Chapter 162 : Supre King (6)
Alicia quietly placed her hand on the scabbard as she watched Arkendale's Imperial Knights swarming in before her eyes.
Arkendale Imperial Knights.
Although it is said that they cannot reach the level of the Divine Beast Knights that the Empire boasts of, that does not an the level of the Arkendale Imperial Knights is low.
The Arkendale Kingdom occupied the center of the Eastern Union, and the level of the Imperial Knights, who were selected from the best knights among them, was the real deal.
Under normal circumstances, they were not opponents that re prisoners dragged to the north could face.
Nevertheless, the mbers of the 4th Special Task Force, including Alicia, stood before the Imperial Knights.
Because there was a reason they couldn't back down.
“Intruders, surrender obediently.”
At the Imperial Knight's words, Conlan snorted.
“You have a fascinating way of asking to be spared. Doesn't he?”
“Tell about it. Must be an idiom used in Arkendale.”
At Conlan and Albino's ridicule, the Imperial Knight, whose face flushed red, drew his sword.
“……Execute all those intruders who don't know their place!”
At that, Conlan and Albino stood on each side, centering on Alicia.
If there was one fortunate thing, it was that the number of Imperial Knights present here wasn't that high because the Imperial Knights also had so many things on their plate.
A 3-on-3 situation.
Although in terms of individual level, the Imperial Knights would be ahead, the Special Task Force mbers didn't back down.
No, they couldn't back down.
“They're coming!”
“Be tense, those things aren't ordinary.”
“Look who's talking.”
Conlan and Albino laughed ferociously and drew their respective weapons.
Alicia also drew her sword with a heavy gaze and shouted.
“Eyes!”
It was just a single shout, but with just that, Conlan and Albino shut their eyes tight as if they knew what would happen.
Flash!
And with a flashing light from Alicia's hand, the Inquisitor's magic was activated, enveloping the area in radiance.
“Ugh!”
“It's magic!”
Right then, when the Arkendale Imperial Knights hadn't fully hidden their confusion at the sudden occurrence.
“Crush them all!”
The Special Task Force mbers rushed in all at once.
***
Edric always emphasized that a proud mber of the 4th Special Task Force should know how to use all kinds of weapons to respond in any situation.
Naturally, spearmanship was no exception, and I could handle a spear to so extent.
Of course, if asked whether it was enough to work against an opponent of the Supre King's level, the answer would be negative, so this fight had to rely purely on the weapon's performance, the power of the Postponer of Ruin, and Demonic energy.
“Hup!”
Boom!
Boom-boom-boom!!
The tip of the Holy Spear Brionac, wrapped in Demonic energy, stabbed consecutively toward the Supre King.
Swish-swish-swish!
“Magnificent! Postponer of Ruin!”
The Supre King burst into maniacal laughter and parried the tip of the Holy Spear Brionac, which was even wrapped in Demonic energy, with his bare hands.
Tzzt-tzzt-tzzt!!!
Every ti the Holy Spear Brionac, wrapped in both the power of the Postponer of Ruin and Demonic energy, collided with the Supre King's hand wrapped in Demonic energy, intense sparks flew.
Ziiing─
The hand holding the spear that was struck by the Supre King's hand tingled.
It felt like I would lose hold of the spear right away, but I endured the pain of my grip tearing apart and held onto the spear with Demonic energy.
‘Damn bastard.’
A fierce offense and defense continued.
Under normal circumstances, it is nonsensical for and the Supre King to engage in close combat.
Level 6 and Level 8.
There existed a trendous gap in this level difference that couldn't be explained simply by numbers, and naturally, a fight couldn't be established.
Nevertheless, the reason I could stand against the Supre King was simple.
Tzzt, Tzztzzt──!
The Supre King isn't a Demonic person, but he absorbed so many Ascension Stone Fragnts that he corresponds to a Demonic person.
Therefore, he harbored Demonic energy far superior to that of a general Demonic person, and that was bound to be greatly disadvantageous in terms of compatibility for the Postponer of Ruin, who stands at the opposite point of the Demonic.
Because the stronger the Demonic beca, the stronger the power of the Postponer of Ruin opposing it also beca.
On the other hand, the Demonic energy I use is mixed with the Destruction Dragon's Demonic energy, and just wrapping this around the whole body corrodes the opponent's body.
The opponent's Demonic energy becos a weakness for , but the Demonic energy I use becos a strength instead.
This unreasonable compatibility difference was making it possible to overco the trendous level difference between Level 6 and Level 8.
“Magnificent! Very magnificent!”
The Supre King couldn't hide his admiration repeatedly and swung his fist at .
Boom-boom-boom!!
A storm of imnse force raged, as if my whole body would burst apart at once if hit.
I dodged what I could among them, but I had no choice but to take all the attacks I couldn't dodge.
[‘Orb of Water’ protects the wearer.]
[‘Orb of Water’ deploys ‘Rotating Shield of Water’.]
Craaaaash!!!───
As the Supre King's fist wrapped in Demonic energy struck the Orb of Water's power, the Orb of Water shook violently.
Normally, the Orb of Water that took this level of power often had its power deactivated, but as the power of the Postponer of Ruin strongly supported it, the power of the Orb of Water also lasted quite a long ti.
“An elental orb indeed. Quite annoying.”
The Supre King's montum beca even more intense.
It was obvious that the Orb of Water would be deactivated in an instant if I left the defense solely to the Orb of Water, so I actively went on the offensive.
Crackle-crackle!
Craaaaash─!!!
Just like the Holy Spear Brionac wrapped in Demonic energy, every ti it collided with the Supre King's fist clad in Demonic energy, intense sparks flew and a large shockwave occurred.
