Chapter 145: Vol. 6 Ep. 13

Six magic circles appeared around the dark Sungjin.

Sungjin could read the words in between the cold hellfire burning within the magic circle. “The six major underworld commanders.”

Astaros, Asmodeus, Belial, Beezelbub, Mephistopheles, Mamon. The best rulers of hell that ruled each region under the command of the great devil lord Lucifer.

“The six commanders…”

“Prepare yourselves,” Sungjin could only say.

The fire exploded outwards, and its aftershocks spread out. At the shock, Rachel and Jenna tripped, and Sungjin gathered them up, and before them, six large existences of darkness appeared one by one.

“The lord of swords, Asmodeus.” There were six large swords on his muscled back that had the wings of a bat.

Black butterflies gathered and formed into a seductive figure of a gentleman. He had a feminine side to his masculinity, creating a depraved yet seductive beauty. Perhaps to melt the hearts of women with a serenade, he had a violin in one hand. “The lord of seduction, Belial.”

Clouds of flies gathered. Clouds of flies, rot, and poison gathered. In the middle of it, the lord of flies sat with a golden crown on his head. “The lord of pestilence, Beezelbub.”

A large mound of flesh trembled before a monster appeared from it. Jewels and gold were embedded awkwardly in several places of the mound. The flesh without eyes or ears swallowed everything. Even the dirt of the earth was its food. “The lord of gluttony, Mamon.”

With a pocket watch in one hand, a handsome man as prim as a London gentleman appeared with a hat and a walking stick. His well-trimmed mustache made him look like a normal human being compared to the other lords. If they had met without knowing each other’s identity, he would have thought he was a mannerly gentleman, but Sungjin knew the sigil of Dark Sungjin’s summoning circle. “The lord of pride, Mephistopheles.”

And lastly, an old man with a luxurious costume similar to Christmas attire appeared. In his hands was a staff of a two-headed snake. “The lord of knowledge, Astaros.”

At the appearance of the six lords, Sungjin predicted what the result would be.

So this is the real enemy.

“Lucifer” and his six devil lords. Could he and his teammates fight against them? Each of them had reached a level where they could be called legends, but their opponent was the devil lords of legends.

The dark Sungjin snapped his fingers. “Now, since it’s our first confrontation, a one-on-one should be sufficient, right? Let’s check our limits. Dark Colosseum.”

The skill that separated Sungjin from his teammates activated, but this time, the target wasn’t solely Sungjin.

The darkness exploded, and everyone was separated into different spaces.

* * *

Ereka and Astaros went against each other.

“Are you the woman who the other master has taken in?” the overconfident yet elegant grand magician of knowledge of the six devil lords asked.

Ereka didn’t say anything and only raised her spear. She wasn’t ignoring him on purpose. She was simply nervous.

A devil lord of hell…

Could she win against such an existence? But if she didn’t win…

That couldn’t happen.

“I’ll give you the first strike. Try your best.”

My opponent is probably a magician, right? I shouldn’t give him the time to finish chanting.

Ereka ran head-first. Her spear pierced the air. The air exploded all around it, and the air rotated around the edge of the spear like a chain mill.

She was cautious by nature, but she was also a strong knight. She had been awarded a new class after transcending called “Aegis defender.” The blow of her spear was already a legend in and of itself.

“Hmm.” But, watching her attack, Astaros simply raised his walking stick. As he did, a round magic circle appeared between them.

Creeeak.

The spear full of ki couldn’t overcome the magic circle.

“Now, try receiving my attack. Hell fire.”

A large fire ball appeared above Astaros’s head. When a spark from the fire ball fell out, an explosion occurred. Each of the fire sparks was like a bomb, and together they were a bomb of destruction.

Ereka ran forward without hesitation.

Craaash.

With a large explosion, the ground broke apart, and a large crater appeared. Above, clouds of dirt gathered and reached the sky, and a light pierced the clouds.

“Ha! Glorious Strike!” With a shout, Ereka delivered a stronger strike of her spear toward Astaros. Her figure, which had emerged from the explosion, bore burnt marks here and there, but she wasn’t defeated.

“Ho. You’ve endured it.”

Spear and magic clashed together several times. Ereka’s spear couldn’t break through her opponent’s defense, and Astaros’s fire couldn’t burn Ereka.

Astaros’s attacks became even more varied. Ice fell and lightning struck. Each and every attack had the power of hell and destroyed the surrounding lands. The desert was covered with ice, and lightning struck the ice, breaking it into several pieces.

But Ereka endured any and all attacks, even though her body endured more burnt marks, frozen skin, and injuries.

I will endure until my opponent runs out of magic. That was her competitive mind.

