Chapter 656 – Chapter 656. Final Battle
Darkness covers your vision, and the sensation of space warping overwhelms your body.
I immediately generated magic power from the center of my body.
I was able to shake off the darkness that enveloped my body, but when the darkness disappeared, I was already standing in another space.
“Your detection ability is better than I thought. Combat sense is definitely a good ability.”
I raised my head at the voice coming from the front.
Black armor covering the whole body and crimson eyes.
A body over 3M was intimidating, but I didn’t feel any hostility toward him.
Devil.
And the god of this world.
He stood in front of me
“…”
Without answering, I glared at the demon king in front of me.
When there was no answer, the demon king shrugged his shoulders and continued talking.
“If I attacked my alter ego, I was going to return that power to the humans as it is… Hmm. Well, it doesn’t matter. That was just insurance.”
I felt a strange amount of composure in the demon king in front of me.
Even though he was standing right in front of his nose, he seemed completely unwilling to fight.
As if the fierce battle with the demons had been a dream, he was relaxed.
I slowly looked around.
The darkness that covered his vision became a black curtain and surrounded the demon king and himself.
The darkness in the form of a huge sphere was a mysterious form in which the outside could be clearly seen.
People were even gathering outside.
Looking at this side and pointing, it seems that the inside can be seen even from the outside.
I looked at the Demon King with dumbfounded eyes.
“It’s a bad taste to dare to make each other visible.”
“They will understand when you show them that your last hope is fading. In my world, humans don’t give up until the end.”
“… Why did the demons stop?”
The scenery outside the darkness was so awkward.
The demons, which had been advancing without hesitation until just now, had stopped like statues, and the humans were panicking and attacking the motionless demons.
“If I kill you anyway, this world is over. There is no need to waste magic on scumbags.”
It seems that the resurrection of demons ends as soon as the demon king’s magical power is cut off.
This was good news.
It meant that if I killed that bastard, I could save the world.
As if he noticed that feeling, the Demon King smiled.
“You’re too hasty. Hey. Do you know how many times this world has been repeated?”
“… What?”
“Number 1346082, to be exact. I’ve watched the whole process. Some of them will have to do with you.”
“…”
He said something out of the blue, but it seemed like he was talking about how many times the original game had been played.
I didn’t open my mouth because I didn’t know his intentions.
“In all of that, this world ultimately comes down to two endings. Either humans win, or humans lose. I’ve observed that ending 1346082 times.”
“So what? You’re saying it’s no use attacking me because I’ve seen it so many times?”
“No. I mean I’ve observed your way through this world from the very beginning. How strong you are. What magic you use. What feelings you have for the scum that are nothing more than creatures. I know everything.”
“…”
“This world repeats itself endlessly. This moment, too, is just one of over a million world lines. The things you have exchanged emotions with are just that much.”
This world is a game.
I can understand because I was the one who cleared the original work several times and wrote a review.
A world that turns on when the player launches the game and turns off when the player turns off the game.
After all, the world you struggled with is just a game.
That’s probably what the demon king is talking about.
“Go fuck it. Fuck it.”
Of course, that sort of trick doesn’t work for me.
If I had heard such words shortly after being possessed by this world, I would have been taken aback.
However, it has been a long time since I have already finished my worries and anguish about this world.
This world is not a game.
There is no logical reason or philosophy.
At least he thought so.
… Even if you don’t, it doesn’t matter.
Because if you kill the demon king in front of you, it becomes a fact.
“Is this only a person who lived well?”
Of course he knew that the god of this world was not normal.
From the first time I was called, I thought I was a jerk.
However, I couldn’t stand it when he looked down on me like that.
“Didn’t you understand what I was saying? You’re the only one who can communicate emotions with my creatures! You can’t beat the gods even if you struggle!”
“You’ve heard enough bullshit. How long are you going to hold the weight?”
Instead of talking, I raised my body’s mana.
Pounding. Pounding. Pounding.
The fast beating heart delivers blood to the whole body and circulates mana.
