Episode 163. Salvation and Execution (2)
What happens when the strongest race on earth, possessing both strength and intelligence, loses their reason and goes berserk?
What can I say? That place is the scene of a living disaster.
A gigantic adult body that is incomparable to the devil dragon I saw in Lemea Canyon two years ago.
The thing that roared while flying around in the sky finally settled down in the middle of the city adjacent to the slums and began a full-scale act of destruction.
Although it had been buried underground for hundreds of years, it felt as magical as a living dragon.
A demonic beast that was summoned in the old days?
What kind of crazy person would think of burying that damn body in the ground without even taking care of it?
How did Boris do that… … ?
-Shuuk
Hot burning fireballs poured down one after another like heavy rain.
“Museon (霧劍): Severed wind!”
As I swung my sword diagonally into the air several times, the imaginary space split sharply and the fireballs that came into contact were destroyed without a trace.
[I don’t think it’s time to look worried with a bug-bitten face, master.]
She is right.
It may already be rotten and dry and not worth eating, but even so, it doesn’t make sense to leave it like that.
After making up my mind, I immediately brought out the power of the mist sleeping within me.
“… … !”
I felt a cold stare, so I looked back slightly.
The residents of the slum who had treated me with contempt are looking at me with white faces as if they had seen a ghost.
“Why you?”
It looks like he was quite disappointed that the savior he wanted did not appear.
It’s none of my business.
I didn’t show up to save them anyway.
I paid no heed and focused on gathering my strength again.
“Ammu Type 9: Demon Sword Appears!”
The moment preparations were completed, it flew straight toward its target.
[You know that the level is different from the guys you faced before, right? If you rush at it with any amount of force, you won’t even get a scratch.]
Know.
It makes no sense for a being without reason to control power.
First, you will have to break through that thick protective shield surrounded by a large amount of divine energy and magic.
The mana that appeared in the hand was passed on to Kayram.
Then I rushed towards him,
-bang!
My body, unable to withstand the recoil, was pushed backwards with a dull sound as if stones collided with each other.
“Ammu Type 3: Fog Glide!”
The mist that erupted from my body along with the spell enveloped my body and instantly corrected my body as I lost my balance and fell.
what? This is much harder than you think, right?
Still, it wasn’t completely ineffective.
Although it was successful in creating a small gap, a spiderweb-like crack appeared in the shield of the person in contact with Kayram.
“… … !”
To the extent that it would be shameful to call it a success, the gap was immediately filled and the project returned to its original form.
[Did you hear me?! I saved all my strength to make poop?!]
Kayram’s yelling was a bonus.
It’s extremely hard, as if it had a double layer of protection.
Still, did you succeed in attracting attention?
The devil dragon’s bloodless black eyes turned to me.
“Kwaaaaak!”
The guy got excited when he saw me and started making a fuss by moving his feet back and forth.
Then it opened its mouth towards the sky and once again spewed out numerous fireballs in all directions.
It was like watching lava spewing out from the crater of a burning volcano.
Now that he’s using his power without hesitation, this should be an opportunity.
You have to gather your strength and rush in even just for a second,
For some reason, my gaze was not directed at the devil dragon, but at the fireballs rising into the sky.
This is why I hate the dragon race.
It certainly wasn’t aimed at somewhere, but surprisingly, it only flew to places where people were crowded, such as streets or private homes.
Is it true that the instinct to belittle humans cannot be helped even after death?
It wasn’t just that I looked away, the power of the fog was already gathering in my hands.
“Ammu Type 5: Mist Clone!”
It was too late for me to go there myself anyway.
With his left hand, which was not holding Kayram, he powerfully threw the instantly created sphere of fog towards the fireball.
The thrown sphere flew faster than a fireball, and immediately changed its shape the moment it reached the target point.
-wedge
Then, just like I did, he swung his sword and destroyed all the falling fireballs.
[Are you crazy? Where are you diverting your attention when it’s not enough to focus on that rotten guy?]
“okay. “I can’t let my gaze wander somewhere far away when it’s not enough to focus entirely on that guy.”
I threw the additional mist spheres I created far away in different directions.
Then, like the previous sphere, it transformed into an alter ego that resembled me and settled down in various places.

Well, that would be enough to buy me some time.
[Do you still want to do that after coming all the way here?]
“It’s not something that happens just once or twice. “What are you doing again?”
[After being the executioner and all that just now!]
Kayram shook his head and sighed as if he was tired.
Trying to ignore that sigh, I charged at the devil dragon once again.
-bang!
Do you know the best way to subdue your opponent?
It’s extremely simple.
All you have to do is suppress it with a force that is stronger than the force you are trying to fight against.
-bang! bang! bang!
