…Derek still didn’t understand.
What on earth did the knight see that made him believe his words?
No, even if he believed it, why did he fight with such all his heart?
‘It would have been easier if I ran away…’
If anyone were in this situation.
If I were to face such a giant, I would tremble in fear and run away.
Because that’s the natural course of things.
But far from giving up, he is now wielding his sword on the most dangerous front line.
What on earth made him so desperate… .
Will it make me brave?
– Huh? You don’t know the easy answer? Anyway, you’re quite the smart-aleck.
… and the one who answered this question was a girl with amethyst colored eyes.
– It’s not about fighting because you’re brave. People have something to protect, and when the moment comes when they can’t escape, they split into two: either give up and end their lives, or struggle. And the person you’re talking about is probably the latter, but he’s not someone who struggles like an ordinary person-.
“-I’m going to do my best to resist.”
Derek watched the battle between humans and monsters, recalling the words of the wisest and most trustworthy girl he knew.
I’m talking about that fierce and desperate battle.
Looking at this.
“Your Majesty, it seems like I’m the only one struggling, and that person is just.”
It seems like bravery is right.
Derek muttered softly and fell down, exhausted, but as he fell, he kept his eyes wide open and prayed.
‘I hope this helps even a little.’
“… Status window?”
For a moment, Lee Han felt it.
The sound of countless flower petals falling from the sky.
And I feel it again.
The determination of the gray-haired boy who poured out his aspirations behind me and desperately mustered up his courage.
He felt this clearly.
[[Haaah!!!]]
With a powerful shout and the sound of a lion’s roar, he swung his sword even more vigorously.
The Ghost King was taken aback by the loud roar of Ilsun Leehan and the great blow, and took a step back.
Lee Han had now made the giant-like Demon King retreat with just a spirited swing of his sword.
A feat like the one that made ants retreat from humans.
But he didn’t make the guy step back on purpose for the sake of achievements or anything like that.
The coward who was thought to be timid has finally shown courage, so I just put a spoon in his mouth so that his courage can be rewarded.
like that.
Dudududududuk-!
Countless needles resembling flower petals poured down to the ground.
Pavabavat!
The petal-shaped dark clouds densely fill the air and burst, raining down needles.
Roughly ten thousand, or maybe even more.
But the needle did not target people.
Even though it was aimed at people, the needle was gentle and did not harm the human body, so it only targeted monsters with evil spirits.
“Mancheonhwawoo… .”
It was a magnificent sight that involuntarily brought to mind the story of the Sicheongdang family, the masters of poison and secret weapons, the losers of the Sacheon region of Pungjin Gangho.
As expected.
[[Ugh… Ugh!!]]
[Ga…?!]
[!!?!]
[Aaaa…!]
Its power is also bound to be spectacular.
The needles that poured down like a shower were aimed only at monsters, killing them painfully.
Not only do they target the cadets and the nols fighting them, they also rain down on the Demon King, crushing his skull, piercing his neck, and stabbing his heart and back.
It’s literally a claymore that explodes from the sky.
But what’s better than Cremoa?
“You son, you’ve been hiding some incredible fraud skills.”
Woof.
The moment Lee Han met the needle, he felt his body become comfortable.
Although it is a little bit, my physical strength and injuries have recovered.
I thought it might be a buff effect.
Death to the enemy, buff to the ally.
Where can you find such fraudulent skills?
of course.
‘It’s not without its drawbacks.’
Taechang, who has fallen, feels the guy’s presence.
He must have spread his wings and put forth all his strength.
It was a skill that was only used once and then finished, but it couldn’t help but be extremely cost-effective.
‘Not enough.’
The role was sufficient.
What he gave me was time to catch my breath and a moment of relaxation.
Help that came like a drop of rain in a drought amidst the chaos of breathlessness.
I was extremely satisfied.
But what I like even more is…
[[━━]]
“It’s annoying, but what should I do?”
[[??]]
“It seems like there’s one more step left?”
Swish!
As soon as Lee Han finished speaking, the water in the lake gushed out.
The water surges high as if the snake has finished its training and is about to ascend to heaven.
Even I wouldn’t be able to handle it if I were caught in that current.
