The Count’s Youngest Son Is A Player - Chapter 317
Episode 317
Quang! Flashing.
Aurors and dark magic were flying around frantically from all directions.
And an army of weapons flying all over the place.
The small square was filled with the heat of battle.
The imperial commandos, which included over 20 imperial superhumans and horse generals, might have thought they would easily win, but the reality was different.
Paaaat!
The wave of divine power that burst from Raoul’s body filled the square, pushing away the dark magic energy.
The aura of brilliance that filled the mastery to the end was like a huge sacred barrier in itself.
Chii Iik.
Holy power attached itself to the bodies of the Empire’s lower-level superhumans, burning away the dark magic energy.
From the orbs of brilliance created throughout the square, huge Holy Spheres flew towards the enemies.
“damn. “Someone put up that annoying barrier!”
“There are a lot of features you can use.”
As the superhumans hurriedly activated the emperor’s emblem, red tattoos covered their entire bodies, but they were overwhelmed by divine power and could not demonstrate their full power.
And there were dozens and hundreds of weapons that latched onto those who showed a gap like piranhas.
Suck!
Cardenas’ sword cut off the heads of the superhumans with the most efficient movement.
“damn. “Do you really think it’s going to happen like this?”
An imperial superhuman close to the master level tried to take advantage of Cardenas’ clone and deliver a fatal blow.
But then.
Crack!
“omg!”
A tree trunk broke through the marble floor and stuck to his ankle.
“Someone has this kind of talent! “Get away!”
He swung his aura and tried to cut down the tree trunk.
Tongue.
Rather than cutting the stem, the auror bounced off.
‘What? Oh, no!’
As he opened his eyes in surprise, the tree trunk climbed up and wrapped around his body like a snake.
He was tied tightly to the tree trunk from the neck down, so there was no time for him to scream.
Kkwajijijijik! Chop rock.
His body was sucked to the floor, leaving behind only a handful of blood.
“Watch your step at the bar!”
Someone who witnessed the scene shouted, but Ravel snorted.
‘It’s already too late.’
When she waved her magic wand slightly, the floor of the plaza began to tremble and dozens of tree branches shot up in an instant, targeting the imperial superhumans.
[Fairy Field], a portable version of the fairy tribe’s unique secret technique [Fairy Fantasy], attacked the imperial army.
Ravel’s attack using the saplings of the Spirit Tree and the branches of the World Tree was enough to disturb the hands and feet of the Empire’s superhumans.
‘It’s clear that we were ahead in numbers…’
The imperial superhumans who thought they could easily win no matter who came realized that their calculations were wrong.
But even if you regret it, it’s already too late.
The empire’s superhumans, who were over 20 years old, fell to the cold ground one by one from the frantic barrage of attacks.
* * *
“I can’t believe it. Cough.”
Blood flowed from the mouth of the Imperial Demon Commander with the face of a lion.
His sturdy body, over 3 meters tall, with his entire body full of muscle, was no longer threatening.
This was because five swords had already pierced his entire body like a skewer.
“It was a fun match. How long has it been since I swung my sword so carelessly? “It’s a shame we don’t have enough time.”
Contrary to his words, Raoul’s expression looked calm.
‘What a monster. ‘Have you been hiding your skills?’
The Imperial Demon Commander looked at Raoul, who didn’t even have a single scratch, and looked tired.
All information from the intelligence department was consumed.
I activated His Majesty’s seal and used all of my potential, but I couldn’t even touch a single hair on him.
It didn’t even seem like he had shown his full potential yet.
“But even so, you won’t get the results you want…”
He shakes it off.
The imperial magic banner collapsed helplessly.
Raoul put away the sword that cut off the magician’s head and turned his head.
“great job.”
Ravel gave the fairy’s blessing and washed away Raoul’s fatigue.
Except for the magician, all of the imperial superhumans had already fallen long ago.
