Chapter 210 – To Save You (02)
Unfortunately, the walls of the Demon King’s Castle were not demons.
Therefore, it is destroyed with +65535 physical damage.
Although it was much weaker than the +99999 reinforced wooden sword, the damage exceeding 65,000 had enough destructive power to collapse the castle wall.
Fuuuuu–!!
The moment the Holy Sword of the World Tree, or more precisely the wooden sword inside it, touched, the wall shattered and was demolished, revealing the inside.
For a brief moment, the demons made eye contact with me and were caught up in the shock wave that followed.
Chii Iik-!!
Due to the ability of the ‘Holy Sword of the World Tree’, the demons are hit by the defense penetration effect and explode.
The attack does not hit allies.
Unless I intentionally attack or there is a special duel, this kind of splash damage does not occur.
And, Ophelia was currently recognized as my property as the ‘ultimate enslavement’.
Therefore, while all the other demons except Ophelia exploded and melted, only Ophelia, who was standing in front of the wall of the demon castle, remained unharmed.
Cheeks that look slightly haggard.
And instead of looking at me with golden eyes created from a completed lineage, she was looking at me with red eyes, which was her original eye color.
Even through countless surgeries and injections of demonic energy, she did not become corrupted.
Even though it would have been easier for her own soul to give in and become a demon, she maintained her noble spirit until the very end.
‘You didn’t give up’
Like, a second route.
Follow Ophelia and burn the world with the flame of rebellion, and at the end, defeat the Duke and open a new world.
Just as she did not give up her own soul until the end and was saved.
She also did not give up until the end even in this third route of hardship.
With the heart-shaped tattoo engraved on her her her her soul her her her wrapped around her her body her her her, and with her her her her love her level her her her fully filled, I dropped the holy sword on the floor as I saw Ophelia crying at me.
Poop!
My hands had already lost strength, more precisely, they had melted and I could no longer pick them up.
As a dream spirit, I also took damage and lost both arms, so I couldn’t put them back into the shadow bag. At that moment, Ophelia jumped over the collapsed wall and jumped at me.
Nice to meet you. Surprised. Astonishment. Sadness. And.
Ophelia returned to me in an overwhelming affection that surpassed everything.
Then, she distorted her happy face and started getting angry at me.
“How could you be here… ! How dangerous is this place… !”
“To save you.”
“…!”
“I said I wouldn’t give up.”
As I looked at Ophelia, who looked like she was about to burst into tears, I looked back at the surrounding situation.
Part of the Demon King’s Castle collapsed due to the blow just now, but since the Duke’s Castle in the real world was in good condition, it was being restored.
“Ophelia, pick up the wooden sword!”
Ophelia picked up the object where only her wooden sword remained after the ‘Holy Sword of the World Tree’fell away, and wrapped her arms around her waist, where only a trace remained, starting from her forearm her, and activated [Shadow Ninjutsu ] To its full potential.
‘And just like Chris followed me before…!’
Now Ophelia was a sacrifice to the demons.
However, because her ownership was subordinated to me as an illusion of ultimate enslavement, priority was given to me.
– Warning. If you disarm the Dark Dream without collecting more pleasure points than necessary, permanent damage may occur due to the disconnection between body and soul. Do you want to go back like this? –
“Going back!”
So I accepted Ophelia’s soul as her and took it as my own, then closed her eyes and released the dark dream.
“…Whoa!”
Blood is pouring out of my throat.
My whole body felt a sense of rejection, as if I had died once and then returned to a hardened corpse, and blood was constantly being vomited from my mouth, and the pain I had forgotten until now was ravaging my whole body.
‘Ah… This really hurts…!’
Because the side effect of the dark dream was to force the soul into a dream and force it to come out again, it was impossible to treat it with other methods, and all one had to do was wait for the soul to fit back into the body.
Just as the body is cut off or forcibly broken by forcing the swollen body into a frame made of iron, the soul is breathed back into the frame of the body.
At least because it was something I had tried once while reorganizing my body, I was able to stop at the level of vomiting a little blood, shedding tears of blood, and experiencing tingling pain all over my body.
“Whoa! Whoa… Whoa…!”
Inori, who was waiting, brought a bucket and caught the blood, and after a while, the side effects on the body finally began to subside.
“How long… Was it there?”
“Sir. You have been unconscious for about a month.”
One month?
Have I been in a spirit state for that long?
First of all, I calculated that it would take a month to get to the Duke faction’s headquarters on foot, and it seemed like that would be about the right amount of time.
When you come back, you have jumped a considerable distance in one go.
“Master. You need to rest…”
Against Inori’s wishes, I stand up and check the [Shadow Pocket].
– Old wooden sword +65535 (can be strengthened) –
– Indestructible –
– Aren exclusive weapon –
– Attack power 1+65535 –
There was a wooden sword strengthened to 65535 by Stack Overflow, and next to it…
“Ah…”
It also contained a red heart-shaped gem.
