## Chapter 1062 – Ancient Beings

A rectangular space.

It was entirely empty, but something was placed right in the center. I maximized my vigilance, gripped Buer in my hand, and walked towards it.

ㅡIf anything pops out, it’s dead.

Along with the wariness, endless murderous intent surged.

No joke, whatever’s in a place like this can’t be a normal object.

It’s probably even more surprising, terrifying, inhuman, and bizarre than a surprise jack-in-the-box where some random stranger pops out singing.

Isn’t that right?

Judging from past experiences, there has never been a time when something inside a suspiciously suspicious facility like this was normal, I swear.

I mean, every time I’ve only encountered products of madness.

Dungeons built during the Idol War are probably still slumbering somewhere underground, and this is likely another product of that. The only things that could pop out of there are ancient monsters.

Monsters that deserve to die.

As my fighting spirit filled me, a combative cat possessed my mind. My heart pounded rapidly, and a kind of swelling anticipation stimulated my impulses.

I’d been itching for a real fight ever since that battle with Andromalius.

If anything comes out that deserves to die, I’ll kill it right then and there.

“Hehehe, no matter what kind of bastard is waiting, Cheonma Kim Kat will never yield.”

ㅡThump, thump.

With each step, I unfolded my footwork with lethal intent.

The speed was slow. I checked my escape route and approached the object in front of me very slowly. The moment something pops out, I’ll respond. Beyond responding, I’ll snap its neck in reverse.

So come out.

Come out and offer me your blade.

I’m saying, let me fight.

“Andro. Don’t you feel anything? This is the deepest part of your heart. A terribly horrific and terrible space. So wake up. Wake up and say something.”

ㅡ…

Buer was silent.

“Fucking bastard.”

I was at least going to ask what kind of energy he was feeling, but he’s completely useless. Vowing never to trust a guy like this again, I sensed my surroundings.

ㅡExpanded senses.

The sharp senses that spread throughout the space crammed the collected information into my brain. There was nothing particularly strange. The energies I felt weren’t particularly special either.

The strange energy Andro felt must be coming from there.

But I can’t feel it.

Is it a being that transcends my senses? Or is it because he’s a Great Demon and has different abilities than humans? Either way, it’s not a good sign. But it’s not something I can’t overcome either. A sign that it’s not good is a bad sign… and I’m a man who enjoys bad signs.

I’m Cheonma, who can do anything.

ㅡHaaap!

Taking a deep breath.

“Gaaal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

I loudly rebuked.

ㅡ…

But there was no reaction.
Is it not a being that responds to sound?

Eventually, I reached the object.

“This is.”

The object was a large coffin.

Yes.
A large coffin.

“A coffin, huh.”

Judging by the size of the coffin, the owner of this coffin was a giant or something close to it. But that wasn’t the end of it.

“And what the hell is this?”

The coffin was sealed.

ㅡChains wrapped around it.

Although it was covered in a lot of dust.

Black.

Chains made of a metal that was just black, making it impossible to know the exact material, were wrapped around the coffin as if to squeeze it, and bizarre talismans were stuck all over the lid and body of the coffin as if to pray that the contents would not escape.

However, what was more bizarre than anything else was the strange magic circle drawn on the floor below the coffin.

I don’t know how long it’s been since it was drawn, but a bizarre magic circle that seemed to be drawn with a reddish-colored paint surrounded the coffin.

This was clearly a magic circle drawn to perform some kind of spell.

I carefully examined the pattern, being careful not to step on it.

The central part of the coffin was hidden, so I couldn’t see it all, but it was an elaborate magic circle that would be difficult to draw with ordinary artistic skills.

The guy who can draw something like this must be a pervert with a great sense of art. And usually, those guys are nothing but hopeless trash. Because their innate senses are completely different from ordinary people, they vaguely regard the boundary between life and death and complete their art with the death of others.

I know that there are quite a few crazy painters with such murderous tendencies in this world. Certainly. There’s no way that guys who draw in a world that looks like this would be normal.

That kind of guy is involved… and this coffin that seems to be sealed in a crazy way.

ㅡIt’s too suspicious.

I immediately looked around.

“…”

I wondered if there were any markings on the walls, but they were just walls. There’s nothing drawn anywhere except on the floor.

“It’s just that some kind of being is sealed. Andro. I’ll ask you one last time. Do you feel anything from this?”

ㅡWhoosh.

I swung Buer outside the boundary of the magic circle and slashed the air above it. There’s no need to touch it rashly. Even this much should be enough for Andro to feel it.

If he doesn’t say anything, I’ll just go back.

“Are you really still sleeping? Huh?”

ㅡ…

Just silence.

That was the moment.

ㅡWooooooong…!!!

Buer began to vibrate again.

“Has he awakened?”

Bingo.

“Andromalius.”

ㅡWooooooong!!!

The vibration was more intense than when I was searching earlier. Yeah. If you feel it right in front of you, you have no choice but to wake up. Wake up, Great Demon. Wake up and help me.

“Kuh… Kueeeugh…!”

His voice.

“A strange energy… I feel it! Right in front of me!”
“Yeah. I’ve come right up to it. Do you know what this is?”
“I don’t know!!! I don’t know about things like this!!! I just feel it’s strange, I can’t find the answer!!!”
“Fuck.”

What a useless bastard.

“No, then. How do you know it’s a strange energy if you don’t know what it is? What’s the basis for that kind of thinking?”
“It’s an unpleasant, and unpleasant energy…! I don’t know what it is, but there’s no way for this Andromalius to deal with it…! I want to know! I want to tear off that unpleasant but small energy and explore it! If I were in a complete state, I would have done so, of course! Kueeeugh!!!”

