Muyoung was also well aware of the confusion his subordinates were feeling.

But he just left them be. They wouldnt accept an excuse that wasnt an excuse either.

Most of all, Dantalian was a being that gave confusion to others.

Even if he disappeared, Muyoung still had retained his influence for having contact with Dantalian.

Thats why time was the only medicine. Muyoung decided to wait.

The presence of a demon god became stronger.

Muyoung was getting closer to the fissure where Gremory was at.

Anguish guided Muyoung and he was planning to get recognized through the fragments of the fissure at that place.

But the aura of a demon god was getting bigger the closer they got to the fissure.

Could it be Gremory?

It would be understandable if Gremory had come out of the fissure but that was difficult to happen.

Its not Gremory.

Muyoung shook his head.

In the first place Gremory didnt release an aura that was as unpleasent as that one.

And also, the place the aura was felt at wasnt at the fissure.

Form a squad of fast and stealthy people and check the surroundings.

They had to be stealthy from this point on.

He also had to take into account the probability of Gremory having perished.

If the aura that was released belonged to a demon god purged up Gremory and the opposition party then Muyoung needed to move all the more carefully.

But of course, Muyoung could feel him without having to look for him but that would be the same for the other party.

Thats why he sent a scouting team to search the surroundings from a point the other party couldnt find him out.

Even grasping aura was hard to do if the opponent was hiding it earnestly.

Gremory is caught inside the fissure but you cant enter it without permission from the other side.

But regardless of that there was another demon god nearby.

His objective was surely Gremory.

You may think that the demon god also belonged to the opposition party but would they release such an aura as hostile as this?

The one aiming for Gremory was surely from the supporting party.

They would exterminate all the races that held them back on massacring all races excluding the demon race.

After waiting for about half a day, Tacan and the scout party returned.

They had captured a demon.

His body was a mess and his face was also distorted but they could feel a strong magic power from him.

Damn it.

Azul saw that demon and cursed while frowning.

Tacan approached Muyoung and explained about the demon.

There are a lot of demons. It seems like there are easily more than one million of them. Fortunately, we caught the one that was called as the chief staff.

Muyoung asked.

Chief staff? Whose?

Lerajie! The Demon God of the Battlefield!

But the one that answered was Azul.

Azul was frowning with all he had. It was different from when he shuddered looking at Enroth. He was frowning but was also biting his teeth like he knew about his wickedness.

Lerajie, huh.

The demon god of the 14th seat, Lerajie.

He really was a demon god related to the battlefield.

And his destruction condition was really simple.

Defeat at war.

Muyoung was able to eliminate him if he got defeated in a battlefield.

But he had shone for a long time in the battlefield. The evidence supporting it was that he never lost once.

Im really warning you this time. Dont become an enemy of Lerajie. If you need to, run to the edge of the world. Then, you might be able to delay your death.

Azul spoke sincerely.

Muyoung stroke his chin.

Lerajie. He was certainly a strong demon god. He was one of the most outstanding ones at least at wars.

Muyoung had a lot less forces than him and cards he could utilize immediately.

In the first place, there were more than thirty demon kings under Lerajie. They must be weaker than Enroth but it was still hard to face them when 30 of them gathered at once.

An absolute difference in strength. Muyoung going over there was no different to moths flying towards fire.

The gazes he felt nearby prickled him.

Muyoung faced several hardships until now and had never lost until now.

And it seemed like he was believing that he could offer an outstanding play.

But he couldnt come with an answer even if he calculated the several variables.

I should have a deep conversation with that Staff commander.

If he wanted to grasp the enemy in more detail then he needed to interrogate the demon in front of him first.

A demon army of 2 million two hundred thousand.

30 demon kings working for him.

That meant that it was a huge alliance composed by 30 huge troops.

It was said that two of them were at the same level as Shar-Shazar.

The Staff commander said that Lerajie led his army and entered this land to execute Gremory himself, and he shouldnt even be lying because he answered that after having been turned into an undead.

When Muyoung listened to the story he guessed that Lerajie might know of Gremorys destruction condition.

Even I dont know of Gremorys condition.

Dantalian said that he knew the conditions for all the demon gods but that was a lie.

He was only able to grasp half of them. But of course, that alone was outstanding but that also meant that Muyoung had to obtain the information for the remaining half by himself.

Thats not enough.

But he had no high class information enough to give Lerajie defeat.

The remaining method was to somehow contact Gremory and join hands but now that everything in the fissure got blocked that may become a reckless bet.

Muyoung shook his head.

Thinking about it coldly, his probabilities to defeat Lerajie was 0.

Even if he allied with Gremory secretly, that probability didnt surpass 1%. And thats because he is Lerajie.

