Volume 61:
Having come out of the spring, Muyoung took the time for self reflection as he dressed.
'Many things have been attained by killing Lerajie. '
More had been harvested than expected. Unlike having taken little bit of Divinity and memory from Dantalian, Lerajie left an enormous number of gifts.
First of all, Muyoung looked over his Titles.
'The Demon God Hunter. '
Title -> Demon God Hunter (All Stats + 60, Increase by 30 each time a demon god is extinguished. )
Evolutionary Title!
It was much better than the 'The Rejector (All Stats +20)', the one that was held previously.
It would not be too much to call it the ultimate title.
It seemed that '60' has been allotted since both Dantalian and Lerajie were hunted.
In other words, with each victory, Muyoung would become exponentially stronger.
'Justice Enforcement, King Slayer. '
They were the supporting capabilities in terms of proving that winning was the only meaning of Muyoung's existence.
Furthermore, they were the ones that leveled up, due to the effects of Muyoung's victories.
Effects of Victory -> Sword God/Sword Ghost's Strength (???, You become a Sword God or a Sword Ghost. ) Star of Essence (S+++, All Stats +50) King Slayer (S+++, Wisdom and Intelligence +50, Mantra Effect) Ruler of Flames (S++, All Pure Capabilities +40) Death Lord(S, Power of Death +50, Strengthen undead based on the level of Art of Death. 0. 1% per 4, 12. 5% on the basis of 500) Dragon Slayer (A++, Wisdom-Intelligence +15. Dragon's Natural Enemy) Oom (A+, 10 Strength increase. Ruler of Dokkaebis) Gremory's Anguish (S, All Stats +15) Victor of Demons (A, Increase the power of death that rules the deceased and devil powers by 10) Soulmate (B+, When spirit assimilates with undead, the affected undead's capability increases by little) Murlocs's Descendant (B+, Growth of Murlocs quickens. ) Fairy's blessing (B, Fairies feel closeness. ) Dwarf's Sworn Friend (B, Dwarfs feel closer. ) Devil Hunter (B++, Raises the probability of getting crystallization by hunting demons. ) -> Sum of 14 victories' effects: All Stats +65 (Pure Capabilities +40), Intelligence +55, Wisdom+55, Power of death +60, Strength +10.
Two things have changed in big fashion.
The Star of Essence and Gremory's Anguish.
'Looks like the change took place by obtaining the guide's star and earning the recognition from Gremory. '
If it was a random reward then it was random. However, those random things were among the strongest weapons that Muyoung had. That was, he attempted to gain all the powers he could and, in fact, he has succeeded.
When all those weapons and the abilities of the skills were added up then no one would even come close to Muyoung when it came to capability.
Muyoung rotated the dial further on his status viewer and examined the remaining ones.
Occupational effect-> Death Lord (Lord Class) King Slayer (Lord Class) Great Angel (Lord Class)
Capabilities-> Strength 1, 059(585+474) Agility 827(398+429) Stamina 816(401+415) Intelligence 850(385+465) Wisdom 880(355+525) Attack 802(397+405) Magic Resistance 885(240+645) Spirit Ability 855(410+445) Evil Tendency 950(555+395) True. Divine Powers 861(516+345) True. Fire Attributes 805(460+345) Sum of all levels: 877 Special note: Luciferre's power has been sealed.
Gabriel's power has been inherited. You are creating the Muyoung Sword. Gabriel's spear has been engraved into your heart. Power of Divinity has been inherited. Weapons currently using & wearing: Anguish (All Stats +15, Strength +75, Intelligence +45, Fighting Aura +30), 3 of 12 archery sets (All Stats +30, Magic Resistance +140, Power of Death +40, Agility +50), Immortal King's Breast Plate (Strength +15, Attack +30, stamina +50, Magic Resistance +80), Hermes's Boots (Agility +30, Wisdom Propensity =50), Skull Accessory (Strength +19, Agility +4), Knight King's Greaves (All Stats +40, Loyalty), Wilderness Set (Magic Resistance +80, Intelligence-Wisdom +20), StarLight (Star of the Absolute-All Stats +20).
It might look messy because so many things have been attained, but the important thing was the increase in the capabilities.
The sum of the levels, in the 800's.
Muyoung was walking on a path of which no one in the history of mankind has ever dreamed of.
Especially, what he has shown the most increases were in the areas of Divinity and Evil Tendency.
