Chapter 1618 – 1618. The Plum Blossom Swordsman Reincarnated Into A Baron’S Family
The flames that had been burning the dragon soldiers died down.
A huge wind blew from the sky. The ashes scattered everywhere were blown away by the wind and disappeared.
Priscilla and the other women descended to the ground. Priscilla, who had returned to her human form, asked me,
“Are you alright?”
“What do you mean?”
“Didn’t you kill your father with your own hands? Aren’t you mentally exhausted?”
“Exhausted? I’m fine. I was just a little flustered by the unexpected situation.”
I took out a potion from my inventory.
“I’ll help you.”
Yuria took the potion. She carefully applied the potion to my body. The wounds began to heal rapidly. Priscilla was slightly amazed as she watched my wounds disappear in an instant.
“I didn’t know a potion could be this effective, even if it is a potion.”
“Well, aren’t all potions like that?”
“No. Potions maximize recovery. They are affected by the target’s stamina, vitality, and original recovery rate. It means you excel in all three. You might even be better than me, a dragon.”
Vitality and recovery made me think of something.
Stamina.
My recovery rate increased after raising my stamina stat in the pleasure app. My vitality also felt like it had increased a lot.
‘Stamina is the best after all.’
Swish.
Was it just my imagination? It felt like Yuria’s touch as she applied the potion to my body had become more sensual. I moved my eyes to look at Yuria. Yuria’s expression was more serious than ever.
I subtly turned my wrist near Yuria’s thigh. I could feel the smooth texture of Yuria’s thigh in my hand. Yuria didn’t flinch and focused on applying the potion to my wounds.
Priscilla was looking straight ahead, not at me. My fingers slipped next to Yuria’s panties. I could feel her wet pussy. Yuria’s body trembled slightly. Her expression remained unchanged.
“The source is gone, but the barrier is still maintained.”
“It’s barely maintaining its appearance without the source. It’s empty. A barrier like this can be destroyed physically. Like this.”
Priscilla swung her fingernail. In a flash, a magical light flashed. A silver blade of wind tore through the barrier. A dark hole that had been hidden by the barrier appeared. A large amount of corrupt mana could be felt from the hole.
“It’s time to invade. You all should prepare too…”
Priscilla’s face crumpled as she turned around. She had realized what Yuria and I were doing.
“Do you really want to do that here? It’s no exaggeration to say that the future of this world is in our hands right now. Aren’t you nervous?”
“Why would we be worried when Master is with us? Please relax, Priscilla.”
Yuria said firmly. I was a little taken aback by her words. I had been relying on Yuria. But soon, I smiled contentedly.
‘She’s praising me, her master!’
Anyway, I couldn’t tease Yuria with Priscilla watching. I took my hand out of her skirt. I roughly wiped the liquid on my top and walked forward.
The dark space looked like looking into a deep, deep ocean.
“It doesn’t look like a place I want to go into. Let’s rest for a bit before going in.”
I had used all my stacks of power. I wanted to recover all my stacks.
“If the situation wasn’t so serious, I would have given you time to rest.”
“Is it that serious?”
“The barrier was suppressing and hiding it while protecting it. Can’t you feel the corrupt mana constantly spreading? At this rate, not only will the evil source be flooded, but the surrounding areas will be tainted as well. We need to resolve this situation quickly before the worst happens.”
“What’s the worst that could happen?”
“The space is shaking unstably due to the large amount of corrupt mana. This makes it easier to connect with the demon realm. The worst-case scenario is that a large number of demon gates will open, and demons and demonic beasts will pour out.”
And there was a lot of corrupt mana here.
Corrupt mana. Something that demons love and are crazy about. Corrupt mana would not only create an environment close to the demon realm but also empower the demons. Demons and demonic beasts that were struggling in the middle realm would be able to exert their full power in the middle realm?
The absurd physical abilities of demonic beasts and the fraudulent powers of demons. Thinking about them, I realized that the current situation was extremely dangerous.
Whoosh!
Corrupt mana suddenly spewed out from the black space. It was like breathing out. Priscilla and Yuria simultaneously deployed barriers to block the corrupt mana. The mana maintaining the barrier was being corrupted in real-time.
The output of corrupt mana decreased again. It was now at a level that could be endured without a barrier. The inside was probably more dangerous.
“We really don’t have much time. But can we survive inside there?”
Priscilla took out something from her subspace and gave it to us.
It was a faintly glowing blue bracelet.
“Wear this. You’ll be able to withstand the corrupt mana for two hours.”
