Maxed Out Leveling Novel

Chapter 169

61. Total Offensive (1)

As if she had really lost her will to fight, Cha Shin Hyeon put the sword in her inventory.

It never occurred to me that Cha Shin Hyeon was weakened because he had no weapons, but from the point of view of Forridan, that act was seen as meaning that he would stop fighting, so he could go.

“then… … .”

Trying not to reveal his true feelings, Foridden calmed the twitching corners of his lips. The moment he said a simple greeting, he was about to sneak out.

“Wait a minute.”

Cha Shin Hyeon stopped him, who was about to run away immediately.

‘Yep.’

It’s not like he’s changed his mind. Poridan, whose heart was pounding, swallowed dry saliva and asked carefully.

“What, what?”

“It doesn’t matter if you send it, but I’ll ask one question and send it.”

Fortunately, it doesn’t seem like much. Inwardly relieved, Foriden roared loudly.

“What is it? Please answer anything.”

But it was too early to be reassured.

“I don’t mean to ask you.”

Cha Shin Hyeon turned his body half way. He shouted as he bent his head and looked behind him.

“You must have listened to Poriden, too?”

Cha Shin Hyeon’s voice thundered and accurately delivered to the demons scattered in the distant sky.

Why are you calling the demons at this point?

‘no way?’

Forridan’s expression hardened. Cha Shin Hyeon, who sensed the subtle change and blew ridicule, even asked a question.

“Is this guy’s words credible?”

A moment of silence passed.

After a while, dozens of demon spirits sang in unison.

“I can’t believe it!”

Forridan’s face was completely wrinkled.

The chirping voices of those who wanted to tear his snout continued to be heard, but he had no means to stop it.

“Demons, especially demon lords, are far from the word honesty.”

“The act of giving a name is an oath that is common only among the same demons. It is not worthy of any trust.”

“Just as dragon blood doesn’t trust demons, you don’t need to trust the master either.”

It would have been a more beautiful scene if it wasn’t for the demons who gave sincere advice not to trust the demons. Even Foridan, who knew they had been brainwashed, was horrified to see them chattering like a broken doll.

Cha Shin Hyeon restored his posture. He looked straight at Foryden and said he was having fun.

“As you can see, these are the opinions of my subordinates.”

“I… I need to listen to them… … .”

“It will be enough. Because demons know best.”

Cha Shin Hyeon cut the words of Foridan, who tried to pretend to be calm.

“Actually, you are quite plausible, but there is a big loophole.”

“Wow, what are you talking about?”“Hemolysis.”

Poridan’s complexion changed at the brief utterance.

“Were there no damages during the great war with the dragon blood? I ended up annihilating the Dragon Blood while enduring the number of demon lords drastically decreasing. I know for sure that it’s your style to try to pull out the root cause no matter how much damage you’re taking. If I send you back, my abilities will be exposed and the enemy will only have one additional demon king.”

“Ah, no, I really… … .”

“Are you really going to ask for reconciliation because the demons don’t want to take more damage? Has the damage you’ve suffered so far been too great?”

Cha Shin Hyeon chuckled.

“Then I will have to kill you even more. The fact that three people died rather than two would be a bigger shock to the demons, and the bigger the shock, the more afraid of my power, the more they would make peace. According to your logic, am I right?”

Either way, the conclusion is one.

From the beginning, Cha Shin Hyeon had no intention of freeing Forriden.

Realizing that something was wrong, Foridden’s face turned into a demon.

“Like this mean bastard! Do you tell lies in your face and change your words right away!”

“I didn’t say anything wrong. You said you’d only ask one and send it? He just didn’t tell me where he was going.”

The magic beast of the flame that had stopped, began to advance. It swayed loudly as if the dread had received the wind and swelled in size.

“You go to hell. A perfect fit for the Demon King.”

“Hey, this guy… … !”

Forridan shook his body and trembled. The thought that he had been made fun of by a trivial man fueled his wrath.

But anger is anger, and if it stays like this, it will burn to death.

Shhh!

Poriden, who was slowly stepping backwards and noticing, at some point, withdrew at full speed. He wisely abandoned the pride of the Demon King and chose to run away.

Of course, there’s no way it’s going to work now.

Cha Shin Hyeon descended like a ghost in front of Forriden, who quickly became a dot and disappeared. Even though he started late, he had overtaken the pace.

Whoa!

Cha Shin Hyeon’s front kick exploded in Forriden’s chest. The shock was doubled because it was like running towards the opponent’s feet.

“Uh-huh!”

Poridan, whose ribs were ripped out, bounced in the opposite direction.

Cha Shin Hyeon, who used the shaft, appeared in front of Foridden by taking one step. The Demon King, who noticed his appearance late, reflexively swung his hand.

Nettle juice!

Five sharp claws like those of an animal cut through the space. The chill sound effect wasn’t just the sound, it was actually accompanied by a chill.

Yes, even if it was, it fell short of the power it showed in the Demon King Spirit. Although he received the protection of the demon god, Poriden himself was not a god, so much of the finite power of the ice lightning had been exhausted.

Cha Shin Hyeon’s left hand, which reached out to face each other, moved skillfully. He ran his fingernails through his fingers and clasped Poridan’s hand.

Dump!

The sparks wrapped around his hands like his gloves offset the chill, while Cha Shin Hyeon gave him strength. The sound of bones breaking from Poridan’s fingers can be heard.

The bones are broken and the flesh burns at the same time. Poridan resisted by twisting his body at the pain he felt in his right hand.

Cha Shin Hyeon relaxed his grip on his hand.

As soon as the link between them was untied, his fists extended downward.

Aww!

