182. Irregular (3)
The fortified city, which seemed like an iron fortress, was in a half-destroyed state.
「The labyrinth achievement ‘Epic’ has been completed.」
「You will get +10 labyrinth points.」
Dense graphite scattered all over the city like black paint dissolved in water… … .
“Aaaah… … ! Jae, can’t play… … ! My, damn it! Why did the ability to regenerate suddenly disappear!?”
“Kuh! There is an ability to block regeneration out there! retreat! Bring reinforcements to win!”
“What, what… … . That crazy monster… … . There’s no way you can beat something like that… … .”
The demons, such as vampires or werewolves, howled in pain and began to retreat.
Seeing that gruesome sight, I licked my lips.
‘It’s a bit unfortunate.’
It wouldn’t have turned out like this if there had been a magical quality of the lightning attribute that had been awakened in the tower before.
Perhaps the dark red thunder destroyed the city a little more.
However, in the present situation, where there is a need to conserve magic power to some extent, this is the best.
There is a limit to increasing the output range with Sword Flame, and the Destructive skill is to increase the destructive ability rather than the output range in the first place… … .
Couldn’t have done better than this.
‘Unfortunately, I have no choice but to quickly go to the Dark Lord.’
Even with the Guardian skill he used to protect his teammates, his mana is already being cut into chunks.
It’s only thanks to the conversion of the demonic energy used by the enemies into magical power that I can be fine like this.
But even this doesn’t last long.
「You have absorbed the spirit of the vampire ‘Rignar’.」
「Skill increases by 1.7%.」
“I absorbed the spirit of the werewolf ‘Mirne’… … .」
“Skill increases by 1.1%… … .」
“Absorbing the spirit of ‘Rignar’, a group of panwings… … .」
「Skill increased by 1.4%… … .」
so… … .
「Replenishes magic power by using multiple spirits.」
First of all, it was an intention to absorb the spirits of the dead enemies and endure this crazy consumption of mana.
‘Even if the spirit is consumed, the magic must remain intact.’
Otherwise, you won’t be able to deal with a strong enemy like the dark lord.
Hung-!
I immediately kicked off the ground and moved to the fort in the center of the fortified city by applying the technique of walking in the air.
It didn’t take long.
There is no one to stop me until reinforcements are called by the demons.
good.
Landing on the roof of the fort, I found an entrance to the inside of the fort… … .
“Isn’t there a road this way…?” … .”
Unfortunately, there was no way to get right into the fort.
Well, it didn’t matter anyway, since there was no road, you could smash the ceiling and go down.
however.
“uh?”
uh… … !
「All damage to the fort is reduced by 68% due to the special power ‘Dark Barrier’.」
As expected, the ceiling of the citadel could not be broken easily.
“Damage mitigation… … .”
It’s an incredibly good power.
‘He bothered me.’
I was going to go the other way because I was sure it would be annoying going in through the front door… … .
As if he knew this would happen, the fort was equipped with ridiculous defenses called damage reduction.
Most likely, they will not be able to break through this defense and will be reinforced.
but… … .
「The skill ‘Pacheon 破天’ is activated.」
I had the ability to break through this crazy power.
Well, since it’s ignoring powers like damage reduction, the amount of mana consumed by breaking down is huge, but… … .
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
In return, they did not have to go through any more difficulties to open the way into the inside of the citadel.
‘You did a good job restoring Pacheon.’
Satisfied with that, I fell to the hollowed-out ceiling of the fort… … .
“Well, who are you… … ?”
Then, in a seat like a throne, I was able to face a demon with wolf ears that gave me a decadent feeling.
“You can rest assured.”
I said with a smile to the dark lord, who seemed to have no idea what the situation was.
“It’s just a good challenger passing by.”
It’s just a good robber passing by, so don’t worry.

It was only for a moment that there was stillness.
The dark lord looked at me with a bewildered face and then said something dumbfounded.
“Crazy… … .”
I’ve heard it so often lately that I wasn’t very impressed.
“I knew that challengers had come to the city for the first time in decades, but this is more serious than I thought.”
Suddenly, the dark lord’s face was full of anger.
“I’m sure you said you’d let me go downstairs if you gave me the price?”
It was as if we could coexist with each other, but the tone was that I ruined this relationship with my greed.
‘Yeah, I sure did say that.’
But this was something I could refute as well.
“I don’t know what to believe and give the demon a price.”
“… … .”
“After extorting all the main weapons, you can attack us without accepting the deal.”
“… … Even if I offered an item, I didn’t expect much, and I was willing to accept even a small item.”
“really?”
“okay! Just one item! But where is the guy who attacks the citadel with it like this!”
“hmm… … .”
“Even the challengers from a few decades ago did not commit such tyranny! Do you even think of proud demons as vulgar monsters… … !”
I cut off the dark lord’s words before they continued and I let out a sneer.
“A proud demon?”
Even if he misunderstood something, it was as if he was firmly mistaken.
“No way.”
That would be too… … .
“There is no such thing as pride among demons, right?”
The dark lord did not know that among the demons there were no proud people and no good people.
However, the Dark Lord could not accept the reality even if he kindly informed him about the demons.
“I’ve met many challengers so far, but I’m new to a madman like you.”
“Is that so.”
“So Jim will do everything in his power to prevent someone like you from installing more.”
“I will fight with all my might, la… … .”
At that, I smiled.
“It’s nice to hear that.”
That would be too… … .
