164 – The True Harassin Scams (1)
‘Hmm. I don’t know what it is, but he must have intervened.’
‘Our Ceylon brought him.’
‘Those eyes, that’s him.’
The true Harassin.
He.
Three people whose common sense has already been destroyed by those two things, and can accept most situations without problems.
Everyone except them was in extreme confusion because they couldn’t keep up with the situation.
And among them, if you had to pick a person who was most confused, it would definitely be Vidard.
“What the hell… “
As the bishop of the Black Root Cult that serves the devil. As an 8-star warlock who has reached the stage. As a servant who has served it for a long time. As the summoner who brought it down.
Vidad was a follower who fully understood the power of the bloody demon, the prince.
He is the de facto ruler of the demons in the world, and a mighty being at the top of them.
That was the meaning of the name Grand Duke.
That power has indeed entered the realm of transcendence- the power of existence in the spirit world was something that mortals could not dare to overcome.
Another ruler of the other side of the world who opposes the Grand Duke – King Spirit.
A 9-star talent who has entered the realm of transcendence with the power of one God.
It was only at that level that it was possible to compete with the Grand Duke on an equal footing.
Yes.
I know.
His own summoning was unstable.
As a result, the power of the Archduke was greatly lost.
A moderate level of 8 stars far below the realm of transcendence.
Nevertheless.
The status of an existence equivalent to that of a grand duke was not so easily damaged.
Even though the power was imperfect, its existence was still there.
At least in the world of images where the Advent took place, it was able to demonstrate a near-perfect existence.
That wasn’t something that could be handled by gathering five or six 7-star talents.
Even if they run away from the Archduke and manage to get out of the world of images. It should have been after his mind was thoroughly trampled by the Grand Duke.
“Impossible… “
But how? Does this mean that he can easily escape from the Grand Duke?
Are you off?
No.
They didn’t get off.
The other side is the Archduke.
As a ruler of the world and a transcendent, he was a grand duke who boasted the dignity appropriate to him.
But at some point, all of a sudden.
The transcendent being was transformed into a helpless child with angry parents.
Just struggling with fear, he chose self-destruction to escape the fear.
‘That’s impossible… ‘
Even Bidad, who broke down the wall and climbed into the realm of superhumans and saw the world widened, didn’t come up with a being capable of such a thing.
The Spirit King. 9 Star talent.
No one will make the Grand Duke look like a frightened child.
‘No way… ‘
For a moment, a being appeared in Vidard’s mind, but he immediately shook his head.
A great being. An existence that even the Grand Duke should look up to. Devil.
He intervened and took away his servants? It wasn’t even a funny story.
‘I see… ‘
In the end, Vidard, the Bishop of the Black Root Church and an 8-star warlock, reached the most realistic conclusion.
The Advent Ritual was a fiasco.
Because even the brief ceremony could not be performed and the sacrifices were sorely lacking, the power of the Archduke as well as the power of existence was damaged.
‘It’s over… ?’
Vidad, the warlock, has lived only for this day.
In order to bring down the bloody demon he serves, the Prince Flowing One, and become one with him.
In order to reach the realm of transcendence and be reborn as the ruler of a new world together with great beings.
But with the death of the Grand Duke, everything became meaningless.
Now, he has no clue to reach the realm of transcendence, and no way to reach a great being.
‘… No.’
Vidard, who had been thinking about it until there, shook his head.
‘I can’t end it like this… ‘
He felt the remnants of the Archduke remaining in the destroyed world of images.
He gathered them all together and placed them in a vessel he had emptied to give the Archduke time to descend.
The realization I gained while serving him.
A question I felt while acting on his will.
And, the form of that existence that was directly conveyed when he stayed in his image world.
I poured it all into a bowl that had been emptied and left a lot of space.
“Ah… “
Then I felt a fullness that I had never felt before.
I see another world.
As soon as the situation was over, Raya’s party rushed over to Vidard and fell to the ground.
“I don’t know why the demon prince suddenly destroyed himself- but I should make it clear for now.”
With his omnipotent eyes, Ledar found the part where the blue heart was hidden in Vidad’s body at a glance and stabbed it with his sword.
Kwajik.
The destruction of the blue heart means the end of the wizard.
This moment. All powers that Vidad possessed as a warlock were destroyed.
“Ah… “
However, Vidard struggled with fullness, not loss.
“Ah… I can put more in this way… “
“What?”
Vidad talks about meaningless things with an ecstatic face.
“… !”
