Chapter 346: Rule Breaker (4)

It was at that moment when the 4th ranked Owl Great Lord Amon, faced with that shocking situation, urgently spread his wings to detour into the air.

"Kuhaha! Amon! Where are you running off to! Today will be different!"

"Be quiet. It's annoying to hide and go in."

Vulcan and Olivia blocked Amon's path like a thunderbolt.

[Scorching Hell of the Black Flame Monarch (SSS)] and [Blood-red Banquet with Erased Trajectories (SSS)] were deployed in succession.

Pitch-black pillars of black flame burning everywhere surged up, and blood-red shadow blades erasing vision ran rampant, perfectly binding Amon's limbs.

All that remained were the Demon Realm's 3rd rank (formerly 1st) Baal, and the 2nd rank by a stroke of luck, Paimon.

Seeing the Great Lords thoroughly tied down by mere summons, Baal flew into a rage.

"Kim Minwoooooo!" 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

It was the moment Baal was about to cast magic of destruction with his remaining head.

―Where do you think you're going.

Merhen, who was guarding Kim Minwoo's side, lightly opened her parasol and executed a turn.

[Merhen uses the authority, Heavenly Word!]

[The target Baal's mana is significantly sealed!]

[The unique domain White Night of the Fallen Angel (SSS) forcibly freezes even Baal's remaining circuits!]

"Keu, keuheok……! M-my mana……!"

Due to the overwhelming magic blocking combo, the destruction magic lingering in Baal's mouth vainly scattered like melting snow.

That perfect opening.

Kim Minwoo walked across the middle of the battlefield very leisurely, where the abnormal domains created by the four disasters were choking the breaths of the Great Lords.

Ttubeok. Ttubeok.

With Hell Rhapsody resting casually on his shoulder, he arrived right in front of Baal's nose, who was appalled with bloodshot eyes.

"Now, then. Shall we finish the conversation we were having?"

Seogeok―!

"Keuaaaaak!"

With a slash drawn ignoring defense and the like, Baal's knee joints and remaining arms were mercilessly sliced off.

Blood poured ceaselessly from the wounds of Baal, whose regenerative power had been extorted.

The strongest lord of the Demon Realm, with his limbs amputated, rolled around like a hideous bug beneath Kim Minwoo's feet.

"……."

The face of the 2nd ranked Paimon, who was watching that entire sight, turned as pale as a blank sheet of paper.

The 300,000-strong army they boasted of was being eaten by Kim Minwoo's curses and undead resurrection, self-destructing, and Marbas and Amon, who were of the same class as them, were struggling, their feet tied by mere summons.

Even Baal, who was called the strongest in the Demon Realm, was turning into a bloody pulp without being able to flick a single finger against the combined attack of Kim Minwoo and the silver-haired witch.

‘This is…… a battle that absolutely cannot be won.’

The conclusion of the opportunist Paimon, whose brain worked exceptionally fast, was quick.

Chaenggeurang!

Paimon threw the weapon he was holding to the ground and lay flat on his face toward Kim Minwoo.

"K-Kim Minwoo! I surrender! I will surrender!"

"……Huh?"

At Paimon's sudden action, Kim Minwoo stopped his sword and turned his head.

"P-please, please just spare my life! I hold no grudge against you! I was merely dragged out because Baal and the other Great Lords were being unreasonable!"

"……Paimon!!!"

Baal vomited blood and spewed curses, but Paimon did not care and smashed his forehead into the ground.

"If you just spare me, this 2nd ranked Paimon! I will become your and Lord Vulcan's dog for the rest of my life and offer you my territory……!"

At that desperate begging for his life, Kim Minwoo scratched his chin.

Certainly, having a 2nd rank-class Great Lord as a subordinate would have many benefits.

However…….

"What to do?"

Kim Minwoo swept up his chillingly curving lips and approached right in front of Paimon's nose.

"My kids say they are still hungry."

"……Excuse me?"

Paimon's pupils tore open. To kneel and even smash his forehead, only for the returning answer to be this. His lips trembled, but before he could even spit out an excuse, Kim Minwoo's wrist moved.

Seogeok―!

Paimon's excuse ended with that.

The neck of the opportunist Paimon, who had taken the 2nd place by a stroke of luck and tried to suck the sweet honey, vainly flew into the empty air.

"It's your share. Eat it without leaving any behind."

As soon as Kim Minwoo's permission dropped, Paimon's massive soul floated into the empty air. Kim Minwoo scratched his chin and scanned its color.

"Melody and hallucination, cunning deceit. Even at a glance, it's an option perfectly suited for an assassin hiding in blood and shadows. Olivia, you eat the whole thing."

"An excellent choice, Necromancer."

Olivia's red lips drew a mesmerizing arc. Her shadow surged like a snake and swallowed Paimon's soul in a single breath.

[Devouring the soul of a higher existence!]

[The status of Legion Commander Olivia increases!]

[With Paimon's cunning spiritual power added, the trajectory of the Blood-red Banquet becomes even more bizarre and stealthy!]

"Master! Then is there no share for me!"

Vulcan, having his soul snatched right before his eyes, jumped up and down and spewed out his complaints.

"Kill your temper a bit. There's still meat laid out all over the buffet."

