Chapter 153: Chira’s Release
“As Demon King, I command you! Chira, cease your endless rest and show yourself before !”
“……”
“Demonstrate your strength! Show your existence, the very sa existence that strikes fear into all of the demonic realm! I command you in the na of the Demon King!”
“Answer the Demon King’s call! Chira!”
The Demon King’s roar rang through the skies and earth.
After his summons, the landscape of the demonic realm completely changed in an instant.
The demonic realm was bathed in purple light before, but now, as if soone had taken away the light itself, it beca dark.
It seed as though a night without a speck of moonlight had fallen over the demonic realm.
The Fear roars of monsters throughout the demonic realm rang throughout following that.
Was it because a darkness so pitch black that you could not see in front of you had co over them?
That could be part of the reason.
However, the Fear roars they let out all carried a hint of terror and fear.
They must instinctively sense with their bodies of the great calamity that was about to arrive.
The pitch dark blackness didn’t last long.
The dark skies of the demonic realm beca sared with red.
It was almost as the skies were painted with the blood of humans.
Five dark red spheres floated in the sky.
The spheres looked similar to how the sun appeared from Earth.
Including the Demon King and Ladin, not many would know what those red spheres ant.
The weaker monsters were busy trying to hide themselves, and there were many amongst them that went weak at the legs and collapsed on the spot.
The Demon King had undone the seal on the Chira. The dark red suns floated above the castle where the Demon King was.
In the middle of the 5 suns, the Chira showed its form.
Many heads clung to its body as if they were parasitic, its body twitching along in a disgusting fashion.
The Chira had the head of a lion, the body of a goat, the tail of a serpent, and the wings of a bat.
Its appearance seed similar to the Chira back on Earth, but the size of its body was enough to cover the skies of the demonic realm.
Not only that, but it was so strong that it could not be even compared to the Kelvecore.
“Kuhhhhuhg!”
The Chira flapped its huge wings and landed in front of the Demon King’s castle.
With just its appearance, the monsters on the field perished without even being able to scream.
With just the flap of its wings and a single howl, the monsters were turned to dust.
Jamon stood up and walked outside of his castle.
It was to face the Chira.
Even Ladin, who was shaking with fear, followed the Demon King outside.
The whole area was tense.
The castle door opened, and Jamon t with the Chira that was guarding the entrance.
Due to the sheer amount of fear, Ladin could only stare down at the ground.
He could not even bring himself to look at the Chira.
After all, he knew best what unsealing the Chira would bring forth than anyone else, since he had witnessed the chaos firsthand before.
Chira’s breath from its nostril were kicking up thick dust.
After a short mont, Chira’s eyes t with the Demon King Jamon and gave off a mysterious smile.
Chira then lowered its head and laid down on the ground.
Even while showing respect towards the Demon King, it did not stop staring at his eyes.
Stepping on the frozen ground that froze over from the cold air coming off of the Chira, the Demon King ca closer.
Standing right before the Chira, the Demon King spoke.
“I am the Demon King Jamon. The one who has summoned you here is .”
“Kurururu.”
“I am aware of your strength due to hearing about it constantly. Enough strength to consu the demonic realm. I am speaking about your absolute power that no one can stop.”
“Kuru……”
“I am also very well aware of how little ti you have left. The first unsealing in hundreds of years…… You want to start running wild as soon as possible, right? You want to go through the demonic realm like a hurricane, bringing destruction in your path? I know that you want to release all of your inhibitions that you’ve been holding back.”
“Kururu…… That’s right…… However, do you have the confidence to not regret setting free, Demon King?”
Chira asked the Demon King while letting out an intense killing intent.
The reason why the Chira lowered its head before the Demon King was simple.
Access to the Chira was one of the Authorities the Demon King had.
Only the Demon King can undo the seal and summon the Chira here.
Other than that thod, there was no other way for the Chira to appear.
What was to follow after that was unfathomable, but since the Chira was summoned thanks to the Demon King, it was only natural that it show respect.
Jamon also looked into Chira’s eyes as he spoke.
“Did you ntion regret? From the way you speak, I can tell just how pathetic and weak the Demon Kings before were. However, I am different. As the Demon King king who has called you forth, I have all the qualifications needed to be your master!”
“Kururung. We’ll find out soon enough…… I hope that you aren’t wrong. I do not want to be disappointed by an easy fight……”
“You won’t be disappointed. Instead, that spot will be taken by regret and remorse.”
While the conversation between the two continued, Ladin kept on sneaking peeks at the Chira.
He kept staring back down at the ground, but during the tis that he peeked, he saw it clearly.
What he saw were things attached to the Chira, clearly greatly suffering away.
What he saw was a blast from the past, a ti when the 6 demonic tribe leaders fought for the throne of the demon king, with the demon tribe Gan winning for a brief mont and allowing one to rise to the title of Demon King, Seu Reol.
To end the war, Seu Reol had undone the seal of the Chira.
Ladin saw him and the other 5 tribe leaders letting out terrifying screams filled to the brim with pain, attached to the body of the Chira.
