190. Chapter 40. child of demons. (4)
Kwaned distanced himself with a weak moan. His eyes were swinging back and forth.
“What…
close combat didn’t work. That’s why he spread the distance and used hump magic. It was because he believed that he, who was a demon, had the upper hand in magic.
However, even such dark magic was destroyed
.
The last card he believed in collapsed miserably.
“…
Quaned bit his lip. I grabbed hold of the spirit that was about to collapse in helplessness.
It’s not over yet.
Quaned moved his body.
Kagagak!
Taesan smiled as he saw Kwaned calmly rushing towards him. All of the guides he had dealt with so far
lost their minds and moved erratically. But Kwaned didn’t show any signs of that.
‘This is an adventure.’
Taesan also intended to treat him accordingly.
Caang!
The sword shakes. They try to pierce each other by making a loud spark.
[You activated Shedding.]
Quaned’s sword, which was about to collide with Taesan’s sword, shook greatly.
Quaned did not stand still and responded
.
[Kwaned activated a counter.]
Kwaned’s body moved naturally and the swinging sword was corrected and collided with Taesan’s sword.
Taesan’s response was simple.
Taesan also activated a counter.
Kwajik.
“Kuk!”
Kwaned, who ignored his own defense and allowed his shoulder to attack, grabbed his shoulder and widened the distance.
‘What is it?’
Originally, the charm is activated only when the attack hits the opponent’s body. However, Taesan’s shed was activated even if the attack touched the sword.
The counter was also completely different from the effect he knew.
That’s why I couldn’t respond in a mediocre way and had no choice but to take damage.
«Ugh»
Kwaned raises his hand with a groan. At the same time, the energy of will he felt from Quaned changed. Taesan, who read it
, activated the magic before
Kwaned did .
[You activate Diffusion of Grains.]
[You activate Pursuit.]
The grains fly towards the Excellent Water Quaned. Quaned, who was trying to manifest black magic, moved hastily without achieving his goal.
Tuong!
Quaned was constantly pushed back.
But he didn’t give up. He desperately tried to find a way to win.
And Taesan trampled on all of that.
“under.”
Kwaned, now in a state of disrepair, put his back against the wall and laughed.
It was really dangerous.
There have been countless hardships and trials, but I have never been driven to this point.
“This is the last one.”
Kwaned gathered his strength.
A huge demon descends.
[Quaned
activated the young beasts of Belial.]
In an instant, darkness engulfed the entire space. Kwaned pours out demonic energy, possessing blood around his mouth.
His body trembles greatly. He muttered, barely holding on to his body that was about to fall.
“If this doesn’t work, what should I admit?”
Wow!
Numerous beasts appear in the open darkness. Like mutants, they thrust their claws and teeth at Taesan.
It was as if hell itself had descended. The beasts that appeared had power that even Taesan could not easily handle.
Dozens of them rush toward Mount Tai all at once.
Taesan gave strength to his feet.
[You activated the frozen world.]
The cold rages in the darkness. Frost begins to form on the bodies of the beasts that rushed at them. Ice begins to cover the darkness that engulfed the space.
KA’0}0H
The beasts howl and struggle not to freeze, but all resistance is trampled by the chill.
Ice covered the room. It froze as the beasts rushed at it. The only ones moving were Taesan and Kwaned.
Kwaned was also barely able to withstand the chill that permeated his body, but was unable to counterattack.
“I lost.”
Quaned nodded calmly. Taishan’s sword pierced him.
*
“It was fun.”
Taesan muttered to the fallen Quaned.
A battle in which players attack each other while revealing their pure skills and hand.
It was the pleasure of a battle felt after a long time. It was a very satisfying fight.
“okay? That’s good.”
Kwaned also said without a big change in expression. He did not show any will to fight as if he had given up on the battle.
“Surprisingly, there is no resistance.”
“Even if I try.”
Quaned raised his arm. The arm was shaking like an old man’s.
To him, as a demon, Magi is not a simple figure like mana. When all demonic energy is consumed, it becomes practically exhaustion. He
used
all his demonic energy to use Belial’s young beasts .
That was blocked at once by Taishan’s magic.
Now, even if he wanted to resist, he didn’t have the strength to do so.
Kwaned looked up at Mount Tae with admiration.
“…strong.”
The leader of the guide was also strong like a monster. All of them had enough strength to crush the current Kwaned with a single finger.
But that’s because they went downstairs first, Quaned thought
.
Their talent was not superior to their skill. I could tell every time I encountered them intermittently. They said that their inborn nature was not much different from his own, rather that he was superior.
The difference was because he went downstairs first and took a lot of things, but he thought that if he reached the depth, he would not be inferior to them.
But Tae-san didn’t think so.
Even though he was on the upper floor, he
overpowered him. Each of Taishan’s cards was difficult to deal with, and his greatest strength was helplessly trampled on by Taishan’s power.
“You are amazing.”
He cast an envying glance at Taesan. Taesan shook his head.
“Don’t look at me like that. Because I’m sorry.”
Quaned is his enemy. I came all the way here after receiving the mission of the guide.
There was no option to let them live without killing them.
“What… I can’t help it.”
Kwaned smiled bitterly.
“Because I was defeated. You have to pay a lot, but it’s not bad. In the end, it ends here like this.”
he was satisfied
Being persecuted and despised by everyone, and having no meaning in living, he realized his talent on his own. Recognized by everyone, he broke through the labyrinth.
