CH 176

: Beyond the long years (1)

" Luke."

"What the hell are you going to do?"

Luke couldn't answer Adele's call and looked up at the sky dyed purple.

It was a huge ominous thing.

It was as if I had witnessed it with my own two eyes just before the end of the world. He watched the tumultuous situation below.

"Do, run away!"

"You have to get out of here!"

"Keep order! Order!!"

"It hurts! Everyone slow!"

it's abyssal

Refugees who had evacuated from the magic world in an orderly manner at first were frightened when the sky turned purple, and then they ran away as strangers.

The wizards tried to deal with such refugees, but it was impossible for only a few hundred wizards to stop the crowd of tens of thousands.

"Five, five elders. Citizens were thrown into confusion. Out of control!"

"Victims are coming one after another on Street 3!"

"Atrane 13 fell, causing many deaths!"

"Some wizards are disobeying orders and fleeing among the citizens!"

The disorganized city was rapidly collapsing.

Even though there has not been any direct damage yet, people have changed as if they have lost their reason.

Luke fully understood them.

The moment he saw that purple sky, he also desperately wanted to leave this place right away.

The reason I couldn't do this is because I had achieved a sense of responsibility and a superior mental discipline than ordinary people.

If either of them was a little lacking, it would not have been different from the citizens.

The purple sky was truly the madness of the demon realm itself.

"How is your defense?"

"All the magic tower magic weapons are on standby."

In preparation for an unexpected invasion from the outside, the magic world has built powerful magic weapons in the entire horse tower.

"Can the central tower's 'Dimension Breaker' be activated?"

"I have prepared five Grade A Manastones."

"About one foot."

Magical decisive battle weapon Dimension Breaker.

The strongest weapon created by high-ranking wizards in the magic world and above.

Five A-class manastones were used, the only cost to operate once, so it was not easy to decide.

That power was not seen by Luke.

It wasn't just Luke. They did not see their king, let alone the other elders.

The moment the Dimension Breaker was triggered was only when a great crisis approached the Kingdom of Seldam.

And Luke thinks it was today.

'I wish I didn't have to use it by all means .'

It is only a wish.

Luke said looking at Adelhardt.

"Adel. You lead the refugees safely."

"Luke! Are you saying that now?"

"In the current situation, a stronger person must remain. You are weaker than me."

"Where is such a cowardly word!"

request.

At the request of Luke, who had lost all his playfulness, Adelhardt clenched his teeth with tears in his eyes.

She clenched her fists and pointed them in the face, warning him.

"If you die, you die."

" I will try."

Adelhardt and his men headed for the refugee procession.

If it was Adelhardt, a wizard specializing in the psyche, he would lead the refugees outside safely while suppressing the fear to some extent.

All that was left of the magic world was the battle wizards and Luke to command them.

"Everyone, don't let the tension go down."

Although they were far apart, they were telepathically connected, so everyone listened to him.

And Let's all survive.

The wizards gazed at the ominous purple sky.

In a form ready to engage in battle at any moment.

* * *

Jamie slowly opened her eyes.

Someone broke into the dark space that he had spread out. It didn't stop there, but he robbed a part of the darkness and made it his realm.

It is a strong presence.

The demon dragon was huge enough to turn into a child.

'What happened?'

It was incomprehensible.

This dark space that Jamie has unfolded is none other than his own realm, 'Chaotic Ocean'.

It was a deadly terraforming magic created to deal with an enemy stronger than himself.

Even that was still incomplete because his body was still lacking, but he must have been able to defeat the Demon Dragon somehow.

Had it not been for this unexpected situation.

'It is understandable that a stronger demon has descended, but How did you rob my chaotic ocean?'

Chaotic Ocean is a black magic that Jamie assimilates his black mana with space.

In other words, it was impossible to rob this unless it was the same black mana.

It was the same even if the 12 gods came.

It's cracked when it's smashed, and it shouldn't have happened in Jamie's common sense.

Fierce-!!

Coming.

The darkness is telling it.

Jamie took off her cross-legged position and stood up.

The purple eye light became more intense, and the black mana began to be amplified under the influence of Chaotic Ocean.

Whoops!

An arm protruded through the darkness.

It was an arm armed with black armor.

He grabbed the darkness with his hands.

The space of Chaotic Ocean shook violently. The color of the darkness did not change, but Jamie could feel it.

'It is encroached again.'

Starting with the captured part, Chaotic Ocean's initiative is being passed on to the opponent.

Jamie's eyes fluttered.

Could it be that someone took his black mana?

In the present world, traces of Diablo Volfir were scattered everywhere.

A hand grabbed the darkness and pulled it outward. Another arm appeared from the space that appeared, grabbed the darkness on the other side, and spread it wide to the sides.

The right foot came out of the wide hole. Then the head, torso, and left leg slowly crossed over to where Jamie was.

A being armed with a black full plate, a presence exuding black smoke from the seams of the armor stood in front.

As soon as Jamie saw him, he instinctively felt it.

'Devil.'

The Demon King is clear.

I don't know why he doesn't show hostility, but thanks to that, he was able to breathe.

Why did the Demon King appear here?

'The risk would be huge.'

The Demon King is the main enemy of the 12 gods.

There is no way that the 12 gods were unaware of his appearance, and the advent of the demon king acted as a causal factor, allowing the 12 gods to manifest here at any time.

