chapter 47
47. duel (3)
●
If you think about it.
It makes no sense to descend the devil in this way on a subject who was not chosen by the devil in the first place.
Although he actually activated his spiritual skill, the color spread around him was not as clear as when Elnor had awakened the pieces inside. Originally, it would not be able to dwell in my body, and would be scattered around.
However.
<System Message>
[The ‘Seal of Fallen’ reacts. ]
[The energy of the devil gathers around the Seal of the Fallen. ]
okay. I knew it would be like this.
I don’t know exactly what role this Seal of Fallen plays. The explanation is also broken in the system window.
“…”
A bitter laugh comes out.
If you think about what role the ‘seals’ that demons leave on humans in the game play, it’s clear that this will have a big impact on me in some way in the future.
I don’t know, but it could affect my psyche as deeply as other demonic vessels with fragments planted in it.
But, right now.
Using this, I can imitate a bowl, even for a very short time.
“…”
The world slows down. It’s a similar phenomenon as before.
However, there is a clear difference from when he descended with Elnor as a medium.
At that time, if the entire world touched by the devil’s energy stopped moving, it is now moving, albeit slowly. To the extent that I can grasp it with my naked eyes.
‘…That’s why.’
smile bitterly
The gray devil’s basic ability, ‘Erosion’, is the ability to have absolute control over all spaces that its energy touches.
It’s an ability that must be activated even if it’s a bowl with only one piece.
Moving so slowly but obviously means that even with the help of the seal, I can’t perform even the most basic functions.
Even so.
At least vaguely, I see him.
A gray demon in the form of Elnor.
It is so faint that even the outline cannot be seen properly. It’s only natural that I’m not a perfect vessel.
Instead, thanks to that, the feeling of intimidation felt from that side is much less. If I thought I would die if I met my eyes before, now I can still endure it.
“…”
The guy who came down slowly from the sky approached me on foot without saying a word.
Still, it was clear that he had the same expressionless expression as Elnor.
Compared to the childlike reaction he had shown before, it was unmistakably foreign.
“…”
And when I see those red eyes going through the scars on my body, that feeling is reinforced.
It’s not just expressionless, so.
‘…Oh, I see.’
you’re going to get angry
The boy immediately stamped his feet and inflated his cheeks. My expression is still expressionless, but I am dissatisfied with the current situation! It must be a way to express that
It must mean where do you go and get hurt like this? It meant taking good care of your body.
“…”
It’s interesting.
Compared to other devils, this guy is unique in that he shows pure kindness even from a ‘human point of view’.
If it’s a poisonous type like the white devil or the blue devil, if I descend like this, there’s a high possibility that I’ll be arrested or imprisoned as I please, regardless of whether I’m injured or not.
Knowing that, I also believe in this guy to some extent and summon him.
‘…I couldn’t help it this time.’
In that sense, he smiles bitterly.
It is possible, albeit slowly, because time has not completely stopped.
“…”
The guy who saw my face stopped stamping his feet only then. The ball was still inflated.
And while maintaining that face, he walks a little further and approaches me. I reach out and touch my chest.
“Where Á¦ ÇÏ¿¡ go”
Soon, the mouth opens.
“Don’t get hit and go C¾ð¾î°¡UC¾.,̨̝̻̂̂̈́̾̀̃̐̒̀̕. Injury.”
“…”
okay. don’t mind
I never expected to hear such warm words from the devil.
Then, a soft light rose from my chest.
<System Message>
[A property is added to the demonic energy gathered in the ‘Seal of Fallen’. ]
[ While the energy stays, all of your physical abilities are greatly increased by the power of the ‘grey devil’. ]
[ All of your attacks are given an additional match advantage against ‘Holy Protection’. ]
“Give back ¾îÁ¦Ç as much as the right ¾î°¡U.”
…I guess that’s what the purpose of raising his physical ability was.
Well, enough to overflow.
You can tell just by looking at the feeling that comes from the power in my body right now.
Even if it’s this much, it’s clear that Klein will be able to slaughter in no time.
And just by giving it this, as if it had used up all the power it could manifest, its body began to crumble again and fly away.
“…”
As before, he smiled and opened his mouth again.
Her strength is exhausted to the point that she can’t even hear her voice anymore, but she can still read her lips.
‘I love you. See you later.’
It’s a familiar sentence.
