The Hero Disciple Is Back - Chapter 101



100. The Final Stage

【I never thought you could use the power of the spirits like this! You’re really special! Jade!!!!】

It was hard to believe that the current overlord was as excited and hot as lava as he was the cold and cold knight of darkness. It was as if a long-dormant volcano had awakened, as if a stratovolcano had erupted with more intensity the longer it had been dormant.

‘Failed to target the Demon’s core.’

It was clear that the sword imbued with the power of the White Dragon had certainly pierced through, causing significant damage, but that was all. The opponent was a demon. If they were to finish it off for sure, they would have to destroy the core.

The conditions were so different that it made me think it was cowardly.

But that’s to be expected.

Because this world has always been absurd.

The stronger you are, the more special things you are given, and the weaker you are, the more even what you had slips through your fingers. The world has always been absurd, and that absurdity shows up even in these moments, trying to bring despair to you… There is no reason for me to fit in there.

I had already been through enough to fit in with that kind of thing. I was a veteran, worn down enough to fit in with it now.

Now, I am too far removed from my youth to shed tears over my own shortcomings or feel despair because the gap between me and my opponent is too big. So, as a veteran, I just grit my teeth and focus on my own work like a beta. Isn’t it true that only when you do your best in the role given to you can you be considered a veteran?

Kwaaang!!!!

“Ugh!”

I was pushed out of power.

No, the Overlord is stronger than he was just a few seconds ago.

‘Have you been doing okay so far? No, are you getting stronger?’

More precisely, the output has increased. No matter how much power you have, the amount of output you can produce at one time is limited. This is because everyone has such a limiter instinctively. However, when you reach that state of transcendence, you can control that limiter.

Now, the Overlord had raised the limit line, thereby increasing the output that could be produced at once. As a result, I felt that I had become stronger.

So what is the solution?

It’s simple.

This side also has no choice but to increase the output itself.

“salt”

“It’ll hurt… right?”

“It’s okay. Please.”

“If you please… .”

“Coolook!”

The power of the spirits immediately began to change my body. It was a natural result. I had not yet reached the state of transcendence. Unfortunately, there were many problems in reality that could not be solved with effort alone. That is why I chose the power of the spirits. I was forcibly changing my body itself with the power of the spirits. Because of that, I was also able to increase the output that I could produce at once.

Of course, there was a price.

Kwaaang!!!!!!

“Ugh!”

This time, I wasn’t pushed back. Even as my surroundings were being destroyed, my body held on and endured without being pushed back. However, that doesn’t mean there was no damage at all.

“Phew! Gulp! Gulp!”

… my insides were already a mess. I was in a truly tattered state.

【…Is that your determination?】

It seemed that the Overlord had already reached the truth. Perhaps he knew a lot because he had existed for so long. Or perhaps it was simply because my appearance was so miserable that he was able to figure it out easily… .

【…Do you know that you are definitely dying?】

“… Then wouldn’t you know?”

The body is a vessel.

You’re trying to force something that doesn’t fit into the bowl… If it were just ordinary water, then that wouldn’t be an issue, but if it were something like hot lava, then there’s no way an ordinary bowl could handle it.

‘Leah gave me the power of the white dragon so that I wouldn’t be completely broken.’

-Please live

That’s the pact that Leah and I made

I just hope I survive

The earnestness of a daughter who knew she could not break my stubbornness and had no choice but to go along with me

That was the Dragon’s Oath I shared with my daughter.

And because of that strength, my vessel has been able to endure and not break until now.

However, if the force to break and the force to endure are applied in both directions, the vessel will eventually not be able to endure and will be shattered.

-Please stay by our side!

… but somehow we have to survive.

This strength that keeps me from breaking down is because it contains the earnest desire of my precious daughter.

Therefore, I am not allowed to be broken. No matter what happens, I must survive. It is not a question of whether I can or cannot do it. I must somehow do it.

“I have no intention of dying for you, nor do I intend to crumble under this power. I will overcome you and survive.”

Wooow!

At that moment, the power of the white dragon contained in my sword exploded and struck the tyrant.

“… that’s all.”

Kwaaang!!!!

♧♧♧

The reason why not many people were assigned to fight the Demon King

The reason is simple.

【It’s true that they don’t fight to defend themselves because their numbers are small.】

The Demon King’s voice was suddenly heard from behind him.

But Sarah wasn’t flustered.

It was impossible for her, who was in the most transcendent realm among superhumans, to give up her position so easily.

It wasn’t unusual for people to feel embarrassed or panicked.

As expected of a warrior of infinite regression, she was not surprised at all and responded calmly.

Chae-Ang!

“It still annoys me.”

【Darkness is everywhere. No matter how great a superhuman you are, you can’t sense shadows.】

Why no matter how many great colleagues you gather, you will end up being held back

It was because of the power of the Demon King that he could move freely through darkness or shadows. It wasn’t some kind of technique using magic. If it was something like that, there would be a way to deal with it by detecting the magic, but the power of the Demon King wasn’t like that.

It is a power that literally forces you into reality the moment you use it, and by the time you realize and sense it, you are already one step too late. And when dealing with the Demon King, being one step too late is no different from giving up your neck.

In the end, even though they gathered the strongest members because they had that power, they could not avoid annihilation in the end.

In a split second, the power of undetectable movement that can move like a truly blurry shadow. There was no skill that put the majority at such a disadvantage in a one-on-many fight.

‘It disappeared.’

Teleportation? That’s cute. At least something like that requires the act of ‘movement’. The Demon King’s was not that cute at all. His movement was not allowed for even 0.1 seconds, let alone several seconds. It wasn’t even a space jump or space cut.

It was an incredible power that could be called a ‘miracle’. It was literally an authority that ignored and surpassed the laws of the world.

But even if it were a miracle

An experience that is almost infinite

If you add the superhuman sixth sense

Chae-ae-aeng!

Can be stopped.

【Now you can accurately predict my movements!】

“Because it’s a persistent bad relationship.”

Detection is an impossible force.

But as an intelligent being, it is bound to have habits and patterns.

And it couldn’t be any different even for the Demon King.

Battle with the Demon King during Infinite Regression

That’s how data accumulates

In addition to that, he also has a completely superhuman sixth sense.

With the overwhelming amount of data and backups to support her decision-making, it was only natural that Sera was able to catch up with the Demon King’s power.

That was the moment.

“Attack.”

Leah’s dragon magic was activated.

Kookooow!

The earth slammed into the ground as if it were going to kill the Demon King.

From noble mtl dot com

【joy!】

Of course, the Demon King easily evaded it by using his power.

But the Demon King didn’t stop at simply avoiding it.

He immediately appeared in front of Leah and tried to swing his sword at her.

【It’s an interruption…!】

Phew!

【… … !】

The Demon King looked at his chest. The holy sword was stuck there. It was definitely the holy sword that the warrior was holding.

The demon king’s body disappeared in an instant.

Clang!

The holy sword, having lost the target it had been attached to, rolled on the ground in vain.

【Kuuu! Hahahaha! Really! As expected! It was a trap! I guess I got fooled!】

Although he said he was treated well, the scars that had clearly existed had already disappeared.

【As always, you always show me a new side of yourself, warrior.】

Sera ignored the Demon King’s admiration with one ear and the other, and took back the Holy Sword.

【Now! This is the final stage! Show me everything you can without holding back! Let me enjoy it even more!】
