Chapter 769: I Am the Battle God

Minhyuk looked at Elpis, who collapsed on the ground.

Elpis was once a human being. However, he had been taken away to the Demon World by Great Demon Verus, and turned into a vessel for demonic energy. Despite being only human, he was hailed as the ‘Lesser Demon’ and had become an existence that made the entire Demon World tremble in fear. By chance, Elpis and Minhyuk met and stayed together.

Elpis was definitely a powerful figure. However, there were far more powerful figures in the Beyond the Heavens Kingdom, like Spear God Ben, Brod, God of Snakes Elizabeth, Sword of the Gods Luo, and many more. As the Beyond the Heavens Kingdom grew, the amazing characters that surrounded Minhyuk also began to increase, to the point of overflowing.

Indeed, Elpis was strong. However, as their enemies grew stronger, Minhyuk could tell that Elpis had started to feel impatient. He also wanted to become stronger in order to protect his king.

‘I never expected that the Map to Overcome One’s Limitation would lead him to Great Demon Gorac’s Shelter.’

Minhyuk also found this situation to be very unexpected. However, as it turned out, even after Elpis had reached Great Demon Gorac’s Shelter, he was still unable to take the test.

Through the Vassal’s Voice’s explanation, Minhyuk was able to clearly understand the situation.

[Gorac wants…]

[…the one that Elpis serves to be a more powerful individual. Or Elpis himself will become strong enough to meet the requirements of the test.]

Minhyuk asked the Vassal’s Voice, which provided more information than he thought, ‘Why is Gorac questioning the master that Elpis serves?’

[Gorac wants to become the greatest Great Demon in history.]

[However, he knows that a devil has clear limits.]

Minhyuk understood. What the Vassal’s Voice meant was that even demons needed some ‘connections’ to achieve that goal. Hence, Minhyuk had no choice but to borrow the name of the ‘Battle God.’

Minhyuk had a bitter look on his face as he stared at Elpis, who had fallen on the ground without even being allowed to take the test. He must have been so desperate, trying to go to Gorac over and over again and asking him to allow him to take the test. As a king, Minhyuk just wanted to clear a path for his vassal, Elpis. As expected, Gorac was fussy, difficult, and complicated.

Gorac had actually never met with the Battle God. However, as the eccentric Great Demon, he had a huge network of information at his disposal. It was because of this amazing intelligence network that Great Demon Verus could not do anything against him. Based on the information that he had gathered, the power that Minhyuk was displaying was truly the power of the Battle God. However, something still felt off.

‘He’s not strong.’

Gorac felt like he could suppress the man in front of him. According to his information, the Battle God was a very powerful individual that even Great Demon Verus could not compare to.

Hehe—

Great Demon Gorac’s eyes turned into crescents. “Well, I’m not so sure about that.”

As mentioned before, Great Demon Gorac led Eight Devil Generals. They were different from Great Demon Verus’ 72 Devils, but were as tough and as powerful as them. In fact, each and every single one of them was a powerful figure at the level of a god.

Even so, Minhyuk just stared at Gorac as he continued to show off his arrogance and majesty. As for Gorac, he wanted proof of his power.

[The Sudden Quest: Gorac’s Test has been created!]

[Sudden Quest: Gorac’s Test.]

Rank: SS

Requirements: The one facing Gorac.

Rewards: Gorac’s recognition and additional rewards.

Penalty for Failure: Will not be able to re-enter Gorac’s Shelter.

Description: Gorac is a very sly demon. Even after you introduced(?) yourself as the Battle God, he still suspects your identity. Show off your might and receive Great Demon Gorac’s recognition. If he acknowledges you, then he will admit his disrespectful behavior and will compensate fairly.

The Eight Devil Generals were all outstanding beings in each of their own fields, much like the gods and the 72 Devils were. One of them, General Burrow, had abilities related to assassination. He had the power to burst his enemy’s heart open in one move.

Gorac reckoned that even if the opponent in front of him was the Battle God, if he could not deal with the Devil General, then there was no need for him to join in the fight.

Devil General Burrow immediately reached for Minhyuk’s heart. However, Minhyuk just looked down at him arrogantly, his majestic aura still exuding from his body.

“What are you doing?”

“I will have to test you to know.” Great Demon Gorac laughed horrendously.

