“Just what…”

Bae Sungmin got serious .

A daughter?

He was a lich . An elder lich . The king of all liches . All the memories before that were vague .

He couldn’t think that he would have any ties with living beings excluding Muyoung .

But it wasn’t just a tie but it was his daughter?

“I can’t make a long explanation but Bae Suzy is indeed your daughter . ”

Muyoung looked up the ‘castle’ .

The castle that got out of the effect of the gravity field was floating up once again .

In addition, even more devils had appeared and their escape routh was being blocked .

Bae Sungmin flinched .

Mu young had no reason to lie . He always spoke the truth or at least he never lied to Bae Sungmin .

If Muyoung’s words were true .

It felt like the sky was falling down the moment he thought like that .

“So… the thing I have to find is . ”

Bae Sungmin had always anguished .

He felt like he had lost something really important .

He always had the pressure that he had to find something .

But he had never imagined that that something was his daughter .

“I didn’t want to bring you confusion . No, actually I couldn’t make a judgement . You are someone that stands on death and Bae Suzy grieves for life . ”

That’s right . Muyoung couldn’t make a judgement regarding this matter .

That was the biggest reason but it was also an excuse .

He just couldn’t judge what was right and what was wrong .

Bae Sungmin had died . Died and became a lich and also lost most of his memories of the past .

Muyoung couldn’t know how knowing that he had a child would affect him in that unstable state .

That’s why he kept reserving it for later…but he thought that he should tell him the truth when the two involved parties have met .

It wasn’t that he could evade it forever .

“Bae Suzy . Is that kid really my daughter…?”

“I will respect your choice . ”

He left saving and not saving Bae Suzy to Bae Sungmin .

Bae Sungmin had become a completely new existence after he died . It meant that he didn’t have to rely on memories from when he was alive .

But Muyoung was going to respect his decision if he chose to grab onto his past .

Bae Sungmin was disoriented right now .

He was the one that drove Bae Suzy to the jaws of death even though she had requested it .

He didn’t feel a bit of guilt at that decision .

But would he have done the same if he knew that she was his daughter?

Most of Bae Sungmin’s emotions were dulled . A lich was originally a dry existence . It wasn’t probable that denial existed in him .

‘Why can’t I remember anything, why!’

But the current Bae Sungmin was experiencing extreme instability in his emotions .

He couldn’t remember anything even though he heard the truth .

But it seemed like a milder scene was being made when he put Bae Suzy in his memories .

He wouldn’t hesitate at all if memories did pop up .

“Is that kid…alive?”

“She is, but it seems like she is not in a good state . ”

Muyoung and Bae Suzy were connected . But of course, he couldn’t know everything just because of that . However the clear thing was that she was weakening .

Bae Sungmin nodded .

“I, I will go find her . I have never seen that kid properly . ”

When Bae Sungmin first saw Bae Suzy he had compared her as a ‘rat’ .

And didn’t try to face her after that either .

Why did he do that?

It was because he got swept in unknown emotions when he saw her .

He had to face her properly at least once but he couldn’t do so .

‘I need to see her . Keep looking at her until a clear picture gets drawn in my head . ’

It wouldn’t be late even after facing her, holding a proper conversation and coming to a conclusion .

But he had to first rescue Bae Suzy if he wanted to do that .

The work of rescuing someone that crawled to death . That was something that didn’t suit a lich at all as they were ‘death’ itself .

Muyoung smiled faintly .

“I will open up a path . ”

Their escape route was blocked .

They couldn’t do anything against the tens of thousands of strengthened devils with just twenty thousand .

Flames!

The fire got wilder .

The six pairs of wings Muyoung had got swept in the fire and became so huge it could touch the sky .

And then, Muyoung closed his eyes and recited .

“That light has certainly existed . ”

Beams!

A hole pierced the sky .

And light brighter than ever covered the ground .

“Graaaaagh!”

“Sa, save me! It hurts!”

“Please! Argh!”

The devils that touched the light struggled in pain .

The divinity Muyoung possessed got strengthened with a chant of Als Nova .

Als Nova was a gathering of short prayers .

If you possessed a divinity, you were able to show this much strength just by reciting a chant .

But not even Muyoung knew all of the prayers . He was able to memorize some strong chants when he first saw Als Nova .

“Burn like fire and roar like the sea . ”

Swoooosh!

Muyoung’s wings got instantly bigger and then devoured all of the devils at its range .

More than a hundred thousand devils perished with just two attacks .

But there were still lots of devils left but they couldn’t help but get shocked at what happened in an instant .

Totter!

Muyoung tottered .

‘The chants of Als Nova consume a lot of strength . ’

At most three times . That was the number of chants Muyoung could recite . He felt like his magic power and divinity wouldn’t be able to endure more than that .

Shiing!

Muyoung pulled out Anguish .

He had succeeded in bringing chaos to the enemy and also opened up a path . He couldn’t miss this opportunity .

“You won’t be late if you go now . ”

Followed by that Muyoung raised Anguish high .

All the spirits, undead, Ogar and Tacan looked at Muyoung .