The current was so threatening and overwhelming.
“Our instructor, don’t bully me!”
Irene Windler.
A talent of the highest tier this generation, and in fact worth more than Roen.
A girl with the talent to become the greatest sorceress of the century unleashed her magic.
“[Be angry, O water, turn, O water, pierce my enemies, O current, be the bars and judge].”
Water magic that unleashes enormous magical power.
However, the ghost girl who haunts Irene Windler is susceptible to this powerful magic.
[Blow, wind, become one with the water, become a guillotine that pierces the enemy.]
Wheeeeeeing!
Combines the magic of extra-large winds.
Double window.
Not only does it have two attributes, but it is possible because there is help from a ghost who watches over the girl.
A miraculous moment when an individual uses two attributes simultaneously.
“Oh, that’s ridiculous.”
Irene’s magic was so absurd that Odwall screamed.
In the eyes of other magicians, it must be a talent beyond recognition and a mystery.
And that disastrous magic.
“good!”
She turned to the monster that had been tormenting the girl’s loved one.
What was created was a small [waterspout]
However, even though it was small, a dragonfly was a dragonfly, and the moment that dragonfly covered the Demon King.
Kwaaaaang!!
The ghost king was silent.
“… The chick next door, now I see that it wasn’t a chick, but a phoenix chick.”
Lee Han let out a sigh of admiration.
As if he had never expected that he would receive such great help from a conjurer.
Although the unconscious order-seeker’s hate speech came out, Lee Han was truly grateful at this moment.
Because I was able to gain some more time thanks to the girl who worked hard for me.
And make use of this precious time.
‘The kids are working hard, but they’re losing their shape.’
He decided to take out the ‘secret move’ he had prepared.
* * *
-A small dragonfly engulfs the ghost king.
The massive mass and flow of water compressed by magical power is something that no living thing can resist.
In reality, the Ghost King was unable to move due to magic and was locked in a narrow prison cell, as if he was being tortured with water.
[[—–.]]
The rotating water bars not only held the demon king captive, but also wounded him with their powerful rotational force, seemingly destroying his body completely.
Mixer.
That’s nothing more than a mixer made of water.
Once you are caught, you can never escape, and that is until your entire body is torn apart… .
That is, death cannot be the only escape, and it is a powerful, overwhelming force that cannot be considered as being unleashed by an individual.
But the problem is… .
[Arin, try a little harder!]
“Eww!”
No matter what, it was extremely difficult to sustain this level of magic.
Irene’s whole body was already shaking and she was on the verge of fainting.
If I hadn’t been forced to do physical training after meeting Lee Han, I wouldn’t have been able to hold out any longer and would have collapsed on the spot.
[As expected, physical strength is national power!]
‘That’s what I have to say in this situation!’
Irene felt like she was going crazy at any moment.
What the heck!? How on earth was the instructor fighting this monster!
‘Are you crazy! This is a real monster!?’
The resistance is extraordinary.
No, resistance is resistance, but that monster.
Kwaaaaah!
I was trying to go against the dragon’s rise.
Boom! Kwung!
What if the body is torn apart?
Even if the body is crushed, it will be over if it regenerates, and even if the water is heavy, it will be over if you break through it with strength.
That’s it.
A guy who solves most of the world’s impossible problems not with his head, but with his overly powerful body!
One step at a time.
Like in a horror movie, the bastard was coming out of the waterspout and trying to pounce on her.
As if he was going to repay what he had suffered.
“I, I’m dying!”
[Arin-?!]
Irene reached her limit and rolled her eyes.
No more… .
Bam.
“Thank you for your hard work.”
“… Instructor?”
“Thank you, and I will repay this debt later.”
“… … .”
Irene looked at him, forgetting her fatigue.
I felt relieved when he expressed his gratitude and encouragement.
It’s a feeling of relief that I can just pass out like this.
So.
“You have to buy me an expensive meal later….”
“I promise.”
“Well, I really need to eat something expensive….”
lol.
The girl fell down like that, laughing heartily.
Looking straight into his confident eyes.
dump….
Lee Han slowly put the girl down, accepting her as she was not as light as a feather, but still felt almost weightless.
