Chapter 322
Sarkegar joined the battlefield and transformed into one of the paladins. He then stabbed him in the back, pretending to join Le Verrier Ranche.
It pierced the heart right from the back.
It is fatal.
But I saw an even more horrifying sight to follow.
“nice… … Suck!”
-Kukwang!
As soon as Lebarrier Ranche understood the situation, he threw back Sarkegar, who had pierced his heart with divine power. Sarke Gar, who had a worse match for his divine power than me, bounced off from a distance and slowly raised himself while spitting.
He puts his hand to his heart, which is roaring with red blood.
– Woo woo woo
The wound heals.
The heart that should have been smashed must have been regenerated, and even though the blood was flowing down its mouth, Leverier Ranche was coming back alive.
“crazy… … . Are you still human?”
“Demon King. What are you talking about?”
Leverier Ranze, with a contemptuous expression, wiped his mouth, spewing out handfuls of red blood.
“This is human.”
Recovering his broken heart and preparing to fight once again, Leverrier Ranche looks at me and says so.
“God accepts my faith and makes the impossible possible. This is something only humans can do. It is possible because the Lord of the Five Greats loves humans.”
Lebarrier Ranche seemed to think that divine power was a privilege only for humans.
“So, recovering the holy relic from a blasphemous being like you as soon as possible is my mission and my job. And, it must be a way to repay God’s love.”
Lebarrier Ranche’s fanaticism was different from Radia’s.
Radia Schmidt’s fanaticism was fierce, but Leberier Ranche’s fanaticism was refined madness.
A cold fanaticism that is well carved and forged, so there is no excitement, no nervousness, no anger. Lebarrier Ranche sees Sarkegar disguised as a paladin who was swept away by the torrent of divine power and has now risen again.
“It’s an existence that wears the skin of another being, so you have a really lowly subordinate.”
“… … .”
I thought that Lebarrier Ranche’s strength would be unusual.
But I didn’t even think it would be like this. Even if the heart is pierced, it is restored. That is a creature that cannot be killed unless it is decapitated.
Now, it is questionable whether it is even possible for that thing to run out of stamina amidst the thunderstorms.
Shouldn’t this be enough for me and Sarkegar to join Loyar as well? Is there still a possibility?
Cruelty of the Paladins.
I was realizing it in the least knowing way.
He strengthens his body, protects himself with protection, puts divine power into his sword and shoots it, and even revives from injuries that should lead to death.
If that’s not a zombie, what the hell is a zombie?
Not all Paladins are like this, but Lebarrier Ranche was the pinnacle of Paladins that met all the conditions mentioned above.
Lebarrier Ranche comes out again and starts attacking Sarkegar.
-thud! Kwak! Kwa Kwa Kang!
“Great!”
The monster is me and Sarkegar.
As if we were at a loss for what to do with the violence of a raging monster, we were only in a hurry to avoid the fierce attack.
-Chack!
Perhaps knowing that Sarkegar’s attack could pierce his own defense, Leverrier Ranche refused to allow the attack.
The black blade that Sarkegar made by transforming a part of his body could pierce the Lebarrier Ranche’s defenses.
However, even if the attack succeeded somehow, nothing changed.
– Ugh!
It never tolerates fatal wounds, and even if it is wounded, it quickly recovers.
How far the end of that bastard’s divine power could not even be measured.
There was only a long-term battle, and it was unknown whether I could survive Lebarrier Ranche’s attack until the long-term battle.
“Lowering! You should also keep in mind avoiding yourself!”
Sarkegar’s cry caught my ear.
okay.
You can end the mess and retreat. I know it’s definitely time to consider that.
I succeeded in rescuing Olivia and Adriana Geuk, and I did this in Valier’s name.
But as a result, Adriana and Olivia are in danger again.
As a result, there will surely be those who doubt that the demons saved Adriana and Olivia. The two of them don’t know anything, but in people’s misunderstanding and suspicion, the worst outcome could come out.
Or, Leberier Ranche might turn a blind eye to this fact and try to have Olivia run wild again.
If I can’t kill Leberier Ranche in this spot, what I did today will be worse than not doing it.
“No, whether he dies or I die, one of them has to die today.”
so.
don’t back down
“Do you think there will be a chance of winning? Devil.”
Lebarrier Ranze looks at me with a cautious look.
“okay. i won’t die here I will kill you, and I will survive.”
“On what basis are you sure of that?”
Just like the fanaticism of Lebarrier Ranche.
I have such fanaticism.
“It’s just like that. this world.”
A miracle that only happens to me at any time will happen again this time.
Of course.
self suggestive?
What age?
I don’t know about that.
It’s just that this is true regardless of whether you believe it or not.
My second life is a punishment.
