The Demon King and the Demon King.
The Demon King and the Demon King, respectively.
Both are beings that symbolize ‘evil’ and are legendary and passed down as symbols of fear to the people of the continent.
It is known that the Demon King and the Demon King are of equal strength, but no one has directly seen them fight.
However, there was a passage in the revelation from the goddess that said that a disaster of the same level as the Demon King was coming, so summon a warrior to prepare for it.
The Demon King and the Demon King were defined as equals among the priests of the Goddess Church and high-ranking officials of the Griffin Kingdom.
However, even though they were considered equals, their fighting styles were very different.
The Demon King had a fighting style that focused on attacks using black fog containing mental and physical curses and black tentacles that lived in the demon realm.
The black tentacles had excellent life absorption abilities and attack power that flew like harpoons and stabbed the opponent, but their durability itself was not very strong.
In fact, if you met a strong opponent of a certain level, you could easily remove the tentacles, so their defensive aspect was almost nonexistent.
However, the Demon King Baal’s body itself is not made of matter but black smoke, and since the demon world can multiply tentacles infinitely, the lack of defense was not a big problem.
It was only a big problem for those who were contracted with skin.
Anyway, because of those parts, the Demon King had the power to strengthen the offensive aspect that ignored defense.
On the other hand, in the case of Demon King Claire, if the attack power was too strong, there was a possibility that the inexperienced warrior party members would be annihilated, so the goddess’s opinion that ‘then it wouldn’t be fun’ was reflected, and so she had a defensive balanced battle style with a little attack and strong defense.
She attacks by creating a defensive barrier through dark magic and firing beams.
Of course, she also has the ability to transform plants and animals into monsters by spreading magic around her, but that takes time, so it is out of the question in battles where there is not much time.
So, if this combination of Demon King-Warrior and Saintess-Demon King were to fight, who would win?
“Haaap-!!”
Chohwaak-!!!
In the case of warrior JinSeyeon, she couldn’t reach the Demon King two years ago.
However, this was only a story from two years ago.
While the other warrior party members except for Yooseong were wasting their time, Seyeon worked as a king and trained in her spare time.
That was until one year ago when the warrior class with infinite growth disappeared.
Falling apart…!!
Now, she possessed power almost similar to Demon King Claire.
“Divine Shield!”
Then what about the saintess?
In the case of the saintess, there was no difference from two years ago when the Demon King was defeated.
Rather, her faith in the goddess had decreased to the point where she was thrown underground, and the purity of her divine power had decreased, so she could be said to have become weaker than the saintess herself in the past, so she was not comparable to the grown Seyeon.
Then, with simple calculation, the combination of the Demon King and the warrior was stronger than the combination of the Demon King and the saintess.
Ting_!!
“Huh.
That’ll work.”
However, reality was different.
Seyeon looked up at the sky with a dumbfounded expression as the saint’s Divine Shield easily blocked the slash that had just pierced the black shield deployed by the warlocks.
Woof…
The white sphere surrounding the saint wasn’t even damaged, let alone broken.
Swoosh…
At LeaForte’s gesture, the white sphere disappeared and the view inside was revealed…
Swish-!!
Swish-!
Immediately, black tentacles like harpoons rained down towards the roof where Seyeon, Claire, and the Heretic Inquisitors were standing.
Swish-!!
Seyeon’s slash once again swept away the tentacles that were like tough yet solid steel skewers.
Swish-!
A considerable number of tentacles that had left the attack range broke in the air and attacked from both sides.
“Block them.”
Swish-
Titi-ting-!!!
Those tentacle strands were blocked by Claire’s shield of dark magic.
“Hero…
I guess we’ll have to hit them with more force.
How many times has this happened..!”
“I’ll cooperate this time.”
“Ugh…
Got it!
Let’s try again!”
And while Leah was about to regenerate her tentacles and attack again, Claire and Seyeon prepared to pass each other by combining their dark magic and light magic.
“Ugh-!!”
“Sweep them away!!”
With Seyeon’s shout, a crescent-shaped slash burst out from the holy sword and the dark magic beam containing Claire’s words intertwined and flew towards Leah and the dark magicians…
[Light… protect your children with holiness-]
Paaat-!
