Chapter 687: The God of Death and the Hell Corps

[You lost 40,000 Hell Corps.]

[The God of Death is a harsh and cruel being!]

[The God of Death is giving you a warning!]

Rex became very flustered. He was someone that only moved after thorough calculations and preparations. Based on his calculations, Ben should not have been able to beat Elainey.

And yet, in front of his very eyes, Elainey’s skill was completely crushed by Spear God Ben’s own skill.

‘Elainey is even afraid?’

There was an existence that the Sword of the Gods feared? Undoubtedly, Elainey truly felt afraid a moment ago. He, who had turned into a Death Knight, could not understand.

‘What was that coercion right now?’

It was only natural that he felt flustered, especially if he was unaware of the power of the passive skill: ‘Spear God’s Authority’.

[Indomitable Knight.]

[The Indomitable Knight will never back down regardless of the circumstances.]

[All of your stats will increase by 26%. Your spearmanship level will increase by +1.]

However, the fear that struck Elainey soon disappeared.

‘What an interesting nation, huh?’

Elainey thought that this kingdom was truly interesting. After all, where else would there be a Spear God serving a king? And it was also very obvious that this kingdom would pose a huge threat to His Majesty, Nerva Sephiroth.

Dash, dash, dash, dash—

Elainey charged toward Spear God Ben. Meanwhile, Rex felt relieved, ‘That’s right. That’s right. Spear God Ben’s skill damage might be higher than his but Elainey’s level will definitely overwhelm him.’

There are huge differences between skill and physical levels. Even if Spear God’s Ben’s skills were more powerful than Elainey’s, there was still no way for him to win against a Sword of the God.

Slaaaaaaaaaaaaam—

However, Elainey, who was charging forward to fight against the old man, was suddenly sent flying back.

“…?”

Rex looked puzzled. Elainey jumped back to attack Spear God Ben once again. The two of them exchanged blows one after another. But in the end, Elainey was the one that was being pushed back.

“Wh, what…?!”

The reason for that was the notification that rang for Ben, after the hunt for God of Snakes Elizabeth.

[Spear God Ben’s potential increases dramatically after successfully killing God of Snakes Elizabeth!]

In fact, this was a notification that all of the NPCs that participated in that hunt had received. It was not just a slight increase, but a lot. In other words, Spear God Ben’s path for growth had opened up. With his bloody efforts, he was able to grow even further. This meant that Rex’s earlier calculations and assumptions that he could not grow any further were completely wrong.

Staaaaaaaaab—

Elainey was sent flying back after getting hit by the shaft of the spear.

“…”

Elainey could not hide his confusion any more. He was aware that Spear God Ben’s body was not something that was inferior to him.

‘His abilities and skills precedes mine?’

Elainey’s spearmanship could not be compared to Spear God Ben’s own. Immediately after that, the spear in Spear God Ben’s hands shot forward, moving like a snake as it aimed for Elainey’s neck.

“…!”

Baaaaaaaaaaaaaang—

However, an explosion erupted in front of Spear God Ben. The man, who caused the explosion, was wielding two hatchets with one slashing down on Ben’s shoulder, and the other on his flank.

“Kghhk!” Ben groaned.

The man was none other than the seventeenth ranked Sword of the Gods, Rend. After all, Rex was currently receiving the help of two Sword of the Gods. No matter how strong Spear God Ben was, there was no way that he could deal with Elainey, who was approaching with his spear, and Rend, who was swinging his ratchets.

“Ughhh!” Another groan escaped Ben’s mouth as he looked around while blocking the path of the two Sword of the Gods in front of him.

‘The situation is not good.’

Ben might still be causing problems for Rex right now, but the truth was the situation around him was not good. This was because the Beyond the Heavens’ troops, who had clashed against the Hell Corps, were now being swept away.

“Keuhaaaaaaaaack!”

“Aaaaaaaaack!”

“Uwaaaaaaaaaack!”

“…”

Ben could not hide his despair as he watched the soldiers that he carefully raised and nurtured die like that.

“Ha, hahahahahahahahaha! Hahahahahahahahaha!”

Rex began to guffaw in laughter.

The Beyond the Heavens Kingdom was starting to get pushed back, their soldiers getting slaughtered on the field. In other words, Rex’s contribution was increasing at a rapid pace. The higher Rex’s contribution was, the stronger the being he could bring from hell.

‘Additional reinforcements will arrive soon.’

Who was Rex’s additional reinforcement? It was none other than the God of Money Henry. Henry was someone that ran the top merchant group in the continent, the Money Bag Merchant Group.

Henry was the one that had suffered humiliation and disgrace after getting PK-ed by Minhyuk at the entrance to Edea. He had been waiting for the opportunity to go against Minhyuk and the Beyond the Heavens Kingdom.

