Chapter 130 – Battle to Subdue the Demon King
“Emil, Karina! Everyone runs away!”
When the Demon King pushed us away with force, we looked into each other’s eyes and ran forward again. Shio and Erina supported us with their holy power and magic and attacked together.
Aya started shooting condensed arrows and adjusting them herself.
An arrow that leaves the bowstring must only go straight forward, but an arrow that contained wind was on a different level from other arrows.
Even though he was searching for and avoiding enemies on his own, he was moving freely according to Aya’s will.
“Hwiik!”
When Aya whistled as if giving instructions, the arrow rose once and then came down, attempting to pierce the devil king’s head.
Chang!
The Demon King, who struck down the arrow with his sharp claws, seemed to be bothered by the arrow and created a chain with black magic power to try to crush the arrow.
“Let’s go quickly too.”
“Yes!”
While Aya was drawing attention with an arrow, we ran at high speed and swung our swords and fists at the Demon King from our respective positions.
This time, he used his wrist to slowly swing the sword as if drawing a half-moon so that the opponent could not predict it.
Emil was honest, yet strong and wielded her holy sword at a fast speed, and bright particles remained where her holy sword passed, as if they were injecting her divine power.
Karina is…
Bang!
Believing that her body had strengthened, he ran straight ahead and punched her in the face.
‘This worked!’
Karina, who was standing in front of her, had already punched the Demon King in the face. Emile and my sword was about to get stuck in the other person’s body.
Aya’s arrow was even close to piercing the devil’s neck.
But why…
Are you smiling?
Even though I was in danger of death, I got goosebumps at the sight of him smiling and quickly looked around.
Maybe it was because I was burning my mana and running at the fastest speed, but the world seemed so slow. And the moment I slowly look around.
I ended up encountering the devil’s red eyes.
Bang!
“Cough… What on earth…”
Just before the blade touched down, an explosion was heard, and Karina, I, and Emil were instantly blown back.
The moment we flew back, we looked up to figure out what was going on. I saw something flying in front of my face.
Kaaaaang!
I tried to block something black flying in front of me with my sword, but what came back to me was something else.
‘I cut it out, but it’s too heavy!’
I thought I would strike it down easily, so I put my swords together, but the moment the swords made contact, I felt a heavy feeling and instinctively realized that I would be the one to get hit if I didn’t do it with all my might.
“Chain…?”
When I stabbed it with a knife and calmed down a bit, I found out the identity of something that had been targeting me.
It was a chain floating in the sky. It could hardly be called an ordinary chain, but it was black and exuded an ominous aura.
Dangerous. If you hit that head on, the entire area you hit might be torn off, let alone the bone.
He held Nia tightly and lifted it towards the Demon King.
The Demon King just looked at us with an expressionless face without any thought, and behind her, numerous chains were aimed at us.
“Emil. “Can you fire something like a beam like before?”
“Of course.”
“Me and Karina will hold out, so let’s join Erina and Aya and fight them all at once.”
Afterward, Emil nodded his head up and down without saying anything and slowly walked backwards toward her rear line.
Karina and me, who were looking directly at the Demon King in front, looked into each other’s eyes for a moment and decided on the timing to run.
Karina closed her eyes twice quickly.
‘Now is the time.’
Bang!
As soon as I interpreted the meaning, Karina ran forward at a breakneck speed. However, since I was not behind in speed, we ran forward side by side and split into two halves.
“It’s meaningless.”
Clap la la rock!
You can see chains flying slowly in all directions. But I didn’t think I could hit them all.
It was quite difficult to strike them all down because each one was very strong.
Kang!
He swung the chain that was flying right in front of him from the bottom up and threw it away. I cut it with determination, but instead of being cut, it ended with only sparks flying.
Good!
By my standards, I was too fast to avoid the chain flying to the right, so I held onto the blade of my sword to avoid getting hurt.
If things continue like this, there will be no end… I could feel the amount of chains flying towards me and Karina from earlier increasing. If we continue like this into a long-term war, our chances of winning will decrease.
It’s so sad…
A little more, a little faster…
As if all the muscles in my legs were being squeezed out, the mana in my body was also burning up. As the mana accumulated in her body began to come out little by little, it began to turn into electricity and her sparks began to fly.
