Chapter 211

Episode 211: Life is cruel (6)

The waves of Cheongsanho’s escort were running to the magic tower when they saw a white signal rising into the sky.



It was an evacuation order issued to the entire city in case of an emergency.

There are searchlights turned on toward the sky from the west and south gates.

“I think there was a report about the devil...”

Since the four-light sign means evacuate in this direction, the fact that only the west and south lights are on means that you should not use the north gate.

And the one he fought earlier is in the warehouse area near the northern gate. In the end, that flashlight was a consideration from the superiors to avoid getting caught in a fight while evacuating to the north.

The fact that there are so many searchlights on in the south means that it is safer to evacuate to the south.

“...What a crisis.”

But... yeah. The more detailed instructions were given to the escort, the more anxious he became. Not only did the superiors already obtain information about that demon, but so did the evacuation order itself.

This is the first time in the history of Bemurchen that an evacuation order has been issued, excluding the two times in the early days of the city’s formation. This is the first time since that wall was built.

“Get up now!”

“wake up! wake up!”

“We must evacuate!”

“Pack your bags! “Just the bare minimum!”

Is it because the military has organized a civilian security force to lead the people instead of when it fights? It’s fortunate that people follow instructions well instead of being confused...

“What the hell is going on?”

“An evacuation order has been issued! Evacuate to the south or west!”

“What about the north?”

“You must not go north! I say it again! “Not in the North!!”

The guard looked at the people beginning to evacuate one by one and hugged Cheongsanho.

I knew the situation was dangerous enough to require an evacuation order, but I hope no major problems arise until everyone evacuates.

It was an extremely desperate and weak wish.

[I am the left pandemonium of greed or stinginess. I proudly declare that I am wasting time. It’s funny. Give it a try.]

She raised her eyebrows at Pandemonium’s words. Then he kicked the stone floor to avoid the rushing red water.

It came like a wave and hit the spot where she was. The speed was so fast that if I had been even a little late, I would have been caught up in it.

If you give it just 1 second, it will likely spread over 10m.

But if that quickness embarrassed her, it didn’t.

She had seen something similar to this beyond the realm, in the land of ice where even warriors did not go. Although it was very slow and didn’t seem to flow very much.

If the people back home had seen the red water of Pandemonium, they would never have called it ‘flowing fire’.

“Are there two types?...”

Anyway, there were two types of Pandemonium used: heavy and slow-flowing and light, glimmering like water and fast-flowing.

Additionally, the former was able to attack her by taking on a specific shape, while the latter had no form but came rushing in at high speeds.

She swung the wooden stick, thinking that it was the latter that she should be wary of.

The wind pressure was strong enough to narrowly avoid breaking the stick and pushed the lava away. The faster one seemed quite light, so I tried it just in case, and it actually worked.

Based on what she found out, she tried to pour out the red water.

Sigh!

The stick scraped the floor, pushing the flowing fire and blowing it towards Pandemonium.

I did this because I thought it would take a toll on my own strength, but unfortunately, the red water seeped into Pandemonium’s clothes on its own. It didn’t seem useful.

Good luck!

Additionally, the wooden stick caught fire. If you cannot melt a stone, you can burn a tree.

This was similar to what I saw back home. Even the flowing fire there could not melt the rocks, but it burned the trees.

The same thing happened with the weapon I soaked as a test. Those made of iron were only heated, and those made of wood were made from ash.

“Maybe you should have prepared a weapon.”

If that’s the case, that probably won’t be able to melt iron either. She felt a bit of regret as she thought about the red water that was once again flooding her and the dark-colored halberd that was broken in the fight with the demon knight.

“It doesn’t matter.”

I only felt regret. I didn’t dwell on it.

The halberd that was her master’s had been her partner for over twenty years since she murdered her master... but that was it.

When I think of the blood on that day, it had to break someday.

Her feet cleared the stone and she climbed onto the building, gripping the wooden beams that formed the framework of the roof.

As the swollen muscles became more prominent due to the exertion of force, the huge pillar was torn off.

Hwiik.

It was even thrown straight at the devil. A faceless demon’s ears perked up at the rushing tree trunk. As if smiling brightly.

[Humans are all about fluttering.]

Pandemonium took out dark red water and grabbed hold of a wooden pole. Although it moved slowly, the viscous liquid easily blocked the tree.

Whick!

But is there any reason for her to stop at just one? Absolutely not.

She tore down a wooden beam, pulled out a rock and threw it wildly.

There was nothing I could do because I would get burned by that hot liquid if I approached. I had to get to know my opponent like this until some weakness was revealed.

Tap, tap, tap.

Many of the things she threw were blocked by the dark red water, and the thin liquid tried to fill the alley. If it weren’t for the waterway, it probably would have been like that.

She saw the liquid summoned by the demon accumulating in the channel and looked again at the demon, who had not yet moved a single step.

Is that room or is there a reason not to move?

That’s how I treat her now. If I summoned a powerful giant like last time, I wouldn’t be able to kill her for sure, but I would be able to put more pressure on her than I did now.

But he still doesn’t seem willing to use his power. The reason is that?

“You don’t really want to fight me.”

[You are not a vessel of anger and there is no way you are worthy of sincerity.]

The patience of the strong is proof of something. The goodness of it....

[Why don’t you just go back when you give it a chance? I kind of like you. It’s been a while since I had a pure and clear desire.]

That’s just a trick.

Standing on the roof, her golden eyes scanned the ground like a hawk looking for prey. I didn’t believe anything Pandemonium said.

