Episode 31 – Siruntel Demon Lord (8)
31. Ciruntel Demon Lord (8)
Crunchy. Come on.
A quiet office filled with the sounds of paper being turned and pen tips moving.
With calm, indifferent eyes.
A middle-aged man with black hair was processing a mountain of documents.
He was Rok Crusif, the head of the Crusiv duchy that ruled the eastern part of the empire.
He doesn’t stop looking at the documents.
Loke suddenly opened his mouth.
“Come in.”
Drur.
Then the window behind him opened, and Leon jumped inside.
“Please, go to the door.”
Leon lifted his shoulder and looked away from Locke’s sharp gaze.
“You have to practice new things whenever you have time. “This way, your body gets used to it quickly.”
Loke sighed slightly at his shameless answer.
Just as I said, Leon’s stealth skills were improving rapidly.
The range where you can feel his presence is gradually decreasing.
Locke was confused as to whether he should like it or not that his son’s outstanding military talent was displayed in such a place.
“So, what happened again?”
Lock said without letting go of the documents.
“hahahaha. “If anyone hears, will they think that I only come here when I have business?”
“······.”
Under Locke’s transparent gaze shining brightly, Leon got straight to the point.
“I found something like this…”
A few old, faded pieces of paper came out of Leon’s arms.
Unknown words, numbers, and pictures of the human body making movements were drawn on the paper.
“······.”
Loke’s face hardened as he looked at the document.
“It seems like a sword technique related to the Jecheon Sword Technique. Could you teach me? I also asked other drivers, but strangely, no one seemed to know?”
Chareuk, chareuk.
Locke’s hands turning over the documents are getting faster and faster.
My breathing became slightly rougher.
“Well, if you’re really busy, just show it to me…”
“Where on earth did you find something like this?”
Loke let out a deeper sigh.
He declared, putting all his documents under his desk.
“No.”
It seems like no counterarguments will be allowed.
A firm, sharp voice.
“······Yes?”
Leon frowned.
It’s not that I don’t like it, it’s that I can’t do it.
“No… Why don’t you say it’s not possible?”
“Because that’s not something you can learn.”
At Leon’s gaze demanding an explanation, Locke continued.
“It is a long-discontinued restaurant.”
“It is evil and evil.”
“No one knows what powerful and dangerous side effects will occur when used. “It was created by a person who is considered the worst disgrace to our family, so it cannot be shown to others.”
“Don’t even think about touching me. “I will never give up on this.”
Maybe it’s because of my anxiety about my son, who has been having a lot of accidents recently.
There will be no compromise, Locke declared firmly, pounding on the desk.
“······Well, I understand.”
Leon finally nodded his head hesitantly and thought.
······I’m glad I copied the contents somewhere else in advance.
* · * *
The bodies of the demons that were charging at Leon stiffened.
Rurrr!
The sky darkened and the earth shook.
From Leon’s sword, which was slowly tracing its path, I felt a tremendous energy that could not be described.
“······?!?!”
What is this?
What on earth did you do?
I wanted to scream, but my stiff mouth and tongue wouldn’t allow it.
Like a mouse in front of a cat.
Or like a rabbit in front of a tiger.
The overwhelming power gap gave them the fear and despair of prey.
“Keueueuuu!”
Bloodshot sprouted from Gruger’s eyes.
“Nonsense, impossible…!”
You felt this way about just a human being?
All the demons in the demon world will laugh at them.
No, right now the squad leader Talkan in the distance is going to tear himself to death.
The grunt bit his tongue as if his jaw was being crushed.
Thrill!
The sharp fangs tore off the flesh of my tongue, and mind-boggling pain pierced my brain.
Only then did the stiff muscles relax a little.
Gruger shot down his body again and curled his legs.
“I will kill you!!”
However.
Let Leon raise his sword.
Roar, rumble!
The world is shaking again.
“······!”
The bodies of the demons froze again.
Gooooo!
With Leon’s swordplay gradually moving upward, a magnificent force that could not be resisted was gathered.
An ominous energy fell from the pitch-black sky and seeped into the sword body.
Goes against reason and denies providence.
Collecting chaos and disaster.
It’s like covering over the abyss.
It is the crystallization of violence.
