Episode 433
As if giving an ordeal, Slizzia forced me to make a choice.
Whether it catches tumors or protects humans.
But Slizzia didn’t know one thing.
Taboo karma.
Black air currents begin to flow from my body.
[Ugh... Just looking at it is a terrifying power. As if denying everything...]
“The monsters of the abyss follow their own laws. It is unconditionally superior in any world.”
It’s embarrassingly absurd, but that’s the reality.
There’s no reason to give up though.
If she applies unreasonable force to me, this side has no choice but to take a little loss.
The larvae pouring out of the mass of flesh that had spread furiously crawled toward me and silently exploded, enduring the slightest defense magic.
The acid bomb that melts everything it touches is threatening, but it disappears as if evaporating before it even reaches me.
Bubbly.
[My ruler.]
At that moment, the ground twisted and a crowned soldier appeared.
It was the regent native soldier.
However, unlike before, his appearance had collapsed considerably.
“Are there limits?”
[Sorry.]
The moment has already come when Slizzia uses her strange power against the demons.
The power that crossed the line filled the demons with madness, and now they have power that even earthen soldiers and megalithic statues cannot deal with.
[Aside from that, the upper group of demons started moving. There’s no time.]
At his words, I didn’t turn my head and put my hand on the chunk of flesh from which the caterpillar kept crawling out.
As if rejecting me, the larvae poured out of it desperately resisted, but I activated the taboo karma and burned the mass of flesh.
-Kiyiyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!
The flesh burns and disappears with an eerie sound.
The last remaining traces have disappeared.
Slygia must have thought that no matter how strong my firepower was, I couldn’t kill it.
But that was her mistake.
I have powers she never thought possible.
This may have originally been for a different purpose, but it ignores the merits of beings in the abyss.
In other words, depending on how you use it, it becomes a defense damage (defense ignoring damage).
“Good work Regent. Now stop being stubborn and leave.”
[But, ruler.]
“Enough. It looks like the stubborn girl has finally made up her mind.”
Saying so, he looks away.
[Here! Are you ready!]
You only get one chance.
I nodded quietly and walked slowly.
Leaving a food soul by Perserk’s side was the last move.
[It’s an overwhelmingly small number... Black Dragon, some high-ranking demons, and the soldiers who follow them. That number is 50,000 if you catch a lot.]
Out of 500,000, there are only 50,000 who follow the devil’s order.
Other than that, everyone is working with Astaroth to betray the demon lord and contribute to disrupting the balance.
As expected, Perserk here was unable to properly express his power due to one fact.
The memory of being a demon but a human being The sadness of having to become a being that wages war against humans again.
Whatever happened.
She thought a lot while looking at this terrible devastation.
Even if there is no turning back, I chose the path to save life.
Many of the demon king’s powers are only for the demons.
The demon race is a unique race that operates under the authority of the demon king.
[Recall]
It’s difficult to kill all the demons.
Even if all humans die, it will be difficult.
Elijah’s problem was solved and he succeeded in pulling out Slizzia.
He succeeded in igniting the human resistance’s will to resist.
What remains now are the treacherous demons who stand in the way of the demon king’s future.
It was to deal with Slizzia, who shouldn’t be in this world.
Without saying a word, I raised my hand and made the sign of the cross with an unusual pattern before slowly getting down on one knee.
Then, after a short silence, I slowly got up and crossed the space.
* * *
Burnt marks are visible everywhere.
The people who fell everywhere did not even move.
Those who survived had even preserved their limbs, but those who died a terrible death were missing a part of their body or even lost most of it.
It was the result of a single battle.
It was clearly a resistance group that held up well when there were native soldiers.
It is also to endure with military supplies despite the lack of headcount.
With the strong power of the native soldiers disappearing, the resistance army, whose shield to block the forces of the demon army disappeared, lost consciousness and had no choice but to be beaten by the demon’s attack.
“Ah ah, my leg, where did my leg go!”
A soldier who lost his legs and went mad. Some of them do not even move, as if they are dead.
I approached without saying a word and checked their condition and quietly closed my eyes.
Maybe we should consider it fortunate that it is not an illness.
“Davey! What are you!!”
As they approached the fort’s walls, the devastation became even more horrific.
Yurina, wearing light armor, hurriedly ran towards me as I silently watched the chaos of the fortress.
“Hey! Where the hell have you been?!”
“much. Isn’t it more like a fortress than that?”
“You disappeared and an all-out war with the demons began. At first, thanks to the help of the army of gods who followed you, you persevered.”
Just an hour ago, those native soldiers all disappeared in an instant.
“I will be the bait. I and the death squad will remain until the end and delay their advance!”
