The Successor To The Underworld Is A Cheat Player 13
But Ogre.
“…dare.”
Certainly a being who could wield magic.
No, more than that.
A wielder who could materialize and utilize magic.
“To insult my mother.”
A provocateur.
“What insult? It’s the truth, isn’t it.”
Sein, distanced from Ogre.
“The Seed Sprout having a size like yours is unheard of. We don’t ignore genetics, so your mother must be an ogre.”
“Shut up!”
“If you didn’t know, now you do. Your mother is…”
Crack!
There was a sensation as if the air was being torn apart.
“Ogre!”
“Shut up!”
This time, it was the ogre who moved.
His authority aimed for Sein’s heart.
“Crazy bastard.”
It was a misconception to think that the speed would be slow due to the inhuman strength.
He was a being capable of overwhelming agility with his massive physique and fully packed muscles.
Sein instinctively knew.
He couldn’t stop it.
In that case.
“Evade.”
At that moment, Sein reversed his sword grip and twisted the blade.
Clang!
The ogre’s fist clashed with the blade.
Sparks began to fly between the two.
Already wearing each other down, even the ogre’s fist, which was merely human flesh, had gained enough intensity to ignite sparks.
But the fact that sparks were flying meant.
Swish!
The sound of Sein deflecting the ogre’s attack as he desired.
Like dancing, Sein turned his body and moved his empty hand.
Dagger.
Shwoosh!
It pierced through the ogre’s neck.
“Feels like throwing a party.”
They distanced themselves once more.
“Gr… Grrrr!”
A roar full of anger echoed through the dark night of Borfeo.
The ogre turned his body.
His momentum was noticeably stronger than before.
“Insulting my mother is a sin. It won’t end so easily.”
“If calling an ogre an ogre becomes a sin, then I humbly accept it.”
“…Your tongue is slick.”
The ogre, who seemed unable to control his excitement just a moment ago, started to change his gaze.
“Bobah.”
“……?”
“Bova Demorus. That is my name.”
Kooooo!
A dazzling magic surged out from his entire body.
“What is your name, you crazy bastard.”
In response, Sein fixed his playful face.
“Sein.”
“I will kill you. Sein.”
Kwaaang!
An explosive surge of dazzling magic.
Taking shape, it enveloped Bova’s body.
Sein deliberately teased Bova, provoking his anger.
Their first encounter with a Demorus.
To understand what they were, what they possessed.
Pash!
And now, the secret was being revealed.
‘Ironclad.’
A rather rare type of skill.
Absorbing the magic of steel, imbuing magical properties with the nature of steel.
And wrapping it around like armor.
Kwaaang!
Enhancing defense, attack, and physical abilities to the extreme, the reinforcement skill was none other than its true identity.
Bova’s fist embedded in the spot where Sein stood.
As if about to collapse, the impact shattered into fragments and exploded.
Sein was no longer there.
‘That was close.’
If he had tried to block or dodge, it would have been him who broke.
“What were you doing in the iron mine, extracting the magic of iron.”
The reason why Bova, also known as Ogre, was stuck in the iron mine was now clear.
“But I’ll show you, if this is all.”
Sein’s gaze changed.
Sein’s sword, spinning in the air, began to emit an even deeper blue light.
A sharp aura.
“No need to play around anymore.”
Sein’s sword swung towards Bova’s neck without hesitation.
An inescapable stance and speed.
However.
Clang!
A resounding metallic sound.
“I’ll take it from here. Sein Demorus.”
Boba, who blocked the sword with Ora in his mouth, grabbed Sein’s leg.
“Ah, damn.”
Kwahng!
Sein’s body turned into a club and slammed into the ground.
“Ugh.”
Sein groaned.
“I almost… bit the dust.”
The moment his body hit the ground, if he hadn’t twisted his body.
If he hadn’t reinforced his body with Ora.
“Tch.”
It would have been a devastating blow.
“……”
As if not even considering that Sein would survive, Ogre narrowed his eyes.
“Impressive.”
Ogre sincerely acknowledged Sein.
“What was that?”
Sein asked Ogre, who seemed surprised.
“It was an unexpected power.”
Sein, who was well aware of armor, knew the extent to which Ogre and Boba had reached due to the magic blowing in and the quality of Ora.
Hence he thought it was a sure move.
That extreme move.
Near Boba’s neck.
The red crystal that had blocked Sein’s sword disappeared and reappeared.
“……? You don’t know about the blessing?”
“Blessing?”
Boba laughed incredulously.
