I Became the Burden of a Conscienceless Party - I Became the Burden of a Conscienceless Party chapter 162

162 – Demon King Belphegor (1)

Demon King Belphegor (1)

At that moment, Jim and Lilith were sweating profusely as they looked at the empty cave.

The situation where two people who should be fighting right now have disappeared.

There was no other noise around, so I guess they moved.

In the first place, it is impossible for two people to fight quietly.

So how did things turn out?

“Wow, that’s ridiculous. I clearly sent His Majesty this way… … .”

Jim looked at Lilith to see if she had deceived him, but it seemed like she had no idea either.

This situation isn’t just a problem for Jim.

From the beginning, wasn’t the warrior party planning to attack together with La Pa and take down Belphegor?

The method was to find a ‘probability’ among countless impossibilities.

“My mother ran away.”

When everyone was confused, it was none other than Tina who cleared up the current situation.

No, to be exact, Tanada, who is also Rapha’s daughter.

She knows her parents so well that it’s annoying. Rapha is a really cowardly person.

Although she is a being with overwhelming power, she does not receive much attention, but she is a typical example of the strong and weak.

Didn’t he just step down when Jim was in a higher position than him?

Tana was skeptical from the beginning.

Rapha is stalling for time against something stronger than himself?

“Because my mother is a very cowardly, mean, and cunning person.”

“… … .”

However, if Rapha, who had been trying to block Belphegor to some extent, heard this, it would make him shed tears of blood.

However, in the end, Rapha chose to step down after seeing Belphegor’s condition, so there was no need to feel wronged.

“There is almost no trace of the mother here in the first place. She probably fled as soon as she saw the Demon King’s power.”

“Well, considering that two people had collided, I thought there was little damage.”

“… … Is this a small amount? I feel like I have indirectly experienced the reason why His Majesty did not step forward directly.”

The scale of the cave has changed. No, it’s hard to even call it a cave in the first place because the ceiling is so open.

Lilith was once again struck with goosebumps by Belphegor’s majesty.

Furthermore, if you listen to Tana’s words, you can say that all of these traces of destruction were left behind by the Demon King Belphegor.

As far as Tana remembers, Rapha’s attack left a clear scar.

A wound that gnaws at the world itself. It was a power that symbolized her evil in itself, enjoying deceiving people and making them suffer.

“I see. Thank you for revealing my parents’ incompetence in this way. Tana.”

“Then, can’t I do this much for you? In the first place, you’re the one who betrayed your mother and stuck with you.”

“There’s no need to put yourself down like that, Tana.”

As she spoke, Tana began to pester Jim. No, to be precise, it would be more accurate to say that she clung to him.

“Now, wait a minute. What does that mean? Am I the only one who doesn’t know?”

And Liris couldn’t help but question such a natural appearance. In the first place, she couldn’t understand Tina’s appearance of being out of her mind since earlier.

What the hell is this?

“Now is not the time to be discussing such things, Lilith.”

“… … This could be my life at stake?”

Lilith felt rather embarrassed by Jim’s firm attitude.

Is that all there is to it? Isn’t marriage something that should definitely be addressed?

However, the innocent Lilith could not escape Jim’s clutches.

“The important thing is that the Demon King is not here right now. What judgment do you think the Demon King Belphegor has made at this point in time, Lilith?”

“… … .”

No, to be exact, it would be more correct to say that nothing else came to mind besides the pattern of Belphegor’s behavior that was pictured in my head.

Lilith knows. She knows Belphegor well, as they are family.

She is never the type of person to chase after a running away opponent.

Because he is a person who knows the pros and cons of work and what is important at the moment.

Moreover, just by looking at this level of destruction, you can get an estimate.

“… …Your Majesty considers it inevitable and natural that friendly troops die during war.”

“Irresponsible… … seems a little different.”

“Yes, to be exact.”

Lilith closed her eyes tightly and then slowly opened them and said.

“I think that dying in a ‘battle with enemies’ is inevitable.”

