During Great War, Ge Des and his Demon King's Army invaded Charming Castle in an attempt to reach Giga's main castle to get his hands on the Divine Stone, which he believes holds the fate of the Demon World. He engaged and defeated multiple high rankers including Ham, Gangrim and Zhao Yun. Ge Des faced off against the first ranker, Stone. After being critically injured by Stone, Ge Des accepted Nightmare and overwhelmed the first ranker. Ge Des was eventually killed by a Haru that had been summoned using Stone's body as a medium.

Personality

Even as a youngster, Ge Des believed force with force was necessary. As the successor of the Demon King, Ge Des has a regal air about him. He's not the talkative type and does not like wasting his time with people he believes are small fry.

Ge Des keeps his horns hidden most of the time because the energy it gives instantly kills weaklings and he only unleashes them whenever he finds his opponent worthy of seeing them.

Like most demons, Ge Des believes that humans are beneath him and even scoffed at Grian Den for reading a book made by them when he was younger. As he got older, he does not seem to hold them in as much contempt as other demons who show open disgust towards humans. He also feels that it is an honour for anyone to see his Royal Horns released.

Ge Des want the demons to be on top of the food chain in Lucid Adventure and he did what he thought was best for the Demon World. He was concerned of the Demon World would be pushed out to second and eventually destroyed. This led to him and his brothers accepting the poisoned chalice that is Nightmare.

Ge Des's ultimate plan was to locate the Divine Stone that is located in the dungeon of the oldest castle in the human world. He planned on breaking the stone with the sword given by God and letting the mana flow back into the demon world. The power of the demon world is the power of the Demon King and as a true Demon King, Ge Des's wants destroy all Nightmares and humans, and reign as the true maser of the world.

Relationships

Family

Sik

Despite Ge Des' slight complaint about his father's leniency towards humans, he highly respected him and was willing to walk down the corrupted path his father had chosen. As he was killed by Haru, he remembered the happier times he had with his parents when he was younger.

Mother

Ge Des loved his mother as he too waged war against Humans after they had killed her. As he was killed by Haru, he remembered the happier times he had with his parents when he was younger.

Ruud Ra Kan

The exact nature of their relationship was never se but they did seem to hang out together when they were younger. Along with Grian Den, both Ge Des and Ruud Ra Kan were present when Sik was about to go to war with humans and they were both willing to fight alongside their father. They appeared to rule the Demon World together as the Demon Elders approached the three demon princes to convince them to join Nightmare.

Grian Den

As his third brother, Grian Den appeared to be the closest of Ge Des's siblings. Ge Des called Grian Den "den". When they were younger, they disagreed on the treatment of humans as Ge Des believed that humans should be met with force while Grian Den believed that they can't treat humans like they were simply low-level demons. When they were younger, they both created a war game based on human warfare strategy games. Ge Des never lost against Grian Den since they were kids and even when they turned into adults, that result never changed. Ge Des has regrets and wishes he had let Grian Den win a few times. He smiled after figuring out Ham's Chess rules and told said the now deceased Grian Den to "Look" as he dismantled Ham by applying the same techniques in the game that both Ge Des and Den created.

Demons

Demon Elders

The relationship between the Ge Des and the demon elders is unknown but Ge Des and his brothers were convinced by Le Zilk to join Nightmare.

Demon King's Army Generals

Gorgota, Kepin, and Tije are Ge Des' commanders and his most trusted subordinates. Ge Des respects and trusts their power as he left the disposal of Gangrim to them. The generals always show worry for Ge Des and even warned him of their suspicions that "The Crow" had set him up and pleaded for him to retreat. When Kepin was killed by I Lick Ketchup, Ge Des showed concern.

Nightmare

Ge Des accepted the poisoned chalice that is Nightmare on purpose because he was afraid that the demon world which was already pushed out to second and be destroyed. He planned to eventually destroy both Nightmare and humans after destroying the Divine Stone with the Sword of Heaven and Hell .