Just when General Burrow’s hand was about to reach for Minhyuk’s heart, a man appeared in front of him like a ghost. The man only had his right hand. However, even though he only had one hand left, he was able to easily cut off Devil General Burrow’s hand, and even stabbed the demon all over his body.

Stab, stab, stab, stab, stab. Stab, stab, stab—!

Black blood spurted out of General Burrow’s body. Demon Gorac was stunned to see General Burrow being blown away like that. Then, he saw the one-armed man put his dagger back into its sheath.

“I won’t allow even your fingertips to touch His Majesty’s body.”

This man was Minhyuk’s shadow, Sword of the Gods Luo.

General Burrow looked at the blood that covered his body. The damage was not substantial. However, it was strong enough that he could not just ignore it.

“…”

Gorac frowned. He could clearly tell that the man that appeared in front of him was a god based on his temperament alone. Perhaps this was what Gorac had truly wanted to see. The Battle God was supposedly strong as an individual, but his true power lay in his army. Immediately after that, Gorac triggered his special skill.

[Demonic Eyes.]

[The Demonic Eyes are checking the opponent!]

[This man has inherited the power of the God of Assassination.]

[He is someone that has transcended the limits of a human being!]

“…”

Gorac was shocked. The man that had suddenly appeared in front of him was not a god, but someone that had transcended the limits of a human being. Curious, he turned his eyes toward Minhyuk.

[Demonic Eyes.]

[An unknown yet tremendous power has started to put pressure on the Demonic Eyes!]

Gorac could not check Minhyuk at all. He could not help but tilt his head while wondering who in the world the man in front of him was. Even so, Gorac still thought that this was probably nothing but a trick. He could not get a definite answer just with that single vassal alone.

“I want to do some more checking.”

“How come?”

“I want to make sure that you’re reliable and trustworthy.”

Gorac was a meticulous demon. He had hundreds of thousands of troops in his Demonic Beast Army and his Eight Devil Generals here with him. If Minhyuk was truly the Battle God, then he could easily bring an army that was capable of dealing with this much number.

Minhyuk’s lips twisted into a smirk the moment he saw the Eight Devil Generals make a move at the same time.

“You must be delusional.”

Thud.

Luo immediately stood by Minhyuk’s side the moment he took a step forward.

“Gorac. It’s not up to you to decide whether you will cooperate with me or not.”

“…”

“I’m the one that will decide that.”

“…!”

Gorac’s face turned ugly. The arrogance and confidence that exuded from Minhyuk almost overwhelmed him at that moment.

Crack.

Then, Minhyuk took out an Almond of Subordinates and put it in his mouth.

“Spear God Ben.”

Shwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa—

[Demonic Eyes.]

[The Demonic Eyes are checking the opponent!]

[This man has received the recognition of the Spear God and has transcended the limits of a human being to become this era’s Spear God.]

[He is someone that has won against the previous generation’s Spear God!]

“…Wait.”

Gorac’s breath got caught in his throat. He had to stop the man in front of him. However, Ben’s spear had already stabbed through the bodies of the Devil Generals.

“Keuaaaaaaaack!”

Minhyuk had fought against demons several times in the past. However, it was not just players like him that could grow, NPCs would also obviously grow as well. The most important point here was that the NPCs under Minhyuk’s command had also improved, going from legends to gods. One such example was Spear God Ben.

Crack—

“God of Snakes Elizabeth.”

“N, no. Wait…”

[Demonic Eyes.]

[The Demonic Eyes are checking…]

[She is one of the Six Monster Gods, the God of Snakes Elizabeth!]

[Elizabeth’s Authority.]

[All of the beings recognized as enemies within a three kilometer radius will not be able to use all of their skills and abilities.]

Cold sweat started to drip down Gorac’s forehead.

The Six Monster Gods were beings that even the Absolute Gods feared. However, all Gorac could do was watch as light spread from the tips of the fingers of the little girl and covered the entire shelter and made everyone lose their ability to use their skills.

Gorac hurriedly tried to shout again, “Pau…”

“Awaken, Obren.”

Vwooooooooooooong—

A handsome and dashing black-haired young man appeared from inside a small seasoning jar. Then, with an infinitely cold expression on his face, he looked at the hundreds of thousands of Demonic Beast Army troops and the Devil Generals and spat out, “Get lost.”

The Evil God’s Books appeared after being summoned and released black bolts of lightning from the sky.

[Demonic Eyes.]

[He is the one hailed as the Evil God and is one of the Eight Pillars of this world.]

