Chapter 349: translated
I Killed the Demon King. It Was a Mistake.
Chapter 349
"Aaaaargh!"
Colton couldn't control his acceleration and rolled on the ground. Even more painful was his knee that had bent backward. Was it because he overexerted himself using flash movement?
No. Clearly, his right knee bent backward before he could even feel his foot touch the ground. Colton saw a shadow cast over him.
It was Andras. Colton was so terrified he couldn't breathe.
"You were a knight with quite fast legs."
"You, you are......"
Andras threw a punch toward his own right face. His nose broke, his mouth was crushed, and blood flowed out.
"Aaaaargh!"
"Aaaaargh!"
As a blood-mixed scream burst from Andras' face, a scream also erupted from Colton's mouth. Tears flowed from Andras' eyes from the terrible pain.
"But how could you run without legs?"
"Ah, devil...!"
Andras reached out, opened the bleeding mouth on his face, and slowly began to pull out the tongue. Then Colton's tongue also began to be slowly pulled out simultaneously.
"Mmph! Mmph!"
"I clearly stated that I am not a devil but a noble, Andras."
Whoosh!
When Colton's tongue was pulled out, blood spurted forth.
"Aaaaaaaah!"
Andras threw the pulled tongue on the ground like trash.
"I'd like to pull out each tooth one by one, but......"
Andras made a gesture.
Then a black knight wearing a dark helmet walked out from Andras' shadow.
"I have much to say, but I'll end your punishment here."
Slash!
As the black knight's sword was drawn, Colton's head flew off. The black knight shook the blood off his sword and put it back in its scabbard.
Seeing this, Pio's eyes filled with questions.
"......That."
"What is it?"
Pio carefully observed the black knight's stance and the way he held his sword.
"It seems familiar somehow......"
Pio thought of someone who came to mind in a flash but shook his head. It couldn't possibly be that person with Andras.
After Colton died, Andras' broken leg and bleeding face returned to normal.
"Now that you seem ready to listen, I will speak. People of Homigraph."
Everyone swallowed hard and focused on Andras' words. One wrong move and their tongues could be pulled out and necks broken without knowing why.
"I have received only one order from His Majesty Denver. To burn Sapientia and Homigraph and exterminate all of you."
As Andras gestured, devils revealed themselves from the bushes. The number of devils seemed at least twice as many as those who had invaded before.
"But I am a cultured wizard. I don't like unnecessary bloodshed. So I will open a path of survival for you."
Andras pointed to the main gate of Homigraph.
"I will give you exactly 12 hours. Every person who comes out through that gate within 12 hours will not be harmed by me. This is a promise I declare as the king of Sodom, and I will absolutely keep it."
"But if you don't come out after 12 hours, I guarantee you will meet the most horrible end."
Andras bent one finger. Then the finger of a knight behind Gloria bent backward.
"Ugh!"
Andras punched his own face. Then screams erupted from another location. It was from where the wizards were.
Aaaagh!
Andras broke his own nose and bent his arms and legs.
Screams burst out from various places on the castle walls.
People's faces turned pale with terror.
"So make a wise choice."
Andras' four faces smiled as he stepped back.
Ding!
At that moment, sparks flew in the air in front of Andras. A spear that had flown from Homigraph had accurately targeted Andras, but the black knight had reflexively blocked it.
The black knight looked toward where the spear had come from. There stood Yugar Hironeel.
"What a classic threat. Do you think such shallow intimidation will work?"
Yugar descended from a building riding Garum. Despite jumping down from the top of the building in one go, there was no sound of landing at all.
"Yugar Hironeel."
Andras looked at Yugar with an interested expression and smiled.
"Why has the northern watchdog come all the way down here?"
"A foolish question. I am the fang that protects the Eileen Empire and humanity. Where the enemy of humanity is, that is where I am. Why do you wonder about my whereabouts?"
"Interesting."
Andras stretched his hand toward Yugar.
"My knight."
The black knight raised his sword toward Hironeel.
"Bring me the head of this stray dog who doesn't know his place."
Garum sprinted toward the black knight.
A normal person would have frozen in fear if a wolf as large as a bear charged at them head-on with bared teeth. However, the black knight under Andras' command seemed to have had his fear itself removed as he met Yugar's greatsword head-on.