The Crow

The Crow, as Ge Des calls him, along with Le Zilk, convinced Ge Des and his brothers to join forces with Nightmare. The Crow told Ge Des about Charming Castle and told him that it was a chance that could not be missed and quietly suggested that Ge Des and his army invade it to get to the humans main castle. Ge Des was aware that it was a set up and that The Crow was trying to exploit the demonic power. Ge Des played along because he believed his knowledge of the Divine Stone was a card he had up his sleeve. Ge Des planned to destroy The Crow along with Nightmare once he had destroyed the Divine Stone. Unfortunately for Ge Des, Stone appeared and critically wounded him which Ge Des believed to be part of The Crow's plan. In the end, Ge Des ended up accepting Nightmare like his brothers.

Players' Union

Gangrim

Despite Gangrim being the 5th ranker, Ge Des doesn't think of him much and thought that he was just inferior much like all humans. He found Gangrim interesting as he had two personal attributes but that was it. After unsealing his Royal Horns, Ge Des quickly dispatched Gangrim and would have killed him were it not for the timely intervention of Giga's 12th Team.

Ham

Ham managed to stop Ge Des attacks and block his magic skills due to her Chess ability which surprised Ge Des. Eventually Ge Des figured out Ham's ability and easily beat her at her own game. Ge Des admitted that Ham fought well against him and didn't see the point in Ham trying to blow herself.

Stone

Ge Des was shocked by Stone's power at first but thought he was an amateur Hero. After seeing Stone use Hero's Emblem and multiple Hero swords, Ge Des realised that Stone was no amateur Hero and in fact a genius. Ge Des had to unleash of the 90% of the Demon King's Emblem and use the Demon World's power to defeat Stone and that was still not enough. Ge Des could not believe that Stone could use 3 Hero swords and handle the amount of mana that should be beyond a human's capacity. As Stone critically injured Ge Des, Ge Des realised that Stone was protected by the Dragon of Light, the co-ordinator of the world and wondered if his power was from the "otherworld".

Others

Heroes

The exact nature of Ge Des's relationship with the past Heroes is unknown but he appears to be hostile with them. He has some knowledge of the Heroes powers and abilities and even recognised the Hero's Emblem that Stone and Hero Temes' sword that Stone unsheathed. Ge Des was eager to end the long history between Demon Kings and Heroes by killing Stone.

Haru

Ge Des hates Haru and wanted to kill her in order to get revenge for his father. He was shocked at her power and couldn't believe that his father faced such a powerful being. In the end, he was killed by Haru and failed to get his revenge.

Abilities

Overview

• Ge Des and Grian Den playing their war strategy game
• Ge Des beating Ham in her own chess game

1/3

As the current successor to the Demon King, Ge Des was the strongest active demon in Lucid Adventure before his death. He had the full control of the Demon King's Army and could mobilize them according to his will. Ge Des's power was so great that he had to keep his demon horns sealed because they give up too much energy.

With his horns sealed, Ge Des easily overwhelmed the 5th ranker Gangrim and forced the player to use his true awakening.

Once Ge Des activated his horns, his presence rivalled that of an Ancient Dragon. Such is the power of a Ge Des with his horns that he single-handedly suppressed an entire Giga force that included the no.5 ranker 'God of Death form - Gangrim'.

Ge Des alone faced off against multiple rankers, Giga's 12th Team that specialises in raiding boss monsters with Divine Items and still held a considerable advantage. Were it not for the timely intervention of Ham's chess skill, Ge Des would have wiped out multiple high rankers in a single blow. He managed to outsmart Ham in her own chess game, defeating her and multiple rankers. He managed to go toe to toe with the first ranker and All-Stat player Stone. The combat force displayed by Ge Des after Ge Des unleashed the Demon King's Emblem and Stone who had unleashed his Hero's Emblem caused Zhuge Kongming to question if both Ge Des and Stone had surpassed the first ranked Hardcore Leveling Warrior.

Magical Object Creation: Ge Des is able to create inanimate constructs using magic. When he was younger, he used magic to create objects for the war game that he and Grian Den created.

