250. Come, traitor of fate (2)
“Come, traitor of destiny. I was waiting.”
It was a comment from a villain that could have been overlooked inadvertently.
Because it was too common, and it was a word that was covered with the cliché of the final boss.
But the strange sense of beauty I felt right now was indescribable. The cliché comments I was used to were unfamiliar to me today.
‘A traitor of destiny?’
I couldn’t understand why those words came out of the devil’s mouth.
It is true that I am currently fighting against all sorts of absurdities while claiming to be a prophecy or a system, but the fact that the demon king knew about that was completely different.
He didn’t specifically point at me, but I could definitely feel it. He must have told me to look and listen.
Actually, his pale eyes were on me.
“It took a lot of hard work to get here. It seems my men were useless after all.”
Coo-goo-!
The demon king easily jumped off the mountain of bones. Bones shattered and white powder scattered. The Demon King landed on the floor.
‘I’ve grown much more than then.’
If he was only a child when he met the demon king last time, he seemed to be about the same age as us now. It was a face that even looked familiar somewhere.
It would have increased his strength as well. If it’s later, I might really not be able to afford it.
“It’s a lot of power… … . My body trembles by itself.”
Ackerman with good intuition. It wasn’t common for him to say something like that just by facing him.
But he wasn’t one to be intimidated by that. Ackerman quickly comforted his colleagues with positive energy.
“Everyone is nervous. If you’re not careful, it’s over. I can win!”
“The God of Light is with you. Let’s win!”
“Go, go!!”
The warrior party members cheered each other on and prepared for the final battle.
Actually, the Demon King did not show any hostility. He just smiled and stared at us in the dark. exactly me.
“… … ?”
The fact that a boy of an ordinary age was a demon king, and the fact that the demon king was smiling meekly like that was so strange that we all froze.
Because I didn’t know exactly how to react. It was also creepy.
I came to fight, but I can’t even feel the slightest bit of life. However, if we attacked first, we could not find a gap.
I wonder if the composure emanating from a master of transcendental perfection is like this.
“I want to talk to you for a minute.”
After relaxing like that, Thanatos soon began to speak incomprehensible words.
“What?”
Suddenly, my impression was frowned upon. I never dreamed that the demon king would ask me to talk leisurely for a little while.
In the first place, this development was very different from the game story.
The battle of the demon king proceeds as a ‘battle’ from the beginning with his roar. There was no conversation at all.
It’s not like it’s a leisurely development where we’re going to have a conversation without any tension like now.
“What are you up to? I’m here to bring you down! Stop talking nonsense!”
Ackerman shouted as he breathed magic into Acheron. It was ready to run at any moment. Hoya, Cain, Shiana, and Bell all stood guard against the demon king’s breath with one heart.
―I am the possessor. Now he’s wasting time… … ! We have to attack.
It is Acheron who knows the demon king well. After entering the Demon Realm, he really gnashed his teeth and helped Ackerman.
It’s Acheron who probably doesn’t know anything about the demon lord, but right now it’s wrong.
‘no.’
-What?
not wasting time
Opening and maintaining large-scale gates. No matter how much he is a demon king, it makes no sense to say that there is no risk.
However, his laid-back spirit makes nonsensical stories into sense.
‘The Demon King really wants to talk to me.’
facial expressions, speech, and composure. everything means that
What is it that you are curious about? Thanatos really wants to talk to me.
It was an inexplicable connection that only I could feel.
-Dangerous. If you talk to him, you might be mind-controlled! You should know!
Acheron was excited and stopped me.
Certainly, the Demon King had such an ability. He has all kinds of powerful skills and specialties, so being careful doesn’t make him an opponent.
Because it was the demon lord Thanatos who was designed to be defeated unconditionally in the first place.
‘I don’t intend to talk either.’
I can’t wait to see what nonsense he will say. Things are kind of bad right now.
Judging by the magic response, the gate is still open.
I didn’t even know how that monster kept the gate.
Looking at the scale of the corpses eaten, there was nothing incomprehensible, but there was nothing strange about it.
‘Nothing will change.’
Anyway, it is urgent to close the gate first. It may be difficult to kill the demon king, but you have to deal damage to prevent him from maintaining the gate.
