166. lair of monsters
The world’s heaviest staff moves. It wasn’t just about weight.
With just one swing of his cane, the scenery around him changed, so that responsibility had to be followed.
Like raindrops falling on a painting drawn with paint, everything in front of you begins to blur.
I immediately cut off Ares’ restraints with my sword and raised him up.
“Hold me straight!”
The strong grip of the sword puts a lot of power into it. The two nodded their heads while grabbing the hem of my clothes while being embarrassed.
Soon after, the pressure like a strong waterfall pouring down in the sway of space.
“Keep, ugh!”
I felt my eyesight turn red as if my veins were bursting. Nevertheless, it gives strength to both hands and endures with both legs like a deeply rooted old tree.
The feeling of being crushed all over my body had been felt once before, but it was an experience I never wanted to do again. Finally did it again.
What’s better than before is that he wasn’t seriously injured while attacking the Demon Realm Forest, and he was young.
I don’t know how much time has passed, but I’ve persevered anyway. In the middle, Ares used his powers, adding a little bit of strength.
He barely endured the shaking of his knees with a strong breath through the sword he had inserted into the floor.
His eyes turned red and he could tell that it was blood, not sweat, running down his forehead.
“Uhhhh!”
The sound of pathetic breathing that comes out of nowhere. Still, there was no time to rest. Because this was just the beginning.
Watching Sharqal bluntly continue to swing his staff, he gritted his teeth with determination.
If you continue to give the flow here, you will be defeated. Perhaps it was because he was pushing too hard, the floor of the banquet hall he was stepping on dented, and he felt his muscles twist as if they were swirling.
Thanks to that, the wind split as it was, and I was able to hit forward. It was so fast that Rin and Ares screamed in surprise from behind.
Suddenly, an old idea came to mind.
It was like that when I first met Sharqal. Because I was overwhelmingly pushed from the range, I tried to get close to him after getting hit by the first blow, but at the time, my legs were creaking from the impact and my strength was not working properly.
But now it’s different.
Because I too have grown enough physically. He is not a Sherpa who has lived in the forest of the Demon Realm and suffered numerous injuries.
Because he was a student at the academy nestled in the conservatory.
Cheeng!
My sword intervenes in the trajectory of the staff.
Inside Sharqal’s skull, his silver eyes flickered in surprise.
“I won’t let you wield it carelessly!”
“It is very interesting.”
Wands are usually used by wizards as a tool to increase their magic efficiency or to gather mana.
It was absolutely not that you couldn’t use magic without a wand, but it was bound to fall in its sophistication, casting speed, and power.
However, the case of Sharqal was different.
He can’t use magic without a wand.
It was twisted to simply define Sharqal’s power as mana, and it was too bizarre to dismiss it as magic.
Due to his extremely violent nature of magic, if he uses magic without a wand, he will be consumed by its power and power.
In a word, using magic without a wand was tantamount to committing suicide.
In conclusion, all you have to do is block Sharkal’s Staff.
That’s because it’s really incredibly difficult.
It is considered virtually impossible unless it is a surprise attack.
I was able to close the distance like this thanks to being in the banquet hall in the first place, otherwise I would have been beaten several more times.
Fortunately, Sharqal was not the type to fight with all his might when he was recognized as an unmanned soldier like Coolika.
Because he was strong, he ignored the weak as much. That was the only breakthrough for me to beat Sharqal right now.
‘Kill in one blow!’
If you don’t kill here, there’s absolutely no next time. He swung his sword and tried to cut off Sharqal’s staff itself.
sh*t.
A creepy sound echoed from the fingertips.
This was an opportunity.
A chance that will never come again in the past and present life.
For me, who could only deal with a small amount of mana and had to fight only with physical strength, the chance to kill Sharqal was a hundred battles, and I thought I might only have one.
and in that opportunity.
Miracle raised the hand of the wizard who lives in the forest of the demon realm.
Cracks begin to go where the cane touches. And the sword was so helpless, it shattered as if it hadn’t been there in the first place.
‘I already took too much damage from the first blow!’
The sword his sister gave him as a gift was well worth it. Considering how much I’ve used it, there’s no such thing as a great sword for the price.
However, it has reached its limit.
He worked so hard to sharpen his sword and managed it thoroughly.
While resisting the first Sharkal’s blow, the sword reached its limit and broke.
‘I was too focused on Sharkal!’
In an excited conviction that he could defeat an existence that was nothing more than a climax, he could not properly grasp the state of the weapon along with a sober thought.
