34. A friend comes to visit from afar (5)
“It’s different from what we just said. “Are you mentally ill?”
“How can the ceremonial question of whether to go back when it’s over come to such a conclusion?”
“So what do you want to do? Can you make me cry a little more? Or should I go back?”
“Was it something I could decide?”
“ O ”
o.
“You must be really bored.”
“Please hold on to me.”
“why?”
“The bad kids kept the documents intact.”
“Is there a lot?”
“About a thousand pieces a day.”
“About one, two, three, four, five, six months?”
“Help me.”
“Didn’t you say you did it from time to time?”
“It turns out there wasn’t as much done as I thought.”
“But if I keep busy like this again, won’t it only lead to more documents piling up?”
“Back then it was office work, now it’s government work. “If absence is justified
, work will be transferred to a lower level.”
Deus burst out laughing.
“You owe me again.”
“Yes, Seong-eun is devastated.”
Yulgeum remained in the demon world.
The justification was to reconcile differences between the demons and dragons.
But no one knew what she really did.
I’m always drinking tea on the terrace of the Demon King’s office.
Zeke and Signy
were climbing the mountain with only helpers named Sadimus and Nezar.
Among them, Nezar went into hiding, saying he was making weapons, and Signi lost her power due to the sword sticking out of her back.
They were moving forward with only the power of Zeke and Sadimus.
But the two were not such heroes and wizards.
Zeke’s strength increased day by day and month by month.
It was because the limit had been broken. He was pioneering a realm outside of humanity.
It was a road that no warrior in the world had ever traveled.
Who can predict how far the hero who killed the Demon King will grow?
Sadimus’ strength was also unusual.
He was the king of the lichs.
He was able to summon all dead things and make them his servants.
Not only that, but he also mastered numerous dark magics.
The dark magic that deals with death and decay was powerful enough even for the mugwort monster.
The place where Zeke’s group is now is the southern watchtower of Noeikan.
It was a fortress that had once been taken over by an army of ants, and now it was occupied by a fragrant demon dragon.
The power of the Perfume Demon Dragon was enormous.
The huge body, which was about 40 meters long, was a weapon in itself.
Because it was a contaminated sperm whale, it was no longer a marine creature.
The fat that formed the streamlined shape of the waist and head had decreased significantly, revealing the muscles. It may look funny as it waddles around with its short front paws, but
anyone would be scared
when faced with its teeth that could break apart a rock the size of a house .
Zeke blocked those terrifying teeth with his shield.
Now physical attacks are no longer a big obstacle.
The shield surrounded by the aura did not suffer any damage from any force.
As I became more confident in my defense, my attacks also gained strength.
The Scented Demon Dragon bent down. In that state, he suddenly stretched out his body and crushed Zeke with his upper body.
However, Zeke had already figured out the demon dragon’s pattern from his preliminary movements.
I quickly rolled across the floor and stood on the other side.
“Holy Cross!”
The sacred cross flashed on the copper on the side of the Scented Demon Dragon, creating a large wound.
At that moment, Sadimus’ magic was activated.
The exposed flesh shed rotten water at a rapid rate.
It was infested with flies and maggots, and all kinds of germs invaded the Sperm Dragon’s body.
The demon dragon’s movements became sluggish. There was no way Zeke
would miss that opportunity.
“Holy jade large species hunting technique, moonlight bird great torrent!”
It was a swordsmanship that was ridiculed as useless, but when the person wielding it changed, its power became completely different.
Aura Holy Cross chased the powerful sword and created a huge cross, creating an irreparable wound on the side of the giant demon dragon.
Life went by quickly.
The flowing blood became grains of sand falling from the hourglass.
“Zeek get out of the way!”
There is a being who can turn it back, and it is a necromancer.
The moment Zeke retreated following Sadimus’ cry, an enormous amount of magical power poured into the body of the Scented Demon Dragon.
A black magic circle embroidered the sky, and lightning poured down and enveloped the sperm whale’s body.
“Mr. Sadimus!”
“For now, let’s just think about survival.”
Sadimus responded by waving his hand in the air.
His body came to mind. Black smoke enveloped the body like a whirlwind and
was quickly sucked into the demon dragon’s mouth.
Zeke watched that scene for a moment and then turned around.
Then he returned to Signy, who was hiding in the thick bushes.
“I feel an evil energy.”
“Mr. Sadimus is trying to resurrect the corpse of the Scented Demon Dragon.”
“ah! Half soul drinking…
“It’s not really bringing it back to life. “Just trying to control a corpse.”
“I know. I learned about dark magic at school. “It is a forbidden magic that must never be learned or used.
”
Sadimus just said to think only about survival.
It’s probably a self-excuse made out of fear of feeling rejected, as is his signature.
However, Zeke had no ill feelings toward anti-marriage liquor. In the first place, most of the magic that Zeke learned was Sadimus’ dark magic.
Zeke looked at Signy.
At that time, a smile appeared at the corner of Signy’s mouth.
“But it was the Demon King who saved my life
.”
“That’s right.”
“What an interesting fate. Is that thing growing on my back really a sword? Everyone is shouting that it is a magic sword, but if it is a sword, who is it for?”
Zeke looked at his sister’s back.
