Chapter 157 – Artificial Demon -3-

Wizards with various attributes and their own magic and applications.

Magic is developing every second, for some for the convenience of daily life, for someone for victory in war, and for someone for pure academic reasons.

Hard facts that no one can refute.

When wizards of the same level meet, nothing surpasses black magic in killing and destructive power.

Not just using mana or legal catalysts.

Black magic, which is formed by sacrificing living creatures or spirits in the basic composition of magic, has destructive power that exceeds the user’s capacity by at least one square.

– O sinful darkness. Deep and dark…

The black magic chanted by the devil is I’m’s torch.

The advantage is that it fires immediately after casting without a flying projectile.

It is a high-level black magic that causes a wide explosion from the ground.

There are a few warlocks that actually use it in the game.

‘How do I do this…’

From the moment I heard the chant heard in the air, the number of cases was listed.

Will you try to attack by simply breaking through with a body that has resistance?

It’s usually the preferred method, but dismissed. Rike told me not to get hurt as much as possible when I left the church.

Then, in this battle, it was decided to evade or defend.

It just happened to remind me of one of the things I had done with Gleipnir.

– I’m’s torch.

After casting, Jin was engraved on the floor.

Tuquaaang!!!

A gigantic explosion that even a weak creature called a human could not survive.

The destructive power that turned the ground upside down and made the night lively was perfect and satisfactory even to the devil himself.

Koo Goo!

Let’s land on the ground that has become a mess with black magic, a long-term talent from birth.

I was soaked in joy as I felt the sacrifice of the soul that was weakly charged, as if I had neatly wiped out even the creatures hiding in the alley or barely breathing.

The flames of the severed arm had also disappeared, and it continued to regenerate slowly but surely.

“Greuk…”

The appearance of a man who cannot be seen even with one eye.

The devil drools and laughs

“Mhehahaha!! This body is the body that will stand at the top of all living things!!!”

It’s a pity that you can’t consume a special corpse, but that’s just a matter of finding a special creature again from now on.

Cheol-!

“Bastard… I envy you. That confidence.”

The demon’s expression twisted grotesquely at the sight of the chains around his own neck.

Even an ugly face without a shell can perfectly capture emotions.

“…How! How…!”

“I want to know?”

Good! Good!

I moved closer, shaking the chain around my hand.

I’m’s Torch is a magic that expels mana upward from the ground where the magic circle is engraved and explodes.

As usual, I made a round sphere that covers my body with mana.

Gleipnir was extracted from it, wound along its trajectory, and fixed in shape.

It was like being an armadillo.

It was impromptu, but my hair turned quickly as if I had been waiting for the day, and the result was perfect.

‘I’m sure I could have survived without any problems at this level?’

In case the aftermath of the explosion would be crazy, it even caused white flames and wrapped mana thickly around the body to fully deploy and endure, and the aftermath passed without a single major wound.

“Little bird. Star of Decarabia—-“

Roaring!

When he pulled the chain around the demon’s neck to chant a high-level spell again, white flames broke out and melted the demon’s neck muscles.

“The bastard looks at people very favorably.”

“Mgaaaaagh…!”

He started flames with his regenerated hand, trying to somehow break free of the chains entangling with his muscles and digging into his neck.

Nothing is easier to throw off balance than an opponent writhing in pain.

Baek! Puck!

The beating continues so that the chain that is gradually tightening the neck cannot be released.

This devil’s longing for victory and his miasma were not common in that he did not give up his eyes and face even though he was beaten insanely.

Whoa-! Ugh!

As the devil’s own solution, he tried to push back the white flame by focusing mana on his neck, but the superiority of the match is not so easily overturned.

In the end, giving up his proper chant, the demon fired one after another at close range with black magic that could be fired with a single word of his own language.

–■·· ■··!!

“Die…! Die…! Die!!!”

As the one-shot chanting continued, black smoke billowed from my body and black magic exploded.

