Episode 140
Bloody Valentine (4)
The sea water evaporates, leaving long furrows in the ground.
The moment their wills collided, the strong winds generated by the impact shattered the glass of buildings near the port.
A Satanist who has gained the power of the six stars by accepting the protection of the evil constellations.
The believers who had escaped the shackles of mortality and reached the realm of the devil, known as the Mine, unleashed incredible black magic.
[Kennek Combat Techniques]
[Chapter 7 – 10-shot slap]
The pouring dark speculation quickly strips away the crimson currents.
Chaechaechaeng, the blade reinforced with a sword, clashes with the fist without stopping.
【That’s fun. Try more.】
“Damn it! Are you even a Death Knight?”
Mine moved both hands ceaselessly and his teeth chattered.
Overflowing power.
In an instant, he rose to the level of a 6-star saint, and his black magic overflowed.
In terms of simple stats, it is an incredible amount of black magic equivalent to a 7-star power.
Still.
Unable to shake off Papner’s onslaught, he was instead forced into a defensive position.
“Can’t you handle one undead?”
As the mace-wielding mine approached where Pafner was, a red flash passed by his neck.
【Your opponent is me.】
“You are an undead with only bones left, and you are going to face me!”
【I can’t do it alone.】
Song Myeong-seok’s blue naturalized flower drew a line.
The emotion of laughter is clearly expressed even though he is a skeleton who cannot make expressions.
Chuck, chuck, fifty skeleton knights lined up behind him.
【We are the Legion. Can you stop us alone?】
“You little bastard, you can’t even feed a dog a bone!!!!
Swords wrapped in dark speculation rush in.
4 star level ability.
The speed was slow, and the sword swing and attack patterns were both simple.
A power that can be easily shaken off by a hunter who has honed his abilities and reached 6 stars through proper methods.
but.
Mine was also in a hurry to use the ability he had acquired through foolish means.
My hands and feet became dizzy from the joint attack of Song Myeong-seok and the skeleton knights under his control.
Meanwhile, Manuel, feeling threatened by the death cavalry’s charge, shouted frantically.
“To an undead who is halfway to death!”
[Multiple operations]
[Gehenna’s Flames]
[Dark Veil]
[Black Spear x 3]
Attach to the barrier to prevent the abyssal flames from spreading.
He blocked the Death Knight’s charge while simultaneously firing three black spear shots.
The tip of the spear is aiming at the culprit of this situation.
It was Eugene.
〔They’re targeting you. How dangerous.〕
Sounds dangerous.
It’s a waste of energy to block it.
After putting up a few Tyrants as shields, I immediately used [Revive].
Where is the body?
-Ugh.
A lesser demon that flies in while staggering.
Now a corpse granted a second life by the power of the spirit, he rushes towards his master.
“Body explosion.”
Kwaaaaang-!
The curtain of hellfire shakes dangerously.
The corpse explosion, which became much more powerful when linked to the poison field, had a destructive power that even Manuel could not underestimate.
There, Eugene wasn’t the only enemy Manuel had to deal with.
【hmm.】
A death knight who advances silently.
Although he was accompanied by one Mine as an escort, he had only just reached 6-star thanks to the protection of the evil god, so it was difficult for him to directly fight the Death Dragon Knight, who was a near 7-star strongman.
“Eww!!”
A scream of indignation burst from Manuel’s mouth.
The magical power wave I feel from Eugene is at most a 4-star level.
why.
Why am I having to struggle like this after having accepted Belial’s protection and jumping through two levels of rank in one go?

‘Powerful spells faster… …!’
I want to freely release the massive amount of black magic flowing through my blood vessels.
Those bug-like undead.
And I had a burning desire to crush Eugene.
no.
In fact, if I were free for just a minute or so, I could sweep away the undead swarming along the shore.
[Use Corpse Explosion (改)]
“Kuaaaah.”
An explosion at close range.
Manuel released the black magic that was being rearranged in an incomplete state to offset the shock.
A situation where you try to stop something with a hoe by using a sickle.
Because of the protection bestowed by the evil constellation, black magic overflowed.
The important thing is not to give it the chance to fully unleash its immense power.
“Why? What’s not working?”
Eugene diverted dozens of Tyrants to flank the Death Knights.
The Death Knight is a 7-star undead from the front.
