,700p

That was a huge jump.

Harkon spoke to me.

My lord, I dont know what you think. I think we need to band together quickly and rescue the other survivors. Theres no way theyll stay this long.

Im thinking the same thing.

Oh no, I didnt say anything to my lord.

I knew that doing good would bring me credit.

I didnt have the slightest reason to object.

Of course, before you do that, youll need to quickly tie up.

So youll have to finish slaying the demon.

Demon summoning ritual.

I searched my memory.

The words of the Akshan demon hunters flashed through my mind.

But nothing particularly helpful came to mind.

I dont know if its just a demon, but a king.

That was over a decade and two years ago.

Different times.

But one thing was certain.

Every ritual requires a sacrifice.

Just as the [demon exorcism ritual] requires a demonic item.

Obviously, the demon summoning ritual would also require a sacrifice.

Wait.

As I thought that, I suddenly realized.

The streets looked different.

The streets were filled with blood and corpses.

I turned around and looked at the carnage once more.

It was a line of blood and bodies.

!

That straight line led to the center of Frost.

No way, these bodies and blood are sacrifices.

I stopped thinking about it.

How far have we come?

Smoke rises from the Frost.

It was hard to get a good shot of Ho-yeol as he entered the Frost.

Even the VBC footage of Ho-yeols every move showed nothing but smoke.

Yoon shrugged.

I dont know. I dont know.

Just in case it helps a little.

We can only do what we can.

Yoon Soo-gyeom said, then continued.

Lets keep watching. Youve got AAU prestige, shouldnt you at least find out the identity of the demon king, how long can you listen to the salary lupin?

Still, if its Lee Ho-yeol, he should have won at least five thousand points ah, is five thousand too much, even if its just three thousand points?

Uh-huh. Is this the time to think about such things?

*

If my guess is right.

As much as a steeply rising contribution.

Current contribution: 50,900p

It meant that the demon summoning ritual would be disrupted.

Of course, it didnt take long for my guess to be confirmed.

Something big is flying over, and its really annoying.

Well, thats a nuisance.

Not the Shadow Mercenaries, anyway.

A group known for their skill, if not their personalities.

He couldnt be wrong.

By the way.

flying?

I laughed inwardly.

Yeah, youre gonna get your ass kicked, arent you?

Not so much running as flying.

Im guessing his demon summoning ritual was interrupted and hes burning sh*t.

Well, thats worth the effort.

Thats what Im thinking..

What the hell, that.

I thought you meant it was actually flying, not a metaphor!

Flapping!

The sound of flapping wings.

At the same time, the acrid smoke of the frost cleared.

It was a giant bird.

If there was a bird in hell, I wondered if it looked like that.

It was enough to give me an aviophobia I didnt have before.

Its red pupils stared at me.

I could feel it in my gut.

That giant bird was the Demon Corps Leader.

Stop the demon summoning ritual. (Ongoing)

Defeat the Demon Corps Leader. (0/10)

The flashing quest window proves it.

So, Im supposed to kill 10 of them?

I wasnt the only one who noticed.

Everyone was waiting for the Demon Legion Leader to show up.

Harkon was there.

Your Majesty, I will fulfill the mission.

Gooooo

Harkons sword began to emit sword energy.

Harkons sword glowed with a light that had never been seen before.

Sword energy.

Its said that it grows stronger as it grows and takes on a unique glow.

Youve reached that level.

Grandfells gift.

Thanks to him, I was able to keep track of Harkons growth.

So, naturally, I felt relieved.

My comrade-in-arms is that strong.

Of course, the Hell Demon Corps leader was flying in the sky.

Hes probably waiting for an opportunity to come down.

But I had no intention of waiting.

I may not be able to give him wings.

I can make the stairs work for him.

But first, I needed to limit his movement.

I cranked up the power.

Just the right magic to break those wings.

But also one that would conserve as much energy as possible.

I was selecting a spell.

Kurrrr-!

I heard a muffled sound.

At the same time, the sky darkened for a moment.

The flow of air changed.

Dark clouds gathered.

.

A crackling electricity crackled in the darkness.

This was a magic I had seen before.

No, more accurately, it was a [skill].

I opened my mouth to speak.

Jesse Hynes.

As if in response.

A [Heavenly Punishment] struck the Demon Legion leader.

It landed on his head.

Jijijijijij-!

The power of the blow was different from Count Ascuras.

It was as if he had a grudge against the Demon Corps Leader.

It didnt even take into account the amount of magic it consumed.

It was an emotional and wild manifestation.

I shamelessly made an evaluation of the skill.

You still have a lot to work on.

Im not lacking anything.

Its my level thats lacking.

So I didnt hesitate.

I have to do something!

So I can pick up some food, even if its just beans.

I immediately manifested the stairs.

My lord. I will return to fulfill your Majestys mission.

Soon, Harkon stepped on the stairs and flew into the sky.
