278. Gathering (3)
●
Slashing. The act of striking an opponent by swinging a sword.
It is probably an act that has been with mankind since the time when weapons were invented. There must have been as many grains of sand on the beach as there have been similar acts throughout all time.
And among them.
There are either no human beings who can do something similar to that, or you can count them on your hands.
That feeling that if the act of cutting someone with a sword reaches its extreme, it can go to that level.
-!!
-!!!!
Watching the predator split into two sides by the sword attack that came down even in the air with a tendency to burn, the tongue naturally kicked.
‘…Wow, crazy.’
To the point where I feel fortunate that I am not the target of such an attack.
“Wait a minute, no matter how powerful you are, if you get hit by an attack like that…!”
The cowardly Seras opened his mouth like that.
Somehow, before that sentence was even finished, a ‘spark’ burst from the cut section.
“I heard that it won’t split if you do it this way.”
“…”
How did you do it?
A spark rises from the cut section with a time difference?
It’s even more absurd to see her not really splitting after being hit by it.
Sword Saint-nim shrugged at Seras, who was silently silent, and trudged this way.
Hagi article.
It’s about to come after slicing a target that is similar to or larger in size than the fragment of the predator that fell over here.
“…You’re really on time.”
He said that while operating his watch.
I expected it to arrive in a few minutes at the start of the boss battle, but it’s shocking to see it come over as it is, with only a fraction of a second error.
“Are you okay? Didn’t you just get caught in an attack? I adjusted my strength, but…”
“…Strength control?”
That’s power control?
However, the Sword Master responded in a rather embarrassed voice to my reaction.
“Of course I have to. Are you going to kill everyone here?”
“…”
Sadly, this doesn’t even feel condescending. It just feels like a plain truth.
As I was sighing at that fact, Victoria called from the other side with an urgent voice.
“Thanks to that guy, he’s not dead now, you stupid man!”
“…”
What kind of rant is that, Victoria?
But as if those words weren’t a lie at all, the predator that had yet to be hit by the Sword Master’s attack started wriggling again.
“…Is he still alive?”
Seeing Sword Saint-sama muttering incredulously and preparing another sword, I raised my hand to stop it.
“You…?”
“No. Would you like to leave the finish?”
“…If it’s a guy who can survive after being hit with it, it’s unreasonable for you. I have to finish it with my own hands-“
“No.”
Shake your head resolutely.
I made a promise to these guys.
At least they will let you kill their enemies with your own hands.
“But-“
“You just showed me.”
I let out a sigh and continued talking to the Sword Saint who tried to dissuade him again.
“An attack that will work for that guy as well.”
In the first place.
When I said that I needed a ‘strong and heavy shot’, I said that I needed it because I had to see it with my own eyes.
Retrieve the purple magic that bloomed from Victoria and Seras with my seal. The effect is ‘amplification’.
And there.
My ‘Black Magi’ that bloomed from the seal is mixed.
“…!”
“…!”
Victoria and Seras both look at me with surprised eyes at the same time.
Perhaps it was because they instinctively realized what this demon was doing to them.
Things I did before at the school festival or on the battlefield had a huge impact.
It is not the ‘authority’ given to me to ‘subdue’ people.
A special ability that demons usually possess. That hasn’t happened to me yet
And as you can tell by speaking in the past tense.
As the level of the seal went up, I was able to roughly imitate the ‘fragment’.
One of them is this.
I take a deep breath and reflect on what I just saw.
What you want to ‘copy’.
With the sword that Sword Saint-nim showed me right in front of me just now.
Inject it into Seras and Victoria as it is.
They are both accomplished assassins. The power of a blow can be imitated similarly, if not completely.
And then, the search plan was activated.
Find out the most vulnerable part of the current opponent.
“A vital point.”
Guide Seras and Victoria there.
“Clap.”
The next moment.
“What-“
From noble mtl dot com
At the same time as Sword Saint-sama opened his mouth.
Victoria’s and Seras’ bodies hurled forward.
●
Dust is falling in all directions.
It’s not as powerful as Sword Saint-sama’s slashes, which almost felt like tearing the world apart, but this one doubled the number. It’s obvious that it’s an explosive level of attack.
The figure of the predator that was beaten there is definitely not mine.
“…Did you get it?”
As she murmured, she hit the back of Victoria’s head with all her might.
“…”
“…”
“…”
Victoria, who had been beaten, as well as Seras and Sword Saint-sama looked at me silently.
Victoria, who brushed the back of her head with her dazed expression, soon began to tremble.
Tears are welling up around the eyes.
“…Why, why…?”
It must be a sentence to ask why he hit me all of a sudden, but my voice fell coldly before the sentence was completed.
“If you say that, it’s cheap even if you get beaten up.”
“…”
Instead of responding to the gaze that said, “What crazy are you talking about?”, Look at the predator that has been attacked with a sense of urgency.
