SSS - Class Suicide Hunter
Chapter 45's
Chapter 45 – Demon King Name (2)
One punch.
I hold a sword, though,
Two extremes.
There is something I can only cut.
- Gong-ja!
Blinks.
- Now!
I look in front of me.
No. gabe.
What was in front of me showed me.
his head is empty!
In front of me, there was a person with a black body.
Waste water flows endlessly from their bodies.
Even if I cut water, it's still water, so there's a lot to cut.
One sword, two extremes.
I cut what I need to cut.
-Keaaahhhhh!
As they were cut, wastewater flowed from the Black King.
Maybe not waste water.
If yes, why is it red?
Bloods.
Bright red blood flowed from the Demon King's body.
- Uk .... keuk….!
The devil wavers and retreats. One step. Two steps. When he took his third step, the wastewater did not flow from the right hand of the Demon King.
The Demon King's footsteps were inundated with waste water, but the puddle shrank with each step he took.
And finally.
- Keuk, heuk ... uekk… ..
The wastewater completely separated itself from the Demon King's body.
Drip. Drip.
Wastewater can no longer flow, so blood flows down.
The color of life is red.
[The Fallen Rain Demon King creature is becoming increasingly dim. ]
And the Almighty is no more.
- No..... This can't, uek….!
The Demon King covered his left arm with his right hand. Blood flowed from his left hand. The Demon King pressed tightly against his left arm as if he was forbidding a single drop of blood from dripping out.
- My son .... not like this... .hate….
“Retreat.”
I spoke in a low voice.
The Demon King stopped as if he had been cut off by my voice.
“Fall back to the 20th floor. You can't win against me anyway. Go back to your base, to the Demon King's Castle. ”
Even without seeing ‘map dunia’, it is clear what happened.
Blue territory. The human territory covered the continent again. It's past the hills. It passed through an area called the goddess shield. One-eyed giant temple, the field where the fairies dance, the waterfall where mermaids play, the mountains where dragons fly.
Meanwhile, the red area is,
“Back to where you started.”
One point.
That's just one point.
Just like how the fire extinguished after burning everything that passed through it, there was only a small red dot on the world map.
That place is,
“Your last stop. Demon King. ”
The Demon King groaned.
you….
The Demon King raised his head. The wastewater had stopped and blood was flowing, but half of the Demon King's body had been burnt black. So is his face. His red eyes flashed, but that was it. The Demon King glared at me with a face covered in ash.
“Hmm.”
The Sword Saint speechlessly gripped his sword.
“I will hand over the final attack on the King of Death.”
The witch slowly pulled back her mirror.
There is no chance to turn things around. They have no weaknesses. Is it because I saw the trauma of the Demon King? I felt like this was the situation where they were surrounded by soldiers in the village.
-uk!
There was nothing else the Demon King could do but escape. But the reason why the Demon King could not easily decide was because he also knew about it. It's the same.
Just like how avoiding the flames only extended your life for a while, even if the Demon King retreated to the 20th floor, his defeat had just been postponed.
- Impurities….! The filth!
Blood dripped from his mouth.
[The Demon King has decided to retreat. ]
[Autumn Demon King Rain falls back to the 20th floor! ]
Ja.
Running away even though you know you're going to burn to death is something a human would do.
The further the Demon King escaped, the closer he became to being human.
[Confirming the retreat of the Demon King. ]
[ Historical changes. ]
[The 19th floor stage is being revised. ]
The world was covered by raindrops of light again.
After I confirmed that the Demon King had left, I turned to look back.
“Holy Sword.”
“Mm.”
The Black Dragon Master.
“Ya.”
“Sorry. I want to clean the 20th floor alone. ”
I bow my head.
“Thank you for helping me so far. But I want to finish it off with the Demon King. Please let me go alone. ”
“· …………….”
The witch shrugged her shoulders.
“Good. I'm fine with that. You contributed the most in our trip here, and I promise not to move for 5 days like you said. I broke that promise and helped you, so honestly I will be quiet this time. ”
“Hmm.”
The Sacred Sword reattached his sword to its sheath.
“After today, it's been 5 days. Meet me after you're done with the 20th floor. We have a lot to talk about. ”
“Ya sir. Entiendo. ”
I bow my head again.
“Thank you.”
And I moved.
To the 20th floor.
[Welcome, King of Death. ]
Demon King.
To the village where Estelle was born.
[You have entered the boss stage. ]
Second time.
This is the second time I have entered the boss stage.
Compared to that time…. There are many similarities and many differences.
