Main Character Hides His Strength

31. Book of the Devil (1)

Kim Sung-cheol uses his own method when the situation flows regardless of his will.

That's what caused the problem.

While the punitive forces were preparing for an ambush, Sung-cheol Kim went to the Ganggas Aaron alone.

Kanggas Aaron sits on a couch with a serious face, wiping his sword.

When he sensed Kim Sung-cheol's prowess, he stared at the Swordmaster with a sharp eye and said in a solemn voice.

“Who are you?”

“ ……. ”

Kim Sung-cheol only revealed himself.

Kanggas Aaron soon remembered Kim Sung-cheol.

“You were that... scout? ”

I completely forgot.

The incident in the Underground Kingdom was so lethal that little reconnaissance resulted that he couldn't care less.

“Yes. What's going on? Room 34. ”

Aaron opens his mouth, scrubbing his sword with a dry cloth again.

Kim Sung-cheol replied briefly.

“Willie Gilford sent me. ”

With the trembling.

The sword falls on the floor.

Aaron's face is incredibly blue.

“Wh... what did you say? ”

He said in a trembling voice.

“Willie Gilford sent me. ”

Kim Sung-cheol said without changing his face.

Cold sweat rises from Aaron's back.

Duke Willy Gilford... is he alive?! ’

In the Underground Kingdom, he fled from his homeland's best friend, Willie Gilford.

Willie Gilford was not a very generous person, but a man who remembered his vengeance and must be avenged.

Knowing Willy Gilford's personality better than anyone else, Kang Gas Aaron had to moan with anxiety for a month when he returned from the Underground Kingdom.

Fortunately, there was no news of the ancient royal feet that had been worrying for a month, and he desperately started lining up to survive, and eventually succeeded in lining up with Martin Bregas.

If we succeed in this, we will have a strong support force to protect us from Willie Gilford, and we will never hear a name we want to hear again just before the governor.

“Wh-why... why... did Willie Gilford send you? ”

Strong gas Aaron picks up his sword with a trembling hand.

Then, Sung-cheol Kim once again said with a grave voice.

“He's already around. ”

“Waaaah!”

The strong gas, Aaron, screamed.

Seeing that, Kim Sung-cheol smiled inside.

You're terrified of this guy, Willie Gilford. ’

Kim Sung-cheol gently said to Aaron, who was bored with horror.

“Willie Gilford said, I didn't mean to hurt you. I just have a favor to ask you. Please come at ease. Right now.”

“D-do you have a favor to ask? ”

The eyes of the desperate rivergas Aaron are revived.

It's okay to accept that you're willing to give something back.

“Yes, right now. ”

Kim Sung-cheol emphasized that right now.

The steel gas Aaron rises from his grave with his sword in his hand.

“Where are you? Willie Gilford.”

“He's on the coast with Michael Gilford. ”

“Yeah? Got it. Let's go there now. ”

At that moment, one question came to mind about Aaron's mind.

Why did that soldier become the Lion of Willie Gilford?

But all of the Punishment Force soldiers knew that they had been working for Willie Gilford for a while, the underlings, the sensory chemistry wizards, were all there.

The rest died in the cold underworld.

Moreover, now is not the time to take matters into account.

Whether it's a lie or a truth, we have to check it.

Otherwise, Willie Gilford will live forever consciously and in agony for the rest of his life.

“Where is it? What about him?”

Steel gas Aaron urged 34.

The 34th took a quick walk, but in Aaron's eyes it was as slow as a turtle.

“Run! 34! I'm in a real hurry! ”

“Very well.”

34 has begun to run.

It was a swift walk, but not as swift as Aaron's.

No, it's normal not to get too close.

However, as I tried to catch up, 34's feet were faster and wider.

I like that 34 is faster, but something's not right.

What are you doing here so fast? You took the wrong pill. ’

At that time, the two fishermen reach the rotting shore.

“Here you go.”

A red moon rises above the sky and a wave of blood splashes over the white sand.

Aaron looks around.

The only person standing on two feet was himself and 34.

Aron said as the cloud covered the moon.

“Where is Willie Gilford? ”

In response to his question, 34 slowly turned around.

Something in his pocket pops up and pops into his head.

It's a book in detail.

‘What is this? ’

When I felt something was wrong, 34 pulled something out of the air.

A hammer with a long handle.

