Episode 33. Breaking through the limits (complete)
“I want to see the teacher, so let’s finish it quickly.”
Tina attempts a horizontal slash aimed at Lichen’s side. Lichen immediately jumped up and dodged both ends of her manmul.
No, she thought she had gotten away with it.
Push!
The tip of the sword at both ends, which had been stirring horizontally, suddenly stood vertically and cut from his chest to the shoulder blades. The armor was lightly cut and blood leaked from the inside.
‘How…… ? I must have avoided it properly, right?’
It was a question.
Richen accurately read the trajectory of Tina’s double-edged sword. When she saw it coming into her side, she dodged it, so she didn’t have time to change course.
She couldn’t comprehend that she had slashed herself.
Tina was displeased with Lichen for hurting her.
‘Am I still immature? I couldn’t aim properly.’
She knew how Lichen would move, so she changed the trajectory of her sword right before. Now, in Tina’s eyes, she could see everything, even the flow of Lichen’s demonic energy.
However, she’s not used to seeing her true nature yet, so she’s a little lost in her direction.
“「Illusion Sword」.”
Suddenly!
I couldn’t avoid it this time either. Lichen disregarded the pain of having one of her arms cut off as she calmly analyzed it.
‘This time again… …. This one seems to be a skill, but the trajectory is off. Even so, it’s coming straight to the vital point. If I hadn’t softened her body, her heart would have been ripped out.’
Due to the nature of swordplay, it was difficult for others to understand the movements of the sword. Not to mention the jagged swordsmanship, even the swordsman could not predict his movements.
In the meantime, as Tina mastered her mind sword, she was getting closer to the essence of true illusion swordsmanship that even Phasma couldn’t reach.
“Miles!”
Milles, stuck in the ground, flies as if being sucked into Lichen’s grip.
“There would be no point in picking it up again.”
“You are arrogant!”
Tina kicked the ground while keeping an eye on the part where the demonic energy was concentrated in the bodies of Lichen and Miles.
Lichen, who was waiting for her to come to her, immediately brandished her sword.
“Devil Swordsman Type 3 [Evil Immediate Attack]!”
Tina stared at her oblique sword strike and swung her sword aiming at the loosest part of her magic.
“「Welcome to the Island」.”
She couldn’t stand her attack and Miles couldn’t stand it and was cut in half.
“Kieek—!”
“I told you. Meaningless.”
Tani’s mana penetrated inside of Miles. Interrupts the flow of demonic energy, making recovery impossible.
“What the hell are you guys…… !”
“Do you have a reason to explain to the demons who are about to die?”
Mana gathers in Tina’s sword. Lichen urgently creates her sword to defend. She was afraid that if she used Miles to block it, she would be cut off again.
However, Tina narrowly aims for exactly where Magi is lacking, slicing through her sword and armor and cutting through her body.
“Heuk!”
If Lichen hadn’t pulled her body out belatedly, she would have split her torso with this attack.
Staggering to balance, he injected demonic energy into Miles while holding onto his side.
“「All demons」!”
‘There are no gaps in Magi.’
As Lichen and Miles create a unity, the demonic energy that has thickened into the stomach absorbs the mana that hindered the flow.
Milles has returned to his original state. Lichen also recovered all her wounds on her body.
Lichen spewed out her vicious life that she had never seen before. It was to the extent that the knights who were pushing her demons looked back at Lichen in shock.
“I will go with all my might!”
“…… Insignificant.”
“Demon sword type 6 「Ghost sword」!”
“Retrograde.”
Kwakwakkwak!
The moment the two ends of creation collided with Miles, a huge explosion occurred in front of the two demons.
It was to return Lichen’s power as it was.
“Hey!”
Of course, Lichen, who was hit with her own power, sat down on her floor, letting go of her mind for a moment. Tina looked down at her and snorted.
‘Now I understand why her mentor told her to come after breaking through.’
Tina herself knew that if she hadn’t reached the state of mind sword, she wouldn’t have been able to fight like this.
She thought that she might not have been able to deal with her corps commander alone, because she knew that Lichen’s mana was no match for Prause’s mana.
‘You’re wise, too. Our master. That’s why I like it.’
“Me, don’t look down on me!”
