Demon Castle 3

The last time when Byeol had removed his limiter during the Kamish battle, his entire body had turned into a flaming mass.

This time though, no changes occured on his body except the elongation of his wings. But the temperature of his body had reached astronomical amounts. If not due to his anomalous properties, the air around his body would have immediately turned into plasma.

Byeol turned the tip of his sword down towards the ground. He pushed the sword down and instantly the injured body of Vulcan had a huge hole in it.

Vulcan thrashed it's arms around as a show of resistance, but its body quickly lost strength.

Byeol dismissed his sword and retracted his wings, making his body do a freefall towards the ground.

A few metres from the ground he unfurled his wings and slowed himself down. The few remaining Demons turned around and ran away.

Even though escaping from a fight is the greatest humiliation for a Demon, they didn't even think about it at all.

The aura being released from Byeol made them sure about one fact.

They can't beat that 'thing', no matter how hard they try.

But they didn't get to escape as all the Demons around the city immediately turned to ashes.

Suddenly a column of white broke out of the surface and cracked through the skies.

But Byeol didn't even notice that as he gazed down towards the corpse of Vulcan. He placed his palm over the corpse and concentrated some of his energy on his palm. Cracks started around his arms. The cracks grew larger in size before with a shattering sound. The space broke away revealing a dark void.

The corpse was sucked into the void immediately and disappeared within moments. Byeol used his wings to prevent himself from being sucked into the void.

He stared at the void for a few moments before the space repaired itself and closed off the void. After everything was repaired, it looked as if an entire chunk of the city was torn away.

*Sigh* With a sigh Byeol closed his eyes.

He could have killed Vulcan easily but chose to observe it instead when it went into the second stage.

He could feel that Vulcan released more mana than the threshold of the environment, and wanted to learn how to do so.

'Spreading my energy outwards and passively reinforcing the space around me. That is a good method, but will be problematic in the real world.'

Byeol unconsciously knew that if he were to go to Earth in his current condition, every single human within a few hundred metres would start kneeling and praying to him after being influenced by the 'holy' aura that he was giving off.

He looked up towards the sky and his eyes widened in surprise. He could see, in the burning red skies of the Dungeon, a single yellow dot was present.

The yellow dot was the star. The same star visible from Earth that always seems to give a sense of familiarity to him.

A small smirk graced Byeol's face as certain memories popped up in his mind. His face turned back to his regular stoic one and walked up towards the column of light that had emerged from the middle of the city.

.

.

Byeol kept on killing his way till the 74th floor. This time he again got Transportation Papers from killing his enemies from the 70th floor.

The paper read, [Transportation Point Permit for Leader of Legion of Demon Metus]

But unlike the Demons that were of Vulcan's legions. The soldiers of Metus were undead like skeletons and zombies, with the strongest being skeletons covered with strong armour from head to toe.

But all of them disappeared with a single slash of his sword.

Byeol looked up towards the white column heading towards the 75th floor. He could feel that the Demon Metus was on the next floor.

He flapped his wings and flew up instead of using the Transportation Paper.

.

Byeol landed on the ground. He looked around and saw himself surrounded by thousands if not millions of undead. Not a single building was present on this floor, with the entire area covered with undead.

The ground wasn't even visible due to the number of monsters. In the middle of these undead was a single throne with a huge skeleton sitting on it. The skeleton was 10 meters tall with its body entirely covered with a black robe.

The undead was Metus.

It pointed its fingers towards him which caused all the undead to head towards him. They prepared their weapons. The millions of archers at the edge of the army pulled back their bows and fired their arrows.

Byeol looked up and saw the arrows falling towards him. The arrows were so numerous that they completely blocked the light of the sun for a few seconds.

But he didn't get worried about it. He twitched his hand materialising his sword. He turned his sword a little and immediately all the arrows in the sky disappeared.

Metus was so surprised by what happened right now that it forgot to command it's forces for a second.

Byeol used that time and made a horizontal slash with his sword. Every single undead in front of him started turning into ash.

Metus immediately used its fingers and commanded the armies. The remaining undead tried to kill Byeol but they didn't even last a single second against.

But their goal wasn't to kill him but rather to distract him. Metus used the lapse in his attention and waved his arms performing a spell.

The ground suddenly started shaking and cracking. Bony arms emerged from the cracks. The arms grabbed the ground and pulled themselves out revealing the creatures. The monsters were similar to the undead earlier, except this time it was even more numerous.

Metus waves it's arm and pointed towards Byeol's location but he was nowhere to be found.

Before it could search for him, it disintegrated. Byeol was standing behind the location of Metus. He dismissed his sword and watched as all the undead broke apart after they stopped receiving mana from Metus.

He bent down and touched the few ashes of Metus and thought how it had shown surprise after seeing him destroying the arrows.

'The Monsters are getting more and more sentient.'

AN: I have been having a rough couple of days. I mean I haven't been ill for a LONG LONG time, but last week it looks like I had all kinds of illness that I could possibly have.

ToothAche. Headache. Eye Problems. Headache. (Enough to be mentioned twice). Then I fell down and badly sprained my knee.

fuck.

Well most of them are from my head. I will be going to a Doctor tomorrow and again the day after tomorrow. I might be quite busy with these so I will not be able to upload any chapters. Or even if I do, they will be quite irregular.

I am extremely sorry!~
