Heavenly Inquisition Sword - Chapter 1458



Only Noblemtl

1458th. Don’t do that.

Elio frowned at the question, ‘Why did the great Demon Lord become the great warrior of the insect-like human race?’

Although he did not identify himself with other world humans, he still felt bad when they treated him like an insect.

Naturally, Elio’s answer was also blunt.

“Because I decided to do it. Is there a problem?”

Paimon Grouse, the lord of Asatra, was astonished by these outrageous words.

But on the other hand, I nodded.

‘Indeed! That’s a voice worthy of the monarch of Mokubas.’

Excluding Moloch, there are two other Demon Lords who died at the hands of the Lord of Mokubas.

There are three since he recently killed Berris, but since that wasn’t known yet, Paimon Grouse knew there were two.

In fact, killing three monarchs at once was a rare occurrence in the history of the Demon Race.

Paimon Grouse immediately lowered his tail.

“I asked a pointless question. Then let me change the question. The demons will try to take over the human lands. Do you intend to fight all the demons?”

“Of course. I will fight the demons as the great warrior of the human race.”

“You are a demon, so why do you side with humans so much?”

This is a slightly different question than before.

Elio also stopped going out because of Paimon Grouse’s polite attitude.

“I don’t think of humans as prey. Human wisdom is on par with that of demons. You can tell just by looking at their magic guns and cannons. Am I wrong?”

“Ugh!”

A groan escaped Paimon Grouse’s mouth.

It wasn’t exactly wrong to say that human wisdom rivaled that of demons.

With the ice wall gone, the northern human army that returned was incredibly strong.

“So we are not insects, and certainly not food. Humans deserve to be in their proper place.”

“It may be possible with wisdom and force alone, but humans are dogs of Mana Phtras. Why would the Demons fight for the dogs of Mana Phtras?”

“Why? I haven’t received a single grain of rice from the evil god Shaitin. Whichever way I choose, it’s my freedom.”

Only then did Paimon Grouse take a good look at the monarch of Mokubas.

“Huh! You really don’t have any magic power! It’s not even the power of Manaptras… … . Is that a spirit?”

Spirit energy is the energy that resides at the root of all living things, and it is possessed by both demons and monsters. It is surprising that they were able to reach such a level with such a small amount of power.

“I am not on Shaitin’s side, nor on Mana Phtras’ side.”

That was Elio’s true heart.

After learning of the hidden past of this world (the history of ancient times), he decided to take a middle ground.

It was the same even now, when he claimed to be the great warrior of the human race.

He fought as a great warrior to prevent the destruction of humanity, not to destroy the demon race.

As the conversation between Elio and Paimon Grouse dragged on, the battle entered a lull.

Suddenly, Paimon Grouse gestured to the one remaining champion, Abalim.

Soon the demon army retreated like an ebb tide.

Rather than ending the battle, it was done to prevent loss of power as the conversation dragged on.

The Eschatos Kingdom Army and the Raminoff Kingdom Army also retreated in response.

Paimon Grouse asked, sighing lightly.

“So what do you want?”

“I have traveled to Tameion. It is as vast as the territory of the human race. I wish the demon race would return and live beyond the ice wall.”

“The demons did not leave Tameion to expand their territory. We came to this land to judge the dogs of Mana Phtras.”

“Don’t do that.”

“… … .”

Paimon Grouse blinked for a moment at Elio’s straightforward words.

“No matter how much you are the monarch, you cannot go against Shaitin’s will.”

“No, there is.”

“What is that… … .”

Elio interrupted Paimon Grouse.

“You know about the ancient war, right? So you’re going to talk about judgment.”

“Yes.”

Was the conversation too much? Paimon Grouse nodded with a slightly tired expression.

“Whether it’s Shaitin or Mana Phtras, they’re not the absolute gods you think they are. They’re just relatively strong. For example, the Titans are stronger than the Shaitin. The Titans are searching for the absolute gods that may exist in the universe.”

“That and you going against Shaitin’s will… … .”

“I am stronger than the Demon Lords. All the Demon Lords I have met either died by my hand or submitted to me.”

“I know that you killed Moloch, Mammon, and Rabbah.”

“You want to say, ‘There are only three of us’? Shamos surrendered to me a long time ago, and you killed Beris not long ago. Don’t you think that gives you the right to say something like that?”

“Are you trying to go against Shaitin?”

“If Shaitin gets in the way of what I’m doing, we might have a fight.”

Paimon Grouse shook his head with a bewildered expression.

You’ve already defeated five Demon Lords, and now you dare to fight Shaitin!

Is the monarch of Mokubas crazy?

“Haa! I admit that you are strong enough to defeat five Demon Lords. However, Lord Shaitin is incomparably stronger than the Demon Lords… … He is a god.”

The Demon Lords lived for hundreds of thousands of years and never referred to themselves as gods.

To them, the only god was Shaitin.

But that was only the devil’s thinking, and to Elio, God was just a relatively superior being.

“Hey, don’t think that just because I can’t do it, others can’t. I have many nicknames… … One of them is God Slayer. I’ve killed many self-proclaimed gods here.”

Paimon Grouse looked at the Lord of Mokubas with complicated eyes.

Moloch, Mammon, Rabbah, Shamos, and Beris.

They were all demon lords with outstanding abilities.

No, in the first place, if you don’t have the ability to transcend race, you can’t become a monarch.

Of course, there is an unseen hierarchy even among monarchs.