Tactical Skills: As well as being the strongest demon in the world, Ge Des is also the most intelligent. When he was younger, both he and Grian Den came up with a strategy based war game based on the games humans played at the time. He never lost a single game to Grian Den. He constantly beat his brother, Grian Den, in the war games they created and did not suffer a single loss to Grian Den. Based on the war games he and his brother created, Ge Des was eventually able to deduce the complicated rules of Ham's Chess which led to him turning the tide and eventually defeating Ham at her own game. Due to facing a similar strategy thousands of years ago, Ge Des could easily see through Giga's attempts to use his own power against him which led to him destroying Giga's Coffin of Blessings.

The one who succeeded the Demon King (마왕을 잇는 자 ): A title Ge Des has due to being the current successor of the Demon King.

• Instant Death Immunity: Due to the effect of the demon who succeeded the demon king (마왕을 잇는 자 의 효과), Ge Des is immune to the curse of Instant Death. Gangrim's bullet that inflicts instant death on the target summoned the God of Death to take Ge Des's soul, but the God of Death perished.

Royal Horns Released

Main Article: Royal Horns

“You should be honored to see my Royal Horns since weaklings die instantly just by seeing these”
 ― Ge Des

• Breaking out of Gangrim's coffin
• Blocking a blow from Gangrim's Death Side

1/16

The Royal Horns are the Demon King's Horns. Ge Des, the Demon King's descendant, usually keeps his horns hidden because of the powerful energy they give off. Immediately as the horns are released, Ge Des emitted a presence that rivals that of an Ancient Dragon and beings that are inferior to him are frozen in utter fear. He is able to single-handedly subjugate Giga's army by himself. Even after various high rankers and Giga's 12th Team joined the battle, Ge Des still had the overwhelming advantage and could have killed them all were it not for the timely intervention of Ham's chess skill.

Such is Ge Des's power that the only person that has been shown to even come close to him physically is Stone, the current ranked no.1 player.

Physical Abilities: All of Ge Des's physical abilities re amplified once he releases his horns.

• Enhanced Strength: Ge Des was able to break out of Gangrim's Bier Litter with sheer force, a skill that Gangrim thought was inescapable. He easily blocked a strike from Gangrim's Death Side with his bare hand. A simple kick from Ge Des sent Gangrim flying through a mountain and destroyed Gangrim's Kynee. He easily killed members of Giga's 12th Team with a single blow to each of them. Even with Ge Des's strength reduced by Ham's Chess skill, a single blow from him tore apart and killed both Zhao Yun and Gangrim. A kick from Ge Des sent Stone's head into the ground.
• Enhanced Movement Speed and Agility: After Ge Des kicked Gangrim away, Ge Des was able to easily catch up to Gangrim. The No.5 ranker could not even see Ge Des move. Ge Des dodged a sword strike from Stone by back flipping and immediately kicked Stone's head into the ground.
• Enhanced Durability: Ge Des easily blocked Gangrim's Death Side strike without suffering a single injury. He received a shallow cut on his hand after being slashed by Zhao Yun's Blue Steel Sword that Zhao Yun claims is the sharpest among all swords. Ge Des took a blow directly in the face from the no.1 ranked player, Stone, and was completely unharmed, even counterattacking immediately without delay. Ge Des blocked Stone's Hero's Blow with his sword and did not suffer any damage.

Flight: Ge Des can fly at high speeds, levitate and stand in mid-air as if he was standing on solid ground. He may be able to do this without his horns but this is unclear.

Ethereal Manipulation Resistance: Ge Des was able to block a Bident slash from Ge Des with his bare hand. Before his horns were activated, the Bidents cut through Ge Des's essence and caused him a massive amount of damage when Gangrim stacked the strikes.

Intangibility Nullification: Ge Des was now able to harm Gangrim who he couldn't even touch before due to the latter's intangibility.

Fear Effect Inducement: Just by releasing his horns, Ge Des induces the fear effect in all the enemies with lower combat power than himself who are within a certain radius from him. It was able to even bypass the extremely high fear resistance of the God of Death form Gangrim. This effect can be removed with god-grade holy relics such as the Totem of Blessings.

