Chapter 166 - Nanarai Bodra 4 (2/2)
[You guys don’t even have a sense of what is right.You guys are playing at being heroes…..Do you really you can obstruct me!]
“Koohk!?”
“I can hold out!”
A massive amount of Demonic energy exited the Demon’s body.It was in the shape of a front paw of a monster, and it struck out against Sienna and Maetel!However, Elrick used the full might of his armor to stop the charge of the monster.The claws of the Demonic energy created small cracks in Elrick’s axe.However, he didn’t retreat.
“It is the warrior’s job to protect the rear!”
[Foolish brat!Get out of my way!I just want to recover the item that is rightfully ours!]
The Demon’s fist embedded itself within the blade of Elrick’s axe.However, it didn’t end there. Refined blades of magical energy sprouted from the Demon’s body.They attacked Elrick!
“Koo-hoohk······!”
“Eh-eeeet!”
At that moment, Maetel’s foot impacted on the Demon’s body.She didn’t care about the blades that were sprouting from his body.It couldn’t pierce her body.Her quick kick sent the Demon flying.The Demon became embedded in the wall of the ruin.
[Ha!]
This was the moment he had been waiting for!As soon as he escaped the encircling net of the hero’s party, the Demon used Blink.In an instant, he teleported in front of the altar!
“Nyaa?”
[Stop.Wait a moment.You bitch······!]
When he finally reached the Altar, the Evil Heart was in Roa’s mouth.She really planned on eating it?The Demon was taken aback as he tried to grab Roa by the scruff.
“Nyaa-ah······ Gulp.”
[Oh no······.]
He never expected her to swallow it without hesitation.The Demon froze in place from despair as the Evil Heart disappeared in front of him.
Of course, he could split open Roa’s stomach.He could extract it, but the quality of the Evil Heart would have degraded significantly by then!
[What the hell did you guys do!]
“What did we do?”
Artpe burst out laughing at the Demon’s words.The situation had unfolded this far, yet the Demon had no idea what was going on.He could only laugh at the Demon’s foolishness.
The Evil Heart had been extracted, yet the altar continued to let out a light.The Dungeon was also trying very hard to purify the Demonic energy, which had filled up the ruin.The only difference was that it wasn’t purifying the Demonic energy of the Evil Heart.It was purifying the Demonic energy of the Demon, who had invaded the ruin.
“This is what we did.”
When Artpe wagged his finger, all 33 Golems turned in place as they glared at the Demon.Even Artpe’s party needed a good amount of time before they were able to defeat all the Golems.Even if the Demon was high in level, the Golems were formidable foes!
However, the important part wasn’t the martial prowess of the Golems.Magic circuits were engraved within their body, so they started sucking in the Demonic energy of the Demon.Just this feature of the Golem restricted the power of the Demon!
[You bastard······ My Demonic energy!How are you using the ruin’s power!?]
The Demon had known that this was Nanarai Bodra’s ruin, and that the Evil Heart was placed within this place.He hadn’t paid attention to anything else.Even if the Evil Heart was gone, the ruin still possessed massive amount of power.
The Demon finally realized the dangers of the ruin.However, it was way too late for him.Once the Demon rashly followed the party into the ruin, the game had ended for him.
“No.You should have thought this out.You guys were too big of a blockhead to find this ruin for several hundred years, right?Can’t you see what that implies?Did you really charge in here without any plan?You can’t be that foolish, right?”
[Koohk, koo-oooooooohk!]
“Artpe is so full of himself.”
“That is his best quality!”
While the Demon was struggling to break free from the fetters placed on him, the Golems had surrounded him.Vadinet used this time to heal the injured party members.Their vitality was restored.
“I hoped someone would crawl in here.I never expected someone to actually come here.As expected, it is more fun for me when there is one or two Demons that are stupid enough to run straight into a trap.”
Artpe was speaking from a perspective of a human.He grinned as he took out and opened his magic tome.His staff rose into the air, and it let out Mana, which shone with purple light.
“This is my domain.You did as you please by intruding into this place….It is time for you to die.”
[Geeeeeeeeeeeeeee!]
All the Golems attacked at the same time when Artpe gave the signal!When the Golems had been fighting against the party, they had been slow.However, it was as if they were sharing Maetel’s Acceleration ability.They swiftly attacked the Demon!
“Master, please help me, nyaa!This is too big!”
“I'm already in the process of helping you.You should just throw up the part that you can’t digest right now.”
“Nyaa-ah-ah.”
The item was bigger than anything she had eaten up until now.It seemed she was in pain.There wwere tears forming in Roa’s eyes.Of course, Artpe had expected this.This was why he had opened his magic tome.
[That magic tome…Did you take it from Tiana!?]
“As expected, you are in the same faction as Tiana.”
[Koohk······!As expected, you guys killed Tiana!]
The Demon detonated his Demonic energy to face off against the group of Golems, who were trying to rush him.He yelled out with a voice full of rage.Three Golems couldn’t purify the Demonic energy, so they blew up.However, Artpe didn’t care about that.
“I won’t ask if you want this or not.Well….Let’s start my last experiment.”
The magic tome vibrated as it floated up halfway into the air.It started to sync with the entire ruin.The Demon finally realized that the magic tome had been rewritten.It happened when his eyes opened wide.
“Everything return to what it used to be.”
When the secret to the Demonic energy and the Demon race was revealed to him, Artpe had finished the ‘Reclaim’ spell.The spell flowed out of Artpe’s mouth.
