Maxed Out Leveling Novel

Chapter 155

56. Dreadville (3)

The scream didn’t last long.

As the light disappeared from Lafriz’s eyes, the flurry stopped.

That doesn’t mean he’s dead. Recognizing that a profound change had taken place within the demon, Cha Shin Hyeon withdrew the power from his hands.

Laprise, released from restraint, collapsed as if torn apart. He said in a firm voice, kneeling on one of his knees and ceremonial like a knight in the Middle Ages.

“New Laprise, I greet my lord.”

The demon spirit, one of the two pillars supporting the demon king, was no longer there. The soul, shredded and reassembled into a new form, with all its memories, became Cha Shin Hyeon’s faithful servant.

Shaking his head arrogantly, Cha Shin Hyeon asked his new subordinate.

“Can you not tell the outsiders what happened here?”

“Are you going to kill them all and close your mouth?”

“Man, if that was the case, I would have blown up the entire castle from the start.”

The dead do not speak. The best way to keep secrets is to kill all demons in the Demon Castle.

However, the Demon Castle was unnecessarily large, so the number of people living there was needlessly large. There are at least hundreds of people caught by the senses, but when will they find and kill them all?

Cha Shin Hyeon asked again, giving a pint to the truly demonic idea that came out as soon as he asked.

“Isn’t there a more economical way other than wasting energy?”

“Um, in that case, there is a way to activate the containment barrier. Enemies from the outside can’t come in and can’t get out from the inside. It’s just that the master has destroyed the defense barrier in the sky, so we can fly and go back and forth… … .”

“Those who can fly on their own are those who are higher level demons or higher.”

Saltion, who followed Cha Shin Hyeon and landed inside the royal castle, received the words naturally.

“Most of the people staying inside the castle are low-level demons in charge of chores and intermediate demons in charge of security. There are only a few advanced demons, so if you pick and kill them, you can deal with them quickly.”

“It’s okay. Then the two of you will take care of it.”

“Yes!”

The two demons who shouted loyally were scattered in different directions.

It was like a nightmare for the demons who had not yet accepted the situation because it was over so quickly, like roasting beans in lightning.

“Hey, Lafri… Cuckoo!”

“why?”

“It is the name of the lord.”

“Aww!”

Of course, Saltion and Lafriz knew all the faces of the high-level demons. I couldn’t hide, and I couldn’t even fight. Screams echoed everywhere.

The ordered target was a high-level demon, but the nearby guards did not care.

“go away.”

“Wow!”

“Run away! Run away!”

It would have been better if he had been shivering in the corner with his head banged like low-level demons, but he was dying slowly while obstructing his path because of his accustomed habit.The impatient demons made a desperate escape by running out of the castle gate or recklessly jumping right off the fortress wall, but none of them succeeded.

Kwakwagwang!

Kalun and Feltram circulated over the Demon Castle and kindly poured magic on the heads of demons leaving the castle.

A dragon that flies in the sky with its wings is much faster than a mid-level demon running with two legs. The difference in combat power was much greater than the difference in speed. The demons escaping did not go far and all died.

A demon on the ground, a dragon in the sky.

In the face of overwhelming violence, the demons were quickly suppressed.

“I mean, that’s great.”

He decided that there was no need to go out on his own, and secretly came down next to Cha Shin Hyeon, and El Ther, who was only watching, opened his mouth.

“what?”

“Your magic. A magic that subdued demons that he learned from seeing the demon king’s.”

“Are you talking about annihilation?”

“Yeah, it’s not like that kind of magic.”

“Huh?”

Cha Shin Hyeon tilted her head. Elter sighed and explained.

“Original annihilation is a powerful magic that literally destroys the soul. Although it is classified as a spiritual magic, it is difficult to classify it as a spiritual world. It’s not about manipulating the mind, it’s magic that touches the soul underlying it.”

Of course, powerful beings have a high spirit level, so they don’t work well. The reason Dellight used magic was to stop Cha Shin Hyeon for a moment, not to have the full effect.

