Chapter 100 Assassination of Matthew (2)

The informant, who was still sitting and observing the conflict, sighed and stared blankly.

As she turned her head to look at her, I nodded once.

'······

It finished better than I expected.'

Even if Ashel wins, I expected the combat to be more challenging, but it was done in a second. That was also a flawless win with no injuries.

Her progress, which was far more than imagined, filled me with pride and happiness.

"Excellent work."

I examined Ma Thapju's corpse after causing difficulty for the woman who approached me.

He died instantaneously because his neck fell off without any further investigation. He died and was no longer able to view the level.

I calmed down after discovering that he was indeed deceased.

'Are you still in this state?'

Flaveros Matapju appeared in the future as a villain who not only conducted demon research but also contracted with demons.

Furthermore, it is not with regular demons, but with one of the 'won horses,' the greatest leaders of the demon camp.

'That's why, until shortly before he died, he wielded demon strength and toiled tirelessly till the end.'

But, given that this was not the case, I assumed that the pact with the demons had not yet been fulfilled.

However, I killed the wizard with this, thus the overlord's mission is complete.

I glanced away, relieved, because it was more easy and safer than I had anticipated.

It was time to assess the remaining wizards and plan how to deal with them.

woo woo.

"···········?"

I was surprised and turned around.

A jet-black energy suddenly erupted from Ma Thap-body ju's and was collecting in the air.

Detrodemyan

'What exactly is that?'

I was perplexed as I saw the spectacle develop in front of my eyes.

An inexplicable force was constantly emanating from the deceased Ma Thapju's body.

······horsepower? Despite the fact that everything is magical, there is a subtle feeling of diversity.

An foreboding and repulsive atmosphere that makes you feel sick just by glancing at it.

I wondered if that was the master's final move, but he was certainly dead.

The energy crawled in the air as if it had its own desire to move.

I returned my gaze to the magicians in the tower.

They, too, appeared perplexed, as if they had no idea what was going on.

What happened next was even more unexpected.

Whoops!

The immensely accumulated energy reached out like a tentacle and penetrated Ma Thap-corpse. ju's

When it wrapped around the black stem like a vine, the red energy was absorbed into the core of the energy.

The corpse of Matap-ju then began to wither. It appeared like not a single trace of life had been left behind.

"······································································!

Have you now absorbed your life force?

The strange image jolted me awake. What is the name of that mysterious energy?

Individuals who made a deal with the demons will be punished in various ways.

It might be power, soul, life force, or all of these things together.

As the contractor's life is cut short, the demons eagerly grab whatever they can from him.

As a result, it was obvious that the source of the energy in front of me was demonic force.

I assumed Matappu had not yet signed a contract, but this was not the case.

At the same time, I felt a goose bump rise up my spine.

For I knew exactly who the demons that struck a deal with Flaveros' Matap Master were.

'·······Detrodemyan.'

Wonma, the demon tribe's supreme leader.

7th in the demon hierarchy and the 7th strongest demon overall.

He was the actual identity of the demon that struck a deal with Flaveros' Magician.

aah!

This time, the energy spread its branches in all directions. In the direction of me and Ashel.

I extended a floating veil to avoid touch, and Ashel took her blade and severed it.

Unfortunately, the wizards on the opposite side were unable to avoid the energy's strike.

The energy softly pierced even their protection and punctured their bodies.

"Kuhhh…!"

The magicians that became involved in the aura shrivelled up like mummies and perished in an instant, much like the previous magician.

The energy that had absorbed all of their vitality glistened, blending the original jet black and crimson hues.

I was just keeping an eye on the situation. Because I was at a loss for what to do in this case.

'Should I shut down my mind and just walk away?'

The goal was to murder the master, and he had no idea what the demons who had contracted with him were up to. In the first place, there was nothing I couldn't accomplish.

The energy that climbed high in the sky soon began to travel in a certain direction.

For a brief period, I wondered if I could meet Detrodemyan if I followed the energy's path. That will suffice if you ride a belt dragon and chase after it.

But it was a hazardous proposition, so I dropped out right away.

'·······

It is still too soon.'

The demons posed the greatest threat of any race.

Their strength comes from magic, yet their talents are wild and unexpected, like a riddle.

The demons, particularly their original mounts, are opponents that they will all have to confront at some point. Yet the hour had not yet come.

Everyone was aware of Detrodemyan's ability, but he didn't have to take chances or confront challenges when he wasn't ready.

"Please return."

I remarked to Ashel, who was standing still, as if waiting for an order, watching the energy go away.

And it happened just as I was about to reach the tee-location. yong's

"······································································!

A massive surge of magical power was instantly sensed.

I quickly opened the floating curtain.

I thought I saw darkness writhing from afar in the direction the energy was flying, and then a black flame enveloped the entire region like a tidal wave.

uh uh

The area where the flame travelled through was utterly destroyed, and nothing remained.

"What exactly is this?"

Ashel and the informant were taken aback by what they saw.

An attack that occurred unexpectedly.

That was such a tremendous and overwhelming force that even Ma Thap-previous Joo's magic was unmatched.

Tiyong was thankfully out of range since he was far from where I was standing, and the two were shielded by a veil.

Keek!

