The Indomitable Martial King Chapter 19

“Aaaah!”

That wasn’t the end. Before Relsia even hit the ground, the Grell Beast opened her mouth. A thick smell of sulfur rose and yellow flames spewed out. The flames of the Abyss burned everywhere and shot towards Tod and Cilan.

It happened so quickly that Silan had no time to prepare. The boy’s eyes widened momentarily. The very moment when the flames of hell flicker faintly above the golden eyes.

“Taaap!”

Golden light surged out and blocked the flames. Before he knew it, Reppenhardt, whose entire body was covered in aura, was blocking his path. The flames split to the left and right and then die out. Cilan shouted in joy.

“Mr. Leffen!”

“I’m sorry, I was a little embarrassed too so I was late to react.”

Deflecting the devil’s flames with the spiral guard, Reppenhardt muttered in an apologetic voice.

☆ ☆ ☆

The fire subsided. Grelvist was no longer attacking others and was focusing its attention on Repenhardt. As expected from a high-ranking devil, he feels that this big guy in front of him is completely different from his previous opponents.

‘Uhm… … .’

Reppenhardt looked up at Grelvist with a serious face. He honestly wasn’t curious. How much power do you have right now? Can the martial arts contained in this body withstand that devil?

As a wizard, he was careful to avoid gambling with no chance of winning, but as a martial artist, he felt the joy of meeting a strong person. It was an unfamiliar sensation he had never felt in his previous life.

‘Tch, I’m done too. Master will be happy to see it.’

There was a lull for a moment. Each person just understands each other’s movements and moves little by little to the left and right. After circling the stone chamber like that, Reppenhardt suddenly launched himself.

-I learned that when something is ambiguous, it is best to bake bread first.

Remembering his master’s teachings, he immediately approached Grelbist. In a town where people are physically weak, it seems like they are taught to wait and respond by using late-attack first-order rules and such, but in Unbreakable, where you can withstand even a few counters, simply attacking first was the best.

The devil opened his mouth towards the charging Reppenhardt. The flames of hell poured down before my eyes. With a wave of his arms he cut through the flames. Immediately return to the opponent’s side and deliver a low kick as a check!

A shin laden with golden aura struck the demon’s thigh.

“Ugh?”

Grelbist’s expression changed. It was a light blow, but the impact it felt was unusual. How does this little human have this much power?

Taking advantage of the momentary stumble, Reppenhardt kicked the ground.

“Taaat!”

He lunges and lands a kick straight into the devil’s solar plexus. He then attempted a series of knee kicks to the chin, and the powerful jumping knee threw Grelvist’s head back as if it were going to be pulled out.

“Keuuk!”

Groaning, Grelbist hurriedly swung his sword. The demon sword Altion flew away, surrounded by pitch-black energy. The black blade grazed the chest of Reppenhardt, who was retreating from the recoil of the attack.

‘Ugh!’

For a moment, Leffenhardt felt something like a fingernail scratching his chest and frowned. He distanced himself and looked down at his chest. It was slightly swollen, as if it had been scratched by his fingernails.

‘uh? Are you scratched?’

As expected, even if a steel sword bounced, it didn’t seem to be enough to block a magic sword.

Of course, the magic sword, which is not an ordinary sword, is loaded with the devil’s magic energy, but if it is only this much, the general public’s sensibility would be to be impressed, not impressed. However, as he had already become imbued with Jim Unbreakable, he was more shocked to see scratches on his ‘strong’ body.

“You bastard!”

In anger, Reppenhardt stretched out his fist. The golden auror shot out like a cannon and hit Grelbeast in the chest. The Grelbeast that was hit by a surprise bomb stumbles and loses its balance. In that moment, he pounced on the devil again.

“Taaaat!”

While floating in the air, he fires a series of aura-laden kicks. The Grell Beast, which raised both arms to block the attack, retreated one after another. He cannot use his arms because he has to defend, and he cannot lift his legs off the ground because he has to balance. His best defense is his offense. With his endless kicks, Reppenhardt even blocked Grelvist’s attack.

But he had forgotten that this devil had a tail.

“Karata!”

With a single scream, the dark red tail swung like a whip and struck Reppenhardt’s side.

Pow!

