Chapter 202: Bamut Underground Prison (2)
[Editor — Angel is wondering if she could put an Angel’s corner to express her thoughts after every chapter.]
[Rynoh: I think I know someone in the higher ups…]
The Great Demonic Cult (천마신교) is one of Murim’s three most powerful factions, and it seeks only strength. It is on par with the Forces of Justice on the north and the Forces of Evil on the west. The Blade God Six Martial Clan uprising tipped Murim’s three-way balance, resulting in a four-way deadlock.Content Warning: This chapter may contain scenes that may be harmful or traumatizing to some audience.
A light was flowing through round marbles. Thanks to that, the darkness in the cave turned bright.
Marquis Irene, who was walking through the long cave, bit her tongue and looked at the people guarding her.
[930,000… 790,000]
Their power was too high for her to even try to tackle. Furthermore, these were just the minions.
Marquis level wasn’t something that could go against them, so this was a disastrous situation for her.
Originally, their clan was tall and beautiful. However, even the man with a strong power had wounds all over his body, and the left side of his head was blown off.
It didn’t seem like his condition was good.
‘He isn’t recovering?’
Demons have regenerative powers, so they can’t have scars on their bodies.
However, these two demons have many scars that make them look like humans wearing ragged clothes and not people of their clan.
From green skin to green eyes, everything was appalling.
“Stop staring, bitch. The King doesn’t like such things.”
One-armed demon with 790,000 power warned her. He was watching her every move. It wasn’t to escort her but because she had her chest out in the open.
‘You stop staring too.’
Even though she was a warrior, she was a woman. If someone continued to stare, she couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable.
Marquis Irene asked the demon,
“What about you? Why are you following me?”
They were calling someone Night King. As there were no guards, it meant that this was a lawless area.
She wondered who was the leader of these monsters.
‘What is that person’s ability?’
She wanted to know the strength, but strangely, she couldn’t read the numbers anymore. It was because of the ability she heard of.
She narrowed her eyes.
‘The fact that there isn’t just one ability….’
Here, Marquis Irene was sure of one thing. The person called Night King preyed on his people, and there is a high chance that he had many abilities.
Predation was the only way to have multiple abilities.
Tak!
“I told you to stop staring.”
As such, the demon with 790,000 power grabbed her wrist and warned her. However, contrary to the warning, his face was smiling as if he wanted to hold her.
“Let go!”
She shook off the hand. It was unpleasant just to be touched by such people.
“Where the hell are you taking me?”
She was convinced that there were no good intentions here because the one called Night King, who was walking ahead was treating her like a possession, grabbed her chest.
“High grade.”
That was what he said.
From her point of view, this was one trouble after another.
This felt like another threat. However, when he looked at the symbol of Grand Duke Kaliaf on her bottoms, he moved back.
‘He’s familiar with the Grand Duke?’
That was the part that gave her hope.
She hoped that the Night King had a good relationship with the Grand Duke or was afraid of him.
But the worst thing was…
‘What if they were enemies?’
If so, she would be torn apart.
A demon with 790,000 power spoke with a smile.
“You will soon be surprised.”
“?”
What did that mean?
She was thinking throughout the walk. As she was walking, her face turned thinner.
‘It’s heavy.’
Gravity wasn’t constant, and it kept getting stronger inside the dungeon. It was tough to breathe.
However, these prisoners who were beside her seemed fine.
‘Are they used to this?’
In that case, their strength was understandable.
Growing up in this horrible environment for a long time, one would have no choice but to evolve according to it.
Whisper!
And then came the noise. There were a lot of whispers from the prisoners around, and eventually, she understood what was happening when they reached the end.
‘Shit…’
Marquis Irene couldn’t keep her mouth shut.
About three hundred prisoners were sitting and talking. Never had she imagined that so many demons would be alive here. However, there was even more shocking than that.
‘No way.’
The figure wasn’t leaving her eye. She looked at them one by one; each had the power of Marquis level.
‘W-what is this place?’
Wheik!
As they looked at the Night King enter, the demons all rose and knelt with one knee.
“Night King!!!”
Marquis Irene trembled at that sight. Their voices didn’t matter. What terrified her was that so many monsters called him their King.
Shh!
As if accustomed, the Night King raised his hand and then passed.
“Woman!”
“Look at her age! Must be delicious!”
“Gulp.”
When they saw her half-naked, they were all interested. Marquis Irene was still having difficulty walking with her upper body out open for these savages to see.
‘N-Not here. I need to run.’
She thought in her head, but she couldn’t do anything.
The one-eyed demon with 930,000 power held her so she couldn’t walk. Well, he was doing even more than that. He was dragging her.
Pak!
Her toes would hit the stairs as the demons opened the path for them, going up to the highest point in the dungeon.
She looked at the ground, which had rags on it. Inside, the weird hut looked like a fortress.
‘W… what are they?’
When she saw two demons standing in front of the hut, she felt terrified, wondering if her eyes were mistaken.
[5.83 million… 6.23 million?]
How could such strong ones be here?
Surprisingly, they had fewer wounds than the other demons and were far more robust.
Pak!
They knelt with one knee in front of the Night King.
“You have arrived!”