Lichen grabs her Miles and runs towards Tina.
“What…… I thought she wouldn’t give up.”
Watching her swing her sword, she builds both sides of her creation.
“The sword flicking a while ago. Did you do this?”
Kang!
Follow Milles’ special skill, ‘equipment removal’. Lichen, who missed her sword again, was taken aback.
Strictly speaking, the technique Tina used was not equipment removal. Wherever she hits, she sees that Lichen will miss her sword, and she hits exactly.
“Then let’s finish this.”
“Who is going to end it on their own?!”
Lichen pushes her leg to pop her to the ground.
She took her chance, watching Tina lose her balance for a moment. She shouted again, catching the flying Miles and swinging it with all her might.
‘I’ll slash an area so large that she can’t even maintain her defenses!’
“Devil’s method of swordplay! “Devil annihilation”!”
Just as Lichen tried to wield her enormous magic in her Miles, Tina’s two ends first cut through the air.
“「Between All Things ‧ Yeoncham Island」.”
Lichen, who laughed at her light swing, finally threw her sword out. However.
“Uh, uh…… ?”
She couldn’t believe what came out of Lichen’s mouth.
Recognizing that there was something powerless in her body, he slowly lowered her head. And what he saw was his armor and body that had been slaughtered.
“What—!”
Koo-goo-gu!
All the trees in the forest where Lichen and Miles had their backs were cut down and fell helplessly.
Richen, who was scattered on the ground with a metal clap, laughed. She wanted to recover again, but at each cut in her mana was impeding the flow of her demonic energy, and she was unable to move.
“This is the power of a hero……. Great-“
“Noisy.”
Tina swung her sword and cut Lichen before she could finish her words. Soon after, her head was split and she died.
“There is nothing I want to hear from you. Because I want to run to the master right now.”
Finally, I stabbed the sword into Miles’ eyes and killed the rulers of the 2nd Legion.
With the death of the corps commander, the demons who were threatening the defense line began to slow down. Tina also looked at the demons who were trying to sneak away.
“Now is your chance! Kill all—”
“Everyone stay still.”
“What?!”
“Because I will kill all these demons.”
‘If I told you that I had slashed down the entire 2nd Corps by myself, my master would surely give me a hug and praise, right? Whoop whoop whoop…… ! Don’t miss this opportunity!’
“”Welcome to dance”.”
Tina laughed and ran towards her demons.
That’s how the unilateral slaughter of the 2nd Corps began.
And everyone who saw Tina laughing as she slaughtered her demons thought.
That must be crazy.

‘…… Is that Prause’s apprentice? No… Are you a warrior?’
Ekabel looked at the blond elf who suddenly appeared and set up a turquoise barrier and questioned. She was bewildered as she tucked her hands into her coat pocket as she effortlessly took her breath.
‘Rather than that, the color of the mana barrier is strange?’
In this world, mana was only blue. The turquoise barrier was something Ekabel had never seen in her entire life.
From noble mtl dot com
“Isn’t that it? That the original mana was turquoise?”
Maria spoke as if she had read Ekabel’s thoughts. She started condensing a vast amount of mana between her hands.
“Orient-sama, please.”
“Yes. Do not worry.”
With the amount of mana Maria had, she had no choice but to feel a great burden in realizing her transcendence magic, so she had no choice but to borrow her mana from the contracted Orient.
“I still remember the fact that you killed so many beastmen in the beastman forest.”
The amount of mana gushing out of her was not that different from Prause’s. It was a power that could come out because Orient’s mana was combined.
“Hold on well.”
She flew her black orb while alternately looking at her demons and Ekabel coming towards her.
‘A huge amount of mana. What the hell is this—’
“Transcendence Magic 「Black Hole」.”
As soon as the sphere flew to a certain distance and changed into a whirlpool, it began to absorb everything in the world.
“I have no intention of procrastinating. I will erase you all from this world.”
The breath pouring into the barrier and the demons approaching the defense line are dragged into the sphere without exception. The corpses scattered on the ground could not be dragged away thanks to the barrier.
“Awesome! What is this…… !”
Even the new deputy commander who ran at the head of the corps is sucked into the empty space without playing any role.
Ekabel hurriedly held her back, but she was dragged little by little in front of the mighty manpower.
