Disciple of The Three Kings [EN]: Chapter 480

Gulp.

Forzia showed signs of tension, unlike a lord who had long protected and maintained a territory.

“…….”

Her lips were dry, and she kept licking them with her tongue, her eyes darting around….

“She’s such a country bumpkin.”

-Such a country bumpkin.

She looked like someone who had just left their village for the first time.

Partisan and Nidhogg.

“Don’t copy me.”

-You’re the one copying me.

The two were growling at each other.

Partisan, a handsome man with white hair and eyebrows, and Nidhogg, who had shrunk to the size of an adult man’s fist, growling at each other was a rare sight.

Also.

Kugugugu!

Considering that the two were demonkin with titles, close to the level of candidates [powerful beings vying for a higher position].

Kururung!

The two’s growls were not just a small squabble between them, but were even affecting the surrounding environment.

And there was only one thing that could stop it.

“Stop it.”

Lee Rowoon.

At his voice, who could be called their master.

“Tch.”

-Hmph.

The two turned their heads and moved away from each other.

They were two who had not acknowledged Lee Rowoon as their master.

However, Lee Rowoon, who had even awakened the power of the Demon King….

“You monster.”

-Monster master.

The two could no longer deny it.

Of course, all of this was only frightening to the lower demonkin and devils.

Looking around, looking around.

Forzia was busy looking at the world outside the territory she had never seen before.

Tadak, tadak.

Pajira was just leading his steed forward, repeating the same action.

Lee Rowoon.

Swoosh.

He was similar to Forzia.

He looked around, taking in the scenery of Gehenna [a hellish realm].

After falling into Gehenna, he had briefly seen it when heading to Forzia’s territory, but this was the first time he was properly taking in the sight of Gehenna.

‘This is my teachers’ hometown.’

The hometowns of the two, Sword King and Martial King, were torn apart and disappeared.

Although the Blood King’s Castle and the Empire remained, their appearance was completely different from the past.

However.

“Here….”

Forzia.

“Nothing has changed.”

After ten thousand years, the outside of the territory was unchanged.

The green meadows, the desert that came after them.

Everything was the same.

“It’s only natural.”

Pajira said as he led his horse forward.

“Everything in Gehenna is perpetual to the world and does not change.”

The scars on the earth created by Forzia and Lee Rowoon’s fight, and the huge traces created in the battle with Incubus, had all disappeared without a trace.

“Until the day Gehenna is destroyed….”

Gehenna does not change.

So Forzia was able to see her past memories.

“…….”

Lee Rowoon was able to see his teachers’ hometown.

And what had changed.

Kukuku!

It wasn’t just the scenery of Gehenna.

* * *

Pajira’s army stopped.

Accordingly, Pajira, Lee Rowoon, and others also stopped.

“Are they enemies?”

Partisan, sensing something, said in a quiet voice.

A large group of beings was approaching this way.

“They are devils.”

Pajira said.

Gehenna had not changed.

However, there were things that died and were born even here.

The energy that filled Gehenna was always the same, and even if candidates or demonkin devoured each other and ate their power, the excess energy remained….

Kwaang!

It was how they were reborn.

Such dregs.

They were devils who had lost their reason.

“There are about fifteen hundred of them.”

Also, they constantly repeated destruction and regeneration, eating the dregs of Gehenna and growing.

Becoming stronger, and stronger.

It was an unstoppable law of the world, and….

“It is the reason why Gehenna is heading towards destruction.”

It was the reason why Gehenna was bound to perish.

Someday, as more time passed.

‘In Gehenna, which has become stagnant, there will be an immeasurable amount of dregs.’

Some of them would eat them and….

“A noble-class devil….”

They would be born as even more powerful beings and erase everything in sight.

One of those kinds was Balrog [a powerful demon].

They had lost their reason and had only the instinct for destruction and slaughter, but they were devils who had at least stepped into the realm of transcendence.

“This is the reality of Gehenna.”

Pajira’s army formed ranks as if they were used to it, and Pajira spoke to Lee Rowoon, who was not familiar with Gehenna.

“The land of Gehenna has already been occupied by countless devils.”

And they were carrying out meaningless destruction and slaughter.

“Forzia thinks that all the deaths of the candidates are just infighting among themselves, but….”

Kwaaa-!

With a thick cloud of smoke, they finally began to reveal themselves.

“……!”

Even though their huge bodies were nothing special as they were the symbol of devils.

“Balrogs… how many are there?”

As Partisan said, there seemed to be more than a dozen Balrogs at the front.

