Chapter 39: The Warlock
Ten days have already passed since the Demon King of Wrath and Trika were sealed together in the subspace.
Under Akashic's command, who had taken over the entire power, the Seollust Corps continued to block the influx of enemies.
However, the number of demons on the anger side was enormous to the extent that it was impossible to really know the end.
The demon kings did not come forward.
I didn't have to go out.
It was because it was the greedy corps that continued to lose money even if they sent only scoundrels and waged a war of attrition.
* * *
Another week passed.
From the enemy side, high-ranking demons began to be deployed.
They were all powerful people.
There was a huge amount of damage that could only be dealt with by the commanders of the corps directly.
Among the commanders, there were deaths.
He was Count Victor, 10th in rank.
At this rate, he cannot keep his promise to Trika.
No, it may all be over before Jamie Welton returns.
It's time to renew your resolve.
* * *
Another full month has passed.
He succeeded in killing five high-ranking demons with Akashic's struggle.
Marquis Lillian was also able to achieve victory against the Marquis of the Vampire Legion.
The count-level corps leaders also gathered their strength to kill some high-ranking demons.
I heard Beiros was active.
The atmosphere is good.
I don't know how long this atmosphere will last, but at least the flow was this way.
But as if that was the end, the demon lords began to move.
The fight started now.
* * *
Maybe a few days have passed.
Night and day have no meaning.
The fight continued.
Still, significant results were obtained.
Akashik had defeated the stingy demon king.
The stinginess came with the SS, but in the face of Akashic's all-out attack, he was helpless.
One of the five Demon Lords on the Rage side has gone down, so now there are four left.
But they must have clearly understood how strong Akashic was.
As expected, the demon lords began to ravage the battlefield in pairs.
In the process, the 5th Count Ancaro and the 8th Count Granros lost their lives.
You have to do everything you can.
Akashik decided to bring out the 'Magu (魔具)'.
* * *
Magura was a weapon exclusively for demon kings that was created together when the demon king attained the rank of a demon king.
Originally, Trika was supposed to use it, but he realized that his harness was a very dangerous thing, and sealed it in the depths.
I wonder if it is right for someone who is not even a Demon King to write such a thing, but without that, the four Demon Lords could not do anything.
Because they also had magic.
So Akashic awakened the harness of the Trika that was sealed in the depths, and took it directly.
It was only when he got it that he seemed to understand why Trika sealed it.
It was the darkness that engulfed everything.
* * *
I still don't know how much time has passed.
Wearing the harness, Akashik succeeded in killing the two demon lords.
He was the Demon King of Lust and the Demon Lord of Depravity.
However, while dealing with them, my body was eroded by the darkness of the harness.
The staff of the World Tree was about to reject him.
Many people were worried, but now is not the time to be concerned about the condition of the body.
I thought it was better.
There is nothing in this world that can be exchanged with such certainty as equivalent exchange, so the harness gave it a strong enough force to encroach on the body.
can do.
You can keep your promise with Trika.
* * *
It was a long time ago.
His mother, Gaia, who created him, said this to his children.
- Beware of chaos.
Akashic's body was no different from chaos.
Divinity as a natural god and darkness created by the harness constituted the body.
In other words, it meant that he possessed a tremendous power that he had never experienced before.
If there is a problem, it's too much power, so it's not strange if the body breaks at any time.
'It's not easy.'
The demon king of vampires and the demon king of arrogance were strong.
Vampires have been fighting for a long time, so I knew that they were as strong as lust, but the demon king of arrogance was strong enough to bear that nickname.
More than half of the commanders of the corps were killed by them.
Not only that, but there were also a lot of cadres who suffered fatal injuries, so it was reasonable to think that their power was actually less than half.
Luckily, Lillian and Beiros were holding out.
'Not very long left.'
Even the seal that contained anger and lust was slowly approaching its limit, and it felt as if time was running out.
Will Trika hold out against him so far?
As it became a concept, the winner is unknown.
It will not be easy to win, but it is also judged that it will not be easy to fall.
Anyway, there's not much time left.
* * *
"You guys !!"
The demon king of arrogance falls and dies with a large hole in his chest.
Akashic's body was eroded by the harness to the extent that two-thirds of it was filled with darkness.
What would happen to you if you were completely engulfed in darkness?
Akashic decided not to think about it.
Now, there is only one demon king left.
'I lost too much.'
He killed four demon kings and lost most of his soldiers.
Still, there was one demon king left, and the vampire corps he led was still strong.
Not only that, but it seemed to have absorbed the power of the other demon kings, and his power seemed to have grown much larger than before.
"You bastard, I don't know where you came from all of a sudden, but you did it like this. It's amazing."
The vampire demon lord was seriously astonished.
Defeated four demon lords and annihilated half of the Rage Legion's troops.
Of course, two of the demon kings were low-ranking buggies, but it wasn't an achievement that could be accomplished alone.
If he had been fine, he would have run away.
'cause you'd be killed
Now it's different.
"You are very weak."
Red rain is pouring down.
It was rain made from the blood of vampires, but it had strong acid, so when it touched, the skin melted.
