Episode 35
‘What is it?’
For a moment it was questioned.
It was because I couldn’t understand why the guy in front of me was so confident.
Because of Asar’s god?
Obviously, if you are a god of that disgusting existence, you have no choice but to be vigilant.
one.
‘It’s already been consumed.’
The energy of the divine being, which should have been filled with it originally, could only be felt weakly. It will take three more days before it can be used again.
It knew it instinctively.
That’s why it’s confusing.
What on earth do you believe in that?
“You’re bluffing.”
“It doesn’t matter if you think so.”
Mikhail took it lightly and smiled.
It was confirmed once again.
The bluff is obvious.
No, even if it’s not a bluff, it doesn’t really matter. There is only one way to incapacitate yourself anyway.
If he doesn’t know that single method, he can’t defeat himself no matter what.
“Does not matter…right. That’s right.」
It giggled as it returned the words he had said.
“No matter what you do, you just have to bite and swallow it.”
Well, why do you worry so much about catching just one human?
It took a step.
* * *
Commander of the 7th Corps < The Ugly Lord >.
It was destroyed after a long battle with Milium before returning.
Even Milium, who was called the ‘Emperor of the Sword’ because of his numerous achievements, the best was to destroy it with the commander of the 7th corps.
On the contrary, it would be better to say that even he struggled.
The existence of a corps commander was so powerful that the probability of annihilation was extremely low.
If it had been before they awakened, it might have been different.
An incomplete corps commander can only become a slightly stronger demon.
However, the perfected ones were different.
When it is complete, it regains its ‘true name’.
It’s not a nickname like “The Ugly Lord”.
The name they were called in my world.
Jinmyeong is power.
The “power” of a corps commander was like a disaster in our world.
Those who regained the power of true names are worthy of being called demigods.
but.
‘That’s the story before the return.’
It’s different now.
It still has a long way to go before he awakens, and he hasn’t swallowed a single proper sacrifice.
It’s true, though, that it’s dangerous.
The guy handles the shadows.
Especially in this underground where shadows exist everywhere, his power is maximized.
“I will come with food. Little things will no longer be useful.”
With that, he reached out his hand to the left.
In that direction are children.
“< Shield >.”
Caang!
I just spread my magic and blocked it.
“Oh, stop it?”
He grinned.
“I am satisfied. these little ones. It could be a more useful chess piece than I thought.”
“< Wind Spear >.”
Test the attack magic of the 3rd circle and throw it at the guy.
However, it was futile enough to simply get eaten by his shadow and disappear.
‘As expected, normal attacks don’t work. Asking Milium to protect the outskirts was the answer.’
servants of the demons.
In particular, the monarch-level archevil called ‘Brigade Commander’ is not a being that can guarantee victory with simple physical force.
There is a possibility of subduing him easily with the help of Milium, but the opposite possibility is not small.
‘It’s true that it’s definitely difficult to deal with.’
Of course, it’s not easy to deal with even a country that knows its weaknesses.
All the shadows I can see now are his weapons.
A shadow can be a whip, a spear, or a tooth.
that’s why it’s scary
It’s not easy to get an accurate sense of how the attack will come and how to deal with it.
It was then.
“How about this?”
With a smirk, he again moved his shadow towards the children.
“Eating me is nothing. I’m not human, so I don’t have any remorse.”
“….”
“If you must die,”
he said, looking at me.
“I wonder if these things will die because of you.”
“If you can, try it.”
The attitude of using children casually.
But I have no intention of showing emotion.
Rather, the more he does, the more he will see it as a weakness and shake it even more.
I quietly called Set, who was watching the situation.
“set.”
[Say.]
“You don’t have to protect me, so you take care of those children.”
Even if ‘absolute defense’ is gone, the storm is still a force with strong defense.
[Then you…?]
“You don’t have to worry about me, I’ll do it myself.”
[Okay.]
She immediately nodded and turned to the children.
「Oh, did you give up the protection of the divine to protect those little things? Foolish.’
He stretched out his hand.
“Well, I like it.”
That moment.
keying!
Sharp thorns protruded from the shadows underfoot.
“< blink >.”
Short-distance space travel magic.
As soon as I dodged his attack, I immediately counterattacked.
“Multicasting. Wind cutter.”
Immediately, the wind cutters cut the shadows in front of them all at once.
‘Just attacked. It’s not fast.’
Speed Accuracy Utilization….
Either way is definitely weaker than before the regression.
「Whoops, how long can I stop my attacks without the protection of the storm?」
As if it was just a matter of time, his shadow increased the attack speed towards me.
A dangerous situation in which even if he hesitated just once, the magic would fail and limbs could be torn.
Quaguagua!
Every time he had a chance, he touched the children and tried to shake me, but I didn’t get swept away.
‘Set’s defense is strong.’
If she was determined and blocked, it would be impossible for anyone to break through.
「What the hell are you doing to avoid everything like this?!」
He got annoyed and attacked me with a shadow, but I predicted even that and avoided all of them.
