Episode 213
Episode 78. Porapora Island’s Sorrow (4)
Empey’s right wing crumbled like a dry leaf. Then he lost his balance and fell to the floor.
In the meantime, a line of straight Aura Blade rushed through Empey’s body. Empey was startled and tried to avoid it, but a sharp turn was impossible due to a broken wing on one side.
shah!
The Aura Blade made a sharp noise and penetrated Empey’s body. There was no time for Emphey to scream.
This is because Yuma, who arrived almost at the same time as the Aura Blade, is aiming for Empey’s head, who has not yet fallen to the ground.
Tukan!
However, before I knew it, a black sword was in Empey’s hand. As soon as Yuma saw the sword, he flinched and slightly leaned back.
Demon Sword Arilla.
It was the same sword that Yuma had destroyed in Joheim.
As the palms were bumped without the Aura wrapped around them, blood dripped from the grips holding the Ascalon.
‘I see that dog-like sword here again.’
Fortunately, it seemed that Ayeolla’s performance had deteriorated compared to what she experienced in Yoheim. It was because at that time, Yuma destroyed Amura with the sky splitting.
The state of the ruler, which was obtained by borrowing the power of a weapon, was no longer a threat to Yuma. Yuma swung Ascalon again, ignoring the bleeding hand.
If you break it and it happens again, just break it again! Even a sword that is weaker than before.
It was a situation where my stamina was very low, but it didn’t matter.
There was a huge difference in skill between the time he killed Secron Wolf Asel in Joheim and the current Yuma.
If it was that level of cutting the sky, I could spread it with my current physical strength. If only given a chance.
[What have you done!]
said Empey, who had knocked out Ascalon, rolling on the floor ugly. He couldn’t believe that Yuma had just planted an aura in his body and exploded it.
“It’s just a natural thing.
A direct descendant of the Demon God would not dare to display his spirit in front of me.”
Returning the lines Empey had made earlier, Yuma smiled.
“Why is there only one knife? Did you sell one bag to add to your household budget?”
When Yuma touched Ascalon, he pushed it away and pointed at Amura. Empey was holding her torn right wing with her hand and took a hesitant posture.
He couldn’t understand the fact that Yuma’s aura on his body had exploded.
Yuma deliberately made sarcastic remarks and looked closely at Empey.
It was to find out where the nasty, acidic mucus that flowed from his body was gushing out and what could be his weakness.
‘That necklace. It looks like an artifact.’
Around Empey’s neck was a necklace that radiated purple energy.
Somehow that seemed to be his weakness. It was just a feeling.
[…I only thought he was weak because he had a hard time, but he’s a pretty strong guy.
I’m a human enough to be recognized as an enemy by the demon king of the underworld.]
Empey decided to recognize Yuma not as a toy but as an enemy.
Now that Amanjo had not completely descended, the power of the demon kings of the underworld, including himself, was in a situation where it was impossible to compare with the original.
Of course, if he could fully use the power of the demon king of the underworld, no one among the strong in the human world could be his opponent, but that wasn’t the case now.
“That bastard named Galos must have fought with me.”
[You’re arrogant!] As
Empey’s hands glowed black once, the torn wings began to regenerate.
However, there was no way Yuma would allow such a gap.
A swift thrust followed by a continuous slash.
Yuma planned to win in a short time. It was because he would get tired when he went back up into the sky and started striking lightning.
Empey countered Yuma’s attack by swinging her amoula around.
Not only that, but he continued to summon a black awl to target Yuma’s limbs.
‘I was embarrassed before, so I didn’t know, but after experiencing it a few times, it’s crude.’
Yuma thought as he slashed the awl without thinking. And that this demon named Empey wasn’t that strong.
That was a different issue than the size of the aura that could be emitted.
Flying around and shooting black lightning right away had the firepower that surpassed a few wizard troops.
However, Empey’s skills in one-on-one combat were far from outstanding compared to the strong players Yuma had met so far.
Rather, it was on the decline. Well, if I had to compare it… Shall I say it feels like a Mero from the days of sparring in Ferrol, a fishing village?
Obviously, the atmosphere from his appearance is bloody and the sword he wields is also a demonic sword and is incomparably stronger than Mero, but Yuma somehow reminded me of Mero.
Yuma didn’t know it, but it felt that way because of Empei’s birth.
Empey was born with the lineage of the Demon King of the Underworld, and had potential on a completely different level from other demons.
As a result, Empey in the underworld had no choice but to fight against beings weaker than herself. In the first place, there weren’t many things to do properly about fighting. No, it didn’t exist at all.
One-sided oppression and killing. That was what Empey mainly did in the underworld.
In the underworld, he always boasted only to those who were weaker than himself, so it was not unreasonable for Yuma to somehow think of Mero.
The really strong and terrifying demons were not those born with bloodlines like Empey, but demons who started at the bottom of the demon realm and built up their strength.
Although not all Demon King-class demons are like Mpey, though.
“It is you who are arrogant. You mean you came to me with that skill? Originally, people like you wouldn’t even sweat.”
[Die!]
Empey shouted, gathering lightning in her hand. Lightning, unlike an awl, was a burdensome attack to hit.
