“ah······.”
The informant, who was still sitting and watching the battle, let out a small sigh with a blank face.
I nodded my head once as she turned her head to look at her.
‘······It ended fresher than I thought.’
Even if Ashel wins, I thought it would be a little more difficult, but the duel was simply over in an instant. It was also a perfect victory with no injuries.
A little bit of pride and satisfaction filled with her growth, which was much more than expected.
“Good work.”
After giving the trouble to the woman who approached me, I checked the corpse of Ma Thapju.
Without doing any further research, his neck fell off, so he died instantly. He became a dead man and could no longer see the level.
After confirming that he was definitely dead, I calmed down.
‘Are you still at this point?’
In the future, Flaveros Matapju appeared as a villain who not only conducted research on demons, but also contracted with demons.
Also, it is not with the ordinary demons, but with one of the ‘won horses’ who are the highest heads of the demon camp.
‘That’s why, until just before he died, he exerted the power of demons and worked hard until the end.’
However, seeing that this was not the case, at this point in time, I thought that the contract with the demons had not yet been reached.
Anyway, with this, I killed the mage, so the overlord’s task is over.
It was much easier and safer than I thought, so I looked away with a sense of relief.
It was a moment to look at the remaining wizards and think about how to deal with them.
shoo woo.
“···········?”
I was startled and looked back.
A jet-black energy suddenly rose from the corpse of Ma Thap-ju and was gathering in the air.
Detrodemyan
‘What is that…’
I stared at the scene unfolding before my eyes, feeling bewildered.
An unidentified energy was continuously emanating from the body of the dead Ma Thapju.
······horsepower? Although it is magical, there is a subtle sense of heterogeneity.
An ominous and disgusting aura that makes you feel bad just by looking at it.
I wondered if it was the last move of the master, but he was definitely dead.
The energy squirmed in the air as if it were moving with a will by itself.
I reflexively looked back at the magicians in the tower.
But they, too, seemed confused, as if they had no idea what was going on.
What was even more surprising was the next moment.
Whoops!
The massively gathered energy stretched out like a tentacle and pierced the corpse of Ma Thap-ju.
The red energy was absorbed into the center of the energy as it wrapped around the black stem like a vine.
Then, the corpse of Matap-ju slowly began to wither. It looked as if not even a single grain of life was left behind.
“······································································!
Have you absorbed your life force now?
I was awakened by the bizarre sight. What is the identity of that unknown energy?
Those who made a contract with the demons will pay for it in various ways.
It could be power, it could be soul, it could be life force, or it could be all of it.
The demons greedily take everything they can take from the contractor when the life of the contractor is cut off.
Therefore, it was not difficult to know that the source of the energy in front of me was the power of the demons.
I thought that Matappu had not signed a contract yet, but that was not the case.
At the same time, I felt a slight goose rising up my spine.
Because I knew very well who the demons who made a contract with Flaveros’ Matap Master were.
‘·······Detrodemyan.’
Wonma, the highest leader of the demon tribe.
7th in the rank of demons and the 7th strongest demon in all of the demons.
He was the true identity of the demon who made a contract with Flaveros’ Magician.
aah!
The energy stretched its stems in all directions this time. Towards me and Ashel.
I spread a floating veil to prevent contact, and Ashel immediately drew out her sword and cut it.
However, the wizards on the other side could not escape from the attack of the energy.
The energy lightly pierced even the shield they had spread and pierced their body.
“Kuhhh…!”
The magicians, who were entangled in the aura, were shriveled up like mummies and died in an instant, just like the magician before.
The energy that had absorbed all of their vitality was glistening, mixing the original jet black and red colors.
I was just vigilant and watched the scene. Because I didn’t know what to do in this situation.
‘Should I turn off my mind and just walk out?’
The target was to kill the master, and he did not know what the demons who contracted with him were doing. There was nothing I couldn’t do in the first place.
Soon, the energy that rose high in the sky began to fly in a certain direction.
For a moment, I thought if I could meet Detrodemyan if I followed the direction that energy was going. If you ride a belt dragon and chase after it, it will be enough.
But it was a risky idea, so I quit immediately.
‘·······It is still too early.’
The demons were more dangerous than any other race.
The source of their power is magic, but their unique abilities are chaotic and unpredictable like a mystery.
The demons, especially the original horses, their best power, are enemies that they will all have to face someday. But the time was not yet.
Everyone knew Detrodemyan’s abilities, but he didn’t have to take risks and face them when he wasn’t prepared.
“Go back.”
I said to Ashel, who was standing still as if waiting for a command, watching the energy receding.
And it was the moment I was about to approach the place where the tee-yong was.
“······································································!
A huge flow of magical power was suddenly felt.
I hurriedly spread the floating curtain wide.
I thought that darkness was wriggling from far away in the direction in which the energy flew, and the next moment, a black flame covered the whole area like a tidal wave.
uh uh
The place where the flame passed was completely ruined and nothing remained.
“Hey, what is this…”
Ashel and the informant looked around in astonishment.
An attack that flew suddenly without warning.
It was such a powerful and overwhelming energy that even the magic that Ma Thap-Joo had performed a while ago was incomparable.
The two were protected by a veil, and Tiyong was fortunately out of range because he was far from where I was standing.