“Follow me . It’s time to annihilate the enemy . ”

* * *

“Who are you?”

Bang!

Enroth slammed down his staff .

At the same time, black tentacles surged up and covered the body of the infiltrator .

He couldn’t think that someone could pass through countless devils and reach the center of the castle .

Anyone besides Enroth would have been killed .

But it was precisely because it was Enroth that he didn’t get killed .

The infiltrator shut her mouth shut . Blood was flowing from her body but didn’t die yet . But the clear thing was that she would fall to a dangerous state soon .

Enroth shook his head while looking at the infiltrator .

“I made the wrong question . Let me state it again . Who is ‘he’?”

Enroth was looking at Bae Suzy but he was feeling that ‘someone’ that was beyond Bae Suzy .

He didn’t kill Bae Suzy right away because of that strong presence .

The one pulling the strings all of that happened . Perhaps, the real one that killed Shar-Shazar .

He was careless towards Bae Suzy or the lich but the real deal was the ‘someone’ that was beyond .

“Is he a demon god? Someone that was born in another world like Diablo?”

Bae Suzy was connected with that ‘someone’ .

But he felt a gap that he didn’t know . A gap this big…There were none at least between demon kings . It was a gap he could only see in transcendent beings or demon gods .

But it was also new . He had never felt a gap of this kind .

Bae Suzy showed a small smile .

It was enough with that .

“In other words you are the kind that doesn’t understand with good words . ”

Enroth was curious . He felt like dying because of that curiosity . That’s why he tried to take control of Bae Suzy’s mind .

Moving consciousness was Enroth’ specialty . Playing with the consciousness of a completely suppressed opponent was like child’s play to him .

He extended his hand and grabbed Bae Suzy’s hair . Then wrote some runes with his staff .

“I will ask you again . Who is ‘he’? Tell me what the existence that is inside you . ”

It didn’t take long .

But Bae Suzy wasn’t answering .

She was just letting out a strange laugh .

She had fainted .

It didn’t matter if she fainted or not if the mind control worked properly .

Originally Bae Suzy should have answered Enroth’ question .

But there was only one case if she didn’t answer .

‘My mind control doesn’t work?’

He couldn’t believe it . His power to dominate wasn’t working!

The Demon King of Iron Enroth . The real power he had was to control and dominate .

That was also the reason he could strengthen hundreds of thousands of devils at the same time .

But it was obvious for Enroth’ strength to not work .

When Muyoung got out of the Blue Temple he planted a ‘self defense mechanism’ on Bae Suzy .

It was a measure to not let know of others the existence of Muyoung but the mechanism also had a strong ‘mental defense’ .

‘Wung Chunglin’s’ brainwash was top class . It was also better than Enroth’ at some detailed parts .

Compared to Enroth that simply pushed with magic power and magic, Wung Chunglin had organized the mind in a really systematic way .

Muyoung had prepared for Wung Chunlin so there was no way it would get pierced that easily .

Only then did Enroth’ expression change .

“So I was the one that got baited…!”

Flames!

At that moment, a huge pillar of light shone on the castle and the exploding fire engulfed the castle once again . The barrier protecting the castle melted down just like that .

A defenseless state . The castle started to fall down thanks to the exchange of magic power that occurred in an instant .

It was a dreadful power . Not even Enroth would be able to imitate it .

This power, he was sure of it .

That ‘he’ had appeared .

Ha!

Enroth let out a roar .

It was really coincidental .

He was trampling down on the devils and himself after appearing like he was waiting for this moment .

Perhaps .

He may have been the one that got baited ever since the death of Shar-Shazar .

He had come to hunt but he was the one being hunted .

“I am Enroth . The great Demon King of Iron! Do you think I will be defeated that easily!”

He couldn’t admit it .

He was the one that placed the traps . Hunting was also something that only he should be doing .

Enroth denied the fact that he was the one to fall in a trap .

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

But that wasn’t the end .

Something else was coming .

But this power didn’t belong to ‘him’ .

Someone was piercing the castle now that it didn’t have the barrier protecting it anymore .

A fearful magic power .

He was piercing a hole by amplifying his magic power .

Enroth turned around .

And at the same time said .

“Elder lich…!”

An elder lich that was holding a staff appeared exactly at the middle .

It was absurd .

‘He’ could appear at any moment but a lich also appeared?

Enroth admitted his potential and had also thought of making him his subordinate but he changed his mind . A mere lich couldn’t defeat the Demon King of Iron .

If all this was his ‘script’, Enroth decided to kill that lich and woman to destroy that script .

“Do you think that you will be able to beat me!?”

“I didn’t come to defeat you . ”

Bae Sungmin turned his head .

Bae Suzy was alive . She was in a terrible state but what was important was that she was alive .

It seemed like she had lost consciousness .

Bae Sungmin shook when he saw Bae Suzy . If he had eyes, then his pupils would be shaking with no stop .

Bae Sungmin looked at Enroth once again .

And spoke with deep regret .

“I…just came so that I didn’t have any regrets . ”
