Episode 143 Dark Cloud Demon (2)

[Melee Spy: The Dark Cloud Demon is at a different level from the Night Stalker Demon]

[Melee Spy: According to the game settings, he appeared as the first devil. According to mythology, it is the position of the creator god.]

[Close-in spy: You guys believe in only one god, Malak, and are trying to fight that being.]

The first devil. Demons are Loa from another world, so in this world, he would be in the same position as Rakan.

I heard before that Rakan was the first Loa. It was said that he was the king of the grasslands who led a pack of wolves and ruled a territory larger than the current empire.

However, this does not mean that Rakan is a creator god. He is simply the first person to become a Loa.

That tale is also a legend passed down by word of mouth among barbarians, so it may contain some truth.

[Close-in spy: I told you that those loa creatures are very suspicious, right?]

Perhaps thinking that I was ignoring my silence and not replying, the close spy changed the subject.

[Close spy: Think about it. These are the guys who did nothing while the world was like this. They are fucking bastards who just watched.]

Now I know why the Loa except Jinmalak did not come forward.

You can find the answer just by looking at the Nightstalker Demon.

Even Lake, who had attained some level of divinity, could not have been assured of victory if it were not for Daguri, or rather, ‘group cooperative battle.’

High-ranking demons are people who can threaten even gods if they regain even a little bit of godhood.

Why were the Loa silent? It’s simple.

[Close-up spy: Why did you just watch? It’s because I don’t have the confidence to beat the devils]

That’s right.

Aren’t the Dark Cloud Demon and the Seven-Headed Dragon Demon, who are stronger than the Nightstalker Demon, holding on like crazy?

This is not a game that can be won just by one or two Loa appearing. Because not all loa are as strong as Jinmalak.

They calculated that if they fight against the demons, they will also suffer great damage. You probably didn’t want to take the risk of failure.

The message from the close-quarters spy continued.

[Close-in spy: Five years later, the god Malak suddenly descended. It’s random. Isn’t it right to think that they are not trying to help us, but that there is someone else out there? Niche market strategy, maybe something like that]

Loa Tuga, the incarnation of Asha, is that kind of person. After seeing my success, he probably entered the game with the thought that he could raise his status even a little more.

Perhaps the manifest Loa that Charon defeated also had similar thoughts as Tuga.

They are despicable opportunists whose means and methods are no different from the devil.

[Close-in spy: What if you are trying to negotiate with the demons by sacrificing all of you?]

[Melee Spy: What if you were to offer up the high-ranking paladins who were wandering around and being a nuisance on a platter?]

Thank you for your concern. However, the premise itself is wrong.

It is not Loa who is trying to save this world by establishing a tribal alliance and collaborating with the paladins.

This is ‘Ultra Sanz, who goes crazy in annihilation mode on a moonlit night.’

And…

[Malak is different]

It’s real. Malak is different.

If the Dark Cloud Demon is the god of creation, Malak is the god of destruction.

Why did I say that I would subdue the dark cloud demon as soon as I gained the incarnation? Because he is confident.

Malak is a being on a different level from the Loa who only paid attention to demons because they had no confidence in defeating them. The reason Jinmalak stayed still was because he was looking for a way to descend to the ground, not because he lacked strength.

I used ‘Imperfect Appearance’ to kill a shadow demon, a high-ranking demon. They didn’t just kill it, they unilaterally played with it and then killed it. The fight itself was not established.

Even Charon or the Dark Cloud Demon will not be able to defeat a high-ranking demon so easily.

Of course, I couldn’t say it straight away. You don’t know what the price will be.

[He voluntarily came down from heaven because he loved the people here]

[Close-in spy: Have you been brainwashed?]

Even if the kid speaks honestly.

[But]

[What’s the difference between you and those Roa who are watching?]

I’m going to give him a little nudge just to wake him up.

[Close-up spy: ?!]

[He said he was the #1 ranked user. You even caught a high-ranking demon by yourself. You have the ability, so why don’t you act?]

The reply came a few minutes later.

[Close-in spy: Because it is beyond my capabilities. No matter how hard I struggle, I can never win.]

[So you were giving up?]

[Have you seen that seven-headed lizard baby in the capital?]

