2nd Rank Has Returned - 2nd Rank Has Returned chapter 284

284 – Surprise-3

Leo tried to pass by the succubus.

Fighting in large numbers in this terrain was a bad strategy for both Aria and Leo, and was nothing but a waste of time and manpower.

If the archdemon inside found the Dragon Heart, he couldn’t let it completely absorb him.

More than anything.

‘…For some reason, we’re scared to fight together.’

I intuitively felt as if my shrimp would explode in a whale fight.

It is clear that Leo is above those evil intentions and it is not enough to say that this is Aria’s ideal, but Leo ran into the armory as if running away.

“Aye~! “It’s not like you, you’re leaving me out…!”

Emma radiated black magic from her eyes, as if she had been drugged, even though her arm had been amputated.

The fresh blood on the ground, like a shadow like a demonic eye, created a barrier.

The moment when Leonardo hurriedly tried to destroy the barrier with an exploding axe.

Quad deud deuk!!

“Go! Leo!”

Aria’s lightning slashes through her sword strike and evaporates the barricade of her blood.

Like [Aria of Martial Arts and Magic], The sword strike exploded only the wall that Leo could aim at exactly like living magic.

“Yes, yes!”

Leo moved forward, feeling a strong sense of fear at his ability to surpass his own magic so easily.

In the current situation, confidence was greater than fear, so I headed inward without hesitation.

“…You’ve been a little annoying since a while ago.”

As soon as Leo left, the succubus contorted his face in a hideous way.

His arm had already sprouted again.

No, rather than saying it was sprouting, there was no blood splattering even on the clothes, as if it had not been cut at all.

Like a hallucination.

“My Leo seems to be in high spirits because he likes me…!”

Wow!! Wood clatter!!

Before she could finish the story, Aria’s kick hit the succubus in the face.

Instead of being blown away by the impact, the flesh was crushed along with the bones and scattered on the ground.

Even though he didn’t use the Holy Blood Fighting Technique, his movements were already faster and more accurate than when he first faced the Demon King.

‘…The taste was definitely there.’

Following Black Aria’s additional explanation, White Aria was also able to understand her presence behind her.

“I guess there is no such thing as patience. “I don’t know why Leo likes this gorilla-like woman.”

That was the only way to explain the attack that would have killed a normal demon, much less the fact that the dirty flesh that poured out in the front came back together again in the back.

“I also think that’s excessive. ”

When our eyes met, the number of succubi had already increased to two.

There was no sign of popularity coming in. The hole in the armory was blocked without even noticing it, so the act of entering was impossible.

“For a warrior, his tone is violent and vulgar. “I feel sorry for Leo.”

“Is that what Leo likes? “I heard you like getting hurt and dying~ Surprisingly, it was M~”

I could tell with my senses strengthened by elemental magic.

It wasn’t a copy or anything.

An entity embodied as an illusion by another soul through demonic energy.

It had the ability to annihilate the civilians at the imperial banquet just by its substance.

“This place itself was a trap to implement hallucinations.”

The demonic energy inside the armory, like the Red Sanctuary, was acting as a barrier to amplify the power used by the demon king’s descendants.

Rather than using the word barrier, it would be more accurate to say that it embodies a small world.

“Okay. “I thought you only had muscles in your head, but your senses are fine.”

As if they had nothing more to hide, the queens of the dream demons revealed the demonic energy covering their surroundings and released a strong scent.

I was able to feel the power of the hallucinations spreading through the odor, which was thinner than the strong medicine I had smelled in the red-light district.

“It is difficult to use the rude expression ‘hallucination.’ “The word ‘fantasy’ is not romantic…”

Chaaa!

The sword wind blows again, and two people are torn apart by the sharp wind at the same time.

Despite blood splattering and twisting, the succubus does not die.

As if he barely felt any pain, he sneered and gathered his body back into the black mist.

“It’s tougher than a cockroach. “Is there no concept of death at all?”

It is natural as it is a hallucination.

Because those demons could only be seen and felt, and were not real.

“Ahahahaha~! Of course! “What we exist now is an illusion itself!”