The obstacle blocking the cane disappeared. Sharkal swung his staff without any hesitation.
“……!”
An invisible shimmer came over me. He is the one who handles warping. It was mana, but something not mana.
“Gagging!”
The body is pushed back and floats. Two people running towards me who fell to the floor in such a disgraceful way.
“Daniel!”
Rin was half-crying, trying to use healing magic on me.
“Oh, magic?”
You won’t feel any mana at all.
Rin waved her hand several times, but there was no mana in this space. No, there was mana, but I don’t know if I can call it mana.
And this is it, he is the master of warping.
Kulika’s treasure. This was the reason why he couldn’t defeat him even if he had Arianne’s flower, which ate all the mana.
Because Sharkal’s mana was immune to Arianne’s flower.
The power to reverse the nature of all mana around you. I don’t know if it’s a talent, a skill acquired over the centuries, or a product of hard work.
In any case, he had the power to rule over all wizards just by being there.
“My, I’ll try.”
Ares reached out from the opposite side of Rin, who was waving her hands in fear and vigorously trying to gather mana.
The Helios patterns on the backs of his hands radiated light and slowly began to seep into me.
If the treatment with mana felt like cold ice to relieve swelling, it literally feels like a soft wrap with warm warmth.
In addition, his healing power was much better, so he was able to wake up right away.
“Daniel!”
“f*ck, it worked!”
Rin hugs me and Ares complains of a headache next to me. It seemed to me that it was a technique that I was not sure about.
I wanted to say thank you, but I immediately pushed them back and got back into position.
I thought that if a magician like Sharqal had been given this much time, the magic that could not be described as violent would soon sway.
Sharqal, who naturally thought he would be wielding his staff right away, was unexpectedly sitting on his throne, looking down at me.
A situation so absurd. what the hell was going on
“How did you know?”
Sharkal asked me seriously.
“Did you say Daniel? You knew I couldn’t use magic unless I wielded my staff.”
“……”
“That’s why I tried too hard to close the distance with me and blocked the cane. If your sword had been a little less worn, it would have been the main seat lying here.”
back.
Unknowingly, I clenched my fist.
To the extent that he said that, he meant that I had come very close to victory.
He again shook his head bitterly. with an unanswered sigh.
“A victory won by relying solely on a miracle from God. It means nothing.”
Sharqal hates the weak and never shows mercy to the victor. That’s why I had to be extremely cold-hearted when it came to winning and losing. A conclusion was drawn from him.
He judged that he was the loser in the battle he just had.
“However, I will ask you one thing. Why do you know that I can’t use magic unless I use my staff? No one knows about this except for me.”
“……”
“Can’t you answer me?”
“If you recognize me as the winner, I will exercise that right.”
As if he liked the answer, Sharqal smiled and nodded vigorously.
“Ah, good! The winner has the right to do whatever he wants.”
I calmed myself down and looked at Rin, who was quietly glaring at me as if she was about to kill Sharkal at any moment.
How did Kulika know about Sharkal’s secret?
To know that he used magic without using a staff, he had to watch Sharkal ‘die’.
Actually I saw that.
The image of him trying to get along with the disaster that engulfed the continent as he blown away a third of the forest of the demon realm.
Sharkal from his previous life died at the earliest end.
Even in a blow that risked his life, the disaster, wearing full body armor, walked out as if he had not suffered any damage.
“I will ask you one more thing.”
“It’s expensive to eat, that’s good.”
Perhaps because it was a fight with a strong man after a long time, Sharkal seemed to be in a good mood. The guy who was usually so gloomy is more lively than I thought.
‘Is it because I felt threatened to die?’
To be able to die means to be alive.
Perhaps the survival instinct, which had been worn out for a long time, was awakened and treated him a little more humanely.
“Why are you in Nirva? And what the hell is this?”
“Hmm?”
The moment Sharcal was about to say something by tapping the floor with his staff.
Aww!
A huge explosion sounded harshly.
Half of the mansion split apart, and a huge rock that flew like a meteor completely crushed the place where Sharqal was.
He wouldn’t die to that extent, but there was no time to worry about him now.
The life force spewing out from the outside was pouring down on us more menacingly than the flying rocks.
A werewolf with a black mane running in a straight line through the streets of Nirva, visible through the cracks in the mansion split in half.
It even gave an optical illusion that the surrounding space was shimmering at such a speed that even I could not keep up.
“……Kulika?”
Emperor Coolika who lives in the forest of the demon realm.
He appeared in Nirva.
