The Great Mage who transcends by regression Episode 238
Duk Duk.
Ariok finally stood in front of the Palace of the Water Kings, dragging the drops of blood that fell to the ground.
Only the warriors he sacrificed until he stood here are easily over 100.
Among them, there was a strong man who was said to be within ten fingers in this garam.
The end of the bloody road.
Whatever the process, he proved himself as the title of the Blood Lion.
And it was like having the qualifications to challenge the king.
– The blood lion finally takes on the challenge… ….
– What about this time?
There was also a warrior who looked at the blood lion’s progress with a worried heart.
– Now our time has come.
– If the king falls, the devil will prevail… ….
The cheers of the demons who had been hiding in the dark, oppressed by the presence of the king, could also be heard.
Leaving all those emotions behind, Ariok shouted while standing in the Palace of the Water King.
“King!”
cooong!
Truly the Lion’s Roar.
A group of warriors took a step backwards, not even dare to fight.
“A qualified challenger has come here, so if you are truly a warrior of Garam, open this door and accept the challenge!”
With Ariok at the center, enormous momentum flared up like an active volcano.
‘This time it’s different!’
Everyone in the area intuited that he was of a different rank than the other warriors who had challenged the king until now.
And the door slowly opened.
It’s like you’ve been waiting for him from the beginning.
A girl came out of the open door and greeted him.
One of the onlookers gave a small sigh and shouted.
“Isn’t that girl the last survivor of that love song!”
“Huh how… ….”
The culprit of extinction and its survivors.
Yeon Mi-ryeo only glared at Ariok, but did not take any other action.
Ariok looked at her with interest and said.
“Haha, isn’t that the girl I sent alive that day? Are you going to take revenge?”
“…Blood Lion.”
“Yes, I am a blood lion.”
Ariok smiled as he saw Yeon Mi-ryeo staring at him. A smile with a lot of blood as before.
Ariok felt a deep murderous intent.
be used to.
yes these eyes atmosphere.
There is no meaning at all to beg for salvation as it was back then.
It is meaningful to break down and break down those vengeful eyes.
“Did you borrow the king’s authority to get revenge on me? Well, that’s a smart choice. It will be difficult for you right now.”
“I am there to watch.”
Yeon Mi-ryeo’s fists clenched with strength.
But she somehow kept her emotions under control.
decided
to watch it all.
Courage without measures is reckless.
She remembered once again what the ‘hero’ had said to her.
– Be confident.
The fact that he couldn’t finish the silver circle with his own hands might feel miserable.
But the important thing.
– Must not be bent.
that she ‘doesn’t break’.
She raised her head and looked at the blood lion with proud eyes.
It is still full of a sense of intimidation and murder that makes the body shrink.
but nonetheless.
“Hoo.”
She faced the blood lion directly.
His eyes are filled with firm will as if he will not break any more.
As if having fun, the blood lion pressed her shoulders more blatantly.
“Ugh…!”
If it was an ordinary warrior, it wouldn’t be strange even if it collapsed.
No, if it had been her before, she wouldn’t have been able to hold on like that.
but.
“Go ahead.”
she didn’t break
Far from bowing his head, he confidently faces his enemy.
“Because I will watch your end with my own two eyes today.”
“It’s the end.”
The blood lion took a step closer, as if he didn’t like the words.
“How about this? After defeating the king, I’ll rip you to death first.”
“….”
“You die a brutal death at my hands helplessly without even becoming a survivor.”
I could feel the fishy smell of blood in the hand that the Lioness held out.
“Do you really think you can stand like this in front of me at that time?”
dark life.
Still, she was fine.
Instead of averting her eyes or sitting down, she glared at him with sharp eyes.
“Then I will die proudly.”
He said it as if he would no longer run away from his enemies.
“her.”
At those words, the blood lion widened his eyes.
Then… ….
“haha!”
I took my life and laughed.
“Right. Does it come out like that?”
He smiled happily and walked past Yeonmi-ryeo.
back.