[The challenger is the Death King.1 person. ]
[Good luck with you. ]
First, notifications.
As in ‘Hellfire Residence’, there are only 1 challenger. It was a solo game. The tower, as always, prayed for me.
Yet.
There is something very different than before.
[A clear gift has been given. ]
[Gifts from the 11th floor to the 19th floor are all counted. ]
Now, I am no ordinary challenger.
I was a conqueror who had cleared the 11th floor up here.
The tower greeted me, a conqueror, with 9 different trumpet sounds.
[Calculating 11th floor net prize. ]
[Calculating 12th floor net prize. ]
[Calculating 13th floor net prize. ]
[Calculating 14th floor net prize. ]
[Calculating 15th floor net prize. ]
[Calculating 16th floor net prize. ]
[Calculating 17th floor net prize. ]
[Calculating 18th floor net prize. ]
[Calculating 19th floor net prize.].
Keep working hard.
I took a step forward.
[ Calculation is complete. ]
Listen to the melody that welcomes my footsteps.
[The Tower acknowledges your achievements. ]
[The power to change any skill is given to you! ]
[As long as this is not an EX Class, you can strengthen any skill. ]
It was like an anthem that blessed me.
The tower had made the stage before. The direction of his search was also decided. But I didn't walk the paved path for me. I created a completely new stage and finished the stage using my methods.
The tower has acknowledged my methods.
As if it's trying to say ‘it's also good.’
[The Death King's power is being adjusted back! ]
It happened all along.
[The limited power of an apostle is given to you. ]
[With this gift, you are given limited authority, ]
[The Skills you want to strengthen are up to you! ]
Stage not selected before.
A method not selected before.
Just like that, the prize was also not chosen before.
‘... Hm.’
I nodded my head in my heart.
“They handed me a choice, so.”
I don't know why the tower was built. I don't know who did it either. I don't know if the tower is filled with life from another world.
There's still a lot I don't know.
But I vaguely knew what the tower was like now.
‘Creatures that oversee our decisions.’
And it was a creature that remembered my decision.
‘Good.’
Kashings!
Aku mengangkat pedangku.
‘I will show you my decision this time too.’
Artifacts used by imperial ancestors.
[Sacred Protection Sword Lefanta Aegim] reflected my Aura, shining white.
I pointed my sword at the [Enemy] in front of me.
“Good.”
The entrance to the 20th floor.
It stood on a path leading to a small village.
“Time to meet your end, Demon King.”
It growled slowly.
It looked like a ferocious beast that had been severely injured.
A savage beast being chased by the flames of the world could only have a small shelter like this. It was a path that led to the village.
- That's mine….
In the middle of the road with white flowers, the beast stood alone.
-This is my village!
It's shouting.
- Don't you dare destroy my paradise!
And his voice sounded.
[Boss stage is opening. ]
The stage curtain is open.
The stage of defeating the weakest boss in the world.
“· …………….”
I looked up at the sky for a moment.
Its clear. It's blue.
The sky was originally a blue region.
Looking at the cloudless sky, I'm sure.
Today.
The rain did not fall.
Acacia flowers float in the air.
The path was soundlessly covered with white flowers, and on it, only the sound of the breathing of people filled the air.
I can't forgive you.
His breath sounds harsh.
I can't forgive you! In my eyes, the burn marks are still left! The burning scent was etched into my head! That fire! You are! Do you think I'll forget all your crimes!
He screamed while swinging his sword.
Every time someone shouted, the world became much smaller.
The 20th floor is very small.
Looking at the world map, this floor was not even a hundredth of the other floors. It's just a red dot on the map.
This is the 20th floor boss stage.
- Will return! You're trying to go back!
It was an ordinary village.
and burn my paradise again!
It was the smallest stage in the world.
And the weakest boss monster in the world.
-Again! You bastard always! Like that!
On the path with Acacia flowers, she cried. It was a scream. The weak voice. But this world was so small that it was only filled with the screams of one person.
Small world.
A small village.
“Our situation has been completely reversed.”
I blocked the Demon King's sword.
Blades clashing with blades.
“Do you remember? On the 12th floor, you are the Demon King and I am a warrior. You attack, and I defend. Hey, the world's fair enough. Ok? Now, you hold on. ”
-die!
Sorry, Demon King.
I turned my sword.
“That sentence means nothing to me.”
My sword pushed the Demon King away without too much trouble. The amount of power itself is different. The Demon King's physical strength was already insignificant. The Demon King could not help it, and he finally showed his waist.
Blind spot.
My sword cut the Demon King's upper body.
- Beahhhhhhh!
