Chapter 361 – Demons and Humans
Cut out space
For prosecutors, it is an extreme state that can only exist in their imagination.
The seekers of the fallen old kingdom of Murim, as well as the orthodox warriors of the eastern part of the empire who partially inherited their lineage and culture, work hard every day, dreaming that one day their sword will be able to cut down everything in the world.
Starting with beating the scarecrow with a bamboo sword.
If you can handle the real sword, a pile of straw.
After you get used to swordsmanship to a certain extent, you can use logs.
After becoming a true expert in creating auras, steel.
He doesn’t stop there, but his skills increase even further, and he becomes a super expert known throughout the empire, wielding his sword against all kinds of natural objects, including water, fire, and lightning.
Those who used swords, both past and present, were people who were anxious to prove their skills by cutting things that became more difficult to cut as their skills improved.
It may be natural that space, a concept where even the border between material and immaterial is vague, becomes the final goal of inspection.
The great transcendent, the general of the empire, once said this to her disciple:
– – –
Ah, how romantic this is.
To overcome the limitations of one’s species with a single sword in one’s hand.
The essence of a warrior is not a fighter, but a seeker who pursues transcendence through martial arts.
Disciple, if one day the tip of your sword reaches the sky.
You will destroy even the sky, and there will be no place in the world that your sword cannot reach.
– – –
Because it was not once or twice that the teacher recited unknown stories.
‘Hey, another rumor.’
‘This guy?’
‘Aaaaah!’
The student who was listening to her next to her at the time reacted indifferently.
Just as when you open a book that you closed as a child and open it again as an adult, you get a different appreciation from the past.
It was only after some time that Wolfgang realized the true meaning of those words.
“Goes.”
[Expansion of the realm of imagery — microcosm]
The darkness sleeping inside, the unknown power gathers and becomes a small, pitch-black dot.
The dots soon become lines and are overlaid on the blade of magic power compressed to the limit.
Although it appears to be an auror on the outside, it is something that goes far beyond a simple form of power.
“Oooooh!”
Wolfgang lightly swung it towards the charging Sloth.
[Split the galaxy]
—Clap!
Soon, it was as if a black blade of darkness had consumed part of the space.
A very thin, pure white line was drawn along the trajectory of the sword being swung.
Wolfgang muttered as he withdrew his sword with a light movement.
“You cut off something trivial.”
It was strange.
There were no traces of the massive shock waves or rough destruction that usually accompanied Wolfgang’s minor blows.
From the outside, it could be mistaken for a sword being swung in the air.
“Are you kidding me?!”
—Kugugu… !
When Wolfgang swung his sword in an unusual motion, Sloth, who had stopped, roared and gained momentum again.
The power he possesses is the power of counter-attack.
As Wolfgang predicted, it was an extremely irrational power that could absorb the other person’s power and return it to the other person as his own.
However, that was only a portion of his power.
Among the demons, his power and danger were so great that he was not completely extinguished and slept underground, and his true value did not lie in his power.
Huge body. Innate strength.
In the past, Sloth was a person who ascended to the Apostolic Seat through pure physical strength alone.
The new name he was given, Sloth, was also a name given to help him suppress his natural evil voice even a little.
If I hadn’t done that, I would have gone crazy and destroyed everything.
However, at this moment.
Despite being treated with respect as a fellow warrior, he was a small and insignificant person (by his standards anyway) who openly ignored him, so his suppressed anger began to burst out.
It’s combined with anger at the years Sloth spent underground.
“Grraaaaa… !”
He was trying to unleash his true power, which had made him infamous on earth long ago.
—Gooooo… !
It already had a large size reminiscent of an ogre, its horns grew noticeably larger, and black fur reminiscent of an animal grew all over its body.
And so, after hundreds of years, it appeared on earth.
An ominous and gigantic ape figure with black demonic energy covering its entire body.
[Liberation of demonic nature]
[The Sloth One — Belphegor]
Sloth shouted as he rushed towards Wolfgang.
“I will cut, crush, tear, and crush your filthy being!”
The appearance is reminiscent of the devil that appears in legends.
The demonic energy overflowing from his body, the bat wings sprouting from his back, and the blasphemous black halo above his head were nothing short of an insult to the heavenly gods.
Furthermore.
“Rise, my minions!”
