    Episode 93

    Wow!

    A large and magnificent oval-shaped Colosseum.

    Thunderous shouts were pouring towards Suho.

    Most of the stands were filled with slave demons from the workhouse.

    Apparently this execution ceremony was an entertainment to relieve the stress of slave demons suffering from hard labor.

    It was truly ironic that this method was so strangely human-like that Suho burst out laughing.

    Using a provocative show to create a target for public anger.

    Surprisingly this behavior has been practiced countless times by humans throughout history.

    […It wasn’t like this in the old days.]

    A voice sounded as if Esil was suppressing his anger.

    [The Colosseum was originally the exclusive property of demon nobles. It was used to measure each other’s strength by appointing a gladiator from each family. I guess it’s some kind of ranking war.]

    But now that all the demon nobles have disappeared it seems like it has degenerated into a hobby for someone who wants to imitate nobles.

    “A tyrant… what is his name? “I think everyone calls me a tyrant or a tyrant king.”

    [How dare you imitate a nobleman and call yourself a king! In the old days I couldn’t have imagined it…!]

    “Esil is such an old brat.”

    [What?!]

    Suho chuckled at Esil’s confused reaction and glanced around the audience.

    “Anyway among these many demons… there doesn’t seem to be a tyrant.”

    [You said earlier that the Nukira tyrant shows his face in the Colosseum only occasionally. It’s probably not worth watching because it’s your first game yet.]

    “I know.”

    At that moment the devil who was in charge of the execution ceremony shouted loudly at the audience.

    “ruler! Attention everyone! “The person who will execute our one-horned one is-!”

    Grumble!

    And the door on the other side of Suho opened.

    “A merciless one-armed slayer!”

    Wow!

    At that moment what appeared with a huge roar was a demon with enormous muscles.

    [One-armed Glow-blooded Demon]

    As the name suggests one arm had been cut off and the remaining forearm was extremely intimidating.

    Laughter erupted from the audience.

    “Fuhaha! Are you sending out a one-armed person from the first edition?”

    “If this continues it will end too quickly!”

    “A one-horned one and a one-armed one fighting!”

    “This will be worth seeing!”

    At first Suho chuckled when he realized what the word ‘concept’ the evil guards were mumbling about was.

    “You have quite a bit of planning ability right?”

    This is a thoroughly planned show.

    The contrast between the one-horned guardian and the one-armed devil was definitely entertaining.

    However given the clear difference in weight class and appearance between the two this was not very fair.

    I thought I knew why this show was called an ‘execution ceremony’.

    “I guess I’m looking really funny.”

    [It’s not something to look at lightly. That guy is a devil steeped in light blood poison.]

    Just as Esil said an ominous magical power was pulsating throughout the entire body of the Glow-Blooded Demon.

    Judging by the audience’s reaction it was clear that this was a guy who had been famous in this Colosseum for a long time.

    “Crrrp. Is it this guy this time? “It looks so delicious.”

    The Gwanghyeolma looked at the small and delicate Suho and licked his lips with meaningful eyes.

    Suho muttered.

    “I think I know how you are still alive after taking the photoblood poison.”

    [As much as the blood boiled and disappeared it must have been replenished by sucking the blood of other demons. That’s how much power-up it would have done again.]

    What Esil said was correct.

    However there was one fact that even Esil had overlooked.

    Photogenic poisoning is accompanied by extreme pain.

    The light-blooded demon who had endured the pain for a long time had now become a berserker who no longer felt pain.

    Wow!

    “Hehehe. Can you hear me? “Everyone is waiting for the scream to come out of your mouth.”

    The Glow-Blooded Demon looked up at the cheering audience with an even crueler smile.

    “But rejoice. They don’t want you to die quickly. I want this show to last as long as possible. And I…”

    licking.

    The guy approached Suho at a leisurely pace his snake-like tongue flailing.

    As those massive muscles got closer an overwhelming force overflowed.

    “I am such a gentle devil that I cannot fail the audience’s expectations. So be thankful. “I’m going to kill you as slowly as possible…”

    It was then.

    Okay.

    Suddenly the Gwanghyeolma’s vision flipped over and Suho’s figure disappeared from before his eyes.

    “…?”

    The Glow-blooded Demon who was momentarily confused tried to turn his head to find Guardian.

    But it was impossible.

    ‘This…’

    Something is strange.

    No words come out of my mouth.

    and.

    What is that again?

    Why in front of me…

    Is there a giant headless devil standing with his back turned?

    That very unfamiliar yet familiar body…

    ‘No way…’

    At that moment the Light Blood Demon realized.

    The fact that his head is now in Suho’s hands.

    That was his last memory.

    [The one-armed light-blooded demon has been defeated.]

    [‘Volkan’s Horn’ feasts on the devil’s soul.]

    Coo!

    The huge body of the Glorious Demon fell to the floor.

    With that a heavy silence suddenly came to the Colosseum which had been filled with shouts and ridicule.

    “….”

    In that suffocating atmosphere even the host was embarrassed and didn’t know what to do.

    Suho who had ripped the entire head of the Gwanghyeolma from his neck in an instant just stood tall with an indifferent expression.

    Suho turned his head and looked at the host.

    “Is there a next time?”

    [‘Title: Demon Slayer’ buff….]

    The host felt a moment of chills from that gaze.

    It was like meeting a natural enemy.

    * * *

    …Wow!

    A beat later a loud roar erupted as if the Colosseum was about to explode.

