35 – Preparation to be one step ahead – 2
‘…… ‘What does that an?’
My head beca complicated. I couldn’t understand at all how the Demon King could give such an order. If there is a human coming here, you must tell him what order you gave him?
‘Is there really a prophetic ability? … No, that wouldn’t be possible.’
If he had the ability to prophesy in the first place, he would have used it in the original novel, and if so, there is no way Priscilla or Rosaria would have known about it. However, both of them looked very embarrassed that the Demon King had said such a thing.
For the devil, is there any benefit to be gained by revealing all of his plans? I looked back on the situation, but nothing ca to mind. I can think of sothing with just a few more clues.
“Mummy! Be careful!”
ㅡQuad deuk!
When I heard the sound of sothing flying through the wind, I reflexively raised my spirit. A trendous shock ca from the object blocking the left side of my body. His hands were shaking, and his legs were up in the air.
Quang! With a loud crashing sound, the body crashed into the wall on the opposite side of the path that blocked eternity. His right shoulder pierced the cave wall and went halfway inside. I felt intense pain from the half of my body that was pinned against the wall.
Rock chips and dust tickled my nasal passages. I coughed and cleared my throat. My vision, which had been blacked out for a while, returned to its original state. He strengthened his left arm and pushed himself away. After several attempts, the stuck half of my body fell out.
Both legs touched the ground again. It was the first real pain I felt in quite a while. If I had failed to react and had not used body strengthening, my body would have exploded in one blow and I would have died instantly.
“Hahaha! I’m glad I’m not floating around! “It won’t end so trivially!”
It seed like he knew that, too, as he laughed until the cave shook. He didn’t even look at Priscilla and Rosaria, who were ready to fight nearby.
“Mummy! Are you okay?!”
“Do you need treatnt?”
Priscilla and Rosaria, who were looking through the gap, ca next to . Rosaria attempted to use her Divine Cure on and was embarrassed to find no wounds, while Priscilla aid her wand and prepared to cast her magic.
The guy didn’t look scared at all even though Priscilla was ready to cast her magic. Rather, he spread his arms wide and bobbed his head provocatively as if asking to do sothing.
And that was also true.
‘I said that magic that can end the chant in a short period of ti won’t cause any damage.’
It’s not that there’s a problem with Priscilla’s magic, it’s that that guy is so strong that he’s ignorant. I left the two and went forward alone. Rosaria, who was about to panic, was stopped by Priscilla with a gentle touch.
As I approached, he swung his ax with great force.
“Are you going to fight it alone? Hahahaha! I really like that montum! “I was annoyed because that bitch Astaroth took my soldiers without permission, but I think I can solve it here!”
Of course, I don’t intend to fight alone. I’m not a berserker crazy about fighting, so I should go in a direction that requires as little effort as possible.
This is a laying stone for later.
Imdiately after eting Maker, a course of action in case of an encounter was prepared for Priscilla and each of her corps commanders. I never expected that the day would co when I would be able to use it so quickly, but it happened anyway.
Even if it’s impossible for Priscilla to win in a one-on-one fight with that guy, it doesn’t an he can’t do a lot of damage. So, I was planning to take advantage of the fight with and hit a big one properly.
‘Did you say that all you have to do is strike first before being stabbed in the back?’
Priscilla explained this operation like that. When you first et him, he probably acts like he’s a fair and bold warrior, but that’s all just a pretense.
It was said that he only behaves like that when he thinks he can win, and when he thinks he’s going to lose, he calls his subordinates or sets traps to try to win by any ans necessary.
He was a guy who couldn’t even get his money’s worth.
“Well. If you lose to , you’ll only get more annoyed. How about just quietly walking away now without making each other blush? We’ll just destroy this place and go back. Promise.”
“Did you say you were going to lose now? Is this ? “He doesn’t even know his subject!”
The blind spot of this strategy is that I have to stand in front until Priscilla sees the opportunity and finishes her chant, but honestly, if the goal is to hold on rather than trying to win, I could do that all day.
‘I learned the technique to use from Priscilla.’
Of course, it may not be completely the sa as what was used in the original work, but it was enough to have a rough outline of what technology to use. At least you won’t die because you don’t know what technology is.
Perhaps he thought my words were bluff, and he stood in place and clapped his ax just like he did to Priscilla. He said he would allow the other side to attack first, but there is no reason to decline. He kicked the ground and ran.
The distance was drastically shortened due to the highest intensity of body strengthening I had used in a long ti. A face with an expression of surprise ca right in front of .
But regardless, its body was following my movents. The ax was swung horizontally. It was threatening to split in half.
He kicked the ground and jumped to avoid the attack. The ax blade cutting through the air ca to a halt as soon as it missed . It was truly incredible strength, but I was faster.
The blade, shining blue and surrounded by mana, aid for the guy’s neck and slashed through it.