Kim Minwoo pointed at the 4th ranked Amon and 5th ranked Marbas, who were frozen stiff far away, with the tip of Hell Rhapsody.

"Since Marbas is a beast, Cedric, you who are the peak of hand-to-hand combat, eat him."

―Understood, Master.

"And that overgrown owl Amon over there. That bird-brained bastard flying around craftily in the air and sticking feathers in, it's a perfect matchup to just burn him down along with the sky and make him fall. Vulcan, that guy is yours."

"Kuhaha! Excellent! I will roast him thoroughly from his wings to the marrow of his bones!"

As their shares of the highest-grade souls were designated, Cedric's blood-red eye glints and Vulcan's black flames blazed like crazy.

At that time, there was a hand secretly tugging at Kim Minwoo's collar.

―Minwoo, then what about me…….? Are you not giving one only to me…….?

Merhen looked up at Kim Minwoo with sullen eyes while holding her parasol. An expression looking as if tears would form in her eyes at any moment.

Kim Minwoo chuckled and stroked her silver hair.

"Don't feel sad. In a course meal, the most delicious main dish always comes out at the very end. That Baal lying face down over there has to be used as a blood-drawing machine so I can't feed you his soul, but……. Just going to District 1, aren't the souls of the Seven Lords scattered all over? I'll catch the biggest and most delicious one for you."

―Really? Is that a promise?

"Of course."

A bright look returned to Merhen's face.

The momentum of the Legion Commanders, whose motivation was finished, was truly explosive.

"It's my soul! Do not run away!"

―Prove your strength, Lion Great Lord!

Vulcan's flame whip and Cedric's blood-red spear rushed toward Amon and Marbas like thunderbolts.

Olivia, who had grown stronger after eating a soul, also left behind bizarre afterimages and dug into Amon's blind spot.

"Th-these bug-like summon bastards……!"

"Just what do you see us as!"

The survival instincts of the cornered Great Lords exploded.

Kuaaaang―!

Marbas transformed into his true form, a massive golden lion, and crushed the earth while striking away Cedric's spear with his front paw.

Amon also transformed into a bizarre owl with an old man's face over 20 meters large, and shot out feathers like a rainstorm, blocking Vulcan and Olivia's approach.

The desperate struggle of the stagnant waters who had ruled for thousands of years.

As the two Great Lords who revealed their true forms poured out their mana while risking their lives, the overwhelmingly dominant offensive of the Legion Commanders also began to slow down slightly.

"Keuaak! This rat-like bitch!"

Amon's beak tore apart Olivia's clone, and Cedric was pushed back by Marbas's roar. One step, two steps. A long drag mark gouged into the earth split beneath Cedric's feet.

"I guess a Great Lord is still a Great Lord even if they've rotted, huh."

Kim Minwoo leisurely watched that fierce clash as if chewing popcorn, with Hell Rhapsody resting on his shoulder.

Admiring the summons fighting from behind, wouldn't that be the true taste of a Necromancer.

However, dragging out the time like this would only become annoying.

Pitch-black darkness exploded from beneath Kim Minwoo's feet.

[Using skill, Descent (EX)!]

"Wh-what……!"

In the middle of the battlefield where they were fighting bloodily with the Great Lords.

The absolute pressure of death, forcing all existences with life to instinctively lie flat, poured down.

"Th-this power is……!"

"Marbas! Dodge!"

The appalled Amon shouted, but it was already too late.

Kim Minwoo, wrapped in the power of Descent, dug under Marbas's chin before anyone knew it.

Cedric and Gleipnir ghost-like caught his movements.

"You held out quite well against the Legion Commanders, though."

The moment Kim Minwoo's chilling voice touched his ears.

Seogeok―!

The 5th ranked Marbas's massive lion head flew into the empty air far too vainly.

"Marbas!!!"

Amon, appalled, tried to pour highly toxic feathers toward Kim Minwoo.

However…….

"Where are you looking away?"

Olivia's claws, having popped out from the shadow before anyone knew it, tore Amon's vision, and Vulcan's black flame whip tied up his wings tightly.

And Kim Minwoo's Hell Rhapsody, soaring up like a thunderbolt, plunged toward the middle of his forehead.

Kwajik―!

"Keu, aaak……!"

[You have defeated the 5th ranked Great Lord of the Demon Realm, Marbas!]

[You have defeated the 4th ranked Great Lord of the Demon Realm, Amon!]

The two Great Lords of the Demon Realm who had ruled for thousands of years were perfectly butchered in less than a minute.

Kim Minwoo, who landed in the middle of the battlefield reeking of blood, shook off the blood-stained demonic sword and smiled chillingly.

"Now, it's mealtime. Cedric, Vulcan. Eat it all without leaving anything behind."

―I will.

"Kuhaha! I will eat well!"

Cedric and Vulcan began to ravenously chew and swallow the souls of the fallen Great Lords.

And in the middle of that hellish massacre, the pupils of Baal, who was lying flat on his face bleeding from beneath his feet with his limbs cut off, were widened as if they would tear from fear.

"Then…… shall we go to a quiet place and have a chat?"

Seeing Baal, Kim Minwoo smiled beamingly.
