The Devil and the Knight 4

Boom!

Permegon, who had been watching the battle, struck down his fist.

“…shit!”

It wasn’t what was originally planned.

Ghosts sent to Korea for testing purposes.

Originally, it was planned to be further processed and sent to Barnaul as a prototype.

“I… I…!”

But, contrary to my expectations, seeing the gargoyles falling to pieces left me with no choice.

It was rather a relief.

A desperate measure to destroy Germany’s armored forces.

The sand monster created from ghosts boasted the myth of undefeated status until now.

But…

“There’s a priest…? Even a divine explosion?”

Watching the sand monster being swept away by the flash, Permegon and the European headquarters chief painfully realized that their thoughts were gravely wrong.

dump.

Permegon fell to his knees.

It’s a whopping seven levels.

Hundreds of gargoyles that were able to be brought to this dimension after a series of victories in Europe.

I didn’t think it would be easy, but I didn’t think I would lose either.

Moreover, I didn’t know it would collapse so easily.

‘…So what happens now?’

No thoughts came to mind.

Since I came to Earth, I have never experienced defeat.

Permegon was completely ignorant of the price the loser would have to pay.

That was when.

“…!!”

The chief with a completely distorted expression was yelling at him.

‘Hurry…?’

“Quickly get rid of the gate hack!”

“Ah…!”

Only then did Permegon start to move in a panic.

Soon, Korea will rush into Europe through the installed gate portal.

At the prompt advice of the European headquarters chief, he hurriedly gave the ‘final’ order to the sand monster, but…

“Ah, no…!”

Noticing this, the Korean representative protected the gate hack.

It was the worst-case scenario.

Not only did the invasion fail, but it also paved the way for their counterattack.

“Ice…!”

The sight of the knights swarming through the portal was now terror itself to the demons.

‘Why on earth did you tell us to hit Korea…!’

I couldn’t bring myself to say it out loud, but the advice from the European headquarters was just annoying.

To begin with, Permegon was not a very bold person.

If it weren’t for the chief’s advice, I would have been satisfied with gradually conquering Eastern Europe.

They had attacked Korea, located on the other side of the globe, lured by talk of better quality vengeful spirits to be offered to Barnaul.

And…

“…Break it.”

That was when.

The European headquarters director added new advice to Permegon.

“…Yes?”

“Destroy the gate hack quickly!”

“But, Korea’s gate hack is now…!”

“Not there!”

Chuck!

What the European headquarters chief was pointing to was the gate nuke right before their eyes.

So, it was a gate hack installed in the Place de la Concorde in Paris.

“But that…!”

This is the Permegon that came to Earth through a competitive bidding process in Paris.

For them, the Place de la Concorde gate was a symbolic monument to the pioneering of the Earth.

“Permegon…”

To the hesitant Permegon, the chief of staff, whose expression had changed, explained in a soft voice.

His voice was lowered, but his speech was still rapid.

“Listen carefully. If things continue this way, it’s only a matter of time before they flood into Paris. But if you destroy the gate in the square now, the connection to the Seoul Gate will be relocated somewhere else.”

“Th-that word…?”

Permegon, who conquered various regions of Europe through wars of conquest.

Naturally, they had dozens of gates secured across Europe.

If the gate installed in Korea loses its connection to Paris, it will surely be reconnected to one of them.

That was the European headquarters’ gamble.

“We can’t stop them from coming to Europe now. But we must at least stop them from coming straight here to Paris. Even if we have to give up other provinces.”

The chief was already prepared for the damage.

The remaining strategy is to give up the less important areas.

If Paris were to fall here, not only would Permegon collapse immediately, but the headquarters director who had colluded with them would also have to bear a terrible record.

“…All right.”

As a Permegon, there was no other way.

His strengths were in architecture and mercenary skills rather than combat.

Unless you have confidence in beating the Korean representative, it would be best to gain some time.

“…Ugh!”

Puhahahaha!

With a sad expression, Permegon destroyed his own gate core.

A golden liquid flowed out from underneath.

Tens of thousands of magic stones entered his dimensional account, but his mood was utterly miserable.

It was like twisting the neck of the goose that laid the golden eggs.

Is that why?

Permegon asked the chief, unable to hide his emotions.

“What should I do now…? At best, this is just a waste of time…!”

There weren’t many strategies left.

There was a way to gather troops, predict the route they would take, and reinforce the defenses, but it didn’t seem like it would be easy to stop them armed with knights.

The chief of staff teased Permegon like usual.

“Things have become very urgent. We must get Barnaul’s attention as soon as possible.”

“Bar-Barnaul…”

What makes Barnaul interested in the Earth?

Now, that was the only way left for them.

It was a huge dimension that could be counted on one hand among the ten dimensions based on its name alone.

From Barnaul’s point of view, the Earth was a remote area, no different from a hole-in-the-wall shop…

“Finish Sisyphus quickly, then send a business proposal to Barnaul.”

They had been preparing a lot beforehand to become their subcontractors.

Tens of millions of spare parts stored throughout Europe.

Even the ‘spirit thresher’ Sisyphus, which is nearing the final stages of construction.

A mean offer to hand over all of this.

That alone was fine.

Just being able to work under Barnaul was a world-changing rise for Permegon.

Fooddeuk.

Permegon, who spread his wings silently and set out to complete Sisyphus.

Looking at him like that, Stanley, the European headquarters chief who was left alone, chewed his lips.

