Chapter 619 – Gyeonghwasuwol (鏡花水月)

“Whoa, Amon just happened to come too.”

Not long after Baal appeared at the demon’s summons.

Amon, the great devil with the owl’s head, appeared flapping his huge wings.

─···.

Even though the two great devils face each other, they do not even exchange a single word of conversation. They don’t even exchange glances.

There is no need to mention the strange thing that occurred on the Demon God’s face.

They know that silence is golden. They also know that the person who will fulfill their wishes is a devil god, so they just keep their mouths shut.

“We can talk now.”

The demon god sees Baal and Amon waiting for him to open his mouth.

I told the truth with a little satisfaction.

“Naberius and Barbatos are dead.”

The two are quietly listening. There is no special reaction.

The demon god frowned at the pain lingering in his one blind eye and provided additional information.

“They didn’t die fighting among the great demons, but they were hunted by humans who invaded Pandemonium and the two were destroyed in the same place. Do you understand?”

Only then did interest pique, as Amon’s shadow and flames flickered greatly.

The swords floating around Baal made a clanging sound and rotated sharply.

─ Hmm, humans are the great devils…

─ What kind of person are you?

The voices of great devils showing curiosity.

The demon god, who was thinking of a plausible explanation, had a rising day and cast his eyes on Baal.

“Baal must have seen the human who attacked me before in the image of the goddess.”

─···!

The swords that were moving calmly thudded in the air! It stopped.

Baal seems to have remembered the man accurately. Amon did not ask any additional questions, as if there was no interest worth asking twice.

“Anyway, I want you two to go ‘together’ to kill that person.”

─ It is enough to go alone.

─ Same thing.

Aren’t these great devils more proud of their own power than anyone else? The demon god was expecting a backlash like this.

He brightened the mood with a smiling face.

“Actually, it’s not because I don’t trust you that the two of you are moving together. There’s a good reason.”

─ What if you say it’s a reason?

─···.

“I have always thought that Baal and Amon should be rewarded for the loyalty they have shown so far. As their creator, I have been waiting for such an opportunity and day.”

The demon god made a light voice as if this was an opportunity to reward the two who protected his honor and pride.

It clearly attracted the attention of the great devils. Any sense of opposition was already completely dead.

“If Baal and Amon do their best to kill that man and my honor is preserved…”

The great devils’ eyes lit up in anticipation of the devil’s words.

Because he was wishing so openly, the demon god hesitated to state this condition out loud.

The moment you hand this over, it is no different from releasing half of the leash you were holding.

‘But.’

I have to do it now. This is not the time to be frugal, like in the first response.

The emergency of pandemonium has arrived for the first time, and we must mobilize all the means we have.

‘···I’m saying.’

The demon god suppressed the feeling of hemoptysis and forcibly raised the corners of his mouth.

“I will give each of them the dimension I have.”

Although unprecedented conditions are mentioned, expectations are erased and distrust abounds in the creatures’ gaze toward the Creator.

A feeling of discomfort in one’s intuition when biting into something.

The demon god read those emotions that were clearly visible.

He continued talking behind his back as he saw that the true devils were doubtful and did not believe what he said.

“I have no intention of giving them a flawed dimension and then making a fuss about it. Let’s give them the world they each had their eyes on.”

─ Are you sure?

─ Finally…

Once a covenant was made and a clear direction was set, Baal and Amon only then began to show motivation.

Seeing that, the demon god continued to think positively to soothe his sore stomach.

‘···Anyway, when you have a dimension, there will be a day when you need my help.’

No matter how excellent a transcendental person they are, the position of the creator is one that inevitably involves trial and error.

That’s why there are moments when you desperately need advice from someone who has walked the path ahead.

‘At that time, all you have to do is hold the leashes of the two again.’

In any case, it is a loss that will be compensated in the long run, just as the demon god has finished self-hypnosis.

‘!?’

The creator felt an unexpected change coming to his world, Pandemonium.

He ordered Baal and Amon to guard his side.

*****

“Ah~ It’s refreshing.”

Roman came out of his mental state and stretched her legs.

Even though my body doesn’t need sleep, I slept soundly. Thanks to you, my mind is clear and refreshed.

I feel like I was born again.

‘There are no more prying eyes…’

How can I bring out that demon spirit that is hiding in my mind?

