Chapter 35: Adaptation (1)
The moment when breath and Gaebyeok collide.
A huge wave of waves poured down to the level that would collapse the entire Colosseum.
Duke Katos and Marquis Lillian strengthened the barrier, but the clash of the two enormous energy seemed too difficult to block with their temporary barrier.
In the end, the barrier was barely able to withstand it only after loading up the power to the tri-car that got up from the seat.
Only after going to the Demon King were the spectators able to observe the situation inside the wall, and it was a sight like chaos.
An aura filled the wall that seemed to destroy everything in the end as the pure white light and dull darkness intertwined.
No one knew what was going on inside.
Even the trika could not read.
'It's really hard.'
I was also surprised by the dragon breath that Beiros emitted with all his power, and Jamie, who delivered a sword attack that was comparable to that.
That was the moment.
The tangled energy began to be dyed into purple darkness in an instant.
"It changes."
The cold voice of Marquis Lilian was heard.
The purple darkness began to take over the entire space, like chaos that engulfed everything.
Trika knew what that was.
"Chaotic Ocean."
Diablo Volfir's terraforming magic.
It is a magic that creates a situation where you can fight against a strong enemy by dyeing the entire space with your own black mana, and it was a technique that his master used only when he thought it was really dangerous.
The fact that he wrote that meant that he had decided that he would "must" win, and it was proof that he strongly recognized Beiros.
There was a feeling of light gushing out from within the unseen chaotic ocean.
"The match has been won."
Trika said so, and Katos and Lilian went straight through the barrier and entered the Chaotic Ocean.
At the same time, the sea of chaos was torn in half and disappeared like a lie.
" ."
A gigantic demon dragon standing tall.
Jamie Welton is lying under it.
The robe that Jamie was wearing was almost torn, and underneath it was a small puddle of red blood.
However, it did not mean that Beiros looked fine.
His thick dragon skin was full of large and small scars, and his wings were rags.
More than half of the right horn was cut off, but there was no trace of the horn that was cut off.
First of all, I couldn't play.
"After all, Count Beiros has won."
Marquis Lillian said so in an emotionless voice.
On the other hand, Duke Katos, who was standing next to him, was still staring at Jamie.
He gleamed a yellow light in the seething darkness, then vanished like a burnt out candle.
It was a moment when Lilian tilted her head as she watched Katos suddenly disappear.
"Fuhua!"
Jamie, lying on her face like a corpse, exhaled the breath she was holding, and slowly stood up.
Marquis Lillian's eyes widened.
Jamie stood up casually despite the massive bleeding, wiping the dust off his clothes.
Damn it. I'm drenched.
Then he looked up and looked at Beiros.
Beiros, who narrowed his eyes, said as he slowly fell to the side.
" damn.
bang!!
As the massive body collapsed, the ground shook violently, as if an earthquake had occurred.
Trika, who was watching, got up and declared the winner.
"The winner is Jamie Welton!"
There was only silence in the Colosseum.
* * *
How did this happen?
The demons belonging to the Seolyuk Corps were in a state of confusion due to the rank-and-file battle that had taken place a while ago.
"The Count Beiros has been defeated."
"A human being would defeat that vicious demon dragon?"
"Humans are number 6? her. It was unprecedented in the demon world."
"Should we accept this?"
"What kind of count is the count? He's been completely stripped of his rank, so his rank will be reclaimed. And what if you don't accept it? If you want to be annihilated by your Majesty, then you should check it out. In other words, did your Majesty order the rank-and-file warfare? Beiros said he would do it."
All the demons shut their mouths at the last words someone had said.
In the first place, it was Beiros who wanted a rank-and-file battle.
So, raising the issue itself was like reaching out for death.
But more importantly, Beiros was no longer a high-ranking demon in the 6th rank, nor was he a count.
Even if the rank disappears, its strength will not go anywhere, but it will no longer be able to show its dignity as a high-ranking demon.
'There are very few cases of surviving the rank-and-file battle.'
In the first place, in a series battle, one of them will unconditionally die.
Throughout the history of the Demon Realm, there were only a handful of demons who survived the rank-and-file battles.
Because of that, the demons these days wondered what the treatment of Beiros would be like.
Their owner, Trika, will decide how to dispose of it.
When the result comes out, the demons just have to follow it.
"Anyway, that person. The name ."
"Jamie Wellton."
"Are all humans that strong?"
"Crazy. Are you all that strong? That person must be unique."
"Still, that last one was a little creepy."
Well.
The demons shook their shoulders as they remembered Jamie's last performance of 'Chaotic Ocean'.
At least, the demons who saw this sequence war started thinking about humans again.
* * *
"Whoa."
Jamie was concentrating on recovery, spreading divine power through her body.
