Episode 95. Securing Yunin Oasis Hunting demons that become blood and flesh (2)
The black flames gathered in Rakir’s snout made me dizzy just by looking at it.
Overwhelming flames that seemed to burn the entire ground.
‘Are you going to shoot that thing at me? really?’
It was impossible to endure that with a body made of bones, no, real bones. But it didn’t seem like it could be avoided.
There was no way a fireball the size of a fortress would only hit a narrow range. That said, it just had to be right.
[You bastard! Did you mean to kill me like this!] [You know that’s not the case.] [Hey! wait for a sec! It really shoots•… uh uh uh uh!]
Hwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh The fireball gathered in Rakir’s snout exploded.
It seemed like it had been a long time since I had screamed so urgently.
Today’s Yuma has never experienced anything worthy of being called a ‘crisis’. He was always full of confidence no matter who he met and whatever situation he was in.
At least it was a moment that could be described as dangerous when he met Kantai and Empei on Pora Pora Island, but even then, Yuma didn’t think he would lose.
But not now. It was fortunate that it ended to the point of defeat.
‘If I get hit by that, I don’t think there’ll be any stiff powder left!’
Huge flames descended as if tore apart the entire purple sky of the underworld. Even Rakir’s stronghold-like body was obscured by the flames, making it impossible to see.
Would it be like this if I got hit directly by the mage’s linking magic, Meteor Strike? Yuma instinctively raised her arm and covered her face.
I have to struggle with something, but what should I do?
In such an urgent moment, his body always gave the best response without hesitation. A well-trained body does not shrink in the face of any crisis.
‘But now that body doesn’t exist!’
Furrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr…!
The flames instantly colored the ground Yuma was standing on.
Just before being engulfed in flames, I stretched out my fist like I did in Inse, but to no avail.
[Kaa Aak!]
The terrible sensation of the flames stirs the ribs, and the terrible sense of the skull.
A spark spread through the empty body.
Yuma screamed and cursed Rakir.
Although it was a body with only bones, the burning pain of the whole body was fully conveyed. It was a kind of pain that I experienced for the first time in my life, completely different from burning my skin.
‘Rakiri bastard! certainly! kill!’
It seemed that his laughter could be heard from high up in the sky.
And while struggling endlessly in the black flames, Yuma realized one thing.
It was just that he didn’t die.
As long as he became a member of his household, Rakir could not kill Yuma no matter what he did.
In other words, it meant that even though it was painful enough to die, it was safe. Of course, that didn’t mean his anger toward Rakir subsided.
[Master! Break through the flames.
You shouldn’t be suffering just that much. Huhuhu…]
[Bite the snout, Rakiruaaah!]
I felt like I was going crazy.
After returning, the only time I felt physically as painful as this moment was the moment I was receiving training from Duran in Amad.
But even the mad master didn’t push the student into the fire pit.
Just click…
the lower jaw rattled. Even if his body did not die, his mind would collapse if he continued to be exposed to this terrifying pain.
‘I have to get out of the flames!’
I tried to move my legs, but it was not easy because of the pressure of the flames. Rakir’s flame weighed down Yuma’s entire body as if it had mass.
[Ugh!]
Yuma let out a moan as he straightened his back, which was bent at an almost right angle. The sound of the joints colliding resounded loudly, like that of an old man.
It feels like returning to that old, weak body of the eunuch days. No, it was a weaker and less attractive body than that.
Weakness that can’t adapt at all.
Yuma gritted his teeth and took a step forward.
[Oh good. That’s how you do it.]
I didn’t have time to respond to Rakir, who was spewing upside-down words.
‘You have to control your anger. Anger Suddenly, he was in a position where he was beaten by his subordinates, but he had to endure it.
It was because there was no strength to return it to the ship when it was hit by one.
In other words, Yuma in the underworld was a weakling.
On the other hand, Rakir was a strong man who could scatter such a huge fire road casually.
In such a situation, it was foolish to shout out loud just because he was in the position of ‘lord’.
‘In the underworld, you can play with me. Let’s get stronger, Rakir…
What was needed now was tenacity rather than anger. The tenacity to become strong enough to beat Rakir like in the human world in the shortest amount of time.
‘Oh, but it’s really ridiculously painful. r All the swear words that exist in the world were popping up in my head. The fire was burning Yuma non-stop.
[What time do you plan to walk like that? Be strong.]
Of course.
Rakir wouldn’t be doing this for no reason. He was obviously a demon full of determination to make Yuma the strongest in the underworld.
Judging by the expression ‘swealth,’ this terrible inferno must have been a part of training.
Yuma went through the flames step by step with the mind of a Jailgyo priest who had mastered asceticism.
‘But somehow, it seems like he’s taking his anger out on being beaten by me.’
Less, less, less…
The most painful thing was not being able to lose consciousness and collapse.
The law that Rakir could never kill Yuma made even fainting impossible.
However, the time of perseverance eventually passes.
