Chapter 78 – Blue Lightning, Red Flame (3)
=======================
Yushin grabbed his lightning sword with both of his hands as he placed his other hand on the hilt.
It moved slowly.
The composure disappeared from Sabnak’s face, and bewilderment and astonishment began to appear.
How could a man move with a hole in his chest? It would have been a mortal wound, no, an instant death. It was a blow that wouldn’t be strange even if he stopped breathing right away. Savnak was convinced that he had pierced the heart of the demon lord slayer.
‘A human being who moves even when his heart is broken… !’
Couduk!
The blade of the lightning sword that cut halfway through Savnak’s neck began to move.
Slowly, little by little.
Like a messenger who came to declare death, the blow to slowly cut off Savnak’s breath continued. Surprised by Yushin’s actions to continue the attack even though his heart was shattered, Sabnak hurriedly opened the distance, retrieving the scrap metal sword stuck in his chest.
“Cool cool!”
Savnak coughed up bloody coughs and coughed up blood several times.
Wrapped around his own neck.
The marks of being forcibly torn were clear.
In order to end the breath of the demon king slayer, he gave up his flesh and attacked to take his bones. But the result was just the opposite. I didn’t expect that the Demon King Slayer would attack even when his heart was shattered. I was about to face the exact opposite situation.
“What you looking at. Is this the first time you’ve seen a human who moves normally even when his heart is broken?”
Yushin moved.
However, it seemed that the body was slightly stiff, as if there was no damage at all.
10 seconds to heart recovery.
The Yonggap, completely assimilated with Yusin, restored all wounds close to instant death. Even if your heart is ripped apart, even if you receive a wound close to death. It ‘sealed’ death with its bizarre regenerative ability.
“Even if they are from another world, their basic physical abilities should be similar to those of humans. Is it the power of that armor? I would never have thought that bio-armor made from dragon’s musculoskeletal system would have such power.”
“To kill an immortal, you have to become an immortal. These are the words of the blacksmith who refined this armor.”
“It’s a sergeant to kill the demon king…. Nice.”
Savnak’s eyes lit up at Yushin’s explanation. He might have stimulated interest, but he revealed a strong desire for money.
The power to restore even a shattered heart.
An authority that makes a human with a weak body compared to other races immortal.
Cool. Savnak coveted the dragon’s armor with pure admiration. It’s not just that the power of immortality is attractive. He reacted excitedly like a child to the sleek and fierce appearance of the armor reminiscent of a dragon.
‘No, I had the feeling that I was killed. I don’t know what trick he used, but he escaped death.’
The more you think about it, the weirder it gets.
Savnak, who was looking down at the hand holding his sword hilt, raised his head again and looked at Yushin.
“I think we’ll have to postpone the duel for a while, Demon King Slayer.”
As soon as Savnak’s words fell, Ardena, clad in dark green mana, attacked.
Swinging his sword, he struck Savnak.
After confirming that Yushin had been pierced in the chest by Savnak’s blow, he rushed into the duel without hesitation.
The one-on-one duel was canceled. With Ardena intruding, it became a two-on-one fight. Savnak was confident that he was going to deal with both at once, but he did not back down. Rather, he rejoiced as he let down his scrap metal sword.
“Devil!!!”
The blue-haired female knight recklessly broke through the elves blocking the way and intervened in the duel.
She raised her giant sword.
Then, as it slammed down on Savnak, it created a huge shockwave.
Kwagwagwagwagwak.
The ground Savnak was stepping on with both legs began to hollow. It was as if a great giant had trampled it with all its might. As if this blow could not be passed lightly, Savnak’s face distorted greatly.
“They’re joining in turn…. It’s okay for 2 people, but starting with 3 people, it will be quite difficult.”
Do you guys have no conscience?!
If it were a normal demon, he would have protested the irrationality of having to deal with a large number of people.
But Savnak was different.
The Demon King is the enemy of the world. He always has to deal with the majority. That’s what he thought, so he raised his sword without saying a word despite Ardena and Allen’s efforts. Even if he was defeated, he seemed to humbly accept it.
“Brother, is this guy the Demon King?”
“Uh.”
“Let’s finish it quickly and go back.”
“I have to land the final blow. So make a gap.”
“Yea, I got it.”
Yushin, Allen, and Ardena confronted Savnak holding swords.
At the same time, the Demon King’s army moved.
Perhaps it was because the two knights had intruded into the duel with the Demon King Slayer.
I watched as Savnak was allowed a blow by the Demon Lord Slayer. The existence of a human who could move normally even after his heart was pierced was accepted by the two families as a “Threat that should not be tolerated.” So he mobilized tens of thousands of troops to trample the elves.
“Under the flag… , Gather Demon King, who does not know death.”
The Ghost Rider raised the cursed flag high.
A curse covered the battlefield.
The target of the curse of the flag raised by the ghost rider was not the elves.
It was the Demon King. He cursed his allies, the Demon King’s forces. The name of the curse is ‘those who do not know death’. It was a power that made the soldiers bound by the curse forget the fear of death.
“Brother, I will open a road in Seonjin.”
The evil knight climbed the ghost horse with his sword drawn. As if to escort him, Death Knights riding ghost horses gathered.
He drooped his sharp sword.
At the same time, spurring the ghost horse, the ghost knights began to gallop.
The Demon King’s army numbering in the tens of thousands finally began to advance. To protect the demon lord, to slaughter all the elves. The demons and monsters, whose red eyes were exposed due to the curse, rushed towards the elves with frenzied shouts.
* * *
When I almost cut my throat,
Savnak felt the threat of death.
And he felt the threat of death once again from Allen, who rushed to him while engaging in a hand-to-hand combat.
It was suspicious.
