175 – People around me are too strong
#One
Purpur.
A demon with large horns on the head of a deer.
A great demon with an eye that handles lightning and sees through secrets.
Estimated level mid 60s.
Manus alone was a demon that was difficult to deal with.
[Who called me here?]
“Ah, I am the lowly servant Arona. Purpur, the demon who governs lightning, love, and secrets. I ask you to destroy the enemy in front of you and fulfill the contract.”
The masked person said calmly.
The voice must have been altered, it was a very unpleasant voice.
Perhaps feeling the spirit of the contractor, Purpur rolled his red eyes and nodded.
[I will fulfill the contract.]
“Thank you. Then I’m busy so stop… … .”
A situation that cannot be prevented from disappearing.
Wei drew a sword with a small admiration.
Kenine also raised mana.
The remaining ones confronted each other with their weapons, perhaps trying to help the devil.
Manus recalled information about Purpur.
Then he told the two of them.
Among his early patterns, there was something memorable.
“Both of you, step back for a moment.”
“yes?”
“It will take a while.”
At Manus’ words, the two stepped back for a moment.
Then, the first pattern of Purpur appeared.
What the gigantic grip violently grabbed was the human beings around.
It is natural to be embarrassed when the devil’s hand, which he thought was on his side, suffocated his whole body.
Before he could say anything, Purpur’s mouth opened wide and swallowed the human body.
Woojijik-.
It wasn’t even terrible.
I couldn’t even hear the screams, so it took me quite a while to recognize.
“What, what is it?”
“Why us-!”
“Look, we are on the same side! They are your enemies!”
[Know.]
Purpur’s hand moved again.
This time, it was a human from the other church.
Woo support!
The sound of flesh being chewed resonated vividly.
A clean bite that doesn’t even shed blood.
Purpur eats humans to gain mana and stamina.
Thanks to that, he was quite popular among users.
I made sure to take one or two of the hordes of enemies that came along.
“Did this guy try to bring down Caesar?”
“That’s right, an unreasonable person has appeared. Is it because we interrupted at the right time? Confucius?”
Manus nodded at Wei’s question.
Originally, a higher level demon would have appeared.
If it was Purpur, even Aden was enough to deal with.
However, on the premise that you know the gimmick.
Manus opened his mouth.
The way to deal with that guy was simple, but it was something I always had to think about.
He is a demon who lies.
To go against his patterns was to do everything in reverse.
“Listen carefully from now on. If he tries to attack, we attack too. If he tries to defend, we defend too. Do you understand?”
“I don’t know why, but I will follow your order.”
“Aden, you can attack freely.”
“Yes, Gongja.”
Slowly in the darkness, a shadow emerged.
What emerges from the inside is the faithful shadow of Manus and the strongest blade.
She wielded two daggers and performed tricks.
I’ve never used a sword against a non-human other than assassinating orcs and ogres.
But her eyes searched the devil’s body for weaknesses.
As long as you have joints and muscles, weaknesses exist in all living things.
Assassins don’t need fairness.
The corners of her mouth, covered by the mask, moved slightly.
“Then, let’s go.”
“Goes.”
Paji Jiji-!
A magic circle appeared.
You don’t have to admit it here.
From the beginning, I thought to pour strong magic.
triple cast.
Having a lot of magic that could be used at once was a great advantage.
I was able to sprinkle various strengthening magics on the magic completed with Cadenza.
It was like adding wings to the already excellent Cadenza in terms of efficiency.
[Double Spread]
[Parum] – [Damno]
[Adoleo]
A pure white angel descended.
[Adoleo], which was also the magic that defeated Oriath here before.
There was nothing better than the divine attribute to deal with the devil, so this time I thought to punish the evil by descending an angel.
Although it is a 4 class, various corrections were added to the nesting magic.
It must have been more powerful than Class 5, but not as powerful as Class 6.
It is possible that the ruins that were barely restored will collapse again.
I didn’t pay attention to such trifles.
Manus has only one mission.
It was to send the demon in front of me back to the demon realm.
[You are full of energy! Have you summoned the alter ego of an angel! hahahahaha!]
Lightning ricocheted from Purpur’s whole body to rip off its wings.
The cry of an angel with torn wings has a special taste.
It was one of the demons’ favorite torturers.
In the old days, in the war between angels and demons, countless angels died just like that.
It will be the same this time.
An angel who is only a counterfeit cannot defeat himself.
Purpur believed so.
The power itself actually felt was quite insignificant.
“I’ll put you down so that even your alter ego can’t win.”
However, Manus still had one spell left.
I didn’t prepare for an occasion like this, but it’s useful anyway, right?
[Altus] The time has come to use a spell that has the same effect as the third spell.
The magic circle drew a picture in the air and breathed mysterious and enormous power into the angel.
[Yugosus]
“oh… … this… … .”
“What are you doing? take care of it quickly Secretary Nari.”
