Chapter 162 - Heros Descendant 5 (2/2)

“So why can’t we move against the Demon King immediately?”

“Maetel, what did I just say?”

“Didn’t you say you love me?I love you too!Let’s marry!”

“Stop trying to fabricate stuff.”

Artpe definitely said the Demon King’s army wouldn’t be able to find them if they entered that ‘place.’Regina suddenly raised her head before he could stress that point again.

“Even if we are found, they won’t be be able to find us if we enter that place.”

“That is it, Regina.”

“Artpe is vicious.”

Regina’s ability to comprehend the situation was on a different level compared to the idiot hero. Regina was immediately able to discern what Artpe was trying to do from his single sentence!

“Who will take the leading part in this?It is probably me.”

“You are ready.Get ready, Regina.”

“Artpe······If you don’t explain it to me, I’m going to cry.”

Artpe activated his staff, and he resonated his Mana with Regina.Regina had already started to chant her spell.Since the spell was relatively new and it had such a large damage, it took her 10 minutes to chant this great magic.

“It is as Regina had said.Even if our presence was detected by the Demon King, we just have to enter the Dungeon before we are caught..They won’t be able to find us.This is a Dungeon that I only know about.”

“You found it through your Innate ability?”

“Yes, it was through the Innate ability.”

Still, wouldn’t it be a waste to immediately go into the Dungeon?It would be fine if they were detected.Artpe had made his calculations, and he decided it would be ok to strike a heavy blow before they went into the Dungeon.

“When you say a heavy blow...”

“It is Regina’s Downfall spell.Since we are going to do something big, let us add all our Mana to the attack.”

It would be difficult for Regina to tune up a spell of that caliber by herself.This was why he was going to receive help from his staff.It would allow Regina to better control her Mana, and he planned on acting as support for Regina’s spell.This was all possible, because he had the Materialization sell.

“Of course, we cannot kill the Four Heavenly Kings or the Demon King with this.The spell effects too wide a region.It might be ok during the initial stages, but once it is activated, it would be hard to hide the spell.It would be very difficult to land this spell without them dodging it.However….”

“The Demon King’s castle will be blown to dust.”

“That’s right.That is why I want you all to give up all your Mana.Maetel, you know what to do?”

“Ooh.In the end, we are doing this again?”

Maetel obediently activated her Record Master.The rest of his party resignedly gave their Mana to Maetel.

The only thing that was different from the past was the fact that Roa was fundamentally closer to being human through her Polymorph skill.This was why she was able to give her Mana to Maetel.Since Roa was able to resonate with Maetel, her growth had accelerated in recent days.The benefit of her new form outweighed the small downside.

“Too much Mana.”

“I’ll help.”

Mana was pouring into Regina through Maetel.Artpe took control of the Mana as he let it flow into his staff.

Artpe supported Regina as she formed the Downfall magic circle.He amplified her power as he made a second magic circle.He was able to break down the structure of the spell using his Read all Creation magic, and he was able to create the second magic circle thanks to his Materialization magic!Regina looked a little bit more relaxed.

“It’ll be possible now.”

“Of course, it is possible.”

The dense Mana from the ocean of the Demon Realm crystallized as it was being sucked into the magic circle.The power of the magic circle grew.At some point, the magic circle was completed.It was made by combining and charging the Mana of Artpe and Regina into the magic circle.She just needed to finish her chant, and she’ll be able to use the spell at any moment of her choosing!

Regina started to rise as she reached the completion of her spell.Artpe followed her, and his eyes shone with light.They broke through the surface of the water, and they floated in the air.A truly large magic circle followed out behind them.It was very conspicuous.

‘They should be noticing it about now.’

The Demon King’s castle was far away.It was a speck in the distance.Sure enough, when Regina and Artpe appeared out of the water, a bright ray of light shot out from the Demon King’s castle.It was a familiar energy signature.It was sent by the first ranked Four Heavenly King from his past life.

“However, I made preparations.”

Artpe didn’t hesitate as he threw several of the consumable Artifacts he had received from the Dwarves.He had filled it with Mana, so he could use the Artifacts at any moment.When the consumable Artifacts left Artpe’s hand, they activated immediately.It formed truly large barriers.Afterwards, the beam of light impacted on the barriers.

Artpe assessed the power of the beam of light as he nodded his head.In a flash, 3 barriers melted away, but three remained intact.

‘Fortunately, his power levels is around the same as what he possessed in his past life.If we fought him now, we can win against him.’

It would be great if the Four Heavenly King had charged towards them, but that didn’t happen.Instead, Artpe felt a magical energy form from the Demon King’s castle.It was a bit larger than the one prior to this.Artpe also knew this energy signature.

“Artpe, your Mana is wobbling!”

“Koohk······!”

‘It is the Demon King.’

When Artpe felt the magical energy, he felt his heart constrict.Was it because he had been unable to erase the Record of being dominated by the Demon King in his past life?

‘How funny.I’m the most ridiculous one here.How can I claim that I am free from him?I shrank away just from sensing his Mana.’

However, he couldn’t stay frozen like an idiot.He firmly bit his lips.He was a human now, and he was the hero.He couldn’t stay psychologically fettered by the Demon King.He couldn’t let that happen!

“Artpe.”

It happened at that moment.Maetel had exited the waters with the rest of the party.She firmly held onto his hand.Artpe was so surprised that he almost forgot to maintain control over his magic.

“You······.”

“You’ll be ok.”

“······.”

“I’ll protect you, so you’ll be fine.”

Was there a deep meaning behind her words?Artpe was too afraid to ask.He couldn’t ask that question.

However, Artpe’s Mana stabilized right after he held Maetel’s hand.The staff did its job magnificently as it amplified the spell.Lastly, the magic circle was strengthened.Regina was sure that this was the moment she had to manifest the spell.Her voice sounded a bit gleeful as she yelled out.

“Downfall!”

The great magic was activated.

The calamitous spell, which had never been used in history, hit the Demon King’s castle.