Attribute Manipulation: Just by releasing his horns, those with less combat power than Ge Des have their stats reduced by 50%. This effect can be removed with god-grade holy relics such as the Totem of Blessings.

Buff Negation: Just by releasing his horns, those with less combat power than Ge Des have all beneficial status effects removed. This effect can be removed with god-grade holy relics such as the Totem of Blessings.

Mind Control: Ge Des showed some form of mind control, of which the exact nature of it is still unknown. At Ge Des's command that rang in all the Giga players heads, all the players got down on their knees. Even the fifth ranker could not refuse the command.

Enhanced Demonic Spells: Ge Des is capable of instantly generating destructive spells and blasting them from his palm. Such is the power of Ge Des's magic that General Manager Hwang believed that about 15 to 20 accumulated magic attacks of Ge Des had enough power to deal a damage of 1 billion damage points, the estimated number of Ge Des's HP. He is also able to launch powerful beams from his forehead.

Demon King Swordsmanship: As the successor of the Demon King, Ge Des is able to wield the Sword of Heaven and Hell. He is able to use powerful Demon King level sword attacks. Ge Des and Stone both clashed swords with each other and were equal to each other. Stone remarked that his hands went numb just from blocking Ge Des's attacks. Ge Des blocked Stone's Hero's Blow with his sword which caused Stone to say that Ge Des was the first person to block his genuine attack.

• Holy Relic Destruction: Due to the Sword of Heaven and Hell, Ge Des can destroy other Holy Relics.
• Holy Relic Power Absorption: Ge Des can absorb some of the power of the Holy relics he destroyed due to the Sword of Heaven and Hell.

Demon King's Emblem 90% Awakened

(마왕의 문양 90% 개방, mawang-ui mun-yang 90% gaebang) (LINE: Master Devil's Emblem 90% Unleashed)

1/3

After seeing Stone activate the Hero's Emblem, Ge Des awakened 90% of the Demon King's Emblem. After activating this, Ge Des and Stone were able to match each other blow for blow. During Ge Des's and Stone's exchanged, Stone's combat power reached 99.27% of the reference value in Lucid Ball which caused the shocked Zhuge Kongming to question if it was a battle between two beings that had surpassed Hardcore Leveling Hero in his prime.

Enhanced Swordsmanship: Royal Horned Ge Des and Stone clashed their swords at such a speed that they appeared as streaks of Light. The multiple aerial sword clashes between Stone and the Royal Horned Ge Des created a shockwave that was strong enough to cause the very earth to shake and Charming Castle began to collapse.

• Demon World Powered Attacks: Ge Des is able to use the energy of the Demon World with his sword attacks but is wary of using too much of it in a prolonged battle. His sword attack with the Demon Word Energy was powerful enough to completely destroy Charming Castle and also blow off Stone's left shoulder and leg despite Stone blocking it with his Justice Shield skill.

Nightmarization

Final Nightmarized State

(최종 악몽화 상태, choejong agmonghwa sangtae)

Please note, the webtoon did not split the transformation into phases. This was done in the wiki solely to show the different versions of Ge De's Nightmare transformation. In fact, there is no definitive difference between each versions so a few assumptions have to be made.

• Phase I
• Phase II
• Phase III

• Haru blocking Ge Des's sword strike (Season 2 Episode 78).jpg

1/14

After being critically wounded by Stone, Ge Des accepted Nightmare in order to combat Stone. As Ge Des was Nightmarizing, he was wrapped in a large Nightmare Cocoon. Like all who accepted Nightmare, Ge Des's power is amplified by several folds. He merged with the Ancient relic, the Sword of Heaven and Hell, and it turned into a pair of wings on his back.

In this form, Ge Des held his own against Haru and is able to use powerful attacks that he proclaims that can destroy the planet.

