Genius Corpse-Collecting Warrior - Chapter 153
Demon Slayer (1)
Precariously standing buildings collapse towards the streets.
Amid the rushing debris and rising flames, the elder of the First Prince Sect distorted his face.
It’s not because of the pain of having my left arm cut off. With his regenerative powers, he could make his missing arms grow with a bottle of appropriate regeneration potion.
Rather, he is the one who threw this axe. Because its identity was unexpected.
‘I heard he’s an acquaintance of Craig’s.’
I was completely fooled. I only realized it when I saw him face to face.
One head taller than others. A large, muscular body resembling a northern barbarian. The black eyes and black hair clearly matched the warrior’s appearance.
In addition, the fighting style includes swinging the holy sword and hatchet at the waist.
He was clearly that warrior.
He is the culprit of the rumor that killed the elders of the 3rd Princes faction and the 5th Princes faction and ruined the great plan to summon Calchas.
‘Platinum-plated mercenary Dallon.’
Shuhuaaaah!
A sudden gust of wind blows through my thoughts. Smoke and flames fly away at once, creating an open view. A gray spear pierced through from beyond.
Kaaaang!
The elder reflexively raised his sword and kicked it away. Even though I didn’t block it directly but instead hit the spear blade and deflected it, my grip felt numb.
“What power…!”
He was born strong because of his bloodline. Additionally, thanks to the power of the evil spirit, his overall physical abilities improved.
His body far exceeds that of an ordinary human, and he can swing a large sword nearly two meters long with one hand without difficulty.
He was clearly inferior in strength.
The man who retrieved the spear tip raised his eyebrows and asked if it was a stabbing to see the liver.
“It’s holding up well. “Is it senior level?”
“This is Papasha Karimov, an elder of the First Prince faction.”
“I don’t really remember. “It’s not like I memorized the faces and names of all NPCs.”
A phrase that mixes together words whose meaning is unknown. He raised the corner of his mouth and rushed at me again.
Kwakagagak!
The spear and the great sword collide and become entangled again and again in the blink of an eye.
They boldly cut in and bounce back, and after a brilliant mix of checks and deception, they aim for each other’s leash.
The gap in skill was revealed in less than a minute.
“What… physical ability…!”
The skill level of the spear itself is not high. You can see that it has just been cooked.
However, the man’s strength, speed, skill, and sense were more than enough to overcome all of that.
To the extent that it goes beyond simply digesting and imitating existing spear techniques and even shows signs of creating something more than the original.
Kwaaaaang!
The elder, who had been hit in the chest with a spear, floated away and flew away. I managed to regain my balance, turned over, and landed on my hands and feet like a beast.
“Whoops…!”
The black, dead blood is rushing out. The elder looked up at the warrior without even thinking about wiping his mouth.
“It’s solid. Even before receiving Sun’s blessing, he must not have been an ordinary human. Judging by the posture he habitually adopts when he loses his balance and the short strokes of his sword…is he a werewolf?”
Words muttered with an emotionless expression. Is it because the content hit the nail on the head?
‘It’s screwed up like hell.’
Information about the man in front of him scratching his chin flashed through the elder’s mind one after another.
Even if you search the entire continent, there are not many platinum-plated mercenaries. However, the prestige hidden behind it went far beyond the status of a simple mercenary.
He killed the demons, prevented the rebellion of the Holy Knights, executed the witch, and decapitated the true dragon.
It was known that he was not only treated as a benefactor by the Holy Knights and the Tsardom’s special forces, but also had a close relationship behind the scenes with the Diamond Palace.
According to the rumor, it was said that within a few months of taking control, it had surpassed the 3rd rank barrier. There was even talk that Ilsin’s abilities had already surpassed the beginning of the fourth rank.
‘Can I win?’
A brief moment created by the company’s leisure. The elder asked himself.
He has the ability to regenerate broken ribs already and has the physical ability to become half times stronger than he is now when he changes into the form of a werewolf.
A swordsmanship that could not be surpassed by even the Tsarina’s direct guards, and an image that had long since reached the fourth rank.
I was confident that I wouldn’t be easily defeated by even a fairly low-level devil, but I couldn’t be sure in front of the man in front of me.
‘But…’
The elder recalled the oath.
The first prince expelled from Eclahim Palace. A being who should sit on the throne as the rightful owner of the scepter.
