The great mage who transcends by returning, episode 240
The Power of Extinction.
Of course, no matter how much I reached the 8th circle, handling the power of the gods is another matter.
Still, the ‘power of annihilation’ is a power that is difficult to handle.
I have to reach the 9th circle so that I can expect some proper change.
So, I decided to change direction.
If you can’t immediately raise the ability of the authority itself, it’s right to study how to use it somehow ‘efficiently’.
【I can’t stand it… …!]
Ariok’s face contorted horribly when he saw the black power swirling at my fingertips.
But he’s already moved.
A shortcoming of speed, which would normally never be highlighted, appeared.
It cannot suddenly change its ‘direction’ at the moment it moved.
All of a sudden, the guy volunteered to jump into extinction.
Huung.
The light of extinction lightly touched his left arm.
No, to be precise, it would be correct to say that it touched the ‘minor crack’ inside the left arm.
Yes, a body part that has been unstablely restored after being broken once.
It is possible to pass through that gap and annihilate the source of his recovery.
All of this was possible because the Beast King had definitely ruptured the bastard’s left arm.
Kwajik!
In short, it is said that maximum efficiency can be achieved with minimum investment.
【It’s dark… …?!]
And as soon as the light of extinction hits, his left arm is crumbled without a trace.
It’s not just crumbled.
Truly eternal extinction with no possibility of recovery.
And with that blow, his ‘confidence’ was completely shattered.
no it’s not broken
The boy shuddered and screamed indescribably.
【Yes you… …How does His power… …! Boo is impossible!]
“Well, that’s right.”
It doesn’t matter if you say that it’s impossible or something… ….
“I don’t think it was me from the beginning that you should see.”
[Kuh?!]
As if he wasn’t an idiot, he immediately came to his senses.
Then, I desperately searched for the location of the Beast King.
but.
[Ah.]
The result was already decided at the moment when he was agitated and his body collapsed due to my extinction.
The moment I confirmed the person who appeared in front of me along with the blowing wind.
【Damn it.】
He closed his eyes as if resigned.
“Not seeing the other person.”
Hoo-wook.
Before I knew it, the beast king was standing in front of me.
In a lowered position, pull your right arm back with all your might.
A look I had seen a long time ago.
The sturdy back that protected us from numerous enemies using its own body as a shield… ….
“It is an unmanned disqualification.”
with those words.
One blow pierced the demon.
Kwajik!
This time, the Beast King’s fist definitely broke his heart.
A heart that was beating very tenaciously until the end before returning.
Now that heart is crushed.
still clear
– I wanted to settle properly.
The words the Beast King told me with a bitter smile before the final battle.
– I couldn’t do that.
Slowly.
– Even so, I hoped.
Ariok was seen collapsing.
The staggering body didn’t contain the slightest bit of strength.
Finally.
thud!
Ariok’s massive body knelt down.
This is the sight that the Beast King wanted to see more than anyone else before returning.
‘I was always captivated.’
The Beast King had never expressed himself in front of us.
He acted as if he had no worries.
He always laughed heartily, and even when the atmosphere collapsed, he showed a steadfastly bright appearance.
so we didn’t know
…no i don’t know
I just pretended not to know.
The beast king, like the others, is still stuck in the ‘past’ or constantly regretting the events of the day.
– What do you think of Wu?
He used to ask us questions like that, out of habit.
Wu is the last remaining belief for him who has lost everything, and at the same time maybe… …It may have been an lingering lingering feeling until the very end.
When I thought so, I had those words in my mouth without even realizing it.
“How are you feeling?”
“…hmm?”
I asked him again as he looked at me with a puzzled expression.
“Did you defeat the blood lion? That feeling.”
“Hmm.”
At my words, the beast king tilted his head.
Know. It’s a stupid question.
Although Ariok is clearly a threatening opponent, he is not the ‘Beast King’ I remember.
To him, Ariok is nothing more than a slightly difficult challenger.
For him now, this confrontation doesn’t give much inspiration.
but nonetheless.
That’s what the memory stuck in this goddamn head tells me to do.
My memory still exists.
Only I remember everyone.
“I feel….”
He muttered that and turned his gaze towards Ariok.
“Kuh ha ha….”
The guy was breathing hard.
Still, since he’s the great devil, he’ll be able to endure it to some extent… ….
Ultimately, that’s the limit.
His fate has already been decided. His body scattered like a mirage, and he raised his head while coughing up black blood.
“It’s okay to brag. King.”
It stared at the Beast King with dangerously flickering red eyes as if it would go out at any moment.
“You won. As a human… …Excluding the hero, the feat of defeating the great devil… …achieved.”
“….”
“Your name will now spread all over the world. me me… …As a victorious human race.”
“Be proud. Right.”
The beast king tilted his head.
“I don’t know why, but I’m feeling pretty fulfilled right now.”
“….”
“But it’s not because you’re the ultimate devil or something.”
He continued with a look that he couldn’t even understand.
“I am beyond the past now.”
“…wall.”
“Yes, I have reached this moment beyond the past. It would be difficult to explain exactly what the ‘past’ was, but… ….”
He looked at the fist that pierced Ariok’s heart and said.
“Anyway, I got up and moved on.”
The beast king’s eyes looked somewhat relieved when he said that.
he won’t know
Because the ‘Beast King’ I remember and the ‘Beast King’ now are the same yet different.
but.
‘Go ahead.’
Maybe.
Even if they cannot be exactly the same, he advances.