Bang!
When sword met sword, there was a sound like a bomb exploding. Yugar's eyebrow twitched. It was because the black knight had received Yugar's greatsword head-on without being blown away.
He had never seen anyone who could stand still and withstand an attack with full acceleration. Yugar saw tentacles extending from behind the black knight. The tentacles, which looked like tough vines, were firmly supporting the black knight's entire body to prevent him from being blown away by Yugar's attack.
When the black tentacles tried to grab Garum's body, Yugar broke away from Garum.
"Garum, go back!"
Yugar's judgment was swift, and Garum was faithful to Yugar's command. Garum skillfully avoided the tentacles that were stretching out one after another and escaped.
The tentacles weren't only reaching out to Garum. A tentacle stretched out from the gaps in the Black Knight's armor and caught Yugar's leg. Yugar lost balance and fell.
As expected, the Black Knight's sword came flying. At that moment, Luminion Fury exploded and gathered in Yugar's left hand. A shield formed, covering Yugar's upper body with plenty to spare.
Clang!
The Black Knight's sword was blocked in vain, and Luminion Fury's blue-green blade aimed for the Black Knight's lower body. The Black Knight instinctively stretched out tentacles to block it, but the result of underestimating the cutting power of the awakened magical sword Luminion Fury was fatal.
Slash!
The tentacle was completely cut off, simultaneously blowing away both of the Black Knight's legs. Purple blood spurted from the Black Knight's legs.
After a moment, his body was about to collapse, but tentacles from the Black Knight's body held it up to prevent him from falling. Yugar didn't miss the opportunity and swung Luminion Fury.
The Black Knight received Yugar's Luminion Fury.
Boom!
The Black Knight's tentacle broke and flew backward. This was because a piece of Yugar's armor 'Frost Blade' had already cut the Black Knight's tentacle halfway.
Luminion Fury vibrated strongly. Luminion Fury seemed excited after swallowing the devil's blood. Yugar got up and looked at the Black Knight.
Despite the shock, the Black Knight recovered well. The tentacles extending from his body intertwined with each other and created two legs. Unlike the two legs that regenerated instantly, he seemed unable to regenerate the cut-off armor, so he stood barefoot and raised his sword.
Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap!
Andras' four pairs of arms clapped simultaneously.
"It seems the name Wolf King is not a misnomer."
"Do you think I would be defeated by your toy?"
Yugar's golden eyes flashed. Unprecedented power surrounded Yugar's body, and a maddening hunger welled up.
"Wait. I'll soon bite off your neck."
When Yugar charged, the ground exploded.
Moving forward with a huge shield in front, it felt like a shell was flying. Yugar rammed into the Black Knight. The Black Knight stretched tentacles backward to block it just like before.
But a large hole appeared in the great shield, and Luminion Fury's sharp blade forced its way in. The Black Knight instinctively pulled back his sword and hit Luminion Fury with the pommel.
The direction of Luminion Fury, which was thrusting straight in, twisted slightly, but succeeded in stabbing the side of his body.
Plunge!
Luminion Fury began to greedily swallow the devil's blood. Luminion Fury let out a cry of joy, and the Black Knight's tentacles screamed.
Luminion Fury swallows not only Yugar's blood but also the enemy's blood.
The denser the amount of magic mixed in the blood, the sharper and more powerful Luminion Fury becomes.
Moreover, because devil blood inherently has high magic, it was no different than the best tonic from Luminion Fury's perspective. The tentacles struggled to survive somehow. Yugar blocked all the dozens of tentacles flying in with Frost Blades. Yugar pushed the blade deeper into the Black Knight's body. Yugar saw the purple pupils visible through the gap in the helmet.
The more blood was sucked by Luminion Fury, the clearer his pupils became.
"......Yugar?"
For the first time, words came out of the Black Knight's mouth. It was a tone that seemed to know Yugar. Yugar didn't hear his words. This was because he was concentrating all his nerves on the Frost Blade to block the tentacles flying in from all directions.
The Black Knight's sword moved. The Black Knight's sword pushed Luminion Fury to the side.
Swoosh!
