## Chapter 1047 – A Being of Many Questions

I don’t know why these bastards showed up, but I have a rough idea. In the rapidly forming thoughts in my head, I prioritized tasks and immediately took action.

ㅡ콰앙!

I instantly kicked off the ground and charged at the Death Knight in front. First, I’ll take care of these bastards. The next step, I’ll decide after killing all of you, you sons of bitches!

“Karin! Protect Cloudie! Liz-nuna! Let’s clean up these bastards together!!!”

I shouted to them as I charged.

“Okay!”
“I understand!”

Did these bastards just appear after sucking up fumes somewhere? I don’t know. All I can think about now is that there are heretics, including Death Knights, around. If that’s the case, I’ll leave the discharged Cloudie to Karin, and Liztina and I can take care of them together.

ㅡ츠팟!

Red light blazed from the gaps in the helmet.

As the guy unleashed dark sword energy, the other fourteen Death Knights behind him also immediately unleashed their sword energy and advanced as if to form a battle formation.

In the past, I would have been wary knowing that their combat power was similar to mine.

“But not anymore.”

ㅡ화르르륵!!

As the Sword Flame of the Workshop unfolded, I could hear the screams of Korean-American merchants in LA in my ears. Black. The Death Knights were all black. It was the color that Korean merchants, who had been robbed of all their wealth and livelihoods by evil, human trash, black looters, hated the most.

“Krrr!!!”

The Death Knight, bursting with violence, kicked off the ground with a very natural motion and tried to attack me. It was a technique that only someone who had reached a considerable level could display.

It certainly didn’t look like the movement of a bastard who had died and been resurrected.

ㅡDifferent movements from the Death Knight back then.

The Death Knight back then was unstable.
But has he compensated for some of the shortcomings now?

Of course.

It doesn’t matter.

ㅡ츠즛!

Dark sword energy scattered, leaving a trail as it flew. It was a speed that could be called transcendental, but.

“You’re a nobody.”

I, very honestly.
Swung Vugal horizontally at him.

ㅡ스겅!

The superhuman strength that shot out the sword happened in an instant, and I almost cut through space and slashed the guy’s sword. I cut the Death Knight’s sword, which was swirling with dark sword energy, in two.

And with the sword still cutting through his sword, I swung the sword horizontally once more.

ㅡ촤학!

I cut the Death Knight’s upper body and lower body, starting from his solar plexus, along with both arms.

“How dare you act up.”

ㅡ콰앙!

As soon as I cut the guy, I kicked the upper body that was just about to fall in the air, powerfully kicking it and shooting it out.

ㅡ투쾅!!!

The upper body, flying like a bullet, was embedded in the chest of the Death Knight right behind him.

ㅡ우당탕!

The Death Knight behind, unable to withstand the impact, conceived a new life, no, death, in his chest, and rolled across the ground as he flew backward.

ㅡ스릉!
ㅡ촤하아아악!!

At the same time, four other Death Knights threw themselves at me like panthers. Wearing dark armor and draped in dark aura, they were exuding an aura like grim reapers, but.

They were still no match for me.

“I know I can’t interrogate you bastards anyway.”

ㅡ콰앙!

Kicking off the ground, I instantly rotated my body with that immense power, scattering blades in all directions.

“Die, all of you, you reverse-heaven assholes who have returned from death.”

ㅡ푸확!!

The whirlwind of swords that raged in an instant cut through the Death Knights and passed by. With that, the Death Knights who were attacking were all brutally cut in the air, spurting black blood and falling in two pieces.

ㅡ후두둑.

“This Kim Kat will break your morale!”

Crazy nobodies.

“Kurk…!”
“Kakh!”

These bastards can’t be my rivals.

“An-dromalius!!!!”

I checked the sky and shouted.

His soul had already soared to a high place. Is he ascending? Am I going to lose the soul of the Great Demon like this? But that wasn’t it. His black soul mass suddenly began to fly like an arrow towards the direction where the Death Knights had appeared.

