The Count’s Youngest Son Is A Player - Chapter 226
Episode 226
‘As expected, it’s difficult to face it head-on.’
The sharp auror blade that Raoul pointed out penetrated the blood-red curtain.
However, the curtain that seemed like it would be pushed aside for a moment surrounded the Auror and squeezed it, causing the Auror’s form to become distorted.
Raoul retrieved the sword he had thrown out and this time struck the membrane like a whip.
A long stretched out aura struck the curtain, but the aura became mushy as if it were being absorbed and soon disappeared.
“That’s a really interesting technique,”
came the words of Master Cardenas, who was sharing Raoul’s vision.
“It’s a veil created by compressing demonic energy using blood as a medium. The texture of the compressed demonic energy is comparable to the strength of your aura, so it will be difficult to attack it easily. Moreover, at the moment of contact…”
“The bloody demonic energy and aura conflict with each other to make it look as if they are being absorbed. “I know.”
On the surface, it seemed to absorb the aura, but in reality, it was burning it together.
It’s just not noticeable because the lost people are being replenished through the blood scattered on the floor of Daejeon.
“But why do you keep consuming auras pointlessly? “No matter how much power armor helps with mana, there is no good in wasting it.”
Cardenas, who pursues flawless and clean swordsmanship, may not understand Raoul’s reckless fighting style.
‘The gaze of the strong will be different. It’s not really wrong. But…’
「It’s a kind of deception tactic. To put it simply, we are trying to catch them.”
“Do you mean to deceive those demons?”
“Yes. Winning or losing in battle is not determined simply by skill.”
The weak have their own fighting methods.
Bae Do-hyun from Previous Life has maintained the top spot in the rankings for a long time.
But that doesn’t mean he was always strong.
Whenever he battled with NPC superhumans, whether the players were his opponents or not, Bae Do-hyeon could not help but find himself in the position of the weak.
‘No matter how much I broke away from the support of the system and pioneered a path, it was nothing compared to NPCs.’
He is truly a master swordsman who has honed his sword over several decades to become a master.
A wizard who has studied the nature of mana for decades and mastered magic to reach the level of the 7th Circle.
Likewise, priests such as martial artists and summoners who have reached the status of superhumans through decades of training and asceticism.
In Connect, superhuman means a master in one field.
This meant that the concept itself was different from players who became superhuman by increasing their experience points and proficiency through the assistance of the system.
In the end, the NPCs he thought were superhumans were always standing over his head, and Bae Do-hyun needed more than just skill to defeat them.
To put it in a good way, it means that it was an operation. To put it in a vulgar way, it means that it was a foolish operation.
Raoul’s continued barrage of seemingly meaningless attacks was actually part of the operation.
“Tsk tsk. I thought it was a fun toy, but you can’t help it. “I would have been more excited if my skills had been even half as good.”
The demon Porsys even yawned as if he was really bored.
In fact, the battle itself was unfolding fiercely, but he had not felt any threat since Raoul appeared.
His attitude, with one arm behind his back and the other hand sipping wine, also proved this.
It seemed like a fresh attack was about to unfold, but at some point, Raoul was repeating the same mistakes as other humans.
‘Stupid human being. Knock on the hundred blades. Can you penetrate my [Force of Blood]?’
As long as there is blood, his shield will never be pierced.
Most of those who deal with him don’t even know that and have the illusion that if they knock on it, it will break.
‘Or at least you’d think I’d be exhausted…’
Anyway, it was my first outing in the human world for a long time, and I didn’t think I’d meet anyone very interesting this time either.
So Forsyth began to believe that Raoul was no different from others.
And that illusion would soon lead to pride, and pride would eventually lead to carelessness.
Raoul was waiting for that moment.
* * *
Kkkwang! bang! Quagwagwang!
A powerful sound of destruction erupted.
But Porsyth’s expression was one of boredom, not surprise.
‘It’s over.’
Not long ago, the number of human aurors began to decrease, and the number of aerial weapons also decreased noticeably.
The tedious battle had already been going on for well over 20 minutes, and at that point, the human master’s aurors were slowly running out.
The powerful continuous attack that had just unfolded must have been the bastard’s last struggle.
And just as he predicted, the size of the auror extending from Raoul’s sword had shrunk to less than half of its initial size.
‘Then the reaction is obvious now.’
As Porsys waved his palm and pointed somewhere, the blood puddle on the floor moved quickly as if it were alive.
Rather.
And all escape routes, including the entrances and windows of Daejeon, were blocked with a curtain of blood.
Thanks to this, the front curtain has become slightly thinner, but who cares?
After all, there are many things that humans cannot break through.
That moment when I blocked the escape route and turned my attention to leisurely refill my empty wine glass.
Raoul’s eyes burned golden.
* * *
‘Now is the time!’
Raoul momentarily turned on the ‘awakening’ switch on his power armor, Regnator.
At the same time, I activated the aura of brilliance, changed my telekinesis from auto control to manual mode, and shouted in my heart.
「Label Now!」
Fu Chemical!
An enormous amount of divine power emanated from Raoul’s body and sword, and the weapon army was overlaid with divine power along with aurors.
Charalak! Crackling.
And as if he had been waiting, the [Quick Freeze] magic unleashed by Ravel covered the entire battle.
Quagwagwagwang!
“Tsk!”
There was a tremendous roar and fragments of power were rampant, and a blood fog covered Daejeon, blocking the view.
And after a while.
“You bastard! “You were hiding your power!”
There was a fist-sized hole in the chest of the demon Porsys.
‘It was shallow.’
