Chapter 153 – Episode 153 the Princess Trapped in Fate, the Iliad Princess (17)

The pope’s gigantic body flew through the sky.
A powerful jump that goes over the castle walls.
It flew so fast that it even chased after the dragon’s flight.
The reason why they recklessly attack without siege weapons is probably because of the Pope’s strength.

‘I don’t think there was a need for a siege tower or a siege tower.’

If the pope hit the wall, it would have collapsed.
However, this castle is not such an easy place.
It was a wall that could not be pierced with moderate power as the empire’s magic technology, the devil’s magic, and the elves’ secret skills were mixed.

Maybe even if I knock with all my might, it won’t break easily.

‘A foolish way to only believe in one’s own strength.’

But if he beats me, if he opens the door in the castle and leaves.
Those solid walls were meaningless.
So.

“Win.”

After that divine virtue, he beats the muscular man.

I pulled out the magic sword.

“Khaaaaa!!”

The holy sword of the Pope, shining with divine power, flew towards my throat.
Standard swordsmanship with no skill.
I hit his sword with my magic sword.

Kwaaaaang!!!

“Great!”

He had no more skill than Seiji, but he was more powerful than that.
The moment he returned the sword, his shoulder felt numb.

“It’s monstrous power.”
“That is what I want to say.”

Tendons protruded from the pope’s forehead.

A battle of strength and power.

Kagagagak!

Two holy swords and one magical sword collided and sparks flew.

“Is the demon king immune to divine power?”

Asked the pope, glaring at me.

“Well. Could it be that you are weak?”

Little provocation.

“Damn it!”

It worked.
The guy swung his sword once more.
A blow aimed at my chest.
The two holy swords drew a white trail.

Chaeeng!

I just repelled his attack.
It was strong, but simple.
Such an attack could have easily been stopped if there was enough strength to withstand it.

“Have you always dealt with people weaker than you? Monotonous.”

Provocation again.
The Pope’s sword aimed at my leg.
Sorry, but it doesn’t work.

It’s because I’m not weak enough for such a simple attack.

Momentum was equal.
Only if there is a difference.

‘Definitely annoying.’

It was that the divine power was eating away at my body bit by bit.
The skin gradually turned white.
The white scar exposed on the black skin was easily recognized even by the pope.

“For pretending to be strong, didn’t you get hurt sooner than you thought?”

He did not respond to the pope’s sneering remarks.

-Devil! I’ll help!
“Fray, you hide in the shadows. You cannot stand it.”

He told his subordinates never to get involved in this fight.
Except for Lucy and Europa, all of them were corrupted and corrupted by demonic energy. It means that it is vulnerable to divine power.
It was self-evident that if exposed to that strong power of the pope, it would surely disappear in an instant.
No matter how strong Frey is, the Vampire Lord.
If something goes wrong, she will not be able to endure it and will perish.

Lucy cannot withstand the Pope’s power. Rather, the common sense that Diana had changed was able to return to its original state.
Because Europa can’t attack the enemy first.

This Pope is to be held by me alone.

Wow!

I heard the sound of the Holy Church and the imperial army rushing.
They brought a ladder and a siege tower improvised with imperial alchemy.

‘I just have to hold out until the enemies are defeated.’

The Pope and I were roughly on the same level.
However, it was difficult to win because of the natural compatibility.
Even the opponent is a monster holding four holy swords.

“Huh! Give me my fiancé right now! Wicked Demon King!”
“A fiancee. You mean the emperor?”
“Yeah, son of a bitch.”
“I think he didn’t want to go back.”

Having said this, the pope swung his sword.

Quaang! Kwaaang! Wow!

A shockwave exploded whenever swords collided.
Houses and residences within the fort collapsed, and all sorts of dust and junk were scattered in all directions whenever the shockwaves exploded.
The imperial army trying to climb up the siege tower fell.
Improvised siege weapons collapsed.

It was a battle that split the sky and shook the earth.
The fight between the two beings far beyond the category of strength affected the siege every time they collided.
Either way, the two camps fought fiercely.

The demon king’s army is to protect the fortress.
Imperial forces to rescue the Emperor.
The Holy Church Nation Army is to destroy heretics.

Unlike the battle up there, even the despair was felt.

