281 – Final Chapter (34)
The Blood Demon laughed even as he lost his balance and fell.
When I look at his expression, it definitely touches me.
Like a player playing a game, this situation itself was a game to him.
The blood demon was really enjoying this situation.
Maybe that’s why the Blood Demon became stronger. The passionate moments of life and death were like a game to him, so there was no going back. The primal pursuit of strength. He was surprisingly suitable as the leader of the Shale Church.
In the end, game players seem like madmen to the characters in the game.
A madman, player, cult leader, blood demon, and final boss who laughs and says it’s fun even when he falls sideways.
Looking at him, I somehow felt like I was also in the game. Rather than Panta Feeling the emotion of gritting my teeth and fighting to win against an extremely skilled opponent, I rushed towards the Blood Demon.
The key in close combat is the center of gravity. A magic wand… That is, ether combed into the shape of a wooden block was swung towards his central foot.
Paang.
The Blood Demon’s left hand exploded like a sonic boom, and immediately regained its weight due to the repulsion force. Afterwards, my vision went pitch black. This is because the Blood Demon’s fist is exploding. His flapping long guns gave the illusion that his fist was covering the world.
Twist your legs and turn your body in one big circle. The power of the blood demon is so overwhelming that they are in the process of realizing that they will be at a disadvantage if they hit it head-on.
A situation where all decisions are made in an instant.
The time between attack and defense is extremely short to use magic with a perfect technique.
Papak!
Kick the dirt with your landed foot to gain a moment.
“Leap.”
I jumped and swung the ether block in my hand at the blood demon with increased speed.
The Blood Demon took a step back and, realizing that he was still within attack range, stretched out his right hand.
Quagaaa!
It hurts so much that the hand holding the wooden block breaks off. Ultimately, this is because it failed to escape the law of action and reaction, which is a physical attack. His right hand, full of pain, was still holding the leg of his neck, and he swung his left hand, which was in good condition.
It is full of authority dishes.
‘It was eaten.’
I thought about that for a moment.
Hwiik.
My hand split the air.
Hyeolma lowered his head as if leaning his body on the floor, grabbed my leg with his right hand, stretched out his leg, and threw a kick.
‘Damn.’
There is no means of defense below. I took my feet off the ground in a hasty leap. Although he avoided the Blood Demon’s low kick, it was not a good move. Because the upper body was still in contact with the blood demon through the ether block.
He grabbed the wooden block and pulled me toward him.
Paaat!
He raised his knee and tried to crush my face.
I quickly absorbed the ether and spread it on the front of my face.
Quaaang!
Unable to overcome the shock, his body soared into the air. A very close fight where you don’t even have time to come to your senses.
‘Damn it.’
Did he decide that since his Danjeon was destroyed, it would be better to fight in close proximity? I saw a blood demon sitting at my expected landing point. It seems that the blood demon wants to compete with me in a sweat-filled competition.
But I don’t want to mix sweat with men.
When I got close to the ground, I magnetized the ground and took a big leap backwards.
Instead of following, the blood demon opened his mouth.
“It’s always an amazing movement.”
“It’s no big deal.”
“That’s quite true. Even in the 300 years that I’ve lived, I’ve never seen such a subtle movement magic. That’s as good as any great wizard.”
“Thank you.”
“But I see room for a little more improvement in close quarters.”
Are you planning on giving me a lecture?
The religious leader’s expression did not mean that.
It was a moment of exchanging opinions on what to do after playing a fighting game.
It is also the time when your skills grow the most, so there is no reason not to suit you.
“What seemed lacking?”
“Just now, when I was trying to break the balance of the main being and deliver the final blow, the accuracy and strength were not bad. The only problem was the speed. It was easy to see and dodge. A slightly faster attack would have been better.”
It was a story about the moment when a leap was used to strike a blow.
“I was in a situation where I had to strengthen my body with magic. This is my limit.”
“You have mastered our school’s vision. Can’t you use your life force as well?”
“Even if you use your life force, the mechanism for strengthening your body will be the same, right?”
“No.”
The blood demon took a stance in the air.
“This is how we utilize it.”
As soon as I finish speaking.
— Paaang!
The sound of waves enveloped the surroundings.
The speed is difficult to capture even with my extremely advanced vision.
However, it was enough time to understand the mechanism of the attack.
“Are you using life force as an energy source for your muscles?”
“Yes. You really have excellent observation skills.”
“That person’s physical ability is outstanding.”
