Chapter 922

KUUUUUUUUUANG!

With a deafening roar as if the world itself were crumbling, the demonic energy undulating in the sky tore open a new dimension.

From within the dimension, split long like the mouth of a serpent, pitch-black demonic energy poured forth. It was as though the tree of darkness itself were extending its roots toward this world.

UUUUUUUUNG!

The already dense demonic energy grew even thicker, creating a pressure that squeezed the heart. The flow of demonic energy was so overwhelming that everything around seemed to dissolve into darkness.

“The Black Tower Master….”

I bit my lip as I watched the Black Tower Master standing before the Gate to Demon Realm. The demonic energy that had seemed capable of destroying the world had vanished, yet strangely, he felt even stronger than before.

‘Silent Spirit World, was it?’

The Silent Spirit World magic the Black Tower Master had used moments ago was not merely about opening the Gate to Demon Realm—it seemed to grant special power to the demons within this space as well.

“The, the Gate to Demon Realm has opened….”

Greer, who had been holding back the demonic beasts and demons outside the tower, widened his eyes.

“Is that truly the case?”

His jaw trembled as he spoke, not even bothering to wipe the blood flowing from his forehead.

“Yes.”

I nodded calmly as I looked at Greer and Owen’s knights.

“That black current swirling in the sky is the Gate to Demon Realm.”

I raised my finger to point at the black dimension that had opened in the heavens.

-To think the Gate to Demon Realm would be opened from the Human Realm first….

Wrath let out an absurd laugh, as if the very notion was ridiculous.

-Truly, he’s a madman. He isn’t even thinking about the consequences at all.

He scoffed, suggesting that the Black Tower Master had dung instead of brains in his skull.

‘Is it really that dangerous?’

I exhaled heavily and turned my gaze toward Wrath.

-Of course! Even if not quite the True Demon King, Demon Lords of immense power or monstrosities could suddenly burst forth. And if that gate were to explode, everyone here would perish!

Wrath glared at the Gate to Demon Realm, his expression twisting.

-The fortunate part is that the gate remains incomplete. Or rather, it was made so it could never be completed.

He shifted his gaze toward Chamber as he spoke, his eyes gleaming with considerable admiration.

‘Would Demon Lords themselves not emerge, rather than merely Demon Lord-class beings?’

Fighting weakly powerful demons seemed far less appealing than roasting the Demon Lords themselves.

However, Sloth was sleeping atop a mountain, Gluttony was making the rounds at the Ice Cream Shop, and Rust was lost somewhere—making it highly probable she wasn’t even in the Demon Realm.

‘That leaves three, then….’

Envy wouldn’t appear, and the remaining two absolutely must not come here.

Wrath’s name held no sway over Grid and Pride. Perhaps Envy would listen, but if those two appeared, I’d need to consider retreat.

“The Gate to Demon Realm….”

Burren’s lips trembled, as though his eyes couldn’t believe what they were witnessing.

“Right. Since we’ve come this far, we should test ourselves against demons.”

Martha licked her lips with evident anticipation.

“It should be fine….”

Lunan pushed back the biting demonic energy and soothed the anxious Gwangpung Hall swordsmen.

“To be precise….”

Chamber gazed at the Gate to Demon Realm undulating like waves and shrugged her shoulders.

“It’s an exit to the Demon Realm.”
“An, an exit to the Demon Realm?”

Jeina, who had descended to the ground belatedly, knelt on one knee and swallowed hard.

“That’s right. You can’t enter through it, only exit.”

Chamber chuckled, explaining it was a one-way passage.

-The old woman speaks truth, she does.

Wrath nodded as he observed the Gate to Demon Realm undulating with increasing intensity.

-‘Tis a half-formed gate—one cannot traverse from here to the Demon Realm, yet from the Demon Realm, one may emerge here.

He licked his lips as if disappointed by something.

“Did you create it that way, Chamber?”

I narrowed my eyes as I looked at Chamber.

