“Human.”

The Demon God’s Evil Eye exuded vicious energy. It was utterly unacceptable for someone to look down on the Great Demon King.

Especially if that someone was a human.

Shhh!

The Demon King looked at Chun Yeowun. A strong feeling of pressure suddenly arose from above, trying to weigh down the human.

“Master!”

Grand Duke Kaliaf exclaimed in shock. A massive black hand appeared over Chun Yeowun’s head, attempting to crush him like an insect. Chun Yeowun swiftly grabbed his sword.

Woong!

A huge invisible sword with a faint black color appeared above Chun Yeowun’s head and blocked the enormous black hand that was about to crush him.

Pang!

A tremendous wind sprang up all around them as the two forces collided. It was more than enough to draw the attention of those fighting around.

The Demon King’s eyes then shone.

‘He isn’t an ordinary human.’

The ability he displayed wasn’t something a human could stop. Even Grand Duke Kaliaf, who was known to be the strongest of the Grand Dukes, was caught by the hand and couldn’t move.

“Are you really a human?”

The surprised Demon King Taura asked.

Before Chun Yeowun could even speak, Duke Joseph, whose lower body was shredded, shouted in pain.

“Taura! This is the Larisha you were afraid of. You will have to come down from that throne you took by breaking the law!”

“Larisha?”

The Demon King’s eyes turned cold as he looked at Chun Yeowun’s face while unable to decide what to make of Duke Joseph’s claim. Then he laughed out loud, believing it was absurd.

“Do you think that this King cannot recognize Larisha?”

Duke Joseph tried to refute the Demon King’s denial, but something huge appeared beneath him before doing so.

Swosh!

“T-this!”

Something black, gigantic, and round opened its mouth wide and tried to swallow him. Duke Joseph, whose injuries were so severe and hadn’t regenerated yet, was quickly caught and eaten.

Chun Yeowun used his invisible sword to stop it, but it was already too late.

Puck!

The sword was stuck inside the sphere.

‘I couldn’t even feel it.’

Chun Yeowun’s eyes darkened. At that moment, a squeaking sound came from inside the enormous black sphere.

Phat!

Chun Yeowun moved near it and then used the stuck sword to slash it.

Slash!

This time, it wasn’t just the invisible sword, but a black line split the sphere.

Pak!

The swallowed Duke Joseph was released afterward. As if it was a mouth, he looked like chewed food as his form now looked horrible, and his skin looked so dry like all the moisture he had left was drained.

“Kuaaak!”

“Duke Joseph!”

Grand Duke Kaliaf couldn’t hide his concern. With this degree of injury, it was dangerous even if his nucleus wasn’t damaged.

The Demon King approached Chun Yeowun.

Paaah!

At that moment, a green-lighted pillar of fifty meters in diameter with a foul odor fell close to Chun Yeowun.

‘Poison?’

The poison and green light were Duke Joseph’s ability.

Chun Yeowun quickly swung his sword.

Chak!

The pillar of green light immediately split and fell to the ground.

“Ugh!”

“U-Up!”

A commotion began underneath them. It was okay if they were the only ones there, but there were members of the cult right beneath them and some demons as well.

“Phew.”

Chun Yeowun stretched out his hand to the bottom then a black hole appeared, pulling in the parts of the pillar that was falling.

Shhh!

“Pretty good.”

Suddenly, the Demon King appeared in front of Chun Yeowun and pulled his fist at him. At that moment, the space twisted like a whirlwind.

‘Unification of energies?’

It was similar to Chun Yeowun’s technique. The Demon King gathered his might into a fist capable of twisting the space and punched Chun Yeowun in the chest.

— wooo!

A roaring sound was heard as if an explosion had happened. With that, Chun Yeowun bounced off like a ball. He flew almost a few hundred meters. Chun Yeowun’s crossed wrists were severely trembling as it was the first thing to receive the impact to reduce the damage he could get from the attack.

Chun Yeowun’s eyes turned serious.

‘Slightly above the Grand Duke level.’

Demon King Taura didn’t just randomly wield his fist; he knew how to use his demonic powers perfectly, like how Murim warriors use their qi.

It has been a really long time since Chun Yeowun’s body received some damage.

Dudu!

The sound came from the cracked bones in his wrists being put together. This is because Chun Yeowun had tremendous regeneration ability because of the absorbed cores of the Spirit Beasts and Nano.

Pak!

Chun Yeowun sprinted through the air.

Shrr!

At that time, the Demon King appeared right before him again. The speed of his movement was enough for him to also be called a Wind God.

“Your name is Larisha? He would feel ashamed if he heard it.”