The higher the level, the more resistance you can resist, but it was impossible for demons below the intermediate level to fight here.
"Let's finish it soon. If I don't take this place before Satan returns, I think I'll really kill myself too.
He's a really cool guy
Last time, when Tri-Car was away, he attacked me, and this time, he appeared in front of me as if he had judged that he had definitely weakened.
Until then, the nose had not been seen.
"You are resting. I will deal with it."
At that moment, Beiros led his exhausted body and pulled Akashik by the shoulder.
"Get out. It is not your opponent."
Akashik slapped his hand and told him to step back, but Beiros couldn't hear him.
"It's all over when you die anyway. You and I will try to make the most of our time, so you focus on recovering as much as possible."
Beiros tucked to his side, and Marquis Lillian was standing there when he came.
She had white, ice-like skin, but now her whole body was covered in dirt, so it was messy.
She looked at Akashik without saying anything, and then nodded her head slightly.
If these two are lost, what is left?
It would be right to deal directly with the vampires, but Akashik couldn't say that.
This is because, as they say, if the darkness can be calmed even a little, it is possible to kill the vampires.
So this time, I had no choice but to say it like it was in the trika.
I'm sorry.
"Apologizes!!"
Beiros shouted that and rushed towards the vampire, and Lilian followed after him with a chill that would freeze him to the core of his bones.
under!! Was the Demon King funny?"
The vampire demon king Dracula exploded his blood and collided with the two demons.
* * *
"Ugh ."
Akashic looked at the Vampire Demon Lord with completely black eyes.
Almost split his body in half.
As a result, the body was completely drenched in darkness, leaving not even a single word of divine power left.
It has become a complete demon.
It is also armed with 'murder intent'.
"You guys This can't be... ."
"Shut up."
He swung his hand, and the vampire's head flew away.
That was the end of it.
Marquis Lillian was struck by this man's hand, and Beiros became unconscious.
Originally, Beiros was supposed to be dead, but for some reason Lillian flew to save him.
In the process, he suffered serious damage and eventually died.
It was an absurd act.
Akashic let out a breath.
Killed five demon kings.
and.
It was fun.
A demon with a crude sword riding a huge black horse approached.
He was also a demon with information in Akashic's head.
"Second place in the Rage Corps ."
"It's Arsenka."
Yes.
The five demon lords who surrendered to anger and their corps were all defeated, but the regular units of the anger corps were waiting for the right time.
And Duke Alsenka of the Fury Corps has long been a strong force even if he is called the Demon King.
I just chose to be under anger and didn't get the rank of a Demon King.
"I didn't know you could defeat the five demon kings alone. No matter how much help he received from his subordinates, it was surprising. If my master had seen it, he would have praised you."
" ."
"I'm sorry. That someone strong as you must die. how about Although I hated my master, if I speak well, I will be able to survive. Swear allegiance to him."
"To ridicule, you find the wrong person. I will kill you too."
"It is, too. I can't."
Alsenka felt really sorry and raised her right hand.
Then he fell forward and shouted.
"All troops advance!"
At the same time, the Legion of Rage began to sweep the Demon Castle of lust.
Akashic tried to go to stop them, but he couldn't.
"You can't go."
this guy !"
"Be food for anger."
Numerous screams resound.
As the high-ranking demons of the Fury Legion were attacking the Demon Castle, the sound of the walls collapsing could be heard.
The fire burns, and many soldiers die.
Everything was coming to an end due to the overwhelming difference in power.
I tried to stop it somehow, but I couldn't keep my promise to Trika.
"Ahhhhhhh!"
Akashic raised all the remaining power.
any bit.
You just have to keep at least a little bit.
Even if I have to burn this life!!
That was the moment.
"These trash!!"
The whole sky was covered in purple.
Alsenka looked around with a bewildered face at the sudden abnormality and shouted.
"Everyone, get ready for anomalies!!"
His orders were quickly spread by the commanders throughout the corps.
But it was nonsense.
The purple sky flashed, and the mana that reached the limit was spurted out.
Shortly thereafter, terrible things began to happen to the entire Wrath Legion.
"Aaaaaah!"
"Mom, the body is disappearing!"
Come on? Why are you doing this?!"
one two.
Demons perish.
Without any omen, without knowing why, they disappeared as a handful of ashes.
Alsenka woke up to the sudden death of the soldiers.
A huge number of demons are swept away.
The strange thing is that the noble-class demons did not disappear.
Those of the lower ranks lost consciousness, but only to that extent.
Should I call this lucky?
It was not enough to be surprised.
Akashik, who was watching, couldn't stop his eyes trembling.
'This magic... !'
The information aggregate, Akashic, knew what this magic was.
It was lost a long time ago... .
[Transcendental Magic]
[The Reset]
"You have done a lot while I was away."
A person with a great presence descends from behind.
A strange, but somehow familiar energy, Akashik looked back.
"Jamie Wellton."
There stood Jamie, whose appearance had changed slightly.
He looked up at Akashi and raised an eyebrow.
"Why are you so dark?"
At that light tone, Akashik laughed and lost consciousness.
Victory is back.
