Episode 263 Reverse Five Stars (3)
An eerie voice comes from the center of the black air current.
[K-Hahahaha! Every single hair, every toe! Mighty power overflows all over the body! Now, the mana has been sufficiently filled. I swear here and now! The most taboo place in this dimension! He said he would open the ‘Gate of the Abyss’ leading to Hell and exterminate all humans on this land! Despair, you weak and stupid beings! And scream! Dekaravia, the being that brings enormous destruction, has manifested on this earth!]
Seventh City (七番尸) Dekaravia.
It opens one blood-red eye and casts an ominous light on the world.
< 'Seventh City (八番尸)' Decarabia >
Risk level: S+
Size: ?
Discovery Location: ‘Serpent’s Womb’ in the depths of the Gate of Destruction
– also known as the ‘Seventh Corpse’.
One of the ten plagues leading to the natural enemy of mankind, incomprehensible and unkillable.
“Like a swarm of locusts they will sweep away the food.”
– 『Ten Commandments』 10:上 –
Bikir looked at the huge five-point star in front of him.
‘What about the subject with no hair or toes…’
Meanwhile.
Dekarabia rolls her eyes with a look of bewilderment as if she couldn’t grasp the current situation.
But Bikir had a clear understanding of the situation.
‘Dekarabia. The only non-living demon among the tens of thousands.’
There are various forms of demons, but the most unusual case is this inanimate demon.
In fact, there is always a lot of controversy about whether these beings should be viewed as objects or demons.
Depending on the era, it was this Decaravia that used to be classified as a demon and sometimes as an artifact.
However, Dekarabia’s abilities were definitely ‘diabolical’ beyond common artifacts.
Its efficacy is quite simple, with only one ‘shield creation’.
Decaravia’s shield is a strange shield that becomes larger and harder as mana is absorbed. Of course, there is a limit to defense power, but it has a growth value according to the amount of mana absorbed, so it is quite versatile.
Bikir recalled the era of destruction.
‘Dekaravia, which ate the mana of the other nine demons and became gigantic, became a great shield that defended against all of the Human Union’s all-out attacks.’
A shield of reverse pentagram that stood in front of countless human heroes who were tired of battlefield fatigue where everything was on fire.
It was too huge to be called a shield.
Rather, it would have been more appropriate to call it the ‘wailing wall’ that cannot be crossed.
‘The number of heroes who could break through that absolute defense was about to be counted on one hand.’
The red wall soaring high and the black specter trees growing behind it were enough to kill people’s spirits.
but.
Vikir has already obtained the Wraith Tree.
And now, even Dekaravia was in front of me.
‘Now, it can be destroyed.’
The Decaravia Tensangsi, who had not absorbed much mana yet, succeeded in finding this guy before they found it, so now all that was left was to break it down.
Just when Bikir is about to destroy Dekaravia by emitting Sword Master’s aura.
[……I. Excuse me, but who are you?]
Dekarabia spoke up.
Bikir gave a simple answer.
“The one who woke you up.”
[……person? do you mean human? Hoh, in my memory, the human race originally had a more stooped waist and was covered with hair all over the body. He carried a spear or a sword made of ground stones.]
Upon hearing that he was a human, Decarabia started to let go of his words again.
[Are you really saying you’re a human?]
“Yes.”
After speaking, Vikir tried to swing his sword once more.
Today’s Decaravia is much smaller and weaker than it was when it was called the ‘Wailing Wall’, and could be destroyed with enough time.
but.
Dekarabia’s next words were so surprising that Vikir’s sword stopped.
[good night. Weak but lucky man. I will throw off the restraints of the past and prepare to greet a new contractor! From now on, the contract with the demons is settled! Let’s start a new contract with the humans! You are the representative of the contractor!]
“…?”
[ruler! Come on, give us a code of conduct, man! what do you want! They use me to achieve their grand ambitions!]
Vikir paused the knife for a moment.
program? Is it to give an order or something?
As Bikir stands there with a puzzled expression, Dekarabia also blinks with a puzzled expression.