'The power has been greatly increased after absorbing the Divinity of Lerajie. And taking his and Dantalian's Divinity has pushed up the Evil Tendency.
A four digit strength level has been reached. Wow, 1, 049...
Although he thought that an increase has been observed, he did not feel it personality as he has yet to use the power.
Muyoung wanted to dig deeper in to the exact explanation of 'Divine Power'.
Divine Power: The user's base stats 'Strength' increases by 1. 5 folds.
It was the incredible authority that could increase the base stats for 'Strength' by 1. 5 folds. It wasn't a simple 1. 5 fold. The more the base stats increased, the more its boost increased.
There was no skill that increases base stats by multiples. It was possible only by authority. It was the moment that the awesome power of Lerajie was being understood.
'Still not sufficient. '
However, it was insufficient. Defeating Lerajie was a fluke. He had barely defeated him by draining his power with heavenly interventions, and at the end taking several gambles.
Had there been even a single failure, it would have been Muyoung who had faced a defeat.
In his current condition, going against low level Demon Gods would be possible, but facing the Demon Gods in the high echelon would be impossible.
He needed to hunt other Demon Gods and grow stronger by absorbing their powers and authorities.
In order to do that......
'Gremory is needed. '
Gremory was the leader of the resistance.
As a unique female Demon God, she received the support of the remaining four Demon Gods for being an excellent defender.
Murumuru, Pornious, Citri, Asmodai.
If all of their powers were combined, it wouldn't be impossible to bring Muyoung's ideas to reality.
The problem was would they concur with Gremory's proposal.
'The chance of disagreeing will be high. '
No matter how long those demons have been following Gremory, the demon race held the unique arrogance of the demon race. Join forces? There was no way that they would accept mutually assisting of one another, as equals.
The opinion of the opposition has always been 'let those races that will become slaves live' to begin with, but never 'let's treat them equally'.
However, they must come to understand the reality.
From here on, Muyoung's position was critical.
'The potential of 'I', the being. '
The memory of Dantalian, the Divinity of Lerajie.
And the powers of Gabriel and Luciferre which Muyoung had!
The Muyoung Sword that reached the 51st level... And Ars Nova on top of that.
Furthermore, the fact that Muyoung was a 'human. '
Muyoung had countless weapons. If he was to earn the trust of Gremory, then it would be equivalent to like having donned several wings.
*****
'This is important from this moment on. '
Form an alliance with Gremory. He had finally jumped over a hurdle.
A strategy must be well formed. Even if he was to earn the agreement from the demons, it still wouldn't be that he had the agreements from other transcendental beings.
It would require too much time to pay them visits in person. By commissioning a number of trusted lieutenants, he would have them to come to him.
And Muyoung had one person whom he thought could be that trusted lieutenant.
'The Dragon King, Hansung. He is the right man. '
If he had the trusts of the Dragon Kings, attracting the transcendental beings would be easier for him, too.
The Owner of All Mountains, the King of All Dragons, the Child of the Moon!
It was told that every one of them had the power to oppose the demons. Under certain circumstances, they were even stronger than the demons, such that even the demons couldn't encroach on their territories.
In fact, Muyoung has never seen them.
Therefore, the Dragon King Hansung should be the best person as he knew them well.
'Seraphina and Pendragon must know how to find him. '
Muyoung did not forget those two. Seraphina, who was a cult interrogator, had relationships with Hansung since young, and Pendragon, who became a Seraphina's knight, was Hansung's apprentice.
If it was those two, they would certainly know how to locate Hansung.
'Bring in the people, too. Bring in the large cities, Mulalan, Kunja Province, and all others, then create an arena of competition. '
Humanity could not be left out.
Although their experience levels weren't to his liking, wars provided innovative ways of becoming stronger.
Of course many will be killed, but if they were to not fight, everyone would get killed anyway.
Furthermore, only with their alliance, 'the conditions of extinction' for certain demons would also be satisfied.
The more the people were mobilized, the more options would be available for Muyoung to utilize them.
And fortunately, there was the right individual who was perfect for bringing them together.
"Bae Sungmin."
Upon calling his name, a circle shape materialized on the floor and Bae Sungmin jumped out of it.
It was the temple of Gremory. Officially, only Muyoung was allowed to be inside, but at his discretion, Muyoung called upon one more person.
It was so that he could ensure that the work can be carried out in secrecy.
"Have you summoned me?"
