Chapter 720
The Demon King threw shit and ran away until the last moment.
It was a sight that could not be explained in any other way.
The darkness that had been squirming stopped spreading around, but that didn’t mean they were slowly dying out. Rather, there was a strong feeling that they were gathering strength together, and as the eroding entities melted into it, the evil spirit’s energy grew stronger.
Is it possible to chew the celestial fighter who is going to regression to run the back of the Devil’s king, who had to do this to the back of the Devil’s king who wanted peace.
The word “Great chew” was used in this case.
I wish I could just neutralize and purify everything before I gather them, but my body is at its limit now.
Even if there was a dramatic change thanks to Ephaga-nim’s help, it doesn’t mean that there was no past where I overdid it by randomly unleashing my divine power. In that state, I overdid it again while trying to break the connection with the Demon King, so it’s surprising that I didn’t collapse right away.
If it were to explode right now or spit out some weird giant monster or something, that would be a different story... but at least it doesn’t seem like it’s going to explode.
“···But somehow I feel a sense of foreboding·”
Although the physical appearance is obviously unheard of and unseen, the divine power swirling within it is somehow familiar.
To be exact, it’s not the divine power that I’m familiar with, but the moving form is familiar... I can’t remember what it was. It seems like it’s not a problem with my memory, but rather I’m just so tired that I feel like fainting and my head isn’t working.
If I just collapse and fall asleep like this, will the soldiers clean me up? As my senses became dull to the point where I couldn’t even feel the wind blowing through my broken helmet, what made me strain my half-closed eyes was a familiar voice from far away.
“Eldmia!”
“Why is a child who is not even healthy···”
I looked back, barely able to control my body, and saw Cheryl running towards me with the spirits in tow. If it was something like the healing bead that the suicide saintess had given me, I don’t think I could have recovered that much with just the magic I had given her, but how could her speed be so extraordinary?
As she tilted her head, wondering what was going on, and was about to raise her voice, wondering if she was being too harsh, a familiar face appeared behind her and the spirits.
“Oh, so that’s why”
I never imagined that there would come a day when I would feel relief at the sight of Siegfried running towards me with a huge sword drawn, at a speed no less than that of Cheryl.
“It’s a little late, but... I’ll let it slide since I didn’t come after everything was over.”
Today is that monumental first day.
I can really faint now.
◈
As soon as he received the urgent report from Levien, Siegfried got on the gate without looking back and ran without even waiting for the rear guard. The inner city he arrived at was miserable.
The walls were gaping like they had been cut by a water jet. The inner castle was a mess, as if a dragon’s claw had passed through it. Several demons were dying and some were really dead.
“What the hell, Ogatorp! Where are you going in that condition!”
And even Ogatorp, who was so depressed that he thought he would die soon, tried to crawl through the hole in the wall.
Siegfried approached Cheryl, trying to console himself with the fact that at least he didn’t have to ask her where the Demon King and Eldmia had gone, and after a brief moment of deliberation, he used the extra healing orb Teneashi had given him.
In fact, Siegfried saw no need to use such a wasteful consumable here. Just like the survivors of the former Demon King’s army who were expected to be Eldmia’s escort, Cheryl also had the healing spell.
“It seems like I defeated the Demon King’s fragments all by myself···”
“No, it’s not that. We’re surrounding the sanctuary right now!”
Although it is said that Sagrada is naturally harmless, the current Eldmia is literally a walking sanctuary.
“This is why the holy law doesn’t work. The protection of the gods only works on mortals who need their care. The current Eldmia is···”
Not mortal·
Strictly speaking, it meant that he was classified as half mortal and half god, that is, a demigod. When his thoughts reached that point, Teneaci, who had been simultaneously grasping the situation and explaining it without thinking, suddenly tilted his head.
“No, how is this possible···?”
It was because he had a hard time accepting the situation even after saying it himself. Even if it was temporary, there was no way that a sacred method could make an ordinary person into a state close to a half-god!
In a situation that was completely incomprehensible, Teneasi had to feel like not only his head but also his eyes were spinning, and Siegfried, who was listening to the story from the side, had to feel a headache in a different sense from Teneasi.
I haven’t figured out the purpose yet, but isn’t this too much?
“So? Is Eldmia okay?”
Even though I was listening to the whole story from the side, there was Cheryl who asked me if I was okay with my health, even though I was half-asleep and half-naked. Now I was at a loss as to what was going on.
“Yes? Oh yes. Don’t worry. I don’t understand how you’re okay... No, that’s not it. It’s not that there’s something wrong with your body, you just passed out from mental exhaustion...”
How can someone react like that after hearing that a normal person is turning into a demigod? After all, isn’t being a demigod a big deal?
“Zeke! So suddenly... Zeke? What’s wrong?”
It was Eselua, who tried to scold Siegfried for his impulsive behavior, who offered him a helping hand as he struggled with the cognitive dissonance that was suddenly upon him.
Siegfried, who had been looking at Eselua and Entire with a lost expression, turned his head toward them and answered after a moment of silence, shaking his head indifferently.
“It’s nothing”
It’s easier to give up
You can hear the details later when Eldmia wakes up.
“It seems like Hyung took care of the big problem, so let’s take care of that one and then settle this fuss.”
Giving up on thinking, Siegfried turned to face the black mass of flesh that looked similar to when the great demon Crumelia transformed into a dragon in the Academy’s basement, and readjusted his grip on his greatsword, Nothung.
