by fnovelpiaWhoa~
A strong wind sweeps past.
“Kuh… .”
“Are you okay?… .”
I got my balance and stood up.
I stumbled for a moment, but I held on with my mental strength.
A pit tens of meters long can be seen ahead.
This is the trace of an explosion that occurred when the Death Knight and my powers were added to the Arch Lich’s self-destructor.
“Huuuu… .”
I checked my body for a moment.
Just a simple bruise is all.
There was less injury than I thought.
“… Richie is dead. And we lived.”
Next, I looked at the Death Knight standing in front of me.
All of the heavy armor was torn, and several of the bones were cracked.
Quite a bit of damage.
I found out why I was fine.
‘… ‘Are you protecting me?’
why?
Without even thinking about it, he protected me.
I thought it might be similar to the symbol I tried to save him from.
… It’s not bad.
What is cooperation?
Thanks to this, I was able to survive without much shock even after being swept up in a suicide bomber. The outcome, which may have resulted in one person dying, has changed.
So is it all over now?
The Arch Lich is not visible.
It’s natural since I was in the middle of an explosion, but for some reason it feels like there’s something left…
“… Who are you?”
Someone approached us.
Red lion head.
He was the head of the Magnus Training Center.
It seemed like he left the cadets with Chalosi and came to investigate us separately.
“Why are humans and Death Knights together? I’ll have to explain it well. I suspect you as the instigator of this incident.”
“I-”
chuck.
The Death Knight was stopped when he was about to answer.
The training center director is asking me.
Moreover, the Death Knight is less gifted with words than me and, unlike his student, has poor judgment.
It’s my turn to step forward.
“Did you feel good about the life you sent earlier?”
“Living?… … no way! Was it you who warned us?
“The instigator of the incident is the Arch Lich who was fighting with us. And he just died.”
“… If that’s true, a detailed explanation is needed. I will listen further and decide whether to be hostile towards you.”
Death Knight and I have exhausted our strength.
It could be dangerous if the training director attacked, but he didn’t seem to have any intention of attacking right away, perhaps because he saw me saving the former cadet earlier.
Now all I have to do is persuade him well… .
Kuruk.
Coo coo coo coo-
Suddenly I felt the vibration of the ground.
“Suddenly what?”
“The ground is shaking.”
I turned my attention to where the explosion occurred.
In a place where even the remains of trees and grass were withered, a red pillar of light rose into the sky.
“Ah… Oh my.”
I forgot about it for a while.
Arch Lich’s self-destructor.
It was not an ordinary self-destruction, but a ritual of sacrificing oneself. In other words, something that will disturb the surroundings even after self-destruction is about to wake up.
“What is going on!?”
As the situation progressed, Chalosi, who had been watching from afar, also came nearby.
“Dimension again?”
“… What does that mean?”
The training director asked a question in response to my muttering.
Unfortunately, soon a monster worse than the Arch Lich awakens here.
“It would be better for everyone to step back. Because you never know who will come through that portal.”
“Portal?”
“It is a one-way portal opened through a black magic ritual. The Arch Lich sacrificed himself to summon something else. It will appear soon.”
“Huh?… .”
Who exactly is it?
If the Arch Lich is someone’s apostle or contractor, that person will come over.
It must be a powerhouse of at least the 70th floor or higher.
Coo coo coo!!
In the shaking earth and pillars of light.
I started to feel a sense of popularity.
Kuguk.
“Ugh!!?”
Instructor Chalosi knelt down.
The oppressive force of the surroundings.
It feels like a huge rock is pressing down on me.
I, the training center leader, and the Death Knight survived with our well-trained bodies, but Chalosh, the wizard, seemed to have a hard time.
“Large!… You looked indecent for a moment.”
The guy quickly got up after using strengthening magic and looked forward again.
I also looked ahead.
Sreuk-
A black figure appears in the pillar of light.
Two black wings.
horns on the head.
Gray skin.
It is a human form born with the characteristics of a devil.
If a demon wears something like that and takes human form, it is at least a mid-level demon. For example, a succubus or an incubus are representative examples.
Of course, they are all strong.
For the devil, an outstanding body is a basic characteristic.
High-ranking demons may also have special hexes or unique abilities.
Insanely powerful energy.
Such a devil had descended here.
It’s a disaster.
It feels more powerful than I thought.
We can’t win with our current strength.
Death Knight was injured.
I too was very tired.
The power of the training center director is not enough.
‘Is running away the best option? .’
I had no idea it would get this big.
I looked around for a moment.
At this point, running away alone is… … .
Stop.
Suddenly we made eye contact.
With my student hiding in the forest far away and watching.
‘what?… .’
My head feels hot.
Why are they hiding in a place like that?
Two wide-open eyes.