That’s right. Those who lost their lives to the Chira did not et their ends with death.
Even while the Chira was sealed and resting, those who lost to the Chira were to suffer eternal pain that was so intense, none could endure it without letting out horrific screams.
This punishnt was to last until the Chira, who none could dare defeat, was to be completely eliminated.
As if Ladin had seen sothing he shouldn’t have, his body trembled more intensely.
He had stood opposed until the end about releasing the Chira.
He wasn’t aware of the suffering one would endure after being defeated by the Chira, but he was aware of the catastrophe summoning the Chira would bring.
Ladin wasn’t even aware of himself shaking his head and muttering to himself.
“No…… We’ll all die…… Summoned sothing that should have not been…… We’re all going to die……… I can’t end up like them…… I can’t.”
However, his mutterings were drowned out by the sound the Chira’s breathing and did not reach the Demon King’s ears.
Even while that was happening, the conversation between the Chira and the Demon King continued.
“Chira. Shouldn’t you get going now?”
“The mont that I consu one of those orbs in the skies, I will move like a whirlwind through the demonic realm. To find a stronger magical energy essence. To find a stronger opponent…… I shall enjoy butchering, stepping down on everything, bringing destruction, and annihilate everything. Everything in the demonic realm that I have arrived in!”
“Pff. That is what I want as well. Before you beco sealed away again, it seems that this will be our first and last ti conversing. Destroy everything in this realm. I command you as your master.”
“Kururu. There won’t be a need to set targets. No matter how well you hide your magical energy, I will find you……”
“Kuhahaha! Sounds like you want to be put back to sleep before your ti is up, weakling……”
“Then…… I shall begin……… As I kill my way up from the bottom, I’m sure you’ll be sowhere at the end. It won’t take that long. A Demon King…… different from the previous Demon Kings. When the ti cos, you’ll have to prove your strength.”
“Good. Hurry now. Go and consu everything. Afterwards, find . I shall face you as much as you want!”
“Kururung……”
The mont that the Demon King finished speaking, the Chira swiftly flapped its wings and took to the skies.
The cries of all the monsters fused with the Chira that seed to tear apart the very air grew further and further away.
Seeing the Chira flying further and further away, the Demon King leisurely walked back into the castle with a slightly more relaxed expression.
The Chira only enjoyed battles and butchering.
It had held back all this ti, now recalling the taste of blood that it had never forgotten once, hunting monsters with stronger magical energy signatures after each kill.
Included in those list of targets would be the humans and Belkoseu.
Ladin and himself could also beco targets of the Chira, but the Demon King believed that this was the best solution to put the troubleso humans to rest forever.
It would be great if Belkoseu, who had the Authority that gave him immortality, also perished in the jaws of the Chira, but he didn’t expect that to be the case.
After all, Belkoseu was an existence that could not be annihilated.
Moving with complete confidence that he would not be defeated, the Demon King headed back into the castle.
Flying close to one of the dark red orbs in the sky, the Chira consud one of them with a single bite.
Its large jaws had no trouble consuming one of the orbs.
The 5 orbs signified how much ti was left.
After swallowing all five orbs, it wouldn’t be long before the Chira would be sealed away once more.
How ironic the situation was, since it had to take the very action that would seal itself.
However, until it consud the first orb, the Chira could not kill anything or anyone.
After a certain amount of ti, it would need to eat another orb to continue.
Without any other options, it had to enduring consuming the orbs.
The effect of the orbs didn’t end there.
Depending on the rank of the orb consud, it allowed a greater amount of its strength to beco unsealed.
To explain this simply, the first orb consud would be the equivalent of an Awakened learning a skill.
The second orb consud would grant strength equivalent to a an Awakened Awakening a skill after having it reach level 100.
The third orb would an strength equivalent to an Awakened reaching level 200 on a skill and Transcending it.
The five orbs split into each rank allowed the Chira to display far more powerful strength with each consud.
Having consud the first orb and releasing its first stage of power, it began to hunt for its prey with fire in its eyes.
Accurately pinpointing the location of its first prey in one attempt, it flapped its wings and flew forward with incredible speed.
“Kuruuuu! I have waited for hundreds of years. I seek ones that will give the thrill of battle…… An opponent who will leave scars that won’t heal…… If the fight is anything like the previous letdown, I shall turn the entire demonic realm into ashes!”
****
Min-Cheol had defeated Ifrit.
Karin, who had categorized the pile of loot, was whistling a tune with excitent at the thought of steak nicely sizzling away.
Everything was going so well that it was enough to make one worry.
Both Karin, who was whistling away with joy, and Belkoseu, who was looking at the scene with a treacherous expression, both twitched their bodies as if struck by lightning.
Since we were past the edge of the demonic realm, we were surrounded by pitch black darkness.
That was why Jong Ho and I had no idea that the scenery of the demonic realm had changed.
However, being the monsters that they were, Karin and Belkoseu could sense it.
At this very mont, they knew that sothing that shouldn’t exist had been summoned forth.
“KEH HEH EHHHHHHHHHH!”
“Kuhu…… What a fool. So he has actually resorted to this……”
