Chapter 516 – Betrayal
The sight of Cyrus terrorizing a woman on a floor covered in blood and flesh of a dead man did not look normal to anyone.
“Knock… Knock…”
-Chuktuktuktuk.
The woman was struggling to control her breathing, but Cyrus was just shaking her waist frantically.
In this bloody place, lust was something no normal person could do.
If it were just that, Emerson wouldn’t have been so surprised.
The blood and flesh that fell from the corpse were flowing towards Cyrus and being absorbed through his feet.
“…”
Cyrus, who was shaking his hips vigorously on top of the woman, looked at Emerson, perhaps feeling popular.
“Ah… It was Sir Emerson… What happened?”
Cyrus’ voice was so calm that it didn’t feel like he was the one who created this terrible tragedy.
However, his face was drooling, as if he had been drugged, and he didn’t stop shaking his hips.
Cyrus was now radiating a level of dark magic that even Emerson could strongly feel.
When Emerson saw that look of Cyrus, he unconsciously grasped the handle of his sword.
“Lord Emerson, please wait a moment. Now… Ugh! Wow… It’s tightening well…”
Cyrus’ body trembled as if he was about to cum.
-Uduk.
A bad sound came from the throat of the woman Cyrus was strangling.
The body of the struggling woman goes limp.
“Whoa… Huh? Are you dead? This… I can’t bear any of that… I’m sorry, Sir Emerson. Furthermore, I was going to show you a taste of the flesh of these thousand years… But without realizing it, I gave it strength. Look, I killed him.”
Cyrus clicked his tongue in disappointment and stood up.
Emerson was convinced.
The murderer rumored to be floating around the slums these days is Cyrus.
“Lord Emerson. Why are you making that scary face? Are you mad because you can’t get a taste of this worthless bitch’s flesh? Don’t worry, I’ve found a home for the other bitch as well. This time, I’ll give that bitch to you especially first.”
“… Cyrus. I’m sorry.”
“Haha. There’s nothing to be sorry about. As my lord, that much…”
Emerson’s sword, drawn like lightning, decapitates Cyrus.
“Hmm?”
Surprisingly, Cyrus easily bent his back and avoided Emerson’s sword.
Emerson’s expression hardened as Cyrus dodged his sword, which he could not have avoided.
“Huh… Lord Emerson. Isn’t it too much of a joke to try to cut off your master’s head?”
Cyrus had a relaxed expression even though his only remaining close associate tried to cut his head.
“… Cyrus. But this… Isn’t it. This…”
Even Emerson would have turned a blind eye and moved on if Cyrus had been unable to overcome his sexual desires and had scared the woman.
‘But this…’
Emerson realized that Cyrus had crossed an irreparable river.
And here he decided that if he couldn’t handle this… The situation would get out of control.
“Lord Emerson, what is it that you don’t like? If I continue to build up my strength, it will only be a matter of time before I regain my lost position.”
“…”
“Lord Emerson… I will generously forgive this mistake. I would not like to lose someone as talented as you.”
Cyrus said so, but he was examining Emerson with snake-like eyes.
“… I’m sorry, Sir Cyrus.”
“Huh… I guess… Furthermore, I can’t help it!”
-Tung.
A dark red magic orb shoots out from Cyrus’ hand. It was a surprise attack.
As if Emerson had anticipated the magic bullet being fired at him, he naturally took his stance and swung his sword.
Suddenly, a bright blue haze was blooming on his sword.
The sword imbued with Emerson’s aura cuts through Cyrus’ magic bullet. The split magic bullets bounce in different directions.
– Push!
The wall that was hit by the split magic bullet shattered.
Emerson didn’t stop there.
-Boom!
Emerson’s body leaps forward in an instant after stepping on the ground.
Cyrus, seeing this, distorts his face and creates a protective shield.
Emerson’s sword falls on the shield.
-Okay!
Although Cyrus’ magic shield was cracked, it successfully blocked Emerson’s sword auror.
When Emerson saw that, his eyes sank coldly.
Emerson quickly adjusted the handle of the sword and sharply thrust the tip of his sword into Cyrus’ shield.
– Push!
Emerson’s thrust, with its strong force concentrated on the tip of the sword, pierced a hole in Cyrus’ shield. And he dug into Cyrus’ thigh.
-Aaaaah!!
Cyrus screams.
The protective shield surrounding him disappeared.
When Cyrus felt pain and lost concentration, the protective shield was dissipated.
Even if Cyrus had rapidly increased his strength by killing in a few days, he could not withstand the sword of Emerson, a knight who had been training his swordsmanship for decades.
“Aaaaah!! Lord Emerson! Please, save me. I’m not your lord!! Are you going to betray your knight’s oath?!”
Cyrus looked like his usual self, clutching his thigh where he had been stabbed by the sword, rolling on the floor and humbly begging for forgiveness.
Such an appearance of Cyrus gave Emerson a moment of conflict.
