Episode 273
71. Flowers of Tears, Seeds of Laughter (4)
The flames of Laverantia burn the demons. A cursed weapon that devours magic, divine power, and mana.
In front of that fire, no matter how strong the demons were, they could not easily stand.
At the same time, a divine spear is shot at the head of the giant ogre who was approaching while collapsing the buildings.
The ogre’s head, which rose like an explosion, was destroyed in an instant.
A huge body thumps and falls to the floor without a pulse.
Weapon Stream.
Aidan Christopher, who had entered the battle awakening, was literally slaughtering a huge army of demons.
Even among the professors and students, they were the best and most elite troops.
The overwhelming power to easily bury even their activities.
“Oh My God… … .”
Even the 4th grade, magic swordsman Bernax Holland, who was steadily cutting down demons at the forefront, could not help but admire the appearance.
Heir to the hero he once admired.
Just a few months ago, he was a warrior who could not even use proper swordsmanship.
It was so strong that he wondered if he would be able to win even if he fought with all his might.
Of course, it wasn’t just the students who were overwhelmed by Aidan Christopher’s strength.
‘He’s a hero… … !!’
Irkan Bradamante, the dean of the Arthur Faculty, who led the students and professors at the forefront, felt the same way.
In the air, powerful magic and arrows intercept distant enemies.
From the front, he wields swords, spears, and axes from legends and tales to block the waves of magic waves with his single body.
Even calling it a one-man corps is not insufficient.
Aidan’s struggle gave powerful courage to all the warriors who were ready to die.
“No need to go to Central Terrier!! We can stop it here too!!”
“Everyone, switch to the offensive!”
“charge!!”
It has reached the point of pushing back the amount of monsters that were rushing in with a terrifying force.
In a situation far beyond expectations, Gaelum, the leader of the Liberation Front, had no choice but to panic.
bang!
It is not enough that the interceptors deployed in the sky over Nakwon Island are constantly spitting fire.
Even though the troops of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd waves landed, they couldn’t even break through the first line of defense.
In the end, it was the Liberation Front that changed first.
“Make the landing all at once. Attack Cassis, Cerberus, and Ariados in every direction and crush all those damn humans!”
“I’ll tell you that, that, that.”
At the voice of Gaelum, who was very angry, the experienced officers prepared to go out all at once.
Junchi is still Junchi even if it rots.
Was the role of the Hero Academy still valid?
“I will bring despair to them myself.”
At that time, along with the three generations of executives, even the feet of giants and Gaelum were about to head to the battlefield.
“… … ?”
Gaylum was overcome with a strange feeling.
It’s not just Gayroom. Demons are creatures that are originally made of demons. Just as humans return to dust when they die, demons return to their demons when they die.
Therefore, the ability to detect simple magic even down to the last demons is something that even the most outstanding priests cannot catch up with.
“This energy!!”
great magic.
From the time she returned after being defeated in the Great War to the present, she is the most powerful and fearsome Magi.
“Devil… … !!!!”
Gailum rushed out of the battleship.
Every time he ran, the whole boat shook violently, but it wasn’t the time to worry about that.
Not far from the flagship Leviathan, a huge vortex begins to form.
Like a black hole, the vortex that engulfed everything around it quickly flows backwards and rises into the sky, drawing the shape of a giant dragon.
“human? Are you human?”
Gaylum doubted his eyes.
The energy felt from the person floating in the air is clearly that of the Demon King. But isn’t that form a fragile and terrible human being?
“Gailroom. Long time no see. No, it must be the first time I see it.”
Kurreung, Kugung!!
His gaze, which had covered the sky of Paradise Island in red in an instant, slowly turned to Gaylum.
As soon as the demon king appeared, interceptors installed from above the island fired all at once.
“It gets in the way.”
Even the magical bombardment that had buried dozens of fleets in the sea scatters in an instant with a single gesture of his.
It’s not enough either.
A cross twisted in reverse fell from the sky and hit the battery deployed in the sky.
Aww!!!
The non-invading artillery, which could never be reached even with the precision fire of the fleet, including the Leviathan, was distorted and collapsed with the defensive technique.
The terrifying destructive power that even Gaelum had to fold.
He trembled involuntarily at the ‘overwhelming’ he had felt 300 years ago.
What humans feared 300 years ago was not the Demon Lord Army.
He was only afraid of the demon king, a ‘divine god’ who could drive the world to destruction just by being there.
The newly born Demon King Baek Sanwoo clearly showed the difference in power.
“… … .”
The Demon King slowly landed on Leviathan’s deck.
“Did you come to meet me? You are truly a loyal servant.”
Galelum felt completely naked just by looking at it. Even the executives who followed Gaelyum later realized the identity of the existence and could not help but be astonished.
Besides, the demon king did not feel just a simple magic.
The reverberation of death that can be felt in the coldly lowered eyes. A void that is so terrifying that it engulfs even time and space.
Did he absorb even the gods of Thanatos and Azethos, who were called the three great evil gods?
Gailum grabbed the Bloody Messier in his hand.
