Episode 178
Doom Prime.
He’s a strange guy who shows a fanatical obsession when it comes to being seen by King Yeom… … .
Sword, magic.
They are fearsome talents who have surpassed 6 stars and 6 classes, respectively.
At least this guy I knew was a great ‘magic sword’ who worked hard and didn’t do anything based on superior talent.
It was ‘Sa’.
however.
“What’s wrong with your eyes?”
Scattering musty eye glow.
It feels familiar, yet somehow unfamiliar.
Simply, it was somewhat foreign to call him a Warlock who had mastered black magic.
Rather, I felt closer to a ‘demon’ rather than a human.
‘But these days, proper demons
‘Was it there?’
A long time ago, the great war against the demons who invaded the continent was a human victory.
After the war ended, demons disappeared from all over the Continent of Frelia.
The poetry of ‘Malerok’, the leader of the demons, was split into dozens of pieces and turned into artifacts.
After that, lower-level demons such as the 9th-level demon Helkin appeared occasionally.
These people are more like ‘goblins’ than demons.
It was close to the level.
The ‘real’ demons, who are listed as ‘terror’ in history books, have completely disappeared.
So, I couldn’t be sure either.
Because I’ve never seen a ‘real’ demon.
but.
“… … “What on earth happened to you?”
What is the meaning of this sense of incongruity, of not feeling like I am human at all?
I read it in the academy library
It reminded me of a passage from 『The Battle of Man and Demon』.
[They are everywhere and nowhere.]
This one sentence, which was nothing special, was the essence of the race called ‘demon’, armed with lies and deception from birth.
I was able to understand at a glance a story that seemed like an illusion that only existed in books.
okay.
Seok-eun… … .
It was a precious material that could occasionally be obtained by killing high-level or higher demons.
Nowadays, it is difficult to even see demons, so it is one of the items that has disappeared from history.
According to records written at the time of the Great War between Humans and Demons, it was strictly forbidden for humans to possess the Demon Spirit Stone because they would be ‘turned into demons’… … .
《The Jealous Man’s Nobleman》
Doom Prime is no more… … .
“Doom Prime”
《Level 4 Magic Stone Holder》
《The Jealous Man’s Nobleman》
《Half Man, Half Demon》
This was not the person I knew.
Ma Young-seok.
A vessel containing the soul of a demon.
This demon spirit is said to be the source of demons and is also a key material for making demon swords.
Doom Prime, I don’t know where he got it from, was injected into the circle by someone with a level 4 magic stone.
He became half-human and half-horse.
One reasonable doubt here.
“The jealous one. Is this King Yeom? “Are you his descendant?”
“And taking that name in vain…” …
“So does that mean the Flame King is a demon? Or, are you saying that you are a human who serves demons? Either way, there is no one in the world who can trust it.”
“Shut up! In the end, to him, the real ‘my
“It is I, not you, who is recognized as ‘the one’.”
“••••••what?”
‘Him’, ‘true disciple’
Of course, this is about Flame King Theron.
To even talk about ‘disciple’ in this situation…
Have I really gone crazy?
But there was no further leak about this.
Look!
Doom Prime’s black sword hit my neck right in the face
This is because they came in aiming for.
“young master!”
Before I could react, Lord Bolvar lunged first.
Kang!
In a momentary movement reminiscent of a warrior, he struck down Doom Prime’s sword with the small sword he wore at his waist.
Because it was a banquet hall, he did not have the ‘spear’, Sir Bolvar’s main weapon, but it was clear that even Lord Bolvar with a short sword would not be able to do anything with Doom Prime’s skills, which were at the 6-star level.
Yes, it definitely had to be that way.
But surprisingly, it was Doom Prime who led the attack.
“one two.”
“three.”
Cheesy!
Lightning bolt ejected from the magic sword.
The magic used simultaneously with swordsmanship, which could be said to be his specialty, had a destructive power that could not be said to be at a ‘6-star’ level.
“That’s strange. Even though I didn’t lift the spear… …
It was sharp enough to embarrass Sir Bolvar, who had never experienced a magic swordsman before.
Of course, that didn’t mean Lord Bolvar was pushed back.
I needed to warn you.
“This guy is not the 6-star level magic swordsman we know. “Now we are demons.”
“yes. However, as you know, demons are not a very strong race. Because their bodies are not strong, they are weaklings who resort to lies and deception. Called the leader of the demons
Even Malerok was eventually defeated by the 8-star knights of the time.”
In response to this, Doom Prime snorted and said.
“The leader of the demons, Maleroc… … . okay. You probably know that. But do you really think that guy is the leader?”
“… … “What does that mean?”
“Malerok was merely the commander of the 13th Army, the worst of the 13 Legions of the Demon World. In the Demon World, there are 12 legions stronger than Malerok, and at the top, the Demon God is there to protect us.
“You’re looking down.”
” what••••••
13th Legion, Demon God.
It all sounds like an absurd story.
This is because a similar story is not even described in the historical book 「Inma Daejeon」.
