Chapter 297. The Lost Octopus (4) – PLAYER WHO RETURNED 10,000 YEARS LATER

Chapter 297. The Lost Octopus (4)

– Lady Lilith, look! Didn’t he personally tell you that he really is Satan?! – shouted Lucis.

If you compare, then for him the death of the Lord is as if the guy of the girl with whom he is unrequitedly in love died… Of course, Lucis saw it as a good chance. Considering that he personally revealed Satan’s deception and is ready to console the saddened Lilith, his chances were increased.

– Shut up! How dare you call the Lord Satan?! Lilith shouted back.

Her gaze, directed at Lucis, trembled. Green tentacles swelled, the darkness around her parted even more, and she was released.

Kang Woo, who lowered his head, narrowed his eyes and the tears rolling down his cheeks disappeared in an instant.

“As I thought,” the guy exhaled and stood up.

Everything fell into place.

– Oh-oh… – Kang Woo sighed, starting to walk.

Lucis blocked his path. Black lightning flashed behind him.

– Well, one hundred…

Before he could finish speaking, Kang Woo kicked off the ground and his body shot upwards.

Kang Woo’s fist went across Lucis’s face. He didn’t even have time to use the spear in his hand, and was thrown back.

He coughed, but immediately jumped to his feet.

– Damn! – he stretched out both hands forward.

A black sphere, created from electrical discharges, appeared in his hands.

– Mistress Lilith!

All of his eight wings at the same time straightened and the space filled with darkness shuddered. Lucis shouted confidently:

– I’ll protect you!

His words were like a replica of the main character saving his heroine. Only this phrase was supposed to be uttered by Kang Woo himself, not Lucis.

– Damn! – Kang Woo clicked his tongue and raised his hand.

Five rebirths, for which he risked his life, and increased control over the Magi that appeared after of how he started sleeping next to Han Sol.

– Inferno, – he spoke the name quietly.

Avichi of the Great Demon of Greed Mamon. He combined the Power of Hellfire and the Power of the Blade. A brightly burning sword appeared in the guy’s hands.

– W-what… – Lucis immediately began to frown.

He felt intense heat radiating from the yellow sword. Due to this incredible power, the space around him trembled.

– This… – His eyes widened.

The guy heard from Lucifer about the Powers of every Great One. Among them was the Great Demon of Greed, Mamon. He remembered that his father had mentioned the powerful force of the flame, because of which even other Great Ones did not climb to him.

– Why… why Satan has the Power of Mamon…

He did not understand.

The powers of the Great One were so unique and uncontrollable that even the Lord could hardly cope with it.

“What… how…” chaos began in his head.

Lucis looked at the yellow sword that Kang Woo was holding in his hands. He stopped breathing. Despite the fact that he was now tens of meters from the sword, his skin was burning.

– How… how did you manage to use Power of the Flame?! Lucis yelled.

Kang Woo laughed and swung Inferno’s sword.

– And not only her.

– What?. – he narrowed his eyes like would ask what kind of nonsense he is.

– Using the Power of Flame alone cannot achieve this result. Otherwise, it would have been useless.” -that was able to unite Avichi with other Forces. Being on the Nine Thousand Circle of Hell, he could not even dream of such a thing. Then he went through rebirth several times just to cope with the Power of the Great One.

“I got stronger.”

Lately, there have not been such powerful enemies that he could test his skills, but now Lucis stood in front of him.

“I don’t know, though, how much he has changed.”

Kang Woo understood that Lucis had not only acquired two new wings. He didn’t know how the guy trained and what he went through, but he definitely got stronger. Although he was still weaker than Raphael and Uriel.

Now he possessed a strength comparable to that of Belphegor. But if you remember how long this demon drove the entire Nine Thousand Circle into fear, it becomes clear that Lucis has grown a lot.

“However…”

Kang Woo slowly walked towards Lucis, holding the Inferno sword in his hands. He released an electric sphere towards the guy. If they were now on Earth, then, probably, the soil would have parted under their feet by several hundred meters.

“… that’s not enough.”

Of course, in Hell Kang Woo it took some sweat to defeat Belphegor, but not now. Lucis’s attack was no longer felt at all.

“Indeed.”

Kang Woo had the feeling that he was fighting a small child. He could not even imagine that one day, in the battle with the Great One, he would have such a feeling.

Heart beat, and blood seethed in his veins.

He, like any living creature, was instinctively glad that he became stronger, and smiled. Kang Woo felt the power through which he could do anything. The body burned with the knowledge that the whole world was at his feet. Previously, he could only imagine that he was capable of anything. But now it has become a reality, and he has found freedom of action.

– Twilight.

Kang Woo swung Inferno. He did not use refined techniques like Si Hoon did. He just knew roughly what they were, but at the same time he could hit the enemy with one blow. The sword followed the intended route, slicing through space. A split formed in the air, from which a violent flame poured. It consumed the electrical spheres of Lucis, after which the rift began to close on its own.

The fire disappeared, as the sun disappeared from the horizon at sunset, plunging the world into twilight.

– A-ah! – shouted Lucis.

Everything around was on fire, even the emptiness was burning without a trace.

[You have learned the Twilight skill from Inferno]

[You learned how to quickly manage Inferno]

[Inferno promoted from SS rank to SS + rank]

“What is this?”

