Chapter 229
The Game Difficulty Is Insane
“Swoooooosh—!”
Seeing tentacles rushing toward him from every direction, Rupellos clicked his tongue.
“Slash! Slash!”
“Kieeeeeeeeeek!”
Dozens of tentacles were torn to pieces by the sharp blade and scattered in every direction.
At the center of it all, Demon King Rupellos looked deeply displeased.
“Ah… this is pissing me off……?”
A cold chill settled in his golden eyes.
He was not simply irritated because the hideous plant had attacked him.
The anger filling his mind had actually begun much earlier.
If I get the chance, let's meet again.
I've been doing this for decades, but you're the first piece of trash I've ever seen who would sell his family's lives just to save his own.
The Undertaker.
A being Rupellos wanted to erase from his past.
A trauma he wished he could forget.
For more than a decade, Rupellos had searched for him without finding even a trace.
But recently, information about the Undertaker had begun appearing more frequently.
Rupellos had hurried to meet his hated enemy again.
Yet in the end, he had gained nothing.
If I leave you alive, I feel like I'll get to see something amusing again someday.
Heh heh heh.
Every time it happened, it felt as though the Undertaker was mocking his movements from somewhere he could not see.
Grind.
Just thinking about it made Rupellos grit his teeth and feel tension building in the back of his head.
As always, he could not simply laugh it off with a mocking sigh.
His patience had finally reached its limit.
Rupellos decided that he would use any means necessary to get his revenge.
As someone who has become the Demon King's subordinate, wouldn't you gladly lend me your strength?
Kacerto Lienz, the Second Legion Commander.
The man who had greatly helped Rupellos when he took the position of Demon King.
If it was Kacerto, he would surely find the Undertaker, even if he had to use brutal methods.
Rupellos did not want to rely on someone else's hand to settle a personal grudge.
He was a demon with more pride than anyone.
He did not want anyone to know about his miserable and powerless past.
But he had made his decision.
He returned from the west and came to Angrelcher.
Move to the underground laboratory!
Hurry!
The Kacerto Lienz he had been looking for was absent.
And Angrelcher Castle had fallen into chaos because of two intruders.
Honestly, Rupellos did not care much about how the war with the humans was going.
But he disliked seeing humans cause trouble in the middle of the Land of Demons.
So Rupellos descended underground.
And there, he found a pair of human men and women.
A white-haired woman who was launching threatening attacks and holding the security forces at bay.
A useless security force that could do nothing because of her.
A gigantic plant sprawled across the floor.
Several young children huddled together and trembling near it.
And finally, a gray-haired man standing in front of those children.
Among them, the man was the one who caught Rupellos's attention.
Countless flashes of light were raining down around them, and no one knew when they would stop.
Yet the man calmly approached the children and gently stroked their heads.
Then he picked up a sword radiating an extraordinary aura and turned toward the magic stones.
Honestly, Rupellos did not care what the man was trying to do.
He had simply become curious about the unusual human standing in the distance.
“Bang!”
Rupellos planted his foot firmly and approached the man.
Then, when he blocked the man's sword and their faces met, Rupellos was overcome by an inexplicable sense of discomfort.
The human man was looking at him with surprised eyes.
But it was not simply the shock of having his sword blocked.
The man's expression showed genuine bewilderment at Rupellos's very existence.
At first, Rupellos thought it was because he was the Demon King.
His face was not widely known among humans.
But anyone who had infiltrated all the way into Angrelcher would surely know about the upper ranks of the Demon King's Army.
However, after exchanging several meaningless words with the man, Rupellos began to feel an inexplicable irritation.
He could not explain why.
But looking at that arrogant face somehow reminded him of the days he had spent endlessly searching for his enemy.
And that made his anger rise.
Why that particular face reminded him of those days, Rupellos had no idea.
But Rupellos was not the calm type who would carefully analyze the reason behind every little irritation.
He could deal with the man after tearing off his arms and legs.
But then that hideous giant plant that had been lying on the ground suddenly interfered.
The anger he had been suppressing finally reached its peak.
“……”
It felt as though something inside him had snapped.
At the same time, the heat in his head suddenly vanished, leaving his mind completely clear.
The black demonic power surrounding Rupellos began to whirl violently.
“Kuwaaaaaang!”
The sound of enormous demonic power exploding shook the laboratory.
“Kieeeeeeeeeek!”
The otherworldly plant that had swallowed a god screamed.
The cold silence disappeared.
A raging storm immediately turned everything around it into chaos.
“Sounds good.”
Naturally, this chaos was extremely welcome to Glen.
If he had to play chess against an overwhelmingly powerful opponent while his own strength was nearly exhausted, having the entire chessboard overturned was much more advantageous.
Who could have expected the Experimental Specimen Daddy, which everyone thought had completely stopped, to suddenly awaken and attack the Demon King?
I got lucky.
Maybe the otherworldly plant had lost its host and wanted to find a new powerful host.
Or perhaps it had miraculously risen because it considered the Demon King a threat to the children it had protected.
Glen did not know what had caused it to move.
But one thing was important.
The Demon King's feet had been tied down.
And thanks to that, Glen could finish what he had been unable to do while Daddy fought Rupellos.
“Bang!”
Einheria came down diagonally and split the black magic stone in front of Glen in two.
Thick demonic energy began leaking through the crack in the magic stone.
The moment Glen moved away—
“Kwaaaaaang!”
“Kwagagagagang!”
The magic stone exploded.
Once the first magic stone exploded, everything was set.
The magic stones extending along the wall began exploding one after another.
The farther the explosions spread, the more demonic energy was released.
The amount of demonic power exploding together became uncontrollable.
Once that demonic power filled the entire space, an explosion powerful enough to swallow the entire underground laboratory would occur.
There's no time.
Glen used every remaining bit of Holy-Demonic Power to strengthen his body after cutting the magic stone.
Then he kicked off the floor.
“Kieeeeeee!”
“Gooooo—Kwaaaang!”