"Soul Warehouse?! ’

Then the clouds that covered the moon retreated, and the moonlight shone back on the earth.

The hammer with the long handle also received the moonlight, revealing its original shape without regret.

The moment I saw the hammer, a red flag appeared in Aaron's brain.

‘We must flee. ’

It's been a long time since Willie Gilford.

Standing in front of him is not Willie Gilford, he's the enemy of the world.

Even if you always fight at the forefront against the Hunting Monsters, even the strongest enemy, you have no choice but to run away first.

His escape ended with him being caught on the back of the shore before he even took three steps.

Aaron, who had his entire upper body stuck in soft sand, desperately pulled himself out of the sand.

Puck!

The face that had been muddled by the sand was reddened.

“H-help me! ”

He falls to the ground, begging for his life.

“ ……. ”

Kim Sung-cheol looked down with his expressionless face for a moment and opened his mouth.

“Describe what's going on. ”

Strong gas Aaron followed his orders faithfully.

He gave up everything he knew and everything that was going on.

Here, Kim Sung-cheol knew two facts.

One is the family affairs of the Bregas family.

Martin Bregas wants to make an outsider his successor.

The other was about Ilya Bregas.

He says Martin Bregas' pressures have made contact with followers of the Gossip Girl disaster.

It is a rumor that he met the leader of the followers of the disaster, although the situation is unknown.

“The leader of the followers of disaster? ”

This is the first story I've heard as Kim Sung-cheol.

Followers of disasters are inherently slimy and spontaneously emerging groups that cannot have a leader.

At best, Balzac, the archmage who died at the hands of Kim Sung-cheol, may be the point of concern, but no one else is worthy of being called chief.

‘This part I need to hear directly from Ilya Bregas. ’

Kim Sung-cheol's eyes flashed coldly.

Meanwhile, Aaron, who fell facedown in front of Sung-cheol Kim, continued to reveal everything he knew with a crawling voice.

“Yes. This march was commissioned by Iliya Bregas, who was in contact with the followers of the disaster. He's up to something. That's why Martin Bregas left me with the task of eliminating the hallucinations. ”

“I see.”

Kim Sung-cheol, who became the master of Ganggas Aaron, touched the hammer handle.

Whenever the terrifying arm of Karaz slightly shifted and tilted his shadow, Aaron's heart fluttered.

He carefully said to Kim Sung-cheol, looking at him.

“This... this is all I know. The destroyer.”

Kim Sung-cheol glanced at Aaron the steel gas with cold eyes.

He's cunning and selfish, but he can use it.

First, Kim Sung-cheol decided to spare Aaron the steel gas.

“Cease your attack on the Savior Cross. ”

“Yes…? That's....”

Kang Gas Aaron expressed an egg.

Then Kim Sung-cheol took out a box full of gold and silver from the soul warehouse and pushed it out in front of Aaron.

“Th-this?! ”

There is a treasure in front of me that I can't collect for the rest of my life.

Aaron's eyes widen.

“I heard you got kicked out of the Old Kingdom for a bad thing. Is it true?”

Kim Sung-cheol asked in a faint voice.

Ganggas Aaron bows his head.

“That's right.”

“Can you make it back to the Ancient Kingdom? ”

“Of course!”

With this amount, anything is possible.

It is also possible to return to the Ancient Kingdom.

Because the gold in front of it is a lot of money you can make as a friend for a long time.

Kim Sung-cheol coldly said, staring at Aaron's face, which is changing at the time.

“Willie Gilford, who you were so afraid of, died in the basement. ”

“Y-you did this to him? ”

“I didn't touch it. But he's dead. ”

A brief joyful passing passes through Aaron's mouth.

The person who is the most stumbling block is gone.

Aaron was desperately scaling in his head.

The answer came right out.

“This strong gas, Aaron, will now be done only by the will of the destroyer. ”

That shortened the situation.

Kanggas Aaron halted the attack on the Savior Crusaders and regrouped the troops.

His subordinates grumble in anticipation of plunder, but he doesn't care about anything.

“That man. Can I just let him go? Shouldn't we take the pledge? I think he's talking about you being here. ”

While Bertelkia was worried, Kim Sung-cheol's attitude was not overwhelming.

“You don't have to worry about that. He wouldn't tell you if a knife came through his throat. ”

Knowing that he made a deal with the world's enemies ended Aaron's life in Ganggas.