With the sound of the blow, he flew straight into the wall like an arrow and was thrown down. The entire body, which was like steel, broke through the stone wall and was buried, causing the entire stone chamber to shake and dust to rise up.

Cilan shouted in surprise.

“Mr. Leffen!”

It’s so powerful that a person who gets hit and flies away will break the wall and be buried! Silan looked at the stone wall where clouds were rising with eyes full of worry. And he was shocked after a while.

“Ah, it’s okay.”

Reppenhardt was calmly walking out with his entire body covered in golden aura. I was so amazed that an exclamation came out.

“oh my god… … .”

Silan stuck out his tongue. A human made of flesh and blood breaks a wall with his body and still remains unharmed? It’s not just a wall, it’s a relic from the Silver Age, a solid wall that has withstood thousands of years of wind and rain and won’t crack even if you hit it with a decent hammer!

‘Is this the power of an Auror?’

Reppenhardt’s expression hardened as he touched his neck.

‘This was a mistake.’

Compared to his exciting flight, he barely suffered any damage. The six years of training were by no means in vain. The reason why Leppenhardt was so helpless was because the only opponent he had ever fought against was Gerrard.

‘Because you always get hit by Master’s attacks, you’ve developed a habit of attacking on your own, right?’

Throwing your body backwards to reduce the impact of the blow is of course an excellent defensive technique. If the opponent’s attack is Gerrard’s level, you must defend like that.

But sometimes you need to hold on. If he had just withstood the attack, he would have had an opportunity to counterattack.

Just because you can spar with the strongest doesn’t mean you will become the strongest. After all, experience cannot be ignored. With new insight, Reppenhardt carefully walked around Grelvist. I thought it was the perfect opportunity.

‘I guess I’ll have to calmly organize the skills I’ve acquired.’

Since the partner was suitable, I thought it was a heaven-sent opportunity. Reppenhardt clenched his fists and ignited his fighting spirit.

Steel-like fighting spirit is carried by golden aura and flickers like wild flames. Magical energy surges explosively from the Grelbist’s entire body. The devil screamed.

“Falkara!”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about! “Let’s stick together for now!”

Leppenhardt leapt forward while shouting. Grell Beast also flexed his entire body’s muscles and charged towards him. Just as two strong bulls were competing, a human and a demon began to exchange attacks like crazy.

Stephen was just staring at the scene in front of him with blank eyes. The pain was so intense that he felt like he was going to pass out at any moment, but he couldn’t faint.

“iced coffee… … .”

A lowly brute is fighting against the devil. He easily blocks the devil’s formidable attack, which he had defeated in one hit, and then digs in with amazing movement and delivers a series of clever blows. Each blow is fatal, and the devil screams every time it is hit.

A golden light shimmers from the whole body of this person who does not know honor, who has a lowly lineage that cannot be compared to his noble self.

That dazzling, even beautiful, splendor that surrounds the whole body.

The light of destruction that anyone who holds a sword or practices martial arts craves.

‘Auror… … .’

His expression was filled with futility and astonishment.

An opponent with no reputation at all, a lowly man with no bloodline or family, was fighting the devil with the power of an auror that even he, the noble of nobles, had not yet manifested.

‘What is this…? … .’

It felt like the whole world was falling apart.

‘Nonsense… … .’

It felt like everything I believed was a lie.

Everyone shouted. He is the next leader of the Kingdom’s Knights. In that case, he could become the fourth Auror user in Vasily’s Kingdom. Everyone said that, and even Stephen himself admitted it.

He was a descendant of a great family and would gain great power. He had never doubted that fact.

But there was already a monster in front of me of a similar age who could use Aurors with surprising ease. Its power was also amazing. At that level, it seemed like he would never be defeated even if he were to face Lord Talos, the commander of the Royal Palace Knights.

It was confusing. Her mind was a mess and she wanted to scream like crazy.

What on earth is that guy?

Where did a guy like that come from?

What on earth is this monster that shows such incredible skills at that age?

In shock and despair, he couldn’t even get angry and just stared blankly at Reppenhardt’s back.

☆ ☆ ☆

During the repeated exchanges, Reppenhardt was able to realize once again how great what he had learned was.

The demon’s attack was powerful, but it could not harm his body. This body, which awakened the aura in the steel body, was processed into thread. The only attack using the magic sword Altion was able to cause at least a scratch, but other than that, it was okay to just hit it with the body.

