Book 3: Surviving In Another World From Zero
Chapter 60: The Resurrection of the Demon King
From his hand a root crept to injure Marsya who jumped backwards.
"You made that tree?"
"So I'm right, you're the one who did it kekeke, so this is your reward."
Trees sprung up around Marsya that soon ensnared him from all directions.
"This is the power that I extracted from the tree, I used to make the tree a host, but now I choose to make myself a host."
Veins similar to tree fibers sprung up on the woman's body, her hair began to whiten and her eyes were clearly similar in color.
"You've done something like that."
"This is for the resurrection of the demon king."
Marsya destroys the roots that ensnare him by shrouding himself in flames.
"Let me ask you one thing, what's your name."
"Arthasel."
"Then I'll remember after I kill you."
Artasela creates walls of wood as Marsya barges forward, his punches being held back creating a Sonic boom
"Have you ever heard that trees are stronger than iron? Iron will rust and brittle while trees won't."
Marsya leapt to the side as the tree changed shape by sending out barred attacks similar to sharp poles.
"Wouldn't a tree be destroyed by termites?"
"That only applies to ordinary trees, this tree is different, a strong tree that can even live in a desert land."
Marsya's body is propelled next to the wall creating a tremendous explosion, at the same time Nisa, Risa and Mery appear to slash the tree.
"You seem overwhelmed nyan."
"All of you?"
"We've defeated his enemy and are a little bored of his sigh."
"I'm also thinking the same but it looks like we found a strong opponent here," added Mery preparing with his shield and sword while Artasela looked down.
"Adding insects won't make a change."
Mery and Nisa stepped forward. Wood sprung into the air like a spear falling on them, Mery blocked it through his shield while Nisa was behind him but both were thrown into the building of the house.
"I won't be fooled by you guys."
The roots of the tree appeared from under his feet ensnaring him to the point of being unable to move, Marsya was about to free him before a huge sword had fallen from the sky keeping him at a distance, on top of the sword handle stood a man with blue hair.
"I think we've lost here Artasela."
"Blue, what do you mean?"
"Victor is dead."
"No way..is there a dangerous person here?"
"True, before the demon lord gives us our powers can't necessarily be his match, let's retreat for a while."
"You want to escape desu?"
"You should be lucky not to get killed now, me and Artasela are the leaders of the other two sects, I think we'll meet again soon."
They jumped up and fled just like that leaving a bitter taste in everyone's mouth.
Most importantly the city survived, which is why no one intended to pursue it.
The next few days inside the headquarters of Artasela sect as well as Blue had stepped into a large hall. There was a block of ice inside which was the figure of a woman wearing a black robe and black hair with bangs closing one of her eyes.
This ice will only melt with the sacrificed human soul.
Artasela who had turned back to her original form took out a red crystal ball that shot fire at the block of ice.
This fire was made by burning the human soul and slowly the ice was melting.
The two kneeled down to the figure who stepped forward and sat on the throne while crossing his legs.
"Welcome back demon lord Agarta, sorry we were a little long to resurrect you."
"It doesn't matter, what about my other bodies?"
"Save well."
The demon king Agarta had the ability to control corpses which was why during the fight against mankind she had never fought on the front lines, either, unfortunately the hero realized it and sealed himself with the goddess Naya it has made it a hassle.
"Destroy everything, now I will face the hero of the present generation with my own body."
"We understand."
"And the two of you I will grant you powers equivalent to a high-ranking demon."
"It is with pleasure that we both accept it."
Artasela and Blue lowered their heads strongly.
