The Star of Guide?

That wasn’t someone else’s star .

It was a star bound to Muyoung . After seeing the blue star, Muyoung could instinctively feel it .

As if they were yin and yang, the red and blue, balanced each other and illuminate the sky .

And a thousand stars gathered around it .

Muyoung’s title also changed .

The first guide?

In front of him, there was a book with nothing written in it .

Just a white book .

There was no title or author .

Soon after, Muyoung’s watch turned . Vibrating like crazy, soon a number of letters popped out of it .

The letters soon began to be written in the book .

Not just that .

The hand of the watch of all the ‘owners of stars’ started to turn . The letters popped up . Letters were written in books .

Muyoung opened his first chapter .

The following was written in the book .

― Muyoung calendar year 0, lead the stars .

― Muyoung calendar year 0, the stars sing .

The record continued to be added .

And Muyoung realized…

This little book was called Muyoung’s own ‘world . ’

It wasn’t written in detail but it would be a world that would be written more specifically .

There was a small thrill .

‘Questions about the star . ’

He had never thought about it . Why do stars exist and how they choose their owners?

Why is the number not one but many?

The demons were not chosen by the stars . Only those who weren’t demons were chosen by the stars .

They were all-powerful and had the characteristics of a leader .

And Muyoung became the leader of those stars . Something should be in common .

‘If so, what is the Sky Lords?’

Muyoung thought about it .

Sky Lord eats the stars .

Perhaps Sky Lord wasn’t simply a “shield of Diablo . ”

This was something Muyoung found out through simple reasoning, which Dantalian didn’t know of . But it was a question that brought to his attention when he thought and felt about the stars .

Maybe somebody was afraid that the stars would gather and made up a story .

The reason why they didn’t exist in the past but existed in the present…

In the past, they did not gather on a large scale .

It was because they acted differently as a different race, different group, and different goal .

But Muyoung managed them altogether .

Perhaps… Sky Lord was created because Muyoung was destined to become the guide of the stars . Or, was it because another third party might have gathered the owners of the star?

Outwardly, it was a shield of Diablo, but Diablo has already entered the Demon God’s Territory .

‘Demon God Haures was killed by Diablo . ’

In the Demon God’s Territory .

It meant that Sky Lord didn’t do much to stop him .

In the end, trying to stop Diablo was just an excuse, and it was reasonable to see that there was something else they were after .

‘Stars gather to make a universe . Does it mean a new creation?’

Muyoung rubbed his chin .

Perhaps it was the path that Muyoung had to walk after eliminating all the demon gods .

It was when he was spending time to organize his thoughts .

Muyoung had many ways to strengthen himself . He prepared the most efficient deployment to catch up with his enemy .

There was a need for many ways to be strong, just running and keeping up with them wasn’t enough . And, Gabriel’s power helped him a lot .

‘All that’s left is Sky Lord . ’

The stats could be increased later but now was the time to find out about Sky Lord .

As Muyoung predicted, if there was something about Sky Lord, it would be revealed at this opportunity .

Muyoung wasn’t able to stand long .

“Soara . ”

“…Yes . ”

Soara, who was shivering, responded to Muyoung’s words .

Soon after, Soara knelt down .

Perfect obedience .

The power of darkness due to the art of death devoured Soara .

“How much do you know about Sky Lord?”

Sora’s eyes turned to Muyoung .

“Created by high-level demon gods themselves to prevent Diablo and his followers from entering the territory…”

“Stop . ”

It was a waste of time to listen more .

The conclusion was one .

She did not know .

He needed to see the real thing properly to find out about it .

The other day, he avoided it, but now it’s time to pull it towards him .

“Soara, lure the Sky Lord . ”

“Yes, sir . ”

Soara, the Demon King of Roses, who had managed the Sky Lord so far, started to act .

Although she may not know the story of the birth of Sky Lord, she was better at dealing with it than anyone gathered here .

‘What’s left is how well Tacan lures the army . ’

***

Tacan sighed .

It was not easy to fight hundreds of thousands of enemies with only 50,000 troops .

At first, Tacan was a sovereign, but he was better at being a warrior than a leader of an army .

Without Bae Sungmin, he would have lost all troops already . Sungmin was amazing at being the tactician and maneuverer .

“Yeah, we are significantly outnumbered than I thought . ”

The number of scouts continued to grow .

Tacan continued to lose by small margins and was retreating one after another .

In the process, about 200,000 enemies were destroyed, but the number of enemies had already increased to 400,000 .

By comparison, Tacan had only about 20,000 soldiers .

He had already lost 30,000 .

“This seems to be the limit . We need to join the main army . ”

Sungmin told Tacan .

It was a lot to even endure it until now . Tacan had already reached the limit of his army .

This was possible because of cavalries and Sungmin used his magic to open a path for them to reach .

But Tacan spoke as if he did not like it .

