Disciple of The Three Kings [EN]: Chapter 477

Thud!

A chilling sound echoed from Incubtera’s neck.

One rotation.

If a human’s neck had turned like that, they would have died instantly from the injury.

However.

‘Kueueuk.’

Incubtera was not a human but a demon.

Swish!

Among them, he was a powerful being known as a Marquis of Annihilation.

The head that had turned snapped back into place in an instant.

‘Hoo!’

Incubtera exhaled.

The injury didn’t seem severe, but his face was filled with astonishment.

‘How did you do that?’

Incubtera tilted his head slightly, expressing his question.

‘How…’

His eyes, the third eye, were shining.

‘Did you interfere in the territory war?’

What was happening now was the territory war between Forzia and Incubtera.

Originally, no one could intrude or interfere, and even if it were possible, only a noble with a title could intrude by wagering their territory.

A rule.

Right now, Lee Rowoon had broken the world’s rules and attacked Incubtera.

At that moment.

Wham!

A roar like an explosion erupted from Incubtera’s stomach.

Lee Rowoon’s fist, imbued with demonic energy, was embedded in Incubtera’s stomach, pushing it back.

‘Indeed, you are my teacher.’

Lee Rowoon said, grabbing Incubtera’s head with one hand.

Foreheads met.

Lee Rowoon’s two eyes and Incubtera’s two eyes were looking at each other.

‘It wasn’t just words.’

Lee Rowoon recalled what had happened earlier.

The teachers had left him legacies.

So that he could be recognized as their rightful successor.

-The Martial King’s Heavenly Demon Divine Art, Blood Demon Divine Art.

With that, Lee Rowoon was recognized by the Blood Cult, becoming their Blood Demon, and also the Heavenly Demon, establishing himself as a Divine Demon.

-The Sword King’s Ring of the Emperor.

Also, in Einheart, he had obtained absolute command comparable to an emperor through the Ring of the Emperor.

And….

-The Demon King’s Demonic Core.

The Demon King’s Demonic Core, this was the most ambiguous.

It was a demonic core obtained as a vessel and seed to become the Demon King, but it had not yet bloomed, so it could not be fully recognized.

Also, to become the Demon King….

-You must be recognized by the seventy-two demons and the demon race.

He had clearly heard such conditions through the system voice.

The black orcs he had taken in.

In that way, the qualifications of the Demon King were awakening, but he thought it was still far off.

‘It wasn’t that complicated.’

Lee Rowoon was able to realize it in the ruins of Beze.

From the legacy left to Forzia.

What was there was the core of Beze, the former castle and sanctuary of the Demon King.

Also, there….

Woong!

The core of Gehenna existed.

‘Th-this is…!’

Incubtera’s eyes, which had been looking at Lee Rowoon as prey, widened.

-You….

The voice of Berzena echoed.

-From now on, you are the Demon King.

Complex conditions, qualifications to be met.

Such things were.

[Awakening as the King of Gehenna.]

All meaningless.

The only true condition.

‘This, this can’t be…!’

Stepping on the land of Gehenna, making contact with its core.

With just that.

Whoosh-!

Lee Rowoon was able to awaken the power of the Demon King.

A surging aura.

From within the black light.

Slam!

Lee Rowoon’s hand shot out and grabbed Incubtera’s neck.

And soon.

Swoosh!

Incubtera was sucked into the black light and disappeared without a trace.

‘……!’

Incubtera’s subordinates could do nothing in that spot.

Each one of them was a demon with a noble title, but all their titles and powers had been taken by Incubtera, leaving them as mere shells.

These beings.

Wham!

[You cannot interfere in the territory war.]

They were beings who could not interfere in the noble and sacred territory war.

‘……!’

They stared at the black light with disbelief.

In their ears.

Crack! Crack!

A grating noise echoed.

* * *

The core of Gehenna in Beze.

The moment he opened the demonic core there.

[You can awaken the power of the Demon King.]

The complex conditions and qualifications to become the Demon King all disappeared.

From the beginning.

-You are the Demon King from now on.

Berzena was such a being.

The Martial King, who thought that one could only gain qualifications by training their body and enduring hardships.

The Sword King, who thought that one could only gain qualifications by undergoing trials with nobility and sacredness.

The Demon King.

-Power is not like that.

Was different.

-It is given from the beginning. Whether you can become a being with power or not.

She was always concise and clear.

Her thoughts and plans may have been complex, but there was always simplicity within them.

-The strong survive. That’s right.

A warm yet seductive smile.

-Those who survive are strong. That is also right.

In the end, what was important was.

-Power. And I am giving you my power.

Those words were not wrong.

It wasn’t martial arts, swordsmanship, circles [magic circles], or anything like that.

The Demon King was from the beginning.

-It’s my demonic core.