At that moment, Leah chanted a high-ranking sacred spell and once again gathered the particles of sacred power to erect a huge white barrier diagonally.
Shoooooo-
The combined attack, a mixture of golden and blue-green magical power, collided with the barrier Leah had put up and-
Kwaagak-!!!
Kwaaang-!!
It slid through the curtain of sacred power, flew into the air, and exploded.
Of course, the damage was zero.
“Huh…
You curse the goddess like that but she’s good at using sacred power…
Is this the right situation?”
Seyeon muttered with a dumbfounded face upon seeing that sight.
“I didn’t know that the combination of a saint and a demon lord would be this good.”
And Claire was the same.
While fighting the warrior party under Clara’s instructions, she knew that the saint’s defensive ability was amazing, blocking her attacks several times.
But she never expected that she would easily defend against the passing attack that the combination of a warrior and a demon lord had launched.
The saint’s power is healing and defensive ability using divine power.
Instead of having no attack ability, all of her abilities are focused on healing party members and blocking enemy attacks.
Goddess Clara designed the saint’s ability in that way, fearing that her precious actors in the warrior party might die.
In other words, it’s an extremely low-fuel-consumption, high-efficiency, cost-effective fraudulent healer.
The problem is that if it’s just that ability, you can just keep hitting the saint’s divine power until it runs out, like breaking a turtle’s shell.
You can deal with it by eliminating it when it pops out.
Sswaaaaaaak-
Sawaaaaaaak-!!
The saintess who gained the power of the Demon King, who specializes in attacks, continuously turns on and off the defensive shield and launches terrifying tentacle attacks through the gaps in time!
Just beating and breaking the saintess’s sacred shield is unpredictable.
Since she continuously launches tentacles to defend against the attack and exhausts her strength, as time passes, the energy of Seyeon and the Demon King who she is dealing with is exhausted.
Woof…
In the case of sacred power, as expected of a healing power, its regenerative power is also excellent, so even if she rests for a moment, she can instantly replenish the strength she expended to set up the defensive shield, so there was no actual consumption of strength.
Wiggle-Wiggle-!
Even the tentacles were not the saintess’s own power, but power borrowed from the Demon King, so they were not a burden to the caster at all.
“Block it!”
Woof-
In that situation, Claire again raises the dark magic shield.
“Ugh!”
Unlike before when it was a deep blue due to excessive magic consumption, it was translucent and had no strength.
Clap-!!!
Clang-!!
Claire’s black shield was eventually broken by the bundle of tentacles that were pounding on it.
Whaaaaak-!
“Ah.”
Claire had already run out of strength from striking the shield just now, so she couldn’t even think about dodging the tentacles flying towards her.
“Hey, get out of your mind!!”
At that moment, Seyeon jumped, pushed Claire away, and swung her sword.
Crunch-!
Crunch-!
With a sword strike that was like a flash of light, she succeeded in cutting down a few tentacles, but
Phuuk-!!
“Keuk..!”
“Hero!?”
One of the tentacles that missed the sword pierced Seyeon’s abdomen.
Wriggle-!
The sight of the tentacle swinging up and down while piercing Seyeon’s body, opening up the wound and…
“Keuuu..!!”
Everyone was at a loss as they watched Seyeon standing there groaning in pain, but Seyeon tightly shut her eyes.
Hwaruk..!!
He wrapped his hands in flames made of light magic
“Euaaa-!”
He grabbed the tentacles with one hand and pulled them out while burning them.
“Keuk…gasp.”
_Chik..!!
He immediately sutured the wounds on his stomach and back with light magic.
“Hero…
You!?”
“Ah…
It’s okay!
Either way…
It’s okay.”
Seyeon kept replying that she was okay, but her face was even paler than before.
She hadn’t treated the wound, she had just blocked the injured area to prevent the blood from bursting out.
The internal organs inside were still damaged by the tentacles that had rubbed the wound, and the magical power inside her body was being used to press so that the blood wouldn’t spread.
Because Seyeon was seriously injured, the Demon King and the warriors’ momentum subsided.
“Whew…”
On the other hand, LeaForte hadn’t lost any strength at all.
