Emperor of Steel Chapter 760 – After the End of Battle 1

Unlike Luke who took the lead, Arch Duke Gregory—who was fighting with Cheol-pae, the Demon King, was in a tight situation.

On the surface, they seemed to have an equal fight.

However, unlike Gregory, who held a serious expression, Cheol-pae still had his cool.

“Kuek! That orange aura is quite spectacular, and I haven’t yet done my best yet. Now, try and stop this attack of mine!”

Cheol-pae changed his attack method in an instant.

Gregory’s face changed when he sensed the energy change entirely from before.

“That…!”

“Demonic Crash, no, was this the Demon Slash? Whatever it was, this is said to be the strongest skill in Devildom.”

“Strongest skill in Devildom?”

The Demon Slash or Demon Crash, which was learned from Bargosa, the Arch Duke Demon, who sighed a contract with Arsene, was passed onto Cheol-pae.

What happened confused Gregory.

He was a swordsman who already reached the Sword Emperor, but when it came to Divine Power, he wasn’t on par with Reina or even Luke.

In other words, it was unlikely that he would be able to block that attack of Cheol-pae, who had the same strength as an Advanced demon.

Even then, he couldn’t just withdraw from the battle.

‘God, please give me strength.’

“Die!”

Cheol-pae rushed in while wielding his sword violently, and the terrifying Magi from his sword was inching closer to Gregory.

The moment when the evil man tried to slay Gregory, strong energy flew from his back.

“Get down!”

As Gregory bent down reflexively, blue thunderbolts flew towards Cheol-pae.

The terrifying blow, like the attack from the thunder god himself, smashed into Cheol-pae and sent him bouncing back.

“Kuak! That-that is the Trinity Martial arts!”

Although it was slightly different from the Ki energy used by King Hwang 300 years back, it was still clear that the attack was Trinity Martial arts.

A man entered the vision of Gregory after seeing Cheol-pae vomit black blood.

He was the proud Hwang Bo-sung, the commander of Symphonia Guard Knights.

With calm eyes, Hwang Bo-sung spoke to Gregory.

“Sire, Arch Duke, he looks like a troublesome opponent, I’ll join you.”

“Thank you.”

Unlike Gregory, who seemed grateful, Cheol-pae seemed in rage.

“F*ck it! The descendant of King Hwang has appeared!”

Before his death, Cheol-pae lost in the battle only once in Kang Ho.

He thought that he would never find a suitable opponent, but was beaten by Hwang Bo-woong, the head of the Hwang Bo clan during that time, and it seemed like the clan’s luck.

After how bad he was beaten, he moved away from Kang Ho, all due to the trauma of the loss and carried it to his death.

“I will avenge for the humiliation I faced because of him by killing you!”

Cheol-pae, who yelled rushed to Hwang Bo-sung.

The Demon King, and the strongest person when it came to controlling Magi, collided with the Trinity Martial arts wielder, the skill developed by the Hwang Bo clan.

Kwang! Kwang!

Pung!

A terrifying air wave spread around the area, with the ground and buildings getting smashed.

And when Arch Duke Gregory joined in, the battle leaned to one side.

No matter how strong Cheol-pae was when compared to the other Death Knight, it wasn’t possible to overcome the combination of the Sword Emperor Gregory and Fist Sage Hwang Bo-sung.

Eventually, Cheol-pae gave a gap and Gregory’s sword cut his thigh.

“Ugh, you…!”

“Hwang Bo-sung, it is now!”

When Gregory, whose sword against Cheol-pae moved away, Hwang Bo-sung, who raised his Ki to the limit, used the Trinity Martial punch again.

Ki, which was increased by more than 10 times, flew for Cheol-pae.

“Kuk! This can’t be…!”

Bang-!

The angry cry of Cheol-pae wasn’t completed by the time he got hit. With a roaring sound, the punch hit him.

The warriors, who received the name of the Demon King, were eventually defeated by a Northern knight who served God and a Southern warrior who developed the strongest skill in Martial arts.

“Luke de Rakan! I will never dieeee!”

Slash!

The golden trajectory stretched into the sky.

A huge golden sword, shining in the night sky, took away the darkness.

Arsene’s ugly body got pierced, and his mouth was wide open—seeing his body crumble.

“Kuek, I lost again. However, remem…ber this! I am immortal!”

With those words, Arsene was completely gone.

“Huh, immortal? Then I will cut you a hundred or another thousand times till you die!”

Luke’s nose flared.

But he knew that it wasn’t the end.

Arsene was a Lich in the first place, which meant he couldn’t be destroyed unless his Life Vessel containing his soul had to be destroyed.

The problem was, the whereabouts of the Life Vessel…

‘But I can guess one place. Something like Crete, where Belfair recently went to.’

According to Belfair’s words, there was an Advanced Demon, the Arch Duke Bargosa on the island.

Luke thought that Arsene’s base was over there, but he hadn’t ruled out the possibility that the Life Vessel was hidden in there.

‘No, if an Advanced Demon of the Devildom is guarding it, it has to be holding the Life Vessel!’

He wanted to go over there right away, but he had to finish the battles which were happening in front of his eyes.

Even though Arsene disappeared, the battle was still going on.

The Undead of Arsene was still managing to inflict damage on the fairies and Bless.

“Arsene, he made this undead which doesn’t fall!”