It was regrettable that he couldn’t move forward, but he had already been recognized as a person of worth.
That was enough.
he closed his eyes Taesan clicked his tongue at his calm nod.
Kwaned also did not come to fight him on his own accord. Since Taesan received a lot from the demon, Taesan was also reluctant.
But I couldn’t let him live. Taesan raised his sword and Kwaned waited for death.
However, the sword did not come down, and
when the pain he had been waiting for did not come,
Kwaned opened his eyes slightly. Taesan was still looking down at him with a sword in his hand.
“what’s the matter?”
Instead of answering, Taesan looked at Kwaned’s head.
An ominous aura was felt there.
‘I didn’t know during the battle.’
It was a very small energy, so I couldn’t feel it because it was buried in Kwaned’s will. But when he let go of all his will, I felt it.
After vaguely
reading the meaning of that energy, Taesan murmured.
” contract?”
Quaned’s pupils shook.
Perhaps thanks to the concept skill, Taesan was able to roughly grasp what kind of aura was in Kwaned’s head.
It was a contract of some sort.
“What’s this?”
Taesan carefully read the energy.
The result was known.
The power of the immortal was felt in the aura.
“What do you think?”
[This is…]
The ghost groaned.
[Could it be Patricia’s contract?]
“What is it?”
[…The contract that the immortal Patricia scattered throughout the labyrinth. After death, the soul and power of the person who signed the contract are passed on to the person who signed the contract.
The soul is bound and unable to escape, and the strength accumulated over a lifetime becomes someone’s sacrifice.]
The ghost possessed a false laugh.
[I knew you found the contract, but did you really use it? And what are you? Why did you get this?]
The ghost asked Quaned as if arguing. It just didn’t make much sense to him.
And Kwaned also didn’t understand what he meant.
“The new contract I recently made
was that if I defeat you, I will release the previous contract?”
[under. These madmen.]
The ghost gnashed its teeth. Although he had great emotional changes, he had rarely shown such anger.
[It’s enough to cheat. Are you cheating on this? Are you crazy? Did you think that because it was an immortal contract, sparks would not fly on them?]
“What is it? tell me in detail.”
Taesan asked the ghost. The ghost calmed down and explained.
[Patricia’s contract. A contract created by the immortals
to mock and torment the mortals. And the two sheets of this contract overlap perfectly.]
“The overlapping means…
[There is a meaningless false sentence on the front side. And the real contract is written on the hidden back.]
Kwaned’s eyes shook greatly.
The ghost continued to explain.
[Why do you think I’m still here after I die?]
“Because I made a contract with the wizard of the labyrinth.”
That’s why the ghost’s soul was bound in the labyrinth.
[okay. According to the contract, the soul can move even after death. The Apostle’s Covenant is also one of them. Because you offer your soul to God and receive strength. The important thing is that a contract where you stake your soul must have certain conditions.]
“Conditions?”
[The soul is not light. after death. Because that time close to eternity is tied up. That’s why there must be conditions for those who sign the contract.]
The ghost continued.
[In the case of me, I know and agree to everything, and if my wish is fulfilled, the liberation of the soul will be achieved. The Apostle’s Covenant accepts great power in exchange for a soul. In a contract where the soul is staked like this, the opponent also has to pay the price accordingly, and only beings with that kind of power are possible.]
“The guides don’t seem to have that much power.”
Quaned’s eyes widened as he listened to the story.
Ghost clicked his tongue.
[As for Patricia’s contract, Patricia
herself lends her power. Instead, it fulfills the contract of the soul, but pays for it. The guides must have paid a considerable price to Patricia?]
The ghost’s voice was full of anger and absurdity.
[Since you’ve already fallen out with the gods, are you saying you’re going to side with the immortals? It’s varied. Really.]
“Take all the power? I get it roughly.”
Taesan twisted the corner of his mouth.
The labyrinth’s system
gains a lot when an adventurer defeats the same adventurer.
However, as the ghost said, if Patricia had a contract, there was a high possibility that even if Taesan killed Kwaned, he would not get anything. It was because the transfer of power was already decided by the contract.
Maybe that’s what the contract was for.
“How can I feed you taffy? this.”
Taesan drew his sword. There was no point in killing Kwaned now since he had heard the story. It was because all of that power went back to the guides anyway.
Kwaned was confused just like Kwaned.
“Then I… what will happen?”
[What’s going on? Souls
will be disposed of and discarded as they please. There is no way to do anything now that the contract has been signed.]
Kwaned’s face turned pale.
[The immortal contract has already been made, so even the demons can’t interfere. That’s why she must have felt sorry for her.]
The soul couldn’t return to the demon and was tied up by the guides. It was a pity for the demon god who did not interfere with the affairs of the labyrinth, but it must have been something that had to be left alone.
[It’s a pity, but we have to deal with it,]
said the ghost softly. Kwaned is already bound by a contract. If I let him live now, he would come back and fight him again.
But Taesan didn’t move.
Killing Kwaned is what the guides want him to do. That spirit and power return to them.
Not killing is also a wish. If so, the surviving Quaned will become stronger and become their strength.
Immortal Contract.
The binding of the soul. And the transfer of power.
And the skill that Taesan has.
“Is it possible?”
[What is it?]
“The thing that feeds the fuck.”
Taesan stood up and thrust his sword at Quaned.
Level up with skill
