My Alter Ego’S Path To Greatness Chapter 413

Dark Nest (3)

“Emergency—! Bisaang—!”

[Quickly close the barrier…! No, first of all, call up troops…. Pfft! Damn it!]

“That’s ridiculous! “No one noticed until they came right in front of us like this?”

The army of Helheim appeared in the middle of the Dark Nest’s stronghold.

Many demons were taken aback by the sudden appearance and fell into confusion.

No wonder they reacted so strongly.

Because there was something called a ‘gateway’ to prevent this situation in the first place.

Isn’t this even the heart of a faction connected to all territories?

As such, we had no choice but to have thorough defenses against external intrusion, but all of them were in vain and neutralized…

“Huh~ Still, it’s surprising. This may be my first time in a situation like this, but the movements are more systematic than I expected. “Is it also a dark nest?”

[…Pfft!]

Hela, the planner of this surprise event, quietly looked around and looked around at the marquis-level demon Serentata staring at her.

The other person looked angry as if she took it as a mockery, but she was sincere.

I thought he would easily break down in confusion due to the sudden situation that occurred without warning, but I was impressed by the way he managed to respond despite the situation.

It is at a level that cannot even be compared to Duke Goeran’s Abnormal, which was previously defeated.

“Well, it’s all just meaningless rebellion.”

A cool smile formed on her lips.

From the moment he himself came here—or rather, from the moment Davidson, who visited first, set foot on this land—this outcome was already decided.

Of course, it took quite a lot of work to move the troops of the forward base here using Hella’s “World of Demons” as a passage, but…

‘The forward base is located at the central gateway, which is a strategic point of the Dark Nest. . Moreover, I even tried my hand at this heartland, which is connected to all areas, so there is no way I could fail!’

Of course, it wasn’t that simple either.

It’s easy to say, but it wasn’t for nothing that we put a lot of effort and thorough preparation in advance to make this plan a success.

If I hadn’t obtained the sacred fragment through Ken, I wouldn’t have been able to do it this quickly.

‘Since that was taken away, it’s no wonder the Demon Dragon Duke goes crazy like that. Of course, that’s not the only thing he lost.’

Hela burst out laughing.

As she was well versed in black magic, she was able to infer what the other person was planning just by looking at the facilities inside the temple.

Not only was he trying to remodel his body using the remains of the Demon King, but he was also planning to use the sacred fragments he had been saving ever since.

‘Seeing as how he was using the temple as he pleased, he may have been destined to become another apostle.’

However, just as you were about to start work in earnest, a thief suddenly appeared and stole all the key materials. Would you be upset rather than angry?

It must have been a great task for him that he had been preparing for for hundreds of years.

Perhaps because of this, Dark Nest and Demoniac were fiercely fighting like enemies at this very moment.

‘Of course, rather than confronting each other as equals, it must be said that Demoniac is stubbornly holding on to the Dark Nest’s unilateral attack, using any means possible.’

But if you ask me, do I feel sorry for Demoniac and the Duke of Darkness at all?

Of course, I didn’t have the slightest intention to do that.

That’s because Hela already had some idea of what he was doing behind the scenes.

‘I thought I had definitely weeded him out, but…’

The most powerful power she has.

Everyone was wary of the danger, but no one could accurately gauge what could be done with it.

It was through executives who were influenced by the power of ‘demonic power’ that grew so rapidly that it far exceeded their expectations.

“Huhuhuhu—.”

[…….]

With a meaningful smile, Hela looked at Serentata, a marquis-level demon who was wary of her.

Starting from the snake’s head with a long neck, to its body that touches the floor in a graceful curve, and to its long, extended tail.

Serentata had the appearance of a giant snake with a pair of powerful arms, but he could not bear to wield the vicious ax and large saw knife in his hands.

‘…It hits you the moment you move.’

His extremely developed instincts reject the reckless actions of his body.

In addition, the magic power that filled the world, the air itself, rose up all at once and pressed down on him as if intimidating him.

To prevent him from acting carelessly.

That was the reason why he was unable to make any moves even though he was in charge of the base’s defense.

Coo coo coo coo—!

Coo-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-

o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o of-of-the-moment- while he was stranded, unable to do this or that.