Red blood came out.
[The Fallen Rain Demon King creature became faint. ]
Blood is flowing out.
White Acacia flowers on the trail.
Red blood dripped down on them.
“You're weak. Demon King. ”
I took a step forward.
“You've become very weak.”
- Yes, keup....uek..., Keukkkkk!
“But it's still not enough.”
I swung my sword.
“Become weaker.”
you….
More than now.
My sword split the Demon King.
The white flowers are getting red.
[The Existence of the Autumn Rain Demon King became increasingly dim. ]
A step.
[The Existence of the Autumn Rain Demon King became increasingly dim. ]
Another move.
Every time the Demon King retreated, the white flower faded away.
Every time I step forward, the Acacia flower becomes redder.
Not just that.
-Keuk....cn… ..
The Demon King's body was revealed bit by bit.
Hates. Contrition. Hatreds.
The wastewater is skinned.
- No….
The top of his feet was revealed.
- No…! No, no more than that…
Both of his feet on the path are shown.
-GR… ..
His left and right arms are completely visible.
The top and bottom of her waist were revealed.
His neck is revealed.
-Tower, no.. ..no ……!
And.
Finally, his face was cut off.
[The Existence of the Autumn Rain Demon King became increasingly dim. ]
Chin.
Lips above and below.
The tip of his nose, and his cheeks.
[The Existence of the Autumn Rain Demon King became increasingly dim. ]
Red eyes.
Pale forehead.
[The Existence of the Autumn Rain Demon King became increasingly dim. ]
And finally.
[The Existence of the Autumn Rain Demon King became increasingly dim. ]
Her hair was like a lion's mane.
Each strand has lost its black color.
The last wastewater flows down.
- Ah……
It groans. His long arms were trembling. It was unable to withstand the weight of the sword.
uh, uh ……
Something under the Acacia tree was no longer the Demon King. You did not mention something that could not even raise their swords properly as a Demon King.
And.
[The Existence of the Autumn Rain Demon King became increasingly faint. ]
[The Fallen Rain Demon King could not maintain his authority. ]
The tower no longer called him the Demon King.
[Class re-adjustment begins. ]
[The nickname of the Autumn Rain Demon King has been taken. ]
Something that used to be the Demon King trembled.
- No……!
White light wrapped it.
It was shaking like it was being attacked by a bee.
- No……! Nah! No no!
But it doesn't matter. White light wrapped it without fading.
[Tells you again. ]
It started.
[The nickname of the Autumn Rain Demon King is being taken. ]
[The Autumn Rain Demon King Authority is being taken over. ]
It screamed.
ahhh… ..!
The throne of absolute power has fallen.
ahhh, ahhhh! Uhhhh!
He stretched out his hand like he was trying to catch a spark of light. But it can't. It just escaped from his finger.
It fades and spreads.
ah, -Ah,
And in his place.
“Ahh,”
There was a small, weak animal.
“Ah, euh....no, uek... ahhhh.”.
It was not the Fallen Rain Demon King.
Nor is it the Owner of Nightmares.
It was not a saint in the countryside.
Only weak creatures.
“Iya.”
I gripped my sword.
“You're pretty weak now.”
“Don't come.. ..don't come near.”.
Then stop me.
Keep working hard.
I took one step closer.
“What will you stop with me, your words? Your sword? Try anything. If not,”
A step closer.
I'll stand in front of you.
It took a step back.
That speaks to a lot of effort.
“You…. All of you, for me, for my children....you don't even deserve to do this,”.
“You are wrong.”
I took one step forward.
“As you said, I am an outsider who came from another world. Yep. Everyone allied to burn you and your village – Emperors, military, everything. Let's say no one on this continent is free of that responsibility. But not me. I am a complete outsider. Hunters like us have freedom of choice. ”
“Ut...”
“You do not deserve to hold me accountable. And of course,”
I took one more step forward towards what was drifting away from me.
“You have no power to stop me.”
It vibrates. Shaking out of his mouth.
“I… .I did not do... ..”
“Are you trying to say that you didn't make a mistake?”
“ME! I just recovered.. ”.
“[Estelle] may be as scared as you are.”
It jerks.
“She may be screaming to live longer. He may be screaming that he doesn't want to die. He's looking for his father. But what are you doing? ”
I spoke nonchalantly about what she was doing because it was being Estelle, and having memories of humans.
