Chapter 154 – Battle for the Ending (1)
Episode 154: The Battle for the Ending (1)
‘As expected, I entered the dungeon with Daphnell Evelot.’
Daphnell is confronting Lesilia with a gloomy aura far away.
The reason why the hero was able to easily enter the difficult dungeon in Disaster Mode was also thanks to Daphnell’s black magic.
Daphnell, who had taken off her cloak, was in a bad state of mind even from a distance.
Dull colored hair and eyes.
Even the unique mana she possesses has been consumed by demons.
In the meantime, the black magic has been used explosively, and the mental collapse has progressed a lot.
“Hey, can you afford to look away from me?”
Chaeeng!
The sound of the wind cut menacingly, and Retina’s face came closer.
A holy sword colliding with a demonic sword. There was an uncomfortable aura in the pure white glittering blade.
At the same time as her eyebrows furrowed, another blade came in.
The old longsword that drew horizontal lines was also imbued with divine power.
A divine being born where the holy sword was broken. It was a sword reinforced with the root of the so-called World Tree.
“Is it because it’s a battle that hasn’t been fought in a long time? It seems that the fake Demon King’s skills have decreased?”
“I don’t think I have any intention of returning anymore.”
“Because I’m in a position where I can’t die even if I want to die thanks to someone.”
Visor-
Stepping back from her with a clear note, Retina touched her sword back.
Looking up and down, he was wearing equipment reinforced by the roots of the World Tree.
‘I’m wearing the same equipment I wore when I was playing the hero.’
A set of sacredly enhanced equipment and a holy sword.
It resembles the last hero character Kwon Kang-han played.
Equipment sets I had only seen in games popped out in real life, but I felt a little déjà vu.
Only then did I realize that the ending was approaching.
“I will finish here.”
The long, long chase is over.
The battle between the hero and the demon king was the climax of the last scenario in the game and the final destination of the ending.
Ikarut lifted the roaring demon sword and placed it on his shoulder.
The aura surrounding the greatsword was huge, like a jet-black dragon descending.
Although Lesilia and Daphnell, who are quite far away, living to the point of chilling is terrifying.
Retina, who accepts it head-on, is very indifferent.
Rather, she even pranks her by spinning her holy sword.
“Are you planning to break the holy sword on purpose this time too?”
“Why would you break my precious holy sword?”
Retina turned her head and glanced sideways at the dead boss mob.
When you kill a monster in a specific nest, a crack in the gate occurs, resulting in a temporary warp.
In the beginning of memory, this was called completing a dungeon quest.
It was restored to its original place through warp.
“I was helpless because my last plan was twisted. Now I know that you are not the real demon lord.”
A small gap appeared in the air.
Warp was being created little by little.
“They are ready to cause bugs, so you just need to be the catalyst.”
After her words, Retina smiled.
At that moment, the shadow under Ikarut’s feet grew longer.
Quaang!
It attacked the warrior as it was.
***
An explosion so loud that it hurts my ears.
Lesilia covered her ears and spontaneously looked up at her.
In the dust storm, two figures were aiming their swords.
The warrior and the demon king fought a life-threatening battle with one thought to kill each other.
“Ah… No… If you go on like this, the hero’s life will be… ”
Lesilia’s eyes were filled with despair.
If the hero really dies, the story here is over.
A world that can no longer be restarted.
Another meaning of the end has come and the entire world, including himself, disappears.
“Master is in danger… “
Even Kwon Kang-han, possessed by Ikarut, could disappear.
This was not the ending the saintess had hoped for.
“Couldn’t you be the one in danger right now?”
Daphnell’s voice broke the thoughts running through his head.
Slam!
The whip that appeared out of nowhere struck her on the floor, threatening Lesilia.
“… If you intend to fight me, you better quit.”
“I have no intention of fighting. But I don’t think these kids are.”
“Kieek… Kreuk… Krukreuk… “
“Kuweek… “
Daphnell blew his fingernails and straightened his body.
The corpses of monsters that were dead and scattered were staggering to their feet.
He moves his body like a zombie and moves his dead eyes here and there.
It was like looking for something to kill.
“I thought I would double plant the forbidden resurrection magic in communication magic… “
“If you can use a spell to turn back time, I can use a spell to resurrect a dead creature. Alas, isn’t it surprising? Following the magic he admired so much, he said he perfectly uses the forbidden magic.”
“This is against the laws of nature! Daphnell, you have committed a terrible and ugly sin!”
“Me?”
Daphnell looked like she didn’t know anything.
At that moment, Lesilia, her chills rising, wrapped her arms around her.
She distances herself by stepping back as if to protect herself.
Then the zombie corpses prick her ears.
Glances around.
At the end of it, there was a saintess.
“Geuk… Grrruk.. Keueek!”
“Keuek! Kuweeek!”
Carcasses running past Daphnell.
Even though he was blinded by her holy power early on, he used his hearing to find a target to kill.
“Please give me your blood.”
Daphnell rips his mouth open, laughs.
Lesilia quickly created a protective barrier.
“Kreuryuk… Kreuk… “
“Eek! That’s right… !”
“Grrrruk… “
The corpses surrounded in a circle continued to charge at each other with a terrifying appearance.
Bumping with the torso or scratching the barrier with only the forefeet
Judging from the simplified attack pattern, it seemed to be moving without intelligence.
