167. destruction and redemption
Demon King.
After the presence descended on the battlefield, the Confederacy did not dare to act first.
Standing on top of the magi full of heaven and earth, the small female body quietly raised her white left hand, which did not hold the sword.
However, before her arm fully stretched forward, blue sparks flew from her body, startling the demon king.
The face beyond the thin veil frowned slightly, and Do-yoon, who confirmed this, made a difference in his eyes.
But that’s for a while. The Demon King stretched out his left hand again.
Goo goo goo…
The sky and the earth cried and cried, and the demonic energy of the world concentrated on the tips of her thin fingers.
The black energy formed by a single dot was infinitely compressed as if there was no limit to its density.
The king who reigns at the pinnacle of ten thousand demons.
At the same time as she gave the order of the bigamy to Magi who was ready to go out.
[Break it down.]
Doyoon shouted convulsively at the Lion King.
“Stop-!!”
The Lion King suddenly stretched out both hands at the voice, and the demons exploded explosively as they received the order to go out.
Quaa-
Black beams thicker than the ice wedges of Oz shot towards the walls.
The battlefield where Oz froze, where the second and third acts of the war unfolded. The wide and thin hardened scaffolding on top of the lava disappeared completely in an instant.
Its momentum was such that no one on this battlefield, except for Enoch, had dared to experience it in their lifetime.
It was an overwhelming force that was enough to bring despair and destroy everything in front of it.
Only the Lion King faced it head-on, gathering and pouring the recovered mana as much as possible.
“Well-!!”
[Fire Spirit Art: Elemental Unity (精靈合一) – Afrison]
A huge hot wind blew up, and the intense heat drove away the darkness of the area, albeit for a moment.
The upper body of a flame giant appeared in front of him, even bigger than when he blocked Oz’s wedge. It stretched out both large palms in the same way as the Lion King.
Soon, the giant’s red palm collided with the black beam.
Come on -!!
The entire castle wall was shaken by a huge shock, and the generals collapsed, unable to control themselves. Their screams and shouts were momentarily drowned out by the intense roar.
“Well…!”
Black blood poured out of the Lion King’s mouth and nose in an instant.
The black beam was blocked by the flame giant’s palm and split into several branches.
The split beam shook the area in a mess, despite its greatly reduced power. The entire lava sea here and there evaporated, and a part of the heavenly extreme large wall that had stood firm for decades collapsed like a sand castle.
However, the wall in the middle where Doyun, the warriors, and others were still intact. Even with the continuous beam of light, the Lion King did not lower his hand.
The Lion King with transcendent stats of level 10 magic. His strength was that he could stand up to the demon king’s blow, even for a moment.
However, to put it another way, even the 10th level man could only withstand the demon lord’s blow for a moment.
The arm of the colossus that blocked the beam gradually disappeared from the hand to the wrist and elbow. The new model of the giant waved like a candle in front of a typhoon. Naturally, the ray went further and further forward.
Veins clearly sprouted all over the Lion King’s body. The blood vessels in his hands and arms burst, and blood gushed out onto his skin. His outstretched arms trembled like an earthquake.
Eyeballs that were bulging as if they were going to burst were bloody tears and red bloodshot, and black blood poured out of the nose and mouth as if a dam had been opened.
“—–”
He opened his mouth and vomited blood, shouting with all his might, but no one on the battlefield could hear his screams, buried in the shockwave.
Although the Lion King had already reached the limit of his abilities, the ‘will’ to protect the union was leading him beyond the limit, even for a moment.
Soon, when the shoulders and face of the flame giant disappeared, the beam stopped.
Lightning flashed from the black sky at the collision of the two huge boulders, and the sea of lava that was dug here and there roared wildly to fill it up. The sound of the thick walls collapsing could be heard in the distance.
Kwak!
Koo Goo Goo…
The Lion King fell to one knee. Even in front of the people, he could not stand still.
“Lungs, Your Majesty!”
“healer! healer!”
The generals hurriedly checked his condition.
“Cuck!”
Clots of blood poured out of his trembling mouth.
I can’t see my eyes and the whole world is red. The blood collected in the head did not come out, giving a feeling of expansiveness, and only the taste and aroma of blood filled the mouth and nose. The sensory organs of the whole body were clearly accepting only blood and pain.
Before the demon king descended, the warriors gathered on the wall supported him with the help of Sophie.
With just one blow, the Lion King completely retired.
“…”
Doyoon looked at this, suddenly turned his head and looked forward. he braced himself
A huge human figure appeared in front of the demon king.
Shush!
[Hecleus’s formula – Shunbo]
King Seong, who threw his right fist behind him, arrived alone in front of the demon king.
