Chapter 241: Sky Lord (4)

Editor:

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.

<‘Star of Essence’ is a phenomenon in which two stars with different properties are in harmony.>

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.