ㅡ슈욱!

The sudden appearance of the Death Knights and the strange reaction of Andromalius’s soul. I made a decision faster than thinking, and shouted loudly while kicking the ground intensely.

“Liz-nuna! Clean up everything here and follow me!!! Karin, keep watching Cloudie!!!”

Looking at it, except for the four Death Knights, everything else was already being smashed to pieces by Karin and Liztina. But there might be more, so I asked Karin to protect Cloudie and Liztina to clean up.

Now, let’s focus on my work.

I can’t let the soul of Andromalius be taken away, no matter what Death Knights or anything else! I will never allow such a thing…! My things must be only mine! Do you think I’ll let another bastard steal it!

“You black bastards can never beat me!!!!”

Charging with the Sword Flame unfolded.

ㅡ쐐애애애애애액!!!

The two Death Knights who were trying to block my advance.

ㅡ퍼벙!
ㅡ푸화아아악!!!

I pierced through them.

Those things were just weak obstacles in my path. I destroyed everything in my path with the simple power of collision. The two Death Knights were shattered without even using their hands once, scattering blood and flying pieces of flesh.

Like deer hit by a super-fast Doodonban.

“Kieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek!!!!”

Leaving the crushed Death Knights behind, I sprinted.

ㅡ쿠콰카카카카카캉!!!

A forest filled with black energy.

The surroundings had already been completely devastated by the apocalyptic battle with the wide-area Great Demon Andromalius, leaving only a hole-filled clearing, but the area outside that range was relatively intact.

The Death Knights. So these heretic groups were hiding like dead mice in this intact place and, as soon as the situation ended, kicked off the ground and came out?

That seems to be how they appeared.

But this place is inside the fucking encirclement, and there are quite a few knights patrolling. The knights may seem a bit incompetent these days, but they are also natural serial killers and pursuers of murder.

How? How did they get inside here and hide safely? Above all, they seemed to have sensed not only the location of Andromalius but even “death” and rushed over.

Of course.

What’s important now is not that, but the soul of Andromalius, which is flying faster and faster.

“Andromalius!!!! Where are you trying to go!!!!!!”

It was a movement like a sperm finding an egg.

It seemed as if the soul, which was all that was left, was flying with a specific destination in mind, as if it had some kind of will… What could be at the other end? What is there that is guiding the soul of that Great Demon?

ㅡ쿠웅!

Not long after.

I arrived at the epicenter.

“These, these crazy bastards!!!”

The place where Andromalius’s soul was heading.
What was there was.

“Krrr…!”
“Kkeureureureureuk!!!”
“Eueo…!!”

A horde of heretics and undead.

Not only that.

ㅡ지이이이잉…!

Behind them, there was an unknown dimensional gate burning with alternating black and purple colors.

The inside was also of such mysterious colors that it was impossible to know where it led, but in front of that large gate, which was over 4m wide and high, stood white-skinned heretics with familiar tattoos all over their faces, wearing robes, and in front of them, a group of about fifty ghouls were positioned.

Following that.

“What the hell is that.”

Right in front of the gate.

There was a kind of bizarre machine device with wheels, standing majestically.

It was a bit bigger than an adult male, about the size of a Damas, with bizarre pipes and numerous jewels emitting unknown light, and it was an ominous monstrosity that felt more like the product of some evil experiment than science.

The heretics were gathered on both sides as if trying to operate the machine.

“Krrr…!”
“Hoo… Hoo…”
“Kkeueueueuk…!”

In front of them.

More than thirty Death Knights were standing guard.

ㅡA horde of undead.

Death Knights and a group of ghouls. And a strange machine device and heretics. Finally, even the large gate behind them.

“…These bastards were using a gate.”

That’s why they suddenly appeared.

It seems that it’s not a gate connected to Pandemonium, but a gate connected to their headquarters or some base.