“Hmm!”
He put his energy into it and gave it his strength. Wow! A sound like tal being struck was heard. It was the sound of the eternal blade failing to pierce the guy’s neck, leaving only a small scratch.
‘What an ignorant person…’ ….’
No matter how much it was an attack filled with mana, you used your body strength to block it?
The strategy changed. He stepped on the ax blade, which had just begun to change direction, to create a support platform, pulled his left hand back, and struck the guy in the face.
ㅡPeook!
‘…… ‘Ugh!’
Even though he used body enhancents and even wrapped his fists with mana, his fingers were tingling. It must be powerful enough to destroy even a fairly large rock with one blow.
Whether it was a hit or not, it was ti to get out. I kicked the guy in the face and took a step back. His right hand wandered past the spot where I had left. It felt like they were trying to catch .
I shook my numb left hand in the air a few tis and held the eternity again. The guy burst out laughing with a completely unhard face.
“You have outstanding courage! I appreciate that ambition! “He may be a small guy, but he seems worth introducing to!”
The guy who snorted strengthened his body. The muscles on his entire body, which were already huge, swelled as if they were about to burst. The guy shouted in a loud voice.
“My na is Raptarukus! “He is the chief of the Centaur clan and the proud commander of the 6th Legion of the Demon King’s Army!”
To soone who doesn’t know him, he might be seen as soone who truly pursues honor and aims for a fair duel. If it weren’t for Priscilla, I would have mistakenly thought she had that type of personality.
Of course, this is not the case at all. What kind of honor does a guy who called his subordinates and tried to beat him because he felt like he was going to lose after challenging the hero to a fight?
From noble mtl dot com
‘Still, there’s no harm in pretending to follow.’
The more he draws attention to Priscilla, the better.
“It’s a mummy crate.”
“A mummy crate?”
The guy laughed and told the cave to leave again.
“Did the Demon King even predict this? He told to report it imdiately if the person who ca to block this place is nad Mira Krayt! “He is truly soone worth following!”
“… ….”
At this point, I beca truly curious about the identity of the devil. Even if you knew my na because you heard it from the maker, why did you expect him to co and stop ?
The deeper I thought, the more I could think of nothing but questions. There were too few clues to derive the correct answer.
“But I am Raptarukus! I can’t turn my back on the enemy who attacked without fighting! “I will personally beat you down and present you to the Demon King’s throne!”
What kind of warrior is soone who will close his mouth and change his stance when he is pushed by ? He laughed inwardly.
‘Is it because I’m stupid?’
If the na of the person who ca here was Mira Krait, he was ordered to report imdiately, but considering that he didn’t even ask the na, he might be an idiot after all.
You have a muscular brain that only believes in its own strength and pushes forward without even the slightest thought, sothing I am thankful for.
“… ….”
Priscilla and Rosaria just watched the battle unfolding before their eyes. Even though I was confident that I had a lot of experience in combat, even following the movents was daunting.
The ax flashed, and each ti the eternity was swung, the walls, floor, and ceiling were torn apart. The surrounding space, which was at most just a passage for a few people to pass through, had suddenly turned into a large cavity.
It was fortunate that there were no signs of collapse yet. It was an outpost, and it seed like it had been built fairly sturdy.
“Hahahahaha!”
Raptarukus raised his ax and charged. Youngwon caught the charge and twisted its trajectory, but the difference in power was so significant that it bounced off to the side and rolled on the floor.
But in the anti, I didn’t forget to add an extra hit. A small scratch appeared on the back of his hand.
Priscilla could tell. Even though at first glance she appears to be equal or superior to Lap Tarukus in strength, it is the corps commander who is ultimately hurt.
Even when it was thrown back by force, rolled several tis on the floor, and rose into the air for a long ti, it was Youngwon who collided with the double-edged ax, not Mira’s body.
But every ti Youngwon flashed his blade, he inflicted a wound on his opponent’s body. The proof was that the scratches left behind, like a solid red line, had increased to the point where they could be seen with the naked eye.
That grotesquely hard skin barely blocks effective hits.
“… ….”
Perhaps he was well aware of that fact, the cheerful smile that had been pretending to be on his face disappeared. It seed like he was slowly starting to realize what was going on.
The movent beca noticeably slower, as if trying to avoid showing any more gaps. Now it was ti for him to step forward.
‘A suitably large one.’
The biggest thing is impossible. Because the cave will collapse. Although it was sturdy because it was an outpost, it was not strong enough to withstand the highest level killing magic that Priscilla used with all her might.
Priscilla quietly raised her wand.
“Hide it so I can’t see it.” “You can get out of the way when I give you the signal.”
“Huh? Ahhh. Huh.”
Rosalia quietly approached Priscilla. Her eyes caught the eye of her star-stitched outfit, which was still short enough to reveal the bottom of her hips.
