Demon God Lerajie.
He was currently in command of over two million devils and he was trying to find a way to take down Gremory.
He who wore the green armour and helmet with a horn, had the typical appearance of a hunter.


However, he was big enough to reach 50m and he also had a sword and a bow that was suitable for his figure.

The ‘interval’ had become shorter.

A wide plain.
2 million devils gathered around the circular shaped hole.
Among them, a demon king had approached and spoke to Lerajie as if he was whispering.
Lerajie lowered his head and then rubbed his chin.

Gremory… you are making a last frantic attempt.

He shifted his gaze and looked at the fallen ground.
The sunken ground, it was the place that was linked to Gremory’s fissure.
However, unless it was opened by someone from Gremory’s side, it was hard to infiltrate it.


If he could locate the fissure, the story would change.
‘The gate that leads to the fissure is continuously changing.’
If he could predict and locate the fissure outside and link it to another fissure, he would be able to infiltrate easily.
But, Gremory had figured it out.
She had changed the ‘gate’ before the fissures could link.
To be exact, you could say she had changed the lock on the gate.
‘An enormous amount of magical energy would have been used. It is like a suicide.’
Of course, it was a way to buy time, but that was all.
As time passed, she wouldn’t be able to withstand the vast magical power.
Even if you were a demon god, you didn’t have infinite magical powers.


Someday, she would reach her limit and, in the end, the only destruction would be left.
Even more, to have the gate changed more frequently.
Lerajie. As long as he was guarding the surroundings, she couldn’t escape.
In the end, it was to stall time…

This isn’t fun.

He was the demon god of the battlefield. He enjoyed wars and has not lost once. But, it didn’t mean he wanted this sort of victory either.
He existed to fight, and fight, and fight some more.
He didn’t feel like he was winning just by guarding the surrounding and acting as a watchman.
His body ached to fight.
Only demon gods could face a demon god.


In that sense, he believed the one who was acting as the leader of the opposing party, Gremory, would be a good opponent.
It was a disappointment and that was why Lerajie was angry.

Diablo, where is he hiding? I could be less bored if he, who burned and killed Haures, showed up.

Lerajie touched the bow on his back.
He was the demon god of the battlefield and also a dragon hunter.
Few hundreds of dragons were killed by his bow. As Diablo also had the form of a dragon, if he could kill it, it would become the best ornament.
Diablo, the one who killed Haures, the demon god of fire, with his flames.
If he could hunt it down and hang him on his castle, his status would be higher than any demon god.
The demon kings answered Lerajie.

We are continuing our search but… we can’t even find his trace. From the beginning, it is also suspicious that Diablo had passed ‘Sky Lord’ and came to this place.




But, Haures had been killed at this place. By Diablo! Surely Gremory found out how to summon Diablo. Or else, it could be due to someone else’s ‘intervention’.

Diablo.
He was a demon god from another dimension. At least he didn’t fit in this ‘world’.
He was heterogeneous, foreign, and something from outside that shouldn’t exist.
And so, they created the Sky Lord and placed it there. They made him protect the border. Only to stop Diablo from entering.
At least… until they could eradicate the internal commotion and the opposing party.
But, he had destroyed Haures who had appeared at this place. How?
It was definitely due to the ‘intervention’ of Gremory or something else.
Intervention. There was another third party. He had heard so.
‘I’ll prove to you that your fire does not work on me.’
However, he didn’t care.
Lerajie gained more interest.
If he were to appear, he would hunt him and make him into a souvenir.
If someone else were to interfere, he would get rid of it. Lerajie was completely focused on Diablo.
More than Gremory who was hiding.
Diablo was worth that much.
‘An outsider had entered. It also means we, who are inside, can also go out.’
That was right.
Diablo was a kind of proof.
Although he wasn’t certain how he had entered, it was important that he had entered the Underworld from his world.
In other words, there was surely a pathway that connected to the outside!
‘I can be free from Solomon’s curse.’
Lerajie clenched his teeth.
Diablo was a start.
Lerajie was planning to be the start.

Find it. I don’t care what it is. Find a way to call Diablo.


I’ll do my best. Also…


Do you have more to say?


Far from this place, I found ‘trace’ of a large-scale army.

Lerajie frowned.

Trace you say? From a distance where I can’t detect?


That is so. They were situated slightly further than you can detect. I think hundreds of thousands of soldiers were waiting there.

Lerajie crossed his eyes.
Lerajie had the eyes that allowed him to detect objects that were 100 km away.
The distance where he could just sense things were double that.
But, if he wasn’t able to notice it, it meant that the army existed farther than 200km.
While completely erasing the trace.
Lerajie, the Demon God of the Battlefield, always was on high alert. But, the fact that he couldn’t detect them, it meant that they were quite an army.