“Do we really have to turn our back like this? I can still fight . ”

“You don’t go to war alone . If you wipe out like this, you will break your master’s expectations . Why do you think our master sent me?”

This was the argument .

Tacan scratched his head .

Muyoung might have sent Sungmin because he was a skilled magician and a tactician, but perhaps it was for this type of occasion .

“If I had been alone, I would have fought to the end . ”

“Our military situation is not great . Even losing 30,000 soldiers is painful . Of course, defeating nearly 200,000 enemies with 30,000 is more than enough for merit, but it would not be easy to get rid of the enemies with only 20,000 soldiers . ”

There were many enemies .

30,000 troops were worthless in front of the size of their enemy .

It meant that they needed to save as much as they could .

Tacan nodded .

“I know . But I can’t just back away . ”

Tacan looked back and looked towards a devil flying with his wings spread wide .

“He is the leader . He seems to be a demon king and all the troops seemed to be acting under his command . ”

Tacan didn’t just play along .

If they moved like one body, there will be someone who told them to act this way .

The chain of command would have been minimized .

And that flying guy was their leader .

“If you remove him, it’ll be a little easier . ”

“I’ll buy you some time . ”

Sungmin agreed .

The leader needed to be killed before they moved on to the next step .

The problem was that they needed to stop countless demons and kill a demon king .

“Hydra, Amadeus, and Doom Knight . ”

Sungmin called out his strongest summoners .

After using Hydra and Hydra’s heads as sacrifice, Witch Beatrice and Doom Knight was summoned!

He also poured out his remaining magic to make a barrier .

“It’s at most 10 minutes long . If you don’t kill him by then, we will retreat right away . ”

“10 minutes . It isn’t impossible with that duration . ”

Tacan pulled his sword .

Strangely, after receiving one of Muyoung’s ribs, he felt lighter .

If he was to exert all his powers at once, he felt like he could kill a demon king .

*

Sky Lord smelt the stars .

Its size was so big that it could exceed the size of an island .

The Sky Lord approached at a tremendous speed .

However, the real star that Sky Lord was aiming for was Muyoung’s .

Star Guide, the one who had the brightest two stars . He also possessed a body that he wanted .

“Sky Lord thoroughly disassembles everything it swallows . Thus, it is makes everything into nothing . But when it disassembles things, it’s movement slows down a lot . ”

Demon King Soara explained .

Muyoung nodded . It didn’t seem like his stomach could digest infinitely at once .

The demons that existed on Sky Lord’s path towards Muyoung . They were eaten up and he charged like a hog towards him .

If he stayed still like this, all the Muyoung’s troops at this place would be eaten up by the Sky Lord .

Its speed was quite dangerous . He needed to make it decently full in order to slow it down .

“Scatter . I will lure him . ”

Swoosh!

Muyoung spread his Gabriel’s wings .

And began to fly faster than anyone .

***

Tacan ran as fast as he could . The 20,000 ghost cavalries also ran .

400,000 demons were behind them .

“Damn it, I passed the 10-minute mark!”

“Because of it, it became much harder to get rid of them . ”

Sungmin was currently out of magical powers . He couldn’t separate a large number of demons in this state .

In the end, it seemed that the only way to join the main army was to engage in an all-out war .

“They’re annoyed . They seem like they will follow us until they kill us all . ”

It took not 10 minutes but twice as much to kill a demon king . Sungmin couldn’t retreat as promised, but could only hold up as much as possible .

As a result, the demons began to flock like crazy when their leader died .

Sungmin acknowledged Tacan’s remark .

“You should consider getting rid of the soldiers before joining the main army . Didn’t you say it was possible in 10 minutes? Why did it take twice as long?”

“He was stronger than I thought . But I won!”

Tacan admitted lightly .

The demon king was strong .

He almost lost, thinking that the demon king was like the other demon kings he had fought .

Tacan shouldn’t have overlooked the demon kings that were under the command of Lerajie, the Demon God of War .

Anyway, things happened . Tacan had to make a decision .

He needed to decide if they would just join with the main army and inflict more damage or be caught up to a situation where they couldn’t do anything .

“Sungmin, maybe we should kill them all…”

The best choice was to give up his 20,000 troops, but Tacan was a warrior . He also had the temperament of a sovereign . Choosing such an option was not easy .

Vigor!

What he needed now was vigor!

Tacan thought so .

“Wait . ”

That moment, Sungmin stopped moving . As if he felt something, he looked afar .

Soon he urgently spoke .

“We must be scattered . ”

“What?”

“If you don’t want to get eaten, now!”

Sungmin squeezed up his last remaining magical powers to use Blink .

Short-range magic that allowed him to move to an area visible .

Tacan tilted his head for a moment then he soon realized why .

“…fuck! Scatter!”

From afar away, a huge black creature that covered the sky was running towards them with his mouth open .

Tacan ran with all his strength .

Hard enough that his bones made weird noises .

The vigor he had was nowhere to be found .