Right now, he was leading 700,000 mercenaries under his banner. These 700,000 mercenaries alone could easily compete against the Beyond the Heavens Kingdom’s soldiers.

‘I will definitely kick you down!’

Rex, who was now the God of Death, raised the staff in his hand.

[God of Death’s Wrath.]

[The God of Death’s Wrath has fallen upon you!]

[All of your stats will decrease by 21% while your physical and magical defenses will decrease by 30%!]

[The rate of successful attacks will be reduced by 25%!]

[Terrible fear and terror encroaches upon you.]

[There is a chance of experiencing hallucinations.]

A gigantic bloody skull appeared in the sky above them before scattering into smoke and entering the bodies of the Beyond the Heaven’s troops.

“…!”

Spear God Ben easily understood that the situation was becoming worse.

“All troops, retreat…!”

He judged right there and then that it would be safer for them to defend from the walls and endure there.

“A, aaaaaaaaack! What, what the hell! Don’t come! I’m telling you, don’t come here! Aaaaaaaaack! Di, die!!!”

Staaaaaab—

“Keheooook! Carls… Wh, why?”

“Keuaaaaack!”

“Aaaaaaack! Great Demon Verus!”

Slaaaaaaaash—

Due to their hallucinations, some of the soldiers of Beyond the Heavens Kingdom began turning their weapons against their own comrades. This was all because of the God of Death’s Wrath.

However, Spear God Ben still urged and led the troops to retreat as fast as they could.

‘We already have more than 90,000 casualties…’

Ben felt miserable. How could they console the families of the bereaved? How sad would His Majesty and the people be?

‘Your Majesty, where are you…’

Ben hoped that Minhyuk would come to their aid soon.

As they retreated, the enemy continued to chase after them, crushing them and sweeping them away.

Vwoooooooooooong—

They saw another large army appear from beyond the bloody barrier. Their flags carried a ‘gold coin’, the symbol of the ‘Money Bag’ merchant group.

At that moment, Rex used God’s Voice.

[The God that ruled over life and death is furious at the foolish Beyond the Heavens Kingdom.]

All of the cameras turned towards the God of Death. Then, Rex said, “I am Rex, one of God's Children. Right now, I am the God of Death that has come to punish the Beyond the Heavens Kingdom. Why punish them, you ask? Recently, Beyond the Heavens’ King Minhyuk had PKed one of God’s Children, Henry, with no rhyme or reason, just so he could extort money and artifacts from him. I’ve borrowed the power of the God of Death to punish him!”

Rex sounded solemn. No one could refute his words. In fact, none of them could tell what was right or wrong. After all, God’s Children had been working in secret, so none of the people knew about their deeds, whether they were good or bad. Rex knew that it was better to make the first hit no matter what.

[This is unbelievable. God’s Children have staged a war against the Beyond the Heavens Kingdom?]

[That might be the case but if Beyond the Heavens’ King Minhyuk truly did that then the God’s Children are the one in the right.]

[It’s too early to make a conclusion. Nothing has been revealed yet. We don’t know what the truth is. The only thing that we know of is the fact that God of Money Henry is one of God’s Children. Another thing that we know of is the fact that the God of Death and the God of Money have joined hands to destroy the Beyond the Heavens Kingdom.]

These were the headlines that followed that breaking news.

[Breaking News: God of Death and God of Money Henry are advancing to destroy the Beyond the Heavens Kingdom.]

[An unusual disaster in Beyond the Heavens Kingdom. Will the Food God’s kingdom collapse just like this?]

Then Rex, who was standing behind the retreating Beyond the Heavens troops, started to summon something. After all, he had already gathered enough contribution to summon one more.

“…”

PD Kim Daeguk looked at the bloody-red sky and thought, ‘What the hell is happening here?’

The space in the sky above them was torn apart, revealing the gates of hell. PD Kim could not help but recall the memories of the past. He had already seen this once, just once, before.

The God of Slaughter, the devilish being that had killed more than tens of millions of people. The human that was hailed as a demigod and the one that Beyond the Heavens’ King had killed before. PD Kim was also the one that had recorded that momentous battle.

Then, Rex used God’s Voice once again.

[The blood and tears shed by the tens of millions of people that he killed, flooded the world and created an ocean. His sword did not show any mercy and would kill anyone, even emperors and kings. In the end, even the gods feared this evil being.]

“…”

The huge Hell’s Gate shook and trembled.

Thuuuuuuuuuump—

Just like that day, the skeletons that held the gates closed were gripping it tightly so that it would not open.

Thuuuuuuuuuump—

However, the skeletons shrieked from the powerful impact of the force behind the gates, the gates shaking fiercely once again.

“Kihyeeeeeeeeeeck!”

“Kyaaaaaaaaaack!”

[Look. Watch as the one that was hailed as the God of Battle, who was later on called as the God of Slaughter, makes his appearance.]