“Useless struggles”
Flutter-..!
She flapped her demon wings and came down a little closer.
“Can you please stop?”
She said with a pitiful face.
Judging from her expression alone, it was the compassionate face of a saint who was worried about those who were groaning in pain.
The demon wings attached to LeaForte and the black tentacles shaking around them made Lea look like a demon, not a saint.
Do it.
Kkieek-!
Gyaaak!
In the sky, a fallen saint, a necromancer, a warlock, and a horde of evil spirits.
Geuuu-
Cheolgeuk..!
Below, zombies, ghouls, and death knights crawl up the pillars and walls.
“Hoo…
hoo.”
On top of that, the important warrior is also in bad shape and can’t even breathe properly, and Claire herself is facing the worst situation where her strength as the Demon Lord has completely drained.
There’s nothing I can do.
If I use it once, my existence will be consumed.
Sigh.
Claire finally made up her mind and approached Seyeon.
“Hero!
It’ll be hard, but buy me some time!”
“Huh?
Is there any way?”
“I will use the power of the goddess!”
An exclamation mark appeared on Seyeon’s face at Claire’s declaration-like shout.
“Now that I think about it, you…”
Until now, I had thought of her as just a demon lord, but if I think about it carefully, Claire was actually a clone created by the goddess to use as her maid before she was a demon lord.
She may not be able to display as much power as a goddess, but she must have some level of power.
“Haha!
Ah-Good!
Good!
I’ll hold on as long as you can!”
Seyeon burst into laughter at the hope that the power of the goddess had given her in such a desperate situation.
She burned the fading magic of light and squeezed out the last of her strength.
Hwaruk!!!
She raised the golden blazing sword above her head—
Crap-!!
She once again unleashed a light slash at the flying tentacles.
“The Apostle is trying to perform a miracle!”
“Protect the Apostle with your life or even if you die!”
The Heretic Inquisitors also guarded Claire, who was forming a sacred formation to use her power, and continued to smash the heads of the zombies and ghouls that were crawling up with their sacred maces and hammers.
“Oh my?
Your Majesty!
It seems like they’re up to something suspicious-?”
At that moment, the necromancer Lissandra saw Seyeon and her group and spoke to Leah in a whispering voice.
That power feels familiar…
And I think I’ve seen that woman somewhere.
However, Leah furrowed her brow and did nothing as she watched Claire completing the sacred formation.
From the time she first saw Claire, she had felt a strange uneasiness and an unpleasant sense of foreboding, but now that she was forming the sacred formation, a certain “thought” was gradually becoming clearer in her head.
“Ah…
not yet?!”
“Almost done…
Ah!
Enough, warrior!”
With Claire’s shout.
Flutter!
Wings made of light spread behind his back.
“Sanctuary deployed-!”
Shin Sung-jin’s starting words burst out!
Woohoo–!!
A white sphere blooms from the tip of Claire’s hand, gradually growing larger and floating into the air.
“_”
A white sphere of light overlaps the position of the moon as it passes Leah, who is staring at the sphere with her round red eyes.
Paaat-!!
At that moment, a white sun rises in Hayden City, where the sun had never risen even once.
Grm-!
Kkeeek..!!
The zombies, ghouls, death knights, and banshees exposed to the light spreading from the white sun all melted and disappeared at once.
“Ugh…”
“Ahhhh…”
The same goes for the warlocks and necromancers flying in the air!
Although they did not melt or disappear like the undead, those who lacked strength fell to the ground due to their blood vessels being blocked.
In the case of high-ranking necromancers who used some strength, they could barely maintain a flying state by canceling the warlocks and curses they were using.
“Gyaaaaak…!
Your Majesty…!
Your Majesty!”
And the leader of the necromancers, Lissandra Heidegger, was no exception to the influence of the white sun.
No, rather, because she had transformed her body into half an undead, her beautiful face was melting horribly like the undead that had melted below.
She wandered nearby to get help from Leah in the unavoidable range of the sanctuary.
Chijijik!
LeahForte was not in a good situation either.