“Ha, that’s a shame. “I wanted to take him down purely with swordsmanship.”
Raoul said with a slightly dissatisfied expression.
In the beginning, he may have had the upper hand against the demon general with just a sword, but he could not overwhelm him.
In the end, to achieve a quick victory, five swords were summoned, and the battle, which was as close as 1 to 6, was decided in an instant.
This is because the combination of the repeatedly compressed Ghost Sword and telekinesis matched Raoul’s own swordsmanship skills.
“Don’t be too hasty. There is no end to the path of the sword. “If you think about your current regrets and keep moving forward, you will be able to achieve what you want.”
“Thank you for the advice, Master.”
Cardenas smiled slightly and slipped into Regnator.
Wow. Whirling.
The army of weapons was stored, and the loot scattered on the battlefield was automatically collected using telekinesis.
Meanwhile, Raoul slowly walked somewhere.
The sword in his hand was reaching towards someone.
“Now then, would you mind revealing your identity? “Who are you and what are you doing here?”
The tip of Raoul’s sword.
There, a young man with black hair was raising both hands and smiling awkwardly.
“surrender.”
* * *
“what do you think about it?”
Raoul asked, frowning.
“well. It didn’t seem like a particularly trustworthy impression. “How about just keeping it in mind for now?”
“That’s right, but for some reason, he was an unpleasant guy.”
“Maybe it’s because of the energy I feel from him. Although it was weak, it was definitely the energy of the ‘dragon’.”
“Hmm…”
Raoul rubbed his chin for a moment as if he was troubled.
Just now.
The dark-haired young man who playfully shouted surrender did not seem to have any intention of fighting Raoul.
“…I just wanted to see it with my own eyes. Well, it seems like there’s a lot of potential.”
The guy who said that said a few more things that were hard to believe, and finally spoke.
“Oh, since we met like this, I’ll give you a service. Waiting in front of this is Dylo Monet, the Marquis of the Demon World. It has characteristics of darkness and division. Then, try your best for the rest of the fight.”
Then, when he tried to turn around, Raoul stretched out his hand and grabbed him.
But what I could grasp was just an illusion.
Like a mirage, the black-haired young man disappeared before Raoul’s eyes.
‘It’s an illusion that deceives my senses…’
I was even more curious about the guy’s identity, but there was no time to worry.
“Let’s hurry. “It will become more dangerous as time passes.”
The black magic energy felt from afar was gradually becoming stronger.
* * *
Beat several battles and traps.
Fortunately, there was no enemy as threatening as the Imperial Demon Lord and his party, so Raoul did not stop walking.
And where we finally arrived.
In the middle of the large hall, the stairs leading upwards were twisted like a twist.
And there were fifteen doors on all sides of the hall.
Raoul opened one of the doors and came out.
Raoul tried to push on one of the doors next to him, but it didn’t budge.
‘It’s a door that only opens from the outside.’
And it seemed that those who had fallen to other places were also gathered here.
“I guess we were the fastest.”
Ravel said, looking around.
“I know. “I thought maybe a guy named Noel might have arrived first.”
The hall was quiet and there was no sign of anything.
“What are you going to do? “You still have time until your appointment time.”
Before entering the Tower of Demon World.
There was a plan I made with my swordsman father.
If there is a place where we can join before going up to the final floor, we will stop and wait for the group.
Of course, I didn’t just wait, I set a certain amount of time.
I also thought about collaborating not only with Raoul and his group but also with other tower raiders who entered separately.
Raoul raised his head and looked at the ceiling.
The hall was quiet, but beyond that.
The dark magic energy flowing from the top floor was unusual.
“Let’s go up.”
Ravel also nodded at Raoul’s words.
It would be nice if allies joined, but if other raiders appear first.
And if they were not willing to cooperate, there could be variables in the tower attack.
‘I think I can tell just by looking at this space. ‘I wonder what the intention was.’