To protect him, the elder vowed to sacrifice everything. Not only his own body and soul, but if necessary, even half of the Tsarist people.
‘Even if my soul is mortgaged to hell and this land becomes the devil’s country, the complete throne must be restored.’
Pop! Kwasik!
As soon as you make the decision, the shape of your body begins to change. The skeleton of the limbs grew abnormally long, the muscles swelled, and sharp hairs sprouted all over the body.
That wasn’t all. In the eyes of the elder who gave his soul to the devil, a dark red fire burned like a natural flower.
‘can win. At least it’s possible to hold on!’
Awoouu –
After sending a signal with a long cry to the elite soldiers surrounding the area, the elder, who assumed the form of a werewolf, rushed at the man.
The space surrounding the two began to vibrate strangely.
***
“You’re a werewolf.”
Dallen smiled viciously as he looked at the werewolf charging towards him with his sword in his hand.
Almost 3 meters tall. Gray fur with the strength of metal.
It’s been almost three years since I fell into this world, but this was my first time seeing a proper werewolf.
I used to admire Wolf Leegan’s unique masculine appearance every time I saw him on the other side of the monitor. Even as he recalled the useless past, Dallon’s brain naturally came up with dozens of strategies appropriate for his opponent.
Naturally, the image is drawn and the window is extended. The first step was to determine its amplified power.
Quaaaang!
Swords and spears clash. It was a very different clash from before.
In the form of Dallen pressing down with force and Elder using technique, they are now exchanging seemingly equal impact forces and crushing each other.
‘The power of a werewolf. Did you sell your soul to an evil spirit? The magic power flowing out of Sun’s Hell dramatically increases physical abilities.’
It wasn’t just strength that was amplified. Regenerative power, agility, and reaction speed have all improved significantly compared to before.
In particular, the regenerative power is not as good as the dragon’s blood itself, but it is at a level that exceeds that of Dallon of the past, who only had a portion of that factor.
Okay! Quack!
It quickly repairs torn skin and misaligned bones, and even easily regenerates the left arm that was severed by the explosion of a hatchet.
“Kaaah! you! The owner of the scepter! Unstoppable! does not exist!”
It howled like an animal. The surrounding space visibly shook with the roar.
A huge invisible wall surrounded the two, as if to trap and isolate Dallen and the werewolf.
I was able to immediately notice what was happening.
Thanks to the power he gained by sacrificing his soul to the evil god, he opened up the realm, albeit imperfectly.
「Territory Opening: The Final Battle of Twisted Loyalty」
Goowooung –
A wide distance enters its territory. I reflexively pulled out a flame arrow and fired it, but it was blocked by an invisible wall and disappeared.
Rather than a clash of forces, it is a phenomenon that conceptually seems like the space itself is isolated.
The werewolf who was watching this said while breathing heavily.
“The image of my realm is a duel with my archenemy! you! “Fight only with me!”
As soon as he finished speaking, strangely twisted soldiers came out of the alley and surrounded the hall.
Soldiers wearing semi-integrated armor, with thick horns and hard shells sprouting all over their bodies.
Armed with sawed-off weapons, the men trapped about thirty survivors, including Bjorn and Akasha, in a siege and narrowed it down.
In addition, there seemed to be a few warlocks among them, so the gates of hell opened and giant monsters crawled out through the gaps in the space.
No matter how Bjorn and Akasha protect all the survivors, it is difficult to deal with over 300 monsters and monsters at the same time.
The werewolf slightly raised the corners of his mouth and laughed.
“Your colleagues and the dirty tsarina’s henchmen will not be able to escape from here!”
There is no reason to open your long mouth and respond to giggling words.
Darren bites his left hand on the spear for a moment and makes a hand sign in the air.
Of course, the scope of the concept that limited the object of the fight was novel, but on the other hand, the feeling of novelty was everything.
Both its abilities and range were poor compared to the areas it had opened up, at least temporarily, such as the Vine Witch or the Face of Heavenly Change Comics.
It was such a narrow-minded mentality, and it was said to be a power that one did not deserve to obtain.
“It’s said that if I kill you, it will be solved.”
While saying that, he lightly waved his hand and twisted the magical wind.
「Ice Crystal」
starts with the same ice flower as always.
However, a new drink is added on top of it.
“Living Roots”
The spells I learned by studying the Introduction to Plant Magic I received from Philopon germinate and naturally blend into one texture in my mind.