After a while, Yuma was finally able to pull himself out of the endless pit of fire.
[Kaak kaaak…] As soon as he got out of the flames, Yuma fell to the floor and shivered.
[Good job, lord. How does it feel to experience the magic of a high-class demon in the underworld for the first time?] [
Haaaah, don’t talk to me.]
[You must have been very distressed. My heart is about to break at the thought of my lord’s pain… After an hour’s rest, I will prepare for the next match. From the tone
of voice to the choice of vocabulary, there was no corner that I didn’t want to tear to death.
While lying face down on the floor, Yuma felt a mysterious sensation welling up at the tips of his fingers. It was a sense that the melting space was being restored.
The space collapse in the southern part of the underworld seemed unaffected by Rakir’s fire.
It was the realm of authority, not magic, that repeated space collapse and creation.
As the pain subsided and the thrill of restoring space came, my mind became hazy as if I was intoxicated.
‘Ugh, that’s annoying….
Yuma opened her eyes and stood up.
[Hey.]
[Yes, Lord.]
[There is no break. I’m not dying anyway Excitingly harass her for two days.]
Rakir licked his huge eyeballs.
[Can you handle it?]
[Such a cheeky bastard, that’s nothing for you to worry about. If it’s a subordinate, it’s like a subordinate.]
Eudeuk. My teeth gnashed spontaneously while I was talking.
[Hmm. I understand, sir. If that’s the case, I won’t decline.]
[Come in, come in.]
He said that, but it felt like his lower body, which wasn’t even there, was shrinking.
Yuma stood up and waited for Rakir to attack again.
* * * “Aagh!”
“Yuma!”
Two days passed in the underworld.
Inse had been in the state for two hours.
In the meantime, Yuma’s party had set up a tent outside and had finished preparing their meal.
As soon as she came to consciousness in Inse, Yuma started touching her body here and there. A cold sweat broke out all over his body.
“Why are you okay?”
Natalie leaned over to Yuma and said. Cheryl, who was putting food on her plate, also rushed over to check Yuma’s condition.
[Master! card! it was awesome! I hope you can endure it all! Haha!]
And when Rakir came running with a lively voice, Yuma widened his eyes.
Sreung!
Yuma momentarily pulled out the dagger hanging from Natalie’s thigh and seized Rakir by the nape of his neck to subdue him.
[Cak! Lord! Oh billion! Now, I made a mistake!]
As the tip of the dagger approached as if it would pierce the nape of the neck, Rakir trembled and shook all four legs.
“Come on, you too will suffer from the disintegration of all your
limbs
…
Yuma drew his dagger and wiped his forehead.
Rakir escaped Yuma’s grip and hid behind Natalie. Then he stuck out his head and put on a pitiful expression.
“What the hell happened?
hey puppy What mistake did you make with Yuma in the underworld?”
[I’m just for my lord…
you know? Haha, right?]
“Yeah. I know.”
[Yeah, you are also the lord! Indeed, the magazine of the devil I picked!]
I don’t think this person who killed you here will ever be released. Sooner or later, I will definitely tear off all of your wings in the underworld.”
While Rakir gulped, Yuma took off her top and walked across the creek.
The back was so bloody that even Natalie and Cheryl couldn’t ask for more.
“mutt. What did you do in the underworld?”
[Hmm! girl. You don’t know.]
Pupper puck. Puck Papapak! Natalie’s controlled repeated blows hit Rakir.
[Yeah! That’s… these things happened.]
For two days in the underworld, Yuma was severely abused by Rakir under the guise of sparring. As Yuma intended, without a single break.
After escaping the flames, his whole body was shattered into pieces by the bizarre thorn summoning magic.
At that time, only one skeleton gourd remained intact and had to roll on the floor to match the scattered pieces.
Rakir described these things with detailed explanations so that Natalie could easily imagine them.
“Mi-crazy… This was a total demon. Did you really bother Yuma that much?”
[Honestly, I didn’t know that my lord would endure all of that. Of course, I was going to quit if you ordered me to stop… but he said he didn’t. Kya, lord’s guts…!]
Anyway, if you do that, Yuma’s body in the underworld gets stronger, right?”
[Yes! How could this body have done all that without thinking! It’s all a process of getting used to the power unique to the underworld. Learn the unique fighting methods of beings with the Transcendental Body.]
“And you can never kill Yuma?”
[Accurate. You know how to sound clever sometimes, girl.]
Natalie nodded knowingly, then spit pipe smoke in Rakir’s face. Rakir coughed for a moment and shook his head.
“Anyway, Rakir. I think it’s…
[What?] “You look fucked. If it’s as you say, then Yuma in the Underworld is bound to become stronger, and once Yuma gains strength. I don’t think I’ll ever let you live.”
[Kahahak! It can’t be. Because my lord promised me the position of demon king! Ahaha ahaha! If you have that kind of guts, you’re right!]
Natalie just shook her head and shrugged her shoulders. He was a very stupid puppy.