The same was true for the Pandemonium body. The fact that the other person’s outer shell was made of yellow molten metal was truly a pitiful thing.

Even if you attack or defend, only one side will suffer. She kicked the pillar that fell on her, sending Pandemonium flying, then ran to the next pillar.

Kugugugugugung.

In this situation, a red giant began to rise from the floor of the building.

The dense fire and rock giant lifted the beam and placed his head on the roof of the building. The uppermost sidewalk she had just landed on was burned by the giant, its core collapsing into ash.

widely!

So she smashed the ceiling and escaped outside. Crackling. The burning ceiling bothered her. It was a bonus that Pandemonium’s last attack pierced one of her calves.

If only there were weapons! I lamented without realizing it.

Hee!

At that time, the sound of a horse neighing was heard from afar, and the presence of someone approached. Powerful magic power and disciplined breathing. It was someone she knew.

“Demon knight!”

She twisted her face. It was humiliating to suffer as soon as the other person revealed their true feelings, and I felt fortunate that I succeeded in my goal.

But I’m still angry. I am so angry that I was treated so helplessly.

So... please stop being stubborn. it is not so?

“There’s a ceremonial altar inside! “It seems like he’s calling for something, so we need to stop him!”

She jumped off the roof as best she could, despite her anger at feeling helpless.

Pandemonium no longer has any inclination to attack, so there is no longer any incoming interference.

A body floating in the air stretched out its hand toward the approaching figure.

“Confirmed.”

The hands held tightly together exerted strength, pulling the other person and pushing each other. The seats were switched.

“Go to the wall with your horse.”

“I’m sorry I couldn’t help you.”

Her body was thrown into the ground where there was no lava yet, and the demon knight’s body was thrown into the building. Jet-black magical power began to rush like a storm.

Suddenly!

The black sword cut down the huge giant.

bang!

A technique that releases black magical energy into a spiral. I thought it would be useless when I was developing it, but it turns out to be surprisingly useful.

I made that assessment after creating a place to stand by grinding the lava and sending it bouncing in all directions.

[You’ve finally arrived.]

But if you can make a place to stand, what’s the point? I couldn’t cut what I wanted to cut properly.

I instinctively realized that the lava giant had blocked all my sword strikes.

It was cut, but it was never immediately restored using its liquid properties. I just couldn’t cut it. That’s it.

My right arm, which had been itching like crazy earlier, was now throbbing. The air thick with ash pierced my lungs.

[Anger.]

Bang!

One after another, the giant’s hand struck the spot where I was.

I quickly pulled back. It was a little difficult because there was lava all around, but the fact that the building was collapsing was actually a good thing.

I stepped on the piling debris and stepped back. The escaping sparks were quite hot, but I didn’t feel like my feet were burning.

Berserk... No, is it Weapon Master? It’s been a long time since I last saw her, but she seems to be getting further away, probably because she evacuated with Frederick.

I was worried that he was trying to fight with me, but he seemed to know that it would be difficult for his body. good night.

[Do you like the version I prepared for you?]

Now there is only one thing to think about.

How can we destroy the ritual altar that is out there? Should I cut it with more magical power? But there’s no way a faceless guy could stay still. The giant seems a bit sluggish, so wouldn’t it be better to go back and cut it down? Should I just force my way through with the magic spiral?

[Ha, well. You’re not really angry, so it doesn’t matter.]

I turned my gaze away from the lava giant and observed the demon of the lava veil. The triangular ears, which I thought were horns, spread out like wings.

[Look forward! I made a jewel that can stuff your soul!]

As the lava giant moved, a meteor shower began to fly from the sky.

Of course, the first thing that came to mind was a meteor shower, but if you look closely, it seems closer to a volcanic bomb. First of all, it flies with lava inside.

‘A bastard who can’t do anything without money...’

I cut down two of them once, and after seeing that even the remaining chunks hit the ground menacingly, I completely solidified my method of dodging.

The movement of the lava giant was also a problem.

Maybe it’s because it’s made of highly viscous lava to maintain its shape, so it’s slow... but one hit from something like that kills it.

It is even worse in that the surface is made of lava and you cannot step on it.

Boom, boom, boom!!

In the end, I jumped back to avoid the meteor, stepped aside to avoid the lava giant’s fist, and then stepped back again due to the rushing lava.

It was difficult to keep the distance if I went too far back, so I tried to go back by stepping on the building, but when I did that, a volcanic bomb hit the place I was going to go.

Even when a volcanic bomb is inserted, it explodes a second later and pours out lava.

It was truly the devil’s viciousness to overuse flooring that would not disappear.

Suddenly!

[Sorry, but the attack is too visible.]

The slashes I tried once or twice didn’t even work. I stood among the lava and controlled my boiling stomach as I looked at the demon that was difficult to attack.

It was harder to control my magic power today, so I was very nervous.

[If I had known this would happen, would I have been less prepared?]

Oh, please. At this point, I ask you to prepare your footing. Even that damn Mobiho gave me random scaffolding! The Inquisitor laid the foundation for aerial combat!

But what is this! Are you skipping the scaffolding just because there is a building?! The giant is destroying all the buildings and engulfing them in lava!

I gritted my teeth, taking in a breath of hot air. If this was going to be the case, I should have received support from the Magic Tower. Real life salting... salting is too much.

[What’s wrong?]

I felt like there was a lot of swearing these days, so I censored myself and took a deep breath.

[As if you don’t even have the confidence to touch it.]

You’re pulling so hard on your cigarette!

‘...Kill that damn bastard!’

Magical energy began to flow over the surface of my body.