The sense of battle began to run rampant against a powerful enemy he had never met before.
“You know best that you can’t win no matter how hard you struggle.”
It’s not that the guy was wrong.
Ever since I entered this space, my whole body is sending out signals to run away.
The Demon King was stronger than any enemy he had ever encountered.
“…Shut up. You personality-breaker bastard.”
I grit my teeth and forcibly calm the fear that blooms in the corner of my heart.
He knows best that the situation cannot be resolved by running away or bursting into tears.
I forcibly shook off the demon king’s spirit and widened my eyes.
‘Deployment of Macheongung.’
The magic of the Macheon Palace begins to fill the space of darkness.
The trembling of the body gradually lessened, and the golden shining eyes scanned the body of the demon king from head to toe.
“…Yes. Eighth Human. You always annoyed me. You remain the same until the very end.”
Seeing the demon king’s eyes frown, the corners of his mouth go up without my knowledge.
I didn’t like it from the start.
The look in his eyes, his way of speaking, and even his attitude that he couldn’t do anything even if you tried.
There are not just one or two things to correct.
“I’ll have to see if I can keep talking even after being hit.”
The arc that rises behind your back and the magical power that unfolds inside the Demon Palace.
I smiled and surrendered to the sense of exhilaration that enveloped my whole body.
*
When Lee Ho-yeon was alone with the demon king.
Outside, the situation has changed once again.
All demons and monsters suddenly stopped moving.
When the guys who had just been aiming for the humans in front of them stopped still, the allied forces preparing to retreat couldn’t hide their embarrassment.
“What, what? Why am I alive…?”
“Amon has stopped! Ji, aim for the neck now!”
From the Hunter who was on the verge of being cut by the devil’s sword to the Hunter who was on the verge of defeating the devil.
All the hunters were confused, but most quickly came to their senses and immediately ended the demon’s life.
No, I don’t know if he took his own life.
The demons were freed from gravity and stopped as if they were stuffed into space itself.
The hunters who saw the demon that continued to stand there no matter how much they were cut and burned were overcome with fear for some reason.
“Hey! There’s something strange here!”
“Mage Lee Ho-yeon is trapped inside!”
At that time, some of the Hunters pointed to an unknown darkness in the middle of the field.
Even in the midst of a sudden commotion, Lee Ho-yeon’s name was enough to focus the attention of the hunters.
“Magician Lee Ho-yeon. And that guy…?”
“It’s the captain! Isn’t the reason why the demons stopped because the wizard Lee Ho-yeon is confronting that guy?”
The surviving hunters began to gather around the darkness one by one.
Among them, the first to gather was the Iris Guild.
Darkness appeared right next to the area in charge of the Iris Guild.
That’s why Alice and Irene, who were nearby, were able to confirm the darkness immediately.
“Alice, can you interpret it?”
“… No. I can’t see what kind of magic it is.”
“I don’t think Lee Ho-yeon made it… Maybe it’s his magic?”
“Yes. Unni. It must be the magic of the demon king.”
Alice reached out to the darkness where Lee Ho-yeon was trapped.
Paji Jiji-!
Even touching it for a moment can feel a strong backlash.
It was a kind of magic I had never seen before.
“… What is this? Ellis. Wasn’t this area in charge of the Iris Guild?”
At that time, a familiar voice was heard among the hunters gathering one by one.
The student council president of Victoria Academy. It was Moon Soo-rin.
Behind her was Nam Da-eun holding a sword.
Alice slightly turned her head and looked at Lee Ho-yeon again.
“Yes. I didn’t confirm it with my own eyes, but I heard that Lee Ho-yeon suddenly appeared and hit the wounded. And at that moment, this black darkness appeared.”
“You hit a wounded man?”
“It’s probably a captain who was disguised as an injured person. Hoyeon has a Jeju Island that finds mines disguised as hunters in the past.”
Moon Su-rin’s answer came from behind.
When she turned her head, she saw the wizard Imsol approaching her.
