The Hero Party Couldn’t Kill Me - Chapter 89
Chapter 13: Blanc Magic Tower (7)
“Ahh… Damn you!!!”
Meanwhile, Leviathan has fled into hiding. This place, once used by Edmund, was connected to the magic tower through a portal.
But the portal can only be used by her, so she won’t make it this far. Still, just in case, she teleported her lair to another location.
I took her exhausted body and sat on the sofa. In the chair in front of her sat a woman whose arms and legs had been cut off.
No, it might be more accurate to say that she is leaning on her chair.
Calia looked at Leviathan and asked in a half-sarcastic tone.
“… Did you lose to Edmund too?”
“It was just a strategic retreat.”
“That is defeat.”
Leviathan ignored Calia’s words and closed her eyes.
For nearly a thousand years, she failed and learned like that, but in the end, she failed again.
Where did the problem come from?
Actually, I sewed the wrong button from the beginning.
The previous demon king tried to steal her soul before she awakened as the demon king, but that b*tch resisted to the end.
There were also unexpected variables. In the case of the demon king titan, the demon king acquires the power only after holding the demon sword.
So I cut off both of her arms so she couldn’t hold the magic sword.
But even so, she finally awakened as the demon king, and her severed arms grew back in an instant.
‘Anyway, people from the other world…….’
After all, because of that, she had to do a soul transfer once, and summon another alien to deal with her situation by crying and eating mustard.
However, in order to prevent him from possessing the holy sword, Calia was chosen as the hero on purpose and then summoned an alien.
Edmund, who was summoned like that, didn’t like it from the beginning.
He asked for a means to ensure her safety, and was forced to sign a contract with her because of the pressure from the princess and the other warriors’ party.
After watching him for three years, I concluded that he must be removed. If he fights with Calia, even if he becomes the demon king, he cannot guarantee victory.
Therefore, he induced the foolish saintess to turn her back on Edmund by removing only her appearance from the revelation of the goddess. Thanks to her influence, the entire party of warriors devised a plan to kill her.
But they failed. Leviathan even took the penalty of the contract and gave him time to inflict a fatal blow by casting a binding spell on him, but he managed to escape.
‘… And Marion ruined it all with his crazy head.’
Marion has moderate magical potential, but she has no knowledge yet and she is above all naive.
Her buds had already turned yellow since teaching at her mage tower, but she thought that at least she had to listen to her words carefully.
But stupid Marion read her will late, so even her gisaeng almost failed, and even offered the body of the demon king she had brought to the princess as it was.
She even took Edmund’s closest associates to the Mage’s Tower as disciples.
Nevertheless, she waited patiently. She lives as a parasite on Marion until her soul is fully restored.
When he left for Speth, she thought she had a chance.
Taking advantage of Marion’s sleep, she put even the cloned body of the previous demon king into her resuscitation tank and made her heart beat.
Rafaela was also annoying. However, because of her magical talent, she coveted her soul. In particular, her Dream Construction, if used well, could not only slightly modify the goddess’ revelation, but also completely manipulate it.
So, she thought that if she completely took Marion’s body, she would absorb Raphaella’s soul and take her knowledge.
‘… That was a mistake.’
I never thought that clever b*tch would notice and call Edmund.
And, of course, he was as powerful as we feared.
I couldn’t even eat his horse, and I couldn’t beat him in a one-on-one confrontation without a magic sword.
Even the replica of the magic sword he brought for bluffing was discovered to be fake.
In the end, she had to run away because she couldn’t even show her skills properly at her home ground, the Blanc Ma Tower.
‘In the end, the goddess won’t give me the demonic sword until the end.’
And even now, the demonic sword never showed up.
Leviathan became impatient.
The goddess she thought of was a system without personality, and she judged living things by their bodies, not their souls.
Therefore, she thought that even though she had committed this evil act, she had no choice but to give her the demonic sword according to the algorithm.
She thought so, but she still couldn’t get the demonic sword despite all her struggles, so her doubts arose in her heart.
In the end, is she destined to never acquire the magic sword?
Does karma exist in this world after all?
‘… It happened like this. Let’s wait for the next opportunity.’
In the end, Leviathan made a decision.
I’ll try again after Edmund dies.
Of course, it’s heartbreaking that the magic tower was robbed, but as long as her life was at stake, there was still a chance.
And she still had the magic to summon her aliens.
When you’re trying to make an appointment like that.
Uhhhhh… ….
A black sphere appeared in front of her nose.
Leviathan stepped back from her in surprise at the intimidating feeling as if she was about to suck everything in.
