## Chapter 1250 – Savior of Hell

“Hehehe, negotiation? You speak amusingly.”
“Keuk…!”

With a slight squeeze of my hand, the succubus’s face began to turn blue.

Is this what it feels like to have an envoy from the enemy? It’s no wonder the generals in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms chuckled as they beheaded the envoys who came to them.

Chinese historians refer to the Three Kingdoms period as such:

The Graveyard of Envoys.

An era when the heads of envoys who went to deliver messages to the enemy were piled up like mountains. According to legend, the origin of the Mountain of Severed Messengers (節斬山) in Hebei, China, is that mountain made of heads.

How many severed heads of envoys must have been piled up to become a mountain?

“Dare you negotiate with me? The only thing you should offer me is infinite obedience, you insignificant speck.”
“Kuh…! S, save me…! Keheok!”

Massaging her neck with my fingers, the succubus was on the verge of vomiting blood.

Of course, I am not a general from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

I don’t commit the barbaric act of killing envoys. Since she’s a demon anyway, it would be better to kill her, but it would be better to keep her alive to be guided to that Asmodeus’s place.

ㅡKoo-oong.

Thinking that far, I dropped her to the ground.

“Kehk! Kehehk…! Kehk, kehk!”

The succubus coughed and trembled.

“Right. I don’t do the senseless act of killing envoys who come to propose negotiations. So guide me to your place.”
“It would be wise to guide him if you don’t want to die, Succubus.”

Hilde coldly looked down at the succubus, agreeing with my words.

“Ah, guide…”
“Hilde, I want to be guided by her, so tell her nicely.”
“Yes!”

ㅡHwareureuk!

Hilde answered energetically, deploying magic and extending her fingernails.

“Hmph.”

The Great Demon is proposing negotiations first.

These bastards must be pretty scared right now.
They’ve decided they can’t beat me.

That’s why they’ve come to propose negotiations. There’s nothing more disadvantageous than fighting an opponent stronger than yourself. They clearly want to resolve things amicably through negotiation.

But.

I don’t negotiate with demons… If I just storm into this Asmodeus’s lair and smash everything to pieces.

The other Great Demons will know.

That I am not someone who can be negotiated with.

Neither negotiation nor dialogue works. If such an incarnation of destruction is marching towards them, there is only one option left.

“To fight.”

If diplomacy doesn’t work, there’s only war. All the Great Demons will know that, and there’s a high probability they’ll come at me as a group to exclude me.

Then I just have to wipe them out all at once.

Of course, this Pandemonium is vast. Killing them won’t make a dent, but I should at least kill about ten Great Demons before I go back, right?

And if I keep provoking them like this.

ㅡAdramelech.

Someone as powerful as that bastard might come. No. It has to be someone stronger than him. That would satisfy me more. Demon King? Demon Lord? I hope someone who catches my eye comes.

“Kyaaaaaak!!”

The succubus screamed.

“You’re a demon, yet you’re so tight-lipped.”
“Kiek!”

She was being beaten to a pulp by Hilde as if it were Dog Beating Day. Hilde was enthusiastically soccer-kicking the succubus, slashing her with Sanhoncheoljo with her fingernails, and shooting fireballs, trying to completely destroy her.

“I, I understand! I, I will guide you to Lord Asmodeus!”

Soon, she gave in.
That’s what a demon should be.

“Hilde, good job.”
“It’s nothing. Crushing such a weak demon is nothing!”
“Hehehe, that’s right.”

Hilde has become quite strong too.

“But what exactly is our Hilde’s level?”
“I’m not quite at the level of a Great Demon yet. If I fought Dantalian, I would lose.”
“Hmm… Is that all?”

Hilde has eaten a lot of things, though. Well, Great Demons are strong. It’s just that I’m much stronger.

“Hey. Succubus. Guide us then.”
“…I understand.”
“Destination?”
“To, Asmodeus’s… palace.”
“Good.”

ㅡFlap.

As I gave permission, she flapped her wings and soared into the sky. I followed her with Hilde.

“Hmm, Katt-nim. But will she guide us properly? It seems like a lie…”
“If it’s a lie, we can just kill her. Anyway, if we move around, we’ll eventually find out.”
“That’s true! But what about the negotiations?”
“I’m planning to smash everything anyway.”

In the first place, if they want to negotiate, they have to give me something that would be beneficial to me, but it’s unlikely that demons have anything like that.

My goal is to destroy this Pandemonium in the name of Fusion Confucianism. Can Asmodeus give me something more valuable than that? I don’t think so.

Therefore, negotiation is impossible.

* * *

“Ooh.”

As we were flying, I began to see something like a palace from afar.

“It’s quite a splendid palace.”

Hilde, who was flying next to me, said in a calm tone.

“There’s no way those who build such things are normal. You could say they have a lot of human emotions, which is proof that they are obsessed with human souls.”
“What? Really?”
“Yes. The palace is very luxurious, isn’t it?”
“It is.”

In fact, the palace was very luxurious.

Dantalian’s tower was at least in the form of a tower, and there were some decorations on the outer walls, but this palace looked like a splendid palace of a human kingdom.

If this wasn’t Pandemonium, you could think of it as some kind of tourist attraction.

“Human emotions, huh.”
“After coveting human souls so much, those emotions are reflected. It’s also proof that he’s quite strong.”
“So if you covet human souls, do you all gain human emotions?”
“Not all of them do. The individual’s ideology is the most important. Andromalius was also a very powerful Great Demon, but you couldn’t find any human emotions in him, right?”
“He was a complete madman.”

Come to think of it, that Andro bastard.

I couldn’t handle his power at all, so I just stashed him away. I used him effectively after catching and killing Vygol for the first time, but since he’s fundamentally a demon sword, he can’t withstand my power.

