Maxed Out Leveling Novel

Chapter 188

68. Destruction (1)

Finding out Naznel’s destination, Cha Shin Hyeon headed straight north. As in the case of the Demon King, Saltion took the lead and guided us.

They flew at a slightly slower speed than before, and arrived at the Ruin Mountains when the color of the sun began to change.

“It looks like you have prepared something for sure.”

From the beginning of the mountain range, a magic barrier was spread out widely. Due to the large scale, the magical power of each area was very weak, but the purpose itself seemed to be a warning, so it was irrelevant.

Cha Shin Hyeon, who lightly flicked her fingers to blow the surrounding barrier, entered the mountain range.

It wasn’t a convenient structure where the house came out immediately after going over the fence. When you remove the barrier, all you see is a mountain stream. Saltion said in a somewhat awkward tone.

“It’s in the mountains, so the sun will set sooner. It seems that the search will be more difficult at night.”

“Isn’t it just a little red? You still have over an hour to lose.”

“But the mountains are not usually wide… … .”

“It’s not as wide as my sense of humor.”

Saying nothing, Cha Shin Hyeon quietly closed her eyes.

The limited sense of transcendence opens. Premarital power, which plays a secondary role, naturally arose and enveloped his body.

shoot ah-

His sense of assimilation with the surrounding nature expanded endlessly. The sound of all things in the world began to pour into him. It is similar to the feeling of being hit by the cool rain pouring down on your body.

There is no need to check all creatures within range. That is very tiring work. The chirps of ordinary and insignificant beings are heard with one ear and flowed through the other.

Powerful yet alien, evil and dismal… Well, the latter is Cha Shin Hyeon’s personal opinion, but anyway, I find the smell of high-ranking demons. The unique feeling emanating from their magical powers.

At least (?), even those with the level of dragons and demons can explore the entire dungeon with magic. The scope of Cha Shin Hyeon’s search, which is far different from them, was different.

A radar that combines magic, deep sword, and spirits scanned and passed through the Ruin Mountains. There was no particularly conspicuous phenomenon, but Saltion trembled slightly when he encountered one side of his overwhelming presence.

“found.”

Cha Shin Hyeon opened her eyes.

Having measured the distance and direction once more, he moved forward.

It seemed like a small step, but Cha Shin Hyeon’s new model was already too far away. Saltion hastily followed behind.

Has it been 5 minutes?

Cha Shin Hyeon arrived above a place where the rugged mountains take on a slightly basin-like shape. It didn’t seem like 5 minutes had passed, but considering the speed of movement, it was like entering the depths of the mountain range for several dozen kilometers.

“Are you here?”

“okay.”

Even after hearing the confirmation, Saltion’s senses did not catch anything. It was only after he had used search magic that he could catch faint traces.

A huge structure that exists beneath the mountain. It was protected by powerful magic, so it was impossible to guess the inside, but at the same time, the magic that covered the powerful magic was acting double.

It is a method that naturally melts into the surroundings, so if you look closely, you won’t even know it’s there. I’m just amazed at how I found this from so far away.

“Hoo.”

Cha Shin Hyeon’s eyes lit up as she looked down and pondered.

A cleverly disguised entrance opened and someone came out. It was Naznel, the last demon king, who brought him here.

Seven demons came out following Naznel. When they came out, the entrance to the basement closed again.

“They are direct demons. There are three alien demons mixed in.”

“All of Naznel?”

“Yes.”

Saltion groaned. Cha Shin Hyeon’s eyes narrowed.

Meanwhile, Naznel flew into the sky alone. The demons that were brought in retreat far away as if to make room for a fight.Of course, even if they fight together, it won’t help at all, but Naznel alone won’t win. You may not know it, but what do you believe and come confidently?

Cha Shin Hyeon asked Naznel, who had risen to the same altitude.

“Where are the rest of them and they are the only ones?”

“I was sent somewhere else.”

“Where?”

“That is not for you to know.”

Naznel replied bluntly.

Cha Shin Hyeon didn’t think that that ‘other place’ would be the afterlife. I just thought it was stolen from somewhere because I had a plan.

But let’s just disappear Earth is the only place to worry about them, but about 40 demon spirits can be prevented by Elther and others. Didn’t he leave his seat, thinking it was okay to attack Naznel together?

Cha Shin Hyeon, who didn’t feel the need to worry about the little ones, focused on Naznel. After all, it was a game over with just a hit in the head.

“you… … .”

