Side Story Chapter 139 - Thousand-Year War (12)
“What the...?”
The black mucus splattered all over the ground gathered. It then split, revealing yellow eyes.
“He’s... alive?”
Lucifer stepped backward, unable to understand. A demon’s regenerative capabilities far surpassed those of other lifeforms. A prince of Hell could regenerate their limbs in a few minutes. However, not even a prince of Hell could survive after their heads exploded.
“Argh!! Gahh!!! AAAAAAAAAHHH!!!”
Just then, Lucifer heard screams. He turned to the source of the sound and saw Belphegor writhing in pain on the ground.
“Wh-What the hell?!! WHAT THE HELL IS THIS THING?!!”
Mouths the size of fingernails appeared from the black mucus that had splattered on Belphegor’s arm after he destroyed the human’s head and feasted on Belphegor’s flesh.
“GET OFF!! GET THE FUCK OFF!!!”
Belphegor used Sloth to tear off the mouths devouring his arm but the mouths were stuck to his skin by the sharp teeth; not even a Hell Armament could scratch them out. Rather, the mouths began to bite into Belphegor’s arm even more ferociously.
“AAAAAAAAAAAAACCCKKK!!!”
Belphegor struggled as the extreme pain shooting from his arm spread throughout his body. He transformed Sloth into a knife, stuck it into his armpit, and cut off his arm.
“Huff, huff, huff!!!”
The excruciating pain vanished only after he severed his arm. The pain of severing his arm remained but it was nothing compared to the pain of getting devoured by those mouths.
“What in the...”
Lucifer turned around in shock.
Splat, splat.
The human, whose head was back to normal before they realized it, slowly walked toward them, viscous fluid splashing with each step.
“Kuh!”
Lucifer spread his eight wings wide and extended his arms.
Whoooom!!
Black spheres the size of basketballs appeared around him. The black hole spheres that sucked and pulverized everything in its path fired at the human.
Crack—!!!
The human was ground up inside the black hole.
Wriggle.
“No way...!”
However, the pieces of the human’s flesh wriggled and gathered again. The human regained his original shape in a matter of seconds.
“Puhihi!! What about this?!”
Mammon also attacked with the Authority of Blaze. Flames that could devour the world alive burned the human.
“Puhi! However persistent your regenerative powers are, you won’t be able to regenerate if there’s nothing left of you!” Mammon laughed as his fat jiggled. “Puhihi! That was a rather tenacious human.”
He couldn’t believe a human could come back completely fine even after getting their head blown off and their body pulverized. No, such a creature couldn’t even be called human.
“Mammon...”
Lucifer raised his hand in pallor.
“Puhi?”
“Behind you...”
“What’s behind m—”
Split.
A mouth opened unnaturally wide and bit off a large part of Mammon’s fatty right nape.
“GEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHH!!!” Mammon screeched with his eyes rolled back.
Pain so excruciating that he had never felt before spread from his right nape throughout his body.
“GYAAAAHHH!! IT HURTS!! IT HUUUUUUUURTS!!!”
It was so bad that his mind went blank; he had no leeway to consider his reputation or pride as a prince of Hell.
“P-Prince Mammon!!!”
Mammon’s retainers who had been standing by quickly ran to him and tried to pull off the mouth biting into Mammon’s nape.
Crunch—!!
“ARRRRGGGHHHHH!!”
“M-MY AAAAAAAAAAAAARMMM!!!”
The black mucus on Mammon’s nape bubbled up and produced more mouths, making it look like a giant slime with mouths all over it. The retainers who tried to pull off the black mucus from Mammon were also eaten.
“D-Don’t touch that monster!! Just cut off Mammon’s nape!!” shouted the panting Belphegor as he was clenching his severed stump.
“AAAAAAAHHH!!!”
[Shit!!] Satan looked around in pallor but couldn’t find anywhere to run. [N-No—]
“A-Arghh.”
The moment the black tsunami riddled with mouths was about to engulf the princes, it stopped in its tracks.
“A-Aaahh. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!”
The monster inside the black mucus pulled on his hair as he writhed in agony.
[N-Now’s our chance!!]
The princes did not miss the opportunity and escaped from the part of the black wave that had yet to close.
“AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!”
They got further away from the roaring monster.
***
“Mmrghh...”
Balrog opened his eyes. He could still feel intense pain from his wounds that had not been healed yet.
“Kurgh!” he grimaced as he stood up. “What in the...”
He looked around to see piles of demon corpses that had been torn apart by something sharp. He couldn’t tell because they were mangled so badly but they seemed to be the princes’ retainers.
“What in the world happened?”
Balrog remembered Kang-Woo declaring that he would become king but nothing after that. He thought he had faintly heard the princes’ screams.
‘Did that human... defeat the princes?’
He had no idea but it was possible. After all, the demonic energy inside that human far surpassed even that of the princes of Hell.
‘But he said he couldn’t control it.’
Balrog wondered if the human somehow found a way to control the demonic energy amidst the crisis. Balrog walked as he looked around.
“Gahh!! Urgh!!! Arrgghhh!!!”
He found Kang-Woo writhing in pain among the pile of countless demon corpses.
‘That... doesn’t seem to be the case.’
If the human had found a way to control the boundless demonic energy, he wouldn’t be in that state.
“A-Arrghhh!!!”
“...”
Kang-Woo was in a state so wretched that not even Balrog, who had lived through countless battlefields, could bear to look at him.
Crunch!! Split, crack!!
Kang-Woo’s skin split, his flesh and muscles contorted, and his bones broke. His eyeballs and intestines were squashed like a pulp and flowed out of him. Balrog was fine with seeing that but the issue was that the human was still alive in that wretched state.
“GAAAAAAAHHH!!! AAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!”
His injuries went through a cycle of regeneration and destruction. To make a comparison, it was like turning a rubber doll inside out to carve out its insides, running it through a mixer, and gluing it back together. Kang-Woo's desperate screams sent chills down Balrog’s back.
“...”
Balrog picked up Kang-Woo in silence. He placed him inside a small cave in a rock wall that had formed from the battle and stood in front of the entrance. Kang-Woo’s screams echoed endlessly inside the cave.
“Ah...”
Something fell from the sky— something white and cold that didn’t match the burning red sky.
“Snow...”
Snow in Hell was extremely rare as well as highly lethal.
Sizzle—!
Snow in Hell contained acid so powerful that it could melt a demon’s flesh. Most demons hid in caves or some sort of shade to avoid snow whenever it fell.
“...”
Balrog blocked the entrance of the tiny cave with his five-meter stature. The flesh-melting snow piled on him.
Sizzle—!
Smoke rose as Balrog’s skin melted but it was alright— he wouldn’t die from something like this.
“AAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHHH!!!”
The screams inside the cave did not stop.
“You said you would become king, correct?”
Balrog recalled Kang-Woo’s declaration to the princes of Hell as he blocked the snowfall, which was getting heavier, with his body. He smiled.
‘If you will become king... then I, Balrog, will become your shield.’
The remnant who was unable to protect his master made a new vow— one that would not waver even in a wretched war that lasted a thousand years.
“Victory... to my king.”
