Chapter 385 – Episode 385 – The Demon King. Last 3 Phases
The overall tide of war is already tilted in our favor. However, no matter how advantageous you are, if you are defeated by the Demon King, the war will be overturned at once. In the end, the most important thing was this battle.
“Just die!!”
Kelly charged at the demon king, swinging her great sword. It would have been reckless if he were alone, but Tonya, who was once said to have skills that rivaled that of the Demon Lord, and Set were together. Plus, Frenya’s covering fire. The Demon King’s magic area, which is difficult for an ordinary swordsman to penetrate, is torn apart by Kelly’s great sword.
“Hey!”
And in that gap, Tonya’s magic quickly penetrates. The Demon King, who was trying to move and avoid, flinched and looked at his feet. Set’s shadow art momentarily suppresses the Demon King’s movements.
Kwakwakwang!!!
A magic that directly hit the devil. However, it was not an effective attack either.
“I didn’t know you were hiding this kind of power. And set. Are you clearly planning to commit treason now?”
The Demon King’s body was only slightly scratched. He first hit Kelly, who was blocking his way, with the back of his hand. He quickly blocks with the broadside of his sword, but Kelly is helplessly thrown back. And then the devil immediately rushes towards Tonya. Tonya looked very nervous, and her magic power boiled over. Just by looking at it, Tonya is a force.
Although it is the same black color, Tonya’s magical power, which seems to be lighter than that of the Demon King, begins to fade. Tonya continued to use cruel magic to kill, but the Demon King’s movements showed no signs of slowing down. Even Set’s shadow art cannot be stopped. Even if he grabs the shadow, his strength is so strong that he just pulls out his foot and tries to grab Tonya’s neck.
There is no reason to just open your eyes and see.
“Haaaaab!”
Aiming for the moment to approach Tonya, I ran towards the Demon King with the “Death” That had been condensed into my sword for a moment. The Demon King stopped his steps to avoid my sword, which caused Frenya’s arrow to lodge in his shoulder. Although he will recover, there will be damage due to Ray’s divine power. Using the moment of slight twitching, he stabs the sword straight in.
Kyaang—!
“Fuck. Are you blocking this again?”
“Your ‘death’ is soft.”
“What is there to do when you are ready to die? Charlotte!”
“Hmm?”
Charlotte’s sacred sword suddenly appeared from behind and cut through the demon king.
No, I almost missed it.
The Demon King quickly kicked me and blocked Charlotte’s sword. How many times have I blown what was clearly an opportunity?!
“Four years of “Life” Are too short.”
“What do you know… Really?!”
Charlotte narrowed her eyes and gathered her life force explosively. Charlotte’s holy sword shines brighter and draws several lines to cut her demon lord into pieces. It’s an onslaught that the undead can’t withstand, but the Demon King blocks it one by one. However, unlike when he was fighting with me, he seems to be having a bit of a hard time. The Demon King’s power was not compatible with Charlotte’s power. I join back in and start pushing back against the devil.
It wasn’t just me and Charlotte. Tonya, Set, and Frenya and Kelly, who received the blessings of Saint Ray, were sufficiently threatening to the Demon King. No matter how strong you are, there will be no business in front of you.
It was difficult to deal a fatal blow to the Demon King.
But little by little, little by little, the Demon King’s immortality begins to crack.
“Ugh!”
Kelly is unable to withstand the devil’s attack and falls down. She won’t recover immediately from this battle, as her greatsword was broken and her side was struck. The same goes for Tonya and Set. Set, who was trying to return to the shadows, is picked up by the Demon King and is immediately thrown back to the ground and faints, while Tonya vomits blood and collapses due to reflux of magical power. And, perhaps because she thought the arrows that kept flying around were annoying, Frenya was already lying on the ground.
But me, Charlotte, and Saint Ray still remain. I gathered all my remaining strength and crashed into the devil.
“Aaaaa!!!!!”
The battle that took place earlier was not meaningless. As Charlotte and Ray continue to beat him using their divine powers, the Demon King’s recovery ability slows down. I decided that if we took more time, we would be the ones to suffer.
The devil’s sword pierces my side. A great deal of pain came, but this level was no problem. Immediately grab the devil’s arm.
“Hmm?”
“Screw you… Throw it away!!!!”
Charlotte was better than I at being able to inflict effective attacks on the Demon King. Charlotte’s sword, which was additionally strengthened by Ray, pierces the devil’s stomach.
“Ugh.”
The Demon King groans. I let go of the Demon King’s arm that was holding me, escaped the sword stuck in my side, and took a few steps back.
“Ugh… Ahhh!!!!”
“Get some relief!!!!”
Charlotte, bleeding from her forehead, screamed with bloodshot eyes and clenched her arms. The warrior of life and the saint pour their all into it.
The sword stuck in the Demon King shines brighter, and white light scatters around the sword and begins to cover the Demon King’s body. With the sound of lightning, the demon king is purified. It was so dazzling that I opened my eyes again and saw the devil kneeling.