As the black illusion clumped together with the blood, the succubi multiplied to five, like single cells dividing.

The appearance, reminiscent of a Changgwan show, and the promiscuous attire that explicitly targeted Leo were enough to make Aria frown.

“I guess the fake princess outside was a joke of yours.”

“That’s right~! “I could only make dolls like that outside.”

As an extension of the explanation, arms sprout from the ground.

Like plants growing, like zombies, numerous hands were trying to grab Aria’s ankles from the floor.

“Even this is possible here now.”

The reason for such an ineffective attack was to further materialize the power of hallucination by making people feel the disgust and fear inherent in humans.

Although it may be possible to act physically, the current attack was a hallucination that acts on the mind.

Following her holy sword, her divine power continued to spurt out and covered Aria’s body.

The reason why the hallucinations are not working directly on Aria now is because her divinity is pushing away and purifying the demonic energy.

“Now my true body belongs to the Great Devil, the Demon King. Therefore…”

Kwagwagagagaang!!

Even without swinging a sword, rocks crush succubi like showers from the ceiling.

“You mean you won’t die? “Because it was an illusion to begin with.”

Aria clicked her tongue as she looked at the dream demons blooming again.

It would not be an exaggeration to call them immortal in this space.

“You’re trying really hard to get the answer right… You cut off the person talking earlier…”

Soon, undead who looked like the owners of her arms crawled up from the ground.

“Very cocky.”

Even if purified with divine power, the undead only burn for a moment and do not disappear.

If only demonic energy was injected into the realized hallucination, no matter where or how it was attacked, it could not be destroyed.

“And now, I am receiving a dragon heart from the Great Devil as well as backup from the Demon King.”

I couldn’t completely absorb the Dragon Heart, but now I have the help of the Demon King.

At least within this realm, demonic beings were able to create infinite illusions.

“I know your specialty. “You’re as good at elemental arts as you are at sacred arts, right?”

Even without hearing the sarcastic tone, Aria already noticed it.

Spirits exposed to the magical energy spreading in the air die one after another. It is not just a level of sleep, but the mana itself is dominated and the ego is destroyed.

Considering that the basis of these illusions is hypnosis, it was only natural that spirits, which are intelligent bodies of mana, could not use them.

“The divine power and swordsmanship you boast about won’t work anyway, and you won’t be able to use elemental magic, which is the only variable…!”

Kwajijijijijik!!

A ray of divinity being fired.

Like burning a malignant tumor, the devil’s soldiers evaporate, but even the evaporated vapor is restored.

Even though the entire arsenal was ejected with divinity, all the demonic energy that exists around here is only temporarily purified and does not disappear.

“I told you to listen when people talk! “He’s a hero…!”

Chaaa!!

The enraged monster summoned the giant monster’s jaws with demonic energy, but Aria cut the illusion into pieces without changing her expression.

“＜…Were you people?＞”

Cold tone. The tone was so mechanical that it was hard to think of it as Ariasviel’s usual voice.

The succubus instinctively realized this.

From the swordsmanship to the tone of voice, it is exactly the same as what the Demon King saw in the first episode.

As it was directly attributed to the Demon King, the memories of that time were rooted as instincts.

“”

Fear creeps in.

Fear did not come from just the memory of the Demon King.

“…Ugh…! Argh…!”

I felt pain.

It was clear that neither recovery nor the amount of demonic energy was reduced, but the pain was definitely felt throughout my body.

“…Illusion…There is definitely no pain in illusion…!”

“”

If the opponent is a hallucination that exists through the mind, all you have to do is collapse the mind itself.

Thanks to the fact that Aria now exists as a spirit, the method of directly shocking the mind was extremely simple.

“”

She knew about Ain’s method of attacking spiritual bodies, as she had already heard of it once.

If you add the exorcism power of the holy sword to that trick, inflicting pain on such a bastard is as easy as using vegetables on a cutting board.

“Well… Then…!”

It begins to distort the terrain around it and soon seeks to crush Ariasviel.

