Episode 267
EPISODE.134
It’s an awkwardly funny look, but it’s a determined look. Daria, who had been quietly looking into Russell’s eyes, murmured with a sigh as if the ground would collapse.
“Hey. Promise me one thing.”
“…?”
“I’m sure you’ll come back alive.”
Daria Snowwhite.
She was the owner of the Tower of Flames and a great wizard who was proud of being the strongest on the continent.
If she was to say this, it must mean that the new emperor of the empire beyond the deflagration is a ridiculous monster.
At Daria’s words, Russell nodded.
“yes.”
I added one more word after that.
“I will return alive with Master.”
“…!!”
Daria’s eyes shake wildly once, as if this was an unexpected remark.
Then she said with a small laugh.
“He speaks slickly.”
These were the words of a disciple who seemed still young. But why? The disciple’s words are so comforting and reassuring.
It was then.
The salt waves that flowed towards Russell from high in the sky.
[I don’t intend to break the warm atmosphere, but don’t let go. Half-funny.]
‘Gillian Rezesty?’
Russell raised his head in surprise at the sudden thought wave.
He was the one who had been silent all along.
I never thought someone like that would send a warning right now. Should I call this a coincidence?
[The white-haired old man’s attacks are obviously strong, but that monster doesn’t die from that kind of attack.]
Russell, who seemed to know the empire’s new emperor well, tilted his head and sent out a thought wave in reverse.
‘If the enemy is that strong, why don’t you come down and help me?’
Although it is corrupted, the opponent is a dragon.
It is also a dragon that has been through the longest period of time, almost comparable to the old dragon.
It was clear that such Jillian would be of considerable strength if he helped.
[Unfortunately, I can’t.]
Resolute refusal
A ferocious voice continued as if a beast was growling.
[If half of the dominance flowing through my body belonged to you…]
It was a voice full of complex emotions, but underneath it was deep hatred and resentment.
It seemed that he could have predicted it without listening to the back story, but Russell calmly waited for the next words.
[…the other half belongs to him.]
‘That means…’
Russell’s face went pale.
If his guess is not wrong, it was a cult believed to have existed around the time of the gods that corrupted Gillian.
It is also a cult who has risen to the level of a transcendentalist.
‘Are you saying that the one wearing the emperor’s skin is a transcendent?’
[To be precise, it should be said that he was a transcendental person.]
‘A transcendental person?’
[The one who experienced death once and was resurrected in the present world with the help of his followers has not yet reached the level of a transcendent. But even so, the power he possesses must be at a level far beyond that of the wizards of this era.]
Jillian explained that it was the difference in ‘level’ between those who once reached the level of a transcendent and those who did not.
‘why?’
[Hmm?]
‘According to what you said, how is it that someone who has such great power hasn’t recovered his former power yet? Because of the lack of offerings?’
[Hundreds of thousands of blood and flesh can descend not only high-ranking demons, but also low-level demon kings. The lack of offerings is nonsense.]
‘Then?’
[This is because the passage through which cultists can reach transcendence has been completely blocked.]
‘A passage through which transcendence can be reached?’
[The cult, as the name implies, means an existence that worships demons and borrows power from them.]
Jillian, who paused for a while, calmed down and continued, perhaps because the explanation was getting long.
[For them, transcendental people are those chosen by the demon king beyond the demon tribe.]
The demon king.
As a word meaning the ruler at the apex of the demonic realm, which is the law of the jungle, in stories such as novels, it often referred to beings subjugated at the hands of warriors.
However, it is only a fictional content that could have come out because it was written by someone who does not know the devil properly.
That would also be the case, because the demon king was the same as the god who ruled the demon realm.
No, compared to the material world where countless gods and gods existed, the number of demon kings who ruled the demon world was only about ten.
In that respect, the power of the demon king was much stronger than that of the gods.
A single Demon King can handle the ten gods of the Age of Mythology.
[But now that the connection with the Demon World is completely severed and the passage has collapsed, it is impossible to receive that power through the Demon King.]
‘Severance with the Demon World…?’
It has been thousands of years since demons and demon kings have not appeared in the material world.
For thousands of years, there have been people who claim to be demon kings and all, but true demons and demons have never appeared since the age of myth.
I don’t think the reason was because of the break with the demon world.
[That’s why, in order to regain the power he lost, he made a contract with an entity other than the demon realm.]
‘Any other entity?’
[okay. Existing outside the material world… the other that preys on the world─.]
Then.
Your tongue is too long. Jillian.
[Oops!]
Jillian vomits in agony at the sensation of gripping her heart.
Violet eyes soared through the high smoke explosions.
Anger-.
An eye-glow that was even ghastly.
I wondered where it was wandering around so much that I never thought it would find a new owner.
The cold light in his eyes turned toward Russell at once.
I’ve heard of black hair, but I can’t believe that the lineage of the Dragon Emperor and the savior of the other world has continued to this day.
If I had known in advance, I would have been better off taking your body than plotting a complicated affair for decades.
well it’s good After all the preparations are over, today’s work will be nothing more than entertainment before I am born again as a perfect being
.
Let’s have some fun, you kids who haven’t even taken off the womb of a mortal.
A story that most of those who are in a position where they are talking about solvents will not understand.
But there was no time to think deeply about it.
The moment after that, the space behind the emperor’s back split open.
