Episode 109: The Demon King’s Attack Doesn’t Stop
Braaaahhh!!! He eradicated my Serial Hellfangs from Underground with just one hand!?
Guuhhh!!
Zaus’s strength is a bit beyond what I imagined!
At level 400,000, he couldn’t do something like that. So, it means he’s at least 500,000!
Tch!!
I’ll take care of this before it gets troublesome!!
I unleashed a series of strike attacks without a moment’s delay.
It seemed like Zaus blocked them instantly, but don’t underestimate a punch from a level 660,000.
He was sent flying far away.
I’ll turn you into ashes!
“Hellfire Bird Bomb!!”
A massive bird-shaped flame spell.
I created a thousand of them.
A follow-up attack.
Kuhaha!
It’s over.
“Die.”
⭐︎
~~Zaus’s Perspective~~
I was sent flying.
“Hmm.”
I managed to avoid the strike attacks.
But the Demon King’s attacks, even when they miss, create an incredible wind force. It’s problematic because even trying to brace myself causes shockwaves.
It would be a problem if the orcs behind me took damage.
So, I deliberately blocked and took the hit’s power…
I’ve been blown away over 100 kilometers.
There’s no damage at all, but I was thrown quite far.
Well, if it’s just this level of attack, I could have stood my ground.
“Huh? What’s that?”
It was a flock of flaming birds.
Good grief.
Hellfire Bird Bomb.
It’s a signature spell of the Demon King.
In the world of Breque, it’s a special move that can only be fired once.
There are about a thousand of them? Anyway, it’s an incredible number.
It’s not a problem if they hit me.
But if even one of those birds falls, Zaus Town will be obliterated.
It would be troublesome if they landed in my territory.
It would turn into a burnt field.
So, I’ll defend against all the birds.
The ultimate defense spell.
“The Gate of Defiance that Nullifies All Attacks.”
It was a gigantic gate over 100 meters tall.
Beyond the gate was like a black hole, capable of absorbing any attack.
It consumes a bit of magic power, but I’ll create about 100 gates.
The gates absorbed all the birds.
I don’t know what happens to the Hellfire Bird Bombs that went inside.
Do they burn forever, or do they lose their flammable power and disappear?
Well, in any case, anything absorbed by the gate is nullified.
Suddenly.
A giant serpent appeared.
Its head alone was probably 20 meters in size.
Eight of these giant serpents.
I was swallowed whole by one of the serpents.
Good grief. It’s pitch black.
I could faintly hear voices from outside.
“Ultimate Poison Magic: Purgatory Serpent! Inside the serpent’s body is filled with poison! Taste infinite suffering! Braaaahhhahaha!!”
The Demon King’s attack.
This kind of thing. I’ll crush it from the inside.
“Hmph!”
Splat!!
I pulverized all the serpents.
“Whaaat!?”
“Hey. How about getting serious?”
“Braahh!? Y-You dare to talk big! The Purgatory Serpent’s deadly poison is eroding your body, right? Kukuku. The antidote can only be given by the caster. No detoxification magic in this world can work. In other words, only I can eliminate the poison!”
“I have a skill that grants complete poison resistance. This kind of thing doesn’t affect me at all.”
“Whaaat!?”
Why is he panicking?
Could this be his true strength?
No way, that’s… impossible.
He’s the Demon King, after all. Moreover, he’s been significantly powered up by the demonic awakening performed by Idream Dal.
I can’t afford to let my guard down.
I’ll minimize my magic consumption.
I’ll use the Seven-Ring Strengthening Chakra Evoque Level 10 Times Enhanced First Burst when the battle gets closer.
☆
~~Demon King’s Perspective~~
Why… why is he this strong!?
Is he bluffing?
Is it really a bluff??
Despite that, he isn’t sweating at all…
Could he be pretending to act tough…?
That must be it! He took both the Hellfire Bird Bomb and the Ultimate Poison Magic: Purgatory Serpent. Each of these attacks are powerful enough to wipe out a kingdom in an instant. He took those attacks consecutively. There’s no way he could have taken no damage.
He must be seriously damaged. He’s definitely bluffing. Hmph! It’s a shallow trick that a lowly demon would come up with.
I can’t see his status due to the concealment magic, but he’s definitely taken significant damage.
Kukuku. Fool.
That bluffing tactic won’t work on me.
Kukuku.
In that case, I’ll shatter that bluffing strategy by hitting the mark!
Panic! Flounder!
Get flustered, Zaus!!
“Shall I give you time to heal? Kukuku.”
“What?”
Kukuku. The moment he chants a healing spell will be my chance.
I’ll land a powerful blow in that brief moment of vulnerability.
“I said, shall I give you time to heal?”
“Why?”
Kukuku.
Come on, sweat! Panic! Get flustered!!
“Hmph. You know the power of the Hellfire Bird Bomb. Even without touching it, just its flapping wings cause burns. Besides, you took the serpent’s biting attack. I feel bad defeating a dying opponent.”
“No… I haven’t taken a single point of damage.”
“………………………………..What?”
“I mean, I haven’t lost even one point of health.”
“……………………………..”
“So, there’s no time to heal. Or rather, I don’t need to heal in the first place.”
“……………………………..”
Braaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!?
W-What!??
How is this happening!?
Aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!?!