“You stick your teeth into human flesh. You eat what you want, and become it. And is that all? You swallow the newborn that his mother entrusts to you. And you act like you're the best, saying that you're saving people. You betrayed the mother who entrusted you with her child. ”
“I. I didn't do that. I just… .. ”
“You are hiding the truth. Even though you know that people will misunderstand, you keep quiet because you think you will be treated as a monster. You are deceiving people. ”
I took one step forward.
“Even if you make excuses, it doesn't matter. No one knows you as much as I do in this world. What you experience, how you feel, and how you change. I know everything.”
“· …………….”
“You are not an impeccable saint. You are not an innocent victim. We don't even have to talk about the mother and her child. As I said, when you swallow Estelle, you lose your innocence and, ”
“ME!!”
And it screamed in response.
I don't know!
I'm stopping.
With gritted teeth, trembling, he covered his face. Shouts came out of his fingers.
“I don't know. I have no memory of man.. lore, I do not know.. ”.
The meaning of asking to be saved.
Begging.
“Then... .then, I don't know what it means.. i,”.
“Did you say you did it because you didn't know?”
“Yes! So I, if only I knew, I would never, ”
He tried to say it wouldn't eat it, and I cut it.
That's what humans do.
It became speechless.
“The king you killed will be able to say the same. No, they'll do it. And they probably did, right? What they told you before you covered their world with the blood of ‘
I don't know, I don't,
I don't know that you have no malicious intentions towards us.
I just thought you were a mad witch.
They explain themselves, though,
“Ut... ..”
Eventually, it became quiet.
“Sorry, I'm not so educated. I'm stupid. All I know is world justice. ”
Another step.
“More than retributive justice.”
Shoulders shaking.
“Eyes for eyes. Teeth change teeth. If you believe what you swallow to be human, fine. You have to go through the same thing. So, isn't that fair? ”
“What.... .what are you talking about...?”.
“Tower!”
I look up at the sky.
“I want to use a gift
I took out a gold card. It was the obvious reward I got after smashing the 11th to 19th floors. I have decided to use it on a skill.
+
[Hundred Ghost Call ]
Rank: SS
Effect: What you kill will be called a monster. The dead can't use their abilities since they're alive. They can't remember it either. They would be called as goblins, orcs, zombies, skeletons, etc.
※ However, you can only call them once a week.
+
Hundreds of Ghost Calls.
SS Class Skills.
I held the card up high in the air.
“You said I could customize the skill as I like!”
[The tower agrees with what you said. ]
There was a voice that responded to what I said.
[But you can't do too much. ]
[To help you understand, the tower gives you an example. ]
[Developing SS Classes into SSS Classes is possible. ]
I nodded my head.
From the beginning, there was only one thing I wanted.
“I asked to customize the Hundred Ghosts Summons skill!”
[The Tower questions your intentions. ]
“You don't have to touch anything! Just, memories. I hope you changed the section about ‘they can't remember it either!’ So if under my control, the summoned ones can remember their lives! ‘
Jerking.
It's stopping.
“You.... .what are you trying to do....?”
“How about that?! Doesn't that look logical! ”
I ignored Estelle and shouted.
“I didn't even ask for their ability to be saved! I didn't even ask for quiet time to be reduced. Storage! Only memories. I wish the people I killed could remember their lives! ”
Calm.
Silent sky.
[Your request is being calculated. ]
[ Counting.].
Moments later.
[The tower admits that it makes sense. ]
Permission arrived.
[ Checking the condition. ]
[Will you use the rewards from the 11th to 19th floor on the ‘Hundred Ghosts Summon skill? ]
“Ya.”
[The skill condition you want is as follows. ]
[If you will, the dead will retain their memories while they are still alive. ]
[Are you confirming this? ]
“Ya.”
[ Confirmation complete. ]
And.
[The King of Death request has been approved. ]
A white light surrounded my skill card.
A storm of light struck around.
When the lights were completely gone, I slowly observed my cards.
+
[Reincarnation of Hundreds of Ghosts ]
Rank: SSS
Effect: What you kill will be called a monster. The dead can't use their abilities since they're alive. But if you want, the dead will be able to retain their memories and appearance since they were alive. If you don't want to, they will only be summoned as monsters.
※ However, you can only call them once a week.
+
Reincarnation Hundreds of Ghosts.
It was the name of the first SSS Class skill I had.
‘Good.’
Everything I wanted happened.
I looked to see it.
Our eyes meet.
“From now on, I'll kill you.”
“If you don't like the phrase I'm killing you, just think of it as [Swallowing] as you do. Estelle, the sick, the kids. Like how you swallow it into your shadow. I'll kill you by the same method— ”
Stably.
I raised my sword.
“And I will save you in the same way.”
It was trembling in fear.
