The great mage who transcends by returning Chapter 239
When the fists of Ariok and the Beast King crossed, I captured all the sights with my eyes.
Beast King’s blow I saw.
Truly, the Beast King’s trump card to pierce Ariok’s heart.
It had to be pierced.
If Ariok dealt with the Beast King as a ‘warrior’, surely.
But it didn’t reach my heart.
The blow that should have landed only subtly twisted its path and shattered his left arm.
“The blow that should have been pierced went off as expected….”
“What do you want to say?”
Ariok said to me with a frown on his face.
“Are you sure you want to say that I used witchcraft? Did you use a wicked method unsuitable for martial arts?”
“I know. I am saying that.”
I said that and pulled out the staff I had planted in the ground.
A monster with a body twice as large as mine.
The feeling of intimidation is still considerable.
“You abandoned martial arts, blood lion.”
“….”
At those words, Ariok’s face twisted.
As if he had been greatly insulted.
“Are you suddenly intruding and trying to criticize me with something that isn’t even funny!”
“No, that’s a valid point.”
“dare!”
At my words, Ariok violently stamped the floor with his foot.
thud!
Rough cracks appeared in the area.
Those who watched it screamed and fled the cracking ground.
Of course it couldn’t help me.
In the first place, this kind of attack couldn’t pierce my storm.
“You can’t win with words, so are you trying to suppress me with force?”
“Shut up ‘Hero’!”
Ariok glared at me while giving strength to the word ‘hero’.
oh does it come out like that?
I felt a laugh come out and looked around.
“Wait, that guy is a hero?”
“I hope the hero is here…?”
just as expected.
The mood of the beastmen who were observing the confrontation changed.
The word ‘hero’ is a sensitive matter enough to change the mood in an instant.
He must have been aiming for this in the first place and openly giving power to words like that. Contrary to his appearance, he is quite cunning.
‘From his point of view, I must hide it. If it turns out that I won with authority, that day will be the end.’
It is certain that he won the victory by using his authority as the great devil.
The beast king’s fist, which should have pierced his heart, twisted unnaturally.
If there were priests with outstanding religious beliefs around them, they might have noticed.
However, there is no way that there would be a priest in Garam, where feelings toward the church are at their worst.
“…Just ask.”
At that time, the beast king raised himself up from behind and asked me.
“Did the blood messenger use witchcraft?”
“That’s right.”
Strictly speaking, the power of the great devil is different from ordinary witchcraft.
what do you mean
It is an ominous force and is no different from witchcraft in that it distorts the order of things.
Ariok said then.
“O king, what an ugly outburst! Was life so precious? To the point where they won’t even admit defeat in a great confrontation!”
“….”
“It’s funny that the apex of a great garam who believes in martial arts looks like this. How funny!”
Ariok was confident.
no, you will have to be proud
It must be so that I don’t see my dirty side.
but.
“Then ask. Blood Lion.”
Can you really keep that attitude?
“Which weighs more heavily: martial arts or grudge?”
“…what?”
“The grudge that Garam has not let go of for a long time and the great value that Garam has kept so far. Which of the two deserves more respect?”
At that, the boy frowned.
“What sophistry….”
“No, it is not sophistry. The question I am asking now is the basis of this ‘duel’.”
thud!
He struck the ground with his staff to draw attention to the surroundings.
Ironically, the hostility of the beastmen towards me actually helped me.
Everyone’s eyes were focused on me.
“I admit it. Kyoguk made a mistake and should apologize to the beasts who were sacrificed. But that’s not what’s important in this duel right now.”
“It’s absurd for a hero to talk about a duel.”
“I would have said. Garam’s resentment is certainly important, but at least it’s not something to deal with in this situation.”
I glared at him.
“I’ll ask you, Blood Lion. Is the way of your martial arts still right?”
“It is fair.”
“What is the standard of fairness? What is the range of martial arts that you tolerate?”
“under.”
Kwadeuk.
