A spear of thick magical power passed through Ethan.
It was a dangerous moment.
However, instead of being frightened, Ethan was excited and enjoying the battle to the fullest.
“Who would be struck by a spear of such a curse?”
Ethan laughed at Martin.
Martin’s attack was straightforward.
Of course, it was a much better skill compared to the subordinates who died helplessly.
However, he was not able to compete with Edan, who was the protagonist of the fierce battle called the Anti-Magic War.
“Don’t make fun of your mouth!”
“Are you telling the truth?”
“Shut up!”
Enraged, Martin poured dark magic on Ethan one after another.
But none of them touched Ethan.
He was using dark magic in the right place according to the situation at close range, medium range, and long distance.
On the contrary, it became a form of exposing his own weaknesses.
‘Foolish bastard. If it had been a hundred years ago, I would have been beheaded right away.’
Ethan gave a bitter evaluation.
Martin’s attack was the norm.
However, being standard in battle was a big weakness.
It was because those who were familiar with the Dark Wizard could easily read the pattern.
In fact, there were many cases like this in the Anti-Magic Wars as well.
Even if the difference in magical talent was large, they were cases where they killed their opponents through experience on the battlefield.
Above all else, Ethan was a master of dark magic.
A skill like Martin was considered a joke of a child.
‘It’s more terrifying to attack ignorantly like that Blake guy.’
Ethan recalled the memories he had with Blake.
He had little experience in close combat, so it was natural.
“Big!”
“I will give my life!”
“You must deviate from the divine power as much as possible and become a sacrifice! Hurry!”
The underground waterway has become a mess.
There was no place where the wind of brilliance that Ethan had spread in all directions did not reach.
It was okay to face death as it is, but the value as a sacrifice had to be reduced.
The winds of brilliance will intervene between the dark magic circle and the corpse.
And when Martin didn’t hit Ethan with a valid attack, the brutality of the hand followed.
Pot!
Ethan’s hand broke the dark follower’s neck.
The people they could reach, the dark followers, met a tragic death.
I couldn’t be distracted even for a moment.
The dark followers struggled to escape from Ethan and die.
Each time Ethan closed the gap with his dark followers.
They didn’t even give them a chance to die.
That fact came as despair to the Dark Followers.
“Hey, this is a massacre.”
murmured one of the dark followers.
It was as he said.
What Ethan committed was a massacre.
It was also a way to completely break the will of the opponent.
I couldn’t see him as a priest at all.
And that was Ethan’s true face.
He was called the demon king’s henchman during the Anti-Magic War, and he was the fear of the Allied Kingdom Army.
Ethan didn’t use all of his abilities.
But victory or defeat had already been decided.
* * *
‘Is that a priest?’
Martin swallowed the blood from his mouth.
His body was shaken by the impact he hit against the wall.
The internal organs were screaming for stability.
It was one of the worst situations a wizard could face.
He tried to subdue the baseline with dark magic, but to his surprise, the opponent was reading Martin’s attacks.
‘Are you familiar with dark magic? Who the hell can do that in this day and age?’
Martin’s eyes twinkled.
I couldn’t comprehend the thoughts that came to me unconsciously.
Even if that priest was a paladin whose identity was hidden, he could not be so used to dark magic.
It was a sense of battle that only paladins or priests who were ignorant of dark magic in the Anti-Magic Wars could show.
The dark followers of the point organization had never been exposed to the outside world enough to create such an enemy.
So Martin’s question was natural.
The enemy was unbelievably good at fighting dark magic.
As if reading one number ahead.
‘It can’t be like this!’
Martin knew it was time to make a decision.
At this rate, it was just playing on the enemy’s palm.
A bright red eye gleamed with life.
“Ahhh!”
Martin unleashed magical energy along with the accumulated anger.
At the same time, he cast a dark magic by mobilizing all his magical powers.
thorns of erosion.
It was the most powerful of all the dark magic Martin knew.
* * *
Belium, the capital of the empire.
From the wall of the underground waterway there, sharp thorns formed of stone soared.
“aah!”
“Ugh!”
The thorns that soared from all directions pierced everything.
The Dark Followers were no exception.
Because I couldn’t tell which Pia was going.
The dark followers who somehow tried to escape the divine power and become living sacrifices died at once.
There were no living dark followers.
Only Ethan and Martin survived by smashing out the thorns with their own magic.
“Are you still alive?”
Martin looked at Ethan with bloodshed.
He felt pain as if his whole body was being crushed by excessive dark magic.
On the other hand, Ethan still looked relaxed.
“I would be able to die comfortably, but you dare to put yourself in pain.”
At Ethan’s words, Martin gritted his teeth and glared at him.
“I will definitely kill you. And I will make your existence known to my blood relatives.”
“consanguinity?”
One of Ethan’s eyebrows rose.
It was because he sensed an unusual energy from the word ‘blood’ he heard for the first time.
Ethan’s reaction as if he didn’t know about ‘blood’ made Martin proud.