The army of Helheim, which had advanced from beyond the wilderness, began stamping its feet repeatedly and displaying its fighting spirit.

They lined up behind Hela, as if they had already completed all preparations for battle, and looked as if they would rush in at any moment and start a war.

The military spirit gushing out like an active volcano shook the defense barrier of the home base violently.

The reason may be that the “world of the devil” overlapped and a hole opened up in the once perfect barrier.

Serantata was able to sense this instinctively.

‘…damn it’s over.’

That this is a fight that cannot be won.

In addition to the barrier, it was a separate story from whether there were arrangements made in the vicinity to prepare for an external attack or whether their troops were still more numerous.

The flow has already completely shifted to that side.

‘But it’s already too early to give up. There’s no need to try to win.’

He was one of the strongest men in the entire Dark Nest.

The moment you give up, not only this base but also the entire area controlled by the Dark Nest will be completely taken over by the enemy.

He rolled his bright yellow snake eyes back and forth and tried to solve the situation.

‘For now, just taking as much time as possible is enough. If only I could hold out until the Demon Dragon Duke, who heard the news, returns…!’

Just as he was re-composing his mind and making up his mind—.

“You can hear the sound of heads rolling all the way from here. “But how long are you going to stand still like that?”

A relaxed voice that shook that promise to its roots flowed into his ears.

It was only a few words, but just hearing them made the mental erosion begin to progress even faster.

And it wasn’t just limited to him.

“Huh— huh—.”

[Pfft… I’ve heard rumors, but could it have been to this extent?]

“Ah, Duke of the Demon Dragon…”

Even in the midst of confusion, agitation spread among those who had gathered according to the established response system.

Even Marquis-level Serantata was on the verge of shaking, so it was natural for those below him to react in that way.

[Nonsense. How could this be…! Obviously, it wasn’t at this level when I researched it in advance…!]

“You’re arrogant.”

Hela, who was completely embarrassed by this, crossed her arms arrogantly, as if interrupting him, and frowned.

How dare you try to measure your own limitations with that poor insight.

In fact, this was all thanks to the fragments of divinity she had recently acquired, but she did not care about such trivial details at all.

Anyway, that was also his power now.

“I think I need some discipline. Now then…”

The red eyes filled with the power of ‘dominance’ of the “Seven Colored Demon Eyes” flashed sharply.

Even at this moment under Hela’s control, the energy of domination resonated with those who blindly followed her behind the scenes.

And it soon became connected to this world called ‘Demon World’—.

[“Kneel.”]

Next, a short command was uttered.

The reaction that occurred immediately afterward was very dramatic.

Kwaang—!

Kugoogung!

Coo!

With a loud earth shaking as if there was an earthquake.

The majority of the troops gathered to stop Hela were forced to the ground.

Demons with various appearances, including giants, animals, plants, etc., writhed on the ground and all worshiped her.

Only a few high-ranking demons struggle to resist its coercive power.

[…!]

“What?!”

However, they too were frozen by the sudden transfer.

No matter how low their level was compared to high-ranking devils, they were still an elite fighting unit left behind to protect their home base.

But to neutralize them all with just a few words…!

“Whoa.”

Hela let out a short sigh. I feel

my heart pounding

.

From the moment you set foot in the enemy’s heart to the moment you invade your rival’s rights and mistreat and oppress his followers.

Hela’s authority as a demon king is gradually becoming stronger.

‘I think I understand why the Demon King’s position in the Demon World is so absolute.’

In this demon world, the followers of the demon lord were no different from a kind of believer.

Perhaps because I had already raised several avatars that had reached semi-divine status, I instinctively felt how I could use this power more efficiently.

At the same time, I was able to see how foolish the 15th Demon King, who fell due to the evil plan of the Demon Dragon Duke, was.

If he had stopped being greedy and worked hard to fully control his power, at least while he was in the demon world, he would not have been able to harm him carelessly, no matter how much he was a demon dragon duke who joined hands with a human god.

‘It is not surprising that the greatest enemy of those in power is greed.’

Hela slowly stepped forward.

Not for attack, but in a defenseless state with no defense posture of any kind.

However, the Dark Nest’s army, gathered with the determination to die, could not dare to stand in her way or cause any harm to her.

I just stare blankly at her.

“Kneel!”

