Chapter 199: Ambush (2)
TRA Alpha Satellite — a strategic weapon entity beyond the Gate which stole the sky from humans.
There was a gorgeous red castle five times the size of Grand Duke Kaliaf’s castle:
This was the castle of the Demon King, the head of the clan. In an annex within the castle, three figures were sitting around a round table.
These three were Dukes and had more dignity than the other demons standing around the table, who all were the Demon King’s or the associates. A map was spread open on the roundtable and red dots marked on it constantly moved.
“The battle must have become fierce.”
The red dots on the map left the middle of the yard and moved. However, it turned around at one point.
The short blue haired Duke with thin eyes, known as Duke Deruan, asked the black haired demon with one eye closed who was making a strange expression,
“Edhuy, how is the fight going?”
The black haired demon was Duke Edhuy, the demon who acted as the head and controlled the others. In contrast to the exotic appearances of the other Dukes, Duke Edhuy had a much more normal and reserved appearance..
“The atmosphere is ripe.”
“We’ll win?”
“It isn’t clear. Far from that yet.”
Duke Legion, a demon with thick lips and red hair, clicked his tongue as responding to his answer with pity..
“It would have been nice to have a pawn on their side.”
“The Grand Duke Kaliaf or one the two dukes would have noticed a pawn. This is best.”
Hearing Duke Deruan’s words, Duke Legion smiled and pointed at the board, saying,
“Now, only Bevman is left.”
“Huhuhu, you’re right.”
Surprisingly, they knew the details of the fight happening at Duke Kaliaf’s castle in real time, as if watching it unfold with their own eyes.
In the center, Duke Edhuy, their leader, sat with one of his eyes closed, looking somewhere beyond the confines of the room.
“This is shocking.”
“What’s shocking?”
“Grand Duke Kaliaf is being pushed back.”
The two dukes were shocked by those words, as Duke Kaliaf wasn’t just anyone.
Everyone had confirmed his and seen his power firsthand in the Third War.
“Huh? The Grand Duke’s being pushed back?”
“Just who is the one doing that?”
The two dukes wondered about the identity of the human who was able to push back the Grand Duke. Duke Edhuy then ordered them,
“Get ready.”
After the order was given, the faces of the two Dukes seemed thrilled and lit up.
“The battle is over?”
“Yes.”
In response, the two Dukes stood up.
“This is an opportunity of a lifetime.”
“Let’s leave!”
With their armor equipped, they looked like generals heading off to war, which was a pretty accurate description. Prepared for battle, they walked out of the annex.
When they left the annex, they saw about two thousand demons lined up outside. Judging from their weapons and attire, it was clear that they were all prepared for war.
“Hahhhhhhh!!!”
Their morale was great, fitting for the battle that would determine the future of their clan.
-Is he the one?
Duke Legion, who wanted to be certain, asked Duke Deruan who was next to him. Duke Deruan nodded.
-I think so.
The person they were looking at was Chun Yeowun. As soon as they had arrived, they sought out his location, as they considered him the strongest human.
‘Apparently, a human defeated the Grand Duke…’
The appearance of the Grand Duke without an arm was proof of the feat. They exchanged glances with each other, a pre-briefing and confirmation of Duke Edhuy’s plan.
[The current situation is that the confrontation between the Grand Duke and the man is over. Both are likely to be exhausted, so we will never get such a chance again.]
That was the gist of the situation, which the Dukes saw as a golden opportunity to not only deal with the thorns in their side but also to retrieve Arisha’s weapons.
-Shall we start?
-Of course.
Duke Deruan and Duke Legion simultaneously stretched out their hands, which was also done by the fifty or so Marquis-ranked demons in the air with them.
[When entering the sky above the castle, fire at the yard with the best long-distance skills you can muster. Aim especially for the Grand Duke and his men.]
This was Duke Edhuy’s order; it was an operation that aimed to take advantage of surprise.
Woong!
Swoosh! Wheik!
The demons began to fill the sky above the castle with various weapons and numerous spheres of energy.
Once the two Dukes and the Marquis-level demons had all awakened, the two dukes displayed their power with all their might, making the sky seem as if it was going to rain with despair.
“T-this…”
The demons under Grand Duke Kaliaf’s command couldn’t hide their shock at the countless weapons, lightning, and spheres filling the sky. It was an unexpected situation; since this attack started when their Grand Duke and Chun Yeowun were fighting, nearly half of the castle’s defense was down.
“H-How can we stop them?”
The demons didn’t know what to do.
“Everyone move away!”
“Avoid it!”
The Marquis demons shouted, realizing that the massive attacks that covered the sky couldn’t be stopped.
Running away was the only way to reduce the damage, but then:
Paah!
A strong wind pressure arose from somewhere, along with an immense energy.
Duke Bevman’s eyes widened in shock as he wondered if the incoming attack had already reached them.
‘Ah!’
A figure then stood against the attack, looking as if the darkness was burning like a flame. It was none other than Chun Yeowun, whose pressure was as strong as that of a Grand Duke-class demon.
However, would he be enough to handle the attack?
‘Is he the one?’
The Demon King’s aides in the sky all thought the same thing, refusing to take their eyes off Chun Yeowun and Grand Duke Kaliaf.
Their eyes became sharper as they observed Chun Yeowun for a long time.
“He seems quite strong. I thought it was a joke.”
“He must have lived long.”
Duke Edhuy had already informed them that Chun Yeowun could use Advance Awakening, so even if they were surprised to see it themselves, there wouldn’t be any hesitation.
“This will probably be useless.”
“It’s already too late. Attack them!”
The Marquis-class demons, who awakened simultaneously as ordered by Duke Deruan, displayed their best long-distance skills instantaneously as their skills filled the sky above the castle.
