Chapter 82 – -81- Attack of the Demon King (4)

This monster was one and many.

To be precise, it was a collection of pieces of flesh forcibly joined together with magical imprints.

‘Does he have the skills to call himself a demon king…’

The owner of a book containing almost all knowledge about magic imprints. As befits a creation made by the devil, the engravings on the monster’s body boasted excellent perfection.

To the extent that the life that was forcibly connected does not collapse and remains intact.

Imprinted lives are intertwined with each other, supplying enormous magical energy. The result of the completed [Body strengthening using imprinting] Was the identity of the monstrous object in front of my eyes.

A monster that is terrifyingly hard, recovers from any wounds in an instant, and moves its massive body freely.

It was a great vitality on the same level as the dragon in mythology.

Inside, protected by layers of scales, I was able to follow the traces of the magical imprint.

“Did the disadvantage of being vulnerable to damage be solved by pushing all the engravings into the inside protected by the outer shell?”

It was a clue that I would not have picked up if not for my heightened senses. The question is, how can I use this…

“I’m sorry…!”

Time to think in front of a monster was a luxury. Even though it lost its leg, the monster, which did not have a fixed shape, freely changed its body and made a body suitable for the situation.

“You have to make a gap.”

The monster’s eyes were buried deep inside the body from the previous attack. Then how does the monster always find me?

The answer was hearing. In the direction where the rustling footsteps could be heard, an attack flew every time without exception.

He was a guy who was sometimes fooled by the illusion of the right temperature created by Bella, perhaps tracking heat.

“Bella! I’m going to frustrate him! Silence me with your psychokinesis!”

“Okay!”

In line with Bella’s gesture, the telekinesis created a soft barrier that blocked the vibrations of the surrounding air.

It must have felt like I had suddenly disappeared. It was a monster that brandished its tentacles in frustration, attacking the warm illusion created by Bella.

I approached the monster with tension inside the psychokinetic curtain that blocked the sound.

Unlike the dizzying landscape around where all sorts of destruction are taking place, the inside of the Yeomdong Curtain was so quiet that it gave a sense of incongruity.

Perhaps it was frustrating because he couldn’t feel me with his hearing, the monster swung its tentacles in all directions.

It was the guy who took out the damaged eyeballs again, as if he had reached a limit in giving up his sight and fighting.

The eyes of the guy who had been hiding deep inside popped out again. And what was caught in his field of vision was the tip of my knife aiming at the monster’s belly.

“Kieek! Kkeueek!”

He swung his greatsword as if cutting off his soft belly. The sword, whose cutting power was enhanced by containing the spirit, cut through the entire eye area and made a large hole.

The tentacle monster, whose eyes had been cut off, frantically searched for them. I carefully observed the “Inside” Of the distraught monster.

“Rion, that thing that destroys the eyes…!”

“I have something in mind”

It was a magical imprint that was so perfect that it felt artistic. If I figured out this structure… I could deal with that monster.

The flesh that fell to the ground and had the eyes embedded in it changed while falling and took on the shape of a starfish.

The wound I had pierced through the monster’s core was gradually healing, so I had to pull myself out.

The eyeball that fell to the ground crawled toward the main body in an instant. The monstrous creature, which became one body in an instant, attacked me with its tentacles.

The tentacle, which I tried to avoid in the same way as before, moved in an unexpected path and struck me.

“Cuck!”

“Leon!” I was hit with a meat mallet that was as heavy as several tens of kilos, and a sharp pain spread all over my body.

‘Damn it, cutting off tentacles in the middle…’

Like a lizard cutting off its own tail by contracting its muscles, it swung around and instantly separated parts of its body and fired as if it were shooting.

Maybe he wanted to bring my body back to his owner, but he desperately avoided attacking my head.

I suffered a painful blow, but the fact that you are still looking down on us

He restored his body to the point where he could move around with the ‘Lord of Words’, and held a great sword in his hand.

The greatsword, which had been heavily cracked, looked like it would break at any moment.

“Leon.” Bella looked at me with tears in her eyes.

“Even now, run away.

It was tempting for a moment, but it was an offer I couldn’t choose.

My mind was greedy, not wanting to let go of anything it thought was mine.

“It’s okay, trust me one more time.”

After hesitating, she applied a lot of auxiliary magic to my body and supported the battle in a safe place.

Transforms the greatsword and turns it into a lump of metal with something attached to the tip.

“Leon? What now…?” The broken iron is reborn as a new tool according to my will.

I charged at the monster with a porcelain etched with geometric patterns on the tip.

“Cheer up!” Without avoiding the tentacles that flew like a shot, he thrust his head into it.

When I thrust my head in without thinking about avoiding it, the monster flinched and reaped the attack.