At my question, Ariok’s fist slowly gained strength.
A reaction that seems to be unpleasant.
But i know
Now, that bastard’s reaction wasn’t that he was offended by my words.
weird feeling.
Before the Great Demon, he put a lot of effort into the value of martial arts.
Great evil, but at the same time a warrior.
It is ‘Ariok’ that has that strange identity.
That’s why I asked.
Is your martial arts that insignificant?
Will you admit that insignificance?
There is no way that those who watched this confrontation did not know.
Garam’s grudge is clear.
However, Wu is the soul.
Their souls that they have kept until they isolated themselves.
“I won. Now I have the right to decide the king’s life and death… ….”
“The king’s fist should have pierced your heart, blood lion.”
I looked at him and said straight up.
“You twisted. Not with martial arts, but with the special authority you were born with.”
“No, no.”
“Then, the situation just now was just that His Highness the Beast King’s blow missed, and that I was slandering something that wasn’t even funny?”
“Yes.”
The guy answered sternly.
Not as a warrior.
He now speaks lies to fulfill his mission as the Prime Evil.
Of course he won’t tell the truth.
It is the ‘truth’ that he avoided the Beast King’s blow by using his authority because he was afraid of disappearing at the last moment.
Ironically, in the end, that was a reaction he made because he hadn’t completely abandoned his identity as a martial artist.
“Right. then.”
I laughed.
It was a plausible dagger with no intent to kill.
“Can’t you stop this?”
“…what?”
That was the moment.
Labyrinth was activated without the slightest warning.
The magic that was ‘scheduled’ in advance was activated through the memorization contained in the saint’s robe.
I have no feelings here.
It’s just that the stored magic becomes time and ‘naturally’ activates.
thus….
“no way…!”
Ariok couldn’t notice.
right after.
Lian, who was summoned by Labyrinth, stabbed his sword into his heart.
Hoo-wook.
His eyes widened and his fists trembled faintly.
To my eyes, it all seemed slow.
Lian’s sword aimed precisely at Ariok’s heart with a sharp aura.
So what are you going to do
you can avoid
In this situation, will you stick to your quest or… ….
“Are you going to trample it?”
I waited for his choice.
And the next guy’s choice.
“Heh heh….”
“What is this….”
It was the latter.
Lian’s sword pierced the air. The attack, which should have been pierced, was twisted unnaturally.
Not once, not twice.
Even intuitive.
There was a ‘surprise raid’ and it was blocked with ‘something’, not martial arts.
There is no way that an unmanned person would not know what that means.
“…That taboo.”
Someone said in a trembling voice.
“The Blood Lion has violated a taboo!”
okay.
this is what i wanted to hear
* * *
“You dare…!!”
Right after that, Ariok, who was extremely angry, struck Lian.
But rather than that, the shield I had prepared was activated faster.
Clink!
Rian, who avoided herself in time, clearly increased the distance from Ariok.
Ariok roars.
“You brave man!!”
“I should have just stood still. It wouldn’t have been pierced anyway.”
I laughed at him and listened to the staff.
Yeah, it really wouldn’t have broken my heart.
Because your body is filthy hard.
“But did you write it again after all?”
The warriors of Garam were making faces of confusion. But it doesn’t look as suspicious as before.
They have now concluded
The blood lion broke a taboo.
If so, would the warriors think that he had broken the taboo just this time?
no it can’t be
Everything he has done so far will turn into a taboo and outrageous act.
The cost of betraying trust is high.
That is, it is not a fair fight.
“Cowardly murderer!”
It would be nothing more and nothing less than a one-sided massacre that merely killed people with witchcraft.
Karma is the way to come back eventually.
The blood and despair of so many warriors he sacrificed so far to challenge the king now strangles him.
“How dare you in a sacred duel!”
“You are not an unmanned blood lion!”
Numerous cries poured out towards Ariok.
The admiration and reverence that had been focused on him until now quickly turned into hatred and anger.
I believe Ariok.
