Chapter 715
My spine was broken, my body was crushed, and my head was pierced.
If it was a normal opponent, that would have been instant death, but the Demon King, who had already been hacked to pieces by Cheryl and had a record of walking around fine, just looked at the sword that had pierced through his forehead and calmly analyzed the situation.
In fact, the demon king could not help but think that the object in front of him was something that was difficult to call a sword. It was so cracked that it looked like it would break at any moment, and it was clear that it was actually broken, so it was difficult to understand how it could still maintain its original shape.
So when a clear divine power flowed out from it, I had to frown and feel even more puzzled.
It is a holy sword that I don’t remember. Even the divine power felt within it is different.
‘Is there a famous knight from another religion here?’
If a paladin is permitted to possess a holy relic, he must be quite powerful.
The Demon King, who was unconsciously recalling his memories and searching for those who were worthy of the Holy Sword because he did not feel pain, belatedly came to his senses and tried to observe the Holy Sword more closely, but was unable to achieve his goal due to his vision suddenly spinning around.
This was because the force was strong enough to greatly bend the neck that was already broken along with the spine, and the Demon King who was caught in the sword was thrown far away. The Demon King, who was blown to the wall like a piece of luggage without even being able to resist in a floating feeling that made it impossible to even tell the direction, tried not to take his eyes off the opponent who attacked him even though he felt a slight dizziness.
The distance between where I was standing and the castle wall was not that close, so I expected that if I had enough force to throw a person without considering the distance, the pursuers would catch up quickly.
His prediction was not wrong, but···
“This little bastard·”
···It didn’t mean much because the other party approached at a much faster speed than expected.·
As soon as he straightened his rolled eyes, a knight wearing full armor and a helmet rushed up to his nose and swore at him with a sword that stabbed him in the heart.
Only then did the Demon King feel the divine power and magical power that the knight was wearing, and for the first time he was taken aback.
[A warrior···?]
Before I could even finish the words that came out of my mouth without me knowing, the sword the knight was holding poured out a dazzling light and an enormous amount of divine power.
“Este at maximum output”
There is no pain because he only borrowed Noi’s body. However, the unidentified sacred method used by the being that is clearly Eldmia is so powerful that it causes a crack in the influence of the evil god that has taken control of Noi’s body, and it tries to burn the body.
Eventually, the Demon King put down the relaxed attitude he had maintained until then, raised both hands, and focused on resisting the divine power that was bursting out.
At the same time, the divine power that was pouring down with the momentum to erase everything, even piercing through the castle walls, twisted like an hourglass centered around the Demon King.
-Kwaaaaah!
Unlike the light that made no sound, the force that pressed the divine power with a loud noise that seemed to suck in the air had no form.
Eldmia’s head tilted slightly to the side as she faced the sight.
“What the hell is this kid doing?”
[That’s what I wanted to ask.]
The Demon King, who burst into laughter at the fact that surprisingly, he felt the same way except that he didn’t feel any dignity, raised his right hand and pointed at Eldmia, asking again.
[Eldmia Ega, what are you?]
As the explosive divine power gradually subsided, I felt more relaxed.
At first glance, it seemed like he had completely overcome it, but that was not the case. No matter how much Noi Tanissa was a master-level talent, there was always a problem when he unleashed the power of the evil god without prior preparation, so the Demon King had to expend his power to keep Noi’s body intact and the connection unbroken.
The balance was just upset by a single blow, so there was no room for complacency.
[You are a being that should not exist]
If we can’t confirm the identity, we must kill him here to prevent further variables.
“I don’t know what kind of kid he is and I don’t know what he’s talking about, but…”
At that moment, the demon king was about to pour power into his outstretched hand, but the sword that had been emitting divine power until just now suddenly began to absorb power.
“I know you’re going to die here today.”
At the same time, an unidentifiable light leaks out from between the slits of the helmet, which are so dense that they are hard to see.
It was clearly divine power, but it was different from the white light pouring out of the sword. Even the divine power that the sword contained seemed a bit strange to say it was Ephaga’s, but the divine power flowing out of Eldmia was even more bizarre.
