    Episode 95

    Shwaaaagh!

    Countless bloodstones clump together in the air and seep into the horn of the one-horned devil guardian.

    That scene was truly shocking and terrifying to the demons who saw it.

    “This… is ridiculous.”

    “I guess only demon nobles can make bloodstone?”

    Even the demon guards were looking at Suho with astonishment.

    As they said the bloodstone was a blood power given only to demon nobles.

    The noble way of eating?

    What was more important than anything else was that the bloodstone was the basis on which the nobles were able to pass down their power to their successors and maintain the power of their families from generation to generation.

    Because the bloodstone was the power that allowed the most efficient absorption and use of the devil’s power.

    So aren’t they continuing their research to create bloodstone?

    For that purpose things like light blood poison and star dust were being developed but all of them were ultimately aimed at imitating blood stone which was the exclusive property of nobles.

    ‘Even though I’ve recently been able to imitate bloodstone quite closely…’

    So I was even more confident.

    The fact that what that one-horned demon created is real bloodstone.

    But does that make sense?

    “I guess all the demon nobles would have already been wiped out in the War of Monarchs?”

    “Even the Radir family that was still alive was destroyed!”

    “Then what on earth is that guy?!”

    Meanwhile Suho was overwhelmingly hunting down the opposing demon.

    A title of demon slayer that inflates all stats by 40%.

    And Volkan’s horn which devoured the devil’s soul.

    As if that wasn’t enough they were now fighting by constantly taking away the opposing demon’s power in real time with Esil’s ability so the synergy was beyond imagination.

    [Kihaha! You’re really cool Solord! You are truly the devil’s natural enemy!]

    [Master! I am so proud of the fact that I am the first knight of the Master!]

    Ber and Quay are passionately cheering for Suho in the shadows.

    In fact if we took out the shadow soldiers here we could overpower the opponent faster but what was important now was not the outcome of the battle.

    Suho’s goal is to bring down the tyrant king.

    In order to bring out that coward I had to get his attention as ‘diabolically’ as possible.

    bang!

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

    [Volkan’s horn devoured the devil’s soul.]

    The battle was over but no one was interested in the outcome.

    “Are you really a noble?”

    “So what happens to us now?”

    All the demons in the audience could only watch Suho’s every move with dumbfounded expressions unable to do anything.

    The person who stepped forward in that suffocating atmosphere was the master of ceremonies.

    “…One-Horned Victory!”

    At the same time the demon guards ground their teeth.

    “That can’t be possible.”

    “All the nobles are dead.”

    Above all the devil guards were those who had seen Suho right next to him.

    They were not so dull that they did not recognize a demon noble even when they were right in front of them.

    “Then what is that guy?”

    “What happened?”

    The eyes of the demon guards suddenly turned to the guard behind them.

    The warden was glaring at Su-ho who was standing in the middle of the Colosseum with an extremely cold gaze.

    “Tsk. “How can a guy like that be a nobleman?”

    If One-Horned was a demon noble in the first place there was no reason for him to be easily captured by them and go to the execution ceremony.

    ‘There is something.’

    What is that?

    ‘I don’t know what that is…’

    One thing was clear.

    “We have to get rid of that sinister guy.”

    The warden’s eyes flashed and he gave a command to the guards.

    “Get the Minotaur ready!”

    “…!”

    At those words the demon guards’ eyes widened.

    “Are you sure you want to kill the one-horned one right away?”

    “He might be a demon noble….”

    “What if you are a nobleman? Just kill me and that’s it!”

    “…!”

    The demon guards were shocked by the warden’s remarks.

    This is because daring to point a weapon at a noble was unimaginable to ordinary demons.

    “We are no longer the devil world we used to be! What if that one-horned person is a nobleman? Should I run out and kneel in front of him right now?”

    A ghost burst out of the guard’s eyes.

    “Don’t forget! We are already descendants of the tyrant king! That guy is nothing more than an execution-style prisoner! If he continues to survive we can follow the rules and send out a stronger opponent! Prepare the demon beasts immediately!”

    “Oh I understand!”

    The guards rushed out at the warden’s displeased command.

    * * *

    The execution ceremony was paused for a moment.

    When the host announced that the next one-horned opponent would be the magic beasts used in the workhouse the audience began to shake with confusion.

    “This is crazy! “Minotaur?”

    “Is there a precedent for releasing demonic beasts so quickly during an execution ceremony?”

    “Aren’t the guards crazy? “Is it okay to treat a demon who may be a demon noble like this?”

    Even the scary guards who normally wield whips were given the freedom to jeer at the moment the slaves were sitting in the Colosseum.

    And at the same time the fact that Su-ho might be a demon noble was a huge stimulus to them.

    The execution ceremony of a demon noble!

    I can’t believe I got to see such a forbidden profane act!

    And this noisy atmosphere was exactly what the warden wanted.

    ‘Yes sometimes you have to release the bullshit like this so the slaves don’t revolt. As expected the tyrant king’s ruling strategy is perfect.’

    No matter how powerful the devil guards were if the slaves gathered in the Colosseum decided to attack them all at once it would only take a moment for this seemingly solid hierarchical relationship to be overturned.

    Because demons who did not have the authority of nobles had a relationship where they fed each other anyway.

    Even light-blooded poison is widely used in the demon world these days so it is common for lower-ranking demons to suddenly run wild and eat demons stronger than themselves to become stronger.

    ‘So what we need is this execution ceremony.’

    It would be great if the one-horned demon noble or whatever could elicit this kind of excitement from the slave demons.

