Chapter 99 Just like in the novel.
The demon slapped his shoulder where Sasha was, but he missed because she was right in between his fingers. Sasha ran and climbed up the demon's neck hurriedly before the demon's other hand hit his own neck where she was. She managed to climb up onto the demon's jaw, but the impact from the hit made her lose her grip.
She stabbed the other dagger and prevented her from going further down. She then climbed again and finally managed to stand right on the demon's cheekbone. She stared at the demon's right eye for a moment, and then she ran toward it as fast as she could.
"I have no idea what I'm doing, but..." Sasha paused as she jumped toward the demon's eye. "If Mykel had gone through the story in the novel, he would try this method as well," Sasha cut the eye open and entered the demon's head through his eye.
Sasha thought about the original story about Asmond and the others who killed Demon King Behemoth. Although it was a fictional character and story, it had become reality the moment she sent Mykel inside the novel. What he had been through, he used the same method to reach the end of the story.
"Let's see if you're really invincible..." Sasha said as she looked at the tissues and the veins inside the demon's eye. "You're not a demon or angel, that means you can be killed," Sasha continued as she took a deep breath and started walking.

Sasha glanced at the notification and she had forgotten when the last time a notification appeared in front of her. She despised that notification because Raphael ignored her struggle and left as if it was none of his business. Seeing him coming back and giving such a message only rubbed a salt on her wound.
She decided to ignore the notification and think about what she should do next after she entered the demon's body. She realized it would take a while before she could reach the demon's heart, so she was thinking of the fastest route by imagining a human's anatomy.
Kseniya created a giant barrier to protect everyone from the tsunami by splitting the sea. She came right on time, but the problem was that they couldn't do anything but wait until the water level was low enough.
"This isn't a great idea. We are trapped here and we will drown if the barrier disappeared, or worse will be dead from the water pressure," Magnus said as he looked at the dome that Kseniya created. "Let's just hope the demon doesn't do anything to us," Magnus continued.
"It seems that's the case. Look, the demon is acting weirdly," Lazarus pointed out as he looked at the demon covering his right eye. "Did someone do something to him?" Lazarus asked.
"Wait, Miss Sasha is still out there!" Anzel said as he looked up at the demon. "Don't tell me she has been climbing up there on her own?" Anzel was in disbelief.
"She's up there. I saw her climbing on the demon's back," Dimitri answered as he got up and cleaned the suit he was wearing. "I'm not sure what she's planning, but it's pointless," Dimitri added.
They were looking up as the water slowly covered the whole barrier with no sign of stopping. They were trapped and there was nothing they could do but wait until the water dried out.
The demon was struggling to get rid of Sasha inside his eyes which were being cut from the inside. Although he could regenerate and it didn't affect him much, the pain made him feel uncomfortable. He banged his head on his fist, but it only worsened and made him scream in frustration.
"Even a bite of an ant can be annoying and painful. The worst part is you can't do anything about it," Sasha said as she tore the demon's eye muscle and ran to the back of his head.
Sasha walked in a dark tunnel of muscles and flesh as she kept annoying the demon. It took her half an hour until she found a new tunnel where it led her to the demon's ear or throat. She didn't hesitate to jump down and scrape her daggers on the muscle wall.
The demon had had enough of it and decided to rip off his own throat so he could reach where Sasha was. He ripped his pipe and pulled out all the muscles in his neck, but it was futile because Sasha was hiding in a place where his fingers couldn't reach. His regeneration made it impossible for him because his body kept healing itself.
The demon screamed and released a fierce wind from his lungs. It almost sent Sasha away, but she held on and put everything on the line because she didn't want her effort to be wasted.
"What's he doing?" Lazarus asked as he watched as the demon kept pulling and tearing his own throat. "Don't tell me that she's inside the demon's body?" Lazarus looked surprised.
Anzel and the others looked at the demon and then looked at each other. They realized what Sasha was planning to do, and the first thing that came out of their heads was the scene where Asmond fought Behemoth.
"She knew that we can't hurt him from outside. She's planning to hurt him from inside," Gea answered. "But she's different than us. We can't get close to the demon because of the radiation. His whole body has become radioactive, it's a suicide mission for us," Gea pointed out.
Everyone looked at Gea and realized there was a method like that. Dimitri was smiling in excitement as sparks came out from the ground and covered him.
"Radiation? I'm immune to it," Dimitri said as he looked at the sparks around his body. "My power can kill cancer cells," Dimitri explained.
"Then I would like to ask you a favor. Buy me some time so I can send my army inside his body as well," Han Suk-Jin said as he looked at Dimitri.
"Do it quickly because I don't have much stamina to waste," Dimitri replied.
Dimitri turned into a flash of lightning and appeared right in front of the demon almost in an instant, and then zapped the demon who was busy tearing his own throat. He then played with the demon as he promised to Han Suk-Jin, and made sure the demon was focusing on him.
As he was busy dealing with the demon, the volcanoes started to erupt again. This time it released more lava and it was fiercer than before that they sent a lot more lava bombs. Those balls were flying toward them as if the demon had ordered the volcanoes to do that.
Kseniya kept the barrier and protected everyone from the lava bombs, and luckily her barrier was strong enough to stop them from destroying their bodies. Eun Soo kept removing the fatigue on Kseniya's body so she could keep protecting everyone without a single worry.
"The longer we fight, the more lives are taken away. How long until the rest of the reinforcement arrived?" Magnus asked.
"They should be here soon. Once they arrived, I'm sure we can kill that thing," Lazarus answered as he sat down. "I hate to say this, but I wish Mykel and his team are here right now," Lazarus said to himself as he sighed.
Anzel and the others looked at Lazarus and they realized that Mykel and his team would come. If that happened, they were more worried about Mykel's existence than the demon.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
As they were watching Han Suk-Jin's army climb the demon's body and Dimitri fight the demon on his own, they heard the sound of helicopters in the distance. Everyone looked at the helicopters approaching, and since the ground was a mess, they couldn't land. People were jumping down from the helicopters and letting the pilots leave since it was dangerous there to stay. Continue your journey with empire
Magnus and Lazarus looked at Shanka, Darius, Jeong Ahn, Ren, and Zhang approached them with their strongest members. But Zhang looked a bit displeased when he looked at the person who walked a few meters away from him. A man with dyed gold messy hair with a golden staff that he rested on his shoulders.
Han Suk-Jin turned around and looked at the man with his eyebrows raised, "So you came."
"It's a perfect opportunity for my debut," The gold-haired man said with a grin on his face.
"Who's that guy?" Lazarus asked Zhang.
"People called him the embodiment of Sun Wukong. That's all I can say," Zhang answered.
"Sun Wukong?" Magnus raised his eyebrows with a confused look.
"Monkey king, a great sage of heaven. A powerful deity," Zhang answered.
