Jonber wins (7)
Chris, who struggled to straighten his posture, took a half-step away from the demon king and groped for the pocket on his waist.
A vial filled with red liquid was lifted from the shield-equipped left hand.
It is a recovery medicine prepared by Illesis for Chris, who does not benefit from divine power.
He blows off the cork with a snap of his thumb, then raises his hand as if to gulp the contents.
Thanks to the magic sword, he escaped death instantly, but his bones and muscles were still damaged.
In particular, the muscles of the lower half of the body, which were not protected by the shield, were severely injured, so it was difficult to step on them.
Wary of his recovery, the demon king left before the medicine bottle even reached Chris’ mouth.
Perhaps because of his impatience and worry, his attacks are very rough and crude.
‘One day one sword.’
Chris, who used the Sword Demon’s buff, dropped the vial he was holding and countered her attack.
In fact, the previous recovery attempt itself was a trick.
If you want to win a number fight against a wizard with a lot of cards in your hand, you have to engage in psychological warfare like this.
The shield knight’s strength he learned is strong defense and subsequent counters.
Surprised by the counterattack of conversion, the demon king uses a defense spell, and the demonic sword in Chris’ hand glows viciously.
The guy who tasted the demon king’s blood seemed more excited than ever.
However, there was no such thing as twisting Chris’ sword at will.
Unlike when he was buried in the sword grave for hundreds of years, he is not on the verge of starvation now. The demonic sword, which had been accompanied by a new owner and already had a significant amount of blood, automatically increased its strength whenever Chris’ sword strike was applied, helping to groom the prey.
‘Half-moon strike, shield strike, snake’s teeth, sonic thrust!’
The skills he had been training so far burst out without a break and pushed the demon king, who was in a hurry to defend.
Although he felt terrible pain from forcing his half-shattered body to move, Chris gritted his teeth and continued the offensive.
If the person who is assisted by the magic sword suffers so much, the opponent will suffer even more.
Although he had been using various spells to extend his life, the Demon King is now in a state that is no different from a living corpse.
In a surprise attack by Chris, whom he thought was dead, more than 30% of his blood was robbed and his upper body was mercilessly hacked to pieces. Even that was not enough, so the thorns created by Illesis’ spell gave pressure that would crush the whole body, and it was becoming stronger and stronger.
Wounds that a normal person would have died ten times more.
However, the Demon King did not fall down even after suffering so much.
Before long, a powerful shock wave exploded from her body, unable to withstand Chris’ attack.
“Ugh!”
Chris, who was thrown backwards, hurriedly corrected his posture and gritted his teeth, but rather, her damage was more severe.
The body of the demon king, who was still anxious, could not withstand the shock just before and began to break.
The right leg, which had become a mop due to the sword king’s attack, was compressed as if it were being sucked into a thorn tree.
“Ahhh… Krrr!”
The incontinence, which was vaguely visible even before the battle began, extends to the whole body of the demon king.
Thanks to that, her whole body became like a broken porcelain.
Chris mercilessly threw his sword at those terrible wounds.
Victory, which seemed infinitely far away, came close to him.
However, the demon king fired the shock wave spell from before and forcibly removed Chris.
He lifted his right arm and swung the staff, where unknown powders were falling in torrents, and soon completed the spell with all his might.
When Chris heard her brother’s words, a chill went down his spine.
“Trial of the Sun God!”
“no!”
Chris’s sword charged belatedly and pierced the demon king’s chest, but it was already too late.
A ball of fire ejected from her staff instantly dyes the sky red.
The beast wearing Elgar’s skin gave up even its own survival instinct and committed suicide.
At the same time as the half-shattered body collapses powerlessly, sparks start to rain from the sky.
The three remaining on the desolate rocky mountain looked at each other and looked for a way to survive.
However, neither Illesis nor Tyrone could afford it. The Sword King, Singer King, and Kwon King have already fled far away, so they won’t be able to help right away.
If I had any power left to block such a spell, I would have used it long ago.
After defeating the demon lord, the status window is actively displaying something, but I can’t see anything helpful right now.
“I’ve defeated the demon king, but what is this?”
Tyrone uttered a broken voice and dropped the phoenix’s demon bow to the ground.
Illesis, who had finally lifted the spell, gritted her teeth, but she didn’t even have the strength to wield her staff.
Three devastated people were staring blankly at the flames that were getting closer moment by moment.
The familiar sound of hooves approached quickly from afar.
“Hee hee hee!”
“You, you… … .”
The ghost horse, which had been waiting outside the battle area so far, approached them at full speed.
The guy stopped in front of Chris and looked down at Elgar’s corpse with sad eyes.
But that’s for a while. He quickly regains his courage and urges Chris and his party.
“Purrule!”
“I thought you wouldn’t come, even though no one else knows.”
Chris, who expressed his overly candid sentiment, pushed Illesis up onto the saddle.
Before long, the guy carrying the three people kicked the ground as soon as the passengers made up their minds.
Speed enough to make the red rain water look slow. Terrible inertia and headwinds afflicted the three of them.
How many seconds did it last?
In the distance, outside the range of the spell, at the camp where Chris and his party stayed last night, you can see the singer stomping his feet.
The distance that just felt far away was reduced to the point where a whisper could be reached in the blink of an eye.
“What, what kind of guy speaks so fast? Anyway well done! Did you defeat the Demon King?”
