Chapter 114 - The Trial 6 (1/2)

'I have to hurry.'

Volak's lightning magic could inflict terrible damage to an opponent that was having a hard time moving.

This was because the range was quite wide, and the cast time was halved when targeting only a specific location.

'But there are also weaknesses.'

While dropping the purple thunderbolt, he could not use the other abilities of the Thunderspear Negima.

In other words, multitasking was not possible.

So, despite his good skills, he had a lower rank than Amii.

When Woohyuk approached him, Volak became confused and repositioned his grip on Thunderspear Negima, switching from ranged magic casting mode to close-range physical combat mode.

However, it would be difficult for him to face Woohyuk, since he had yet to completely recover since their previous battle.

Thud!

Woohyuk attacked with Verserios, but Volak swung the thunderspear in an attempt to block the sword. However, Woohyuk’s fist landed on his face after the successful parry.

“Cough!”

Black blood spewed out of the mouth of the astonished Volak.

“To think that you came to fight me again in this weakened state. Seems like last time’s spanking wasn’t enough.”

There was no need for Woohyuk to continue speaking, as his fists would do the work instead.

Woohyuk continued to swing Verserios and hit the Volak with his fists.

Thud!

Thud!

Thud!

A one-sided assault with no sense of compassion.

However, he had done something that was worthy of angering Woohyuk.

He had left many injuries on his precious vassal, Aris.

“Did you think you would be safe after laying a finger on my vassal?”

“I am prepared to die. I will never kneel to you...”

Thump!

Thwack!

Whack!

The intensity of the assault increased endlessly.

As a result, the Volak's body, which was already injured and weakened, became a messy rag.

Nevertheless, the reason his subordinates did not come to help him out was because Nakron and the lichs were holding them back.

There was no one left to save Volak anymore.

“Despair and writhe in pain, Volak. This is the very last gift I have for you.”

Woohyuk pulled his left arm when he noticed Volak about to faint while frothing.

Immediately, he reached out and landed an uppercut on Volak’s jaw, sending him flying several meters in the air.

“I want to pummel you so much more, but I’ll leave it here for today.”

There were other enemies remaining, including Dantalion.

When Woohyuk unfolded Lemegeton, Volak turned into demonic energy and was sucked into the book.

[Volak, 62nd Demon King]

-Occupation: Demon King (Baron)

-Stats:

Strength 362

Vitality 347

Agility 384

Intelligence 305

Spirit 351

'It matches the information I knew.'

He checked to see if there were any hidden abilities, but there were no oddities.

mobilization, Demon King’s Dignity, and Master-Slave Contract were available for every Demon King.

“Thank you, Lord Asura!”

Aris flew over to Woohyuk, who was looking at the status window, and hugged him.

She wasn’t in a good shape since she had been facing Volak and his subordinates on her own until now.

‘Dantalion is the last remaining Demon King.’

It was Loengreen who was fighting against him.

He, too, was in a sorry state.

In the past, after fighting a fierce battle against Demon King Orbas, ranked 55th, he had to hibernate since he was on the verge of dying.

However, in a way, it was amazing that he could endure the attacks of a high-class demon for this long.

'I have to find the real body.'

Dantalion was able to move the real body to one of the dozens of clones at any moment.

As he tried to pull out the Archaeologist's Golden Magnifying Glass, Nakron approached him with the lichs.

“We’ll deal with the clones, my disciple. In the meantime, take down Dantalion.”

“I plan on doing that, but do you know how to distinguish the main body from the clones?”

“It would be possible if you use advanced analysis magic.”

No matter how weak the 72nd Demon King was, a Demon King was still a Demon King.

Intermediate and low-level analysis magic would not work on them.

Woohyuk pondered for a while before summoning Agnes, who had been fighting on the ground.

“Can you see where that guy's real body is?”

“Ah, um… Yes. There it is.”

Agnes’s arms creaked as she pointed to Dantalion’s true body.

She could only use lower-level analysis magic if she only had a single seal released, but now that all her seals had been undone, she could use advanced analysis magic.

Woohyuk nodded and lifted Verserios.

“Tell him the location of the real body in real time as I fight.”

”Yes, I understand.”

It was much easier to do this than to fight with the archaeologist's golden magnifying glass in hand.

As Woohyuk flapped his abyssal wings and flew in, Dantalion spoke without hiding his nervousness.

“Everyone ended up biting the dust. Is it my turn this time?”

“Accept your fate, Dantalion.”

“No, I can't do that. I’ve survived and barely endured everything this far, so I can’t die here. I can’t die now.”

He had lived as the last ranked demon king all this time while receiving the contempt and snickers of everyone around him.

But he endured it all, because he thought that if he slowly made plans using his brilliant mind, he would see the light someday.

So it would be troublesome for everything to end here.

As he thought deeply, Dantalion moved his true body to another clone.

[Lord Asura, it's the third one to the right!]

[Understood.]

Woohyuk immediately threw Verserios at the clone Agnes pinpointed him to.

Swoosh!

Shluck!

Dantalion screamed painfully as he stared down at his stabbed thigh.

“Aaaaaargh!”

“You can't run away anymore. No matter how many sly tricks you make, you can’t escape.”

In the past, Dantalion had used cunning tricks that Woohyuk had found annoying and bothersome to deal with.

This entire war’s strategy must’ve also originated from him.

When his thoughts reached that conclusion, Woohyuk couldn't hold back anymore.

Whack!

“Urgh…!”

Kicked in the abdomen, Dantalion let out a painful groan.

But there was no way it would end here.

The guy had put several vassals in danger and even aimed at Woohyuk's life.

In terms of guilt, it could be said that he was the worst amongst the three demon kings.

“I will never let you die so easily.”

Woohyuk’s eyes flashed and he grabbed Dantalion's neck with his left hand.

“Agh…”

“Try using that genius brain of yours now, Dantalion.”

Verserios' sharp blade pierced Dantalion's left thigh.

Stab!

“Kuaargh!”

“Scream louder. That kind of shout can’t entertain me enough.”

Woohyuk's words were full of craze.

The anger, born from losing his loved ones helplessly during the past 40 years, had finally revealed its true form.

Stab!

Whack!

Slice!

Having let go of his reason, the beast bit the prey in front of him without hesitation.

Even Loengreen, who had been observing this scene from behind, felt thrilled.

'You also have this kind of side in you.'

Cruel but elegant madness. Loengreen had named it that way.

'If he didn't really love his vassals, he wouldn't have been this upset furious.'

It was truly sublime and beautiful.

That's why he wanted to protect him by his side.

But it seemed like he didn't need to step forward himself anymore.