If those things had fallen on Earth, Earth would have already become a sea of fire.

Eun or Einheart, the players would have had to join forces for survival instead of engaging in useless discord and competition.

The problem was.

“That is….”

Something even more gigantic was revealing its body behind them.

The enormous thing was.

“A Colossus?”

It was so large that it was reminiscent of a Colossus [a gigantic statue or being].

The large Balrogs looked like children, but what was larger than the Balrogs was not just their size.

Kwaaa-!

The energy pouring out as the clouds parted.

A power greater than that of dozens of Balrogs combined was pouring out from the Colossus.

“A Demon God.”

Pajira said.

Other candidates or demonkin called that being a Demon God.

“They operate outside the territories and do not approach the territories, but they are also called hunters for those outside the territories.”

What they hunted were not small beasts.

They were powerful demonkin.

They were beings that sensed magic power and craved it.

“Many candidates have died at the hands of the Demon Gods.”

Pajira looked at Forzia.

“The reason your brothers and sisters left the sanctuary was not only their desires, but also those things.”

A story about the truth that Forzia did not know.

That the candidates sacrificed themselves to go outside the sanctuary to prevent the destruction of Gehenna.

“Why… didn’t you tell me?”

Forzia said.

“Because someone has to wait without knowing the truth.”

Pajira’s answer.

“I’m not going to say that our mission is more noble. Waiting in one place for ten thousand years is also an incredibly noble thing to do.”

“But…!”

Fighting and dying on the battlefield.

At least.

“The words….”

“If it were you.”

The current candidates had gone mad or changed over the long years.

He did not deny the fact that there were beings who had abandoned their past appearances and intentions and were only craving power.

Like Incubus.

However.

“Would you have stood still while your brothers and sisters were in danger?”

They were brothers and sisters born from one being.

“You would have been even more eager to go.”

Even she would have abandoned the sanctuary and gone out.

“If not, you would have suffered and gone mad there for the rest of your life.”

“…….”

Forzia bit her lip tightly.

The blood that oozed out.

But it was an undeniable truth.

“She was a princess.”

Partisan’s one word.

That defined Forzia.

“You are….”

Pajira did not deny it either.

“Because you were more like your mother than anyone else.”

After saying that, he turned his head.

Pajira’s gaze fell on the huge Colossus and the group of devils.

The devils, who in the past were merely treated like beasts under the control of the demonkin, had broken free from their shackles and began to hunt their masters.

Although the masters who had lost their power were killed by the strengthened wild dogs.

“My king.”

Among them, there were those who had also become wild dogs and had not stopped growing.

“May I go?”

Pajira was such a wild dog.

Pajira, whose presence alone was overwhelming.

However, he had not yet shown his power to Lee Rowoon.

Not daring to compete with Lee Rowoon.

“I beg you.”

Pajira spoke as if he had been waiting for this moment.

“Go.”

Lee Rowoon could not refuse his request.

“Your command….”

Pajira’s voice seemed to tremble.

Ten thousand years.

The master’s command that he had finally heard after waiting for so long.

It was for Pajira, who had decided to become a wild dog himself.

Whirr-!

It was a word that allowed him to live again as a knight, not a beast.

“I shall obey.”

It was a word that allowed him to live as a noble demonkin.

Pajira, holding the reins of his horse.

His whole body and the steed he was riding began to blaze.

In the next moment.

Paat-!

Pajira disappeared from his spot and, while still on his horse, beheaded two Balrogs.

* * *

Pajira’s skill was truly overwhelming.

Starting with instantly beheading two Balrogs, known to be among the highest of the devil species.

-All troops.

The dignity and voice of a monarch.

-Advance.

The moment it echoed across the battlefield, it was as if thunder and lightning had struck.

Pajira’s tens of thousands of troops instantly moved forward, cutting down and tearing apart the devils.

The army was as if their purpose was to hunt devils, relentlessly and skillfully cutting down the enemies.

Demonkin.

Pajira’s army, hunting devils like machines without any emotions, was a sight that even Partisan, who had seen many things, found chilling.

-Rear ranks, begin the hunt.

Pajira was not only skilled in his own martial prowess.

With his outstanding ability as a commander, he ensured that there were no mistakes in the devil hunt through absolute command.

Perfection.

And finally….

Kwaang!

Pajira clashed with the Colossus called a Demon God.

The Colossus, which was less than one-hundredth the size of Pajira, collided with Pajira.

Ggrrrk!

It slowly began to retreat.

“This is….”

Forzia’s voice echoed hollowly.

“The life my brother sent me.”
