Episode 97. Red Moon (5)
Hwaaak!
Once again, the demons on the 3rd floor dropped two lines of breath. This time, as soon as it reached the second floor area, it seemed that its power rapidly decreased.
[Hey!]
Rakir was startled as he faced the breath that came right in front of him. However, Yuma shot Aura Blaird without difficulty and continued to offset the demons’ breath.
“Don’t try to dodge, just go straight up!”
[Yeah old!]
That was much easier to intercept.
Rakir decided to trust his master and flew diligently toward the third floor.
Yuma opened the Blue Sword Eye and continued to fire Aura Blades and Aura Spheres to keep Rakir from getting hurt.
Using Arilla to absorb the breath was a better way, but predation and black aura were not abilities that Yuma could fully control.
It was better to use a more elaborate blue aura, as it would be the end if the tower collapsed due to failure to control the power.
[This crap. The moment you reach the 3rd floor and become a body, I’ll let you taste the atrocious pain…]
Rakir gritted his teeth and said to himself.
Certainly, even in Yuma’s eyes, the high-level demons who were now shooting breath seemed inferior to Rakir. Even if you compare only the appearance, the feeling of coercion is not an opponent.
flutter.
At some point, Rakir passed the entrance to the second floor. Rakir stretched out his tongue and took a deep breath, as if he was struggling to fly at full speed.
“Don’t get tired man!”
It had only been a minute or so, but Yuma was more anxious than ever.
Can it really be easily solved if Rakir goes to Eula? I couldn’t trust him when I saw him wriggling his hips while flapping his wings.
In addition, it was a matter of the lives of lovers, colleagues, and at least half of the population of the Central Desert.
It felt like risking all my possessions and life on a weak racehorse to see the outcome.
‘How did I end up entrusting my life and the lives of my comrades to the demons?’
I had no choice but to trust him now. Yuma constantly wielded Ascalon to prevent the attacks of the advanced demons from reaching Rakir.
[Hey heck. hey! You said you were confident when I went up, so why are you holding me back like this?]
Rakir’s flight speed dropped noticeably as he approached the third floor.
[Containment is something that borrows human power because it can’t block even a breath like this.]
[It’s nice to see them crawling like bugs.]
That’s a conversation between high-ranking demons… Even the fate of half of the Central Desert is at stake. but In the midst of my anxiety, I was about to burst out laughing.
At this rate, Rakir will reach the 3rd floor within 10 seconds.
But there was a problem.
The two high-ranking demons, who fired breaths non-stop, were preparing to strike Rakir out with their hands as they got closer.
It was a hand with hundreds of fingers like a pile of seaweed. It didn’t seem easy for Rakir to safely pass through that gap.
[It’s time to fall, filthy traitor!]
The hand of a high-ranking demon moved abnormally and fell at a right angle toward Rakir.
Even hook-shaped tentacles protruded from between the grips, and Rakir was in danger of being caught.
Whoa!
At that moment, Yuma released Sword Eye and launched 20 aura spheres.
It was a method I didn’t want to use because it consumed more stamina than Sword Eye, but there was no other option.
As Yuma lifted Ascalon up, the aurora spheres spun fiercely, chasing Rakir all at once.
Thanks to the rapid rotation, the auror sphere soon formed a round belt and wrapped around Rakir.
Kagagagak!
When the aurora sphere touched the demon’s grip, the sound of the metal plates grinding spread. Rakir’s scream was drowned out by the noise.
The purple blood and flesh that fell from the grip of the higher-ranking demons were scattered in the air, causing small explosions.
Soon, the auror sphere radiated brilliance and deflected his huge grip.
The breath of other demons that came in between them was also distorted by the gravitational force of the auror sphere.
With this much power, it was actually at a level where it could inflict considerable damage on high-ranking demons without sending Rakir up.
Since he used it to protect Rakir, it was as if Yuma had opened up a hand to use in future battles.
“If you fail, know how to absorb you too!”
[Thank you, lord!]
Finally, Rakir used his last strength to break through the third floor boundary.
Even at that moment, the higher-ranking demons booed Rakir, calling him a traitor.
But it didn’t take long for the booing to turn into fear.
Woodeuk Wooddeuk!
Rakir’s body, which was like a furry puppy, began to change.
The spine expanded and dozens of pairs of new wings sprouted.
The fangs and long, dark claws that seemed to trample on anything seemed to prove that Rakir was indeed a high-level demon who had lived for over 2,000 years.
The advanced demons were as huge as the military sailboats, but they looked almost like mice in front of Rakir.
As Rakir predicted, the third floor of the tower was in the underworld.
No, it was exactly the same environment as the remnants of the underworld where Amanjo had brought Yuma in the past.
‘If this place is the remnants of the underworld, then from the 4th floor onwards, it must be completely underworld. It seems that Amanzo-sama forcibly created the underworld with royalties. You’re absolutely crazy.’
As soon as Yuma confirmed the change in Rakir, he let out a sigh of relief.
It was a bit smaller, but that was definitely the true face of Rakir, full of dignity he had seen in the underworld.
Rakir, the demon of the south of the underworld.
The demon who first swore allegiance to Yuma.
As soon as the transformation was over, he was the first to drop his head like a mountain toward his master below. it is an example
The incarnated Rakir, as always, showed a completely different personality from when he was in the human world.