There’s no way that the punishment given to me would be to be killed by Lebarrier Ranche in this spot.
more.
A bigger punishment will be given.
There will be some more I will have to endure.
There will be more sadness and pain I have to go through.
If I die just because of something like this, if a miracle doesn’t happen.
I will be disappointed that the punishment given to me is only this.
“There are too many things prepared for me for me to die.”
They won’t kill me until I taste them all.
Even if it could cause me to collapse, be trampled on, go mad, or die in all of it.
Even if you can break through all of that and achieve happiness.
That’s not the place yet.
“Even if the Lord of the Five Greats descends on this place and tries to kill me, I will not die. Leberier Ranche.”
This is neither a belief nor a suggestion, it is simply a fact. With that level of confidence, Leverier Ranche’s eyes glowed with a different light than before.
“Your disrespect has gone too far, Demon King.”
aversion.
A fanatic faces another fanatic and feels disgust. He feels what I feel for him now.
I won’t die until then because the prepared board hasn’t opened yet.
I won’t be able to force sadness on Olivia any more.
I won’t let Olivia go back to a life where she can’t even wonder what it is to be herself, with the bridle of being a saint.
To Adriana and to Olivia.
I will truly lift it up from the pit of God, faith, and faith.
Every place where humans live, every area where humans exist is a gutter for their own reasons.
To learn that it’s not just the gutter.
I will set them both free.
I will make it possible for you to live a life of thinking and choosing, a life of choosing at the end of your own agony, rather than adapting to and succumbing to what is forced upon you.
Adriana, Olivia.
I decided to give them freedom in the true sense of the word.
“I am.”
“you.”
“kill.”
I make a more terrifying promise than any I have ever made.
Lebarrier Ranche corrected his sword at my words.
You don’t say things like that’s possible.
He seemed to sense that something had changed in my appearance.
Happen again this time.
miracle.
come to me
Don’t you still want a lot from me?
Because I have a lot of things to go through.
Are you sending me up to drop me?
Because it hasn’t gone up yet.
A miracle at a level where I can take the life of Lebarrier Ranche, an enemy I can never resist at this level.
want.
Get ready for a miracle.
anger.
In order to burn the fuel called anger and generate a result called a miracle.
I must be angry.
My willingness was always supported to go beyond practical limits.
Leberier Ranche hates me. As if he didn’t want to even talk anymore, he prepared to attack once more.
“Die the Demon King!”
– Cards!
A shockwave that distorts the earth exploded with Lebarrier Ranche’s swordplay. I barely avoided a direct hit, but had to roll several times on the ground. Sarkegar was also fighting hard, but only gave minor scratches, and the iron wall named Lebarrier Ranche was strong.
Even if it collapses, it is an iron wall that builds up again.
The blue and white light begins to focus on his sword.
Explosive ejection of magic and divine power. As Saviolin Tana showed, wizards aren’t the only ones capable of wide-area attacks. They would beat me to death in one shot and try to leave the area.
He prepares a big room.
Tiamata is said to be the source of my divine power, but I cannot draw the divine power from within myself.
Only under limited conditions can I use Tiamata’s power.
The Paladin of Tuan, Leverrier Ranche.
Tiamata, the holy relic of Tuan.
After all, it’s about using the same kind of power, and I’m pushed from it.
If you ask me, it’s the opposite. So, as long as I use the same type of power, I have no choice but to lose in the output fight.
Whether he is a corrupt priest or a mad fanatic, his time and experience cannot be faked.
“Gone with the light.”
Such is the war hero who returned with victory in the Great War of the Pandemonium.
You have to go beyond the time that he has built up, which can only be real.
He’s a madman who won’t die unless it’s fatal to the level of killing his head.
Then, in the end, I must rely on my own strength.
anger.
and.
Belief and Word.
And the fate that will be given to me.
It hasn’t come yet, so I won’t die.
A miracle to kill this monster.
I know what it is.
I hold Tiamata with both hands as I face the one preparing for the Iahab.
Although it is impossible to apply power while holding it.
say
With will and anger.
“Tiamata.”
The moment he struck down the sword, the storm of divine power with physical power was about to swallow me.
Heading towards Tiamata, which emits boiling divine power in all directions.
command
“Become a demonic sword.”
-Kureung!
“!”
The white light that simmered in Tiamata became darkness that burned the light.
To kill a monster that regenerates infinitely with Tuan’s power, of course.
so plainly
It needs the power to be the opposite.
-Kurrureung!
It doesn’t end with burning. In the waves of light pouring down on me, I pierce through the waves, wrapped in darkness.
“You bastard… … ! What have you done to Tiamata!”
I jumped towards Lebarrier Ranche’s cry of astonishment.