‘Run forward like this all at once.’
Crrrr!
I ran forward at lightning speed and dodged all the chains flying at me. There was a saying that overwhelming speed was equivalent to acceleration of time.
The world gradually slowed down, and my consciousness began to speed up.
Bang! Charalak! Chacking!
Avoid what you can avoid, and hit with your sword what you cannot avoid. Speed is power.
I felt a little safer than before because I was able to dodge all the chains that I had to throw away with just my speed.
‘You can just do it like this.’
However, contrary to my expectations, the Demon King’s skills were even better. Black thorns suddenly sprouting from the ground and chains suddenly filling my surroundings.
Finally, from a distance, I saw the indifferent face of the Demon King, as if he was just seeing something natural.
“Oops!”
Bang!
“Laneell!”
The moment the chains and thorns were aimed at him, the sound of something being smashed was heard and dust began to fly around.
Shio and the others who were watching from afar were momentarily startled and tried to run, but soon stopped their actions and began preparing for one last blow.
Because…
“Seuuuuu!”
Because he flew up just before blocking, and was coming down at high speed while looking at the Demon King in the air.
‘It’s hard to avoid in the air… You have to get down quickly!’
The biggest difference between fighting on the ground and in the air is probably movement.
Unlike ground warfare, aerial combat is limited in your actions if you cannot fly freely, so races that cannot fly tried to end everything on the ground as much as possible.
Kang! Cheaeng!
Even before I reached the ground, I had blocked all the attacks coming at me, but perhaps due to the circulation of power, my body began to keep rotating.
‘This can’t be stopped!’
Something with two chains twisted tightly like a rope was flying towards me. There was no way I could strike them both at the same time, as it was too much for me to strike them down with just one sword.
At least the damage should be reduced.
He brought both arms in front of his face and prepared for defense.
If you are unlucky, two of your arms will be lost, and if you are lucky, you will be able to save one.
I closed my eyes and prepared for the shock that was to come, but no major shock came to me. When I opened my eyes little by little and looked ahead, the chain in front of me was passing by me without hitting me.
“Oooooh!”
Chuck.
As soon as I returned to earth, I checked to see where the devil was.
While the Demon King was interfering with me, he seemed to have forgotten Karina’s existence and ended up leaving the distance. Holding one of her horns and her arms, Karina pursed her lips and began to give her strength.
She tried punching her stomach or her arms with her fists to make Karina fall, but Karina didn’t fall as she was giving her strength so much that her muscles all over her body were lifting into the skin.
“Wow!”
Bye!
One of the devil’s horns was broken. As soon as Karina, who was exerting a lot of strength, broke her horn, she was pushed back by the Demon King and flew this way, probably because she had used up all her strength.
“Ha, haaa… Cough. Damn… I think three of my ribs are gone.”
Karina, who had broken her horn while being hit by her, was breathing heavily, holding her side as if she was hurt.
If she was injured, it would have been nice if she could have been healed by Shio… Since Karina is a demon, the sacred power of Shio, her saint, would actually be poisonous.
“I don’t know if it will be effective, but take it.”
“Ah… Of course, it should work.”
I stepped forward, handing Karina the potion I had grabbed last time. Potions help with recovery to some extent, but they do not restore stamina.
“I broke off one of her horns, so she must be weaker than before.”
“Horns?”
“Demons store magical energy in their horns… At least their strength must have weakened to some extent.”
After listening to Karina’s words, I felt that my magic energy was definitely less than before. The horns were a weak point.
Even though one of the horns was missing, I was nervous as I saw the overwhelming magical energy being released, but I held on and moved forward.
Parking!
Before I could run, I struck down the flying chain with my sword.
‘I’m really weaker than before.’
It was difficult to cut off the black chain before, but now it seemed like I could break it.
I looked back to see how prepared I was, just in case.
Emil closed his eyes and put all his divine power into the holy sword, and Shio also gave his divine power to Emil and prepared for the final blow.
Aya and Erina were adjusting their arrows to bounce off the chains flying at Emil.
‘I hope this ends…’
