#95. 24. Karma girl (4)
Death Knight Lord Baros and King Lapisel of Siphras.
These two are almost equal.
If you look closely, Baros is slightly lower level than Lapiselle, but the difference is not that big.
However, the returned Baros has no Aura at all, but Lapiselle has purple-level fighting spirit.
Where on earth did you get that aura?
There is no way a thirteen or fourteen year old child could have trained himself to achieve this.
It’s not like the future her would have brought it with her. Speculation is not something that belongs to the soul.
If that were possible, Baros would have returned to this era with all of his vast dark speculation intact.
The answer is simple.
“It’s the power of the magic sword.”
The Demon Sword Mareda controls its host, cuts down humans, and sucks their vital energy. It then sends that power back to the host, making it stronger and allowing it to cut down more humans.
“It’s like converting the lifeblood of a dead human into the dark aura of the host.”
In other words, the aura currently wielded by Lapiselle is all an evil energy infused by the magic sword.
This is where her genius comes in, as she breaks the dominance of the Demon Sword and transforms the Dark Speculation into her own aura.
Even though I’m out of my mind.
“Of course, it’s not power that you’ve built up yourself, so once you use it up, you can’t refill it, but for now, you can use it like Lapiselle’s own aura. That’s why it has that kind of power.”
Serati sighed at Karnak’s explanation.
I could guess what he was trying to say.
So, if Baros can use Aura, he can fight Lapiselle too?
“Are you telling me to give my body to Sir Baros again?”
Somehow this time her guess was wrong.
“It’s no use.”
Baros shook his head.
Even if he took over Serati’s body, he still had no chance of winning.
“The physical gap is too big.”
At that moment, Serati flared up.
“Am I that low level?”
Honestly, it’s hard to believe.
Even if the opponent is a genius who will become the future martial arts king, right now, she is just a teenage girl who has not trained. And Serati, who is in her 20s and has been training steadily, is not even that good?
“That’s not it. No matter how accustomed I am to handling other people’s bodies, it’s not better than handling my own body.”
“ah…….”
I understand.
If you are a player of the same level of skill, victory or defeat can be determined by whether or not you are familiar with the weapon. How much worse would it be if that weapon were physical?
“Then what do you want me to do?”
“As the master said, the answer is simple.”
With a somewhat uncertain expression, Baros looked across the basin.
“You’re telling me to go secretly and pick up the magic sword and try using it, right?”
***
Remembering his conversation with Serati, Baros glared at the two-handed sword in front of him.
The Demon Sword Mareda is bound in magical chains and emits a strange sword name.
Woof woof woof… … .
Baros’s face hardened slightly.
‘Can you hold out?’
But there was no other choice left. Now the only thing I could trust was this magic sword.
No, to be exact, this is the only way to overcome this difficulty while living like a human being.
If you plan on living like before, there are a lot of things you can do differently, right?
“Okay, let’s go!”
Baros stretched out his hand, steeling his resolve.
Thick fingers gripped the hilt of Mareda’s sword.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Black flames rise up and fill my eyes. Murder and madness overflow, eating away at my mind.
“You insignificant human being… … .”
A thunderous voice echoes in my ears.
“Accept the rule of darkness!”
Immediately afterwards, a desperate scream rang out.
“Eww!”
***
Terrible evil spirits that take life upon touching fly through the air.
Black shadows, imbued with the power of destruction that can even split rocks, race across the land.
“Kyaaaaah!”
“Kuaaaah!”
The evil spirits continued to attack, screaming.
The entire basin was seething with evil power.
Yet, Lapiselle still remained unscathed.
“Karnak… … .”
He swings his sword with a low hum.
A purple aura transforms into a giant blade that slashes through the air.

A single Wraith, a powerful evil spirit that would require the mobilization of an entire temple unit, is slain by nearly a dozen of them at once.
“Karnak… … .”
Take a step forward and dig into the crowd of shadows.
Aura waves spread out in all directions. Light erases shadows and ripples of light shake the earth.
After opening the way, Lapiselle flew away.
“… … Karnak!”
The goal was to cut down the evil spirits and cut off the sorcerer’s head in one breath.
Serati hurriedly raised her sword to block the attack.
“Eight!”
The impact of the clash of swords pierced through my entire body.
Serati frowned in pain.
‘Ah, ugh!’
But this time it didn’t blow up miserably.
The Hell Armor summoned from Gehenna deployed its shadow shield just in time to block the remaining impact.
Even in her pain, Serati was secretly amazed.
‘Wow, I can stop this… … .’
I once again realize how powerful necromancy is.
The problem is, the more this happens, the more I realize how strong that girl named Lapiselle is!
“The vassals of hell!”
Raphicel stretched out his left hand, growling like an animal.
A purple aura flashed and struck Serati’s abdomen.
“Koo, kuluck!”
It was a shock that felt like his entire body was turned inside out. Cerati fell to the floor again, spitting out blood.
“Ugh… … .”
Even while groaning, I find myself once again admiring the other person.
‘It is said that Aura users who have reached the realm can send their arrows flying far away as if they were magic or arrows… … .’
However, thanks to Serati’s struggle, the evil spirits were able to block Lapiselle’s path once again.
