52. Demon King (3)

The reason Cha Shin Hyeon accompanied the dragons is to fight the Demon King one-on-one. It was entrusted to them to deal with demons and other things.

The dragons agreed to it and followed it, and they did. Thanks to this, Cha Shin Hyeon was able to focus on the battle with the Demon King without being disturbed by other demons.

So the dragons were suffering.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

While enveloping Elter's body, several spheres rotating like satellites collided with the demonic attacks. The sphere shattered with a loud bang, but the defense was successful.

Elther escaped through the crack of the explosion. As the magic to defend all defenses was completed again in a short moment, there was some leeway.

“Ugh… … .”

The attack rubbed against my shoulder and my shoulder stinged. Elter clenched his teeth as he took emergency measures with magic.

It didn't take that long, but the battle between the dragon blood and the demons was at its climax. And unfortunately, the demon side had an advantage.

Ten dragons were involved in the operation.

There are eight magical spirits that are on the same level as dragons.

With simple calculations, of course, it is normal for a dragon to win, but on the side of the demon, there were more than 30 high-level demons attached as helpers.

It's a shame that Cha Shin Hyeon and the Demon King collided so brilliantly that they were swept away and eliminated, but if it weren't for that, 50 high-ranking demons would have been enough.

But even 30 people were hard enough.

Higher level demons are on a par with the higher level dragon blood just below the dragon. Of course, one-on-one was overwhelming, but it was difficult to deal with when dozens, not just a few, attacked at once. The 30 advanced demons were more than enough to cover two dragons.

“You coward, where are you running?”

If the dragon's commander is Elter, the demon's commander is Saltion, the demon king's right arm and commander. It is normal for the boss to face the boss.

Saltion sprinted through the air as if he was not going to give him a break. As the demon's new form fades, he rushes straight towards El Ther at high speed.

"what? cowardice?"

Elther, who had lost his absurdity, fired a magic filled with anger. The magic of the wind, full of vicious energy, flew right away to intercept Saltion.

Behind him, the white dragon shouted.

“Kallag!”

A verb containing the power of amplification strengthens the magical structure. A transparent blade with increased cutting power split Saltion. With his sword-red magic power, his clasped hands quickly blocked his way.

Aww!

Elther did not see the moment when the explosion occurred due to the clash of the magical force and the magical force. Turning his head nervously, he exclaimed the following words.

“Taras!”

The power of severing cut the energy that was approaching right in front of me in half. As the structure of the yaw force collapses, explosions occur on the left and right.

It was an attack launched by a high-ranking demon supporting Saltion from a distance.

Meanwhile, Saltion had stopped his intercepting dragon magic and was flying back towards El Ther. A discharge occurred in Elther's left hand.

Fragile!

A window made of lightning stretched out. It was an attack that had no chance to escape, so Saltion threw himself at his lightning bolt.

“ね!”

Feeling the thrill of flashing in front of his eyes, Saltion continued to run through the sky. After he counteracted the power of his magic by protecting his whole body with a magical force, he swung his weapon at El Ther.

"theory!"

El Ther hurriedly shouted his proverb and threw his body back. The proverb that directly restricts the body of the same level demon was not effective, but it was able to avoid the attack thanks to a momentary slowdown.

I didn't completely avoid it.

👌👌👌👌👌

A red line is drawn once again on the pure white body.

I'm sick, but I don't have time to heal. You have to stop, dodge, and counterattack enemies who are persistently biting and drooping... Anyway, I was too busy.

So there was more anger.

“Are you cowardly?”

Elter roared, glaring at Saltion with mad eyes.“Who says who is cowardly, you filthy demon!”

He is one of the most calm among the dragons, and his faucet is turning so you can see how negatively things are going.

The rest of the higher-level demons, who had enough to cover the two dragons, were not playing. Each went out to support the demons.

Their master has issued a solemn order to annihilate the dragons. Even a demon with high self-esteem never refuses to help in times like these. The demon society, which goes back to the logic of power, was very thorough in such top-down clothing.

