Episode 97 Part 30. Encounter
One.
Charon runs on the spire.
The black magician who saw that sight lightly swung his staff.
Ki-ki-ki-ki.
Two undead bodies rose from the floor.
Dark eyes and ominous black magic.
Charon realized at once that they were Death Knights.
Poor beings who cannot find peace even after death.
Knights who once fought for honor have become the playthings of warlocks and are now attacking Charon.
The armor they were wearing had the seal of the Kingdom of Keas engraved on it.
-Poor things.
The guillotine’s dark blue light shone coldly.
All that can be given to knights who have forgotten death is peaceful rest.
Charon drew up his magical power and looked at the tips of the knights’ swords.
Death Knight follows the swordsmanship of his previous life.
Center of gravity slightly forward, with the center of gravity slightly forward.
It was definitely the standard form of the sword shredding technique mainly used by knights of the Kingdom of Keas.
But that sword is far more lethal than anything they unleashed in their lifetime.
Passs …
Black dust flying from the tip of the sword.
The moment you touch their black magic, all the life in your body will be sucked out.
Taaak-!
Two Death Knights charged towards Charon at the same time.
The black magic they spread was enough to corrode the floor.
Besides, it wasn’t just the Death Knights that Charon had to worry about.
Kkwaddeuk-!
Black flowers grew from the magic circles installed here and there, and soon purple fruits ripened from the vines.
Phew! Phew!
The fruit bursts and obscures the view.
Charon held his breath for a moment as he felt the toxicity sting his skin.
Then Orion, who was behind him, moved the wind spirit without being flustered.
Wheeing-!
The spirit wind cleared the purple smoke from my eyes.
When the view was regained.
-come.
As if they had been waiting, the Death Knights thrust their swords into Charon’s chest.
Their swords glow black.
It was so hard to tell how much black magic had been condensed, and it felt like an optical illusion that the tip of the sword was splitting.
It is impossible to take it head on.
No matter how much the Haeranggeom is a swordsmanship that emphasizes strength, if you face that kind of strength directly, your body won’t be able to withstand it.
‘It’s spilling.’
If you can’t take it head on, you spill it.
Overpowering your opponent with gentleness is something you’ve done countless times in your past life.
It was also a technology that could be implemented with the current body.
Charon swung his sword while tilting his body slightly to the right.
Chaeaeaaeng-!
Guillotine lightly struck back at the swords rushing in from the right. Then, the swords of the Death Knights, who had been digging towards one point, tangled with each other.
This caused the Death Knight standing on the right to lose his balance momentarily.
Without hesitation, Charon decapitated the Death Knight.
Kaaaaang-!
There is no sound of flesh being cut. Instead, the sound of metal clashing resonates.
The feeling of something caught on the tip of the sword.
The black magic covering the Death Knight’s body was blocking the guillotine like a protective shield.
But the resistance did not last long.
Crunch-!
The guillotine, which had been biting the black magic, eventually decapitates the Death Knight.
Because the body was already dead, no blood gushed out.
Instead, only maggot-like bugs crawled out from the cut surface.
Just as Charon was about to turn around, his mind turned away, something grabbed his foot.
At the same time, another Death Knight swung his huge black sword at Charon.
An unavoidable attack.
But Charon bit his lips hard and struck the black sword with the guillotine.
Kwaaaaang-!
A huge explosion rang out as the guillotine and the black sword clashed.
The shockwave created by the clash of two swords sweeps through Charon’s entire body.
The shockwave shook Charon’s organs without mercy.
The Death Knight was also struck by the shockwave, but it did not inflict any significant damage to his already dead body.
“Coolook.”
A handful of blood poured out of Caron’s mouth.
But the crisis didn’t end there.
Saaaaaaaaaaah-!
A glow begins to spread from the Death Knight that Charon had just decapitated.
Maggots, the maggots that filled the Death Knight’s body, cling to Charon’s body.
At that moment, the smiling figure of the black magician appeared in Charon’s eyes.
He said, swinging his cane lightly.
“How pitiful. In honor of you, I will use your body with special care.”
-Master! Death Knight Remnants!
Guillotine knew even without telling me.
Charon quickly released his magical power in all directions and formed a sea. However.
“It’s already late.”
The black magician’s magic has already been completed.
Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaahh …
The decapitated corpse of the Death Knight exploded.
The black magic that had accumulated in the corpse was immediately converted into explosive power, engulfing everything in all directions.
The Death Knight’s body was torn apart, and the fragments rained down straight towards Charon’s body.
Pushuuk.
Push.
Debris from the sea mercilessly penetrates Charon’s armor.
The powerful armor used by the ancestors of the Duke of Reston somehow blocks the shards.
But the cabana couldn’t stop all the debris.
Some of the fragments managed to burrow into Charon’s skin.
‘ah.’
My vision is blurry.
My focus is blurred and my mind feels like it’s going to break.
Stop.
Red blood seeps out from between the armor and falls to the floor in drops.
The armor, which had been intentionally dyed black, was soon stained with Charon’s blood and turned dark red.
“Caron Reston-!”
Orion’s voice echoes from behind.
But even his voice felt hazy.