「Myth <Reversal Hero> is activated.」
「All stats increase by +17.」
「The special buff <Purifying Light> is activated.」
「Increases damage dealt to evil beings by 100%.」
If that side comes with all their might, I can become stronger too.
***
Immediately after activating the <Reversal Hero>, demonic energy suddenly began to flow over the dark lord.
Coo-gu-gu-!
Let the dark lord’s magic, which has been well-preserved, fill the hall in an instant… … .
“For the sake of the future of the demons, I will eradicate the seeds of evil right here… … !”
For some reason, black spheres appeared around the dark lord, who was filled with determination.
‘What is that?’
The black orb that hovered around him was more threatening than the demonic energy felt by the dark lord.
Seeing that it is not made of demonic energy, it seems to be a special power… … .
‘I need to be careful.’
First of all, rather than launching a preemptive strike from this side, it seemed that we should know how strong the opponent was.
Only then will we know how dangerous that black orb can be.
However, the other party did not use their hands directly, as if they had noticed such an intention.
Whoa!
The black orbs that had been swirling around the dark lord were quickly fired like bullets.
In response, I immediately swung the Blood Heaven Demon Sword with sword energy, and soon the black sphere was ridiculously easily cut off.
Awesome!
And that became a problem.
Hwaaak!
“The skill ‘Focus on Strike’ has been temporarily sealed by the authority ‘Magic Jade’.”
As soon as the black sphere was cut, it exploded like a smoke bomb, and one skill was sealed.
Of course, it wasn’t a very important skill, so the loss wasn’t huge… … .
‘I can’t believe he has the ability to seal it.’
After learning that if you touch that black orb, you lose your power, a silent sound came out.
It was worth it.
Currently, the black sphere near the dark lord is in double digits even if you estimate it… … .
If all the black spheres hit me, in theory, at least 10 of my abilities would disappear.
It would be the worst of the worst if the guardian’s skill to protect his comrades even disappeared.
‘A head-to-head match itself is impossible in the first place… … .’
It’s really not an easy strong enemy.
However, as the saying goes, even if the sky collapses, there is a hole that will rise… … .
Soon I was able to think of a solution to this hopeless situation without difficulty.
“If I’m going to fight like this, I’ll have to be petty too.”
He immediately smiled at the dark lord and turned around and started running away.
bang!
As if they didn’t know that an intruder would come in the first place, the door to the royal palace opened easily enough to be kicked.
Without a moment’s hesitation, I quickly ran to the escape route, even operating the renewal method.
“What… … ! Gee, where are you going, leaving your luggage behind! Foolish challenger, come back… … !”
Unfortunately, the dark lord didn’t have anything to call a mobile machine, so he couldn’t stop the escape.
Well, in the first place, there is a crazy power like a magical stone, but if there is an escape or escape prevention plan, that would be a scam.
‘If this happens, I’ll be able to execute the plan faster than I thought.’
After running to the outside of the fortress, demons in formation appeared.
I think they were the ones who said they would call in reinforcements before… … .
“Chi, intruder! Everyone ready for battle! Today we fight for freedom and peace!”
“Don’t be afraid! There is only one enemy! That’s a challenger with sealed power! Drive to numerical superiority!”
“Shouldn’t we pay the price for the sins of countless demons right here! Cheer up everyone!”
I realized all over again how lucky I was.
To think that the demons who were going to look for them appeared right away like this… … .
‘What kind of rolled rice cake is this?’
At this point, I wonder if the goddess of luck is smiling at me.
「The authority skill, ‘Grace of Wind’ is activated.」
「All speeds increase by 80%.」
「Current skill overlap progress – [8]」
Paaang—!
Accelerating his body with the power skill, he rushed at the demons, and soon after the twin swords were swung, the demons died helplessly.
Chow!
Of course, there were minor resistances, but nothing to worry about.
All the powers that used magic were absorbed by Manmajiwang, and other skills were not even a threat.
「You have absorbed the spirit of the vampire ‘Ione’.」
「Skill increases by 0.9%.」
“I absorbed the command of the werewolf ‘Dycro’… … .」
“Skill increases by 0.7%… … .」
「Absorbing the spirit of the panwing group ‘Renerna’… … .」
「Skill increased by 0.8%… … .」
As soon as I finished the battle, I immediately absorbed the spirits scattered around me.
「The power of ‘Heolcheon Deep Gong’ is strongly activated.」
Then, he absorbed a large amount of blood with the blood drill to replenish his physical strength and mana.
no… … .
Kugugu-!
The red steam overflowing his body had already surpassed the point of replenishing his mana.
“Huh… … .”
It was the moment when his breath became rough due to the runaway power that seemed to break his reason if he stopped concentrating even for a moment.
“This cowardly bastard… … ! don’t run away! It means to fight fair and square… … !!”
The Dark Lord’s cry was heard in his ears, and at the same time his figure was revealed.
Well, it seems like they followed me all the way here with just one run… … .
“Eh, what the hell is this… … !?”
At the very least, it was too late.
Because the demons who will protect him have already become food for my strength.
“Let’s fight instead of running away?”
Looking at the dark lord engulfed in confusion, I curved the corners of my mouth like a crescent moon.
“That is what I am going to say.”
and… … .
Ku-gu-gu-gu-!
The moment when he generously discharged the aura of blood and deep air flowing through his body.
“Oh, that’s ridiculous… … .”
The dark lord’s face went pale and began to back away.
I spoke to him in a voice full of laughter.
“Don’t run away, Dark Lord. Don’t be so intimidated and face me.”
now… … .
“You mean that’s fair?”
The position has been completely reversed.
