Descent of the Demon God Chapter 192: Arisha’s Armor (3)

Chapter 192: Arisha’s Armor (3)

Marquis Irene’s left eye could see one’s power level.
Right now, she is looking at Chun Yeowun’s power.
[9,650,000]
His power level was so high; it was almost 10 million.
‘N-No way could this happen….’
The first person she looked at using her ability was Chun Yeowun. At that time, the number was strangely low. It was 10, which was usually the case for ordinary humans.
‘He hid his power….’
The first thing that surprised her was this. Her abilities were entirely accurate. Even if one tried to hide it, her ability would still figure it out. However, that didn’t happen this time.
‘Just what power is….’
The second surprise was his overwhelming power that completely surpasses humans—a figure that slightly exceeded the 10 Dukes of the clan.
“Irene! Did you really see it correctly?”
Duke Bevman asked in a voice of disbelief. He really thought that she was wrong. However, Marquis Irene couldn’t say anything more.
‘At this number, it might be comparable to the Grand Duke.’
She once had an audience with Grand Duke Kaliaf, a demon higher than her father. Unable to contain her curiosity, she used her ability. He almost caught her, but she saw it go over 9.99 million in a brief moment.
When the number exceeds 1 million, it usually increases slowly one after another, like a timer.
“Hah!”
Papak!
Duke Bevman unexpectedly and violently pushed Duke Ludwig away. Duke Ludwig, who is in a daze by Chun Yeowun’s power, couldn’t stop him.
Duke Bevman, who pushed him away, moved towards Chun Yeowun.
Phat!
“I don’t know what you did, but there’s no way a human being can have such power!”
Duke Bevman could never admit it.
Humans had been nothing but bugs and insects to their clan since ancient times. Now, such a bug was more powerful than him?
Wheik!
A sharp wind blew from Duke Bevman. Although the place was small, he was aiming for a close range, and he made sure that his power wouldn’t touch his demons, and only Chun Yeowun’s subordinates were affected by it.
Kwakwakwang!
It ripped apart the ceiling and floor.
The moment came that he was about to hit Chun Yeowun…
- yah!
A sharp cry was heard.
Something huge and golden obscured his vision.
Wheik!
Duke Bevman tried to strike the golden light, but it instantly neutralized his power. The golden light stopped everything and prevented any aftermath from the room.
Papak!
Then the golden light that neutralized the attack wrapped around him so fast that he couldn’t even respond.
“Kuak! W-what is this?”
It wrapped around Duke Bevman like a rope. He thought it felt weird.
‘Hair?’
What wrapped around him was golden hair. The already surprised Duke Bevman then heard a woman’s voice.
“Now you’re trying to touch my Chun Ma?”
He looked where the voice came from. It was from a naked woman with golden hair. Her arms were folded, and she looked at him arrogantly. She was the Golden Gumiho.
‘This woman?’
The weird energy which humans couldn’t possess. The Golden Gumiho looked at him with narrowed eyes and warned.
“If you don’t yield to Chun Ma, I will eat you.”
Grunt!
Duke Bevman’s face distorted. He had power over demons.
And this one wants him to bow?
He yelled furiously.
“Eat? How dare you try to spout such things to a Duke who is higher than your race?!”
Goooo!
The Duke’s power increased. Something resembling human blood was coming up to his face disgustingly.
Seeing that, even the faces of the demons who were kneeling tensed.
“They spoke the wrong words.”
“You made him awaken. Idiots.”
It can be said that they were already more robust than humans. But awakening helps them be twice powerful.
Tutu!
Two long horns sprouted from the forehead of the Duke. The reason people call them demons was because of this awakening.
Duke Bevman, whose skin was turning white, spoke coldly.
“Woman. You made a huge mistake. The awakened Duke’s power is too strong. A lower race like you can never….”
Crack!
“Kuaaaak!”
Before he could even finish speaking, the golden hair wrapping around the body of Duke Bevman tightened. Her power was so strong that only a scream came out of the Duke’s mouth.
‘H-how is this possible?’
Duke Bevman couldn’t understand it. He tried to rip off the tail, but the more he tried, the tighter it got.
“Kuaaak!”
His face contorted in pain. Marquis Irene, who couldn’t look at him suffering like that, was in disbelief.
“H…how is this? Even if it was like that….”
The number that her left eye sees contains the fighting power of the Golden Gumiho.
[6,830,000]
‘How…’
She was at a loss for words as the power exceeded the Duke's.
She didn’t know that this wasn’t the full power of the golden fox. How would she react when the fox turns into her original form, which is more powerful than her current form?
Shhh!
Black smoke flowed out from the mouth of Duke Bevman. It seemed like just a bit more push, and he would die.
“Pa… Papa.”
Irene helplessly called for him. She visited earth several times but never once had she seen such monsters.
The fox who lived from ancient times and Chun Yeowun who had exceeded the level of humans…
They were all unimaginable beings on Earth!
“That is enough.”
Chun Yeowun stopped the Golden Gumiho that was going to kill the Duke.
“Why? It isn’t done yet. He is so cheeky. I need to kill him.”
“There are things I need to hear from him.”
At those words, the Gumiho smacked her lips.
“This one sure is lucky. Let’s meet later.”
Shhh! Thud!
“Kuak!”
She pulled back her tail, and the Duke fell like a doll. After his awakening ended, he was back to his normal state, and he seemed too shocked at what happened as he lost his will. His awakening was useless.
“And now you.”
Chun Yeowun looked at Duke Ludwig.
This Duke was also standing except for Shakena, who wasn’t forced to kneel.
