Side Story Chapter 131: Thousand-Year War (4)
Oh Kang-Woo had yet to become one of the strong in the Ninth Hell. He was stronger than the average demon but in the Ninth Hell, there existed demons that far surpassed what the demons of other floors could ever imagine. The seven princes of Hell were one thing but the archdemons who were granted powers from the princes were also unimaginably powerful.
‘I need time.’
Kang-Woo needed time to devour demons using the Authority of Predation and safely grow stronger. In that sense, the Halves’ village was the perfect place to do so.
‘Since there’s no way the princes of Hell or the archdemons would go out of their way to come here.’
Apex predators like lions and tigers wouldn’t waste time hunting for grasshoppers or ants. The ones who usually preyed on the weak were not those all-powerful, but those just a little stronger than the weak— just like the gray-skinned demon Kang-Woo had just faced.
“How often do other demons attack the village?”
“It depends… They usually attack about two to three times a week, but the frequency of their attacks has been increasing. The other mature demons and I have been working together to fend them off somehow, but… we are reaching our limit.”
Two to three times a week; it was not enough time to gather people for an attack but if the number of attacks had been increasing, it meant that information about the Halves’ location had spread to other demons.
‘There will be more demons coming to attack.’