Because this was never the situation he wanted.
When the Liberation Front was first organized, it was purely to protect the defeated demons from humans.
The demon king was sealed, and the island, which was the home of the demons, was destroyed by humans as an educational institution called a school was built.
It was Gaylum, the foot of the giant, who reunited the demons scattered across the continent.
However, 300 years have already passed since then.
Gailum has now become the leader of the demons that no one disagrees with.
He destroyed a number of demon leaders who stood in opposition to him.
Even for a small throne, those who sit on it cannot easily give up their authority.
Gaelum wanted to become the new Demon King through the scribe Elder Rich, the spokesman of calamity, Harcream.
If the Demon King is resurrected, even the reputation of being the ‘leader’ of the demons he was so obsessed with will be taken away.
It was obvious that we had to go back 300 years ago and kneel before the overwhelming majesty of the Demon King.
So I decided to invade.
The news that The Elder is absent, and information that one of Paradise Island’s greatest forces, Elijah, has left the island.
Following that, there was even information that the Demon King’s seal was gradually weakening.
So, wouldn’t it be possible to completely resurrect the demon king or invade Paradise Island before the seal is strengthened and absorb the incomplete demon king’s power?
if only it were done.
Finally, it was not impossible to rise as a ‘ruler’ in the true sense of the word.
It should have been if it had been planned.
It was not enough that the Demon King was resurrected, and he was in the form of a human, which was absolutely disgusting.
‘This person… … Are you really the Demon King?’
Even face-to-face, I can’t easily admit it. Galelum’s blood began to boil.
That power will be mine.
I do not know where the dog bones rolled in, but the throne was an honor that only Gaylum could occupy.
‘Have you not fully awakened yet? That’s right, now is the only chance to get rid of him and take away his power… … !!’
squeaky.
Strength enters the hand holding the mace.
『The demons are divided at once and landed on the island. So that the fleet on the left wing can go to the north, and the fleet on the right wing to the south.”
“Don’t order me!!”
Gailum roared wildly at the demon king who was slowly passing in front of him.
with a bang!!
In addition to numerous humans, it was a weapon that defeated even the king of dreams, Corinth, the black dragon Ouroboros, and the immortal Baal.
Bloody Messier.
As its name suggests, Bloodslaughter, Gaylum’s Mace presented a gruesome end to whoever it was.
it maybe.
Even the imperfect demon king might have touched it.
“Give me that power!!! That means it’s mine!!”
Wow-!! Woodduck!!!
The steel deck was terribly distorted. The moment Galeroom, having a sense of victory, was about to open her mouth brightly.
“It’s fun.”
“… … !?”
The mace floated slightly in the air and was trembling.
A clear voice followed.
“I don’t need anyone who is not loyal to me.”
At the last word, Bloody Messier bounced off and barked at Gaylum’s body.
* * *
“Is it over… … ?!”
Aidan said as he cut off the last remaining demon body.
Wave 1, Wave 2, Wave 3… … .
The spirit of the demons, who had been rushing incessantly, was definitely broken. I don’t know what the plan is, but for the first time, I sighed.
But Aidan Christopher had no time to rest.
An urgent messenger has arrived from the men defending the South.
“The Holy Barrier of the Southern Forest has been destroyed!! A huge number of demons are flowing into the city!!”
“South Forest!? Were you bypassing the troops?”
Upon hearing the news, Irkhan Bradamante answered in disbelief.
“If the troops had been diverted, Professor Ecclesia Bell would have clearly said… … !!”
He looked up into the air.
The interceptor batteries deployed in the sky, Gustav, seemed to be busy with continuous bombardment.
He was too busy to check the detached building approaching from the rear.
Whatever it was, it wasn’t good.
“Aidan, can you take care of this place? Perhaps we need to redeploy some of the Central Terrier’s forces.”
“of course. The situation is urgent, so let’s go… … !”
That was then.
Wow-!
Kaga River, hey hey!!!!
An inverted cross fell from the air and hit Gustav’s battery directly.
The magic barrier surrounded by dozens of layers was crushed with one blow, and the artillery that made up the battery was literally crushed.
“Aaah!!”
“Ahhh!!!!”
The personnel in charge of the battery’s operation scream and fall from the sky.
Fortunately, the magicians who were waiting in the aft deployed fall prevention magic, so no terrible disaster occurred.
“Hey, what is that!?”
“You mean the artillery was smashed in one blow?”
The students began to agitate at the situation that could not be explained even after witnessing it in person.
Even the dean, Irkan Bradamante, showed a look of surprise.
It is an undeniable inverted cross.
One day, when I was a child, I had witnessed it from the records of my family.
“That-”
Blasphemy is not a right granted to anyone.
Even the worshipers of the evil god, blaspheming the opposite god is considered a very dangerous act.
so that.
There is only one person in the world who can pour out absolute malice toward ‘good’ in such a way.
“The Demon King has been resurrected… … .”
To the answer that came out of nowhere.
Irkhan Bradamante’s face was stained with despair.