[Cowardly bastard]

[Close-in spy: You don’t know them]

[ㄴㄴ]

[Now I know something]

[Close-in spy: … ]

[After knowing everything, I decided to fight]

I heard from the saint the identity of the devil and the story of Shamishir, the evil god.

It may not be as good as a close-range spy who has memorized the dungeons and patterns of high-ranking demons, but it is still important to know the root cause.

[I never ran away even for a moment]

I admit it. This is false. But it’s half true. At least since I decided to fight, I never ran away.

[How long do you plan to run away?]

With great power comes great responsibility.

This comes from a superhero movie I enjoyed watching as a child.

I awoke as the god of a ruined world, and steadily moved forward, believing in the potential and possibility of the totems and Loa I possessed.

[Don’t run away]

Even when I witnessed the frighteningly overwhelming dark cloud demon, even when I realized what my ultimate goal was, and even when I was in a desperate moment due to Charon’s attack that (probably) ended the Wanggui, I did not give up and continued towards the Wanggui until the end.

It’s not that I never had a mental breakdown, but I somehow recovered and faced the reality I was faced with again.

After all the hardships, I finally achieved the manifestation.

[Let’s fight back]

Of course, my situation is different from that of a close-quarters spy. No matter how hard a melee spy with the maximum level limit of level 10 tries, it will be difficult to have a fight with a dark cloud demon.

Still. If you don’t give up and sharpen your skills, you might be able to take a hit.

You could have continued the subjugation without giving up until ‘4-5 max level paladins’, which is the minimum condition to face the Dark Cloud Demon, were gathered.

Even though you have so much information, hidden pieces, and powerful weapons, you give up midway…

I could understand him, but I couldn’t admit it.

No, I didn’t want to admit it. Princess Dina, who is weaker than this guy (probably), is also fighting hard. I didn’t want to admit that his heart was broken even though he was in an advantageous position over others.

[Close-in spy: … ]

[Close-in spy: Don’t you think it’s absurd to be forced to fight?]

Why did you suddenly change your tone again? Are you a person with multiple personalities?

[Unfairness]

Of course.

[Absurd]

Goddess, evil god, loa, devil… Everything sucks.

[But so what can you do? Are you going to go see your mom? Are you going to cry like a child?]

You can’t do that.

[I will fight]

It’s not a story I started, but now that I’m involved, I’m planning to see it through to the ending.

That will help ease my stomach.

[I will survive tenaciously and beat those unreasonable monsters]

Now I have the strength to do so.

[Close-in spy: … ]

I don’t know what you’re thinking. There is no way that a close-quarters spy will change his mind just because he listens to what I say.

[Rachel is looking for you]

Still, you should try.

[Close-up spy: What?]

[Symphonia’s Secretary Rachel]

[The woman you saved]

[Close-in spy: … You were alive]

[Close-in spy: Is she also in the tribal alliance?]

[ㅇㅇ]

[Close-in spy: … ]

[I praised you a lot for being an honorable and courageous person]

[Close-in spy: … ]

[‘…’ Is prohibited]

[Close-in spy: … ]

This guy is real.

[Now let’s show ourselves honorable and brave]

I said everything I could. The choice is ultimately up to the close-range spy.

– …

As soon as the Dina Special Forces arrive, they will immediately begin subjugation. There are about three days left.

I watched the believers busy preparing and waited for the close spy’s answer, but it never came.

***

A platinum-haired paladin and her five paladin followers joined the tribal alliance. It was the appearance of the Dina Special Forces.

“It’s been a while, Malak.”

Dina, standing in front of her, knelt down and bowed her head. She sees Dina rolling her eyes behind her.

Short red hair. Sharp eyes and a cat-like face. Even their eyes look around to see if they are looking for me.

Hannah, nothing has changed except that you’ve gotten a little stronger. I held back the laughter that was about to escape and opened my mouth.

– Paladins, welcome to the Tribal Alliance.

Lakhe spoke the next words for me.

“Are you ready to become a believer?”

“That’s right. We will all serve you, Malak.”

She persuaded Dina by telling her through a private message that she could get various buffs if she served Malak. Like Dina, who considers practicality, she accepted right away.

Good. Now all the members have gathered.
