Chapter 130
Sanctuary of Evil (1)
“Meongmeong!”
“Good?”
“Myaang~”
Instead of hiding.
Or rather, Meong Meong who had been on Kim Jun’s shoulder.
“This cat… could you tell it to come down…”
“It’s your senior, dude. Don’t call it a cat, call it Meongmeong-nim.”
“…;;;”
Had somehow settled on top of Yongyong, its new mount(?).
Perhaps this was what the energy of Earth was like.
Just being nearby gave a real-time stable feeling.
Perhaps because of this, the black cat Meong Meong.
Preferred Yongyong over Nyong Nyong.
“Myaang~”
Of course, Nyong Nyong’s situation wasn’t much different.
“Wahahahaha! Nyong Nyong! Forward march!”
“Qu-quiet! Get down right now!”
Smack-!
“Uuugh! What are you doing?!”
“Nyong Nyong! Don’t talk back to your senior! Forward advance!”
“This damn…!”
Andras stood tall on Nyong Nyong’s broad back.
The giant demon gripped the horns near the Azure Dragon’s head as handles.
“Over there! There’s a monster over there!”
When Andras roughly pulled the left horn.
“Huh? Huuh?!”
Nyong Nyong’s body sharply turned left.
“No! Right! Go right!”
This time he pulled the right horn.
“Qu-quiet! How dare you grab the Azure Dragon’s horns!”
Nyong Nyong protested but still moved.
Under the weight and strength of the giant demon.
Being controlled by his horns like handlebars.
He roamed across the field.
“Over there, massive demon appearance! Nyong Nyong breath fire!”
“Don’t talk about me like I’m a weapon!”
Kwaaaaaa-!
Watching this scene, Kim Jun lightly nodded.
‘Pretty efficient?’
Faster than expected.
It had been several hours since Nyong Nyong and Yongyong started moving in earnest.
They had already passed through 3 floors.
Moreover, the combination of Nyong Nyong and Andras.
Andras’s sword.
Nyong Nyong’s breath.
Their coordination was better than expected.
As if they had been a team from the beginning.
Kwaaaaaa-!
Chajajajak-!
Andras swung 「Sea of Blood and Death」.
Buuung-!
Drawing a massive arc.
Sword energy spewing blood traces tore through the air.
Where that trajectory passed.
Hell’s monsters were split apart on both sides.
Right at that moment.
Kwaaaaaa-!
Multi-attribute breath poured out from Nyong Nyong’s mouth.
Fire and water, wind and lightning mixed together.
With 「Black Flame」 added on top.
It scraped across Hell’s ground.
Andras’s sword energy and Nyong Nyong’s breath intersected.
Peobeobeobeobeng-!
Crack-!
That irregular demonic sword energy.
The dragon’s breath is.
Aaaaaahhh-!
Sometimes they converged to the same point.
As if it were calculated.
The vast field was reduced to ruins in an instant.
“Damn it…! For this body to be in such a state!”
Nyong Nyong’s protests continued.
But its movements never stopped for a moment.
Carrying the weight of the massive demon.
While enduring the constantly swinging sword.
Azure Dragon charged forward relentlessly.
Chwajajajak-!
Crackle-!
Whoooosh!
Every time I accelerate.
Andras’s sword was swung at a new angle.
When Nyong-nyong turns left.
Black has already seized control of the front in that direction of advance.
If you turn right.
The range of the right breath had already been completely swept away by the demon’s sword.
As if they were one being.
The azure dragon’s movements and the demon’s sword fell into perfect harmony.
“Maybe I should use some of my power too.”
Already conquering hell at breakneck speed.
No, I was in the middle of taking it apart.
Kim Jun, who wasn’t satisfied with just the speed of Nyongnyong, Andras, and Yongyong.
“「Acceleration」.”
I crossed the 64th floor.
What was it like before the regression.
If I try to recall my memories.
From the 60th basement floor onward, even clearing one floor per day was no easy task.
Befitting the name of hell.
The monsters were tenacious.
The field was vast.
The monster was persistent.
There were hardly any places to rest.
Especially the 61st floor, which I first encountered.
[Hell’s Battlefield].
Because of the endless expanse of land and the demon cavalry constantly charging in from all directions.
Cleanup took longer than advancing.
Four days.
It took a full four days just to push through that vast wasteland.
There was no place to catch their breath, no safe zone to camp.
A moment’s carelessness led to being surrounded, and a bit of greed resulted in fatal attacks that broke their formation.
That was the basic rule of Hell.
But now.
“Don’t pull on my horns!”
“Kihihihihihihit! Nyong Nyong! Fire the cannon!!!”
Andras, riding on top of the massive Azure Dragon’s head, shouted playfully.
“Meow!”
“…”
“Meow! Meow!!”
“Tch.”
Meong Meong, hanging from the massive Golden Dragon’s neck, was giving unnecessary commands.
Kwaaaaaa—!!
Each time a breath swept through, an entire field disappeared completely.
No battle formation.
No reconnaissance.
No war of attrition needed.
They just had to pass through and it was over.
Like that, one day.
In just one day, they had already passed through four staircases.
Belphegor had become lazy again and hidden in Kim Jun’s shadow.
‘He’ll come out when needed.’
It wasn’t the same state of complete abandonment as before.
Since that day when he sparred with Kaiser’s Doppelganger.
Belphegor had definitely changed.
Even if he didn’t want to, he would come out when called.
‘Next time I’ll have to use vacation as bait again.’
Kim Jun chuckled.
And soon, a reason to call Belphegor arose.
What appeared at the edge of his vision.
The end of the 64th Floor of the Dungeon.
And beyond that, rising up.
The teleport leading to the next floor.
The 65th Floor of the Dungeon.
Kim Jun stopped walking for a moment.
