Chapter 485: Frozen Temple (1)
Oh Kang-Woo’s words of mockery were engraved in Bael’s head. Bael scratched his cheeks with his sharp fingernails, forming hideous wounds from his cheekbones to his chin. Black blood dripped from the wounds.
“I-I-I-I-I…” Bael mumbled crazily.
He swayed from side to side. His vision blurred and he panted heavily. Kang-Woo’s words continued to echo inside his head.
“I’m… not… nothing.”
He gritted his teeth and the broken fragments of his teeth mixed with his blood and flowed down to his chin.
“I was first,” Bael muttered crazily. “I was first, not you.”
Bael glared at the Demon King on the screen.
“Your position… What you have… They were all supposed to be mine.”
His resentment ran down his back and throughout his body. He knew better than anyone what the source of that resentment was.
“You’re… nothing,” Bael muttered, his voice filled with a sense of inferiority. “Haaa, haaa.”
He bit his lip as he panted heavily and wet his hand with the black blood pooling on his chin. He slowly looked up.
“Amon.”
“Yes, Lord Bael.”
A wave was formed in the darkness as if a black dye was dropped in water. The darkness gathered together and a hunchback demon with a staff appeared from it.
“Are the preparations complete?” Bael asked.
Amon easily understood what Bael was asking despite being given no specificity.
“Yes, preparations for the day of the Apocalypse are almost complete.” Amon bowed deeply and continued, “I have given Eilles the exact date and rallied the demons of the Ninth Hell. However…” Amon clicked his tongue in dissatisfaction. “It is a shame Doomguard was allowed to escape.”
“It doesn’t matter,” Bael answered in irritation.
Doomguard was but a fly who was of no consequence to the great plan.
“The true purpose of hasn’t been discovered yet, has it?” Bael asked.
“It has not.” Amon smiled, his wrinkly face wrinkling even more. He bowed.
Bael’s grimace turned into a bright smile. “Heh. Okay, that’s all that matters.”
He laughed as he moved his shoulders up and down. His victory was guaranteed as long as he had .
“H-Hihihi,” Bael chuckled as he glared at Kang-Woo in madness. “Mock me as much as you want while you still can. You’ll lose everything soon enough.”
Bael gritted his teeth which had instantly regenerated again.
“Now.” Bael stood up, opened his arms wide, and looked up at the burning sky. “It is time for the Apocalypse.”
The army of demons filling the colossal hill of red sand roared.

A white light lit the floor of the Hall of Protection. The light gathered in one spot and appeared a young man with sharp eyes.
“Hyung-nim!” Kim Si-Hun ran toward Kang-Woo, who manifested back into the physical realm. He
“Oh, that. Yeon-Joo’s a Bronze.”
“Pfft. Bronze?” Echidna sneered. “Does Yeon-Joo only have three fingers?”
“... Mm. I think I understand how low a Bronze is now.” Kang-Woo snickered and spent some more time with Echidna. “Alright, then.”
Kang-Woo grabbed Echidna by the armpits and pulled her away from him.
“Urghh.” Echidna pouted but she also knew that she couldn’t act spoiled any longer. “We found a dungeon in a Gate around the Arctic Ocean.”
“A dungeon?”
Kang-Woo narrowed his eyes.
