Necro Master

As Artadia warns, all challengers are fortified.

“Let's step back a little bit. ”

“Stay as far away from fog as possible. ”

“Yes. If the Demon King is coming, we don't need to march. ”

It was an unexpected development. However, challengers responded calmly, and loyalty was no different.

“Daphne, Shaolin. You two stay in the lead. Join me in taking on the Demon King at close range. ”

[Yes, sir.]

“Yes, brother. ”

I didn't know how many demons the Demon King was bringing. While the challengers attracted the attention of the other horsemen, this side had to face the Demon King directly.

“And Marek, Raleigh. You guys take Jeremy and take care of the other challengers. If they don't fall, they'll be able to take on the Demon King. ”

[Leave it to me.]

“Got it.”

Loyalty was the last thing I said to Artadia.

“I ask you to stay back while I deal with the Demon King. ”

“I'll do that. ”

She was going to fight with all her might the moment she encountered the Demon King anyway. They will make their own moves without asking for it.

Cerberus and the Actionist are not to be summoned at this time. First, I had to watch the flow.

So, while everyone is preparing and waiting for the camp, the time has finally come. Now the system has informed us of the Demon King's approach.

[Prepare for the appearance of the Demon King.]

[Soon he will show himself with the Horseman.]

How strong and numerous are they trying to bring back the Horsemen? I couldn't even imagine. Loyalty and all the challengers' hands were filled with sweat. While everyone was waiting with one mind, a black light flashed in front of everyone.

The size of the flashes ranged very wide, to exceed approximately 20 square feet.

Pa!

A huge black light flashes and everyone swallows.

“Relax!”

“Stay sharp! ”

However, shortly after the appearance of the Demon King, the challengers lost their words. It's because the Demon King and his troops were very surprised when the black light disappeared.

[The Demon King, Crochet, and one of his underlings appear before you.]

The challengers draw their weapons tightly, relaxing. I can't believe the Demon King only brought one Horseman. I didn't know you were going to be so defenseless.

The Demon King appeared with only one Horseman.

* * *

The Demon King was floating in the air about four meters from the ground. As soon as he appeared, he laughed like a madman. His gaze was precisely directed at loyalty.

“Hehehehehehehehe. I never thought I'd find you on my feet! Kuhahahahaha!”

I didn't say what came over my feet. But loyalty knew what he was talking about.

‘Are you saying that I'm glad I came in person with a dark speculation? ’

Perhaps that conjecture will be accurate. The Horsemen invaded the territory to retrieve the Dark Speculation.

Anyway, Crochet wasn't scared at all. A large number of troops stood before him. And I kept smiling as if I was in a good mood.

The Demon King is relaxed with many challengers in front of him. He opened his mouth.

“It's been a long time since you've made me happy, human. ”

Then I made a surprising offer.

“Now, do not resist, but hand it over to me gently. If you do that, I'll give you the honor of working for me! ”

At the same time, the system has been informed.

[I propose that the Demon Lord Crouch be your servant.]

[If you want to be Krosh's servant, you must give him every dark speculation you have.]

[And you will never disobey his orders in the future.]

The roughly explained system asked loyalty.

[Will you be the Demon King's servant?]

Of course, the answer to loyalty was fixed.

“I decline.”

The expression of the Demon King smiling excitedly at the rejection of loyalty suddenly cooled.

“Really?"

And no longer showed interest in loyalty.

“Then die. ”

Then the Demon King tried to start acting. But before the Demon King even moved, someone moved first. She was Artadia.

“You're making fun of yourself. You will soon regret coming here alone. ”

At the end of the speech, she immediately returned to the Bone Dragon. Loyalty agrees with her opinion. You have no idea how powerful the Demon King is, but you will soon regret coming alone. I told Daphne and Shaolin no more hesitating.

“Let's go.”

Loyalty hits the ground at the same time as giving the command.

Pavat!

Devon and Shaolin followed that kind of fidelity. The other challengers thought for a moment about how to react. However, the concern was brief. They switched their gazes and began to circle around to prevent the Demon King from escaping.

There was only one who hesitated here. He was the Demon King's follower.

“There are so many Humans, why don't we wait for the followers.... ”

However, his voice could not continue. Because the Demon Lord Crouch took his head by the hand.

“It's been a while since I've had a good time. Pick up Margie.”

The Demon King tried to scream when he used his skill.

“Ahhh... Ahhh...! ”

But even before that scream ended, the Mage's body withered like a mummy. And the dried body immediately twisted.

I can't believe you sacrificed your own men. Some of the challengers frowned on that cruel gesture.

However, their impression had to be further frowned. Why? Because everyone was given a fatal condition, not an exception to their loyalty towards the Demon King.

The Demon King opened his mouth and used a skill.

“Imprint of Darkness. ”

Then the evil energy spread from the Demon King's body all over the place.

[Demon King Crouch used the Dark Mark.]

[You cannot resist the brand of Darkness that Crossu used at your level.]

[All challengers on the battlefield will be branded with a dark curse.]

