Chapter 86 – #19 the Decisive Battle, the Warrior’s Sword Reaches the Sky (3)
“【■■■■■… ■■, ■■■■■】”
“【■■■■■■■■, ■■■■■■】”
Whoa, whoa, whoa, almost being torn apart by the roar of the raging storm, a song-like incantation flutters in the air.
It is Count Meln who casts the spell.
The language that flowed out of his muttering mouth was a noble language unique to demons that Emilia did not know.
The order flows.
The words flow
As if singing the current situation. Or as if sighing at that ‘little sun’ rising in the sky.
The wrist, which Count Meln had cut with a knife a moment ago, was already healed.
However, the large amount of blood that was sprayed into the air remains as it is, drawing some geometric figures and letters in the air, drawing a red trajectory.
“【■■■■――Draw a line, draw a character].”
“【Drawing is Suho’s song].”
“【I will build a wall of protection to protect my precious things in this place today].”
From the mouth that flowed the language of the demons a while ago,
At some point, the language completely changed, and the words of the incantation in the common language of the continent flowed out.
The content of the spell or chant honestly doesn’t matter.
In the end, magic is something you create and complete within yourself.
It inspires one’s mind and reminds one of something.
Build ideas,
Compiling rituals,
And if you answer in the right order… Then the magic manifests itself.
Of course, since magic requires various preparations and tools,
You have to pay the price to get the results you want.
Now, as a reward, he ate the ‘Egg of the Demon King’ and offered blood with high purity magical power, so that too was overflowing.
Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo… Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo… !
Oh oh oh oh…
The storm still rages wildly.
However, the ‘little sun’, which had been shining unsteadily until now, had subsided as if it was suddenly turned off. It gets dark.
It’s not gone. Nothing like that hoped for happened.
The magic core that showed only a faint light as if it would go out for a while.
Then, while emitting an intense red light that was more than before, as if it would blind one’s eyes, he spewed out a prepared torrent of magical power.
『――――――――――――!!!!」
Ooooo!!!!
With the roar of a monster without vocal cords, made of magic that made the heavens tremble.
The light of death shoots down to the ground.
A high-heat, high-compression magic cannon.
It was an act of violence, as if it were shooting fragments of the sun straight down to the earth. A bombardment of red light, containing the power of terrifying violence.
A terrifying flame of extinction spewed out, revealing a clear intent to kill living things.
Earl Meln looked up at it, which evaporated the light falling violently and shot out while pushing away the strong wind.
‘… I can’t stop all of that.’
I know intuitively. Earl Meln is also an alchemist, but he’s a wizard anyway.
He had no ingenuity to handle such a torrent of magical power, relentless violence with only murderous intentions, he would have consumed more than half of the ‘Devil King’s Egg’.
――But, it is.
Knowing that it was not enough, Earl Meln held out his gloved right hand toward the rushing light.
–Okay. To a certain extent, it will definitely be fine.
* * *
Knowledge that he did not know permeates into Count Meln.
Scenes he did not know, memories he did not know burrow into him.
The words he muttered with his own mouth a moment ago were words that Earl Meln did not know.
Everything belongs to the devil.
Everything is the memory of the Demon King.
It is the role of a knight to protect the demon lord’s body.
And the role of Mona, the servant, is to protect and pass on the memory and soul of the demon king.
Connected through Count Meln’s shadow, she uses her contract as a medium to infuse the demon king’s soul she kept into him.
“Under… Kkeuk… !”
My heart feels like it’s about to break.
A dwarf human who can’t live for 100 years is like a candle in front of the soul of a mighty devil whose fundamentals are different.
An intense flame that melts the wick of a single candle called Devro Meln all at once.
Feeling the soul of such a devil himself, the bones and flesh are separated, and the soul endures the pain of melting, and manages to hold on to reason.
Face the Demon King’s memory.
Witness the magic of the demon king.
Remember the demon king’s language.
Learn the experience of the Demon King.
You don’t have to learn everything. Cut out only the necessary memories little by little and consume them.
There is no need to attack now.
Defense. Defense only.
A shield to block the enemy’s attack, memory and magic were needed to do so.
When he pulled out all the necessary memories, just in time, a bombardment of death was shooting down from the sky.
–Okay. Okay.
――Because the preparations are already complete.
All that remains is to put a period on this order.
All you have to do is give a name to the eloquent contents with your wishes.
