CHAPTER LXII
When Hell Walks the Earth
Arc 3 – The Demon War
---
The void shattered.
---
The throne vanished.
Evathus disappeared.
---
And reality—
Returned.
---
Not gently.
Not gradually.
---
But violently.
---
The Return to War
Sound exploded back into existence.
---
The burning city.
The cracking ground.
The suffocating pressure.
---
And in front of him—
Xarge.
---
Unchanged.
Unmoved.
---
As if nothing had interrupted the battle.
---
But something had changed.
---
Not outside.
---
Inside.
---
Kashihero's eyes were different.
---
Colder.
Sharper.
---
More certain.
---
The King's Move
Xarge raised his hand slowly.
---
"…Enough."
---
The word did not echo.
---
It pressed.
---
And then—
---
Reality tore open.
---
The Gate of the Abyss
The sky above the capital split apart.
---
Not like before.
---
This time—
It did not stabilize.
---
It did not remain a gateway.
---
It broke.
---
Completely.
---
A massive crack stretched across the sky.
---
And from it—
Darkness poured.
---
Unfiltered.
Unrestricted.
---
The boundary between the underworld and the human world—
Collapsed.
---
The Summoning
Xarge spread his arms.
---
"…Come."
---
The word was simple.
---
But its effect—
Was absolute.
---
From the shattered sky—
They descended.
---
Demons.
---
Not hundreds.
Not thousands.
---
Legions.
---
Endless waves.
---
Creatures of all forms.
All sizes.
All levels.
---
From crawling beasts—
To towering monsters.
---
From twisted abominations—
To structured warriors.
---
The Arch Demons
Among them—
Several figures stood apart.
---
Larger.
Smarter.
---
Their presence distorted the air.
---
Arch Demons.
---
Each one radiating immense power.
---
Lucas's eyes darkened.
---
"…He's not holding back anymore."
---
The Demon Generals
Then—
They appeared.
---
Four figures.
---
Descending slowly.
---
Their presence heavier than the rest.
---
Their aura—
Comparable to kings.
---
Demon Generals.
---
And among them—
One stepped forward.
---
Tall.
Armored in black abyssal steel.
---
His eyes—
Cold.
---
His smile—
Familiar.
---
The One Who Sealed Lucas
Lucas froze.
---
For the first time—
His expression broke.
---
"…No…"
---
The demon general tilted his head slightly.
---
"…Lucas."
---
His voice carried calm cruelty.
---
"…Still alive?"
---
Arin looked at Lucas.
---
"…You know him…?"
---
Lucas's fists clenched.
---
"…That bastard…"
---
"…Is the one who sealed my power."
---
The Name of the General
The demon stepped forward.
---
"…You remember me."
---
"…Good."
---
"…I am Zerath Veyl."
---
"…The one who broke you."
---
The Battlefield Divides
Kashihero didn't look at them.
---
Because his opponent—
Had not changed.
---
Xarge stood still.
---
Watching everything unfold.
---
The War Begins
The system activated violently.
---
[WAR STATE CONFIRMED]
---
Multiple High-Level Entities Detected
---
Combat Zones Established
---
---
Everything split.
---
Battle 1 — Lucas vs Zerath Veyl
Lucas stepped forward slowly.
---
His aura began to rise.
---
Not controlled.
Not calm.
---
Furious.
---
"…You…"
---
"…I've been waiting for this."
---
Zerath smiled.
---
"…Then come."
---
Their clash—
Exploded instantly.
---
Dark energy vs abyssal steel.
---
Hatred vs control.
---
Battle 2 — Arin vs Underworld Beast
A massive creature dropped from the sky.
---
Four limbs.
Hundreds of eyes.
---
Its presence alone crushed the ground.
---
Arin stepped forward.
---
His body still trembling—
But his mind steady.
---
"…I'll handle this."
---
The Soul Door pulsed.
---
Lucas's power.
Kashihero's energy.
---
Flowed through him.
---
Battle 3 — Kashihero vs Xarge
The center remained.
---
Unchanged.
---
Kashihero and Xarge stood.
---
Alone.
---
But not for long.
---
Two demon generals moved toward Kashihero.
---
Without words.
Without hesitation.
---
They attacked.
---
The Three-on-One
Kashihero didn't move back.
---
His katana rose.
---
The first strike came—
---
Blocked.
---
The second—
Dodged.
---
The third—
Countered.
---
The Pressure Multiplies
Three opponents.
---
Each one—
Strong enough to destroy armies.
---
And one of them—
A king.
---
The First Blood
One of the generals lunged.
---
Kashihero moved—
But not fully.
---
The blade grazed his shoulder.
---
Blood fell.
---
The battlefield paused.
---
Just for a moment.
---
The Reaction
Xarge's eyes narrowed slightly.
---
"…So you bleed."
---
Kashihero didn't respond.
---
He looked at the blood.
---
Then—
He smiled.
---
The Shift
The air changed.
---
Something deeper—
Awakened.
---
Carnivorous Reacts
---
[Skill Reaction Triggered]
---
Energy surged through Kashihero.
---
Not from devouring.
---
From something else.
---
Adaptation.
---
Lucas's Rage
On the other side—
Lucas roared.
---
His demonic power exploded.
---
"…YOU TOOK EVERYTHING FROM ME!"
---
Zerath blocked calmly.
---
"…And I'll do it again."
---
Arin's Growth
Arin faced the beast.
---
Every movement precise.
---
Every strike—
Stronger.
---
Because he wasn't alone.
---
The Center of War
The capital was no longer a city.
---
It was a battlefield.
---
Hell and humanity—
Colliding.
---
The King Moves
Finally—
Xarge stepped forward.
---
Not testing.
Not observing.
---
Fighting.
---
The Final Line
Kashihero tightened his grip.
---
Three enemies.
One battlefield.
---
And above all—
A king who had just entered the war.