They were there? Are you saying they are no longer there?


Yes, we are currently following their trace.

Lerajie frowned.
Was a demon god from the opposing party?
However, there was no way the opposing party would roam this place as they pleased.
There were very few demon gods who knew about the range he was able to detect the presence of.
Although they could be part of a demon god’s army under Gremory’s command, this order was specifically given by Baal.
Was there a demon god who would go against Baal’s order and be his enemy?
He doubted.
Unless it was Paimon who Lerajie couldn’t tell what he was thinking.
And he was already keeping an eye on Paimon.
A third party who wasn’t part of the agreeing or the opposing party.
They seemed to have come to find out about something and returned.
‘They said there was intervention from outside.’
Maybe they were directly associated.
Gremory and Diablo, and the third party.
To be exact, if they were already aware of Lerajie, it would be quite interesting for him.
They could also be associated with Diablo.
‘They left a trace. Are they stupid, confident, or…’
It was also important to know if they left a trace on purpose or by accident.
However, Lerajie wasn’t worried.
He was the Demon God of the Battlefield and a veteran who had never lost.
He had never lost an opponent he had his eyes on.

Organize a track team and chase them. You should never lose them.


Yes.

The demon king bowed down to show respect.
Lerajie once again touched his bow.
‘I hope he is worth being shot at with this bow.’
The opinions of the demon gods were divided.
The agreeing party, those who want to get rid of all humanity and all different species and create a new world to become a true divinity, and the opposing party who were against it.
And the leader of the opposing party was Gremory.

Oh Gremory, you wouldn’t withstand like this.

Gremory’s face was gaunt.
She was still incredibly beautiful and pure, but she couldn’t maintain her usual appearance in a situation where her magical powers were draining.

But I still need to do it.


Even if you slow down a bit, they wouldn’t dare to enter. It isn’t like even Baal himself could manage the fissure himself.’

You can’t look down on Lerajie. He is among the top demon gods who can interpret magic.

Gremory sat on the chair made of stone and held two beads in her hand.
The beads continued to suck magical powers and change the fissure.
In front of her, a huge dimensional portal was making a static noise.

But, like this…

Unlike the other servants who followed other demon gods, those who followed Gremory were very close. They served and loved her as a true god.
Gremory also knew of this but she couldn’t back away.

It would only last for a few months.’
The speed was too fast.
It was proceeding at least ten years faster than she had expected.
They thought they would act after they found the miracle written book, ‘Ars Nova’ but…
They were actively acting as soon as Diablo appeared, even though they couldn’t find Ars Nova.
‘Rather the appearance of Diablo is making them act faster.’
Diablo did not appear in this world due to Ars Nova.
After having something activated, he appeared after ripping through another world’s wall.
Diablo was like an enemy to the other demon gods but at the same time, he was hope.
A way to escape this world.
And so, Gremory was barely hanging on.
As the agreeing party need to get rid of the opposing party for them to roam freely, they had to first get rid of Gremory, the leader, which made sense.

…what do you think about borrowing his strength once more?


You mean, him?

Gremory’s voice shook a little.
Even a bit of fear was mixed in.
It meant that he was that much harder to talk about.
Of course, they had won over  the danger of Haures with his help.
However, Gremory’s luck was almost running out. If they were to rely on his strength again, they would lose everything.

He wouldn’t help us.

On top, he had disappeared after swallowing Haures up.
Even if they were to seek his help, they were in a situation where they couldn’t.
The surrounding demons’ face hardened. They were also feeling it. The being on the outside, that Lerajie was waiting to kill them.
The Demon God of the Battlefield. An outstanding being who had never been defeated in battle!
Their compatibility was horrible. If the gate were to open and they were to have a face to face combat, her odds would be very close to 0.
Not a lot of time was left before the sword touched her throat.
Was only destruction left?
Gremory knew very well of this truth.
However, there was no way, truly.
Gremory’s prediction was off and she was unable to read the quickly changing situation.
As she was surrounded before she could gather the opposing party.
Zzzzzzzzzz-

At that moment, the fissure shook.
It meant that the enemies found the ‘gate’.
She needed to change it again. In an instant, vase amount of magical power was drained out of Gremory and she looked pale.
The demons looked at Gremory with sad eyes.
And then spoke with a determined look.

If the situation arrives, we the 26 demon kings and our army will do our best to protect you.

The demon kings and devils showed their determination.
Behind them, millions of devils kneeled.
However, they didn’t know. That they were forgetting someone.
From the outside… the 27th demon king started to act.
Muyoung.
The name of the person who would create a fresh breeze and a storm.