Physical Abilities: As a result of accepting Nightmare, all of Ge Des's already tremendous physical abilities are further enhanced after Nightmarization. He merged with the Sword of Heaven and Hell

Nightmare Ball attack: Ge Des created a palm sized Nightmare orb that was capable of destroying all three of the warrior swords Stone had equipped as well as causing a massive large scale destruction to the area that included Kejiten Castle and Alision Castle. In fact, the attack would have killed Stone were it not for the Dragon of Light using all of her mana to block the attack.

Meteor Summoning: Ge Des can summon 99 meteors causing massive and widespread damage. Ge Des proclaimed that the skill could destroy the planet.

Cocoon Generation: As Ge Des was Nightmarizing, he was protected by a sort of Nightmare Cocoon.

• Durability: The cocoon took no damage from Stone's Sword Dance of Demonic Destruction.
• Mental Manipulation: Due to the Mysterious Nightmare, Stone was mentally attacked and was barely able to escape thanks to the Dragon of Light's direct intervention. Thanks to the mental attack, the Mysterious Nightmare was able to read Stone's mind and buy time for Ge Des's transformation. It is unknown if Ge Des also saw Stone's memories.

Swordsmanship: Ge Des swordsmanship prowess improves in this form due to his power increase. He was able to hold his own in a sword duel with Haru, the Strongest Human of All-Time. Haru said that he was fast, unpredictable and his movements were different from the average demon.

• Energy Blades: Ge Des created two blades of energy from each hand. He used this skill during his battle with Haru. Despite Haru blocking his sword attacks, the force from his blows caused the ground beneath her feet to crack. His slashes caused the very earth to split in half.

1/7

After being hit with Haru's powerful Light beam attack, Ge Des's body responded by morphing into another form. The pair of wings on his back became a pair of arms.

Durability: Ge Des survived multiple light energy strikes from Haru and did not suffer any damage;. He boasted that his body that had become one with the ancient divine item won't be damaged by the sword of the knights.

Soul Melting Flame: Ge Des creates a huge ball of flame from his mouth and launches it at the target, it causes a huge explosion on impact. Ge Des claims that this flame can directly affect and melt the soul. Although it did not damage Haru, it created a crater on impact with where she stood.

• ..that overpowers Ge Des's blast

1/3

As Haru was preparing her final attack, Ge Des morphed into another grotesque form and launched an attack of his own. Unfortunately for Ge Des, he was killed by Haru's attack with the sword that contained the souls of the seven knights that sealed Ge Des's very own father, Sik.

Nightmare Energy Blast: Ge Des gathered a ball of energy black energy around his horns and launched it at Haru. It was countered by Haru's powerful blast from her sword.

Combat Style

When he was younger, Ge Des appeared to fight with a sword as he could be seen with one when he and his brother were sealed away by Sik. In the present time, Ge Des uses a combination of both hand to hand, swordsmanship and magic.

He usually conceals his Royal Horns due to the power it emits. Due to his overwhelming physical abilities, Ge Des is more than capable of fighting hand-to-hand. Only when he is under pressure does he release his Royal Horns to complete supress his opponents. He is capable of wielding the Sword of Heaven and Hell and using powerful demon king level swordsmanship.

As well as his exemplary magic power, Ge Des is capable of using powerful demonic magic that he uses in combination with his sword.

History

Background

At some point in the past Ge Des was in the presence of his father and two brothers. Both him and Ruud Ra Kan argued that humans should be dominated by force, but Sik told them that power dominated everything in that past and no happiness came from it.

The young Ge Des wondered why Grian Den was reading a book on human games and Grian Den explained that humans use the games to coe up with strategies and expand their ideas. Grian Den found it interesting and suggested that they make their own rules. They made game pieces and began constructing the rules for their custom war game.

In the 167th year of the Demon King's reign, Sik's wife, De Ges's mother, was killed by the union of humans. Sik was in deep grief for 10 years and he wept for 10 years. When Sik overcame everything, he got his hands on the corrupted powers and begun to write a history of human massacres. Sik realised his mistake and wanted to protect his children from his bloody path. He sealed of the three demon princes in the Sphere of Sealing which they couldn't break out of.

