64 – Maru vs Demon King (1)
***
Now, several hours have passed since receiving Glomadina’s request.
Round pillars engraved with geometric patterns were spinning brightly in front of my eyes.
Seruna was operating in the spacious underground laboratory.
“done… Is it?”
“Isn’t it too short?”
Lucy and Natalie expressed their disappointment as they stared blankly at the spinning device.
They wanted to keep the party longer.
But the mission is over.
It was sad.
Without knowing their feelings, Maru was being thanked by the elves nearby.
“It would have been absolutely impossible without Maru-nim.”
The elves invited them several times to go see Elder Tranuil together, but Maru politely declined and turned around.
The first thing to do was to go back to Audrit right away.
“Guys, let’s go.”
Maru pulled the line as he headed toward the entrance to the ground.
Laura, with both wrists tied in chains, was dragged helplessly.
Currently, Laura was wearing a mask with only her mouth and nostrils open.
Since her capture, she has remained silent until now.
I guess I’m resisting the theme of being a prisoner to the end.
Even so, there was nothing special after being saved.
It was Lucy’s suggestion.
“How about taking it as a gift from Luciella? I think you’ll be happy to hear that you have something to torture.”
Maru was also about to buy a gift because he was sorry that he had left Luciella alone.
I listened to Lucy and readily agreed with her.
“I have to tell her to take out her regular energy and eat it. Then Luciella will become a bit stronger, right?”
With this thought, he took Laura to Basilite Kingdom.
“I should ask Her Highness to return quickly. I hate being in this city. I will die hard.”
While Maru grumbled and walked, Natalie stuck closely and asked urgently.
“Well, then, how will our party be?”
“However, disbanding. Isn’t that obvious?”
“Sir, I don’t like it… ”
Natalie put on a sullen expression and her shoulders drooped.
Lucy came quickly after her and gave her a smirk.
“Maru. Since I am your slave, can I always be with you?”
“You have to help Luciella with her work. No time to stick with me Take care of my estate.”
“You can stay with me while helping.”
“not. Lucy, you should stop being a slave. Thanks for your help today. As a reward, I’ll talk to Luciella and ask her to remove the tattoo on your belly. Live freely in the future.”
“What?”
Lucy stopped abruptly at his thunder-like sound.
“What do you do that for!”
she frowned.
“I don’t want to erase!”
“Like what? Tattoo?”
It was the moment Maru looked back.
Suddenly, the ground beyond the ceiling shook violently.
Cuckoo Cuckoo Cuckoo!
“What is going on?”
“Is it an earthquake?”
“No, this… ”
That time when everyone looked up at the ceiling.
With a bang, the ceiling collapsed, and the elves, including Maru and the others, were scattered.
After a while.
Maru, who had been pushed into the wall, raised his body and looked around.
There was a cloud of dust in front of my eyes.
“Everyone is fine… ?”
The situation was serious.
Lucy was knocked out from the impact of the blow to the head, and Natalie was crushed by a collapsing metal structure holding her lower half.
“I am hurt! priest! Where is the priest! Cool!”
She lay on the floor, coughing up blood as she struggled to remove the metal structure.
But it didn’t look easy.
“Natalie!”
Maru hurriedly ran and removed the metal structure at once.
Natalie’s lower body was a mess.
My ankle turned and it wasn’t even a fuss.
“wait!”
Maru hurriedly rummaged through his forearms.
All healing potions have run out.
It was a mistake to share it with everyone in a good mood just because the work was almost finished.
“There is no potion. I’ll have to wait for the priest. Hold on for a little while.”
“yes… Cool!”
Maru looked at her with a sad look and turned his gaze away.
who the hell
At his feet, he saw the back of a huge black beast.
The guy who had just destroyed Seruna had two horns that were curved like a mountain goat and glowed golden.
is that guy
Maru pulled out the ax that was on his back.
It quickly approached.
As he got closer, he turned around.
The moment our eyes met, Maru stopped involuntarily.
The boy’s eyes were twinkling eerily.
‘This guy is no ordinary guy.’
It was clear that he had a mighty power that he had never seen before.
“Demon King!”
Laura, whose hands were chained, staggered to run and knelt in front of him.
“This is me! The author thwarted our plans!”
Despite being blinded by the mask, she pointed directly at the floor.
Maru’s expression hardened as he watched the scene.
Are you the devil?
Is that guy the devil?
Then, was all this the devil’s doing?
Maru’s expression quickly became tense.
Demon King Insulei took a step forward.
-It’s the first species I’ve ever seen. Is it a human mutation?
Even though I only heard the voice, a tremendous sense of intimidation pressed down on the floor.
It was a feeling of fear that made me want to shake my head at any moment.
Maru overcame the pressure and fixed the axe.
“Are you the Demon King? Great. I finally have something to brag about to my mother when I go home.”
It was reckless to attack the demon king alone, but I had to lure him to another place quickly.
With Lucy, Natalie, and elves lying around, it was dangerous to leave him here.
-Hoho, are you saying you want to challenge this body?
“then no? How many days in advance do I have to make a reservation to fight you?”
Maru spun the ax and jumped.
“Follow me.”
He stepped over the collapsed debris and quickly climbed to the ground.
Strangely, my heart didn’t calm down.
It was fear.
The Demon King was incomparable to any demons he had met before.
Did he go on an adventure with Kiera in the hope of beating a guy like that a long time ago?
The liver protruded out of the stomach.
To be sure, even with Kiera’s current skills, that guy would probably have a hard time.
“My mother must have beaten many of these guys.”
It’s really amazing and respectful.
