Episode 81: Devil Grand Duke Rakshaar (2)
Rakshaar moves.
That gigantic body put the sea under its knees just by getting out of the depths.
A tsunami was created just by walking, and the sea was agitated.
Fish that come up in a pile on the surface of the open sea. The suffocated fish are swept along with the waves as waves of corpses.
“What, what?”
It was almost the same time that I noticed the strange change.
A wave of terrifying density of magic transmitted from the sea. Even if you exploded dozens of great magics in a row, the air wouldn’t become this heavy.
Not only those who have the system, but all living beings tremble in fear when they notice the evil that has stirred up this world.
Even though it was not visible, everyone noticed its presence.
“What happened! Abrams! Find out now!”
“Ah, I see.”
When Allen, who has a gentlemanly personality, reacts nervously, Abrams, the guild’s archer, hurriedly moves his gaze toward the sandy beach.
far-sighted eyes. With a unique skill called clairvoyance, he looked beyond the sea. and he finds
“What is that… that, that…”
A strange form that can be seen even from far away, even on the island. Looking at the dozens of tentacles, it looks like a cephalopod, but the upper covering the whole body is as sturdy and smooth as a beetle.
However, looking at the decisively vicious head and claws that seemed to cut the island in two, I could only think that it was a demonic castle from another world.
That chaotic anomaly, with no way of knowing how it might have evolved, is a horrifying yet overwhelming, literally gigantic monster.
That met Abrams’ eyes.
‘Eyes met? On this street?’
come. It is looking straight at itself. designated? been targeted? As if staring at prey… … .
[Chaos contamination is granted.]
“Ah, uh…”
The island vibrates at the sound of a huge breath. The pressure of the demon archduke far exceeded the field of view.
Is this really real?
“Ah, ah, hee hee, hee hee…”
“Abrams? What are you doing!”
Allen put his hand on Abrams’ shoulder. But Abrams shakes off his arm with bloodshot eyes.
“I will die. I will die. I will die. I must die!!”
At that moment, Abrams’s bow was pointed at Allen. The moment the string was pulled and was about to be shot, he reflexively swung the spear and slashed both of his arms. It was minimal suppression.
“What, what are you doing…!”
Allen reacted reflexively to Abrams’ sudden action, but was taken aback by his colleague’s runaway.
no one will ever know
Abrams’s intention to kill Allen was born out of pure goodwill.
“It’s over, it’s over… it’s over. It’s over, it’s over—”
“Wake!”
Abrams hit his head on the floor. Like he’s trying to run away from something he’s afraid of. Exercising reason full of chaos.
“Dae, captain… over there…”
It was then. A gigantic presence approaching, closing the distance that could only be seen with the clairvoyant in an instant.
Allen realized the identity through the system window.
“Ah, the devil grand duke? The devil grand duke?!”
A demon of standards never seen before.
The greatest output mankind has ever faced was the Great Devil.
They couldn’t even imagine that there would be a more powerful being than that, so they were shocked by the very appearance of the great evil. Also–
【 Aura of Chaos 】
An overwhelming aura that oppresses existence.
The opposite pressure, completely different from when he carried that aura of blessing under Leon’s command the other day, weighed down the living beings.
Even Leon’s aura had a distance limit. However, Rakshaar’s aura was a terrible pressure that weighed down the entire world.
“Oh, no. You can’t beat that… you can’t beat that.”
Despair fills the Hunters’ eyes. They were trembling so much that they couldn’t even think of running away.
I don’t understand.
Why? Why are these things targeting Earth?
No, there are things like that in the first place, but is the human world still alive… … .
at last.
Until Rakshaar arrives before them.
No one could move a single step.
-Kraaaaa──
I can’t hear anyone breathing. The only sound they could hear was the demon archduke’s breath flowing insidiously across the island.
[Kuu, kuk, kuk——]
I feel like my ears will explode from the roaring sound. However, Rakshaar did not mind and continued his upbringing.
[Submit.]
It was his first ‘conversation of civilization’. at the same time… … .
dump!
and the lowly insignificant creatures kneel.
There was no hesitation. There is no fool who does not know how foolish it is to stand against the irresistible.
I can’t control my trembling teeth, and I can’t stop the trembling limbs and the lower body that seems to be incontinent at any moment.
All that comes to mind is to ask for mercy from the other person through submission.
-Kkakakaka──
Rakshaar is willing to obey the lowly. He was the only one who didn’t kneel to stare at a small creature.
“ah…….”
Hari felt the ‘gaze’.
For such a gigantic being, each ant-like individual should be a denominator beyond recognition, but I felt the gaze sent by it.
[It smells unpleasant.]
Hari wanted to wake up the sleeping god on her shoulder. However, I had a hunch that if I tried that, I would be trampled to death by that huge thing.
-Kukakakaka──!
A loud noise spreads. Living things naturally kneel. I cried and couldn’t resist.
Even the S-class hunters that the Maverick Guild is proud of, even the cadets and soldiers who were taught by the Pantheon.
