How the Shadow of the Marquis Lives - How the Shadow of the Marquis Lives chapter 154

Chapter 154

The demon triggered the aura of the whole body. The blood starts to circulate rapidly and the whole body turns red. The demon’s expression contorted like a bloody slaughter at the rising pain.

But in return, he has acquired more physical abilities than ever before.

‘We have to make a decision quickly.’

A secret technique that, once used, will tatter not only the muscles and bones of the whole body, but also the mana path.

That’s why it should only be used in short-term battles, and even if you win like that, you’ll have to recuperate for several years.

That it was used against the Demon Dragon King, who was not even sure if he would win.

It meant that he really risked his life.

[…] … .]

For the Dragon King, it was a technique he had never seen before, but he quickly recognized the principle.

In addition, side effects.

For him, as long as he endures time, he will win easily. The ghost will take care of itself.

[cheeky.]

But of course it didn’t.

Winning against an insignificant human being in such a filthy way to waste time?

It may be a victory right now, but it will engrave a deep wound on the Demon Dragon King.

A scar that cannot be seen or erased.

He confronted the Demon head-on.

He used magic more than before, shooting mana, bursting space, and even dropping meteorites.

fight between the two.

‘… … .’

Xian looked at her with eyes that seemed possessed.

Especially the movement of the ears.

The increase in physical ability did not stop with simply making Gwima faster and stronger.

Using that power and speed, the ghost showed movement in a way it had never seen before.

Although that would not have been possible for Xian, who could not have that level of physical ability.

Even so, he couldn’t stop imprinting the ghost’s movements in his eyes.

His pupils tightened, and he didn’t miss a single step or knife stroke of the demon.

‘signal.’

There, the ghost said he would give a signal.

In other words, he will make an opening for the Demon Dragon King, so he will leave the final blow to himself.

Then his job is not to intervene there.

Forging and forging a sword for a single blow that would end the dragon king’s breath.

Tsutsutsutsu-

The aura of the night began to slowly diminish and surround him.

Eventually it turned into a black sphere and disappeared from sight.

Inside the sphere, Xian forged his aura while observing the demon and the demon dragon king.

With the power of the perpetual ice crystal, along with the aura of the night, it is sharpened and polished for a single sword.

In the meantime, the situation of the demon and the Demon Dragon King was gradually changing.

“Kuh… … !”

At first, it was clear, even for an instant, each ear that overpowered the Demon Dragon King.

However, the Demon Dragon King did not panic and calmly dealt with it, and the battle began to decline again.

A sluggish battle situation.

In this case, the urgent thing was the ears.

“… … !”

Did that impatience become poison?

A gap that had never existed before was revealed.

[Stupid guy!]

The Demon Dragon King did not miss it.

The one in the shape of a dragon flew to the demon in an instant and tried to swallow him as it was.

The ghost gritted his teeth and barely avoided it.

Avoided, but not completely avoided. His arm holding the sword was completely eaten by the Demon Dragon King.

At once the victory is on the rise.

A demon who has lost not only his sword but also his main arm.

But he laughed.

“It won’t taste very good.”

[…] … !]

In the mouth of the demon dragon king, the demon’s sword and the aura that was dwelling in his right arm began to run wild.

The demon’s sword was only about the size of a tongue compared to the dragon king’s size, but that wasn’t even the potential power of the aura.

In the first place, for this purpose, the demon was pushing all the auras that trigger only on the right arm and sword.

Kwakwagwagwang!

Eventually it exploded.

Hundreds and thousands of sword fragments and bone fragments soaked in aura turned the demon dragon king’s throat into a mop.

There are no hard scales or leather there.

The Demon Dragon King hurriedly tried to block it by overlaying mana, but the demon’s triggered aura easily tore through the thin film of mana.

[Kahiah-!]

The Demon Dragon King looked into the air and roared loudly.

No matter how hard he was, he had no patience for his throat becoming tattered.

And then, Xian, who had been hiding, jumped up.

‘It’s a signal… … .’

Observing the ghost, he could tell.

He was just deaf, and could have completely escaped if he wanted to.

However, the arm was deliberately eaten. To create this gap now.

If so, it is impossible for you to remain silent.

He felt an intense pain in his stomach, which had been pierced and forced to block with ice, but he completely ignored it.

Rather, he used the pain to tighten his body and jumped toward the Demon Dragon King.

and.

-Suddenly.

The ice crystal drew a blue crescent moon.

A slash that condensed the power of ice crystals and the aura of the night.

The Dragon King’s neck was split in half, and blood poured out like a waterfall.

[Ouch! Heck!]

It didn’t stop there.

The coldness of the ice crystal for 10,000 years remained in the Demon Dragon King’s neck and slowly penetrated him.

It was like poison.

The Demon Dragon King quickly judged the situation.

Blood continues to flow from his neck. The wound is too deep. It would take a lot of magic to regenerate it.

Mana was also entering in real time to block the cold air of the perpetual ice crystal from penetrating there.

Although Psyche is said to be weaker than him, she is also the great evil.

The power she had built up over hundreds of years was not something she could simply push away.

If you are in perfect physical condition, you will not know again.

and even more.

Xian and Guima are still moving as well.

One has a pierced stomach and the other has lost his right arm, but his situation is better than his decapitated one.

two such guys.

The Demon Dragon King closed his eyes. There was only one way.

[I can’t help it… … .]

The life force quickly drains from his body.

No longer did he consume mana to regenerate his neck or block the ice cold.

thud-!

He collapsed and limp as if he were sitting on the ground.

“… … .”

“… … .”

Xian and Guima saw such a demon dragon king.

