9th Class Sword Master: The Guardian of the Sword - Chapter 214

Episode 214

Episode 78. Porapora Island’s Sorrow (5) As

soon as she kicked her feet, Yuma’s body was shot through the forest road like a javelin’s spear.

The white dragon was light, but it was still armor. When I took it off, my movements became much lighter.

Yuma looked up and checked what was ahead. Lightning was constantly summoning across the clear night sky.

Would the time of the end described in the mythical age look like this? Empey’s mean laugh seemed to be heard all around him.

Along the way, Yuma encountered several natives. Everyone had eyes full of fear.

Yuma stopped each time and pointed his finger in the direction of the beach. The natives nodded and ran like madmen.

‘Even the top demons described in the Dragon Horse War couldn’t bring down this much lightning. It’s not like his magical power is infinite.’

Of course, as Empey herself said, it might have been possible because she was not an ordinary high-ranking demon, but a demon king.

However, Yuma decided that this was not the reason for Empei’s tremendous magical power.

‘There will be restrictions. The power of the lightning from the ground and the lightning from the sky are very different.’

That was Yuma’s basis for judgment.

The lightning that was shot from the ground felt like a slightly stronger aurablaird, but the lightning that Empey was scattering from the sky was on a different level.

Enormous lightning spread as if encroaching on the entire island.

If Empey had been able to use it on the ground as well, he wouldn’t have been an opponent to it in the first place.

Besides, it seemed that once it settled in the air, it could not leave beyond a certain range.

It was the same for not pursuing him and for attacking while still floating.

It was clear that he intended to make Yuma suffer by killing other humans, but there was definitely something strange about his behavior.

‘The answer will come out if I beat it up.’

Maybe there’s no time to pelt. Yuma was planning on wringing all his strength to the bottom and unleashing the final decisive battle, the storm.

It was clear that planting an aura into his body and detonating it would no longer work. Because I won’t let you get hit again.

Even now, innocent natives were dying. Now that his stamina was really reaching its limit, he had to make a decision somehow.

Sword Eye was a skill that must be preceded in order to unleash a storm. As the energy spread throughout the body to make the blood and aura boil, Yuma was overcome by an unfamiliar sensation.

“Ouch!”

It feels like your bones are starting to drill holes in real time.

When I activated Sword Eye, I always felt a burning pain all over my body, but the type of pain was different this time.

‘Is the body signaling that it will die? It wasn’t the only thing. The sight that turned into a symbol also did not give a clear feeling like before. It was blurry like an old, damaged painting.

Yuma stopped running for a moment and stuck the Ascalon into the ground like a walking stick to catch his breath. Because of this, even the sword eye, let alone the storm, could not be opened.

‘Don’t do this, you damn body.’

From the moment he arrived on the island until now, Yuma had been fighting without rest or proper treatment. The cost is that he drove to find it now.

As soon as I realized it, I felt uncontrollable fatigue as if a dam burst. It was as if a whole mountain was pressing down on my shoulders.

The situation is urgent and the body does not follow. Right in front of my eyes, the demons I’ve hated the most from my previous life until now are killing people ♦••••..

‘I hope someone inspires me with tremendous power. Whether it’s the dragon blood group…; There can be no such thing. Yuma barely supported his trembling body, realizing once again that the current situation was very, very, very ugly.

‘uh!?’

Then, a strange idea came to me out of nowhere.

As he watched the black lightning raining down from the sky, Yuma remembered G-Haze’s darkness stabbing for some reason. It’s because his technique is so cool.

Dark stabs and fog walks experienced in the Lord’s Castle of Rochshire.

Even now, having grown more than before, Yuma had no confidence to beat Heize one-on-one.

At that time, he was able to win thanks to Heize’s foggy step at the last moment.

Fog Walk was a skill that was no different from Heize’s final battle, but in that match, it acted as a poison. It was because Yuma absorbed the fog walk aura and strengthened the storm.

Yuma raised his head and looked at a single bolt of lightning falling thickly. Just looking at it, it looked powerful enough to make my saliva gulp down.

In some ways, it even looked beautiful. Unless you’re killing people.

Since the beginning of mankind, ‘lightning’ has been an object of reverence to humans because of its tremendous destructive power and transcendent effect.

Among wizards, it was said that lightning was the extreme that magic could reach.

It was enough to give Lightning Storm far superiority to Meteor Strike, a war-related magic that summons meteorites.

‘Can I absorb that…?

Just like back then.’

I had to do it or not. It was because if he couldn’t tear Empey to death anyway, the future of Porapora Island would only be destroyed.

“Kulik!”

When he coughed, a handful of hot blood spurted out. If Cheryl had been around, she would have nagged her again. Katherine must have clicked her tongue and Natalie…

smiled for some reason as she remembered the fallen women.

But the laughter was short-lived. Yuma straightened her back with her mouth firmly shut and took heavy steps.

As the only person given a second life, he had no reason to collapse and rest.