This guy, the last time we met during the Purifier boss battle, he said this right before we parted ways.
and.
‘At that time. you.’
remember this too
But, this time.
‘With me, to the end of the world-‘
such a word
was added additionally.
●
“…what was it?”
Suddenly, those words flowed from Cline.
There is a feeling. Even now, my hands are shaking slightly.
It’s a fleeting moment, but something was here just a moment ago.
Something that evokes a visceral fear just by being close to it.
As proof of that, his whole body was drenched in cold sweat.
“Hmm.”
However, there is no gap to fall into there. A snort coming from the other side brought his consciousness back to reality.
He suddenly came to his senses, grabbed his sword again and took a stance.
“…”
His consciousness, seeing the other side, was flying into the air again.
Because there was Doud Campbell laying his weapon on the floor.
“…what are you doing?”
Are you willing to give up everything and face defeat?
Sudden abandonment of weapons?
“no.”
The other person answered in a flat voice. He frowns slightly while clenching his fists.
It’s like he’s not used to his own body.
And from that appearance, Klein instinctively noticed one thing.
this guy
Something has changed.
Compared to before, something is ‘inhabited’.
“I thought I would die in one hit if I used a sword.”
-!
And Daud’s lightly punched his fist, which immediately landed on Cline’s chin.
In other words, it was at the level of punching a fist. It was such an insincere move.
But, that alone.
“…!”
Unable to express his astonishment at the sight of the overlapping blessings breaking through like paper, Klein immediately let out an empty breath and stumbled backwards.
It’s hard to balance because of the symptoms of concussion, but soon another attack is flying.
Again, this is an insincere kick. It’s to the point where I feel like I’m really determined and put effort into it.
However.
“Cheuk-!”
Cline’s body flew like a ball with a bursting sound that was hard to believe was colliding with each other. A clot of blood spurted out of his mouth while rolling on the floor, leaving a long afterimage on the floor.
Even with that not-so-funny gesture, all the protections were broken through again, and even the ribs were broken. The scent of blood mingles with the breath as broken bones pierce the lungs.
Immediately, blood came up in his eyes.
“…this… worthless bastard…!”
I don’t know how it suddenly became this strong.
The situation is being watched directly by the law. I can’t show you this ugliness.
At the same time as he thought about it, the light emitted from the sacred letters surrounding his body grew stronger. First of all, play amplification.
The bones return to their original positions in an instant, breathing becomes stable, and the body is energized.
Then, all the blessings on his body are turned into one attribute.
‘…I never thought I’d use this!’
Immediately, white flames rose from his sword.
One of the offensive ‘miracles’ that can only be used by high-ranking combat priests.
“Aether fire?”
A disconcerting voice came from the other side.
“Hey, something useful for catching large monsters…”
Actually, this is only a casual duel, and it is absolutely not an ability that can be used against students.
A celestial flame that never goes out until the target dies or the striker extinguishes it voluntarily.
It is a skill that has a reputation for its viciousness and power among miracles that are said to be dozens of times more powerful than Divine Protection.
However.
“If you don’t kill me, that’s enough!”
The sword, imbued with white flames, rushed toward Daoud.
The purpose is not to kill, but to inflict terrible pain on the other side. I’d rather burn them alive until I beg them to kill me.
I thought so.
“Well.”
Until Dawood shrugged once, and casually threw a fist on the spot.
And that action alone.
The flames disappeared in an instant due to the wind raised by the fist.
“…”
Klein opened his mouth wide and looked at his sword.
It is normal for a combatant of that level to never make the basic mistake of losing focus during combat.
To put it bluntly, this must be more indecent than the bloody fall before.
At least in front of the emperor, he should never show it.
However, he was in such a state of shock that he couldn’t even pay attention to it now.
An offensive miracle that he, a high-ranking combat priest, had pulled out.
It’s like blowing on a candle and blowing it out.
“…This works too. What does match advantage mean?”
“You, you, what the hell are you doing…!”
He said it in a voice of surprise to the other party who spoke lightly, but before he finished the sentence, another fist landed on his chin.
This time, all protections are broken through, and consciousness becomes clouded again.
“Wow…!”
A few more attacks followed the body floating in the air.
A shot in the empty stomach. My body bends down as a memory and my knees are stuck in the face that came down. An additional straight line, like hitting a hammer into the reclining head, flew in.
“Kuk, heck…!”
