Chapter 180 : Seven-Star Mage
“Damn it! What is this again……!”
Muno shouted reflexively as he saw the air in front of him turning black.
‘I definitely absorbed all the demonic energy and killed him.’
But wasn't trendous demonic energy pouring out to the point of making him shudder?
‘Where!’
He didn't know what was happening, but there was only one thing to do.
Rattle.
He extended the iron chain to try and absorb the demonic energy in the space turning black.
Woooong.
‘……Damn it.’
The stickily clumped demonic energy was only absorbed in a tiny fraction of its vast amount.
And he had felt such dirty-feeling demonic energy a few tis before.
Right inside the heads of the Demon Cultists.
Demonic energy presud to have been planted by the Demon Cult Leader, who could be called his true enemy.
However.
‘From the body of a dead Magic Knight, how can there be such a large amount……?’
The gamble of dropping the ‘Blade’ filled with his mana had just hit the jackpot, but it was practically the sa as a third party intervening and overturning the board.
When his heart began to pound with anxiety chilling his spine.
- Boom.
The connection was cut off as the ‘Blade’ he had dropped far away was broken by soone else.
‘Kuh!’
As soon as thrilling pain arose from the forcibly broken spell, terrifying killing intent was felt right next to him.
‘Hup!’
The mont he barely twisted his body, a sword pierced the spot where he had been.
Behind the strange sword revealing its translucent material in the darkness dimly lit by moonlight, a shout full of rage was heard.
“Haoran is……!”
“How dare you use shallow tricks!”
The sword strike of the masked figure who followed right next to him continued, and soon he felt another guy rushing from the position where the ‘Blade’ was.
Furthermore.
“Kyaoooooo!”
Even the roar of the demonic beast whose territory was invaded echoed throughout the battlefield.
It was no longer ti to only care about the space occupied by black demonic energy.
‘Damn it!’
Maximum power right now.
Koo-oom.
Enduring the vibration shaking his whole body, he activated Double Acceleration and even Brute Strength.
‘If I can’t absorb other demonic energy, at most 10 minutes.’
Nevertheless.
Kwakwakwang!
Kaa-ang!
“Kuh!”
The enemy's offensive pouring from the front was extinguishing the gray flas flickering on the chains and gauntlets in real-ti, leaving scratches.
While he was busy blocking the sword movents that beca much faster and stronger than before.
Another masked figure approached from behind before he knew it.
Koo-oo-oom.
The huge presence felt behind his back was getting closer and closer.
Even amidst that, he couldn't help but care about the black demonic energy starting to draw a circle at the spot where the Magic Knight fell.
The sense of crisis that he had to escape this place right now thrillingly stimulated his brain, but even that wasn't easy.
Eventually.
‘I’ll push myself one more ti.’
Koo-oom.
With the feeling of turning his whole body into a blade and swinging it.
He poured out energy with full power and cut through the space with his whole body.
If possible.
‘Towards the enemy.’
Swoosh.
The mont he felt the illusion that everything around him had stopped.
Although the translucent sword laden with black demonic energy blocked his way.
‘Pierce through!’
His body, advancing as it was, smashed everything and leaped over 10 ters in an instant.
Space Sprint.
Kaa-boooooooom!
Rumble.
“Kuk!?”
The masked figure bouncing into the air along with the shattered translucent sword.
“Hup!”
He felt another masked figure chasing behind him deviate from the trajectory with wondrous speed and move away, but.
Muno, who should have imdiately applied more force to accelerate, was stumbling on the spot.
“Keu-heok!”
Cough. Cough.
Even though he had recovered by eating one Magic Knight just before, the side effects of using three techniques requiring him to squeeze out all his strength simultaneously ruined his body again in an instant.
‘Huu…….’
He tried to extend the iron chain to the tree again to escape.
The sight of the bounced-off masked figure twisting his body in the air to land again.
The sight of the giant gorilla’s fist approaching.
