“Underestimating the king of hell, mocking the king of hell, threatening the king of hell, standing in front of the king of hell, raising tone in front the king of hell…

” Malik mentions all of the things that he considered as a crime, Taros, and co silently watched and hear Malik’s words with trembling legs.

Taros and co immediately recalled the things they did in front of Demon Oz. Thran’s leg trembles vigorously after he saw how easily Paimon’s father got captured by the demon in front of him.

“I see… I see… It seems that the king of hell didn’t bear a grudge towards you all. I see… I see… But shame, even if he didn’t, I DO! Zabanies! SHOW THESE CRIMINALS THE TASTE OF HELL!!!” Malik shouted.

Following Malik’s instructions, four figures using a black hood and dressed like a death god appeared from the unknown.

“Shit! Don’t be scared! It’s just the illusion magic of an incubus!! Wake up and fight!!” Taros shouted as he ready his sword.

“An illusion, huh… Indeed… This WAS indeed an illusion, but, not anymore… You should see and feel yourself whether all of this is an illusion or not…” Malik flicked his fingers again, summoning the countless chains of hell.

Even though Taros is strong, his strength is nowhere near Paimon’s father’s strength. He could only barely dodge and block the chains, while the other demons got captured by the chains rather easily.

“Damn it all!!!” Taros growled as his calm and collected expression completely disappeared.

Whoosh!

Right after Taros just landed on the ground after barely succeeded in evading the last chain, the four figures appeared and surrounded him in a blink.

“Damn it!” Taros swing his sword with his full force, but one of the figures blocked his sword easily with a saw.

“Impossible…” Taros muttered as he surrenders because of the possibility of winning that almost non-existent.

The chains finally captured Taros too. The chains suddenly pulled all of them with a powerful force and speed to a deeper part of the valley where the flame rages ferociously.

“””AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRGGGGHHHHH!!!!!”””

The cry and groan of them entered Paimon’s father’s ears clearly. He tried his best to break the burning chains that confining his body, but rather than getting loose, the chains strengthen the power of the grip.

**************************

Pant! Pant! Pant!

In front Demon Oz, Paimon, Adramelech, Lucifer, and Beelzebub, Taros, and co are lying in the ground while soaked in sweat. They checked on their body and looked at them in shock.

(I-it’s just an illusion? No, I definitely feel the pain is real, and that Malik and hooded demons are real creatures. There is no way it’s just an illusion!) (Khran)

“Kneel, as you’re in the presence of the king of hell,” Lucifer said with a deep voice.

Thran, Taros, Khran, and the 10 generals suddenly remembered what kind of things they just experience inside the purgatory. They immediately kneeled in front of Demon Oz because of fear towards him and his purgatory.

“””Please forgive our rudeness, your majesty!!!””” (Taros and co)

“Just like what Malik had said, I’d forgive you, he’s the one who doesn’t,” Demon Oz said indifferently. Lucifer, Paimon, Adramelech, and Beelzebub couldn’t help but have a wry smile imprinted on their face.

Only four of them in this world that knew how terrible the last level of Demon Oz’s hell is.

This skill is one of the perks that Demon Oz gets from the dungeon core’s upgrade. He got two options for a new skill, [True Purgatory] or [Satan Transformation]. [Satan Transformation] skill allows Demon Oz to transform into a powerful devil for a short while, but he won’t be able to use that occasionally, so Demon Oz chose the [True Purgatory] skill.

[True Purgatory] is a dimensional space that resembles hell owned solely by Demon Oz. The power will increase according to how much prisoners the purgatory has. The prisoners that became the fuel of the hell are called ‘Fodders’.

“All of you got your torn limbs and wounds healed because you’re just a visitor. You’ll have your limbs gone for real if you entered my hell as prisoners, while the one who entered it as fodder will eternally live at the brink of death and became the fuel of my hell,” Demon Oz said with a sadistic smile.

Taros and co trembled as he heard Demon Oz’s words.

“Anyway, the time you’ve spent inside my hell is only 2 minutes,” (Demon Oz)

!!!???

“I-impossible…” Paimon’s father muttered as he feels that they had past more than an hour inside the purgatory.