Although he won the match against Beiros, he too suffered heavy damage.
He was pushed back to the point where he had to use Chaotic Ocean in close combat based on his last breath and incredible strength and magic.
Even within the Chaotic Ocean, the fight with him was not easy at all.
He mobilized all available magic, disturbed his senses with a curse, and inflicted pain.
He restricted his actions with darkness and inflicted fatal wounds on his hard body.
Even so, the monster-like man trampled on himself, exploding the magic and dropping it.
Inside, it created the illusion that time did not pass.
After a clash with trance, he was victorious.
Are you okay?
Trika, who suddenly appeared, asked indifferently.
In the past, he was the man who cared indifferently when he was seriously injured in a clash with the 12 gods.
"It's not okay."
Jamie answered honestly.
The mana cores that were evenly distributed throughout the body were already messed up, and the qi and blood were also distorted, so if you made a mistake, you almost became a bad person.
All the muscles in his extremities were torn, and he couldn't even walk properly.
I was just forcing myself to endure it with superhuman patience.
"I think I see that time."
"Stop the nonsense."
After correcting the twisted blood, Jamie sighed and lay down on the floor.
Restoration will increase exponentially just by restoring qi-hyeol.
Jamie, who yawned in exhaustion, looked at the tri-car and asked.
"What about him now?"
"Are you talking about Beiros?"
uh. If you lose in the original rank battle, you usually die. You didn't let me fight a slaughter, so you don't have to decide how to deal with him.
Beiros was a strong demon, but now it has been reduced to a single demon without any rank or rank.
That power didn't go anywhere, but he couldn't wield the same prestige as before.
Also, it was impossible to do a sequence battle right away.
It wasn't set by the rules, but this rank battle was one in which a lot of things like stubbornness and greed worked.
A situation in which he was likely to put a lot of restrictions on him on the tri-car line.
well. I didn't think of anything."
what? Did you really think I was going to lose?"
"There was none of that, but it was just Did you not remember how to treat him?"
The reason that Tri-Car first put forward when it banned slaughter was to prevent power loss.
In other words, even for him, Beiros is not a hand he can discard if he wants to.
But when he was defeated by Jamie, he lost everything, and now only his body was left.
"It's impossible to let that much energy play."
Hmm.
Jamie, who thought carefully, smiled and suggested.
"Leave it to me."
" What does it mean?
"Anyway, I am leaving in four years. So what does the rank mean?"
"It is."
"It is correct that the order goes back to Beiros. Instead of.
Jamie spoke with a playful face.
"I call him my servant. In the process, I do some education. how?
"So, do you mean that you want to make me a slave?"
"It's not that grand. Let's say it's like a servant to do some miscellaneous things. It will be a little hard on the body from start to finish, though."
Well ."
As Trika looked a little worried, Jamie struggled to get up and continued.
"It's an opportunity for him to pretend that there is no ranking battle, you don't have to worry about Beiros' treatment either, and I get a punching bag. It's not bad."
punching bag?
"Doesn't it feel like a combat doll with similar skills to mine, and a pretty good combat doll for training purposes?"
So, what Jamie wanted was something like a useful fighting slave.
Perhaps it was the point of experimenting with things learned here.
I wondered if this was true for Tri-Car, but the Demon Realm is a world ruled by the strong.
No matter how high-ranking it is, if Jamie, the winner, gives up the ranking, it is the rule.
"Then why don't you think that the ranks are not accepted?"
Huh. I do not need. Even without it, the benefits are sufficient. Because you are."
"Okay. After all, I don't know what's inside you.
"How can you beat the 12 gods if you deceive enough to be read by Suha?"
At Jamie's impudent attitude, Trika sighed and bowed her head.
"For now, I know. Then rest."
"Yes, yes."
When Jamie motioned for her to go, Trika disappeared with darkness.
Alone, Jamie lay down again, frowned at the taste of his body.
It was a dark castle in the demon world, but the bed was comfortable.
The divine power is still running, and the qi and blood are back to normal, so it will get better soon.
Eyelids are heavy
I thought I was going to sleep, but there was something I had to do before that.
black.
He couldn't hear his voice, but he could feel him wriggling deep within him.
Considering that it felt like it had disappeared in the past, Black has recovered a lot now.
"I'm sorry for making you suffer today."
I don't know if I could hear the voice, but Jamie closed her eyes at ease.
How much time has passed
Darkness quietly filled Jamie's room, and someone appeared with black smoke.
Although a specific body does not exist, he was clearly Duke Katos, who had a yellow eye light.
" ."
Duke Katos looked at Jamie quietly and muttered a little.
"Has the wheel of fortune started to turn?"
Katos, who left an unknown word, looked at Jamie for a while and then disappeared like a lie.
