ALL NOVEL Chapter 254
Chapter 254: Wedding (4)
When Satan shouted, “Brides, enter!”
‘Why am I so nervous……?’
Jung Minwoo was overcome with an inexplicable feeling of tension.
‘Am I…… nervous?’
Like a true Demon Lord, he quickly grasped his own state, but……
‘……Is there any reason to be nervous?’
He only understood his current state; the reason behind it remained a mystery.
Jung Minwoo pondered over it, trying to find the cause.
‘Is it because it’s my first wedding?’
He concluded that he must be nervous because this was his first time getting married.
‘Well, it would be weirder if I wasn’t nervous about my first wedding.’
Before his reincarnation, he was too busy to even date, let alone get married. So, in a way, it was natural for him to be nervous now.
‘Getting married to demons…… My past self wouldn’t have believed it.’
He’d imagined finding a compatible woman and getting married after landing a job at a conglomerate. He never once imagined marrying these beautiful demons.
But if someone asked if he was dissatisfied……
‘Dissatisfied? Absolutely not.’
That was far from the truth.
‘Rather, I’m not just satisfied but grateful.’
He couldn’t define his feelings yet, but……
‘I definitely have feelings for them that are more than just liking.’
He knew his feelings were leaning towards a positive direction.
With Venus, they were already in love.
And with Elin and Sayori, his feelings had recently been tilting towards the good.
‘Even though my feelings are positive, it’s still bewildering to marry three of them at the same time.’
Despite the bewilderment, he didn’t feel guilty.
It would have been unimaginable in Korea, but it was considered normal in the Demon World.
Lost in his thoughts……
Ta-da-da-ran Ta-ta-da-ranTa-da-da-dan―!!
Music began to reverberate through the Three Battle Arena, and……
Click, click, click―
Three ‘figures’ started walking out from the passage.
You might ask if I meant to say ‘figures’ instead of ‘dolls’, but……
‘Real dolls are walking out……?’
I said it right.
‘……This is crazy.’
He looked closely at Venus on the left……
T h i s w a s c o pied fr om k in g mt l. o r g
‘Was Venus always this beautiful?’
Her beauty was in full bloom.
T h i s w a s c op i e d f rom k i n g mt l.o r g
Pink hair and an innocent face.
A pure white dress with bare shoulders and a skirt that flowed to the floor.
A white flower adorning her hair.
All these elements combined made her look like the goddess of beauty, just like her name, Venus.
Thump-thump―!
Jung Minwoo felt his heart pounding and quickly shifted his gaze to Elin in the middle.
‘Huh……?’
He examined Elin closely……
‘Is that really Elin……?’
Elin’s beauty was also in full bloom.
Blue hair and a face that exuded both cuteness and a hint of arrogance.
A black dress covering her shoulders, the skirt ending at her knees.
A black choker made of lace around her neck.
He’d thought she’d become more beautiful as she matured from a girl into a woman, but……
‘I didn’t know it would be to this extent……’
Dressed up, she was radiating an unexpected level of beauty.
‘I…… I like the cute and arrogant type, huh.’
He thought he only liked the innocent type, but seeing Elin made him realize that wasn’t true.
Then, he shifted his gaze to Sayori on the right……
‘Oh my……’
Sayori, too, was even more beautiful than before.
Red hair and a sexy face.
A red dress that revealed her shoulders and cleavage, the skirt ending at her ankles.
Ruby earrings adorning her ears.
Her stunning face, voluptuous figure, and stylish dress combined to amplify Sayori’s charm.
‘I…… I like the sexy type too, huh……?’
Jung Minwoo’s attitude might seem fickle, but anyone in his place would have felt the same way.
As he stared at them, mesmerized……
“Minwoo-nim, the tuxedo looks really good on you.”
“……Handsome.”
“As expected of my man. You look incredibly handsome.”
The brides had approached him before he knew it and were speaking to him.
“Uh? Uh……”
Normally, he would have laughed off their compliments with ease, but……
“Minwoo-nim?”
“……Are you alright?”
“What?”
Looking at their beautiful faces made him strangely nervous, and he couldn’t speak properly.
Th is w as c o p i e d f r om k i ng m tl . or g
‘Calm down, Jung Minwoo!’
Jung Minwoo took a deep breath and calmed his emotions. Then……
“You all look beautiful.”
T his w a s co p i ed f r o m k i n g m t l . o r g
He finally spoke the words he wanted to say.
“T-Thank you……”
“……Yeah.”
“I’m so happy to hear Minwoo-nim say I’m beautiful.”
Venus, Elin, and Sayori blushed at his words.
As they exchanged glances, sensing the subtle atmosphere between them……
T h i s w a s c opi ed f r om k ingm t l . o r g
“Everyone, stand next to Minwoo.”
Satan told them to stand in their proper positions.
“””Yes.”””
Venus, Elin, and Sayori stood in their designated spots.
“Then, we shall now commence the noble wedding ceremony of the groom, Jung Minwoo, and the brides, Venus, Elin, and Sayori.”
Using honorifics, Satan began officiating the wedding.
“The groom and brides, please face each other and bow.”
Following Satan’s instructions, Jung Minwoo turned to his left……
Slide―
Venus, Elin, and Sayori turned to their right.
Bow―
They bowed to each other and then faced forward again.
“The groom and brides, please greet the guests present in the Three Battle Arena.”
He’d felt it during the rehearsal, but the proceedings seemed to flow similarly to Korean weddings.
Bow.
They finished greeting the demons seated in the audience.
“We shall now have the wedding vows, starting with the brides and then the groom.”
