Chapter 72 – Demon King Savnak (1)
===================
The battle between Bariteon, the black monster, and Borges lasted for half a day and eventually ended in a draw.
Savnak praised the high elf warrior leader for fighting on an equal footing with his loyal people.
And after the fight
Savnak rose from his throne. Except for the moment when he left his seat, the demon king, who had been sitting on the throne for a while, looked on and watched, but when the demon king moved, the elves who were watching him showed a nervous look.
“I will step out.”
Savnak opened his mouth.
The red-haired demon king said he would step up and grabbed the crude sword that was leaning on the throne.
The Demon King goes out directly.
The elven knights who witnessed this swallowed dry saliva and barely held the weapons with trembling hands. A demon lord clad in immortality’s favor. For her elves to go to war herself would mean her death.
“Your Highness does not need to come forward personally. We will take care of it for you.”
Said the ghost rider.
At the words of a loyal follower, Savnak shook his head.
“I want to check the level of the elves myself. The character Bariteon Trident was indeed a great warrior. Because there were so many good warriors, those hateful elves were able to withstand the onslaught of our forces. So I want to let them know. What is the personification of the demon king…. And that I’m out of line with trash like Agares.”
At Savnak’s further words, the ghost rider lowered his head and backed away from him.
The evil spirit knight came out.
She signaled to the ghost rider who had blocked the demon king, “Let them enjoy themselves.”
“Beat the drum.”
“It’s a fight in which His Majesty the Demon King himself takes part.”
The undead soldiers who play the role of a military band in the army of the demon king began beating their drums.
The green-skinned orcs blew their trumpets so loudly that their chests swelled. And the standard bearers of the Demon King army lined up left and right, paving the way for Savnak to advance.
“Oh, it comes….”
“That woman is the Demon King… !”
The elven knights looked tense as they gripped their weapons.
The army split left and right.
It was a force of tens of thousands. The troops paved the way to open the attack route for the demon lord. It was like the parting of the Red Sea.
As the army split, the Demon King appeared. The demon king of the heatwave had a young appearance that could only be seen in his mid-teens. He didn’t have a look of ferocity anywhere. But the elves were trembling in fear. It was because of the sense of intimidation that Savnak felt, and the fighting spirit that oppressed him as if he wouldn’t even allow him to exhale and breathe.
“I am the demon lord of the heat wave, Savnak. I am the king who will punish you elves from now on.”
Savnak, with a rough-looking scrap metal sword hanging down, said to the elves glaring at him.
Her voice wasn’t loud.
But as the elven host on her battlefield focused all her attention on her, she could hear her demon king’s declaration of war.
“Courageous warriors step forward. Even loyal knights stand up to me. Elves who gave me an indelible shame and original sin, from now on you will pay for the mortal sins of your ancestors with your lives.”
The moment you say that,
Savnak kicked the ground and charged towards the elven army.
It was as if a red fireball had been shot out. With a red shadow, Savnak reached the head of the elven army.
“Ugh, ugh!!”
The elven knight bravely charged at Savnak, brandishing his sword.
But that’s all.
The elven knight fell out with great scars from Savnak’s scrap sword.
All other articles were the same. No elven knight could match Savnak’s opponent. It was impossible for her to stop her step for a second or block her sharp blade. As she was trampled on one-sidedly, she had to open the sea of blood overflowing with red blood.
“Eh, for the country of elves!”
“Knights, attack the enemies of the priest!”
“Never back down! We are the Knights, the knights who protect the Liberia elven country!”
The elven knights did not back down.
I forcibly pulled my trembling legs and stood in front of Savnak. They did not run away even though the bodies of their comrades who had been killed in the previous fight were everywhere.
Savnak praised their bravery, placing a hand on his chest. But he had no mercy. For a knight to die fighting an enemy in war is to be praised, not to show mercy. That’s why Savnak decided to greet all the elven knights who stood in his way with a proud and honorable death.
“Try to drop my head, Elf Knights.”
Savnak smashed the elven knights with her rugged scrap sword, swinging like a windmill.
The limbs that had lost their owners sprang up.
The screams of the elven knights filled the battlefield with bloody fountains.
Elf knights flocked from all sides. Death was frightening and fearful, but nonetheless, he did not run away and confronted the demon king. The demon king greatly welcomed their deaths. He paid his respects to the loyalty and honor of the knights with the strongest blow without superfluity.
“O black grudge, burn. Rise up, red flames. My path will be full of blood and corpses. All deaths, come to me.”
Savnak, who slaughtered as many as 300 elven knights in a short moment, recited a short prayer.
His whole body was covered in blood.
But he wasn’t in a bad mood.
These drops of blood dripping down his fingertips must be proof that I am alive on the battlefield. Drenched in the blood of elven knights, Savnak dangled his blood-stained scrap sword, waiting for his next foe to stand in his way.
“Yes, you guys should come out.”
Savnak smiled.
Guardian knights who defend the elven country.
The 12 warrior commanders of the Liberia Elves began besieging Savnak.
A total of eight warriors, including Bariteon, who fought fiercely with the black monster, Borges, stood in the way of the demon king. Almost all of the personnel, except for the warrior chief blocking the border with the kingdom of Valua, were put into battle with the demon king.
“Ardena Valencia.”
Savnak uttered the name of the heroine leading his warrior chiefs who stood in his way.