The blood that had flowed from the hole was wriggling and slowly filling up the spot.
Ddddddddd.
And Raoul’s Auror Blade, which had become platinum-colored with divine power, was being held by Porsyth’s left arm, which had turned into a claw-like claw with blood.
“It’s unfortunate. “It must have been a card of conversion.”
And the other side of Raoul.
Porsyth’s right arm was holding the blue Auror Blade of Cardenas, who had manifested in ghost armor.
“well. “It doesn’t look like you have the luxury of speaking so casually.”
Now that I think about it, the tent that had been protecting him until now was no longer visible.
Just now.
The moment Ravel’s magic exploded, Raoul mobilized his divine power and an army of weapons to shatter the veil.
Porsys instinctively tried to mobilize blood to restore the curtain, but failed.
Ravel’s magic froze all the blood scattered throughout the city.
So what are the bloody tongs (or gloves) that are currently holding the swords of Raoul and Cardenas?
It was Porsyth’s own blood.
It is natural that the dominance and purity of the demon’s own blood is higher than that of external blood.
That is why he was able to capture the Auror Blade of the awakened Raoul and Master Advanced level Cardenas.
“What are you going to do now that the foundation has been revealed? “If you have any cards hidden, take them out more.”
Although he spoke as if he was leisurely, Porsys was also squeezing all his strength.
While holding on to the two superhumans’ Auror blades, they also had to heal their wounds.
And the remaining blood.
pop! Chat!
Because it transformed into a long tail and was blocking the incoming hordes of Raoul’s weapons.
The situation eventually turned into a game of chicken.
This means that the game depends on which side loses strength first.
And Porsys was confident of his victory.
‘Human bastard. I feel it this time. Your struggles. Hehehe.’
Regnator’s awakening effect.
As Raoul’s level increased through multiple reinforcements, the maintenance time became longer, but at most it was 5 minutes.
After that time, all stored mana is consumed and Regnator stops working.
Forsyth saw through it.
But Raoul instead raised the corners of his mouth.
“Take out the card you hid? Okay, I’ll show you if you want. “Now!”
As soon as Raoul finished speaking, a seal fell from the ceiling of the main hall.
In his hand was an ordinary-looking longsword, with a pure white mana blade sticking out of the tip.
“Fuhaha!”
Porsyth burst out laughing.
Now, what difference does it make if only a knight, not a superhuman, participates in the war?
To be honest, only one of the armies of weapons that the human warrior could move seemed inferior.
Porsys shouted, leisurely swinging his red tail.
“This is all…!?”
Phew!
And Porsyth’s body was completely split in half.
Suck! Push! Transmitted light!
Subsequently, Raoul and the Cárdenas Armed Forces tore his body to pieces.
“Ha!”
As if that wasn’t enough, Raoul used his telekinesis to its full potential and took control of the space.
Whirly!
“label!”
“Burn!”
As Raoul gathered up every last bit of blood scattered in the air and gathered it all together, Ravel burned it with fire magic.
-Tiriring.
As the system message rang out, Raoul opened subspace and covered the burned space.
‘Wow, I got it!’
I don’t know what it is, but the item the demon spit out was stuffed into subspace to avoid the eyes of the hero party.
“Whoa.”
Only then did Raoul slump down in his seat with a sigh of relief.
Before I knew it, Regnator had been disarmed.
“…Are you done?”
“Yes, I think so.”
As soon as he heard Raoul’s answer, ‘Hero’ Asher also lost his legs and sat down on the floor.
It was none other than the work of the warrior Asher that delivered the final blow to Porsys.
The reason why Asher, whose swordsmanship skills and level are only expert level at best, is a ‘warrior’.
That was because of the special power he was given by God.
‘I can’t believe I can deliver an absolute blow that ignores elemental defense against the enemy of God. ‘It’s a complete scam, right?’
The story was that if you let your guard down due to his awkward appearance and poor skills, he could be taken away in an instant.
Just like Porsyth, which disappeared without even knowing what happened a little while ago.
Of course, there were some very difficult conditions to use it in practice.
Honestly, if it weren’t for Raoul, would Asher have been able to cut Porsyth even once?
‘It would have turned into a lump of blood before I could even get close.’
That was the reason why the warriors of the Connect world were called ‘half-hearted idiots’.
Sharalak.
A gentle healing light covered Raoul’s entire body.
‘Good.’
It was a saint’s recovery skill.
The remaining warrior party members who were hiding throughout Daejeon gathered near Raoul.
“Is there anything uncomfortable? “If you are hurt anywhere, please tell me.”
Even though he had already granted the maximum blessing and recovery he could, Kiera asked with concern.
“thank you. “I’m just a little tired.”
“and! You are truly amazing! This is the first time in my life that I have seen such a majestic battle scene. “How have you been hiding such skills for so long?”
Simar asked as if he was impressed.
‘Hide it… It was only a few days ago that I became a master.’
But there was no need to correct the mistake.
Raoul just smiled and remained silent.
“I really… really respect you! How can I become so strong like you?”
And Asher, an 18-year-old warrior who was two years older than Raoul, looked at Raoul with sparkling eyes as if he were looking at an idol.
‘…It’s burdensome.’
Raoul scratched his head and gave FM an answer.
“You just have to work hard.”
“….”
For your information, Raoul is now sixteen. He was still seventeen a year later.
Anyway, this defeated the greatest threat, Count Porsis of the Demon World.
Now I had to find the core of this damn demon temple, destroy it, and end the battle outside.
“Now let’s hurry.”
Raoul boldly walked towards the throne.