They poured resources to open the gate in order to carry out some kind of purpose, and sent the gathered troops here. Is the purpose to move that machine? Whatever it is, even decent wizards can’t open such a gate. It must be something that Lich sent.

ㅡ지잉!

At that moment, a kind of beam was emitted from the machine, and it struck the soul of Andromalius, which was hovering in the air.

ㅡ차라락.

Soon, strands of darkness stretched out from the beam, grabbed the soul of the Great Demon, and began to pull it in like a fishing line. Slowly. At a very slow pace.

“I see. I don’t know what it is, but are you thinking of binding the soul of the Great Demon with that machine?”

That machine seemed to be a device that absorbed or stored the power of the soul possessed by the Great Demon. I roughly understand. Their purpose must have been this.

“I won’t let that happen.”

Anger surges.

How dare those fucking, asshole, heretic sons of bitches try to take the money after Kim Kat did all the work? Are you trying to do that in front of me now? Do you think that kind of bullshit, like pulling out pubic hair and making noodles, will work?

They didn’t seem to know what it meant to touch my things.

If so.

I’ll have to let them know.

ㅡ푸화아아아아아아악!!!

Exploding aura to envelop my whole body, and unfolding Sword Flame again to wrap around the blade of Vugal.

ㅡ파킨.

“You’re all going to die here!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

Thirty Death Knights.
And more than fifty ghouls and heretics.

ㅡ끼에에에에에에에에에에에에엨!!!

Shouting.
I kicked off the ground and shot my body towards that place.

“Kuaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!”

At the same time, a guy who seemed to be a high-ranking heretic holding a staff shouted loudly. It seemed to be a kind of order. The Death Knights and ghouls, reacting to that sound, began to overwhelm me all at once like a tsunami.

I charged towards that place.

ㅡ투콰아아아아아아앙!!!

And pierced straight through the front.

ㅡ촤자자자자작!!!

Drawing a line of death with the sword, and then stabbing, twisting, cutting, and scattering while raising my gaze, slaughtering everything that attacks me…!

“Kuoaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!”

These bastards couldn’t withstand my Sword Flame!!! The Death Knights had become stronger than before, and the ghouls had also been strengthened in some way, making them extremely strong, but still, they were not beings that I couldn’t cut down.

“Kwiieeeeeeeek!!”
“Krrrreureureu!!”
“Guwoeeeeeeeeee!!!”

Battle.

More battle.

The guys threw their bodies as if trying to protect the machine and the gate, the machine was trying to absorb the soul of the Great Demon, and the gate was swirling unstably in order to immediately move the machine to the main base once it completed the absorption of the Great Demon’s soul.

“Dejaaaaaaaaaaaaaat!!!”

In the situation where dozens of undead were rushing in, I shouted and cut down everything.

ㅡ파파팟.

If I couldn’t find an angle to swing the sword, I used the Workshop Hand-to-Hand Combat.

ㅡ붕쯔붕쯔.

Creating space with the Workshop Hand-to-Hand Combat and then swinging the sword again.

ㅡ쿠이쿠이.

In that way, I pierced through the horde of undead who were mechanically burning their bodies only following orders, and scolded the heretics who were trying to capture the soul of Andromalius by operating the machine.

“Give me back my things, you heretic bastards!!!!”

ㅡ투쾅.

At the same time as slaughtering dozens of Death Knights and ghouls, my feet touched the ground, and I shot my body out and charged towards the machine.

“Daoc…!”
“Krrrreureu!!”
“Shaaaaaaaaaaa!!!”

The faces of the heretics, who seemed flustered, turned pale. They originally had white skin and were covered in black tattoos, but those guys were still alive, so they were able to express emotions.

ㅡ스윽!

The guys hurriedly took out their wands.

“How dare you, you bastard!!!”

There was no way that would work.

ㅡ뻐걱!

“Kheueoeoeok!!!”

I landed next to the machine while exploding the heretic at the front with a dropkick. I can kill all the other undead bastards, but I’ll leave this machine and the heretics.
