Chapter 1701 – Storage Warehouse
[Kkkk.]
What? New technology?
Make the energy of death your own?
Hardesh put a sneer on his lips, but his smile quickly disappeared.
‘What is it?’
Morale like pitch black.
It is concentrated at one point and is swirling so violently that it is reminiscent of a black hole.
Considering that even a small amount of that black energy is enough to instantly kill a powerful warrior with a single blow, it is a miracle that Yeodere has survived so far.
‘But what is it?’
Just a moment ago, it didn’t seem strange if I died at any time, but now I’m not just holding on, I’m moving my body.
As if that wasn’t enough, it seems like fraud is gathering on this guy…
[…
Suddenly, several memories passed through Hardesch’s mind.
Those memories were all about Dre’s uniqueness, which was his survival or miracle in impossible circumstances.
A sense of crisis and instinct set off an alarm, and Hardesh chewed his lips.
Kwakwakwakwakwa-!!
“Huh?”
Dre made a blank voice.
The morale that had enveloped Dre was loosened and scattered.
Swoosh-!!
Suddenly a hole appeared in the air.
Morale quickly escaped through a hole like sewage being sucked into a sewer.
“What are you doing?”
Dre said as if it were pathetic, and Hardesh grinned.
[I thought of a way to make you suffer even more.]
“Aang?”
[I would rather kill your colleagues than you. That would be even more painful for you.]
Hardesh giggled like a child at the end of the sentence.
When he, the owner of the energy of death, laughed, the energy of death also trembled and the world shook.
Most beings would feel chills and shivers when they see the current Hardesh.
But Dre is the pick. I laughed and gave a mocking look.
“It’s up to you to say it, right? You’re saying you’re scared after all, right?”
[I? Could it be to you?]
Hardeshu made a dumbfounded face.
[Don’t be mistaken. Eight days. Monster king. Goddess of magic. Yuna. If it weren’t for those special beings, you would have died to me a long time ago. Literally like a bug.]
“That’s true.”
Dre admitted what he had to admit.
There is a big gap between Hardesch and the person he is now.
But.
“Isn’t it true what you told me just now?”
[…
Hardesh remained silent, maintaining a mocking smile.
But my insides were boiling.
Just like I said. I felt a sense of crisis.
If things continue like this, Hardeshu’s unique power. The energy of death may be analyzed and used by this guy.
Look at this moment too.
There’s still a small amount of fraud left clinging to his body, but he’s fine.
Rather, it felt like he was feeling something as he touched the dead energy with his hands, as if it was familiar.
Even though it is not a power directly emitted by the body, but rather a remote control, the energy of death…
[… See you later.]
Can you be relaxed even if your colleagues die?
Pot.
The illusion of Hardesh melted into the spirit and fell into the hole.
After a while. His illusion emerges from the storehouse of power and is above the sky of the Four Stars. He was looking down at the waterfall of the Milky Way.
“Hmm?! Sky!!”
The elites of the Holy Kingdom immediately noticed the anomaly and unleashed divine power.
The energy of death confronted him.
Cuckoo cuckoo cuckoo.
The silver sky where the Milky Way twinkled was painted pitch black, and occasionally purple and black lightning flashed.
The pillars of light emitted by the five holy nations were slowly fading away as they were eroded by darkness.
“Thank you, Sosa.”
The scholar was thrilled.
It’s not because Hardesch’s appearance is visible.
Together with Homun, we destroyed the warp facility to prevent Hardesh from coming here in person, but we thought he could at least welcome us.
However, he did not expect that even an illusion could produce this much power.
‘The power stored in this world… Was this much?’
The amount of death energy visible now was extensive enough to completely cover a world the size of this country.
All that black thing in the sky is the energy of death.
If that energy descends and lands on the ground, annihilation is inevitable.
Are the strong Kaitz or Garcinido, or Amr or Azria, who are showing more divine power than expected, an exception?
Power enough to make the warrior party feel despair.
Indeed. Yuna’s warning was right.
What if Hardesh’s body uses this much power? It was terrible just to imagine it.
But. Even though we attacked as quickly and powerfully as possible, we faced a crisis.
‘I was mistaken.’