For some reason, their eyes were worried about me.
ah… Can not be done.
Change of plans.
It must absolutely be stopped.
Otherwise, even your students may get caught up in it.
“I’m going to go back. Everyone get out of the way!!”
I stepped forward.
If you want to kill the devil, now is your chance.
“What are you trying to do? With that body-”
Body strengthening level 2.
Suddenly, suddenly.
Cheek!-
◎︎ Temporarily increases strength by 51.
◎︎ Temporarily increases agility by 57.
◎︎ Stamina is temporarily reduced by 43.
◎︎ All stamina has been consumed.
◎︎ Mental strength decreases rapidly.
◎︎ Quickly calm down!
“Huh?… .“
The level of the body was forcibly raised.
So that I can accept the strength I have saved up until now.
Morale (dead energy).
The energy of death.
A transcendent power that is generally comparable to that of an undead or a warlock.
When mixed with mana, it becomes black magic.
When mixed with living things, it becomes a demon.
I have very high morale.
⊙︎ Dependent abilities.
Luck: 24
Endurance: 549
Fraud: 2,074
Detail: 932
Mental Power: 1,778
In numerical terms, it is 2,074.
The amount would be dozens of times greater than that of a Death Knight or an Arch Lich.
For reference, fraud is usually neutralized with mana and used as black magic. This is because it is very dangerous to handle with bare hands.
But there is no choice.
I may be able to survive with this body, but I can’t save my strength after coming this far.
The only way to resolve this situation is to really do our best.
It boosted pure morale.
Tiring!~
◎︎ Abnormal strength is present.
◎︎ All abilities are doubled.
◎︎ The body is overloaded.
◎︎ When control is lost, corruption develops.
“… … … .”
Pain that constricts the whole body.
It stings so much that I feel paralyzed.
‘If I pull it up any further, I’ll die before I can fight.’
Please, let this body hold on.
It’s cheap-
Approximately one-fourth of the frauds darkened the surrounding area.
“What is this energy… … .”
The Death Knight looks at him in surprise.
But even this is not enough.
The level felt at the portal is, at best, a transcendental level, on the verge of reaching demigod status.
In terms of towers, it would be a powerhouse that surpasses the 80th floor.
I don’t know if it’s possible… .
[It looks difficult.]
Suddenly, a woman’s voice passed through my mind.
Who is this?
It doesn’t feel unfamiliar.
Sreuk-
There is no time to think again this time.
The demon that appears in the red portal spreads its wings and walks forward.
Now that you have just crossed the dimension, this is your only chance.
I took a leaping stance.
Sigh~
But what happened?
A sudden refreshing feeling envelops my whole body.
[Don’t die in a place like this.]
Tiring!!
◎︎ Dimensional interference has been detected.
◎︎ Your status is temporarily strengthened.
◎︎ Resistance increases by 200.
◎︎ Cold prevents rot.
◎︎ The protection of the ice mountain will be granted. Temporarily gains access to all ice and water.
A wave of strong power rising rapidly.
A chill stronger than solid steel hardens my body. It seems like everything can be frozen.
Tsupot!!
The moment I realized that, I took a leap.
I have no choice but to use anything.
“Ugh… Damn people… … .”
The devil, who has come out of the portal and is muttering something, gets closer in an instant.
There is no need for a magic sword.
Slurp.
He created an ice sword that did not melt with his fingertips.
A sword with a sharp, sharp anticipation.
If this is… .
‘possible!!’
Whirling!!
A thick morale enveloped the ice sword.
He appeared in front of the devil and struck down his sword, releasing a chill forward.
Kwaang!!
Damn it!!
Coo coo coo!!!
“Ugh!!?”
The devil blocked the sword with one arm.
At the same time, a huge ice mountain range rose behind him.
Unfortunately, it was not possible to freeze the devil.
“What are you again!!!!”
The devil’s slightly embarrassed expression catches my eye.
Damn.
The arm he hit was slightly frozen.
Resistance is weaker than expected.
No, when I looked closely, I saw that he was covered in scars.
It feels like I was fighting someone just moments ago and barely escaped with a summon.
Damn it.
“Ugh!!”
It’s nothing bad.
The chill rose further. Eventually, his resistance broke through and his entire arm began to freeze.
Along with that, a deep fraud creeps in.
“Kaaa!!!! This damn thing!!!”
Fraud gathered together has the power to corrupt life.
However, the freezing properties are the opposite.
A completely incompatible match.
But it suited me better than I thought.
It looks fine on the outside, but it rots on the inside and eats away at the other person’s life without them knowing.
blast furnace.
“You’re like a bug!! Kill me now!!… Well, what is it? Why can’t my arms move-”
I broke the arm of the guy whose life was at an end.