-■! ■··!

Chow ah

My body, which was light compared to the devil’s, was pushed back with the explosion, but the taut chains stopped me.

Phew!

After shortening the chain by wrapping it more tightly around the arm.

Kicking off the ground, he rushed in and hit the abdomen with his fist, and the demon’s body lifted slightly and then came down with Pagongseong.

“Keep it off…”

“Whoa! If I pushed it away, it would be more painful because I would be strangled? Shoot again.”

The intensity of the fists and kicks became stronger with the notification that the Blood Demon was activated.

-■!!!

It pours violence on the demon’s body while being hit by the black magic that fires continuously as if desperate.

“You die, you idiot!”

In any case, the goal was to win without getting hurt, just like Rike said.

As fear began to be read from the demon’s one eye and actions, they changed their methods and thoughts and fixed each other with Gleipnir.

In this way, avoiding each other is almost impossible.

It won’t be solved until I, who controls Gleipnir, makes a mistake or dies.

From my point of view, single-shot black magic is hard to avoid, and magic that leads to chanting must be cut off unconditionally.

Conversely, the devil must kill me before the violence of the white flame completely drains his regenerative powers.

‘This guy might run away again.’

He had a criminal record in the first place, so he could relate.

There is no adventurer who believes in the devil’s words that he will not run away anymore.

‘Definitely kill me on the spot.’

In order to shorten the time, he did not resort to unreasonable gambling such as reusing Rakshasa, which consumes a lot of mana.

The demons that appeared by contract with the black magicians also use black magic by using the souls they have harvested or the things they have received as sacrifices when they descend to the present world, so their opponents will not deviate from that providence.

If you cut and sharpen surely and steadily, the answer will come out unconditionally.

Compared to the time when he was fighting with a demon in the shape of a wolf, his compatibility is completely reversed.

What if you met a devil like this when you were living only with pure strength?

It may not have been possible to guarantee victory or defeat due to the same attack in a row based on regeneration beyond classics, but it is different now.

‘The limits of sacrifice and regeneration must come.’

Could it be that the people in the back alleys who ate on the way were piled up as sacrifices?

Or, I don’t know if there is a certain amount of sacrifices that I originally had, but if the battle continues like this, the ceiling is visible.

It will also be used to regenerate the body.

Wounds caused by white flames will require more mana and sacrifices to regenerate than wounds caused by normal auras, such as those inflicted by sexual magic.

“Huh!”

Baba Park-!!

The devil’s face opened after beating only the stomach and abdomen along the midline of the body.

As the uppercut landed properly on the jaw, the jaw was crushed and the tongue that had been flying for a long time was chewed and cut into chunks.

“Opera…”

Let the devil’s head, kneeling in pain, take its proper place.

Grabbing both horns, I slammed my knees into One Eye.

Pujik!

Although the eyeballs burst out with a watery sound.

It seems that only the eyes are extremely important, and even though white flames have dug in, they overreact and regenerate quickly.

An eyeball the size of my head regenerated and our eyes met, I asked with a smile.

“Patience fight. Isn’t it fun?”

“Aaah!!!”

It looks like he is trying to shake off the emotions that are directly related to the defeat that accumulates in his heart.

The demon screamed and raised the greatsword that had been abandoned on the ground.

*****

Due to the situation, Eclair, who was faster than Magella, ran while holding her saintess.

Magella was sure that the choice was not wrong because she was so overwhelmed that her breathing was disturbed just by following her running eclair holding her saintess.

-Kyaaaaagh!! Skeleton…!
-Mom!!
…

Upon receiving an urgent call and arriving at the church in the downtown area of ​​the capital, it is truly a mess.

People’s screams and the undead’s sloppy screams were mixed together, and he was distracted.

A paladin to the priests of the Order.

The guards from the empire and the knights belonging to the guards.

Although there are urgently wanted adventurers working together to block it.

The pouring quantity of undead was like a wave.

