The Successor To The Underworld Is A Cheat Player 51

That was a mistake.

“Where are the demons? Give me proper information….”

Fwoosh!

The longsword he drew out plunged into the other arm of the man whose arm had already been severed.

“I’ll send you off without pain.”

Since this place was already a hell.

The place Sein was trapped in was truly no different from a maze.

“Could it be the Black Sorcerers?”

Black Sorcerers had been beings who had lived in hiding since ancient times.

That’s why they created dungeons, becoming those who fiercely protected their own bodies.

This place was no exception.

‘A dungeon.’

For Sein, it was nothing short of entering a dungeon for the first time in his final round.

If the system had been intact, we could have known some information.

“Alright. This is the lair of the Black Mage.”

At this moment, Sein could only come up with names.

– We don’t know!

Those who were tortured to spill information.

– We are…!

Although they couldn’t obtain accurate information, Den succeeded in finding the entrance to the area where only those at the bottom could not enter.

A magic circle looming before them.

Sein carefully examined it and without hesitation, reached out his hand.

Whooosh!

The magic circle emitted light.

In the following moment,

“It was a gate.”

Sein found himself in a space different from before.

It was a dark and gloomy cave.

Twist.

It was a space that held such dense magic that it made even the dormant heart of the demon king raise its head.

“That’s the answer.”

This is it.

The place where what he was looking for is.

Saaa.

The bristling fur and goosebumps that appeared confirmed his conviction.

That there were demons here.

Thump! Thump!

His suppressed heart beat violently.

But Sein couldn’t move forward.

Shoo, shoo, shoo, shoo!

If Sein had taken even one more step, numerous holes would have appeared in those protruding black thorns.

“You have a keen sense.”

A voice.

“No. If I only had a keen sense, I wouldn’t have been able to come this far.”

The disappearing black thorns.

That was it.

Shaaaah!

They reappeared in front of Sein, surrounding him.

“Who are you? This is not a place where unauthorized individuals can enter.”

Thorns that seemed to imply they wouldn’t stay still if he moved even a bit.

“It would be better to go back if you’ve taken the wrong path.”

“Oh.”

And finally, Sein spoke.

“Do you have any intention of sending me back?”

At that moment, slowly, a deeper darkness began to emerge from within the darkness.

“Of course,” the voice said.

“Guiding a lost young spirit is also our duty…”

Snick.

In the darkness, only yellowed teeth were revealed.

“It’s the mission bestowed upon the Child of Darkness.”

The Child of Darkness.

Words spoken by the sorcerer who had sold himself to dark magic.

Information he vaguely remembered.

And now, it had become a certainty.

“Returning to where I belong, that would be my home, right?”

“Anywhere but your home, isn’t it? Anywhere will become your home.”

Master level.

Kwaaang!

A massive explosion occurred where Sein had been standing.

“Even death may be a home for spirits. Find a new home within my embrace, child.”

A bitter explosion.

The moment shadows reached out.

“I understand that being the Child of Darkness means being a master-level dark sorcerer.”

“…!”

Something that should not have happened unfolded.

Sein, who should have cried out in agony, turned into a puppet.

“Your magic may be powerful, but your skills are lacking.”

Standing unscathed, holding the Dark Nails firmly.

Chaecheng!

The moment Sein shattered one, all the Dark Nails crumbled away like dominoes.

“Have you been weakened by peace?”

“You!”

Once again, dozens of Dark Nails appeared and flew towards Sein.

Kwaang!

The Dark Nails bounced off his hands.

“…!”

Just touching them caused the skin to decay and drained life force. It was nearly impossible to fend off the Dark Nails with just bare hands.

Kakakang!

Sein, as if hearing a divine call, pushed away the Dark Nails and advanced towards the shadow.

“Unless…”

Suddenly, Sein found himself standing right in front of the shadow.

“Are you a puppet created?”

Phew!

A hand piercing straight through the heart.

Swoosh!

And slowly, the shadow began to crumble.

It was the 6th Zone.

Though designated as the Mid Zone, it wasn’t a place where those who tasted the sweetness of the Upper Zone could easily come down to.

As the numbers decrease, even the air one breathes and the density of magic felt are different.

So, it might be true that the owner of this doll is a child of darkness.

But this was just a puppet play of an owner who didn’t want to be stuck in the Mid Zone, despite possessing vast magic.

Clang.

The limits were just too clear.

“Finally, we meet.”

Sain stood still, gazing ahead.

It was a being over 2 meters tall with horns protruding crimson.

“A demon.”