It's not as good as dragons or demons, but even higher-level demons are strong enough. The power output they can handle is never low. It simply means that it is not an attack that can be ignored.

Just sneaking into a tight confrontation and firing support shots was a huge stress for the dragons. My mind was dispersed and my power was also dispersed, so I allowed the demon to attack.

‘No way, like this… … .'

Everyone was struggling with the idea that it was the end of the world here - and it was - but we must not turn away from reality. If you keep going like this, you will soon see a dragon that falls down.

If even one person falls, it's over. The demons who were dealing with him will flock to other dragons, and they will die one after another like dominoes. Eventually, Cha Shin Hyeon would also fall.

‘Before that happens.’

Cha Shin Hyeon has to defeat the Demon King. That was the only hope.

Wishing Cha Shin Hyeon to win more than ever, Elter took a moment to watch the battlefield against the Demon King.

That moment.

A terrifying feeling ran through my mind. Instinctively, a feeling of fear soared, which was barely suppressed by reason.

"Ah… … ?”

Unknowingly, a groan-like sound leaks out.

Elther found out why the 'Military Gap' had occurred.

It's not just him. Saltion, the other demons who were pushing hard, the advanced demons who supported them diligently, and the dragons that barely survived. Everyone felt the same sensation and turned to one place. The battle was forcibly paused.

Far away, within a radius of one kilometer, the place where no one approaches Cha Shin Hyeon and the demon king.

The space was dyed with an infinitely deep, dark dark red. The sky of the Earth, which was clear and unsuitable for this damn battlefield, turned dark red. It looks like ink seeps into the white paper.

“The Demon King!”

Elter's expression filled with astonishment.

Does it mean that the Demon King was pushed by Cha Shin Hyeon to the point where he had to use his last resort? A little while ago, you could only sense that the boiling energy was constantly collided with each other, right?

But even if Cha Shin Hyeon had been winning, it would have been a slight difference. That was too dangerous. I don't know what the Demon King was thinking when he activated the Demon Lord Spirit, but if he was stuck in that state... … .

bang!

Elther's thoughts were forcibly cut off. When he reflexively blocked Saltion's attack, his mind came back.

“I have lost my face to see the master. How could this happen while you guys are holding your ankles? A great disloyalty.”

Saltion's fierce growling momentum exploded. It's not about getting stronger. His murderous intent to kill Elter was incomparably stronger.

“I’ll kill you right away.”

“You idiot!”

There was no time to worry about Cha Shin Hyeon. Elter counterattacked violently.

Saltion wasn't the only one going crazy. Both the demons and the higher-level demons began to cling to each other much more viciously. The bloody battle between the dragon blood and the demons became more intense.

So the dragons quickly got tired.

The soul's breath reached the nape of their necks.

* * *

The more uninhabited the spirits are in harmony, the less they are shaken by emotions. Absolute Gosu doesn't even blink an eye even if the mountain falls in front of his eyes.

Ever since returning to Earth, Cha Shin Hyeon has only been truly surprised once.

It was when he fired his shim sword at the wall blocking the crack and it bounced off, and when he received a system message from a divine being not to touch it.

And today, for the second time, I was surprised.

“What… … !”

Cha Shin Hyeon could not leave the demon king, who exudes an ominous energy just by looking at it like a factory chimney spewing soot. As soon as they saw a suspicious look, they immediately attacked.

However, the power refused his orders.

To be precise, there was no problem with the energy present in the body. However, the natural energy around him, which he had been using the same as the aerodynamic power in his body, was out of his control since he reached the state of the spirit.

Just as the amount of water in a large sea is finite in the end, no matter how much elixir is consumed, human danjeon cannot contain infinite power.

The step of resolving this is the state of the public spirit. By interlocking the natural energy and one's own aerodynamics full of heaven and earth, it is possible to deal with infinite energy. Well, strictly speaking, the 'energy between heaven and earth' is not infinite, but there is no point in worrying about the entire earth's energy being depleted, so it can be regarded as infinite.