After the blood lion passed by, her clenched fists trembled violently.
But that’s it.
Even though she feels resentment for the blood lion who passed her by.
‘are you okay.’
I held my head upright.
yes it’s okay
Because he wasn’t wrong.
…As the warrior said.
Soon everyone will be proven right, not just you.
Knowing that fact, she was able to hold on confidently without collapsing.
* * *
I saw Ariok coming from afar.
Although his body is smaller than before the return, he is definitely a bastard.
Distinct smell of blood that can be felt from a distance.
“…I cannot ignore it.”
Ariandel frowned in displeasure.
Because she is a saint, she must feel more strongly than anyone else the ominousness of Ariok.
“How many people’s blood and despair have you eaten? You can smell such a thick blood… ….”
“Yes, it is heterogeneous. All great demons always covet human flesh and blood, but that one… …Even that process is just a part of my search.”
Yes, the existence of Ariok is certainly heterogeneous.
Because that cruelty ultimately results in the value of martial arts.
The reason he wants to defeat the Beast King is not to gain credit for the Demon God. To the end, aiming for enlightenment resulting from it.
That’s his way of doing things.
“…It won’t be easy.”
Lian also looked at me with a puzzled expression and asked.
“That Ariok. Being the archevil isn’t the problem. Even as a warrior, he is perfected.”
“I guess so.”
There is no way that the Beast King would have suffered so much from a fake before returning.
“Are you not worried? Of course, there is no doubt that His Highness the Beast King is also a soldier close to the pinnacle… ….”
“are you okay.”
A few days ago I saw
One blow.
Considering the blow the Beast King showed, it could be said that he would not be defeated.
Lian looked at the Beast King, then looked at my eyes, then nodded as if he understood.
“…What if.”
“of course.”
When it comes to winning or losing, I’m definitely certain of the beast king’s victory.
but.
“It will be different if he crosses the line.”
“…hmm?”
“So far, he has never crossed the line as a warrior of Garam. It’s not that I did a good deed. That means he acted as a ‘unmanned man’.”
unmanned.
Life and death occur quite frequently within Garam.
Dying and killing is not a special thing for unmanned people, but what is involved in the process is important.
The presence or absence of martial arts.
Although the standards of martial arts are ambiguous, any definition strictly prohibits the use of anything other than the power acquired through training.
For example, the body of the bastard.
If he somehow manages to survive after being defeated in a confrontation and frees himself, then he becomes Garam’s enemy.
In other words, it doesn’t matter if I intervene with him as a ‘hero’.
Because there is no reason for Garam to protect a non-military.
“…So are you inducing it?”
“No, nothing special will happen if Ariok really accepts the game and accepts extinction.”
Yes, if that’s really the case.
But that was then.
[Mihail.]
I was just watching from a distance, but Ariok’s gaze was directed directly towards me.
bright red eyes.
Cold, hardened eyes were quietly watching me.
“Hmm did you hear?”
[As expected, I’m pretty quick-witted.]
Of course, it wasn’t unexpected.
If it is the Great Devil, of course, it is very sensitive to divine power.
Even if it was the Great Devil who had found his true name, it wouldn’t be strange for him to feel my presence.
‘It doesn’t matter.’
At first glance, it seems that he noticed it when he entered the palace, and he probably wouldn’t bother.
He knows very well that I can’t be hasty.
I would rather use it.
[Are you okay?]
“Of course. It doesn’t matter if he realizes it or not.”
The source of his confidence is one.
Confidence that he would surely win the battle of the Beast King.
Besides, as long as this place is ‘Garam’, I, a hero of the religion, must think that I can’t intervene.
It’s not a bad judgment.
yes no
But what if that ‘reasonable judgment’ is distorted from the premise?
Defeat.
If you are defeated by a mere human whom you despise so much… ….
‘I’ll watch.’
I mean, what choice would you make?
* * *
“I want to challenge you, my king.”