‘The speed and destructive power are lower than expected. After all, it’s not difficult to avoid, and the entire path is visible.’
A shadow is a powerful force.
The only ‘sacrificial’ he ate was a rat.
In other words, the current guy can only think about the level of a rat.
Even if you hear a powerful weapon, if there is a flaw on the side that wields it, nothing will go well.
If there’s a problem….
‘Mana.’
More than half of the mana was already consumed to avoid his attack.
I also can’t hold it for long.
then.
“< Blink > < Haste >.”
I immediately closed the distance with him.
In the process, he attacked me from various directions, trying to find an opening somehow.
‘We have to see the match here.’
Considering the nature of shadows flying from anywhere, the shield is constantly consumed.
Of course, it is next to impossible to hold out for long.
That moment.
“…?!”
In an instant, his attack pierced his shoulder.
Fu-wook!
‘Damn it!’
Pain felt in an instant.
But be patient.
Instead of screaming, somehow the next spell comes right through.
‘Rather, use this as an opportunity!’
Seeing that the attack hit me directly for an instant, I aimed for the moment when his face was filled with joy… …
‘done!’
In an instant, I crossed the barrier of shadow he had erected.
Now it’s really in front of you.
“Ha.”
He let out a laugh and stretched out his arm.
“What did you think would happen if you narrowed the distance?”
The moment I stepped out, the shadow prepared beneath me tried to suck my foot in.
That moment.
“< Multicasting >.”
Multi-casting was given to the two magics that had been activated in advance, < Blink > and < Hast >.
3 stacks each.
In an instant, my body jumped through space three times. And in an instant, it reached right in front of the guy’s nose.
“hmm…?!」
And at that point.
“haha! A wizard voluntarily closes the distance? This has become fun again!」
The shadows surrounding him became dozens of spears and fired at me.
[Mikhail!]
Set screamed.
To her, it might look like I volunteered to throw myself with my limbs.
but.
“done.”
“…?!」
I rather laughed.
The smile on his face crumpled.
“…Are you laughing?」
In front of your nose.
After breaking through his thorns and putting all the remaining mana into his right hand, he grabbed his face.
And I memorized what I had prepared.
“< Be good. Give. >.”
eulogy.
He must have sensed something at that moment, and he screamed coldly.
[Oh no!]
However, the shield that was holding it blocked the thorns that had come right in front of me.
Clink!
With a sharp sound, the shield could no longer hold out and shattered.
But it doesn’t matter.
The spell to bind him like this is already coming out of my mouth.
“< Remember the old kindness. The shadows of those who have passed are short, but the footprints they have laid are long and eternal... ... >”
“A eulogy for charity? How can a mere human… …!」
Charity eulogy.
A long forgotten phrase.
This isn’t the first time demons have invaded the world.
Although the strength was weak, the demon god always had its eyes on this world.
Each time there was a warrior.
The hero faced and defeated his adversary in each era.
After defeating him, he weaved his own life and built a ‘eulogy’ to bind the wicked enemy… ….
‘A eulogy is something that is carved into the soul itself.’
must be reached
Before returning, I desperately searched for a way to annihilate the corps commander.
Even if the 7th corps commander had already been annihilated by the sword empress, there was no law that the same situation would not happen again.
There were many possibilities even on the bad side.
and finally found
A eulogy to tie them down.
At the point when they regained their names and were completed, there was no way to do it, so I didn’t even have a chance to write a eulogy, but now it’s different.
“Have you not found your name yet?”
“…?!”
“I have no honor as a corps commander, and I am not strong enough to ignore the deterrence of our world.”
A eulogy binds the soul.
Sentences towards the dead.
In short, it completely destroys the immune system against the restraints of this world that it is struggling to have.
“dare…!」
At that point, he had no time to think otherwise.
As it was, the shadow filled the basement and shot at me.
one.
“Why did I shorten the distance?”
“…?」
Of course, it’s to preoccupy the safe zone when you make a last-ditch effort like this.
About four feet from him.
< The Ugly Lord > cannot harm itself.
I didn’t have to do it, but I couldn’t.
“done.”
He grabbed the man’s head with a look of bewilderment.
“You get out of here.”
With those words, I put the end of the eulogy in my mouth.
To never be able to find the name he cherishes so much.
“The ugly lord Baalzebub.”
It’s not him, I put the name myself.
If you simply put your name in it, it would be a good thing for him, but if it becomes the end of the ‘eulogy’, the story is different.
In short, the ‘name’ he so longed for would be the last move to end his life.
That moment.
Kwajik.
The rat’s shell, which had been covering the rat’s entire body, had fallen off.
“Uh, how can you…!」
Shivering and incredulous.
“How can you name me…?!”
“I don’t need to know.”
He said he came from a future where he was defeated by you once.
It cannot be said that the desperate efforts at that time bore fruit here.
I don’t think so.
“Go away.”
With those words, I memorized the last sentence.
“< Be kind. >.”
Great mage who transcends by regression