A demon god that was well acquaintanced with the battlefield. It was impossible to defeat him at war.

Was he going to charge towards a determined defeat?

He couldnt do that.

It was better to return, organize themselves and think about some other method.

We will retreat.

He made a decision.

He couldnt come with an answer in the current situation.

Muyoung was feeling extremely confused while returning.

A probability.

Having to defeat all the demon gods was the mission given to him but the probability for that to happen was 0.

He couldnt do anything to Lerajie right now so what was he going to do against the demon gods that had a stronger authority than him?

Did he have to charge towards a determined defeat?

That was a stupid thing to do.

He would return and reorganize themselves. Call in more forces and grow in strength.

But that wasnt enough. Reality was that they wouldnt be able to defeat Lerajie alone.

Another method. Another clever move

If he couldnt get recognition from Gremory then it would be hard to get help from the other demon gods of the opposition party.

In the first place, the reason he tried to get recognition from Gremory was to control the demon gods and create confusion.

But I cant do that?

He gritted his teeth and felt pressured.

How could he think of something as stupid as this?

How did he come with the certainty to do something impossible?

He couldnt understand it.

And didnt even try to understand it.

Because He wasnt able to become Muyoung.

Arent you too fast on giving up?

It was then.

A voice ringing in his head.

Muyoung frowned.

No, Dantalian wearing the mask of Muyoung frowned.

How? Your soul must have lost its way?

A contract was formed the moment Muyoung nodded. Dantalian got able to move Muyoungs body completely.

After that Dantalian started to imitate Muyoung. He tried to completely become Muyoung.

But he couldnt understand it. He couldnt finish his mission.

I have already done such a thing as hiding my soul.

The existence in his head sneered at him.

Dantalian tensed up.

Hide the soul?

Is that something possible?

On top of that, it was so stealthy that Dantalian couldnt notice even if it was in the same body.

Dantalian, I learned a lot of things thanks to you. I want to thank you.

The voice of the real Muyoung became louder.

Dantalian opened his eyes widely.

Dont tell me?

That he even figured his own destruction condition?

He hid stealthily and took all of his secrets!

There was nothing special. That your real name couldnt be found out. Not letting you accomplish the mission! You are fated to always be a fake.

The mission was the mission of the body that got taken control of. And Dantalian came to a conclusion that Muyoungs mission was impossible.

One of the conditions have already been opened the moment he came to that conclusion.

Now, Dantalians destruction condition would be completed the moment Muyoung called Dantalians real name,

Stop! You will need my help to destroy the other demon gods. Even if its impossible for you it is possible for me. If Im here you will be able to grasp everything from them and defeat them!

Dantalian, you can only imitate them. You coveted over my body but couldnt figure out everything about me.

He would simply retreat when Lerajie was in front of him. How foolish was that?

Even if it is impossible, he shouldnt just come to a conclusion before hand.

At least, Muyoung didnt like that method.

Even if Dantalian imitated Muyoung he couldnt become Muyoung as is. It was merely an imitation in the end. That was the reason others felt uncomfortable with him.

James, how did you, who was once a human, become a demon god?

Arghhhh!

Dantalian clenched his chest.

Something that couldnt happen was happening.

But Muyoung was also as surprised as him.

Muyoung had taken a peek at some fragments of Dantalians memories. He wasnt able to grasp everything. The reason for that was that the time Dantalian spent was far too extensive.

But Muyoung could know that Dantalian wasnt always a demon god.

He had been a human.

And a human on top of that.

You will regret it if you know the truth. You will lose your objective and go astray as there is no hope in Pandoras box!

He staggered.

Fwooosh!

His wings spread and started to burn.

That fire burned Dantalian, Muyoungs body.

The fire of purification. The power of Gabriel had activated. It was purifying the soul that was trying to degrade.

Dantalian screamed in pain.

Thenthe body got burnt black and Dantalians soul disappeared.

Thud.

Muyoung stood up once again after having taken over his body again. Smoke was surging up as if an accident occurred.

He should have died originally but Muyoung was an immortal. He didnt die by getting burned.

Muyoung looked at the sky.

It looked like he had moved quite quickly to try to lessen the losses instinctively. Thanks to that his army didnt suffer any damages.

But Muyoung was putting a complicated expression.

Even the aftertaste he gives is bad.

Muyoung had seen his memories but he couldnt know what was true or not in that. It meant that his memories were lacking from veracity.

Solomon, the destroyed world and perhaps the other demon gods too

Muyoung shook his head.

The results didnt change. The things he had to do were the same.

Muyoung regenerated his skin and looked far away. Dantalian had screamed that it was impossible but Muyoung had some chances.

Sky Lord.

It seemed like Dantalian didnt know that this body was loved by monsters.

Or he forgot what was love in by itself.
