Chapter 384 – Episode 384 – There Is a Reason Why the Demon King Is the Demon King
From the moment I first faced the Demon King, I realized that there was no need to hide my power.
After all, the devil.
This bastard is so fucking strong!
It’s just fighting by clashing swords… My hands were shaking with every move.
“Ugh!”
A sharp magical energy passed by my side along with the Demon King’s black sword. This was also the result of barely avoiding it by overworking my body as much as possible. . This battle will never end easily.
I used magical power with the energy of death. Originally, I tried not to use the energy of death because I was considering the goddess of death, but whenever I continued to fight with the Demon King, there were many times when I felt like my head would be blown off if I made a mistake, so I had to do it with all my might.
Moreover, the Demon King is in an undead state.
No matter how much of a demon lord he is, this shock should have affected him, but his expression shows no pain at all. I swing my sword only to kill myself.
And no matter how good the average swordsman is, he cannot kill the undead. Those who can do that are those who possess the power of Gaia, that is, the power of life, which is completely compatible with the undead.
Or not… A person who has the power of death like me.
The power of death wriggles in my hands. The power that forced the originally immortal Bone Dragon into eternal death. It may seem absurd, but if you use this power given to the Goddess of Death, it is possible to bring death to the undead. As if he knew this, the Demon King tried as much as possible to avoid even brushing against my sword…
Surprisingly, my attacks don’t make any difference.
The blade of the sword penetrates my gap again and passes by my shoulder.
“Whoa.”
Increase your distance slightly. The devil doesn’t rush to me right away, but just stands there.
“Rotten.”
I think this is the first time I’ve been pushed down in power like this since I became a warrior. At that time, Charlotte drove the demon king out to the brink of death. And now I am a little stronger than that Charlotte. That’s why I thought it would be a bit of a fight, but it wasn’t as expected…
“The hero Daron Dran. “I’m a little disappointed.”
Too strong!
“Is that all you were trying to do to stop my cause?”
The Demon King looked truly disappointed. … That bastard is fighting so hard that it makes people lose their temper. I raised my middle finger.
“Fuck you. You are stronger than you think. In order to win somehow, he made a contract with the goddess of death and gave up life.”
The Demon King wasn’t just turned into undead. Although it is less than me, it even has the energy of death. That must have been given to the Demon Lord by the Goddess of Death. Therefore, I no longer have an advantage in terms of nature, and the magic power of the Demon King, who has been strong since the beginning, has become more and more ferocious.
“If I had that power, I would have used it better.”
“It could be possible, but even if it were, it would have been used for your greed.”
“Is the cause greed?”
“Representation? “You’ve been saying shit since a while ago.”
You sound like a good cause. The cause is the desire to have everything under one’s feet. From the Demon King’s point of view, it might be so. That is why the Demon King must die. If the cause is to brutally kill humans and conquer the world, then my cause is to prevent that.
“Daron!”
I hear the voice I was waiting for from behind. In the first place, I didn’t plan on catching the demon lord alone. It would be nice if I could take down the Demon King by myself, but I don’t foolishly charge into the Demon King alone just because I don’t have enough strength. We gathered everyone together for times like this.
“Is she a saint? And the Archmage… And he is the great guardian of the elves. Yes, you prepared it for me.”
“And even a dragon.”
The area around here gets dark. It was a shadow caused by a huge dragon flying above.
“It will be different this time!”
He kicked the ground and ran towards the Demon King again. At the same time, Eline’s strengthening magic surrounds my body. The moment you cross swords with the Demon King again—.
Bang!!!!!
The ground is cracked, and an ear-piercing sound echoes throughout the battlefield.
Now it’s worth a try. Frenya’s sharp arrow flies towards the Demon King. If he was alive, he wouldn’t know it, but since he was undead, it wouldn’t have mattered if he got hit, but Frenya’s arrow was full of Ray’s divine power. A gap was created thanks to the sword traveling on a different trajectory to block her arrow. And then I quickly dug into the gap and cut off the devil’s arm.