A blurry light seeped into the creature’s pupils at Sain’s voice.

Compared to Sain, who had been captured here, the creature’s appearance was undeniably dreadful.

Not just bound by iron chains and restraints all over its body.

Thud, thump.

Stakes, difficult to discern the temperament of, were literally driven into its body.

Yet, it didn’t give off as much of a repulsive feeling as it might have, despite the sense of sanctity it conveyed.

“Are you an Arcane?”

Sain asked, but no answer came.

“The magical contract is actually a curse, not magic.”

Words muttered to oneself, or to the other, who could tell.

“The contracts made by the candidates barely last a few years, so they must have known how to reinforce it, right?”

The reinforcement of the curse.

That is.

“Because it requires the blood of demons.”

So, when asked, it was the correct answer.

In Zone 6, Contre, there is a demon named Arcane in the city of Black Magicians.

“Answer.”

“…Kill… me…”

“Other than that.”

Sain said.

“Are you an Arcane?”

“I…”

“No matter how much you ask, it won’t be of any use.”

Sein tilted his ear.

“If you were going to show up, you should have done so all at once. Why make it so bothersome?”

After hearing the voice, he turned around.

“If I was rude, I apologize. I thought the alarm went off and came straight here.”

It wasn’t just a shadow.

A young man with a clear figure.

Blond hair, deep ash-colored eyes.

“Anyway, that guy has lost everything, including his memory. It’s amazing just to see him open his mouth like that.”

The vibe he gave off.

“Who are you?”

“Are you the owner of the doll?”

Master level.

This person was undoubtedly the dark child who controlled the dolls.

“Not only did he turn the mine into a mess on his own, but he also came in here and broke my doll.”

With that, the man acknowledged his identity.

And the dark child he faced was certainly incomparable to a doll.

“It’s not like you’d do something crazy like this for a few coins, and you don’t seem to care about upsetting the shrine folks either.”

They were assessing each other.

“More importantly, how can you freely breathe in this place?”

Whoosh!

At that moment, sunlight poured in from somewhere.

The reflection of the cave in that light was truly hellish.

A thick, suffocating magic filled the entire space, making it impossible for any human to even breathe here.

“Are you from a different family?”

The young man asked Sein.

The blond youth was relaxed.

“Are you from a different family?”

Considering the implications of that statement, it was natural to think about the identity that could be inferred.

Where this place was.

And especially if the opponent was a master-level practitioner.

“It’s unlikely.”

The young man muttered to himself, perhaps having experienced a similar past as Sein.

“I wouldn’t be unaware of a peer from another family with this level of skill.”

“True.”

“But it’s strange.”

Even to Sein’s words, the young man continued his soliloquy.

“I must find out.”

Moment.

Boom!

Where Sein was, a Dark Nail was driven in and exploded.

It was the real deal, different from what the doll had used.

In front of Sein.

Ung!

The Dark Nail was already prepared.

Crash!

The Dark Nail struck by Sein’s swinging hand began to tremble.

“…!”

Dilated pupils.

Boom!

In the next moment, the Dark Nail exploded, transforming into dozens of pieces that pierced Sein’s body.

“Gah!”

It pierced through the reinforced flesh, the skin.

Aaah!

The darkened body, even holding the heart of a demon king, was still being penetrated by a curse.

“Fascinating. I didn’t even know there was a being with pure magic like you.”

While Sein moved fiercely, the blond youth only muttered words, waving his hand.

Zwaeeek!

“You seem to have a resistance to curses that even demons might envy. If you become a bit more enlightened, you might become the foundation of a new dawn that has never been seen before…”

Sein leaped, rolled his body, fighting fiercely.

There was no time to draw his sword.

Dozens, hundreds.

Dark Nails flying freely.

Boom!

Shards bursting before being properly blocked.

The curse contained in those shards.

“Ugh!”

Continually slowing Sein’s movements by penetrating him.

“Damn, I thought you had regressed.”

Nowhere could one find anything about those who had stopped growing due to being immersed in peace.

But.

“There’s no way.”

It was true that dark sorcerers had emerged onto the surface, but that was all.

The world they lived in was nowhere near peaceful.

Especially within the three dark families who were in conflict.

“What are you?”

Dark magic had further evolved into a more aggressive form.

Thud!

Seine felt it with every fiber of his being at that moment.

“You, what the hell.”

At that moment.

“Curious?”

Dark Nail halted.

It was because Seine was standing right in front of the bound Mazoku.

If Seine dodged, the merchandise would suffer.

A merchandise worth more than the entirety of Contra.
