Chapter 488 – Killing Demons

When I see demons coming through the gate, I feel something strange. Still, the information Hildegard gave was real. There is a Demon Gate and little demons come out of it.

To be honest, my doubts still haven’t been cleared, but the reward has been confirmed. Thinking like that makes me feel safe again. When the demon’s existence was proven, peace settled in my heart.

After all, happiness is different depending on time and circumstances.

Perhaps the demons came to inform me of that fact.

Anyway, Barkerell, who had completed the situation, gathered a search party and gave instructions.

“It won’t be too late to fight after figuring out the strength of the demons. Form a team of one person. Let’s start reconnaissance.”

There were a total of nine people in the search party, and me, Cloudy, and Winia were guides and guests. Eight searchers formed groups of four.

“Brother will act with me. It’s a dangerous situation, so be careful.”
“All right.”

So the scouting team was divided.

The Paladins and Priests left for reconnaissance as if they were used to it.

These are people who feel like real soldiers. I’m sure you’ve done this countless times. It wouldn’t be wrong to call them the special forces of the church. Paladins are experts in such sabotage operations.

“It was a very valuable report. To discover the Demon Gate like this… This is a very important matter, so I will definitely inform the church of my brother’s achievements. You will surely be able to receive a great reward.”
Hehe, thank you for saying that.”

Barkerell promised me a reward.

Of course, if they report that much as they are sincere, they will give you a proper reward. In fact, until now, only holy water had been respected, but that holy water was quite expensive to obtain from the private sector.

Even if it was a low-grade holy water, it might not be, but such high-end items were not well leaked even in the church.

“No. I guess I should do my thanks. If I could close Demongate, there would be no such honor. Thank you very much, brother.”
“Then let’s just say mutual thanks!”
“Hmm?Haha. I see. Let’s thank each other!”

As Hildegard said, subjugation would be easy if only weak demons gathered here. If the demons are not of the same race, they say that they don’t get along very well with each other, so they’re just ragtags.

Unruly bastards can never beat warriors who have been trained for team fights.

Still, there are always exceptions.

There may be something hidden that even Hildegard doesn’t know about.

The last time she checked her gate was a few days ago, she said. If so, there is nothing strange even if there is a change.

“Cut.”

Halfway up the hill, covered in bushes, waiting for the scout, Claudy said. Apparently, the demons from the gate came this way.

“Brother Barcharell. Get ready.”
“I’m feeling it too.”

ㅡ Miracles, miracles.

Leaving the bottom to Cloudy and Winia, Barkerell and I stumbled up the hill again. He’ll be able to take care of it quietly if he’s on standby and then ambush.

“Human blood… I want human blood.”
“I want to eat. I want to eat humans.”

Soon, cold voices began to be heard from the top of the hill.

It is the voice of demons.

“…!”

It wasn’t long before Barcharell’s face contorted, and two small demons came over the hill.

“This, this energy… Human energy… Can you feel the human energy?”
“Human… I want to eat. But I don’t see a human.”

You bastards… Why are you so sluggish?

If strength is weak, does intellect also degenerate? I don’t know what Red Demons are because they look so random and there’s no unity. Anyway, the fact that it’s small is proof that it’s a bitch.

They kept sticking their heads out while muttering something.

—-The moment our eyes meet with those guys.

That was the signal.

ㅡPay!

Barkerell and I immediately jumped up like jumping spiders and attacked the demons with our bodies. The vigilant demons came into our arms just like that.

“…!”
“Quiet.”

After subduing the Lesser Demon by hugging it with all its body her, I squeezed its neck tightly and made it unable to make a sound. So did Barcharell.

“They must be weak demons.”
“I think so. But judging from the way he speaks, I don’t think there’s any use in interrogating him? And if he speaks loudly, it might cause trouble.”
“That’s what I think too.”

ㅡSureung.

Barkerell drew his dagger and immediately severed the Red Demon’s head.

“Muhh…!!!!!”

The Lesser Demon struggled, trying to scream something, but there was nothing it could do while restrained.

“Heavenly Demon God.”

I also used both arms to break his neck bones.

ㅡWooddeuk!

“Kureuk!”
“Rear naked choke.”

This baby’s voice is clear.
It seems that you have taken good care of your neck bones.

Anyway, in less than 30 seconds, the two demons were transformed into black ooze. The nasty liquid soaked my armor.

“If all the demons are at this level, it won’t be difficult to annihilate them.”
“I hope so. But first of all, calm down. I know you want to kill the demon as soon as possible, but it’s only after the scout team gets the information that you’re going to move in earnest.”

It is also a rational judgment.

This kind of person is the right person to lead the team.

“They are skilled at carrying out various missions. They will gather the right information.”

I nodded.

While hiding at the bottom of the hill, sucking the air, Barkerel and Barkerell cut off the small demons that came over from time to time.

Maybe it’s because he’s a weak devil, so he doesn’t have a good sense of human beings?

Every time I did a surprise attack, it worked wonderfully.

In the first place, I didn’t think that there would be humans near the gate, so it seems that I was in a state of carelessness. I thought that all demons were vicious killers, but looking at it this way, there were quite a few people at the bottom like this in Hell.

To those demons, the human world would have been a kind of new world.

A chance to grow in strength, a stepping stone to climb higher. They jumped over the gate as soon as it opened to seize their chance.