Due to the expanded sanctuary, the divine power inside her body was rather strengthened, but the power borrowed from the Demon King, the Demon Wings: Black Wing and the black tentacles, were disappearing as if they were burning.
“.”
Even though one of the large weapons she had was disappearing, Leah looked down at Claire, who was standing on the sacred formation, frozen in place as if she didn’t care at all about it.
“Guide, please do something!
Guide, please do something..!”
At that moment, Lissandra blocked Leah’s vision and shouted urgently.
Whoosh–
A tentacle suddenly moved behind Leah..
bang..!
“Hic..?”
It pierced Lissandra’s forehead.
Swish..!!
“Hikyaaaaak..!!!”
It started to suck out all of Lissandra’s remaining energy.
“Hukkuak..!!
Guide!
I’m a guide!!”
Lissandra screamed as she struggled while holding onto the tentacle.
“Lock me up…
Brainwash me…
To my brother…
To my brother…”
LeahForte’s red eyes, which continued to mutter something, were not looking at Lissandra at all.
Wiggle..!
Wiggle..!
Leah’s red eyes gradually lost focus along with the movements of the tentacles, pulsing and multiplying.
“Kill me..
Kill me..
Kill me..
Kill me.
Kill me.
Kill me.
Kill me!!!
I’m going to kill you!!!”
As LeahForte’s maddening scream, like a roar, erupted-
Wiggle wiggle wiggle wiggle wiggle-!!!!
Tens of thousands of black tentacles burst out from LeahForte’s back like tree branches!
–Squeak-!!
Phuuk-!!
Phuuk-!!
The tentacles all at once capture the prey in the surrounding area and, like a school of piranhas biting their prey, slam their pointed heads into the prey’s body.
Gulp!
Gulp!
“Gwasak..!!”
“Mo…
the body’s magic power..!
The target was the warlocks and necromancers who were flying nearby.
A horrifying sight unfolded as the tentacles absorbed all the black magic and death energy of the warlocks and necromancers, just like they did to Lissandra earlier.
Shuuuu-
Wooung.
Leah, floating in the middle of the screaming necromancers impaled by the tentacles.
“Haaah…
Haeuu….”
She let out a lewd moan with an extremely erotic face as she felt a fulfilling orgasm that went beyond pleasure due to the power focused on her.
“Ahh…
Meteor Brother…
Haa..”
Her eyes that had lost their reason seemed to have forgotten even this situation and were looking at someone.
Shuuu…
The black fog that spewed out from around LeahForte’s body covered the white sun and once again dyed Haydn’s poem black.
“But still, it’s the power of a goddess, but the fog…
It doesn’t mean it’s lifted just because it’s slightly obscured by the same thing, right?”
Seyeon asked, looking back at Claire with a laugh as she watched her surroundings getting darker and darker.
“The light from the artificial sun made of divine power forms the sanctuary…
If that light doesn’t reach the ground…”
“It’s lifted?
You can’t?”
“It’s over…
Warrior.”
Along with Claire’s calm voice, Seyeon’s expression also became even more gloomy.
She wanted to just lower her head and fall asleep, but helter-skelter!!
At the noise of the temible things approaching, Seyeon had no choice but to look up at the sky and hold the handle of her sword again.
A number of tentacles, incomparable to before, were heading this way, filling her field of vision.
“If I run away…”
Those tentacles were clearly coming after Claire.
Having heard LeahForte’s murderous shouts earlier, Seyeon had figured out that LeahForte had mistaken Claire for a goddess and had gone berserk.
If you give me the Demon King as bait, I might be able to run away.
That thought crossed Seyeon’s mind, but she soon lowered her head.
“What’s the use if I run away alone?”
While losing the Demon King who was to install the Yongsa Buyeojin, he was also unable to bring the saintess who would provide the Yongsa Buyeojin with divine power.
“I even told Yooseong that I would solve it this time…
If you run to him for help..”
Wriggle-!!
Crunch-!
“Gao isn’t going to live!!”
Crackle-!!
Seyeon blocked Claire’s path and swung her sword madly.
Crunch–!!
Crunch-!!
She continued to cut down and slaughter countless tentacles, but the number of tentacles was just too great, as if she couldn’t stop the oncoming waves with just her sword swings.