Giving and receiving compliments like that is a signal. The blood demon immediately narrowed the distance. He’s clearly uneasy about giving me room to cast magic.
‘Could it be that you are aware of the existence of the Invincible Bangeuk?’
Anxiety can give off signs. Blood demons seem to be particularly perceptive. I focused on the fight at hand. The story is that he took a step back against the Blood Demon who was constantly closing the distance.
“Unfold your vitality.”
Whoa!

The Blood Demon raised his fist and opened his mouth calmly. Is the problem the fact that those fists are far too fast? He was clearly trying to get me to use my life force. Damn you son of a b*tch.
I know that my life will be shortened due to this act.
If you use it excessively, it can cause disability. However, it is a fight to the death.
I raised my vitality.
I just changed the principle of movement and reached the realm of enlightenment. The Blood Demon’s fists became slower and his foot movements began to seem predictable.
The corners of his mouth rose.
“That’s fun.”
Is it fun that I have grown, or is it fun that I am able to engage in physical contact more intensely as a result?
I exchanged attacks with him about 20 times.
‘How do I unfold the infinite play?’
My head was full of infinite drama.
I think I have to unfold this somehow to get out of this hell.
The blood demon showed no gaps at all.
I tried to speak on purpose.
“I was curious as to how you, as a player, wanted to become something like a demon god.”
“Isn’t the demon the strongest being?”
“I understand clearly now. Didn’t you just want someone to recognize your strength?”
Provocation. You have to find something to say that will ruin his composure.
“What are you talking about?”
“There are players who are not satisfied with themselves. They are the type who are satisfied only when other players surprise and praise them. That’s the type.”
“The main Buddha trained alone here for 300 years. Is that really true? In terms of age, he is 300 years old. How could he have such childish thoughts?”
“Three hundred years? Don’t give a damn. There’s no way you can make fun of age. Since you came to this place through a game and considered yourself a foreigner, your time here would have been meaningless.”
“What?”
“You thought this was a game, so you’ve spent 300 years playing games. So how will you grow up? You’re still young.”
“hahahaha.”
He laughed lightly.
The momentum of the blood demon began to change.
Should we say that the air around him has changed? Every time the blood demon moved, something like red energy was visualized.
“Ugh.”
He widened the distance, instinctively feeling danger.
Gradually, his body began to tremble and he became unable to distinguish between his body and his energy. A beast-like shape engulfed in red energy.
“Phase 2 here is Oba.”
“Try to block it.”
Sweet!
The sight of the charging blood demon was like a ghost itself.
Paaat!
I used the leap with all my might. I wasn’t trying to run away, but it was an instinctive move anyway. If I get caught in that, I really think I’ll die.
The blood demon’s fist surrounded by energy is no longer a physical realm. I threw out my fist, and what reached me was a wave of energy. This is a situation where punching a fist is no different from the manifestation of magic.
Kwaaang! Quaaang!
The entire landscape where the flag touched was a complete wasteland. I soared upward, turned to the side, and dodged with all my might. Let’s admit it. Sometimes running away is a skill.
When I thought it wouldn’t work, I kicked the ground roughly with my foot and used the dirt that bounced up to make a wall.
Of course, it collapsed in an unsightly way, but it was enough to block the blood demon’s view for a moment.
Earth magic cast in succession. Shooting a high pillar of earth at the blood demon. The Blood Demon destroys it with a single punch that says it is nothing.
I have that much free time.
But there is no time to perform an infinite play.
You have to buy time.
But how?
I looked back at what I had.
Turn back time, step by step.
In fact, the damage accumulating on the body is too much to say gradually. Each time the Blood Demon attacks, the wounds increase. The skin on your arms is dented. A long scar is carved into your cheek. The tips of the ears are slightly falling off. It wasn’t a fatal wound, but it was definitely difficult to escape.
I think I can last like this for an hour or two.
That’s something you just have to endure.
More than anything.
— Grumbling!
The moment the Blood Demon’s fist passed by. Perhaps because of the friction, a flame broke out and a handful of hair burned. Fortunately, it wasn’t the top of my head. I had my hair done on the side, but I think it would have been really unsightly if it had been on the top of my head.
I felt a sense of crisis.
Let’s think about it.
Material that would attract the blood demon’s attention.
When I got to the bottom of everything I had, I found one plausible thing to talk about.
The reason why all these things happened.
“The developer is here.”
“…What?”
The moment I said that, the blood demon stopped running wild.
After stopping the second phase with just one sentence, I opened my mouth again in triumph.
“The developer who possessed us is here.”
