episode_0096

The glass cabinet containing the Holy Grail of Jinhyeol is falling like crazy, as if it is alone to withstand an earthquake.

No matter how many powerful magics were cast, it completely burst the grip of the hideous demon lord, but the recoil seems to have been significant.

-Wow…!

A disgusting giant lump of flesh cries out in pain.

However, despite this, Jinhyeol’s greed for the Holy Grail did not go away.

With a terrible rustling sound, the guy’s arm regenerates and splits apart.

It was like a rough hemp cloth full of blood being torn into one branch, two branches… In the past, the flesh that was split into dozens of branches twisted itself like a rope. So, in the blink of an eye, without even having time to do anything, the lobby of the Duke’s main building was filled with bundles of thick tentacles.

“There are so many different things…”

-Kuuu…!

As if in response to my words, there was a loud howl, and at the same time, bundles of whips made of twisted flesh struck in a dizzying trajectory.

“Whoop…!”

What we are aiming for is still the Holy Grail of Jinhyeol. It won’t be easy to overcome because there are many magics at play, but you can’t be at ease either.

Your intuition warns you. It’s time to squeeze in the strength you don’t have right now.

Acceleration. Acceleration after acceleration.

The world changes slowly, and the trajectories of tentacles rushing forward are clearly visible.

“Kaaap!”

The sword swung in one breath slashed dozens of whips dozens of times. however.

“Ugh…!”

hard. Even though it was an attack that manifested auras to the extreme, only one or two tentacles were properly cut off. I guess I should say that the fact that I am shocked and cringed is a comfort to my heart.

“Even if he rots, he is still the devil…!”

Looking closely, I saw that enormous magical energy had been condensed in each tentacle.

Even so, it’s an attack made after drinking damned holy water, and this is the only effect it has?

“Master. Please step back.”

“At least help weak people!”

If it weren’t for Sarah and Marilyn, they would have had to watch in silence as the glass cabinet was tied up in a bundle of tentacles.

How many times have I been pushed back by a bundle of tentacles that rushed at me like that?

-Kuuu…!

Perhaps he sensed a formidable resistance, or perhaps he also had feelings of impatience or impatience, but as the quivering flesh moving from his body moved, the thickness of the bundle of tentacles became thicker, and the condensed magical energy became so dense that it leaked out.

“What…!”

“Pfft…!”

A strength and number that even the two women’s Auror blades could not handle.

We had no choice but to retreat several times, as if we were being swept away by rough waves.

“Damn…!”

A sense of crisis and anxiety hit me at the same time. What do we do? How can I stop it? No, how can I kill him?

“Haaap! Looom! Are you alive!?”

-Kuuu…!

At that time, with a flash of light, part of its disgusting head was cut off. Although it regenerated quickly, we were able to take a breather just because the bundle of tentacles stopped for a moment.

“Hyung!? How did you get here!? The replica is!”

“I left that to the drivers!”

“What!? What about the Demon King’s army outside the castle?”

“I almost got rid of that! All you have to do is finish it! Hmm! Only a few knights turned to the territory!”

The demon king’s regenerated head was cut off again by his older brother, who roughly swung his sword.

“Rom! Can’t you move that relic!?”

“It’s impossible! The magic is sticking together!”

“Tch…! How can I kill this guy!?”

“I don’t know! But maybe you just need to remove the magic circle spread across the territory…or get rid of the replica!”

“It’s not something we can do right now…!”

“Whoop…!”

While my brother was complaining and cutting off the head, we also desperately cut off the tentacles.

-Kaaa…!

The devil’s painful voice. But this time, the emotional fragmentation felt even more acute.

I don’t know if it’s my mood, but it seems like my regenerative power has decreased. Is it really possible to finish it if we keep pushing like this?

“Cheer up everyone! Looks like he’s at his limit too!”

Marilyn encourages us at the right time. Even though it is not a special skill or magic, I feel like my body has gained strength and my concentration has become stronger. Is this called leadership or charisma? Well, since she was the queen of monsters, it would not be an exaggeration to say that she was born with such aptitude.

“It gets smaller! His body is shrinking!”

When I looked at that hopeful voice, I saw that the demon king’s body was shrinking at an incredible rate. The sight of the fuselage, which had been over twenty meters long, suddenly reduced to less than half was enough to make the attack even more exciting.

Kang! Cough!

However, it didn’t take long for it to turn out that all of those phenomena were just our hopeful observations.

“What…!”

“Kk…!?”

However, the sight of the Auror Blade, which had been working well until now, getting blocked and being thrown away, was enough to make me feel shocked and despairing.