After the Demons were defeated in the Human-Demon War, Ge Des was sealed along with all of the demons in the Demon World by the Knights after the demons lost the war. .

Timeskip

Ge Des and his brothers were convinced to join forces with Nightmare by Le Zilk and the Crow. Ge Des and the rest of the demons were released back into the human world by Nightmare, who broke the seal placed on the Demon World.

Season 2

Beyond the Boundary Arc

At the start of the Great War, Ge Des was on the front line of the battle against the humans.

Advent of the Demon King Arc

Ge Des led the Demon King's Army's invasion of Charming Castle. He easily blocked a Dirge of the Otherworld from Gangrim's totem pole and swatted Gangrim away as the player tried stabbing him from behind with the Four Tiger Sword. Gangrim fired a bullet and the God of Death descended to take Ge Des's soul but it perished after Ge Des's Instant Death immunity was activated. Ge Des sent Gangrim flying into a rock with The Hand of the Demon King. The Demon King's Army Generals stepped in and pleaded with De Ges not to sully his hands with a filthy human. Ge Des watched silently as Gangrim fought his 3 generals and Gangrim activated his true awakening.

The God of Death form summons Death Side and begins his assault on Ge Des. Ge Des tries to block a slash from Gangrim but it passes right through him, Gangriim then used Bident to slash Ge Des and this caused Ge Des to bleed from the mouth. Gangrim then fired a bullett from his machine gun which exploded as soon as Ge Des caught it. Ge Des immediately counter attacked with a blow that blew away a mountainside but Gangrim dodged the attack. Gangrim then summons his horse and hits Ge Des with Dance of Death, which reduces Ge Des's HP to 9%. Gangrim then seals Ge Des in a coffin and just as he is about to send Ge Des into an eternal abyss, Ge Des activates his Royal Horns and breaks out of the coffin. Ge Des then blocks a strike from Gangrim's Deathside with his hand and Ge Des's passive skill, Demon King's presence, induces the fear state in all the Giga soldiers and Gangrim and Ge Des commands them to kneel. Ge Des kicks Gangrim through a mountain and breaks Gangrim's Kynee. Ge Des appears above the flung Gangrim and launches a powerful energy ball at him.

As Ge Des unleashed his magic attack on Gangrim, his blast was absorbed by multiple Orbs of Blessings. He had also noticed that his fear debuff wasn't working on the humans that warped over and was cancelled on the humans present due to the Totem of Blessings holy relic. Ge Des had a brief confrontation with Zhao Yun as he blocks her strike and attempted to blast her until it was absorbed by the holy items. He unleashes a few more blasts of demonic energy that are absorbed by the Orb of Blessings and a group of rankers arrive. As more humans came, his generals gathered around him and asked him to retreat and that the Crow must've set them up. Ge Des declines and states that he knew what the Crow was planning all along and that he too had his own plans. He summons his servant, the Vermillion Bir - Phoenix and launches it at his opponents. As the phoenix was bound and absorbed, Ge Des targeted the Coffin of Blessings, unsheathing his sword, Sword of Heaven and Hell and destroyed the relic, absorbing some of its powers as well. When the Rankers attempted to retreat, Ge Des launched a powerful attack on them but was surprised when it got blocked and notices Ham's arrival.

Ge Des notices that attacks that would have done nothing to him before had started working on him and deduces it is because of Ham. 'The System' pulls up a window with chess pieces which Ge Des deduces are a result of the conceptual barrier enforced on him by Ham's skill. A quick analysis makes Ge Des realise that he was getting damaged because of the 'rule' of Ham's spell. Ge Des is pushed back by Sun Wukong's Magic Staff and immediately counters with a powerful magic attack. His attack is blocked by Ham's shield and Ge Des's conclusion of Ham's chess abilities are further confirmed.