Thuuuuuuuuuuuuuump—

The soldiers of Beyond the Heavens flinched as a gap appeared on the tightly closed gates.

[Asura’s Realm.]

[Asura’s world of fighting and carnage has unfolded.]

A skill was activated.

Shwaaaaaaaaa—

Shwaaaaaaaaaa—

“Keuaaaaaaack!”

“Kkeoooooook!”

“Kihyeeeeeeeeeck!”

“Kiiiiiiiiiiiiik!”

Blood flowed out of the eyes, noses, and ears of the Beyond the Heavens’ soldiers as they screamed. In fact, the same was true for some of Hell Corps.

PD Kim Daeguk thought, ‘How, how come? How come Asura’s Realm has been activated but Asura has not yet come out of the gates?!’

He could not understand it at all.

“PD, what should we do?!”

“All cameras, focus on the Hell’s Gates and get a close up!!!”

PD Kim Daeguk was one of the people that loved and cherished the Beyond the Heavens Kingdom. He was a huge fan. Because of that, he had decided that it was only apt that he would be the one to capture the destruction of Beyond the Heavens Kingdom with his camera, should it happen, although it would be a pity.

[Director: PD Kim, our viewership ratings have reached 30% now…]

Although their ratings were high, there was still a bitter aftertaste in his mouth. What should he do? Should he feel happy or should he feel sad while filming the end of the Beyond the Heavens Kingdom?

Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang—

Finally, Hell’s Gate slammed open. Just like in the past, they expected the God of Slaughter to come out.

“PD Kim…”

“Right…”

To be honest, this was the first time that PD Kim would see the God of Slaughter Asura in the flesh.

Despair colored the faces of Spear God Ben and the troops of the Beyond the Heavens’ troops. On the other hand, Rex’s lips were curled into a huge smirk.

‘Today is the day that the Beyond the Heavens Kingdom will perish!’

Baaaaaaaaaaaang—

Then, Asura’s hands appeared, grabbing the Hell’s Gate with one hand and pulling himself out.

‘Huh?’

However, PD Kim Daeguk realized that something was wrong. He felt that something was strange.

‘What’s that? Why does Asura’s arm look injured…?’

Was it an effect to make Asura look more terrifying? That was not it. There had been no injury on his body when he appeared in the past.

[Demigod Asura has descended.]

[Those that send Asura back to hell will receive rewards.]

A man of three meters, with bloody red skin and full plate armor covering his body and two bloody red swords in his hands, appeared. He looked just like he did when he slaughtered millions in the past.

Just one look at his figure and anyone would feel numb from fear. In fact, everyone was tense and nervous as they watched Asura come out. However, for some reason, the Asura that came out of the gates of hell was staggering this time. Even his body was covered with blood.

Fwiiiiiiiiish—

“Ah, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah…”

“Uwaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”

“What, what the hell?!”

All of them could not hide the doubt and confusion on their faces. Then, at that moment, someone else came out of Hell's Gate.

This woman was wearing blood-red armor and holding a bloody sword in her hands. Her silver hair fluttered behind her as she flew towards Asura from the depths of the gates of hell.

Slaaaaaaaaaaash—

With a swing, she cut down Asura’s head, and he turned into a stream of blood that got sucked back inside Hell’s Gate.

Shwaa—

An unbelievable world message hit the world as the woman landed lightly on the ground.

[The world’s very first Absolute Demigod Class has been born!]

[The first Absolute Demigod Class is ‘Asura’!]

[There are a total of 20 Absolute Demigod Classes that exist in the world!]

The silver hair that fluttered from beneath the woman’s helmet stood out to everyone. The beautiful eyes from beneath her helmet looked coldly at the Hell Corps that were charging towards the Beyond the Heavens Kingdom. The woman’s face was slowly revealed as she took off her helmet.

At the same time, the new Absolute Demigod Class Player triggered God’s Voice.

[Asura, the one that dyed the world red with blood, has been cut down and killed.]

[The new ‘Asura’ has become a sword that will slaughter the enemies of the Beyond the Heavens Kingdom.]

[The name of the new Absolute Demigod Class that appeared in the world has been revealed.]

[The Sword of the Beyond the Heavens Kingdom.]

[A friend of the Beyond the Heavens Kingdom.]

[The Goddess of the Battlefield that will fight for the Beyond the Heavens Kingdom.]

“As..car…!” PD Kim exclaimed, a shudder running down his body.

Ascar, with her silver hair fluttering behind her and her sword in hand, glared fiercely at the Hell Corps that were attacking her beloved kingdom. Then, she coldly declared, “Hell’s Infernal Sword.”

Then, Ascar’s greatsword struck the ground.

Slash, slash, slash, slash, slash, slash, slash—

The enemies that charged towards her and her kingdom started to get torn apart.

This was the return of Ascar.