Earl Meln, while blood was dripping from her eyes, nose, and ears at some point,
The last order was put into her mouth.
“【Figaroa, Neva Grail].”
A bombardment of light that shoots down.
Between the bombardment and the balcony where Emilia and Count Meln stood,
A golden barrier appeared.
* * *
What appeared was a golden barrier.
The golden barrier made of geometric patterns and strange patterns and formulas that cannot be understood by human wisdom,
Not just one, but two, three, and finally eight layers were created and lined up at once.
The large, fantastic wall that seemed to cover the entire castle shone in a beautiful golden light, reflecting the dark night sky and singing a splendid movie.
A special shield of super-high concept, created with the memories and techniques of the old demon king.
The dragon’s breath collided with the shield that appeared with majestic majesty.
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh… !!
Quadd deed deed deed deed deed… !!
A bombardment of red light falling from the sky.
And the mystical golden barrier.
The battle between the red spear and the golden shield seemed to be opposing each other at first glance.
However, it wasn’t long before the barrier in front cracked and shattered into pieces.
The next barrier follows.
Even this barrier was able to block the bombardment only briefly.
This too was shattered like the first barrier, and the shelling continued to destroy the third, fourth, and fifth barriers smoothly.
“Nice… Huh…”
Cool… Kuhu town… !
Earl Meln, standing on the balcony, coughs up blood.
At some point, the amount of blood flowing from her eyes, from her ears, and from her nose increased, and with a cough, dark red blood clots vomited out on the floor.
The right arm raised to hold the barrier trembled.
Every time the barrier was pushed back and shattered by the shelling, the impact returned to this arm and this body, destroying Count Meln’s body.
A blood vessel somewhere in his body burst, and in an instant, strange and blue bruises appeared all over his body.
The blood that flowed from his cracked skin dyed his elegant tuxedo red.
However.
Even so.
Nevertheless.
Earl Meln trembled in his convulsions, but he stood firm with his raised right arm unmoved, even though he was about to collapse.
Even though it seems like it will be pushed back by that bombardment right away, it reinforces it again by adding the remaining magic power to the remaining barrier.
The sixth barrier that lasted longer than the fourth and fifth barriers.
But even that, with a difference of only a few seconds, just as shattered and shattered.
Deed deed deed deed deeddeeddeeddeeddeeddeeddeeddeed!!!
Seventh barrier.
It’s already starting to crack. It shakes unsteadily and seems like it will disintegrate at any moment.
Blood spurted from the raised right arm.
Also, I don’t know which vein has burst.
The body that ingested the ‘Egg of the Demon King’ tries to recover immediately according to its nature, but the wounds increase faster than it recovers.
More than meets the eye, the insides are already in a horrendous mess.
‘In front of my eyes, it’s cloudy…’
In the eyes that opened with difficulty, I could already see almost nothing.
In the flickering field of vision, I could only barely see the two-colored light source that seemed to penetrate even above my eyelids.
Without knowing what kind of situation it is, I just realize that the seventh barrier has been broken through the shock that comes through my body.
Only the last one already.
However, there is no strength to maintain that one sheet.
Earl Meln, who maintains the barrier, has already turned into rags both physically and mentally in this instant.
‘I have to stop… A little bit… More… !’
My heart wants it, but my body won’t follow me.
After a while, his trembling arms left Count Meln’s will and fell, and his knees lost strength and he collapsed on his knees.
Mona, who barely escaped from the shadows, supported Count Meln’s body, but at least the barrier was over.
Can no longer block
As long as Earl Meln has fallen, that barrier won’t even be made of paper and will be shattered as well.
Now, it’s over…
“Good work, you. … I don’t think so, but I’ll praise you for your efforts. Just this time.”
Ah, a voice like wind leaked out of the throat where the vocal cords were damaged.
Even in a state where it seems that sight and hearing are almost all blown away,
Only that voice,
That light,
He was still able to perceive clearly.
“――――――”
With only the sound of air escaping, he called out Emilia’s name.
Whether or not she heard that voice, Emilia glanced back at Count Meln, passed by him, and stepped in front of her.
The exact opposite of just a moment ago.
This time, Emilia stood in front of Earl Meln and glared at the sky.
What reached his gaze was a golden barrier that was unstablely cracked and shaken, and a comet-like red light trying to push the barrier away.
And in Emilia’s hands looking up at that light.
A greatsword, roughly wrapped around the dazzling silver torrent, was lifted.