“…”

Gorac was left speechless. The Evil God was the name of the most vicious and cruel god. And right now, that very entity had descended in this shelter. Not only that, he had easily and swiftly killed 80,000 of the troops of the Demonic Beast Army.

‘One of the Eight Pillars is his vassal? Unbelievable.’

Of course, Gorac was aware that Evil God Obren’s power and body was not complete and had already weakened over time. However, his mere existence could be said to be everyone’s object of fear.

[Gorac has started to acknowledge you.]

[Gorac has started to acknowledge you.]

[Gorac has acknowledged you.]

[Gorac has acknowledged you.]

At this point, Minhyuk knew that Gorac’s acknowledgement and recognition was no longer necessary. However, since the situation had already developed to this point, he decided that it would be better for him to gain the upper hand.

Swooooooooosh—

All of the vassals that he summoned slowly started to scatter in the area. Gorac wondered if the man in front of him had finally decided to stop and talk. However, Minhyuk’s strongest and most powerful vassal had not yet made an appearance. So, he summoned him.

Crack—

“Brod.”

Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang—

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm

Hundreds of sword lights fell down from the sky the moment Brod landed on the ground. Just like that, a thick cloud of dust bloomed as the surviving Demonic Beast Army troops were swept away. Immediately after that, Brod rendered all of the Devil Generals helpless, unable to participate in combat.

Slash, slash, slash, slash, slash, slash—!

The Devil Generals were unable to fight back and could only collapse on the ground from the powerful force that slammed into them.

[Demonic Eyes.]

[The Demonic Eyes are checking…]

[He is the sun acknowledged by the Battle God!]

[He is the Absolute God’s Sword.]

[He…]

[He…]

[He…]

The achievements of the man that appeared rang constantly in Gorac’s ears.

‘The era’s strongest.’

It was almost impossible to describe what the man was. One thing was for sure, everyone would be powerless in front of this man. But not long after, Gorac saw the self-proclaimed Battle God pull out his sword.

Swoooooosh—

A brilliant and blinding light spread all over the place the moment Minhyuk pulled his sword out. After making a splendid achievement, Minhyuk had received three God’s SP from the Battle God. He had also received plenty of rewards for hunting the Evil Incarnate. These were some of the rewards that he obtained.

[The Evil Incarnate’s Fear Skill Parchment.]

He had received two of this parchment. The Fear Skill Parchment was an item that could make a skill grow several levels beyond its MAX level.

‘Fear.’

Indeed. It was literally fear. After all, it also had the effect of bringing the opponent’s fear and terror to its limits once the skill was activated.

[You have used the Evil Incarnate’s Fear Skill Parchment.]

Minhyuk knew that the Great Demon Gorac would definitely be a strong ally if he stood by their side. However, Gorac was eccentric and weird. Even if they were allies, he might still flip the boat and betray him. So, Minhyuk decided, ‘Let’s bring him to his knees.’

[The effects of the Evil Incarnate’s Fear Skill Parchment have been applied to the Overlord’s Technique.]

[The level of the Overlord’s Technique has gone beyond the MAX level.]

Minhyuk pointed the tip of his sword, which shot out black flames, toward Gorac and said, “Gorac, deciding whether to cooperate with me or not has never been up to you.”

Crackleeeeeeee—

Gorac, who saw the raging black flames, felt fear engulf his entire body.

Overlord’s Technique was a skill that could originally deal around 5,000~7,000% additional damage in a 60~80 meter radius. With its current power-up, the damage was unimaginable.

[Overlord’s Technique.]

[You will deal 11,000~13,000% additional damage to a 500 meter radius!]

‘…?’

Minhyuk was quite shocked. The result of the upgrade was something that he had not expected.

‘I only wanted to scare him though… but since things have already developed to this point…’

Crackleeeee—

Minhyuk, who was pointing his sword engulfed with black flames at Gorac, swung it towards the Demonic Beast Army that was stationed behind him.

Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!

The flames that shot out from his sword destroyed all of the Demonic Beast Army troops behind him. But that was not all. Even the shelter, which was in the form of a forest, was burned down and turned into ashes.

Crackleeeee—

Minhyuk turned his back away from the devastation created by the black flames that he sent out and said, “This matter has always been in my hands.”

[A Great Demon is terrified of you.]

[You have obtained the Title: The Only One that the Great Demon Fears.]