No, I almost missed it.
Avoid this in that situation?
Although it caused damage by slightly grazing, it was an unconditional arm-flying attack. However, the Demon King’s eyebrows narrowed slightly, as if wearing “Death” Had an effect. But the hand of the devil does not stop.
Once.
Two times, three times, four times, five, six, seven—!
… No, twenty-five!
This is the number of times my sword and the Demon King’s sword collided. A thrilling shock erupts from each sum. That’s how intense the battle between me and the Demon King was.
Kaaang!!!!!!!
After clashing our swords about ten more times, the Demon King and I bounce off each other and fall. I ran towards the devil again and tried to push him away, but I barely managed to stop him when I heard Stella’s voice.
“Daron! “Step back for a moment!”
Stella’s voice. Stella, who was flying in the air, instantly freezes the magic around the Demon King. And all attacks come at the same time. Frenya’s rapid fire, Elinne’s deadly magic, and all of those attacks are also imbued with Ray’s divine power.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwaang!!!!!!
A huge roar explodes from one place. For a moment, my eyes were so dazzled that it felt like the sun was right in front of me, so much so that I had to squint.
Only after the cloudy dust settles does the devil’s appearance appear.
“Cough.”
A demon lord spitting out black blood. Even if they are undead, they still bleed. Of course, it’s not red, but black.
And I was a little scared, so I didn’t say anything like ‘Did you get rid of it?’, But it definitely seems like a good hit was made. No matter how strong you become, you cannot stand in front of heroes and those who are only slightly weaker than them.
“It was a little dangerous—.”
You don’t have to listen to everything. I’ve inflicted a lot of damage, but given time, it’s the devil who has the advantage. I reached in front of the Demon King at once and swung my sword.
Ka—ang!
In my heart, I hoped that he would not be able to react and be cut off, but, like the devil, he bounced my sword away. The moment I was about to attack in succession, Ray called me from behind.
“Daron! “Be careful!”
“What?”
Suddenly, the devil’s momentum suddenly changes. With a strong wave, I was pushed back again. The fog spreads thickly from the center of the Demon King to the surrounding area.
“… “What is it?”
There is a saying:
The absolute strongest… You can tell just by that energy.
“After… Wow.”
The Demon King shook his head and hit his broken neck. And, obviously, the body that was damaged by the attack containing divine power is rapidly restored.
“You’ve been hiding your power all this time?”
Ray looked bewildered. Obviously, if it was a demon, or even a demon king who borrowed the power of death, it was imbued with even more fatal sacred power, but the sight of the demon king as if he was rejecting death was terrifying.
“I’m sorry. “I ignored you so much.”
Fuck. Can’t you just ignore me more?
“With that in mind, from now on, I will bring death to you with all my might.”
The Demon King takes another step. I start taking another step forward. It feels like the ground is shaking with every step I take.
What is it?
That doesn’t make sense?
It is strength beyond imagination.
The final battle I saw between Charlotte and the Demon King before returning. The Demon King at that time was slightly weaker than the Demon King before the momentum changed. Then… Are you saying this is how you got stronger by making a contract with the Goddess of Death? Even if it were a hero or a saint, I don’t think it would be enough.
Like… Something more…
“Let’s finish it quickly.”
The devil raises his sword again.
It didn’t come this way.
But with that one sword strike—.
“Ugh?!”
An intangible sword blade flies towards me. It slices through the ground and barely blocks the incoming attack, making it dodge. But that wasn’t the end. The devil’s feet are lifted off the ground. I was the only one who could see the movement, but I couldn’t notice the target the devil was heading towards. The end of that direction was Eline.
“Eline! Protection magic!”
I urgently shouted to Eline. It was too late for me to move to save Eline. Since you can’t avoid it because you can’t see it with her eyes, it’s better to pile up as many layers of protective magic as possible. Eline cast the spell as I said. In that brief moment, she created quite a bit of magic.
However.