Kang Woo didn’t expect this.

His mood immediately improved.

– A-a-agrh! – Lucis, clutching his burning skin, fell to the ground.

“If he goes on like this, he will fall back.”

Kang Woo slowed down the Inferno action. He didn’t care if he died or not, but so far he had questions for him. The guy walked over to Lucis crawling on the ground and looked at his half-burnt body.

He clicked his tongue and made a cut on his arm, giving his blood. Using the Power of Restoration, he healed the wounds on Lucis’s body. It was like a wave swept over him, extinguishing the fire.

– Master!

At that moment Lilith ran up to him. Her tentacles wrapped around the guy’s body, and she smiled.

– I believed that you would come to save me…

– Lilith, – he called softly.

The girl trembled, realizing that there was anger in the guy’s voice.

– What is it, Master?.

Kang Woo pressed his lips together tightly and looked down at her. She looked away to another place.

– Why did you do that? – he asked, biting his lip.

– I don’t understand what you mean…

– Why? – he reached out and put his hand on her shoulder.

His hand was trembling.

– He really got much stronger. Perhaps he could even compare with the Greats.

He knew what Lilith was capable of in battle. In short, it is weak. Most likely, she could at most be able to defeat only Shargiel. The great one is certainly beyond her.

– But… – his gaze trembled. “You could have escaped.

She managed to elude Asmodeus, and even more so from such an idiot as Lucis.

There is a silence. Lilith lowered her head and cried regretfully.

– You… – she slowly looked up. – You never smiled at me like that…

– What?

– I have been waiting for you for hundreds of years, I was ready to give you anything! – she screamed, feeling the injustice. “Not once… You never… did not smile at me the way Han Seol smiles.

Kang Woo opened his mouth

“What kind of show is this?”

He got the feeling that he got into some kind of TV series. Was it for this stupid reason that she let herself be tied hand and foot?

Kang Woo was angry.

Okay Lucis, but if it were Asmodeus, she really could have suffered. No, her act crossed all boundaries.

– What the… – rude curses poured out of Kang Woo’s mouth.

Feeling her shoulder trembling, Kang Woo realized how scared she was right now.

This is not normal.

She herself understood that she acted stupidly and crossed all the boundaries.

Still, she did it, let herself be caught, so that Kang Woo would pay attention to her and love her.

“You never smiled at me like that…”

The words she said floated in Kang Woo’s mind and he closed his eyes.

Okay drama, okay, he’s suddenly on the show. He tried to understand her words.

“The man she loved for hundreds of years…”

Not just a man, but a husband with whom they swore eternal fidelity to each other, once fell in love with another. And yet she tries to understand him and continues to love. Yes, she even gave advice to a girl with whom her husband is in love, so that she could become closer to him. She did a lot of work in order to unload her beloved at least a little.

But he was not interested in her and continued to notice only his new beloved. He cheated on her right in front of her.

“Fuck…” Kang Woo opened his eyes wide. “Here I am.”

Lilith even had to stoop to play this whole show. But she was also to blame for refusing to believe that she was beautiful in human form.

But Kang Woo understood her.

Let’s say that someone comes and says that some beetle, which you thought scary all your life, is actually very beautiful. Who would believe this? The man would have grinned and said not to talk nonsense, but Lilith lived for thousands of years surrounded by demons adoring her beauty. So, of course, she could not believe such words, even if they were spoken by her lover.

– I don’t want much, – Lilith smiled sadly and took Kang Woo by the hand with which he held her shoulder. – At least once… at least for a moment…

A tear rolled down her cheek and dripped onto Kang Woo’s hand.

– Smile at me the same way you smile at Han Sol.

The guy pressed his lips tightly.

He wanted to scold her for what happened, but after learning more about the reasons for her act, could not. On the contrary, he felt like the main culprit.

“And yet…”

At least this must be said.

– Never again… – he hugged the girl… “Never do that.

His hand was shaking. He thought he was going crazy when he first heard about Lilith missing.

– Don’t do that.

– A … – exclaimed Lilith.

Through his arms, she realized how much he worried about her.

– P-p-sorry, I’m just…

She shivered and realized what she had done. Her act was no different from betrayal.

– I know.

Kang Woo stroked her head and left a nasty slime mark on his hand. But even that didn’t matter now. Thinking about what he had done, at least he could endure it. He stroked her cheek and lifted his head. A bright smile touched his lips.

– Ah! Lilith trembled.

The smile she longed to see. Goose bumps ran through my body.

– Mister…

Feelings gripped her, and she gripped the tentacles with which Kang Woo was holding even more.

The guy looked at the crying Lilith pressed her lips together tightly.

Normal smile.

Because he just didn’t smile at her, she did such a crazy act. The guy felt a terrible sense of guilt.

He didn’t do it because of her scary appearance, but Lilith loved him all this time, even though people look disgusting to her.

He never once tried to understand her – neither what feelings she felt, nor her love. It just didn’t bother him. He focused on her scary appearance and did not see her as an object of love.

– Lilith… – Kang Woo took a deep breath.

In fact, he still smelled a disgusting smell coming from her, and a disgusting feeling from the touch of her tentacles.

But it doesn’t matter.

– A …

He took Lilith by the chin. All eighteen eyes looked at the guy, and her body trembled. She held out her head to him.

Hundreds of years.