「Baekhyanggeun(百向根)」
Let’s do it!
White crystal roots instantly cover the ground.
Not only did it fill the wide street, but strands of roots were also climbing up the walls of the isolated space.
The werewolf’s mouth dropped open at the white prison that went beyond the walls to the ceiling, trapping the two people in a huge dome.
“The decision to isolate me, the most dangerous enemy, was a good one, but I should have known that the more confident a decision is, the more likely it is to become a self-destruction.”
Originally, it would not have been possible to use wide-area magic for fear that the survivors behind it would be caught up in it.
However, since the area has been opened and the space itself has been cut off, the technique can be developed as desired without being bound by such restrictions.
The werewolf later realized that the trap he had set up to survive for a long time against a strong enemy had ended up trapping him and hastening his defeat.
In a fight for seconds, wrong decisions can leave uncontrollable repercussions.
“Tie it up.”
With a simple word that is neither a chant nor a hand sign, the roots dotted all over the place begin to dance.
White roots shoot out like arrows from front to back, left and right, as well as from the ground and sky.
“Kaaaaaa!”
The werewolf resisted with a twinkle in his eyes, but each time he shook off the entangling roots, wounds accumulated all over his body.
Sharp crystals scratching leather. The cold that penetrates the inside of the skin and makes the body sluggish.
Despite the overflowing power, the werewolf’s sophisticated swordsmanship gradually began to change into that of a monster swinging wildly.
Sreuk-
Dallan’s new type that digs into that blind spot.
Putting cold pressure on the tip of the spear, I pulled out the spear pole and held it.
It stabs as if twisting between roots targeting werewolves.
Damn!
“Kaaaaak!”
It was impossible to distinguish between a camouflaged blow and respond to dozens of attacks.
Without even having time to grab his side, which was bleeding, the werewolf swung his huge sword again in a ceaseless attack.
Phew!
The next blow came from behind and pierced the back. This time too, there was no way to block or avoid it.
Dallen weaved among the living crystal roots, constantly digging into the guy’s blind spots.
After allowing a few attacks, the werewolf must have thought that it couldn’t go on like this and created a hard shell around key vital areas to protect itself.
However, it was impossible to cover the entire body with such things, and on the contrary, the sluggish body allowed for more injuries.
thud.
Before long, the werewolf, who was no better than a rag, was kneeling on the floor.
“Krrrrrrrrrr……”
The wall of space soon melts away as the subject is completely neutralized.
The white roots on the wall also lost their place to lean on and collapsed together.
The werewolf unconsciously raised his head at the wide view. And I laughed hard.
“Hehe, but…your comrades are elite soldiers and monsters who have already received God’s blessing…”
The corner of his mouth that was pulled up trembled. Because the scene unfolding before his eyes was completely different from what he expected.
It was good until they drove the survivors and Dallon’s group into the village hall and surrounded it.
No matter how fortified the hall was, at most it was at the level of a village on the outskirts, so it could easily be destroyed by the power of a giant monster.
However, the elite soldiers and the giant monsters, who were almost half-monsters, were all looking towards the street on the other side, not the hall.
To be exact, a group of dozens of Holy Knights emitting intense light on a dark night street.
“What about monsters?”
Dallen chuckled. He waved his hand lightly at the paladins.
The blonde paladin in the lead seemed momentarily startled by the gesture, but she soon straightened her stance and raised her sword.
“Brothers—”
At the voice of the interrogator, amplified by divine power and resounding through the village, the monsters instinctively cower and begin to back away.
“Exterminate the evil before your eyes!”
With an order containing the determination not to miss a single horse, the paladins spurred their horses.
Doo doo doo doo doo –
The ground trembles with the sound of the horse’s hooves.
The light of divine power also grew stronger.
Heavy cavalry, heavily armed with barding and full armor, is a strategic weapon of this era that is destructive just by its mass and speed.
The charge of the Holy Knights, who added powerful sacred power, was no different from a wave of light that erased all shadows.
Wow! Wow!
Gwoeook –
The darkness surrounding the village hall is swept away. Both the rebels and the monsters were turned into pieces of meat and trampled under the horses’ hooves.
The werewolf, who had seen the operation go to waste before his eyes, let out a howl that was close to a scream.
“Crrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr while at rightful tsar…!”
“How justified is it in killing your own people?”
Before he could finish his words, the silver spear fell off the guy’s head.
