[ Episode 182. Devil King ]
Why me?
I didn’t know why, but I pulled out my sword and swung it.
Awesome!
Took.
“Huh?”
He reflexively tried to block it using magic, but it seems he didn’t think about the speed of my sword wind.
His broken arm fell helplessly to the floor.
He took his arm off so easily that even I was surprised.
“Aagh!”
Asran’s elite undead came out of the subspace, but he was busy screaming in pain.
In the meantime, I also summoned my undead. As soon as
Sreung-
Nickel popped out, he slashed his sword at the opponent’s undead, and Mirinae’s magic created a huge shadowy hand and grabbed the enemy.
Certainly, the rank of the undead seemed high, befitting Morne’s apprentice.
– Khuhuong!
Quaang!
However, one undead was quickly shattered by Timur’s fist.
Unless you didn’t know, the level was inevitably low compared to my undead.
It was an undead created using the body of an Auror Master and legendary beings.
Evolution is a bonus.
“Adrias!”
Aslan, who was still screaming, was annoyed.
I ignored everything and ran straight to Aslan.
“Hee!”
Whenever he screamed to death, Aslan made a strange sound and tried to run away.
But you can’t escape me with the wretched body of a wizard.
Huung-
A huge mace flew at me.
It was a bit burdensome to block it, so I decided to cut it as it is.
Chain fluid-
coo-gu-gu-gung!
The sound of the beating was faint.
Dyurahan, who was holding a weapon in a bundle of maces that fell into dozens of pieces, hesitated as if embarrassed.
I bet you didn’t even think of ringing the bell.
It is a level of swordsmanship that I could not even have thought of not too long ago.
“What! Are you a monster? Heh, black magicians have such swordsmanship skills…….”
“Monsters? You look more ugly.”
It was so overwhelming that I didn’t even feel any sense of danger.
But if there’s one question, didn’t you say that you absorbed Harungel’s power?
Why doesn’t it look like that?
‘Are you still absorbing? Or are there other mechanisms left?’
Of course, there was no need to worry.
I immediately cut through the opponent’s Undead and approached him.
“Ha Harungel! Why is there no strength…….”
Sreuk-
Degururu-
Aslan literally fell down without even trying anything.
It was so easy that it was embarrassing.
Of course, the easiest reason was that the opponent was careless.
It was standard for a summoner to hide and fight because the number of summons was strong, not the strength of the person himself, but Aslan made a rudimentary mistake, perhaps because of his pride in absorbing Harungel.
If I hadn’t, I would have won, but I could have struggled more than I do now. ‘By the way, what the
hell
is Harungel…’
Suddenly, black smoke billowed from Asran’s body, which had been still, and rushed at me.
It was so fast that I couldn’t even react.
“Kheup?”
The smoke that came in through my nose and mouth entered my body as it was.
And soon, a message appeared in front of my eyes.
-Titling!
[Harungel de Bastagio’s soul eats into the player’s body.]
[The original magic ‘Dark Erosion’ is being activated.]
Harungel, did you really want this from the beginning?
It seems that I saw an opportunity and walked a tightrope between Aslan and I until the end.
[The body goes out of control.]
[The erosion accelerates.] A
cold sweat broke out as I felt Harungel taking control of my body in an instant.
‘for a moment. Dark erosion?’
Gradually, while my body stopped listening, I spontaneously recalled the magic of light.
Harungel could be seen as black smoke, and maybe…
uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
…
I immediately activated full-power light magic with genius-level talent.
The coordinates are inside my body.
It was obviously crazy, but this was the only way that came to mind right away.
Fuhuaaaaaang——–!
Light exploded.
No, to tell you the truth, it seemed like I was blind.
“Keugh.”
I gnashed my teeth as I felt my optic nerves burn.
More pain than expected.
Most likely he was blind.
But there was no room for regret.
It’s much better than having your body taken over by Harungel.
-Pusssss.
Harungel’s painful feelings came to me vividly.
I smiled as I felt the screaming Harungel who couldn’t make a sound.
[The original magic ‘Dark Erosion’ is weakened.]
[The control of the body has been returned.]
“Where is this bastard?”
– Hey hey hey hey.
Harungel, who couldn’t even transmit the sound properly, muttered, but the problem was that he still didn’t come out.
However, this problem was easily solved unexpectedly.
[“What is this again.”]
The original sin has awakened after a long time.
[“I’ve never rented to another guy.”]
“Is my body your house? Rather than that, how can I deal with him?”
[“Come to think of it, a pretty interesting toy rolled in. I will play with this.”]