“Night King!”
They got up and followed him inside after he raised his hand.
She was curious about this Night King who made sure that even those with Duke level power kneeled at him.
In the hut that she was dragged into, she saw the Night King sitting on a seat carved out of stone.
He had wrinkles that had the years of life as if he had been through a long time.
What scared her was his green eyes. Amidst the silence, he then spoke.
“What is your relationship with Grand Duke Kaliaf?”
It was a creepy and bizarre voice. She pondered how to respond wisely and finally said.
“I serve him….”
She answered very cautiously and looked at him with tensed eyes.
“I see. That grey hair… you must be Duke Bevman’s.”
“How do you know that?”
She was shocked at the words of the man who knew her identity. If he could figure out her identity quickly, then he had someone close to Grand Duke Kaliaf, or he was close to him.
“Who are—”
Pak!
“Ack!”
Someone kicked her shoulder. It was the demon with 930,000 power.
“Who told you to talk and ask questions as you please?”
Marquis Irene, who didn’t receive this kind of treatment from Grand Duke’s side, shouted in rage.
“You will regret this! I didn’t come here as a prisoner. There was an accident.”
“Accident?”
Night King was puzzled by it.
“What do you mean?”
“Grand Duke and pa… no, my father, Duke Bevman, will come to save me from this accident….”
She paused there. She wanted to threaten with some certainty, but their power was too strong.
Then she continued.
“If Grand Duke Kaliaf steps in, all of you could be in danger.”
The moment he heard that, the Night King laughed.
“Kuahahahahaha!”
He was laughing in a strange voice that sounded like something was screeching. After he stopped laughing, he said with light shining from his green eyes.
“Good.”
“W-what do you mean?”
“Well, I wanted to kill that bastard with my hands. Very good. This has to be Larisha’s blessing.”
“Larisha?”
She didn’t know the old name of Arisha. Night King screeched—-laughed at her.
“This little one doesn’t even know that.”
Night King motioned as if he was pulling her, and her body on the ground suddenly rose and moved to him.
She tried to kick and defend herself.
Pak!
However, Night King was quick to grab her ankle. Holding her by the ankle, he tore off the clothes left on her.
“Kuaaak!”
Her clothes were torn in the same way before, but now she was completely naked.
She wasn’t used to close combat; therefore, her physique wasn’t as muscular as the others’.
“Your body looks great.”
“Let go! You must really want to die!”
She shouted at him with rage. She never dreamed about such a humiliation.
“If the Grand Duke and papa know about this, they will turn you to ashes… kuak!”
He twirled her and grabbed her by the wrist.
“Right. It would be great if Kaliaf cares enough to come and save you, then I should treat you with the most sincerity.”
“Sincerity?”
“Let’s make you feel pleasure like never before.”
The Night King lowered his pants, and she screamed as she looked at the monstrous thing between his legs.
“D-Don’t do this!!”
“Kaliaf and Bevman will be pleased…. seeing you turn into a woman.”
‘!!!’
She looked terrified at it. Looking at her like that, Night King smiled and grabbed her by the waist, pulling her closer to him.
Her eyes widened, and she screamed in shock.
The demons in the hut were only watching them with fascination in their eyes.
It was then…
Grrrr!
Suddenly, the hut shook. To be precise, the floor shook; the whole place shook.
The subordinates didn’t even understand what was happening.
“What is this?”
Kwang!
And then a loud roar was heard from outside. The demons under the hurt were looking at each other.
“The fun needs to be pushed back.”
Pak!
Night King pushed her away and tossed her aside before going out. When he went out, the demons surrounded someone in a circle in the square below.
It looked like he had different clothes on. The man who landed was wearing a black suit, and he had a fair face. It was no other than Chun Yeowun.
“Who the hell is he?”
The demons mumbled at the sudden appearance of Chun Yeowun.
No matter how much they looked, they didn’t understand who this different being was.
Shh!
And then another one fell from above. The one who fell was wearing a red cloak and a golden crown. It was Grand Duke Kaliaf.
Looking at the hole in the ceiling, the Grand Duke spoke as if it was absurd.
“Is this how the path is made? Master?”
“Then, were you planning to wander through the caves?”
“Uh.”
Chun Yeowun casually answered. The demons couldn’t hide their shock at the conversation.
The vibration they felt just now was because this man had come down?
“What?”
“A hole in the cave?”
The dungeon of Bamut is known to be strong and sturdy. It was so strong that no one could burrow and escape.
Shh! Tak!
Then someone else fell in. It was a man with white hair and armor, Duke Bevman.
“Kuak!”
Duke Bevman bent his knee due to the sudden change of gravity. He couldn’t adapt to the sudden change inside.
Following Chun Yeowun and Grand Duke Kaliaf, he landed only to be shocked looking at the demons around.
“This?”
A cry echoed through the place.
“Papa!”
Hearing the voice, Duke Bevman automatically looked at the top. A naked woman was crawling on the floor; it was Marquis Irene.
“Irene.”
Seeing Duke Bevman come here, the Night King’s cheeks shook in excitement.
His green eyes looked at Grand Duke Kaliaf.
“You plunged to your hell, Kaliaf!”
