Chapter 346
“Die!”
Shouting at the top of my lungs, I concentrated the explosion of thousands of fighter jets to the Demon Lord . However, the Demon Lord’s vigor didn’t diminish and in fact, increased .
[As if I’ll be taken out by something like this!]
The Demon Lord’s shout of anger cut through the explosion and rang in my ear . His large bat-like wings spread open and a burst of demonic energy began to devour the damage from the fighter jets’ explosions .
[I will not yield!]
“Is it me or is that guy still powering up?”
When I murmured in a half-joking manner, Licorice narrowed her eyes and glared at me .
“It’s because Dear Husband is too strong . Compared to humans, demons are organisms with no limit . As long as they have the talent, they can grow extremely quickly . ”
“Why are you telling me that now?”
“I didn’t think Dear Husband would get so strong . ”
Eventually, the explosions subsided . The Demon Lord appeared from within, his clothes tattered and his body wrought with wounds . Still, the amount of power in his power was more than enough to send a chill down my back .
[Die . ]
“Ek!”
In an instant, I got in front of Father . Steel let out a black light, and I spat out a mouthful of black blood . The Demon Lord curled his mouth into a smile .
[Good defense . I wonder how long you can keep it up . ]
“What’s he doing now, Licorice?”
“If I knew, I’d be the Demon Lord, not a Succubus Empress . I do have a guess… Language spell . ”
Language spell?
“It skips over all the annoying steps in invoking a magic and manifests whatever’s on the caster’s mind . It’s mana costly but extremely fast and powerful . ”
[Fall . ]
This time, it’s going for Sumire! A spell that I couldn’t see the start of sent Sumire spiraling down in an instant .
I quickly sent a wave of aura to catch her, but the Demon Lord’s tentacles of demonic energy flew over to cut it off . Father swung his spear at the tentacles and shouted .
“You keep doing unmanly things!”
[You can die too . ]
“Ha!”
It seemed Father got a feel for his attack with the previous one . After creating a powerful vibration in the air, he twisted his body meticulously . Other than coughing out a mouthful of blood like I did, he wasn’t injured .
“Unless the source of an attack is internal, there’s bound to be a change in external energy . Predicting his attack isn’t hard, just that…”
[Continue dodging then!]
I understood what Father was worried about . Numerous attacks that came consecutively! I quickly moved my metallic fragments around, but it seemed the Demon Lord’s attacks weren’t something the fragments could block .
Licorice quickly cast a barrier spell . Of course, even that wasn’t enough to completely block the Demon Lord’s attacks .
“The baits have done their work, so send them back . ”
“Mmm . ”
Kain spoke as he blocked the attack sent his way . Ye-Eun protested angrily .
“I’m not a bait!”
“Bait, don’t trouble Kang Shin and get back . ”
When my name came up, Kali’s energy wavered for a moment . At that moment, the Demon Lord made another attack, and when I pulled her out of the way with a string of aura, Ye-Eun reluctantly nodded .
“Fine, I’ll get back . ”
[As if I’d let you . ]
The Demon Lord was truly shameless . The Demon Lord’s incessant attacks on the weaker members of our party seemed to have irritated Kain, as he hurled his spear towards him .
“Try using that spell again!”
[You think I won’t!?]
In the next moment, the Demon Lord flipped upside down . He was bleeding from his entire body . Meanwhile, Ye-Eun took Sumire and safely got out . Father held his spear up as though he didn’t want to leave, but I bowed and pleaded .
“Father, take care of the ground . There are too many monsters . ”
“Tsk, fine . I wanted to put in a proper blow, but none of my attacks seem to be working anyways… Be safe, Son . ”
“Leave it to me . ”
By the time Father finished leaving the area, the Demon Lord managed to stagger up . The wounds on his body were clearly critical, but it felt like he wouldn’t die no matter how much damage he took . A never-ending stream of demonic energy energized and healed his body .
[Magic reflection, you bastard…!]
“Serves you right . ”
Kain spoke boastingly as he received his spear that flew back into his hand . As his previous attack clearly changed the flow of battle, I gave Kain a thumbs up . However, the Demon Lord concentrated his overflowing demonic energy into his eyes and shouted .
[But it doesn’t look like you can use it a second time…! I acknowledge your strength but in the end, you will also be devoured by me!]
It’s coming again! The Demon Lord’s language spells flew towards from all sides .
To analyze his hardly detectable magic, I rolled my brain . At the same time, the halo on my horns accelerated . A mana of indescribable light rose up around Steel .
[I see, so that’s your final weapon! That incomprehensible mana… How can you wield that power?]