Even if the memory does not continue, the will of martial arts that he persistently talked about will continue.
Thinking that way, for some reason, I felt a little more at ease.
There may be something going on.
Then maybe me and everyone on that day… …It may still not be disconnected.
“Heh ha ha ha…Right. went ahead Did you step on me?”
Ariok growled.
“Well, keep the martial arts…From the time I dealt with it in a different way… …The outcome will be decided.”
After saying that, he turned his gaze towards me.
“…In a way, he might have condemned me for abandoning my convictions through ‘Hero’.”
“Drinking doesn’t matter.”
“Ha ha warrior…adversary. How can you not know God?”
Ariok giggled.
“Maybe I’m pretending not to know. I try to close my eyes… …turn.”
“….”
I listened to him calmly.
A normal Great Devil wouldn’t be able to afford to exchange conversations like this out of fear of an explosion, but it’s different now.
The moment the Beast King pierced his heart, the source of the explosion was surely extinguished.
It’s an extremely tough job.
Originally, it was the source and Nabal, and in order to extinguish it, it would have required mana that even I couldn’t afford right now… ….
‘Just in time for the Beast King to see the gap in the process of piercing the heart.’
It was fortunate for me. I could have avoided the most annoying thing.
“…It’s over.”
Crisp.
The man’s fingertips were shattered.
Now that the threat of an explosion had passed, he was dying slowly and silently.
“It was lacking, but it’s okay.”
He looks at me with those words.
“I saw something interesting….”
and after a while
Seruk.
The disaster that destroyed Garam before returning and plagued us steadily.
Archdemon Ariok has disappeared.
* * *
After a while, the fierce storm that surrounded the area died down and the interior was revealed.
In order to see the results, the warriors focused their attention on the place where the beast king would be.
and after a while
“Oh oh!”
Cheers erupted the moment I saw the king, who appeared intact and with one hand raised.
“Waaaaaa!”
“Great King!”
“Long live the glory of Garam!”
The king’s presence still exists.
All of Garam’s warriors gathered here realized this.
The king is still at their pinnacle and is strong enough not to be broken by the intervention of demons.
“…ah.”
And Yeon Mi-ryeo stood among them. She looked at the spot where the blood lion had disappeared.
there was nothing.
The monster that plagued the family no longer existed.
“haha….”
I couldn’t finish it with my own hands.
Know. That his level was too weak to deal with the monster called the Blood Lion.
That’s why I wanted to keep my head upright and look at the last of him.
That was right.
‘Cause I could be proud
But if you don’t feel helpless, that’s a lie.
back.
Power in both hands.
She acknowledges the helplessness of this moment, but knows that it must not be swallowed up.
I am carrying a lot now.
The grudge is over.
Now is the time to start anew.
Yeon family.
Now she is the owner
Even at a young age, she had an obligation to carry on that splendid honor through her bloodline.
And for that.
‘I need experience.’
he is still immature
She saw the Beast King standing firm in the face of everyone’s cheers, unmoved in the slightest.
She saw the warrior who changed everything beside her and saved her.
Even if it’s just a longing right now, I don’t know if I can reach it someday.
“Whoa.”
Thinking that, my shoulders, which were shaking with vague fear, calmed down.
I took a bold step.
It was the moment when the lotus flowers that had faded in the past bloomed.
* * *
A few days later.
I’ve finally destroyed one more great demon. I’ve been rolling around for the first time in a while.
Of course, there was still a mountain of work piled up, but I wasn’t just rolling around for no reason… ….
“Kieack!”
Ryan flew through the sky.
“Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!”
Eileen also flew in the sky.
“It’s not enough, it’s not enough!”
And among them, the Beast King roared with his eyes shining.
…what’s up
This is it. Why do you roll around.
I rarely get a chance to receive private lessons from the Beast King. When the opportunity comes, you should pick it up properly.
“Haha, that’s cool.”
I looked at the sight in front of me with satisfaction, with Ariandel sitting next to me quietly.
“Iknow, right.”
“It is the pleasure of my life to see them screaming like a new species of bird.”
Each person has their own hobbies.
It’s just a hobby for me to see something a little bit extreme. How do you get stronger by blabbering like that?
“Well, what about Mikhail?”
“You say yes.”
“Hey, butler, why are you doing that in the corner?”
At those words, I was in the midst of being crushed by the Beast King.
“Suck!”
“….”
I saw the butler in a bizarre pose.
The butler’s muscles were getting stronger with each passing day.
What should I say?
From an aesthetic point of view, I have to say that we are taking a step forward….
No, more than that, I don’t know why I understand this.
“It is a stimulus.”
“…hmm.”
“It’s hard to understand, but people over there have their own hobbies. You don’t have to think too hard.”
It’s a world I’ll never understand.
…um you must not understand
After a while, I approached the beast king who was resting after a bout of sparring.
“majesty.”
“Oh warrior!”
The beast king is fully recovered.
In addition, in the process of dealing with Ariok, he must have realized something, and the momentum became stronger than before.
“So what?”
“It’s nothing special.”
I quietly took something out of my arms.
The treasure that I received in return from Milium.
The king’s medicine.
“…hmm?”
The beast king’s eyes widened.
“Isn’t this my shortcoming!”
“I got it from someone I know, but I wonder if it is yours.”
“Mine is right. There’s no way I wouldn’t notice my energy. That’s just… ….”
He frowned.
“…How is it incomplete?”
soon said so.
