163 – Red Leech Vidad (2)
Tuk. Took. Took. Took.
The overflow of blood was over, and the sound of thick liquid dripping onto the puddle resounded regularly in the world of blood that was completed.
“That bastard’s image world.”
Blood jade.
Dugan looked around at the scene before his eyes and said.
“The world of images? So, is this all fantasy~?”
Soggy. Soggy.
Sinia said as she slapped the floor that had become muddy with her blood.
“That’s how it is.”
The world of images.
It is another world that black magicians who have reached the state have built within their own mental world so that the mental body of the demon that has contracted with them can stay.
It was generally decided that black magicians would take the world of images out of the world.
It is to descend the devil’s mental body.
“That… !”
At that time, Raya was shocked to discover two huge pillars standing tall in the center of the world of blood.
“Bloody Demon. Archduke, flowing one… “
Dugan leaned his neck back as far as he could, staring at the endless pillar reaching the sky.
Demon Archduke was a being that could fully handle its power even within a transcendent existence.
The ruler of the world and the strongest. An existence that even the head of a great family in the realm of transcendence cannot treat carelessly.
It was not easy for even a black mage to reach the 8-star realm to summon such a spiritual body of the great devil.
“How did you descend the demon archduke’s mental body without any prior preparation… ?”
It was Ledar who answered Dugan’s self-talk.
“Is that why? It looks pretty unstable.”
He looked closely at the pillar with deep blue eyes and said,
“The original strength is greatly damaged. Now… Speaking of 8 stars- I think it will be right before 9 stars. Even its imperfect power is not ready to handle right now. It’s a so-called cocoon that hasn’t fabled yet.”
“It’s just a matter of destroying the mental world before the cocoon hatches.”
Meloin immediately set out to analyze the world of images with knowledge of the Dark Magic.
“They~ I’m sorry.”
Then, Vidard bubbling up from his bloody swamp.
“We haven’t even started yet, are you already thinking about going home~?”
Broken in blood, he held a mad element.
Blood dripped from his lips and soaked his still white teeth.
Meloin continued to analyze the world of images without paying any attention to him, as if Vidard was like an insect flying nearby.
Soon, he spoke to Ledar.
“Almighty eye. Check where I am pointing with those eyes.”
“Look at what I say to our melodrama juniors and seniors.”
Even as Redar said that, he looked closely at the two points Meloin had pointed out within those four hundred, then nodded her head.
The flow of mana at the two points was very slightly distorted.
“One seems to be a trap- I guess we can aim for that one.”
Redar pointed to one of the two points, near the pillar.
“… !”
Bidad’s expression, which had been filled with composure at that moment, twitched and convulsed.
The barrier of advanced black magic that embodies her own world of images was discovered in an instant.
Considering the level of Meloin, who stands in the middle of the seven stars, it should have taken at least tens of minutes to find out the vulnerability.
When Meloin checked Vidard’s expression, she had a characteristic cynicism as if looking at a bug.
“Compared to what I have seen recently- a truly insignificant image world.”
Geniuses often gain enlightenment after seeing enlightenment from the master’s sword.
Meloin recently experienced the image world of the ‘white snake’.
The imagery world, which has no other way to express it other than being perfect, gave enough shock to Meloin even for a very brief moment. The impact raised her sight of Meloin several steps, and she brought him a great realization.
“Baby. Are you saying anything to provoke me? That’s cute- I wish I had encountered a warlock who could embody a better world of images than me. Couldn’t he still be alive?”
Vidad laughed, saying that such a meloin was ridiculous.
“Ha”
But there weren’t many who could beat Meloin with a laugh.
The ridicule contained an amount of ridicule and contempt incomparable to that of Vidard.
“… “
Vidad’s expression hardened.
“Among all the blood magics, he seems to be using the blood magic of the Gorean faction. Concentrate your mana on every part of your body where blood can penetrate to protect it.”
Following his disciple, Meloin, Dugan, with his wide and deep magical knowledge, grasped the types of black magic that Vidard deals with, and then explained the counter-laws.
“Really… Aren’t these cute guys~?!”
Vidard waved his arm as if he didn’t want to hear it.
Innumerable needles of blood rushed towards Meloin and Dugan.
Snack!
Sinia pulled out her double arms and stood in front of them.
The two swords drew an unbroken line for a while, and the hundreds of bloody needles were all misguided or destroyed, and not a single one reached the two of them.
At that time, Ledar and Raya were already running to Vidad.
“Below.”
At Ledar’s words, Raya kicked off the ground and leaped.
Push!
Leaving behind the bloody harpoon that rose a beat later, it lands near Vidad and rushes at him.
‘What about weapons!?’
Vidad looked at Raya’s armament to predict the trajectory of the attack.
Only two hands wearing leather gloves.
Vidad put a magic barrier all over his body. Drops of blood covered his entire body.
It was a mana barrier created by an 8-star warlock.
With that strength, it was possible to neutralize the shock contained in the attack of quite a few 7-star abilities.
But.
Raya’s move that followed was by no means a mediocre attack.
It was a mistake that Vidard gave up reading the trajectory and hastily covered his entire body – even his vision.