But now, the linkage with the external nature is not working properly. Once upon a time, for Cha Shin Hyeon, who graduated from Gonggyeonggi, it was as shocking as her limbs refusing the commands of her brain.

“Big.”

Cha Shin Hyeon stopped breathing as she made an impression.

The air that entered the body while breathing was mixed with the magical power of the Demon King. As it collides with a foreign energy, the aerodynamic force of the body repels it. If it were an ordinary soldier, he would already have an internal wound and vomit blood.

I was guessing the cause, but this made it clear.

That gloomy energy emitted by the Demon King polluted the surrounding natural energy and changed his nature!

The Demon King, who had been watching Cha Shin Hyeon for a moment, took a step forward.

The Demon King, who reached in front of Cha Shin Hyeon in the blink of an eye, honestly clenched his fist. Cha Shin Hyeon reacted immediately and swung her sword across the face.

Koo!

In the clashes so far, it was boiling at best, or Cha Shin Hyeon had the slightest advantage. It was because I had inflicted small wounds on the Demon King's hand.

But the situation has been reversed.

shaking!

Cha Shin Hyeon's arm, pushed from strength, convulsed. There was no wound on the demon king's hand, but he was slowly pushing in with his blade and fist facing each other.

The other hand of the Demon King moved in a state of uneasy confrontation. Five fingers that were slightly spread apart as if to tear Cha Shin Hyeon flew away without a sound.

“Ugh!”

He made the first defense with his non-sword hand, but there was definitely damage. The demon king's hand with sharp claws like that of a beast cut off Cha Shin Hyeon's hand.

Cha Shin Hyeon let out a short moan, ignoring the pain in his hand and immediately kicked his leg up. The feet that soared vertically aimed at the demon king's jaw.

hook!

The Demon King stepped back without delay.

As soon as he took a step back, the demon king's palm briefly cut through the air. The magic force that flew through the space smashed Cha Shin Hyeon violently.

Tuaaang!

Cha Shin Hyeon's body was thrown out. It was a completely different situation from the moment I purposely retreated to give a shock. Couldn't stand the shock and flew away.

Cha Shin Hyeon, who flew about 50 meters, forced herself into a pose. It brakes in mid-air and slides smoothly.

Left hand without sword. The bones of his hand, which had been hit by the previous attack, were out of alignment. His elbows were all covered in blood.

How long has it been since he'd seen his own blood? I think it's been over a hundred years since I've been injured this much.

Seeing his blood, his heart sinks rather coldly.

Cha Shin Hyeon, who raised his powers, used his regenerative skills on himself for the first time. The wounds on his left hand, along with an indescribable strange sensation, clenched.

“A person stronger than the Jinryong will immediately fall to the Demon King Spirit. It looks like you've pierced his weakness. It’s a trade-off that you don’t even know if you really know it.”

The Demon King laughed as if he was having fun. Cha Shin Hyeon asked in a dry voice.

“Do you call what you have done the Demon King Spirit?”

"okay. Every area that my energy touches becomes a space under my control. Therefore, it is called the Demon King Spirit.”

The Demon King said arrogantly.

“The magnitude of the power you wield was certainly comparable to that of the Demon King or the True Dragon, but… Unusually, you fight by gathering mana around you. Is it because the body cannot contain that much power? If so, then you are truly a contradiction. You are dealing with a force of a magnitude that is not allowed for the human race.”

The Demon King saw it right. The total amount of qi that Cha Shin Hyeon could handle was something that the human body could never contain.

On the other hand, the body of a true dragon or demon king, which is qualitatively different from humans, was able to contain its power alone.

Because he had a very good body, he couldn't develop it into a special ability, such as a communist delay, but in this situation, it worked the other way around.

