Chapter 199 - Final Chapter 2 (1/2)
Chapter 199 - Final Chapter (2)
The surrounding was deadly quiet. In an instant, a level 400 plus high ranked Demon was killed.Of course, the reaction to such an event wouldn’t be minor.The Demons, who were under the command of the dead Demon, came to a halt in fright.In the end, they were turned into humans by the power of the magic circle.
[My power is decreasing.]
[It isn’t just our power.The aggression that we use to violently attack our enemies can’t be felt. That bastard is trying to shackle us by turning us into humans!]
“Shackle?You guys have been wearing a mask up until now.Why can’t you see that I’m just taking that mask off?”
When a firm idea took root within him, Artpe no longer hesitated over his actions.He didn’t agonize over what he had to do.The Reclamation magic existed to turn everything back into its original form.This wasn’t Artpe’s will.It was the will of the world, so there was no way this spell would be defeated!
[Can it be…..]
The low voice of an old man could be heard.
[I never expected someone to complete that spell…..]
“He has overwhelming Demonic energy.Regina!Etna!”
“We are ready.”
“This Demonic energy…..?”
He let the staff use the Reclamation magic.He had done this before when he fought against the arm of the Demonic god.This allowed Artpe to participate in the battle.Of course, the Reclamation magic expanded at a slower rate as a result!This was why he wanted his party to take care of the fighting, but….
“Wait a moment.”
As he induced the staff and the magic tome to resonate, he was able to gain momentary freedom.He put his Mana into the hand of destruction, and in a flash, it grew in size.It regained its original size.When Artpe relayed his will to it, it spread its fingers, and it created an enormous barrier.
Afterwards, the Baptism of the Demonic Spear impacted on the middle of the barrier!
The hand did well in blocking it, and it destroyed the spear.In the process, Artpe was able to assess his opponent.He scrunched up his face.
“I knew it didn’t make sense.I should have known it would turn out like this.”
[What is that hand?A life form such as this exists in this world?No.I asked the wrong question.It is type of golem made through magic!Interesting.A mere golem was able to block my attack.How is that possible?However, it won’t be able withstand my next attack.I already figured out the golem’s special characteristic!]
“Artpe, he’s annoying.”
“Don't worry.I feel the same way.”
The second attack came flying in.First, the enemy manifested a magical net to restrict the movement of the hand of destruction.Then he followed up with a barrage of powerful magic bombs.It was supposed to destroy the hand, but of course, the hand of destruction completely extinguished the attack.
[What······!?]
“This is odd.It is the first time I’ve heard this voice, but his manner of speech is quite familiar…...”
“It is also annoying.”
Artpe’s party members felt a weird sense of de ja vu as they raised their weapons.Artpe knew they were in a desperate situation, yet the couldn’t suppress his laughter.His Read All Creation ability had already picked up on the presence of his enemy.
Maybe, the Demon was confident no one could pierce through his stealth magic.He continued to be in a defenseless position.Of course, his stealth magic was so great that it couldn’t be penetrated unless one had the Read All Creation ability…..
[Etna.]
[Yes, he really is annoying in my opinion.]
Etna was sharing his Read All Creation ability, so she caught sight of the enemy.He was making every effort to destroy the hand of destruction with his magic, but the hand was blocking all his attempts.She could see that he was growing angry.
[We have to give up on the idea that we can kill him outright.Before he picks up on it, we have to focus on dealing as much damage to his body.He is a master that knows our magic better than anyone else.]
[How do you know this….?Never mind.I understand.I have to minimize my use of my magic, and I have to deal a fatal blow?]
However, their foe was too far for him to leave the battle to the close range fighters of his party.Unfortunately, Mycenae was still lacking in terms of damage when it came to single burst attacks.
This was why the task fell onto Etna.Etna was the only one in the party that dealt with magic that wasn’t truly magic.
[Alright.I’ll show you how it is done.]
Etna activated her Innate ability.If it was a simple spell, it would have been detected by her opponent.However, her Innate ability was Spirit Transformation.It was an ability that hadn’t existed hundreds of years ago when the previous Demon King and the previous hero had run amok.
“At the very least, I’ll take one arm!”
[Koo-huhk?]
This was why the Demon Nanarai Bodra couldn’t respond to the suddenly surging white flame.Etna had transformed into a Fire Spirit.As soon as he saw her, he immediately created a barrier.However, Etna had kept her words.She had already burned away his entire arm!
[Koohk, koo-ha-ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!]
He hadn’t felt pain for a very long time.The Demon screamed as he grabbed his shoulder.Artpe spoke as he watched the face, which had been distorted by pain.There was a cold smile on his lips.
“I believe this is the first time we’ve met directly, sunbae-nim.”
“Sunbae-nim······?Huh?”
The rest of the party finally realized what had caused that sense of incongruity.From the moment he had appeared, the Demon had spoken like a know it all asshole.He was Nanarai Bodra.He was the previous hero that had periodically helped Artpe’s party by leaving behind vestiges of his legacy.
There was distinct pattern to his Demonic energy, and he had overwhelming power.He also possessed an overwhelming presence and level.He had reached an absurdly high level of 403.
Finally, the name that was being shown through Artpe’s eyes proved his identity.
“Why······?”