Keek!
He flew over in awe and landed next to me.
I looked to one side with a hardened face.
‘·······This is completely out of the ordinary.’
After the last emergency call, tension and a sense of crisis filled my heart after a while.
I never thought he’d be right around here… Why the hell?
Soon I saw a man walking slowly from the other side of the darkness.
With one head taller than the average person, with pale gray skin.
【Lv. 96]
Raw horse, Detrodemyan.
The man who appeared calmly in front of me looked at me with a gloomy look.
The powerful and ominous energy emanating from it was more than that of the monarchs. You could tell just by looking at the level.
The gaze of the man who had been quietly making eye contact with me shifted to the body of the dead Matapju.
Soon his mouth opened.
“You are the 7th Lord of Calderic.”
“············”.
“I’ll have to ask him why he killed my contractor. Is that your overlord’s will?”
I stared intently at him without answering the question. No, I observed.
Around him, there was something like a black flame that had just swept through the area, but he knew what that ability was.
flame of scorn. It is one of the unique abilities it possesses that destroys anything it touches.
“If you don’t answer, I’ll kill you.”
I opened my mouth with a smirk at the sound of the man’s indescribably dry voice.
“If you answer me, would you just go the way you were going?”
The guy slowly raised his eyebrows.
“Of course not. You die here.”
It was the expected answer.
The unpleasant aura he felt from him mixed with murderous intent and grew stronger.
I cursed inside and prepared for battle.
“Stand back.”
Asher, who had a slightly pale face at my words, looked back at me and then nodded.
She put the sword she had drawn back in and backed away. He knew right away that he wasn’t going to do it.
No matter how much she grew up, now it was nothing but power, but a hindrance. Because the opponent was the opponent.
‘Why the hell is that guy here?’
Did you even come to see Matapju? But did the timing happen coincidentally?
No matter what the circumstances, the battle could not be avoided. He seemed to have a strong will to kill me already.
I shifted my gaze to T-yong.
Due to the nature of the Wyvern, it would not normally have happened that he would only ride other people on his back without me, but now was not the time to question that.
“Take these two and get out as far as you can.”
As a clever guy, he knew the seriousness of the situation, and he nodded his head without being stubborn.
Ashel took the informant and jumped straight up on the back of Thiyong.
He was wary of the attack from Detrodemyan, but he just stood there as if he had no intention of stopping it.
The thi-yong carrying the two of them flew up with all their might, and in an instant it flew away to the other side of the night sky.
“Do your best. They will all die anyway.”
I accidentally shot a drop of blood at him using a blood skill.
However, the drop of blood burned as soon as it touched the black flame that covered it, and it was useless.
‘tt.’
It would be unreasonable to activate an instant kill only if the flames were wrapped around it like a shield.
He waved his hand and, as before, shot out huge flames like waves.
I opened the floating veil to block the attack again. Then teleported backwards.
When an attack that was too fast to react to flew in, it was difficult to defend, so it was to spread a little more distance.
“Isn’t it a mystery, not magic?”
The man who murmured like that this time spread out his hand and clenched it tightly.
At the same time, a purple energy suddenly appeared around me, and it shook like a haze.
I felt a sense of gentleness and once again made a narrow leap into space.
Wow!
The moment I teleported, the contorted and compressed purple energy immediately engulfed the place where I was standing.
A part of the ground and bushes within the range of purple energy disappeared as they were, and were cut smoothly along the border. It was as if the space itself was cut off.
‘······Cutting space.’
Along with the Flame of Contempt, it was another ability that Detrodemyan had.
Since it is the ability to literally cut out the space itself, the reaction was a little late, and if it had been swept away, it would have disappeared as it was. That was an attack that was close to instant death even in the game.
Whoa!
Without a break, the next attack flew in.
He just stood still in his spot, waving his hands and attacking, but I didn’t have the slightest leeway.
I frantically blocked and avoided the rushing flames and the sudden purple energy.
He knew very well that he wasn’t giving out all his power even now, even though he was barely holding on.
Because I knew it had several other abilities besides the Flame of Contempt and Space Sever.
‘What?’
The problem was that I didn’t have the means to counterattack him.
It only takes one contact. Of course, instant killing would work for him as well.
But that contact was impossible. There was no way to contact him unless the blood magic was completely blocked by the flames.
The only way I could think of was to use space leap, not blood magic, to make direct contact with him…
‘It’s not even worth it.’
In that case, his whole body had no choice but to be exposed directly to the flame of the gnome.
In short, it was a method I had to give my life to try.
However, it was the expected result that if we were to waste time in this way, we would eventually be defeated one day.
Before he uses his other abilities to show his power, we need to see the match as soon as possible…
‘······There is nothing I can do.’
I have no choice but to believe in Super Rebirth and try something.
Having made a decision, I made a space leap the moment I stopped the rushing flame.
He teleported to the center of the burning black flame, just a short distance from him.
“······································································!
A pain he had never experienced before rose up all over his body.
What unfolded in front of him was an arm whose skin was no longer visible, blazing in an instant by a black flame. Even the white bones were exposed.
But I can’t open the floating veil yet.
His vision was immediately blurred in the darkness. I barely grasped the distant consciousness and reached out my hand as intended.