[Kahahahaha!]

Mpey laughs like a madman.

Yuma ran towards him holding the Ascalon with a firm expression on his face.

“M-Pay!”

Yuma made his way out of the bush with a cheery voice. Empey stopped laughing and turned her gaze to Yuma, who was standing like a bug at her feet.

‘What is this… Ha.’

The night sky stretched out like a curtain behind Empey. The sky had changed into a shape that looked like it was about to break and break at any moment, like cracked glass.

It was a phenomenon that happened because of Empey’s authority. The sky, a radius of several hundred meters in which Empey floats, has completely become his domain.

Even Empey took the form of a half-man, half-horse with gigantic horns, not the dirty and unpleasant shape shedding slime like before.

[How many people died while you ran to save Belkan’s daughter and her severed arm. Shall I tell you?]

“So no matter how many people die, you will be my companion.”

[If it was a joke made conscious of the fact that I am the demon king of the underworld, I could give it a high score.]

Yuma glared at Empey and stretched out his Ascalon.

“This is Ascalon, the sword that killed the dragon.

Here, the modifier “killing the demon king” will be added.”

[I guess so.]

Pajijijik!

As Empey raised her hand, lightning began to gather like a whirlpool.

[I was thinking of playing with it and killing it…. I will personally torture you in the underworld. That way would be more fun.]

“Call my name if you can’t find it. My name is Yuma Drake.”

[See you in the underworld!]

As Empey bent her back and threw the condensed lightning downward, there was a roar.

To Yuma, the scene looked like a slow motion picture. Even though it is actually less than 1 second.

Yuma didn’t close his eyes until the lightning struck right in front of him.

Rumble…I The ground in the space where Yuma was standing collapsed in an instant, and a huge hemispheric shockwave was formed.

Empey crossed her arms in satisfaction and watched the dust cloud settle.

* * * Meanwhile, the beach where the rest of the party was waiting was a mess. Now, only one of Barinann’s Protection Artifacts is left.

The natives brought by Untai and Igor were crowded inside the shelter. Cogg was sweating profusely, constantly pulling out new bandages.

“young master! The protective shield is about to break!”

“Ugh!”

why! why! won’t you come out?

Even Igmeseus did not respond to the call, and at least I wish that Kantai would stand up…

The woman lying there like a mat was definitely one of the strongest who pushed her idol.

To think that such a person could not help Yuma, but lay there and moan.

It was Yuma who was actually helping the natives who had treated them carelessly. Ballinan clenched his fists in indignation.

“Cog! If I can’t call Igmeseus one last time, I’ll go to Yuma!”

Thinking it was the last time, Ballinan called out to Igmeseus.

Again, there was no response.

Without thinking for a moment, Ballinan handed over the protection artifact to Cog.

“young master! Wait until Igor-nim returns, then go! It is too dangerous!”

“You don’t even know what happened to Yuma-hyung from the inside! Didn’t you just see that colossal lightning bolt?”

“still!”

However, Cogg could not stop Ballinan from trudging towards the forest path. Yuma’s order was to give first aid to the natives.

Suddenly, something exploded in the air, creating a thick cloud of smoke. Igmeseus emerged from the smoke.

Even in the midst of this mayhem, the natives surrounded the fallen Kantai, showing signs of surprise when Igmeseus appeared. As if Igmeseus was trying to do something to Kantai.

“Yig! Why come out now!”

[You man, if you go over there right now, you will die. it came out of necessity

If you die at the hands of the demon king of the underworld, you will not be able to fulfill your contract with me.]

“Because I don’t even know the contents of the contract my grandfather made? If you come out, help me out. What the hell have you been up to now?”

[under. Belkan is too awkward with that bastard. I was holding my breath, thinking that you wouldn’t die by that guy’s hand because of that guy named Yuma… It’s all wrong. Yuma, why didn’t that bastard run away and attack the Demon King?]

“Wrong? What are you talking about? Can’t even Yig defeat that demon?”

[Listen up, kid.] Igmeseus let out a sigh before continuing.

[He is the demon king of the underworld. Because I’m a chaos, I don’t get distorted if my hierarchy drops like Belkan, but… you know? That the contractor has to pay life force to use my authority.]

[You have to give all of your life force to deliver even a proper blow against Empey. In other words, you are about to die. If you die by my hand or by him, you will be unable to fulfill the contract.]

“So?”

[Run away. I will wake up the ancient sea spirit sleeping in this area.]

Ballinan bit his lip.

Then, as if determined, he took a step closer to Igmeseus.

“I will give all my life force. We have to save Yuma. Hyung… he definitely won’t run away at times like this.”

[Oh, don’t do this. Aren’t you a smart kid even though you’re a bit old?]

“It’s noisy. If you won’t lend your strength to speak as a contractor, get out of here!”

Saying that, Ballinan started running down the forest path.

[Ha… such a punishment.]

Igmeseus spat out a low curse and put his finger on his forehead.
