Chapter 505 - Day of the Apocalypse (2)

Oh Kang-Woo and his comrades gathered in one place after the meal Layla had suggested every have together.

“Sheesh.” Cha Yeon-Joo sighed deeply and stared at Kang-Woo as if she was sick and tired. “How can you eat kimchi stew for our last meal?”

“What’s wrong with kimchi stew? It’s delicious.”

“You should seriously moderate that obsession of yours.”

Yeon-Joo grabbed her forehead as if she were having a headache.

Kang-Woo smiled and remarked, “The braised spicy chicken you made me was delicious too.”

“Wh-What?! I-I wasn’t the one who made that!! I-I just helped Seol-Ah make it because it would be hard for her to do everything by herself!!”

“Mm. Your consistent reactions... Teasing you has become one of my purposes in life at this point.”

Kang-Woo nodded in satisfaction. Whenever he thought he was getting tired of it, Yeon-Joo’s tsundere reactions brought the fun right back.

‘Every single moment of it is fun. It feels fresh every single time.’

Kang-Woo smiled widely.

“Y-You son of a bitch...”

Yeon-Joo shook in rage with her face reddened. Layla, who was watching from the sidelines, took a bite of a fruit slice and giggled.

She remarked, “Hohoho. It seems you’re an S in front of Yeon-Joo, Kang-Woo.”

“Pardon?”

‘What S?’

“You’re more of an M when you’re with Seol-Ah and Lilith.”

“...” CHeCk for new stories on no/v/el/bin(.)c0m

“Are you perhaps interested in chains or whips?”

‘The fuck is this woman talking about?’

“He is! He said he was interested a while ago!” Seol-Ah shouted.

‘I’m not.’

“My, I knew it...! It seems I wasn’t seeing wrong, Seol-Ah!”

‘I said I’m not.’

“In that case, let me introduce to you this website, Seol-Ah. If you take a look at this bondage package...”

“Gasp. How indecent...”

‘Stop it right now, you crazy woman.’

“...” Kang-Woo pulled on his hair as he twisted around. “I don’t have an interest in those things. I am an advocate for normal and wholesome—”

“Hm? You weren’t interested in that kind of stuff, Kang-Woo?” asked Echidna, who was munching on an apple slice on Kang-Woo’s lap, as she tilted her head.

“What are you talking about?”

‘Why does everyone keep perverting my tastes?’

“Well, there were tons of stuff like that on your external hard drive...”

“...!!” Kang-Woo’s eyes widened. He asked with a trembling tone, “W-Wait, Echidna. You couldn’t have...”

‘Did you open it? The treasury containing the knowledge of the mysteries of life? The Ark that would save the world from its end?’

“Hm! It looked like you kept it hidden well, but you can’t hide anything from me.”

“B-But I’d set up a password...”

“Kang-Woo, you need to think of a better password than 1q2w3e4r.”

“I-I heard this code is commonly used to protect classified military secrets!”[1]

‘It’s uncrackable!’

“...”

A heavy silence fell.

“Echidna.” Seol-Ah pulled Echidna by the arm with a smile.

“H-Huh? Wh-What’s wrong, Seol-Ah?”

“I’m also very curious about this external hard drive... Could you show it to me later?”

It felt as if freezing air was coming out of her mouth.

“H-Hm! K-Kang-Woo! I’m scared!”

“Me too,” Kang-Woo responded.

‘Geeeeeeehhh!’

“Let’s... have a long talk about this once everything is over, Kang-Woo,” said Seol-Ah, her eyes as cold as ice.

“... Yes, ma’am.”

Kang-Woo lowered his head to avert his gaze from hers, and everyone laughed.

“Man, is this what karma looks like?” Yeon-Joo smiled as if she had been redeemed and pounded on her stomach.

“That aside...” mentioned Kim Si-Hun as the laughter died down. “It’s... tomorrow.”

“...”

“...”