That gave Raya a moment of time, and Raya used that moment to rotate his body and swing her long legs.
Turn Kick – The maximum striking force that a human being can produce with bare body was transmitted intact to the mana barrier, reinforced by her physical abilities and mana as a 7-star martial artist.
Boom!
With the sound of a shell exploding, Vidad’s body surrounded by a mana barrier flew like an arrow.
From noble mtl dot com
“Keah… !”
Vidard felt the bones all over his body crush and his intestines turn to mud.
If it were not for the world of images, it was a shock that would put me in a dying state immediately.
‘What is this… !’
As Vidard flew away, he caught sight of Raya and his party again.
Looking at it again, it was a really ridiculous composition.
Even Vidadra, who reached the level of 8 stars with black magic, would not have dared to think of engaging in full-scale battle with them if he had not believed that he was a demon archduke.
However, he clearly had the protection of the demon archduke.
Vidad gave everything he had to bring down the bloody demon, Prince Flowing One.
It was the blood of thousands of humans he had collected over his lifetime.
There, he promised Redar and Meloin’s lives.
The one who flows accepted Vidad’s proposal.
The Archduke will descend in an incomplete form because he couldn’t even perform the proper summoning ceremony, but-
That’s enough.
It will take a lot of time even to descend in that imperfect form, but-
That’s enough too.
I was confident that I could endure that much time.
Bidad’s body, which was flying, turned into a handful of blood and flew away.
Then, he climbed up from the swamp of blood where Vidad stood just before being blown away, having obtained a new body.
“They… You know my weaknesses like that… I might be a little creepy… ?”
He wrapped his arms around himself and scratched both of his arms with his dark red nails.
Soggy blood began to pour from the ten stems.
“It’s okay to be violent. That’s what I like too.”
“Melloin Junior. It looks like I’ve been under the mental attack magic a while ago, can you cast some protection magic on me?”
“… Cover your ears.”
“My cute disciples~ I will take you to a cafe later after the instructor finishes, so shall we do it then?”
“Coming.”
The all-out war between the 8-star warlock and the five heroes has begun.
***
If Vidad had tried to win the battle against them on his own, it would have ended much faster with Raya and his party’s victory-
The purpose of Vidad was to delay as much time as possible until the one who flowed the grand duke descended.
When the eight-star warlock decided to lay down his life and waited, the power was enormous.
The battle between Raya and Vidad continued in a sluggish state.
Nevertheless, the end comes.
“Soon, the Grand Duke will descend!!!”
Redar shouted while looking at the giant.
“hahahaha! Could this be a bit risky?”
“How are things going!?”
Dugan answered Raya’s question.
“Almost done… !”
The vulnerability of the mental world discovered by Meloin and Ledar.
Meloin and Dugan clung to that vulnerability and were destroying the world of imagination.
“Almost done.”
Vidad smirked at Meloin’s words.
“Right. Themselves. Almost done.”
Damn it-
Vidad’s body split into dozens of pieces with the sound of skin and muscle tearing.
All those pieces swelled up to become another vidad.
And the pieces continued to swell without stopping even after becoming a vidard.
As if about to explode.
They rushed at Raya’s party.
“… !”
Redar’s visible beams of light shrunk from eight to two.
A blow created by an 8-star warlock who gave up all his power.
That power was not something that could be blocked just by blocking it.
“Run away!!!”
“… !”
There was no way the Almighty Eye would have said such a thing without any reason.
Meloin and Dugan immediately stopped destroying the Image World and captured Ledar, Sinia, and Raya.
A high-speed movement magic. Their bodies moved to high ground far from the site.
Poo-Wak!
Dozens of pieces swelled up to the size of a house, then exploded and vomited blood corresponding to the volume.
It was such an overwhelming discharge that the place where Raya and the others were standing just now turned into a deep lake of blood.
“…”
He saved his life.
Their enemy, the 8-star warlock Vidad, has lost his power.
But Raya and the others didn’t look good.
“Coming.”
Ledar murmured softly.
“Ahhhhh… You’re here…!”
Standing on the lake of blood, Vidad fell into ecstasy as he saw the red giant.
The world shuddered.
The stopped red giant started moving.
A blood demon. The one who flows through the sky has descended into the world of images.
The giant looked down at Raya and the others from above the clouds and said.
-It’s Vidad. It was an odd call.
It was as if the sky had a will and spoke.
A neutral voice shook the world.
“To offer you the quality blood directly!!!”
-Rebringer lineage. Hanahan’s lineage. There is even the lineage of Elosis. Okay. It’s definitely an alluring fatigue. He must be very happy.
“I will offer you the blood I have collected all my life, and their blood!!!”
-I will accept your sincerity. It’s Vidad. Now you are definitely my child and his child.
“Ah ah-“
Vidad struggled with joy.
“What is this-“
Raya shuddered as she looked up at the demon archduke.
‘Really descending the devil archduke. The Black Roots… What the hell are they plotting…?’
Raja realized that the Black Roots were a more dangerous group than Paraden was aware of.
I realized that an unprecedented crisis had struck the continent.
Can you safely return and deliver this information?
