Chapter 277: Things are hard for former members of the Demon King’s army

The champion Zakkart reached out to the evil gods who had been treated poorly in the Demon King’s army. He told them that if they betrayed the Demon King Guduranis and joined his side, they would be accepted.

Many evil gods accepted that offer. As gods such as Merrebeveil, who was a powerful god among the tentacled gods, betrayed the Demon King, gods whom Zakkart had not reached out to followed suit as well.

The gods who had already left the Demon King’s army became known as gods of Vida’s faction. However, those who would go on to become the gods of the underground world of Gartland were still a part of the Demon King’s army at this time.

Zakkart had been unable to reach out to every single evil god. And even though he was a champion, he was unable to differentiate between evil gods who held reasonably high positions in the Demon King’s army and had inner doubts and thoughts of rebellion against Guduranis’s ways, and evil gods who did not.

The members of the Demon King’s army did not have friendly relationships with one another, so Merrebeveil and the others who betrayed Guduranis were also unable to invite the gods of Gartland to join them. The gods of Gartland were also unable to leave the Demon King’s army on their own to follow in the steps of the other traitors.

In their surprise and bewilderment at the betrayal of their allies, they missed their opportunity to do so, and before they knew it, the Demon King Guduranis had tightened his grip on the organization of his army. On top of that, they learned that the gods who would later become known as the gods of Alda’s forces were hostile towards Merrebeveil and the other former gods of the Demon King’s army.

Such information was clear, during a time when Guduranis was fiercely tightening his control over his army. Before they could gather the resolve needed to leave Guduranis’s army at the risk of having their souls destroyed if they were caught, they lost the will to do so.

And the war between the champions’ army and the Demon King’s army grew fiercer with the destruction of Zakkart and the other creation-oriented champions at the hands of the Demon King. The war included many battles that were fought mainly in the sea.

The subordinate gods of the Goddess of Water and Knowledge Peria, and the demigods who were well-adapted to being in the sea, fought against the aquatic evil gods lurking in the depths of the oceans that Bellwood and the others could not easily deal with.

Marius, the God of the South Sea, who had the appearance of a man with a burly figure, fought against Jafar, the Evil God of the Crimson Sea, who had the appearance of a twin-headed shark. At the exact same moment that Marius’s harpoon pierced Jafar’s heart, which was at the base of his necks, Jafar’s fangs tore a gaping wound in Marius’s torso. They struck each other down simultaneously. With such an outcome, both gods would lose their strength and be forced into a slumber lasting for tens of thousands of years.

Job explanation:

Vengeful Berserker

A Job that can be acquired by someone who has acquired the ‘Scream’ Skill and has reached a certain Level with it. It provides a bonus to the ‘Scream’ Skill, and also makes it easier to acquire Skills such as ‘Singing.’ In Vandalieu’s case, his lack of singing talent is so great that it cannot be made up for even with such a bonus, but he has become more proficient in producing sound effects.

It provides bonuses to Strength and Stamina, as these are needed to project one’s voice, but little to Agility. As a standalone Job, it is quite a questionable choice.

The superior form of the Job, Rudra, exists, but this Job cannot be acquired without strength approaching the realm of demigods (upper-A-class adventurers or S-class adventurers in the case of humans).