Gulp.
As soon as the words of original sin were finished, the sound of something being swallowed was heard…
[The original magic ‘dark erosion’ disappeared.]
Harungel’s presence disappeared.
[Absorbed powerful magic.]
[All of Harungel de Bastajiu’s influence is attributed to the player.]
[Dark magic talent greatly increases.]
I immediately asked Original Sin.
“what? How did you do it?”
[“Once I swallowed it. It’s howling inside of me right now.”] I
felt empty, thinking that the original sin could have been solved even if I hadn’t trembled with the plague with light magic.
[“no. If this guy’s strength hadn’t weakened, I couldn’t have swallowed him either. It’s a pretty strong toy.”]
After reading my thoughts, Original Sin giggled.
It’s a bit comforting, though.
[“By the way, what are you going to do with the eyes?”]
“It can be fixed.”
Because he made quite a few potions in the village of the Hwanin tribe, his skill in making potions went up considerably.
It’s not that I’m going to evolve, but thanks to the increased experience, I was confident that I could heal this level of injury.
‘It may not be possible with modern medicine, but this place has a mysterious power called mana…’
In the first place, it was not completely blind, but it was a serious injury level, so it was a voice that could be said.
Would I have used magic without any preparation just because I was crazy?
I protected the inside of my body with mana and then exploded it, so if it wasn’t this much, it would have been worth watching.
[“I’ll have to play with my new toy.”]
“Wait a minute…”
He’s gone.
Anyway, I couldn’t call him what I wanted, so he was a very frustrating guy.
Anyway, what does it mean to say that all of Harungel’s influence belonged to me?
“ah……!”
Is it because I can’t see my eyes?
The feeling of mana was much stronger than usual, and I could feel the numerous beings swarming in my subspace.
“Who are you?”
**
The immutable Harungel.
Harungel de Bastagio.
The strongest necromancer of all time, standing at the pinnacle of contradiction.
“That means I am Harungel!”
He cried out desperately in a mysterious space surrounded by darkness.
It was a scene like despair to him who wanted to finally see the light after living alone in the dungeon for hundreds of years.
“Finally… I thought I was finally going out of the world!”
“noisy!”
A huge roar erupted from Harungel’s side.
Harungel, who thought he would be alone, looked around in surprise.
“Oak?”
“This body is Al-Gurd, the Great Warrior of Bayatra. If you’re a newcomer, don’t speak out and be quiet!”
“Huh?”
An orc who can speak without being trapped in a strange space?
Although the level of the warrior seemed quite high, it was just ridiculous to Harungel, who had already defeated many strong people.
“It’s better. yes it’s orc Please explain where this place is.”
“Let’s see the rookie subject, so I guess I need some training. I don’t understand why someone with no honor like you was brought here.”
Al-Gurd let go of his fist and approached Harungel.
However, Harungel let out a snort without blinking an eye.
“This body is the immutable Harungel. Even if you’re an Auror Master, you’re no match for me. If you don’t want to see it in a bad way, explain about this place when you use nice words.”
“You cheeky human bastard!”
Kraha!
The moment Al-Gurd roared again and was about to run towards Harungel.
“Why are you making such a fuss?”
A third person appeared.
Then Al-Gourd, who hastily stopped moving at the voice, knelt down and sat down.
“You great being. Are you here!”
Harungel, who watched with an absurd expression on Al-Gurd as he bowed his head to the ground, soon turned his head.
There, a man who was obscured by the darkness was sitting on a throne-like chair with his legs crossed and his chin resting.
“Are you the owner of this space?”
“then?”
“joy! I don’t know what kind of trick they used, but I think I can get out if I take care of you.”
Even though he had no body, Harungel, who had a strong magical power and a soul, was confident in fighting in such an image space.
The place where he endured for hundreds of years was also an image space, so it was enough for him to show his skills.
“Hmm?”
However, it didn’t take long to realize that it was reckless.
“It’s been a long time since I’ve been in the middle of a long time. Okay, come on.”
An inexplicable dark energy flowed from the man sitting on the throne.
mana? to come? momentum? Or simply atmosphere?
However, upon encountering that energy, Harungel felt his emotions erode and trembled without realizing it.
“What the hell is this…”
“Why? Where did the momentum from a moment ago go? Come on quickly.”
Seeing the opponent grinning and talking, Harungel swallowed.
He had only encountered this aura once in his life.
It’s a huge pure evil.
However, the king of all demons that had already been said to be extinct.
“Demon King?”
**
In the end, I couldn’t figure out why Aslan Blue was aiming at me.
