53 – Death (3)

– limp.

The gentle moonlight hangs over each pillar of the corridor of the mansion. It is still deep in the night.

I’m walking down this hallway with pain.

– limp.

Then stop for a moment and look into the distance.

A panoramic view from a mansion located high on the outskirts of the ecliptic.

Numerous lights are twinkling in symmetry with the stars in the sky.

– Tiring.

[Life remaining: 8 days 12 hours]

[※Blood contract penalty weight: 2 hours of life is consumed per blood]

‘……’

Ironically, Jordin was easy.

– Hee hee!

Emotional swordplay, the same pattern of swordsmanship as back then…

There was no variable whether it was the limit of his individual value.

Even if it’s a fucking game, the power inflation was taken into consideration…

The problem was that, apart from the lifespan, the blood that was used beyond the limit could not avoid the pain that came.

– limp.

‘Cysteine…’

I can’t help but drag my legs through the corridors of the corridors.

And in the middle of the hallway, a blonde man was leaning against the wall.

“hi?”

“……”

unlucky kid.

It’s Prince Kyle.

“Now this will be a proper conversation, right? Because there is no owner.”

“……”

“I had no intention of coming here. I am also anxious.”

The guy flicked his blonde hair and blocked my way.

I replied in a slightly hoarse voice.

“Don’t turn around, just say it. Is this all you did?”

“I won’t deny it.”

– Tzupat.

[equivalent exchange]

[Remaining time: 05 minutes 01 seconds]

I ran up to him and swung a bloodsword whose shape had become slightly opaque.

-Sue.

“?!”

-puck!

“Ugh!”

However, as if he expected my attack, he dodged to the side and hit my back with his elbow.

– Knocked up!

The impact caused the wooden box he was carrying on his back to fall to the floor.

“I’m here to talk… Oh, don’t worry about Systein. Because Eliana took over.”

Cysteine and Eliana… weren’t they cooperative?

“What do you mean?”

-♪♩~

-It’s sweet.

The boy hummed and opened the wooden box.

“It is literally. The back of the head in the back of the head… After all, even if you are a knight, there is no one you can trust among humans.”

I’m not interested in turning the guy’s words around. I don’t have time to listen.

“Tell me about the behavior you’re harassing. Why are you doing this?”

“Well. My goal, like you… is just to survive.”

“What?”

“After the war, surviving the battle for the throne. It’s simple, right? Well, it’s better if I become the strongest person in the world.”

“A bastard who thinks like that is giving this shit away?”

-chuck.

Kyle checked through the wooden box to see if there was a sword, but with a sidelong glance, it was fastened across his back.

“Then, if I servilely shabashaba, will demons help me?”

“……”

“You don’t know very well. Is this what you got from 10 years of messing around with demons?”

Obviously, I don’t look good right now.

But no matter how you look at it, you got caught up in this guy.

I rather asked him.

“…Then, are you responsible for what happens when the prince who represents this continent starts fighting with demons?”

“It’s a big deal… Well, if a war breaks out over something like this, I’m grateful. Given my position, there is no better time to start a rebellion than that time.”

He is the one who openly says that he is plotting a rebellion. I’m not insane.

His voice was quite calm.

“Absolute cooperation does not exist in the world. There is only a goal for each other, and if this overlaps for a while, there is only a temporary alliance. Isn’t that also historical?”

– Turbuck.

The guy came closer to me little by little.

“So I’m trying to make a public enemy. There is no better way to unite my people in this chaos than that.”

– Turbuck.

“I know that Iris approached you first. That alone… is quite an eye-catcher. I admit it.”

-chuck.

It was only three steps away.

“That’s why I recommend you. come to me If you go to Iris, you will never get out of Pandemonium.”

Isn’t that a line from a cartoon somewhere?

When I didn’t say anything, the prince tried to reassure me with a more relaxed expression.

“It’s not like you’re asking me to swear allegiance. As I said before, if we go together to reach our own goals, that’s enough. I am also attracted to you If I get drunk on you, it feels like Arain will be a bonus.”

Is this the center of the whirlwind of rebellion that was so emphasized in the game pack?

It’s ridiculous.

“You want to rebel against your master at least once…”

“Fuck you.”

So. After 10 years of being a demon, you’re telling me to do something else for another 10 years, right?

[Blood Veil]

[Use as much as 10!]

[Life remaining: 7 days 16 hours]

Everyone is dying, so what kind of life will they enjoy?

– Pavabat.

After roughly repairing the blood sword right away, I aimed for his heart.

-visor!

“!!”

It is a divine hand movement.