Even the Tyrants, who walk slowly but steadily, put pressure on both sides.
Mine, who was next to Manuel, condensed the magic energy in both hands into maximum form and caused an explosion.
The Tyrants also resisted by raising dark speculations.
[A lot of spiritual power was consumed in a short period of time.]
[Concentration is reduced.]
Oh my god.
The penalty group that came after a long time.
[Ancient Garden] This was the first time I had experienced a penalty since the raid, so I couldn’t even remember how long it had been since then.
〔If you look at the actual period, it hasn’t even been a few months.〕
‘Let’s skip the small stuff.’
The Skeleton Knights unleashed their dark magic to the max.
Some of the Tyrants also gained strength.
Eugene had to bear some of the spiritual energy consumed by the undead servants.
The default value for maintaining intermediate undead is already enormous, but increasing the output made me feel dizzy.
“Minjeong-ah.”
“Yes, yes. I’ll deliver one!”
The Lesser Demon, with its wings pierced by four crossbow bolts, fell in front of Eugene.
The result of exquisitely controlling the angle of fall.
The fallen Lesser Demon flails its arms and aims at Eugene.
“Stay still. Life Shuttle.”
Compared to Jang Mi-seon’s sharp sword strikes, this was nothing.
He easily closed the distance and grabbed the Lesser Demon’s face with his right hand.
[Unique trait – Uses White Night.]
[Spiritual power → Changed to Holy power.]
[Uses Life Drain.]
“Ugh, ugh.”
“It’ll be over soon. Keep your mouth shut, or I’ll bite your tongue.”
Whisper kindly and steal the life force of the Lesser Demon.
As soon as it was absorbed, it was replaced with spiritual power.
At that moment.
The movements of the mid-level undead that were mixing with the mines became slow.
-That’s it, that’s it.
-Ugh.
A phenomenon that did not occur when serving lower-level undead.
Not only was the amount of spiritual energy consumed for maintenance enormous, but more than half of it was being used for dark speculation.
The moment when Eugene, who was giving strength to intermediate undead, changed his ability to [White Night].
As the spiritual power that powered them disappeared, their fighting power also decreased rapidly.
“These guys. They suddenly slowed down.”
“Is this an operation?”
“Is it a part-time job? I have to take it down first.”
Quadduk, some of the undead legions that had been dulled for several seconds were swept away by black magic.
hmm.
I didn’t expect that there would be a gap the moment I replaced the stats with [White Night].
[Unique trait – Uses White Night.]
[Replace Holy Power with Spiritual Power.]
〔This kind of variable didn’t arise just because I was dealing with intermediate undead!〕
‘I’ve never had this many guys around.’
The balance of the battlefield collapsed due to a single variable.
When battles break out between high-ranking powers, victory or defeat is often determined by a split second.
It took Eugene several seconds to replace his abilities with his unique traits.
The mines launched a fierce attack, taking advantage of the slow movements of the intermediate undead.
‘The loss is about 1/5.’
I suffered some serious damage, but I’m okay.
Fortunately or unfortunately.
All of the mid-level undead that Eugene brought with him were melee type, so the number that could directly intervene in the battle was limited.
What this means is that even if you lose 1/5 of your total number of troops, you won’t immediately feel any loss in combat power.
〔But why didn’t you mobilize undead that can attack from a distance?〕
‘It’s difficult to make and it’s a shame to lose it.’
Skeleton Mage?
It’s not much help against demons with high magic resistance.
If it’s the level of dark minions that were mass-produced this time, it should be possible to control them to some extent.
However, the risks are too high compared to the benefits.
‘High risk, low return.’
Skeleton Knights and Tyrants can compensate for their lack of specs with dark specs.
Unless it’s a higher concept like [Aura Blade].
Even if you press down on it with a press, it is not easy to shake it off.
‘From now on, I need to find additional means to recover the spiritual power consumed during battle.’
One mistake is enough.
If you make the same mistake a second time, it’s no longer a mistake.
The battle almost turned around with one mistake, but Papner and Song Myeongseok stepped in and filled the gap created by the intermediate undead.
【Master! Please engrave the performance of your subordinates clearly in your eyes!】
hmm.
okay.
I still clearly remember the sight of him being kicked out without being able to resolve all his issues.
There was a crisis once, but after that, the battlefield shifted its control to Eugene once again and never moved again.
