Side Story Chapter 106 - Demon King of Pandemonium (4)

“ARRRRRGGGGHHHHH!!!”

Uncontrollable rage filled Oh Kang-Woo’s head. The humiliation and shame Oh Hyun-Seong suffered in the past flowed into him through Midir.

“I DON’T GIVE A FUUUUUUUUUUUUCK—!!!”

Kang-Woo was also violated by a Succubus— no,

violated

wouldn’t be the word he would use. He had no choice but to become one with her so that he could use the forces she led. And yes, it was when she was in her true form.

“AT LEAST YOU DIDN’T HAVE TO FUCK TENTACLES, MOTHERFUCKERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!” Kang-Woo screamed.

Hyun-Seong could have found it humiliating and shameful that he needed to provide Succubi with his life force to survive, but at least those Succubi possessed the beauty and body filled with every man’s hopes and dreams. In comparison to that, Kang-Woo was...

“WRYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!” Kang-Woo screeched madly as he pulled on his hair and shed tears. “I-I thought of you as my friend!!!”

He couldn’t believe the betrayal. The friend he depended on, who he thought was the only one in the world who could understand his pain and sorrow, was nothing but a filthy hypocrite.

“HOW COULD YOU BETRAY ME LIKE THIS—?!!”

The tears flowing down Kang-Woo’s cheeks gathered on the tip of his chin and fell to the ground.

“Kurgh... What in the...”

Hyun-Seong stood up as he swayed after getting blown away by Kang-Woo’s punch and stared at him in disbelief.

“Haaa, haaa, haaa,” Kang-Woo panted heavily. “You... tricked me.”

“I-I tricked you?”

“YOU SAID YOU SUFFERED!!! YOU SAID YOU WERE IN DESPAIR!!! SO WHY AM I JEALOUS OF YOU, MOTHERRUCKEEEEEEEEER?!!”

Kang-Woo raised his right arm, not able to take it any longer.

Fwoosh!

The Flames of Voracity blazed around his fist.

‘I have no choice... but to kill him. It’s the only way to relieve this frustration.’

Kang-Woo couldn’t leave him be after finding out the one whom he thought was the same as him was a filthy hypocrite all along.

‘And...’

It was not just the fact that Hyun-Seong got to fuck beautiful Succubi. Not only was he guaranteed his safety at the price of his body, but he was also fed kimchi stew made with Leuconostoc.

“A-Aaaahh.”

Despite living the life of dreams, Hyun-Seong dared to insult kimchi stew, calling it pig shit.

“Yeah, come to think of it... you burned a kimchi habitat, didn’t you...?”

Since Leuconostoc tasted like perfectly ripe kimchi, it was no exaggeration to call it kimchi habitats.

“A-Aaaahh.”

The fire of rage was so hot that it felt like Kang-Woo’s brain was melting. An unstoppable impulse spread throughout his body.

“YOU, YOU, YOU, YOU, YOU, YOOOOOOOOOOOOUUU!!!” Kang-Woo stomped his foot with his eyes rolled backward. A wave of envy, frustration, and jealousy stormed inside him. “HOW DARE YOU CALL KIMCHI STEW PIGSHIT—?!!”

He did not think everyone should love kimchi stew because it was his favorite food. Everyone had their preferences and it was not a dish one would normally have if they were not Korean. However...

“YOU OF ALL PEOPLE SHOULD NEVER SAY THAT KINDA SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT—!!!”

Kang-Woo drank his own urine and Hellhound poop just to live one more day but someone who fell into Hell just like him, and a Korean at that, was calling kimchi stew pigshit. It was unforgivable.

BOOM—!

A wave pulsed from the black swamp. Kang-Woo charged at breakneck speed and swung his fist at the swaying Hyun-Seong.

“Kurgh! Wh-What?!”

Hyun-Seonng quickly raised his arms to block.

Wham—!!!

“

Cough!

”

Kang-Woo’s fist smashed into Hyun-Seong’s guard. The immense impact shook Hyun-Seong.

‘Impossible...!’

The demonic energy from Kang-Woo was on another level compared to what he had shown when he knocked the Succubi away earlier. Hyun-Seong had never felt such colossal demonic energy in his ten millennia in Pandemonium.

Bang—!!

Kang-Woo’s fist covered in the Flames of Voracity smashed into Hyun-Seong’s guard again. He was blown back from the impact on par with a battering ram along with intense heat.

“PLEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASE!!!”

Kang-Woo jumped in the air faster than Hyun-Seong being blown backward.

“IF YOU’RE KOREAN, LOVE KIMCHI STEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWW!!!”

Bash—!

Kang-Woo spun in the air and smashed his heel into Hyun-Seong, sending him to the ground and forming a massive crater in the black swamp.

“KYAAAAAAAAHHH!!”

“M-MY KING—!!!”

The two Succubi screamed as they watched Hyun-Seong being beaten up. They quickly tried to sprout their wings to fly to him but red chains bound them before they could.

“You’ll get hurt if you get in the way, ladies,” said Cha Yeon-Joo.

“Wh-Who the hell are you?”

“Let us go!!”

The two Succubi glared at Yeon-Joo fiercely. Yeon-Joo ignored them and stared at Kang-Woo screeching as he beat up the Demon King of Pandemonium.

“Sheesh. He’s going crazy again.”

She wondered if things would be resolved peacefully this time but like always, there was no chance. She sighed and turned back to the two Succubi.