“That hell is my own dimension, and it had its own flow of time. By the way, the hell had regard all of you as my comrades. Try checking your amount of mana, even though you just got tortured by them, those angel of punishment also refines the mana foundation inside your body. While the fire of the purgatory will burn even the mana of an enemy, it will strengthen my allies, now, try releasing your mana,” (Demon Oz)

Taros and co checked on their mana, and indeed, their body felt lighter and their mana got strengthened. Paimon’s father checked on his body too, and he widens his eyes in a surprise at what he saw.

“Impossible…” Paimon’s father muttered. His mana that had stopped improving finally break through the bottleneck of the cultivation!

(This guy… He might be the key to this kingdom’s golden age!) (Paimon’s Father)

Different from the others, Paimon’s father is the only one who didn’t kneel to Demon Oz even though he saw the torture the angels of punishment did towards his generals, he still stands firmly and indifferently in front of Demon Oz without showing any sign of fear.

“What a strong and magneficent man you are, Ren Arken. You’ve brought quite a unique man here, Paimon…” Paimon’s father shows a rare fatherly smile towards Paimon.

“I’m not as good as you think I am, my lord. You’re also magnificent enough to make even the guardian of hell, Malik, wary of you, my-” (Demon Oz)

“Just call me father, Ren. Ho-ho-ho-ho-ho!” Paimon’s father cut Demon Oz’s words and laughed.

“…..Yes, F-father…” Demon Oz said awkwardly.

(Seriously, so this is the plan you mean, huh, Paimon?) (Lucifer)

(I see… So Paimon will bear the successor of the king, huh? It means she’s not the queen!!) (Adramelech)

(Since when does my king and Paimon had already in a relationship?) (Beelzebub)

“Thanks, father!” Paimon said cheerfully as she clings to Demon Oz’s arm again.

“Thran! Khran! We will be preparing for Paimon’s wedding! You, 11 hell generals, go back to your posts and train your new powers! Don’t sully our new king’s name!! And spread the word that the queen is back! And she had brought back to us a new magnificent king!!” Paimon’s father said cheerfully as he leaves the throne room together with Thran and Khran.

The 11 generals follow suit and left the throne room too, leaving Paimon, Beelzebub, Adramelech, Lucifer, and Demon Oz alone.

“So now what, Paimon?” Demon asked towards Paimon that is still clinging to his arm.

“Before that, my king. Is it wise to show them your purgatory and let the purgatory to consider them as allies? Considering we didn’t know much about the demons in this kingdom yet, won’t it be dangerous for you to strengthen them just like that?” (Lucifer)

“Is that so? I thought they’re rather good eggs, and Paimon’s father’s strength might even be stronger than the four of us, you know?” (Adramelech)

“Yea, I’m itching to fight that old man. I could feel that he’s strong,” (Beelzebub)

“It’s fine, Lucifer. This kingdom is the only demon kingdom I could trust because it’s the kingdom Paimon had made. I need to win them over no matter how, and since every demon respected strength, I need to show them my real strength to make sure they are absolutely loyal towards me. And it’s also a good opportunity for you guys to search for your army members, right, my dear generals?” (Demon Oz)

“Indeed!! I want strong and powerful men!! I’ll have my soldiers became splendid warriors!!” Adramelech shouted with full of vigor.

“I think I also want to make a powerful group of elite and have some of the strongest to become my king’s royal guards…” (Lucifer)

“I’ll accept anyone who has strength!” (Beelzebub)

(I’ll be marrying with my king!!!) (Paimon)

“Good, now Paimon, give us a brief explanation about your kingdom,” (Demon Oz)

Following Demon Oz’s order, Paimon reluctantly release Demon Oz’s arm and gave them a brief explanation about her kingdom.

Paimon’s kingdom is called the Ethiresean Kingdom.

Just like what Demon Oz thought, Paimon’s father is the former king of the kingdom and was unexpectedly ranked as the 3rd demon king of the demon realm.

Paimon explained to Demon Oz and co about the condition her kingdom is in the last time she inside the kingdom, and what kind of specialties and traits her kingdom has.

Paimon’s heart shivers in happiness as she could already imagine what kind of future her kingdom has under the leadership of Demon Oz.

(The golden age of Ethiresean is coming~) (Paimon)