But why does it not sound like a simple lie?
That’s because I saw with my own eyes that Doom Prime, now in his half-human, half-horse form, had become incredibly strong.
“Lord Bolvar.”
“Yes, master.”
“It looks like this guy has some business for me, so I will deal with him myself. There will still be more demons disguised as humans inside the banquet hall. “I’d like to ask them for help.”
“… … All right.”
Sir Bolvar retrieved the short sword he was holding and flew in the direction where Ruina was.
I put my fist back under my chin
He spoke to Doom Prime face to face.
“We weren’t friends, but I still can’t believe that someone I once thought of well has degenerated to this level. “It’s a little sad.”
“Corruption? Do you really think it is corruption? “This power?”
Tsutsu!
The new version of Doom Prime came flooding back to me.
An attack method that he used as a habit, gaining casting time based on swordsmanship.
I remember having a hard time during the Great Festival.
But, it doesn’t work twice.
I used ‘Steel Destruction’ by lightly striking the body of the magic sword that Doom Prime was holding with my sword.
Kkaang-!
The sword body was completely shattered into pieces.
If you don’t have a sword to buy casting time… … .
He is also a scarecrow after all.
I said with a grin.
“huh. “That is what we call corruption.”
U | w
My fist spewed fire.
Creep!
Doom Prime’s jaw turned in an instant, his neck snapped and he hit his head on the wall and fell to the ground.
The banquet hall went boom! A loud noise erupted.
A decent 6-star level would have killed him instantly with a single blow, but Doom Prime trembled and returned the rotated jaw to its original position.
Like turning the neck of a toy doll
Very lightly.
“It is said that demons are born with an awakening effect similar to eating Burning Flower. I guess it was all true. “Can’t you feel pain?”
“Kaaaak… … Tsk! It is impossible to even compare it to the weak human body. Perhaps the fastest way is to experience it yourself. “After I kill you, I will plant a magic stone on your corpse.”
“Uhm, I’ll decline that. And there’s one thing you don’t know… … . “Humans are a race stronger than anyone else.”
“For me, there are no limits.”
Bye!
I kicked the fallen guy’s head and stomped on his upper body.
They say demons don’t feel any pain.
“There is an old saying: “For a guy who is not in his right mind, a beating is good.”
Damage is cumulative.
puck! Plop! Pow!
As he plunged his fist into Doom Prime’s jaw, his face was completely crushed and his body became unrecognizable.
It was so messed up that there was nothing to do.
At that moment, I noticed something dark flashing near Doom Prime’s circle.
‘… … Ma Young-seok?’
I was sure that was what made Doom Prime like this.
At the same time, he extended his hand towards Ma Young-seok.
It was then.
《The new skill of spiritual power
It is forbidden.》
《I learned about the skill ‘Soul Obliteration’.》
《**Skill Quest**》
《Soul Obliteration》
《Active Skill》
《Eliminates the false soul lurking in the target.》
《In order to freely use the skill, you must complete 3 quests.》
《Mine’s Soul Obliteration: 0/1》
《Fishman’s Soul Obliteration: 0/1》
《Beast soul annihilation: 0/1>
《When completing the quest, use the skill freely.》
《If you do not complete the quest, the number of attempts will be limited.》
《Reward: Skill, soul annihilation》
Destroys false souls… … .
A new skill that appeared at just the right time.
I use my skills without hesitation, devouring Doom Prime’s circle.
thrust his fist towards Ma Young-seok.
Paang-!
“••••••Ugh!”
As soon as the pure white light emitted from the fist touched the magic stone, it began to shake like crazy.
Sigh, blah blah blah!
The magic stone began to crack, and soon it shattered and disappeared as if fluttering in the air.
At the same time, smoke began to rise from Doom Prime’s body.
“Whoa, whoa… … !”
《Mine’s Soul Obliteration: 1/1 (Completed)》
The cold, pale complexion returned to its original state.
The eye glow that had been painted black gradually began to return to its original state.
He returned to being ‘human’.
But that was all.
“Huh, huh! Lu, Luin… … beautiful
dell
Doom Prime, who felt the ‘pain’ for the first time due to the accumulated damage, was already on the verge of death.
He was panting as if he was going to die at any moment.
I sat down in front of Doom Prime and placed my hand on my forehead.
“Damn it, what is this?”
I didn’t feel guilty when I was a demon, but after turning into a human, complex emotions began to swirl.
Why does Doom Prime, who was once so promising, end up like this?
Why do I have to die like this?
He was shedding tears even as he was dying.
It’s not because I’m sad about dying.
“Yes, King Yeom•••••• Ma, Majin••••••
It’s unfair.
He was betrayed by his faith, and died after being exploited by King Yeom.
Slurp.
I died with my eyes open
Prime’s eyes slowly closed.
There is only one way to repay the guilt I felt for this guy’s death.
“Flame King Theron… …
What is your identity?
For the first time, I embraced life from the great wizard of the border.
