Chapter 75 – Rich
[I put up monsters as sentries so they don’t get in the way of work. There’s no way I could have escaped those eyes…]
Darkness encroaching on instinct.
Through the pitch-black darkness that does not allow even a single point of light, bright red eyes shine.
【Could it be that I just died from a strange vibration? But didn’t you feel the magic wave? And I don’t see a magician of a higher rank who can use that level of magic…]
Saaa…!
Darker than darkness, black magic rises.
It spread in all directions as if encroaching on space.
Cold sweat trickled down Alex’s cheeks.
The members of the Royal Knights also looked at the existence in front of them with nervous expressions.
There was a distinct expression of bewilderment on their faces.
However, Ruben’s soldiers, including Xi’an, were a little different.
I was raising the tension to the max.
Unlike the members of the Royal Knights, he did not show any emotion of bewilderment.
once sometime
Because it was an energy that I had encountered before.
Pride, greed, envy, anger, lust, gluttony, sloth.
The Seven Sins.
The seven demons awakened from their sins.
Nurbia, the demon of indolence that invaded Ruben.
It resembled that terrible evil.
Xian focused his mind.
Druri looked straight at the existence in front of her eyes in the darkness.
And I quickly realized.
Compared to Nurbia, it is infinitely weak.
Compared to Nurbia, the malice that blooms is pitiful.
That’s why ‘that’ wasn’t the 7 demon lords.
However, even if it is shabby, there is a clear malice.
devil.
It is also evil born while denying the death that existence deserves to accept.
Lich.
That being was none other than the Lich.
‘Why is the devil here…?’
Sian had a question involuntarily.
gaze.
Alex and the Royal Knights didn’t seem to have the idea that the lich was a demon.
demons a thousand years ago.
Disappeared by 6 Arnaises.
Of course, Xian knew that the demons were resurrected, but they weren’t.
That said, he wouldn’t be unaware of the malice he felt right now.
He probably thought of the lich as a demon, not a demon.
The remnants of demons that disappeared a thousand years ago, the Demon Tribe.
They have maintained their existence even today, when the demons are gone.
And that terrible strength was telling us what kind of demon in mythology was.
however.
“How could there be demons in this place other than the Dark Forest…?”
Alex exclaimed in bewilderment.
That’s because the demons couldn’t come out of the dark forest.
The moment you come out of the dark forest.
Its existence is denied.
However, this is where Xian is now.
This was the Kusla Mountains located in the western part of the Empire.
I don’t know if it’s a dark forest.
Richie may or may not have been here.
“But how on earth…?”
Alex and the Royal Knights came up with a question.
【You know the truth you shouldn’t know.】
creepy!
The hairs all over the body stand on bristle from the hideous living.
Darker than darkness burst out of the body of the lich.
It slowly began to rise like a thick black mist.
saaa
The energy of death spread and stained the earth black.
Everything around me began to dry and twist.
Kee Ee eh ─!
Hell’s cry spreads long.
darkness that blooms thickly.
Numerous monsters protruded through the darkness that engulfed the space.
from end to end of sight.
The number of monsters that dare not even be counted has fallen over the mountains.
Maybe.
The monsters rampant in the western part of the empire seemed to have been summoned by that lich.
Lich is an undead wizard who handles black magic at a high level.
One of Lich’s specialties was summoning magic.
However, there was one oddity.
The monsters summoned by the lich had to be undead like the lich.
However, the monsters summoned by the lich were not undead.
a living, breathing being.
“Kiehehehehe—!”
The roar of the terrible monsters echoed across the mountains like an echo.
Like a black wave, a group of monsters attacked.
There were many questions, but Xian shook his head.
questions later.
“Everyone line up!”
“All the knights are equipped with swords!”
Xian and Alex shouted at the same time.
At the same time, Ruben’s soldiers lined up.
Each of the Royal Knights raised their swords.
At the same time, the black waves rushing over them.
and.
Kwajijik!
Perseok!
Terrible destructive sounds erupted here and there.
The hideous black waves came incessantly.
However, Ruben’s soldiers and Royal Knights were firmly holding on without being swept away by the waves.
Ruben’s soldiers battled with the monsters, and the monsters were at their best.
And the Royal Knights were all experts or higher.
Even though the number of summoned monsters is endless.
It was difficult to break through this formidable barrier.
Perseok!
Awesome!
“Key, keyieek…!”
The pouring monsters were swept away like autumn leaves.
【······ They weren’t ordinary rats.】
A voice filled with malice came.
Richie stretched out his hands in front of him.
The terrifying power of darkness wrapped around his hand tore through space.
Before long, a huge sphere of darkness was created in front of the lich.
Dark magic emanates from the body of the lich.
Right then.
“Where!”
Wow!
An explosion erupted and the darkness dissipated.
What was visible through the darkness that scattered in an instant was none other than Alex, the leader of the Royal Knights.
The vivid Auror Sword swaying around Alex’s sword.
Expert is the highest level.
A high-ranking person who is about to become a master, Alex.
Alex severed the dark orb created by the lich.
