21 – The Greatest Leader (16)
It went by various names.
The terror of the abyss.
Spreading nightmares.
The messenger of chaos.
And among these various names,
As an ancient word that represents a god, a name that symbolizes its transcendental power and authority.
Daigon.
The giant demon with that name looked down at the small human who was holding a sword and weapon in front of him.
A weak and foolish human, about the size of his palm.
Thinking that he could either swallow that insignificant fellow in one gulp, or as he had done until now, make him part of his entourage,
Daigon swung his fist towards that weak bug with his clawed hand still holding the knuckles.
– Roar!!!
Monstrous size and mass,
coupled with an immeasurable power and speed contained in his fist.
An attack that could demolish a building in one blow flew towards the bug at a rapid pace.
– Crash!!!
As the falling fist made a loud noise, it created an enormous shockwave.
With just one blow, it covered a considerable area of the square with dust and debris.
However, Daigon could see.
In the last moment, the small bug managed to narrowly evade his attack.
– “Kuurrr!!!”
The fact that a mere bug had dodged his mighty attack.
Diagon swung his fist once again, feeling a momentary annoyance. With a fierce roar, he unleashed a powerful blow as if dozens of cannonballs had been poured into one spot. However, that annoying little bug managed to evade his attack yet again. Even the ax-wielding companion’s attack was effortlessly avoided, as if it was anticipated. This realization caused a momentary rage to surge within Diagon, and he took a deep breath, gathering the magic flowing through his body. “Kuoooooooo!!!!!” A wave of green energy surged in his mouth. In the sensation of condensed power bubbling like flames, Diagon began to prepare to unleash his immense strength towards the bug. If the attack were to hit, even if it wasn’t a direct hit, the aftermath alone would cause significant damage. Believing that this would surely incinerate the bothersome bug, Diagon prepared to unleash the fully charged green flames. However… In the next moment, Diagon instinctively stopped his attack due to an unexpected event. The wave that was about to be released was swallowed back into his body. The backlash of magic caused by the abruptly cancelled spell. Although the impact was not fatal, Diagon staggered greatly from the sudden shock.
It wasn’t as if Daigon had been attacked.
The reason why he had no choice but to cease his attack.
It was the scene that he saw with his own eyes.
At the moment he was about to launch an attack, there was suddenly a movement of someone hiding behind his family.
His family was the body through which Daigon’s blood flowed, an existence that could be called Daigon’s alter ego.
Daigon instinctively felt a great aversion to attacking his family, and without realizing it, he automatically had no choice but to stop his attack.
And then.
“As anticipated.”
– “!” –
A small human spoke in a cold voice,
The figure that had come out from behind the family and approached this way, dug into the unbalanced lower side of Daigon and began to show a chilling smile.
And then.
– Bang!!
– “Kuuaaahhhhh!!!!”
Sudden pain started to be felt.
A sword piercing into the exposed abdomen of Daigon.
Burning with flames, it gave quite a sharp sensation for a strike from such a small bug.
– “Kreaaahhhhh!!!”
In response to that attack, a loud cry erupted from Daigon’s mouth.
The damage itself wasn’t honestly that great.
It was a sound that burst out not from pain but from anger.
It was the result of the emotions of anger regarding the fact that he allowed himself to be attacked by such a pathetic bug.
And at the same time,
In response to this sound of Dai-gon’s cry, the companion who was beside him immediately began to react.
-“Kueee!!”-
Just as Dai-gon hesitated to attack his companion, the companion also instinctively started swinging an axe towards the small human who dared to attack his master, who he could consider his ‘father’.
As a result of the transformation into Deep Two, his body and strength had become twice as huge compared to when he was human.
The powerful blow, containing considerable destructive power, was aimed at the back of the guy who had been stabbing Dai-gon’s abdomen with a sword.
-Kwaaang!!
A blow filled with incomparable force compared to the bug’s mosquito-like attacks.
However…
-“Ku….”
“Kururu?”
-“Keruryuryuryuryuryu!!!!!!”
In the next moment, a painful cry flowed out of Dai-gon’s mouth.
The powerful blow filled with the companion’s anger hit his abdomen, not that annoying bug.
It ended up striking Dai-gon’s abdomen…
A precise blow landed on the spot that had small wounds due to the flames.