With tendons sprouting from his chin, he threw a fist full of power at the small female body in front of him, but at the gigantic destruction.
[Hecleus’s style of martial arts – Regime]
The coalition’s first fist stretched out quickly, leaving no gap for the air in front of its path to escape. Like a meteor falling from the sky, the air on the surface of the fist is compressed and heated red.
A power that crushed even air and sound rushed toward destruction.
However, the bone-white sword held in the demon king’s right hand.
It suddenly pointed forward and pierced the center of the fist with unearthly accuracy.
[Buske’s style of swordsmanship – counter-attack]
Wow-!
The center of the fist and the tip of the sword met precisely, and a radial shockwave spread vertically through the outstretched arm and the sword body.
The lava field hit by the shock wave soared high like a giant wall.
Seongwang who got the recoil of the attack back in full. His wrists, elbows and shoulders were completely crushed with a ghastly sound.
Poududeuk!
“…!”
However, the reason why he opened his eyes in surprise wasn’t the pain in his arms or the fact that his fists were clogged.
The demon king’s swordsmanship right in front of his eyes.
‘this is…!’
It was the swordsmanship of Sword Emperor Busker, which Enoch showed off in the battle with the corps commander.
Doyoon also confirmed this and raised his eyes.
However, they were not given time to think.
The demon king’s sword was already moving for the next attack, as naturally as flowing water.
A bone-white sword was swung horizontally, and even in the midst of surprise, King Seong threw his chest back to avoid it.
However, Do Yun-man recognized the identity of the technology and shouted at King Seong.
“The real thing is Sero!”
[Războinic’s style of swordsmanship – cutting a child]
A technique that can only be developed through the trick of local acceleration control.
The sword moved in an improbable path and descended toward the holy king’s head.
King Seong had no choice but to be fooled by the perfection of his swordsmanship. Even he, the second-in-command of the coalition, could not pierce the great hero’s swordsmanship, which was unfolded with full output.
Unaware of the attack, he belatedly escaped to the side at Do-yoon’s warning, but in the end he had no choice but to give up his flesh.
squeak-
“…!”
The king’s right arm was cut off.
Even on subsequent hits, he was slower than the Demon King.
A black aura formed on the demon king’s left hand. It is clearly a different kind of energy from demonic energy.
Exactly, it was defeat.
[Hecleus’s style of martial arts – Regime]
A force that could not be believed to have belonged to a small and delicate girl burst into the Holy King’s stomach.
The sound of the king’s new model flying beyond the speed of sound hitting the wall was heard first, followed by the sound of a fist being thrust into him.
aang-!
Float-!
Before the sound could be heard, the king’s body was already stuck in the middle of the castle wall with a great vibration.
“Ahhh…”
“…”
No one dared to go downstairs to pursue the King. It only evoked despairing moans.
The two strongest members of the alliance, the Lion King and the Holy King. Both of them retired in an instant.
The power to resist the demon lord was gone, and the walls of the castle were already in tatters.
Everyone felt despair throughout their bodies.
The fact that I forgot about the excitement of overcoming the corps commanders for a while. A very self-evident proposition from a very long time ago.
The Union cannot defeat the Demon King’s Army. The coalition recalled that fact.
The peace that came for a while 100 years ago… It was a miracle that was possible thanks to the ‘salvation’ of that ridiculous being, the Demon King, as well as the ‘destruction’ of that ridiculous being, the hero.
But there was no longer salvation in union. Salvation disappeared 100 years ago.
There is only such a clear destruction in front of my eyes.
“…”
“…”
The black sky, the dry wind that smelled of ash and dust, and the unusual contrast of light and shade were still clear.
They were silent, overwhelmed by the approaching fate.
However, there was something they forgot about for a while in the sudden development.
A clue to salvation revealed in this battlefield.
Tuck, Tuck.
Apostle Han Do-yoon.
He walked forward, past the bowed generals, the kneeling Lion King, and the warriors watching over him.
“Whoa…”
Doyoon let out a shallow exhalation.
In war, ‘symbol’ is very important. Because there is a corps commander in the enemy army, there are now warriors as opponents to him.
And in the end, the demon king went to the battlefield.
Now, the union needed a symbol to oppose the demon lord.
‘Now… if I go, the fun is really over.’
It’s time to go back to where he was.
The generals looked at him in wonder, and the eyes of some of the warriors who knew his identity moved along with him.
‘Enoch…?’
Standing at the end of the wall, Doyoon touched the ground with his sword.
There is no longer an apostle Han Do-yoon in the union.
As always 100 years ago, he declared with his back facing everyone’s eyes.
“From this moment.”
Enoch Roosevolnik.
“I command the coalition.”
His eyes were colored golden.