The all-seeing Shin-an observed Naznel thoroughly. Cha Shin Hyeon noticed the change hidden inside.

“Your temperament has changed.”

“… … .”

“Obviously, he wasn’t the Demon King of Protection, but he’s changed quite a bit in a few days without seeing him?”

Naznel, who was silent for a moment at Cha Shin Hyeon’s sharp point, burst into laughter.

No, from the moment he started laughing, he wasn’t Naznel. As if the switch had changed based on a certain point in time.

“You mean you just saw it and noticed it?”

“If you want to hide it, you have to be more thorough. Besides, just looking at it, I could see that the tea was improvised. Seriously, it must have been a few days since I received your protection, so there is nothing I can do about it.”

Hiding their skills is only possible with a junior or a fellow initiate, but in front of a master, it is not too difficult. Cha Shin Hyeon read out Naznel’s energy, which he tried not to show on the outside, but only leaked little by little, and pointed out the changes at once.

Naznel also had a unique magical power that only demon lords who received the protection of the demon god had. It certainly hasn’t been like that before.

In addition to that, the greater power that is holding your breath inside. It was not an energy that could be possessed simply by receiving protection. Cha Shin Hyeon caught on to the same strong spirits or momentum.

“Well, I never thought I could hide it until the end. I didn’t even think of that.”

The demon of fear grinned. Cha Shin Hyeon nodded his head slightly.

“Well then. I was wondering why you didn’t come last time.”

Rhodiac, Apostle of Madness, Poriden, Apostle of Fear, Artia, Apostle of Nightmares, and Duraus, Apostle of Slaughter. The four demon kings who received protection and the demon gods they serve.

Among them, madness, nightmares, and slaughter were all strong, but only fear could not be seen, so I was just wondering. It was not at all strange that he appeared late.

Fear shrugged.

“Actually, I’m in a kind of insurance-like role, so if I couldn’t definitely finish it with just the older sister, I tried to come too. But didn’t you, who was all dead, resurrect and win? I gave up on Kangshin because I thought there was no chance of winning.”

“There was such a thing. But it doesn’t look like there’s a chance of winning right now. Because I am in a better state than I was back then.”

Cha Shin Hyeon opened the inventory. The red sword made from the scales of a red dragon, which has been restored to its original shape after repairs, has revealed its elegant appearance.

“And what I heard from madness last time doesn’t match the mouth. Because the demonic body, which contains the power of a demon, is destroyed, I said that he deliberately did not use the spirit of the one remaining demon king.”

“You are right.”

“Then why did you come and ride Naznel? Would it be possible to become a little stronger than when I was strong with a demon?”

On top of the red sword, a red glowing pre-marital power was overlaid. The energy that wrapped around the blade like a rotating saw blade exuded a vicious life.

An eerie flash of blood-red energy flew away like lightning in the next moment.

Whoops!

The air burst and thunder sounded.

Fear hurriedly raised the ice mine and defended the front, but it lacked the strength to completely block the attack. The two arms of fear, which had been pushed several tens of meters away, left scars that were scratched by the preoccupational power.

“Ugh, it’s like this monster… … .”

“I don’t think there is much difference.”

Cha Shin Hyeon said sternly.

Compared to the slaughter that sucked this energy and became stronger, the pure (?) fear was definitely weaker. Moreover, since Cha Shin Hyeon was not as exhausted as then and had attained a small realization, the difference widened further.

“No, there is no difference! There’s a big difference. If I hadn’t been strong, Naznel would have been killed in this blow.”

Ignored fear growled nervously.

“Huh?”

Cha Shin Hyeon paid attention to the content of the words, not the expression of the demon’s emotions.

“So, you’re saying it’s better to be strong, because it’s much faster for me to die than to take your power and break my body? If it doesn’t break too much, it can be restored, or something like that?”

“Yes.”

“If you’re worried about that, why don’t you just hide Naznel? It would have been easier if I could borrow any demon body and get stronger.”

“… What are you constantly biting and drooling? Are you dissatisfied with me being strong with Naznel?”

“I don’t have any complaints, but it’s because the reason is too vague.”

Cha Shin Hyeon put on a funny face.

“You put the one and only precious demon king in danger. If that’s the case, then Naznel must have a reason to be here. So, I did my best to protect it. Well, this is understandable, but why did you have to be strong even though you knew you couldn’t win if you did? Are you wasting time? For what?”

Cha Shin Hyeon, who was continuing the monologue as if in a conversation, looked down again. He glared at the entrance where Naznel and the demons came out.

