Demon King
Chapter 136 The Birth of the Legion [4]

The excruciating pain almost robbed me of my senses. I miraculously prevented her from piercing my heart, thanks to the Goddess Touch that always roamed around me. But if it happens just a little bit, I will lose my life.

[You can withstand a deadly blow, his words are true.]

“Indeed, no one will beat him. So, from the premise, it is unfortunate. ”

Desperately absorbing the mana from the bullet caused a violent reaction within me. The shocks of the bullets that hit me brought a name to my mind.

Barbatus.

[I should have finished you off in one shot.]

Some of the bullet's power was lost, but the change was not as dramatic as Marcocias' circumstances. I expected that much; he would come very boldly if he had the same protection as he did.

[King, for now, you can't do anything to me. Until finally, you play dirty.]

“You were the one who fired the bullet and showed up. In other words, you are afraid of being called by name. ”

[….!]

As soon as he appeared, I made fun of the irritable newcomer with my provocation. He fired one more bullet, but A prevented him from penetrating this time.

“This dirty bug ..” Expression A is really rough. Undoubtedly, the experience of someone breaking through his shield was not pleasant to him. Barbatos sneered at him.

[You are also very weak. Guard dog, huh?]

“...” It's easy to see that A was troubled by his blow, but at that moment, the pink energy radiating from L enveloped us. His expression eased for a moment as L stood behind us on the wall.

“Do not get lured. You keep the castle safe, it's up to Fate to kill him. ”

“Cheh..”.

[You are still trapped in this dark, narrow place.]

The target of the conversation has changed. He had come to recover the wife of the Devil, and clearly now he was referring to L. Uncontrollable anger began to fill me. The bullet in my chest, the hole in the sky that she penetrated, looked at us and treated L as someone else's wife.

[Now, it's all over. Please, accompany me.]

“Destiny.” Ignoring Barbatos words, L turned to me.

“I hate to hear that sound. Please take care of that immediately. ”

“Understanding.” I think it was the first time he complained to me about anything. It was a funny complaint, but laughing did not suit the situation.

I'll take care of it.

“Hm.”

[It doesn't make sense.]

Dark clouds completely covered the underground sky. Barbatos floated underneath; unlike the other demons, she had a form similar to mine.

[Destiny. The next bullet will end you.]

A green jacket and hat, with a rifle in hand that radiated impossible energy. In the first shot, I could feel he was stronger than Rain or A, but now that I mentioned his name, it became less than that. He's still stronger than me.

“Whoo.” Looking at it, I had already recovered all the mana I had distributed throughout the battlefield, concentrating it into the Annihilation that was in my hands and the Echoes in my neck. It is very important to face it.

[Huh.]

The third bullet was fired. I thought I could avoid it, but the Goddess Touch fended it off from me. It won't be usable forever, so I'll have to find a way to deal with it myself soon. My body kept moving as I accepted my own mistakes, creating an alter ego as I rushed to Barbatos with Ubiquitous.

[Huhahah! What is that toy?!]

Alter egos exploded one after another. I already knew there was no way Ubiquitous, who was not yet perfect, could fight against him. There is no trick I can. However, the lost alter ego has its own role. Slowly began to color the sky, bit by bit, with my own mana, creating an environment where I could easily move. Moreover, this would be an unfavorable environment for Barbatos.

“Are you protected by it?”

I can't dodge the fourth bullet. It was flying at high speed even the Goddess Touch could not follow it properly. It burst out of my shoulder, destroying my muscles and bones. I didn't stop. My abilities are insufficient, but the Annihilation and Echoes of Souls, born amidst countless miracles and despair, possess the strength necessary to defeat him.

[Huh!]

A groan came out of Barbatos. As I desperately used the Reaper to hide and attack him with a dagger, he tried to block my attack by raising his rifle with both hands. I drew a silver line blankly, drawing blood.

Bang out! An empty voice echoed in the air. When he was attacked, he moved in space to aim at me again and shot. His reaction speed was insane, but this time I was able to avoid it.

“Can you do anything other than fire a gun?”

[You're holding a pretty dangerous toy that doesn't suit you.]

I followed him in the air. The further I let him go, the worse for me. In order to maintain the slightest hope in this desperate fight, I had to hold on tightly to him and swing my weapon.

Another bullet, faster than ever. A pair of distorted wings emerged from his back. They were hairy white with black stains - fallen angel wings. Energy emerged from it, the energy of the elves. It filled him with pain, and at the same time, gave him strength.

[Hoooo.].

His breathing became hard, and he looked at me.

[I will regain my position.]

“Will you?” I hit the air again and contacted him, but my attack failed. He read my movements. As I prepared for another bullet, his leg pierced through the air like a light and hit my stomach. I was struck by an elf spirit that denied all my existence, and pain radiated throughout my body.

“Khhh..”.

[This is his power. It was only possible for someone who controlled the power of elves and demons!]

“It would be better to rethink the meaning of your words..!” There was something out of place when those who praised the power of the elves called their leader a Devil.

[There is no need for underground anymore, or human needs. There's no place for you. Lost, you relic of the past!]

“You talk as if you have your own place!” Desperately using the regenerative power I had, I used my anger to heal myself. The bullet that flew in my head was blocked by the Goddess Touch, and the next one was destroyed by my dagger blade. It happened subconsciously, but I quickly became used to it. I gathered the mana within me, absorbing everything I could as I extended a hand towards death around me to gain strength.

[Squealing.].

What is left to say when we both know our words mean nothing to others? Several bullets were fired consecutively from his weapon, breaking the laws of physics. My reaction was immediate. While moving in the air with Ubiquitous, I used Annihilation and activated Destruction power to stop all bullets.

[Is that really everything?]

“Hm ?!” The next moment, the muzzle of his rifle was stuck in my mouth. I couldn't read his movements at all, but he could see my movements. It was an unnatural move, as we both appeared in the same space, and there was nothing in between his movements and attacks.

[Really, this is the end.]

And the bullet was fired, with enough force to blow my brain and not enough time for me to think about it. Right now, coincidentally, death was happening on the battlefield. Solas' sharp attack tore the leopard's brain to shreds, engulfing it with Predation energy. The energy flowed to me, filling me in an instant. The bullets that were fired tore through the roof of my mouth to attack my brain as my energy was digested completely.

[You have acquired the extinction skill.]

[Skill Destruction and Annihilation had fused to create the Flame of Destruction skill.]

The fire came out of my mouth and burned the bullets.

“Plauros.” After staying away safely, I muttered the name of a high-level demon that had just died. Satan with the power to overcome fire, like Andras. No wonder I was interested from the beginning.

[Getting strength from just one demon would not be enough.!].

“Only one?” The flames did not stop by burning the bullets and now licking Barbatos, who tried to shoot more. I stepped in the air to approach him with a glint in my eyes.

This is just the beginning. Fire enveloped his body, and a happy laugh came out of me as I saw him screaming. The air was open, and reinforcements that seemed to sense a crisis were pouring out. The battlefield grew increasingly chaotic as the demons cheered.

“All power will come to me!” But now, I enjoy it.

I thought that maybe I was the most affected by the Devil's Night as I slashed the enemy in front of me.