This probably won't come out until he's dead.

Kim Sung-cheol indifferently looked at the returning punitive forces.

‘There's no reason to hang out there anymore. ’

I was there enough and achieved my own goals

I wanted to say goodbye to the troops I had been with for a long time, but it was a luxury to Kim Sung-cheol who had lost the world.

Sending a convicted unit back safely is the best he can do.

Kim Sung-cheol's gaze was now towards the Nine Crusaders who were on the other side.

*

As the sun rose, the Nine Crusaders continued their journey to the Magic System.

Kim Sung-cheol and Bertelkia trampled behind them from afar.

Halfway through the day, the Nine Cross escaped the Red Desert and entered the corridor of reefs and glaciers.

The entrance to the magic system. It was the Devil's March.

The Revolutionary Crusader was nervous.

You never know when or where you'll run into a horde of Horsemen.

However, there is a rather famous gatekeeper in the Devil's March.

Deep sea horse species.

Once a week, Kim Sung-cheol, who was beating with magic, heard the footsteps of the Nine Crusaders, protruded from the ground and showed off his overwhelming power.

He was just a sandbag to Kim Sung-cheol, but a big opponent to the Nine Crusaders.

‘Let's see what we can do. ’

Kim Sung-cheol watched the battle between the Nine Crusaders and the Deep Sea Horse species from afar.

But there was no scene that I expected.

The Salvation Crusader was scared to death without even fighting properly.

He was an indiscreet and miserable loser.

The Salvation Crusader lost a great deal of weight with a large number of his servants.

But their disaster was not yet over.

A group of demons appeared in front of the Red Cross, who had barely escaped before the Deep Sea Horse.

Devil horsemen in Hellhounds.

If I had met him before I met Deep Sea Horse Horse, I would have repelled him easily, but things are different now.

Numerous members were bitten by the Demon Dog and killed by the Devil's Dental Knife.

“Everyone! My place! Hold your ground! ”

Iliya Bregas stands among the Devil Cavalry, stirring up their faction and tries to somehow repair the troops, but she is lacking in power.

Without Sofia to protect herself next to him, he would have been already a cold corpse.

‘It must be hard to avoid annihilation at this rate. ’

Kim Sung-cheol was worse than me.

He pops up behind the leader of the Demon Cavalry, grabs him by the neck with his right hand and breaks him.

The demons that saw their leader suddenly appear and die in one fell swoop, remembering a name and running away.

“Breaker sleep! The Destroyer is here! ”

The Demon Cavalry halts its attack and the horns scatter.

Kim Sung-cheol slowly went to the place where the Nine Crusaders were.

The battlefield was littered with Hellhounds, demons, and the corpses of the Savior Crusaders.

I couldn't find any survivors, but I noticed that the dizzy footprints point long south.

‘Looks like I retreated while killing demons. ’

No matter how difficult the war may be, he is the firstborn son of Martin Bregas.

You can't die in a place like this.

It was then.

“Huh? What's that? ”

While walking among the corpses, Bertelkia gives you a sudden look.

As Kim Sung-cheol turned his head, Bertella popped out of his pocket and stayed at one point.

There was a book down there.

A book filled with the ominous energy of blood-red leather.

“This. This smells really nasty. ”

Kim Sung-cheol looked at the book and nodded.

“I don't think it's a normal book. ”

Kim Sung-cheol bent his knees to examine the book.

The texture of the book is familiar to me.

‘You're dressed in human hide. ’

A book written only for demons.

Kim Sung-cheol picked up a book and practiced his emotions.

Soon, the information in the book appeared before his eyes.

< Book of Evil: Volume 7 >

However, there is a phrase in this book that cannot be ignored.

"The power of the devil"? ’

Then I hear people's urgent footsteps on the other side of the battlefield.

Soon, I heard their voices.

“Brother, this place is still dangerous! Let's go back, huh? ”

Sophia Bregas' voice.

Kim Sung-cheol hid himself in the fog of the battlefield and quietly observed the approaching people.

I hear another voice.

“We have to find the book! If we don't find that book, everything will be for nothing! ”

Ilya Bregas' voice.

He's wandering the floor of the battlefield with bloodshot eyes.

Kim Sung-cheol stared at a book with human leather in his hand.