At that time, Siana, who had been quietly following Hela, harshly criticized her.

No matter what, she is also a count-level devil.

The knees of those who had been struggling to endure the shouts filled with ferocious force eventually touched the floor.

“Bow down.”

Ken then scanned the surroundings with sharp eyes and coldly recited.

As his energy increased, as he had grown to the level of a marquis in name and reality, their bodies, which had gradually risen, were crushed to the floor again.

[Bow your head!] Marquis

-level Balrog Tovares, who quickly converted and finally returned as a conqueror with a changed flag, shouted loudly.

As he faced his former colleagues with their heads on the ground in a different situation, his voice even contained a joy as if he was enjoying the situation.

“This is the king’s presence!”

Helheim’s soldiers shouted in unison. Serentata, who had endured to the end, closed her eyes tightly.

king. Devil. Ruler of the Demon World.

The one who reigns over all demons and the one who rules the demon world on behalf of the demon gods.

…Now I had no choice but to admit it.

Here in the heart of the Dark Nest.

A new Demon King—the 16th Demon King has been born.

And the fact that the Demon King is not the Demon Dragon Duke that he supported.

Tremble—! Cheaeng!

The large ax and sawknife in both his hands were rolling around on the floor.

Then, he bent down little by little and slowly placed both hands on the floor without resisting the enormous force pressing down on his body.

[Meet the new Demon King!]

Just like that.

The moment when the general manager’s head finally touched the floor.

?Your influence as the Demon King will expand. The existence of the entity becomes more evident.?

The entire territory of the Dark Nest, which boasts the best in the Demon World, has come under the control of Helheim.

It was the moment when a very sudden and shocking robbery of an empty house, which took place while the owner of the house went out to fight, ended in success.

***

The Dark Nest’s garrison on the front line against the Demoniacs.

[…what? What did you say just now?]

Upon hearing his subordinate’s report, the Demon Dragon Duke Crushire asked back as if it were absurd.

That has to be the case.

Anyone who suddenly hears such a ridiculous story can’t help but react like this!

“And the gateway…!”

However, as the subordinate continued, he realized that he had not heard wrong.

In fact, it was impossible for him to mishear something since he could distinguish every single sound of an ant’s footsteps.

What mattered now was that something that made him question his hearing had actually happened.

[Nonsense!]

The Demon Dragon Duke did not hesitate and immediately moved through space.

It is one of the Dark Nest’s advance bases that could be moved without major problems until recently.

But…

[…….]

There was no response.

The Demon Dragon’s body is still left alone on the front line.

Even if he tried to move to another place, even his home base, which could be called his nest, was the same.

Indeed, all the gateways have been sealed.

Even he, who has free pass rights to all areas of the Dark Nest, cannot move!

I knew what the cause of this was after hearing my subordinate’s report.

Powduk-

While he was away.

As the home base was taken over in a sudden surprise attack, all existing areas connected to it were completely wiped out.

To that Helheim mongrel who has been quiet for a while!

[Kwoaaaaaa——!]

A roar of anger erupted from the mouth of the Demon Dragon Duke.

I was stabbed in the back not once, but twice in a row.

It was all the more painful because he had never been harmed by anyone other than when he lost the election for the Demon King after earning the title of Duke of Demon Dragon.

[I will kill you, you bastards!]

Of course, only the space movement through the gateway was blocked, and it did not mean that movement was impossible at all.

However, the place where he is now is in the middle of what was the Duke of Darkness’s territory until not long ago.

It was perfect when advancing in a desperate situation, but it was inevitable that it would take a long time to transport troops without a gate.

It will take a considerable amount of time to return to the base from here…

‘That amount of time will be enough to absorb most of the area!’

However, he could not abandon his troops and attack alone.

If I faced that hybrid without any troops to support me… I didn’t know that something that could never be undone would happen this time.

Crack! Crack!

“Kkieek!”

“Go Duke… Kek!”

To relieve his anger, he roughly shoveled all the demons around him into his mouth.

It was some time later that his actions stopped.

If it weren’t for the sudden call from an unexpected person, I would have stayed like that for a while longer.

[…What is it, Pieta? It looks like you finally want to die? Are you tired of running away now?]

The moment Helheim’s solo performance began.

A conversation between victims who were stabbed in the back was held.