Damn useless bastard!

I like fighting with my bare hands, but I also want to do some swordsmanship! If I use my power now, I could unleash even more powerful Director General Swordplay.

“Anyway, so Asmodeus is there.”
“Yes.”

Whatever the case, anyone addicted to human souls is a target for extermination.

I looked straight ahead again.

ㅡ…

The succubus guiding us was flying ahead. I could see her from behind. Specifically, I could see her butt and tail completely from inside her skirt.

“Eek!”

For a moment, as I had such thoughts, Hilde, who was flying next to me, came in front of me. With that, Hilde’s butt filled my vision.

This.

Is good?

“Hilde?”
“Katt-nim, what are you looking at!”
“No. I was looking ahead.”
“Don’t lie! I saw you looking at that succubus’s butt!”
“Hey, hey. Hilde. It’s just that it was in front of me, so I couldn’t help but see it. It’s not appealing, not appealing. Hilde’s butt is better.”
“Hmm.”

ㅡSwaying.

Hilde was flying in front of me, swaying her butt like a bee. Watching this makes me feel at ease.

With that kind of feeling, we landed in front of the palace.

“…This is it.”
“It’s a splendid palace. Is your master inside?”
“Maybe… I think so…”

The succubus still had a terrified look on her face.

“Hehehe, right. Let’s go in.”
“…”

ㅡTtaak.

As the succubus flicked her fingers.

ㅡKkiiiiiik.

The huge stone gate slowly began to open. It’s the main gate of the palace. I’m very curious about what’s inside.

“Oh.”

When the door was fully opened.

I felt the air change.

ㅡSaaaah.

The palace was filled with pink smoke. The pink smoke felt like it had a kind of aphrodisiac effect, but is it a trap? Of course, something like this will never work on me.

“What are all these things? Is this a trap?”
“N, no! It’s not! This kind of air is always spread throughout Lord Asmodeus’s palace!”
“Really? Hilde, what are all these things?”

Hilde was running her finger over her lips.

“Hmm… It seems like the owner of this palace might be a succubus. This is that energy.”
“So you’re saying there’s a succubus Great Demon?”
“Maybe? I don’t know, but Pandemonium is vast. It wouldn’t be strange if there was a powerful succubus claiming to be a Great Demon. Succubus. Tell me about your master.”

Hilde said that and asked the succubus.

“…Lord Asmodeus is a succubus.”
“That’s right, Katt-nim!”
“Right. Well. But I don’t care about that kind of thing. Let’s go further inside.”
“Yes.”

The three of us walked together down the corridor of the palace.

It was at that moment as we were walking.

“Ah, aah. Aah… Heuek, heueung! Haaheueung!”
“Heungah-eut! Haahng! Aaaah-eueeung…! Hikk! Hiiik!”
“H, hiit… Stop. I don’t like it. Heueung…! Aaeueuk…!”

The moans of women began to be heard from afar. What’s going on now? I exchanged glances with Hilde.

“W, well? Is someone having sex somewhere?”
“That’s the sound of sex.”
“It seems to be ahead. It’s on the way anyway.”

ㅡJeobeok jeobeok.

Go straight ahead.
The moment I turned the corner there.

I couldn’t help but frown.

“Aahng! Aahng, haaahng…!”
“Hieuek…! Heuek, eueueuk…! Eueuk!”

The sound of moans coming from all directions.

“Oh my fucking god.”

And the number of women who moaned.

“What is all this?”

This big room, yes.
It was a very bizarre and lewd space.

ㅡSquish… Squish… Squish.
ㅡCreak creak creak creak.

Red tentacles were in full bloom everywhere. Each of the tentacles was holding naked succubi and translucent women, mercilessly tormenting their genitals and breasts.

Sexual torture.

Yes, it’s large-scale sexual torture.

There were over a hundred women being sexually tortured while being held by tentacles. This huge space was filled with such beings.

“Aeuek…! Heuek!”
“Eueueeung…! Haaahng, aaaahng…!”
“Hieuk, h, hieuk…!”

I looked to the side.

Tentacles were wrapped around a stone pillar, and a woman was being held in the middle. ㅡCreak creak creak creak. The tentacles were violating the woman’s genitals. The woman was just convulsing, not making any sound.

Is she a succubus?
No.

She’s a translucent woman.

“…”

Everywhere is squishy. Pink air and… women moaning here and there. Tentacles that are just holding women and sexually torturing them without doing anything else.

“Um, Katt-nim?”

Hilde looked at me with a stiff face.
I silently shook my head and called the succubus.

“Hey, succubus.”
“…Yes.”
“I understand that succubi are playing lewdly.”

If the boss here is a succubus, it wouldn’t be strange for her to decorate her palace as a den of tentacles. Succubi are that kind of race. From the looks of it, the succubi are also being held by those tentacles, happily sucking on breasts and shaking their hips.

As if they don’t know we’re here at all.

That’s right.
I understand everything.

But.

“What are all those translucent women?”

Translucent women were being held by tentacles. They had none of the characteristics of succubi. Their ears are short, they have no horns, no wings, and no tails.

“I’m asking what they are.”
“…”

The succubus trembled and slowly opened her mouth.

“T, the souls of… human women…”

Right.

They were human souls.

“Heavenly Demon Divine Art.”

Immediately deploy the Heavenly Demon Divine Art.

“Heavenly Demon Extermination Jade.”

ㅡPaaat.

A sphere the size of a volleyball is created on my fist. This is enough to blow away this space. Knowing that my power can’t interfere with souls, it’s okay to just destroy it.

“T, they are! They are those who were captured by contract! They are not innocent beings!”
“Hehehe, shut up.”

I’ve heard that even innocent beings can have their souls stolen.