But as the sphere began to emerge from the hilt of her sword, she felt an inexhaustible sense of ecstasy within her.
From the first time she made up her mind to set things right.
How long have you been waiting for this moment to come?
She was right. After all, the goddess was just a system. Breaking through the worst odds and all kinds of variables, she became the Demon King.
“Finally… ….”
Leviathan gripped her demonic sword tightly with her eyes full of emotion.
The moment she grabbed her demonic sword, her pupils dilated.
Pure and powerful mana, never felt before, flowed through her veins and into her body.
It was hot. It wasn’t painful, but rather a pleasure.
She bit her lip.
The growing pleasure reached its climax when the energy of mana was delivered to her brain.
She involuntarily opened her mouth. She couldn’t even breathe properly.
She is in ecstasy now.
I looked up at the sky with half-closed eyes. She accepted the power of the demonic sword boiling from the deepest depths.
Now, Leviathan has been reborn as the Demon King.
When she was able to speak, Leviathan spoke in a low voice.
“… Now I am the judge and ruler of this world.”
I glanced at Calia.
Normally, if it was her personality, she should have bet on this appearance, but after seeing the overwhelming visual of the magic sword, she didn’t say anything.
She just looked at the demon king Leviathan with her blank face.
Leviathan calmed down the pleasure that still lingered in various parts of his body as he calmed down his breathing. The boiling power was also controlled.
When she was completely calmed down, she opened her mouth.
“… Now that I have become the Demon King, the Holy Sword will appear soon. If you interpret this as the resurrection of the previous demon king, it probably won’t take too long.”
“Then will I really get the holy sword?”
“I guess so. So keep that in mind.”
The Leviathan revealed the seal of her contract drawn on her own palm.
From noble mtl dot com
“Even if you awaken as a Ninwang, you must never fight the Demon King. Rather, we should help the demon king and make this world a better world.”
“Very… Are you still keeping your promise?”
Calia asked, and Leviathan opened her hand. Then, a magic circle began to be engraved on her floor.
Drawing her magic circle by scorching her bottom was a method she often used.
When there was no magic sword, the casting time was too long to use in actual battle, but now that I have awakened as the demon king, it was over in less than 3 seconds.
Summoning the appropriate ingredients from subspace, she laid Calia on top of the magic circle with telekinesis.
“… Of course.”
The magic circle was activated as soon as the words were finished.
“
Calia howled at the pain she felt all over her body. Leviathan eased her pain just enough to keep her from dying.
“Is it done now?”
When her magic ended, Calia let out a heavy breath. And she saw that her severed limbs were back.
No, her muscles were much more developed than then. Calia, still not used to her new leg, stood up awkwardly.
“… I finally became a human again.”
Calia smiled. When she looked up, Leviathan was already activating the portal.
“Wait a minute! Where are you going?”
“I am going to reclaim my place. You stay here and get used to your new body.”
Calia without the holy sword is just a burden. It would be disappointing if she died because of a mistake.
Therefore, Leviathan left her and returned to her mage tower by herself.
***
Contrary to the expectation that Edmund and his party were still there, the magic tower was empty.
Leviathan searched all over the mage tower with search magic. There really was no one. Even though the barrier was open.
“… They overestimated me.”
Leviathan raised the corner of her mouth. I got a rough idea of the situation.
Edmund and the other wizards must have mistakenly thought that after she escaped, they would immediately target the princess or the saint.
So I’ll be waiting for you there. As a result, they wouldn’t have the power to send troops to the Mage Tower.
‘Well, that might have been the best move for them.’
Leviathan looked at the stone statues scattered around the entrance.
They were recovering her form again without her. Perhaps if they had stayed here, they would have been fighting the statue all along.
Leviathan smiled with satisfaction at the security of the Mage Tower, fixed the barrier maintenance device, and re-set the barrier at the entrance of the Mage Tower.
He then summoned a magic circle under the stone statues and cast a spell.
Coo-goo-goo-goo-goo-goo… ….
The color of the stone statues changed to dark red. Now they are even stronger.
‘Now I won’t be cut with one blow by Edmund’s sword.’
Leviathan smiled as the magic tower’s security became tighter.
And he thought about whether to go to the former or the imperial palace instead.
Of the two, the place where Edmund is likely to be is Daeshinjeon. He probably trusted the new saint more than the princess.
That’s why Leviathan decided to attack the imperial palace without him.
‘The time has come to reclaim my imperial crown.’
She returned to the portal.
After a while, Leviathan appeared in front of the imperial palace.
