The Returner

[497] 5. A Monster vs. Monster Battle (2)

“That's a good metaphor. ”

Thulean is dead.

“I particularly like the fact that humans are compared to cockroaches. I thought you guys said it was an abomination worm. ”

“Well, what should I call it……. ”

Alpha scratched his head.

“Cockroaches are disgusting, actually. ”

“You seem to be a very useful creature compared to you humans. There is no life more monstrous than yours in all dimensions. ”

“You people are such scum for sticking straws in that creepy creature. Self criticism is good, but don't you think you should refrain from self-discipline? ”

Thulean glances at the Alpha with its lively eyes.

“Humans! ”

“Ah, yes. The Horseman, or should I say the Demon King? ”

The Alpha extends its arms and opens its base.

“I thought I'd get used to it, but this is it. There's no such thing as the Demon King. Or maybe I'm too strong. ”

“ ……. ”

Thulean finds no words to argue with.

What the hell is going on here? ’

The Alpha's strength was beyond their wildest imagination. This wasn't the only power a human could produce.

Of course, a strange species such as Lee Hyuk can emerge from humans. However, Lee Hyuk's strength was the result of gaining eternal time. Seeing the power that humans could never have, the balance was broken.

But that's not what an Alpha is.

How?

The Alpha's explanation was avoiding the point.

I'm not wrong.

Compared to the speed at which the Horses become stronger, the speed at which humans become stronger is beyond common sense.

Just by learning how to handle Mana, humans can become 1,000 times more powerful in decades.

However, human growth is blocked by the walls of time. As the body ages, and the brain ages, its growth slows, and soon it dies.

From the point of view of the Horseman, he raises his power like a flame for the same amount of time, and then dies without becoming strong enough.

It was Lee Hyuk who broke through the walls of that time.

He was never stronger at a faster pace than other humans. Compared to the humans called geniuses in Beraf, you are far too late to learn them.

Nevertheless, after digging magic for thousands of years based on a unique human growth rate, the human body grew to the level of the devil.

The horses are inherently strong enough to base Mana against humans, but do not show the same rate of growth as humans. I have to say, there's very little growth compared to humans.

So I understand the case of Lee Hyuk...

‘This human has not lived for even half a hundred years. ’

Then, how can I get to such a class?

In half a century, humans will possess more power than the Demon King? How did you do that?

Growing Humans can be stronger than the Demon King.

As the Alpha has said, if cockroaches were the size of humans, humans would be slaughtered without doing anything. No living creature, not just humans, will be able to cope with the cockroaches.

But the question he had was not why the big cockroach was so strong, but how the cockroach got so big.

“How can you be so strong? ”

“Ah……. ”

Alpha sighs.

“Don't be so sarcastic, I didn't get caught. I had to throw everything away and roam like a puppy to get this power. Well, it was a surprise to find out that it was more in line with my original personality. If it wasn't for this era, I probably wouldn't have been so desperate. Otherwise, I would have become the second person to handle everything while being punished by the first person. What do you think?”

“... What are you talking about, Human? ”

“It's simple. I just worked a little hard on someone who could make me this way. I need you to make me stronger. The outcome was far beyond what I had thought. ”

Alpha sticks out his tongue and licks his lips.

‘Then how strong was Lee Ji-hyuk? ’

Now his power comes from Lee Hyuk. Lee Hyuk told me that mixing Manawa and ether properly can produce tens of times the output of his original strength.

However, despite this much power, Lee Hyuk seemed to think that Alpha's strength was not enough. Even though these Demon Lords are being torn from his hands like vermin, they don't consider Alpha to be an EZ. revolution.

‘Moreover, Lee Hyuk in the past did not handle the ether. ’

The combination of ether and Mana will not only increase his strength, but also his advantage. Everyone who was trained by Lee Hyuk mixed ether and mana to maximize their power.

Then, Lee Hyuk is also able to exert more power than the past by mixing the two together.

‘If the body can survive. ’

Compared to ordinary people, even the flesh of the alpha, like steel, was struggling with the fusion of the two. So Lee Hyuk's weakened body couldn't bear it.

It was no exaggeration that Lee Hyuk's body was no better than that of ordinary people.

With the recent use of ether, Lee Hyuk's body was pudding level if the Alpha's body was made of steel.

‘If he had the Aether in his prime, the balance of the world would have been broken. ’

I didn't want to know what benefits I would have shown. Horror movies are not a taste. Horror is either haunted or funny, cosmic horror was an alpha that negates.