“Don’t fuck around and just stay here.”

“Who do you think we are?!”

“We are the mistresses whom the Demon King loves the most among the Succubi!”

The Succubi shouted as they tried to break free from the chains. Unlike their powerful tone, they were too weak to break the chains. Like all Succubi, their combat prowess was barely worth anything.

Not only that but Yeon-Joo was the incarnation of Voracity; she was among the top five strongest on Earth.

“Hmm, The Demon King’s mistresses, huh?” Yeon-Joo snickered and proudly puffed out her chest as she giggled. “I’m an official wife, not some mistress.”

Just then, a chilling voice sounded from behind her.

“Yeon-Joo...?”

“Eek!” Yeon-Joo flinched and turned around.

Han Seol-Ah was staring at her with a gentle smile.

“You shouldn’t forget I’m the first wife though, okay?”

“Uhh... yeah.”

Yeon-Joo trembled slightly and nodded furiously.

Seol-Ah smiled. “Hoho. I’m just kidding. There’s no order among the three of us. We’re all Kang-Woo’s wives.”

The chilling aura she was emitting melted away like snow.

“H-Huh? Y-Yeah, of course.” Yeon-Joo turned back to the Succubi in confusion and said firmly, “Anyway, stay the hell put until the battle ends.”

“Let go of us this instant!!”

“Heh, why don’t you get out on your own?”

“Urgh!! You flat-chested bitch!!”

“The fuck you say, bitch?”

Yeon-Joo frowned and snapped her finger, tightening the chains. The Succubi screamed.

‘That aside.’

She turned to the battle between Kang-Woo and Hyun-Seong as the Succubi’s screams echoed in the background. She could feel the intense storm of energy from their clashes, befitting their title of Demon King.

“Tsk, how long is this gonna go for?”

Yeon-Joo was perfectly calm despite the monstrous battle occurring in front of her.

“I haven’t showered for a week straight.”

After all, Kang-Woo would never lose despite his opponent also being a Demon King.

***

Boom!!!

The black swamp shook.

“

Huff! Huff! Huff!

”

Hyun-Seong barely blocked Kang-Woo’s attack and widened the distance.

Fwoosh!!!

The blazing Flames of Voracity pursued him.

“Huup!!” Hyun-Seong shouted as he swung Midir.

Dark blue darkness burst forth and scattered the flames. Hyun-Seong momentarily saw Kang-Woo between the scattered flames.

‘A... sea?’

Kang-Woo’s black eyes were so deep that it felt like Hyun-Seong was looking into a boundless sea of demonic energy. Fear was sent down his back.

‘He is...’

His legs trembled and his expression paled.

‘Not a demon.’

Demons were still within the confines of life. The thing in front of him was not a lifeform.

“What are you?” asked Hyun-Seong with a shaking voice.

Kang-Woo, who had been madly attacking Hyun-Seong, calmed down a little and answered, “That doesn’t matter, does it?”

He had not yet quelled the boiling rage inside him but he couldn’t fight mindlessly like a lunatic either.

‘I mean... I don’t think I’d lose even if I did.’

Kang-Woo clicked his tongue in disappointment after having a short bout against Hyun-Seong.

‘Eve was right.’

The Demon King of Pandemonium was not his doppelganger of a parallel world. They had some similarities but that was all there was to it— Oh Hyun-Seong was different from Oh Kang-Woo.

‘As proof...’

Kang-Woo narrowed his eyes.

“Haaa, haaa,” Hyun-Seong panted heavily.

Kang-Woo clicked his tongue again.

‘He’s so weak.’

It might be because his standards rose after fighting Akart’s subordinates but Hyun-Seong was disappointingly weak to the point that Kang-Woo was embarrassed to even have the same title as him.

“Nah.”

Kang-Woo sighed softly and nodded.

‘He’s not the weak one.’

Kang-Woo was just ridiculously strong. Hyun-Seong was objectively not weak— rather, he was several times stronger than Kang-Woo back when he was the Demon King in Hell.

“But that’s it.”

To Kang-Woo, who was now as powerful as the Titans, Hyun-Seong was not even worth calling an opponent.

“Stop wasting my time and hand over the relic.”

Kang-Woo lost interest in Hyun-Seong and focused only on Midir in his hand.

𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

‘It scattered the Flames of Voracity.’

The demonic sword was the only reason Hyun-Seong managed to last this long against Kang-Woo.

‘Its power is extraordinary.’

Kang-Woo honestly couldn’t believe how powerful it was.

“Kurgh,” Hyun-Seong bit his lip in humiliation. He had not felt such humiliation after becoming the Demon King. “Do not be so cocky...!”

He bared his teeth and raised his hand that wasn’t holding Midir.

Sizzle—!!

Scorching dark red magma flowed down his hand and covered his entire arm.

“HAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!” Hyun-Seong shouted and charged.

This was the first time Hyun-Seong attacked first— the magma-covered fist was swung at Kang-Woo.

Fwoosh!

Kang-Woo also enveloped his right arm with the Flames of Voracity and swung his fist.

“Hah!!” Hyun-Seong smiled and his eyes shone. “Idiot! You are merely fire.”

He shouted as he swung his magma fist, “I am magma, which burns even fire— KURGHHH!!”

Bash!!!

Kang-Woo’s fist covered with the Flames of Voracity penetrated the magma and punched Hyun-Seong.

“Did you take a battering ram to the head or something?”

‘Magma burning fire, my ass.’