As soon as Ereka thought that, Astaros strengthened his grip on his staff. “Huhu. How annoying.”

The large magic circle in the air began to rotate.

“Let me finish this with one blow. Hole of emptiness. Crevice of time. In the name of the day of judgement.”

Air was sucked into the magic circle. Even the grains of sand were sucked in. Everything was sucked into the center of the circle.

Ereka tried her best with all her might not to be sucked in, but it became harder.

A spell that sucks in things?

Finally, her body floated into the air.

Is this an attack that lifts then slams me into the earth?

Ereka prepared herself for a hard landing.

“Huhu. Did you think you could come back down? That won’t happen. You’ve only seen the beginning of this magic, after all.”

Then what came afterwards…

“The forbidden darkness that swallows everything. Descend and destroy my enemy! The Black Hole!”

It was a small black hole no larger than the size of a coin. But at the same time, it was the point of destruction within the large universe.

“Ah.” The moment the small hole approached her, Ereka was torn from the spot and sucked in.

* * *

Eustasia’s opponent was Asmodeus.

“I’m facing off because of my master’s orders, but to think you’d just have a single sword. How boring.” Asmodeus laughed as he watched the flying Durandal. “Shouldn’t you command at least several swords at once?”

And the six swords on his back flew out at once. One was wrapped in blood. Another was burning in flames. One exuded ice, another lightning. There was one with poison like a snake, and another with dead souls.

The swords with different elements flew in a row. It was the same controlling ability of flying swords, but the numbers and level were different.

One holy sword and six devil swords met in the air, but it couldn’t be called a clash. One devil sword suppressed a holy sword. The other five swords ran straight toward Eustasia.

Kuk.

She tried to avoid the five swords with defensive movements like water. The movement to avoid the attack from the five pincers was vital, but cold had hardened her body.

“Kuk.” A sword with poison pierced her. It was a small wound, but it quickly paralyzed her.

“You’re boring. Let’s finish. ”

Five swords aimed together toward Eustasia’s body. She avoided getting hit in her critical parts, but only for a moment, and at that moment, she launched her final counterattack.

I knew from the start that you weren’t using your full strength.

This moment she held the five swords in her body was a chance to reverse the situation.

“The Sword of Heaven. Durandall! ”

Durandall soared through the sky… and at the next moment, split into twelve. It became a burning meteor, scattering in a flash and shooting toward Asmodeus.

Twelve streaks of the sword in a moment reversed the opponent’s vigilance with a single blow. At that moment, Durandal couldn’t be cut by anything. It stopped and crushed the bloody sword, and with that, a sword disappeared. The remaining eleven fell toward the defenseless Asmodeus.

Clang, clang, clang.

The clash rang out eleven times.

“Is this your last attack?” Asmodeus laughed.

Before him… … .

Over a hundred swords newly floated.

“Kuk… … . ”

“You are so stupid. You can’t even take out a tenth of the swords that I dominate.”

Then Eustasia realized that her opponent was the sword demon. It was not from carelessness that he had neglected her, but from leisure.

Five swords completely slashed her body.

* * *

The other four’s fights were no different.

Jenna, Rachel, Zakiya, Sooryun. Each was overwhelmed by their opponent.

The power they had been given was by no means weak, but the opponent was literally the devil of hell.

Mamon ate all of Jenna’s lightning.

The jumbled flesh grew bigger with every lightning, and then threw itself with incredible speed, covering Jenna.

“Noooo!” Jenna screamed but could not escape the fate of being eaten.

* * *

A flock of flies gathered to Rachel, who was praying.

One, two, three, four…

… One thousand, two thousand.

Each fly flocked to her with deadly disease and poison.

“Your healing only prolongs your suffering before me.” Beezelbub’s sentence was the truth, not arrogance.

Rachel’s power, which was only healing, provided only a little more time against poison and disease.

* * *

Zakiya was an outstanding illusionist, but Mephistopheles’s illusion was beyond excellence.

“You are so sloppy in comparison to my thousands of years of dispensation.”

Their difference in strength was too clear to fight with the same power of illusion.

Her illusions didn’t deceive him for a second. On the other hand, Mephistopheles’s illusion deceived her, even if she didn’t wish to believe it.

Mockingly, she fainted from an illusionary injury.

* * *

Sooryun’s pipa was beautiful and sharp.

Belial played the violin in response. It wasn’t beautiful music that matched his fascinating beauty; it was a terrible scream containing the condemnation of hell.

The scream was sharper than expected. It pierced through her attacks and left injuries on her body.

Ring.

Riiing.

Her strings broke one by one. Eventually her carotid artery ruptured, and she collapsed.
