Chapter 374 – Shadow Empire (3)

Fortunately, it didn’t take long to meet the person who would cure Eunha. We met right after.

Iris, who was kneeling in her seat and praying reverently, was surprised to see Do-jin cutting through the space and fell, then was horrified to see the galaxy on his shoulder her.

“Husband!? Come here quickly!”

She was a wild saintess who only memorized the Bible with her own mouth and said she had no religious beliefs—but in her work of healing people, she showed a piety that went beyond that of a moderate priest.

Iris, who sat down in front of her galaxy, stretched out both her hands her in front of her and released her divine power her. Her divine power her, which has a higher rank than her divine power her, began to heal all of her galaxy’s injuries her according to her Iris’will her.

Her tattered body her clings together in an instant and regenerates without leaving a single scar on her. Due to her excellent regenerative powers her, even the scars on her body her began to disappear.

“…… First of all, the treatment is finished, but you have already lost too much blood. You won’t be able to get up until you restore her strength to her.”

“That’s enough. Thank you.”

Dojin thanked Iris for curing Eunha. Proving her usefulness of her, she burst into laughter at the bash, and she was ashamed as if it was no big deal.

For a while, the saintess looked at her Dojin and asked.

“By the way, how did you get here?”
“He came here to wield a knife.”
“Also……! Be great. Husband!”

It may have sounded absurd to others, but not to Iris. It was just an opportunity for her to look up to Do-jin, whom she loves.

Do-jin, in her own way, also wondered how she was alive when her fighting power her was not so high.

“Who did you meet?”
“Oh, me? I met some vampire.”
“…… Adelange? It wouldn’t have been easy to win.”
“Is that so? She reccited her prayers like she usually did and then she disappeared?”

Hearing that, Do-jin did not bring up her story, saying that Aderange was a Jinjo that existed only in ancient times, that she had awakened her old blood her and became a being that even the sun was not a weakness.

She realized that even these guys who seemed to have just copied them perfectly didn’t.

“Then Iris—let’s join the other kids quickly. Because there is something.”

“Yep!”

So, Do-jin took the three of them and divided the space. There was nothing to stand in their way.

Unlike the three who had already finished the battle, there were still some who were still fighting, but when several people, including Do-jin, clung to it, they were quickly eliminated.

Even though Do-jin scattered and fought an unknown enemy, she was thrilled to see my party finish the fight without serious injuries.

‘Whoever is in this class is the real demon lord, come.’

With this group, I didn’t think that anyone would lose.

* * *

All twelve members, including Dojin himself, gathered. The injured were healed with the power of the saint and Aram.

Although there was a consumption of physical and mental power, the party, who were in a state that was no different from when they entered the dungeon, became frantic in finding enemies hiding in this place.

“Shadow…”
“Ah, Eunha!”

At that time, Eunha, who passed out while fighting the fake Charlotte, woke up and opened her mouth. She remembered that Fake used the shadows that had been cast in her background as she healed her wounds her.

And he informed the party about it. Realizing that the fakes regenerated using shadows and that the dark shadows that obstruct the vision are not infinite, the party began to remove the shadows using their abilities.

“So—this is something that has substance, right?”
“If Deokgu had been there, I would have figured out what this was right away.”
“No, Master- there is no need for that. Even the small book is starting to have a rough idea of ​​what this is.”

Saying that, Ade Lange began to explain the unknown darkness that filled her floor.

“This is- a doppelganger.”
“A doppelganger?”
“Okay. He is a monster who transforms just like himself.”

Originally, it was not an existence that could be seen by so many people, and that it would not be possible to imitate the power of a god—— Aderange began to explain the characteristics of a doppelganger.

It was only then that the worst possibility flashed through Do-jin’s mind when he remembered what the enemies had done in the form of Seo-yoon and his party.

“… Adelange. Is that transformation possible at will?”

“Well—at least it’s only possible for someone I’ve seen with my own eyes.”

“Then…… For example, are you saying that a monster with my skills, Seoyoon’s or Aram’s abilities could come out of your body?”

“… Master, isn’t it ridiculous even if the owner said it? Could such a thing be possible—”

[This body appeared-★]

When Do-jin and Aderange were talking about the worst possible possibility—even a tiger appears when called—a dark shadow began to appear splendidly like a main character in a cartoon.

It drew the attention of the children at once and showed off its size as a house, reaching out to the children.

[And as soon as it appeared, Deluxe Bomber—!]

As he exaggeratedly stretched out his hand, tens of millions of volts of electricity gushed out of his palm. Raise’s specialty.

The moment she saw the lightning flash, Seoyoon stepped forward and created a giant ice pillar.

“Everything behind me!”

The children quickly moved behind Seoyoon, and the lightning that collided with the ice pillar with high resistance was released in all directions.

While waiting for the follow-up, Seoyoon felt strange about the attack that didn’t fly, and looked at the huge shadow that appeared in the distance.

The boy stood still and muttered something. The first to realize what it was were Rize and Maeve.

“Crazy, you use great magic alone?”
“Uh, uh— older sister. Isn’t that a big deal?!”

However, like two wizards skilled enough to become the owners of the Mage Tower, the two immediately took out their wands.

The cane he took out was inserted into the ground and the chant started. An incantation that took an excruciatingly long time, even though the intelligence staff aided most of it.

