Chapter 77 – Blue Lightning, Red Flame (2)
======================
The Ghost Rider, a member of Savnak’s family, was watching the fight with the cursed flag raised.
It was a close match.
No, since they are not exerting their full strength, it can’t be said to be close.
The search battle to confirm each other’s strength was the purpose, and the two strong men showed a relaxed appearance even in the splendid swordsmanship. Of course, to the naked eye, it would seem like a situation where there is nothing strange if the neck falls off.
“The army is ready.”
“Master Savnak does not want to interfere with the duel. He will wait until further orders.”
“I get it.”
After talking with the demon knight, the ghost rider raised his head again to watch the duel.
It didn’t seem like it would end easily.
The two knights continued their splendid sword dance amidst the thunder and spreading flames.
‘Since Savnak-nim was defeated by a monster named El Cid, he has reached the end of endlessly seeking strength for hundreds of years. There’s no way I’m going to lose to a human… !’
The Demon King’s side was very relaxed.
No one cared about defeat.
Even if the opponent was the demon lord slayer who subdued the tyrannical demon lord, Agares, that did not change.
The Ghost Riders and the Demon Knights maintained their forces with unwavering loyalty. It was to prepare for one situation at a time. If Savnak’s orders are given or if something goes wrong with her… , I was planning to lead all the troops and slaughter the elves.
“Your skills aren’t bad, isn’t it false that you subdued Agares?”
Savnak took a step back, dropping her scrap sword in front of her.
I took a moment to calm my breathing.
Despite not knowing when the sharp bolts of lightning would strike, Savnak maintained her composure.
However, contrary to her coldly settled reason, her heart was beating faster than ever. She finally met the Demon King Slayer. She was overjoyed that she could compete with him. Her pounding heart let out her exhilaration and joy, leading Savnak to her dragon battle.
“You’re better than the tyrannical Demon Lord.”
“Thank you for that.”
Savnak responded to Yushin’s words and cut her scrap metal sword horizontally.
A red slash came out.
It was different from the previous attacks. He attacked Yushin with a sword wrapped in the power of heat wave.
A scorching heat enveloped her armor in an instant. And Yushin easily endured even in the heat and received Savnak’s slash. Savnak let out a small exclamation of admiration at Yushin’s appearance of defeating any swordsmen.
Thunder Eight Eight Ceremonies
Thunderbolt strike
Three bolts of lightning aimed at Savnak almost simultaneously.
There is no way to avoid it.
If so, accept it at the same time.
With both hands on the hilt of Savnak, he deflected three bolts of lightning simultaneously. As the flames and lightning interlocked, a fierce aftershock occurred, but Savnak, who had withstood the thunderbolt, was fine.
‘Even if you accept that, you’re fine? After all, is it different from Agares…. He was the type that specialized in command. The authority of tyranny was only a mental ability. A heat wave that is completely focused on combat is harder to deal with than tyranny.’
Like Agares, he didn’t seem able to take it down in a short time.
It is not an exaggeration to say that Sabnak, which emits red flames while shining red eyes, is a volcano of heat waves. Every time he attacked while swinging his scrap metal sword, hot flames flew wildly.
Thunder Eight Eight Ceremonies
Thunderbolt
Taking advantage of the fact that Savnak’s vision was temporarily blocked by lightning and flames, he fired a thunderbolt bow.
I was aiming for an invisible line.
At this short range, they attacked from an invisible line of sight, so they couldn’t avoid it.
However, Savnak disappeared on the spot in an instant, as if to prove that he was a fighting demon king. Her thunderbolt’s bow only pierced the red cloak she was wearing. Yushin, who caught him, raised his sword and managed to block Savnak’s attack from above, slashing a scrap metal sword.
Card Dede Deuk!!
A harsh metal sound exploded as the two swords clashed.
‘Your appearance has changed. Is it the type whose body grows according to the output of power?’
Savnak had grown from a body in his mid-teens to a body in his early twenties.
He raised the power output.
In an instant, Savnak had become a slender beauty with beautiful breasts, as if reacting to the authority she radiated.
She lost her red coat so she could observe her body in detail. Unlike her diminutive frame, Savnak has grown to Ardena’s size. As if to show that the body did not simply change, Savnak threatened Yushin with a faster sword strike.
“It’s been a while since I’ve been like this.”
Savnak stretched out his hand.
Then, fireballs fell all at once from the sky and attacked Yushin.
Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwam!!!
A scorching heat wave spread.
Then, as blue lightning bolts stretched out in the heat wave, Yushin reappeared.
“Damn it, I’m dying of heat.”
You couldn’t see it because of the armor, but Yushin’s body was covered with sweat.
I’m about to die from the heat.
The blast that would burn her whole body continued to eat away at her physical strength and spirit, threatening Yushin.
On the other hand, Savnak was very fine. As she became in her early twenties, she appeared rather energetic. Unlike when she was small in size, she moved her outstretched limbs and pushed her Yushin with more precise and sharp swordsmanship.
“You must be human. Why do humans fight for elves? There was a feud, she was told.”
“Fight for the elves? Did I get shot in her head?”
After answering Savnak’s question, Yushin raised her lightning sword and opened her mouth.
“I fight according to my will. I want to live like that from now on.”
“For justice…. To defeat the devil… , I commend you for not talking such nonsense, Demon King Slayer.”
“I am not justice, so why are you talking about justice?”
“Haha!”
Savnak burst into laughter.
Okay,
That’s right.
When it came to swinging a sword, personal circumstances were unnecessary. Dueling exists to divide the strong from the weak. In a fight of pure power, justice was just a cumbersome face.
