Chapter 247: The Succubus (3)
***
As the momentum surged, Sla’s face hardened in an instant.
For a brief moment, she was overwhelmed by the aura emanating from Damien.
None other than herself, Sla, the one of the strongest ‘Giant Evil’ felt threatened by a mere boy who hadn’t even lived for 30 years.
Thump.
Unconsciously, her grip tightened on her fist. Her pride as a giant evil was shaken.
“Surprising, isn’t it?”
Sla focused her dark mana on the wounded area. The wound bubbled and then completely regenerated.
With renewed strength in her elongated arm, Sla clenched and unclenched her fist and said.
“If the connection is severed, then simply reconnect it.”
It was the first time the immortal body had been destroyed. It was shocking, but nothing had changed.
The mana circuits of the immortal body were incredibly complex. Even Damien would have to concentrate to sever them.
In other words, it was not a technique that could be easily employed.
“I’ll make you regret laying a hand on a woman’s body.”
“Don’t worry, I don’t even think of you as a woman.”
Sla couldn’t help but let out a chuckle. She then lunged at Damien.
In the blink of an eye, she reached him. She raised her fist to smash his jaw, the blow tearing through the air with force.
At that moment, Damien ducked his head and simultaneously swung his sword. He sliced off Sla’s forearm.
Dawn severed Sla’s forearm, along with the mana circuit which prevented regeneration.
Sla stared at her limp forearm in disbelief.
“How...!”
Severing the mana circuit so easily? It was absurd. How could he do what even she couldn’t...?
“Didn’t I tell you I found a way?”
With those words, Damien began to move.
There was no time to reattach her severed forearm. Sla focused her vitality on her arm, and a new arm grew from the severed portion.
“Don’t come any closer!”
Sla threw a punch. Damien twisted his body to evade the attack.
Fist sliced through the air and created an explosion of air that sent shockwaves in all directions.
Sla once again attacked Damien.
With each swing of her fist, a thunderous roar erupted. The buildings and the ground shook.
Yet, none of her attacks could reach Damien.
Sla’s attacks were dodged by Damien easily. He simultaneously swung Dawn and sliced her body.
Her forearms were severed multiple times. Once, even her entire shoulder was sliced off.
With the slightest lapse in concentration, her knee was severed. There were even moments when she narrowly avoided having her waist severed.
“Impossible, this can’t be happening!”
The parts of Sla’s body severed by Damien did not regenerate automatically. Because of this, she had to regenerate her flesh every time by expanding her vitality.
Sla’s vitality wasn’t infinite. Each time Damien slashed her body, it consumed vitality to regenerate her body.
If this situation continued, she would inevitably be at a disadvantage. Sla had to resort to her last measure.
“Damien! This is your final warning!”
Sla shouted while attacking him.
“From now on, I will become incredibly unsightly. I never let anyone who sees this form live! So, drop your weapon and surrender!”
Damien responded to her warning with a mocking laugh.
“You’re full of it.”
“...I figured you would say that.”
Sla sounded regretful.
Soon, she released her final seal. The dark mana within her surged uncontrollably.
The moment Sla was taken aback.
Damien’s sword sliced through her torso as well.

To ascend to the Master class, one had to attain a ‘realm’.
However, in his days as a Death Knight, Damien did not have his own unique realm even though he had ascended to the master class.
Was it because he could imitate the realms of other Master Classes?
Or was it because he was a slave to Dorugo? Damien himself didn’t know the exact reason.
What was certain was that Damien ascended to the Master class without having his own unique realm, and only much later did he acquire his own realm.
Sword God.
[TL/N- Author changed Divine realm to Sword God.]
It was Damien’s realm which was created by unifying the realms he had imitated so far.
The reason Damien created the Sword God realm was because there was someone he had to kill without fail.
Dorugo.
Liches hid their souls in objects called Life Vessels. As long as a Life Vessel remained intact, the lich could not die. Even if their bodies were utterly destroyed, they would resurrect.
The problem was that Damien was under Dorugo’s control and he had no way of finding the life vessel.
Thus, Damien created the Sword God realm. A method to kill Dorugo without needing to find the life vessel.
Cut.
Whatever it is. Whatever form it takes. No matter where it is.
The realm Damien created with the sole intent of severing Dorugo’s soul was the Sword God.
However, the Sword God realm was something Damien developed as a Death Knight. He couldn’t fully utilize it with mana instead of dark mana.
Therefore, Damien continuously whittled away at Sla.
He stripped away the layers covering Sla to ensure he could cut through her soul.
This was the result.
Damien delivered the finishing blow. Although Sla was still alive, it was only a matter of time.
“A-ah...”
Dark mana began to pour out from her severed body. As her soul was severed, it began to release dark mana.
“This... this can’t be... this can’t...”
Along with the dark mana, her life force spewed out. Sla’s body shriveled rapidly.
Not only did her body shrink quickly, but her skin also began to wrinkle. In mere seconds, Sla transformed into an old woman.
“Stop... stop...! I can’t bear being this hideous... I can’t allow this!”
Sla screamed and began to clutch her body.
“Please... please kill me. So no one can see me like this... please...”
Sla tried to move towards Damien, but with her soul destroyed, she couldn’t control her body properly.
“Please...”
She crawled along the ground using her arms, dragging herself to Damien’s feet.
“Kill me...”
Damien opened a subspace and pulled out a spear.
It was the spear Blanca Roche used. Before coming here, Damien had taken it along.
Not to use in battle, but for another purpose.
Damien thrust the spear into the ground in front of Sla. Her face was reflected in the smooth surface of the spearhead.
“Aaah! Aaaah!”
Sla screamed and started tearing her face.
“This isn’t me! This isn’t my face! Aaaah! Aaaah!”
Sla screamed to the heavens.
With that final scream, her soul was utterly destroyed. The life faded from her eyes.
Sla’s body turned to stone and frozen in place.

[PR/N- Still not satisfying death. I want Damien to torture her more.]