At first glance, it seemed like the perfect place to rest your tired body and prepare for the final battle, but there was evil lurking beyond it.
The ‘power of God’ is said to be obtained by climbing the tower to the end.
If he had made it this far on his own, there was no way he wouldn’t have been greedy.
‘What is self-reliance? Or, if we keep each other in check and take the time.’
Isn’t that exactly what they want?
‘It would be better to just see the end alone rather than engage in a decisive battle with an unreliable ally at your back.’
And to be honest, if the enemy was difficult for Raoul to take on alone, there was no way the swordsman and his father would join together to dramatically increase his chances of victory.
If we end it sooner, we can increase the survival rate of the two people who are fighting somewhere down there.
“Then I’ll go up.”
Unlike before, Raoul, who had summoned Master Cardenas’s clones in advance, confidently climbed the stairs.
And the moment he touched the ceiling, a brilliant magic circle glowed and engulfed his body.
* * *
Faaat!
Raoul’s aura of brilliance exploded.
Squeeze!
‘this. I knew it!’
Unlike usual, the aura of brilliance did not show its full power.
At best, it spread out with a radius of about 10 meters centered on Raul, creating a hemispherical dome.
And at that border, sacred power, dark magic energy, and an unknown energy collided and sparked and oxidized.
“Hoo. “He’s a well-prepared guy.”
Someone’s voice echoed inside the dome.
It felt as if everyone was talking at once.
Raoul did not respond but quietly glanced around.
The voice continued to speak regardless of Raoul’s reaction.
“Normally, as soon as you enter, you’ll panic and be engulfed in darkness. It’s no use trying so hard to look around. “You won’t be able to see anything anyway.”
‘You talk a lot.’
Well, I could understand his feelings.
Since it’s been a while since you came down to the human world, wouldn’t you want to talk around and make fun of your prey?
‘But there is something wrong.’
Outside the sacred power barrier.
When I saw it with my own eyes, it was literally darkness itself.
As the black-haired young man said, it seemed that the characteristics of a demon were fully expressed.
But things changed when Raoul’s eyes turned golden.
His analytical eye was able to see through infinite darkness.
The top floor was a large hall like a hotel lounge.
However, there was a hole in the middle of the raised ceiling.
Just looking beyond the intense flow of black magic energy, an ominous dark red portal was slowly descending.
‘That’s the gate to the demon world!’
“What do you think will change if you hold on like that? How about just giving up and coming under me? The world will be destroyed the moment the Demon King descends anyway. I will save you at least and give you the territory. How do you feel? “That might not be such a bad offer.”
From what the demon said, the moment the door reached this place.
It seemed as if a being called the Demon King had descended on Connect.
‘To stop that…’
I turned my head and looked into the corners of the hall and was able to find the answer.
A group of people who appeared to be wizards were hiding in the barrier and activating a special magic circle.
Chijijijijiji!
Meanwhile, the power of darkness was tightening the dome of divine power even more, and the dome gradually began to shrink in size.
The problem was that I couldn’t find a shape that could be called a demon.
‘That’s right!’
Raoul, who was looking at the mass of darkness surrounding the outside of the dome, smiled slightly.
I realized that the main body of the demon was darkness itself.
However, usually enemies of this type often hide the central core even if their bodies are modified, but this one’s case was very unique.
‘You mean the core itself was completely split?’
It was said to have fission characteristics, and it seemed to have split and scattered its core into the darkness itself.
“label. Shall we begin?”
“Okay. Let’s finish it quickly.”
Now that we have figured out his identity and methods, all that remains is a clash.
An army of weapons began pouring out of Raoul’s inventory, and Ravel smashed the Spirit Tree sapling and World Tree branches into the ground.
Tsugagagagak!
An army of weapons engulfed in golden aura burst out from the dome of sacred power and penetrated the darkness, and the branches of the Spirit Tree and World Tree began to spread out in all directions.