‘No…’
World of Image – Confront the Devil Archduke in the Spirit World.
There was no such thing as odds.
What can they do now?
The only thing left to do was to wait for external support while being thoroughly trampled on by that transcendent being.
Will support arrive in time?
Can you hold out until then?
‘No…’
Raya felt a sense of complete despair.
At that time. A face popped up in her mind as she intuited her end.
Magan.
What happened to him?
Did it go well?
‘Please…’
A bishop, not even the leader of the Black Root Church, descended upon the Devil Archduke.
Then, what the heck is the leader of the Black Root Church- what the Black Root Church is up to-
The warlocks were trying to bring a long-perhaps never-ending night to the continent.
It must be blocked.
In order to do so, someone must escape safely and report this to Paraden Headquarters and the Great Council.
It was only Magan.
Raya, please, let him escape safely and let the world know about this worst-
“Hey!!!”
“…?”
I hope you can.
It was a time when I prayed earnestly.
Raya doubted her own ears.
‘Please, madman…! Isn’t it!?’
I hoped my ears were wrong.
“You devil!!!
Raya’s ears were perfectly fine.
Raja’s party headed to the entrance to the world of images.
There is a black and white head that has just entered the mental world-
Magan was standing.
“Oh.”
Raya sighed.
“You idiot!!! What did you think you crawled into here for!?!”
“Ah, Mr. Raya! I’m here to save you!!!”
“What-“
Raya was dumbfounded.
Who saves who from whom?
‘Have you lost your mind while being interrogated by Vidard?’
It’s not a very absurd story, but Margun’s appearance right now was definitely not normal.
“I’m here to find my right foot on the right road or something, heh heh heh.”
Laughing without thread- It was a face as if he didn’t even know what he was doing.
“No-“
Raya was sure. Magan. He must have lost his mind while being interrogated by a warlock.
It was obvious from the way he was talking nonsense about his right foot on the right road.
“… Heh heh- I don’t know.”
Even Magan, the only hope, crawled into this world of images to die.
Now there are people who go to call for support.
There was no one to inform about this incident.
Vidad will sacrifice Almighty Eye, Redar, and four 7-star powers to the demon grand duke who descended into his mental world.
This will greatly advance the plans of the Black Roots.
Now everything is really over.
Laya also started laughing as if she had lost her mind in desperation like Margun.
“My God…”
Dugan, who thought the same way as Raya and came to the same conclusion, fell into despair.
“…?”
In the eyes of those two.
The other three came in.
Ledar. Cynia. Meloin.
Their expressions seemed to be saying that.
You are finally here.
What the hell does that expression mean?
It was the moment when Raya and Dugan felt doubt.
Dead Deed-
The world of images vibrated.
– You…!
The cause of the earthquake was a giant.
Its body was shaking
As if frightened.
-Was it you…!
At that appearance, Raya and Dugan fell into confusion.
What is it? What on earth did he see that a being of the level of a demon grand duke was so frightened?
They followed the giant’s gaze.
What’s there-
“Who am I…”
When the giant stared at it, it was Mageon who was shabby.
It was the pitiful look that Raya remembered.
If there was one difference – it was eyes like those of a reptile.
A sharp arrowhead was contained within the golden full moon.
The tip of the arrow pointed at the giant.
-Ah, ah…aaa!!!
The giant covered his face with both hands and trembled.
It looked like a frightened, sobbing child.
“Grand Duke!!!”
Already the giant didn’t care about Vidad’s words.
– I hate it. I hate it…! Please take that meaning…!!!!!
The giant raised his two fists high and slammed them down at his magen with all his might.
The moon and sun seemed to fall over the earth.
“Heh heh…”
Magan almost lost his mind and stared at it.
“Uh…?”
In an instant, the giant’s fist stood tall and stopped.
A giant looking down from a place higher than the sky.
A place higher than the gaze of such a giant-
A huge spear fell from the void beyond the sky and pierced the upper body of the giant.
It was the tip of a white reptile’s tail.
It was only a small part, but it was as huge as the whole sky-blaspheming giant.
-Ah… Why did you…
The tail was hidden by the giant’s arm and was not visible to others.
So, to Magan, Raya, and Dugan, it seemed that the giant had destroyed itself instead of attacking Magan.
The light disappeared from the giant’s eyes.
The shape collapses. The blood that formed him swallows the world.
So it was real again.
“What is this…”
Vidad is futile-
And looked at Magan with a terrified face.
“What are you…?”
Raya also expressed extreme bewilderment as she looked at Magan.
From noble mtl dot com
What the hell were you doing?
What did you do?
Are you saying that the demon prince will be frightened by him and destroy himself?
“…”
At that time. A certain order was conveyed in Magan’s head.
He tried to follow the instructions and gave a meaningful smile.
It’s a secret.
As you say.
Magen’s eyes were out of focus.
‘I don’t know either.’
***
“That’s cool. Commander Mageon.”
I watched them from a distance and clapped with full of fan spirit.
It seemed as if the voice of the 1st collaborator, who would become the true voice of God Hara in Paraden, could be heard from here.
Magan is turned into his double body.