“Oh, okay. Then, let’s go!”
Wei’s short sword that glows in the dark with the light of an angel.
As she hit the ground, it became a ray of light.
The light danced through the darkness like fireflies freely roaming the night sky.
[Oh oh oh-!]
In the meantime, the angel who received the power of [Yugosus] drove the devil away.
Quaaa!
A dazzling light along with light waves enveloped the space.
At the same time, someone pulled Manus’ body backwards.
“You have to be careful. Confucius.”
The light and sound faded, and there was black smoke where Manus had been.
Purpuru is injured, but it seems that there is no discomfort in movement.
As expected, it seemed like he had a stamina correction because he came out as a mid-boss.
‘At this level, even a watchman would have to lose half of his blood.’
No matter how difficult the sub-quest is in the game, isn’t the stamina inflated too much?
Manus prepared to blow the distance while arranging the seething mana.
The one who led him back was Aden.
Her calm eyes softened.
Arden’s first priority is to protect Confucius.
Purpur, who attacked Manus, became a target to be eliminated.
I was going to prioritize protecting it, but I changed my mind.
“I will punish the cheeky devil.”
“Please. Leave the defense to Kenain.”
“It is.”
shruck-.
A shadow rose as she moved.
The shadow extended like tentacles and bound the demon’s limbs.
Aden moved to aim for the vital point with thick darkness.
[Insignificant humans!]
Woodeuk-.
Purpur’s strength was beyond imagination.
Since they were different creatures from birth, they quickly tried to release what the Master had bound them to.
However, bondage is just a way for Aden to buy time to go back.
The real thing was different.
“Look here, you stupid devil!”
A loud cry rang out.
Kenain showed the classic battle of the guardian.
Dragging aggro, enduring enemy attacks, and giving allies time to deal.
Perhaps Guillermo would have admired it if he had seen it.
[Notatio]
One of the Guardian’s basic skills, Taunt.
A skill that causes a designated target to attack you and reduces damage received from the target by 30%.
Since it was a skill learned at exactly level 50, it was very useful.
Kenain drew Purpur’s attention and induced the other three to attack comfortably.
“Now!”
[Triple Spread]
[Ignis] – [Tempesto] – [Parum]
Triple casting, which I’m quite used to now.
The three magics were once again combined with divine magic.
A fierce storm was added to the roaring flames.
The power of an angel was placed on a spear of flame twisted into a spiral.
gurrr
A long spear blazing with white flame was caught in Manus’ hand.
Meanwhile, Wei and Aden began to slaughter the demons.
What the two have in common is speed and aiming for vital spots.
The upper body was cut by Aden and the lower body by Wei.
[Geoeoeoeo-! These cheeky bastards!]
Kwajijijijik-!
A pattern used to contain melee attacks.
Purpur’s body glowed white and kept Arden and Wei in check.
[Discharge]
Arden hid in the shadows to evade the attack, and Wei, who was roaming like light, fell behind Kenine in an instant.
At the same time, Manus threw down his spear.
[Divinus Asta]
A magic in which a human borrows an angel’s weapon to directly intercept the enemy, rather than an angel fighting directly.
The holy spear of flame flew away.
The spear fired in a straight line hit the middle of Purpur’s forehead.
An exquisite attack aimed at the gap where the posture was broken by the attack of others.
A column of white flame rising upward blew away the stuffy air of the ruins.
Sand and stones in the desert pouring rainwater.
A ray of light streamed through the ceiling.
“Awesome!”
“It is not over yet. keep an eye on it.”
[Cheerreuk… … .]
“I will finish.”
Aden, who came out of the shadows unscathed, swung his arm.
A clear aura was formed on the blade, and the blade, which could cut diamonds like a radish, passed by the devil’s arm.
Blood poured out.
Like water pouring from a sprinkler, the huge arm fell with the sound of wind escaping.
The devil’s screams splattered like blood, and Aden swung his sword using the screams as BGM.
ham. elbow. Ankle. shoulder. trapezius muscle and erector spinae muscle. two eyes. and neck.
The appearance of Furpur was similar to that of a human, and the structure of its body movement was also similar.
That’s why Aden swung his sword without hesitation.
The altar covered in blood had changed like its original purpose.
“Whoa-.”
“… … He said he was suddenly incorporated into the shadows, so his skills are no joke.”
“The most reliable shadow.”
Manus smiled.
The devil, Purpur, could not resist properly and died in pieces.
If he had come with the idiot, he would have had to struggle quite a bit.
It was a completely different atmosphere from when I was with him about a month ago.
Maybe, these are some of her real skills.
Even if he had been doped with holy water and nails, he would never have been able to win.
If the choice at that time had been even a little wrong, it would have been impossible to even stand here like this.
[You have cleared the sub quest.]
[Now, thwart the ambitions of the count family.]
[Rewards will be paid after the war.]
Certainly, those around him were too strong.