ㅡKyaaaaaaaaak!!!

Andro, who had been screaming for a long time asking what this was, soon shut his mouth and began to become quiet.

ㅡ…

Has he entered a dormant state again?

It was really a useless intermittent seizure.

“Yeah… he said it was a small energy. I guess it’s an energy that only a Great Demon can feel.”

If it was demonic energy, he would have said it was demonic energy. He just said it was a strange energy, so it must be something different. Whatever it is, what’s inside this coffin isn’t a demon. I was thinking of something like an ancient Great Demon like Belial, but I was wrong.

“Anyway, what I have to do doesn’t change.”

I circled around the magic circle.

Should I touch this?

I don’t know what’s inside, but it’s probably not in a normal state. It’s clearly been sealed for a very long time. The level of the seal also seems quite high.

ㅡSwish.

I looked up at the ceiling.

Let’s assume that the being inside this coffin wakes up. And let’s also think about how much power it has. Even if this space itself is destroyed, it won’t be a big problem. The problem is the pillars surrounding this space.

Can I subdue him without damaging them?

“Hmm.”

It’s not impossible.
Whoever the enemy is, I will not be defeated.

Because as much as I don’t have information about him, he doesn’t have information about me either. Then the odds are 5:5, and I’m Cheonma, so I eat up about half of that. Therefore, the odds are 7.5:2.5.

With a 75% chance of winning, it’s as good as already won.

ㅡWhirrrrr!

As I was thinking that, the spirit of despising the weak began to burn from within. I can clearly feel that my thinking ability is speeding up and my situation analysis ability is increasing. Certainly. I can’t do this when I’m sparring with Karin and Lisztina.

Thinking of them, I have the option of bringing my women, but Cheonma doesn’t bother my women with this kind of thing.

“Hello?”

ㅡHaa…

I let out a breath and spoke.

“Is anyone there?”

The breath that flows out is hot.
The heated breath from inside me makes my mouth hot.

“Is anyone there! Answer me!!! Delivery is here! Yes! Open the door!! I know you’re in there! Why aren’t you opening the door!!! Why!!! I said I’m here for delivery, you bastard!!!”

I poured out profanity at the sealed being while unleashing my rampaging murderous intent. I can’t take it anymore, you bastard!!! I’m going to open the lid and take out what’s inside!!! There’s no way that whatever’s lying in bed can block my sword!!!

ㅡ…

That moment.

“…”
“Oh.”

Some kind of energy from the coffin.

I started to feel it too.

ㅡZzzzzzzzz.

Following that, I heard a kind of `sound` that I couldn’t understand. Some kind of strange sound like noise began to be heard from inside the coffin.

Is there something in the sound? I quickly analyzed my entire body while preparing to cut the coffin whole.

Since there’s nothing wrong, it doesn’t seem to be some kind of attack.

ㅡCrackle. Crackle…!

The coffin itself didn’t move at all, but the chains shook slightly and the sound flowed out. Yeah. Even if it’s sealed, it’s not completely dead. They must have sealed it because they couldn’t kill it.

Or they needed to store it.

ㅡ…

Soon, the sound stopped.

“…Why.”

What I heard was a voice that was not human.

A sonorous voice that seemed to echo. I can feel that the vocal cords themselves are large. But the voice was cracked, and I couldn’t feel any powerful force at all.

It’s not a hallucination, but a physical voice.

“Why… is a Great Demon even here?”

What?

“Hey.”

Wait.

No.
Fuck.

Did this bastard just say Great Demon?

I briefly assessed the situation and opened my mouth.

“…There is no reason, nameless one. I, the Great Demon Andromalius, say, declare what your identity is. My patience is not great. But in return, I possess great power. Therefore, whoever cannot resolve my questions, whoever it may be, will be annihilated.”

I imitated Andromalius’ voice and personality as much as possible, and changed it appropriately in my own way.

I don’t know what’s inside, but it was a sealed being.

Judging from the fact that he mentioned the Great Demon, I think he woke up in response to that.

I never dreamed that something like this would be in the basement of Isvant, but originally, people have no idea what kind of strange things the person living on the floor below them is hiding in their drawers… I mean, they have no idea what lives inside the unpleasant drainpipes flowing from the apartment below.

The only important thing now is that I’m talking to him.

“Great Demon… Andromalius.”

He was silent for a moment, as if to chew on my words.

“Humans… there should be humans… why is a Great Demon here…?”

It seems difficult for him to speak. But this bastard… he’s ignoring my words and saying what he wants. I was going to split him up first, but I decided to humor him for a moment.

“The cities of humans have been destroyed. Even the world of humans has been destroyed. Only the demons of Pandemonium and the lowly beings from the Demon Realm walk the earth. All other races have been annihilated. The ruler of this land now is not a human, but I, the Great Demon Andromalius.”

I used the fact that his information was limited and completely lied, deceiving him with a blatant lie.

“Therefore, I, the Great Demon Andromalius, ask.”

Let’s see his reaction first.

“What are you, sealed here?”
“…”

A moment of silence followed.

“…Keuha.”
“What?”
“Keuha… Keuhahaha… So… humans have finally been defeated. Keuheuh, keuheuhheuh…! Keuhehahahahahaha!!!”

Why is this bastard laughing?

But judging from the fact that he’s laughing at the news that the world where people live has been destroyed, he doesn’t seem to be a good guy at all. He was a bastard who deserved to be sealed.

You’re dead, you bastard.
