Chapter 129 – Battle to Subdue the Demon King
Bang!
The knights and demons who were fighting next to us a moment ago flew up into the sky with an explosion.
The dirt floor exploded and small pieces of stone and dust flew around, obstructing our view, but we ran forward with our eyes almost closed.
“You can’t go here…”
Shhh!
He ran first and cut off the head of the enemy blocking his path. We broke through the enemy forces by cutting down everything that stood in our way or bombarding us with magic.
As I ran forward, I could see the large Demon King’s castle getting closer and closer. It seemed like demonic energy rose from the ground and inflicted a debuff.
We were able to pass safely thanks to the holy power of many priests and Saint Theo.
The demonic beasts and demons who had become powerful due to demonic energy began to be pushed out little by magic due to the holy sword’s sacred power and overwhelming firepower.
Among them, when a monster with a huge body appeared, Nana Karina went first, defeated the enemy, and ran to the castle as best as we could.
“Ranelle!”
When I turned around at the voice calling me, three demons who had probably approached me before I knew it were holding daggers from above and trying to cut me down.
‘The enemy is three. Cut it in one go!’
He stops running by forcing his legs into the ground. The shock came from the end of the leg because the leg, which was moving with chemical force, stopped suddenly, but I used the shock in reverse and immediately took the stance.
He grasps the sword in his hand tightly and cuts it with precision.
“Wow!?”
“Evil!”
“Fuck?!”
The three demons’ upper and lower bodies separated and fell to the ground. The demons didn’t seem to realize that they were dead either, so they wriggled and moved, but they couldn’t move because their bodies were already dead.
“Let’s go quickly!”
“Yes!”
“Yes!”
Leaving the dying demons behind, we ran to the castle, stepping over corpses and demons.
“Erina! Ouch! Please open the door!”
In order to break through the tightly closed castle gate, Aya and Erina’s magic, which has high penetrating power, opened the gate and path for the demons again.
The wind-wrapped arrow contained Erina’s magical power and created overwhelming power.
Wind and flame.
The two attributes ate each other, smashing down enemies and castle gates like one wild beast.
“Let’s just go in!”
As we entered first through the wide open road and open gate, the knights and wizards who followed us blocked the demons from entering by banging against the shield.
“We will endure, so please take the Demon King’s hand quickly!”
With those words, all the knights used their shields and artifacts to create a new wall. It was not a wall created by stones or steel, but by people’s hopes and courage, and the demons could not easily break through.
Looking at that scene, we regained our composure and went up the castle to subdue the demon lord.
I almost got lost because I didn’t know the way inside, but fortunately, Karina showed me the right path, so I was able to get to where the demon king was without her traps and getting lost.
While wandering around the devil’s castle and dealing with disgusting bugs and strange magic weapons, I lost some stamina, but thanks to the effect of the armor, I was able to quickly recover my stamina.
“Everyone… Be careful.”
“No way, this place…”
“Yes, everyone knows.”
Stopping in front of her ominous door, Karina shook her neck back and forth, stretching her body and preparing for the fight ahead.
We tensed up at that sight and everyone began preparing for her final fight. Aya is practicing precision by adjusting her arrows to her heart’s content, and Erina is preparing her magic in advance using a spell called Memorise.
Shio just prayed and wished us good luck.
Emil and I checked the condition of the sword.
“Nia, how is the blade’s condition now?”
[I’m fully prepared!]
“What about you, Uni?”
[120 percent! Transcending limits!]
Emil and I gave each other a satisfied look and slowly gripped our swords tightly. For a prosecutor, the sword is like life.
No, a swordsman without a sword can be considered dead.
This sword is my life and the last means to protect myself.
Thinking about my past match against Lennon, who was stronger than me, I thought about my weaknesses.
The overwhelming speed is both an advantage and a disadvantage. The faster the speed, the harder it is for my body to handle it. However, as the saying goes, speed is power, it can produce overwhelming destructive power.
“I’ll give you a blessing before we go in!”
Sio, who was praying, slowly gave us light…
“Kuhak!? This crazy bitch… Cough…!”