Roman began to worry.

Even if you force it, just like the goddess easily banishes demons and great demons from her mind.

Even demons will be able to expel themselves.

‘If they get all the way in there, I guess a way to suppress them with speed before expelling them would be a good idea.’

There are many ways that come to mind. However, most of them have a strong gambling nature.

I feel like if I were to face the demon in person in its current state, I would be able to gauge it in more detail.

‘Oh, who is that guy?’

Roman looked around.

Gabor, a demon with a variety of information, could not be seen as a vehicle. Did he run away because Naberius’ pillar of fire disappeared?

“Tsk.”

It’s unfortunate, but if it’s your choice, what can you do?

Roman stood up and started moving Mana. Because a sure way to summon the Creator came to mind.

‘If it’s difficult to find it, you have to come out yourself.’

Roman decided to purify this dimension with white flame until the moment the demon god appears of his own accord.

Hwaaaaa───!

Starting from Roman, pure white flames spread like ripples.

A sharp increase in mana with a single enlightenment, and clean management, depth, and control that do not allow even an inch to be wasted.

The pure white flame began to devour hell, biting and attaching itself to everything, including the barren and unclean land, air, trees, demons, and energy.

“It has good firepower.”

There is no mercy for the perfect transcendent who has finished his sweet sleep.

No matter how vast it is, isn’t the world itself a great firewood? With each passing second, a part of hell is being eaten by Roman.

“That’s right.”

Come on! Scream!

Roman, who was spreading mana endlessly while appreciating the Raksha and Nir who were floating around her and acting cutely, cast his gaze to one side.

Unidentified groups are approaching Roman, the center of Mana.

‘He’s a devil, but he’s not a transcendental person?’

Instead of the big fish I was targeting, it was small fish.

Still, isn’t it really rewarding to have made it this far?
Roman decided to welcome his guests.

─ This is a human!? Where did you escape from?

─ Is this an attack now that Amon is away…

─ It’s stupid, because our master, Baal, is away.

─ Don’t be a jerk. I’ll have to kill that person and kill you too.

Although she is using up all her mana to withstand the white flames, demons have appeared who are unable to hide her pain.

The concentration of the white flame that devours the dimension is significantly lower than usual because the emphasis was placed on spreading it as widely as possible.

Most demons will die, but there are some that barely survive.

‘It was called Amon and Baal…’

Roman pondered the names he heard in their conversation.

The last great devils left in memory.

There is no way for Roman to know the details of the identities of those demons, but he can guess them through conversation.

According to Roman’s reasoning, the group that appeared were high-ranking demons who were given names by Baal and Amon.

These are the demons that are currently considered to be the next great evil in Pandemonium.

‘Hmm, is there anywhere I can use those?’

Let Roman continue his thoughts and sit still.

─ Foolish things, no matter what that person is, there is no change in the fact that they must be killed.

One of the high-ranking demons ground his sharp teeth and pulled out the long sword hanging from his waist.

And lower your posture.

Tung!

The devil kicked at the ground where the white flames hung and rushed at Roman.

Peeping! The blade swings and draws a neat trajectory.

─ I cut it!

The voices of the demons watching. Roman glanced at the group and smiled coolly.

And kindly correct it.

“It wasn’t a cut, it was a cut.”

─ !?

A solid line appeared over the body of the approaching devil.

According to logic, it is naturally cut into pieces and falls down.

─ Ah…?

You can look at a flower reflected in a mirror or the moon reflected in water, but you cannot catch it.

The devil, who took the initiative and charged in, felt that way from Roman.

It is truly Gyeonghwasuwol (鏡花水月).

Fit!

With those words, the bodies of the high-ranking demons who were watching were torn into pieces and poured out.

No matter how much Roman thought about it, there was only one use for these.

It is enough for high-ranking demons to become corpses and become firewood to burn hell.

··

··

The point at which more than half of hell was stained pure white as it burned brightly.

Roman raised his eyebrows at the taste of the big fish that he finally felt.

I collected white flames for concentration.

“I almost died of boredom.”

The demon god, the creator of Pandemonium, and the two transcendental gods who protect him, Baal and Amon.

They appeared nearby.

─···.

Roman raises his gaze at the sight.

The large size of Amon, the great devil with the owl’s head, was the first thing to be seen.