Damn it!!
“What… ”
Wow!!-
Then, the sharp blade of the ice sword slashed the devil’s body.
A broken and flying arm.
Long cut torso.
The devil’s eyes widen.
At the same time, morale crept into the path cut by the sword.
Bye!!
“Keuuu!!!!!”
Now is a golden opportunity.
Therefore, I deflected the left fist of the guy who came at me with my body.
Kuhwaaaang!!!
“Sigh!!!!”
The world shakes.
Pain in the side.
I feel like my insides have exploded.
Let’s hold on.
Hang in there.
Don’t stop attacking.
I opened my eyes wide.
I ignored my disheveled focus and stretched out my feet. You can’t kill it now or ever. You must give flesh and take bones.
Even though I felt like I was going to collapse.
softly.
Deep.
Wow!!
stabbing the heart
Split it to the side.
“Ugh!!… What.”
cook.
Tsk.
Self-made!!!
He spun around once, stepped on the Jinak, grabbed his forehead with his left hand, froze it, and at the same time cut up his body with a large slash.
S, Sze.
Wow!!
The blood splashing here and there freezes red.
“Qu… Okay, stop. Save me… … Now, let’s talk for a moment!!… … .”
“The main pole!… That’s it!!!”
Damn it!!
The chill was concentrated.
The moment I broke through its resistance, I froze its entire face and burst it with force into its maw.
Wow!!!
Red ice shards.
Sharp fragments grazed my entire body.
ah… .
dizzy.
I want to collapse.
The limit has been reached.
The pain felt like it would make me vomit everything right away. But a shy smile appeared.
… Because I won.
Slurp.
dump.
The demon, whose head was crushed by ice, slowly fell to his knees.
It was heavenly luck.
A devil caught off guard.
Sudden blessing.
Above all, a devil who was already wounded.
Otherwise, I would have died.
No, it’s still breathtaking.
◎︎ Take it easy! The body is seriously damaged.
Chii-
The heat of my hot body was cooled by the chill.
The physical strength was lifted, and the morale calmed down.
“Ha… … .”
Cold breath rises.
It tastes like death.
I really don’t have any strength.
Stumble~
I came to my senses, but my body gave up on its own.
However, if you fall here, it can be dangerous. Therefore, I draw on power that is not there-
“Entrust yourself.”
chuck.
Before I knew it, Death Knight was supporting me.
Was he coming to help? Yes, you were planning to fight back too.
Being able to rely on it, even if just for a moment… .
It’s not that bad.
I relaxed and gave up my weight.
Whilick~
The guy picked me up, carried me and left the place.
I turned off all my senses and focused on staying sane.
That’s how we left the battlefield.
…
…
…
Tiring!!
◎︎ Defeated the transcendent level demon noble Balkas.
◎︎ Bounty of 90,000p will be settled.
◎︎ Karma increases by +11.
◎︎ Take it easy! Life deteriorates rapidly.
◎︎ The cold temporarily seals the wound.
*
Clap and flutter.
The devil collapsed.
All the strong pressure was released.
Chalosi and the training center director looked at each other blankly.
The demon that was weighing down the surrounding area with its energy alone collapsed in an instant.
Incredible sight.
That’s why I had doubts even after seeing it with my own eyes.
“… What happened?”
“You’re the devil… The black-haired man finished it in one go.”
“I know. I know… No matter how you look at it, wasn’t he a high-ranking devil of a different rank?”
“… … … .”
I was speechless.
A mountain range of ice rising high above.
A thick scum that dried up the surrounding grass and trees.
And a high-ranking demon was cut to pieces beyond recognition and fell to the floor.
It all happened in an instant.
It was over in one long held breath.
“I can’t believe it… … .”
I was gritting my teeth and rolling my eyes wondering what to do. The sudden intimidation of the devil made me think that it was all over for a moment.
But why?
dead.
He died without being able to properly resist the man who did not seem very strong.
And then he disappeared along with the Death Knight.
Does this make any sense?
“… What should I do? Should we chase those two?”
“Chalosi. There are times when you say stupid things too.”
“Yes… I will save my life.”
“First of all… … Let’s at least check that devil’s body.”
The two reluctantly approached the corpse.
Blood-red ice fragments.
A flaccid black fraud.
The head of the training center wrapped himself in a steel flag and turned the body over.
“… I see something strange.”
“Why is this mark… .”
The two expressed doubts.
A symbol of a skull wearing a black wizard’s hat.
This is because the sign of the Necropolis was visible.
The tower has this saying:
The target of Necropolis is guaranteed to die.
Commonly called the mark of death, it was engraved on the devil’s back.
Although he was killed by a black-haired man… .
Originally, he was a devil destined to die soon.
So the case ended with only questions remaining.