〔Oh, really. The enemies are not living up to expectations.〕
‘If you’re going to do it, how about you say that you’re thoroughly prepared?’
〔I am talking about how over-prepared you were.〕
‘If I hadn’t prepared like this, they would have run wild.’
A 6-star hunter created with instant protection.
It was like a child swinging a knife the size of my body dangerously.
I was slowly getting used to the power in the fight against the dead, but I was running out of time.
‘You stopped the offering and didn’t give me time to get used to the power.’
Based on the records seen in [Memento], the troop composition and deployment were completed.
We have prepared double and triple countermeasures to create an environment where the Mines intoxicated by the power of the evil constellations cannot run wild.
The fighting power of the Satanists is far behind that of ‘Bloody Valentine’ which took place in the original time zone.
〔Without any more variables, your victory is assured.〕
‘Don’t raise the flag.’
If this continues, people will ask, “Did you hurt me?”
Kronos’ sentiments were also felt by Manuel, who was standing on the other side.
“This, this can’t go on.”
Even though he had the mine guarding the [Coffin of the Undead] join the battle, he was unable to push back the undead army.
On the contrary, the hunters who gathered upon hearing the general mobilization order joined the battlefield one after another.
Although he did not directly step forward, he participated in keeping the mines in check, and his room for maneuver became increasingly narrow.
It feels like you’re standing on the shore as the tide comes in.
As the sea water slowly rose, wetting my body, I felt as if my ankles were caught in the mudflat and I could not escape.
“If it goes on like this……!”
Manuel’s eyes were distorted.
I hoped I would never have to use it as a last resort.
It was a dangerous situation where one’s reason, which had been half-blown away by the evil spirit’s energy that had penetrated to the marrow, had returned.
‘Cut off the consciousness and run away?’
But the retreat was not easy.
The only means of escape is a cruise ship, but how far can Satanists without navigation skills sail the ship?
There was no way Eugene would just let them go.
‘There is only one way left!’
Phew!
Manuel scratches my palm with his long fingernails.
The mine next to me opened its eyes wide.
“Father Manuel. What are you doing now?”
“Great One, I offer you more sacrifices, so please grant me the blessings I deserve.”
“Where is the sacrifice……?!”
Mine, who had been responding unconsciously, could not say anything else.
The right arm that strangles one’s own neck.
It seemed like he was self-harming like Manuel, but in reality it was a little different.
“Ugh, ugh!”
“Blood is the currency of the soul. Your soul will live forever in me.”
A ceremony performed with the [Coffin of the Immortal].
Since the organizer was Manuel, the initiative of power was also in his hands.
In preparation for any unforeseen circumstances, he also inscribed some great laws on his subordinates.
If he wanted, he could take the lives of Satanists and use them for his own power.
Choaaaah!!!
The mines that had been fighting with Eugene and his group suddenly turned into blood and poured out onto Manuel.
Blood, black magic, and strength absorbed throughout the body.
[The first lion grants greater protection.]
[The protection of the first lion that has surpassed the limit will transform your body.]
[Mine -> Devil]
Knock, knock. As his body reconstructed, he grew to 2.5 meters tall.
Two horns sprouted from the forehead.
The skin was flushed red and the pupils were slit like those of a reptile.
devil.
He was reborn as a true devil, not a lesser demon.
[The stories and qualities your soul has built up are insufficient.]
[Black magic seeps into your mind.]
[Reason… … .]
Manuel did not hear the subsequent message.
Reason was already half paralyzed.
He forcibly raised his status by offering sacrifices, but when he sought power beyond that, his body changed to fit the form, but his soul could not adapt.
escape?
“Why do I have this power!”
Manuel, who was forced to cross the wall, was no longer human, nor a man, nor a complete demon.
Marie’s clutches seek only destruction.
Manuel, his mind consumed by instinct, glared at Eugene with bloodshot eyes.
“It’s because of you that I’m in such trouble!!!”
Parts tsutsutsu!!
Manuel, who had gathered all of the power of the minions and acquired the martial arts ability system, concentrated black magic into his fingers.
Aura Blade.
A brilliant light that is only permitted to those who have overcome the wall of the Seven Stars. The essence of destruction has been revealed.
“Uh. That’s a bit.”
“Die!!!”
A spherical aura blade left his fingers and struck the air, rushing towards Eugene.