At Yurina’s cry, the soldiers’ faces darkened as if they would collapse in despair at any moment.
The commander who has led them so far is shouting that he will jump into a place where he will surely die in order to save them.
“Ha, but...”
“Go ahead! Because one hour is not enough!”
She shouted and grabbed my arm.
“Davey... If you are, you will lead them...”
“No, helping humans ends here.”
At my words, she made a hard face.
“What...”
“From now on, I will only solve it myself.”
To touch anything more than this is like sprinkling ashes on well-done rice.
It is safe to say that the main force of the demons is coming to mean that Slizzia, who has lost fun, is calling me.
“Davey-sama...”
Arya slowly approached me.
As if he had a lot to say, he stroked her hair as she was silent.
It seems that the memory has not returned yet, but if there is some kind of opportunity, it will surely come back.
The day she and I first met.
remind me of that time
Yet she and I have not left the patient-doctor relationship.
“Yes... I was stupid for trusting you! Get lost! Get lost anywhere!”
Enraged, Yurina shouted at me.
The gaze of the surroundings was also not good.
It was I who raised them up, but when I came to the end and said that I would not help them, the feeling of betrayal must be severe.
In the eyes of the soldiers, I felt the anger that would kill me at any moment.
“...”
Yurina, who had been glaring at me without saying a word, clenched her teeth and let go of her hands as she saw the demon army gradually approaching.
“There is no time! Leave this bastard alone and go! I will be your shield!”
Before this much is enough. Now that the balance is right, as long as the number of heads is met...
I grabbed her by the back of the back, kicked her in the hamstrings, knelt down, and lightly slapped her on the back of the neck.
“Ah...”
At the same time, Yurina’s body collapsed.
I quietly opened my mouth after looking around at everyone who was watching the situation with a bewildered expression.
“I would have made it clear. I have no interest in talking to corpses. If you’re going to play corpses, you can slit your throat with a knife and die right away.”
I spoke calmly and punched the air with my fist.
Zeng!!
At the same time, a subspace opened and two familiar swords landed in my hands.
Hongdan, who cuts through the material world.
The cheongdan that cuts the immaterial world.
I’ve been waiting for this time.
Demons shouldn’t prevail, and humans shouldn’t prevail either.
Humans have lost their will, and there are too many demons. And there are too many internal forces.
There was only one way to balance this situation.
Asmodians reduce their numbers and erase their forces.
Humans provide opportunities to do things for themselves.
Damn it, I couldn’t touch Slizia thanks to being with the demons, but as long as the condition of balancing is fulfilled.
Whether she hides behind a god or a demon is none of my business.
“Hey, what the hell are you doing...”
As I pulled my sword out of the air, a bewildered Arcturus came up to me and put a hand on my shoulder.
“go.”
“what?”
“I’ll block this, so everyone run away.”
“What are you talking about!”
I didn’t answer the urgent call.
Instead, he flicked his hand lightly and created a huge magic circle all over the fortress.
If you run away on foot, you will be caught up in the aftermath and die. Casting time is about 2 minutes. Plenty of time to evacuate everyone before the aftermath.
While everyone was watching, holding my breath, I walked out alone in the wide plain and slowly knelt down while looking in the direction of the demons.
As if surrendering, the faces of the people of the fort show bewilderment and despair.
As if the demons had also discovered me, they showed expressions mixed with wonder and ridicule.
But I had a calm conversation with the observer.
“Let’s start, sir.”
[Ten minutes... ten minutes. The only time you can run amok without being bothered by interference.]
“It’s not three minutes. It will be sorted out in 5 minutes.”
It was meticulously prepared to the point of being banal, so now all the demons left here will die.
The same goes for Slizzia who controls them.
I, who was on my knees with my eyes closed, began to slowly recite a prayer.
[Until now, there has been no grace like this. Is this a grace or a miracle?]
[Goddess Pria, who oversees all things, Davey highly praises the high-quality grace.]
Originally, my power has a considerable influence on the surroundings. The element of madness is also suppressed like that, so it seems that they are attacking without fear.
I’ll show you that I’m different from what you expected.
Woooo!!!
At the same time, a huge being began to be summoned from a card I don’t know where it came from, and Cheongdan and Hongdani resonate with the intangible energy that is incomparable to what I have seen so far flowing from my body.
Soon, the two swords began to gather together, emitting light, and began to change into a sword that was much longer than usual and was transparent blue-red.
The two children who resonated with my power began to reveal their true nature.
Leaving behind my surprise, I smiled.
Let’s name it Chodan.
“Let’s go, super-dan! Let’s hurry up and go home.”
A girl in her mid-teens, translucent to my voice, appeared like a ghost and cradled me behind my back.
[Yes. Father.]