In wonder, he flew over and landed next to me.

With a grim expression, I looked to one side.

'This is entirely out of the usual.'

Following the final emergency call, my heart was filled with stress and a sense of impending disaster.

I never expected him to be that close... What the heck is the point?

Shortly after, I noticed a figure gently walking from the other side of the darkness.

Having light grey skin and one head taller than the typical human.

[Lv. 96]

Detrodemyan, you're a raw horse.

The man who emerged quietly in front of me gave me a glum expression.

Its tremendous and terrifying energy was greater than that of the kings. Just by glancing at the level, you could tell.

The man who had been silently making eye contact with me moved his focus to the corpse of the deceased Matapju.

His mouth soon opened.

"You are Calderic's seventh Lord."

"············".

"I'll have to question him about why he murdered my contractor." Is that the will of your overlord?"

I just gazed at him, without answering the question. No, I noticed.

There was something like a black flame sweeping over the world around him, but he understood what that ability was.

scornful fire. It is one of its special skills that destroys everything it touches.

"I'll murder you if you don't respond."

Smiling at the sound of the man's indescribably dry voice, I opened my mouth.

"Would you just go the way you were going if you answered me?"

The man lifted his brows gradually.

"Of course not," you say. You're going to die here."

It was the expected response.

The foul energy he felt from him got stronger as it combined with homicidal purpose.

I swore inside and braced myself for war.

"Take a step back."

Asher, who had become somewhat pale at my remarks, returned my gaze and nodded.

She drew her sword again and took a step back. He knew he wasn't going to do it right away.

No matter how much she matured, it was now nothing but power and a barrier. Because the adversary was the adversary.

'What the hell is that guy doing here?'

Did you even visit Matapju? So did the timing happen by chance?

The conflict could not be averted under any circumstances. He appeared to have a great desire to murder me already.

I returned my attention to T-yong.

Because of the Wyvern's nature, he would not ordinarily ride other people on his back without me, but now was not the time to dispute that.

"Take these two and go as far as you possibly can."

Like a wise man, he saw the gravity of the situation and nodded his head without being obstinate.

Ashel grabbed the informant and leaped high up on Thiyong's back.

He was afraid about Detrodemyan's onslaught, but he merely stood there, as if he had no intention of preventing it.

The thi-yong carrying the two of them soared up with all their power and flew away to the other side of the night sky in an instant.

"Give it your all. They're all going to die regardless."

Using a blood talent, I accidently blasted a drop of blood towards him.

Nevertheless, the drop of blood burnt as soon as it came into contact with the black flame that surrounded it, rendering it unusable.

'tt.'

It would be absurd to use an instant death only if the flames were wrapped around it like a shield.

He waved his palm and, like before, fired out massive flames in the shape of waves.

I raised the floating veil to deflect the onslaught once more. After that, he transported backwards.

It was impossible to fight against an onslaught that was too rapid to react to, so it was stretched a bit further.

"Isn't it a mystery, rather than magic?"

This time, the man who spoke like that expanded his palm and clutched it strongly.

At the same time, a purple energy emerged around me, shaking like a haze.

I felt a tenderness and took another narrow jump into space.

Wow!

When I transported, a wave of distorted and compressed purple energy enveloped the area where I was standing.

A portion of the ground and shrubs inside the area of purple energy vanished as they were, and the border was sliced cleanly. It seemed as though the space itself had been severed.

'I'm making room.'

Detrodemyan possessed this talent in addition to the Flame of Contempt.

Because it has the power to physically carve off the space itself, the reaction was a little late, and if swept away, it would have vanished as it was. Even in the game, that was a near-instant death attack.

Whoa!

The following strike came in without a pause.

He just stood there, swinging his hands and attacking, but I didn't have any wiggle room.

I dodged and deflected the oncoming flames and the unexpected purple electricity.

He was fully aware that he wasn't releasing all of his strength even now, despite the fact that he was barely hanging on.

Because I was aware that it has powers other than Flame of Contempt and Space Sever.

'What?'

The issue was that I lacked the resources to counterattack him.

It simply takes one point of contact. Of course, quick killing would also work for him.

Yet communication was out of the question. Until the blood magic was entirely blocked by the flames, there was no way to touch him.

The only method I could think of to establish direct touch with him was to employ space jump rather than blood magic...

'It's not even worth it,' she says.

In that circumstance, his entire body had no choice except to be directly exposed to the gnome's flame.

In short, it was an approach I had to attempt with my life.

But, it was predicted that if we wasted time in this manner, we would inevitably be beaten one day.

We need to witness the contest as soon as possible before he employs his other powers to demonstrate his might...

"There is nothing I can do."

I can't help but believe in Super Rebirth and do something.

I decided to take a space leap the moment I stopped the rushing flame.

He teleported to the middle of the scorching black flame, which was only a short distance away.

"······································································!

All across his body, he felt pain he'd never felt before.

What appeared in front of him was an arm with no apparent flesh, scorching in an instant like a black flame. Even the white bones were visible.

Yet I still can't open the hovering veil.

In the darkness, his eyesight became quickly impaired. I extended out my hand as planned, just grasping the distant consciousness.

The moment after a moment of astonishment in his eyes, my hand finally touched his body.