—-Without knowing what fate awaits.

In fact, these bastards are not soldiers, so what kind of rules do they have? Because they act so clumsily on the subject of invaders, everyone is going to die. It’s right that they all die.

“Hey, scouts are coming.”

Eventually, after about two hours, the scout returned. Their clothes were blackened with the blood of demons. It seems that there was a skirmish in many ways.

Representatives from the two scouting teams are watching the current situation.

“The demons don’t appear to be grouped together. I believe they are all moving individually. I took out a few of them as I moved, but they weren’t ready for battle, and they weren’t very strong.”
“Me too, Captain Barcharell. I think I can annihilate demons at this level. Unless this is a demon trap.”

It’s a trap…

It is unlikely.

Digging a trap meant cooperating with each other, but there was no sign of that when looking at the contents of the reconnaissance. And we can sell a trap only when we know it’s coming.

It seems that they didn’t conduct a professional invasion, but just went on a picnic on their own.

“Captain Barkerel. I don’t think there will be any problem destroying that Demon Gate right away. All the demons that crawled out have already left, so the surroundings are almost empty. Now is the opportunity.”
“You’re right. Brothers. We’re going to attack Demon Gate from now on. Get ready.”

When Barkerell gave the order, the search crew all began preparing for battle. He asked us to stay by his side his.

It’s okay if I don’t protect it.

“Be careful not to break the formation and advance.”

ㅡ Jerking and bucking.

So we crossed the hill while maintaining formation. There were no guys guarding the gate. As soon as they came out, they moved freely.

“Oh, oh…!”
“Kuhuheugh…!”
“Kahahah…!”

The Paladins opened their eyes while looking at the Demon Gate and let out a bizarre groan.

ㅡBudbubububububu.

Their hands were shaking. These madmen must have been extremely agitated. It seems that he is holding back from wanting to jump out right now.

“Turn it off…!”

But it was the same with Barcharell. He, too, is moaning while biting his upper lip as his eyes are about to go back half way.

This crazy

These are not insane.

ㅡ go oh…

Then we arrived in front of the Demon Gate.

The gate that was roaring black was, as it were, a passage connected to hell. Could it be that I can use this to go to hell? Does Pandemonium, the world of demons, appear the moment you enter?

I felt oppressed.

ㅡParts suit!
ㅡParts suit!
ㅡParts suit!

At the same time, brilliant brilliance began to emanate from the weapons of the Paladins and me. It is a Holy Enchantment that can be used jointly by any church. Priests and nuns also created spheres of light while chanting spells.

“Attack!”

ㅡWaaaaa!!!
ㅡHaaaaa!!!
ㅡoh oh oh oh!!!!!

At the same time as the attack signal was dropped, the paladins charged like beasts and started pounding swords and hammers toward the gate.

“Verde!”
“Destroy!”

ㅡQuaang!
ㅡChang!

“Fuck you.”

It was a rather bizarre sight. Every time the weapon, shining with holy brilliance, hit the gate, a sound like hitting a wall echoed.

ㅡPerfume!
ㅡPerbung!

Priests were not alone. I gathered their brilliant energy and fired it towards the gate. The sphere that touched the gate did not get sucked into the inside, but exploded and dealt damage.

What?

The attack is being eaten.

I thought that everything, whether it was a blade or a divine spell, would pass through the gate, but the paladin was smashing the unrealistic gate with only a sword and hammer.

Will physical attacks work?

Perhaps the attack was possible because the divine power and the energy of hell were at odds.

I thought they would close the gate with some kind of spell or ritual, but I never imagined they would try to break it in such a violent way.

“Winia. Quickly shoot the magic.”
“I wanted to try it anyway.”

ㅡHurt!

Fire bolts created at the moment were shot towards the gate. However, it did not do any damage. The fireball passed through the gate and entered.

“According to the records! They say you need divine power to destroy a gate like this! Normal attacks won’t work!”

Right!

ㅡCome on!

Cloudy, who instantaneously created a sword skill, cut through the gate. With that, Gate’s waist was severed. The severed gate soon turned into black smoke and scattered.

“What, what are you doing?”

What is this

“The gate was destroyed!!!”
“Waaaaa!!!”
“Long live Verde!!!”

I ended up winning before I could catch up with the situation.

Was it natural because it was defenseless in the first place and it was a surprise attack? At least I thought it would be a fierce battle, but this was easier than just destroying the Lego plane that the kids worked hard to make.

“Wow, wow. Long live.”

I awkwardly cheered and congratulated myself on the victory.

“Hmm, I heard it’s Demon Gate, so it’s not that special?”

Cloudy rolled her eyes suspiciously.

“…Is that so?”
“Wouldn’t it be nice if it wasn’t dangerous?”

Winia noticed that it was good.

However, things went too easily.

Rather than being happy, I became wary. Even if the demons don’t roll their heads, there must be a reason for making a fixed gate here…

Well, it would be nice if it was just destroyed.

“Brothers! After the hard struggle of the brothers, we succeeded in destroying the gate of the demons! Now, the demons will not come over! If we defeat the remnants, we will be able to establish justice!”

As the gate disappeared, black smoke remained.

The Paladins and Priests paid attention to it and burst into cheers. Anyway, if morale has risen, there is nothing better than that.