“Closed, closed, closed—complete containment in five repetitions—”
“መንገዳችንን ለመዝጋት እንቅፋት ይፍጠሩ!”

The two magic systems of different systems complement each other’s weaknesses, and an invincible barrier separating the dimensions is completed.

Almost at the same time, the shadow guy’s great magic was also completed.

[God’s Mace]

The sky opens
A blue sky full of clouds appears in a dungeon filled with darkness and shadows. Beyond that, the foot of a huge giant who can be called a god is thrust down.

The giant’s foot trampled on the barrier and pressed it down. Its enormous mass alone seemed to bend the space around it.

Dojin felt the gravity of the supermass and moved forward.

“—That’s also an issue.”

Infuse all the magic you have into the wooden sword.
He wields a wooden sword that emits sword energy with the force of a storm.
It was a distance that I couldn’t have reached before, but this wooden sword, which accepts magic as if it were my own body, was able to reach it.

The shadow, who was defenseless while chanting the great magic, was killed by the sword that cut through his body.

A fatal blow that cuts off the upper and lower body. A sword filled with divinity that goes beyond the main body and cuts down to the root. You won’t recover easily.

“End with this—.”
[This body, resurrection-revival!]

However, at the same time as one doppelganger fell——a doppelganger that looked just like the one who fell on the floor next to it was resurrected.

When Do-jin stared at him in an absurd situation, he burst into laughter and shouted.

[Immortal! Immortality! Hee hee hee hee! Main character power!]

Immortality means Aderange, and the main character’s power must be a copy of Dojin’s or Maeve’s ability.

Hearing that, Dojin let out a rejected laugh.

“Yes, this is your land, and you are the main character here, right?”

After all, even the mutt in the neighborhood eats half of it at home. That doppelgänger made this class entirely his own empire for ages long enough for the gods to go unnoticed.

Shadow empire.
This was the world he had created.

* * *

[Aggressor! Aggressor!]

Doppelganger King shouted and fired his magic his. Hundreds and thousands of spells kept popping into my head.

When he is alone, knowledge that he would never have imagined continues to spring up. It’s a very happy thing.

[Good night. Very good! Only like this is worthy of the name King!]

The doppelgänger King trembled in ecstasy. He now has the power to be worthy of the title of king.

With this much power, even the demon king is not afraid. Even in the yard where even the existence of the demon king was torn off and sealed——if he had only a shadow, he would be permanently resurrected.

He doesn’t die, but the demon king is dead. In other words, the demon king was under him.

[I am the demon king—!]

That’s why the doppelganger King declared so madly.
He actually thought so, and he was confident enough. Now that I have copied the abilities of all kinds of alien monsters and superhumans and become stronger—

“…… A demon king?”

However, he shouldn’t have said that.
Doppelganger King trembled as he felt the suddenly changed atmosphere of Dojin. Since there was no one who could surprise him now, he thought it was his fault and moved on.

In the next moment, Do-jin started emitting black energy from the wooden sword, just like he did before. Asking if it was the same attack as before, the Doppelganger King created a barrier against sword energy.

The doppelganger King, who created the magic to counter the sword, took his eyes off Dojin and focused his attention on the others.

[Ha ha! Die-!]

And then – the doppelganger King’s gaze turns to the little girl. A weak-willed girl who was almost killed by her doppelganger who removed parts of her body from her. But somehow I can’t take my eyes off her.

You’ll soon realize why.

[What-?]

A little girl sticks her hand through my heart. And grab your heart It was a sudden act of self-harm, but the doppelganger King immediately realizes the reason.

As the girl grabbed my heart, something grabbed the essence that serves as the heart of the Doppelganger King.

Sacrifice. A special curse that forces the enemy to sacrifice the same in exchange for one’s own sacrifice.

Surprised, Doppelganger King hides the location of his essence his.

“There you are.”

Do-jin, who was watching the scene, belatedly swings his sword. It is destined to be blocked by Do-jin’s black barrier, the barrier that blocks the sword.

However, the sword skill aims for the essence of the Doppelganger King beyond both barriers, as if there was no such thing as a barrier.

[Yes!]

The defense is late because it was not expected. The essence is extracted as it is. Geomki carries the essence to Do-jin without causing any harm to the essence.

Doppelganger King, who had been deprived of a part that was no different from his soul his, ran like crazy and reached out to Dojin. Seoyoon’s ice barrier blocked the front.

“Late.”
[Ah, no—!]

Do-jin broke the essence with strength in his hand. Doppelganger King struggled as he felt his roots his crumble.

Immortality? Immortal? If there is no original form to return to, none of that is meaningless. It just goes back to a handful of shadows.

If that’s the case, before I die, I’ll make at least one more companion—!

“Husband, earlier you asked how I defeated the enemy.”

The saintess, Iris, steps forward. She crossed her hands and prayed to her god. She doesn’t believe in God, but it didn’t matter too much.

The important thing is the act of prayer. The act becomes her trigger her, awakening her divine power within her.

“I did this.”

Pray.
To yourself.
The divine power filled within the saintess’ body was reconciled with light and radiated out.

[Kuuuuu!]

For a doppelganger made up of shadows and darkness, the light created by divine power is the poison of superlatives.

The darkness disappears one by one, and the Doppelganger King feels his body dissipate.

[Oh, no-! So vain!]

With a brief death sentence, the doppelganger King disappeared without even leaving a corpse behind.