However, Cha Shin Hyeon’s annihilation magic was a little different from the original one.

“How could the magic to erase your personality like that and make you loyal to you would be annihilation? You should call me assistant or brainwashing.”

“I don’t really like the word.”

“Well, whatever you call it, it’s up to you, but it’s certain that it’s compatible with the original magic.”

“It’s not that I can’t imagine what you said.”

Perhaps the difference was due to a different interpretation of magic.

Cha Shin Hyeon has been using the word ‘spirit’ as a ‘spirit’ or ‘personality’ rather than a ‘soul’.

Although the soul and the spirit have something in common, they are completely different concepts. Misunderstood magic must fail.

The power that Cha Shin Hyeon deals with is the power of preoccupation, the power of God. The power of the deep sword that can change the world at will also reached the realm of the gods. Although a lot of power was cut while crossing the dimension, there was not much decline in quality.

In short, the magic that should fail is structured so that Cha Shin Hyeon’s ability is so great that it succeeds. Would you say that a new magic was created on the spot?

“In the end, it was good. If the soul disappears according to the effect of the original magic, isn’t it just a doll?”

“right. It is only manipulated like a puppet. Of course, his strength is not fully displayed even half of his life.”

So it is said that it was mainly used for insults during the war between dragon blood and demons. It was a disgrace for a noble dragon to limp like a doll hanging from a string and kill its own people. Later, in the sense of revenge, the dragon blood party did the same by betting on the spirit to annihilate the spirit.

“On the other hand, your magic… By inheriting the memories and acting autonomously, there is no difference in fighting power compared to when he was alive, but he changes his personality from the ground up so that he does not think of betrayal at all.”

Elter trembled slightly.

“To be honest, this is a really vicious and cruel magic. I don’t know if it will work even with the Demon King, but just through it with the Demon Spirit… Aren’t you saying that in theory you can rule almost everyone in the world?”

And that includes hemolysis. Even the most powerful dragon, Elther himself.

It would be less embarrassing if I just died. Look at Saltion or Laprise. Even though he has all his memories, he is completely loyal to Cha Shin Hyeon. A terrible contradiction in which the devil, who saw humans as inferior to worms, serves humans as his master.

The demons were already dead. It’s just something Cha Shin Hyeon created that took its place. For El Ther, it was more terrifying than his death.

“That’s right. It’s a power that can be terrible if you want to abuse it.”

Cha Shin Hyeon nodded his head quietly.

“But there is no need to worry. Because I am different from Yangcheng.”

“Who is that?”

“There was once a guy who didn’t know the subject and tried to kill me. His specialty is law. It’s like a psychic magic developed by humans, driven in a different form from magic. He was an expert on the human mind.”

“It’s an odd technique. It’s different from magic.”

“okay. I don’t know the details as it’s not my area of ​​expertise, but those who are obsessed with law have something in common. It’s about taking pleasure in manipulating other people’s minds.”

“… It looks like a demon.”

Elter said tremblingly. Cha Shin Hyeon grinned.

“From the point of view of the victim, it is a devilish technique. I have the ability to not be beaten, but I agree with the statement that they are demons. I hate tinkering with other people’s minds.”

He paused there for a moment, then turned his head slightly to the side. Seeing Saltion running rampant below, Cha Shin Hyeon continued.

“However, apart from my personal feelings, there are times when I feel the need to act with a sense of displeasure. That’s why Saltion and Laprise were subdued.”

“Can you tell me what the need is?”

“I hate cowardly fights, but I’m not stupid enough to rush alone towards the demons that fill the entire Dreadville. That is not fair, it is foolish.”

If he had fully carried his abilities while on Earth, he might have acted like that. Because he had the power to actually make the ignorant move of going straight to the Demon King’s Castle and repeating the process of picking the Demon King’s head.

But his power is not perfect. Therefore, it was necessary to accurately grasp the capabilities of oneself and the other. You don’t have to be just as cunning as the devil, but be aware that your opponent can be cunning.

