Episode 213 – Leon’s Anguish
Cracking. Crack.
A collapsed mountain. Dry, burning grass and trees. A lake that evaporated. Destroyed city.
If someone who doesn’t know this place sees this place, they will only think that it is a destroyed world.
A total of 13 breaths.
This was the aftermath it created.
The fight against the nightmare affected the surroundings and turned this place into a land of death.
As a result, we finally succeeded in pushing Nightmare onto the battlefield… Suddenly a thought occurred to me.
‘How do I kill him now?’
When I think about it, the most powerful technique among my skills is Dina Breath, and this bastard is still fine even after being hit with it 13 times.
No, it wasn’t fine, but it was still healthy.
So even if I pushed him this far, there’s no way to kill him.
‘But if we made it this far, other people wouldn’t get caught up in the fight.’
I am not lacking in stamina yet.
This is the way to kill. If I keep beating, won’t the answer come out?
In that case, there was only one problem. Leon disappeared immediately after the nightmare revealed itself.
Considering that he was one of the Four Heavenly Kings, who were said to be stronger than nightmares, he couldn’t be relieved that he had simply disappeared.
Even if we manage to deal with the nightmare, what will we do if Leon descends in his true form?
Although it is said that he is constantly growing by obtaining Halo, it is not enough to single-handedly defeat two of the Four Heavenly Kings in a row.
Also, what if it attacks my friends while I’m dealing with the nightmare?
Now, those kids are far worse than me, so I should protect them….
Kugugu Palace─….
The nightmare once again stirs countless blood vessels.
Those blood vessels were stuck in the ground like iron bars, and as the entire body began to spin like a top, the blood vessels stuck in the ground ground all the surrounding earth.
Quagwaaa─.
The dust rising like crazy turns even the sky yellow.
There’s no way I would have thought that I would be coughing because of something like this, and it seems like they were trying to block my view.
‘You’re smart.’
If it were other people, they really wouldn’t have been able to see even an inch ahead.
Yes, if it were other people.
I am different. To be precise, things changed after Halo was created.
Now my senses are not limited to those I feel directly with my body. The place where I exist, all the nature in that area, is my sense of magic.
This means that you will not be harmed just by raising dust.
However, Nightmare does not know that fact yet, so this can be said to be an opportunity for a counterattack.
What kind of attack should I use to get the word out that I caught Nightmare off-guard?
In a split second, my brain began to spin like crazy and squeeze out thoughts. No, more accurately, the halo rotated instead of the brain.
Thanks to this, we were able to derive a much larger number of cases than usual.
‘It’s not like I can kill him with this single blow anyway.’
In that case, just use the most efficient attack.
A powerful attack with a long preparation time that is difficult to hit unless you are caught off guard like now.
That’s exactly──.
“It’s Dina Breath again!”
However, the Dina Breath contains much more power than before.
The breath used to push Nightmare this far was much stronger than before.
This game is on a different level.
Originally, the power of breath varies greatly depending on how long the magic power is collected.
From now on, I will gather all my magic power and launch the super extra-large General Emperor Ultra Celestial Child’s Exclusive Dina Breath! That’s what I’m saying… !
Of course, Nightmare can’t sit still all this time.
So, a disruption operation is necessary. If your vision is obscured by dust, it’s more like a nightmare, so it’s probably easier.
Just as if I turn off the power of Halo, I will only be able to see Nightmare’s silhouette beyond the dust, Nightmare will also only be able to see my current silhouette beyond the dust.
If so, they will definitely try to attack that shadow.
And I have a very useful skill.
‘Shadow Control!’
If I use shadow control to make my shadow pretend to be me, the nightmare will target my shadow.
Of course, just because it’s a nightmare doesn’t mean it’s an idiot who can’t even detect the other person’s magic, so various preparations are made to properly disrupt it.
First, I inject some of my magic into the shadows to make them feel more real, and to keep them at arm’s length and make it easier for nightmares to fool them.
‘And while Nightmare is targeting the shadow, I fire the extra-large General Emperor Ultra Celestial Heavenly Child Exclusive Dinabreath at Nightmare!
If this goes through as an orthodoxy, the victory will definitely come to me.

‘Damn….’
Leon, who was hiding himself, groaned.
The reasons were varied.