This is not an illusion, but also a mixture of the embodiment of physical force itself. It is impossible to block and avoid all of that with divine power or swordsmanship.

She was now a Majin herself who could not be defeated, whether in a long-term or short-term battle.

Quad!! Paagagagagak!!

“That’s ridiculous…!”

The holy sword stuck in the ground creates a flash of light and wind pressure.

Like an earthquake, a flash of light splits the earth, and the top-level black magic and tons of cannonballs flying in with nothing but the wind return.

“…That’s ridiculous…! I can’t use elemental magic…!”

“”

The wind that was blown out just now rotates in Ariasviel’s hands. In the other hand, flames explode as if flame magic had been activated.

“”

All of the elemental techniques used so far are merely phenomena that occurred within Aria’s body.

I did not use the power of spirits that exist outside.

I only borrowed the form of power.

“…That…There’s no way something like that is possible…!”

“”

Quaaa!!

“aaa!!”

Aria’s mana combines as the spirit of wind and flame and explodes with sword energy.

Even if it is recovered, the torture of burning every single piece of flesh makes even the most relaxed prostitute scream like a pig.

The mana in Aria’s body is already like a spirit.

At the point where she was able to manipulate the spirit, which was living mana and magic, within her body, attacks like this could be used continuously with a single swing of her sword.

“

The memory I am talking about was not Baek Aria’s only trauma.

Black Aria, although you could say it started from her first episode.

Now, the division between black and white has become meaningless.

“…It’s because of you! Entire…!”

The succubus, who was so energetic, was cornered and childishly attacked.

A fragile and young mind compared to an overly mature body.

A feeling of discomfort comes over me.

It’s like looking at yourself.

“…If only you had done it right as a hero…! I’m…! “I went this far…!”

“”

Inversely, the rat, the Holy Sword, cuts down the leader of the dream demon that is betraying him.

Even though it is a quick attack, the pain is again amplified by the residual current.

“”

When she wanted to overthrow the Demon King by sacrificing so much.

Giving up on her love, giving up on her life as a woman.

Sacrificing my brother, sacrificing my grandfather.

Leaving her father behind, and even her mother behind.

This is the demon lord that was defeated like that.

It means that he defeated the source of all evil by throwing away his own body in order to defeat it with certainty.

“”

Even though it wasn’t perfect, it was the result of putting everything in effort.

Many lives were saved, and the demon king was definitely destroyed.

“”

Most of the people he trusted and saved cried out in gratitude, and when he died, they calmly accepted the demonic energy as if it had never happened before.

Just because it is convenient.

It was the same that year.

More than that, that young b*tch’s sins are filthy.

“

The collection of evil spirits gradually begins to shake.

As the mental body has been forcibly fused, the mental attack of the words spoken now is strong.

Rather, not all Succubus Queens became demons with that intention, so the mental attacks were fatal.

“…Uh…! Anyway…!! Now I will never die!! What’s more, the great devil that Leo tried to kill also dies…!”

Kwasik!!

Aria’s holy sword pierces the flesh that sneaks in from behind. As if there was no need to see the surprise attack, he looked straight ahead and cut into pieces behind her.

“”

Weapons used in round 1.

The Succubus Queen felt that any hope she had was disappearing.

Relics, magic swords, anti-demonic weapons, anti-dragon slaying weapons, Leo possessed probably more weapons than this arsenal.

In their complex, intertwined memories, the memories of those weapons being burned, compacted, and torn apart stimulated fear.

I imagined what would happen if that changed to the present tense.

“”

Holding out a holy sword that surpasses even such weapons, Aria cuts down the demons covered in her hallucinations one by one.

“”

It is not necessary to use a ray of light, but to crush and squeeze out the pain with sincerity.

“”

She wants revenge on the man she saved.

“”

She also wanted to express her anger at having only looked at such a man without being able to provide him with any help.

“”

In order to receive the compensation Leo deserved, he had an obligation to do so.

“”

Even Leo’s mother, whom she finished, would want it.

The anger named Aria, as the name of the spirit, burns the demonic family endlessly.
