182. Irregular (3)
Before I knew it, the fortress city that looked like a fortress was half destroyed.
「The labyrinth achievement ‘Epic’ has been achieved.」
「The labyrinth score +10 is obtained.」
Dense graphite is scattered all over the city as if black paint is dissolved in water.. ..
“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah…! Can’t play again…! Damn me! Why did the ability to regenerate suddenly disappear!?”
“Kuh! There is an ability to block regeneration out there! retreat! Bring reinforcements to win!”
“What is it… that crazy monster… there’s no way he can beat something like that…”
The demons, like vampires or werewolves, howled in pain and began to retreat.
Seeing that gruesome sight, I licked my lips.
‘It’s a bit unfortunate.’
It wouldn’t have turned out like this if there had been a magical quality of the lightning attribute that had been awakened in the tower before.
Perhaps the dark red thunder destroyed the city a little more.
However, in the present situation, where there is a need to conserve magic power to some extent, this is the best.
There is a limit to increasing the output range with Sword Flame, and the Pacheon skill was originally intended to increase the destructive ability rather than the output range… I
couldn’t get better results than this.
‘Unfortunately, I have no choice but to quickly go to the Dark Lord.’
Even with the Guardian skill he used to protect his teammates, his mana is already being cut into chunks.
It’s only thanks to the conversion of the demonic energy used by the enemies into magical power that I can be fine like this.
But even this doesn’t last long.
「Absorbed the command of the vampire ‘Rignar’.」
「Skill increased by 1.7%.」
「Absorbed the command of the werewolf ‘Mirne’…」
「Skill increased by 1.1%… 」
「Absorbs the spirits of the ‘Lignar’, a low-wing group…」
「Skill proficiency increases by 1.4%…」
So…
「Use multiple spirits to replenish magic.」
First of all, a dead enemy. It was an intention to absorb their spirits and endure this mad consumption of mana.
‘Even if the spirit is consumed, the magic must remain intact.’
Otherwise, you won’t be able to deal with a strong enemy like the dark lord.
Hung-!
I immediately kicked off the ground and moved to the fort in the center of the fortified city by applying the technique of walking in the air.
It didn’t take long.
There is no one to stop me until reinforcements are called by the demons.
good.
Landing on the roof of the fort, I found an entrance to the inside of the
fort
.
Well, there was no way anyway, so it didn’t matter because I could smash the ceiling and go down.
however.
“uh?”
Whoops…!
「All damage inflicted on the fort is reduced by 68% by the special power ‘Dark Barrier’.」
As expected, the ceiling of the fort could not be easily broken.
“Damage mitigation…”
It is an incredibly good power.
‘He bothered me.’
I was going to go the other way because I thought going through the main gate would definitely be annoying… As
if I knew this would happen, the fort was equipped with ridiculous defenses to mitigate damage.
Most likely, they will not be able to break through this defense and will be reinforced.
But…
「The skill ‘Pacheon破天’ is activated.]
I had the ability to break through this crazy authority.
Well, since it’s ignoring powers like damage reduction, the amount of mana consumed by Destruction is enormous, but…
Aaaaaaaaaaa!
In return, they did not have to go through any more difficulties to open the way into the inside of the citadel.
‘You did a good job restoring Pacheon.’
Satisfied with him, I fell to the hollowed-out ceiling of the fortress…
“Who are you…?”
Then, in a seat like a throne, I was able to face a demon with wolf ears that gave me a decadent feeling.
“You can rest assured.”
I said with a smile to the dark lord, who seemed to have no idea what the situation was.
“It’s just a good challenger passing by.”
It’s just a good robber passing by, so don’t worry.
***
「Labyrinth achievement ‘Uninvited Guest (Epic)’ has been achieved.」 「
Labyrinth
score +10 points obtained.」
The dark lord looked at me with a bewildered face and then said something dumbfounded.
“Crazy guy…”
I’ve heard it so often lately that I wasn’t very impressed.
“I knew that challengers had come to the city for the first time in decades, but this is more serious than I thought.”
Suddenly, the dark lord’s face was full of anger.
“I’m sure you said you’d let me go downstairs if you just handed over the price?”
It was as if we could coexist with each other, but the tone was that I ruined this relationship with my greed.
‘Yes, I certainly did say that.’
But this was something I could refute as well.
“I don’t know what to believe and give the demon a price.”
“…”
“After extorting all the main weapons, you can attack us without accepting the deal.”
“…even if I offered an item, I didn’t expect much, and I was willing to accept even a small item.”
“really?”
“okay! Just one item! But where is the guy who attacks the citadel with it like this!”
“Hmm…”
“Even the challengers from decades ago didn’t show such tyranny! Do you even think of proud demons as vulgar monsters…!”
I cut off the dark lord’s words before they continued and I let out a sneer.
“A proud demon?”
Even if he misunderstood something, it was as if he was firmly mistaken.
“No way.”
That would be the case too…
“There’s no such thing as a demon tribe, right?”
The dark lord did not know that among the demons there were no proud people and no good people.
However, the Dark Lord could not accept the reality even if he kindly informed him about the demons.
“I’ve met many challengers so far, but I’m new to a crazy guy like you.”
“Is that so.”
“So Jim will do everything in his power to prevent someone like you from installing more.”
“I will fight with all my might…”
I smiled at those words.
“It’s nice to hear that.”
