Never Die Extra

Chapter 476

The Great Ancient Wizard, the Decisive Battle (1)

There were images of the gods. As Evan’s unique armor ate up all the energy at the site of their descent and managed to add to Aria’s ability, there weren’t many gods, and there wasn’t enough energy. But a god was still a god. They were so radiant that no one could accurately identify them, and they were imbued with holy energy that was different from Dark magic.

[Not only that, but I can feel the spirit of the Devil.]

[Did he show himself to eat up the Spirit Realm? But…hmph]

[First of all, you have to clean up the trash that is spraying out dirty energy. The rest of the story is next!]

[If the people of this land have the following!]

However, they gritted their teeth in dismay as they sprinkled their sacred force to push away the wildlings filling the plains. That wasn’t what they dreamed. Finding middle-class humans and subspecies to serve them, sell them medicine…so, by explaining the dangers of the Demon Tribe and the Devil, they gained the trust and increased their power by increasing the number of believers…

They were supposed to secure their power in Middle Earth and then make the finale by driving out the Devil!

[This is why we’re wasting our power!]

[But you can’t pull yourself out of here. Look at all those wannabes. If we don’t stop them, not only Middle Earth but the Divine Realm will be in danger!]

[If I had known this before I came down, I would have been more thoroughly defending myself…hmph!]

However, they couldn’t rebuke Fayna or Aria, the people who brought them down. What the gods held in their black minds was a matter to be kept secret. Fayna merely brought the gods down as quickly as possible, and Aria moved them to the most dangerous battlefield to protect Middle Earth. If they argued it out here, then the mask of hypocrisy worn by the gods would be removed. Not only did it expose the inner side of divinity in the presence of many beings, but it was also possible that it would become a problem.

[There’s a lot of people here. I see a forest fairy and a land fairy.]

[If we reveal our imperfections in front of them…then it’s over.]

[Perfect performance. If anyone intended to put us in this situation, they must be more dangerous than the Devil…!]

This was also why Evan was confident that he could move the gods his way.

[We have no choice but to stop them here!]

After all, there was only one conclusion that the gods could make. This was where you defeat the Demons. The Devil hadn’t descended entirely yet. If so, they would take over Middle Earth after driving out the Demons, stopping the Devil, and closing the door to the Demon Realm.

[It’s better. The members of Middle Earth here are probably the strongest in this world. Show our ability in front of them, and they will also have faith.]

[All right, look out, humans. This is the power of the Thunder God!]

Darker clouds formed in the blackened sky due to the Dark Magic pillar that occurred in the north. Shortly after, lightning with sacred power fell and wiped them out the demons gathered in large numbers. It was truly spectacular that the army of Demons disappeared instantly.

[Aaaaaaaaaaaah!]

[Look, you mortal! The Thunder God himself descended to save you!]

The Thundergod screamed in triumph while the other gods laughed at him inwardly.

‘You didn’t attack the Devil yourself. You worked to reduce the number of Demon Tribes.’

‘He’s about to be extradited.’

Surprisingly, the gods were still competing to this point! They would be the only ones left if the foolish ones like the Thunder god poured out their strength first to defeat the Demons and disappeared. If they could endure the defeat of the demons, they would be able to separate the remaining gods from the ones previous! Some of the gods took advantage of the more simple personalities to make them pour out their strength, all the while, keeping their own strength intact.

However, things didn’t go their way.

[The gods have appeared]

The Fourth Demon, now the leader of this army, murmured with an evil smile around his mouth.

[When I saw the death of the other ten Demons, I realized earlier that they had been intervening. Crucially, they controlled the dragons from behind, destroying the southern base…]

Of course, they were all Evan’s actions, but he didn’t know it just yet.

[If you thought that the Demon King would stay still after such bold provocation, you are fools!]

The Fourth Demon and the Demon King laughed loudly.

[All the believers will bear their deaths on their backs!]

The Demon King was originally a master of barriers and curses. The curse of putting many restrictions on Evan in modern times was also great, but the object he was most wary of ahead of the Middle Earth invasion was none other than his creed. Of course, the curse he prepared when he came to Middle Earth mainly was of his devising.

[Your holy spirit, all the power of heaven shall fall to the earth!]

[Ahhh!?]

The gods, who were attacking the demons, screamed at once. It’s because they felt the curse surrounding them.

[Ignore the Divine and curse…!?]

[How dare you say this isn’t the actual Devil himself!]

The gods weren’t brought to earth by themselves. Since only a part of their power was present, they wouldn’t die if they died here, while the divinity surrounded by their bodies was weakened. Nevertheless, the curse’s success through Divine resistance proved that the Demon King was a great mage.