“This place is like a dead place, but I didn’t cross the dimension in search of a place to die. I didn’t bring you from home to oxidize fiercely. We need to make a living path.”

“Are you going to catch the demons and make them all subordinates?”

“To some extent. It would be convenient if I could do that, but because this is harder than I thought.”

She’s just not showing her tee, but when she enchanted La Frieze a while ago, her zen spirit was blown away in a lump. The energy consumed was no joke as the effect was deceptive.

It was a problem that I did not feel when I wrote to Saltion on Earth. because he recovered quickly. However, in Dreadville, the recovery of premarital power is noticeably slower.

It wasn’t to the point where he brainwashed one person and started panting from exhaustion, but it was also difficult to overuse it. It was not good if I had just written it and ran into the Demon King before recovering.

“It is not important to simply increase the number of subordinates, but to focus on defeating the demon lords individually. There are things to study while dealing with the Demon King… … .”

“research?”

“My biggest goal isn’t the annihilation of demons, is it?”

If you want to deal with demons, you just need to stay on Earth and let them cross the cracks.

It was impossible to do so, so they moved to Dreadville. Cha Shin Hyeon’s greatest goal was to never lose her body.

Research was needed for that.

It’s still just as faint as a mist, and it’s only at a stage that can’t even be conceived, but if you face the Demon Lord once again, inspiration may come.

At the very least, I needed an environment where I could focus on dealing with the Demon King without unnecessary interruptions. In this world full of demons no matter where you looked, you had to put a lot of effort into making it possible.

“They are the paving stones.”

After those words, Cha Shin Hyeon was silent. There was a lot more to ask, but Elther wisely didn’t disturb Cha Shin Hyeon, who was deep in thought.how much time has passed

I can feel the commotion is much less than before. As an uncomfortable feeling of silence passed among her surviving demon tribes, Sal Tion returned to Cha Shin Hyeon’s side.

“Sir, everything has been dealt with.”

“What about Laprise?”

“I went to activate the barrier.”

As soon as he finished speaking, a light vibration was felt throughout the castle. A wave of condensed magical power envelopes the entire wall and turns it into all kinds of complicated magic.

After a while, Lafriz also returned to report.

“I did as you were commanded. Until the barrier is lifted or broken, you cannot enter or leave the castle anymore.”

“Good work. Can you crack down on the low-middle-class demons?”

“of course. Whoever treats the lord disrespectfully, I will punish him immediately.”

“You seem to prefer the usual kill solution. In any case, it means that the information we have here is not going to leak out.”

“Yes.”

“Okay then, let’s take a break first. It also gives the dragons a resting place.”

“I’ll see you.”

La Frieze, who answered with a yes, flipped his finger. The low-ranking demons, who were trapped inside the building, rushed towards them even though they were trembling. In terms of clothes, he looks like a servant.

“Follow me, me, me.”

“OK.”

Cha Shin Hyeon replied calmly as if he had come to his own house. No, from now on, his house is right. The former owner is dead, and the butler takes over him as the new master.

“Really, did I say that your position was that of the Demon King’s deputy?”

Cha Shin Hyeon, who was going to follow the servant, asked as if he had suddenly remembered.

“That’s right.”

“What can you do to other demons with your authority?”

“There is very little you can do alone. Because the Demon King didn’t want it… … .”

La Frieze groaned and clasped his head.

“I am usually in charge of managing the interior of the royal castle and administering the territory, but the other demons and I are basically on the same level. They are only nominal agents, and you cannot force them to do anything other than the role of delivering the Demon King’s orders.”

“That’s fine.”

“Yes?”

“What do those who receive the order know if it is really a command from the Demon King? If you’ve always delivered it, you’d think it would be the same this time.”

Cha Shin Hyeon, who snorted, ordered.

“As soon as the internal clean-up is complete, issue an order to summon. To all the demons under Delite.”

“Are you saying we should gather here?”

“okay. The reason is that you think appropriately and make it up. Before dealing with other demon lords, first.”

In Cha Shin Hyeon’s eyes, the faint scribe was young again.

“Erase the traces of Delite.”
