Chapter 614 – Damn Three-Way Battle -1-
─ Barbatos…! Get out!
A firestorm spewed out by Naberius’s right head along with Ilgal.
Barbatos turned his shotgun like a windmill to block the rushing flames.
Hwaaaaa! The flames of corruption disperse.
Barbatos’ gray hood came off, revealing ferocious eyes that were a mixture of a devil and a bird of prey.
The spirit of Barbatos having a snowball fight with Naberius was unusual. It was difficult for anyone to see him as an ally.
─ Shut up, you single-celled poop puppy. It’s not something I like.
Although I was tempted by the price given by the demon god, I accepted it, but two great demons had to deal with one human.
What kind of honor-shattering insult is this?
Moreover, the humiliation did not end once.
Adding to the shame of not being able to kill a human with a single shot, even though he was a transcendent, Barbatos was in the worst mood.
It was a painting showing the cracks in his dexterity in killing Phenex, one of the past 72 demons, with a single blow.
─ You came into this area of my body and brought such shame… If you interfere, I will kill you first!!!
Naberius also suffered a deep scar in his pride.
The attack came at a time when humans were allowed to attack, so it seems like the flow was intentionally interrupted.
─···.
Barbatos sighed and shook his head.
Look at that snarling three-headed dog. Just looking at it, Naberius is in a situation where he can’t talk to the demon god.
‘Throwing me into this mess, is that human such a big threat to the demon god?’
The eagle’s beaky eyes stared at its target, a human.
Barbatos knows.
The demon god, the creator of Pandemonium, is good at negotiation and management, but has a low understanding of physical conflict.
He shuns force and violence, saying they are too barbaric for someone with the karma of creation to deal with them directly, but he uses them as a means.
I don’t know what the demon god was thinking and how he summoned me.
Barbatos, the transcendent, made one thing clear.
No matter how sweet the conditions are, it would be a huge mistake to think that the archvillains would unite and join hands because they have a common enemy called humans.
‘Just as that thing is both human and not human, we are also devils and not devils.’
The great devils who survived the 72 Demon War were no longer people who would play into the hands of the Creator.
Slam!
Barbatos did not respond to Naberius’ threat and pointed the shotgun at Roman.
Anyway, those ignorant three-headed dogs are the type of person with whom you can’t communicate.
There is no need to strain your mouth to make them understand.
You can just kill that person and leave leisurely, or if you feel like it’s bothering you, you can make a deal with Naberius here as well.
“Look at these?”
Roman raised the corner of his mouth at the gaze directed at him and the muzzle of the gun.
Thanks to quietly listening to the conversation, I was able to roughly understand the situation.
‘How should I roll it?’
Are we going to provoke Naberius here and create a muddy fight called a three-way war?
Or will we deal with the great evils that cannot be combined at once?
It was clear that these two matters were a concern for Roman.
But.
No matter how you handle this situation, there is one thing that is more certain than anything else.
‘We have to deal with that gunner in the distance first.’
You will have an advantage if you kill the great evil that is aiming at you with a shotgun.
Unlike the archer who only sees Roman himself, Naberius does not hide his fierce hostility towards the bird of prey.
From Roman’s perspective, now was the best time.
‘Quick resolution.’
As quickly as possible, but without haste.
Just as Agares was the first magical transcendental person he encountered, a demon named Barbatos was also the first type Roman encountered.
Even though he doesn’t know the details of his opponent’s abilities, now that he has tasted the destructive power, Roman knows that it is dangerous to hit him in a straight line.
At the same time as we started thinking, the route was planned in advance.
Puzzle!
Roman’s body, which had completed its transformation into thunder, kicked the ground.
A ray of thunder draws a dizzying line using the surrounding trees and rocks.
─Human!!! Where are you going with this Naberius in front of you!!!
Naberius chased after Roman, pounding the ground.
─ Shooting lightning to hit it… It’s not a particularly difficult task.
Barbatos moved the shotgun and calmly aimed at Roman.
There is no need to kill the percussion sound.
The shotgun swallowed the owner’s will and mana to create a spinning bullet.
‘Ignore that stupid three-headed dog.’
The Great Devil stared at the dark red trail narrowing the distance at an insane speed.
Barbatos, who was calmly observing it, shifted his aim in an instant.
Taang!
A bullet that bends and flies as if it has a will.
Roman lifted his Rakshasa at an angle and deflected Barbatos’ bullet.
