216. Bloodfest (5)
It wasn’t just fighting between wizards, the world of competition was originally like this.
A first-class inspector.
The more high-level wizards.
Winning or losing is decided by the difference of a piece of paper.
The battle between Hera, the pinnacle of sorcerers, and Cyana, called the Second Coming of Nastal, did not deviate much from this example.
“why?”
Hera said, caressing the punctured belly in vain. Warm blood flowed between his fingers. She quickly recalled the battle without even feeling pain. It was Hera’s habit.
It was a very small difference.
Just before the cursed thorn pierced Cyana, the Aquarius protection magic imprinted on her witch hat was activated.
The protection magic on the hat wasn’t great, but for a moment, it was enough to buy Cyana time to complete the spell she couldn’t memorize.
1 second… … In that fleeting moment that Aren’s small but great gift earned, Paramelapa’s darkness ate away the cursed thorn, and Cyana pierced Hera’s stomach with lightning magic.
Although Cyanna didn’t 100% intend this situation, she had no doubt that Aren’s gift would help her in the moment she needed it.
‘this… … power of love?’
For some reason, Shiana felt her heart warm.
Even then, his eyes cooled coldly when he saw Hera taking a step towards him. This is because when you look at Hera, you think of a witch of red flames, a woman worse than her enemy.
Not even good words came out of the kind Siana’s mouth.
“Madame.”
“… … Queue.”
Hera’s blood gushed backwards at the title of lady, and because of that, the blood rose up to her throat and she couldn’t answer.
“Reflection in Hell.”
After that, Hera stumbled forward. The floor where she fell was dripping with blood.
Cyana slumped back in her seat only after Hera stopped breathing.
Although they won after a fierce battle, the damage that Ciana suffered was considerable.
A large part of his mana was consumed, and there were big wounds here and there. Above all, since he used high-ranking magic several times in that short period of time, the consumption of mental energy was extreme.
Cyanna saved her own life and glanced at the torn witch hat.
“Aren.”
He even hugged his hat tightly. Like hugging Aren.
“this… … power of love.”
Cianna passed out, feeling happy that Aren’s warm love had saved her life.

“… … !”
same time.
There was a man who was waiting for the right moment with a knife in his arms.
“You did it!”
He noticed the atmosphere of the royal castle changed in an instant.
The air, which had been so heavy that it was difficult to even breathe, became lighter again, and the strange sensation that made my head dizzy flew away as if it had been washed away.
This was proof that his son-in-law had performed his duties well.
“My daughter has asked for someone who is quite usable.”
Satisfied with his son-in-law’s ability, he opened the huge warehouse door that had been blocked with a window.
coo coo… … .
When the heavy iron door opened, light leaked into the dark armory.
What Deckard had locked away in the warehouse was none other than a member of the Royal Knights.
The knights had just come to their senses and were confused.
“Ugh… … .”
“Who, who are you?”
“Where are you… … ?”
Deckard let out a sigh of relief when he saw his men come to their senses.
It was because, in case something went wrong, Deckard was going to take responsibility and kill the soldiers he had raised.
If the royal knights, not other people, were manipulated and rampaged, then there would be no way to stop them.
If such a tragedy occurred, the guilt that Deckard would feel would be indescribable.
“Gentlemen… … .”
Deckard finally opened his mouth, weeping at the fact that he did not have to see the tragedy.
“Captain?”
“Calm down. Aeonia is in danger.”

… … .
The more you block Prince and Pope’s offensive, the higher the story damage rate in real time.
It’s okay if you follow the big picture, but the detailed process was chaos.
The pope, the head of the magic association, and the court mage leave for the academy, and I stop them.
The story will continue to be damaged until the end of Act 5, right before ‘Resurrection of the Demon King’.
If the story damage rate exceeds 100% and the demon dies, the initialization process will take place and an unknown future will take place.
Of course, the mindset of ‘If only the devil is resurrected, it’s good!’ is dangerous.
When the demon king is resurrected, the damage rate will be restored, but ‘how much’ it will be restored is definitely unknown.
So if you can, it’s better to go with the original story.
For example, it is now a choice between the Pope and Theodore to defeat first.
If you think about the flow of the 5th act highlight, it is like this.
1 page. Royal Knights breakthrough event.
Chapter 2. Subdue the court wizard Theodore.
Chapter 3. Subdue the Pope and the Fallen Crusader.
Since the royal knights do not fight in the royal castle, Chapter 1 passes as it is.
Chapters 2 and 3 are left, but if you follow the order of fighting, the Pope must be killed later.
In other words, the first enemy I need to defeat is Theodore.
It’s a small difference, but I was thinking of keeping the order if I could.
‘I don’t have time.’
The Demon King’s Egg is nearby.
Now that he has turned into a hemp tribe, the influence of Al was very great.
It was to the point where I felt as if I was being robbed of demonic energy in real time.