The Demon King laughed and tried to kick Chun Yeowun. During the kick, the wind around them seemed to gather, and once again, it felt like the unification technique Chun Yeowun wields.

As the kick was aimed at him, Chun Yeowun drew the sword towards the Demon King’s leg.

Slash!

A black line appeared as Chun Yeowun’s counterattack. The Demon King quickly twisted his body to avoid it, so the black line only appeared behind him, slashing nothing.

‘He avoided it?’

This was the first time this had happened — a situation where the Supreme Sky Demon Sword Art was avoided.

The Demon King kicked Chun Yeowun on his shoulder without giving him a chance to react.

Pang!

However, Chun Yeowun managed to avoid it, and the pressure from the leg that was used to kick him went above.

He then tried to pierce the forehead of the Demon King.

Swish!

The Demon King struck Chun Yeowun’s wrist with his other foot.

Pak! Slash!

With that, he was able to redirect the black line that was aimed at him.

Shhh!

The Demon King disappeared from there and appeared several meters above the line. Then he pretended to clasp his hands while looking at Chun Yeowun.

And then…

Woong!

Huge black hands appeared from left and right as if trying to clap some mosquito. Chun Yeowun stretched out his swords using both hands.

Tak!

After that, the two huge invisible swords arose and stabbed the giant black hands which were trying to crush Chun Yeowun.

Shhh!

Meanwhile, the Demon King appeared from the top and tried to kick Chun Yeowun again.

“You are done.”

The Demon King stated his notion, deciding it was his victory. Contrary to his belief, there was no reason that Chun Yeowun couldn’t stop it.

“What nonsense.”

Paaang!

Chun Yeowun motioned to kick his enemy with unified energies. The leg he used to attack collided with the Demon King’s leg that was also about to hit him. When the two kicks, which were of the same manner, clashed, the clouds in the sky were instantly pushed out.

“Hah!”

A smile crept across the Demon King’s lips.

Thanks to Chun Yeowun, who fights on the same level as him, a strong desire for victory replaced the other emotions.

The Demon King’s hand and feet moved quickly.

Papapak!

Of course, Chun Yeowun responded to it.

Papapapa!

They hit and blocked the attacks by moving freely in the air and reading the others’ attacks. Each time that happened, the clouds would move. Since they were exchanging attacks with the unification technique, it was no less than a fatal blow.

“Oh my…”

“The human is fighting on an equal footing with the Demon King.”

The demons who were watching this from below were lost in thoughts. He was the Demon King who was nothing less than a God for them. However, they saw such a God fight with a human who was supposed to be below them and should not have been able to fight on equal footing.

“What an insane fight.”

“…it isn’t a human’s fight.”

This was also true for the members of the Sky Demon Order.

The battle they are witnessing has an outstanding level of power that couldn’t be compared to the battles of the Murim warriors. Each time the two collided, thunder, lightning, and clouds cracked down.

“Father.”

Chun Yu-jang approached Chun Woo-jin, the Lord. While looking at the sky, he asked,

“Is Ancestor alright?”

“…”

Chun Yu-jang was worried about it, and Chun Woo-jin couldn’t answer him.

He firmly believed in their Demon God, Chun Yeowun, who was a legend in the Sky Demon Order, but the existence from the Gate was a monster that humanity had never faced.

The confrontation between the two beings was already on another level, to the extent that they thought it was a war between the gods.

“I am only certain of one thing.”

“Uh?”

“The fate of the cult—no, humanity—is at stake here.”

“Humanity!”

The confrontation in the sky which was happening was like a thunderstorm.

It was telling that this destruction wouldn’t end with just the Sky Demon Order.

“Lord…”

Chun Yeowun’s three subordinates: Hu Bong, Mun Ran-yeong, and Baekgi, who were also in the warm below, held their breaths as they looked up at the unfathomable fight.

They had absolute faith in Chun Yeowun, yet their faces weren’t confident as this was a scale of fight they had never experienced.

‘For Lord to fight this fiercely.’

This wasn’t Chun Yeowun’s usual style.

Looking at the fight above, the Demon King and Chun Yeowun moved and collided where there was no time to think of a plan or breathe, and the two couldn’t even be seen with the naked eye.

A single attack would have taken down a mountain if they were on the ground.

‘A slight mistake in the fight….’

There will always be a difference between winning and losing, and a sight they had never seen before might unfold.

It might be the defeat of Chun Yeowun, the Demon God.

“It could be dangerous… Hu Bong.”

Upon hearing that, Hu Bong shouted at Baekgi’s words.