“Hey, can I ask you a question? ”

Tulian glances at the Alpha.

“I seem to be fighting well against the two Demon Kings right now, how about comparing me now to Iz-hyuk in the past? Am I close to Lee Hyuk's level? ”

Thulean's mouth dries up.

“Lee Ji-hyuk? The Nineteenth Demon King? Are you discussing the power of the Nineteenth Demon King? ”

Thulean's reaction was quite aggressive.

“It seems the insignificant human gains a little power and there's nothing left to see. Humans, you are but a man. You have no idea how great he was as a man on the Demon King. ”

“What a strange way of thinking. Do we acknowledge Lee Hyuk, who came to the Demon King as the human body, as the Demon King because we despise humans? ”

“The name 'Demon King' is not born. Even if it is a worm, being on the Demon King means being recognized. You'll never know. ”

“Ah, yes. I've listened to enough of the Demon King's praisers, who stood on the throne of that relentless Demon King and was being seduced by a lowly Human. I just want to brief you on that. So what's the difference between Lee Hyuk and me? based on the peak period. ”

“Ten seconds, according to your time? ”

Thurlang chuckles and laughs.

It is not easy to see the distorted faces of Tuleran, not human, with laughter, but I can still feel his emotions.

Laughing.

“If you can last ten seconds, you're worth bragging about. ”

“... You're losing to me. ”

“Yeah, I wouldn't last 10 seconds. But so are you. You've never seen Lee Hyuk really go crazy. You will never understand that there was a moment when the magic system was terrified by just one person. How dare you want to be compared to Lee Hyuk? ”

Thulerang blew up the Mine.

“You little mortal, you pretend to be anything just because you have that much power. I admit, I'm not up to your strength. Perhaps you can remain mortal beyond the Demon King. As long as your history is told. But only that, you will never survive. I assure you, you will not see the rising sun. ”

“This is, like, a very strange and interesting threat. ”

Alpha smiled and said.

“But why don't we start worrying about you now? If I didn't have a choice, you'd be dead by my hand right now. ”

“Hehe, that's a disgrace. But it doesn't matter, because you're going to follow me, too. Barbatch won't let any of you live. ”

“... Ah, I feel pathetic. What did the Demon King say, pretending to be so damn good, and finally relying on a stronger Demon King? Where did you sell your pride as a Demon King? ”

“Heave-ho.”

Even though it may sound humiliating, Tulairan was not angry.

“It's inevitable to be so trivial compared to him. Enjoy it now, mortal. Enjoy as much as you want for a short time, just one day. ”

Alpha's face is slightly stiffened.

“Soon when he does, you will truly despair.... ”

Quadrudruple!

An Alpha's foot crushes Tul-ran's head and bursts.

“I said a lot of things. ”

Alpha shakes his head.

The other Demon Lord didn't see him running away that long. I lost the Demon King after all, but I felt good about it.

“Hey, boss. ”

“Hmm?"

“Looks like the Demon Kings are coming, too. ”

The alpha nods quietly as he approaches behind his back and hears his screaming servant.

“They're getting filthy. ”

“They'll do their best. If it all comes down to it today. ”

Alpha frowns slightly.

“Just because the fight with the Mages is over doesn't mean it's over. That's when it started. ”

“I know, boss. ”

“Don't forget the purpose. This is just a passing phase. We go higher. ”

“Of course. That's why everyone's following the boss, isn't it? Giving you that fucking personality. ”

“… a fucking character……. That's what you said after experiencing Lee Hyuk. ”

The servant trembles.

“The NDF are all psychos. How do you live with a man like that? Damn, that's creepy. ”

“Heave-ho.”

Alpha looks back slightly.

There lies the body of a broken Tulerran.

‘That's how strong this Barbacean is. ’

Alpha licked his lips quietly.

Happiness was coming.

“This is going to be fun. Very funny. ”

“First, we have to solve the problem in front of us. The kids are here. ”

“Okay, okay. You must have a thorn in your mouth if you didn't make me eat it. ”

The Alpha takes a step, grumbling.

He had no confidence that he could overcome this fight. Given the power of the Demon Kings, it must be true that we are still at war without a chance.

Nevertheless, the Alpha could smile.

‘The world has become hell, but this is heaven compared to where we were before. ’

Alpha smiles white.