It is a situation where there is no choice but to win before the demonic spirit is taken away and exhausted.
and… … As the goal is the resurrection of the demon king, I intend to shove my demonic energy into my mouth.
As they prepared to attack, Princer let out a groan and began to tremble.
The snowflakes that fell from his body were blown away by the wind.
Even the vision was blurred by the heavy snow.
[Story damage rate 91%]
When I set the target, the damage rate went down slightly.
However, as long as Prince changes, there is no time to worry about such things.
‘It’s started.’
The best ice spirit’s skill, ‘Ice Age’.
It was a magic that caused a snow storm to increase his size and make him stronger.
As expected, these guys are going to take me down before I’m at full strength.
The Prince, who had been swollen with snowflakes, was now the size of a small mountain.
Like the legendary yeti driving the blizzard, Princer’s lower body was barely visible.
On top of that, Theodore’s auxiliary magic was added, and it was reborn as a tremendous power enough to deal with the entire kingdom alone.
Poof, quaang-!
After being stunned by its overwhelming size for a moment, the pope swung the flail toward his waist without missing a chance.
I hit it with a purifier, but as soon as I touched it, the divine power that exploded like a landmine caused the arm to return to human form and then return to demon form.
‘Certainly the Pope is more picky.’
Even if it doesn’t follow the order of the boss battle, the Pope has a sure counter method called divine power.
It wasn’t a very easy opponent because it would become a war of attrition if you simply fight with swords.
There was no time to focus on the physical battle with the Pope, ignoring the combination of Theodore and Prince, who completed their ultimate.
You need to get rid of the prince who is in the way as soon as possible and focus on the pope. that was the correct order.
――!
I stretched my wings down and leaped into the sky.
There was no blizzard in the sky.
Instead, Prince’s red eyes, huge like a mountain, followed my wings slowly.
Prince, who was supporting his heavy body with both arms, raised his body with his shoulders wide open. As the super-giant yeti moved, the terrain changed moment by moment, causing an earthquake.
―――!
There was a cry of an unknown creature. The eardrum seemed to be torn. But this was medicine.
Each thing Prince tried to do was to burst the air by clapping his hands with both arms the size of a blue whale.
‘The first boss mob in Act 5, the Yeti Prince.’
Theodore and Prince are the first bosses Ackerman and his companions meet when they learn of the devil’s resurrection plan and try to enter the royal castle.
I had already experienced the power of this monster once.
With a hand clap, the sonic boom boasts tremendous destructive power enough to break down even the thick walls of the castle.
‘If you get hit with a straight line, you’ll die from internal rupture.’
Since he had already tasted its power once, the muscles in his stomach that remembered the bitter taste of fear naturally contracted.
In the game, it’s a monster that can be cleared because of Shiana’s wide-range protection magic and Hoya’s long-distance assist, but now I have to solve everything by myself.
It’s the weapon they took out to kill me quickly in the beginning, but the countermeasure was already in my head.
‘It’s over if I stop clapping my hands in the first place.’
Both arms charge towards each other. Even though it looks slow, it’s a speed that broke through the sound speed. You have to slow down and stop it.
Consumes a large amount of magic.
Acceleration of the ensuing brain. The brain gets hotter. As much as it uses great power, overload takes place.
‘Spatial refraction.’
Each huge arm consumes 500 demonic energy. Tears of blood flowed from his eyes. As the size of the object to be refracted was large, the risk was also great.
Even if he was a great demon, it was not easy to subdue the highest level ice spirit, and even the monster that used the ultimate skill.
Both palms flying to flatten me. As the shadow gradually fades, at the same time, you feel the pressure as if the air is being compressed.
That moment,
――!
The two arms, which were approaching at such a high speed that the surrounding shapes were distorted, stopped for a moment.
Because of the sudden braking, the air gathered in a narrow place and caused a big storm. Then there was an explosion with a large shockwave.
Blood flowed from his eyes, and at the same time Prince’s arm fell helplessly to the floor.
bang… … !
coo… … !
The earth shook. The ice spirit’s forearm was broken as it was, causing an avalanche.
Now was the chance.
Anyway, with Theodore’s auxiliary magic, the blizzard continues to blow, and the giant arms made of snow quickly recover.
Now that the prince was incapacitated for a moment was the chance to end Theodore and the ice spirit.
Boo-!
The yeti-shaped ice spirit howled. As if responding to that cry, the monsters gathered around us cried all at once.
Terrible sounds came from all directions. If there is a ghost song, it would be right here.
“There’s been a lot of crowds.”
clap.
I floated high into the sky and raised my magic sword.
A devil is flying in the dark night sky.
The devil raised the sword of hell over his shoulder. Then, he poured all his strength into the sword. An ominous energy permeated the sword, and it burned with the momentum to turn everything in this world into ashes.