“What nonsense! Our Demon God doesn’t lose to a Demon King! Ugh! Our Lord will win!!”

Hearing Hu Bong’s cry, the cult members began to cheer.

“Demon God! Demon God! Demon God!”

The cheers, which came one after another, spread throughout the Yongchun Group.

Cheering boosts morale. At that, even the demons under the Demon King began to shout.

“Demon King! Demon King! Demon King!”

A battle between their heads.

Their shouts which were cheers of support, couldn’t be heard by those above.

Both the ones above couldn’t hear the screams as they were focused on their battle.

Paaang!

The two clashed their fists and bounced back. The Demon King’s eyes were much sharper than before. Rather than winning, the fight, which constantly extended, was hurting his pride.

Looking at Chun Yeowun, he said,

“You are pretty good for a human. You are the first to fight like this against me other than Larisha and Talisha.”

“Same here.”

Chun Yeowun responded briefly. It was also the first time he had seen something this strong.

It had been a long time since he had a fight where he couldn’t miss his concentration.

‘But this isn’t his full power.’

The Demon King hadn’t awakened yet.

It was right for Chun Yeowun to kill a monster like this before he used Advanced Awakening, but the opponent could dodge the Supreme Sky Demon Sword Art.

‘It is fine. An enemy who can avoid that sword….’

The world is wide—the Demon King has proved that the single sword which could destroy everything wasn’t invincible.

Then the Demon King spoke again to Chun Yeowun.

“I can see why Larisha was obsessed with humans. Good. I’ll give you a chance.”

“Chance?”

“An honor for you to become the right arm of the King.”

At that chance which was presented, Chun Yeowun laughed.

The words that came out of Grand Duke Kaliaf’s mouth were the same.

“Are you seriously laughing right now?”

The Demon King’s expression went stiff with displeasure. With that, Chun Yeowun shook his head and said.

“You need to be stronger than me to be able to say something like that”

The Demon King suddenly laughed at his words.

“Kuahahahaha!”

The Demon King, who laughed like a crazy man, immediately reached Chun Yeowun. Quickly, Chun Yeowun used the sword to defend.

Then suddenly, a certain energy in Chun Yeowun’s head had scattered.

‘This?’

The Demon King smiled at it.

“Did you think that this King who fought you will be unaware of the power you possess?”

“…”

“It is something I passed to the three Grand Dukes.”

One of the scattered abilities was the Advanced Awakening that Chun Yeowun absorbed from Ludwig.

At the moment when it scattered, Chun Yeowun immediately noticed.

“I can call back my power at any time. If you left that as the trump card, then you are mistaken. And…”

Demon King Taura waved his hand at Chun Yeowun, and a shadow opened regardless of Chun Yeowun’s will.

As he pulled something….

Swoosh!

They were weapons of Arisha. They were the wheel, the staff, and the spear that were kept.

Then he continued speaking.

“You aren’t even using the most powerful weapons you have. Human.”

Chachacha!

As soon as he said that, the wheel, staff, and spear disassembled, turned into armor, and went to the Demon King’s body.

A strange cry came from the armor that the Demon King wore.

— kirrrrrrrkikrkkkkkkk!

It was a painful scream. The Demon King looked at Chun Yeowun’s wrist and leg with dark eyes.

He was eying at the rest of Arisha’s weapons.

“I don’t know how you, a human, got that. However, they are the treasures that only the King, like me, can handle and exert their power. It is only through me.”

Shhh!

As he reached out, Arisha’s weapons on Chun Yeowuns screamed.

— Kikiikkkkk!

— Kyaakkkkk!

They were screaming as if they were desperate to escape, and soon enough, they were dismantled.

Chachacha!

One turned into a whip, and the other turned into a blade, then quickly flew to the Demon King and turned into a wrist guard and an ankle guard.

It wasn’t something they could stop. However, the Demon King’s expression turned strange.

He motioned to pull one thing.

‘Why?’

A single weapon didn’t come back to him. It was the right wrist guard, the sword.

“Come here.”

The Demon King tried to pull it again.

Woong!

And the black wrist guard changed into a sword. Seeing that, the Demon King smiled.

However…

Chak!

It moved to Chun Yeowun’s hands as it turned into a sword, not to him. The Demon King couldn’t understand it.

“Why?”

In his reaction, Chun Yeowun looked at the sword in his hand. They called this as Arisha’s sword, starting with the Demon King, but it wasn’t that for Chun Yeowun.

“Sky Demon Sword.”

Woong!

At Chun Yeowun’s call, a clear resonance sounded from the sword. As if it was answering its master’s call.