But the 12 gods did not appear.

There was no reaction in the left hand either. In a situation like this, the Pyro might be able to talk to you.

Jamie looked at the presumed demon lord with a nervous face.

no words come

A moment of silence followed.

Jamie spoke first.

"Are you the Demon King?"

No answer was heard.

It was time for Jamie to frown and ask again.

"I asked if it was the Demon King ."

what are you

It was the vibration of the soul.

He only spit out a few short words, but at the very least, his soul almost collapsed.

Jamie was barely holding her breath.

I can't take even a single word like that.

Anger erupted, and pity came to me. In the past, I would have proudly spread my shoulders and looked down at my opponent from above.

Whether it's a god or a demon king!

'okay. I am Diablo Volfir.'

No matter how weak the situation, its essence does not change.

Jamie arrogantly raised her chin in front of a strong person, spread her shoulders, and folded her arms.

It will not be pushed only by momentum.

It was such a promise.

The existence presumed to be the Demon King lit up Jamie's eyes for the first time.

I don't know.

He bowed his head and asked again in a very puzzled voice.

How can you handle this power, and be able to pose like that in front of me?

Unlike the first, at the long question, Jamie felt her soul churn.

Jamie, who had endured the backflow of blood through her throat, took a breath and answered.

"I don't know the meaning of the question. This is my strength, and I am not a fool who bows before the strong."

It is impossible. Your level cannot handle my presence. Here, too, I care a lot. So it is right to bow your head.

The being lightly raised his right hand and slightly bent his index finger downwards.

Jamie's stiff neck was forcibly pointed downwards, but she clenched her teeth and endured it. Because of that, the surrounding black mana was seething.

It's impossible.

The being lowered his index finger harder.

Blood dripped from every hole in Jamie's face.

Still, Jamie didn't bow her head, and stared straight at the enemy.

It hurts to die, but it is better to die than to surrender to the enemy.

That was the belief that Jamie and Diablo Volfir had. No one can trample that belief.

be stubborn It's just arrogance for someone like you to do that.

"ね!"

The pressing force grew stronger.

The bones from the lumbar to the cervical vertebrae were broken.

The joints of the whole body were already smashed.

Jamie felt terrible neuralgia, but he forced black mana to flow through his body, forcing him to hold his position.

impossible. It is impossible for more human beings like him to exist.

I don't know who he's talking about, but Jamie's eyes wide open and he stared at him.

He couldn't turn pale, so blue solid lines spread all over his skin. blood vessels have ruptured.

you are what he is!

At that moment, the being stretched out an arm. Jamie was dragged into his hands.

This one was unbearable.

"Big!"

Jamie, who was grabbed by the neck, vomited blood and opened her eyes with difficulty.

Helm looked close.

face was not visible. It was because the inside of the helmet was engulfed in darkness.

But one thing could be seen.

' Purple eyes?'

Jamie's eyes trembled.

It was not so surprising when it encroached on parts of the Chaotic Ocean. If I had obtained black mana from somewhere, it would have been possible.

But it wasn't purple eyes.

It is the only identity that Jamie and Diablo Volfir have. It was the light that could be called his source.

Those endowed with that color were among the creatures of Diablo.

Could it be that some of his powers that spread to the world were inherited even in purple?

"Yeah, how did you get that light ."

voice cracked.

Some had their necks caught, but it looked like their vocal cords were also broken when they resisted their power.

I am! Why are your eyes, why are they purple like his!

that's That is my question."

Jamie pulled his fingers hard to get out of the way with his tiny hands.

there was no fuss

No matter how strong the force, no matter how much I pulled it, it did not shake.

He gave up and asked again.

"You, why do you have my powers?"

your strength?

okay. my black mana... Why does an ugly demon like you have it!"

Jamie exhaled black mana.

The presence of the armor let go of the neck that I had unknowingly grabbed.

Then, with a look of bewilderment, he took a few steps back.

Nonsense . His maintenance must have been cut off, right?

"Cool, cool!"

Jamie grabbed his neck and coughed over and over again.

The lungs seem to have been crushed.

No, more than that, my body just became a mess.

With a painful expression on her face, Jamie let the Pyro's divinity flow through her body.

I don't know why the Pyro didn't appear, but luckily, I was able to use the Holy Power.

The messed up body returns to its original state very slowly.

Jamie lifted her head and looked at him. What was so embarrassing, he grabbed his head with both hands and went back and forth as if he had lost direction.

What happened? All of his things have been erased... 12Didn't God completely erase the traces?

Then he stopped and turned his head to look at Jamie.

explain your existence

" What?

If you can't explain.

Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooosssssssted(s)

The whole space shook violently.

The whole world seemed to collapse.

A huge force is swaying.

Jamie thought this power was somehow familiar. But I didn't remember.

That was then.

If you don't understand how you got Volfir-sama's power, I, the Demon King of lust, will drop you into Hell!

The demon king of lust took off his helmet and shouted wildly.

There was a very familiar face.

Black hair, long torn eyes and purple eyes, a large scar instead of a nose, and stubbornly closed lips.

Jamie slowly called out his name.

" Trika?"

trika.

The first undead created by Diablo Volfir, and the Dark Knight who always stood at the forefront of the battlefield.

"Are you Trika?"

At that question, the shaking stopped like a lie.

Trika, the demon king of lust.

He looked at Jamie in disbelief.