The war situation gradually began to favor the Demon King’s army.
The allied forces were poorly prepared for siege weapons.
It was a strategy to believe in the pope’s entry, but he was sold into a fight with the devil and was not seeing a big flow.
On the other hand, the Demon King’s army was gradually defeating the enemies with solid defense weapons and the performance of the officers of the Demon King’s army dispatched for each element.

“Die!”

Lucy’s sword pierced the Imperial Alchemist’s chest.
The holy knight of the Holy Church, who was commanding the scene, was crushed by Frederike.
Seiji’s holy demon sword split the siege tower with dozens of people in it.
Diana’s magic dropped a huge bundle of fireballs at the enemy’s rear.

However, the fight between the devil and the pope was a little different.

‘Shit.’

That divine power is very annoying.

I glared at the holy power burning around the pope.

“I never thought I would have to use this power to deal with you.”

Said the pope, who embraced white fire all over his body.
After wearing that divine power, his speed increased faster than before.
Am I receiving God’s blessing?

‘Erosion is faster.’

It was clear that it would collapse before long.
We need a workaround.

“Can I avoid this too?”

The Holy Sword of the Pope flew in an arc.
I managed to stop it with my sword.

“Aagh!”

Unable to withstand the force, I flew backwards.

My body is twitching.
I was exposed too much to divine power.

‘A crisis like this… Was it the first time?’

I’ve had many enemies as strong as the Pope, but this was the first time he’d pushed me like this.

“Whoa… It’s new.”

Throbbing.

My heart races.
I wanted to defeat that monster no matter what.

My strength is lacking right now, but it would be fun to overcome with that lack of strength.
Hasn’t it always been like that?
Playing this damn game, challenging the same scene over and over again.
The pleasure of beating an enemy stronger than me in any way.
I played this game because of that pleasure.
A game worth 1 point.

“Whoa…”

I closed my eyes while holding the magic sword.

“Are you giving up?”

Be careful.
The strategy that I ran into several times to learn how to attack the enemy was possible because I was a gamer who could challenge dozens of times.
But now, even a single failure leads to death.

I had to go as carefully as possible.

Unfortunately, I’ve never met such a muscular pope in game.
I don’t know if it’s because I cleared it with a bug.

So somehow I have to find his weakness this time.
I don’t have a weapon called buggy play.
Something more than that…

There was a familiar energy that entered my nerves as I closed my eyes and felt the pope’s breath.
Alas, yes.

As much as the bug was gone, a lot of subordinates followed me.
And.
Among them, he stands out the most in terms of fighting power.
Excluding Europa, he might be the strongest subordinate.

The kid was looking for an opening from behind.
The pope, glaring at me with a flash of light, didn’t seem to notice the child.

“Give up? Don’t fuck I didn’t even think about that.”
“Come on then. I will slit that blasphemous head of yours.”
“I get it.”

I held in my hand the demonic sword whose teeth had been knocked out due to clashing with the holy sword several times.
Even now, the guy who steals my demonic energy and pulls out the vicious energy.

‘This must be the last.’

I realized intuitively.
That this battle is the last of the demonic sword.
If so, at least let me face the end without regrets.

I grabbed my sword and ran.
It was a blow aimed at the Pope’s right flank.
I’m thinking of cutting him in half.
As expected, the Pope raised his holy sword and blocked my demonic sword.

Cooong!

“Kush!”

At my cry, Kush, the rabbit at the highest level, flew in and kicked the pope right in the side.

“Cuck!”

There was no bird to react.
The speed of the max level rabbit was that fast and accurate.
The Pope’s body was impaled against the wall.

“Kush, you helped the Demon King! Kush!”

He ran straight to the pope.
Finish before the durability of the dangerous magic sword is over.

“You son of a bitch!”

The pope screamed and stretched out his left hand.

Awesome!

The magic sword cut through the holy sword.
Could it be because of the very hard holy sword?
Originally, I had planned to slit his shoulders and cut his heart.

“Quaaaaagh!”

The demonic sword whose trajectory was distorted by the Holy Sword only cut off the left shoulder of the bastard.

Passasak.

The magic sword was shattered as it was.

“Turn it off!”

Pope stepped back, using his free hand to stop the bleeding on his left shoulder.
The bastard bleeds red blood.
He was a mad monster, but he was also human.

“Damn the devil! How cowardly are you inviting an outsider to the duel!”
“Are you serious?”
“Aaaaa!!!”

The Pope glared at me with a face boiling with rage.

“Huh! Ugh!”