“I accept the challenge.”
The Beast King calmly nodded at the words of the Blood Lion.
The blood lion is evil, but it certainly has qualifications as a warrior.
‘I’m sure he didn’t know.’
It’s hard to imagine that he’s a warrior who focuses on speed even when he’s staring at the blood lion head-on like this.
However, after hearing the story from the warrior in advance, there is something that seems different.
little habit.
His every step is strangely light. It’s hard to believe that the sound is coming from that gigantic body.
It’s hard to tell if you haven’t even looked closely.
“If I beat you, I’ll be able to take everything as a winner.”
“Yes. If you win, that is.”
At those words, a deep smile appeared on the lips of the Blood Lion.
Rather than a smile, it seemed like it was just an intention to kill.
“You will win. I came all the way here just for that martial art.”
“Is that why you killed innocent soldiers so brutally for that?”
“exactly. Aren’t the soldiers dying anyway? I was just like everyone else.”
“There was no reason to insult him so much.”
“No, it is only natural that the weak will be weeded out. I was just following the rules.”
The conversation that followed between the two only drew parallels without understanding each other.
Both felt that further conversation was unnecessary.
Even if it continues, there is no way for each other to understand each other.
“The conversation ends here.”
“You are right.”
The two posed at the same time.
Powerful momentum blazed from both sides and wrapped around the area.
The ground sank and collapsed with only the pressure of momentum.
cooong!
And the moment the silence descends.
Hoo-wook.
The blood lion moved.
The right leg is pulled back as far as possible.
The blood lion disappeared in front of the Beast King at a speed unbelievable for a giant body.
It was so fast that even the Beast King could not dare to follow it.
Originally, the Beast King would have allowed the blood lion to strike in vain, bewildered by the unexpected speed.
But he wasn’t upset.
Rather, it seemed to be expected.
“Right.”
“hmm?”
Turn your body lightly to dodge the attack.
A hand barely passed his ear.
The fist of a blood lion that shot through the air.
The two eyes of the blood lion trembled as if they had seen something they shouldn’t have.
“Are you dodging now?”
“I avoided it.”
“What did you do?”
“Do you have any reason to tell me?”
As if he had prepared himself, the Beast King immediately took three steps back.
At the same time, the foot of the blood lion cuts down the spot where he was just before.
A blow that would never have been achieved if it had been hit directly.
No, it should have been a direct hit.
But it didn’t.
As expected, the Beast King simply moved away from his attacking point.
At the same time as you move, you move backward when it is most appropriate.
Even just three steps.
Thoroughly calculated behavior to prevent one’s own actions from being judged carelessly.
‘It was obviously a move that was expected.’
The blood lion’s expression was stained with confusion. Until he came to this position, he had done a lot of calculations.
I saw all the records about the king, and based on that, I thought I’d devised a strategy that he would never escape.
No, surely it must have been?
‘I didn’t avoid it by intuition.’
If he had rather instinctively avoided his attacks, he might have thought of a different approach.
but.
‘different.’
What you have now avoided is clearly different from your ‘gut feeling’.
Such a movement as if he knew that his attack would come in the first place.
There was not the slightest hesitation.
‘Am I reading the future?’
Sometimes there are beings who are gifted with the gift of prophecy.
I haven’t heard that Beast King has such a talent, but it’s not without possibility.
The worry didn’t last long.
Things aren’t comfortable enough to keep other thoughts going for a long time.
But even that is strange.
The Beast King is not attacking.
As if he wanted to attack first, he just watched himself leisurely with his arms crossed.
“I’ve never heard of the king of Garam being a ‘revelator’.”
“I don’t know what you are talking about.”
At those remarks that were unmatched by his composure, the blood lion gnashed his teeth and moved again.
prediction? Does not matter.
Because his own speed can surpass even that by far. If you predict your own ‘future’, all you have to do is destroy the king’s thoughts before they reach that future.
Speed up.
a little faster.
fast.
