Episode 32. Il-Gi-To (End)
“Aagh!”
“Potion! Where is the potion?!”
While Prause was dealing with Lichen alone, screams and crackling sounds echoed across the border.
They were holding on much more firmly than expected, but as the demons’ skills began to infect them one by one, the situation began to fall into chaos.
“Protect the Wizard! If you can’t keep it, everyone will die here!!”
If the wizard dies, there is no way to escape because there is no one to use the teleport. However, it was too far to run to the second line of defense. It was almost certain that he would be caught and killed by the demons before he could reach it.
However, there were those who remained unconcerned even in the midst of such trouble. They were S-class.
“Hey, do you see that?”
“I’m crazy, what?!”
Inkuro asked while cutting the head of the demon knight climbing up the wall. Urca, who was dealing with the two demon knights next to her, responded nervously by cutting her throat.
Inkuro pointed to the two beings fighting fiercely in the center of the pouring demon army.
“That bastard, who exudes momentum that will make you suffocate with demons just by getting close to him, must be a 100% commander.”
“So?”
“That’s why. Now Prause is facing the corps commander alone. Aren’t you surprised?”
“Have you ever dealt with the corps commander?”
“At that time, Harbito was soaked in anti-horse magic and was able to deal with it.”
Speaks like a grumble while clicking his tongue.
I can’t say the fact that even that was only driven out by combining Ella and Ham. It was because it seemed like it would hurt his pride.
Kangja tended to be objectively aware of his skills. It was the same with Incuro.
He was jealous because he knew he couldn’t be like Prause.
“Prause bastard… …. The size of mana seems to be similar to that time, but the movement is on a different level.”
“If you have time to talk, will you kill at least one more demon?”
Kung 1
The walls of the castle shake greatly.
“I just came to ask if we have to retreat because the walls are about to collapse.”
“Retreat? So what about Prause?”
“That guy has already made plans to run away. He’s like a cockroach, so he’ll take care of himself.”
Kooung!
The walls shake once more. As the demons climbed the wall, they were giving shocks so that the ground collapsed.
“Damn it! If we continue like this, the wall will collapse!”
“Even though anti-horse magic is installed, there are too many of them, so I have no choice but to be pushed back!”
Inkuro and Urca shouted while slicing the demons that were constantly climbing up the wall.
“If the walls collapse, the empire will be swallowed up by the army in an instant.”
“Prause assumed from the beginning that the walls would be breached. We just need to make the most of our time here. Of course, I don’t think even that would last more than a few hours!”
When Incuro’s greatsword was swung, the demon knight’s armor was crushed and he fell outside the castle wall.
“So, bring at least the corps commander’s head, Prause.”
* * *
All demons.
It is a skill that temporarily increases strength by consuming large amounts of demonic energy. Since this could only be used by Magi, it was a technique that I, who had Mana, could not imitate.
“Suck!”
Kang!
I can’t compare it to what it was a little while ago.
I am pushed back even though my strength has increased as a copycat. The speed was barely keeping up.
“Show the momentum of a moment ago!”
Quang!
As Miles fell to the ground, the demons who were running toward the wall stumbled and fell. Are you saying that you’re an ally now and that it doesn’t matter?
Milleth’s form was much more ferocious than when I destroyed it. It is a horn growing under the blade of the sword, and the color, which is a messy mix of dark purple and red, gave me a strange sense of anxiety.
“「Illusion Sword」.”
Push!
Lichen’s shoulder blades are cut off. But recovers quickly Since the demonic energy was condensed inside, it was meaningless unless it was instant death damage.
But if we wait until all the demons are over, the copycat will end first.
In the battle with the corps commander, a moment’s hesitation is directly related to death. Somehow it must be finished before then.
“It’s a strange swordsmanship… …. I thought it was blocked, but it seems to have bent in. But I can’t afford it!”
Boom!
Don’t bend your back to avoid it. In that gap, he gathers demonic energy in his sword and uses his skills.
“Demon sword type 6 「Ghost sword」!”
Kwaaang!
It was a huge explosion.
If I had been a little late, I would have been caught in an explosion. I landed on a huge piece of debris floating in the air and dashed at Lichen with a smashing force.
“「Welcoming Banquet Island」.”
Sword strikes that were cut in the air become sword blades and rain down on him. There was no way to stop Lichen from pouring sword energy all at once without a single error.
I will definitely avoid it.
And then, as I expected, I thrust my sword at him who avoided his body once more.
“「Welcome to the Island」!”
Kang!
I swung it with the momentum to completely cut off Miles, but because Lichen shared magic with Miles, it only cracked and didn’t get cut.
“It’s quite the way. Quite right!”
The more the fight gets fiercer, the more excited he is, and he uses his skills intermittently while wielding his sword randomly.
I dodged as much as possible and succeeded in cutting out all the things I could not avoid.
“Great response! I want it to make me feel even more intensely uplifted!”
Kang! Kang!
