Max Level Newbie Chapter 173

After contemplating for about ten minutes, Vulcan slowly opened his eyes.

For some unknown reason, the word 'true hell' has caused his heart to palpitate.

Although the excitement from that wasn't completely washed off, he couldn't endlessly remain there doing nothing else.

The trajectory of this quest was completely different than the previous quests in which he would simply pummel the demon kings.

Based on the characteristics of a hidden quest, there was a high probability that the 'entrance to hell' would be hidden, and additionally, it wasn't known as to what conditions must be satisfied in order to enter it.

Furthermore, it wasn't possible to blindly commence the general quest of 'demon world conquest'.

Based on his fight power, the appropriate level for him was more in terms of a B level.

However, the difficulty level of the quest that was given to him was none other than an A level.

It was very clear that he would either lose his life, or suffer critical injury from the demon king, should he blindly take action.

'First, I need intel!'

He needed a high level intelligence that only upper class levels of the demon world would know, rather than just an ordinary intelligence.

It was clear to him that lowly ordinary ones would not know of the place, so named, the 'true hell'.

'And…..the system would not have thrown me into the A level quest without any contingencies.'

It was probable that rather than adopting standardized tactics of force, there were other ways to conquer the quest.

Therefore, a quality high level intel was very necessary, just to learn that method.

While deep in such thoughts, he felt the energy of a very strong demon from far away.

The entity could easily be classified as a demon king in a D level demon world.

However, it would be a far cry from being a demon king in that A level demon world.

'A great hero of Helkium Dimension…. Perhaps, similar to Harang's position.'

Certainly, it was Vulcan who was an A level.

As he thought that this quest would not be an easy one, he put on a junior demon set, instead of the demon duke set that he was wearing.

Wooowoooong.

Instantly, Vulcan transformed into a small demon with a tail in the shape of an arrow.

He was already suppressing his energy, and now that he has changed his instruments into a junior demon's set, he felt as if he had completely lost his existence.

Satisfied with his appearance, Vulcan smiled, letting out a low air, and discretely approached the bastard.

And as he drew closer to the point in which the target came into his view, he exercised his scanning ability to investigate the bastard's information.

[The great duke's right arm Al Farum]

[1186Lv]

[Characteristics:  Evil, Strong loyalty]

[Potential: Ultimate]

* The body guard and a subordinate of the great hero Lassium, the 2nd in charge of Nurhark dimension.

* Currently mobilizing according to the great hero's command.

* In very tense condition.

'Crazy, 1186 level, and not even a demon king or a great duke, but just a mere subordinate of the great duke?'

Vulcan was astonished.

For crying out loud, how high was the demon world's level, such that even a subordinate of the 2nd one in charge has such a high level.

For Vulcan, who was in the position to conquer the demon world, was definitely in a situation that would cause a big headache.

However, he immediately calmed himself down by initiating positive train of thoughts.

'Right…. It could be that they are A level because the average level of the demons is evenly high, rather than because a single demon king has incredibly high fight power.  In that case, I will have the advantage.  All that needed is to divide and conquer.'

Vulcan decided to think that way to simply relax, not because someone else has confirmed it to be so.

And he was determined to eliminate the bastard right here after capturing him and extracting the high level intelligence.

Capturing the bastard was a necessity in order to reduce the enemy's fight power, and to smoothly progress his own quest.

There were many demons around, appearing to be the bastard's subordinates, but Vulcan didn't pay any attention.

They were all below 1,000 level, at best.

Having made up his mind, Vulcan immediately put on the demon king's set.

Whirrl.

The fight power increased instantly.

As if he felt mesmerizing high as if he was on dope, Vulcan ran towards Al Farum in incredible speed.

No one responded to Vulcan's movements until he drew close to the target!

Since Al Farum, the right arm of the great hero, was only aware of Vulcan's presence when Vulcan came right behind him, there was no doubt that his subordinates felt nothing.

Vulcan threw a left hand with all his might against the bastard, who quickly turned around, raising demon energy, when he felt the chills down his back.

A strong punch, accompanied with maximum fire heat exploded in the bastard's abdomen, and with that impact, an additional magic was applied.

Kwaaaang.

Explosion!

By the demonstration of the awesome magic that grew in power as the powerful fire kept connecting, Al Farum was flung far back while feeling his entire abdomen getting torn apart.

“Kk…..!”

Without even being able to let out a clear scream, Al Farum was thrown far in to the distance as if he was going to be a distant star.

Having made a good use of the surprise attack, Vulcan smiled slightly as the situation was going well, and leaped forward by rolling his feet.

Once again, approaching with incredible speed, Vulcan drew the thunder-god sword, and with a quick use of the thunder-god sword, Vulcan disabled Al Farum from fighting, and disappeared in to somewhere by pulling on to the bastard's collar.

“What the heck…..!”

“Is this the work of a demon king?”

Unable to even appropriately process what was happening, the subordinates who had instantly lost their leader had no choice but to be staring at the direction in to which Al Farum and Vulcan had disappeared.

After entering a naturally formed cave, Vulcan tightly closed the entrance, and began the work of extracting information.

He didn't think that it would be easy.

It was because he found the character 'strong loyalty' when he scanned the bastard's list.

'Perhaps, one or two hours of interrogation would not do anything…..'

If this was a human world, he would inject deity power to his body to cause great pain, but unfortunately, this was a demon world.

Ultimately, Vulcan drew an interrogation method, which he had learned from Lee Jung Yup, for the first time in a long while.

“Krrrraaak!”

Twisting his limbs, Al Farum felt immense pain.

Vulcan smiled in satisfaction at seeing how well the interrogation method that he learned from Lee Jung Yup was working on a high level demon as well.

Vulcan's magic power, which penetrated through the crown of the bastard's head, roughly disturbed the bastard's insides, and he shrieked loudly with the screaming sounds as if he was painful even to be breathing.

It would have been sufficient to stop the interrogation and suitable to extract information, but Vulcan's magic power continued to flow in and tortured Al Farum.

He wanted to clearly establish superiority from the get go.

He had no intention of stopping the torture, unless he heard the words of either please do not kill me, or kill me, now.

However, three hours, and then five hours have passed.

Finally, as the bastard did not show any sign of succumbing even after 24 hours of straight torture, Vulcan was completely exhausted.

'What the heck kind of mental power is this…..'

Vulcan reminisced the old days when he first arrived on Earth after having cracked the Act 1.

A bastard at that time would lose consciousness after a few seconds of torture, and would volunteer tons of information as soon as he woke up.

However, somehow, this bastard was not slipping out any information even all the while his internal organs were being completely gutted.

Furthermore, some non-understandable words that he spewed out intermittently.

“You!  There still remained the demon king's informant!”

“You're wasting your time!  I will never do the things you want!”

As he was hearing the responses in resolute fashion, like those of the resistance fighters who had challenged the police interrogation during the Japanese rule, Vulcan felt that he was doing something terribly wrong.

In the end, Al Farum lost his life after 48 hours of marathon like torture.

Vulcan remained in the cave by himself as the bastard, with his eyes wide open, met his noble an solemn death, followed by his body burning up for an experience point.

“What the heck?”

Vulcan was confused.

He blankly remained in the cave for a long while then putting on an appropriate level demon set, he exited.

For some reason, he felt that something was going on in the demon world.

'Will join the military and seek information from the bottom by pretending to be a newly born demon.'

Vulcan decided on a new direction.

As if there was no time to waste, Vulcan quickly moved from the spot.