“Have you ever believed in that brilliant divine power and ran wild? You should have killed me when you had the chance! Even though I was treated like half of it, I also inherited the blood of my blood!”
Martin wiped the blood from his lips.
He was glaring at Ethan with ferocious eyes, activating the sea of the abyss with his other blood-soaked hand.
Ethan asked again calmly.
“Ask again. What is a kin?”
“There’s no reason for me to tell someone who is going to die soon anyway.”
“I need to fix my burjang hair.”
Ethan’s expression hardened at Martin’s groan.
Originally, Ethan had only intended to prevent the Abyssal Sea from being activated.
‘But I changed my mind.’
Even by torturing Martin, he had to figure out what kinship was.
sting.
That was then.
Although incomplete, the sea of the abyss was activated.
An ominous light filled the floor, and he could feel the divine power in Ethan’s body being forcibly suppressed.
“Are you surprised? This is the greatness of dark magic!”
Martin smiled cheekily as the sea of the abyss was activated.
He looked arrogant, as if victory had been decided.
“I’ll play with you slowly and kill you like a puppet toy.”
Martin’s confidence was not unfounded.
The plan to activate the Sea of the Abyss was as if it had been thoroughly crushed by Ethan.
Because dark magic, which has been interfered with by divine power, can only produce less than half the effect.
However, Martin allowed the sea of abyss to be activated only in the space where he and Ethan would fight.
In other words, in the end, only Ethan had to be killed.
The proud essence of dark magic, the hated foe who hath ruined the seas of the abyss and killed his loyal comrades!
“How are you? Can you still feel the blessings of your proud god? Isn’t your handsome god no longer giving you any power?!”
Martin walked slowly to Ethan.
No more divine power came out of Ethan’s hand.
The wind of brilliance that had swept the surroundings had disappeared in an instant.
It was proof that the divine power was being completely suppressed.
“I won’t kill you right away. I will make you feel as cruel as possible and then die.”
Martin reached out, thinking about grabbing Ethan’s entire head.
That was then.
widely!
Ethan’s hand grabbed Martin’s arm.
“… … ?”
Martin made a puzzled face.
It was strange.
There was an ominous feeling that something was wrong.
His arms were firmly fortified with magical powers.
However, he was caught in the arms of a weak priest who had no divine power.
Fragile Priest’s Arm?
No, this was almost equivalent to the strength of a monster’s arm.
“Why is the priest’s little arm so ignorant… … !”
Martin couldn’t finish what he was about to say.
It was because at that moment, Ethan was knocked down to the floor.
“Gagging!”
Ethan kicked Martin’s back as he hit the floor and bounced up.
levee!
“aah!”
Martin’s back was smashed.
It was a futile result for a body that was strengthened with magical power.
‘What the hell is this?’
Martin was unaware of what had happened to me.
I couldn’t understand.
The opponent would be nothing more than a weak priest who could not use divine power.
Because the sea of abyss was working properly.
However, he, who was strengthening his body with magic, was pushed out of his power.
It could never have happened.
“dare!”
Martin squeezed the magical energy from his body and cast my final dark magic.
It was the lowest level of magic that I felt was not even worth learning.
However, it would be fatal for ordinary people without divine power or mana.
Small black bullets generated in the air were fired at Ethan.
‘die!’
Martin was staring at Ethan in the pain of breaking his back.
It was to watch the priest fall out screaming under the dark magic.
‘You cheeky little bastard. I will laugh at the tragic end.’
Although he was humiliated by a priest who had no divine power, he would eventually die.
So Martin decided not to dwell on being humiliated.
That was then.
bang!
“ね, what is it?”
It was a small shot, but it was enough to pierce a helpless priest.
However, something different happened than expected.
A small bullet went off and smoke spread.
“What else happened?”
Martin shuddered.
Again, something incomprehensible happened.
As if the ominousness wasn’t wrong, Ethan walked out of the smoke.
bum bum.
His footsteps were quite leisurely.
Martin’s eyes widened at the unbelievable sight.
A bright black flame was rising from Ethan’s hand.
“That, that, that… … !”
Martin’s voice trembled.
I couldn’t put into words what came to my mind.
Then Ethan opened his mouth as if he had realized the thought.
“Why do you want to ask me if I have magical powers?”
Martin didn’t respond.
Ethan grabbed Martin’s head and lifted him whole.
“Ahhh!”
The head and neck supported all the weight of the body.
Martin screamed.
But Ethan didn’t even blink his eyes and just said what he had to say.
“Make deals that will help each other.”
It was a one-sided message from a cruel winner.
“Instead of what you call kin, I will speak of this magic. What do you think?”
Hearing and speaking were free.
However, it was a one-sided deal, as someone would be killed.
Saying that, Ethan’s eyes flashed with death and madness.
It was the true form of Edan, who gained notoriety on the continent as the henchman of the Demon King in the Anti-Magic War.