“Because it’s originally mine . ”
I retorted casually and accelerated the concentration of mana . Though it was impossible to see his language spells and break them, strengthened to the limit by Enigma, Steel was withstanding his attacks . The Demon Lord asked in doubt .
[Your power…?]
“It’s in the same realm as gods’ power, but in truth, it’s no different than gods’ power . Enigma is just a different form of it . ”
When I obtained a halo, I truly understood Enigma . Although the halo itself was still a mystery, I knew it was a mark that my League had taken a step into the next realm .
Because of it, I learned that I could wield Enigma with my own power . The Overlord skill simply gave me a sample of the power I would come to wield . Of course, if I didn’t grow since the time I obtained Overlord, I wouldn’t have learned to wield it .
In any case, I didn’t think this was the power Sherafina wanted from me . If it was, the Demon Lord would have reacted differently, and this much was something Loretta could also do .
Additionally, wielding this power didn’t make me a god . It could be a requirement to becoming a god but in the end, it was on the same realm as the dungeon’s power Sherafina had .
[But a power only holds meaning when it works against an enemy . Your mana is indeed lethal and resembles those damned gods! But it will become mine in the end!]
“Bastard, how are you so greedy!?”
Spells continued to fly without stopping . I spread my arms out and released Enigma out in all directions . Now, I felt like I was beginning to understand how his language spells worked . Converting my mana to bullets of aura, I shot them at the Demon Lord .
“Kain, Licorice! Restrain him for a moment!”
“Hmph . ”
Kain held his spear up even as he snorted, while Licorice immediately set out with Divine Speed . Approaching the Demon Lord in an instant, Enigma was also gathering on her hands .
[What!?]
“It’s Dear Husband’s power, so I can use it when we’re together!”
Licorice scratched at the Demon Lord, which he blocked with his hand . Meanwhile, Kain charged towards him on Sleipnir and stabbed his spear in from his blind spot . The Demon Lord’s demonic energy exploded fiercely and pushed them back . All the while, his language spells continued to shoot at them .
[Die!]
“Eit!”
While Licorice and Kain resisted his language spells, this time, countless beads of demonic energy rose up in the sky . Having absorbed all negative energy on Earth, the beads were emitting a chilling light .
[I am the king of all evil!]
“Kyak!”
“Kuk!”
The two of them couldn’t dodge this attack . Still, remembering my request to restrain the Demon Lord, they protected me from the beads with their bodies .
“I’m good now!”
At that moment, a flood of metallic fragments swept over the Demon Lord . It happened right after Licorice and Kain were sent back from the explosion of demonic energy . The Demon Lord detonated more demonic energy to stop the metallic fragments, and from the outside, it seemed as though my attack had little effect .
“… D-Dear Husband, you asked us to restrain him for just that?”
“Did you make an error somewhere?”
Licorice and Kain looked at me dumbfoundedly . I replied with a shrug . Licorice nodded in understanding when I transferred some of my consciousness to her, but Kain still seemed clueless .
However, the mystery was soon solved .
[… Kuhuk!]
The metallic fragments were indeed powerful, but they didn’t have enough power to deal a fatal blow to someone like the Demon Lord .
However, after the metallic fragments were destroyed by the exploding demonic energy, the Demon Lord became pale and oozed out black demonic energy from his body . This demonic energy didn’t come out of his own will, but because it wasn’t under his control .
[Y-You…! What did you do to me!?]
“Wow . ”
I spoke in awe .
“You were right about this curse . Not even the Demon Lord can shake it off!”
Right, the metallic fragments I just used carried the blood of the last demon I killed in Luka continent . I was sure he’d be happy if he knew his curse came in useful .
[Something like this… Something like this!]
The Demon Lord’s horn shrunk . In return, his demonic energy exploded in several places . Seeing explosions that could ruin a world, Licorice screamed .
“What do we do, Dear Husband! He’s gotten even crazier!”
“But it’ll work now . That curse cut down his League by a step . ”
“Work? What will? …Kyak!”
Licorice, who turned towards me, screamed as she blushed . Worried that it was too much, I asked Dortu to create a mirror for me to see .
A woman of unsurpassable peerless beauty was reflected in the mirror .
“Oh . ”
I exclaimed in surprise . Then, I was surprised once more at the voice I uttered . All I did was transform into a woman with my power!
“I have to admit, I’m quite beautiful . What do you think, Demon Lord?”
[Y-You are… Hero!?]
The explosions subsided slightly . Seeing the Demon Lord noticeably flustered, I winked at him and shouted .
“Lilith’s Temptation!”