With Kayram, who had inherited a power several times more powerful than before, he struck down the shield mercilessly, and with each strike, the divine energy concentrated in the shield burst out like an explosion.
This time it wasn’t just a small gap.
A large space was created that could easily fit five people, and the devil dragon, who seemed a little embarrassed, reached out to me and unleashed mana.
-Pazy!
With a flash of light, blue lightning struck my entire body.
However, as I was already expecting a counterattack, I didn’t have much trouble blocking it.
Without stopping, I fired my sword energy into the broken shield several times.
-Needle liquid
There were several noticeable wounds, but they didn’t seem to be of any significance.
Unless the body is completely torn apart, it will be nothing more than a scratch that doesn’t even itch.
“Coooooooo!”
The devil dragon roared again and swung its huge arms.
The moment he succeeded in dodging by slightly twisting his body, he immediately grabbed Kairam and cast his secret technique.
“Mugeom: 8 fluttering petals!”
The moment eight sword strikes made with smooth hand movements cut through the space,
-Kwazijic
The Devil Dragon’s right arm was torn apart with a cheerful sound.
However, instead of screaming, it immediately swung its sharp, trident-like tail as if it was no problem.
It quickly jumped into the air, opening its mouth as if it had been waiting, and radiating hot heat.
I chuckled and fired my sword energy into it again.
“Kagagak!”
When the fireball that was about to be emitted was shattered by sword energy, an explosion occurred in the mouth.
Since I had no intention of missing that opportunity, I quickly adjusted my posture and rushed towards the guy.
Let’s see.
Suddenly, the contents of a novel I read by chance came to mind.
A magical beast that appears out of nowhere in a peaceful village and destroys everything around it, and a hero of salvation who appears to save the village.
As the warrior swung his sword to defeat the tyrannical beast, a person who watched the scene from afar said this.
It was like watching a beautiful and colorful dance.
If someone was watching me from afar as I am now, I think they would probably think the same thing.
Why isn’t there another famous saying like that?
Life is inherently a comedy when seen from afar, but a tragedy when seen up close.
When seen from a distance, the warrior’s sword strike may look like a beautiful dance move,
From the perspective of the demon beast who will face this vividly before his eyes,
It will only be seen as a bloody execution ceremony for the Shinigami to deal with death.
Although it may be splendid, it would be such a terrible and cruel sight that it could never be called beautiful.
“Martial Sword: The song and dance of black blood!”
* * *
An unidentified giant demonic beast that appears in the middle of Axilium.
The peaceful city was turned into a scene of hell in an instant. After stopping for a moment, he suddenly let out a cry of anger.
People were still busy running away, but some people, recognizing that the atmosphere had changed, gathered themselves and looked around.
Even though the surrounding area was destroyed by the magical beast, I couldn’t help but notice the unidentified monster standing in the middle of the street.
I looked around and saw that I wasn’t alone.
In the middle of the street, on top of buildings, and even in the air where your feet can’t reach.
Not only was it not enough to calmly block the attacks of the magical beasts that flew in from time to time, but it even extinguished the flames that were constantly spreading.
Anyone could see that it was a being that protected the city and people from demonic beasts, but
People couldn’t help but frown.
It felt like I was seeing the reaper of death rather than a person.
Looking at the outside, it is impossible to see the existence of salvation, and on the contrary, it made the viewer feel a sense of rejection and uncertainty.
“Kwaeeek!”
Then suddenly a terrible roar echoed throughout the city.
The direction is toward the slums.
A huge demonic beast that could be seen from afar was screaming and running wild, and around it there was a fascinating curve that seemed to be drawing a picture.
It looked as if a dancer holding a sword was dancing, and some people who saw the sight watched in ecstasy.
It was a situation where laughter was impossible to come out of, but
A smile rarely left the face of someone who could be said to be the person responsible for this situation.
“Should we say it is the salvation of a messenger who executes death? “It is truly a rare sight.”
Each time the ecstatic sword dance continued, the devil dragon’s body was torn to shreds, and something black, not red blood, was gushing out from between the pieces.
At the same time, the black magic circle that was shining in one of his hands gradually lost its glow, but Boris reacted calmly until the end.
“I will admit it. You are a being that we didn’t realize was perhaps close to the truth… … . Unfortunately, we will not be able to handle your power at this point.”
-thud!
With the final sword strike straight ahead, the Devil Dragon’s body completely collapsed.
“But don’t worry. This world is not one where you can move only with force. “If that were the case, the history of this world would not have been written centered on light.”
Boris gently stroked the white Bible in his hand.
“Then I’ll see you next time. Sian Bert. At that time, I will face you in a way that is closer to the truth, so I hope you stay healthy… … .”
At the end, a final greeting that will not be heard by the person to whom it is intended.
Boris’s body disappeared in a burst of light.
