Chapter 501. Re-coming (2)
Arakail finished the sentence and the space behind him began to split. A crack went through the void and a black rift began to form, from which a crowd of demons tumbled. Offhand, their number exceeded ten thousand. It was the army of Arakail – the Squad of Suffering.
– Hmm… – looking at the demons coming from the split, Kang Woo frowned.
No Divinity emanated from Arakail’s squad, but something strange was felt.
– Ah! – Kang Woo quickly realized what was wrong.
“What’s on their necks?”
The same thing hung around the neck of each demon, but it was definitely not a pendant.
“Bag?.”
These were small bags, half the size of a palm… From the fact that they were convex, we can conclude that something lies inside. When Kang Woo was in Hell, nothing like this happened.
“This is definitely not an amulet.”
Where have you seen demons wear amulets? Even in jest, the language does not turn to say this.
– Apparently, you are curious about what it is? Arakail, seeing Kang Woo’s gaze, laughed.
He easily turned his gaze towards the army rushing towards Kang Woo, Lilith and Pallok, and ripped one of the Suffering Squad demons from his neck pouch.
– I’ll show the Lord, – he said and smiled broadly.
Arakail grabbed an unknown pouch with his teeth and, pulling it towards himself, opened it, tilting it along the way. The bag contained black powder, which Arakail poured into his servant’s mouth.
– A-agrh!
As soon as the powder touched his lips, the servant groaned painfully. And then there was a cracking sound like breaking bones.
– Ahhh!
Arakail’s servant staggered and a black Magi poured from his body. It was different from the usual one and was mixed with something else.

– Ha, – Kang Woo chuckled.
He could figure out what kind of Magi they were without even using any abilities. This is because he has already encountered something like this.
– Is this the power of the God of Death?.
If Divinity is intended to saturate other forces, then the power of the God of Death existed to kill those who possess Divinity. More precisely, a being endowed with such power is capable of breaking through the protection created by Divinity and completely destroying it. Once Kang Woo has already tested a weapon imbued with the power of the God of Death.
“I created chains for Yong Joo from the horn of a Behemoth.”
Thanks to this weapon, Yeon Joo was able to inflict damage on Kang Woo even before she became his Incarnation.
“He could not make all the demons his Incarnation, so he gave them items containing the power of the God of Death.”
In this case, it’s easy to guess what kind of black powder it is. Kang Woo knew only one creature with such power.
– There must be nothing left of the horns of our poor Behemoth. No, there are so many demons that just horns would not be enough. How many times did you force him to recover?
The bags around the necks of the demons contained powder from the horns of Behemoth.
– Aamon surpasses himself.
He may well do something like that… When Kang Woo confronted the Behemoth at the RNO, he looked like he was already battered. There was no one in Hell who could compete with the king of the infernal beings besides Baal. Basically, it was speculated that Aamon could use the Behemoth.
“But I never thought that he would turn horns into powder and make them a weapon.”
No, in fact, when he used the Behemoth’s horn himself, he didn’t think the weapon would be that strong.
“Yes, and not only this.”
Looking at the servants Arakaila, we can say that they are not only endowed with the power of the God of Death, but also use a considerable number of Magi. The effect may be temporary, but in terms of power it was comparable to the Han Sol buff.
“Of course, such a sharp increase in strength cannot have no consequences. If they are lucky, they can go crazy, well, in the worst case, they just lean back.”
Behemoth Horn Powder is nothing but a drug, which first of all hits the mind.
– Do you know what will happen if you eat this? – Kang Woo asked calmly.
Although Arakail called this unit his own, it was still the royal army. Kang Woo’s Army
“But now it’s not like that.”
Looking around, Kang Woo still noticed a few familiar faces. Of course, he could not remain indifferent.
– Ha ha ha! Do you think I would use it without knowing the consequences?- asked Arakail with a wide smile on his lips and spread his arms to the sides. – But even if the body suffers and the soul burns, – he raised his head high, – should I not move forward?
Shoulders Arakaila trembled with laughter.
“You talked about this often.” His gaze sparkled, as if he were thinking about the past.
– Forward, Forward, Forward! – the madness became more and more. – Farther and farther! Higher than now! Ha ha ha!
Arakail shivered as if he had been electrocuted.
– Yes, Sir, you were right. Demons live by desire and greed complements them! – he crossed his arms with long sharp claws. – Didn’t you yourself want to gain new powers, no matter what the consequences would be?