“Haha…”
Charlotte gasped and pulled back her sword that had stuck to the Demon King.
Now really… Is it over?
First, I looked at Kelly and Frenia, who had collapsed, and although they were unable to properly control their bodies, it seemed that their lives were not in danger.
“Daron! Are you okay?”
When it seemed like the situation was almost settled, Ray ran towards me first.
“Whew. It stings a bit.”
“If anyone sees it, they’ll think I’ve been pricked by a needle!”
She had been stabbed properly by the devil. The organ was narrowly avoided, but since it penetrated the body, blood was pouring out. Ray quickly began suturing the open wound.
“I’m done, so first take a look at the fallen people. “You never know.”
“Okay. Still, you don’t have to make it bleed.”
Ray cried and finished first aid first. In any case, due to the energy of death, it will take some time for Ray’s divine power to completely heal my body.
Come to think of it, Odelia said that the goddess of death was targeting me.
“As the Saint of Death, I should treat the Hero of Death, right?”
Then, a dark-haired woman appeared next to me and she gently touched my side. I got goosebumps for a moment, but the pain faded away quickly.
“Odelia.”
Since she is a saint of death, I thought she wouldn’t be able to recover, but something like this is possible. I’m still in doubt, but I guess I’ll be okay now that I’ve been treated.
Odelia stares blankly at the Demon King who is kneeling on her knees. Her entire body is black as charcoal, and she can barely breathe.
I have to finish it for sure.
As she raised her sword and tried to approach him, her demon lord’s mouth moved.
“My cause… Is this how it ends?”
“To fight for that damn cause. I’m getting tired of listening to it.”
“Are you sad?”
However, Odelia answers.
“Odelia. Sorry… Okay. In my power… Looks like it wasn’t enough… It is.”
Odelia stared at the Demon King with serious eyes that had never been seen before. What were the two talking about? And what was it like? Before returning, or when we just fought, I didn’t see any real emotions on the Demon King’s face… What is that now?
I’m sorry.
And… Love.
“It was destined to end up like this anyway.”
“Fate is… This is truly awful. So many… Even though it caused death… “Are you saying it’s not enough?”
“It’s not enough. That’s not enough to kill the goddess of death— “I guess this bitch would have said that?”
“Gagging?!”
O’Delia suddenly jabbed her hand near the demon lord’s heart.
“Wow… You… You. “It’s not Odelia.”
“Hmm. I never would have guessed that you and this bitch were planning such a wild plan. “I didn’t know you had that much hidden power.”
All five senses become instantly sensitive. Intuitively, I came to the conclusion that I couldn’t just leave those two alone. It seems the same was true for Charlotte. Charlotte and I jump towards the two who are getting closer to completely finish off the Demon King at the same time, and to cut down Odelia. The goddess Ceres inside Odelia’s body looks at me and opens her mouth.
“It’s not too late. It’s not like you could have stopped me anyway.”
A gray haze rises from the heart of the demon king captured by Ceres.
“Nice… Aaaaa!!!!!”
The Demon King roared, instantly sending out a huge shock wave around the area. I grit my teeth and try to point the sword at the Demon King, but—.
“Ugh?!”
The devil’s fist sticks into my stomach. And the wound that had just temporarily closed opened again. But there is no time to suffer. Grab the sword and swing it!
But why?
My death energy does not move.
“You are deprived of being a hero.”
I can hear it clearly… The voice of Ceres, borrowed from Odelia. At that moment, my arm that was swinging the sword is crushed, and my body floats in the air with a dull sound.
“Ugh—!”
My body touches the ground again and pain spreads throughout my body. This is not the time. You have to wake up. You have to stand up and fight. Gather all the remaining magical energy you have—.
“Ugh.”
My arms don’t rise. Ray is running towards us from afar. I want to tell him not to come because it’s dangerous, but I can’t even open my mouth properly.
“Huh, oh, oh…”
The Demon King is coming toward me with the sword he dropped before I knew it.
… Am I going to die like this?
You can’t die.
Move.
Move… !
Before he knew it, the Demon King was raising his sword in front of him.
And swing it.
Blood spattering before my eyes.
It wasn’t my blood.
… Charlotte?
“Aaaaah!”
Charlotte blocked the Demon King’s sword and at the same time swung the sword with all her energy and strength. The Demon King must have been caught off guard for a moment and was greatly pushed back by Charlotte’s strike.
“Ha… Ha…”
Charlotte looks back at me.
“… “You.”
“I’m not doing this because I’m sorry… Everything?”
Although he simply blocked the devil’s attack, his power caused blood to burst out all over his body. And blood spurts out from the area where he was just stabbed. Unlike my side, the area near my internal organs was stabbed properly.
“Fuck. Ha… I also… “I can’t do it.”
With those words, Charlotte collapses.
Just like the last time before returning… The holy sword falls on the floor with a metal clanking sound.