The guy raised his arm without a pre-stance and deflected my attack with the sword at his waist.

“Is this your answer? But what about this, I also use a sword.”

“……”

The boy began to warm up by turning his wrists.

“I’m so used to it… I was afraid of the eyes of the people around me, so I always practiced swordsmanship only at midnight… I didn’t want to get misunderstood.”

– With Char.

And he drew his sword. The sword body shimmers as if absorbing moonlight.

“Like today, every single day until the moon rises and disappears.”

– Tiring.

[ep. ecliptic]

[Division Point: Moonlight Sword Demon]

.

.

.

“You are also a demon… I guess there are times when the ranks that are coerced by force work like the demons?”

.

.

.

[start]

– Papa pat.

It is one of two things that the guy runs ahead.

I was happy, or

Or, I will be merciful and show you the game quickly.

“!”

His sword narrowly passed my left side.

I can’t feel enough murderous intent in the trail of the sword.

Willingness to somehow subdue me.

I gripped the blood sword tightly and recited quietly.

“About 10.. use.”

[Use as much as 8!]

[Life remaining: 6 days 23 hours]

[Increases strength by 24% (71% total)]

The effect of blood magic was clear.

There is strength to support the legs.

I just aim for his vitals.

-visor!

“Hoo.”

Before long, our new models overlapped.

Only the sound of swords clashing echoed in the silent corridor.

-visor!

Every time their swords touch each other, sparks fly.

‘Fuck.’

Every time I cross like that, I feel like my lifespan is also being cut into chunks.

On the other hand, the boy still had a relaxed expression on his face.

– Chii Ik.

After 4 rounds, I had no choice but to distance myself from him again.

‘Isn’t this enough?’

I heard that magic is also strong, but it didn’t seem like a lie to say that he constantly practiced swordsmanship.

Freely wielding the Highlander seemed like a part of his body.

And he lunged at me once more.

His body seemed to disappear.

– Whiik!

Forward stabbing, should be let go rather than blocked…

-visor!

“!!”

The moment I reached 5 points like this, I felt the strength in my wrist loosen up.

‘I can’t widen the distance…’

– Shuuk Puck.

Perhaps it was because he was only focusing on his sword, he thrust his fist into my side.

“Cock.”

-Degur…

More at readwn

Just like that, I rolled over.

‘Whoa…’

Kyle’s expression didn’t change at all, except for a slight smile.

He came towards me as if he was about to finish.

His figure reflected in the moonlight looking up from below was worthy of being called the Sword Demon.

-Remedy.

When he raised his arm, I squeezed out all the strength I had been sucking on.

– Poof!

The attack, which I thought would be meaningless, removed his sword body once.

-visor!

“this.”

In an instant, he backed away slightly.

As soon as he fixed the hilt and grasped it, I started with Equivalent Exchange.

‘Use 10…’

[Use as many as 12!]

[Remaining life: 5 days 19 hours]

[Increases strength by 24% (95% total)]

“Kuk!”

Pain is painted over with pain.

My body is as light as a feather, but even if I move, I feel like I will never return to normal again.

As soon as Kyle confirmed that I was in position, he dug in.

– Kang!

This time, a longitudinal cut.

“!!”

Focusing only on blocking, he struck back too hard.

The boy smiles condescendingly.

Let it go once…

– Chureuk!

I barely let go of 1 move, but Kyle turned around and cut it horizontally.

– Chak Kang!

“…!”

All of those movements were like one movement, rather it became a blow with acceleration.

-Charrrrrrrr.

Fortunately, out of misfortune, I have better strength.

He was pushed back once more by the repulsive force.

definitely a monster

If there was no equivalent exchange, it would have been difficult to withstand even one sum.

‘Is the prince a prince… or was it because it was a turning point?’

My hands are tingling.

From a while ago, his attack started aiming only at the fatal wound.

He said to me with a more serious face than before.

“I heard that you are a blood magic user, but you seem to believe in something…”

-It’s sweet.

Then, open the wooden box and take the rapier-shaped holy sword in your left hand.

…became a dual wielder.

‘done……’

You might think that using two heavy knives is like a monster, but I like it.

– Shik.

Kyle, who became a dual wielder, began to attack me without hesitation.

No matter how much Equal Exchange is overlapped, it was not easy to block his double-wielding blow.

– Kagang!

As I hid behind a pillar, it began to accelerate even more.

– Whirik!

– Knock!

His sword begins to move so swiftly that it even cuts through the pillars.

It’s fast, but it’s heavy.

And that power came flying to me as a blow with both hands.

-Chang! Kang!