“There is only one suspicious place here.”

“what? What is this guy saying… … .”

“Or not. It’s enough to check it out.”

The new version of Cha Shin Hyeon, who chuckled, disappeared as if turned off.

When the horror recognized the movement, Cha Shin Hyeon had already appeared above his head and slashed his sword.

Aww!

With both arms wrapped in ice lightning, fear barely blocked the sword attack.

Even though he was blocking it with both of his arms, he couldn’t shake Cha Shin Hyeon from holding down his sword with one hand. The weight of the preoccupation overwhelms the ice mine and weighs it down.

In that state, Cha Shin Hyeon reached down with his unarmed left hand. A wind blow exploded from the tip of his fist, striking the fear with all his might.

“Wow!”

He let out a painful moan, and the fear quickly fell.

If the altitude was not high, it may have been thrown into the ground and created a crater. Before that, he took a narrow stance.

As he looked up at the sky with his teeth grinding, the face of fear immediately hardened.

A terrifying force surged from Cha Shin Hyeon’s whole body, ready for a stab. He was greedy and greedy, absorbing even the natural energy around him with an endless preoccupational power.

“crazy… … .”

before even swearing properly.

Cha Shin Hyeon stabbed her sword all the way.

Is this the weapon wielded by the giant god? Following Cha Shin Hyeon’s movement, her premonition falls like a meteorite. It was like a magnificent sight, as if a huge pillar was being thrust down from the sky to the ground.

can’t stop this

Fear, knowing it instinctively, ran as fast as he could. Fortunately, he was able to avoid a direct hit because he wasn’t a target.

Instead, the immovable underground structure had to be hit by the tsunami as it was.

Kugugugugung!

All the institutions and magic barriers that were put in place with great effort were not effective at all compared to the cost. It was okay to hold out even for a few seconds.The underground hideout, designed to naturally disperse external shocks, collapsed when subjected to an unbearable shock. the ground was completely blown away

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

The subsequent shock wave ran through the ground and shook the ground relentlessly. The surrounding mountains shook violently, causing a landslide. One of the closest peaks completely collapsed, pouring massive amounts of silt underneath.

“this… This guy… … .”

Fear shook her body.

Not enough to cause an earthquake, but to overturn an entire mountain and fill the basement! I never dreamed that I would come up with such an ignorant method—and that it would be possible.

“Isn’t it great?”

I thought there was something, maybe it was Kiwoo? Cha Shin Hyeon murmured as she looked down at the ground, which had become like a plateau as the surrounding mountains were crushed down.

That was then.

pounding!

A beating was heard from the depths of the sunken earth.

It wasn’t an ear sound. Everyone in the room heard the sound of a heartbeat, as if echoing through the soul. Magical Spirit, Horror, and Cha Shin Hyeon.

“Ah!”

The face of fear brightened.

Conversely, Cha Shin Hyeon’s expression hardened terribly.

immediately after that.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

A huge pillar of light pierced the earth and soared.

Exactly the opposite of Cha Shin Hyeon’s preoccupation with the ground, it was a light that was shot from the depths of the earth towards the sky.

Cha Shin Hyeon, who sensed the wave of power, had already retreated to the side. The light that had penetrated the space he had just been in ripped through the sky and blew away the clouds neatly.

“… … .”

Cha Shin Hyeon’s eyes softened.

“Goyan bastard.”

A languid voice is heard from below.

“You don’t even have time to enjoy the summer air you’ve been smelling in a long time. At the very least, it would have been buried.”

From the starting point of the light to the ground, a demon appeared through a clear passageway. He was slowly ascending with his arms crossed arrogantly.

Like a newborn baby, his naked body was covered in blood and dirt mixed with it, but with a gentle shake of his hand, all the filth disappears.

Then, a pure black energy enveloped the body, forming an elaborate form. The beggar, who was a shady beggar, quickly became a dignified general in fine armor.

The demons have reached the same height as Cha Shin Hyeon.

“… Who are you?”

Cha Shin Hyeon opened her mouth.

“If you think about it, you will soon find out.”

A faint smile hung on the corner of the demon’s lips.

“Have you not heard of the dragon in the beginning? Just as there were five dragons in the beginning, there were also five demons at the beginning.”

Madness, horror, nightmare, slaughter.

Unlike the four demons Cha Shin Hyeon has encountered so far, he has never given any protection, never strengthened, and was not even mentioned properly.

“Destruction… … .”

“That’s right.”

The last demon showed this and laughed.
