Everyone Is Young Except For Me Chapter 362

Ashtar looked satisfied and was going to listen to Park Muyeol's request. Suddenly, there was a loud noise from the walls. A young man rushed toward this place at a high speed while releasing sword energy to this place. One of the general-cla.s.s demons watching it from the air sent out a sharp, b.l.o.o.d.y energy with his fingers. However, the unidentified young man emitted black lightning that lightly bounced back the b.l.o.o.d.y energy.

“What?”

The shocked demon general was about to properly attack the young man when another young man appeared with white thunderbolt. A fist flew at the demon general's head accompanied with the sound of thunder.

“......!”

In front of the fl.u.s.tered demon general, Zhen Sulong raised his power and formed six arms. There was another sound of thunder and Zhen Sulong hit the demon general in front of him at a terrifying speed. Aries and the other constellations flew toward different demon generals. The sudden battle was chaos itself.

Dozens of magic attacks filled the sky. In order to live, the players desperately launched various attacks against the demons. In the meantime, Park Seongchan bounced off the attacks of the demon generals with the black lightning and arrived near Park Muyeol's body. He grabbed at Park Muyeol's body and burst into tears. The moment he saw his grandfather's head next to the body, he looked blank and couldn't stand in shock.

[Huhu. I can't keep my promise if they come out like this. Isn't that right?]

[They attacked first.]

Ashtar's two faces showed different, sinister smiles. In fact, they had no intention of keeping the agreement from the beginning. Still, they thought it was a good thing this had happened.

“...Shut up.”

[Hmm?]

“Shut up!” Park Seongchan's sword moved horizontally and sharp black lightning flew up toward Ashtar's face. The laughing Ashtar's faces distorted like a demon after being suddenly attacked. The black lightning covered his face.

[You...!]

It happened as Ashtar turned to Park Seongchan with red eyes... 

Out of nowhere, a dragon's cry was heard in the sky. The Dragon Fear slowed the momentum of the demons for a moment. Ashtar also paused for a moment. Then a black ray flew toward Ashtar in a straight line, splitting the ground and breaking the mountain behind him.

[Keuk!]

Ashtar barely managed to cross his sword in front of him to twist the trajectory of the black beam. Then he turned his eyes to the location of the attack. There, a black dragon was flapping its wings and looking down at him. Above him was Monet da Vinci.

[Monet...!]

Ashtar frowned as he realized it was Monet's ink dragon that attacked him. Meanwhile, Mido approached Park Seongchan's side. Mido collapsed with shock when she saw Park Muyeol's body. Her lips were trembling as she glared at Ashtar, using her mind to release Lilith.

Then she ordered Lilith to attack Ashtar.

[Lilith, you have been tamed by human hands. What a sight!]

[Bah, I haven't liked you since ancient times!]

The fight between Ashtar and Lilith shook the ground. Asmodeus joined forces with Lilith but the demons couldn't be underestimated. It was an unfavorable fight in terms of numbers in the first place. The battle between the almost one million demons and the less than 100,000 allied forces became worse as time pa.s.sed.

* * *

Lee Seokjun and all of Union's employees closed their lips in front of the large monitor, unable to say anything. The death of Park Muyeol couldn't leave their minds. His death was a holy sacrifice for humanity and deserved respect.

However, now his sacrifice was in vain. The war started out of nowhere and no one could stop it. It wasn't just Union's employees. People from all over the world were watching. Some people were watching the scene on the big screens on the buildings while driving. Some religious people watched while praying.

“...Oh G.o.d. Please save them.”

Everyone cheered for the allied forces with one heart, but the situation didn't improve. The allied forces who fought fiercely were gradually pushed back by the numerical offensive. The demons rushed at them recklessly and irrationally. Eventually, the number of users killed among the allies started to increase.

It wasn't just people all over the world. Union's employees watched and held their breaths. The anchors reporting the news on the live broadcasts gulped at the sight.

'...It is all over.'

Lee Seokjun closed his eyes with a pale face. Union was now the most condemned company in the world. Lee Seokjun couldn't erase the error. They would go downhill from now and end up in ruin.

'How did I get to this place? How did such a thing happen?'

He wanted to force all servers to close, but he couldn't guarantee the lives of the users inside if he did that. It was also a big problem that the supercomputer Gaia couldn't be controlled. In any case, facing these difficulties, Lee Seokjun shut his mouth and couldn't say anything.

“s.h.i.+t!”

Lee Seokjun bit his lip and cursed. He had hopefully asked Yoo Minseok to head to the hospital where Dr Kang Jaeseong was located, but now it was useless. Now all that was left for him was despair.

“Father...”