It was assumed that he felt the danger of death from the demon king slayer, a being from another world. But why did he feel the danger of death even from that blue-haired female knight?
‘That woman is a human from this world. Therefore, she should not be able to damage the immortality favored by the Demon God. But why does that woman smell dangerous like a demon lord slayer?’
After Savnak responded to Allen’s dragon chaser by punching Yushin’s thunderbolt sword, he was in agony as he counterattacked with Ardena’s sword.
Unexpected things happened one after another.
Unexpected things were happening to the extent that it was difficult to respond immediately.
I didn’t feel bad. Fights are always unexpected. Any strong person who can aim for my life is welcome. It was a duel to fight for each other’s lives while taking their lives.
“Realize that no matter how many worms flock to you, they are nothing more than worms.”
Savnak stretched out his hand and deployed red fireballs.
The elves were greatly surprised and backed away.
It was because they were almost annihilated by Savnak’s large-scale wide-area attack.
Blue bolts of lightning surged up from the ground, destroying all the red fireballs. While Allen and Ardena were holding Savnak in check, Restoration, which stepped back for a moment, extinguished Savnak’s fireballs.
“Ahaha! This is my first time fighting the demon lord!”
Arlen, her face contorted in madness, swung her giantsword to close the distance with Savnak.
I won’t give you time to activate your powers.
He intended to keep pushing and driving Savnak into a corner.
However, Savnak did not back down despite Allen’s onslaught, which had superpowers. He fought back with a graceful swordsmanship that shed his strength and counterattacked sharply. Even though Allen and Ardena, the two knights, rushed at it, they were unable to attack Savnak. The only limit was to achieve an equal number.
“You like to run like a beast. They don’t even know that it’s an act of speeding up their lives.”
Lines of blood were engraved on Allen’s body.
A deep black scar stretched from her shoulder to her abdomen. Hot blood flowed from the sword scar.
Every time you put a strong blow, there will definitely be a gap. Savnak was not going to miss it. First of all, he planned to deal with Allen, who felt uncomfortable, and then deal with Yushin and Ardena.
“Kick! Ha ha,haha!!”
Allen was very mad.
He was mortally wounded.
It was a sword scar that connected the upper body diagonally. The wound was quite deep, and the amount of blood was considerable.
Still, Allen moved. Her blue-haired, beastly golden eyes flashed as she let out a laugh mixed with the madness of living here. The golden eyes shining in her red eyes were enough to intimidate the demon lord.
“I will heal your wounds.”
Ardena reached out and healed Allen with the energy emanating from the white flower’s armour.
The wound healed in an instant.
As soon as the wound regenerated, Allen rushed back to Savnak like a runaway locomotive.
“Quit!”
Savnak swallowed his saliva.
This is because Yushin, who had been waiting behind him, attacked while advancing rapidly like a bullet.
Blue lightning flashed.
Savnak held up his scrap metal sword to block Yushin, while holding Allen, who started to attack again, and Ardena, who was in charge of attack assistance, in check, showing an unobstructed battle.
“You are the Demon King. Wouldn’t you say that you are cowardly?”
Yushin asked.
At that question, Savnak kicked and laughed.
“Don’t be arrogant, Demon King Slayer. If you think I’ve pulled out all my power, you’re mistaken. I am not Agares, that idiot.”
Savnak’s eyes, which had been dyed red, began to darken.
Black color.
The red eyes turned black in an instant.
In response, the flames of the heat wave, which had been burning red, also began to turn black. But that was only for a moment, and it returned to red again. He probably decided that it was too early to use his full power.
“Kill the elves!”
“It is time to restore our hometown and homeland!”
The demons roared.
As ferocious monsters leaped across the ground, they threatened the elven knight with sharp teeth and claws.
And the elven knights swung longswords that formed blue swords and cut down monsters. After holding up his shield to block the devil’s magic, he wielded his sword and lowered the supply and demand of the devil.
“There’s a lot of commotion around. I’ll end the duel now. Demon King Slayer, let’s meet again here in three days.”
Savnak, who pushed Allen and Ardena away at the same time, swung his scrap metal sword wide, creating a shockwave.
The ground started to crumble.
Not only the elves who were caught up in the collapse, but also the demons and monsters were caught up in it.
A great calamity has come to the battlefield. It caused mass destruction just by swinging the sword. Savnak killed hundreds of people in an instant, as if to prove that the words ‘I didn’t do my best’ were by no means a lie.
“But I can’t just go. It is a gift to say goodbye for a while. Take it, Demon King Slayer.”
Savnak stuck his scrap sword into the ground.
Wooooo!!
Heat gushed out of the scrap metal sword.
The heat from the sword spread widely across the battlefield and exerted an influence. Soon, flames began to rise from cracks in the ground. It turned all the spaces in all directions and front lines into an inferno.
“Aww!”
“Kkeot, kkeuh!”
Elf knights wrapped in flames let out screams as they rolled on the floor.
The elven priests who assisted the rear summoned water and ice. However, even the water and ice summoned by magic could not put out Savnak’s flames. Only steam spewed out, and there was no sign of the fiercely burning flames extinguishing.
“Kuoooh!”
“It is Savnak-sama’s flame! Back off everyone!”
The demons made a grotesque cry and disappeared as they turned to ashes.
So did the devil.
Seeing the flames of Savnak red as lava, he gave up the attack and retreated.
The demon king’s flames can never evolve unless they are confronted with equal strength. The demons, who didn’t want to be caught in the flames and killed by dogs, spat out curses at Savnak’s brutality, which did not care for anyone except his followers.
“Next time, I will bring ‘lines’ suitable for a showdown with you.”
Savnak raised a scrap sword.
She left her line, escorted by the Ghost Rider and the Demon Knight, who arrived beside her at some point.