“……”

“……”

We, who reflexively stopped the attack and retreated, had no choice but to keep a heavy silence.

“Kkirruk, kkirrrli rtur ruk…”

His voice resonates clearer and more certain than before.

“Kiaaa…”

“This is crazy…!”

It was not reduced due to lack of regenerative power, but rather compressed itself.

When I came to my senses, I saw that the Demon King, who had appeared to be nothing more than a giant lump of flesh, had the shape of a female human with clear outlines. It was impossible to think of it as a human due to its height of up to 5 meters and its unorganized and tangled flesh… However, there was no one here who did not know what the change meant.

Because my instincts were ringing a danger alarm to the point that it hurt.

“Kirrraaaa!”

“Pfft!”

“Ugh!”

It was just a single roar. Three Sword Masters and one Expert Senior were swept away by that single non-verbal noise and fell and rolled around as if caught in a typhoon.

“Cough…!”

The inside of my body feels like it’s boiling, and the muscles of my entire body are squeezing out the pain.

“Phase 2…! I’m really screwed…”

Yes, if you think about it, there was no way a demon lord raid was possible with a party whose maximum power was Sword Master. There must be at least one Grand Master. No, if you are a true demon lord, even being a grand master is not enough.

“Kruk, murmur, keeeh…!”

The demon king bent down, staring at the Holy Grail of Jinhyeol with vertically split red pupils like an animal, and stretched out his right arm with a fierce force.

“Kyaaa!”

“But that doesn’t mean you can’t just sit still!”

I threw the six bottles of holy water I had purchased in an instant. I wanted to pour out dozens of bottles, but the maximum I could purchase in a split second was six.

Clang! Clink!

With a clear bursting sound, the Demon King’s arms are soaked with holy water.

◦ at

The Demon King cried out in pain and trembled. The arm of the guy that touched the holy water was also spewing out thick smoke and ash.

“…Damn…”

But that was it. Its thick arms grabbed the glass cabinet very easily.

There was another blinding flash of light and an explosion of sound.

I had high hopes for the violent force that would make the atmosphere tremble, but the results were disappointing. The protective magic that had previously easily destroyed the Demon King’s hand now only created soot.

“Kiaaa…!”

The glass shattered and the wooden frame was simply crushed. Even dense magical energy flows out from there, corrupting and corroding the things inside its grasp.

“Kkirruk, kirruk!”

Before I knew it, the guy was holding the Holy Grail of Jinhyeol in his hands.

“No, damn it…!”

I knew I had to stop it right away, but the damage I suffered was more serious than I thought.

“Damn…!”

Realizing that I couldn’t stand up, I immediately bought an elixir, opened the bottle, and drank it. Meanwhile, Sarah, Marilyn, and Camel, who have somewhat relieved their shock, rush to the devil.

“Kat!”

Whoops!

“Aaagh!”

“Aaagh!”

Even though I couldn’t hold on for even a moment due to the energy wave that was released like a snort, I was thrown away.

Fucked. It was really ruined.

” Ki -yeola …! ◦ ◦ ◦

Along with his strange voice, an enormous amount of magical energy flows into the hand holding the Holy Grail. The air was so dense and heavy that it had the smell of decay and decay.

Grumpy, crackly!

The sight of intense sparks jumping out of the chalice looks as if it is screaming.

“Fuck…!”

After realizing what he was trying to do, I immediately bought an elixir and ran to the nearest Saraha. While throwing out holy water from time to time.

Sarah, Marilyn, and Carmel.

The man did not move a muscle until he healed them by feeding them elixir as they each flew away, but instead, the magic energy gathered in his hands became even more intense.

“Forcibly breaking the seal of the Holy Grail! We must attack now!”

“…!!”

“Keuuu

“Attack…begin.”

The sword masters’ weapons that flew out at once had auror blades containing their individual power.

” Knight … ◦ ◦

The Demon King slowly rolled his red eyes and looked in this direction, raising the corners of his mouth as if he was laughing.

Whoops!

Once again, a wave of dense demonic energy swept across all directions, drawing large concentric circles.

“Wow!”

“Keuuuugh…!”

However, this time it did not flop around as easily as before. They gritted their teeth and advanced, their weapons making contact with the demon king’s body.

Wow!

I wondered if it was possible, but it was as expected. The Demon King’s hard body and magical energy were not the kind that could be hurt by an Auror Blade.

“Grrr!”

I thought he was going to fire out energy waves again, but instead, he concentrated his demon energy even more on his hands. Completely ignoring the Auror Blade.