“… … .”

“It means that you should avoid dying by your own hands as much as possible.”

If so, there is something we can tell just by looking at the traces of destruction left here.

Belphegor’s power is excessive.

Just swinging it around is enough to destroy the entire surrounding area.

So, in this situation now, now that the biggest variable has been confirmed to have been defeated, it means that the last shackle that was holding Belphegor back has disappeared.

“… … There is a high probability that he intends to cross over to the human world alone and end a war that hasn’t even started.”

As someone said.

Something that some people have questioned.

Why didn’t Belphegor, who had such overwhelming power, step forward himself?

What happened now is both the answer and the proof that she could have done it at any time.

***

The second was already crowded to the point where it was impossible to identify the enemy.

My vision was blurry and I couldn’t feel my limbs.

In a situation where he couldn’t even tell if he was swinging his arms and legs properly, he continued fighting, relying solely on his intuition.

“vicious……!”

Water Heaven Varuna stuck out his tongue at the sight of that second.

The second has not yet crossed the wall, meaning he is still within the expected range of twelve thousand without growing.

But I couldn’t finish it. Because that damn feeling turned the situation that should have died upside down several times.

Even so, Second was cornered. He allowed several attacks without being able to get over the wall, and the scars remain.

Moreover, none of the twelve thousand who were attacking the second at that moment deserted.

This means that the joint attack continued organically, but it also means that he was sent back to the battlefield several times through healing through divine power.

That is, it is no exaggeration to say that the Second actually fought against more than six enemies out of twelve thousand.

That’s why the Twelve Thousand found it difficult to move rashly any longer.

‘It’s precarious.’

If you push a little harder, even if you’re a second, you won’t be able to hold out. You’ll definitely die.

But at the same time, if you provoke him just a little more, there is a possibility that he will eventually go over the wall.

And what was most frightening was the burden felt by the Twelve Thousand who had already allowed him to attack them numerous times and had to fall down and get up repeatedly.

They know.

‘There will definitely be deaths in the next attack.’

In order to finish off the Second, who is standing with his whole body wounded, the Twelve Thousand must also pay a price.

The second may be weaker in practical terms, but its senses are sharper than ever.

A cornered mouse bites a cat, and the second is not a mere mouse, but a wolf king who rules the wilderness.

“I will do it.”

The next attack is sure to kill someone, and there’s no guarantee that it will succeed.

It’s a point where there’s a high probability that you’ll make a sacrifice just for the next opportunity.

A person has emerged who has taken the initiative to take on that role.

“When I die, make sure to wrap things up properly. Don’t let anything get any more difficult than this.”

Water Heaven, Varuna.

She prepared for the final blow, exuding brazen aggression.

She doesn’t leave anyone behind either. She assumes death from the start and deals with the second with certainty.

The other twelve thousand people were also amazed by that sight and prepared to die.

A completely different attitude from their parents.

As bearers of responsibility rather than recipients, they certainly bore the weight.

bang!

As Varuna rises into the air, water streams shoot up from underground as if to follow her.

While the other twelve thousand took their stances to protect her.

The rising water streams rotate and create a whirlpool.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Following this, several similar streams of water shoot up from the ground, forming a whirlpool.

Each one is large enough to completely envelop a dragon of enormous size.

Such vortices rose up in numbers that were too numerous to count with the eyes.

Quaddududuk!

And the vortices spin around and around, swallowing up other vortices around them and growing larger.

Dozens of intense vortices were created after repeated vortices became intertwined and compressed their power.

The vortices, powerful enough to tear a body apart in an instant just by touching one, cover each other again to form a single structure.

A whirlpool created by gathering water streams that cannot be compressed any further or combined any further.

And the power and fatal blow of Varuna that weaves the vortex into a single net.

A net of water that rises from the earth, covers the sky, and holds all things.

“Nagapasha.”

It is literally the net of heaven, wide and wide but not missed.

Varuna’s unavoidable, fatal blow engulfed Second.