Seeing Emerson’s conflict, Cyrus’ eyes take on a cunning light. And at that moment, he quickly created a magical bullet in his right arm and tried to surprise him.
-Clap!
Cyrus’ right arm was cut off by Emerson’s sword.
“Aaaaah!!”
“Cyrus, I’m sorry.”
“You fucking bastard!! How dare you cut off my master’s arm!!”
Even while listening to Cyrus’ swear words, Emerson quietly raised his sword.
Cyrus’ eyes, which were filled with anger at Emerson’s quiet life, turn to fear.
“Oh, Lord Emerson! I understand what you said! I-I was wrong. I’ll stay home now, so please forgive me!”
Emerson saw Cyrus’ severed arm moving slowly, trying to return to its original position. His thigh, which had been stabbed by his sword, healed quickly.
“Sorry… I’m sorry.”
Emerson closed his eyes and plunged the sword into Cyrus’ heart.
-Phew!!
“Gagging!!”
Cyrus opened his eyes and vomited black blood.
“Emerson—!! How dare you betray me—!!”
Cyrus cursed Emerson with a cruelly distorted face.
And soon, it becomes limp as if it loses strength.
Although Cyrus was not a great warlock, Emerson felt more tired than any battle he had ever fought in his life.
Emerson looked at Cyrus’ body with mixed eyes.
I planned to go back to Bianca and tell her about my situation and ask for her forgiveness.
Cyrus’ body cannot be recovered either.
Even though he was dead, dark magic was still flowing out of his body.
Emerson was planning to set fire to this place.
However, Cyrus, who was thought to be dead, regains life in his eyes. He started blinking.
“…?!”
“Whew… I thought it would take more time, but… Damn, I was in a hurry, so this is the first time I’ve taken off my clothes and entered the connection device.”
The voice that came out of Cyrus’ mouth was not Cyrus.
Cyrus’ severed arm is quickly reattached.
The surrounding blood and flesh was sucked into Cyrus, and the wound began to heal rapidly.
Emerson, who belatedly realized that something was wrong, quickly struck down his sword at Cyrus.
-Passy!!
Before Emerson’s sword could reach Cyrus, it was stopped by an invisible force field.
My grip was numb.
It was a repulsive force that was incomparable to the protective shield that Cyrus had deployed before.
Emerson gritted his teeth and swung his sword again, but he was blocked by the force field and could not inflict any damage.
– Push! Pump!
The bodies of the two men and women inside the house explode.
And the blood and flesh from the corpse began to be absorbed by Cyrus.
-Thud.
Solid muscles are built on Cyrus’ slim body.
And the skin color becomes pale.
“It’s not Cyrus! What are you?!”
“I don’t have the hobby of revealing my name to someone who is about to die, but… Well, it’ll be fine for rehearsal. I am the Demon King Gregory.”
“Demon, demon lord?!”
Gregory was able to succeed in coming with the death of Cyrus.
Originally, the plan was to completely destroy the spirit of the living Cyrus and descend. But… He was killed by this knight, so he came down in a hurry.
Emerson fell into a moment of panic at the mention of the devil, but soon came to his senses.
In his eyes, he saw that the Demon King possessed by Cyrus had an invisible force field around him and was healing his physical wounds by absorbing the blood and flesh around him.
‘… It hasn’t been long since I was summoned. There may be a chance of victory.’
In Emerson’s sword, an auror was created that had a clear shape of the sword rather than a haze.
It was an Auror blade.
When Emerson created an Auror blade that did not fit the fountain, he felt fishy blood rising up his throat.
This is something I would never do under normal circumstances.
However, there seemed to be no way to pierce his force field with the sword aura.
It was an ignorant method that could be done because the being said to be the devil seemed unable to move because he was healing his wounds.
‘If this is it!’
Emerson’s Auror Blade falls on the head of Demon King Gregory.
However, in vain, Emerson’s Auror Blade could not reach Gregory.
“Now that I’ve been summoned, did you think my strength would be weak? Well… Your guess was right. However, I’m not strong enough to be defeated by a bastard like you.”
-Boo boom!!
Emerson’s arm, which was holding the sword, literally collapses.
Emerson, unable to use his arms, gritted his teeth and threw his kicks. But even his legs were bent in a strange direction.
“Kwaek!!”
Demon King Gregory stretched out his hand and grabbed Emerson’s painful head.
‘Ah… Bianca…’
Bianca’s beautiful image flashed through Emerson’s mind.
-Right!
Emerson’s consciousness was cut off.
– Push!
Emerson’s body exploded into pieces after his head was smashed.
And is sucked into Gregory’s body.
“It wasn’t a very bad offering.”
Gregory, who absorbed the life force and magic that flowed from Emerson, said.
The vitality of the strong is of a different quality from that of ordinary humans.
Cyrus’ body, which absorbed the blood and flesh around him, grew larger and turned into a giant over 2 meters tall.
Cyrus could no longer be seen on that face.
Demon King Gregory has descended on the slums of Crea.