It is about 1 meter long and 20 centimeters wide. The overall shape was thin and pointed, clearly shaped like a sword sheath.
If there was something in it, it had to be a sword.
“Maybe it’s the sword I made.”
“What are you talking about?”
“I have always wanted to be someone who is helpful to my brother. “As I watched my brother practice with a tattered iron sword because he didn’t have money to buy a sword… I thought how great it would be if I could become a sword myself.”
“That’s just a child’s imagination.”
“Imagination often becomes reality when it meets magic.”
Zeke couldn’t find the words to reply. Meanwhile,
a tug of war was going on between
Sadimus’ magic power and the scented dragon Thanatos.
“Zeke! “The enemy is on the right!”
Then Sadimus shouted. But Zeke had already sensed the enemy and was running.
I saw a monster that looked like a wild boar.
It was a wild boar contaminated with mugwort. The molars had grown as long as three spans and were sharp like spears.
Normally, I would have been no match for Sadimus, but not now.
I couldn’t move as I was pouring magical power into the body of the perfume demon dragon.
As Zeke was about to swing his sword,
divine energy poured into his body.
When I turned around, I saw Signy leaning against a tree.
“It’s a lot better now.”
“Don’t overdo it.”
Zeke said this and swung his sword.
Suddenly, the boar’s head split open and blood sprayed out.
“Are you really… Zeke?”
“It’s gotten a lot stronger, right?”
“It’s unbelievable.”
A few more mountain animals appeared
.
It seemed like he had smelled the blood that the Demon Dragon Xiang Yu had shed.
Zeke flashed back and forth against the monsters. Although carnivores were stronger than herbivores, they only added to the effort of cutting a few more times.
In the meantime, Sadimus’ magic was completed.
The Sperm Dragon, which had been struggling, suddenly became calm and sat down calmly next to Sadimus.
The exhausted Lich King collapsed on the floor, out of breath
.
“Damn, this is too hard for a thousand-year-old man to do.”
“Thank you for your hard work.”
“you also.”
Sadimus looked back at Zeke and Signy who had come to his side and smiled broadly.
“I’m not sure if I can maintain my magic power, but for the time being, thanks to this guy, I’ll be able to live comfortably.”
The key to anti-soul art was to defeat Thanatos’ death instinct with magic.
Because it was such a large and powerful creature,
it was not easy to overcome its instincts.
After taking a breather, Zeke and Signi Sadimus moved into the fortress.
Because it was built for humans, the giant mugwort monsters could not enter, so the inside of the fortress was empty.
There are only a few traces of fighting with ants in the past.
Because there was a fear of birds attacking the rooftop, the lower floors were cleaned to provide a place to rest.
Just by lighting a fire and boiling water, the inside of the fortress became cozy.
“I don’t know anything else, but if I stay here, my strength will increase quickly.”
Zeke scratched his head at his self-mocking words.
“Yes, of course.”
“Are you sure you want to stay here? “I think it’s impossible.”
“I’m going to do as much as I can.”
“If only there were at least a few hundred soldiers…
At that time, one person burst into the house.
“One hundred per day! That refers to this body.”
“Nezar!”
Nezar, a two-meter-tall giant, was twirling a hammer with a handle of about 50 centimeters on his wrist.
The hammer contained powerful lightning energy.
“Rain God’s Hammer. “It’s a deteriorating plate, but I think it’s usable enough.”
The hammer head was unusually large. It was about the size of a large hammer used at construction sites.
But even Sadimus
couldn’t understand where that brain power energy came from.
It was a special power that was different from magic.
Thanks to Nezar’s joining, Zeke’s group was able to relax for a while.
Although he was not a loyal servant, his power was great.
Especially after getting a hammer that fits his hand, he showed performance that was better than sadimus.
After completing some maintenance at the fortress, Sieg decided to move to Neuekan Castle.
“Isn’t protecting this place enough for survival?”
Zeke shook his head when Nezar asked.
“A unit of about 1,000 people could easily get here. You can’t fight with your comrades. “You have to hide deeper.”
“What about comrades? If they attack, we can trap them and kill them all. “After we do that three or four times, we won’t send troops here anymore.” “Ha,
I guess you should have just sent it to Deus-sama .
“You would be welcome there.”
“Hahaha joke too. “I wonder where there is a servant who can be as helpful as me.”
Nezar said this with a smile, but he was nervous because he was afraid that Zeke would truly send him to the demon world.
For three days, Zeke wandered into the mountains, hunting and stockpiling food.
The purpose was to not worry about chores such as hunting while settling down in the castle town of Noiekan.
And on the fourth day, we left Nammun Fortress, where we had been comfortably staying,
and entered the road leading north.
The distance was only a few kilometers at most, but I couldn’t even imagine what danger there might be in that distance.
After a few steps, Zeke glanced towards the cave where he had previously fought the queen ant.
What kind of premonition did you have?
I didn’t take my eyes off of that for a while.
When he suddenly came to his senses, there was a woman in front of him with light green hair with her bangs covering her eyes.
“You noticed.”
“Mr. Lakhe!”
“I’m trying to put down roots…because I can’t forget life here.”
“Welcome.”
Lakhe’s cheeks blushed at Zeke’s big smile.