She had carved her demonic core and implanted it in Lee Rowoon.

After that, what Lee Rowoon had done was to wield the power of the demonic core, nurture that power, and see what he could do with that power.

Also, through that power.

Whoosh-!

It was a way to weave together what had been mere individual parts.

And now.

Sway.

The black light that had enveloped Lee Rowoon and Incubtera began to flow down like a viscous liquid.

Soon, what appeared was the large back of something.

‘True form…!’

It was the true form of Incubtera, his original form.

It was the original form of all demons, the body that could exert the greatest power.

Rather than a demon….

-A devil.

A form closer to a devil.

It was a state where the greatest power could be used, but at the same time, the most dangerous.

-Annihilation.

A dangerous form where everything could be lost in an instant was the true form.

Slowly, more black light poured out.

And the scene that was revealed was.

‘……!’

It was enough to bewilder Forzia and Incubtera’s subordinates.

It was empty.

Incubtera’s large back was hollow, empty.

Where there should have been bone blades and dirty skin, there was only a large hole.

Gurgle.

Nevertheless, Incubtera’s wounds were healing.

And.

Wham!

An explosion erupted from the hole.

A red and black light.

It was something he had seen before.

-God-Slaying Magic.

The ultimate, worst, and strongest technique of the Demon King Berzena, the God-Slaying Magic.

‘Ah….’

Incubtera.

He said as he collapsed.

‘I was arrogant.’

The drool that had been flowing from his mouth had stopped.

Also, in his eyes, which had been craving with hunger….

‘Welcome.’

There was a deep joy.

‘Master of Gehenna.’

Thud!

The massive body collapsed and slowly scattered.

His skin, blood, power….

Crumble.

It went into the ground, into Forzia’s territory, towards Beze.

The wounds all over Forzia’s body healed in an instant, and a brilliant light poured out from Forzia’s territory.

[The territory war has ended.]

The voice of the world echoed for everyone to hear.

[The winner is Forzia.]

The voice announcing the winner.

[By the winner’s qualification, Incubtera’s territory is annexed to Forzia’s territory….]

The endless voice of the world was like a lie.

[Forzia succeeds to the Marquis title.]

Whoosh-!

A bright light flowed out from Forzia’s entire body.

For the nobles of Gehenna, a title promotion was like an evolution.

Forzia would shed her current body and take another step forward.

Also.

[Forzia’s territory is….]

The system voice did not end.

[King of Gehenna….]

It was then.

Zzzzzzt-!

With a noise that tore at the ears, the world’s message that had been visible to everyone began to scatter.

As if it were all a momentary mistake.

Zzzzt!

Everything began to return to its original state.

[Is annexed.]

A message with something missing.

But what was important was that the territory war had ended.

* * *

In Gehenna’s territory war, the winner takes everything.

The title and territory that the opponent had.

And….

‘I will pledge my loyalty.’

Even the territory’s people.

Incubtera’s subordinates, whom Incubtera had brought.

Each one of them was a predator no different from a noble with a title, and they knelt before Forzia and spoke.

Thud!

They turned their heads and slammed their foreheads on the ground, saying.

‘My King.’

A royal title.

It was a title that had not appeared in Gehenna for a long time.

The target was naturally Lee Rowoon.

However, Lee Rowoon seemed to be checking his own changing body condition.

Forzia was the same.

‘…….’

Her appearance had changed a lot.

The dress and veil that had covered her entire body had disappeared, and her appearance in light-looking white armor was.

Scoff.

Ironically, it resembled an angel.

Step.

Lee Rowoon approached her.

At that, Forzia stopped checking her condition and.

Thud.

She knelt down.

Her original form was created by the will to protect Beze, Forzia’s territory, and to follow her mother’s will.

But now, her appearance, which had changed with a new title, was.

-A knight.

Not someone who had to protect the territory, everything, but a single being.

‘I pledge my loyalty.’

It could be said to be a form of loyalty towards Lee Rowoon.

Forzia was smiling faintly.

Her noble voice flowed out slowly.

‘My King.’

And.

‘The legacy given to you is not Beze.’

Lee Rowoon said.

Because he thought he knew Berzena a little by being with her.

Also, because he was connected to her power and everything, he could tell.

‘The legacy given to you is.’

If it were her.

‘It’s me.’

That would have been it.

The legacy given to the being who had protected the will of her, for ten thousand years, would be her true successor.

Also.

‘The legacy left to me is.’

The legacy that Lee Rowoon had received was the Demon King’s Demonic Core, Gehenna.

It wasn’t just those two things.

Looking at Forzia’s changed appearance, he could tell.

It was her.

The last legacy left by the Demon King.

‘Just how far did you think ahead?’

Forzia, who was even more like her.

‘You are also a legacy left to me.’

She was also a legacy given to him.