Shooting at the same speed as light, the blood lion’s fists and feet aimed at the Beast King at random.
Dozens of battles continued in such a short time that it was impossible to recognize when the ground collapsed and collapsed.
but.
“I know! I’m anticipating the trajectory of my attack from the beginning!”
do not reach
As if it were destined to happen, the blood lion’s attack never reached the Beast King.
The Blood Lion growled.
“You expected everything from the beginning and dodged my attack. Otherwise, my penmanship will be blocked… ….”
“You, too, have been hiding that speed before.”
The King said calmly.
“Then, shouldn’t I be able to hide my dagger as well?”
“…under!”
For the Blood Lion, confidence was power.
The pride he maintains is itself and the driving force.
But now that confidence has been shattered.
cruel and ruthless.
His composure, which had completely reigned as a predator, was collapsing.
“Did you predict everything!”
“Think on your own.”
With those words, a long battle ensued.
A blood lion who somehow speeds up and tries to escape the net spread by the Beast King.
But the more he did, the more the net tightened him.
no it wasn’t!
The confrontation he wanted and imagined was not like this. I thought I could definitely tear the king’s flesh and shed his blood without difficulty!
and that moment.
The momentary thought shook him.
“…What?!”
‘now!’
The Beast King moved at the moment when that certainty was cracked in one gap.
It was a very brief gap in the process of constantly using the speed of the blood messenger.
He didn’t miss the chance.
“Ugh!”
At that moment, the blood lion felt it.
Until now, he had pressed at a speed that far exceeded that of the Beast King, but this moment was different.
Only the understanding of nothingness will determine victory or defeat.
‘The desired sea.’
The Xia-Blood Lion laughed.
Did he think that if it was fist-to-fist, he would be able to overwhelm himself?
It’s not even funny.
After descending into the world in his fist, he contained all the martial arts he had accumulated in the process of regaining his true name.
The pitch-black darkness burns.
Roaring!
On the other side, the Beast King also put his strength into a single blow.
Unusually, his fist contained nothing.
There was just one unmanned person there.
A fist, nothing special.
It is incomparable to the daunting blood lion itself. However, ‘possibility’ was contained in that fist.
And they both moved at the same time.
no matter who comes first.
Both fists crossed and crossed each other at the same time.
Wow!
A gale raged across the area.
A thick layer of dust covers the area.
After a while, the dust cleared, and in the middle of the two dolls with their fists outstretched.
“Big black!”
The Blood Lion took a weak step back.
Right next to the left chest.
The left arm of the blood lion, which was an ‘iron wall’, was neatly blown away.
Had he gone a little farther to the right, he would have had a hole in his heart.
The beast king wasn’t all right either.
“Cool!”
Spitting up bright red blood, he knelt once.
‘Was it shallow?’
I thought I had pierced my heart, but maybe it wasn’t enough.
It was like power.
“…Whoa.”
He sighed with a shallow sigh.
at that time.
“Ha ha ha ha ha!”
Stumbling through the dust, the blood lion approached the beast king.
He was wounded, but his heart was fine.
Then it doesn’t matter.
In fact, his left arm, which had evaporated without a trace until just now, had grown back before he knew it.
Confident of victory, he shouted.
“Whoa, that was shallow, King!”
“Ahhh….”
Sighs echoed all around.
Victory or defeat seemed to be decided.
The Blood Lion raised his fist to determine the victory or defeat with certainty.
Bright red blood is burning in his fists, and he is ready to tear apart the body of the Beast King.
That desperate moment… ….
Quaang!
The advance of the Blood Lion was blocked by the sudden intrusion of something.
The Blood Lion frowned when he saw the ‘it’ blocking his path.
“…staff?”
Yes it was the staff.
And at the same time, a voice came from above.
“Stop moving.”
Brilliant golden hair fluttered in the sun, and red eyes shone sharply.
“Are you taking off the bottom?”
It was the appearance of Mikhail Walpurgis,
the owner of the staff .
