The Red Moon (1)
The souls that escaped from Maktoum formed a muddy mass, like paints of various colors mixed together.
The cry of a soul filled with grief continued to beat Yuma’s eardrums.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
) Maktoum’s body began to collapse like a sandcastle Like that of an ogre, the thick and hard hide and muscle disintegrated and turned into black particles.
Amoulah gave off a deep luster like leather soaked in water. The luster, which faded and deepened repeatedly, looked as if the eyes of some gigantic being were stinging.
In less than five seconds, Maktoum’s flesh and hide were completely oxidized. The remaining dingy bones, like the skeleton of a huge structure, held their standing posture for a very short time.
percussion.
Soon, the bones in his ankles, encased in the sand, were gently broken, and Maktoum’s entire hideous skull tilted to one side.
It was a different result in many ways compared to the first time he dealt with Maktoum in Seruka Castle.
It was thanks to Yuma learning the senses of the underworld and being able to radiate Amoula’s performance more than before.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa…!
The resentment buried in his voice, which seemed to send even the listener into despair, was so vivid that even the sticky feeling could be conveyed when he stretched out his hand.
To Natalie and Randel, it was just an unpleasant sound, but not to Yuma.
Unlike the previous two, Yuma was the owner of Amula.
Arilla, described by Rugal as the ‘sword of death’.
power of the demon. The owner of the sword, forged by the death of a life that had lasted a long time, was much more sensitive to the screams of the soul.
Aww!
Randel and Natalie no longer heard the sound. However, in Yuma’s ears, it sounded much clearer than at first.
The sound that kept ringing in Yuma’s ears now was part of a cold, bleak, transcendent sensation they could never feel.
With authority came responsibility. Gods could not enjoy unlimited omnipotence.
It meant that Yuma was also responsible for that power as long as he obtained Arilla and acquired some of the powers of the Demon God.
That dark and heavy feeling was a burden Yuma had to bear in the future.
“Yuma! What are you doing!”
Natalie screamed as she watched Yuma fall with Maktoum’s skull.
1 second or 2 seconds. Thousands of scenes passed through Yuma’s mind as he fell in an arc.
Those thousands of scenes were the last moments experienced by humans who were used in rituals and impaled alive.
I never thought I would experience the fear of others so vividly. Yuma slowly closed her eyes.
Confused and overwhelming emotions dominated her body, but this was a battlefield.
No matter how many souls struggled in agony before her eyes, Yuma’s job was not to sympathize with the sorrow and despair of the crushed souls.
plural to do. The target is the underworld. Obliterate the room.
Yuma’s sword eye grew larger than before and turned black. First of all, he had to defeat Maktoum and take control of that damn tower.
‘It seems to be overflowing with strength.’
Even though he used Sword Eye, he did not feel that his stamina had decreased at all. It was thanks to the absorption of Maktoum.
Just before crashing into the sand, Yuma landed on the ground and opened his eyes. Yuma’s sword eyes, which were shining blue, were dyed completely black.
At that moment, Maktoum, which Randel and Natalie were holding in check, made a move to spit the completed breath toward Yuma.
Natalie and Randell gritted their teeth and attacked Maktoum. There was no way to know why that madman was suddenly dazed.
Seeing that the two people’s efforts were in vain, Toom lowered his head and poured his breath in an oblique line.
Randell and Natalie were able to cut both of his ankles, but the blow range was so wide that the breath threatened to attack Yuma.
If you get hit by that, even Yuma won’t be fine. No, if you get hit defenselessly, you die.
Natalie was so sure that her heart sank.
However, she could see Yuma dropping Ascalon to the floor at the moment when the black breath attacked Yuma.
‘why? You madman!’
Shoot Aaaaaa!
After a while, Natalie and Randel couldn’t help but doubt their own eyes.
Yuma grabbed Amoula with both hands and took the falling breath head-on.
However, just before the breath collided with Amoula, Atchila’s sword body increased with momentum to cut through the sky.
Extremely fast lift.
The blade was long enough to cut through the maktum, but it didn’t feel heavy at all.
“Crazy…
Maktoum’s breath was torn in a straight line and offset as it was in the air.
Then, the black cross aura engraved in Yuma’s eyes shone again, and Amulla fell into the bell.
Then, something protruded from both sides of the enormous blade. It had a shape similar to that of the Parisian Hell, but its size far exceeded that of a giant tree that was hundreds of years old.
Overwork and overwork!
As if the jaws of the flytrap were closing, Amullah squashed Maktoum. The bones and flesh that made up Maktoum’s gigantic body crumbled, and the sound of being chewed spread through the sandstorm.
“What is it? Did you… eat that?”
“I guess so.”
When the sword body increased, it was as fast as light, so the meaning was the same.
After finishing the meal, Awolra quickly reaped the hungry ghost and returned to its original form.
This time, just like when he absorbed the first Maktoum, the full energy was transmitted to his whole body through the tip of his sword.
It was a much stronger energy than when he absorbed the upper level demons possessed by Baffa.
“Whoa!
Yuma took a deep breath and picked up the Ascalon that had been dropped on the floor. As he brushed off the sand, he saw Duran Zak’s name engraved on the silver blade.