In a world that is gradually becoming darker.
Only a pair of magically shining red eyes were flashing.
From Noble mtl dot com
Sigh.
Soon, that brilliance becomes thinly curved.
The sword reached the sky.
It fell.
Jecheongeombeop (制天劍法) dark form, heavenly rule (天主狩食).
Like a monster eating the sun.
Like darkness hunting light.
A dark blue sword containing a vicious, vicious, and eerie energy was shot at them.
Quaaa-!!!
The earth is turning over.
The tree breaks.
The air is torn apart.
Just as it is impossible to avoid heavy rain pouring down in the middle of nowhere.
The power of that attack is literally impossible to resist.
Like looking at the blade falling from a guillotine to your neck.
What they can do while looking at the ruthlessly rushing flames of sword energy.
I am devastated.
So far away.
In vain.
“Run…”
—All I could do was face death.
* · * *
In the place where the sword strike swept over, only the devastated land and strange silence remained.
Only the faint remaining black bodily fluids of the demons proved that they were alive and breathing here, even if only for a short time.
“Wow, I feel relieved inside.”
After briefly appreciating the incredible power of the swordsmanship he had unleashed.
I turned my back and approached Celia.
“······.”
I was so shocked that I forgot that I was dying.
With her eyes wide open and her mouth wide open, her expression was full of life.
“······Hey, hey. “What about that just now…”
“You decided to keep it a secret, right?”
Leon looked at her expression and she giggled.
‘I owe a lot to Bergov.’
A person who was said to be a shame to the family by Locke.
He was the prosecutor who signed a contract with Bergov.
I remember in the Mahondan, there was a man who used the Crusiv family’s forbidden swords.
‘Thanks to you, I got my secret weapon.’
Once he gained experience wielding a sword.
I was able to quickly understand the emergency documents that I had previously copied.
“······That’s natural. Do I seem that ungrateful?”
How could she betray the man who did this for her?
Do we not even have that much faith?
Celia said in a slightly regretful tone.
“Just making sure. “Let’s start again.”
Leon bent down to carry Celia on her back.
“Now, up…Cough!”
Suddenly he coughed up blood and collapsed on her body.
“Ouch! Le, Leon?!”
What came out of his mouth was black blood, like that of a demonic beast.
Leon kept spitting out blood with her eyes wide open.
“Ah, s-cough, cluck! Feet, call!”
A reaction using forbidden technology was coming.
His arm, which was on the ground, was shaking mercilessly.
The mana circuit burned as if boiling oil had been poured on it.
“Leon, Leon!”
Celia’s face turned pale.
“Knock, knock…!”
Leon tried not to lose his mind amid the shocking pain.
The pain of cutting the Danjeon into pieces with scissors.
It feels like needles are flowing in the veins instead of blood.
It looks like heated iron was inserted into the place where the bone was.
“No, no… Please…!”
As she cried, she felt Celia’s hand holding her head.
Leon overcame the pain and began to suppress his internal injuries.
In pain that burns my brain.
Like melting ice in boiling water.
I started treating the most painful areas one by one.
Relieves distorted blood flow.
Calming down the rampaging energy.
Returns backflow mana to its original state.
Sssss-
Then, the energy gradually began to subside.
Experiencing just a few seconds of pain is enough to make you faint.
To endure that and manage mana delicately.
A mental strength that criminals would never be able to achieve, bordering on madness.
The few minutes that seemed like eons passed by.
“Haa…Haa…”
“Gwae, are you okay!?”
“Phew… To a certain extent.”
After blocking the runaway with a temporary measure, Leon slowly got up.
Parr.
However, it did not stop her limbs from shaking like aspen trees and her muscles from twitching.
As she looked at him, Celia’s heart throbbed as if it would explode.
“Leon, I’d rather-.”
“That’s enough.”
It seems like he knows what I’m going to say.
Leon cut her off like a sword and carried her around.
She still had the energy left to take her one with her.
* · * *
In front of the crack in the demonic landscape.
Just to kill time.
Talkan was crushing the demonic beasts crawling out of the crack with a single blow.
“······!”
He suddenly turned his head to a certain place.
The sky at the end of my gaze was turning black.
“Strong energy.”
Talkan raised his large figure.
“Kill.”
