Chapter 152 – Trap – 4
“Damn…”
Sorian was slowly approaching in a feeling that seemed to be a mixture of dizziness and pain.
Contrary to his leisurely sarcastic attitude, his movements were cautious.
Under normal circumstances, he would have smashed it head on even if there was no gap, but the force felt from the hand holding the sword was very unstable.
“I heard it’s a deadly poison that even kills dragons, but it looks a lot better than I thought. “I have to kill him for sure.”
“I will take charge of the left side, so you dig in from the right side.”
The monster, which was seemingly severely injured, cut its own body without any hesitation.
As a result, the arm that was dangling due to the wound being torn upward from the heart area fell to the floor with a thud.
The guy calmly took an attacking stance as if his body was not being damaged and closed the distance between him.
“What a convenient body.”
No matter how undead they were, the expectation that their combat power would drop due to losing an arm was being shattered faster than light.
The sword he was holding in his severed arm was floating in the air.
Three swords full of deadly force.
It is nearly impossible to withstand two types of attacks with sophisticated swordsmanship and flashy attacks that are so difficult to react to in your current state.
“Do not worry. When you die, the Demon Lord will put your body to good use.”
“Squeeze out as much as you can.”
If you are a demon king who resurrects dragons as undead, it would be entirely possible to use my corpse.
If that happens, I will live as his slave forever.
A slave who has no free will and cannot choose his own death.
It is a more terrible and miserable ending than falling and dying on the street.
“If my body is taken over by the devil, it will be difficult for them too, right?”
I looked at Sorian to try to separate him, but the will in his eyes seemed stronger than steel.
“Ironically, thanks to you, there is a lot of time left before the Demon King attacks. It’s something that can be resolved in the meantime.”
“That’s the craziest thing I’ve heard today.”
Clearly, the Demon King’s army suffered a huge blow when their true identity was discovered and their plan failed.
However, that does not mean that he is a match for a noble brat.
No matter how powerful a noble may be, he or she is only a great being within the framework of the nation.
It is not enough to be an opponent of the devil who is targeting the entire continent.
“If you’re serious, you’d better open your head and check for yourself right now.”
“I have eliminated many political opponents. You are going to be one of them. “Nothing is impossible for me.”
Sorian’s arrogant eyes were full of confidence.
However, with his cloudy eyes, it was difficult to say that he had made a rational judgment.
Eyes filled with obsession and anger for power.
His face, with its twisted smile, was uglier than the trash thrown in his gutter.
“There’s no point in saying anything anymore.”
Before we knew it, the distance between them had become close enough that it wouldn’t be surprising if an attack occurred right away.
When the distance was sufficiently narrowed, Sorian and the monster glared at me from their spot, and an ominous silence flowed around them.
“Die.”
What broke the silence after a while was Sorian’s dry voice.
However, the dry voice contained implicit anger.
Chang—!
A sword in the sound that precisely penetrates the gap.
I parried the attack as quickly as possible, but the monster’s attack from the other side was penetrating a critical point.
“Fuck…”
Instinctively, I cursed and swung the sword in the opposite direction again.
Even though I exerted as much strength as I could, my body was much slower than usual.
In the end, he struck down two swords, but one left a deep scar on his arm and he returned to where he was.
“Ugh… I can’t even defend myself properly.”
Originally, it was an attack that could be blocked by strengthening the skin with mana.
However, in a situation like now where the body is in disarray, it was a threatening attack that one could not let down one’s guard.
In my current state, the best I can do is to barely react to the attack.
“Don’t rebel like that. “I’m going to die anyway, so wouldn’t it be better to die in peace?”
Sorian’s dark sneer scratched my ears unpleasantly.
Above all, the most annoying thing is that it is difficult to refute his words.
A dying body and two enemies carefully tearing the flesh apart.
In the worst situation, the survival instinct was blaring warning lights loudly.
‘If you continue like this, you will die.’
No matter how hard you try, if there is nothing you can do, the only thing that awaits you is a slow death.
Even if it was a bit of a stretch, I had to find a way to solve this situation.
“Really… Today is an unlucky day.”
“There is no day as unfortunate as the day a person dies.”
I continued to counter-attacks while listening to Sorian’s lame jokes, but the taste of blood in my mouth only got stronger and the situation continued to worsen.
‘Wouldn’t it be possible to use blood?’
A thought that suddenly passes through my mind.
The most powerful of all poisons is flowing through my body right now.
If so, wouldn’t it be possible to use it as a weapon?
While I was worrying, my body was breaking down to the point where I no longer had time to even consider the possibilities.
“Have you given up already?”
Ignoring Sorian’s taunts, I gather as much mana as I can from my body.
What I gathered was significantly less mana than usual, but that alone made me feel pain as if an awl was traveling through my blood vessels and tearing my body apart.
“It looks like you’ve given up, so I’ll kill you cleanly.”
When the pain stopped moving, Sorian swung his sword with great vigor.
A sword digging in to pierce the throat.
There was no way to avoid it, but there was a way to counterattack.
Right in your mouth.
“Hehe!”
Sorian’s confident face was suddenly distorted in a vicious way.
Soon, blood filled with poison hit her face, and he hurriedly retrieved the sword and tried to wipe her face.
“Uuuuu…!! “
Sorian sat down, rubbing her face with her sleeve and dropping her knife on the floor.
As she was experiencing it firsthand, there was no doubt about how quickly the poison spread and destroyed her body.
He was moaning harshly and blood was flowing from all his pores, including his eyes.
“Kaaaaak…! This… Interest profit…! “
Due to the overwhelming physical difference, Sorian’s body was destroyed much faster.
His death is almost certain.
Ignoring the dying man who was unable to fight, I looked at the monster and his face was distorted in shock.
“I took care of one… The rest are just undead.”
“I never thought they would use such a method…”
Although he was taken aback for a moment, he readjusted his fighting stance and carefully prepared to attack again.
But on the other hand, my body had no strength left to defeat him.
“This fight is a victory for me who survived!”
He looked at me with a puzzled look at the sudden declaration of victory.
It’s like looking at a crazy person.
The guy who didn’t know what I was going to do was rather cautiously raising his guard.
If I had known, I would have rushed in instead of watching the situation carefully.
“Are you crazy?”
“Well…”
Currently, Sorian is poisoned, and his death is confirmed.
And this guy is already dead undead.
In that case, if I run away like this and survive, it will be my victory.
Even if you meet him again, all you have to do is go back to the mansion, recover, and then take a step back.
‘I’m not sure if I’ll succeed because my physical condition is so bad…’
Squeeze out as much mana as possible and pour it into the artifact.
The concentration displayed in a situation where death was imminent was surprising.
Even if I spent all my mana, there was hope if I could just return to the mansion.
Because it is inhabited by a powerful dragon and a witch who joined hands with the Demon King.
“It’s a shame I didn’t get to see you get killed, but I have to go first!”
It was only then that he realized the situation when an intense light emanated from the artifact.
However, it was a late regret and there was not even time left to swing the sword.
“Kuuuuu… “
What I saw right before my vision blinked with pure white light was Sorian’s face with a mixture of anger and desperation.
*****
“···”
All that remained in Eugene’s lost space were dying nobles and undead monsters.
The two, who didn’t expect him to have the ability to escape while in a poisoned state, could do nothing but look at the place where he disappeared.
“Kuuuuu!!”
Sorian’s cry full of pain and anger.
The voice that echoed around the surroundings was full of ugly anger, but it rang hollowly without finding a target.
“Eugene···! Profit on interest…!!”
His end, waiting for a painful death, was miserable itself.
