## Chapter 1245 – Savior of Hell

I look down at the Demon’s Nest, which has been hit by the Heavenly Demon Extermination Jade and turned into dust beyond a complete mess, and burst into laughter.

The desire for destruction surging from within is being fully unleashed…!

I, Kim Kkat, will bring salvation to this hell through destruction, for I am the Savior of Hell, Ksitigarbha Kim Kkat!!!

I will indiscriminately shower this boundless love of mine upon Pandemonium!!

ㅡKieeeeeek!
ㅡKaaaaaaaak!
ㅡKiiiiiiit!!

I hear the screams of demons from below. I see those outside the blast radius fleeing in utter terror.

Their appearances were severely irregular.

Some walked on two legs, others crawled on four. Some had multiple heads, others resembled insects. I’ve always thought that demons come in such a variety of forms. Of course, it makes sense since there are said to be so many different races.

However.

“Hmm.”

I looked at the crater created by the Heavenly Demon Extermination Jade.

ㅡ…

It was good that I imitated Karset’s Spirit Bomb to use the Heavenly Demon Extermination Jade. It’s my first time using it, but I liked the size of the sphere, and I liked that it was a success. I like everything about it, really.

But.

The destructive power isn’t very satisfying.

As expected, the destructive power is less than half of what I put into it. I crammed in the same amount of power I used to obliterate the Colossus with the Heavenly Demon Shattering Palm, but it’s not as effective as I thought.

As expected, the destructive power plummets as soon as it leaves my hands.

Still, it’s meaningful that I can use this long-range, wide-area destruction technique. Either way, I can just improve it. I’m glad I can use a new technique.

“K, Kkat-nim…! My goodness! Such destruction!!! The demons’ nest was annihilated in a single blow!”

Hilde exclaimed, flapping her wings.

“It’s only natural for me.”
“Over a hundred demons died just now!”

Seems about right.

The nest had a bizarre shape, and inside it, a little over a hundred strange demons were wriggling. Seeing that, I can’t help but think that I have to kill them all.

“What a spectacular entrance! The demons who noticed this might come flocking to see what’s going on!”
“Hilde.”
“Yes?”
“That’s exactly what I’m aiming for.”

At those words, Hilde blinked.

“Ah…! You’re luring them in!”

She shouted in surprise.

“That’s right.”

Indeed.

Start with a bang. Draw attention. If something strange is happening in their territory, it’s only natural for them to come and see what’s going on. Of course, the weaklings will run away. But what about those with some power? They’ll trust in their strength and come to see without fail.

If I can kill those guys.

Nothing could be better.

“I’m going to kill every last demon I see! If they come to me on their own two feet, even better!”
“You’re so cool, Kkat-nim!!!”
“Hahahahaha!!”

Originally, I can’t stand seeing thugs, bandits, or heretics. It’s beneficial to kill those trash whenever I see them.

But demons are even worse than that.

The more of them I kill, the safer our land becomes. Thinking about that, the spirit of Fusion Confucianism blazes within me, fueling my motivation…! Belgium! Demons are as cruel as Belgians!!

“Ah! Kkat-nim! Then a Great Demon might come! If they notice the commotion in their territory, they’ll have no choice but to come…! And when they do!”
“I’ll take him down and find out about manipulating souls.”
“That’s a perfect plan!”

Of course, if you cause a ruckus, the local big shot is bound to react. Among the strong demons who come, there’s a high probability that a Great Demon will be included.

There’s no need for me to go looking for them.

I can just wait while destroying everything and take only the delicious fruit.

“But Kkat-nim, do you think you’ll be able to learn it well?”
“Well, I don’t think I’ll be able to do it in just one try.”

In the first place, we’re different races and have different powers.

Still, if I watch a few times, I might get a feel for it. That’s the sensation I want right now. And it doesn’t really matter if there are no results.

For me, destroying this hell is a result in itself.

For Kim Kkat, the seeker of Fusion Confucianism and the god of love, that has immense value…! I’m sure I’ll awaken to the secrets of the soul eventually! Killing demons is important too!

“Then Hilde, shall we take a stroll?”
“Yes!”

And so, Hilde and I flew side by side, taking in the scenery of Pandemonium.

Originally, I flew with the propulsion generated by powerfully kicking off the sky with my divine power-infused feet, so I couldn’t do the act of flying slowly itself.

The same goes for floating in the air.

But now I have wings.

Since I’m adjusting my power appropriately with the wings on my back, it’s now possible to fly slowly, and it’s also possible to float in the air.

Truly, is this not the form of a god?

* * *

“But this is a really unpleasant space.”

ㅡKkiyaaaaaak!!
ㅡKuwoooooooo!!!

Bizarre noises are heard from all directions. Not only that, but I also seem to smell an indescribable odor, and the air touching my skin isn’t very friendly either.

“That’s just the environment of Pandemonium. It’s not a very nice place to live.”
“It looks like it. The scenery is also bizarre.”

Pandemonium was, as the name suggests, a bizarre space.

It’s a space made up of black, dark blue, deep purple, and flamboyant pink. Those nightmarish colors were scattered around haphazardly.

It felt like a space created by just splattering those four colors of paint all over a canvas. And what about the bizarre planets floating in the sky? Of course, not only that, but the terrain on the ground is also not normal.

There are bumpy things, a river of unknown origin, and strange trees and forests of unknown origin as well. I haven’t been able to find any buildings yet.

“Among the demons, there are some who can build buildings, so if we go, we might find some demon buildings.”
“What do they do in those buildings?”
“Well, they just live inside? Even though they’re demons, they can’t live happily on the land of Pandemonium. It’s better to go inside a building. Succubi also form villages and live there.”

It’s not like the human world, but it seems that the demons are living well in their own ways.