Did Mira also see that?
“… ….”
Thinking that she should wear her skirt a little higher next ti, Priscilla began chanting quietly. A small but very detailed magic circle was drawn on the tip of her wand.
“Where are you doing such nonsense?”
A loud voice shook the cave. When the concentration was broken, the magic circle drawn on the tip of the staff dispersed into mana. Shocked, Priscilla raised her head.
“You are interfering with the sacred duel between warriors! “I won’t leave you alone!”
In fact, an emotion closer to happiness than anger appeared on the face of the guy who said those words.
Priscilla was once again astonished.
Even though he looks like that, he was by no ans weak as he was the commander of the 6th Corps of the Demon King’s Army. Once they appeared on the battlefield, it was common for not only ordinary soldiers but even elite knights to be divided into hundreds.
Even if we split into hundreds, it wasn’t even possible to catch him for sure. On the human side, there were at most ten people who were believed to be able to reliably capture the commander of the Demon King’s army.
That’s why the first thing the hero did at the end of Part 2 was to run around to catch those corps commanders.
‘But… ….’
Mira was pushing the corps commander single-handedly.
This wasn’t even the first ti. Priscilla was amazed at her strength, but she also wondered what the first world was like when she was first possessed and barely returned alive.
If you look at the explanations that were sotis given, it didn’t seem like a good world at all.
“Hey! He’s coming this way. What should I do? “Why don’t you just run away?”
Rosaria shouted urgently. The distance was getting closer. Priscilla changed the type of magic she was going to use. First, use defensive magic.
ㅡPazy!
However, the defensive magic that Priscilla hastily used broke down as soon as it touched the guy’s body.
‘As expected.’
I bit her lip slightly. It wasn’t that that guy was weak, it was Mira that was strong. It wasn’t enough to stop him yet.
Raptarukus roared and raised his axe. Rosalia was scared and stepped behind her. The back of her head pressed against Priscilla’s chest. But Priscilla wasn’t surprised.
“Where are you looking instead of fighting with ?”
I saw a mummy starting to fall towards the ground behind . The man who turned his head to check behind him at the sound of a clear voice began to panic.
The mummy’s body slowly changed its trajectory.
ㅡDropping the balance.
With soone’s low whisper, the star fell.
“What are you doing?”
“…… !”
I thought I got it right, but my scale drop wasn’t able to decapitate Raptarukus.
‘You caught this?’
This was because soone suddenly appeared and caught the blade of eternity with one hand.
Soone wearing a richly decorated white coat that reached down to their ankles, long purple hair that also reached down to their ankles, pink eyes, and large black horns.
“Demon King!”
Raptarukus shouted in a very embarrassed voice. It was only then that I realized the identity of the woman who suddenly appeared.
‘This woman…’ ….’
I tried to pull out the captured Youngwon by strengthening my arms, but the Youngwon wouldn’t budge. Even when she tried to infuse mana to use Polarity Twisting, the mana could not circulate beyond the area held in her palm.
“I heard about your actions from Astaroth, Commander of the 6th Legion.”
“…… “Is that so!”
But the Demon King started talking to Raptarukus as if he couldn’t even see , who was trying his best to take out Eternity.
“So, what were you doing?”
“Ugh, haaaaa!”
The guy scread. It was only later that he realized that his entire right arm, which was holding a double-edged axe, had been cut off. Blood spurted out like a fountain from the cut surface.
In the other hand holding Yeongwon, a strange-looking sword was seen.
“Recite what orders she gave you. Right now.”
“Guard this place…… Who, the military is coming, if…… Tell the Demon King’s orders…… Well, if soone nad Mira Krait cos…… He told to report it imdiately…….”
“Okay. I have clearly given you such an order. So let ask again. “What were you doing here?”
“Well, that is…” ….”
“I told you to answer clearly, but don’t your words sound like words?”
ㅡKwajik!
“Oh, no! Wow! Demon King! “Please forgive !”
ㅡKwasik! Kwasik!
A foot wearing a high heel trampled Raptarukus rcilessly. The body, which had only scratches from the blade of eternity, was shattered like soft tofu. The sound of bones breaking was constantly heard.
At that scene of violence that was difficult to describe in words, the three of us just watched in silence. The Demon King’s violence against his subordinates continued until Raptarukus beca a rag.
“Ugh, ugh…” ….”
“It’s been a week. “If you show signs of healing your wounds within a week, I will personally skin you and hang you on the top of the highest tower in the Demon King’s Castle.”
“Yes, yes…” ….”
“Go away. “Before she changes her mind.”
“Xavier, thank you… ….”
The guy’s body faded and disappeared. The blood stains left on the floor were the only remnants of the violence that had occurred just monts before.
Soon, the pink pupils turned in my direction.