It's not just because I beca stronger.
Because the opponent called the Supre King is too strong, the power of the Postponer of Ruin opposing him is also being exerted strongly unprecedentedly.
To the extent that even I, the owner of this power, am surprised by its might.
‘I expected it, but to think it would be this much…….’
The biggest basis among the reasons I could co to et the Supre King alone is the Postponer of Ruin trait.
The Demonic that the Supre King harbored was too mighty, and there was a belief that the power of the Postponer of Ruin would be exerted strongly against such a Supre King.
And right now, in the fight with the Supre King, the power of the Postponer of Ruin was being exerted strongly beyond what I had imagined.
No, I even felt like it was getting stronger and stronger even now.
‘The problem is that even so, the Supre King isn't being pushed back even a little.’
I had already played a considerable number of the cards I could play.
Although there are a few cards left, they are literally things to be used as a trump card or a last resort.
Nevertheless, the Supre King still seed to be hiding a lot.
No, he's bound to have hidden cards.
‘First, make him play the cards he’s hiding.’
In the World of Justice, a fight between a player and a player inevitably becos a strategic composition where they show the cards they possess to each other.
Then, it is a matter of course that the more I make the opponent play the cards they are hiding, the more advantageous it becos.
‘Lion.’
[Yes.]
Sacrificing the Demonic energy that gathered slowly as a price, soon Spirit Magic occurs.
Spirit Magic.
Self-Entanglent.
The Spirit Magic that I had used once when dealing with a Demonic person before was exerted, and the Demonic energy the Supre King was wearing began to bind the Supre King instead, like living snakes.
Crack, craaack──!
“Hmm?”
Perhaps even the Supre King hadn't expected the Demonic Spirit's Magic, as he revealed a slightly flustered look for the first ti.
“……Interesting. What magic is this?”
This magic was bound to be unfamiliar.
Because the existence of a Demonic Spirit itself would be rare enough to be counted on one hand within the World of Justice.
“Do you want to know?”
“Do you have any intention of telling ?”
“As if.”
The ferocious Demonic energy originating from the Supre King now beca shackles binding the Supre King instead.
The Supre King struggled to escape the magic of Self-Entanglent, but what constituted this magic was none other than the Supre King's Demonic energy.
Naturally, the more he did so, the stronger the shackles of Self-Entanglent pressured the Supre King.
“It seems you won't be able to escape easily.”
Whether the Supre King blabbered or not, I had no intention of missing the opportunity now.
Swaaish!
The Holy Spear Brionac, wrapping Demonic energy and the power of the Postponer of Ruin simultaneously, rushed toward the Supre King.
The Supre King also tried to move his body to block it, but due to the magic of Self-Entanglent, his movent was bound to be restricted.
Puk─!
The tip of the Holy Spear Brionac pierced the Supre King's right shoulder.
I aid for the heart, but even in the unnatural situation, the Supre King had dodged it.
“……I acknowledge it, Postponer of Ruin. You are an enemy worth this Supre King dealing with seriously.”
“Doesn't an I'll go easy on you.”
Gripping the Holy Spear Brionac firmly, I took a stance again to stab his heart for sure this ti.
‘I'll end it with this.’
If I couldn't end it with this, I didn't know what move the Supre King would use, so I put my everything into this one blow.
Crack, craaack……!
Raising the power of Haima's Pendant to the limit, veins bulged all over my body, and fierce Demonic energy rose as if to swallow myself.
The tip of the Holy Spear Brionac trembled intensely due to the Demonic energy.
Swaaaaish───!!!
The tip of the Holy Spear Brionac flew toward the Supre King's heart.
To pierce his heart for sure this ti.
Just before the tip of the Holy Spear touched the Supre King's heart.
“Contract Declaration.”
Along with the incantation of the Supre King recited in a low voice, the world stopped for a mont.
To be exact, it felt like that.
When the ti that felt stopped began to flow again, the tip of the Holy Spear Brionac couldn't advance further as if it had stopped in that spot.
“……I didn't know you would make pay this kind of price, Postponer of Ruin.”
The Supre King, who was holding the shaft of the Holy Spear Brionac before I knew it, looked at .
“I, have lost a lot.”
The shaft of the Holy Spear Brionac that the Supre King was holding gradually blurred.
“And will lose a lot.”
The Holy Spear Brionac, whose duration had completely ended, disappeared completely.
To use Weapon Reproduction, I had to hold out against the Supre King for the remaining cooldown ti.
‘Not good.’
I don't know exactly what contract the Supre King made with which demon.
However, what was clear was that after the contract ended, the magic of Self-Entanglent was torn off entirely.
‘Should I use the magic of Self-Entanglent one more ti?’
However, if the Supre King nullified the magic of Self-Entanglent again, the risk was quite large.
The amount of Demonic energy sacrificed as a price for the magic of Self-Entanglent was very large, and due to that, the amount of Demonic energy remaining in right now wasn't that much.
If I used the Self-Entanglent magic one more ti, it was clear that all the Demonic energy I possessed would run out.
‘First, I should try to hold out as much as I can.’
I lifted the AKR-74 Assault Rifle again, which I had been carrying on my back.
Since the 30 rounds loaded earlier still remained, I still had ans to fight.
Furthermore, what the attack earlier left on the Supre King wasn't just a wound.
Sssss…….
“……Hmm?”
The movent of the Supre King, who seed like he would rush at right away, stopped.
It was due to the anomaly happening in the wound pierced by the Holy Spear Brionac.
Srrk─
The Supre King's right shoulder, stabbed by the Holy Spear Brionac, began to die black as if rotting while alive.