“Kyaaaaa?!”
Yuri—.
No, with the sound of numerous things being smashed to pieces, Eline flies away helplessly.
“Eline!”
Frenya runs to catch Eline flying away. And the Demon King arrives in front of Frenya, who takes Eline as if hunting her one by one.
“Oh…”
Actions were faster than words to be careful. I barely managed to get between Frenya and the Demon King and swung my sword with my teeth clenched. No matter how strong the opponent is, this sword is a sword given by the god of death. As a holy sword that cannot be broken by anything other than a sword of the same level, I was able to block the Demon King’s attack, but in the aftermath, I was sent flying for a long time along with Elinne and Freña who were behind me. Just before it hits somewhere and stops, space movement magic unfolds, and it stays in the air for a moment before gently landing on the ground. It’s Stella’s magic.
Stella took us aside for a moment and was preparing a magic spell.
Dragon’s ultimate skill.
「Dragon Breath」
“Die!”
Kwabu Kwak Kwak Kwak Kwakuk !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A destructive beam of light compressed just for one demon lord is shot straight ahead. In the meantime, Ray runs over and begins to treat Elline, who was being held by Frenya.
“Huh, oh, oh… Ray! “Is Eline okay?”
“Some bones were broken, but there was no danger to life.”
I fainted from the tremendous shock. First, I was very fortunate that my life was not in danger.
Kwakqua Kwak Kwak Kwak Kwakak !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stella’s attack was still in progress. Even though the demon king who had been hit head-on had already disappeared, he was really pouring everything into it as if he would not leave even a speck of dust behind.
“However, a complete cure is currently impossible, perhaps because of the Demon King’s curse. For now, only the bones are broken, and he will never regain consciousness.”
“That’s enough. “It’s possible if you have the time, right?”
“Huh. But the devil…”
Me, Ray, and Frenya looked at the Demon King who was being hit by the dragon’s breath. As Stella’s magical power is about to be depleted, the shape of the Demon King standing at the center of the bright pillar of light slowly emerges.
“Rotten.”
“That’s ridiculous.”
No matter how undead it is, it makes no sense. Even his bones must have been reduced to dust, but the Demon King, who had lost his form, is returning to his original form.
“Haha, haha…”
Stella is dumbfounded and falls to the ground. With this, Stella was completely in a near-dead state.
“It was an amazing experience. “If it hadn’t been for the undead, I would have been completely pinned down.”
The Demon King began to slowly take his steps in this direction again.
Overwhelming strength.
The sword, which had always been light since becoming a warrior, feels infinitely heavy in a situation where it is difficult to even block each one.
“Rotten…”
I can see the Demon King’s leg muscles gaining strength. As I tighten my grip on my sword to fight back, a white light flies out from behind the Demon King.
“Hmm?”
A pure white sword, unlike my black sword. A sword filled with the power of Gaia, the god of life, cuts through the demon king’s thigh.
“Hmm—.”
The Demon King frowns and leans slightly. And before I knew it, the red-haired warrior arrived next to me.
“Did you wait?”
“It’s late.”
“There were a lot of demons I had to cut down on the way.”
Charlotte, the goddess of death both before and after returning, and a warrior with the power to gain a superior position over demons. The wounds she had just inflicted on the demon king did not heal easily.
“It’s late. “I’m sorry.”
“Wow. It’s huge, right here?”
Two demons suddenly appeared here. It was a set of the former Four Guardian Kings Tonya and the current Four Guardian Kings.
“Wow?! Wangjjijji are you okay?!”
And Kelly, covered in blood but without any injuries of her own, arrived here as well. Even though Eline and Stella became incapable of fighting at the same time… The strength I had prepared remained.
“Daron.”
I look into Ray’s eyes that call me. The expression has become even more serious. That’s the same for Prenya.
Yeah, it’s not over yet.
“After… Wow.”
I adjusted my grip on the sword and took a long, deep breath. And I open my eyes firmly.
… The devil begins to approach here again.