—Guooooo… !
“Kkieek!”
“Keeeeek!”
“W-what is this again!”
“Damn, these guys must have been the ones we gave rest to…” !”
The moment Sloth unleashed his true power, the mutants that had already been defeated by his twin’s hands rose again and began to surround the surroundings.
A corpse that has been hit by divine power, not any other power, comes back to life and rushes at you.
A truly nightmarish sight.
“It’s okay…You can do it again.”
“Yes, Remy.”
However, the twins were not afraid and raised their swords again.
If you have already fought and defeated an enemy once, you will be able to defeat them if you fight again.
“Hiyaaap!”
The twins fiercely fight against the mutants who rush in with a roar of energy.
However, the two girls are determined to fight.
—Quaaa!
“Are you scared in front of the enemy? “How pathetic!”
Even though it was just moments before Sloth’s fist exploded his head.
Wolfgang was standing there without even blinking an eye.
Because.
“That’s interesting.”
—Tall
“Wow… ?”
This is because his blow, which at first glance seemed like it could not cause any damage to Sloth, only revealed its results later.
The giant ape’s fist literally stopped right in front of Wolfgang’s nose.
“You are definitely strong. Honestly, it exceeded my expectations. “To be honest, it would be a shame to compare Ramiel to that pathetic woman.”
“This, this…” What on earth is this… “
The two men’s attitudes towards accepting the outcome of the fight were clearly different.
While Wolfgang was standing with the same expressionless expression as always, as if it was only natural.
The evil face of the demon, full of anger and madness, gradually becomes tinged with nothingness.
Sloth muttered in disbelief, as if he could not believe it.
“Is it… Has the game already been decided? “
“There’s no way you’ll notice it right away. “Because what I cut was not your body.”
—Suuuh…
Soon, Sloth’s upper and lower body were split in two.
It was too unremarkable to be the end of the old demon race, which gave off a force reminiscent of the nightmare of the human-demon war erased from history.
Suddenly, the large body reminiscent of a small mountain splits in two and falls helplessly to the ground.
—Clap!
At first glance, it was an extremely unrealistic sight.
The black blood and pieces of internal organs flowing from the border between the upper and lower bodies cut in half remind us once again that demons are just one life.
It proves that what is happening now is not a fantasy but a stark reality.
As a member of Eclipse, who boasts tough vitality, Sloth’s breath was still attached for now. It was no wonder that the faint light of life went out at any time.
“Cough… ! Play… “It doesn’t work.”
Sloth, who was on the verge of death, was no longer running wild in anger and madness.
He had returned to his calm self from the moment he first clashed with Wolfgang.
He may have thought about liberating the Demon Castle, but does this mean that his true form is closer to this side?
—Quaak!
Wolfgang approached Sloth and placed Demonbane on his bedside table.
The sight seemed as if a tombstone was being erected directly to the enemy.
“Of course. It was not cut so sloppily that it could be regenerated. Because you were strong.”
“Khaak, I see.”
“Let me ask you one last question. Was it also written in the prophecy that you would die by my hands?”
“Well… “I’m not sure about that.”
It was Sloth who talked about prophecy like a fanatic.
Did he actually not see his own end in his prophecy?
Thinking that this was quite ironic, Wolfgang looked directly at Sloth’s face, who for some reason looked relieved, and said,
“Any last words?”
A courtesy to a powerful opponent who brought out his full potential for the first time in a long time.
With his death, the chain of evil deeds and sins will be broken, and his karma will be paid for eons in the afterlife.
All Wolfgang could do was listen to the will of the man who was about to die.
But, at that moment.
—Call!
“Oh, oh… !”
“What? “Are you going to make your final struggle now?”
Sloth’s upper body suddenly opened his eyes, which had been slowly closing, and began to tremble as if he had welcomed a demon god.
—Quaak!
The moment when Wolfgang, who felt uncomfortable with the huge hand that suddenly grabbed him, tried to respond by mobilizing his strength.
—Srur…
Wolfgang could not help but be taken aback by the faint touch, as if an old man was grabbing his collar, which, unexpectedly, did not contain the slightest hint of hostility.
“Fenrir, Fenrir! Have you come to collect these insignificant souls?”
“What… “
And.
With an unknown death.
The ancient demon that awoke from underground died.