That should be the case…
「Mythic < Reversal Hero > is activated.」
「All stats increase by +17.」
「Special buff < Purifying Light > is activated.」
「Damage dealt to evil beings by 100 % will rise.”
If that person comes with all their strength, I can become stronger too.
***
Immediately after activating the < Reversal Hero >, demonic energy suddenly began to flow over the Dark Lord.
Coo-goo-goo-!
Let the dark lord’s demons, which have been well taken care of, fill the hall in an instant
.
For some reason, black spheres appeared around the dark lord, who was filled with determination.
‘What is that?’
The black orb that hovered around him was more threatening than the demonic energy felt by the dark lord.
Seeing that it wasn’t made of magic, it seems to be a special power…
‘I guess I need to be careful.’
First of all, rather than launching a preemptive strike from this side, it seemed that we should know how strong the opponent was.
Only then will we know how dangerous that black orb can be.
However, the other party did not use their hands directly, as if they had noticed such an intention.
Whoa!
The black orbs that had been swirling around the dark lord were quickly fired like bullets.
In response, I immediately swung the Blood Heaven Demon Sword with sword energy wrapped around it, and soon the black sphere was ridiculously easily cut off.
Awesome!
And that became a problem.
Hwaaak!
「The skill ‘Focus on Strike’ was temporarily sealed by the authority ‘Magic Jade’.」 As soon as the
black sphere was cut, it exploded like a smoke bomb, and one skill was sealed.
Of course, it wasn’t a very important skill, so the loss wasn’t huge, but…
‘I never thought it would have the ability to seal it.’
After learning that if you touch that black orb, you lose your power, a silent sound came out.
It was worth it.
Currently, the number of black spheres near the dark lord is double-digit even if you estimate it… If you
hit all the black spheres, in theory, at least 10 of your abilities will disappear.
It would be the worst of the worst if the guardian’s skill to protect his comrades even disappeared.
‘Is a head-to-head match itself unreasonable in the first place…’
It’s really not an easy strong enemy.
However, as the saying goes, even if the sky collapses, there is a hole that will rise….
Soon I was able to think of a solution to this hopeless situation without difficulty.
“If I’m going to fight like this, I’ll have to be petty too.”
He immediately smiled at the dark lord and turned around and started running away.
bang!
Perhaps they didn’t know that an intruder would come in the first place, and the door to the palace was easily opened with a kick.
Without a moment’s hesitation, I quickly ran to the escape route, even operating the renewal method.
“What…! Where are you going, leaving your luggage behind? Come back, foolish challenger…!”
Unfortunately, the dark lord didn’t have anything to call a mobile machine, so he couldn’t stop the escape.
Well, in the first place, there is a crazy power like a magical stone, but if there is an escape or escape prevention plan, that would be a scam.
‘If this happens, I’ll be able to execute the plan faster than I thought.’
After running to the outside of the fortress, demons in formation appeared.
I think they were the ones who said they were bringing in reinforcements before…
“Chi intruders! Everyone ready for battle! Today we fight for freedom and peace!”
“Don’t be afraid! There is only one enemy! That’s a challenger with sealed power! Drive with numerical superiority!”
“Shouldn’t we pay the price for the sins of countless demons right here! Cheer up everyone!”
I realized all over again how lucky I was.
Demon tribes who were planning to go find them appear right away like this…
‘What kind of rolled rice cake is this?’
At this point, I wonder if the goddess of luck is smiling at me.
「Boss Skill skill ‘Grace of Wind’ is activated.」
「All speeds increase by 80%.」
「Current skill stacking progress – [8]」
Wow—!
Accelerating his body with the power skill, he rushed at the demons, and soon after the twin swords were swung, the demons died helplessly.
Chow!
Of course, there were minor resistances, but nothing to worry about.
All the powers that used magic were absorbed by Manmajiwang, and other skills were not even a threat.
「Absorbed the spirit of the vampire ‘Ione’.」
「Skill increased by 0.9%」
「Absorbed the spirit of the werewolf ‘Dycro’…」
「Skill increased by 0.7%… 」
「Absorbed the spirits of the ‘Renerna’, a low-wing group…」
「Proficiency increased by 0.8%…」
As soon as I finished the battle, I immediately absorbed the spirits scattered around me.
[The authority ‘Heolcheon Deep Gong’ is strongly activated.]
Next, he absorbed a large amount of blood and replenished his physical strength and mana.
No…
coo-goo-!
The red steam overflowing his body had already surpassed the point of replenishing his mana.
“Huh…”
It was the moment when his breathing became rough due to the rush of power that seemed to break his reason if he stopped concentrating even for a moment.
“This cowardly bastard…! don’t run away! It means to fight fair and square…!!”
The Dark Lord’s cry was heard in his ears, and at the same time his figure was revealed.
Well, it seems like they followed me all the way to this place with just one run…
“What the hell is this…!?”
At the very least, it was too late.
Because the demons who will protect him have already become food for my strength.
“Let’s fight instead of running away?”
Looking at the dark lord engulfed in confusion, I curved the corners of my mouth like a crescent moon.
“That is what I am going to say.”
And…
coo-gu-gu-gu-!
The moment when he generously discharged the aura of blood and deep air flowing through his body.
“This nonsense…”
The Dark Lord’s face turned pale and he began to back away.
I spoke to him in a voice full of laughter.
“Don’t run away, Dark Lord. Don’t be so frightened and face me.”
Now…
“You mean that’s fair, right?”
The position has been completely reversed.
