The Returner

Herkana stares at Barbaca with a stiff face.

“Prepared for what? ”

“The stage.”

“Stage?”

Barbace nods quietly.

“There is a stage for Lee Hyuk and for us to end our toughest relationship, and a stage for our long, longest aspiration to conquer humans. Every stage has to be dramatic to taste good. ”

“Is that what this is? ”

“Yes."

“So you deliberately brought Lee Hyuk and others here? ”

“You know better. It's symbolic. ”

“Well, that's what I'd like to hear... but will it all work out the way you think? You haven't forgotten that the five Demon Kings are dead, have you? ”

“Heave-ho.”

Barbace shrugs and smiles.

“Obviously, you've gotten a little weird. ”

“That's what you see. ”

“No, no. You're really weird. You've forgotten too much. ”

“Forget?”

Erkana's eyes falter.

It's not just provocation. Barbatch was really looking at her strangely.

“Thinking with humans, living with them, even mindset resembles humans. It's strange. Humans are usually assimilated by the Horses.Even though you are diligent and strong, you are assimilated by Humans. Is it because the object of the fairy tale was so strong in spirit? ”

“… let's just get to the point. ”

Barbatch clenches his hand.

“Who am I? ”

“ ……. ”

“Think and speak, Herkana. Who I am. I am the Demon King of the beginning and the Demon King of the end. It's the beginning and the end of everything. ”

Herkana bites Ziggy's lip.

“Is that understood? ”

“... The sacrifices of the other Demon Kings are worthless to you. But it's obvious the power's down. ”

“Power down? Kuhahahaha!”

Barbatch blew up a photon shop.

“The fact that these things are dead reduces power? Herkana, you too have forgotten for too long. Who I am. ”

Barbace rises from his feet.

“I hate and respect a human being named Lee Hyuk because he was the only one who could put a sword in me that no Demon King or any other being could dare touch. Don't you know what that means? ”

Barbace looks at the human race and says,

“No matter how much you resist, nothing will change. I have nothing to show for it. ”

“All you had to do was talk. ”

“Maybe.”

Barbace looks at Herkana and says,

“My life is too long and boring. If you don't enjoy it when entertainment happens, it's too hard to live your whole life. ”

“Entertainment?”

“Yeah, it's entertainment. It's just entertainment. Otherwise, it's nothing that destroys Humans. For example, hmm……. ”

Barbace glances at the human side quietly and opens his mouth.

“The cards I have and the cards they have are so different. They do everything they can to survive now, but I can bring them down no matter what. For example……. ”

Barbatch flicks his fingers.

“Why don't we gather the forces divided into one place? ”

“What, what, what is that? ”

Choi Jung-hoon was frightened and looked back.

You feel a strange wave coming from behind you, and a huge gate is emerging. That wasn't the only one.

Choi Jung-hoon's face distorted when he saw the dozens of gates that appeared behind his back.

"No way!"

Why have they been able to fight the Demon King so far?

It's because they pushed forward with only their strength. If they had their strategy and focus, mankind would never have been able to deal with the Demon Kings. because the size of the force itself is different.

For example, if the demons were targeting those who were facing the Demon King, the armies of humanity could not stop them. The elite have been able to withstand the Demon King, and the army has been working on the task of stopping the horses.

But…….

If they have any idea what the gate behind them is, they will be stabbed where it hurts the most.

Rrrrgh!

Glug!

And the unfortunate feeling was not always wrong.

Monsters stream out of the gaping gate.

“Shit, behind you! ”

Those who had room for Choi Jung-hoon's shout looked back. The horsepower rushing towards them from the open gate.

Despair begins to grow in the eyes of those who look back.

* * *

“What is that? ”

I looked forward with my eyes shaking.

The horses rush back like crazy. To be precise, it would be better to divert and rush than to retreat.

“What's going on here? ”

An all-out war with horses for over a month. I think the behavior pattern of the devils is quite clear, but until now, he has never seen the devils retreat.

If you didn't run in the first place, if you start running once, you can never go backwards.

And it's not just retreating, it's running backwards.

‘Something happened. ’

Jung In-su was struck by an ominous feeling.

It's nice to hear that the horses will leave the front that didn't know when they were going to collapse, but those damn things couldn't have done any good for them.

It means you have to aim for something bigger or hit something more urgent than here. Even though they had never been intelligent and had never been able to carry out orders, they were intuitive.

This is a bad sign.

