Episode 106. The closer the great last (2)
Magi got, the clearer the sound became.
Yuma was sure now.
The sound was the explosion of high-ranking demons using destructive magic.
Even though I was far away from the spot where the flare exploded, my vision was as bright as broad daylight.
Not long after, Yuma crossed the hill and began to see the demons one by one.
Kaa! Kaak!
Thousands of demons were screaming at the bottom of the high sand dunes.
Yuma took out the Ascalon while calming his throbbing chest.
There must be Mantu somewhere in the gap between those bastards of demons to rip and kill.
With a monkey-like face, Mantuga joked with Yuma, saying, “It’s the first time I’ve ever had a junior colleague like you, who is as ruthless as you,” or regretted not being able to meet juniors like Duran Jacques and Hugo.
It was a short relationship of less than ten days, but Yuma considered Mantu like a friend.
It was a fact she knew all too well that her friendship with him had a limited time limit. He had finished organizing his mind to cut Mantu.
‘But this isn’t it!’
I was so angry that my head would explode.
However, one fight was enough to lose reason. You shouldn’t even get drunk with anger yourself.
In my mind, I wanted to jump among the demons infested with cockroaches right away.
I wanted to kill them with all my might.
After being taught even Mantu’s taijutsu, Yuma had the confidence to fight better than ever.
If it wasn’t for the position of being responsible for the lives of 50,000 people as the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Allied Forces, Yuma would have gotten off Tulka and dealt with those numerous demons alone.
‘Let’s get our sanity back. Now, first of all, you have to figure out the situation and go back and prepare anew…
There were as many as two Demon Lords. If they fought, there was nothing they couldn’t win, but the demons might have dug a hole and finished preparing to attack the main force of the Allied Forces.
Yuma calmly began to look at the demons. Strangely, I didn’t feel Galos’ aura.
Soon, Yuma was able to confirm who the two beings emitting demon lord-level magic were.
As expected, one of them was Mantu. The Grand Master of the past, who has undergone virtualization and has not a single resemblance to his original form.
There was no longer a subtle glow in Mantu’s eye sockets. He just stood still, like a beast abandoned in a strange place, with his body turned black like charcoal.
It was as if the scars all over her body were opening just by watching them.
What was strange was the fact that thousands of demons were constantly pouring destructive magic on the demonized Mantu.
Mantu, who became a demon king-level demon, did not budge even while being baptized with magic. It almost looked like it was being blown by the wind.
And another demon king class demon.
He was the first person I saw. It was a man with a spear lowered while riding on a dark horse that would never be smaller than Tulka.
‘Ragatino Rollmandi?’
Yuma could guess who he was.
If it wasn’t for Gallos, the only person who would have possessed demon lord-level power is now Lagatino, who is known as the commander-in-chief of the demon army.
chuck!
Ragatino raised the spear in a controlled manner.
The tip of the spear pointed directly at Yuma. The demons who had been pouring magic on Mantu stopped all at once and moved their gaze to the sand dune where Yuma was standing.
Mantu, who had been enduring the pouring magic, also looked up at Yuma.
Yuma looked at Mantu, not caring about the murderous gazes of the other demons.
I couldn’t read the expression.
I couldn’t feel anything in Mantu’s empty eye sockets. It was a completely empty face, devoid of any emotions such as anger, sadness, joy, surprise, and bewilderment.
[Kill him.]
Ragatino Rollmandi’s gloomy voice rang out.
Then, the demons began to use magic again. This time, he was aiming at Yuma, not Mantu.
As Yuma summoned Amula to defend it, Mantu struck the ground with his fist.
Hundreds of Demons were instantly killed by the shockwave caused by that blow.
The most surprised was Yuma.
It wasn’t because Mantu attacked the demons to help him.
Losing his reason, Mantu never recognized Yuma as a target for protection or as an ally. Immediately, Yuma was also struck by Mantu’s punch.
The reason Yuma was surprised was because of its power.
Hundreds of demons exploded despite lightly punching them without any preparation.
As soon as the punch aimed at him bounced off, a tremendous shock was transmitted as if his palm would be torn apart.
‘It wasn’t the demon king level…’
Would it be this much if he took a light blow from Duran or Hugo? Chills ran down his spine and goose bumps ran down his forearms.
The demon king, who uses the body that was forcibly formed in the human world, not the main body of the underworld, was no longer a fearful existence for Yuma.
Although he is the weakest of the demon lords, Yuma slashed Iakl alone a while ago. It wasn’t even a fierce struggle like when he was fighting Empey.
It was only natural that Yuma had become that much stronger after the decisive battle on Pora Pora Island.
Among the Demon Lords, the only one who pushed Yuma to the limit was Gude.
However, that was only because he fought with his body in the Underworld, and even Gud couldn’t compete with Yuma in the human world.
However, it was not the current Mantu.
He was far beyond the power that a demon king could produce in the human world, which Yuma was familiar with.