I was right.
With the same strength, he couldn’t defeat Leberier Ranche. So, summon the opposite power and break through with the opposite power.
If it’s the opposite power, you can break through the defense like that guy’s iron armor and cut off his breath.
It’s just one chance.
He stops breathing before he understands the situation.
As I pierce through the rushing light.
Surrounded by darkness that light can’t invade, I arrived at once in front of the astonished Lebarrier Ranche.
In just one moment, life and death are twisted. I know that history is reversed.
The difference between life and death is, after all, only a moment.
Elaboration.
[Uses 1,000 achievement points.]
and.
Wrapped in the power of the Demon God, I put my greatsword back in response and shout at Lebarrier Ranche who was about to stab me.
language.
“Stop!”
“Quit! this… … . This… … !”
one step.
span.
Life and death are divided even by such a small difference.
I headed towards Lebarrier Ranche, whose movements were momentarily blocked by my commandments.
– Fu-wook!
“nice… … omg!”
I succeeded in stabbing the demon sword Tiamata into his heart.
* * *
Tiamata was converted into a demonic sword.
That was the miracle I hoped for.
Then, by using the elaboration to strengthen the power of the spirit of the word, at the decisive moment, the movement of Lebarrier Ranche was blocked.
As a result.
Leberier Ranche was mortally wounded.
This time it was truly fatal.
“Kuh, kuh… … . Whoops!”
He grabbed hold of the demonic sword Tiamata, which had been thrust into his heart, but all he could do was vomit blood.
Paladins were already weakening over time. Those who reached the limit of even holding out began to run away when they saw Le Barrier Ranche on his knees with his heart pierced.
He must have thought that it would be better to survive and tell the story rather than continuing a losing battle for a long time.
“nice… … . Keugh… … . Kuk… … .”
“You’re tough.”
Even after his heart was pierced by the demonic sword, Lebarrier Ranche did not die easily.
Looking at the white light all over his body, it was clear that he was holding on to the string as much as possible with his divine power.
Even if the power of the opposite is properly hit, you can still use the power of Tuan, albeit weakly.
I didn’t expect him to be such a monster.
“uh… … how… … . crab… … . tea… … . Tiamata… … go… … .”
However, even fighting the demonic power that erodes the whole body would already be the limit.
Although they originated from the same existence, they have opposite powers.
Even though Lebarrier Ranche could survive Sarkegar’s attack, he couldn’t overcome the unclean power flowing through the demonic sword Tiamata.
However, they are only living uglyly with the power they desperately squeezed out.
Kneeling in front of me, I was just staring at Leverrier Ranche, who tried to pull out the demonic sword stuck in his heart, but couldn’t even move a single finger.
As I watched the end of such Lebarrier Ranche, a royal in the form of a lycanthrope approached me.
“Lowering. We will track down the paladins who escaped.”
“good. Go with Sarkegar.”
Sarkegar was also quite astonished because he saw me fighting while changing the holy sword into a demonic sword, but he did not forget what he had to do right now.
“Don’t miss a single one. No one should know that I was carrying Tiamata.”
“yes.”
“Yes, lower.”
To be precise, Olivia shouldn’t look at the demon lord holding the holy sword. Sarkegar must have put Olivia down on her own. There is no possibility that Olivia saw this scene.
“You guys… … . who is… … .”
Lebarrier Ranze muttered quietly, bleeding from the corner of his mouth.
“Devil.”
“Why me… … . no… … . why us… … . Did you attack… … . you guys… … . Why Olivia… … .”
It was only when he was on the verge of death that Leverier Ranche seemed to have doubts.
Why did someone who claimed to be the Demon King save Olivia and Adriana? What the hell are you talking about Miss Temple.
He speaks in a dying voice.
“Cooperation… … let’s do it… … . Demon King… … .”
“… … what?”
Leberier Ranche spoke quietly with a dying voice.
“you… … . Wanting to rebuild the Demon Realm… … . is not it… … . then… … . The division of the empire is to you… … . It will help… … . If we cooperate… … . common purpose… … . to you too… … . It will be an offer you can’t refuse… … .”
I couldn’t help but be dumbfounded by those words.
“If you were going to say something like that, you should have done it right away.”
To think of a pathetic compromise only with death on the verge of death.
“So, it’s like you’re begging for your life.”
“To you too… … . I will need… … .”
If he had said this soberly, it would have seemed like fanaticism to betray humans for the kingdom of God.
However, now that his life was on the verge, the words Lebarrier Ranze said were nothing more than a struggle.
He is now, in the face of a crisis of despair, no different from giving up everything.
“Because life is so precious, it is not chaste in that it begs the enemy for its life.”