Was it because he noticed the change and took action at the same time? This time, the Demon King was faster than Eldmia.
[asleep·]
With that one word, the power of the evil gods gathered at the tip of the outstretched hand in an instant, causing a huge explosion and blowing Eldmia far away.
?
I could be sure
The blow I just received was the strongest attack I have ever received in my life.
Although it was only a single blow, it was a painful attack that made me think that I would have died instantly if I hadn’t had the Yonggap and Luming’s helmet.
As I flew across the garden in the aftermath of that shock, my second thought was one of wonder.
It is clear that it is a being that contains the remnants of an evil spirit. It is unknown why it maintains its normal form and sanity unlike other eroded beings, but this is also certain. However, I have no idea how it was able to explosively release more energy than the evil spirit energy it contained.
[Master! It’s okay···]
“Not yet!”
He answers while interrupting Este’s words, and as soon as he falls to the floor, he somehow tries to fall and regain his posture while clearing his head.
Now is not the time to feel it. It is time to accept that life is not an easy battle and do your best.
“Ephaga, please help this poor man heal people.”
The first thing to do was to heal the escorts and Cheryl. To do this, the raider, who was standing in front of the wall that had a clean hole in it, tried to emit divine power and waved his hand forward.
At that moment, the world that seemed like a magic city was shaken rapidly like marble, causing disgust.
The ground shook, the atmosphere was torn apart, and the natural objects that made up the surrounding area were destroyed. The violence that was committed purely by swinging divine power, not by any sacred law, was shot at me, causing serious damage that could not even be compared to the past when Demi-Lich stole the power of the mind.
Then, all of a sudden, the dirt floor rose upward, creating a huge wave.
It was Serta and the spirits.
-Kwarrrr!
The sound of the attacker’s powerful swing hitting the waves of dirt and stone was like that of an excavator.
However, as I said before, the spirits that continued to surge like waves were not pushed back at all and acted as an excellent breakwater, and thanks to them, I was able to complete the healing spell and bestow it on the escorts and Cheryl.
[Sorry I’m late, warrior.]
“No, I survived thanks to you”
Reflecting on the events of the Siege of Levien, I can guess that the reason he was late was not because he was lazy or delayed in his response, but because he was busy assessing the troops that could be deployed in the current situation and giving instructions.
Since I wasn’t so corrupted that I would ask someone like that why they were late, I took advantage of the small amount of time I had between the waves of dirt to check my equipment.
“I will deal with him. I ask you to guide and defend the wounded.”
[All right·]
I didn’t ask questions like whether the talks were going to continue or if there were any other orders, because I knew that the talks had to continue no matter what happened.
Otherwise, the purpose of showing that we are superior will be not only shaken to its roots, but will also be in jeopardy.
The raid can be of any scale, but it must not succeed.
Even if it was just for the sake of a meeting, there was no compromise since that son of a bitch blatantly defiled my beliefs.
“Eh Eldmia···”
As the spirits, presumably summoned by Serta, fought the attackers and bought time, the anger that had been building up gradually cooled down as soon as he heard Cheryl’s voice as she tried to get up, dragging her body, which was starting to get better little by little.
“Yeah, I’m here.”
“be careful···”
“Is it time for you to worry about me now?”
Cheryl’s condition was just as dire, if not better than that of the escorts.
How on earth did he fight and survive? His body was a mess, and the only thing that was intact was a few fingers. His face was extremely pale and haggard, as if he was going to die at any moment.
Even considering the attackers’ skills, it was a near-miraculous fight and survival… but that doesn’t mean I feel at ease.
“I’ve taken the holy grail, so things will get better little by little. They’re the same, so don’t worry too much. My···”
“They said it was the Demon King···”
“···what?”
“That guy wasn’t like that originally, but he became like that after eating something… Your guards heard his voice and said he was the Demon King…”
So please be careful.
Even though my body was not in good shape, Cheryl was genuinely worried about me and warned me…
···I think it will be difficult to follow that warning this time.·