I really want to, but…!
“…Good catch.”
I let out a sigh of relief when I saw the predator, whose movements were not confirmed.
Anyway, I was scared because he chanted a magic spell that could bring the dead back to life.
“…Dawud Campbell.”
And while I was thinking that way, Geomseong-sama approached me and grabbed his shoulder.
“That was the attack I just did, right?”
“…”
“…How did you do it?”
Well.
To explain that, I have to start by saying that I have stepped out of the human world for a long time and stepped into the realm of demons.
“…I can do more things than I thought.”
I can’t explain it right away, so I’m going to cover it moderately.
“Actually, it could be that I have a tremendous talent for martial arts, so I can copy movements after seeing them at once-“
“Even someone like that cannot ‘copy’ it to someone else.”
“…”
“…What kind of ability do you have?”
Sword Saint-nim spat out those words with a frown on his face.
“To be able to copy the ability you saw once and infuse it into all the people around you.”
He stopped talking for a while, and soon the speaker himself continued the sentences with a look of absurdity.
“…Sounds like you and your ‘force’ can be strengthened almost infinitely.”
“…”
That’s right.
The essence of the “Authority” I received is absurd enough to make me think that it really is.
But there are more urgent things than that now.
“…I don’t think this is the time to be having a leisurely conversation.”
At the same time as he sighed and said those words.
“Because there are still ‘enemies’ left.”
Continued.
I pulled out my sword, startled involuntarily at the mighty energy I felt behind the Sword Master.
“…!”
Although he immediately stiffened when he saw the target approaching from behind.
“Your Majesty…?!”
Sword Saint-nim, who saw the target walking slowly and little by little this way, let out such words in a bewildered voice.
As you said, Your Majesty the Emperor. However, the condition is not normal no matter who sees it.
It walks as if every joint in its body creaks, like a marionette handled by a lousy puppeteer. There is no light in those eyes either. It’s like you don’t have any personality of your own.
Now, this action clearly shows that he is being manipulated by ‘something else’, not by himself.
Just.
Apart from that, everything touched by the energy radiating from all parts of the emperor’s body began to rot and wither.
It is ‘corruption’, the power of the brown devil.
“…”
I let out a deep sigh.
Uh, yes.
Welcome to the chapter boss.
“What is that again…!”
“Mr. Dowd, what the hell is that?!”
Seras and Victoria were also flustered by the brown aura that spread around them, so they uttered those words one after another.
Instead of answering, he stares at his watch in silence.
Let’s see.
The time has come for the “Others” To arrive…
“The swordsman is already here, what else are you waiting for?!”
I heard Victoria say that out of spite.
There is.
The guy who will definitely be here.
Looking at the clock while thinking that.
Waiting voices fall around.
[I hope so. ]
[I hope so. ]
【Just be pure and innocent】
Looking at the brown energy that spreads along with the lineup of such sentences, he smiles.
Look at that.
Come.
“Hey.”
With those words, I smiled round and round and looked at a bastard like a water-filled swallow falling from above.
Talker. Linguistic magician. His name is Seonhwa-ryun.
“Are you clear, black devil?”
“…Please stop talking nonsense, Talker.”
He is the closest aide to the ‘Preachers’, coming down from his side.
●
The luminary who walked in front of me looked at me without saying a word.
“…What is it?”
“…What?”
At the words of the guy who opens the conversation with strange words, I reply with a frown.
At this, the Seer slightly twisted his head and continued.
“It’s been a while since I saw you. Is that the only reaction?”
“…Aren’t we supposed to greet each other like that?”
“I thought you would show a surprising reaction at least?”
“…”
Well.
To be honest, I had a strong feeling that this guy would appear at this point.
There was no evidence or anything, but he was the guy who always appeared whenever something big like this happened.
“Hey. Let’s make one thing clear.”
“…Yes?”
“I have to ask this before going. If I want to survive after this.”
Actually, I’ve only had it for a long time, and there was nothing certain, so I only had it in stock.
After seeing the guy who had been silent for a while falling down here, it’s almost confirmed.
There were quite a few ways to come to a conclusion, but I’ll start with the most important one.
“Do you like me?”
“…”
Maybe it was under a mask, so I couldn’t look straight at it.
Underneath it, the visionary’s eyes are wide-eyed, even without seeing it.
“Help me.”
“…”
“Then I’ll do my best to repay you.”
“…”
I tilt my head at the sight of a pioneer who can’t keep up with the topic, wondering if the explanation was a little short.
“I’ll do something dirty.”
“…”
“Help me-“
“…Shut up your jaw, you crazy bastard.”
“…”
Why are you swearing and fussing?

Finally mc scores some points against prophet.
Dawd, can you stop flirting for a minute, please?
Yeah, he even hit his supposed enemy too