Papapak!
It was indeed a dire situation for those near the castle.
“Avoid it!”
It was at that moment that all the demons under Grand Duke Kaliaf were filled with terror and spread out in every direction. Chun yeowun, who was in his Advance Awakening state, raised his hands towards the sky.
The two Dukes saw him and laughed.
“Idiots.”
“Isn’t it too late for him to escape!?”
At that moment, a shocking change occurred in the air, which warped the attacks.
Kwak!
The normal space was distorted as a strong force twirled around like a tornado. The distortion was the size of the entire courtyard, so it looked as if a huge black hole had formed in the air.

“This isn’t just for show.”

“Right, try blocking it!”
Seeing the spatial distortion, the two Dukes raised their power even further, determined to break past it. Contrary to their will, however:
Papapak!
Their best attacks were all sucked into the tornado-like space, along with the attacks of the awakened Marquis.
‘No way!’
‘The attacks are being absorbed?!’
Despite looking at it, all of the demons in the sky found the scene hard to believe. The outcome was completely different from what they had expected: the attacks of the two awakened Dukes and the fifty awakened Marquises were all blocked by one human.
-This makes no sense.
-How?
The two Dukes were dumbfounded as the distorted space returned to its original state.
Swoosh!
Seeing this all unfold, the demons in the courtyard were also shocked by Chun Yeowun’s power.
“Holy…”
“H-he blocked it.”
“H-How, a human?”
Duke Legion couldn’t understand it.
‘He protected them?’
Duke Deruan couldn’t understand.
‘No way. They were just confronting one another in a fight, but now they are helping each other?’
Then, everyone saw Chun Yeowun slightly bend his knees and jumped up.
It was strange; although he had only slightly bent his knees before jumping, the pressure was comparable to that of a rocket launch.
Kwaang!
Chun Yeowun, who was in his True Awakened form, jumped up, and at that moment, the floor of the yard collapsed in a 100 meter range as it was shattered by the mere force.
“He's coming!”
“Everyone spread out and attack him!”
Phat!
The demons dispersed in all directions and tried to focus all their attacks on Chun Yeowun, who was ascending. However, Chun Yeowun’s appearance soared past them and faded into the sky.
Even the two Dukes, who were intensely observing him, couldn’t see where he went.
At that moment, something passed by at a tremendous speed past the demons. Although it seemed that a wave of wind had just brushed past their bodies, the Marquises were pushed over.
Papang!
“Euk!”
“Ugh!”
All of them had black smoke coming out of their mouth as if they were damaged, but some suffered worse injuries.
Shhh!
The eight Marquises who were closest to the wind and were standing in a line had scattered like ashes.
‘This?!’
Duek Deruan had tried to look at the thing that had passed by, but it was to no avail. Chun Yeowun, who had unleashed his Advance Awakening, was higher than them in the sky and was looking down with an arrogant expression as if he was God.
Duke Deruan, who had great vision, moved to catch up to Chun Yeowun
“You bastard!”
He spread his arms as his body turned into flame, which resembled lava much more.
The hottest among the demons was Duke Deruan.
I’ll turn you to ashes.
Duke Deruan, who was ascending with lava around his body, rushed to close the gap between him and Chun Yeowun. At the same time, Chun Yeowun raised his hand towards the incoming man.
Swoosh!
The moment Duke Deruan came close enough,
Paaah!
Chun Yeowun smashed Duke Deruan, who was in a lava state, with his palm.
‘I can hold on! I can endure this!’
Duke Deruan clenched his teeth. He could melt the hand that was holding him if he had enough patience.
He was confident that he wouldn’t lose, but:
Bang!
Kwak!
The moment Duke Deruan collided with Yeowun’s palm, his body was swept away by the huge force and his entire body was suddenly crushed by the resulting tremendous pressure.
Psss!
Duke Legion and the remaining Marquises were astonished.
‘Deruan, after unleashing his Advance Awakening, was defeated in one hit?’
It was unbelievable. Naturally, they all thought that their ally was strong, but the difference in power seemed too large to ignore.
The moment Chun Yeowun killed Duke Deruan, he reached out to the rest of the floating demons.
“Everyone! Move away!”
Duke Legion judged that the human was targeting them and hurriedly shouted to the Marquises.
The Marquises, who felt the sense of crisis as well, flew in every single direction.
Wheik!
At that moment, a sword with black flames appeared around Chun Yeowun. Although there were hundreds of demons, the moment the swords appeared, Duke Legion felt goosebumps all over his body.
‘This is bad! Really bad!’
He flew without looking back as his instincts told him to run as far as he could from this crisis.
It was then.
Puak!
Something pierced his stomach.
“Kuak!”
Duke Legion stared at what had pierced his stomach: it was a sword with black flame.
The sword of black flame that pierced the body moved with great speed in a line.
“D-Damn it!”
Duke Legion turned the other way to avoid the sword that was aiming for him again.
Puck!
Something passed through his face this time: the same sword!
The sword with black flame that had pierced his face moved again and hit the chest another time. It then kept piercing the Duke’s entire body.
The sword with black flames destroyed Duke Legion’s body the same way that piranhas eat their prey.
‘!!’
All the demons looking at the sky from the yard were speechless.
Grand Duke Kaliaf, an old war veteran, mumbled,
“Is this… real?”
Slash! Slash!
With his eyes, he could see the sword with black flames constantly moving by the black trails it left as it destroyed the awakened demons.
“Kuak!”
“Ack!”
Psss!
Even those who were running away were being swept away by the sword and as they promptly dispersed into ashes.
The air, which had been filled with demons moments before, was now filled with ashes.
Destroying everything in an instant was impossible; even Grand Duke Kaliaf couldn’t understand what had just happened