It can’t help but be a somewhat gentlemanly attitude.
However, the two sharp eyes were still fixed on the ghost king.
Grrrrr!
I see one coming through the weakened dragonfly, accompanied by the sound of a blackboard being scratched.
It is the power to understand why we are treated as a living natural disaster.
“Admit it. You are strong.”
Lee Han has used countless means to get to where he is today.
A gun carrying explosives.
Large harpoon.
With the help of unexpected skills and even the help of a wizard.
…even after using all these means, the bastard still didn’t die.
I admit it.
That guy was strong and not a monster that someone as weak as himself could defeat.
but.
“I will subdue you.”
You may not be able to kill them, but you can subdue them.
This may sound like a ridiculous statement, but he never lied.
Two, two-wook.
Lee Han’s body rotated slowly.
A swaying gesture.
My face was languid and my whole body was devoid of strength.
A completely helpless swordsmanship, completely different from the spirited appearance he had shown so far.
‘This is enough for now.’
But at that moment, his eyes were clearer and his concentration sharper than ever.
The day before, Lee Han had been swinging his pickaxe tirelessly in the quarry, and the only realization he had was this:
‘Strength’ is not something that can only be obtained by applying force.
It’s a paradoxical statement, and you might think it’s nonsense.
However, what he realized was that power did not necessarily mean something that the physical body possessed.
‘Power is everywhere.’
There is power in the rotating air currents and the blowing wind, and there is power in the sounds of songs and instruments.
The same goes for pickaxing.
The pickaxe swing he had made ‘back then’ was the weakest pickaxe swing he had made in Lee Han’s life.
But the pickaxe cut through the rock like a sharp knife.
It’s not broken, it’s cut.
A skill that could be accomplished by consuming all the strength of the pickaxe itself and the iron at once.
It’s not something as grand as the Shingeom Ilhap.
I just felt like I knew.
The weapon I have is actually a sharper and more powerful weapon.
And that realization.
Hwarak!
Formed a sword energy.
Blacksmith.
A new era of speculation seen by Roen.
However, while the swordsmanship that Roen had shown was coercive, and was a swordsmanship that was forcibly created by combining various factors and innate talent, Lee Han’s swordsmanship was not like that.
The sword simply unleashed the potential of a lump of iron.
Although the principle was similar, the sword had a deeper understanding, so it responded to its master’s will and the sword energy rippled with light, and finally-.
Wow!
─The flowers are in full bloom.
[[???]]
The ghost king, who barely escaped the dragon’s rise, was once again struck by an optical illusion.
What is this?
[[…flower?]]
Yes, it was a flower.
It’s completely different from the flower-shaped needles I just mentioned… .
It was a flower in the true sense of the word.
However, it is not a flower suitable for blooming in this season.
It is like the flower petals of a fruit that bloom profusely on a spring day and then disappear.
… the moment of blooming that goes against the seasons and makes you wonder if the magician has once again worked his magic.
And the bloomed petals are like.
“-I can’t do the Six Combination Sword Techniques, but I can make plum blossoms bloom. It’s amazing.”
okay.
The flower resembled plum blossoms in spring.
* * *
[[… … .]]
The Ghost King didn’t even think about avoiding the black aura that resembled a flower petal.
The black sword that bloomed so beautifully had a dazzling quality that even the king of demons was captivated by its gaze.
beautiful.
It was just a flower that had bloomed with black energy, but those who saw it felt strange and mysterious.
None of the guys who attacked me a thousand years ago showed me anything like that.
So the ghost king was fascinated by the plum blossoms that bloomed out of season for the approaching summer, and so he remained.
Sigh.
[[?]]
I had to blankly watch as the petals pierced my flesh and entered inside.
“It won’t be weak.”
He muttered with a haggard face.
As if this time I’ve used up everything.
Pass… .
The black sword that had been burning with black energy lost its life and turned into dust and scattered.
Either way, there was a price to pay, and it was a job well done for the Black Master.
Likewise, when it comes to blooming flowers, he doesn’t even have the energy to lift a finger.
Because that was the kind of technology it was.
But he looked satisfied.
“It’s a pretty good piece, isn’t it?”
Phew!
Phew!
Phew-!