In that moment, Ledar witnessed and felt the extraordinary change taking place in Vidard’s ray of light.
It’s not enough to destroy the blue heart!
Ledar cut Vidad’s head.
Took. The power drained from his body, and the blood drained from him.
“Wait-… !”
You captured the bishop of the Blackroot Church alive, and you killed him!
It was the moment when Raya was frightened.
“!?”
She and all of her felt an ominous feeling, as if her blood was flowing backwards.
They looked at Vidad, now a corpse, the source of the ominous.
Blood was pouring from its neck. Okay. Literally, as if the bottom of a jar had been broken.
Vidad’s body and head began to thin like a drained leather bucket.
It was obviously a strange phenomenon.
No matter how much blood a person sheds, it won’t turn out like that.
Soon, Vidard’s body and head became as if only a shell remained, and even that soon turned into blood and spilled on the floor.
All those blood gathered in one place and formed a shape.
It was Vidad.
“Ahh… thank you guys… “
He threw off his human form and became what looked like blood in a glass vial in human form.
Raya and the others were used to that appearance.
The image of the Grand Duke and the Flowing One he had seen in the world of images was also like that.
Raya’s party sensed an instinctive threat and moved away from Vidad.
“Thanks to them, I… “
Ledar confirmed Vidard’s beam of light.
He had regained the eight layers of light again.
And the eight layers of light had a perfect shape and color that was incomparable to before.
“Demon Archduke… “
Redar murmured.
“It seems that he absorbed the power of the demon archduke and became himself.”
“… !”
Everyone was shocked at Ledar’s words.
“Yes!? Omnipotence. Do you see it as well!? Do I look like him?”
Vidad was mad as he spread his arms out to show off himself.
“Yes. I couldn’t have felt wrong. This power. This omnipotence. And his presence. I can feel everything clearly!!!”
It was a show off. Vidad unreservedly revealed his own strength.
Finally, the other people’s faces showed serious expressions like Almighty Eye’s.
It was clear that Vidard had been reborn as something more than just an 8-star warlock.
“Never miss it!”
“I agree!”
Raya and Dugan shouted.
If Vidard really got the power of the demon archduke, he shouldn’t have let go.
If you miss him here, he will soon regain his original powers and reach the realm of transcendence.
In that case. A huge disaster will come that will make you feel like an 8-star warlock.
‘The Devil Grand Duke… !’
It is impossible to safely defeat all of Vidad, who has gained the power of the demon archduke.
There will surely come a situation where someone has to sacrifice.
‘I have to… !’
‘I have to do it!’
Raya and Dugan made up their minds.
The moment of sacrifice that will surely come.
As a high-ranking member of Paraden (educator), he said he would be willing to devote himself to defending the cause.
Is this the start of phase 2?
It was the moment when the final battle, as someone had described it, was about to begin.
“… !”
My body didn’t move.
I couldn’t use mana.
All senses except the top of the neck were denied, limiting their actions.
Is it the power of the demon archduke!?
Raya and Dugan panicked and hurriedly looked at Vidad.
“What! What have you done to me!!!”
Indeed, Vidard shouted ferociously with a more embarrassed face than the two of them.
Now that he felt absolute confidence in himself by absorbing the power of the Grand Duke, the embarrassment following the sudden inconvenient was greater than others.
“This is assassination!”
That’s when Ledar got out of luck.
“Assassination, but… It seems that something is different, is it because of my mood~!?”
Sinia takes over.
“I felt the same way.”
“This is different from the assassination techniques I know- what should I say~… “
“I don’t feel any ominous or evil energy!”
“Ah! That’s it! Our Ledar-kun perfectly explained the sense of incongruity felt by the instructor! Certainly, the assassination techniques I dealt with previously had a sinister and sinister feel to them. What should I say about this… “
“This is confusing… Harasin’s assassin, mad for slaughter, wouldn’t have this kind of aura… !”
“That means!”
The conversation led by Ledar and Sinia in perfect harmony-
“This assassin might not be as terrible as the Harasin we know.”
The meloin is finished.
“… ?”
“… ?”
“… ?”
At that time, Raya, Dugan, and Margan were contemplating how to take that series of conversations.
A huge assailant clad in darkness and wearing an unusual mask was standing among them.
“At some point… !”
“What are you!?”
Looking at the assassin with transcendental powers who suddenly intruded, Ledar and Sinia clearly had wary faces, but their eyes seemed to sparkle for some reason.
It must be because of my mood.
what kind of recruitment style is this?
