I destroyed the last red lump fired by the Red King with 《Hero Sword; Gilgash》.
I sohow managed to prevent the Red King’s attack on Manarak.
But, I would be in a perilous situation if things keep going on like this.
With this, the Red King knew that they could use Manarak city as their hostage.
「… They showed their true nature once they got cornered eh.」
The mont I swung my sword, turned toward the Red King, a new bloody red lump had already been invoked and fired toward Urzottle.
The firing line was straight toward us with Manarak city right behind .
「Ur, retreat!」
Ur retreated upon hearing my order.
I unleashed a hail of thrust with 《Hero Sword; Gilgash》 and destroyed the crimson lump.
The second smaller lump was hidden right behind the first one.
I swung my sword in a hurry but I couldn’t make it in ti.
The pointed tip of the red lump stabbed into my abdon.
I was attacked by nausea and vomited blood soon after.
「Guh…!」
I hit the red lump’s side with the tip of 《Hero Sword; Gilgash》.
The Red King had already used the tactic of attacking the city to bait to show an opening.
「Kuun…」
Urzottle looked anxiously at .
「It’s okay, the damage isn’t such a big deal.」
I had no leeway anymore the mont they used the city as hostage.
So the best solution was using brute force to kill them at once in a single strongest strike.
I think that not even the Red King could withstand a single, proper attack from 《Hero Sword; Gilgash》.
「I’ll finish them off the mont they try to use another large scale attack. I should be able to interrupt their invocation as long as I killed them before the magic was completed.」
Urzottle nodded and then kicked the air, rushing in toward the Red King again.
The first step of our plan was to bait the Red King to use a large-scale attack on Manarak again.
The mont the Red King looked at , losing my hesitation, they fired the red lump right at .
I sliced all of them with my sword.
This ti, the Red King’s old man face was changed into that of desperation.
I prepared 《Gravibomb》 again to restrict the Red King’s movent, preventing them from escaping.
And the mont we get closer… They finally unleashed their attack.
The Red King’s face turned into that of relieved expression this ti.
「Ur, charge ahead! No need to prolong this fight!」
Urzottle rushed ahead on a straight line without trying to dodge the red lump.
I caught the red lump which was even bigger than myself with my body and tossed it aside.
It felt like my sternum cracked due to that collision but I had no leeway to worry about that right now.
The Red King gritted their teeth, and started to create a magic circle below us, trying to use the city as hostage again.
Yes, another attempt to threaten .
But, it was already too late for them.
Thanks to that, they showed a huge opening for to finish them off.
「Thanks, Ur.」
I jumped from Ur’s back, charging straight toward the Red King.
「I know that you’re going to escape if I fail to kill you in one strike, and you’re going to use innocent people as a hostage if you fail to escape… How un-king-like, or more like how a small fry would act. You should change your na to Red Pawn.」
I unleashed a vertical slash with 《Hero Sword; Gilgash》.
A vertical line ran through the Red King’s body, bisected them in half.
Their old man’s face still showed a shocked look on their face.
Nurous small cracks appeared on the Red King’s body before it got smashed up for good.
Suddenly, sothing shining bright red appeared from within the Red King’s body.
「Is that the Red King… Core?」
The sphere expanded, and shrunk imdiately, rapidly turning black in color.
I couldn’t hide my shock seeing that.
I was really familiar with that phenonon since it was similar with unleashed 《Gravibomb》.
No way… They tried to drag down with them too!
This has proven the authenticity of Alice’s remark which says that Nyarlhotep would definitely do sothing to dispose of .
「So this is the real trap eh, definitely not sothing that Red King co with.」
I bit my lips.
「Kuun…」
Urzottle looked anxiously at .
「Thanks, Ur. I’ll do sothing about this situation.」
Urzottle’s figure wrapped in light, and vanished.
My body dropped down at high speed as Ur’s body vanished.
「Kuun!」
I heard Urzottle’s dissatisfied cries right before their last vestige vanished.
They had already returned to the spirit realm.
Urzottle’s level was much lower than mine; they wouldn’t be able to survive if they got engulfed in this last attack.
But alone, I might be able to sohow survive the predicant, not to ntion that I had counterasures against this kind of situation.
「Ti-Space Magic, 12th Rank《Slow World》」
A magic circle appeared..
The Red King’s core is wrapped in purple light.
It was a magic that slowed down the flow of ti within a certain range.
Since it literally slows down everything within its range, it wasn’t user-friendly magic for combat but, this was the most suitable magic for to gain so ti to get away as far as possible before the core exploded.
I intended to use every single bit of my remaining mana to escape this predicant.
That should be enough to gain so ti.
I should be able to escape outside of the explosion range with short teleport.
「Luckily we fought in the air. I’m afraid that the damage in the city will be too great if I fight the Red King on the ground…」
I used a twin mind model to rapidly cast 《Short Gate》 and escape to below.
《Slow World》 did manage to give so leeway but there was nothing wrong with being too careful.
The reason I used 《Short Gate》 rather than long distance teleport was simply because it was more convenient.
「Barrier Magic, 26th Rank《Vanity(Return to Nothing)》」
That mont, I heard a faint, male voice.
Black magic circle expanded with the Red King’s core as its center, dispersing the purple light of the 《Slow World》.
「E–」
For a mont, I had no idea what just happened.
But I knew that soone interrupted and destroyed my 《Slow World》.
And it wasn’t done by Alice.
The tone and voice were different, not to ntion that the rank of magic used just now was clearly far above her capabilities.
It wasn’t the Red King either, that guy had already died.
I had never seen Lunaire using magic of the 26th rank.
So there was no way a re level 3000 Red King could use magic of that rank.
But wait, I knew that voice.
The mont I thought so, the Red King’s core swelled up at once.
The next mont, my field of vision was painted red due to the grand explosion of the core.
