Chapter 161 As a Demon (3)
Of course, I would not be able to beat the old king and could only buy some time . Even that may not be possible . I stared at him, and he was looking at me with surprised eyes .
“So, it was you . I wondered why my daughter was acting out of character . She had strayed because of having bad friends . ”
“You bastard . ”
I did not know if he acknowledged Jang Ye Ri as his daughter, and his voice was warm when considering he had been about to rape her . While I had seen many crazy people in this world, he had to be one of the most extreme .
The old king was still holding Jang Ye Ri’s arm and looked like he was thinking of a plan . I wanted him to focus on me, as him fighting me while holding Jang Ye Ri may cause problems .
“All right . If I brutally killed you in front of her eyes, my daughter would realize her position . I will crush your arms and rip your legs so you will crawl on the ground . I will take out those dirty horns and gouge your eyes to throw at the forest beasts . ”
“......”
I could see the madness in Jang Gi Young’s eyes, but he was off his guard, which was only natural . I was much weaker than him, and he knew it .
I could last for five minutes and ten at the maximum . It would be enough for Jang Ye Ri to heal and return to battle . While my role was shabby despite what I had said, it was still what I had to do .
The old king threw Jang Ye Ri on the ground and slowly approached me . While I thought of saying something to buy some time, his mad eyes did not seem to be looking at me .
Since Jang Gi Young did not use weapons, it was more difficult to fight . Jang Ye Ri was behind him, and while he would ignore her before killing me, the fact that she was behind him was an unstable factor . I sneered as I opened my mouth at the old king . I spoke like how Kim Taesung had joked in the back alleys .
“About your son . ”
“......?”
“Yes, your stupid son . You seem to be quite attached to your children, and he must be a failure . ”
Jang Gi Young stared at me without saying anything .
“It’s strange that while your daughter is quite competent in my eyes, your son is stupid . ”
“You...”
If he was not an idiot, Jang Gi Young would understand what I was insinuating, and I continued to speak as his face contorted in anger .
“Perhaps the father is the problem instead of the mother . I do not know what human beings think, but our race regards your situation like this . ”
I smirked after speaking .
“That your seed is inferior . ”
“How dare you . . !”
It was quiet . I was barely managing to stand with the spear, but I slowly put it forth .
‘It’s an imitation . ’
I had stronger physical specs than her at the battle, but I had lost .
‘I have to imitate her . ’
I put myself into position and prepared to fend off a critical hit .
‘Die! You inferior being!”
Jang Gi Young seemed to have remembered what I had said, and I let his attacks flow . I stepped back and swung my spear . While he would knock it out with his punches, I used the recoil to step back again .
I had to maintain distance and did not need to meet him with all my strength . I would look for an opportunity and would flip the situation when he thought he had approached me .
I changed between the spear and Dainsleif while aiming for a critical hit . I saw his shield break, and he would feel some burden . It was not enough since I could not put strength behind my spear . While he swung his leg toward my calves when charging me, I jumped up by ramming the spear in the ground .
It was the same way I had been attacked, but I had not realized it . I fended his punch with a blood thorn and stepped back by using the spear . I felt vacant, but my body was moving .
I managed to block his path and avoid his attacks with only a sliver . I could hear Jang Gi Young screaming .
“You damn eel!”
Was this how being one with my spear felt? I felt in my bones how the spear would spring, how to use the rebound, how to move my body, and how the old king will attack . I glared at him as I pierced him with my spear, and it was when his punch was swinging towards me .
His arm spurted blood . I had managed to last longer than I had thought, and I smiled while he stared at his body in surprise . The old king was not looking at me anymore, as he realized that I was not a direct threat .
Jang Ye Ri was the one wounding the old king’s body, and it did not take Jang Gi Young long to realize that as several cutting attacks rushed at him .
While it was not enough to severe, there was blood . As the old king clucked his tongue, I saw Jang Ye Ri holding the Reaper’s scythe .
The battle between the young queen and the old king was quite amazing .
‘He’s strong . ’
Jang Gi Young was strong after regaining his composure, and Jang Ye Ri also did not allow him to come too near her . It was amazing to see her scythe and his punches crash into each other .
I looked at them with admiring eyes despite myself, and the witch’s beasts rushed with their fangs as the old king ripped them apart .
I looked at Jang Ye Ri with magic in my eyes . She did not blink, and she cast spells with her mouth and a hand while the other arm swung the scythe . Her movements were fluid, and Jang Ye Ri managed to do what would not be possible even with two brains .
It seemed that she had entered the state I had entered, and the old king had more wounds . I stared agape at the battle of a quality I had never seen before .
While the old king’s fist crushed Jang Ye Ri’s shoulder with a scream, she did not stop swinging her scythe with one hand . She let out a shout that I had seen for the first time and continued to attack Jang Gi Young .
“You...you bitch!”
She was using her magic to the max, and they were close to each other . However, Jang Ye Ri did not step back as she rushed forward with clenched teeth .
She was moving forward and becoming stronger . I could not hear her voice anymore, and I felt a great shock . It seemed that Dainsleif’s penalty had come .
While my eyes blurred, I stared on to ingrain the fight in my eyes and carve their movements in my brain . I gratefully could see Jang Ye Ri stand with her scythe when I finally fell on the ground .