“Or how did we escape?”
When Chris responded in a slightly angry voice, the king’s expression brightened only then.
The Sword King, who was leaning against the stump of a large tree, let out a small sigh as he watched the soft balls of fire.
* * *
A hill a short distance from the campsite.
The survivors of the team that had been in charge of the disruption earlier peeked at Chris and his party with a very embarrassed expression.
Originally composed of members of various nationalities, only members from the Breton Empire remained.
They recall the Prime Minister’s secret order and exchange opinions.
“Nonsense! Did you really defeat the Demon King without anyone dying?”
“I retreated much earlier than planned because the red dragon flew in earlier… I must have miscalculated.”
“Let’s go into exile in another country. If we go back like this, the Prime Minister will not leave us alone.”
When one of the players in the Disruption Team suggested it with a timid expression, the others snorted.
“Even if you say exile, where will you go? Don’t you remember what we did a moment ago?”
The clothing and equipment of the survivors were stained with fresh blood.
It is not their own blood, as there are no major wounds.
But it’s hard to see it as the blood of the enemy, Elgar’s undead don’t shed blood.
The source of the bloodstains was the members of the Disturbing Team who were with them.
Players from Breton tried to destroy the Demon King and the challengers according to the Prime Minister’s orders.
In order to retreat far ahead of schedule and leave no witnesses, foreign helpers had to be left alive.
Betrayal while dealing with the demon king is tantamount to treason against all mankind.
No, there is no need to go all the way to humanity.
Even if other people don’t know, veterans like Sword King and Singer will never forgive them.
Even if they defected to the enemies of the Breton Empire, where would they stretch their feet and sleep comfortably?
As long as they live, they cannot be comfortable.
The traitors who reminded themselves of it once again showed the courage of the fathers.
The man who previously disputed the asylum plan proposes on behalf of everyone.
“It is best to attack now. Look at that, do you see the sword king of the world resting against a tree? Those guys, they used up all their strength dealing with the demon king earlier.”
Certainly, as he said, those who sat down at the camp seemed too lazy to even lift a finger.
On the other hand, the traitors in this position are still active.
If the two groups fight right now, it’s obvious which one will win.
But no matter how tired and wounded, a beast is a beast.
And when catching a beast, even seasoned hunters must be prepared for death.
Twenty or so traitors hesitated to make a decision as they watched the five who were almost all dying.
However, the conflict did not last long.
If they attacked now, at most it would end in the death of a few people, but if they left this spot, everyone would surely die.
this world is small
You can’t live while turning the Prime Minister, the King of Singers, and the King of Swords into enemies.
“I-I will do it. If I dragged my time for no reason, I’d be at a more and more disadvantaged… … .”
“If not now, when will you slash the Six Kings?”
“If the six kings are defeated, the prime minister will not be able to treat us carelessly.
Encouraged by crowd psychology, the traitors quickly agreed to his words.
Those who had gathered in a circle turned clockwise and expressed their intentions, and soon the turn of the last man came.
The moment everyone was waiting for his answer.
Dark red blood gushed out of his mouth as he tried to express his approval.
“Kuhh! uh huh?”
An unseen lump of metal protruded from the chest, which had been fine until a moment ago.
Before they could properly perceive the situation, an intangible aura blocked the space around them like a prison.
It was a cube-shaped arena that Chris had experienced before when he fought the head maid.
While the traitors screamed meaninglessly. Gearrick, who had stabbed one of them, sighed and drew his sword.
“The Bretons still revel in poor ploys. Forgive the unchivalrous ambush. I don’t think there’s any need to be polite to traitors… … .”
“Lord, Death Knight! And the handmaiden of death!”
“Why are those guys who didn’t even show their faces when the demon lord was alive all of a sudden… … .”
The traitors who found Gearrick inside the arena and the Maiden outside hurriedly rearranged their formations, shouting as if they were very unfair.
However, before they could move to their seats, Gearic’s sword swept through the area.
A longsword that sprays vicious cold freezes players’ wounds, preventing them from regenerating.
In the blink of an eye, Gearic, who cut down dozens of people, rushed to the rest of the traitors.
Even if the body suffers from a lack of magical power, it was not difficult to defeat the players who lost their senses with a surprise attack.
After completing the simple task, the maid who canceled the arena spell approached him.
With one wave of her hand, the ghastly corpses sink into the ground.
Gearrick, who brushed off the frozen blood, asked without turning his head.
“Are you sure the signal is broken?”
“That’s right. In a little while, the owner will open his eyes too. They did a lot better than expected.”
The maid who was looking down at the camp at the bottom of the hill praised a human very rarely.
Gearrick turned around with a smile as if he had seen a valuable spectacle.
Then she confirms with a slightly surprised voice.
“wait a minute. Can I leave them alone? I don’t know about Kris or Illesis, but the Sword King could be a problem later… … .”
“If you go out right now, people’s attention will gather. It’s him, as always, I can stop him.”
“If Gearick says so.”
When the chief of Elgar’s knights spoke confidently, the head maid also nodded.
Gearrick told her, turning toward the sword’s grave.
“The mission is over. Now let’s go see the master.”
“yes!”
The lady-in-waiting responded in a bright voice and followed Gearic with light steps.
Only silence hung over the hill where the happiest undead in the world had stayed.
