Chapter 252: Advance



The Hunting King opened the inventory at Yunjin’s words.

And he took out a map. It was a map of the 10th Demon World that I got after attacking a city a while ago. Of course, he did not even come out to the area of the Amiletta Faction.

All they could see were the towns and villages of the Kyrad Faction. But that was enough.

“Since this is the Kyrad Faction area, can we go this way?”

A place without cities and towns.

It must have been the area of the Amiletta Faction.

“For now, let’s go straight ahead and cross over from there.”

“Ok.”

The hunting king party, who checked the route by looking at the map, came out of the city.

And he began to move to the area of the Amiletta Faction.

The hunting king party, which had been moving for a long time while killing monsters, stopped. 

“Is there a town here on the map?”

Because they had found the village ahead.

“Uh, no.”

The Hunting King looked at the map at Yunjin’s question and replied. It wasn’t on the map.

In other words, it was clear that the village was inhabited by the demons of the Amiletta Faction.

“Prepare for battle, just in case.”

The Hunting King told Leah and Yunjin.

“Interpretation magic too.”

“Yea.”

Leah responded and cast interpreting magic. The Hunting King received the interpretation magic then began to approach the village.

Did they feel the energy of the party? Not long after, three demons came out of the village.

“Human?”

Among the three demons, the largest demon asked a question after seeing the party.

“They are the same person as Soo Hyuk and Yeon Jeung!”

“Oh, humans!”

And then the demons on either side talked.

The Hunting King had no choice but to panic at the words of the demons.

‘Yeon Jeung and Soo Hyuk?’

It was because a very familiar name came out of the mouths of the demons.

‘Maybe that’s Soo Hyuk and Yeon Jeung?’

_________

“Soo Hyuk!”

Yeon Jeung came to meet him in front of the mansion and shouted.

“What is the situation?”

Soo Hyuk also arrived at the mansion and walked inside with Yeon Jeung.

“It’s worse than we thought. She is unconscious.”

Amiletta was badly wounded in the battle against Hertana. And eventually went unconscious.

Soon they were able to arrive at Cranosson’s room.

“You arrived?”

Unlike before, Cranosson welcomed them with a stiff expression. It was obviously because of Amiletta.

“Did you hear what happened…”

As they sat opposite to Cranosson, he opened his mouth and spoke while looking at them. They nodded, then he continued.

“Hertana came back with ridiculous strength. Perhaps it was an unusual way, but she suddenly fainted.”

A bitter expression appeared on his face. Amiletta was defeated but Hertana went unconscious as well. That was their chance, but they couldn’t attack Hertana. Because Hertana did not come alone, and Amiletta was more important.

After a while he opened his mouth again.

“Right now, the only people who can deal with Hertana are you.”

The strongest demon of the Amiletta Factions is Amiletta. However, she was defeated by Hertana.

She was also not defeated in a close battle; it was one sided.

What if Hertana didn’t lose consciousness?

Amiletta and many others must have died.

Under the current circumstances, the only ones who could stop her were Soo Hyuk and Yeon Jeung, Cranosson thought.

“Hmm”

Soo Hyuk looked at Cranosson. It was because since Cranosson said this, it would lead to a quest.

“Originally, we were going to attack after maintenance, but I don’t think we should give them time.”

That was the original plan was to advance slowly while conquering the Kyrad Faction area. But seeing Hertana changed their mind. Although she gained overwhelming power, Hertana’s condition is currently not normal. That’s the reason why she fell unconscious.

However, if given time she might manage to control all her power.

What if Hertana’s condition changes to normal and she fully uses her powers?

Victory may lean towards the Kyrad Faction.

“We want to advance right now.”

So Cranosson was planning to attack right now.

“Can you help me?”

After Cranosson’s words, the quest appeared.

{Advance}

Cranosson intends to advance to Kyrad, the capital of the Kyrad Faction, right now.

Help Cranosson advance to the capital city.

Quest Reward: Quest – Last Battle

It was the quest ‘Advance’.

‘I thought I would get it tomorrow.’

He didn’t expect to receive the quest ‘Advance’ so quickly.

Of course, that didn’t mean he would say no. Rather, it was good to be able to proceed earlier.

“Of course, I have to help.”

Soo Hyuk replied. 

[You have accepted the quest ‘Advance’] 

[The quest ‘Time’ has been deleted.]

“Thank you.”

Then a message appeared, and Cranosson thanked him.

“When are you leaving?”

Soo Hyuk asked Cranosson.

He had said right now but it’s not exactly right now. This is because it takes time to prepare for an attack.

“We will be leaving in an hour.” 

Cranosson replied.

‘Good.’

Soo Hyuk, who still needed time, nodded his head and got up.

“Then we’ll start preparing.

“Yes, I’ll see you in an hour.”

Soo Hyuk bowed his head slightly, greeted Cranosson and left the room.