With the determination to cut mountains and split glaciers, he cut the yeti in two, like a giant mountain.
* * *
Dark red flames spread out, engulfing everything around them.
Many of the monsters who flocked to see the resurrection of the Demon King were caught up in my conversion blow and turned to ashes.
Theodore and Prince had nothing to say. They are erased from this world.
The price was so great.
I took my human form and knelt down as it was.
Rather than sitting still and being deprived of demonic energy, he poured out all his demonic energy and devastated the area. Thanks to that, I had no stamina left.
Even holding the sword in my hand was difficult.
The pope came with the Holy Chariot. He was silently laughing at me.
As we saw in the future, all that was left was the holy carriage led by the Pope, me, and the unicorn.
The Pope used much of his divine power to block the shock wave and the magic sword’s fire.
His body had also returned to the form of an old man.
Even the power to maintain youth has been robbed.
They faced each other in a state where all their strength was exhausted.
“stop… … Give up. An ugly homunculus.”
I threw a word at him who was living a life with an ugly appearance.
“You are foolish. Blackfire.”
The pope immediately responded.
If you put your mind to it, you can even squeeze the strength you used to suck and hit the old man’s neck.
Nevertheless, the Pope was not afraid and approached me.
“If I had quietly served Thanatos-sama, I would have reigned over the world as the second-in-command.”
Because there is a corner to believe.
The pope said so, and in his bosom, the devil’s egg… … No, I took out the demon king.
“… … !”
I was out of breath. The existence of the Demon King, who swallows demonic spirits even with a breath, seemed to put shackles on my neck. Even if it was in a clot of blood… … !
The demon king, in the form of a newborn baby, stared at me with eyes without pupils.
Goosebumps ran up the spine.
I expected it, but when I met it, my heart felt like it would sink.
‘Maybe it’s because I’m a great demon, I feel an irresistible power… … .’
It was truly bizarre to see a newborn baby staring at me without even crying. The thought of bowing my head ran through my head.
Every time the demon king breathed, the wild flowers in the field also withered.
The fields were full of death.
“Worship.”
The pope’s mouth was ripped open to the clown. His composure, which he had maintained until the end, was gradually breaking down.
“Our great king!”
He supported the Demon King with both hands and held it high. The demons and demons who had gathered all of a sudden bowed their heads and worshiped the birth of the demon king.
two, geun.
It was definitely a heartbeat.
The heartbeat of the demon lord penetrated my brain and made resistance itself impossible.
“Embrace your death, Blackfire, traitor. It is the victory of the Demon King!”
The pope was overjoyed and declared victory.
“Kuh… … !”
“… … Smile? What’s so funny?”
Even though he declared victory, I laughed out loud. it was so damn funny The appearance of the pope who doesn’t know anything and brags about it.
“You are foolish. Venice. You dying.”
I returned the pope’s words.
“What?”
“You still don’t know?”
[Checking story damage rate… … ]
I was exhausted and dizzy, but I still laughed.
My appearance was funny.
The image of me rejoicing at the birth of the demon king.
[Recover part of the story]
[Story damage rate 85%]
“Look around.”
“… … ?”
The demon king ate the numerous souls of the original capital and was resurrected.
At the last moment of Act 5, the Demon King leaves with more than 70% of his prime power recovered.
However, the moment the demon king is resurrected in the form of an ‘egg’, the power is insufficient.
It requires a lot of energy… … .
“Now, wait.”
There was no one around the pope.
“The wagon… … !!”
There was no way there was a carriage.
“You guys… … !”
“Venezio Adragones. I will punish you with the royal sword.”
Instead, when Theodore died, Cain opened his eyes and pointed his sword at him.
“Kuk!”
The bewildered Pope hurriedly glanced around.
“It’s no use. Even monsters know that my life is precious.”
I was thinking of offering another monster as a sacrifice, but that was an arrogant plan.
Demons are basically selfish.
There was a ‘heart’ of a homunculus that had lived for hundreds of years, but there was no reason to voluntarily sacrifice it.
The demons and monsters widened their red eyes and giggled. Comradeship is a look that has been given away.
giggling-!

Kyahahaha!
I could hear monsters laughing from all sides. Everyone wished for his miserable end.
“Oh, no! This is impossible! I, how long have I waited!”
“huh. Will the demon king really save you?”
The demon lord was neglected for hundreds of years?
The demon lord I knew wasn’t that generous.
Wood deok!
Suddenly, the pope’s ribs were broken.
“Ahhh-! help me!!!”
No, the demon king, who was nothing more than a clot of blood, broke his ribs and began to eat the Pope’s heart.
It was a very miserable end for a self-made man who lived a long life and enjoyed all kinds of wealth, honor, glory, and eternal life.
“… … The time has come soon.”
All that was left was chaos.
The future seen through Doombia’s prophecy is because the demon king did not leave quietly.