And finally.

Let’s go!

Intense sparks leapt from the chalice. The spark that lasted for a few seconds subsided into heavy silence and left no trace.

Bubbling…bubbling.

And, the sound of boiling water that seemed to come from inside the chalice.

I knew it intuitively even without checking. The seal has been torn apart, and the inside of the Holy Grail… is filled with blood. The sacrifice offered in exchange for that blood would naturally be the lives of the territory’s residents.

“Pfft…!”

Can’t stop it. You can’t stop it either. The overwhelming sense of helplessness almost filled me with despair… but in fact, it wasn’t that there was no way at all.

It can be said to be a last resort, a method like a special move.

“Fuck… I really didn’t want to use this method…!”

I sharpened my teeth by purchasing character slots at a coin shop.

The method itself is not the problem. I don’t even think that it won’t work. Because the system and training space have given us that much trust so far.

Okay, that’s not the problem. The real question is… does he qualify as a collectible character?

I don’t know whose body the former Demon King descended on as a vessel. However, since he would not have taken a farmer from any village and used him as a vessel, the possibility of him being a ‘collector character’ with such talent and power increases significantly.

Also, no one knows how ‘activate logout’ will be implemented if it is a collectible character. In the worst case, it will return you to reality without asking or anything, and it may even unexpectedly let you log out when you want.

In a word, it is a gamble. A complete gamble.

Still, it’s better than everyone dying.

“Phew…!”

I stuffed the three remaining pieces of cake into my mouth. There may be no overlapping effect, but it is a matter of mood. I want to get some hope.

“Kirrraaaa…!”

Bubbly! Bugurrr…!

As time passed, the sound of boiling water inside Jinhyeol’s Holy Grail became more intense. I don’t know how much time remains, but now that the seal is broken, he will be able to focus his full power on us. Even approaching it differently than before would mean risking your life.

“Phew…! Is everyone okay?”

“…okay.”

“You will take some damage, but there will be no problem in battle.”

“You can do as much more as you want!”

My brother, Sarah, and Marilyn gathered around me and answered in voices that revealed their individual personalities.

“I have a way. I can’t kill it, but… there’s a way to seal it. But I can’t do it alone.”

“Are you talking about that subspace?”

I quietly nodded to my brother’s question.

“Are you okay? There is no harm to you?”

“Okay. There’s no problem with that part. But…the problem is that in order to put him in subspace, you have to make physical contact.”

“Whoa…I guess we have to clear a path.”

“That’s right. Can you do it?”

“Who do you think I am? Besides…the women next to me weren’t normal either. That’s easy.”

“Phew…good. Run when you’re ready. I will follow along well.”

At my words, the two people and one fairy sharpened their momentum.

“Then, let me go first!”

The first to attack was Marilyn, who used super acceleration. Her body shot out like a flash and went straight between the demon king’s eyes.

“Earnings…!”

A wave of energy explodes again. Marilyn bounced away as if it was natural, but even for the Demon Lord, it would have been a burden to deal with her speed, so the range of the energy wave was very narrow. Thanks to this, those of us who were least affected were able to cover a considerable distance.

“Grrr…?”

The guy who discovered us late fired out a wave of energy again.

“Master, good luck.”

Saraha, who was one step ahead of me, spread a wide aura in front of her, took the energy wave alone, and collapsed. In the meantime, I ran desperately and the remaining distance was only about 5 meters.

“Sweet!”

Once again, a wave of energy erupted.

“Go! Little brother!”

He jumped over his older brother, who was coughing up blood and blocking the energy wave. 5 meters. It is a short distance that takes less than half of that, let alone one second.

“Kirrr…!”

However, the guy cried as if he was teasing me and lightly shook his fist.

“What…!”

A 5-meter giant’s fist that is so hard that Auror blades cannot penetrate it.

Even in an accelerated accident, the magic energy was flowing so fast and dense that it was late to notice.

“Wow…!”

For a moment, my vision went black. Bones all over the body were shattered and misaligned, and muscles and internal organs were bursting and scattering in all directions.

But, it doesn’t matter.

Because I reached it. If I can reach it even for a moment, I win.

[Characters who have come in contact with the user can be admitted to the ‘Character Development Subspace’. Would you like to let me in?]

“Okay…yeah! Cough!”

Now I just hope I don’t get logged out right away!

A grinning, triumphant smile is depicted floating in the air, spattering blood and flesh.

[Only one character can be stored in one training space. Contact the target again while it is independent]

“…What?”

It was literally a moment when the smile on my face was cruelly crumpled.