As I was witnessing the monster king, a being like a true god of this world, I had forgotten the ‘subject’.
The monster king will crush the four great demon kings to death like bugs, but it is only a monster king.
Humans have never properly defeated the Four Great Demon Lords.
Even the eight days were limited to surprising them or forcing them to retreat, and they never won from the front.
Unless Kaits, the hero, steals his money, there is no one who can defeat them… At least not here.
Even in the warrior party, the most cool-headed and cool-headed scholar has forgotten about resistance.
The others had nothing to say.
The believers of the five holy countries trembled in fear due to the terrible power of magic and fraud, and could do nothing but radiate divine power and pray.
“Judge.”
“Oh. Please hear our prayers.”
While listening to the priests’ prayers, Dia thought idly.
Can I cut that thing down with the power of God?
… At least, it’s impossible for me right now.
“The end, is it?”
Someone chanted.
It was Ziggs.
Azria, who was standing next to him, also thought of the same words.
The end of the world.
‘Oatmeal, me?’
I don’t know.
If you maximize your divine power without worrying about the load on your body, you might be able to survive.
But I’m not sure.
If so.
If I was really going to die, I wanted to be next to Dre, not Ziggs or something.
That moment.
Paaaaa…
The light flashed.
Hardesh, who had been looking down at the humans like insects, smiled and saw the light.
Like a small sun, it was the light emitted by Kaitsu Hiro.
It was a warm and encouraging light, but now the darkness was so intense that even that light seemed faded.
[Congratulations. Kaitsu Hiro. You will achieve your goal.]
Neutralizes the power storage warehouse that Hardesh had hidden away. The purpose itself will be achieved.
Step. Kaitsune does not purify and eliminate power.
Hardesch will be ‘consumed’.
This means that an enormous amount of death energy, enough to cover this huge world, will be poured out without hesitation to kill humans.
[Hero. How much can you save this time?]
At the end of the sentence. Cuckoo, cuckoo. The black sky fell.
Instead of screaming, the sound of prayer rang louder.
The prayers recited by priests were converted into divine power to combat fraud.
The black sky stopped.
Hardeshu frowned in displeasure.
[I never thought that the power that the gods compromised with demon energy would yield results. Haha. Master Lee. Your eyes are truly accurate.]
Even if the main body is not on site, the power of those things can block it even for a moment.
But there is a way.
“Oh!!”
“Oooooh!”
The hero party, saints, and warriors suddenly turned their heads at the cheers that erupted out of nowhere.
Above the sky. Beings who were as dazed as humans, but not filled with fear but with a sense of omnipotence and respect. It was the joy of the demon kings.
They were engulfed in the energy of death, and their power output was increasing several times, dozens of times.
“Phew! What!”
The scholar gritted his teeth.
The Demon King basically has infinite magical energy, but there is a limit to his output.
The level of the devil is determined according to the output.
The demon kings here are mostly the demon kings of the second purgatory.
Those demon lords now have a power that ridiculously surpasses that of the top demon lords of Purgatory 1.
‘You can strengthen it this much with the energy of death?’
Is there no penalty for accepting the energy of death that dries up everything? It was something I didn’t understand at first glance.
‘By any chance, does Hardesh have some other power besides the energy of death?’
It was not the time to think about such things.
Literally living disasters were on the move.
Demon kings are almighty masters and gods. Follow Hardeshu’s orders and return to the ground. It was shot down.
“Everyone dies!”
“This is your grave!”
“You dug my own grave! You idiots!!”
The demon kings laugh warlikely and pour down like a meteor shower, and morale falls like night falling on them.
As he boasted that he had brought in the best talent from the five holy kingdoms, no one was filled with fear and just stood still.
Brave. Saint. Everyone, including Kaits and his party, prepared to intercept the Demon King.
The readiness for death was written on their faces.
“Tsk.”
Kaitz clicked her tongue.
‘I tried to save it, but I couldn’t help it.’
If this continues, everyone will die.
This is the power I saved for later to deal with the true devil.
It is a power that must be used against at least the Four Great Demon Lords.
But it’s okay.
‘I have acne.’
If it’s him, it will give us new possibilities.