‘Hoo? They say he killed Agares, but…’
It would not be easy as the speed was fast and the angle and destructive power were abnormal, but it was a great control and skill.
So how do we prevent this?
Last chance before that human reaches you.
[Phenix]
A bullet that symbolizes the great evil of the past killed by Barbatos.
Bang! At the same time as the shotgun made noise, pitch black flames formed the shape of a huge bird and flew towards Roman.
Rumbling──!!!
Roman’s quick response continued as if he was waiting for the next time.
A thunderous sound sounded, and a dark red lightning struck, causing a Phenex and an explosion.
Roman pierced through the thick smoke and came right in front of Barbatos’ beak.
─ Chet.
In the end, access was allowed.
Barbatos clicked his tongue and swung his shotgun butt.
If you can’t even struggle when the distance is narrowed, you can’t be called a true shooter.
Jjaeaeng───!!!
The shotgun blocked the Rakshasa without being cut.
Barbatos was astonished at the fact that his shotgun was scratched, and Roman also widened his eyes at the durability of that wooden stock.
‘That black…?’
‘What is that gun?’
He was proud of his weapons, so surprises did not come easily.
Still, there is no reason to remain idly by.
What follows is a battle that lasts less than a second.
Visor! Whip! Fit!
The fierce rush of blades and chains makes Barbatos take a step back.
A threat that makes you realize that the high-ranking devils that the great devils have under their command are not worth wasting time on.
─ After all, a gunner must be a gunner. Close combat is not my style.
Barbatos throws away his gray robe that has become a rag due to a fleeting contact with Roman.
Ignoring the painful stab wounds, he pointed his gun at the floor and fired.
Pooooo!
A shock wave that forcibly creates distance.
Barbatos tried to aim the shotgun at Roman, who was closing the gap again.
─ I will chew you both up!!!
Naberius, who arrived one step late, threw down his body and joined the fight between the two.
A huge beast destroys everything around it, spits fire, and goes on a rampage.
─ This stupid three-headed dog…
Like Roman, the Archdemon who is confident in his footwork and speed is Barbatos.
Barbatos, who had no choice but to put down the shotgun due to Naberius’ rampage, deformed his body.
Whiuuu──.
One of Barbatos’ specialties is weathering, not thunder painting.
Unlike Roman, who becomes the thunder itself, he becomes a wisp of wind and moves his position.
Even though the speed itself is pushed by Roman, the fact that it moves without sound or presence is an advantage suitable for a shooter.
It continued like that.
They were busy checking each other’s attacks.
Naberius spouted flames with his three heads as Roman and Barbatos were seen.
Roman pursued Barbatos persistently, and while Barbatos was aiming at the approaching human, his hands and feet were busy dodging the sword attached to his chain and even blocking Naberius’ attacks.
Melee.
Even though some time had passed, and the surrounding area had become a mess, there was no sign of a definite tilt.
As a transcendental person that everyone calls powerful, he had enough stamina and mana that there was no problem even if he was swayed by his emotions.
In the end, the person who breaks concentration is likely to be the fastest dropout.
Since Barbatos has decided to kill the humans and kill Naberius as well, the decisive battle will not end even if Roman dies.
The firepower became even stronger, engulfing even the pillars of fire that Naberius had erected like a fence.
Barbatos adjusted to Roman’s speed with the eyes of a bird of prey and began to aim faster.
Roman discovered the distribution of white flames to effectively deal with the flames of corruption, and reached the point where he sent bullets flying at Naberius.
In a chaos that lasted for several hours.
None of the three were out of breath. No one was fatally injured.
They are ready to fight for months or even years.
‘Such a long-term war cannot be allowed.’
Scream!
Roman pulled Gleipnir, which was holding the Rakshasa, and made a clanging sound.
This opened the door to a three-way battle that reached its limit.
[Opening the mind’s door]
It’s so scary!!! The dark red color engulfs part of Pandemonium and deteriorates it.
Even when the control of space was tilted, the Great Demons did not panic.
He smiled with confidence that everything went well.
Barbatos, flashing venom in his beaky eyes, struck the ground with the butt of his shotgun! I hit it.

Opening the mind’s door.
The flames of the three-headed dog Naberius contained corruption and spread at maximum power.
─ Opening the mind door!!!
The three dominant powers play tug-of-war to create space.
Another world created in Naberius’ nest.
Something has arisen that not even the devil can peer into.