Alex swung his sword at the lich without hesitation.
however.
【I’m urging my own command.】
Saaagh…!
The cry of hell spreads out for a long time.
A magical fog darker than darkness engulfs the space.
A terrible black magic that interferes with the soul and turns the heart into a handful of ashes.
All beings touched by this mist will be shattered.
“Keep it off…!”
Alex let out a moan of pain.
The aura at the tip of the sword shook violently, as if representing Alex’s condition.
Even though he is an expert of the highest level.
It was not easy to resist this terrible darkness based on the mind.
“It’s so…!”
My throat was tight and I couldn’t breathe.
My face went pale blue and my mind blinked and blinked.
Nevertheless, Alex grabbed the sword and swung it at the lich.
Evil—!
A veil of darkness engulfed Alex’s sword.
The aura of blue light was consumed by the darkness and was fading as if it would soon go out.
【Because the plan of the monarchs is not far away.】
Richie’s bony bone turned to Alex.
That moment.
Whoops!
A roar erupted from one side of the room.
The jet-black fog dissipated and the path opened.
The overcoming darkness dissipates in an instant.
It collapsed the structure and flow of power and created a huge gap.
tadak.
A shadow soars between them.
Xian twisted his body greatly and swung the sword he was holding.
【There was one more rat that hastened my life.】
Richie waved his other hand.
The jet-black darkness that followed engulfs the space.
The darkness interfering with the soul engulfed Xian’s entire body.
but.
Kwaaang!
An SS grade sword rips through the space of darkness.
【·······!】
Richie’s red eyes shimmered widely.
Xian, who created a gap, digs in.
Xian’s body was fired at Richie.
The lich did not avoid it and opened a thick curtain of darkness.
Kwaaang!!
The atmosphere vibrated violently with a huge explosion.
The exchange of karate that takes place in an instant.
A single mistake leads to an obvious death.
Blasphemy!
A huge crack was carved in the curtain of darkness.
It spread in all directions like a spider’s web.
Soon after, Chaeng-Geurang!
The veil of darkness shattered.
【What is this…!】
Richie shouted in bewilderment.
Xian’s sword surges through the shattering veil.
A jet-black aura that shimmers at the tip of an SS-grade sword.
At the end of it was a lich with red eyes.
Wedge liquid!
A piercing sound broke through the air.
And unfortunately.
There was no sensation of being caught on the tip of the hand.
The appearance of the lich suddenly disappeared.
Xian turned his head towards the place where he felt the energy.
Then not too far away.
The lich revealed itself through the darkness.
Short-distance space jump magic, Blink.
It seemed that the lich had completed the magic just before the blow hit.
【Keep…!】
However, perhaps because it was cast in a hurry, the condition of the lich did not look very good.
Sian went over to Alex and checked his condition.
“Are you okay?”
“It’s okay…!”
Alex furrowed his brows and nodded.
Although he was hit directly by the darkness of the lich, Alex is an expert at the highest level.
Above all, thanks to Xian’s timely intervention, there was no major damage.
“You’re more than that…”
Alex looked at Xian with trembling eyes.
Cyan’s movement just now.
It was because he wasn’t the Xian Elandur that Alex knew.
It was Xian, known as Dunjae of the world.
Where do you look at that?
【You bastard…!】
A voice shook with malice was heard.
Where I looked, Richie was looking this way with shimmering red eyes.
【How can you…!】
Richie couldn’t hide his embarrassment now.
That’s what it’s like, that stupid human bastard.
The darkness was scattered by that human blow.
He’s a weak and insignificant human being.
He somehow dissipated the darkness he had created.
Richie calmly looked around.
“Forward in ranks! Make sure no one leaks out!”
“aaa!”
Kwajik!
Perseok!
The monsters he summoned were being swept away.
Everything should have been over by now.
I had to hold on to the necks of two people who were hastening their deaths.
The humans over there shouldn’t have been eaten by the demons and had no form left.
But that wasn’t the case.
Despite the overwhelming difference, I couldn’t help those people.
this can never happen
【I’ll kill everyone.】
Richie spread his hands wide open.
Saaa…!
Darker than darkness, black magic rises.
It spread in all directions as if encroaching on space.
Richie murmured as if chanting.
【Forgotten Souls… Disappearing Ashes…】
A gnawing hunger is revealed.
Darkness itself becomes fear and eats away at the mind.
Something that gnaws at the corner of the mind.
A meaningless effort that lasts forever.
Flash.
【And the dying hope.】
Whoaaagh!
“Quaaagh!”
“aaa!!!”
In an instant, a terrible scream erupted between the Knights of the Royal Knights and the soldiers of Ruben.
A fear that eats away at the mind.
I didn’t even know what hit me.
That’s why I couldn’t even resist.
“Cheuk…!”
Alex also coughed up blood as if he couldn’t bear the darkness.
The blood thus flowed seeped into the ground, nourishing the evil within.
Kee Ee eh ─!
The roar of the monsters echoed throughout the mountains.
A pitch-black wave crashes over the Royal Knights and soldiers.