He couldn’t help but admit that Arsene’s plan of deceiving people with thousands of Undead and using his special undead to defeat the nations was amazing.

Taking a moment for himself, Luke unveiled over a hundred Holy Bullets and poured them onto the Lich in the air and the Death Knights on the ground.

Swoosh! Swwooosssshhh!

It was as if a shower of light was pouring out of the night sky.

The Holy Bullet, amplified by the Avenger’s core engine, was so shocking that it made the lower Undead unable to fight anymore.

And, just a little while ago, the Undead, which had been driving the humans and fairies to a corner, staggered.

It was a great opportunity for the wizards and the knights to hit them.

And not missing the gap, they attacked and defeated the undead.

Luke glanced at it and unfolded the Holy Bullet once again.

“But, where is Karen?”

At first, Luke hated the idea of Karen participating in the battle.

Even if she was a great wizard in a different time, she was a young daughter to him.

However, he was in a situation where he needed strong people, so he agreed to have her.

“Karen, promise me that you won’t do anything risky.”

Just before the battle, Reina made Karen promise to it.

Karen agreed to it, but Luke knew that it was difficult to keep such a promise.

Battles were dangerous even in the rear end of troops, and with Karen’s skill, she was bound to be in the lead.

“Tch! It isn’t easy to find Karen with all these energies mixed up!”

Luke began to turn nervous.

Various kinds of wizards in the vast area were using their magic, and the knights were using their aura, and the Undead were releasing Magi, it made it tough to search for her.

However, Luke’s eyes flashed, and looked for Karen’s Aether.

And finally, he was able to find Karen.

“There she is! But that Lich?”

The Lich which Karen was dealing with had a huge Magi monster behind him.

It looked like the monster Hydra from ancient mythology, and the abilities too seemed the same.

The nine heads were constantly regenerating even after being hit by Karen’s Holy Bullet or any other Divine power attacks.

“Fire Explosion!”

“Receive the fierce flames!”

Karen alone couldn’t deal with it, so Erwin and Zegal Soha were also helping her out.

However, their magic or zen only inflicted minor wounds and not any tilting changes.

Luke’s heart clenched at the sight of his daughter struggling.

“Those rotten bones dare to do that!”

Luke, moved at the speed of lightning and struck Goebel’s monster with Avenger’s giant sword.

Kiaikkk-!

The monster which got hit suddenly in wait screamed desperately.

Not just Goebel, but even Karen and her party were shocked at the sudden attack.

“Who are you?!”

“Dad?”

“Majesty!”

“Ahh, we live now.”

Erwin and Zegal Soha smiled with relief.

It was because even with Karen and their skills, defeating the monster of Goebel seemed impossible.

“Stay back, Karen. Dad will get rid of this rotten one.”

“No. I can get rid of them, stay out of it dad.”

Karen immediately rejected Luke’s offer to help.

It was meaningless, yet, she was one of the last hope of the ruined world, the only one to stand against the Lich King.

However, she was struggling with the monster created by the Advanced Lich and it was excruciating.

‘Moreover, I know his weakness!’

She was tired of fighting Goebel, but she had managed to get some results.

She found out the identity and weakness of the monster, which resembled the Hydra.

“He is my enemy, so I’ll defeat him.”

“You promised something to your mother, didn’t you? Don’t break that and step back.”

“This isn’t that, he is not a dangerous enemy!”

“Do you even listen to yourself?”

While the two were talking, the wound on the monster healed, and the destroyed parts were restored to the original state.

As Luke and Karen kept arguing with each other, Goebel yelled.

“How dare you! Are you ignoring me after knowing my identity?!”

When Goebel yelled, Luke looked at him.

“Who are you? Arsene’s henchman.”

“What?! How dare you call a Lord with such a derogatory word! Your eyes which are stuck in the steel doll seem to be useless!”

‘It seems like he doesn’t know that Arsene was defeated in my hands.’

It seemed like the soul of the master and his henchmen weren’t connected.

Luke, who thought, used the gold aura and used the sword.

It seemed to have power, but then it was just a normal sword.

Erwin and Zegal Soha shook their heads as Luke went in with a normal attack.

However, Karen and Goebel, who saw the tip of the Avenger’s sword, were in a daze.

“Uhh?”

“Hiik! N-no! Black Magic Stone regneratio…”

Luke and Karen both discovered the weakness.

The core of the demon, the Black Magic Stone.

The monster which resembled the Hydra was modified by black magic, but the body basis was a slime.

So, if the center of it wasn’t destroyed, it could regenerate constantly.

And the monster, whose core got split by Luke’s sword—collapsed turning all slimy.

“Ahh! My masterpiece, the Dark Hydra!”

When the work, which he thought would never get destroyed, was down in a mess, Goebel couldn’t recover from the shock.

He wasn’t even given the time to think of something, Karen moved ahead and launched a Divine attack.

“Holy Cross!”

“Kuakk!”

Karen pulled out the sword which was in her staff and moved it in the direction of a cross. Goebel’s body got divided into four pieces and then shattered into ashes.

Even the Lich Goebel couldn’t hold the Gold aura which was used against him.

“Good work, my daughter.”

“Kuak, I could have done it myself…!”

Luke smiled as he looked at the pouting Karen and left her right away.

There were still several enemies who had to be defeated and allies he had to help.