“What! What!!”
The mouth widens and the air reverberates. As Ekabel further powers her breath, she breaks free from the black hole’s gravitational pull and disrupts her barrier.
Damn it!
“…… Powerful.”
Maria looked at Ekabel and was genuinely impressed.
To withstand the black hole’s gravitational force, or to break the ninth-tier barrier with a breath.
“As expected, I am not complacent. The corps commander level.”
Spread her palm in the direction of Cavell, still floating in the air.
“But I’ll be fine now. It must have consumed a lot of magic.”
At the same time as mana was concentrated in Maria’s palm, the staff she was holding shone and resonated.
“Transcendence Magic 「Compression Barrier」.”
Compression barrier.
It was a technique that kept everything inside the barrier until it was broken.
“What is this!!”
A turquoise barrier swallows Leviathan’s huge body. The breath no longer reached Maria’s barrier.
Thump! Thud!
While exhaling his breath, he uses his tentacles and torso to hit the barrier, but it doesn’t shake.
“Damn it! What is this!”
Maria lifted her barrier and flew towards Ekabel. She closed her hands as she faced Ekabel in the air.
“Experience how painful crushing is, like the people who died from the breath you exhaled.”
“f*ck! I am…… !”
I tried to resist by shouting urgently at the gradually narrowing barrier, but Ecabel’s Magiro was unable to break the barrier Maria had set up.
Puduk pudeuk.
The sound of a huge body being crushed.
In a hurry, Ekabel shouted Polymorph and changed into a human form, but the barrier accelerated and narrowed as if he had waited for it.
“Kyaaagh!”
In the end, she sees the completely crushed E Cavell with a heartbreak and cancels her magic cast. She even annihilated her corpse by burning Ekabel as she plummeted to the ground.
“…… Phew. Is it almost over Would it be all right if I go see Master now?”
Maria let out a sigh of relief, then staggered back with a momentary dizziness.
“As expected, transcendence magic is indispensable without Orient-sama’s assistance.”
“I had a hard time.”
Feeling that she has run out of mana after casting two spells, she slowly heads towards Kia.
“Old man, are you alive?”
Maria, squatting in front of her gray-haired grandfather, put her finger under her nose.
“Old man, are you dead?”
“…… Oh he didn’t die That’s rude, really.”
Logia, who came to her senses belatedly, grumbled.
“Really? I’m glad.”
“All of them are cheeky… ….”
“It’s okay to be a little cocky if you’re strong. Because without me, the old man would have exploded to death like those people.”
Saying that, Maria injected her mana into Kia’s body and healed it.
“I am treating her body. It’s a problem that she used up all her mana, but her flow got messed up because the mana flowed backwards. It’s probably impossible for her to live as a wizard.”
“Something like that…… She knew from the time she vomited blood.”
Logia said with a bitter smile.
“Still, didn’t you protect many people?”
“Yes. I think that is admirable.”
“…… Now I’m not happy to hear it from a kid who is only 15 years old.”
“Hey! Then don’t brag.”
Maria snorted at her and scolded her.

Even though it was an overwhelming inferiority, the threat of the demons heading towards the empire gradually began to subside as the three legions fell.
And the demon king, who was unaware of it, struck down the armrest of the throne. One side of the throne was completely shattered.
“Useless bastards!”
The preparations for war were perfect.
The corps were far more aggressive than those created by the first-generation demon kings, and their fighting power was at a level that could not be ignored.
Even so, I couldn’t help but burst into anger as the warriors started to kill me one by one.
In addition, as the demon king’s memories of the past were engraved through the causal consumption of the World Tree, he came to understand to some extent what the World Tree had done up until now.
“…… Was the World Tree, this bastard, regressing?”
He had lived for hundreds of years and had never been moved by anything because his emotions had dried up, but now he was so angry that he couldn’t make a rational decision.
“You made a big mistake. World tree. As long as you gave me memories, you won’t be able to return.”
His fists are clenched and he talks to himself trembling.
“…… Good night. I will kill all the warriors, your trump card, and make sure that you can never return.”
The demon king murmured as he glared at the human world through the window.
“I am here. Warriors. Unless you kill me, this war will not end.”