Ge Des can only stand and watch as Kepin is killed by I Lick Ketchup. Ge Des silently watches the game unfold and realises he's seen this flow before which leads him to recall his "war game" battles with Grian Den when they were younger. Ge Des remembers the games uses his experience with it to deduces Ham's every move. One by one he destroys all of Ham's chess pieces that includes Zhao Yun, Gangrim and I Lick Ketchup. In the end, Ham is the only player left alive and falls to her knees. Ge Des prepares to finish her off and scoffs at her attempt to blow herself up. Ham is knocked out by the arriving Stone, who then gives Ge Des a blow in the face. Ge Des, shocked by Stone's power, quickly counterattacks with a blow of his own which Stone mocks. As the Demon King Emblem on Ge Des's forehead begins to react to Stone, Ge Des deduces that Stone is the Hero of his era as both of them clash swords.

Stone avoids a sword strike from Ge Des and counterattacks with Hero's Blow but it is blocked by Ge Des. Ge Des asks if Stone has been hiding his identity the whole time an Stone denies this and states that he simply hadn't met a worthy opponent. Ge Des fires a beam from his forehead which Stone dodges. Stone then tries to slash Ge Des from behind but Ge Des backflips out the way and kicks Stone's head into the ground. Stone immediately kips up and activates the Hero's Emblem, which shocks Ge Des. Ge Des then responds with by awakening 90% of the Demon King's Emblem.

The two clash swords multiple times aerially which causes Charming Castle to start collapsing and the very core of the earth to shake. Ge Des launches goes for a final blow and launches the Sword of Darkness at Stone, which Stone responds to by bringing out his second sword and activates Justice Shield to take the blow. The strike destroyed Charming Castle and Stone's left leg and bit of his left shoulder are missing. Ge Des asks Stone if he can fight in such a condition and Stone responds by pulling out his third sword which instantly heals his injuries and clashes swords with Ge Des once again. Ge Des is shocked to see the Sword of the Hero Temes and can't believe that a human can handle the amount of mana Stone is using at the moment. Stone then blasted Ge Des with Light of Demonic Eradication which incinerates Ge Des and causes the Demon King to fall to the earth. As Ge Des body is burned to ashes, he recalls past events of how "The Crow" set him up and he willingly fell for it because he wanted the Demon World to regain it's prestige. As Ge Des dropped to the earth he accepted Nightmare and undergoes Nightmarization

Ge Des is wrapped in a Nightmare aura and begins to Nightmarize. Stone attempts to kill him whilst he is transforming and uses The Sword Dance of Demonic Destruction but he is pushed back by the Nightmare surrounding Ge Des and it mind attacks him. This buys Ge Des enough time to fully Nightmarize. Ge Des fires laser beams which destroys half of Stone's face and his left arm. After Stone instantly regenerates, Ge des immediately attacks him with a blow that destroys the Sword of the Sixth Hero. Ge Des then blasts Stone with a concentrated black ball that destroys all 3 of Stone's equipped Hero swords and completely destroys the landscape surrounding them both that included Kejiten Castle and Alision Castle. Stone survives with the help of the Dragon of Light which leaves Ge Des impressed. Ge Des then summons 99 meteors to crush Stone which forces Stone to pull out his last Hero sword that transforms him to Haru.

Ge Des's 99 meteors are destroyed by the summoned Haru. The enraged Ge Des creats two energy blades and engages Haru in close combat. They clash swords a few times before Haru blasts Ge Des with a large light beam. Ge Des is unharmed and evolves into a second form. Haru rushes at him and hits him with a direct sword attack but Ge Des is unharmed. Ge Des then pushes Haru back with a flame blast from his mouth but Haru is unharmed. Ge Des evolves into an even more grotesque form and begins to gather black energy ball between his two horns. Ge Des launches the blast at HAru but both the blast and Ge Des are overwhelmed by an attack by Haru that contained the soul of the seven knights that sealed Ge Des's father. Ge Des is killed and drops a treasure chest.

Legacy

After Ge Des was killed, he dropped a reward chest that contained his soul fragment. Stone was tricked and the reward it was stolen by Nightmare. Ge Des was one of the unsuccessful experiments used by The Crow in The Chimera Project.

Hardcore Leveling Hero awakened and has a Demon king's emblem in his left eye.