It was an evil that their courage could not dare to oppose.
however.
Finally, Hariman.
I was able to stand on my own two feet in front of that magnificent being.
She doesn’t know it, but now that Leon is gone, it’s possible because she’s the only priestess blessed by God.
Rakshaar knew this too.
Rakshaar was able to deal with Hari himself. He could be beaten to death with his huge tentacles or bent and swallowed in one bite.
But tasting delicacies is not a priority. Rakshaar’s attention was directed toward a long-standing grudge.
-Kick! Squeak!
Those who dared to seal themselves and kept the shackles for a long time.
Those are the blood you need to receive first.
Rakshaar’s eyes headed for the island where the remaining stone statues were. Just by moving, a tsunami rose and hit the hunters.
* * * *
The hunters who were swept away by the tidal wave barely stood up, spewing out seawater.
Even so, Hari was relieved by the actions of the giant monster who did not pay attention to them.
Whatever it was, they lived. She made that mistake. But then–
[The area is tainted with chaos. All living things are placed in a state of ‘confusion’.]
Did Rakshaar get contaminated just by passing by? For such a simple reason?
“Heh, hee hee… hee ha ha…”
But a familiar laugh came from behind.
The roar of despair, giving up everything, echoes ominously.
“Heh hee hee hee…!
“You have to… die.”
A cacophony chorus of human voices that is horrifying just to hear.
Just like Abrams, who saw Rakshaar for the first time, all living things lost their ability to think after seeing Rakshaar.
chaos.
despair.
scream.
All that remains is instinctive good will, which is—
“Kaaaaagh!”
wield a sword towards a colleague.
-Chack!
They cut, stab, and mutilate each other here and there. It was in an instant that the abyssal war unfolded.
“Everyone, what are you all doing——Ugh?!”
A rushing spear pierced Hari. She manages to block it, but the impact only knocks her back several steps.
Allen Taylor.
Even the S-class hunter, who is said to be the strongest of mankind, went out of his mind after seeing Rakshaar.
The same S-class Hunter Minuteman. In addition, the A-class Maverick attack team moves. A different black aura was rising from them.
【 Blessing of Demon Grand Duke Rakshaar 】
: To all submissives──■■■■■

they are submissive
The pride of being the best hunters in the United States, and the human senses were shattered, and it was realized.
“We… are too weak.”
“It was a misunderstanding. With such petty power… S rank, the best hunter, he was boasting….”
human weakness. Their eyes are full of despair.
An uneasy air flows.
It was an air of abandonment and degradation.
“Oh, no…….”
Harry exclaimed. The fortunate thing is that the members of the pantheon guild are not included in the slaughter of Abi Gyu-hwan.
Is it because he received God’s blessing or because he ate blessed crops in his spare time?
However, trembling and being crushed by Rakshaar’s pressure, he does not dare to move.
Only the Maverick Guild members can move their cowardly legs in return for submitting to Rakshaar.
It is clear what those who can move will do from now on.
Killing each other, helping each other commit suicide, doing the chaotic goodwill you can.
“J-Jug! Jugger——! That’s the right thing to do!!”
Allen lifted the spear.
The moment Hari instinctively raised her sword, the spears were already rushing in.
– Kak!
The weight of the spear transmitted through the sword. The cracks are pushed out along with the scabbard.
“Keugh… Mmm, stop—”
Momentarily, a feeling of pressure was felt in the crown of the head. When I looked up, I saw Minuteman striking down a huge gauntlet.
Minuteman’s fist barely grazed. The shockwave hit the floor and hit Hari.
“Oops?!”
Hari’s light body bounces off. It rolls on the ground and bounces again and again with sand on its face.
“That, stop…!”
When he woke up, Allen’s spears rushed in succession.
He showed the best reaction of his life and avoided Allen’s spear, wondering if he could have done this himself. Her forearm is cut, her thigh is stabbed, and the nape of her neck is grazed.
Hari’s body is in a state of bruises with only a short battle of less than 10 seconds.
“Keep off…!”
Hari, who had received 30 consecutive attacks from Allen, was already bleeding all over her body. He didn’t let go of his sword even though he acted as if he would die any moment.
“Porridge——!”
It was then. An ignorantly large gauntlet that strikes Allen from behind. Minuteman raided Allen.
– Kwaaak! Knock! Quack!
Allen bounces off the floor again and again. Minuteman, who cleared him, aimed for Hari as the next target.
The magical energy that blew Allen away in one blow created a dragon fist wind. The maximum power of an S-class hunter who will die in one blow.
The moment Minuteman’s fist was about to hit Hari in the stomach–
– Boom!
And Hari’s body bounces high into the sky. Gravity pulled her body beneath her surface.
* * * *
Even if the sun shines on the surface of the water, it is an endless abyss as it gets deeper under the surface of the water.
Hari reached out her hand as she watched the dimming light mixed with her own blood.
‘ah… Will I die like this?’
If I knew it would be like this, I would have spent my savings.
Hari was a case of being orphaned for a reason that is common in modern times.