Behind her were the cute twins, all three of whom had their eyes fixed on darkness.
“Professor Imsol?! Hoyeon is trapped inside. I need your help.”
Seeing Im Sol, Munsoo-rin smiled at her in relief. She seemed to be able to fix the situation if she was well versed in magic.
“I’m watching too. I’ll try it now.”
Imsol immediately moved her magic toward the darkness.
Gripping support-
However, even Imsol’s magic bounced off so easily that it was futile.
“What is this…”
Her strong resistance made Im Sol feel the pain of being pricked by a needle in his finger.
She had been exposed to so many magics, but had never felt a reaction like this.
“I’ll try too.”
Nam Da-eun also wielded a space charm, but she was not even scratched by the darkness.
The other Hunters did the same.
Even the power that tore the demons apart could not break the darkness that enveloped Lee Ho-yeon.
“Rumi. Can you help me?”
“No, I’ll try!”
“Me too! Professor!”
Imsol, with the help of her disciples, raised her magical powers again.
A lovely disciple was locked up, and she couldn’t stay still.
On the other hand, the scale of the darkness Lee Ho-yeon was trapped in was very large.
That’s why there were other Hunters on the other side of the Iris Guild.
“Rebecca, are you okay?”
“Huh… It can’t be done with a rune’s barrier. This isn’t a barrier type. But it’s not even called magic… Anyway, it’s a power I’ve never seen before.”
Rebecca brushed off her tingling hands and looked at her in the dark.
Even Rebecca, who had an understanding of barriers, could not pierce this mysterious darkness.
“Lee Ho-yeon…! What to do. Uh, what to do. Scout!”
“… I don’t know either.”
“Rebecca…! Do something!”
“I’m trying too. Liliana. Don’t get excited. Calm down.”
“Uh. Uhm. I’m sorry…”
Liliana restlessly looked at Lee Ho-yeon, who was trapped in darkness.
In the darkness where Lee Ho-yeon was trapped, he could feel the dark magic of hell.
Perhaps because of that, Liliana’s chest continued to pound with her unknown anxiety.
“I also use magic. No. … Huh?”
When she was restless.
Her familiar magic passed through Liliana’s senses.
“…”
She feels her mother’s magic.
In fact, Liliana had been searching for her mother’s magic throughout her battle.
Because she obviously thought she would be here.
However, her magical power, which had not been felt until now, was only felt now that Lee Ho-yeon was imprisoned.
‘Why now… ?’
The magic that touched Liliana’s senses was stronger than ever.
Besides, she was revealing her own location as if she were to come find her right away.
‘If you’re a mother…’
Liliana recalled the information Chiron had given her.
Her own mother, Isabella.
She is the Demon King’s mistress.
If it’s her own mother… Wouldn’t he know a way to save Lee Ho-yeon, who is confronting the demon king?
Maybe that’s why she showed up now.
That thought crossed Liliana’s head.
“Miss Liliana?”
Scarlett looked at Liliana, who suddenly became quiet.
Now that Lee Ho-yeon was imprisoned, she had to take care of Liliana.
“Scout. Wait a moment. I will save Lee Ho-yeon.”
“Liliana? Huh? Hold on! Liliana! Where are you going?!”
“Wait! Rebecca!”
Before Liliana could hear her answer, she kicked the ground.
It was easy for a succubus to follow her openly revealing spells of her own.
Hunters collapsed from exhaustion and couldn’t even get close to darkness.
Hunters gasping for breath as they collect the corpses of their comrades.
Liliana made her way through a crowd of people, and after running for a few minutes she reached a deserted area.
It was a place where her mother’s magical power was strongly felt.
However, there was no sign of popularity in the surroundings.
“Mom mom?!”
Liliana turned her head at random, looking for her presence.
She herself had to find a way to save Lee Ho-yeon.
At that time, she was scattering her magical energy in all directions and examining her surroundings.
“It’s finally just the two of us. My daughter.”
An irresistible fascination enveloped Liliana’s body.