    The more cruelly the demons that stand out among the slaves are executed as cruelly as possible the more the slaves will be consumed by the fear that they could end up like that at any time.

    ‘If he’s strong just send out a stronger opponent!’

    Since he had already confirmed Suho’s fighting style the warden decided that it would be appropriate to send out the Minotaur.

    “The one-horned one fights based on its agility and speed. “In times like this we need to send out someone with a lot of determination so we can fight for a long time.”

    “As expected you are the head jailer.”

    “But it wouldn’t be fun if it wasn’t fair enough. “Take the one-horned dog and go to the weapons room.”

    “Ohh. also…!”

    The demon guards smiled sinisterly at the warden’s command.

    And while the Minotaur was being prepared the demon guards dragged Su-ho to the weapons room.

    “Choose the weapon you want.”

    “….”

    Suho looked wordlessly at the various weapons that appeared in front of him.

    The weapons room was filled with all kinds of vicious weapons including swords hammers axes and gauntlets.

    Of course if Suho needed a weapon he could just take it out of his inventory right now.

    but.

    ‘It’s rude to refuse when you say it’s given for free.’

    Suho smiled strangely and slowly began to look through the weapons.

    Very slowly.

    “what? Why is it taking so long?”

    “Is it difficult to choose such good weapons since it’s my first time seeing them?”

    As Su-ho was late the demon guards began to look frustrated.

    However I did not urge him or force him to give me any weapon.

    “Oh yeah. “It’s nice to see such caution.”

    “If it is difficult to choose you can choose several. You only have one horn so it’s only fair if you have more weapons. “Hehe.”

    The demonic guards continued to taunt behind Suho who was fiddling with his weapons in silence.

    “But I’m so tired of waiting. “We will be outside so please come out when you have chosen.”

    After the demonic guards left the warehouse giggling.

    Suho who was left alone in the weapons room narrowed his eyebrows.

    “These weapons here seem to be made of a similar material to the iron bars I was imprisoned in?”

    [You saw it right. These are all weapons made by smelting hell iron.]

    Esil was slightly impressed by Suho’s keen insight.

    As the saying goes most of the weapons here were made from ore mined at the labor site.

    [Hell iron is not only hard but also has the effect of amplifying magical power so it is primarily used to make weapons.]

    Suho smiled and said.

    “But all the weapons here look bad?”

    [No matter how much I look there is no such thing as a good weapon.]

    Ber gritted his teeth and muttered.

    The weapons here were all rusty and without proper blades perhaps because they had not been maintained properly.

    [I guess it just has to be solid in the first place.]

    Suho nodded at Esil’s words.

    Just by looking at these weapons it was clear what their purpose was.

    [They want you to struggle for as long as possible and then die.]

    I can already picture the audience giggling as they watch the comical clown struggling and fighting with a weapon that is just hard and has all its blades missing.

    “But where is it free?”

    Suho smiled and looked at the weapons.

    Miscellaneous items with poor attack power.

    However the number was so large that it would certainly take a long time to look at each one.

    So let’s take care of everything for now.

    “Gray come out for a moment.”

    Shwaaaagh.

    A small wolf cub appeared from Suho’s shadow.

    “Growl!”

    As soon as Gray appeared he looked around with his sinister eyes.

    Just because he had leveled up a bit these days he was ready to rush in and bite off the enemy’s neck.

    however.

    “What are you doing? “Pick up everything you see.”

    “Heh?”

    Gray tilted his head.

    Like a petty thief his master was stuffing all the weapons he could get his hands on into his inventory.

    No they were selling it straight to the store window without going through the inventory in the first place.

    Squeak! Squeak!

    “This is 130 gold? Is this 100 gold? Still it’s a mountain full of dust.”

    “Kuaang?”

    Gray was confused but quickly followed Suho opening his small mouth and biting down on the weapons.

    Tiring! Tiring!

    [‘Item: Hell Iron Long Sword’ found. Would you like to acquire it?]

    [‘Item: Hell Iron Axe’ found. Would you like to acquire it?]

    “Yes you are good. Accept all. “Everything for sale.”

    The pet system allows you to acquire items from a distance through Gray.

    Thanks to Ver and Quay’s participation Suho was able to completely clean up the weapons room full of weapons and smiled with satisfaction.

    “Gold Bee did it right this time.”

    [Now wait a minute. What are you really going to do if you get caught doing this?]

    Esil was embarrassed and didn’t know what to do as he watched Suho leave.

    But Suho also had thoughts.

    “That was then. Anyway if I don’t take care of it now aren’t you going to show up in front of me later in the hands of demons?”

    [but.]

    There was no way I would get along well with demons in the future anyway so it was better to make sure to reduce the enemy’s power when possible.

    Moreover the demon guards who would discover this place first were already poisoned by the light blood poison so if they found out later and got angry they would only hasten their fate.

    When Su-ho who had handled everything so perfectly(?) finally came out of the weapons room the demon guards frowned.

    “How can that be all that matters?”

    “You pretended to be cautious all by yourself but now you have gauntlets and two swords? Why are you so simple?”

    “Oh my. If this continues I’ll die soon. “I lost the bet.”

    “You know that it’s a violation to let go now right?”

    The demon guards looked at each other and chuckled.

    Despite that reaction Suho just shrugged his shoulders and walked toward the arena with strides.

    “What’s so urgent? “Do you want to die that quickly?”

    Esil muttered as the demon guards giggled behind Suho.

    [hey. Are you doing this because you’re afraid of getting caught?]

    “….”

    Suho walked quickly without saying a word.
