Chapter 177 – 177 the Last Battle
Strange things attached to the side of bugs. If you take them apart one by one, it was clear that they were worthy of the curse he had carved.
Sorrow for a neighbor who throws stones at him, despair for his parents who sold him to a slave trader, anger for a slave trader who uses ruthless violence.
A person whose whole life was denied was definitely a person whose life was stained with unclean things.
The same goes for the fox-beast, whose family was brutally murdered, and who had a miserable future predicted by a slave trader.
Another one didn’t need any explanation. Because he was the incarnation of injustice created by his brother while keeping it in check.
But why? Why don’t you betray that worm? Why don’t you bother with that?
Why are you so impatient that you can’t fawn over bugs? I mean, kill me right now.
It was upset, but at present there was nothing it could do. It was because he had not yet recovered his strength enough to intervene in this world.
Out of necessity, it carefully observed the worms and the things attached to them.
It was spectacle. I was fed up with how they somehow tried not to separate from each other. Fallen beasts with only instinct left may not be like that.
I was sick of the emotions they radiated. It was on this occasion that I realized for the first time that I could suffer from headaches.
Abominable things. But the real problem wasn’t their behavior.
Power enough to destroy the playground he worked so hard for. That was the problem.
And that concern became a reality.
The bugs that were supposed to slowly destroy the world and create uncleanness, the source of their power, began to suffer one by one.
There were those who were forcibly appeased, and there were those who met an empty death. Recently, there are even guys who have been degraded to toys.
It’s a failure. The original plan had completely failed.
At this rate, far from destroying the world, there was a high possibility that even his own resurrection would be blocked.
That doesn’t work. That’s not going to happen.
“Nice to meet. Bugs.”
If perfect resurrection is impossible, then it is sufficient to be resurrected even if it is imperfect. In return, he would be deprived of the right to intervene in the world like his brother.
A second chance won’t come anyway.

“Shit. What are those?”
Two beings who suddenly appeared next to the demon wearing the mask of a mysterious man.
One was holding a huge axe, and the other was holding a staff.
Warriors and wizards. It was just such an enemy.
There was just one strange thing,
“Being alive is…Right?”
Their bodies were different from those of normal living beings.
A black body that continues to distort because it is not fixed. A strangely opaque face. And above all, I didn’t feel the vitality that a living creature should feel.
“That look…”
The saintess narrowed her eyes at the familiar figure.
I don’t know about the existence with the staff, but there is a huge axe. As for the author, the appearance almost matched what I read in the report.
“It’s long after.”
The saintess nodded her head at the words of the Crusader Commander.
“Resurrecting the dead. It is absurd.”
Janghu, the Four Heavenly Kings, was told that he was killed by Yuhane’s party. I don’t know what method was used, but the deceased was brought back to life by the Demon God.
No, the word “Resurrected” May be absurd. Now he is alive and dead at the same time.
After being killed by Mimi, Zhang Hu’s ghost returned to his master, the Demon God.
And then, it appeared here as a form of upward compatibility with the magic that Lilith often uses to forcibly give bodies to the ghosts.
There was no way that the Demon God, the incarnation of uncleanness, could not use the techniques used by Lilith, the incarnation of uncleanness.
“It is the grace of the great…Demon-sama.”
Sloppy speech. It was because the connection between the body and the soul was not perfect due to the demon’s lack of power.
But thanks to that, it became more advantageous in battle.
Due to the imperfect connection between the body and the soul, the body became incapable of feeling pain, and even if the unfixed body was damaged, it could be quickly restored until the demon’s power was exhausted.
Hehe… Useless… Sounds… That’s about it.”
The revived witch, like Zhang Hu, lifted the staff.
Then the shadows all over the cavity began to wriggle. The number of scythes far exceeded the number of members of the saintess party that appeared there.
The scythes were all aimed at the saintess party.
Even in Argon, people who recalled being cut at once by that scythe despite wearing hand-held equipment swallowed their saliva in a sense of tension.
The cutting power was also a problem, but in fact, that sickle had a strong curse that would corrode and die just by touching it.
“…I think I’m fucked.”
Upon noticing this, the chairman’s complexion quickly turned pale.
Of course now I can’t use magic properly. I couldn’t come up with a way to stop the curse of that number.
But they had a saint.
“Heavenly God. Please do not let them be consumed by unclean things.”
A group of brilliant lights poured out from the saintess who prayed with her hands together.
The smile on the witch’s face disappeared as the light clusters wandering in the air flew towards the party members and began to surround them.
Even if it rots, it’s Junchi, as expected, a saint. It was such a blessing that the curse contained in the scythe became useless.
“But…As far as the cutting power…It won’t stop…”
As the witch flicked her hand, her shadow scythes all flew towards the saintess.
Right before the fragile body of the saintess was trampled by a sharp scythe,
Kang!
“As long as I am present, I cannot inflict even the slightest wound on the saintess!”
The leader of the City of Saints swung a shield the size of his body and tried to knock down all the shadow scythes.