My guess is that it’s probably a matter of faction succession.
Perhaps the reason why he came all this way was because he was chasing me instead of Harungel.
“Here’s the megilan root.”
“thank you.”
After being rescued safely by Maximin and his companions who escaped the maze, I was staying in the village of the Hwanin tribe and making a potion to treat my eyes.
It was burdensome because Merkur was right next to me, bringing me the ingredients and helping me, but he was rather grateful to me.
“For generations in the village, Harungel’s grave has always been a nuisance. It’s dangerous to touch it, and it’s a matter of being on the sidelines, so the little ones could break the seal…”
“I understand.”
“So I want to convey this thanks to you more. Now that Harungel has disappeared and there are no more troubles, I am relieved.”
“I was lucky. It was not my intention.”
“I hope the results are good. Now, what was the next ingredient?”
“Hmm, is there any native grass that works for burns?”
“Mulligen flowers! I’ll get you right away.”
Daesoorim’s ingredients were different from common ones, so they had to talk about their medicinal properties.
Materials that are common on the continent are not here, and what is common here is rare on the continent.
While I was making the potion, a customer came to visit.
“Adrias.”
“You are here. How are you feeling?”
Although she couldn’t see her eyes, she could tell that it was Isabelle by her body odor and the opponent’s aura.
She returned from Harungel’s tomb and immediately weakened the curse again with the Seed of God’s Death, but it seemed that the effect was not as effective as before.
“yes I’m okay. Rather, I’m worried about Adrias-sama’s eyes.”
“I am fine. Naturally, the wound will heal in a few years, and if you add a potion, it will heal in a few days.”
“Then I’m glad. Actually, the reason I visited Adrias-sama was because I had a request.”
“ask?”
Isabelle asking me for a favor?
Is there anything other than the Seed of Godsal?
“I heard that Adrias has a family, so he must have a place to live, too, right?”
“Ah, I am simply a noble with a title, so I don’t have a territory. There is only one small mansion.”
“We plan to leave to find traces of the old gods for Adrias-sama’s ability, but we need a base. If you’ll excuse me, can I use Adrias’ residence as my base? I think that would be convenient to contact.”
I was silent for a while at the completely unexpected request.
No matter how much it is, living as a citizen of the Empire is the same as putting a time bomb in the house…
“Don’t worry about things with the Empire. We will hide our identities as a normal couple and live as hired servants in the mansion.”
“If you hide it, it can be hidden……”
“Adrias. Do not worry. I am a direct vampire. Blood magic is used in many different places than I thought. For example, dazzle or something……”
No matter how much it is, the Maximin couple is a double-edged sword.
Obviously, if used well, there is no stronger weapon than this, but it is a problem because Satan can arise before you even wield that weapon.
“Once again, I am a direct vampire. Besides, the queen is currently absent from our family.”
“Are you aiming for the queen?”
“If Adrias-sama wants it.”
“yes?”
“Actually, as long as I can be with Maximin, I have no greed for the position of queen. However, if it is to be of help to the benefactor, you can glar at it enough.”
“Do you have any reason to come into my house like that?”
Let’s be honest.
Why is my house trying to come that far?
Rather, it was an uncomfortable place for them.
I’d rather wander around like now…
‘Isn’t that so?’
Anyway, there were plenty of places to settle down even if it wasn’t my house.
“I think the continent will become dizzy soon.”
“Ah…”
Isabelle’s one word made me admire in my heart.
Was she feeling it too?
“No matter how strong Maximin and I are, there will come a disaster that we cannot overcome alone. It’s a concern I’ve shared with Maximin since I woke up.”
“Are you saying you two chose me then?”
“Not quite. But it must be half tilted.”
Do you mean that you want to be included in my faction rather than just staying there?
Then the story would be different.
I know the future of the continent that will happen in the future.
And I know of the main episode of the destruction that will happen consecutively in a few years.
‘Accepting these two might be difficult right now.’
But at that time, there will be no more reliable allies.
Besides, if Isabel became the vampire queen, it was like the power of the Lucifer family would become my own.
‘If someone with no power grasps the treasure, it will be taken away.’
It took some thought, but I finally made up my mind.
Now I am powerless.
However, he was confident that he would soon gain strength.
“i look forward to.”
“Please take good care of us too.”
I could feel her laugh.
It seems that starting from Salem, the power of the assembly faction and the maximin naturally grows.
I was even more impressed when I thought that it was the result of doing my best in every moment rather than intentionally.
‘I can stop it.’
It seemed to be able to prevent the end of the world.
