Chapter 449 – 449. Sword King (2)
===============================
Have crossed the realm.
After going through many adversities and difficulties,
Finally, Savnak was able to reach the realm of the Sword King.
What she was given after she attained enlightenment was an intangible sword that was said to be able to cut down all things in the world. It was a miraculous power that was allowed only to those who wielded a sword.
“… Vampire, I’ll cut you down.”
Savnak, who was in a bloody state, took his steps while trying to urge his body that was about to collapse at any moment.
The Sword King’s eyes followed the Vampire Queen.
Hiding in the dark and hiding,
An evil monster who sits on the throne of tyranny after repeating evil tricks over and over again.
The vampire queen, with her coveted blonde hair hanging down, stared at Savnak, who, after all her twists and turns, managed to slaughter even her 5th and 6th rank grand dukes, with her tired eyes.
“How… , How on earth can the agents of hell be defeated?”
The agents of hell, who had been purging countless renegades without exception for eons, were defeated.
It is impossible.
How could something like this happen?
Savnak’s come-from-behind victory was an unexpected result that even a tactician skilled in cunning and trickery could not understand.
“No, you don’t have to understand. Savnak… You’ll end up dying here. There is nothing more useless than paying attention to a being who is about to die.”
The vampire queen, who had opened her eyes wide and radiated her astonishment, suddenly appeared relaxed.
It was not difficult to see why.
1st Rank Grand Duke,
Baal.
For the idol of apostasy guarded her vampire queen’s side.
Even though he saw with his own eyes that Marvas and Valefor were cut in two by the intangible sword and met their end, Baal showed a very unconcerned look.
“Baal… !”
Savnak, who was breathing hard while dripping blood, spoke his name in a voice full of vigilance.
Forgot for a while
The supreme being who leads the grand dukes of hell.
Sabnak felt dismayed because he had temporarily forgotten about an existence with both absolute power and prestige that even the six demon lords could not dare to challenge its authority.
-I didn’t know that Marvas and Valefor would be defeated.
A middle-aged man in old-fashioned clothes took a step closer and opened his mouth.
Splendid insignias adorned their garments,
The curtains clashed against each other as they walked, making a cold metallic sound.
The Grand Duke of Hell, wearing a black cloak that came down to his heels, was at ease even though Savnak, who had reached a new realm, was glaring at him with an intangible sword.
-Don’t jump to conclusions, descendant of the heat wave.
Baal warned Sabnak, who was scattering ferocious vigilance as if he was about to rush at him.
Hwaaak-!
The cloak fluttered violently, and grotesque-looking grips rose from within.
Just as the dead who were condemned and sent to hell waved their arms wide in agony, the hands protruding from Baal’s mantle stretched out their fingers as they touched the air.
– The trial is over. Since the agents died without being able to punish the renegade… Acquit you
The agents lost their lives without being able to finally judge the defector.
So that,
Baal, who witnessed the trial as an observer, acquitted Sabnak.
It is not because of winner-take-all reasons.
This is because the Demon God who revere power will surely raise the hand of the one who made a wise decision.
So Baal finally acquitted Savnak, who survived.
“Innocence… ? Why… ?”
-Because the demon has raised your hand. If it weren’t for the demon’s guidance, there wouldn’t have been a miracle that overturned the overwhelmingly unfavorable war situation.
Through Baal’s answer, Savnak learned that he worshiped the demon god like a fanatic.
I was dubious, but
In the end, Savnak obtained acquittal from Baal.
Thanks to this, Savnak, who achieved a hard victory, was able to avoid the worst outcome of being killed by Baal.
“What are you talking about! Suddenly innocent!”
The Vampire Queen, who had been waiting for Baal to deal with Savnak, shouted in a shrill voice.
What the hell are you talking about,
Lucy Vampir couldn’t understand Baal’s remarks at first.
Isn’t Sabnak staggering his body covered in blood? With just the finishing blow, he would be able to end Savnak’s life and obtain the magic core of the heatwave.
-Innocence… That is exactly the will of the Demon God, descendant of tyranny.
The idol of apostasy, clad in a black cloak, gazed at Lucy Vampir with eyes that flickered like wisps of fire.
The vampire queen, under Baal’s gaze, shook her slender shoulders.
A feeling of fear crept through her body.