It was not easy to block all of them, even though the shield had the opposite power of demons.
“Keugh…”
The purpose of protecting her saintess was accomplished, but several scythes that failed to bounce left her with wounds all over her body.
“Heavenly God…”
Of course, she was quickly restored by the saintess.
“Surely, you must be the most annoying.”
Behind her, the demon god’s model, which was watching her saintess carefully, disappeared with an afterimage.
Fleeting moment. The demon reappeared right behind the saintess.
A hand full of demonic energy moved to twist the saintess’ neck.
“I can’t leave it like that.”
Fernando’s sword swinging with the force to cut off the demon’s hand.
Kaaang!
A different level of hitting sound than when the witch’s shadow scythe struck the shield resonated in the cavity.
Even though it was hard, it was too hard. I was thinking of cutting off my hand, but all I could do was change the route.
Fernando clicked his tongue briefly at the tingle he felt in his palm.
“Hmm… The human body is more uncomfortable than I thought.”
Contrary to that Fernando, the demon god seemed calm.
There was not a single feeble scratch on the hand she struck with her sword.
“It will take some time to adjust.”
Black eyes with no whites looked at Fernando.
It was a simple stare, but Fernando felt his already cold blood grow colder.
“Don’t hang out for a while. Where do you get angry? Buggy.”
A demon who changed his target from a saint to Fernando. Fernando raised his sword in response to the rapidly rushing Demon God’s attack.
Kaaang!
It’s only been one conjunction now, but it’s noticeably harder than before. The speed has also increased.
‘…Maybe this.’
Might die Thinking so, Fernando smiled bitterly.
He was still in a situation where he was at a level he could stop, but didn’t know how far it would go.
‘Can I survive until they come?’
His aura, clearly felt not far away.
From now on, it’s a race against time. Maybe the first thing is for the demon god to take his own life. Or would it be better for them to arrive and fight the demons on their behalf?
While Fernando was determined, the other side was not in a situation where they could afford that.
“Ah!”
Another life was crushed by the ax that Janghu wielded.
The commander of the Holy Knights was so busy protecting the saintess that he didn’t care about the other side.
Janghu, who decided that it would be better to deal with other variables first, was aiming for the adventurer and the chairman’s party.
“Shit! Don’t block me! Avoid as much as possible!”
Long Hu’s ax, heavier than any monsters he encountered in the dungeon, was not something humans could stop.
But it wasn’t slow enough to be dodged.
“ぅ!”
“Jay!”
It didn’t take long for the number of adventurers over thirty to decrease by half.
At least Professor Carlton, who received the transfer of the director’s mana, was struggling, but unfortunately it wasn’t very meaningful.
Like the head of the Holy Knights, Professor Carlton was doing his best to protect the head of the board.
“Die…”
As the ax that had been swinging downward came in at an angle that was against common sense, Professor Carlton hurriedly threw his head back.
Push shot.
If she hadn’t concentrated the mana that was instinctively covering her whole body into her neck, she would have been catastrophic.
“It’s brutal.”
He was wounded even though the ax did not touch him directly.
And that, while penetrating the chairman’s vast amount of mana.
The amount of mana was the mana of the chairman, who said that even if the Ancient Dragon came, he would give up the mana, but this was too much.
“I’m really going to come back.”
I’m not kidding. The monster’s ax that gets stronger and faster as it goes by.
Drinking was not the only reason he couldn’t adapt to his current body.
Is this the real Four Heavenly Kings?
“…Strength. Haste.”
Professor Carlton, who was discouraged by the situation that seemed to be frustrated, asked without looking back as vitality suddenly surged through his body.
“I heard you can’t use magic.”
“It’s not exactly that I can’t use it, it’s that I’m being disturbed! If you invest some time, this much is possible!”
Auxiliary magic such as strength and haste are very simple things by her standards.
However, attack magic, especially attack magic that is effective against that monster, is impossible.
There is no way it can be done in a short period of time to correct the formulas that are distorted by the barriers in real time. Moreover, it was clear that if he prepared such an offensive magic, the opponent would immediately notice it and start targeting him first.
Professor Carlton is protecting him right now, but it is unknown how long that will work.
“I heard that they or something is coming, so hold on until then!”
He didn’t like having to entrust his fate to people he had never seen.
But what can I do? That’s how desperate the current situation is.
“…They… Are they?”
Even though there was not a single word that identified anyone, Zhang Hu immediately recognized who they were.
Heck, in this situation, how many people in this world can stop Jang-hoo?
“I must hurry… I must!”
Because he was revived by receiving the power of the Demon God directly, his latent power far surpassed that of when he was alive.
Even as such, he could not guarantee victory or defeat against them.
***
“You’re almost there! And someone is fighting in there!”
“It is strong.”
“You are strong.”
“Are you strong…?”
Ohhh… I don’t know what it is, but I can feel it.
There, on the 60th floor!
“Let’s hurry up!”