The air around the house froze from that one sentence. They had burst into laughter to force themselves to forget, but there was no way they could forget that this peace would come to an end tomorrow.

“Sheesh, Si-Hun. Stop being such a buzzkill,” Kang-Woo expressed.

“For the birth of the new king of demons!!”

The demons standing at the foot of the hill roared in unison. They celebrated the birth of the new Demon King.

“Today, the Triad will be destroyed and born anew in the name of Lord Bael!”

Sparks ran through Amon’s entire body. He had dreamed of one day seeing enough demons to fill the entirety of the Ninth Hell, standing together.

‘And...’

Amon slowly turned his head. Demons were not the only ones gathered here.

[How boring.]

[When will the battle begin?]

They were beings of worlds outside of the Triad, who had submitted to Bael and decided to follow him.

‘I’ll have to deal with them one day.’

They would be of use in Bael’s army at the moment, but they couldn’t be trusted in the long run.

‘Even Eilles cut all ties with us and ran away.’

Amon had granted Eilles the position of one of the Four Heavenly Kings due to his unyielding loyalty to Bael, but Eilles vanished after leaving a message that he would stop serving Bael about a month ago. For Amon, who was managing the army in Bael’s place, it was as if a sledgehammer had smashed the back of his head. The incident had crushed his trust in otherworldly beings.

‘Well, it matters not.’

Amon’s eyes glinted sharply. It would be a piece of cake to replenish their lacking forces once they won the war and turned the Triad into the territory of the Nine Hells.

‘And Lord Bael will be the one to win.’

Amon cackled as his shoulders moved up and down. As long as the Demon King possessed Ingrium, a branch of the corrupted World Tree, Bael’s victory was guaranteed.

‘Lord Bael will get his hands on the Demonic Sea. Once that happens...’

“... Titan,” Amon whispered.

He thought about the Titans who created and ruled over countless worlds beyond the Triad.

‘As long as those detestable beings disappear, I’ll be able to get my hands on the Primordial Knowledge.’

The Primordial Knowledge was what Hecate, the Titan who created magic, tried to acquire. Amon was getting heated just thinking about getting his hands on that knowledge.

“Demons of the Ninth Hell.”

Amon raised his staff high again.

Whoooom!

The black magic circle drawn on the entire red hill shone.

Split!

The air cracked and created a giant red Rift.

“Advance.”

“Raaaaaaaaaahhh!!”

Boom! Boom!

The demons of the Ninth Hell charged into the Rift as per Amon’s command.

‘Finally...!’

Amon’s eyes shone. He had been waiting for this day for so long.

“Slaughter to your heart’s content!!” shouted Amon with his arms spread out.

He passed through the red Rift to the concrete city.

“H-Huh?”

“Wh-What the hell?!”

The people on the streets expressed shock as they stared at the giant Rift that appeared in the middle of Seoul.

Amon cackled unpleasantly. “The pathetic screams of the humans mark the beginning of the Apocalypse!!”

Amon let the thrill take over his body and swung his staff. He created spears of demonic energy and fired them at the humans standing blankly. However...

Wriggle.

“Hm?”

The humans pierced by the spears turned into black mucus and splashed on the ground.

“... What?”

Only then did Amon realize that the humans filling the streets were not humans but dolls in the form of humans.

“What in the world is—”

“All forces.”

The Demon King enveloped in radiant splendor, floating in the air, raised his hand before Amon could comprehend what was going on.

“Fire!”

Rumble—!!!

A thunderous sound that signaled the beginning of the Apocalypse shook the entirety of Seoul.

“Shieeet, this is it! What a fantastic sound!”

The Demon King cackled as he looked down at the horde of demons getting engulfed by the explosions.

“Art!” He spread his arms out and shouted ecstatically, “Is an explosiooooooooon!!!”

SHIEEEEEEEEEEET!

1. This password was so commonly used in army bases and government offices in Korea that it has become a meme that you would be punished for leaking government secrets if you leaked this password. ☜