The darkness surrounding the rim begins to wriggle like dozens of snakes.
The cracked space creates a glistening white, and green pupils appear on top of it, as if putting a dot on it.
Like Hellfire, an ancient magic called Lost Magic by cultists.
Eye of Gorgon.
Damn!
There was even an illusion that time and space were completely frozen by the magic, whose name was not even conveyed properly.
The Gorgon’s Eye’s ability is to dull and stop the senses.
Its power was strong enough to keep the superhuman powers at bay even for a moment.
“Ugh!”
“Kuk!”
The moment moans erupted from everywhere, the emperor smirked and flicked his fingertips.
…aaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
……Gyaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Then, in an instant, the spiritual body that completed the form begins to pour in all directions like bullets.
A storm-like attack created using the spiritual body!
Likewise, it was a storm of grudge, one of the high-ranking black magic.
If you get hit directly, not only will your soul suffer, but all kinds of curses will come over you.
At that moment, I’m going to go to the middle of the day!
Butterflies of flame that jumped out from everywhere collided with the storm and intercepted the soul.
The butterflies of Muspelheim who set the dimensional coordinates and summoned them through their magic!
It was Daria’s originality magic, the fire flower.
Beep!
The moment when the soul that collided with the firecracker explodes and disappears on the spot, and the remaining souls run toward the party.
Roaring!
The flames, which were hotter than the flames, formed a curtain of flame.
Blocking the souls, he killed and ate them.
“her!”
Heat distorting the entire space.
Not only Daria was amazed at the flames that seemed to reproduce hell, but even the emperor opened his mouth in a voice of admiration.
[…Whoa. Hell Fire. I heard that magic has disappeared in this era. Did you restore it?]
After muttering once, he carefully raised the corners of his mouth as if he was interested.
[The flames brought from Muspelheim to the restored Hell Fire. Pretty good for a mage of this era. It will be a very memorable entertainment.]
“I don’t know who you are, but if it’s okay, will you remember this one too?”
[…?]
Hemingway, who had occupied the Emperor’s rear flank before he knew it, let out the mana he had been gripping.
Quaaaaaa!
The sharks created by the magic of the rising tidal waves rushed along with him as if riding a wave and attacked the side of the emperor.
Water-attribute magic on an unbelievable scale, considering that it was spread in a place where there was no water.
Originally, it was great magic, but Hemingway changed the frame.
The formula itself was rewritten so that a huge and elongated tsunami was rolled up like paper and hit only one point!
Kwagwagwa!
The torrent of the tsunami that poured down in several layers of circles created a huge column of water and ascended toward the sky.
At that moment, a scene as if the sea dragon current was reproduced on the surface was created!
Anger-!
A new shadow formed along the sky.
“Here too. Kyahahahaha!”
no it’s not a bird It was Muyaho, who grabbed the spiral spear with both hands.
She jumped high into the sky in an instant and began to fall vertically toward the ground!
Kwagwagwagwa!
Muyaho’s gaze, falling along the center of the whirlwind, turned into a meteor.
If it hits the ground directly, that alone will generate a shockwave that will rip the entire area in half.
That moment.
[Extremely insignificant and useless.]
“…?!”
“…!!”
Amidst the swirling torrents of water, the emperor’s voice was heard.
bang!
Darkness expands in all directions, tearing apart the water prison that has imprisoned him.
Then, the darkness itself spread out into a single dimension and vomited out the things it contained.
Boo Woo-.
Doo doo doo doo-.
Insects, crustaceans, cephalopods, etc.
Monsters of a form never seen before fly up and emit strange noises.
Then, they rushed towards Muyaho, which was falling from the sky, in an instant.
The power of each one is nothing compared to Muyaho, but the number of monsters poured out is over thousands!
No matter how hard you try, you won’t be able to get rid of them all!
That moment.
“damage!”
“be careful!”
Amelia Merwin’s wind magic and the wind spirit summoned by Io wrapped around Muyaho at the same time.
The force of the strong wind twisted the trajectory of the Muyaho, which had been falling, and flapped its wings to fly it to a safe place.
Kwagwagwa!
It doesn’t stop there, but the rising ground blocks the army of small monsters in the shape of a dome.
The aid of Niccolo, the owner of the golden tower!
Kwang Kwa Jeok Kwa Jeo Jeok!
However, the army of monsters did not stop their advance. Thousands of bullets tore the thick rock wall like a sheet of paper, and then started chasing Muyaho, which was blown away by the wind, leaving a strange trail.
‘Quickly…!’
‘At this rate, I’ll catch up…!!’
The moment Io and Amelia Merwin’s faces turn pale after helping Muyaho!
Roaring!
Huge wings of flame blocked Muyaho’s path.
At the same time, Russell’s strong arm hugged Muyaho’s body and rotated as it was.
Roaring-!
The monsters that rushed into the storm of flame created by the wings of flame disappeared all at once.
[Is it magic that contains the flames of Hellfire and transforms it?]
Quah!
Then, calming the storm, Russell appeared.
“Are you okay?”
“Soo male…”
He holds Muyaho in his arms and spreads six wings made of flame behind his back.
In addition to that, a red moon rises behind Russell, lighting up the sky that has begun to darken.
Roaring!
Heat that evaporates not only the darkness of the night sky, but also dark clouds. 『
Russell Raymond

decisive battle.』