“It’s not that I don’t choose means and methods for the purpose, but seeing that the means and methods change depending on the situation, my intentions aren’t pure.”
“Leverrier Ranche, you are disqualified in too many ways to serve Tuan.”
At my words, Leverrier Ranze stares at me with dying eyes.
“You bastard… … . Seriously, is it possible to become the champion of Tuan… … .”
“Then, do you think no?”
Leberier Ranche looks up at me with difficulty.
He looks into my eyes silently.
“that… … go… … .”
As if he were trying to find something he had lost in my eyes.
“okay… … . The champion of Tuan is the bond… … . He was the one who punished people.”
Tuan’s champion.
They were originally human hunters, not demons or undead.
They have been in charge of killing corrupt warlocks and demonists for generations, and the last Tuan champion before me was also killed fighting the demonists.
Tuan’s champion is not a demon or the undead, but one who kills humans.
“The fact that the Demon King is the champion of Tuan… … . actually… … . Maybe not so strange… … . I don’t know… … .”
he looks up at me
It was only on the verge of death that he accepted that I was Tuan’s champion.
Did you understand everything because of your own defeat? Does he regard his defeat as Tuan’s will?
God is right.
So, I am facing death because God abandoned me.
So, I was wrong.
His fanaticism was steadfast even in the face of death.
Even Tiamata, who had turned into a demon sword, seemed to have no choice but to accept it in the face of death.
If Tuan was truly on his side, he wouldn’t have been defeated.
Above all the doubts he had of me, he finally had to admit that I was the champion of Tuan.
I pulled out the tiamata stuck in his heart and pointed it at the neck of the kneeling Leverrier Ranche.
the guy says
“I believed I was pure.”
It seemed like a protest, but it was not a protest.
Nothing else, it was the champion of Tuan holding Tiamata who came to kill the paladin who served the god of purity.
That’s why he believed himself to be pure, leaving the last excuse.
He could have been really innocent.
You may have believed that the justice you believe in is really the right way.
That is why he leaves an excuse as his last will.
-Suddenly!
I slashed the tiamata from top to bottom, completely cutting off Lebarrier Ranche’s breath.
The fallen priest’s life was taken by the fallen holy relic.
In the end, Lebarrier Ranche fell twice to the same person.
I was standing in a daze in a waste abbey that had become ruins.
It was a place where there was an uproar where the heavens and the earth vibrated.
But now there were only scorched ruins, billowing smoke, and pale winter moonlight illuminating the world.
I look up at the sky in a daze, ignoring the corpse of the previous head of the Temple Knights who lost his head and his weakly rolling head.
In the end, I didn’t get to where I had to go.
What should I say?
Again, if you say that you couldn’t be there because of something unavoidable that you couldn’t tell.
What would Ellen say?
No, do I have the right to say such a thing now?
In order to prevent the division of the empire, he planned and succeeded in an ignorant task of annihilating the former commander of the Knights Templar and the secret religious association.
I’m thinking about what excuse to make to Ellen.
This situation should be funny, but it didn’t feel funny at all.
“… … .”
A message appeared in front of my eyes as I stood under the winter night.
[Achieving Special Achievement – Inflection Point in History]
[The death of the main character (Lebarrier Ranche) who should have existed in the original world line has been confirmed.]
An inflection point in history caused by killing someone.
that was the first time
[Acquired the ‘Apostle’ characteristic as a reward for achieving a special achievement.]
Attribute: Apostle
Description: You have become the true master of Tiamata.
Although it was simple.
I thought I knew what this meant.
Tiamata as a demon sword, Tiamata as a holy sword.
I became the first true Tuan champion in history to be able to handle both.
* * *
midnight.
A thunderous cheer erupted from the Miss & Mr. Temple contest venue, which was still full of heat.
The long, long contest has come to an end, and now only the announcement of the winners remains.
From the ceiling of the auditorium, glittering pollen was flying profusely.
Olivia Ranze, who was mentioned as a strong candidate for the championship, did not participate.
The reason for not attending is unknown.
– This year’s Miss Temple is a Royal Class 1st grader! It’s Miss Ellen!
However, Ellen was elected the glorious Miss Temple of the Year, beating all the other prominent candidates.
Amidst the applause and cheers of the people, a wreath and a bouquet of flowers were handed to Ellen, who was wearing a white dress.
The Royal Class classmates were also clapping and congratulating Ellen.
However, Ellen’s expression hardened after winning this honorable position. Ellen held up a gorgeous garland and bouquet signifying a winner, and she just stared blankly down at her.
Ellen, who needed only one vote, received a lot of votes.
Most of the votes except for that one vote.
A lot of people have chosen you.
Ellen couldn’t shake the feeling that the world had abandoned her.