“Yes. After you entered the tower, I deciphered some of that bastard’s incantations.”

Chamber nodded, explaining that she had read the Black Tower Master’s thoughts and formulas, then wove in a spell that would interfere with them.

“You read his thoughts as well?”
“Yes. That fool opened this gate intending to flee to the Demon Realm if your grandfather arrived while we fought here. So I blocked his escape route.”

She wagged her finger, remarking that the Black Tower Master’s thoughts were far too predictable.

“Ah, but wouldn’t it have been better to prevent the gate from opening entirely….”

Dorian blinked, as if questioning why they hadn’t simply prevented the Gate to Demon Realm from manifesting in the first place.

“That’s impossible. They were far better prepared on their end. It was already difficult just to prevent them from coming out.”

She bit down on a candy, saying that erasing the escape route had been the best she could do.

“Of course, this isn’t everything.”

Chamber chuckled, mentioning that she had removed one more pillar from the Silent Realm.

“Then we have one more task to complete.”

Karun exhaled sharply and gripped his sword tightly.

“Closing the Gate to Demon Realm. Severing the Black Tower Master’s head remains the top priority—that won’t change much.”
“Right. That doesn’t change.”

Chamber nodded approvingly, impressed by Karun’s composure even in such circumstances.

“The Black Tower Master is….”

She was about to add more when it happened.

Kiiiiiiiieeeeee!

A bizarre sound echoed as if thousands of humans were screaming simultaneously, and the sky stained itself pitch black.

Craaaaaack!

The Gate to Demon Realm split wide open, and a jet-black dragon wreathed in darkness burst forth. It was on an entirely different level from the crude demonic beasts seen until now. It radiated a terrifying aura as if a true Dragon had materialized.

Roooooaaaaar!

The black dragon unleashed a magnificent roar as if declaring dominion over this world, gazing down upon the humans on the Battlefield.

“Noisy.”

Chamber’s eyes narrowed as she flicked her finger.

Booooom!

The black dragon’s neck was torn away from the middle, and its massive body began plummeting toward the Battlefield.

Kuwaaaaang!

The black dragon, seemingly killed instantly, fell without control of its body, turning all the Dark Tower’s demons into mere chunks of flesh.

However, the demons’ invasion was only the beginning. Demons of various forms I had never seen before began opening the Gate to Demon Realm and descending.

‘Are those demons from the Demon Realm?’

I narrowed my eyes as I observed the demons.

‘They’re not that different from the Dark Tower’s demons.’

Unlike the black dragon that appeared first, the demons emerging now didn’t seem particularly strong.

-As you say, they’re weak ones.

Wrath nodded calmly.

-The real ones are watching this place from within the gap of that gate.

He furrowed his brow, saying that once he gained confidence in devouring this land while observing, he would descend.

“There are that many types of demons?”

Burren swallowed hard as he observed demons, each with completely different forms.

“Damn lizard bastards! They show up whenever they feel like it when they’re not needed! Why won’t they come now!”

Crain stomped his feet, wondering why the dragons weren’t appearing.

“Stop thinking about those hypocritical bastards and focus on the fight in front of you!”

Martha shouted for him to come to his senses and took the lead of the swordsmen.

“I’ll freeze them all.”

Lunan also stepped forward without fear, scattering silver frost.

“Let’s go too!”
“Even if the demons are strong, they’re nothing compared to our commanders!”
“With the training we received from that human, there’s nothing we can’t defeat!”

The Gwangpung Hall swordsmen advanced, trusting their commanders and the training they had received thus far.

“Owen cannot lose to Zigheart! Knights, forward!”

At the Third Prince Greer’s command, Owen’s knights also stepped forward and formed their ranks. Fear of the Gate to Demon Realm flickered across their faces, but they seemed to have regained their courage from the momentum of the Zigheart swordsmen.

“Our role is the most important. We must continue providing support from behind the swordsmen and knights!”

Jeina fell back behind Zigheart and Owen, casting support and recovery magic on the swordsmen and knights while unleashing offensive spells toward the approaching demons.