    “One horn! “One horn!”

    “hey! “Have you seen any demons moving just now?”

    “I saw it!”

    “gibberish! “How can you do something that even I didn’t see…!”

    “Kya! What’s next! Did you hear that you want to fight the next guy right now?”

    “It’s been a while since a brave devil appeared!”

    “okay! “It’s time for one-armed people to die too!”

    Reactions filled with admiration and astonishment poured out from the audience.

    But the most surprising thing among them all was the demonic guards who sent Su-ho away without any expectations.

    “Does this make sense?”

    “There are more than ten demons that One-Armed One has consumed so far…!”

    “What on earth did they do with the one-horned subject?”

    “Could it be that you have a constitution that increases your speed when you take light-blood poison?”

    “That’s not the problem now! “The game ended too quickly!”

    In fact from the perspective of the demon guards it did not matter which demon died during the execution ceremony.

    No matter who dies it just has to be provocative.

    However the problem was time.

    What the demonic guards want is to show the audience the cruel and gruesome images of the gladiators as slowly as possible during the execution ceremony.

    In this way he hoped that the tyrant king himself would stop by the Colosseum to relieve the stress of the slaves who were exhausted from labor and to feel the malicious energy emitted by the slaves.

    “This was too fast!”

    “It’s over before the Tyrant King even shows interest!”

    “If it was going to end this quickly it would have been a waste of time to bring the slaves here in the first place.”

    “If I had known this would happen I would have told the one-horned creature in advance to fight as slowly as possible.”

    In the end they turned their attention to the prison warden who had a serious expression on his face behind him.

    “What should I do Chief Guard?”

    “The one-horned one is telling you to send the next one? Even if you say that if it ends like this the atmosphere will be…”

    “Okay….”

    The warden was still gnashing his teeth glaring at Suho who was receiving cheers in the middle of the Colosseum.

    One-Armed was a bright-blooded horse that had been raised with great care but it was in vain and was no longer usable.

    But he soon thought of something and muttered with a sly smile.

    “no. It was better. It’s been a while since someone useful has appeared. “Let’s see how long that guy can last.”

    “yes? “No way!”

    “okay. Do whatever the one horn wants. “Let’s get someone else out before the audience’s enthusiasm cools down.”

    Recently the one-armed light-blooded demon became famous among slaves for a while but it was only a temporary fad.

    “It’s time for a new wind to blow. “Hehe.”

    When the warden’s order was given the demon guards hurriedly ran to the prison.

    Meanwhile the host suddenly came to his senses and shouted at the audience.

    “This is truly amazing! Thunderous cheers to the One-Horned One who killed the One-Armed One in one go! And especially today we will continue with the next execution ceremony!”

    Wow!

    At that moment the guards brought out another devil from the prison.

    “Hehe. One-armed man died? Too bad. “I was going to eat you.”

    The newly brought out demon was licking its mouth as if it was truly regretful.

    That sly attitude already gave the impression that he didn’t care about the demonic guards.

    “Oh what? That guy hasn’t eaten the one-armed man yet right? “Hey if I kill that little guy can I eat the one-armed guy too?”

    “Do whatever you want. Instead don’t let down your guard. “Play with it as slowly as possible.”

    “Hehe. “Whether it is or not?”

    Grumble!

    Just like that the door across from Suho opened and the second demon appeared.

    [Intermediate Lightblood Demon]

    “Intermediate level with a weak subject? “So the guy you just killed was low-ranking?”

    [This is not the time to consider grades. Since he has consumed light blood poison the amplification rate of his power varies depending on how much blood he has sucked.]

    Esil warned Suho in a tense tone.

    “It’s the amplification rate…”

    Suho’s eyes shined brightly as he pondered those words.

    “I mean it’s the same for me anyway.”

    [Item: Volkan’s Horn]

    Difficulty of acquisition: ??

    Type: Sword

    Attack Power +40

    A sword made from the horn of the greedy demon Volkan.

    Empowered by Volkan it deals more damage.

    -Effect ‘Desire for Destruction’: Increases physical damage by [83%].

    -Effect ‘Demon Predator’: As he feasts on the souls of demons Volkan’s power becomes stronger.

    [Predatory Demon Soul: 53]

    Confirmation has already been completed.

    Even though Volkan’s horn was ‘mounted’ on the head the item’s performance was still being applied.

    “Besides he just had 11 demon souls.”

    [It must be the souls of the demons that have been eaten. He would have swallowed every single drop of blood and bone fragment from the executed corpse.]

    “Good.”

    After all it seemed like it would be much more efficient than the labor camp.

    Suho’s eyes flashed and he looked up at the mid-level Light Blood Demon who had just appeared in front of him.

    And without hesitation he killed again.

    “Keuok….”

    Cooung.

    [You have defeated a mid-level light blood demon.]

    [Volkan’s horn feasts on the devil’s soul.]

    …?!

    The shouting stopped again and silence came.

    But this silence was much longer than the first.

    The demons were silently looking down at Suho with eyes filled with astonishment.

    “Now next.”

    The two executions were completed in less than a minute.

    This was an unprecedented event since execution ceremonies began in the Colosseum.

    However the audience’s reaction was already far from Suho’s interest.

    Suho turned his head and opened his mouth looking intently into the eyes of the demonic guards or rather the guard sitting behind them.

    “Or you can come out yourself.”

    “….”

    The devil warden’s evil eyes twinkled at that provocative gaze.