As the undead’s poison, its deadly venom, coursed through his veins, terrible pain began to surge through his body.
-We must first drive out the dark magic… … .
Guillotine shouted urgently, but stopped talking as soon as he saw what was happening to Charon’s body.
This is because the black magic that had been rapidly penetrating Caron’s body had stopped at some point.
“… … Messing around with this kind of black magic… … . That bastard, the evil emperor… … The black magic was even worse… … Huh.”
A smile begins to spread across Caron’s lips.
-… … Controlling black magic?
“You have experience.”
Black magic?
It is unfair to be swayed by such low-level dark magic.
The black magic that the evil emperor had bestowed upon him was so powerful that it could not be compared to such low-level things.
That is why it was impossible for one’s body to be taken over by such black magic.
“… …It’s delicious.”
Charon breathed his black magic into Guillotine. Then, as if he had been waiting, Guillotine began to purify the black magic.
-Master, are you a demon?
As Guillotine muttered incredulously, Charon answered while spitting blood-tinged spit.
“It was a life no different from that of a demon.”
-There was a reason my master teased me and called me the Demon Sword. It was just common co-ethnic hatred, right?
Ignoring Guillotine’s joke, I check my physical condition.
The first thing to do is to resolve the poetry.
However, as soon as the black magic is dealt with, the poisons begin to disappear from the body.
“There really is such a thing as bloodline red.”
If it had been just any article, I would have been poisoned to death.
But this body is different.
Bloodline of the Duke of Reston.
This blood, which exists to exterminate those who follow the devil, is rapidly driving out the poison originating from the devil.
“Phew.”
Soon, vision returned to normal.
Caron glanced to the side.
Even the Death Knight, who had been relatively unharmed, was torn to pieces by the explosion just now.
It was something that could have exploded in a chain reaction.
“Shall we start again?”
Charon’s gaze turns back to the warlock.
“… … You know how to control black magic.”
The warlock said with a smile.
“That aura, and that sword… … . Now I know who you are. The youngest of the Dukes of Reston, Caron Reston. Yes… … . Clinging to things when there’s nothing to gain is your family’s specialty.”
Hwaruk-!
Black flames rose from the man’s body.
The unclean flames were aimed at Charon.
“I’ve heard your story many times. But I didn’t know you could use black magic. Did you make a contract with the demons?”
“If I tell you honestly, you won’t believe me?”
“Your body will surely become a masterpiece. I will also use your soul specially for this ritual.”
Chorrrrrrrr!
A wall of bones rose up in front of the warlock.
And then again the undead rose from the ground.
Countless undead, including Dullahan, filled this place.
“The battlefield is like a sweet paradise to us. We just have to choose the materials and create whatever we want.”
Dark magic begins to surge in again.
Bone Spear, Hellfire, Necromancy, etc.
Magic poured out ceaselessly from the magic circle that had been set up here.
Each and every one of those spells had life-threatening powers.
But Caron broke through with the guillotine.
Passus-.
The guillotine cuts through black magic without stopping.
Fire, spears, and even invisible curses.
Everything is destroyed in front of the guillotine.
-It’s been a while since you preyed.
Although it was a magic circle that the black magician had carefully prepared, Charon devoured the magic to his heart’s content.
Blood is flowing out of me, but I feel full of strength throughout my body.
That evil black magic served as fuel, replenishing the core without rest.
Passs …
Orion also quietly supported Charon.
The spirits he had released began to destroy the magic circles one by one, and many of the undead that were swarming in were thrown out of the spire.
Kwaaaaah-!
The waves that stretched out from the guillotine made a path again.
The fragments left behind by the broken black magic continued to strike Charon’s body without rest.
The blood that seemed to have stopped for a moment started flowing again around the corner of my mouth.
“Kick.”
Charon smiled and willingly accepted the pain.
The taste of blood in my mouth.
Pain felt throughout the body.
This is the real battlefield.
Knock knock.
My heart was pounding with excitement.
Kwajijijik-!
The undead, torn to pieces by Charon’s sword, fell in all directions, and Charon finally reached the wall erected by the warlock.
Taat.
He kicked the floor and jumped up.
And soon, his eyes met the warlock’s.
“It’s useless.”
The warlock made a slight gesture, and a black hand immediately emerged from the wall.
But Charon paid no attention and plunged his sword into the warlock’s neck.
Kkadddddddddd-!
A wall of bone moves as if alive, protecting the warlock.
The guillotine, filled with magical power, slammed in fiercely.
“Oh, that’s too bad.”
The guillotine eventually stops right in front of the warlock’s nose.
Caron said with his feet against the wall.
“Will it be okay if I eat it?”
“That’s funny. It wasn’t me who got caught, it was you.”
Several spikes sprouted from the bone walls and pierced Charon’s thighs. But Charon smiled sincerely.
“Aren’t you only concerned about me?”
“what?”
“You’re not the only one with friends.”
That was when.
“Feel the wrath of fire.”
The black chains that had been binding Ifrit’s beak were released, and a waterfall of fire poured down.
A eon of flames that burn everything.
The wrath of the Spirit King swept across the top of the spire.
There’s a mad dog living in the duke’s house