Muyoung spoke quietly to Bae Sungmin.
"Call Enroth, the Iron King, and Soara, the Demon King of Roses, and go to Mulalan."
"Is there a need to call upon Enroth and Soara?"
He was asking if it was possible by himself, Bae Sungmin, alone.
Unlike Tacan, he does not wield ten thousand dragons.
Just Mulalan. When needed, Bae Sungmin could prepare it all by himself, but Muyoung wanted certainty.
"You have many things to do. You will need many strong hands."
"I will follow your orders."
After locating Hansung, get in touch with Mulalan and make them follow Muyoung. If Mulalan was to mobilize then the Great City and Kunja Province would also mobilize. And if the three largest cities of humanity were to mobilize, everyone would have to come together.
Certainly, it was necessary to minimize any chance of Muyoung or Bae Sungmin from being exposed during that process.
At any rate, Muyoung had a precedence of attacking them in the past. It was to raise their alertness, but it was best to eliminate any potential for provoking their rage.
It would be sufficient for only Hansung and Gremory to be visible to others.
Muyoung needed to manipulate them in the shadows and set inescapable traps for the enemy.
"The intermediate contact point will be my territory. You have to work as fast as possible."
"I will make full use of my abilities."
It meant that he would use the abilities which were related to death, in gathering the humanity together. All the keys were with Mulalan and Hansung, so the determination that he would execute the mission even by killing the Pope or making Hansung the undead was understood.
Muyoung did not add any unnecessary words.
Muyoung recognized of Bae Sungmin's abilities, also. In addition, he was more cautious and cool headed than anyone else. If Bae Sungmin has made such a decision, it was important to respect that.
The joining of other remaining races... Aligning Dokkaebis, the Bultars, and dwarfs would be easy, but moving very fast was necessary if other small races, including the elves, were to be gathered.
Bae Sungmin, alone, was not sufficient.
An appropriate talent. There was one, but whether he would obey Muyoung was questionable.
"Ain, the high elf. '
Come to think of it, Muyoung seemed to have everything that he needed.
Muyoung drew a picture.
Only the outlines were completed at this juncture, though.
When the picture completes, it would be the new Dawn for the Heaven and Earth.
After finishing the treatment, he left the temple.
At the same time, countless number of demon eyes stared at Muyoung.
The newly appeared demon king, The Ash Gray...
The scene of personally crushing Lerajie still remained in their heads.
Muyoung surveyed the surroundings.
"They look like they do not approve of me."
Although he was being revered, he was not trusted.
That's what their eyes told.
Countless numbers of Demon Kings and demon races have been waiting for Muyoung to come out.
And reverence without trust only resulted in suspicion.
"Demon King of the Ash Gray! I am Oculus, the Demon King of the 24th Legion! I challenge you to a duel."
Although they knew that they could not win if they have seen the battle with Lerajie, the demons and the Demon Kings wanted something more concrete, a definite proof.
It was true that unless one has direct experience, he would not know it for sure, and they were operating under the guise of 'what if there is a one in ten thousand' chance.
Muyoung raised his shoulders.
Before the opposing demons were to arrive here, it wouldn't be such a bad idea to have cleaned up the area's vicinity, first.
"I do not know how to go easy."
The problem was that this was the truth.
After attaining the skills, he hasn't had the chance to practice how to control his powers.
It was very possible that like the demon races that were obliterated by Lerajie's punches, they could meet the same fate.
"It doesn't matter! If your power was real!"
Muyoung nodded his head.
In fact, the Demon King that abruptly sprang forward aspired to become the closest ally of Gremory. No wonder that there would only be aggression.
Flap!
Muyoung opened up his wings wide.
"No need to delay taking care of such problems. Oculus, is there anyone else other than you? That is, those who do not trust me or resent me."
There was no way that there wasn't any more. Their eyes turned more vicious.
Muyoung twisted up the end of his lips and flipped his finger.
"Come at me all at once."
"You arrogant bastard!"
They did not refuse.
The demon races were known to be the races which were incapable of understanding the word, honor.
Nearly one thousand demons, including the five demon kings all bared their teeth toward Muyoung.
Muyoung did not even take out the Anguish.
It was so that he could practice how to control his powers given this opportunity.
Kwaaang!
And at the moment that Muyoung threw his first punches, they came to a realization.
The Demon King of the Ash Gray.
That he was not an ordinary demon king.
That he was in a class of his own!