The Black Knight's side was torn out entirely, spilling blood and tentacles. Yugar was not one to let go of an advantage once gained.
Yugar pressed him fiercely.
Thud!
When Luminion Fury and the Black Knight's sword collided, an empty sound was heard.
Yugar's sword, which was aiming for the neck, lost its trajectory and stabbed into the ground.
Kwang!
Yugar inserted the shield blade into the guy's chest. But he blocked it with surprisingly refined swordsmanship. Not stopping there, he pushed his sword toward Yugar's open side.
Yugar summoned a few pieces of Frost Blade to block his attack.
Swoosh!
But his sword suddenly bent like a snake, squeezed between the Frost Blades, and cut Yugar's chest.
'......How?'
His swordsmanship had become amazingly precise. He clearly relied more on tentacles than his sword, and relied on brute force rather than swordsmanship.
But now, like a seasoned knight, he penetrated the gaps in the Frost Blade and cut Yugar's chest.
Yugar began to press him, leading with his shield. His recovery speed had significantly slowed. Although his recovery ability was remarkable enough to restore both legs in 1 second, the tentacles flowing out of his side only writhed without healing perfectly.
This was because Luminion Fury had sucked away even the Black Knight's recovery power. The Black Knight's pattern changed. The Black Knight almost never used tentacles anymore and busily moved his sword and two legs.
He blocked Yugar's Luminion Fury and the Frost Blades flying in from all directions with an incredible swift sword.
Not only was he simply fast but also experienced, considering the position of the frost blade, moving his two legs busily to maintain the most advantageous position.
Nevertheless, he couldn't withstand Yugar's amazing physical abilities using 'Hunger' and the Luminion Fury that had consumed plenty of devil blood.
Clang!
The Luminion Fury pierced through the shield and thrust toward him. It was a pattern the Black Knight had already anticipated, but his reaction was slow because he had already suffered a fatal wound.
Thud!
A small sword made of frost blade was shot toward the Black Knight's helmet. The Black Knight turned his head, but his helmet was knocked off.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
The Black Knight's face was revealed as his helmet flew away. Yugar couldn't help but be surprised when he saw the face hidden inside the helmet.
"Count Vex?"
Count Vex's pupils dilated.
"......What?"
Count Vex looked at his own face reflected in the blade.
"I am...... Vex?"
Yugar's face distorted like a wild beast's.
"Count Vex! You bastard! Consorting with devils!"
Yugar's Luminion Fury, imbued with rage, flew toward Count Vex. Count Vex evaded the Luminion Fury's blade. At the same time, he turned to Yugar's right and immediately prepared to launch a counterattack.
A change occurred in Count Vex's sword as he was about to strike back. This was because dozens of frost blade fragments flew toward Count Vex in an instant.
A purple aura surrounded Count Vex's sword.
55555Flower Petal Cutting
Form 3
Falling Flower
The Falling Flower realized in Count Vex's hand was different from the Falling Flower seen before.
The aura extending from the sword scattered like beautiful cherry blossom petals.
Thud, thud!
The frost blades that met the cherry blossom petals fell to the ground like raindrops.
However, they precisely missed the spot where Count Vex was standing. Yugar pierced through the cherry blossom-like aura scattered all around with his shield and rushed toward Count Vex.
Count Vex didn't meet Yugar's shield head-on but dodged it to the side. The Luminion Fury naturally sprang forth, but Count Vex deflected it as if he had anticipated that as well.
The sight of him receiving Yugar's direct and wild swordsmanship with infinitely gentle swordsmanship evoked admiration from the knights watching around them.
However, Count Vex's mind itself was not sound. I understand that I am Count Vex. But where is this place, and why am I fighting with Yugar Hironeel?
And what is this sweet voice resonating in my head?
-Let's become one
-Let's become one... And be comfortable.
The burning pain should awaken reason, but that sweet voice kept dispersing it.
Like waves crashing over a sand castle, Count Vex kept asking himself questions, but no answers came, and he only followed his instincts.
Slash!
At that moment, the tip of the Luminion Fury's blade grazed his horn.
Two horns, each about the size of a finger joint, were cut off, and purple blood flowed out. Then memories came rushing in like a tsunami.