[Cough…this curse strengthens ineffectiveness by killing more of our demons. You’re stupid, winged bugs.]

[You, Demon Tribe!]

[I am the Demon King, the new master of the world, who leads this corps of despair on behalf of the will of the Devil! From now on, the Devil will come to this land himself, and all who are alive, welcome him with your head on the ground!]

Sitting on a chair made of lion bones, the Demon King declared, looking down triumphantly at the battlefield. At that time, one of the ten Demons, the Fifth Demon Ruigana, who came from the Demon Realm together with him, rushed to him with a shout.

[The First Demon died without securing a vessel to hold His Majesty!]

[What!? He lost the Tenth Demon and the little bitch! …No, the First Demon is dead?]

The best demon in the Demon Realm in regards to strength, the First Demon. Even the Second Demon, Imma Beato, the master of contract magic beyond himself, and the Third Demon, Samma Dagero, who uses bones as a medium to gain an absolute advantage over the majority of living things, had died…?

[Then should we just bring His Majesty down on the body of a monster in the world of chaos…?]

From the moment the Devil missed the Tenth Demon, Cattleya, he planned to use the strongest players in the mixed world to make his way into Middle Earth. However, the vessel of the Spirit Realm without magic would be very unstable to capture the spirit, so the plan was to use the Queen of the Mahwa Tribe to control the vessel of the Spirit Realm and bring the spirit down to the vessel with magic.

Due to the importance of the task, the First Demon moved, but he failed to secure the Queen of the Mahwa Tribe and died!

[Fourth Demon! His Majesty has been disrupted!]

[What’s going on again, Sixth Demon!]

The eyes of the Demon King, who looked at the place where the ritual of the river was underway, became a momentary dot. This was because a massive amount of pressure, which wasn’t comparable to the power of other gods, was being poured on the altar prepared to summon the Devil.

[I felt like this was going to happen, but you didn’t listen to me! I was against it!]

[Well, that’s…what the hell is that power? Hey, look straight! Who’s up against you now?]

[The altar will be destroyed! Oh, my! We’re all dead now! No, no, no! Get away from me! Go away, go away! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!]

It was an incredible and unbelievable sight to be seen in the eyes of the Demon King, along with the desperate groans from the demons. The summoning altar of the Devil, which was completed by adding jewels brought by monsters from the Spirit Realm, was being crushed to pieces by a terrible pressure. The pillar of the Dark Magic, which started at the altar and soared to penetrate the sky, shook.

Shortly after that, it was mixed with a lot of miscellaneous energy and began to flood!

[No…!]

The Demon King groaned at sight. No one knew who the hell could do such nonsense, but that was the worst choice to screw up today!

[Sixth Demon! Can you hear me? Stop the summoning right now!]

[Gasp…you’re giving up the ritual?]

Luckily, the Devil didn’t seem to be dead yet. The Demon King looked up at the pillar of runaway energy and shouted at him.

[With this way it will be impossible to bring the Devil’s ritual to life!]

[Well, then we’ll stop the summoning…oh, it’s not working. I can’t stop the ritual. Oh, no!]

Boom.

Shortly after the eerie sound rang out as with the sensation of breaking the eardrums of the Demon King, the telepathy with the Sixth Demon was cut off.

[There’s a lot of mixed energy! Explode… it’s going to explode without the ritual!]

The Fifth Demon, who was watching the scene with the Demon King, cried out in dismay.

[The gods were just traps for our attention? What.. who the hell could deceive us by using the gods…?!]

[If the fool had obeyed the Devil, he could have survived by His grace. Everyone chose the path to death!]

[Demon King, what should I do?]

At the Fifth Demons words, the Demon King gave his best thought before answering.

[We can’t help it, Ruigana. Let’s move on to the ritual. Fortunately, there is something that can be pointed out as a means of calming the Devil.]

[What is it?]

[We can’t reveal our secret means already. In this situation, the weeds will give up and focus only on keeping the Devil safe. Let’s go.]

When asked by the Fifth Demon, Ruigana, the Demon King looked at her and replied. She was a woman who felt insecure in his eyes, but now she had no choice but to believe in the Demon King.

[Okay, let’s go.]

[To establish the order of the Devil on this earth…!]

The ritual was rife, but the enemy seemed to have thought it was enough. That laxity would eventually lead to defeat. The Demon Tribe would win this war.

No, it was him.

Looking up at the pillar of dark red energy that began underground and continued to the end of the sky, something terrible could be seen within, slowly trying to open its eyes.