However, Reppenhardt was steadily avoiding Grelvist’s attacks and counterattacking. Since it was also a practical training exercise, I needed to use this opportunity to become familiar with the fighting style of a martial artist.

Avoiding Altion’s downward strike, he grabs his forearm and breaks it. Joint exercise.

It penetrates deep into the chest and hits the solar plexus, neck, and chin at the same time. Striker practice.

To avoid the tail that flies like a whip, throw your body around and kick. Air combat practice.

Every time, the Grelbeast’s body breaks here and there, its flesh bursts, and blood sprays out. However, as befits a guardian connected to the ruins, this demon never collapsed even though it continued to receive injuries. Even if he is seriously injured, he heals the devil’s wounds by supplying magical power from the ruins.

At first, I thought it was great that the sandbag repaired itself… … .

‘This, this…’ … .’

After fighting for a while, Reppenhardt began to get tired. However, that Grelbist was charging at me just fine. The ancient power is indeed so processed that it continues to grant amazing power even to demons who have suffered this much.

‘… … ‘Isn’t this the time to be playing?’

Feeling a sense of crisis, he moved his hands and feet and quickly shook his head.

Basically, in this case, the solution is simple. All you need to do is attack the magic power itself, not just the guardian, and briefly disperse the flow. And in the meantime, if you quickly deal with the guardian and destroy it, it will be resolved.

‘But you can’t expect that from that nobleman’s level now… … .’

It’s not that Todd doesn’t know about it, so he hasn’t used that method before. The skill is not there.

Or, you can use a strong attack and crush it in one blow without giving it a chance to heal its wounds. If the body itself to be healed is blown away, what good is the magic power of the ruins overflowing? Of course, it was never an easy task, but Reppenhardt had mastered a technique of such power.

‘Use Calamity Horn?’

Jim Unbreakable’s final secret technique, even at the level of 4 stacks, had the tremendous power to open a hole in a cliff and overturn a lake, so he was confident that he could knock out a Grelbeast in one hit.

However, if that happens, a serious problem arises.

‘Ugh, if that happens, everything will collapse and we’ll all be buried alive together.’

As power is powerful, there is no way the stone room can withstand it if it is thrown carelessly underground. It will be buried very nicely. And the only person who can dig up the dirt and crawl out from here is Leffenhardt.

‘I have a lot of luggage, so it’s a pain in the ass.’

Leffenhardt continued the fight. The battle kept getting longer because I couldn’t think of a way to deliver a particularly fatal blow. Both have overwhelmingly high defense compared to attack power. Usually, the stronger the person, the higher the attack power compared to the defense power, but that Grelbist, who is directly connected to the magic power of the ruins, and Reppenhardt, who ignorantly created the body from scratch, are breaking the common sense of the world.

Let’s die like this. Should we play with our hands and feet and decide who gets tired first? To be honest, there’s nothing I can’t do, but… … .

‘If that happens, even if I’m okay, the other kids will die… … .’

There are already a lot of patients here and there. Of course, Silan was also hurriedly performing healing techniques, but the magic energy was so thick that it was not effective. Unlike offensive or defensive spells, healing spells are very high-difficulty sacred spells, so they are greatly influenced by the environment. To treat them properly, we need to leave this room.

It was a car that had been confusing for a long time. I heard Todd shout from behind me.

“Hey, Mr. Leffen!”

“huh?”

Puzzled, Repenhardt glanced back. Wizard Todd continued to shout, pointing to the sword on the ground.

“Raise your sword! “If Silan uses a sacred striking spell on the aura-covered sword, it will have the power to slay that demon!”

As expected from a ruin explorer, he also understood the situation. Certainly, in cases where the wizard was poor and the Auror user dealt with the dungeon’s guardian, that method was standard.

Holy power reacts with magic, so if you attack properly, you can cut off the flow of magic. However, it lacks sharpness, so it needs to be mixed with aura to achieve a magical effect. Todd was advising us to use that method now.

‘Oh, do you think someone doesn’t do it because they don’t know that?’

Leppenhardt shouted nervously.

“Hey, I don’t know how to apply auras to weapons?”

“Huh, what does that mean?”