Phew-!!
“Crunch..!!”
Also, in a situation where even the magical power to strike was completely exhausted and only the tip of the blade was left with magical power, it was impossible to hold out for long.
Whirl–!
“_!”
In the end, a tentacle strand wrapped around one of Seyeon’s arms that was holding the sword-
Thud-!!
Push!!
“Kusaasak-!!!”
It tore off the arm and rendered it incapacitated.
“Yongyeon!!”
Claire stretched out her hand and shouted upon seeing Seyeon like that, but…
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle-!
“Ha..!?”
Soon, his body was buried by black tentacles that rushed in from all directions.
“Ah…
Meteor Brother.”
LeahForte, who was still grinning with her dazed red eyes that had not yet recovered from the afterglow of absorbing the power, was below her feet.
Wiggle, wiggle…
Haydn’s poem was engulfed in black tentacles.
The Demon King and Seyeon.
One month later, a group of people gathered from the back mountain of the Black Castle in the northern part of Hayden City.
Everyone had serious expressions and were silently staring off to one side, which was extremely suspicious.
Their attire was also unusual.
Silver-haired female knights wearing purple armor.
A half-elf girl wearing a red cape and holding a staff.
An old warlock with a black beard.
Beep…
beep-
And there was a man with gray hair who was waving his fingers in the air in unison while wearing thick metal gauntlets.
They all seemed to give off a different vibe from the criminals.
“That…
the opponent is a saint who has a contract with the Demon King and can use all of his divine power.
I don’t know what method he’ll use, but…
is that really possible?
Right now, I’ve distorted my dark magic and am blocking his eyes, but he’ll be discovered after I attack, and no matter how many great wizards of the High Circle there are, he won’t be able to escape.”
The worried old man, the master of the dark magic tower, Granil, said.
“If this doesn’t work, nothing will work.”
The man…
Yooseong answered as he enlarged the hologram screen with his finger to examine the inside of the castle.
Whoosh…
zing-
The observation device examining the castle was none other than a satellite drone floating high in the sky.
The guy who shot the railgun that once sent Demon King Claire to the ground was reborn as an upgraded version after being modified several times.
Now, it is no longer a metal bar, but a terrifying strategic weapon that fires a high-powered laser to precisely destroy a target.
It is one of the seven weapons that will destroy the world, and by adjusting the output, it can eliminate up to a city in a country.
However, by the time it was made, it was too busy with other things to use it as a direct means of terrorism.
In any case, by adding various functions, it was possible to monitor an area and expand its field of view to examine it in detail as if a satellite were observing the Earth, and it was also possible to identify the location of people moving inside the building with infrared.
[Infrared surveillance mode…]
[Switch to SLOW mode..]
The structure of the castle and the people moving inside observed by the satellite drone were all filmed and transmitted to Yooseong’s artificial eye.
“Observation target JinSeyeon.”
[I will carry out the order.
Master.]
While closely examining the floors and floors of the castle with the assistance of the AI, Yooseong was able to find a person confirmed to be Seyeon in the room on the top floor.
[A creature presumed to be ‘JinSeyeon’ was discovered.]
“It’s alive…”
As the AI said, it was a creature, not a dead body.
He had worried that Seyeon’s arm might have already been sent, but fortunately, Seyeon’s body was marked in red.
In other words, her body temperature existed.
“But…
she’s not alone.”
A person was standing in front of Seyeon, who seemed to be tied up somewhere.
Judging by the blue and red colors flashing in a confusing manner, it wasn’t a normal person.
“Can you tell me more precisely who it is?”
[I’ll try to input the related people recorded on the device.]
The AI’s answer echoed in his head.
[Observation results.
It is presumed to be the former saintess ‘LeaForte.’]
“_”
Yooseong responded to the AI’s answer with wide eyes.
“I was going to look for her anyway, so it’s fortunate that she’s here.”
As he muttered that, Yooseong immediately tapped the holographic screen controlling the satellite drone with his finger, zooming in on LeaForte.
He then pressed the button that said [Lock-on.]
Beep–
“Launch.”
[Executing the command!]
He gave the launch order to the satellite drone.