As Yuma tried to avoid it, Empey aimed for the tantai behind him and threw a lightning bolt. Tantai stood there blankly, unaware that his boomerang had broken.
‘shit!’
Yuma hurriedly threw herself away and knocked out the lightning.
Seeing that, Empey realized the best way to deal with Yuma.
If you throw lightning, you dodge it. All awls are blocked. The attack is fierce. However, if you attack another human, they will go and greet you instead.
It was foolish to go head-to-head with that human bastard in the current situation where his strength has weakened. It was much more efficient to make them protect others and to find openings.
Empey’s awl only sprouted where he sprinkled black energy. Empey began to gradually move that energy from Yuma to Tantai.
Realizing that intention, Yuma yelled at Empei.
“What is so crude about being called the Demon King?”
[Why are we demons?]
It was the root of the problem that we spread the distance to protect Tantai.
Mpey, which had finished regenerating its wings, was flying into the sky again. Then, he formed lightning bolts in both hands and let out a hearty laugh.
[In the Underworld, everyone called me ‘Dirty Empey’.]
Unlike the human world, ‘despicable’ was a fairly honorable modifier in the Underworld.
Yuma frowned and looked up at the sky. M-Pei covered the moonlight and looked like a dark shadow.
[I’ll show you the power of the demon king.]
Empey screamed as she raised her trembling hands.
Then, the lightning gathered in his hand spread in all directions, leaving a long arcuate tail.
‘crazy!’
Even Yuma couldn’t help but be embarrassed by that. Hundreds of bolts of lightning were spreading wildly as if tore apart the night sky.
Lightning started hitting randomly all over the island. From the point of view of the natives of Porapora Island, it was a phenomenon that could only be seen as ‘God’s wrath’.
Yuma turned his head and looked in the direction he had come running from. There were also several lightning bolts falling in that direction.
‘Cog! Barinan Igor!’
The lightning seemed to have no tracking function, but the striking range was too vast. If lightning fell on his colleagues, Igor, who had no proper weapon, could not block it.
Then, all that was left was Barlinan’s Artifact. If it was the kid’s protection artifact, it would probably be able to block lightning a few times.
But what about the natives? And what about Kantai?
Yuma took Tantai and ran to the forest path where Kantai was. Fortunately, the lightning didn’t fall on Kantai’s side.
That demon who was slaughtering humans in the sky must have come to this island in search of himself.
No matter how hostile the natives of the island were towards them, they could not turn a blind eye to the current massacre.
Pudeuk.
Yuma gnashed his teeth and wrapped around Kantai. And started running towards the beach where Kantai fought.
I had to check the safety of my colleagues.
Yuma ran so explosively that his boots were all torn. Even while running to the beach, lightning intermittently fell across the island.
I saw the bodies of natives who had been struck by lightning. Seeing the demons massacre humans, Yuma’s heart felt like it was about to collapse as the memories of the Dragon and Demon War came to mind.
The demon named Empey will definitely be torn to pieces.
“brother!”
“Balinen!”
As expected, Ballinan was activating the protection artifact. No matter how many times he had blocked the lightning, it looked like there was a huge crack in the shield.
In the protective shield, not only colleagues, but also tribesmen including Untai were mixed.
Untai was about to find the tribesmen who had just run away and put them inside Barinann’s shelter and leave to catch them again.
“What’s happening!”
“Oh, Yuma-sama!”
Yuma thought as he set down Kantai and Tantai in front of his teammates. Untai and the tribesmen wept as soon as they saw Kantai and Thantai.
“Chief Joe! What happened?”
“There is no trauma. I don’t know if it’s okay.”
“i get it! I am. I have to go again!”
Yuma hurriedly grabbed Untai, who was about to start running again.
“Cha! Let go! Tribesmen! They are dying!”
“Wait a minute Untai. If something goes wrong with you, what will the tribesmen do here?”
Yuma said as she took off her white dragon. It’s a light armor, but it was good to reduce the weight as much as possible to jump and hit Empey.
“Ballinan. How many protection artifacts are left?”
“I have two spares.”
“I’m using it to block lightning. Perhaps the Spirit King still does not respond to the call?”
That was a problem that Ballinan had completely forgotten about. Ballinan was also in a hurry to take out the artifact to protect his comrades in a situation that unfolded out of nowhere.
“I’ll call Boo!”
“good. If it doesn’t come out again, call another spirit and hand control over to Unta Yi. to facilitate the search. Igor! You follow Untai. Cog takes out the first aid kit and takes care of the tribesmen! First stop the bleeding from Tantai.”
When Yuma gave the order, Untai nodded. And before leaving to kill Empei again, he checked Kantai’s condition once more.
As the distance from Mpey increased, it seemed to be better than before. Her body, which had been hot like a ball of fire, was slowly cooling down.
“Yu Yuma…
“I’m out of my mind, Kantai.”
However, Kantai soon lost consciousness again.
Even if Yuma woke up for a moment, he knew what she was desperately trying to convey to him without having to listen.
protect the tribesmen
That was probably what Kantai was trying to convey to himself.