And even the sight of another masked figure flinching upon seeing it.
Everything looked like slow motion, and among them, the iron chain extending from his hand looked the slowest.
However.
[That’s enough.]
At that mont, a single voice suddenly dominating the battlefield forced everyone to stop.
Cruuunch.
The demonic energy of this northern forest called the demonic realm was completely dominated by thicker and more powerful demonic energy.
That huge flow ford a certain pattern and forcibly stopped the movents of those present on the battlefield.
“Grrrr.”
The giant gorilla, who was trying to punish the intruders causing chaos in its territory, made a nervous cry and tried to move its hand fixed in the air.
[A useless beast has intervened. You must be the one who ruined the job, right?]
A black robe appearing on the battlefield before anyone noticed. A being with only deep darkness visible inside the hood looked up at the giant gorilla and grinned.
No, it felt like it was grinning.
Imdiately.
Slash!
“Kyaaaaaaaaaack!”
Thump.
The giant gorilla’s arm, which seed to easily exceed ten ters, was cut off like soft cake and fell to the ground.
“Kyaack! Grrrrr!”
The gorilla glared at the black robe again with a face distorted in pain, but.
[Get lost.]
At a single voice coming out with a strange resonance, its body trembled, and soon its red eyes, which seed full of rage, lost focus as it turned around and disappeared.
Thump. Thump. Thump.
‘Crazy…….’
Seeing that unbelievable sight, Muno shuddered inwardly at the imasurable, massive demonic energy.
However, his body, fixed in the posture of extending the iron chain toward the high tree, didn't respond to any control.
Woooong.
Muno, whose body had accumulated shock to the limit and whose mana was exhausted, couldn't play any role in front of the massive demonic energy, and the surrounding spirits were holding their breath completely.
However, there were those whose bodies beca free on the contrary.
“We greet the Master of the Green Tower.”
“We greet the Dark Green Mage.”
The masked figures chasing him seed to be released from their stiffness and imdiately prostrated on the spot, showing extre respect towards the black robe.
But the black robe’s reaction was cold.
[Two? Not six? It’s absurd. Did you slaves cause internal strife among yourselves?]
“That is…….”
[Forget it. I thought things would go wrong from the mont they suggested sending only slaves who hadn't even coordinated together.]
The black robe suppressed the top-tier Magic Knights with words close to verbal abuse.
And soon, a pair of green flas burned inside the robe, staring directly at Muno.
[It’s you. The guy the loser Exlam talked about.]
At those words, Muno’s eyes widened slightly.
‘Loser?’
Although the modifier attached to the front was strange, the na of the enemy presud to be the identity of the Demon Cult Leader was ntioned.
But there was no ti to be sentintal with an enemy presud to be Seven-Star in front of him.
‘Move, please!’
He tried to forcibly absorb the demonic energy binding his body.
Grind.
The faintly absorbed demonic energy was imdiately replenished from its source, binding his body even tighter.
[As expected. They said you absorb magic power, and it wasn't a lie. Just what kind of creature are you? Hehe.]
The monster with only a pair of green flas burning inside the hood laughed with a strangely resonant voice.
And.
[You’ll be worth researching. I’m taking this one.]
At the words that followed like a notification, the heads of the two masked figures who were lying flat lifted up.
However.
[This is a spoil of war obtained by ‘’ personally coming here. Other heavy-assed bastards shouldn't dare to claim rights, right?]
At the words of the black robe who didn't even look back, the two masked figures only gritted their teeth and bowed their heads.
[Hmph.]
When the black robe snorted and reached out a hand, Muno’s body moved as if being dragged naturally.
Drag.
‘Eek!’
He tried to endure by absorbing the demonic energy as best as he could, but.
[That little guy is heavier than he looks.]
That was all the reaction the black robe showed.
Soon, as the black robe headed toward the space where demonic energy unfolded in a circle, Muno was swept into it together.