It was time for the wedding vows.
Wedding vows.
Promises written in a vow document to be kept by each other after the wedding.
“I vow to train hard to be a wife worthy of my husband.”
Starting with Venus……
“……I vow to acquire the necessary strength to be a proud wife of my husband.”
Followed by Elin……
“I vow to grow in strength and power to become a magnificent wife for my husband.”
And lastly, Sayori……
They all finished their vows, promising to increase their strength or power.
Next, it was Jung Minwoo’s turn……
“I promise to become a husband worthy of my brides by ascending to the 1st Rank.”
T hi s w a s c opi e d f r o m kin g mt l . org
Jung Minwoo stated his promise in a calm voice.
The high-ranking Demon Lords who heard his vow……
“””……”””
Hardened their expressions and glared at Jung Minwoo.
His declaration to reach the 1st Rank was like a declaration of war, implying he would surpass all of them, the high-ranking Demon Lords.
His achievements so far were too impressive to dismiss his words as mere bravado.
“Next, we shall have the declaration of marriage.”
Despite the high-ranking Demon Lords being lost in thought, the wedding continued.
“Groom Jung Minwoo-gun and brides Venus, Elin, and Sayori-yang have solemnly vowed before all present to become husband and wife. Therefore, I ask all guests to give a round of applause to celebrate the birth of this couple.”
*Clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap…… *
T h i s w a s co p ie d fro m kin g m t l. or g
At Satan’s words, the demons in the audience rose from their seats and began clapping.
Clap, clap, clap―
Of course, even the high-ranking Demon Lords, lost in their thoughts, reluctantly rose and clapped.
“Finally, to celebrate this marriage, we shall have a cake cutting ceremony, and then the wedding will conclude.”
As Satan gestured towards the passage……
Thud, thud, thud―
Four demons carried a giant cake into the arena.
‘That’s quite a size……?’
A six-tiered cake.
On top of it were miniature dolls modeled after him and his brides.
“The groom and brides, please take the cake knife and cut the cake together.”
He received the massive knife offered by a demon, along with his brides.
“Let’s cut it.”
Holding the handle together, they cut the giant six-tiered cake.
“Congratulations on your wedding!”
T h is w a s c o p i e d f ro m kin gm tl .o r g
Boom, boom, boom, boom―
Fireworks exploded in the sky as they cut the cake.
“Let us wish them happiness and conclude this wedding ceremony.”
Satan declared the wedding ceremony over.
“Food will be served soon, so please remain seated.”
Amidst thunderous applause from the demons in the audience, Jung Minwoo and his brides left the arena.
The arena was filled with top-quality food, and the demons in the audience descended to enjoy their meal.
“What are you going to do?”
“What else? I’m going to challenge Forneus for his throne as soon as the meal is over.”
“Don’t you plan on leaving that to me?”
“Leave it to you? Why would I give you a chance to rise in the ranks?”
“……”
“You know I won’t let you off easy if you challenge him before me.”
“……I understand.”
The Demon Lords engaged in a silent battle of nerves, each calculating the right moment to challenge Forneus.
As the meal neared its end, the Demon Lords began to approach Forneus……
“Dantalion! I challenge you for your throne!”
A powerful female voice boomed from behind them.
“Challenge for the Throne?”
“……Who is that?”
“What’s going on?”
The Demon Lords, feeling bewildered, turned to look in the direction of the voice……
“Huhu, I accept your challenge.”
“Good.”
There stood Dantalion, the 72nd ranked Demon Lord, and Anubis, known to be Jung Minwoo’s subordinate.
T h i s wa s cop i e d f r om k in gm t l . o r g
They were stunned by this sudden Challenge for the Throne.
“Dantalion, I appoint you as my ‘Proxy’.”
Jung Minwoo appeared and appointed Dantalion as his ‘Proxy’.
“Oh!”
At that moment, demonic energy enveloped Anubis’s body……
“This is exhilarating.”
A few moments later, the demonic energy dissipated, revealing her with a powerful presence.
“A sudden Proxy appointment……?”
Seir, the 71st ranked Demon Lord, tilted his head in confusion.
“Seir, the 71st ranked Demon Lord! I challenge you for your throne!”
Anubis challenged Seir.
“……Huh?”
Seir was taken aback by the sudden turn of events.
“By the way, the Challenge for the Throne will happen right now. You can refuse if you’re scared.”
Anubis provoked him with a sly smile.
“……”
Seir realized what Jung Minwoo was trying to do.
‘Taking advantage of all the Demon Lords being gathered here to launch a Challenge for the Throne…… How cunning……’
He wasn’t prepared for a Challenge for the Throne at this moment.
His opponent had made all the preparations and possessed even stronger demonic energy than him.
‘How can a newly appointed Demon Lord be stronger than me……?’
He thought about avoiding the fight and becoming the 72nd ranked Demon Lord, but……
T h i s wa s co p ie d fr o m k i n gm tl . o r g
‘Wait…… those guys?’
He noticed two demons standing beside Anubis, both looking at him with eyes full of greed.
‘……Even if I avoid fighting now, those two will challenge me.’
Seir had a gut feeling that even if he refused Anubis’s challenge, those two would step up.
‘Using the wedding as a cover for such a despicable tactic!’
He glared at Jung Minwoo with anger, but……
“Well then, I’ll be taking my leave. I have to go on my honeymoon.”
Jung Minwoo smiled faintly and left with his brides.
‘Sigh…… I have no choice but to accept.’
Seir sighed deeply and……
“Fine, I accept.”
He finally accepted the Challenge for the Throne.