“Absolutely not. It’s like a dog just to be transferred to such a trashy neighborhood…”

He was a veteran manager at the Chamber of Commerce, no matter what anyone said.

Due to poor performance at the mid-level level where he had been staying, he was demoted to the district level.

What he also hoped for was a neat comeback.

For that, I would sell my soul to the devil.

“Now, the headquarters and subordinate organizations don’t even dream. So…”

Korea was Stanley’s ‘last puzzle.’

The lowest-profitable region on Earth.

Yet, it was the region that was growing the most rapidly.

If it was the vengeful spirits of the Korean awakened people like Aljjabaegi, Stanley was confident that he could drag Barnaul to Earth.

But…

“Now without Barnaul, I’m finished.”

The order is reversed.

Permegon was defeated miserably in Korea.

Now, rather than using Korea as bait, they had to drag Barnaul in to get rid of Korea.

“…It doesn’t matter anyway. As long as the result is the same, that’s fine.”

No matter how strong Korea was, it could not compare to Barnaul.

Although the Chamber of Commerce’s regulations may require some balancing, the warlocks will do whatever it takes to lick up every last bit of flesh left on Earth.

Watching Sisyphus slowly being completed, the chief slowly meditated.

I will definitely repay the humiliation I received now.


There was no delay.

Permegon, who was trying to remove the gate nuke installed in Bukhansan with his last effort.

I blocked that last attack and passed through the gate portal under the protection of Kim Sol and the knights.

“Will it be okay?”

This was my first time using the portal set up by the Chamber of Commerce, but I wasn’t too worried.

This is a gate hack that was given to humans as a kind of reward.

It makes no sense to say that it can’t be used now.

But, after completing all the preparations and crossing over to Europe through the Gate Portal…

“What is this?”

In fact, there was not a single demon in sight.

What you see before your eyes is a creepy-looking demon castle.

Next to it stood a magnificent medieval castle, seemingly straight out of a world history book.

And…

Chae-Ang!

Visor!

Kwaaaaang!

The sounds of battle echo across the castle.

I could roughly estimate the current situation by seeing the demons moving here and there in between.

“…They’re being attacked.”

I don’t know for sure, but the place I’m located in is the stronghold of Permegon.

Around it, human voices were gathering, accompanied by a huge shout.

“Whaaaaaaaaaa!”

“They’re here! Just a little more! Just a little more!”

There was no need to make an effort.

After only a few minutes, a horde of humans came surging into the castle.

Woof woof!

“We won! We won!”

“Now if we just take care of that damn gate hack…!”

“Wait a minute, but over there…”

They were soaked in sweat, blood, and dust, and they were moved to tears and snot…

“…Who are you?”

As I crossed the portal, our eyes met awkwardly.

.

.

.

I and the European Awakened people exchanged names while holding the magic stone.

Leading them was a red-haired woman named ‘Lydia,’ who had awakened her buff ability.

“…Prague?”

“Yes. This is Prague… and Permegon’s headquarters is in Paris.”

Prague.

I don’t know why, but out of nowhere, I found myself in a beautiful city in the Czech Republic.

‘Somehow the houses were so dirty and pretty…’

Suddenly, I ended up going on a trip to Europe that I had never even dreamed of…

The problem was that there were no demons left here anymore.

When I told her that I had also fought in Permegon and Korea and had come over, Lydia told me about the recent situation here.

“Yesterday, the demons’ forces suddenly decreased. We also took advantage of that gap to make a surprise attack…”

They were a group of awakened people who were roughly half Czech and half German.

Prague was taken away during the war with Permegon, but has just been miraculously recaptured.

It wasn’t hard to guess why they suddenly withdrew their troops.

‘It must have been because of the battle with Korea.’

Although Permegon had launched an all-out offensive, the battle ended in a Korean victory, making his efforts meaningless.

All that remains is to decapitate the Permegon representative.

But they must not have known that I was sent to Prague instead of Paris.

Lydia said.

“We will now begin our activities based here in Prague. It may be slow, but we will definitely save everyone.”

She told me that there were at least hundreds of concentration camps set up in Europe, where demons were holding people for unknown purposes.

She guessed that the demons wanted to use people as sacrifices, and she wasn’t wrong in her deduction, considering that their purpose was to create vengeful spirits.

However, the problem is…

“Now please step aside. I have to get rid of that damn gate…”

They’re trying to destroy the gate I came through.

But,

“That’s difficult.”

“What did you say?”

Lydia got angry and explained to me…

“If we leave it alone, more gargoyles will pop out from here! Even if just ten of them come out…!”

I couldn’t help it.

This gate was to be my ‘means of transportation’ in Europe from now on.

“I’ll get in. Then you can do whatever you want with it.”

Dozens of gates scattered across Europe.

They were all strongholds of Permegon.

There will be dozens or hundreds of demons lined up around each of these.

Although Prague was a wasteland, it was the perfect environment for slaying 1,000 demons.

‘I can’t miss this.’

The process was simple.

Pass through the portal and kill the demons to achieve the condition of killing 1,000 demons.

And by defeating the gate core of the portal you passed through, you can earn a lot of magic stones.

If we were to empty out all the money collected in Europe, we would naturally be able to wipe out the demons of Permegon.

‘Farming and catching demons.’

At the end, it was going to be given to me.

The Holy Spear that devoured a thousand demons, and the leveling up of the subspace.