Is this the end? Are you dead now?

It can’t be. He’s not the kind of guy that will end so easily.

Make sure to read from noble mtl dot com

Just as expected.

Something whitish was oozing out of his body.

“This… … .”

“her.”

Even the two of them couldn’t help but be surprised by that.

It is in a translucent state where the back side is transparent. It was the spirit of the Demon Dragon King.

It abandoned its hopeless body and reappeared with only its spirit.

“sh*t! Can’t we do this?”

The demon frowned and spat out a curse.

He was already experiencing the side effects of the aura trigger. He also lost his right arm and lost his favorite sword.

Xian also felt sweat dripping from his forehead.

The same is true for him as well.

It’s not as big as a ghost, but it can’t move for a long time.

however.

[Admit it. It’s my defeat.]

No more fighting spirit could be found in the spirit of the Demon Dragon King.

* * *

Of course I couldn’t believe it.

How can I believe the declaration of defeat from him?

but.

‘There is no way.’

Xian and Guima had no other choice.

A way to hit the guy who has become a spiritual body.

If they were just mediocre ghosts, their aura would have sufficed. It would have been possible to repulse only with that repulsion.

However, the opponent is the soul of the dragon, and the soul of the mighty dragon in existence, the Demon Dragon King.

You can’t kill them with Aurors alone.

‘It takes magic to do it.’

But there are no wizards among them.

In addition, it was also close to impossible to defeat the Demon Dragon King with magic in the first place.

Because any archmage would be like a child in front of the Demon Dragon King.

[Admit defeat. My strength has also been cut in half with this. I don’t want to waste any more than this.]

Still, he showed no will to fight.

Half of the dragon king’s power comes from his mighty body. Since he abandoned it and only the soul escaped, his strength was already reduced by half.

A power not enough to overwhelm Xian and Gwima.

For him who lost his body there, mana became the fuel that would sustain his existence in this world.

I couldn’t throw away such precious power in a futile battle.

“Are you saying that I should accept that!”

[So what? Can you kill me right now?]

The ghost gnashed his teeth to the fullest, but it was as the demon dragon king said.

Instead of losing half of his strength, he chose to become a spiritual body that the demon’s sword couldn’t reach.

[Little boy. I won’t give up on making you an apostle.]

“… … .”

And I talked to Xian neatly.

It wasn’t understandable considering the obsession he had shown so far, but it didn’t seem like he was lying.

[You seem to be able to absorb demonic power. I will give you my body.]

“… … Needless to say, you will take it.”

[Even if that is the case, it will be different between giving it away from me and taking it by force.]

That was right.

The reason why the ice crystal containing Psyche’s power is overwhelmingly stronger than other swords is not simply because Psyche’s power is overwhelming.

Because she gave it up voluntarily, there was no loss in absorbing the power.

[Instead, ask for one thing.]

“ask?”

[In the future, before you die, will you bring me your sword?]

An empty spirit sword.

Originally a C-class artifact that only contains the power of a spirit, it is expected to gain the power of Psyche and furthermore the power of the Demon Dragon King.

It is no longer a C-class sword.

“Why is my sword?”

[I want to read the years contained in your sword.]

The Demon Dragon King, who knew most of the hell world, was interested in the present world, which he himself did not know.

Originally, I wanted to see and observe with my own wings and feet, but… … .

[Now that this has happened, I will be satisfied with reading through your sword.]

It’s not just a sword. A sword imbued with the power of the two great demons, the Winter Serpent and the Demon Dragon King.

And the user, Xian, was also interested in the Demon Dragon King.

‘Ira who was chosen by Nemesis.’

The child’s life would be enough to pay for lying quietly for the time being.

“If you’re going to listen to one more thing, I’ll consider it.”

[what?]

“Open the door to the present world. Psyche and I will go in.”

[It’s easy.]

When the Demon Dragon King cut his hand, there was a shimmering light in the air.

Magic that seems simple to make, but is by no means simple.

Before entering there, Xian started feeding Ravi the body of the Demon Dragon King.

To be precise, the remaining power left in the body.

[On the present side, the war is slowly coming to an end.]

“A war? What about the giants?”

In the meantime, the Demon Dragon King told me a few things.

[Most of the reanimated giants died at the hands of half-elves and beastmen. There is a limit to the number of heads, and they are not invincible.]

“I heard that they were a race that tried to rule the world in the past… … .”

[At that time, a lot of us were attached to the giants, and above all, the skills of the humans on the continent improved a lot. Since magic and swordsmanship have improved greatly since then, the giants may not be as much of a threat anymore.]

I see.

That was an understandable reason.

[I heard that the Princess Haeryung stepped away from the empire and hid in the domain of beastmen. Because of that, the empire no longer had the capacity to continue the war.]

“The lord of Haeryung Palace? Where is he?”

[I do not know. He’s always liked sneaking up behind him. The gloomy guy.]

Xian frowned at the Dragon King’s words.

It was said that the war was over, but the Dark Magic Tower was still in existence.

In the end, it was a bunch of people who completely kicked out the black magician unless they punished the lord of the palace.

The first to summon the demons to the continent was the King of the Seas.

[It’s over.]

Eventually, Ravi absorbed all the remaining power in the dragon king’s body.

Perhaps because the spirit of the dragon king is still alive, no new sword spirits were created, but the power contained in the sword almost doubled.

It’s power before you digest it yet, so you’ll need to digest it when you go back.

[I’ll be at the west end, so if you feel like keeping your promise, come visit me anytime.]

The demon dragon king’s spirit flew up.

Then he left. West. towards the setting sun.

As he left, the clouds began to clear.