With the addition of the explosive power of the cowardly fire, a stronger wind blew slammed into Poriden’s body. The powerful demon king’s body couldn’t stand it and collapsed like a can.

Without a moment of screaming, Foridden was smashed into a crater on the ground below.

“this… URG… … .”

He whimpered and tried to get up, but Cha Shin Hyeon’s energy was weighing him down. As if his whole body was tightly bound, he couldn’t move well.

Even though he knew it was useless, Foridan continued to struggle. As evidenced by his run away, he wasn’t the type to be detached from his death.

Then, Forridan recognized it. While struggling, I saw it with my eyes and felt it with my skin.

The force that holds him back is none other than that.

“… … ?”

it was an iceberg

He was not simply bound, but frozen and stuffed, not only himself, but also the surrounding land.

Why is my energy against me? His feelings were the same, but the colors were different. His ice mines aren’t that light blue.

After that, as he thought about the scariest shoes of a different color, Foridden’s voice trembled.

“no way… Is it yours?”

“okay.”

“How did you do it? How on earth!”

“I did it.”

I saw it, felt it, experienced it.

That’s all, the divine sense captures the essence precisely. It’s like giving a blueprint to a craftsman who can make anything, but what could be impossible?

“under… haha… … .”

Even the rebellion stopped, and Forriden let out a smirk.

Even his will to escape was gone. He felt that his life had been completely denied after the realm he had considered as his own was trampled upon. no power came in.

“Damn you monster bastard… … .”

Was it uttered toward the beast of flames that were getting closer, or was it to Cha Shin Hyeon, who was looking down from the sky with indifferent eyes?

“Are you planning to swallow them all? The whole world?”

“If the remaining demon lords are wise as in your unconvincing proposal, there would be no reason for me to go any further. If you choose peace because you are afraid of me, I’d love it too… … .”

The tip of Cha Shin Hyeon’s lips twisted.

“You won’t, will you?”

“Cancer, not like that! Secretly killing demon lords doesn’t work anymore. We will never stop before we kill you!”

Forridan wrote evil.

“If you cut off all the heads that think like that, then you will stop even if you don’t like it. Even Kang Si can’t move if it’s just under his neck.”

Cha Shin Hyeon replied calmly.

“Go ahead and wait. Say hello to Delite and Rhodiac.”

At the end of those words, the pre-marriage power that turned into an ice lightning was poured once more. As the surroundings froze, Forridan went beyond being bound and trapped in an iceberg.

Yet he is not yet dead. It’s not as effective as killing a person who used to handle ice mines with ice mines. If you give it enough time, you will be able to break out of the ice prison and get out.

But before that.

The magical beast of flame hit the iceberg.

Tutuk! Tutu Tuk! Tatak!

Fear melted, crushed, and shattered the ice. The fragmented ice mines evaporated, burned, and disappeared one after the other.

Poriden, who was in it, was also there.

“Aaaaaaah!”Was it said that the most painful death is participle? The spirit force, the body, the soul, and everything that forms the basis of existence was engulfed in flames and burned up.

The end of the Demon King, who had exhausted all the strength to resist, was shabby.

It didn’t last long and the fire was extinguished with a scream.

After the horror had passed, there was nothing left. As if it never existed in this world from the beginning.

“… … .”

Cha Shin Hyeon, who looked at the spot where Foriden was for a moment, turned around.

Two of Poriden’s subordinates had already been subdued by other demons. They had no opponent at all, and there was no hope for them, who had even witnessed their master’s cruel treatment.

Healing the despair of lost demons is Cha Shin Hyeon’s specialty. If we could call the work of ‘healing’ to forcibly erase allegiance to the old master and follow only the new master.

“I see you, my lord.”

“OK.”

By investing a moment’s time and energy, Cha Shin Hyeon has acquired two new subordinates. It means that you have obtained a ticket to go straight to the royal castle of Forridan.

While the other demons were cleaning up the battlefield, the captain, Saltion, approached.

“Did you achieve what you meant?”

“The results were beyond expectations.”

Cha Shin Hyeon shook his head.

“The most difficult challenge was when the demons used numbers to launch a quantity offensive… For now, there is nothing to worry too much about. Except for the joint work of the Demon Kings.”

“I will reduce it.”

Saltion was truly delighted.

“From a strategic point of view, this will be a huge help. Unlike Delite who died on Earth or Rhodiac who could use his name, Foridden’s movements were not entirely our intention, so it will be difficult to cover up any further.”

“I will. I didn’t even expect that I would be able to defeat each of the demon lords until they were all gone. Even if it’s three less, where is it?”

“It is more beneficial than it seems to have two protective demon kings. First, take over the remnants of Forridan.”

“I get it. You stay and do the tidying up. Contact Elter as well.”

“Yes.”

Saltion responded vigorously.

Cha Shin Hyeon, who summoned the two newly harvested magical spirits, questioned them. It’s not even half a day since Forridan left. After digging up hot information, he gave the first order.

“Guide me, to the royal castle”

“I’ll see you.”

The magical spirit who responded politely soon developed magic. The magical power spread widely and covered every corner of the party’s whole body.

“This is won. Brainwashing is more costly than fighting.”

The new model of Cha Shin Hyeon, who laughed out loud, disappeared as if turned off.

* * *

Early in the morning when the sun has not yet risen.

In the dimly lit bedroom, Duraus opened his eyes.

[Even the apostle of fear has fallen. What are you doing?]

A sentence that was completely different from the similar content I had been hearing for several days. Even after waking up, the angry voice of harsh rebuke lingered in my mind.

“… Shit.”

Realizing that the awkward feeling he felt last night wasn’t just a matter of feeling, Duraus spoke softly in a monologue.

“You’ve also been hit by Foridan.”