“What are we getting ready for?”

Yeon Jeung followed then asked.

“I just opened up the illusion attribute, so I can learn some skills.”

There was a very high chance that he would fight Hertana. And she had already avoided his magic before her sudden power up. Meanwhile, now she might be able to do it effortlessly. So, he needed the new attribute to deal with her.

“Oh, you decided on Illusion.”

“Yea.”

Soo Hyuk checked the time while chatting with Yeon Jeung.

‘Two minutes left.’

The cooldown of the skill ‘Archmage’s Subspace’ resets in 2 minutes.

“What do you need?”

After checking the time, he asked Yeon Jeung. Only he could go to the Middle World.

“Nothing. I’ll be hunting Bye!”

Yeon Jeung said with a smile.

They came out of the mansion, and Yeon Jeung went hunting.

“Archmage’s Subspace.”

[Warping to the ‘Archmage’s Subspace’.]

And as soon as 2 minutes passed and the cooldown was over, Soo Hyuk cast the skill.

Maros looked at Hertana lying in bed without saying a word. She was asleep.

‘She’s really strong.’

He already knew she was getting stronger. But he didn’t think she would overwhelm Amilletta so lightly.

‘Her body couldn’t handle it, but…’

Of course, there were problems. The sudden power came with a price. Hertana’s body could not withstand that overwhelming power.

Fortunately, Hertana is a physical attack type of demon, but what if she wasn’t?

She would’ve died without being able to handle that power.

‘Still, it will be resolved with time.’

She needed time. Now, the body can’t stand the strength, but over time, it will be able to withstand it, and at that time, Hertana would be reborn as a true demon king, not a half demon king like now.

‘The key is to hold on until then…’

The Amiletta Faction will be in chaos now that Amiletta has fainted. But they won’t be in chaos forever.

There, they saw Hertana faint. They will advance.

‘How to deal with those people…’

Maros thought of the two humans.

The two humans will also advance together.

‘To Hertana-sama?’

Hertana overwhelmed Amiletta. Both humans will be lightly overwhelmed as well.

‘No, I don’t know when these two will come.’

But as soon as he thought about it, he shook his head.

Hertana is unconscious, and he doesn’t know when the two humans will come.

‘Sigh.’

But if it wasn’t for Hertana, there was no way to deal with the two.

‘I’ll have to think about it.’

Maros immediately stood up.

If the Amiletta Faction and humans came to the capital and Hertana’s condition did not improve by then, Maros was planning to abandon the capital and flee with her.

Anyway, if Hertana was reborn as a true Demon King, she could take it back.

No, it’s not just about regaining the capital, it’s the whole 10th demon world.

‘Where should we go?’

Maros came out of the room and thought about it.

_________

“Buy gold! I have up to 2000 gold!”

“I am selling items! Demon system known this time! It is a light attribute item that is estimated to be strong against monsters in the demon world! Buy in advance!”

Upon arriving at the auction house, Soo Hyuk immediately opened the auction window through the NPC.

‘What should I get?’

First, he searched for the materials needed to make ‘Void’.

‘Not here.’

The essence of the void, let alone the essence of the dragons, was not seen. It was already expected. Soo Hyuk opened the quest window.

Then, he took out a memo from his inventory and started writing down all the skill quests that could be completed only with materials such as wind and darkness that were previously opened as well as fantasy attributes, and he wrote them down on the memo.

After completing the quest confirmation, Soo Hyuk checked the note.

Numerous items were written on it. Soo Hyuk then started to purchase items.

Since there are so many items, the time it took was enormous.

After he bought all the items, he closed the auction window and looked at the quest window.

The completion button of numerous skill quests was activated.

Soo-hyuk pressed the ‘Complete’ button and started learning the skills.

[You have finished the Skill Quest ‘WindShield’]

[Acquire the skill ‘WindShield’.]

[You have completed the skill quest ‘Alter Ego’.]

[Acquire the skill ‘Alter Ego’.]

After completing all quests that can be completed with the skill ‘Alter Ego’, he opened the skill window.

And he checked the information of the skill ‘Shining’ that he completed at the end.

{Alter Ego}

Proficiency: Beginner Level 1 (0%)

Special Effect: Two clones are summoned with a 10% chance.

Mana: 2500 

Cooldown: 5 minutes 

Casting time: 10 seconds 

Duration: 3 minutes

Soo Hyuk thought while looking at the skill ‘Alter Ego’.

‘I’m really curious.’

The skill ‘Alter Ego’ was a special spell among illusion attribute magic.

That’s because it’s a skill that normal illusion wizards don’t have. Like the skill ‘Child of Darkness’, the skill ‘Alter Ego’ must have been a spell unique to the Archmage.

‘If these clones were like that…’

Soo Hyuk remembered the clones that appeared when he opened the illusion attribute.

Anyway, what if the Alter Ego that can be summoned through this spell is like them?