Just meeting her gaze made her realize that she would never be able to defeat the presence in front of her.
“… Kut!”
Eventually the Vampire Queen gave up on urging her Baal and she took a step back.
Baal was acquitted.
To disobey the result was tantamount to denying the demon worshiped by Baal.
The tyrannical demon king, who had a cunning and meticulous personality, never acted recklessly against Baal. He was just waiting for Baal to return after completing his business.
‘Soon, Savnak will collapse with all his might. And the magic core of the heat wave will be mine.’
The result doesn’t change.
Savnak is a terrifying monster,
Currently, she was struggling to even support her body on her two legs.
Now, I can defeat that monster.
She was not the one who would foolishly miss her golden opportunity to kill her heat wave demon lord and usurp the demon core.
-I’ll go back now. Indeed, it was a great fight, descendant of the heat wave.
Baal raised the corners of his mouth in salute to Sabnak, who won the duel.
And after that,
Moving the grips that were wriggling under the cloak, he lifted the bodies of Marvas and Valefor, which had become cold flesh.
Good luck.
As if moving meat from a butcher’s shop, his hands moved the corpse.
In time, the corpses of the princes were sucked under Baal’s black cloak.
“A funeral… Are you planning to pay?”
Savnak asked.
At that, Baal shook her head.
-We are beings given the role of agents by the Demon Gods. Nothing like death could dare to interrupt the role that the demon god has given.
Like the demon king who was favored by the immortals, the grand dukes belonging to the highest ranks were also immortal beings.
If there is something different from the devil,
In order for the grand dukes to be resurrected from the dead, a resurrection ceremony was required.
-I’ve lived for an eternity… This is the first time.
Baal let out a voice close to laughter and stretched out his hand.
Kwajik-!
A crack formed in the empty void.
With a single gesture, he opened the passage to Gehenna.
“Hey! Hey, what is this… !”
Stepping into the passage leading to the demon realm, Baal grabbed Lucy Vampir with his grip ejected from under the cloak.
At the same time Baal left, the Vampire Queen, who had planned to attack Sabnak, who was in a dying state, and seize the magic core of the heat wave, was caught in her grasp and let out her screams.
Pan-!
Eventually, Lucy Vampir was forcibly held by Baal and taken to Gehenna, the underworld.
* * *
Savnak was left alone as the violent upheaval swept away.
Dump.
Savnak sat down on the dirt floor.
Maybe the tension was relieved after seeing Baal and Lucy Vampir left for Gehenna in the underworld. In her moribund state, she fell to her knees, helpless to the point of appearing helpless.
“Savnak has fallen!”
“Now that Baal and Lucy Vampir have departed… Then, is it okay to kill Savnak and claim the heatwave magic core?!”
Beasts covered in blood can no longer reign as mountain troops.
The wolves who watched cunningly,
I will cut off the breath of a beast that is slowly dying.
It is a good opportunity to occupy the demon core of the heat wave and become one of the six demon lords. Dark, ambitious demons gradually gathered around.
“Haha… !”
Exhaling laboriously as she knelt down, Savnak sensed that the demons had begun to swarm.
But nothing could be done.
Minimal angst,
Savnak exhausted all his strength to the point where he could not even make a last stand.
‘Finally… Is it cause and effect?’
Seeing the demons approaching with both eyes flashing, Savnak recalled the time when he killed the Demon Lord of Heat and seized the Demon Core.
Okay,
This is obviously causal retribution.
I became the king of ten thousand horses through usurpation… ,
In the end, he must have been destined to have his magic core usurped by someone.
“Kill!”
“Whoever gets it first wins!”
The demons, who had noticed each other, rushed at each other, giving in to their desires like beasts.
Wielding a sharp sword,
It seemed to be a plan to thoroughly tear apart the body and then take out the magic core from within.
Kwurreung-!
Aaaaa!!
Eventually, when usurpation was about to take place,
A blue bolt of lightning fell from the sky onto the scene.
“… Sorry, I’m late.”
A man appeared and hugged the woman who was bleeding and gasping for breath.
The woman answered him.
“Okay…. Thanks to you being late… I could have been more helpful to you….”
She burst into laughter as she felt the warm tenderness of her hugging her own body.
And as she turned her head,
In dramatic circumstances, she kissed the lips of the man who had saved her life again.