I pulled my right leg back and put the power of both hands on the blood sword to block it, but

-Pushuk

“Kuk!”

After that, I gave another effective hit to the incoming spinning attack.

…I can’t even count how many.

Now his new look seems illusory.

The skill gap is obvious.

– Worst!

Before I knew it, blood was flowing between my ribs.

Time to aim for the heart.

Mana is generated around the heart and spreads throughout the body like blood flowing through the blood vessels.

It must be finished before that guy seriously aims for the heart.

“I was wondering if I could look at that proud blood magic… I’m disappointed.”

“……”

It seems that he comes in first and releases it with an attack focus, but in reality, he induces my big movements and counterattacks to inflict damage.

Feeling like I’m emotionally waiting for you to come.

‘great.’

As expected, in the Knights of the Empire, there is no swordsmanship textbook that assumes that the person will die.

So, let’s do an attack full of loopholes.

From that guy’s point of view, it’s natural to feel that 100% defense and counterattack are possible…

‘About 30…40 blood?’

no?

That guy is a sword demon in the game system.

There may be some dead ends left.

So what’s left?

simple arithmetic.

All in.

I’m sure this will kill me, but there’s a chance.

To be precise, depending on the proficiency, if you’re unlucky, you’ll fall behind even before you try to wield it.

So, you only have one chance.

All you have to do is induce a 1-match match.

I look into his eyes and think of it as if it is imprinted in my brain.

‘The rest of my life.’

– Challang.

The Holy Grail strikes once again. No, it’s completely spilled.

-thud!

-Wooo…

And his heart sank, and everything around him turned grayish white.

– Tiring.

[equivalent exchange]

The color of the status window is not faded. Okay. I just let it flow out of sight.

Even the boiling pain is… ignored.

For a moment, I was crying and my stomach was sick, but now I can’t hear any sound.

-……

So everything slowed down.

‘However, it is only 1 sum.’

-Tadadat.

However, the inner world with time and space that only one person can feel.

…no? There is one more person besides me.

In that world, there was a child named Moonlight Sword Demon.

“…!!”

As if he had read that my condition was not serious, his eyes slightly widened in an instant.

The relaxed face of a guy you see for the first time.

‘Now I can see it, expression.’

– Tadada dat!

As I charged at an unexpected speed, he did not panic and straightened his posture.

– Arrive.

The two hands holding the sword are eight characters, and his new form is narrowed.

‘right.’

Maybe it’s because he’s from the royal family, so he definitely has a habit.

Imperial counterattack posture.

The basic passive type is to predict the trajectory of the opponent’s sword and preemptively defend it with a dagger or short blade.

The auxiliary hand holds the knife in reverse, and pulls the arm to close the space.

And with Joo-Jinbi, he completely seals his empty space.

‘under.’

I laughed quietly.

Because I know the weakness of the holy sword that he uses as a substitute for auxiliary equipment.

-The mysterious thing is that the more the holy sword is stained with demon blood, the more it becomes dull and corrupt.

The words Eliana had shed.

When I took the Holy Sword from Jordin and tested it, I found out that my blood also reacted to the Holy Sword.

I don’t know if it’s because I’m from another world or because I’ve been bitten by a vampire.

So… you can finish it in 1 sum.

As usual, a big attack like this would take a lot of damage, but… it’s meaningless. now.

– Chakang!

-Pachaeng!

The two sword strikes merged into a single sound.

-Chururruruchuak!

“!!”

My sword cut right through him.

And the blood flowing through the tracks…

-Shhhh!

The surrounding time and space, which had been slowing down, returns again.

.

.

.

“hahahaha…”

Kyle laughs miserably.

The blade of the holy sword held by him in reverse hand was completely destroyed.

-dump.

That’s how his new model also collapses.

“Whoa…”

-……

– Tick.

“?”

As if someone turned off the lights, my vision is darkened.

– Clumsy.

Like when I was on a ride, when I had my eyes closed.

My body twisted around,

– Fluffy.

-……

Soon, only the energy of the cold floor was transmitted to my right cheek and the skin freed from my clothes.

it’s cold

This floor touching my bruised skin is too cold.

-Chalbak.

Contrary to my heart, my trembling legs are already drenched in puddles of blood.

‘ha…’

The smell of blood passing through the tip of my nose fades with my consciousness.

.

.

.

-……

is it dead

It’s a turning point.

You broke the branch…

Am I finally going back?

[email protected]#^&@&^

A mysterious sound then heard.

??

what…?

What is he saying now…

-#^@#&@

Fuck I get it… I get it… Now, return me to the real world…