You’ve never used your powers before.
Maybe it’s just that I didn’t think I needed to use it.
In any case, as your adversary, I believe in your innocence prior to this duel.
But what do you mean?
“In the end, it doesn’t change that you are a coward who trampled on martial arts.”
Saying so, he stretched out his staff.
“this person….”
Ariok’s eyes start shaking like crazy. A massive demonic energy rose around him.
cooong!
In response to demonic energy, the ground cracked and dark clouds rose in the sky.
unusual momentum.
In the end, the guy who admitted to being on the defensive is trying to show himself.
“set.”
[Yes, leave it to me.]
At a critical moment, a strong storm pushed away the dark clouds.
And at the same time, the holy wind came out exactly and surrounded the Beast King and Ariok.
It will be a bar for evil.
It is a wall for us.
【Warrior…!]
The entire body was covered in pitch black darkness, with only sharp teeth exposed.
【You dare insult me!】
A body of steel.
In his eyes, only the ghastly glare of his eyes gleamed.
He was like a monster born only to crush and destroy.
His body had grown a little, and his jet-black mane flowed from his shoulders.
Ariok, the lord of martial arts.
“…You are a monster.”
The beast king saw it and drooled. To that extent, Ariok’s momentum was overwhelming.
If Paedo took shape, would it look like that?
I put it in front of me and asked the beast king.
“How are you, Your Highness?”
“What are you saying all of a sudden?”
“Didn’t the one blow I prepared so far work as an incantation that wasn’t quite the same? I mean, aren’t you angry?”
At my words, the beast king smiled.
“…That’s a bit annoying.”
“How about now?”
thud!
The guy took a step.
You won’t get out of the storm. There’s nothing a guy can’t do if he’s forced to rip it off, but… ….
He’s looking at me now.
He never goes out of here until he kills me.
“He is looking at me.”
“Right.”
“The opponent of the duel was clearly reported. How are you as a soldier?”
“You are angry.”
The beast king somehow got up.
He is no different than a full-blown man.
Unlike Ariok, who evaded the attack with his power earlier, the Beast King took all the blows.
“…I am really angry.”
but still stand up
“Are you all right?”
“Of course it’s not okay. I wonder if I would fall down right away if I let go of the tension just a little bit.”
he took a step
“I have to do it anyway. Because you are the king.”
A look of exhaustion was evident on his face, but his two fists still held a clear will.
I took a step back.
he is the king of this land
A king must, of course, punish those who trespass on the land.
[Go away, descendant of the giraffe.]
Ariok, who showed his true colors, looked at the Beast King with ridiculed eyes and said.
【Your purpose has been fulfilled. It doesn’t matter now. After killing the hero, it will be your turn… ….】
“You’re funny.”
The Beast King raised the corners of his mouth as if Ariok’s threat was not the same.
“Garam welcomes warriors, but does not welcome demons.”
【….]
“You are not an unmanned demon.”
At those words, Ariok’s eyes shook faintly.
“Besides, in the end, you couldn’t fully take my blow and ran away.”
【Shut up.】
He hit the ground as if threatening.
However, the Beast King just took a stance like he did before.
Ariok moved.
If there is anything different from the previous confrontation, it is that his eyes are not looking at the opponent in front of him.
the guy’s eyes.
[Heroaaaa!!]
It was fixed on me.
With his fists clenched, he rushed right in front of me with the swiftness he boasted so much.
It seems that the beast king doesn’t even care.
He crossed over the Beast King and stretched out his fist at me.
haha that’s funny
“Thank you Ariok.”
If I hadn’t crossed the line, maybe I wouldn’t have been able to annihilate you in this ‘garam’.
Maybe the plan I made was a little messed up.
so i’m really glad
“Because you also have just as much baseness as I expected.”
He lifts his staff and begins to chant the prepared divine magic.
8th Circle Highest Divine Spell.
storm abundance.
And finally.
“< Destroy >.”
Finally, the power of the demon god rose from my hand.