“I liked it, Demon King Slayer.”
Savnak reached Yushin while breaking through the thunderbolts as if performing an acrobatics.
Their eyes collided with each other.
At the same time, each sword extended towards the other.
Yushin leaned over to her side, dodging her sharp blade. It was the same with Savnak. As if they had agreed with the other party in advance, they evaded the attack in the same way.
‘Even if they are the same demon king, they are completely different from Agares. Agares wasn’t the type that was good at one-on-one combat.’
Yushin muttered as he watched Savnak wield a huge scrap metal sword continuously.
It was completely different from Agares.
He was the type that relied heavily on spells, traps, and the authority of tyranny.
On the other hand, Savnak showed pure reliance on martial arts. He drives opponents to the brink of death with swordsmanship he has trained for hundreds of years. Authority was simply an auxiliary ability, and Savnak’s main ability was near-perfect swordsmanship.
“Swing a little louder! Go after me with all your might!”
Savnak shouted.
Her mouth was filled with bright joy, and she showed great admiration for Yushin’s swordsmanship.
All of the blows being swung are heavy.
His swordsmanship was to the point of threatening the Demon King. Faced with the thunderbolt sword that ended the life of Agares, who dreamed of conquering the continent, Savnak was not afraid and actively engaged in a duel, vomiting a spirit that overturned all of Yushin’s attacks.
‘It won’t end like this.’
Yushin kicked the ground and moved.
Hastily backed away.
Taking a big leap, the distance was widened in an instant.
She soldered her thunderbolt into the scabbard. And before Savnak prepared, he fired the sword in the scabbard at high speed. A bluish blade shot up and aimed at the nape of Savnak’s neck, which was far away.
Thunder Eight Swords
Cerebral palsy
Savnak raised his sword.
But it was one step too late.
The blue sword created by concentrating mighty thunderbolts was already approaching.
* * *
The battlefield where Yushin and Savnak fought was like a hell with blue lightning and red flames flowing over it.
No one interfered
Who can intervene in the scene where lightning and flames collide one after another?
The elven warrior chiefs joined Yushin and tried to subdue Savnak. Because that monster was not something that could be defeated alone. It is a monster among monsters that can only be equaled by several people. There was no room for cowardice in hunting monsters.
“Is it really great? I never thought that a one-on-one duel against the demon king would be possible. It’s a bit embarrassing for me to have only been beaten up until now.”
Bariteon opened his mouth.
I admired the blue armored Demon Lord Slayer who was fighting Savnak to the death.
How can humans be so strong?
I heard that there are strong men called the Imperial Twelve Commanders of the Holy Empire, but even they will not be able to surpass Yushin. Bariteon, who had never seen a human displaying overwhelming strength and skill, hastily called Yushin the strongest human being.
“Bariteon Warrior Commander, you never know when the demon king’s army will wage an all-out war. I think it would be better to prepare for the demon lord army after going through a reorganization.”
“It should be.”
Bariteon took the lead and recovered the legions that had been swept away by Savnak’s offensive.
The elven knights moved.
Elf knights armed with spears and swords prepared for the attack of the Demon King’s army as they formed a formation.
The ones who are currently in command of the Demon King’s army are the followers of Savnak. Ghost Rider, Demon Knight, Black Monster. The Demon King of Heat’s favored subordinates were commanding tens of thousands of Demon King’s troops. From evil demons to ferocious monsters, the Demon King’s army, which numbered in the tens of thousands, had enough strength to collapse the Elf nation’s front lines and advance to the capital, Maherit.
“Saira warrior commander. Commander Emily.”
Ardena summoned her twin warrior chiefs.
Then, the two warrior chiefs stood in front of Ardena in a nervous look.
“I will be ready to join you at any time in case the Demon King Slayer is on the defensive. Take a look at the dynamics of the Demon King’s army. If you join the duel, the other side will definitely join you.”
“Okay, Ardena warrior commander!”
He clenched his fists while looking at the scene where the high elf woman with the blonde hair was fighting fiercely.
All wounds have healed.
You can fight again anytime.
Ardena held her breath behind her, waiting for an opportunity to kill Savnak. Savnak is strong. He couldn’t make Yushin bear all the burden. If he was in danger, he was fully prepared with the intention of joining immediately.
‘Savnak is strong. You never know when a tight match may turn over. He can’t leave all the burden on Yushin.’
That moment,
A change has occurred on the battlefield.
The blue sword blade wielded by Yushin exploded at the red demon king.
At the same time, Savnak’s blow pierced Yushin. Savnak judged that it would be difficult to defend Yushin’s attack and attacked Yushin while launching an attack in the same way.
“Kuh! Big… !!”
The blue sword blade Yushin wielded pierced Sabnak’s neck.
However,
The half-embedded blade, as if blocked by metal, could not advance further. It was stuck right in Savnak’s neck.
The demon king vomited up bubbles of blood while making the sound of boiling phlegm. Both eyes were bright red. Even though he must have been suffering from terrible pain, Savnak endured the pain with extreme mental strength and maintained the blade he had swung at Yushin.
“Hey….”
The red sword extending from the scrap sword had pierced the dragon’s armor.
Blood gushed out of the helmet.
Red blood flowed out and soaked the blue breastplate.
However, like Sabnak, who moved with a sword blade stuck in his neck, Yushin also moved normally. Due to his helmet and armor, the exact state of his body could not be seen, but he stood upright on his two legs even though his chest was pierced. Judging by the fact that he exhaled, he seemed to have avoided instant death.