Kaitz believed in him and released the seal of light in the desired place in his body…
Kwaaaaa-!
A loud noise exploded from the ground.
What else? The people who were watching made dumbfounded faces.
What was rising from the ground was not a dark, black flame, but a red and warm flame.
Bukuooooo!! At the end of the wildly erupting flame was Dre.
What he is aiming for is the ocean-like energy of death.
[… Block it.]
Hardesh’s soft cry with wide eyes.
Even without Hardesh’s words, the Demon Lords instinctively realized that the current Dre and the flames he was wearing were unusual.
“This guy!!”
“Stop!!”
The devils rushed in.
The strengthened ones are powerful enemies that even Dre can’t handle.
But these are not colleagues who just watch.
Puppuppuppuffpuffpuffpuff-!!
Divine power exploded countless times, like spectacular fireworks.
The explosion of divine power that continued to be fired around the saint and the warrior could not kill the demon kings with opposing energies, but it was possible to blow away their bodies with shock waves.
Meanwhile, Dre plummets into the dark sky. I took a dip.
Kurrrr…
A small sound rang in the sky.
The center of the black darkness was colored red and hot.
Bukuooooo-!
In the middle of the darkness, an afterimage of a flame was visible.
The afterimage soon grew larger, revealing its presence in the middle of the darkness.
“Oh…!”
“Sun…!!”
Priests.
In particular, the religious fanatics put their hands together.
Now their faith is their god. And it was in the light of the sky.
Kwakwakwakwakwakwa-!!
The flame gets bigger and bigger.
Dre isn’t really putting in any effort.
That flame is growing in size, burning the darkness and the energy of death.
“Huh!!”
The scholar laughed with a puzzled expression.
Is that even possible?
“That damn guy? That’s the energy of death?”
The power of Hardesh that Kaitz could never completely block, even if it repeated countless times.
A flame that spreads by using that terrible power as firewood?
“Dre. Have you made the energy of death yours?”
Hardesch felt the same astonishment as the scholar.
[You guy… You really analyzed my strength…!!]
Kwachak!! Before he could finish speaking, a red-hot slash cut off Hardesh’s head.
An illusion of the Deathlord glared at Dre with eyes filled with hatred.
No. Rather than hatred, it felt like jealousy.
“Get out of here you idiot.”
Dre raised his middle finger.
“I’ll come visit you in person soon.”
The illusion of Hardesh slowly disappears.
Just before that. The energy of death that has not yet ignited pours down on the devils.
This guy didn’t just disappear.
The demon lords have become even more powerful than before.
“Ah. You bastard.”
Dre frowned at her.
He was out of breath, and it was obvious to anyone that he was exhausted.
It burned the same energy of death as the great sea, but it was surprising that it stopped at this level.
“Eight days.”
“You die today.”
The demon kings, who were trembling with a sense of omnipotence due to the tremendous strengthening of their power, surrounded Dre.
Kwaaaaang-!
He fell to the ground due to a pillar of light falling from above.
Kaitz flew next to Dre.
“Eight days. Please purify me.”
“Kates. Please take care of your little beggars.”
After a short conversation, the two people each flew towards the energy of death and the demon lords.
About an hour later.
Hardesch’s ‘storehouse of power’ was completely neutralized.
The owner of the energy of death felt it.
Wow!
The armrests of the throne shattered in his grasp, corroded and turned to dust.
Anito, who was sitting in front of him and crossing his legs, blinked and asked.
“What? Did something happen?”
“…”
Hardesch had anger in his eyes for a moment.
With that tremendous force, his knights who were standing in Anito and the three loyal female demon kings took a step forward.
His demon lords, including the Freedom Demon King Pendrum, who was standing behind Hardesh, also took a step forward, and Hardesh raised his hand to stop him.
“Nothing happened.”
Okay. Nothing happened.
It’s okay to give ‘that kind of thing’, it’s okay to not give it.
It was a move I was sparing at, but the real ‘treble’… Is in a ‘place’ that can never be neutralized.
Hardesh thought about it and gathered his thoughts.
But.
No matter how hard I tried to control it… The flame that burned the energy of death.
That special talent has not disappeared from my mind…
