Descent of the Demon God-Chapter 203: Bamut Underground Prison (3)

“Kaliaf!”

Grand Duke Kaliaf looked up at the bizarre voice calling him from the top.

Green eyes and green skin stood out from the monster, who wore a rag-like black coat.

With a puzzled expression at the unfamiliar sight, Grand Duke Kaliaf asked,

“You know the Grand Duke, prisoner?”

The expressions of the demons who heard the word ‘prisoner’ instantly showed their anger, as they hated being treated like prisoners who were confined in this hell.

“You!”

“Prisoner?”

Usually, demons were frightened by the Grand Duke’s presence, but their horrible days at the prison only filled them with hostility.

Even Night King was wearing a strange expression as he looked his palms.

‘Does he not recognize me…?’

The Night King’s eyes were filled with disappointment.

“I asked if you knew me, prisoner.”

Grand Duke Kaliaf asked again.

The Night King grinned and said,

“You hypocritical fake. Nothing has changed over the years.”

“Hypocritical fake?”

The Grand Duke raised his eyebrows. He was seeing this prisoner for the first time but this prisoner had not insulted him. Duke Bevman was uneasy.

“Your Highness, my daughter—”

“I know.”

Grand Duke Kaliaf had seen her right away, but judging from the current atmosphere, it seemed like they would have to deal with the prisoners before bringing back Marquis Irene.

However, it felt strange.

‘Is he leading the prisoners?’

The prisoners in Bamut weren’t friends, but they all stood still and surrounded the area, as if waiting for someone’s order.

Grand Duke Kaliaf looked at the Night King and said,

“I guess being imprisoned isn’t enough as you wish to be killed, prisoner.”

“Killed? Hahaha! Killed!”

The Night King laughed in a bizarre way, pointing at the Grand Duke and shouting,

“You think this is the same place as the outside you came from? You just entered into hell by opening the gates with your own hands.”

“Kuahahaha!”

“Kulkulkulkul.”

The demons laughed at those words, but then they heard someone’s voice.

“For being prisoners, they sure make a lot of noise.”

It was the voice of Chun Yeowun.

Even the Night King, who only cared about Grand Duke Kaliaf turned, he asked with a ghastly glow,

“You’re a… human?”

At his words, the other demons mumbled. Even though they thought that something was off about him, they didn’t think he could be human.

‘What?’

Night King was puzzled.

Even the environment outside the prison was difficult for a human to survive, but this human not only opened the path into Bamut but was able to speak without difficulty.

‘Is this a bluff?’

Night King thought Chun Yeowun was bluffing, it was difficult to hold on in Bamut.

Even he suffered during his first several months in this place.

However, something strange began to happen.

Psss!

Duke Bevman was shocked at the black smoke coming from his nose.

“What is this?”

He knew that he wasn’t feeling well since he had landed in Bamut, but this strange feeling was only confirmed when he realized that he wasn’t able to move his body.

“Bevman?

“Your H… Highness, something is strange.”

Grand Duke Kaliaf frowned.

He, too, had been protecting his body with demonic power since this environment was different. However, if even a Duke couldn’t stand the conditions, then this place surely was horrible to stay in.

Among the demons on the hill looking down at the newcomers, one with muscles smiled and spoke to the Night King,

“He is enjoying the benefits of Bamut.”

Even if he was a Duke, everyone in Bamut received the same treatment and suffered the same effects. A yellow lipped demon on the other side smiled as he said,

“You will soon realize that this place is hell.”

Bamut was the worst place for demons.

The moment they realized its secret, they were sure to experience despair. The Night King raised his hand and commanded,

“You may kill all but Kaliaf.”

“Wahh!!!!”

As soon as the command fell, the demons rushed towards Chun Yeowun’s group at once.

Around 300 or so scar-covered demons joined in the frenzy as Grand Duke Kaliaf grinned while looking at them.

“So adorable.”

The Night King seemed to have increased the courage of the other demon prisoners with his orders; however, the Grand Duke was a warrior was familiar with fighting hordes of enemies.

In a voice full of excitement, he said to Chun Yeowun,

“There is no need for Master to come forward. I will deal with this on my own.”

“You Highness!”

When Duke Bevman tried to step in, Grand Duke assured him that he would be fine.

“You, get used to this place first.”

The Duke’s condition didn’t seem too good, so he couldn’t just put the Duke aside.

The Grand Duke decided that it would be better to clear a few demons before the fight became more serious, which would give Bevman time to recover.

Otherwise, Marquis Irene would be in danger.

Phat!

Grand Duke Kaliaf stretched out his hand as the opposing demons rushed in.

He tried to manipulate space by changing it into its marbling form, which would allow him to deal with multiple demons at once. Seeing this, the Night King’s eyes shone as he smiled and said,

“Stupid attempt.”

Woong!

‘Huh?’

When the Grand Duke tried to use his ability, the manipulated space instantly went back to normal.

‘How?’

He couldn’t understand it. No matter how much he tried to use his spatial manipulation ability, the space kept returning back to its original form.

Grand Duke was bewildered; this was the first time he had ever experienced this.

“Kuahaha!”

The demons next to the hut on the hill all laughed. They thought that the Grand Duke would be different from the other demons they had dealt with, but even he seemed to struggle like the rest.

The demon who had 6.23 million combat power groaned,

“You didn’t adapt to Bamut either as expected. What could you do in a place where powers are completely changed no matter how strong you are?”

This was the secret of Bamut: the abilities that used demonic powers were nullified or reversed due to the opposing force inside the prison cell.