“……?”
[…?]
An awkward silence passed between the two.
Finally, Dekarabia spoke.
[What is human? Did you wake me up without knowing what kind of existence I am?]
“I know. It’s a devil.”
[Haha! That’s only half true. Exactly, it was a ‘devil’.]
Contrary to the terrifying voice at the beginning, Dekarabia continued with a rather friendly tone.
[I am the one who is affected by the person who woke up for the first time.]
“I am influenced by the person who woke me up?”
[Yes. This body falls into a deep sleep every 1,000 years, and at this time, depending on who wakes me up first, the tendency for a thousand years is determined
.
There is no way to know what kind of existence Dekarabia was before that.
In the era of destruction that Bikir experienced, he existed as a devil because the first person to awaken Dekarabia was a devil, but he could have been a completely different being before that.
Decarabia said that a long time ago, there was a time when he passed as an angel.
“hmm.”
Bikir pondered for a moment.
And he spoke.
“So, since I woke you up, are you following my orders for a thousand years?”
[okay. yes. our relationship is At least it will appear in the oral lore that represents your race. Most of all, because the lifespan of your species is short.]
Dekaravia said confidently, but that was out of Vikir’s interest in the first place.
“…I heard you well.”
at the same time.
Whoop!
An aura burned at the tip of Bikir’s sword.
[huh? what are you doing human? Why did you throw a knife at me… Heck!?]
Dekarabia couldn’t finish her words.
It’s because Bikir suddenly brandished his sword and attacked Dekarabia.
Dekarabia twisted in pain and began to squeeze tears from one eye.
[Ahhhhhh- What are you doing, human… No, you are a contractor! Why are you trying to harm my body!]
“Because we can destroy it now.”
[That’s right! Why are you trying to destroy it in the first place!]
“The devil kills.”
Bikir dismissed it briefly.
Pacan! Kwak Kwa Kwa Kwam!
Again, Bikir’s sword drew a complicated trajectory and was stabbed by Dekarabia.
[Quaaaaaagh! Now hold on! wait! Wait a minute! Why are you trying to kill demons then!]
“That’s because demons want to harm humans.”
[Is that so!? If that’s the case, then I’m no longer a demon! In the first place, I’m neither a devil nor a god, just an object-type opart…]
“I don’t believe in the words of the devil.”
Bikir lowered the knife once more.
Woojijikjik!
Decaravia’s huge body began to get smaller and smaller.
Of course, he could only scream and burst into tears.
[Really! No, it’s real! I just quit being the devil!]
“I don’t believe in the words of the devil…”
[You madman! It’s real! You said it earlier! See if you can feel the devil’s energy in my body!]
At that, Vikir paused the knife for a moment.
Come to think of it, I hadn’t felt it since before. The smell of demons that had been filling the warehouse a while ago.
[That’s true. Hehehehehehe…]
Dekaravia started crying like a girl.
Bikir stopped beating Dekarabia for a moment.
“Hmm. I see. Then, have you already ceased to be a demon?”
[okay! I won’t lie!]
“But even so, it’s better to destroy it here before it falls into the hands of the demons…” [
As long as you’re the one who woke me up, it’s no use if the demons get their hands on me! For the next thousand years, I will have no choice but to work for humans!]
Dekarabia desperately shouted at Bikir, who was looking down at him with a suspicious expression.
[I am quite useful! He has an eye for discerning oparts and is knowledgeable about things from a long time ago! You can also make a shield!]
Vikir showed a little interest in the word ‘shield’ among Dekarabia’s words.
Because of his memories before returning, he knew how great Dekaravia’s shield was.
‘The Wailing Wall’.
If only mana was supported, it was possible to build a barrier of absolute defense.
When Bikir seemed to be pondering for a moment, Dekarabia spoke hastily.
[Look. How great I am!]
Dekarabia glanced sideways.
Then, I saw a red-hot magic sword that looked like it would fly towards us at any moment.
It was an opart that had been placed on top of Dekaravia, which had been acting as a shelf not too long ago.