Lapiselle, who was unable to aim for Karnak, let out a cry of rage.
“Eww!”
The graceful sword dance continues like a goddess. The evil spirits gradually melt away.
In the meantime, whenever the opportunity arises, they aim for Karnak.
“Commander King!”
There was a brief gap in the demons’ encirclement. Lapiselle, who had escaped, swung her sword long.
“oh!”
This time, Serati was unable to stop it.
The sword light, like a flash of lightning, cut off Karnak’s head with precision.
She opened her mouth in surprise.
‘Lord Karnak?’
Fortunately, Karnak’s head did not fall off.
There was no blood flow. It just disappeared completely.
It was a hallucination.
Several Karnaks appeared one by one here and there in the basin.
“Ugh… … .”
“I almost died… … .”
“It was good that I prepared… … .”
Fortunately, Lapiselle is still not in her right mind. This means that she is easily seduced.
And when it comes to illusions, hallucinations, and enchantments, Karnak is an expert!
The welcome of Karnak opened its mouths in unison.
“ruler.”
“Now let’s just keep going like this until Baros comes.”
“Just wait!”
The three Karnaks who had been chattering away were cut down by a purple aura.
“Karnak… … .”
When it became unclear who was real, Lapiselle came up with a very simple answer.
“Kill them all!”
Aura waves shot out in all directions.
“here?”
The ring of destruction causes waves to form across the land, sweeping all the way to Karnak.
“here?”
Explosions continue in all directions.
“here?”
What was surprising was that even in the midst of all this, the fallen King’s Order agents were being taken care of thoroughly.
If by chance the aura accidentally splashes in that direction, you have to forcibly change the direction of the attack to make sure you are never caught in the explosion.
Serati was secretly impressed.
‘Even if you’re out of your mind, you can do that… … .’
Even though they are enemies, they are respectable.
How righteous a hero must he be to do something like that?
‘Compared to that, this author is really… … .’
Serati looked back at Karnak with pitiful eyes.
The master of her soul was hiding in the safest possible place.
Where are you?
Crouching behind the fallen King’s Order agent.
They are thoroughly exploiting the enemy’s goodwill and using their allies as meat shields.
“… … .”
[What? Why? Don’t I have to live too?]
Judging from the way she blushes, it seems she knows she is embarrassed too.
Anyway, the welcoming spell was working quite well for Lapiselle.
The purple sword continues to attack the illusion, and Karnak continues to create new hallucinations to endure them.
But even so, it was only a temporary measure. When the magic power eventually ran out, the result was obvious.
Karnak muttered anxiously as he continued to perform his welcoming ritual.
‘Oh my, Baros, come quickly. Before I die… … .’
Serati asked as if complaining.
[When on earth do you use all your strength?]
As Karnak explained, Lapiselle’s aura cannot be added anymore once the blood infused by the magic sword has been used up.
But somehow, there is no sign of weakness at all.
It was a difficult thing to understand.
Didn’t the King’s Order fight so hard to exhaust all their power?
[Was it really that we didn’t use up our strength properly?]
Karnak responded weakly.
[That’s a loss of strength… … .]
It’s true that I’ve exhausted myself, it’s true that I’m tired, and it’s true that my reserves of aura have run out.
In reality, they are running wild in a near-death state.
[Is the state of death really like that?]
[huh.]
[shit…….]
Lapiselle became even more violent as she appeared too vividly to be a corpse.
They scatter their swords in all directions, and create chaos with explosions, smoke, evil spirits, and illusions.
“… … Commander!”
Karnak broke out in a cold sweat.
Although he had improved a lot compared to before, his commanding power was still not that high. His strength was slowly reaching its limit.
[Is this the end of acting like a human being? Should I live like I used to?]
Serati said, looking bewildered.
[Are you saying that you’ve been acting like a human being up until now?]
They are very determined to use their powers of sorcery, and there are evil spirits everywhere, and the dark energy is seething, making it look like the middle of hell.
‘But you’re saying you can be more evil here?’
It seemed possible.
[The 1st and 7th battalions are both down.]
There are so many people who have gathered for justice and honor. Even the 7th Battalion has deep trust and affection for Karnak.
[If you kill them all and gather their souls, you can easily deal with them… … .]
[Yes, it seems like you’ve been fighting like a human being up until now.]
Oh my goodness, I’ve never even thought of such a wicked idea. It’s beyond my imagination.
Well, Karnak didn’t have the heart to do that either.
[I know, I know it’s something I shouldn’t do. But if things continue like this, there’s no solution… ]
It was during that time.
Suddenly, Lapiselle stopped moving.
“… … .”
He turns around with a blank expression on his face and then hurriedly flies away.
Her small new figure glides through the darkness in an instant.
At the same time, rain fell from the sky.
It was a torrential downpour of sharp, reddish light. Dozens of blood swords poured down.
Kwakwakwakwakwang!
A man appeared with a merciless carpet bombing.
He was a large knight with a crimson aura hanging down behind his back and holding a huge double-edged sword in one hand.
“Is everyone alive? I’m not too late, am I?”
Serati exclaimed with delight.
“Sir Baros!”