“And after that?”
“Create a barrier with mana or cover your whole body with aura. I don’t know about me, but you humans will definitely be affected by the corrupt mana.”
We put on the bracelets. Priscilla was about to take the lead, but I stepped forward first. We could be ambushed as soon as we entered the space, so it was right for me, who could use full recovery, to take the lead.
We entered the space.
It was a universe.
No, it was a world that resembled a universe. It was possible to breathe, and gravity could be felt. There was also a floor to walk on. Below this floor, there were clusters of blue light. It looked like a shining sea.
‘That universe-like thing is corrupt mana. Conversely, the blue sea-like thing below is pure mana.’
It was slowly corrupting the corrupt mana and pure mana. No, it wasn’t slow. It just seemed slow because there was so much pure mana. In reality, the mana corruption was happening rapidly.
“……”
I looked around at them. Just in case someone had a problem. Their expressions were determined. Fortunately, no one seemed to have any problems.
“Let’s go.”
I said and took the lead.
There was only one path, so it was clear where we had to go.
Ahead, there was a red dragon curled up, wrapped in withered branches. Its size was similar to Priscilla’s true form. It was definitely Leosio.
‘Is Leosio unable to fight right now?’
Judging by the fact that he wasn’t moving, that was highly likely.
‘Do I only have to deal with one demon king? That’s good news.’
I turned on my happy circuit. If we all ganged up on him, even a demon king wouldn’t last long.
But as we walked, I noticed something annoying. There were stone doors, magic stone doors, in the sky. And there wasn’t just one. There were probably over 30. Corrupt mana was flowing out through the magic stone doors.
“Priscilla, shouldn’t we deal with those magic stone doors first? They’ve been bothering me since earlier.”
“Have you forgotten the explosive power of the magic stone doors? If the magic stone doors explode, we’ll be caught in it too. We don’t have time to seal and destroy them one by one. We’ll deal with the magic stone doors after we deal with Leosio and the demon king.”
I nodded heavily.
At the same time, I diligently moved my eyes. I was looking for the demon king. It was a meaningless act. The demon king wasn’t hiding anywhere. He was sitting on a chair on a piece of land ten times the size of a sports field, in front of the curled-up Leosio. The stone chair was as solid as a throne.
I frowned. The demon king had taken over Kyle’s body. He had Kyle’s face, but the atmosphere was completely different.
“We meet again. Congratulations. You weren’t too fast, and you weren’t too late. One hour. Leosio will complete his evolution and the contract will be completed within the next hour.”
“Contract?”
“The contract with Leosio. I’m helping Leosio until the contract is completed. If you don’t want to fight me, wait there for an hour. If you don’t attack first, I won’t attack either.”
“What kind of nonsense are you spouting after coming all this way? If you want to live, get out of the way. Then I’ll spare you while I kill Leosio.”
“I knew you’d say that.”
Demon King Astericus got up from his seat. I realized belatedly. Kyle’s severed arm was perfectly intact.
What did he think of my gaze? The demon king chuckled.
“It’s your brother’s body. It’s inferior to my real body… but it’s a pretty useful body. It’s good enough to use temporarily until I create a new body.”
It was a provocation.
He wanted to provoke me so that I would rush at him.
“What do you want to say?”
“The owner of this body is still alive. I deliberately didn’t destroy his soul.”
“Are you trying to threaten me?”
“That’s right. That’s one of the reasons why I chose this body.”
“You don’t know me.”
Did he think I would give in to threats to save Kyle?
I do owe Kyle a debt. If Kyle hadn’t bought time against the Magic Association, my women would have died.
“Listen carefully.”
I spoke to her, including Yuria, not the demon king.
“I owe Kyle a debt. I’ll save him if I can. But that’s a secondary option. If you can kill the demon king, don’t hesitate to kill him.”
I pointed the tip of the Fire Lotus Flying Dagger at the demon king.
“He can use three powers at the same time. He’s probably using one power to evolve Leosio. So he can use two powers at the same time. Keep that in mind. Especially be careful of the possession power.”
Even if we get hit a little, if the mages use ether magic, we can resist the powers. The possession power is a power that fails even with a little resistance, so we won’t be possessed.
“There’s no need to waste time… let’s start.”
Yuria disappeared.
Floy, equipped with armor and a sword, stood next to me, and Priscilla and Sharnel raised their mana. Melissa stood in the middle, as if protecting Priscilla and Sharnel. The positions were set in an instant.
Floy and I rushed towards the demon king.