Lee Seokjun wanted to see his father, Lee Geonmyeong. He always wanted to resemble his father so it was natural to think of his father in this desperate moment. It happened just then...

“Eh?”

“That person is...!”

The employee's finger pointed somewhere and everyone's eyes turned in that direction. All the employees saw the face of the person on the screen and showed surprise. Lee Seokjun also opened his eyes and made a disbelieving expression. The person who appeared on the screen seemed to tear through darkness. The white-haired old man in a black cloak was staring coldly downwards from the sky.

A few hours ago...

Through the teleportation array, I was able to reach a small hole deep in Send-off Volcano which was quite far from Metheus. It was hidden quite deep so no one could find it. The moment I got out, I flew straight to Metheus at high speed. In half a day, I reached the plains in front of Metheus. After arriving, I could only frown.

“There are so many.”

I realized I couldn't wait any longer. I increased my speed and crossed the sky. After a while, I pa.s.sed by the rear of the demon king's army and could see people fighting. They were Hercules and Lucifer. I strengthened my vision while looking across the distance at the front.

It was pandemonium. The corpses of humans and demons were piled up like a mountain and the blood formed a river. It was the feeling of seeing h.e.l.l.

“...I am too late.” I lamented as I started descending toward Metheus. I looked around and found where Mido was first. Soon, I was able to find her. Beside her were Park Seongchan, Park Muyeol's grandson, and a corpse.

“Don't tell me...”

I slowly descended by the side of the corpse. Mido was shocked to see me suddenly appearing, but I deliberately made it not obvious until I arrived here. Mido suddenly started crying. “Grandfather. Grandfather Muyeol...”

“......”

I barely controlled my face while slowly kneeling before the corpse. The next moment, I saw Park Muyeol's head being held in Park Seongchan's arms and I could barely suppress the irresistible anger. I slowly touched Park Muyeol's cheeks and murmured to myself, “This friend. Why did you leave in vain like this...”

 I couldn't say anything else. The death of a friend of 40 years was a huge shock.

“Who did this?”

“That guy.”

I slowly turned my head and looked at the three people fighting in the air. They were Ashtar, Lilith, and Asmodeus. Ashtar seemed to have the upper hand against Lilith and Asmodeus. It seemed that was a ranking even among the demon kings. Even if these two joined forces, they couldn't beat the lone Ashtar.

I gritted my teeth and slowly looked around.

“......”

Some of the constellations had lost their lights and became dead bodies. The bizarre demons were busy slaughtering regardless of whether they were NPCs or users. My eyes slowly turned black. They were Pluto's eyes that allowed me to see the souls of the dead. This was one of the powers she had given to me.

I looked around and muttered, “It is exactly as Seonyeong said.”

I nodded slowly and made a decision. I slowly rose into the air and headed for Ashtar's location. Mido was shouting from below about where I was going, but I deliberately ignored her and arrived at where Ashtar was fighting in the air. Ashtar found me and his cold eyes shone. [Uhaha! You're here to fight!]

“......”

I stared at Ashtar silently with a cold gaze. Ashtar was overwhelmed by the energy coming from my black eyes and paused for a moment. He instinctively realized that the man who appeared in front of him had a power that could never be ignored. Lilith and Asmodeus were also frightened and quickly distanced themselves from me and Ashtar.

"...Did you do that?”

[Hah? I don't know what you're talking about.]

“Below me, my friend of 40 years had his head cut off and he was killed. I'm asking if you did that.”

[Ah, if it is that person then it is correct. So what? Kukuk. Are you here to get revenge?]

Ashtar's first head laughed and the veins on my forehead bulged. The next moment, I shot forward like lightning. There was the sound of thunder as I instantly moved behind Ashtar. I turned and kicked his back.

[Kuock!]

Once again, lightning flashed along with the sound of thunder. This time, the rain, thunderbolts, and wind aimed at Ashtar from all directions. In the face of tremendous speed and power, Ashtar couldn't even groan. He was busy stopping the attacks that came from everywhere. Moments later, smoke rose from Ashtar's body and stopped the attacks.

“Bah.”

[Daring to laugh at me!]

Ashtar disappeared and reappeared in front of me. I quickly pulled out the Poison Eating Sword I was carrying on my back and blocked his twin swords. A huge force was felt from the sword and shockwaves spread out from it. Ashtar was shocked that I blocked his attacks so easily.

Then he became even more surprised to see the torn black cloak I was wearing and the energy of the dead flowing from my sword.

[Y-You...!]

“You will die in my hands today.” I slowly looked down and declared to Ashtar in front of me. “However, first, I will return everything to its original state.”

At the same time, Kronos' pocket watch around my neck glowed white.