Yes, my mother did it too, but there is nothing that I can’t do.
He repeated over and over again that he could do like his mother.
“This kid is coming or not.”
I looked back.
I couldn’t see the demon king following me.
It was the moment when I stopped running and looked back inadvertently.
The demon king was standing right in front of me.
Shit.
it’s fast
– Come on, you came as you wished. Unleash all your abilities
A huge monster black as pitch black sharpened its claws.
The floor standing in front of it was small and fragile.
“Are you really the devil? I killed him later, but if you say it’s not the demon king, you’ll get mad.”
I’m talking nonsense thinking I’m going to drag a little time.
A big guy like that appeared in the middle of the city, but the elves couldn’t see it.
Hold out as long as possible until reinforcements arrive.
The demon king is truly a huge fear itself.
I didn’t have the confidence to win alone.
– If you don’t believe me, feel it for yourself. You will die most miserably than anyone else.
Maru grabbed the ax tightly.
shouted into the void.
“mother! My son finally faces the Demon King! Please support us!”
The reason I ran away from home for years.
The pretext of catching the demon king.
Let’s do it.
“Goes!”
Maru made up his mind and rushed at him like an arrow.
Thanks to the cloak of the king of the undead, the speed of rushing was the best.
It was a moment when I soared up 20 meters at once and swung an ax aiming at the guy’s face.
The demon king lightly grabbed the floor in the air and grabbed the whole body with his hairy hands.
“Ouch!”
– Is it just this? don’t let me down
It was then.
The summoned dragon’s head near the demon king’s ankle emitted a breath.
Quarrrrr!
-Kuh!
Shocked by the powerful flames, the guy fell to one knee.
Maru quickly got out of his grip and leaped using his upper body as a stepping stone.
As it was, I slammed the ax right into the guy’s forehead.
puck!
‘succeded!’
Maru grabbed the ax and hung on, making an expression of joy for a moment.
However, the demon king only shed blood from the middle of his forehead and did not move.
-Oh… it was good. It was pretty good.
Maru’s face hardened seriously.
– Anything else? Anything else? If there is nothing more to show, there is only death!
The demon king grabbed the floor like lightning and threw it away.
Maru was unable to fall out of 2km and rolled over dozens of times before getting stuck.
The demon king reached the place where he fell in one breath with one leap.
Then he threw his fist and slammed it to the floor.
Wow!
Soon after, the fist was removed, and Maru vomited blood and wriggled in the middle of a large dented pit.
“Cool!”
– It’s bland. But the life force is tired. It would be fun to play with
From then on, the demon king’s unilateral attack was unleashed.
Despite his large size, he was as fast as the wind and disappeared before my eyes like smoke.
Even if I tried to counterattack, I couldn’t catch the bell at all.
Maru continued to be driven into a corner, and all he could do was protect himself with both arms.
His claws scratched and the scars on his body increased.
And at some point, to make matters worse, the chronic chest pain began to recur.
“Keugh!”
puck!
Maru was hit by the devil’s fist once again and rolled on the floor.
Even so, I desperately tried to stand up again, but now it was the limit.
My body didn’t listen.
The chest pain also became more severe.
He flopped across the floor.
“Ugh… ! Ugh!”
– It’s a device that loses vitality. I’ll admit one toughness.
The Demon King summoned a sword coated with a red aura right in front of his eyes.
The dark aura around the blade was as ominous as the owner.
– It held up well for a human being.
That time when the demon king slowly raised his sword in front of Maru’s eyes.
I heard someone running.
“honey!”
“!?”
Maru was awakened by the familiar voice.
why is she here… ?
And it’s the first time I’ve heard of honey.
I looked around blankly and my heart sank.
Shit.
It was near the lodging.
He cried desperately as he coughed up blood.
“no! Do not come!”
It was Audrey.
She hurriedly ran and faced the demon king with her back to the floor that had fallen on the floor.
“Please stop it! This guy can’t fight anymore! Surrender!”
-Ho?
The demon king looked at her with an interesting gaze.
Maru shouted as she struggled to crawl to where she was standing.
“Don’t stay here! run away! Run away!”
Audrit looked back and smiled kindly.
“Only trust me. I will protect you.”
More at noblemtl
Jiying.
The beam fired from the devil’s claw hit the spot where she was.
Kwaaang!
An explosion occurred.
Maru’s eyes widened and he cried out for Audrit.
When the thick dust cleared, there was no trace of her except for a hollow pit.
“Audrey yee!”
Maru burst into tears in despair.
– You guessed it, were you lovers?
“야 이 개새끼야!”
– Ha ha ha. Now it’s fun. There is nothing more delicious than seeing human despair and sorrow.
“Yes, it’s not a dog. That’s not right… ”
What stood in Maru’s eyes was collapse and frustration instead of hatred and anger.
A loved one died right in front of your eyes.
Could there be anything worse than this?
Destiny is so deplorable.
The will to live has disappeared.
Let’s just die together.
“I don’t even know anymore… ”
The pain in my chest that I had been barely suppressing for so long.
Maru was released without regret.
“Fuck the world, throw it away.”
Dig!
A light emanated from his chest.
Immediately, Maru’s body changed into a huge monster with four legs and wings.
***
A point far away from the demon king at that time.
Under the starry night sky, Audrit, trapped in transparent water droplets, was descending leisurely.
“… What happened?”
She tilted her head, looked down at the city, and soon realized.
A smile formed on his lips and he put his hands together and prayed.
“Thank you, Mr. Belkran.”
While she closed her eyes and thanked God, an angry monster was attacking the demon king in the distance.
Jeeeezzz… how dumb she can be?