“You must be a candidate. If your guardian didn’t tell you about it.”
Kwaang!
Boba’s fists collided.
Then, the red crystal, which Sein had seen before, began to protrude slightly from Boba’s fists.
“If you hadn’t realized the blessing from the start, you wouldn’t have become a candidate. So, who is your guardian to make you go through this?”
“Arlin. Know her?”
Boba’s eyes widened at Sein’s words.
“The Witch of Destiny?”
“The Witch of Destiny?”
“She chose you?”
The lad, who had calmed down after his mother’s story, began to get excited again.
“Did you receive her choice?”
“Indeed, seems like he’s famous.”
“No way.”
Kuoooh!
“If that’s true then….”
Bova’s energy surged even more.
“I thought I’d seen it all, but now it seems real.”
The surging power of Bova suddenly felt like it had reached its limit.
“I will defeat you.”
Pah-ang!
Bova shot out like a rebound.
And thus, his fierce onslaught began.
Thud! Kwang! Thud!
Even describing Bova’s punching movements as impressive would be an understatement.
It was simply raw, street-fighting moves.
Kwang!
But when it was Bova displaying those moves, the story was different.
The ground cracked, the air tore apart.
Kaaang!
Even the steel sword wielded by Sein was no match for Bova, who was practically a wild beast.
Suk!
Even if Sein’s blade pierced through Bova’s flesh, it was far from enough to stop his movements or deal a fatal blow.
In contrast.
Jweo-eong-!
With Bova’s speed increasing gradually, if Sein tried only to defend against his attacks.
Thud!
From Noble mtl dot com
Sein was sent flying, rolling on the ground.
A stark difference in power.
Even at this moment, Bova’s armor seemed to be getting stronger.
Amidst the explosion, Bova’s fist struck once more.
Thud!
Shockwaves poured out, and in that moment when the explosion subsided.
Pinggrur.
Sein, spinning in mid-air, could be seen facing Bova.
Sein’s eyes spinning like a spinning top.
Swish.
It was slender like that of a lizard.
“…!”
Sensing something had changed, Bova’s fist flew towards Sein.
Kwaang!
Another explosion.
But the difference this time was that Sein didn’t bounce back like before.
Still suspended in mid-air without touching the ground, Sein adjusted his posture and gripped the sword with both hands.
Clang!
It was the moment when Boba’s seemingly unbreakable armor finally cracked.
Two Demolers locked eyes.
That moment.
Thud!
Boba felt like his heart sank.
As if he had become the prey in front of the predator.
“What… is this…?”
His body still trembling, the flow of magic beginning to falter.
It was the inevitable limit of a species.
Sizzle.
The primal fear that a being like a dragon instills.
“Dragon Fear.”
It was the power of the special inheritance Sein had just received.
In an instant, the disrupted flow of magic affected Boba’s whole body.
Cracks appeared in his sturdy armor-like plate.
Clang!
Sein’s sword began to pierce through Boba’s fist.
Boom!
Boba tried to strike with his other fist, but it was futile.
Sein’s sword was already penetrating both fists.
“Aaargh!”
Boba screamed in pain.
When the instinctual fear subsided within his agony.
Crack!
The plate hardened again, pushing Sein’s sword away.
“Die! Sein Demoler!”
If this was all the means Sein had, it was over.
Boba thought so as he tried to unleash all his magic.
“How…?”
It was the only thing Boba could utter.
Sein’s arms, combined with the sword.
“This is how you wear armor, you fool.”
As if it were his own, he exerted strength while clad in the armor.
In the following moment, Sein spun once more.
Thunk!
Fist and torso.
Fwoosh!
It was the moment when Sein, who had cut through all that, finally set foot on the ground.
Sein’s journey through thousands of lives while playing Sanctuary.
Despite that, a Build meticulously honed to witness an ending unseen before.
That was it.
“Tough as nails. Ogre brat.”
The current Sein was known as Sein Demoros.
While it was challenging to utilize the experiences from his past lives when Sanctuary was just a game, the world had not changed.
This was a world where what was once called skills, if one could wield magic, could be used as techniques.
The reason Sein had been confined to Chichiron, a rural backwater, was due to the Tutorial, a restriction.
Thump!
It was due to the incomparably lacking magic power.
Despite trying the magic manipulation techniques taught by his masters from past lives and attempting to utilize the fragments of flowing magic stones, his magic did not increase.
It was likely one of the restrictions named Tutorial.
But the current Sein…
Thump!
Could be said to have all those constraints lifted under the name of Dragon Heart.