‘He still thinks he has the upper hand…’

In order to take the corpse intact, the monster was considerate of its prey. And that will be the cause of the monster’s downfall.

Taking advantage of the gap, I dug in, and brought the iron to the section where the leg was cut off.

The wound, which had not yet fully recovered from the injury, was filled with soft flesh, not scales.

“Engrave!”

The pharynx was reddened by the language, and the magic stamp was engraved while giving off a savory smell of burning flesh.

The monster’s legs showed an immediate change as they began to be governed by the new [Magical Imprint].

Convulsing frantically, the monster howled in agony as the energies escaped like a broken dam.

The magic imprint I carved was a completely messed up structure.

Without looking inside, it would have been impossible to create an inscription that would fit the monster. Thanks to memorizing the art-like imprint on my belly, I was able to create a magic imprint that would destroy this monster.

It was a garbage imprint that only consumed mana like crazy and had no effect.

“Kkeek? Khuhuong?”

Blood and pus pour out from the engraved part.

A simple imprint that only consumes mana without any effect. That imprint was too fatal for the unclean life that was forced to live and breathe with the power of enormous magical power.

Moreover, the mana that was wasted in its simplest form began to consume energy by emitting heat.

The heat simmering from the inside began to burn the soft flesh covered in thick leather and scales from the inside.

As if he could no longer bear the unpleasant feeling of being sucked out of his magical energy, the monster boldly cut off the engraved part.

Unlike before, the cut flesh could not return to the main body, and rotted while wriggling on the ground.

I approached the monster writhing in pain again, and carved my mark once again on its soft belly.

“Engrave!”

As soon as the abnormal body part was cut off, the monster that was attacked again twisted its body and went mad.

Unlike before, the monster filled with rage attacked with violent movements, as if the corpse would be torn to pieces.

“Engrave!”


I narrowly avoid the attack to the point that my hair is cut off a little, and once again I carve my mark on the cut off part of my flesh.

Until his mana ran out, he continued to fight the monster with all his abilities.

After repeated engagements, the monster lost 70% of its body mass.

Unlike before, the monster’s scales, barely standing on its skinny limbs, were faded.

Burn marks and large bloody scars remained on the smooth leather.

Most of the sharp dagger-like teeth were broken, and even those that were intact were cracked.

But that was it.

Despite my struggles, it was the monster that stood last, not me.

“Shit…”

He lacked the magic power to feed the monster one last blow, a lethal one.

Just as I was about to make a last stand with my exhausted mana, Bella came up to me and said.

“Leon…”

Supporting me as I stumbled, she stared at me with her watery eyes.

“Ha, it seems that this is the end. One last shot is not enough.”

A fairly deep attachment was formed with her, who had been with her from the beginning of this world view of hers.

She did if she didn’t die.

Maybe, sacrificing her and running away would be a reasonable way to quickly finish her revenge… But she didn’t want to give up on her.

Then she said something I didn’t understand.

“Rion, is the spirit of the word the power to change reality?”

“…Yes”

“Tell me I can.”

“Yes?”

“I beg you, just this once…Trust me”

Her magic wouldn’t work on that monster… It was an irrational decision, but I decided to trust her.

Gathering up all the remaining mana, I was able to spit out a single word with my tongue.

“You can.”

With this amount of magical power, it shouldn’t be able to greatly harm the probability, but as soon as she heard my words, she seemed to feel at ease.

Flames swirl around her. Pierre-Jung’s magic circuit continues to overlap. Beyond the double, triple, and four layers of magic, it sways unsteadily.

Unable to follow with the naked eye, magical energy flew in all directions.

The unfixed magical energy flutters in all directions, sending out explosive sparks.

With a determined look on her face, she looked at the monster silently.

Could it be that he is trying to self-destruct with that monster? I stopped her by squeezing her muted voice.

“Stop, mother… It’s dangerous…!”

She smiled and told me.

“Rion said he could do it.”

Speaking as if declaring, she began to control the flames that ran wild. A great wave of red flame coalesced in her hand, forming a blue sun the size of her fist.

With her smile, the circuit that began to stabilize like a lie began to function even though it clearly exceeded the limits of her ability to control.

“Don’t bother my Leon”

She glared at the monster coldly, and threw the miraculously maintained magic bullet into the monster’s jaws.

As soon as it left her hand, the magic bullet became unstable and began to scatter destructive beams in all directions, exploding inside the monster’s mouth and announcing its end in splendor.

It seemed that the resistance maintained by the damaged magical imprint was meaningless. The miracle she created in her hands turned the monster’s place into her void.

“Hehe…I did it…”

In the place where the monster was, only the orange jewels that acted as eyes staggered down.