Getting caught up in a dungeon break or attacking a gate——
A typical 21st-century orphan who raised the orphans flooding the streets after the cataclysm in a state-run orphanage.
Even though they weren’t rich, they weren’t lacking, and even though they didn’t want private education, they had the talent and received sufficient education.
What she dreams of is a righteous hunter.
The principal of the orphanage told all the children, as usual, that their parents died while saving the world.
There must have been countless other cases, but the director wanted Hari to be proud. She wanted her children to be proud of her own parents, who did not know her face.
Even if it was a false story, Hari did not lose her goal of becoming a good hunter.
Because she was such a woman, the 10 guild’s boldness to defend the country and protect its citizens naturally became disillusioned when they realized that their priority was money.
So I refused.
He refused the huge salary offered by the 10th guild and entered the Hunter Association.
The Hunter Association thought that at least they could fight to protect people.
However, even after becoming an employee of the association, there was not much she could do.
Always lacking power, guilds who couldn’t close the gate. Abuse by being a public servant.
Obviously, the Hunter Association is fighting a better fight than the guilds. You are doing something more worthwhile.
But that’s it.
can’t move forward at all.
As it was 30 years ago, as it is now, it will be the same 30 years from now.
In the end, all Hari can do is adapt to the reality and become a lazy civil servant looking at the pension, just like any other civil servant.
“I am the Lion Heart King. He is the king of the glorious knights and carries out the will of the pantheon. It is Leon Dragonia Lionheart.”
When I first saw him, I thought he was crazy.
Authoritarian, superstitious, discriminatory, arrogant, ignorant, and mad.
It is by no means suitable for the 21st century. It was no exaggeration to say that it was savage.
But he had a will. He had the will, the conviction, and the power to do it.
Inadvertently, I wondered if that person could change the world. So when she was chosen as the priestess of the god of the sea and waves, I was happy inside.
‘Damn it… damn… !’
But why
Why are you so helpless?
Unlike the Lion Heart King, who can become hope only by her existence, she is not even the toe of the knight Sir Geobrick, let alone the Lion Heart King.
Would it be a little different if it was a yakt spinner?
“Come on, let’s go. my brothers and sisters Today we die for justice. The gods will protect us.”
Like the one who willingly chose death and ignited the final flame.
Even this kind of person, at the last moment, is a fire–
‘right. The fire goes out immediately… … .’
damn god! A Horny God That Doesn’t Help!
No matter how much I stretch out my arms, all I can get is a handful of water. A meaningless action that even scatters them. All she can do is reach out her hand as if she were struggling, and even that is meaninglessly scattered.
‘Anything! Please do something for me!’
At that very moment, a turtle appeared in front of her that had been missed during the battle with Allen and Minuteman.
‘… … !’
The turtle’s gaze was different from before.
The sinister and insidious god of the sea, who was drunk with the smell of women’s flesh and delighted in looking at her bare skin… He looked down at Harry with a more serious gaze than ever before.
[Hari Han.]
said Poma.
[Don’t try to grab the sea. It’s just a handful of water holding the endless sea in the palm of your hand.]
[The Great Sea is not something you can grasp, but rather throw yourself into its embrace.]
I do not get what it means.
But it’s only clear that what he’s done so far doesn’t mean anything.
[The holy power flows within you. However, using holy power does not mean becoming a Holy Grail Knight. The knight of the gods does not belong to the concept of limitation.]
‘I don’t know what you’re talking about! that… It’s too vague!’
[What you lack is not strength. Fill your heart with faithfulness, faith and trust. Recognize and understand. What greatness do you have?]
Again, unintelligible words. why don’t you know What I need now is a miracle. What does the god who creates miracles want from a lame man like himself?
Poma said as if he could see through Hari’s intentions.
[Do not look for miracles, but perform miracles. God’s most favored people do not beg God for strength.]
“…”
[Listen to the sea. If you didn’t know you were being embraced because it was infinite, you just have to feel it now.]
I have looked through the telescope of the observatory with my pupils.
A trivial field trip experience conducted at an orphanage. Just like when the cosmic, very huge sea that I saw then was enlarged.
The senses convey the information of the world called the sea into which one is immersed.
The turbulent movement of the current, the floundering of limp coral reefs, the seaweeds gently swaying in the current.
[In a harmless world, grabbing a handful of seawater is only a handful.]
Infinite power is not to be obtained, but to be embraced.
[It is a finite existence. must be mortal Yes, if you really want to get immortal power.]
don’t try to hold it in your hand
Infinity is to embrace.
himself now,
is in infinity
Upon realizing the reason, Hari realized the miracles she could do.
Feel the sea, be surrounded by the sea, steer the waves.
In the boundless sea, her gestures will become waves.
Her senses reached the Lionheart of the deep sea far away.
Seongbeop <Separation>
At that moment, from the bottom of the deep sea to the sky above the surface of the water.
The sea split in two.
At that very moment–
– Purruk!
Pegasus soared from the other side of the deep sea.
