Chapter 163 - Nanarai Bodra 1 (1/2)
Chapter 163 - Nanarai Bodra (1)
Thick beams of light fell from the sky.It was like a hail storm.This was beyond any spell Artpe had witnessed in his past life.The overwhelming baptism of destruction might be more powerful than the Reign of Ruin spell!
He could sense each resident of Demon King’s castle try to block the attack, but it was all useless.The spell was filled to the brim with pure destructive power.It pushed aside all Mana, and it hit the Demon King’s castle and the nearby region.
For a moment, there was no sound.Everything was destroyed, and the Demon King’s castle ceased to exist.Regina was the culprit that had manifested this magic, yet even she was shaken at the sight of the transcendent power.
Countless Records were being extinguished and reborn.It filled Regina’s mind.The spell level had risen, so if she used it again, she would be able to create a more horrifying spectacle.
“Ooh-ahhhhhhhhh.”
“The Demon King’s castle, which had been protected by countless spells….”
“Let’s bounce.”
Artpe didn’t hesitate as he activated the ability of his boots.He grabbed ahold of his party.Afterwords, a strange distortion formed around the party, and they were transported to the highlands.
“Ah.I can see the Demon King’s castle down there, oppa.”
“It is where the Demon King’s castle used to be.”
He hadn’t transported them far, but the party realized the quality of ambient Mana in the air was different from before.The sharp Demonic energy, which could only be felt near the Demon King’s castle, no longer pricked their skin.They could longer feel it.
“It really is....tranquil here.”
“It really is.”
At Elrick’s words, Vadinet nodded her head in agreement.Vadinet continued to speak as she looked at where the Demon King’s castle used to exist.
“Unlike here, that place is a complete bedlam….”
At the very least, the Demon King’s castle had existed for several hundred years.It had been passed down from the previous Demon King.It no longer existed now.Regina had targeted the whole region with her great magic called Downfall.It completely destroyed everything near the Demon King’s castle.As if that wasn’t enough, the spell had scooped out the ground.It had created an enormous crater.
Most of the Demons, who had resided within the Demon King’s castle, had died in an instant.Several high ranked Demons had also died when they were unable to dodge the spell.Of course, none of the Four Heavenly Kings had died.In the case of the Demon King, he had tried to block the spell.It seemed he had taken additional damage in the process.
“Demons are amazing!They found where we were a moment ago!They were so quick!”
“They probably perceived our location before the attack.Oh.A Four Heavenly King was dispatched.”
They were called the Four Heavenly Kings, but there were only two left that were part of the original Four Heavenly Kings from Artpe’s past life.There was the man, who had ranked first amongst them.The second ranked was Etna.It seemed Etna hadn’t been within the Demon King’s castle.
It basically meant that the one that had suffered under the spell was the first ranked Four Heavenly King from Artpe’s past life.He had come running towards the shore near the Demon realm’s ocean.
“He is a man with a very cold visage.”
“You are accurate in your assessment.That guys uses powerful iced-based abilities.”
“Ice-based?”
“Yes.”
He hadn’t searched out the Winter Queen’s ruin with Regina for the sole reason of acquiring power needed to defeat Etna.Regina’s newly acquired power would decrease the effectiveness of the power possessed by this man, who was considered to be the first amongst the Four Heavenly Kings.
“Does that mean Regina’s cold energy will have no effect on that man?”
“Etna just has to attack him with heat.”
“So you are dead set on acquiring that woman as an ally?Huh?”
Maetel’s eyes narrowed, and she mercilessly poked Artpe’s waist with her finger.Artpe elegantly ignored her as he observed the man, who was standing where they had been not too long ago.Artpe watched the Mana being emitted by that particular Demon.
Would he be able to read the trace of the Dimensional pocket?Would he be able to chase after them?It looked possible for a brief moment, but it seemed the task was too much for him.The Four Heavenly King clicked his tongue then he left the shoreline.Artpe finally let out a sigh of relief when he saw this.
“Even if they leave, they have no place to return to.”
“Wah-ah.The Demons, who used to live in the Demon King’s castle, are refugees now.”
“They were quite fortunate that it ended with them becoming refugees.The number of Demons that were killed exceeds the number of Demons we are seeing right now.”
The Demon underlings, who had followed Artpe in his past life, would be amongst the casualties.He would be lying if he said he didn’t feel any regret in killing them.However, he had no relationship with them in this current life, so he couldn’t look out for them.It wasn’t as if he could shave sent a note asking them to evacuate the Demon King’s castle before the attack.
‘I'm sorry.If you guys feel aggrieved, please be born again like me.’
Artpe observed a short moment of silence then he turned around.Since he was sure that no one from the Demon King’s castle could locate Artpe’s party, it was time for them to enter into Nanarai Bodra’s ruin.He no longer needed to worry about being attacked from the rear.
“You guys have to bear this in mind before we enter the ruin. Let’s be honest.We’ve never gotten lost during a Dungeon exploration, right?”
“It is all thanks to Artpe!”
Maetel yelled out in an energetic manner.In the next moment, Artpe spoke with a cold and salty voice.
“However, I really don’t know a lot about this ruin.The fact that I was able to find its location was a miracle in itself.In truth, this place might be very dangerous.”
“We’ve already reached this point, so what could scare us more than what we’ve experienced up until now?”
Maetel still sounded energetic as she replied to Artpe’s words.Artpe stopped speaking.She was right.They’ve were able to reach the Demon King’s castle.Why wouldn’t they be able to pull this off?His other party member didn’t act any differently than before.
“Hue hue.We’ve started the final match by destroying the Demon King’s castle.I really like your style.As expected, Artpe-nim is the best.”
“Unni, you are drooling.”
“Ssssp.”
Vadinet was a pushover when it came to talking about the hero.She believed everything would work out if she was by the hero’s side.Sienna also looked pretty relaxed and easygoing.
If one wanted to fluster Sienna, Artpe probably had to be removed from her presence.The downside was the fact that her dependence on Artpe was high.However, she became a fearless warrior when she was next to Artpe.
“The Demon King…..We attacked the Demon King’s castle before we entered this ruin.The tension that had been built up until that point was thrown away, and it really wasn’t something a hero should have done.However, all will be fine if we are able to get stronger in here.”
Elrick was inside his armor, and he clenched both his fists.His image had changed considerably in this current life.Elrick used to be taciturn in his past life.He had been a man of few words, yet he had protected the hero from beginning to end.His sense of justice and bravery was still present in this current life.It had never lessened.