Although he is higher in rank than those five, the problem is that he did not only fight them 1:1.

The monarch of Mokubas fought and won against Mamon, Rabba, and Shamos.

No matter how high his rank was, he had no confidence that he could win against those three.

The monarch of Mokubas was stronger than himself.

However, even though he is the monarch of Asatra, he cannot just step down like this.

After much thought, Paimon Grouse opened his mouth.

“Lord of Mokubas! If you subdue me, I will follow your will.”

It is a euphemism for ‘I will fight you, but please don’t kill me.’

Elio, who was quick-witted, understood right away.

“Good. Instead, if you lose, convey my will to the northern demons. The Lord of Mokubas has stepped forward as the great warrior of the human race, so if you wish to live, return to Tameion.”

“I don’t know if they’ll turn back after hearing that… … but I’ll pass it on.”

“That’s enough. Now, let’s see who is stronger among us.”

Elio had no intention of killing Paimon Grouse.

Because I think the restoration of the North will be faster if we use Paimon Grouse.

As the Lord of Mokubas finished speaking, Paimon Grouse slowly drew out his two daggers.

Paimon Grouse, a member of the Demon tribe, stands over 3 meters tall.

As a result, even though it was a dagger, it was only as big as a person.

Compared to Paimon Grouse, Elio looks like a child.

Is it because of physical superiority?

Paimon Grouse swung his dagger without hesitation.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! KWAANG―!

A deafening explosion erupted between the two monarchs.

Paimon Grouse, who had been pushing forward with force, changed his method when the Lord of Mokubas blocked him without a fight.

Suddenly his daggers were engulfed in flames.

The flaming swords swept towards Elio once again.

Elio leaped to the height of Paimon Grouse’s face and released his Aura Blade.

Kwajik! Kwajik! Kwajik! Kwajijik―!

The sound of an explosion was strangely muffled by the flames, and fireballs flew in all directions.

Some of them flew towards Elio’s body, but were blocked by his self-defense weapon and bounced off.

The fireballs that fell on the snowfield continued to burn even after being buried in the snow.

As time passed, the surrounding area turned into a sea of ​​fire due to the fireballs that fell on the snowfield.

The Demon Legion and the Eschatos Kingdom Army hurriedly moved away from the battlefield of the monarchs.

Eventually, an area of ​​about 500 meters in all directions centered around the two monarchs turned into a sea of ​​fire.

Immediately afterwards, fiery tornadoes rose from the sea of ​​fire and rushed towards Elio.

It was Paimon Grouse’s ultimate skill, Flame Tornado.

Elio did not know that the fire whirlwind was created by Paimon Grouse.

Because Paimon Grouse was concentrating on his sword fight with himself.

It is also possible that the fire whirlwind occurred naturally.

Then, when the fiery whirlwinds all rushed towards him, he thought, ‘Oops!’

But Paimon Grouse also doesn’t know his opponents well.

Elio was trapped in a whirlwind of fire when he escaped using the magic of the Ihyeonghwanwi.

He flew over Paimon Grouse’s head in one breath and swung his Void Sword fiercely.

You had the luxury of setting up traps during a duel with yourself!

Elio, whose pride was deeply wounded, spared no effort.

WHWWWWW!

The long, whip-like aura blade wrapped around Paimon Grouse’s head.

Paimon Grouse, startled, crossed his daggers to protect his head.

Wow!

A dagger snapped with a heavy sound.

Still, Aura Blade’s momentum did not die down one bit.

Feeling the danger, Paimon Grouse quickly bent down, but one of his horns ended up getting caught in the Aura Blade.

Kwajik-!

For the Demon race, the horn is the source of magical power.

The dagger fell from Paimon Grouse’s hand, who had lost half of his magical power in an instant.

I gave up the fight.

Elio, holding the greatsword, landed gracefully in front of Paimon Grouse.

“The last move was good. I was completely fooled.”

Elio was not sparing in his praise.

I was honestly surprised that he was able to use such a large-scale magic in the midst of a fierce swordfight with himself.

It was a realm that no human could even dream of.

I couldn’t help but be amazed once again by the abilities of the Demon Lord.

If the opponent hadn’t been flustered by the Lee Hyeong-hwan situation, the fight would have been a little more intense.

Paimon Grouse picked up his fallen horn and laughed bitterly.

Flame Tornado is a magic that is beyond the level of the 9th circle.

I don’t understand how you, who aren’t even demons, can survive in that sea of ​​fire.

‘I thought it was a bluff when you said you could fight Shaitin… … .’

Now that I actually fight it, it seems possible.

Paimon Grouse, who had thought that far, spoke to Grand Master Elio Lagoa.

“I have lost. As promised, I will deliver your message to the northern demons. The Lord of Mokubas has come forward as the great warrior of the human race, so the demons should return to Tameion.”

“But how many Demon Lords have advanced to the North?”

“Five monarchs came from the area that bordered the human lands first… … so three remained.”

“One more? Are you saying there are more to come?”

“That will be the case until your will is known to Tameion. Most of them will follow your will, but some may come north to test you.”

“who?”

“No monarch stronger than me will accept it until he sees it for himself.”

“Aha! Tell them to come to me separately. If they mistreat the humans… … I will return the favor to their territory.”

“Understood. I will convey your wishes to the lords of the North and Tameion.”

Soon after, the demon army of Lord Paimon Grouse left the snowfield.

The Raminov Kingdom army moved down to the second line to recover from the damage, and the Eschatos Kingdom army took the lead again.