Loyalty has recently acquired a death guide glove. It was a glove that allowed everyone to resist any status conditions below a certain threshold. But it didn't work this time. It was a curse used by the Demon King.

Eventually, everyone except the Demon King was engraved with a dark brand. Of course, the target of the curse was limited to the ‘challenger’, so there were no loyal summoners. Nevertheless, the imprint of darkness made the situation very dark.

[From now on, the damage taken by Darkness's branded challengers is doubled.]

[Reduce Healing Skills by 70%.]

[Skill cooldown increased by 3x.]

[Increases the chance of being bewitched by the Demon King dramatically.]

[Overall movement is about 10% slower.]

[If you use a skill, you may have a 15% chance of failing... ….]

…….

The curse did not end there.

[From now on, the dark curse will eat away at your soul.]

[If you do not defeat the Demon King in 30 minutes, you will be the Demon King's slave forever.]

[If you don't think you can defeat the Demon King, I recommend suicide.]

[Challengers who commit suicide in less than 30 minutes can be born as residents somewhere.]

Challengers whisper in the news of a dangerous system. More than half of you speak worryingly.

“Huff... You'll live as a slave forever?" ”

“Wouldn't it be better to commit suicide now? ”

Nevertheless, some challengers struggled.

“What can the Demon King do alone? Let's just fight!”

“Okay, let's see... ”

However, the voice of those who struggled soon had to turn into despair. The Demon King didn't like how many challengers surrounded him.

“What a nuisance. Just be my slave. ”

At the end of the sentence, he continued to use a new skill.

“Delusional.”

At the same time, the system has been informed in the intestine.

[The Demon King uses deception on challengers.]

[You have a brand of darkness engraved on you.]

[Increases the chance of being hit by the Demon King's Enchantment Skill dramatically.]

Fortunately, loyalty was not affected by deceptive skills.

[Your mental breakthroughs are exceptional.]

[You are not deluded.]

But it was not a matter of not being loyal. The problem was the other challengers. Shortly after, the system gives you terrifying information.

[89 challengers turned to the Demon King.]

[Until the Demon King is defeated, they will become enemies and attack their allies.]

His loyalty to the news that 89 challengers were bewitched was disgraced.

‘This madness……! ’

The Demon King has yet to join the battle directly. I just used a simple curse and seduction skill. But the situation was the worst.

* * *

As the situation changed rapidly, the challengers were not deceived.

“Hey, Carl! Wake up, it's me! ”

“Back off, Smith! We're already enemies!”

In one fell swoop, 89 people were killed. Now the Demon King's forces have finally overwhelmed this side.

As I ran towards the Demon King, I quickly stopped my footsteps. If we stall here any longer, this mission will be surrounded and unsuccessful. I'm sure it's hard enough dealing with a Demon King, but it's even more impossible to deal with this many challengers.

However, even in the worst situation, loyalty quickly rolled over his head.

‘If this happens, I can't help it. ’

I didn't think I would use the number of spleens early. But now I felt I had to use it. Artadia was transformed into a Bone Dragon.

Loyalty calls out to the names and unmisled challengers. Fortunately, whether the application of deception has not completely settled, the challengers who are there have yet to show active movement.

“All aboard Artadia! ”

Artadia also noticed that the situation was unfamiliar. Because of this, I bent as easily as possible for other names to climb.

He looked like he was going to run away. Nevertheless, the Demon King showed little interest.

“You're buzzing like a bug. If I try to run away, it's in my palm. ”

How relaxed he was, and the challengers he misled didn't work out. I just let it go. Thanks to this, not only the name of loyalty, but the other challengers were able to reach Artadia without any difficulty.

Of course, the atmosphere of the challengers was not good.

“Huff. What should I do? Those who were together just now... ”

“I can't help it. Look at the situation.You 'll die at this rate. ”

“Ugh. Should I just kill myself?" Even if you run away... ”

But I didn't have time to grieve. Then the Demon King's words explained why he was relaxed.

“Hehe. Thoughts are good, but I won't let you fly." Chapter of Consolidation……. ”

But that was the end of the devil's voice. The loyalty of confirming that all the names and undefeated challengers were on Artadia's back, used one item.

“System! I use Ariel's feathers! ”

As the loyalty pulls Ariel's feather out of his arms and speaks, the system answers him.

[The challenger 'Lee Chong-ryul’ is a single-use item.]

[I used the Feather of the Angel Ariel.]

[A reverse portal associated with the celestial system will be created.]

Along with him, there was a tremor in front of him. The vibration was the sound of a portal being created.

Whoo-hoo! Whoo-hoo!

[In a moment, from the portal, countless angels will start pouring out.]

The sound of the system echoes to Artadia.

“Let's run!”

Then she answered without a word.

[I see.]

Then I immediately started flapping my wings.

The objective was to subdue the Demon King. Even if the angels defeat the Demon King, if this side survives, the mission will be declared complete. The Demon King's tempted challengers were unfortunate, but there was nothing he could do for them.