They were insignificant undead that would perish even with an ordinary blow.

It’s dangerous for the general public and there are so many of them that it’s hard for even those who make combat their business.

-Geuh!! Guak!
-Kurrureu…

A large number of undead, squeezed and squeezed by each other in the dark alley, clearly showed that there was a problem in the capital of the empire, leaving the danger.

When Éclair dropped her saintess at the entrance of the church, she took a look around her with her serious face and began to command her.

“What the hell is this… Magella!”

“Yes!”

“Mazzella and I are exploring the source of the ominousness. Until we figure out the cause, prevent casualties and focus on recovering the injured! We’ll put a dustproof fence on the entrance of the alley and hold on!”

“All right!”

Even a veteran who has gone through all the battles in childbirth is embarrassed even for a short moment when faced with a situation that he could not even have imagined.

Although it was an eclair, it was determined that her duties would end the moment the saintess left.

There was a problem in the capital, so I had to accompany him.

The moment she saw the war situation in the capital, which was in a mess beyond her expectations, her brother came to her mind before the safety of the empire.

‘Chloe…? Are you still with Roman? I’m sure it is?’

Please.

If that’s the case, I’m more relieved than anything, but it’s practically too late to be sure.

There is no guarantee that only Roman, who lives on the outskirts, knows about this problem.

Eclair, who had been freed from the saintess’s escort, turned his feet away from the church and tried to move to the mansion.

“Oh, sister…!”

A familiar voice cut through the hustle and bustle.

I wondered if it was an hallucination, but the sound was so clear that Eclair’s eyes returned to the inside of the church.

“Chloe!”

The moment Eclair saw that his brother was there, goosebumps ran through his body and he felt a deep sense of relief and joy.

Éclair sighed in relief as she strode into the church ignoring the gaze of others and hugged Chloe tightly.

“I’m glad. I’m really glad…”

“My older sister… Older brother than me… Older brother…!!”

Chloe, who looked around her and stomped her feet, kept her voice down as much as possible because it was a matter that could not be taken carelessly.

It was filled with urgency that seemed to overflow right away.

“It’s okay, so tell me slowly. What happened?”

“Don’t try to protect me, you got hit with magic instead…! I said it was fine…!”

“Hmm··.”

Eclair drooled with a serious expression when he heard that Roman had been enchanted.

“He told me to wait here and then went somewhere…!”

With tears in her eyes and a watery voice, Chloe spewed out fragmentary words and information.

‘Right. Did Roman bring Chloe to the church?’

To be honest, I was worried about Roman because I couldn’t see the situation, but the first priority was to calm Chloe down.

I wanted to hear the details of the story that seemed to be related to the events taking place outside, but it was absolutely impossible in this state.

“He’s an honest man who says it hurts when it hurts and says it’s fine when it’s okay. If he says it’s okay, it’s really okay, so don’t worry.”

“Huh…! Ugh…”

In the end, he is patting and wiping the eyes of his younger sister who is unable to hold back and shedding tears.

I met eyes with Rike, who was sitting on a chair in the church in the distance.

‘Okay. That’s right…’

It must have been a really inevitable and unavoidable decision for Romando to have Ricke and Chloe meet like this.

I think I will have many things to say to Chloe after this job is over.

“Wait here. I’ll go and search.”

Although Chloe couldn’t possibly tolerate her sister heading into a dangerous place from the look on her face and the look on her face.

After many thoughts, I slowly let go of the body of Eclair that I was holding tightly.

“…Sister. You have to be careful.”

“As long as Chloe is safe here, I can move freely and safely. So be careful.”

“Huh··.”

Watching Chloe return to the chair Rike was sitting on, Éclair, who exchanged simple gestures and intentions with her eyes, turned his body and moved his feet.

Jerebuck-

Eclair, who came out of the church, approached the saintess and Magella, who were about to head to the heart of the ominous after finishing his rough command.

“Saintess. I will accompany you.”