“S-sorry!”
Shio may have forgotten that her blessing acts as a debuff on Karina, but as soon as the buff was applied, Karina coughed and tried to hit Shio’s head with her hand blade.
With Karina’s strength, Shio’s head could have been split open, so Emil and I hurriedly blocked Karina’s hand.
“Ugh…!”
“Oh, that’s right, our armor too…”
Since it was an armor with the goddess’ blessing, it was seen in real time that Karina’s impression worsened just by touching her body.
Can we fight like this?
Everyone sat quietly in front of the room where the Demon King was, ate some water and some bread, recovered her stamina, and waited for Karina to get better.
“Huh, haha… It’s warm.”
“Did you heat it with magic?”
“Would Lord Ranel eat it too?”
“Good.”
Erina brewed her tea with magic, so she quietly sat next to her and drank the tea together. Although it was said to be a traditional elf drink in the past, it looked and tasted just like green tea.
Is it okay for us to be like this while knights are dying outside?
Karina, whose complexion looked much better than before, stood up again and looked at her fist.
“Are you okay now?”
“Huh? Of course. But if you bless me again, this time I will kill you. Do you understand?”
“Yes!”
When Shio saw Karina’s fist, she lowered her head and secretly ran behind me.
A woman hiding behind a man… Isn’t it shameful?
“Then…”
She closed her eyes for a moment, and when she opened them, black skin sprouted on Karina’s body and horns began to grow larger on her head.
The bat wings on her back also began to grow, showing off her majesty.
Demon and warrior party.
I wondered if there was such a strange combination, but it was maintained because each individual’s force was overwhelming.
“Then shall we go in?”
“Yes!”
Wow!
Karina pushed the large door wide open and entered inside.
As soon as the door opened, I felt her magic and pure murder rising up her legs, but I walked in front of her, holding her sword tightly.
Sweat is dripping down from my forehead. I could feel the sweat that had become one large droplet running down her forehead and slowly running down her neck and down her jawline.
It was a dark room overall, but when I concentrated, I could see someone sitting in the distance.
“I was wondering where the daughter had gone… But she must have been playing with the warrior.”
“What kind of parent would call his daughter a bitch?”
“You talk like a cheap person.”
Step by step.
The demon lord made of black metal stood up and raised her hand.
Something like black smoke gathered from the bare hand and took the shape of a sword. A large greatsword, not a thin and light rapier.
It was a sword that looked at least three times heavier than the holy sword that Emil carried.
“Emil. “If you get hit by that one, your body will be split in half, right?”
“Ugh, I think so too.”
Emil and me, who had to fight up front, were nervous and raised our mana little by little. Even a mere swipe is a fatal blow, which is probably the word used in situations like this.
Bang!
A brief moment when Emil and I exchanged brief words while holding our swords tightly. Karina, who was next to her, flew like a cannonball and collided with the Demon King first.
Although she blocked the Demon King’s great sword with her strengthened hand, the hand that was blocking her sword began to tremble as Karina was pushed back by her strength.
“Karina!”
As soon as we saw the clash with the Demon King, Emil and I ran in opposite directions and started attacking the Demon King.
I cut diagonally from the right shoulder, and Emil attacks downward from the top.
It was an attack with no place to escape, but the Demon King didn’t even blink and watched us until the end.
‘Eyeballs move in the opposite direction…!’
The eyeballs on both sides looked strangely in various places and then began to move and respond. Karina, who was in front, pushed away with the face of her sword, and I, who was swinging my sword next to her, kicked her.
And Emil’s attack from above must have been difficult to block, so he easily dodged it.
We quickly dodged the attacks of three people, but we knew it wouldn’t end with this, so we started delivering follow-up attacks.
Karina uses her fists and legs to attack the enemy, while Emil and I attack the enemy with swordsmanship at close range.
Shio and Erina, who were watching from afar, were using magic and holy power to support us.
And Aya…
“Seuuuuu.”
As I pulled the bowstring, I continued to compress the magical power of the wind.