All he can do is scream in pain as he takes all those blows.
In terms of technique, it is a movement that cannot be found at all. It’s just a normal person who’s had a bit of a fight.
However, I still can’t deal with it. can’t even react
It is in a state where it is possible to recover even a fatal serious injury by turning all protection to the regenerative ability, but even so, the speed at which it is healed far exceeds the speed at which it is injured. Even though the opponent is lightly attacking.
There is such an overwhelming power gap!
“Ah, I see.”
Daoud laughed and spoke.
“Didn’t I say that it was okay if I didn’t kill you?”
-!
-!!
the pain ensues
The nose bone is completely crushed. Red blood flowed from his nose and splattered in all directions. The next kick landed his head on a nearby wall. Gold like a spider’s web went to the place where they bumped into each other.
‘I’m playing with it…!’
If you want to knock it down, you could have knocked it down a long time ago.
There is such an overwhelming difference.
This isn’t even fighting in the first place.
The other person is crushing you like a bug!
“That, stop…!”
room again.
The regenerated and regrowthed teeth break and scatter in all directions without a gap to reposition.
Then one more room.
The fist that flew into the abdomen caused a clot of blood to rise from the esophagus.
Go on, be beaten like that.
To the point where puddles of blood pooled all over the stage. Beaten, beaten, beaten.
Finally, unable to hold back, he let out a scream.
“Stop, stop! I was wrong! now stop…!”
The will to fight has long since been lost. Being watched by the emperor was also a secondary issue.
It is more urgent to get rid of the pain that seems like your whole body is being torn apart!
And at the scream that threw away everything, including his pride, Daud paused for a moment.
“…!”
Maybe it really stops at these words. He looked at the other person with a slightly hopeful expression.
and.
I immediately had goose bumps running down my spine.
The other person’s eyes were filled with nothing.
While wielding such heated violence, calmly.
It’s like just doing ‘work’.
“Hmm.”
Rеаd at ոоbӏеmtӏ.соm
Just.
As if this level of suffering was natural for the ‘enemy’ he had judged.
The sentences that follow follow suit.
Still, it was a flat tone.
“no.”
The fist that flew towards his face again was the last thing he remembered.
●
what to do wrong
If that was the case, why not torture people alive from the start?
“…”
“…”
I stare at Klein limp after being punched, then glance around.
It was filled with suffocating silence.
It’s probably because the student at the academy shredded the high-ranking combat priest, but the power I just used must be the same.
Most people in this room would have noticed.
That what I just aroused was the ‘devil’s energy’.
‘It’s strange that I’m not shocked.’
He directly aroused, albeit briefly, the power of the devil, the strongest of them all, the gray devil.
According to the setup, there must be more than one or two groups that are salivating over this power.
However, it is natural for them to be surprised that I, who they had never thought of, is causing this energy.
Even while dealing with such abilities, unlike ordinary vessels, rather than losing consciousness and running amok, he maintains his reason intact.
If you look through history, it’s probably never happened.
‘…That’s because I’m not a real vessel.’
It’s just imitation. If it’s a vessel that skillfully handles demonic energy, this level of ability is just child’s play. All I can do is just show you a little taste of that part.
However, it is certain that he succeeded in implying the image of ‘a human being who can rationally control the devil’s power’ to all present.
That alone completely changes my position.
“…”
It’s a bit sad to say.
The support from the hegemonic powers that Atalante said, in fact, means that they will help the vessels function smoothly as consumables to manage. It is highly likely that he did not mean that he would support me physically and mentally.
They acknowledged my ‘need’, but they didn’t recognize my ‘value’.
But, just the way I showed you here.
A lot will change in the future.
“…”
As for how much.
enough to be able to do this.
“Huh… uh…”
He grabs Klein by the collar and pulls him up, who is spitting out words that have no meaning.
dragging it as it is.
Throw it into one of the audience seats.
-!
At the same time as Klein’s body flew away, a shallow scream flowed from the audience.
No one crashed into it.
Because the body was blocked by the ‘Divine Barrier’ created in the air while flying.
“…what is this?”
Saint Credo Paul II.
The emperor of the current generation, who would have crashed into Klein’s body if the holy barrier hadn’t happened, said that in an incoherent voice.
“You wouldn’t know if you saw it, His Holiness.”
smile and talk
“I’m going to mess with you right now.”
The mouths of everyone around them dropped open.