Kuwaaaaang!

True to their status as elite mages, the magic itself was powerful, but the demons from the Demon Realm possessed strong elemental resistance and pushed forward with their bodies.

“How dare you.”

Mark Goeten decisively slit the throats of the demons rushing toward the mages.

“This is tedious. Die all at once!”

Trevin unfolded his footwork with his upper body firmly closed. The crimson aura blooming from his sword strike simultaneously burst ten bat-shaped demons descending through the air.

Chiiiing!

I drew two strokes of fire spirits with the Divine Sword and Demonic Sword. Petals blooming from red and blue trees covered heaven and earth, erasing hundreds of demons entirely.

“Vanish.”

As Karun swung his sword wrapped in aura, the demon lords hiding within the remnants of the Dark Tower, waiting for an opportunity, burst without moving a single finger.
Despite not possessing the same constitution as me, he seemed largely unaffected by demonic energy. Truly, he lived up to being a transcendent.

“At this rate, we can definitely win!”

The allied forces, emboldened by Raon and Karun’s martial prowess, advanced and cut off the demons’ breath.

“Don’t exert yourself too much.”

Chamber regarded the inspectors with a cold gaze.

“Pardon? What do you mean….”

Raon tilted his head, not understanding the meaning behind Chamber’s words.

Goooooooo!

The corpse of the black dragon that had first died to Chamber rose into the air, and its body began to regenerate.

Kyaaaaaaaa!

It wasn’t merely the body regenerating—the black dragon, as if granted new life, roared with its pitch-black eyes gleaming.

No, it wasn’t just the black dragon. The demons that had been slashed by his sword and the demonic beings that had burst apart from Karun’s sword were also coming back to life and rising to their feet.

“Silent Spirit World doesn’t merely open the Gate to Demon Realm—it’s a spell that grants the demons and demonic beasts of this land special power. Those who die here will likely continue to resurrect.”

Chamber shook his head, saying they shouldn’t pour all their strength into their attacks since they would keep rising.

“That’s utterly absurd….”

Raon exhaled roughly, glaring at the Black Tower Master.

“Grrr….”

Yet the Black Tower Master stared at him with furious eyes despite the Silent Spirit World’s success.

“Why is that bastard reacting like that? The absolute spell of resurrecting the demonic beasts succeeded….”

Raon turned his head toward Chamber.

“Didn’t I tell you? I pulled out one more pillar.”

Chamber chuckled with a candy in his mouth.

“Originally, that spell was meant to resurrect not just those who died now, but all demons who ever died in this space. In other words, the layer masters you killed while climbing the Black Tower, and even Garrett, should have been resurrected.”

She shook her head while twirling the candy between her fingers.

“But I severed that part. Those who died before that spell activated won’t return. Of course, the resurrection happening now isn’t perfect either.”

Chamber seemed pleased with the interference she’d managed despite the urgent situation, smiling wickedly.

“Chamber! Raon Zigheart!”

The Black Tower Master unleashed a furious roar from the sky, enraged that Gareth and the layer masters weren’t being resurrected. The darkness of this land seemed to resonate with his emotions.

Uuuuuuung!

Rather than waging a war of attrition using demonic beasts, he unleashed a bolt of demonic lightning directly at me. In the moment the sky flashed, pitch-black thunder was already upon my eyes.

“Hmph.”

As Chamber flicked her hand holding the candy, the black lightning fell like black thread across the bridge of her nose.

“I told you. Let’s play together.”

She rose into the air and glanced back at us.

“You know what needs to be done without me saying it, right? It’ll be quite difficult, but I’m counting on you.”

Chamber flashed a bright smile and ascended toward the black sky where the Black Tower Master waited.

“Damn woman….”

A chilling murderous intent emanated from the Black Tower Master’s voice. He seemed to despise Chamber for her continued interference.

“Let’s fight like a proper mage, shall we.”

As she snapped her fingers, both of them vanished simultaneously. They seemed to have moved to a space where they could fight one-on-one.