[You have worked hard, you are the only human who will rise to the throne of the Demon God. I will carry out your order.]
Rakir’s voice spread like the echo of a cave. The advanced demons managed to suppress their fear and attempted an attack.
Breath and all kinds of magic from the underworld poured into Rakir’s body. Black flames rose and hundreds of tentacles attacked Rakir.
All of them were magic that even Yuma had experienced.
From the days when he was a skeleton until recently when his skin was formed to some extent, Yuma had been helpless by those magics.
Rakir did not avoid their magic and welcomed them as they were.
[Did you do everything?]
Even after receiving their joint attack, there wasn’t even a small scratch on Rakir’s body.
[Lee Ii Ik!]
The upper level demons trembled as if they couldn’t admit it.
And Rakir’s yellow eyes were covered with purple eyes. It will wake up.
The view from the third floor that Yuma was looking at was dyed purple.
That was it.
As the demonic eyes spread out like a veil subsided, Yuma was able to see the appearances of high-ranking demons whose bodies were ripped off in ugly places.
The bones and flesh of the creatures that had fallen from their bodies clung to the wings of Rakir’s tooth claws like a mosaic.
Rakir restricted their vision and movement for a while with the Mystic Eye, and then ruthlessly trampled them.
Rakir shook his body as if it was not a big deal and brushed off their flesh.
Smoke rose from the damaged bodies of the upper-class demons. It was a movement to start regeneration.
[My lord is not a person that you and other clumsy servants dare to look down on. Go down quickly and pay for your sins.]
Quaaaaang!
Rakir swung his forepaw like a hammer and hit the high-ranking demons.
Eyeballs popped out and teeth and jaws were shattered when they were hit in the head, but they fell downstairs still holding on to their breath.
As soon as they passed the 2nd floor boundary, the main body of the upper demons disappeared. They turned into shapeless ghosts, but they became like that because they had no body to possess.
[My lord, I will go up to the fourth floor first and look at the hazards. Looking at the situation on the 3rd floor, it seems that there is no time.]
“No time?”
[yes. It seems that the present Demon God has done too much. I hope you finish the interrogation quickly and come up. By the way, starting from the 3rd floor, the master’s body will also become the underworld.]
Rakir bowed his head again and then turned around and spread his wings.
Then, he blew down the ceiling on the third floor by shooting an ignorant breath that was on a different level from that used by high-ranking demons.
From the 4th floor, a world as dark as darkness unfolded. The interior of the same tower was unbelievably wide.
Rakir flapped dozens of pairs of wings all at once and pushed himself into them.
Because it disappeared so quickly, Yuma couldn’t even ask Rakir for details.
‘Are you going to become famous? What did he see on the third floor?’
For now, I thought it would be better to follow Rakir’s words.
Yuma looked down at the two high-ranking demons spread out like mats under her feet.
The ones clinging to the floor looked like big mold.
Hwareuk!
Yuma put Amoula next to them and crossed his arms.
“Explain why Amanzo built this tower.”
Dismissed! Paperweight!
With quality prey next to it, Amulla showed ferocity like a hungry beast.
The higher-ranking demons, terrified, procrastinated and relayed their voices to Yuma.
[Wealthy red moon…]
“What?”
[The ceremony to bring the red moon to the ground. Please take us too.
Like that Rakir please…]
“What happens when I bring it to the ground?”
[The fusion of the underworld and the human world…
please reap us into your household!]
“Convergence. Does that mean that the distinction between the two dimensions will disappear…?”
[Please!]
Fu-wook.
I couldn’t hear anything more.
Yuma moved Amula to the side and absorbed them. More power flowed in than all the Demons on the 2nd and 3rd floors combined, but it wasn’t fun at all.
No matter how bold Yuma was, he couldn’t help but be taken aback when he heard that the explosion that blew away half of the central desert was the fusion of the underworld and the human world.
‘What the hell is this all about? If I’m not careful, it could lead to a much more serious situation than during the dragon horse war before returning.’
If the underworld and the human world were combined, all the demons active in the human world, including the demon god Amanzo, could have become a body.
Of course, it won’t be perfect because there is an absolute law called ‘Limit Intervention’, but even thinking that the current army led by Amanjo would be twice as strong made me dizzy.
‘for a moment. Dimensional Collapse? You bastard, Amanzo… did you think you would blow up half of the central desert if things went wrong?’
It was ‘minimal’ to the extent that half of the central desert would be blown away when a dimension collapse occurred.
Maybe not half, but the whole might disappear from the map.
A mythological explosion that could only be described in religious texts. Chills ran down my spine at the thought that such far-off destruction could really happen.
‘Whether half is blown away or all is blown away, the East is virtually destroyed.
If convergence is achieved, even to the West…
After returning, my shoulders have never felt as heavy as they do now. More than ever, the fear as a human being and the sense of responsibility as a regressor arose more intensely.
Without thinking further, Yuma reached out his hand toward the third floor.
Then, the structures built along the Shelob unit training ground in the front yard above Puang of the Jacques’ gymnasium melted like snow.
The melted structures soon became a spiral staircase connecting the 1st to 4th floors.
Yuma took a deep breath and stepped onto the first step.