The pope, who was glaring at me with a sigh, kicked his seat.
The one who soared high into the sky fled outside the castle walls.
I didn’t chase
No.
Couldn’t chase

Dump.

“Whoa.”

It was only after I confirmed that the guy had disappeared that I sat down.
He used all his energy to slash his arm.
Maybe if he tried to attack again, he’d be in trouble.
If it hadn’t been for Kushi’s help, he might have been killed in one blow earlier.
After all, it’s good to have a lot of subordinates who are capable.

Being the Demon King, he didn’t always have to handle everything alone.
Didn’t he stubbornly gather his subordinates to use it at a time like this?

My pride as the Demon King was hurt, but it’s okay.
Just attacking is enough.

“Demon King, are you okay? Kush?”
“Okay. Well done.”

I stroked Kushi’s hair.
It was nice to stroke the fluffy hair.

“Kush, can I help you?”
“Done. I can wake up alone.”

I had no intention of getting help with this.
My legs gave out and I was trembling.

“Wow!”

I heard the sound of enemies retreating.
Since the captain has been defeated, how can they hold on?

‘A division will occur.’

The Imperial Army must have lost trust in the Holy Church, as they believed in the Pope and fought but failed to achieve results.
The gap between the two forces.
You have to take advantage of that gap.

I saw the Pope’s severed left arm, the broken Holy Sword, and the intact Holy Sword that he hadn’t taken with him as he ran away in a hurry.
He burned the Pope’s left arm and the broken holy sword intact.
The broken holy sword had lost its power and was useless.
I held the remaining holy sword in my hand.
A large holy sword that he was holding in his right hand.
A greatsword that was 1 meter long and 40 centimeters long.

The feeling in the hand was quite heavy.
As a demon lord, the sword feels heavy. It would have been difficult for ordinary people to lift it with two hands.

‘You mean he fought with this one handed?’

“Awesome.”

It was an enemy, but it was a considerable force.
Of course, I won’t be able to use that power properly now.
He fled with one of his arms cut off.
If it still has the same power as before, then it must be a real monster.

I looked at the place where the pope had fled and imbued the holy sword in his hand with demonic energy.

Kagagagak!!!!

The holy sword began to twist with a loud noise.
He started to corrupt the Holy Sword using the trick that corrupted Seiji.

– Kikiiik!!!

I heard the terrible sound of the sword spirit screaming.
But it doesn’t matter.
No one will hear it but me.

‘Keep silent and follow me.’

Your master has already run away.

The holy sword Leverin, which is said to have been made from a meteorite that fell from the sky, became the sword of the demon king.

***

“It goes away.”

The princess of Iliad who was imprisoned in the dungeon muttered.

The voices of the Imperial Army and the Holy Religion Army grew distant.
It means that the Demon King has won.
The corners of her lips rose slightly.

“You won.”

Demon King’s victory.
That meant she had more time to still be herself.
And at the same time, it also meant that her emperor’s soul could be separated from her.

‘I said I lost my memory…’

It was said to be an unavoidable fatal side effect of surgery.
If you can’t remember the demon king.
If you can’t remember this grace you received from him.

“That doesn’t mean separating.”

I imagined losing all memories of the Demon King.

The transaction he conveyed to the demon lord and the various help he received.
Up to now, the Demon King was the benefactor of Princess Iliad.
Never to be forgotten
She was the one who gave her freedom.
But you forget that?
Should I forget?

“No.”

I can’t repay the help I received and I can’t forget it.
Furthermore.

“You didn’t even say thank you properly.”

She couldn’t even convey her heart.
When she thought that she might not be able to convey it for the rest of her life, tears flowed without her knowledge.

“Uh, huh?”

The Iliad wiped away the flowing tears.
But her tears continued to flow, and she began to weep as she knelt alone in her dungeon.

“Scared…”

To lose memory.
She fears that maybe she will forget herself entirely.
She started eating her bit by bit.

“Don’t cry. Crying like this is not like me.”

She was the one who desperately survived and endured in the imperial palace.
She was so helpless she had no intention of losing herself.

To not forget her memories.
Even if you forget, to remember.

I needed a strong memory that I will never forget.
A strong memory that can be recalled with a simple signal.

“Demon King…”

The first thing that came to mind was the Demon King.

And by the time she was organizing her thoughts.

The shouts of the demon king resounded in the prison.
