How To Survive As A Demon King

Chapter 66

Chapter 66

Irene looked around with confused eyes.

After going through the gate with a search party of 60, it was strange to be alone.

But she quickly regained her composure.

She never thought it would be easy.

Although the mage spoke as if it was nothing, it was still related to the Demon King.

Finding Seo Woojin was more urgent than worrying about other invisible knights.

“The corridor.”

Could it be a ruin?

Irene thought so.

She had never personally experienced exploring ruins, but she had heard stories.

Since this was a place that had been moved through the gate left by the Demon King, the chances of it being a ruin were high.

Irene raised her hand and tapped the wall and floor.

It felt quite solid because of the bricks.

“There seems to be no other way.”

In that case, she had no choice but to follow the path.

Irene began to move cautiously, keeping an eye on the front and back.

Step by step, only the sound of her footsteps echoed in the corridor.

How long had she been walking?

“Hmm?”

Irene stopped walking.

“This is...”

The surroundings changed.

With the blink of an eye, the brick corridor instantly turned into a marble one.

Startled by the sudden change in the environment, Irene tensed and held her sword.

Tick-

At that moment, a small sound came from behind.

Sensing it, Irene turned and swung her sword.

It was a sword strike that extended dangerously, but the power in it was certainly not light.

However,

Clang!

With a metallic sound, the sword was easily blocked.

“Calm down.”

The man who blocked the sword had a calm expression, as if nothing had happened.

“Baek Siwoo?”

The man who suddenly appeared from behind was indeed Baek Siwoo.

He was blocking Irene’s sword with the sword given to him by the empire and had a calm expression on his face.

“Can you lower your sword?”

At Baek Siwoo’s words, Irene nodded and relaxed her grip.

Her expression brightened.

Finding Baek Siwoo meant that there was a high chance that Seo Woojin was here.

Of course, she could only feel relieved.

“How did you get in here?”

Baek Siwoo also sheathed his sword and asked.

“Can you tell me what’s going on?”

However, Irene answered with a question instead of an answer.

This was because their situation was more important than how they got there.

Then Baek Siwoo nodded.

“The discovery of this ruin was a coincidence.”

He explained in detail from the process of discovering the ruin to what happened here, including the anomalies in space and time.

It was a story that was hard to believe, but at the same time, it couldn’t be dismissed lightly.

To Irene, Baek Siwoo seemed to be in a surprisingly exhausted state, almost unbelievable that he had only been missing for a few days.

Looking at him, it seemed like at least a month had passed.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t be in such an exhausted state.

After hearing the rough circumstances, Irene asked the most important question.

“Have you ever seen Mr. Seo Woojin?”

Baek Siwoo was also an important figure as he was the greatest force against the Demon King.

But from her point of view, Seo Woojin was more important than Baek Siwoo, who was just a stranger.

He was her colleague, comrade, and friend.

“...... Unfortunately, I haven’t seen him.”

Baek Siwoo’s face darkened.

In fact, it wasn’t only Seo Woojin that he hadn’t seen.

The knights following him and his friends were the same.

Or, to be more precise, they split up within 30 minutes of meeting.

They scattered as the room changed.

“It’s been 50 days since I last saw anyone.”

Irene remained silent at Baek Siwoo’s words.

There was a familiar face in front of him.

“Baek Siwoo?”

And Irene behind him.

Seeing them, Seo Woojin smiled happily and quickly stepped back.

“Watch out!”

Crack!

The ground Seo Woojin had just stepped on split open as if cut by scissors.

It was Rosie Ruby’s scythe-like front paw.

“Woojin!”

Irene called out Seo Woojin’s name.

Since the person they had been desperately searching for had appeared, they had no choice but to be happy.

Of course, Seo Woojin was in no condition to respond to her greeting.

“Greetings later! We have to take care of this first!”

With an urgent tone, the two quickly assessed the situation and took an attacking stance.

Kigik?

Rosie Ruby, who was about to continue the attack, stopped moving and tilted her head with a puzzled expression when she saw the two newcomers.

Among them, she couldn’t take her eyes off Baek Siwoo.

‘Did it recognize a strong guy?’

Seo Woojin noticed that Rosie Ruby’s actions were because of Baek Siwoo.

A Hero of SSS rank who has surpassed level 50.

There are still many shortcomings, but with that level of strength...

“Baek Siwoo!”

“Siwoo!”

Ludian, belatedly finding Baek Siwoo, shouted and pretended to recognize him.

At the same time, a feeling of relief filled his face.

If that guy has that kind of expression, he’s more than capable of handling it.

If it’s Ludian, a knight of the empire, he would know much more about Baek Siwoo than himself.

His relief means that Baek Siwoo is strong enough to face Rosie Ruby.

Seo Woojin stood next to Baek Siwoo and raised his sword.

“Do you roughly understand the situation?”

Baek Siwoo nodded in response to Seo Woojin’s words.

He wasn’t sure exactly, but it seemed like killing the spider-like thing in front of him would be enough.

“Good. Since I’m taking the initiative, wait for your chance and chop off its head.”

Currently, Rosie Ruby was focusing on Baek Siwoo, but when the battle started, she would undoubtedly be drawn to Seo Woojin.

Up until now, he was the one who tormented her the most.

It couldn’t ignore Seo Woojin who had left so many scars on its body.

“Understood.”

When Baek Siwoo replied, Seo Woojin slammed the ground.

“Stop struggling now!”

There was no mana left.

His stamina had been exhausted for a long time.

Nevertheless, Seo Woojin moved.

Faster and stronger than ever.

The sword filled with all his power sliced horizontally through Rosie Ruby’s head.

Kigikigik-!

It started moving again.

As if it was pathetic, it swung it’s front paw towards the sword.

Thinking that Seo Woojin would be blown back as before.

However...

‘This time it’s different, you bastard!’

He shouted inwardly and changed the trajectory of the sword.

From bottom to top.

With all his might, he bounced the guy’s front paw upward.

Momentarily overwhelmed by overload, he felt pain as if his wrist and shoulder were breaking.

But Seo Woojin didn’t stop.

Even if it was just to endure for now to create an opening for Baek Siwoo’s subsequent attack.

Eudddeuddeuk-!

Biting down hard enough for blood to flow, he lifted the sword.

Perhaps it was thanks to squeezing out every bit of strength, Rosie Ruby’s front paw couldn’t withstand Seo Woojin’s sword strength and bounced upward.

And Seo Woojin didn’t miss that opportunity.

“Now!”

In response to the short command, Baek Siwoo stepped forward as if he had been waiting.

Despite facing a formidable enemy, his expression remained remarkably calm.

He pointed his sword at Rosie Ruby and spoke.

“Thunderbolt.”

Lightning struck down.

Kwarrung-!