Pod!
Spur the ground and instantly close the distance. Now is the time when his strength is at its weakest.
A shadow is cast over the body, and the holy sword shines brightly. The darkness of the demon king’s cave recedes in the light of the holy sword.
“under—-!”
If you can block it, try to block it, a blow with sincerity. The demon king smiled leisurely and stretched out his hand. It is a blocking action.
In an instant, I twisted the sword’s trajectory. A horizontal cut, not a vertical cut that flows from top to bottom. The five-star swordsmanship defies even the laws of physics.

Knock!
Blood bursts.
My sword attack was blocked by his hand. The guy blocked the sword with his bare hands. However, the left arm that was stretched out to defend was split in half, and the sword was stuck below the elbow.
Chiiik–!
The blood and flesh are burned by the divine power of the purifier. Deadly demonic energy flowed from his evaporating blood and exhaled breath, but the set effect of the holy sword protected me.
“My child, traitor of fate. Do you really want to talk to me?”
He asked me with a painful face. There is an effect. But the response is that they don’t care.
“Everyone help Aren!!!”
Ackerman’s voice is heard from behind. The sound of Hoya pulling the bowstring. The voices of Ciana reciting the incantation and Bell’s sacred prayers are clearly audible.
“Just die here.”
Devil.
I’ve killed countless times, but you’re always a bad boss.
“You’re being rather annoying. stupid thing.”
The veins in the demon king’s eyes stand tight. Then he gathered his strength, repaired his arm, and shook me off.
Then, he deflected all attacks directed at him with a single swing of his arm. Even the mighty Geshem’s storm arrows were neutralized by its exploding demonic energy.
“Your destiny will be completed only when you die anyway. Let it finish.”
“… … ?”
Before he had time to grasp the true meaning of those words, the demon king raised his demonic spirit and began to push Bell’s divine power away.
It was a scene where light and darkness were fighting for power.
When he gains strength, life rises in an instant. It was more powerful than anything I had ever encountered.
“Oh… … !”
If it were a normal person, just being within a certain range would kill him because he couldn’t breathe.
“Everyone radiates magic!”
Cain shouted.
In order not to be suppressed by death and evil, you must coat your body with that much magic. The higher the level of the fight, the more trivial things must be paid attention to.
“I will take care of this!”
The saintess of light, Bell, who had been immersed in light, and her whole body began to glow white, which was no longer red.
That figure was the incarnation that appeared when the god of light bestowed powerful powers on Bell.
Bell, wearing a torch, reached out.
Then, a wave of light that seemed to dispel all the darkness in the world swallowed the demon cave. The stench and demons that filled the surroundings disappeared as if they had been washed away.
large-scale cleansing.
It was Bell’s wide-area skill that signaled the start of Phase 1 of the final boss fight.
* * *
A fierce and high-level battle continued to the level of death if brushed. It was a 5:1 fight, but it was surprising that the demon king could counter it to this extent.
“Heh, heh… … !”
“ha. Are you okay guys?”
Ackerman’s shoulders shake at Cain’s urgent question. Blood was dripping down his arm. It was a big wound.
It wasn’t just Ackerman who suffered. Hoya was already unable to fight, and the other teammates suffered significant damage.
Even with Bell’s powerful blessings and buffs, it was very difficult to deal with the demon lord.
Fortunately, the demon king is in human form, but the powers and skills are the same, so the attack patterns are similar.
Thanks to that, I fought while avoiding his attacks at the right time and helping my comrades avoid fatal injuries.
I wanted to push harder, but the Demon King’s resistance was also quite strong.
Still, my teammates were still able to fight enough, and I had conserved my strength, so it was definitely a situation that worked out ‘well’.
The battle order of Phase 1 was exactly that.
If you push forward like this, you should be able to defeat the demon lord smoothly.
… … But what is this awkwardness?
‘If you fight like this… … . I would have cut my HP by about 1/3.’
If you calculate the attack that went in, it would have done that much damage.
But somehow, looking at the demon king’s current appearance, it didn’t seem like he had suffered any damage.
‘I can’t believe that guy.’