That pitch-black space looked like a monster’s maw to him.
‘Damn it. Damn it. Damn it!’
He couldn't be eaten like this.
- Grrrr.
As his whole body was wrapped in powerful demonic energy and his sense of crisis was stimulated to the extre.
The Demon Devourer in his head escaped control and began to bare its teeth.
It seed the demonic energy of the black robe, more powerful than anything he had ever encountered, stimulated its ferocity.
But that beast-like resonance felt like a straw floating in water to Muno.
Rationally, no solution ca to mind.
‘Perhaps…….’
Following his intuition, he handed over control of his body to the Demon Devourer.
Then.
Crunch.
“Grrrrr.”
Physical strength was amplified by more than 10% in an instant, and the roar echoing in his head began to burst out of his mouth.
Of course.
[Oh?]
Along with a word from the black robe who turned slightly, the more powerful demonic energy blocked his mouth again.
- Grrrr.
Stimulated even more by this, the Demon Devourer opened other mouths.
Click-clack.
Clank. Clank.
Iron teeth were ford on every link of the iron chains extending from his hands and feet, beginning to chew on the invisible demonic energy.
It was just a part of his body changing shape a little.
- Grrrr.
Only the Demon Devourer’s will to devour the demonic energy in front of its eyes granted powerful suction power to that transford form.
Crunch.
A feeling as if taking a big bite out of so of the huge demonic energy surrounding his body.
The completed form of Chain Devouring that Muno had envisioned was properly implented only then.
[……This guy?]
Enough to annoy the black robe.
‘Ha……!’
Muno’s reason, which had stepped back in his consciousness, let out an exclamation.
- Training of the body suitable for the trait…….
As the Dragon Sword Duke’s words ca to mind again and gave inspiration, the body that couldn't find its way with just one last step left to the final goal finally took a step.
Crunch.
Loading gray mana onto the sharp fangs protruding not from armor or iron chains, but directly chewing and swallowing the demonic energy.
That was the final form of evolution Muno had pictured.
Feeling the sensation of intangible energy being digested like a physical entity, Muno beca convinced.
That he had co close to the fifth wall the Dragon Sword Duke ntioned.
However.
Rattle.
[I was watching you, but…….]
As soon as his body, which had shaken off the restraint, tried to move again, much thicker demonic energy began to control his body again.
Only deep annoyance was felt in the green flas of the black robe looking back.
“Grrrr.”
Crunch.
[You are annoying.]
It seed Muno, who shook off the restraint of demonic energy for a mont, only elicited that much appreciation from the Seven-Star Mage.
However.
[Hmm?]
The mont the black robe suddenly tilted its head, a pure white beam of light flew from sowhere, cutting through the space full of demonic energy, and directly hit the black robe.
Kaa-boooooooom!
‘Lauel?’
Muno opened his eyes wide at the familiar wavelength felt within that massive energy.
[Interferer……!]
The mont the annoyance in the black robe’s voice grew even larger.
Flash.
A blue light with a completely different feeling from the one just before cut through the space again and directly hit the black robe.
Kaa-boooooooom!
The firm demonic energy shook slightly at that.
And.
“Run imdiately!!”
At the sa ti a strange voice echoed in the space, a red gale covered the two masked figures who were just about to get up.
Slash.
“Aack!”
“Kkeu-eok!?”
Although the masked figures seed to have dodged vital points even in the sudden situation, blood spurting from their legs was clearly visible.
But rather than that.
“Prince Muno!”
A face too familiar stood out even more.
“Run away!”
Karina?
‘Why here……?’
While surprised by the utterly incomprehensible situation.
[Run? Hmph!]
Muno’s instinct, feeling the huge demonic energy rising from behind his back, reacted first.
Rattle.
His iron chains stretched out not toward the monster behind his back, but toward the front where Karina was.
Towards the prey that would allow him to cross the wall once again, the two masked figures who were clearly slowed down due to leg injuries.