– Red Jewel (Aren only) –
– A red gem that contains the soul of a noble woman. People may think it’s just a beautiful gem, but it contains a soul belonging to someone –
Success… Done.
Now, I have rescued Ophelia’s soul.
“This time…”
Hold the heart-shaped gem tightly with both hands and bury it in your face.
“I didn’t give up…”
I felt proud of myself, and fell into a sense of happiness and relief, and I fell asleep as if passed out.
* * *
“I feel like I’m going to die.”
A little blood still comes out every time I cough.
The ability value was reduced by almost 50, but the more you collect energy using the Dark Dream, the more it recovers by about 40, and the ability value that was actually permanently damaged was about 10.
‘If I hadn’t had my abilities increased through the Five Elements of Invincible Mind, I would have died from my abilities.’
In some hard games, there is a concept called stat death…
First of all, in this Celestial Academy, the ability score rarely becomes negative, so it is not visible, but the actual ability score affects the physical strength or intelligence, so it would be really dangerous if it drops to minus.
The basic ability score is 5, but if it goes below 10, your intelligence will be -5 and you will forget how to breathe and die, or your agility will be negative and you will die because you do not have the agility to push the blood flowing through the heart.
Or, if your strength drops to -5 and you are unable to overcome your own weight, you will be crushed to death.
Fortunately, there were many people around me who could help me, so after recovering my abilities, I was finally able to understand the situation around me little by little.
Sailian was currently pushing the front line, showing his dignity as the king at the front line, and as a result, neutral forces who were impressed by Sailian joined or liberated personnel joined the royalist faction, and were now overwhelmingly pushing the duke faction.
In the process, Kei and the dragon slayers joined and played the role of a royal guard.
On the outside, she looks like a large local man or woman, but even her soldiers couldn’t help but recognize the sight of her wielding and swinging a large sword larger than her own body to slay evil Dragonians and Wyverns.
Hollyo’s forces her to have grown so much that it is now difficult to even see her face, and she is barely able to sleep as she gathers supplies from the advance of the royalists.
When she later told me that she would be given a big title, she shouted, ‘I don’t need a title, so give me a vacation!’ However, she worked hard and was like a true servant.
Sir Andre changed from the sword of the famous family to the sword of the royal family and was protecting the Sailians, while Yujiro’s father and Saori’s mother returned to the [Shadow Family] And were carrying out information gathering and intelligence work.
Richard was more talented than expected at manning troops, so he was forced to go from a heavy infantryman to a commander of a thousand men.
William… Was still a bandit, but since her two subordinates were not completely subordinate to me, I couldn’t let them become bandits near the king while I was away, so I forced them to change jobs and lost their looting skills.
‘Well, these days, it’s not like we’re going to take them out and rob them.’
As a result, William was just promoted to a warrior.
In the case of Eric, he had entered the royal faction’s sphere of influence and was carrying out heresy interrogation duties to eliminate corrupt priests. It seems that he contacted Sailian and explained the situation to some extent.
Cardinal Alfred was also informed of this, but he kept it a secret because he could not officially recognize the inquisitor.
Of course, Eric is not the type of person who particularly wants to be recognized by the temple, so he is tracking down the corrupt priests with teacher Rebecca, who has just returned.
The ducal faction was already inferior to the royal faction in terms of supplies, but they said they would replace it with demons, but they were pushed back in terms of the overall number of troops.
And since the demons were being defeated by the [Battlefield Valkyries] Who surpassed the Holy Knights of the original, the royal faction’s attack was truly ruinous.
‘Anyway, the duke faction has no more sacrifices. We can keep kidnapping people like this and gradually reduce the number.’
The party is already complete.
We captured the majority of the forces, including the students from Class F, and when the operative faction invaded with our exact timing, a power vacuum was created in the process of converting all of the troops to demons.
‘There are a lot of demons summoned to the duke’s territory, but don’t overdo it and just exhaust your power slowly.’
Just like the duke faction did for two years after the rebellion, this time all we had to do was surround them and exhaust the demonic energy of the demons.
From now on, all I have to do is jump into the front line with the holy sword and force a war of attrition.
Since the royal faction’s territory had almost reached the former ducal faction’s territory, the game was now on the verge of a happy ending.
But this crappy game didn’t leave me comfortable until the end.
Tiring-
– Global event [Time of Destruction] Begins –
– The ritual for the destruction of the world has begun in the Duke of Renellian –
– Prevent the resurrection of the devil who will be born with [The power of the perfected lineage] –
– Targets to kill: Four henchmen of Duke Renellian (2/4) / Duke Renellian (0/1) –
– Remaining time: Next solar eclipse day –
Having the [Star Wizard] Ability, I was able to know when a solar eclipse would occur.
“Until a week later… Deal with the leadership of the operative faction?”