A phenomenon that I do not understand no matter how much I think about it.
If the gate was open and received a massive attack, the damage would have accumulated.
However, being so fine could not be explained unless it was against the laws of the world.
There is only one thing that can do this.
‘The source of the demon… … .’
It was the power of one of its unique characteristics, the [Magic of the Source].
The demon king is the demon, the source of demons. This meant that he was maintaining the current status quo by consuming his essence.
In other words-
‘I entered the final phase without an intermediate process.’
It wasn’t phase 1 from the beginning, it was in the last phase state.
The Demon King was overdoing it from the start.
‘Being fine doesn’t mean being fine.’
Because I’m dragging the future and writing it now.
The question that arises here is, why is it so overbearing?
In the game, the party of warriors, who had been looked down upon at first, did not collapse and attacked until the end, and the demon king, who felt a sense of crisis, used his last strength to survive, but now it was different.
It wasn’t that he was particularly evil and wanted to kill us. I didn’t feel anything like struggling to live. He was only defending and fighting only to the extent that he was not defeated.
look at the guy’s face
It was the face of an extremely ordinary man, a man of his age who would have seen it at least once while walking down the street.
‘What’s the purpose?’
Is it simply to keep the gate? Was it time wasting?
The Demon King can’t do this.
It’s very different from the game. We need to find out his true purpose.
“Ackerman!”
“Uh, huh?”
I ran to Ackerman’s side and said. Use the Nastal Oath.
“now?”
“right now.”
As it is, it is an artifact that is suitable for use at this time. No, it’s a bit late. It would be the right flow to use right before entering the final phase.
The Demon King continues to focus only on ‘defense’. Whatever the plan, we must break through its defenses and close the gate.
‘There must be a purpose to keep the gate open.’
As Ackerman murmured, the Nastal oath appeared in the air with a glow.
An oath containing the essence of a great mage that will not even be affected by the curse of the demon lord.
“Stand, I swear!”
At Acheron’s direction, Ackerman clumsily began to shout the oath.
Every time he memorized the oath, his status window fluctuated in real time. All kinds of debuffs disappeared, and powerful buffs were added.
Bell’s blessing was added to this, and for the next 10 minutes, Ackerman became immortal.
Attribute ‘Way of the Warrior’ has reached its peak.
“strength… … It springs up.”
Of course. What a trio of protagonists. The fraudulent artifact that even deflects the curse of instant death is the ‘Nastal Oath’.
Only Ackerman, wearing Nastal’s magic, breaks through, and the rest of his teammates throw all their strength to defeat the demon lord.
“let’s go.”
Ackerman gave a pat on the back.
“okay… … !”
Somehow, I’m a bit dumbfounded because I’m taking on his role, but the main character is still the main character. Ackerman’s current powers were terrifying.
Ackerman takes a stand. That posture must have been polished… … .
“Biggie.”
Ackerman rushed in with a gale. Magical power raged on his blade. reach in an instant Nastal’s oath dispelled all sorts of curses, spells and demons that stood in his way.
“――The immortal light that cuts through the skin!”
The red magic power resembling his hair clearly remained on the track he was running on, drawing a line. Along the way, Ackerman’s unique magical power burned everything.
gap.
We did not miss that fleeting opportunity.
Hoya threw a storm arrow with all his might. Cain threw out a swordfish with the speed of a flash. Siana countered all the magic created by the demon king in real time, and Bell blocked all kinds of curses pouring down on her colleagues with prayer.
and i
“Burn up.”
He started burning the holy sword.
Beyond making sword steel with magical power, it converts family secret technique ‘Blackfire’ into sword steel. Enormous magical power, mental strength, and physical strength are consumed in real time.
Blood leaked out of his mouth. Because it was the power to change life force.
But you have to be patient. Because it’s the final blow. I have the ‘Eyes of Entero’ that the main character should have.
I am the only one who can see where the devil’s heart is. In the end, it’s up to me to cut off the demon king’s head.
“ha—–!”
The thoughts of the warriors, the wishes of Aeonia, poured into the demon king.
The moment the blinding flash burst out, the demon king’s thoughts reached me.
―You can’t remember until the end.