The work I created,
I watched the flower petals dig into the body of the ghost king.
[[!!!!!]]
The body of the demon king flipped over.
Kuung, he rolls on the floor with a scream, along with a loud thud.
Until now, he had never reacted so dramatically to any attack, but now he was helpless.
Because the petals of the black azalea minutely dug into the skin and penetrated every corner of the body.
It involves moving around the organ, stabbing, cutting, and digging repeatedly.
It would be difficult for any living creature with a sense of pain to endure that.
Army, you must be going through hell right now.
“I told you, I’ll subdue you.”
As expected, you can’t kill someone with that.
Because that regenerative power is beyond foul play, it’s nothing short of mysterious.
But as much as it has regenerative power, it will hurt.
I learned the pain of having a blade constantly moving inside me when I was tortured by a wizard as a child.
After being treated like that, I’m so exhausted that I don’t even want to get up.
… Well, unfortunately.
[[You… You… This… Alcohol]]
Kuung…!
But common sense didn’t seem to apply to him.
It was the ghost king who stood up, and Lee Han smiled bitterly.
They say he’s immortal, but does his stamina even seem infinite?
‘I was completely out of stamina after being hit, but anyway, you damn monster… .’
I’m getting sick of it.
Persistence is what makes cockroaches go away.
“… … I lost, you punk.”
Lee Han meekly admitted defeat.
That guy was a creature that couldn’t be defeated in his current form before he became a monster.
Transcendent creatures, monsters.
Natural disaster, demon lord.
All of these could not but be reasonable monsters, and that would have led to the destruction of the ancient kingdom.
Boohoo, boohoo!
[[Death… is coming!!]]
It was a demon king coming to eat him with intense emotions, and Lee Han, unable to move a single hand, leaned against a tree and looked at the bastard.
Fortunately, he didn’t touch Irene or Derek, who were nearby, or the fish in the lake, and focused only on him.
“…Do you want to eat me that much?”
[[Grrr!!!]]
Her eyes were bloodshot and she asked, “What are you going to say?” and Lee Han snickered.
Anyway, he said he is popular with strange people.
He shrugged.
“Eating something like that won’t even fill you up, right?”
[[Death… Person… .]]
“I think he’s heard the word ‘kill’ so many times that he’s learned it. What do you think, old man?”
[[… … ?]]
… It was only for a split second that I realized something was strange.
Who is that little creature talking to?
When such questions arise.
“-You’ve created another bizarre technique. But it’s pretty good. Once it’s finished, I won’t have an easy time dealing with it, hehe.”
… … Since when has this been happening?
“Isn’t it too late?”
“I’m sorry, but I can’t just leave the castle alone.”
“Oh my. People are all meant to die.”
“I trusted you.”
“Damn! You talk so well.”
“Haha! Even though I told you the truth, you still wouldn’t believe me. Oh, how unfair.”
The two people were talking peacefully, and the ghost king soon took a backseat.
[[GAA!!]]
The demon king roared in anger.
Are you ignoring the surveillance itself?
But he paid no attention to the King’s anger.
“How dull of a bastard! Why are you so foolish when your life is already over?”
… … I tried to move forward, but the demon king had no legs.
Sunggeong-!
No, it was ‘cut off’.
Separated legs.
But it wasn’t just the legs that were separated.
Crunch! Crunch-!
[[G… … r… !]]
The neck was also falling off.
The Ghost King glared, still not understanding what had happened to him.
It’s not that he can’t even close his eyes because he’s so wronged, he just doesn’t realize that he’s been hurt yet.
The Ghost King is…!
[[[—–.]]]
Before he could even utter a single word, the vitality in his eyes began to fade.
So vain… .
“…Why does everyone call me a monster?”
That gentleman in front of you is truly a monster.
Lee Han was disgusted by his skill without even seeing when he swung his sword.
The demon king was torn to pieces and was shaking his head.
It seems that it will be a long, long time before we can defeat that human.
Baltar Grace.
The strongest knight and superman in the kingdom.
The Demon King’s only blunder was that he appeared in an era when aura users did not exist in the ancient kingdom a thousand years ago.
Vain but overwhelming.
It was the conclusion of the monster raid.