“If you do well this time.”
At those words.
“I-if we do well?!”
“What, what will you give us?!”
Nyong Nyong and Yongyong both raised their heads simultaneously.
Their eyes sparkled obviously.
Kim Jun deliberately paused, then slowly added.
“I’ll change your names.”
“Wh-what?!”
“Of course! We’ll finish it in one shot!!”
He didn’t tell them what the names would be.
…
Wouldn’t that make them work with more enthusiasm?
Sorry to the two dragons.
He had no intention of changing their names yet.
“Let’s go right now!”
“They’re all dead! I’ll kill them all!”
Leading the two dragons whose motivation had pointlessly surged.
Pat-
He headed to the next floor.
*
Underground 65th floor.
[Sanctuary of Evil].
It wasn’t a place that stretched endlessly like [Hell’s Battlefield].
But this place too was one of the massive fields that could be counted on one hand in Hell.
Kim Jun already knew what kind of place this was without having to look around.
The reason was simple.
He had already experienced once that there was no place for ‘small beings’ like himself to stand here.
Each thing that entered his vision.
There was no need to even compare.
Monsters that would have been treated as solo bosses if this were the surface 20th floors.
Giant demons.
Bodies reaching dozens of meters in height.
Physiques rising like cliffs.
Torsos covered in spikes and carapaces.
And arms and legs that, even without wielding weapons, were weapons in themselves.
Such beings.
Not just one.
Not just two.
Over a thousand.
Filling the entire demon sanctuary.
Standing silently without a word.
As if asking, ‘Do you have the qualifications to come this far?’
In this place, each of these giant demons was a field monster.
Only after defeating them all would the next stage finally open.
The being waiting at the end.
The king of ancient giant demons.
Grand Duke of Hell.
Baal.
This sanctuary was both a passage for him and a trial ground to reach him.
The throne had not yet revealed itself.
Instead, a thousand massive shadows that guarded this place until reaching the king silently blocked the way.
Buuuuuung-!
Even before Kim Jun’s command fell.
Two massive dragons simultaneously took flight.
Azure Dragon, Nyong Nyong dove first, lowering altitude in a steep descent.
Not targeting a single giant demon, but a trajectory throwing its body into the middle of their group.
At that moment.
“Kyahahahahaha!”
Andras laughed as he leaped from atop Nyong Nyong’s head.
One rotation in midair.
One and a half rotations.
And.
Kwajik-!!
The sword pierced through.
The giant demon’s crown.
Splitting apart as if being cleaved.
Chwachajaja-
Blood spurted up like a fountain.
Andras’s body didn’t stop.
Surrendering to gravity, he slid down the giant’s body using his sword as an axis.
The sword 「Shisan Blood Sea」.
Puook-
Starting from the crown of the head.
Slicing through the neck.
Tearing through the shoulders.
Sweeping down the spine.
Digging all the way to the waist.
Wherever the blade touched, flesh and bone split apart.
Blood burst forth belatedly.
“I’ll split you all the way to your tailbone!”
Jjeojeojeojeojeok-!!
With the final strike, the massive body split perfectly in half vertically.
So much blood poured out that even the air vibrated with the metallic scent.
Andras landed with a spin in midair, drenched in blood.
“Kahahahahahahahahaha!”
His face bore the smile of a child who had finished playing rather than the excitement of battle.
“Hehehehe. I split him all the way to his asshole!”
Kim Jun watched the scene and silently pressed his hand to his forehead.
“…Are you really insane.”
He could have finished it a bit more cleanly.
By butchering limbs like this every time, the battlefield became unnecessarily gruesome each time.
Honestly speaking, it was nauseating.
“No way! This is art~ist!”
“Bullshit.”
Meanwhile, Nyong Nyong didn’t stop.
She was already turning toward the next giant demon.
Fire.
Water.
Wind.
Lightning.
And 「Black Flame」 on top of that.
Against the giant demons with massive bodies.
Azure Dragon’s composite breath was the worst matchup.
When lightning struck once, a chain reaction occurred.
One would burn.
Then the next would burn.
Then the next would burn.
Then the next-
Kkeueoeoeoeoe-!!
Kkuooooooooo!!
The giant demons fell consecutively like trees.
In the midst of that.
Buuuuuung-!!
Yongyong suddenly pulled up altitude.
The highest point of the [Sanctuary of Evil].
Above the dark red earth and air filled with hellish heat.
Flutter-
Yongyong’s body stopped.
And then.
Light.
Light that didn’t belong in Hell momentarily filled the space.
Radiance so sacred, so excessively perfect.
Enough to make the [Sanctuary of Evil] look like Heaven for a moment.
Keuooo!?
Keueueueueu…
The giant demons instinctively clutched their eyes.
“I shall show you.”
Yongyong’s voice resonated throughout the entire [Sanctuary of Evil].
At those words, the air trembled first and light responded first.
“Where light dwells, no wicked intent remains.”
Golden radiance converged toward the center of the space.
“Where brilliance touches.”
Golden waves spread along the grain of the air.
Even Hell’s heat lost its flow before it.
“There is no place for evil to stand.”
「Evil Cannot Exist in Light・All Evils Shall Perish」.
As Yongyong’s words ended.
Saaaaa-
Light began to fall.
It did not strike down like lightning.
Nor did it assault like a storm.
Very slowly.
As if carving away time itself.
It descended from sky to earth.
The giant demons instinctively tried to step back.
But their legs would not lift.
Keu, keueueu…
Groooan…
His muscles were stiff, and his joints wouldn’t obey him.
The places where light would reach were already predetermined.
There was no place that light could not reach.
Some raised their arms to shield themselves from the light, while others roared in defiance.
However.
It was neither hidden nor blocked.
It was simply coming down slowly.