“This area is a space under my will where the Demon Lord Spirit has already been activated. Even if you have the ability to control mana, it doesn't work well in this area. In the end, the output you can produce has been greatly reduced.”

The demon king paused for a moment and extended his palm forward.

Boo woo woo!

A strong suction force like a black hole was generated from his fingertips. 50 meters away, Cha Shin Hyeon's body began to slowly come along.

Although Cha Shin Hyeon had done a lot of this kind of thing in his past years, it was the first time he had ever been subjected to it. He even tried to fix his body using the power of his deep sword, but he was dragged little by little.Willpower isn't perfect for an opponent of its class. When he used the power of the deep sword in a perfect state, he was ahead of the Demon King, but when the output of his power was clearly behind, the effect was not great.

Whoever looked at it, it was the demon king's dominance.

If so, then doubts arise.

“Why did you hide this ability until now?”

When Cha Shin Hyeon asked, the Demon King let out a low laugh.

“Didn’t you tell me? From now on, I will risk my life.”

It wasn't just the sound of laughter that had only a positive feeling.

“The power to maintain the Demon Lord Spirit is my vitality.”

In other words, it was the sound of the demon king's vitality burning in real time like the uninhabited man who ran away the Jinwonjingi. Cha Shin Hyeon gave a hazy smile.

“Then you’re saying that if you run away from the Demon Lord’s Spirit, even if you stay still, you will die on your own.”

"right. If only you could get away from me.”

“We’re getting closer instead of getting farther away, so I don’t have anything to say. But if the vitality is on fire, wouldn't it be a waste of time to talk about it?"

“You are giving me unnecessary worries.”

The Demon King swung his hand towards Cha Shin Hyeon, who was being dragged.

Five huge, crescent-shaped magical forces flew towards him. While spreading self-defense, he swung his sword with all his might, but only four were able to completely block it.

👌👌👌👌👌👌

There was a long cut from his left shoulder to his right flank. His bones were also cut in half. Had I gone a few centimeters deeper, it might have reached my heart.

"Because I'm not weak enough to have to tear you apart in haste."

The Demon King concluded his speech with a gloomy voice.

“You are a fucking bastard.”

Cha Shin Hyeon let out a light sigh.

His gaze left the Demon King for a moment and turned to a distant place.

The appearance of dragons that do not seem strange even if they fall down catches my eye.

The Allied Forces, which will be farther away, will soon be facing their limits. The clash between him and the demon lord spread so far away that it unintentionally attacked the demon lord's army from behind, but even considering that, it won't last long.

He was good until he drove the Demon King at the beginning, but he did not anticipate the last technique called the Demon Lord Spirit. So this is how it happened.

No, it wouldn't have changed anything if I had expected it. It wasn't overwhelming enough to kill me before it was activated, and I couldn't stop it from being activated. You can't run away quickly after it's activated. What if the demon king doesn't follow him and kills the dragons first?

“I thought it was the best strategy, but didn’t even this work? It's too strong to be really strong."

Cha Shin Hyeon muttered bitterly. The Demon King groaned.

“Huh? You seem to have given up?”

"okay. I gave up.”

Cha Shin Hyeon sighed.

“… To deal with you like this.”

"what?"

The Demon King frowned.

“Didn’t you tell me? I was dealing with a power that was not allowed for the human race. Yes, that's right. Obviously, I use powers that transcend the realm of humans. in human disguise.”

from the very beginning.

The moment he returned to Earth from Moorim, Cha Shin Hyeon instinctively knew.

Where is the realm he has reached? He knows what door he is standing at, and what happens when he opens the door and goes inside. I don't know for sure, but since he realized it vaguely, he grabbed the doorknob and didn't turn it.

“I wanted to remain human.”

Cha Shin Hyeon, who smiled bitterly, inserted the last key that he had deliberately avoided.

Something broke inside him.

Offensive level 50. Inner 50 level. Total 100 levels.

The last place that beings with no place to climb any more had to truly reach.

The door of the fables was opened.