Ardena Valencia.
A high elf knight who feels the remnants of El Cid, who gave me the humiliation of an irreversible defeat.
She was armed with El Cid’s sword, with her armor emitting a dark green glow. A famous sword adorned with blue jewels. She was the weapon that El Cid used when he tore the body of Demon King Savnak to pieces.
“… I won’t bring out the old past. The reason you came out with that sword must be to defeat me. El Cid’s famous sword will be indispensable when dealing with the Demon King.”
Savnak’s clear, glass-colored eyes flashed.
However, the glassy eyes began to turn red. The glass-colored eyes, which gradually began to turn red, became red eyes that blazed like flames.
It was a disprove that the demon king invoked the power of heat wave.
* * *
Eight warriors swung their swords aiming only at the demon king.
After avoiding the quick swords of the twin warriors, Seira and Emily, he defeated Bariteon’s theory of eternity. Then, he scattered red slashes while avoiding or repelling all the attacks of the warrior commanders who launched an offensive.
“Bloom, flame.”
As he swung his scrap metal sword into the air, a column of hot flame soared.
The elven warrior chiefs retreated for a moment.
Savnak used the gap to approach and hunt the elven warrior chiefs.
“Fire, sing, fire, give me strength. Burn, everything. Burn it, swallow it Flames of the heat wave.”
Savnak threatened the elven warrior chiefs who stood up against him as he chanted prayers ceaselessly.
It is foolish to argue about numerical superiority against the demon lord. Sabnak has never been defeated by anyone except El Cid. That said, no one could claim victory against Sabnak unless El Cid stepped in.
“Huh!”
“Gaaaaa!
A warrior armed with heavy armor swung a heavy mace and charged.
The warrior commander with the bastard sword also joined in, aiming for Savnak from both sides. The intention was to incapacitate the demon lord by striking the final blow all at once.
“It sucks.”
As Savnak spurred his ground, he evaded the blows of the mace and bastard sword.
The small Savnak deformed the axis of his body while floating in the air. With his body leaping and a quick swing of his sword, he caused the two warrior chiefs to fall backwards.
Overwhelming fighting ability, situational judgment derived from experience. And even the martial arts he had accumulated over hundreds of years of pushing himself to beat El Cid. It was difficult to find any deficiencies in any part. The use of the power of the heat wave was only brief at first, and Savnak pushed the limits while dealing with the warrior chiefs only with swordsmanship.
“Ardena!”
Savnak shouted and charged at Ardena armed with sword and armor.
There was excitement on her face.
Ardena Valencia. As long as there was no El Cid and the Demon King Slayer, he was the only opponent who could defeat him. That’s why Savnak sent a lot of expectations to Ardena.
“Savnak!”
Ardena also swung her sword, putting Savnak’s name in her mouth.
She used her master’s sword.
As she slashed her sharp blade, Savnak’s scrap sword was removed.
Then, while wielding the theory of eternity, Bariteon entered the battle. El Cid’s energy grew stronger. Savnak sensed El Cid’s aura from Ardena’s armed sword and armor, and from her spear held by Bari Theon.
“Shut up the blow, frozen blizzard.”
Baritheon loudly proclaimed the theory of eternity and created a cold chill.
Ardena, who was at a close distance, blocked her coldness with the energy emitted from the white flower’s armor. However, Savnak, exposed to the cold, had no choice but to be exposed as it was.
She froze in an instant.
The demon king’s body was trapped in the ice of the theory of eternity. But even that was short-lived, and red flames erupted from within the ice, shattering it in an instant.
“It wasn’t bad, Ardena. But that’s not enough.”
Savnak gripped the hilt with both hands.
Soon after, he slashed the scrap metal sword horizontally and blew away all the 8 warrior commanders, as well as the elven troops surrounding him.
A hot firestorm raged.
It was an attack with firepower that instantly evaporated moisture and completely incinerated living beings. Thanks to Ardena and Bariteon’s slash, the firestorm was somewhat reduced, but it was still enough to drive the commander and troops at once.
“Yes, you can.”
Savnak, who had created a firestorm, looked at his shoulder.
There is a wound on his shoulder.
It was quite deep, and his blood dripped.
Despite the bitter pain, Savnak could not hide his joy. He didn’t just block the firestorm, he attacked me. Savnak, who was allowed to attack with Ardena’s speedy sword, laughed happily.
“Then stop this one more time.”
Savnak raised one arm of him.
And she pulled as hard as if she was trying to pull something out of her.
Red-hot balls of fire appeared.
Bullet-sized fireballs appeared in the air, threatening the elven army. Numbered in the hundreds. It was clear that he had been preparing for an attack ever since he fought the elven warriors while wielding his sword.
“Are you saying that you were preparing for a large-scale attack from the time you fought us? Despite being surrounded by tens of thousands of soldiers….”
Bariteon murmured.
To that, the Demon King replied.
“Tens of thousands of troops? What do you mean by that? The Demon King is a monster that makes all things in the world tremble in fear with his very existence! Did you think that I, the demon lord, would tremble just because I put up the advantages of the majority!!”
Savnak threw out his fist.
At the same time, red meteors that existed in the sky began to fall to the ground.
Red rain fell.
It was like watching the end of the world. Ardena, who watched the fierce flames, glared at Savnak and the meteor shower in the sky, binding all the energies emanating from her armor with her sword.