From the Grand Duke to the rest of the demons, everyone was scared.

They had all adapted to this place over many years and survived by fighting amongst themselves.

“Kuakukuk! You look ridiculous, Kaliaf.”

The Night King looked at him and laughed.

He had been waiting for this day to come and it finally did. Here, even the strongest demons outside the prison became weak and powerless.

“You are all done for.”

The demons ran in like a swarm of bees trying sting Grand Duke Kaliaf to the bone. Savoring the scene, the Night King looked down. However:

“When will this end?”

Chun Yeowun stepped ahead as he asked those words.

“Master, wait a minute!”

Shh!

In the unexpected situation in which his ability didn’t work, Grand Duke Kaliaf tried to use Advanced Awakening by covering himself. However, the awakening could only happen when demonic power was condensed and exploded out instantaneously, and in a place where demonic power couldn’t be used, that would never happen.

“…”

“Enough. Just stay still.”

“Hm.”

Grand Duke Kaliaf was flustered, coughing in response and saying nothing.

“Idiot. If Kaliaf couldn’t do anything, what can you do? Tsk tsk.”

Night King clicked his tongue as he saw Chun Yeowun step up. He had planned to kill everyone but Kaliaf, but now this human was digging his grave with his own hands.

It was that moment:

Kwang!

Chun Yeowun, who had been walking, stepped ahead as the floor was ripped away except for the land around Grand Duke Kaliaf and Bevman and stone pillars came out.

Papapak!

“Kuak!”

“Ack!”

The demons who were running at the front had their bodies slammed by the pillars and some were even pierced by them.

Seeing this, the Night King and his men frowned.

“No!”

“How is he using his powers?”

In order to use abilities and demonic power, one had to adapt to the environment, but this human was just casually showing off his powers!

“Damn it!”

“Avoid the pillars and attack!”

However, the demons here had more combat experience than those outside the prison and were evil to the core.

After the first time, they managed to move without being hit the stone pillars.

“I don’t know how you’re doing it, but your ability won’t damage us anymore!”

“Die!”

Five demons ran towards Chun Yeowun at the same time, but Chun Yeowun kept stepping forward.

Abilities spewed out from the hands of the five demons who were ready to take down Chun Yeowun.

It was then:

Puck! Puck! Puck!

“Kuak!”

“Ack!”

Invisible swords with a black energy appeared in the air and pierced their cores. Before their attacks could even reach Chun Yeowun, they had turned to ash, leaving the other demons perplexed.

“W-what?”

“How did that happen?”

Step!

Chun Yeowun kept walking forward, not paying attention as he headed towards the hill.

“As expected of Master. Bevman!”

“Yes, Your Highness!”

Grand Duke Kaliaf and Duke Bevman followed behind Chun Yeowun, wondering why they couldn’t use their abilities when Chun Yeowun seemed to be fine.

“What are you doing?! Kill them!”

A one-armed subordinate shouted from the top of the hill.

Thankful that they had only witnessed the slaughter and hadn’t been at the front of the attack, rest of the demons hesitated to move.

‘What is this?’

Despite shouting from top, the demon was confused.

The human was just walking, yet the sense of intimidation made them cower.

‘Are those idiots down there scared?’

They were supposed to be warriors who didn’t fear death, but seeing this, it seemed that they couldn’t step out in face of the overwhelming power.

‘Why isn’t he affected by Bamut?’

Even the Night King was confused. Among the prisoners imprisoned there, some of them came from Talisha’s clan, and even they turned powerless when they first came to Bamut.

‘Tsk.’

Either way, it didn’t matter that much.

If this continued, the morale of the demons would crumble so he had to do something.

The Night King looked at the two demons him who were stronger than the Dukes and had 5 and 6 million combat power.

“You need to go.”

“Yes, we’ll take care of it.”

“I will destroy that human.”

The two demons moved down while looking at the demons scared of Chun Yeowun.

Looking at their backs, the Night King knew he could rely on them as they were the strongest demons imprisoned in Bamut besides the Night King.

The one-armed demon spoke to Marquis Irene, who was lying on the ground helplessly.

“Woman, this will be a glorious sight.”

“W-what?”

“Those two were the monsters who fought for the top spot before Night King came. As long as they are there, no one can win.”

At that, Marquis Irene soon burst into laughter as her haggard face formed a smile for the first time since coming to Bamut.

“Haa!”

The one-armed demon, who was displeased initially, became annoyed at her reaction.

“Have you gone crazy, woman?”

“You are mistaken.”

“What?”

“None of you here made my left eye burst.”

“Your left eye?”

The demon didn’t know about her ability and asked what she was talking about.

In response, she looked at two demons who were walking towards Chun Yeowun and said,

“How long will those two last?”

Grab!

“Kuak!”

The one-eyed demon grabbed her by the hair.

“The more I talk to you, the crazier you seem, bitch. How long will they last? Fine! Should we make a bet then? Since there’s nothing left of my left arm, I’ll bet my right arm—”

Slash!

The clear sound of something being cut resounded in the area.

‘!?’

The most unbelievable thing then happened.

A black line appeared in the necks of the two demons who were walking down, the strongest after the Night King.

Their necks sleekly slid to the side and fell to the ground.

Thud! Roll!

The heads rolled to reveal their faces, which had clueless expressions as they were oblivious to what had happened to them.

All the demons at the bottom were shocked and couldn’t say a word; there was one demon in particular.

“Th… that…”

The one-armed demon, who boldly said he would risk his remaining arm, couldn’t complete his sentence.