“Sa, Commander. ”

“… report to the top first. ”

“I understand.”

“And ask the top. ”

“About what? ”

“Lee Ji-hyuk's side... ”

Jung Myung Soo, who was about to say something, opened her eyes with her mouth shut.

I wanted to see something black bloom where the horses retreated, and a large gate was created.

“Damn it!”

The person who sensed that the worst was happening shouted.

“Contact your superiors right away and tell them that Jung-hoon Choi is in trouble! Come on!"

“Yes!”

“No... ”

Seeing the horses rushing into the gate, the essence is overwhelmed with despair.

If those horses are headed to the United States right now, the worst thing that can be imagined will happen.

“Please.”

Jung Myung Soo gripped his fist tightly.

* * *

Christopher throws the cigar on the floor.

“Push those powers in the rear into the front right now! Now!”

“Ha, but if you do that, the back will collapse! There are civilians behind it. ”

“Humanity will perish trying to save civilians! Sacrifice them and support them up front! ”

“… Commander! ”

“If you want to destroy the world with your own hands, why don't you? ”

“…… I'll give the order right now. ”

“Now!"

“Yes!”

Christopher trembles at the sight of the horses attacking the talents.

‘Damn it.'

Strategically, it's perfectly natural. Unlike Humans who have to stop the Horseman and the Demon King at the same time, the Horseman can simply defeat Humankind by defeating only the elite in charge of the front.

I am fully aware of the possibility and so far have not sought a countermeasure because I have used a method by which the Horsemen push only with force, excluding tactics or strategies, and the other is…….

‘There is no response. ’

It was an absolute difference in defense.

When you form an alliance of common and senior talent, they can't hurt the Demon Kings enough to be handed over.

However, they can be easily torn even if the body of the high powered is simple.

So if we get mixed up in a fight, it's a one-sided loss.

“Hurry! If we mix things up, it's over! ”

“Yes!”

Christopher looks at the battlefield nervously.

“Please.”

Things were getting worse.

* * *

“Ugh! You bastards! ”

Seo Ah-young raises a flame in both hands.

The ripples spread quickly.

Like shallow frozen ice on a lake slowly breaking into small shocks.

The speed is never fast, but there is no way to re-freeze the ice that once began to break. As soon as I started to ignore my back, the firepower that was concentrated forward began to disperse.

And that was the premonition of death.

“Never mind your back, you bastards! ”

Seo Ah-young lets out a flame in front of her screaming.

Cover your back.

Allies will definitely stop you.

We couldn't stop the Demon Kings if we trusted them and couldn't concentrate.

“Look ahead! Don't look back!”

Seo Ah-young was desperate.

She knows that. The moment the nerves are taken away from the back, everyone dies.

Most of their firepower was focused on ranged attacks. The moment the Demon Kings dig into their knitted formation, their firepower will be reduced rapidly, and the Demon Kings will start running wild. You cannot attack unless you intend to kill your allies together.

The Demon King had a good chance of surviving, even if he was ready to kill his companion. I should never have given you a distance....

At that moment, there was a black flame in Seo Ah-young's eyes.

Kuaaaaaa!

The flames that were flying from the Demon Kings swallow up your allies and soar into the sky.

Not even a scream.

Only the vacancies of those who have reconciled to nothing are left without being able to leave even a second.

“This……. ”

The Demon King revealed himself through the Aether and smiled bitterly.

‘… it was strange. ’

There's no way the Demon Kings won't be able to leave Mana.

So why now?

Ugh.

Seo Ah-young sharpened her teeth.

“I'm not playing with people, you bastards. ”

You hear a low laugh.

At first, the smile that sounded very faint in the storm grew bigger and bigger, and soon it started ringing loudly as if it was tearing its ears.

“Ugh!”

Seo Ah-young throws the flame forward.

must be stopped.

It was over if I started pushing back and forth like this. Their defeat does not end with mere death. It is the end of mankind.

‘It's too big. ’

The hope I had before seems to be a lie.

The power car between them and the Horsemen was so big. The overwhelming difference that the body did not know, although understood by the head, began to feel as real as the skin.

And that moment.

Whoo-hoo.

Seo Ah-young looked up with trembling eyes.

“Oh, no... ”

Seo Ah-young cries out in despair as she looks over her head at the massive gate that begins to open into the air.

“Enough, you bastards! ”

The horses begin to fall like a rain of excellence from an open gate, like the mouth of a demon.