[That’s the ‘Giant Sword of Anger Control Disorder’! It is the sword of the King of the Giants, which was known as a legend long ago. Its attack power is great, but it’s been a long time since it was sealed because of its insane belligerence that attacks everything around it.] As
Dekaravia winked, all the chains binding the sword broke.
Soon after, the huge sword began to fly towards Bikir, drawing a red trail.
Decaravia said to Bikir.
[human! Hurry up, put your hands on my body and try mana management! And draw an image in your head!]
“What image?”
[anything! Whether it’s a shield, a wall, or a barrier! Whatever it is, something that will protect you!]
Vikir put his hand on top of Dekaravia with a confused expression.
OK.
…Suuk!
It was felt that a significant amount of mana was additionally drained.
at the same time. A
translucent
reverse pentagram was drawn in front of Bikir’s eyes.
It seemed to radiate red light, but soon it struck the flying giant’s sword and blew it away.
Kwak!
The knife that flew into the corner of the warehouse was broken in half.
“…”
Vikir was amazed at the defensive power of Dekaravia’s shield ‘Wall of Wailing’.
Even though it was only using a small amount of mana, it was this much.
‘That knife was definitely a high-end op-parts. If something like that is broken so easily, the defense power of the shield is really quite high…’
Bikir thoughtfully put his chin on his chin.
[how is it? Do you finally feel that you want me? do you want me Do you want to own it?]
Bikir said nonchalantly to Dekaravia’s one-eyed smile that was unpleasant.
“Then, give me back the mana I put in.”
[Eh? I gave it to you? After all, human beings…]
“…”
[Ah, I got it! Insert the sword!]
When Vikir held out his palm, Dekarabia mumbled a little bit regretfully, and then spewed out all his mana.
Vikir felt that the mana he had squeezed out just before was restored.
At the same time, Decaravia also got smaller and smaller, eventually shrinking to the size of a baby’s palm.
Dekarabia took a quick look and quickly clung to Vikir’s neck.
Charreuk- Tok-
A red chain that appeared out of nowhere was carefully connected to Vikir’s choker.
It’s like pretending to be a necklace.
[Hmm, what else can I do now, human?]
Dekarabia seems to be worried that Vikir will raise a knife again and recite lines like ‘The devil kills’.
Bikir pondered for a moment before opening his mouth.
“Put out the information of the tens of thousands of people. Without leaving a single one. All.”
[Eh? Information from former contractors?]
After hesitating for a while, Dekaravia soon glanced at the burning aura at the tip of Vikir’s sword and fell into trouble.
[Oh, I see. It’s a bit petty, but let’s cooperate. So please stop making scary noises like destruction.]
Bikir kept the smaller Dekaravia in his arms.
As long as he became the owner of Decarabia, there was no need to destroy it.
No, on the contrary, it will be an even greater loss to the devil.
Tok Tok-
Bikir tapped the Decarabia once, which had become small enough to be worn around his neck.
[ah. I almost forgot this. I don’t respond at all to any living beings other than you, the representative of the contract, so be careful about that, humans.]
Vickir quietly nodded at the precautions given by Dekaravia.
Now is really the time to go outside.
Looking around, the artifacts were all scattered on the floor, losing their light.
In front of Decaravia, he looks intimidated.
Tsutsutsutsutsutsu…
Bikir injected an aura into the tip of Baalzebub.
Baskerville 8 meals. The meeting with Kane Corso, who was hiding in the Tomb of the Swordsman, was a great help to Bikir’s growth.
Flash!
Before long, the aura of a sword master that cuts even things that cannot be cut came out.
Seven large teeth, and a still small yet distinct eighth, ferociously tore through the darkness-filled air.
Boo-wook –
The sound of breaking the barrier explodes loudly.
Bikir squeezed through the cracks in the subspace and went outside.
The night hound has achieved its purpose and now sets off in search of its next prey.
[Ah~ I’m so lucky. In this life, I’m able to serve such a pretty and beautiful ‘mistress’.]
……Somewhere with a slightly strange partner.