If it were his teacher, he would have cut Maktoum with a single sword without needing the power of a demonic sword. There was no doubt about it.
Among pure humans who did not possess the abilities of demons and dragons, the teacher was by far the strongest.
Although he had a very effective power to deal with the demons, he was somehow resentful and ashamed when he thought of his teacher.
‘I’m thinking of reaching a higher level than you even as a pure warrior, but for now, it’s urgent to defeat the offspring of the demons. Only later will you understand me.’
Natalie and Randall approached Yuma with trembling faces.
“My friend, that’s what it is.”
“I don’t know either. It’s just the power of the demon god. After all, I don’t think there’s anything like this when it comes to catching demons.”
Yuma listened and said something.
“It’s amazing… but is it okay? It’s strange to see a friend who uses the demon’s power properly. I’m worried.”
“It’s okay, Sir Randall.”
“Anyway, when you compete with me later, let’s not use that power. Aren’t friends the ones who cheat?”
“of course. Even if you don’t have anything like this, it’s about Sir Randell.”
“Anyway, my friend sometimes has a problem with his snout.”
[Khehehe! Lord! Lord! really the best! Oh what do I do! The lord often makes this Rakir’s heart beat!]
While Randel tilted his head, Rakir trembled like a flatterer.
Rakir, who was rolling on the floor showing his fangs several times, explained that the Maktoum that Yuma had just killed was a particularly great nutrient.
[They look like Amanzo-sama made them himself. It must be said that they put so much care into this area. Maktoum is a fairly usable nutrient, but it’s not up to this much.] Of course, the creatures directly touched by the demon’s power had to provide much more nutrients than other monsters.
[nice! I can’t believe I can free Akyla from royalties already! I can’t wait to see how strong the underworld’s body has become! Amanzo’s special Maktoum! It would be nice to have a few more.]
“It’s not that, it’s just that I’m great, you mutt.”
[Of course! sure! Keheheaaa!]
Natalie kicked Rakir far away, who was smiling happily on her stomach without knowing the speed of others.
[girl! Are you crazy! Why are you hitting me again!
Karon!]
Natalie met Yuma’s eyes, ignoring Rakir who was glaring at her.
My heart felt hot as if someone had poured molten iron into it. She hid her expression, barely suppressing her unspeakable frustration.
The cause of the stuffiness was, of course, a sense of incongruity and anxiety.
Anxiety about the image of a lover literally chewing and swallowing a giant monster, and anxiety about what to do when Yuma is no longer human.
These were the emotions that started to settle in Yuma’s heart after he first went to the underworld with Rakir.
It’s always painful when someone you love starts to change in some way.
It was painful for the lover to see that a simple person dreamed of ambition one day and that a gentle person suddenly became cold-hearted.
Even more so, what would it be like to vividly watch your lover getting closer and closer to the demons from the sidelines?
Natalie wanted to hug Yuma right away and shed tears.
Natalie was afraid that Yuma would change,
even if it was to counter the evil of the Demon God. Even if you become a demon at all, I will always be by your side.’
Come to think of it, the term ‘human’ didn’t mean much to her.
She herself lived as a wicked woman in the past and killed countless people.
In some ways, there was a moment when he trampled on someone even more viciously than the demons.
It was a life that was not human to anyone.
From the moment they first met until now, Yuma had never reprimanded or resented her ugly past.
I never even told her to change her dirty and cruel personality or erase the scars on her body. To Yuma, Natalie was just Natalie.
‘When I first saw the rose from Godmother Zishka, she rebelled and yelled at me, but other than that, she just loved me.’
So, she also made up her mind to look at Yuma as Yuma.
After organizing her thoughts for a short time, Natalie opened her mouth while stroking Yuma’s hair.
“Crazy. Do you have any pain from that strange sword?”
“No.”
“That’s cool. Didn’t he just grow horns on his head later? Just like the Demon King you defeated, Empey.”
“well. If it comes out, it will be useful again haha.”
Yuma smiled at Natalie and said.
[It’s hard to understand human love… Master, what do you like about that girl? Twin sword idiot, can you understand?]
The twin sword idiot, Randel Zach, was only saddened by the lack of a lover to exchange affectionate glances with after slashing a monster.
The three of them slowly moved towards the tower.
The tower seen from a close distance was constantly flowing like lava. It was disgusting to see the bubble burst and smoke came out.
“Look carefully.”
When Yuma touched one of the black holes on the tower’s surface, the rapid corrosion of that part really stopped.
The sense of creation and rebirth provided the same ecstasy as in the underworld.
“I will climb the tower by myself. Do you agree with this Jung drawing? I can now chew on a monster like that. It’s much safer than sending reinforcements.”
“good. set limits instead. If there is no news after two hours, we will follow suit. don’t block this And take the mutt.”
[girl! Of course I will follow. On the way to the lord, he can’t miss his servants kya-kya!]
Yuma nodded as if he couldn’t help it.
Before entering the tower, Yuma looked up at the ominous moon hanging in the sky.
A red moon, red like blood.
Randall and Natalie did not know, but Yuma clearly saw that the souls that escaped after absorbing the first Maktoum were sucked into the moon.
‘Amanzo… this tower will be mine.’
Thinking so, Yuma collapsed and reached for the entrance of the half-blocked tower.