Unlike the demon lords, Mantu, who became a demon, has no restrictions on intervention.
Even Jeka, who was not even a high-ranking sword master before returning, became able to deal with the entire capital knights as the mineization progressed.
Not to mention Mantu, the Grand Master, has become a Mine.
At least the power of Hwa-an is missing, but its destructive power is indescribable.
Becoming a Mine was something Mantu himself had never thought of. The reason he explained to Yuma that the time given to him was 10 days was to estimate the speed at which his power would weaken.
The fact that he taught taijutsu to Yuma didn’t mean to ask him to kill himself as a demon.
It was because he wanted to kill himself, who would become weak after his manifested anger was completely extinguished.
Killing Natalie’s tracking party was a mistake she had made when she had just been resurrected and hadn’t been able to properly hold onto her reason.
For Mantu, who believed that he had perfect control over his body and mind as a military man all his life, it was a mistake that was difficult to admit.
That’s why Mantu answered ‘not me’ to Natalie’s question, and did not calculate that he could become a monster with only the instinct to kill.
Lagatino was also quite taken aback by Mantu’s sudden action. His black horse, which was so huge that it made me feel like a mother, was afraid of Mantu, so it was fighting like crazy.
[Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
!
When Mantu screamed, the Demons who ran to him, unable to grasp the situation, were swept away like fallen leaves.
Only then did the other demons begin to realize that something was wrong.
The energy emitted by Mantu made even Yuma’s face tingle from a distance.
The low-level demons were already crushed by the energy and fell flat on the floor, shivering and dying like insects being trampled on.
[Fix the battle lines! Middle- and upper-class demons, retreat and prepare your camp!]
Lagatino showed the most demonic appearance than any other Demonlord Yuma had ever seen.
As Ragatineau raised his spear high and let out a grotesque voice, huge sand dunes rose up all around.
It was the cave that Niacle used when attacking the Kuzan Castle.
A huge number of demons started pouring out of the cave where the sand fell like a waterfall.
The Demon Army led by Ragatino passed through the Gray Forest and was in ambush here. The Demons now coming out of the cave were originally troops to attack the allied forces trying to enter the Gray Forest.
However, because of Mantu’s rampage, it has now appeared.
Mantu’s main prey, which struck the ground first, was so powerful that many of the demons that came out of the burrow were already dead.
It was the demon army’s terrible handshake that saved Mantu by offering all sorts of sacrifices, including the gray forest.
Mantu was poised to destroy everything without distinguishing between friends and even living things and objects.
[Generals, follow me!]
Lagatino led the generals and started to charge at Mantu. Even then, Yuma was looking down at the demons from the top of the hill.
‘Mantu…!’
Yuma had to choose.
Whether to watch Mantu, who has become a monster, go down the hill like that devil’s land and shoot him.
After the first punch, Mantu didn’t aim for Yuma.
However, Yuma could be sure of two things.
The first was that it was impossible to stop Mantu with only those demons led by Ragatino, and the second was that after killing all the demons, Mantu would surely come running to kill himself.
The reason Mantu started killing the non-Yuma tribes first was because they were closer.
Yuma didn’t hesitate for long.
‘When the demons retreat, they kill Mantu and return.’
It wasn’t a matter of choosing in the first place.
No matter how close he was to Mantu, no matter how great a grandmaster he was in the past.
If he had become an immeasurably dangerous being as of now, if it wasn’t too far from the main Allied Forces, where 50,000 troops are staying.
that must be removed.
That was the mission as a regressor before the responsibility of the commander-in-chief. Mourning and remembrance came after everything was over.
‘How long can Ragatino and the Demon Cubs last against Mantu?’
The key was how much damage both the Demon Army and Mantu suffered.
The battle intrusion should have started when Mantu’s power was as low as possible.
[Die!]
The three generals who rushed along with Lagatino rushed first. Mantu, as he showed throughout training with Yuma, simply sealed their movements and then took his life.
Anyway, the reason Lagatineau gathered the generals was not to inflict direct damage on Mantu.
It was just to make a gap for himself to attack and to buy time.
Then, the advanced demons who fell behind began to drop their magic, and that was also an order given by Ragatino to disrupt Mantu.
Losing his temper, Mantu had a habit of slashing everything that came his way. Lagatino knew that at once.
‘Ragatino Rollmandi. Damn you, you have good eyesight.’
Of course, Yuma was also reading Mantu’s battle pattern. Yuma took a close look at Lagatino, lightly knocking out the magic or artillery fire that happened to come at him.
Lagatineau’s first attack was a stab. Rollmandy’s infamous spinning stab.
Mantu twisted the shaft with his fingers to twist the trajectory, and Lagatineau’s attack was immediately nullified.
Mantu’s kick pierced the black horse’s body. Lagatino, as expected, fell off the horse and delivered the next blow.
The bizarre darkness that put Yuma in danger in the lord’s castle of Hayes in the past hung on the tip of Lagatino’s spear.
It was a dark stab.