‘That’s annoying….’
Nightmare seemed to think that Leon was exploiting him, but the reality was different.
In the first place, Leon was being manipulated by Tiga as he pleased!
I brought the nightmare with me because it was unfair to be left alone. In my heart, I wanted to go back to the demon world right away and get some sweet rest.
Has this been working outside for several days already?
I had enough time to watch the Four Heavenly Kings, but I couldn’t understand why they were rolling around on the spot.
But what can we do? If your boss criticizes you, you should criticize him.
Just because the title is the same does not mean they are of the same level. Isn’t Tiga 600 years older than Leon?
At that point, even if the title is the same, it is not the same.
There is such a difference in age in the first place, and even if Tiga was not the Four Heavenly Kings, ‘Oh, yes, old man. I am in a situation where I have to say hello politely and say, ‘How are you?’
“Keuuu… “Nightmare, why does that bastard work so hard and make such a fuss?”
Yes. I’ll be honest.
Leon was a terrible adult!
A person who is moderately excited when a task is given to him, but then finishes it and returns to play.
He is not a conscientious adult who works overtime by taking on tasks that he never has to do… !
In that sense, the back of his neck felt like he was seeing a nightmare where he was doing things he didn’t have to do.
What? Don’t you think it’s a good thing that Nightmare is working hard for you?
You’re welcome. Nightmare is Leon’s junior. Therefore, as a senior, Leon has the responsibility to take care of things when Nightmare causes an accident.
And now the nightmare was causing a huge accident.
That needlessly huge body was revealed! And here, not in the Demon World!
Those were all things I had to take care of.
“Haaa… ….”
I sigh.
But the problem does not end here. There is another serious problem.
‘Why on earth is that coming out here?’
That thing floating above the head of a guy named Han Si-woo.
The color is purple, not starlight, and it’s a bit subtle, but… Isn’t it definitely ‘it’?
Divine.
That is something that has been passed down orally in the demon world as if it were a legend, but it suddenly popped up in this generation.
And because the residents of the Demon World were the enemies of the hero party blessed by the stars.
Rather, they knew the strength of divinity better than humans.
Of course it has to be that way. Because they are the ones who have lived there and been beaten directly.
No matter how much the first hero party is a thing of the past, and how many generations have changed in the meantime, the same is true.
The demons of the older generation all told us about the fear and horror of the divine.
It may not happen, but he even told us the rules of conduct on what to do if we met.
Even so, it is not something that parents ask their children to do, but it is almost like brainwashing through compulsory education.
So what should I do if we meet?
『”Why don’t you run away?”』
Just run away. There is no answer other than that.
Well, how many times was the Four Heavenly Kings replaced by the first warrior party who possessed divinity?
If a normal demon encounters you, there is no answer other than running away.
Likewise, when the Four Heavenly Kings face a divinity, he has no answer other than to run away.

Or trample on the divinity that was just beginning to be born.
However, a big problem arises here.
Hey, there’s a flower on top of my head… Hey, who is the guy wearing the halo?
This generation’s Holy Knight is favored by the Demon King and is being watched by Tiga, a 600-year-old senior.
The only way to kill him in advance was now, but these circumstances overlapped and led to hesitation in killing him.
However, while Leon was groaning like this, the junior guy called Nightmare was fighting like a madman, even unleashing his true form.
“aaah!”
Leon was going crazy and jumping around.
Should I kill for the future of the demon world? Or should I keep it alive for the Demon King?
Leon was forced to come here, and he was saddened by the fact that he had to immediately decide the future of the Demon World, or his own future.
If you save Han Si-woo, the demon world will die.
If Han Si-woo was killed, there was a high chance that Leon would be killed by the Demon King and Tiga.
Leon groaned for a while as he watched Han Si-woo and Nightmare fight, but then he smiled brightly.
‘Yes! ‘No matter what happens, let’s leave it all to Nightmare!’
He suddenly felt like going to the bathroom, so he left the room, but in the meantime, a nightmare occurred.
That is how history will remember it.
If Nightmare saves Han Si-woo, Nightmare will become a traitor who killed the Demon World, and if Nightmare kills Han Si-woo, he will receive the Demon King’s wrath instead of Leon.
Leon liked the conclusion he had reached, so he just smiled.