Different from the pain caused by the stinging insect’s attack, this was a dimension of agony that twisted Daigon’s body greatly.
In a hurry to pull out his axe, Kwon-sok exerted all his strength.
However,
Behind Kwon-sok,
A sudden chilling sensation began to be felt intensely.
-“aaah!!!”-
An intense blow that pierced through Kwon-sok’s internal organs.
It was not a simple sword strike, but a pain akin to flames burning in the abdomen, causing Kwon-sok to twist his body heavily.
-Whack!
As a result, the axe was pulled out from the owner’s abdomen.
However, due to its rough brilliance, the axe ended up creating even more chaos as it came out, further messing up Daigon’s body.
-“Krrr…..”
Daigon staggered and let out a pained scream.
And then, in front of him,
The sight of Kwon-sok being overwhelmed by the flames and collapsing to the ground, unable to withstand the insect’s attack.
With the severed mental link between them, Kwon-sok seemed certain of his impending death.
-“Krrr!!!!”
Watching that scene, a frenzy could be sensed in Daigon’s roar that escaped from his mouth.
The powerful death of Kwon-sok, created after a long time.
And then, an extreme injury like nothing he had ever experienced since his birth.
An instantly unfolding, disgraceful calamity.
Daigon began to detonate all the magic power remaining within him.
His body, once green, now blushed crimson,
and his red pupils turned yellow, emitting a chilling aura.
In this moment, there was only one thought in his mind:
Kill that vermin.
With his entire mind and strength focused on this realization,
Daigon started charging towards the insect with his massive body at an incredible speed, completely unaware
of the cold smile curled on its lips.
*
Daigon, now charging with an even more menacing aura than moments before,
signaled the start of phase two in the game.
In his berserk state, he was showing a terrifying sight, crumbling the ground simply by running.
In reality, his already powerful attacks now doubled in strength,
and his speed had increased by 1.5 times.
Before his rage, one attack had left victims on the brink of death, and now with doubled force, it was truly a situation where a single casual blow could deal an instant kill.
However,
-BOOM!!!
In this moment, someone was dodging the monster’s fierce attack.
I was actually feeling more relaxed than ever when facing the guy for the first time.
“In fact, the real difficulty was the first phase…”
Dagon, who appears as the mid-late game boss in the original work.
The users who faced him without realizing his strength all felt despair,
This was due to his unbelievable attack power and infuriating defense strength.
With every hit, half of their HP would be gone,
And his defense strength was so ridiculously high that it seemed like it could be an error,
Even fire, which was supposed to be his weakness, hardly dealt any damage, which made his notoriety spread among the users for a while.
However, numerous users discovered a gimmick after their research.
They found a way to weaken Dagon’s notorious reputation by focusing on the element of “limb destruction” using the so-called family members.
By bringing in other family members roaming the field and engaging in battle, they were able to break through his thick skin.
Although it was not an easy task because Dagon would halt his attacks when there were family members in the front, they were able to lower his defense power by utilizing the family members who would go into a frenzy when attacked, just like they did in the game.
As a result of reducing his defense power in the game-like manner,
At this moment, Dagon is fighting with his abdominal skin torn apart and his internal organs leaking out.
Although his attack power was staggering, considering that his defense in the abdominal area was practically non-existent, if they could land a blow at this moment, the situation would practically be over.
“Now… All I have to do is wait for the perfect timing for parrying…”
At that moment.

“..!”
– “!! Crunch?”
Suddenly, an unusual presence is felt from behind.
In response, I quickly rolled my body backwards, avoiding it
“Tsk… Was he still alive?”
Another enemy appeared before my eyes.
Daigon’s subordinate, whom I had just thought had reached his end,
A guy holding an axe with the half-burned head of a hama.
Looking at Carlo’s appearance, I couldn’t help but feel slightly annoyed by the situation.
“Since Daigon is in a rampage state, it won’t be easy to use the shield again… Now that it’s come to this, let’s deal with that guy first.”
With that thought,
I looked at Carlo, who seemed to be trying to assist Daigon, as if taking advantage of the situation.
And then.
– Smack!!!! –
– “!!!” –
“…Huh?”
The next moment,
An unexpected scene appeared before my eyes.
It was
Carlo, putting all his strength into it,
Stabbing his axe into Daigon’s abdomen.
– “…Sorry… my… dear… Leonae…” –