【It’s over.】
Richie’s red eyes flashed.
Right then.
“Everyone, wake up!!”
Crossing the darkness, Xian’s cry broke out.
and at the same time.
《Charlotte’s pride sinks!》
《The soldiers of the Territory resist the darkness that eats away our minds!》
Whoaaagh!
A bright beam of light burst out and drove away the darkness that was pushing in at once.
For an instant, the minds of Ruben’s soldiers flashed back.
And the demons pouring in front of my eyes.
“Retreat in ranks!”
“Protect the knights!”
Kwajik!
Perseok!
Ruben’s soldiers finally protected the Royal Knights from the attacking monsters.
【gibberish!】
Richie involuntarily shouted.
Humans who resisted their own darkness.
Because I couldn’t believe the sight at all.
Darkness based on evil.
Abnormal beings consumed by this darkness should have been eaten by darkness.
Even more so, if the target was a weak human, there was nothing to say.
Richie’s head turned slowly.
At the end of that line of sight, Xian stood holding a jet-black sword.
That human bastard who scattered his own darkness.
For some reason, that guy wasn’t even engulfed in darkness from the beginning.
【How the hell…】
Kwak!
A huge hole was carved in the pitch-black darkness.
In the meantime, Xian rushed.
Richie felt a chill run down his spine.
A body with only bones remaining.
Ironically, Richie could feel that feeling.
Saaa…!
Darkness erupted again through Richie’s whole body.
The darkness had a murderous intent and was viciously distorted.
Sian swung his sword through the darkness.
Kwak!
Xian’s attacks rushed incessantly.
Evil—!
The darkness of the lich covers the space.
Kagagagak!
breathing stops,
Kwak!
The slightest mistake leads to sure death, and you get attacked and do it again.
and at the end.
Wow!
【Cool…!】
It was Richie who was pushed back.
Xian finally cut off all the chains of darkness created by the lich.
“Bah, what just happened…!”
“My, I am now…!”
The members of the Royal Knights, escaping from the encroaching darkness, shouted.
“Heo-euk…! Heo-eok…!”
Likewise, Alex, freed from the encroaching darkness, let out a rough breath.
Soon after, the right sight.
Kwajik!
Perseok!
There, with Ruben’s soldiers fighting against a horde of monsters pouring in.
Kwak Kwak!
It showed the appearance of Xian fighting against Lich.
“What the…!”
“Nonsense···!”
The eyes of the Royal Knights, including Alex, widened and opened.
That’s just what it is.
Because I personally felt how strong that lich was.
Unbelievable strength for a demon tribe.
So it was impossible to resist that evil.
However, Ruben’s soldiers resisted the darkness and blocked the monsters.
Even Xian was constantly putting pressure on Lich.
Kwakjik!
Xian’s sword tore through the darkness.
The darkness that hung with him disappears.
【How can this happen…!】
Richie’s red eyes shook greatly.
also.
Again the darkness dissipated.
Richie couldn’t understand the situation.
A strange power that dissipates the darkness.
It wasn’t even just a matter of scattering.
more fundamental than that.
It was as if that human ruled over the darkness.
Because of that, it was impossible to properly attack or defend.
Xian’s level itself was not very high.
It’s infinitely shabby compared to the human being eaten by the darkness over there.
But neither attack nor defense works.
I didn’t dare to do anything.
I mean, how is this even possible?
Darkness was not a force that mere humans could handle.
First of all, it was impossible for Richie himself.
It deals with darkness, but domination is a different dimension.
That was something even the 7 demon lords couldn’t do.
Kwaaang!
But that man was dominating the darkness.
Wedge!
Xian’s sword surged in front of his eyes.
can’t respond to this
Lich hurriedly waved his hand and cast Blink magic.
In an instant, Lich’s new form disappeared in an instant.
Xian’s sword cutting through the air again.
Xian’s eyes lit up.
Blink is a space jump magic.
Depending on the level of the casting wizard, the speed and distance of the leap vary greatly.
But one thing.
Waves of magical power are always created in the space in which it leaps.
It cannot be eliminated by any level of wizard.
Even for Elodie, this is impossible.
Xian focused his mind.
My nerves are on edge at the surge of demonic energy.
and one side of the space.
I felt a small wave of magic power.
Xian turned around.
Suddenly, the sound of muscles breaking is heard.
It was a terrible pain, but I endured it, biting my teeth.
A stream of red blood flowed around Xian’s mouth.
but endure
life boils over
Richie’s appearance is revealed in front of his eyes.
Xian swung the SS grade sword with all his might.
a thousand years ago.
Kyle was called the nightmare of demons.
It contains the description of the sword of Mahonsura.
Its simple yet monstrous power tears space apart.
A demon swaying between Xian’s swords.
【This, what this…!】
Richie’s eyes were stained with bewilderment.
A huge blow that comes over.
I can’t avoid this…!
Kwajijik!
Richie’s thoughts snapped and cut off.
“…!”
“…!”
Silence between moments.
Whoops.
The bones that make up the lich collapsed to the floor.