Kang Woo pressed his lips together tightly. He remembered about the past, about what happened in Hell. No, you don’t have to go far – even now, at this very moment, the words spoken by Arakail describe him. Compared to the Ocean of Power, the Behemoth’s horns may not seem so dangerous.
– Ah! – Arakail trembled all over, he wanted to dance. – I just remembered our first meeting… – a smile froze on his lips. – I remember how Mamon’s body was burnt in flames, but you continued to devour him! I remember the madness with which you devoured his army!- his gaze clouded over. – Oh, how horrible it looked. None of the demons looked as intimidating as you.
Then the Lord was nothing but the embodiment of desire. It doesn’t matter if they cut off his hands, ripped open his stomach, cut his head in half – he continued to devour opponents and grow stronger. And the stronger he became, the more desire overwhelmed him. Anyone who dared to be called a Devourer became the Master’s prey. In fact, his nickname “Demon King” suited him well.
– However… – Arakail’s eyes lost the sparkle. – There is nothing left of that image in you. – He looked at Kang Woo with a now cold gaze. – Aamon said that you are on the side of humanity, protecting the Earth, – doubts were read in his tone.
– Well, for that I don’t care, but the fact that you are protecting someone…
It is unacceptable for the Demon King to behave like this and protect someone then. If he is a demon, then he must act rudely, decisively and not spare anyone.
– If you are no longer subject to desires, – in a look Arakaila got angry,
– then you no longer have the right to be considered king.
Kang Woo pressed his lips together tightly. He turned slightly and looked at all the demons present. They were once his servants, whom he tried his best to protect. He saw how they pointed weapons at him, and their gazes were filled with anger.
– Ha-ha, why are you just are you standing? Arakail laughed softly. – Well, yes, even you are unable to cope with the army, endowed with the power of the God of Death. Maybe in Hell you would have coped with this task, but now, having lost your desire, you have no choice but to look around stupidly, – Arakail laughed again. – Your time is up. Now everyone has forgotten about you.
He spoke straightforwardly. The king is forgotten, the king has fallen. Long live the new king.
– I see.
Kang Woo slowly began to walk and once again looked at Arakail with a cold stare.
– The Guardian of Fate made a mistake, – Arakail grinned.
He lowered his hands with sharp claws, cutting the body of the demon lying on the ground, then tore off his head and planted on his claws, like some kind of toy.
– He found out that we were going to use the powder from the horns of the Behemoth and rushed to you. How can a demon put devotion above desire? Don’t you think this is weird?
– Let him go.
– Desire not only… huh? What did you say?
– Let go, I said.
Kang Woo took action. Before Arakail could react, the head of the Guardian of Doom was in the hands of Kang Woo.
– Ah… – Arakail squeezed out displeased and stepped back.
After becoming the Incarnation of Baal, he gained such great power that
his abilities from the past were in no way comparable to those of today. But even so, he could not keep track of the Master’s actions.
Kang Woo, clasping the head of the Guardian of Doom, walked over to his body and sat down, attaching it back to his neck.
– Haha… – Doomguard’s laugh flashed through Kang Woo’s head.
“Nice guy.”
Character he was somewhat similar to Kim Tae Hyun, except that he had almost the same brutality as in Kang Woo.
– And yet, before I had time to lose my life… Sir, I am glad that I saw you…
Fool. If he hadn’t run to Kang Woo, he could have survived.
– Because there is something I have to pass on You…
What is this useless information. He suffered for such a little thing.
– If I only knew. I … I should have come earlier. Ha ha ha…
Putting the Doomguard’s head back in place, Kang Woo got to his feet.
– Arakail, – he quietly called out to him.
– Speak.
Arakail motioned the Suffering Force to prepare Behemoth Horn powder.
– I asked why you did this, – Kang Woo slowly looked up at him.
The guy’s pupils stretched out, and the iris became golden.
– Betrayal is expected. I’d be more surprised if you didn’t betray me for free power. You killed the Doomguard, but the demons have no friends, and, following your logic, his death is justified. And you know, Arakail, I don’t care about all this, but you can’t forget me. You all know that it was with me that you fought and gained the upper hand. No matter how much you want to gain strength, no matter how much time has passed, no matter how faded your memories become…
Behind Kang Woo’s back wings opened as if made of dark slime. Mouths appeared on the black surface, behind which were hidden sharp teeth.
– You cannot forget me. It is unacceptable.