“W-what just happened?”

Crain’s jaw trembled in confusion.

“No need to panic. We know exactly what we need to do.”

I nodded as I watched increasingly powerful demons pouring through the Gate to Demon Realm.

“From now on, I’ll use all my strength to close that gate.”

Right now, the battle between Chamber and the Black Tower Master was secondary—closing that gate was the absolute priority.

‘How can I close the Gate to Demon Realm?’

I gestured toward Wrath with my chin.

-How would I know that?

Wrath’s eyes narrowed as if asking what nonsense I was spouting.

‘If you don’t know, and you’re a Demon Lord…’
-I’ve told you countless times—I don’t understand magic, incantations, or any of that! I’ve always just torn through everything with pure force!

He proudly tilted his chin, boasting about how he’d torn through dimensions both leaving the Demon Realm and returning to it with sheer power.

‘Ignorance isn’t something to be proud of… wait!’

I narrowed my eyes as I watched the Gate to Demon Realm growing larger and larger.

‘Maybe that approach would actually be simpler.’

As the Gate to Demon Realm opened wider, the wrath I currently possessed grew stronger in tandem.
If I channeled all of this power, I might be able to close the gate through sheer force, just like Wrath did.

-Hmm, it doesn’t seem impossible.

Wrath nodded calmly.

-If the gate grows much larger, it will become difficult, but for now it’s entirely possible. Of course, you’ll face considerable interference.

As he raised his hand, even stronger demons began erupting from the Gate to Demon Realm. With the gate expanding further, higher-ranked creatures were emerging.

Whoooosh.

But what was pouring from the gate now wasn’t just demons. Beings with humanoid forms but adorned with horns or wings—demons of the Demon Race—began revealing themselves among the flood of beasts.

As I said from the beginning, I’ve been watching the situation from inside the gate, and I descend when I judge that I can swallow you all.

Wrath narrowed his eyes, remarking that the demons descending now must have considerable power.

‘Then I need to stop them quickly.’

I tightened my grip on the Heavenly Sword and the Demonic Sword, nodding in agreement.

‘But where did that one go?’

The demon that had revealed itself at the end of the Middle Layer. It was definitely a demon possessing only demonic energy, yet it seemed like a different existence from these demons.

‘No, this isn’t the time to think about that.’

I stepped forward, passing through the ranks of the Gwangpung Hall swordsmen.

“Close the Gate to Demon Realm. Open the path.”

At my final command as the vanguard, the eyes of the Gwangpung Hall swordsmen changed.

“We accept your command!”

Burren, Martha, and Lunan, who had been focused on defense, simultaneously stepped forward.

Whoooosh!

The demonic beasts pressing forward were sliced apart by Burren’s slashing wind, the demonic beasts pushed back by Martha’s greatsword burst into black blood, and the demonic beasts pouring from the sky were frozen solid by Lunan’s frost and shattered into pieces.

Crunch, crunch, crunch!

The Gwangpung Hall swordsmen maintained the Gwangpung Formation and trampled all the demonic beasts attempting to revive in their wake.

The swordsmen, gazing only at the path forward, destroyed all the demonic beasts blocking their way.

“…That’s far enough.”

Shadow writhed among the corpses of dead demons, and then the Black King Sigel and his subordinates rose up as demons visible to all.

“You cannot advance any further.”

He gripped a greatsword in his right hand and a spear in his left, unfurling his black cloak.

“Cannot advance?”

The moment Raon smirked, his body had already transcended space. The Divine Sword fell like lightning, and the Demonic Sword carved through coldly, both targeting Black King Sigel’s throat and heart.

Clang clang clang clang!

Sigel barely managed to block both the Divine Sword and Demonic Sword, but his hands—twisted like an octopus’s tentacles—trembled violently as he was pushed back by the overwhelming force.

“That’s not something someone like you decides….”

Raon forced Sigel back with raw power, twisting his lips into a sneer.

“The strong choose.”