Shakena looked at them with a puzzled expression.
‘What now?’
One side was someone who assisted the Demon King, and the other side was the master she swore allegiance to. It was hard to choose.
“Mast…”
“Stay silent.”
At Chun Yeowun’s words, she realized that she should never involve herself until this matter was resolved.
Duke Ludwig, who was being vigilant, spoke.
“This is extraordinary. I never thought there could be a strong man among humans other than him.”
‘Him?’
Chun Yeowun’s eyes shone.
Then this demon meant that there was someone like him around?
Duke Ludwig continued.
“Human potential isn’t less to the clan—a being who doesn’t live for more than a hundred years to be so strong.”
He genuinely admired Chun Yeowun, and he even praised the Golden Gumiho.
It was because the Golden Gumiho even made the proud Duke Bevman aghast.
“Stop saying such things.”
With that, he lifted his sleeve.
Chachacha!
The black wrist guard on his wrist disassembled and changed into the shape of a sword. It was the Sky Demon Sword.
Duke Ludwig’s eyes twinkled after seeing the transformation.
“Arisha’s Sword!”
The reason he showed interest was simple; it was because this was the best sword among the seven weapons of Arisha.
“Do you know this sword?”
“Yes.”
“Then tell me everything you know so I can spare you.”
At those words, Duke Ludwig’s eyes sharpened.
He was one of the four powerful demons.
Duke Ludwig’s pride was greater than Duke Bevman's. However, he didn’t lose his cool because of everything he had witnessed.
“Human. It is a treasure of our clan.”
“I know that much.”
“Then you must know that it isn’t something which should be here, right?”
“I don’t think so.”
“What?”
“It is something which came into my possession… and this sword isn’t Arisha’s Sword that you say; this is the Sky Demon Sword, a sacred item of our cult.”
At that, Duke Ludwig thought it was absurd.
“You are too much.”
“Should I show it to you?”
The atmosphere was so intense that a battle could happen at any time. Everyone who witnessed it gulped and stayed silent while watching, not wanting to be involved.
Duke Ludwig looked at the gumiho and then at Chun Yeowun. He was analyzing the situation.
The fact that he was analyzing despite seeing what happened meant that there was something else he could use. Then he spoke.
“Human, I will make an offer.”
“Offer?”
“If you give me that treasure, I will grant you what you want—for example, dealing with the things which currently control the sky on earth or goods worth 10 million gold. Or prolong life? Whatever it is, I will listen.”
Duke Ludwig tried to make a deal. Even if there was a chance to fight, he didn’t want to get into it.
To which Chun Yeowun said with a smile.
“Is that so? Then, will you all swear allegiance to me? If you say yes, then I will think about it.”
“What?”
This time, Duke Ludwig’s expression hardened. He tried to take a peaceful way out, but this human kept pulling his leg.
In a low tone, he asked.
“Are you looking for a bloodbath?”
“Things without blood shouldn’t say such things.”
Grunt!
The more the talks went, the angrier he turned. He really did want to avoid getting into a fight, but it seemed like this human was asking for it.
“You are overconfident about your strength.”
“It isn't overconfidence; it is reality.”
“Sigh.”
Duke Ludwig sighed and took a deep breath not to lose his composure.
He spoke as he clenched his fists.
“I admit that you are strong. However, there is a saying in the world that there is a sky above the sky. Do you know why I, a Duke, am assisting the Demon King?”
“Should I even know it?”
“… I’ll tell you. When demons of Marquis level or higher will awaken, that awakening will double the power.”
“So?”
“Awakening isn’t the end.”
With that, Duke Ludwig spread out his palm and covered his face. At that moment, a tremendous wind pressure arose.
Crack!
So strong that even cracks formed in the building.
“You crossed a line you shouldn’t have. Us four Dukes obtained the power to advance to a second awakening from the Demon King. That power…”
He lifted the hand which covered his face. And his face changed into a different one.
This was different from the human form; it is also different from the awakened body of a demon.
The nose, hair, eyebrows, everything to define a human face had disappeared except for the red eyes and the mouth.
Duke Ludwig, who had a bizarre change, raised his mouth into a smile and said.
“We are of Grand Duke level.”
Woong!
The entire building shook as if an earthquake was happening right below it.
“Ahh!”
Marquis Irene couldn’t take off her trembling eyes. She was at a loss of words at Duke Ludwig’s power.
‘Twelve million!’
The rise in power was exponential. She thought he would be so powerful since he assisted the Demon King, but not this much.
‘Is this why no one recklessly touched the Grand Dukes?’
Now they realized why no one went against them.
‘Phew.’
Duke Ludwig stared at Chun Yeowun.
He couldn’t hold it any longer since he was angry. Although he spoke with pure confidence, he wasn’t confident enough to control this power because it wasn’t a natural strength of a Grand Duke; this was just a temporary boost.
‘Need to finish this in 10 minutes.’
That was it. With this power, he wasn’t scared of failing.
“Human. You will have to do your best. Even I cannot control this power….”
Creepy!
In an instant, he weirdly felt chills in his body.
Slash!
‘!?’
Suddenly, something passed through his neck.
It was a very sharp sense and so quick that no one recognized it.
A black line appeared on Duke Ludwig’s neck.
“Kua…th…this…. What…”
Bewildered, he tried to hold his shaky neck with both hands. He couldn’t even understand what had happened to him.
Chun Yeowun said.
“I did my best just as you asked.”
Then there was the scream which seemed to tear everything apart.
“KYYAAKKKK!”
Marquis Irene, who was witnessing this scene, screamed as her left eye suddenly burst.