Vulnerable to close combat, Lesilia continued to spread her holy power beneath her barrier.
Demonic energy became the heart of the corpse revived by black magic.
If you purify the magic, the black magic will disappear by itself, and the soul caught in the afterlife will return to its original state.
Dig!
Lesilia put her hands together and took her prayer pose.
A pure white aura appeared and settled all over the floor.
“Hey, wow… ! Kreuk… “
“Guruuk, Kieek… !!”
Thud! The densely packed corpses fell one by one.
The weakness of black magic was holy power.
A few even writhe in agony from the suffocating aura.
“I thought it would be quite strong because they said it was a strong monster here… It’s disappointing.”
Daphnell presses the neck of the rolling corpse with her shoes.
Kwajik, even though the neck bones were broken, the body of the rat trembled and showed minute movements.
The power to break a monster’s neck could not come easily from a normal female body.
“Really… Did you just make a contract with the demons… ?”
“It’s a conditional contract to become a test subject. When she drank the experimental potion for the first time, she suffered only side effects of vomiting blood and rotting her fingernails… I’m fine now. Rather, I think my body has become refreshed.”
Daphnell deliberately stretched.
Lesilia was again wary of the act of showing off her power.
“In my heart, I want to tear you to pieces… Even Retina says no, and the demons who signed the contract say no… So sorry.”
Regrettably, Daphnell tapped him on the chin.
And, as if thinking of something fun, I curled my index finger under her thumb and tucked it into the air! Bounced.
“Ah, I’m obsessed with making forts. Would you like to take a look?”
“What… !!”
The unstable soul had frequent changes of mind.
Knowing this well, Lesilia tried to stop it, but the situation had already happened.
Widely!
Daphnell smiled inexplicably and snapped his fingers again.
At that moment, the bodies exploded as if they were about to explode. The corpses of monsters that died again spouting black blood.
Lesilia was immediately taken aback by the brutal scene.
But it was just the beginning.
Quadduk… Kwadeuk.
The fragmented bodies wriggled and reattached.
Her head, torso, limbs, and limbs were put together like a jigsaw puzzle around the cohesive demonic energy.
The monsters that were joined together made a painful noise.
Daphnell just looks at it with curious eyes.
“Gee!!”
The corpse of the monster whose body pieces were connected had become a chimera.
Lesilia instantly felt nauseated.
Daphnell, who looked at the dead creature like a toy, was terrified.
“Look at this! Isn’t it so beautiful? Me who could only use 2 circle magic! I was relegated to the streets of Zarata without being recognized by my father as Baron Ivelot! They used forbidden magic that even the great sage couldn’t use!!”
Daphnell covered her cheeks and smiled in joy.
“You don’t know how much my pride hurt when I asked the old emperor to keep an eye on those filthy, ugly streets…Innocent saintess, do you know what the streets of Charata are like? Oh, you saw it too. Yes, I was trained outdoors by my trainer. So was it good? Hey, did you like it?!”
Daphnell was spitting out words in the stream of his consciousness as if a screw was missing somewhere.
She frowns, then smiles broadly or cries sadly.
Daphnell’s mind collapsed by eating an unknown experimental potion on the body that accepted the demonic energy.
“I have become a wizard beyond a great sage. Your blood is needed to keep the contract with the scientist going. Besides, if Retina’s plan succeeds, the trainer will be mine!”
“Ah, ahh!”
Chimera screamed and ran to Lesilia.
Pak! As I hit my body with all my strength, the surroundings shook as if an earthquake had occurred.
It stung her eyes, so Lesilia covered her eyes with the back of her hand.
When she opened her eyes, the barrier was slightly broken at the part she bumped into.
‘Is this really the end of the world that Gaia wants?’
Looking at the corrupted Daphnell, Lesilia despaired.
The fate of everyone living in this world is completely messed up.
Even if she wanted to intervene in a life that was out of flow, she kept silent because she was a saint who could not go against the providence of the world.
The truth of the world gradually revealed.
Her cruel oracle was visible only to her saintess.
And she, thinking that she could not meet beyond her dreams, came over to this place.
Goddess Gaia, who declared the end of the world, gave her oracle centered on Kwon Kang-han.
Among them, there was an oracle that she clearly remembered.
[Another error occurred in the redesigned scenario]
[A world that has already been created cannot change the main character]
[Goddess Gaia said she would die of annoyance, so she went into redesign so that she wouldn’t make mistakes]
.
.
.
[The protagonist of the scenario is a warrior]
[If the hero dies, the world will end]
The hero’s death predicted the end of the scenario.
The world perishes.
It was a truth that only the goddess and saintess knew.
“… If the hero deliberately chooses death in order to return, we must prevent it somehow.”
Lesilia, who whispered softly, glanced up and looked at Ikarut, who was engaged in a fierce battle.
At first I felt a sense of sadness, but then I felt a spleen determination.
“Queueex!”
Thud! Cooong!
A chimera that keeps crashing into each other.
Incontinence was quickly drawn in the barrier. The gold that each made was connected to one and collapsed.
“Come on, give me your blood!”
Daphnell whipped the chimera on the back as if whipping a horse.
The Chimera howled and lifted her paws as her master commanded.
“Sorry. I can’t put the people I love at risk anymore.”
Perong!
Lesilia burst out with her holy power.