I receive the sword, but my center of gravity shakes slightly. It started getting weaker and weaker. I feel the strength draining from my body.
“I want to hit you with all my power! I’ll pour all my demonic energy into this attack! If you can try it once, try it!”
Magic energy is concentrated in Miles. It was a much more massive demon than when I used the demon.
This…….
“The secret of the demon sword method…… !”
Before he could finish his words, he shouted as he pulled out another sword from his waist.
“”High-speed movement”!”
Lichen’s skill is a wide-area skill, and its power is much stronger than Peremus’ fist of destruction. When this technology was poured in the direction of the walls, we had no choice but to start the war in the worst possible light.
“「Extermination of demons」!!”
“”Dynamic”!”
I shouted as I approached him right before his sword was swung.
Kang!
Yuri, who swallowed greed, blocks Miles and absorbs demonic energy.
“…… What? How did you stop it?”
Ignoring his stupid question, I tried to swing the sword.
However, his fingertips started to go numb.
Of course, Lichen, who couldn’t face a clumsy attack, dodged it and immediately counterattacked.
“Demon Sword Type 4 「Twisted Sword Strike」.”
Push!
I see blood spurting out.
I managed to block the sword coming into my neck, but I couldn’t block the attacks coming into my side and thighs.
Damn it, recoil…… !
From noble mtl dot com
“Looks like this is it, Prause. I fought well, but in the end, it must be the human limit.”
I rummaged through my pocket and put the red, round thing in my mouth. It was made by freezing the potion.
“…… Is it a healing drug?
“Okay.”
“Do you think you can heal the demonic wounds with a trivial potion?”
“It is not the wounds you inflicted that you are trying to recover from.”
Anyway, since I have the Stone of Purification, Magi didn’t have to worry about it.
“Then…… ?”
I found out one fact that I didn’t know until now while writing copycat.
The point was that if you ate the potion before the copycat ended, the recoil that came back after the effect ended would be reduced.
That doesn’t mean I can’t do the same movements as before using copycat.
“Why do I have to tell you that?”
I wanted to decapitate Lichen, but that was excessive greed. Cutting his lifeline had no choice but to leave it to the warrior.
My body didn’t feel like it, my joints screaming and my muscles twitching. The pain that spread throughout my body was so intense that I fainted, and it was painful to even move.
But for now, I had to be patient.
“I see. I don’t know how I stopped the Oui, but this must be the last one. It was fun, Prause.”
“…… Oh, it’s not over yet.”
“What?”
I moved my creaking body and glanced at the castle wall. Fortunately, thanks to the Anti-Anti Magic, I was holding on well.
“Where are you looking back!”
“「Mantra」!”
The target is Lichen, of course.
He came to a halt while galloping at me. I don’t know what the condition of his eyes is, but the fact that he stopped moving meant that the mantra had worked.
Miles, who was in Lichen’s hand, said, “Kieek?” He vomited out suspicious deaths, but there was no way that Richen, who was distracted, would have listened.
“Eh… Ariel!”
I called her to squeeze her.
“I was waiting for you!”
Ariel flies through the air with her arms wrapped around my waist. Reach the castle wall in no time.
Looking down at the demons from the sky. The demons below looked up at me one by one and tried to use the demon sword technique.
“Eat it.”
I shouted as I swung my greedy glass sword from bottom to top as if scraping it.
“「Extermination of demons」!”
The huge demonic energy pouring down on the demons under the wall covered them and caused a huge explosion.
Kwa gua gua kwam!
As the demons poured down on the demons stepping on the ground, the earth exploded and dust rose in the sky. Even the walls built against the demons shook in shock and collapsed.
If such attacks had been poured into the walls, we would have been pushed back to the second line of defense without doing anything.
That shouldn’t be the case.
I had to buy more time even if it was a minute or a second. Until the hero brings hope to this world.
“…… Big!”
Ah, I feel like dying.
I didn’t want to do this again…….
Although it is said that he is recovering with the potion, he felt like he would faint from the pain. I barely roll my eyes and look at Ariel.
“Ariel…… Request… ….”
“Don’t worry.”
For some reason, her words made her feel relieved and she was able to close her eyes comfortably.
“「Teleport」.”
* * *
“Kiet!”
Hook!
After Prause disappeared, Miles saw Lichen, who hadn’t come to her senses, and stabbed her in the thigh.
“Awesome! Suddenly what…… ?”
“Kieek!”
Milles explains to Lichen, who came to her senses belatedly. Then, the tip of Miles’ sword headed toward the wall. Then Lichen, who had grasped her situation, let her anger out by clenching her fists.
“Prause, this bastard…… !”
The battle lasted less than two minutes at the most.
Still, she made Miles a wreck, drained all of Lichen’s demonic energy, and killed 30 percent of her 2 corps with a single blow.
As a result, Lichen won the victory in Ilto due to Prause’s tail, but even her first mission, let alone the first ball of her war, was a failure.