But humans usually work on weekdays and rest or pursue hobbies on weekends.

Then what about demons?

“What do demons usually do with their time?”
“That, well. It depends on the race or individual. Usually, they hunt, or they chant some unknown spell all day, or they frantically scratch at a dimensional rift they found somewhere, or they go looking for wandering souls.”
“Souls?”
“You know that the soul of someone who made a contract with a demon becomes the property of that demon, right?”
“Yeah.”
“Usually, demons who obtain souls torment them to increase their power. But that doesn’t mean that the soul will stick with that demon for ten thousand years. There are many cases where they lose their souls for some reason.”

Oh, no!!!

“The soul… escapes meaninglessly and gets caught by another lucky demon and gets tormented again. It’s almost always like that. It’s unfortunate.”
“Those bastards!!! I’m going to kill them all!!!!”

ㅡKuaaaaaaaa!!!

A roar erupts!!!

Tormenting human souls!!!!

“We have to kill them all!!!”

And so, I conducted a flight in the skies of Pandemonium with Hilde as my guide. I was planning to move around a bit and kill the demons I saw.

“Well, I know a bit about my neighborhood, but I don’t know much about places this far away. Kkat-nim knows a lot about Isvant, but he doesn’t know much about foreign countries, right?”
“That’s true.”

Just because someone is a local doesn’t mean they know everything.

“There are Great Demons who rule in this Pandemonium, but that can vary depending on the region, and not all demons obey the Great Demons. And there are also Demon Lords… Anyway, they’re all strong, but I don’t think they’ll be a match for Kkat-nim!”
“Hehehe, of course. They’re all food. Food.”

Whatever they are, I can just kill them all.

“Ah, but Hilde, then what’s the strongest being in Pandemonium?”
“Well… I don’t really know. This is such a bizarre place.”

Adramalech.

That guy was ridiculously strong.

An ancient Great Demon who had been active since before the Idol War era. But he wouldn’t be the only ancient Great Demon, and not all of the ancient Great Demons were destroyed during the Idol War.

Perhaps there is such a powerful being somewhere in this Pandemonium.

In the first place, he was sealed with a ridiculously strong seal and was in a weakened state. If… there’s someone in this Pandemonium stronger than Adramalech.

That would be kind of nice.

“Are there no Demon Kings or Demon Gods?”
“There might be somewhere. Great Demons all have different natures, so there might be some who call themselves kings… Ah! Kkat-nim! Something’s coming over there!”
“I see it.”

ㅡSwaeeeeek!!

It was.

A group of demons.

“There they are!!!”
“Kyaaaaaaaaak!!”
“Catch him!!!”

The demons, who were flying over while shouting, looked somewhat similar to humans. They had heads and limbs… well, roughly. That’s it. They had no eyes, ears, or noses on their faces. There was only a mouth with ears torn to the sides.

Hideous teeth protruded, and their heads had bull-like horns. On their backs were bat wings. Finally, they had tails like those of reptiles.

Those bastards were flying towards us in a flock like migratory birds.

ㅡSwaeeeeeeeeek!!

The number was roughly one hundred and thirty.

“Hilde, stay behind me.”
“Yes!”

I immediately sent Hilde behind me.

“Heavenly Demon Divine Art.”

I focus on the timing while filling my fist with destruction.

“Kuyaaaaaaaa!”
“Kaaaaak!!”
“Kiiiiiiit!!!”

Just as those guys flew close to me.

“Heavenly Demon Shattering Palm.”

Towards that empty space.

I slam my fist in.

「ㅡTuukwaaaaaaaaaaaaaang!!!」

A noise that shakes the sky.
A massive explosion occurs.

“Ah…!”

The demons that were flying were annihilated without a trace.

“I reduced the destructive power a little and increased the explosion range. That’s the result.”
“Again, in an instant…!”

These bastards are no match for me.
Whether it’s a hundred or a thousand, they’re all instantly killed.

ㅡTsupat.

“Hmm?”

Just then, I felt some kind of energy from below.

“Geuwoooooooo!!”
“Kiyaaaaaaaaak!!”

Looking down, I saw some huge hunchbacked demons picking up rocks and throwing them at me.

ㅡHwareureureuk!!

Purple flames momentarily blazed from the rocks flying like missiles. Did they infuse their power into the rocks? I don’t know for sure, but it seemed to have decent power.

Of course, by the standards of guys like them.

“It seems like they’re planning to attack in earnest.”
“Hehehe, just what I wanted.”

It wasn’t just those bastards. Some insect-type demons who had climbed to the top of that mountain were firing magic at me, and other flying squadrons were also flying this way.

“I’ll kill them all.”

I muttered that and looked at the flying rocks.

The size is considerable. It’s an asteroid almost the size of a Damas, and they’re not only shooting it like a missile, but they’ve also infused their power into it?

“A pushover.”

Towards the asteroid.

ㅡCheoeok.

I extend my index finger.

“Heavenly Demon Divine Art Heavenly Demon Finger.”

I’m not trying to stop the asteroid by shooting out power. It’s just that the asteroid flew towards me, and the moment it hit the tip of my finger.

ㅡKwaaaaaaaaaaang!!!

With a roar, the asteroid shattered into pieces. It’s only natural. Did they think they could do anything to this Heavenly Demon Kim Kkat by picking up and throwing a measly asteroid?

I grabbed a fragment of the shattered asteroid.

ㅡKkwak.

As I gently applied force, the fragment in my grasp shattered into small pieces.

“I’ll return it.”

I infused my power into it and threw it.

Then.

ㅡKwakakakakakakang!!!

Like a shotgun.

The area where the hunchbacked demons were was completely destroyed.

“I won’t forgive demons!!!”
