Chapter 482: You Should Be Punished (3)
I couldn’t even confirm that I had already signed up. The energy that instantaneously exploded from my body was a kind of magic that I had never seen before.
There was no need to explain how much the magic amount was because the power was so pressurized that the unidentified tentacles surrounding my body became filled with power.
Limur was the leader of the 27th Legion and was ranked in the top 1,000 in the rank of demons, and yet, I was also forced to think that she was tense too.
As I turned my head and checked her expression, I could see her smiling widely.
‘Can you stop this?’
I didn’t know why she was laughing, but she seemed to be enjoying the current situation. Of course, her emotion was the exact opposite of what the other side was feeling.
It wasn’t intentional, but it was natural that I felt anxious about the monstrous confrontation that was about to start.
The moment I saw hundreds of spheres of light embroidering the sky, I swallowed hard.
It was an assembly of magic power that moved as if each of them had a will.
‘F-Fuck… Are you trying to kill me too?’
When I was looking at the atmosphere, I couldn’t help but wonder if she was on her mind. The continuous muttering with her messy hair reminded me of the former Juliana.
She now looked like the type of human being who could not think properly.
“Dieeeeeeeeeeeeee!”
Her emerging magic powers spread in all directions instantaneously.
Craaaaashhh!
Cruuuuuuusssssshhhh!
Baaaaannnngggg!!!
Part of them flew to the demons surrounding Limur, and part of them to her.
Suddenly, I felt the tentacles that were holding my body became loose.
Perhaps she thought it was burdensome to fight with dozens of strands on me.
Hayan’s current magic must have been threatening to her as well. As soon as she pulled her tentacles out of my body, huge tentacles stood in front of me, stacking layers and blocking the magic.
-This is pretty fun.
She said that, but I could see her biting her lips.
In fact, her tentacles were constantly losing their power against the mass of magic power. I didn’t know what to say, but the magic continued to swallow her tentacles. It’s like she was disassembling her strength.
‘Fuck… when elephants fight, it is the grass that suffers. Please think about me too!’
“Gruuuunnttt!”
Craaaaaasssshhh!
“Groooooaarrr!”
Baaaaanaaannnnnggg!
In fact, I could hear the sound of the demons melting down along with explosions here and there.
‘What is this…?’
“Die!!! Die!!! Diiiiiieeeee!”
Thorns of magic power that protruded from some spheres pierced the heads of dozens of demons.
Even if that wasn’t enough, they even exploded as well. It wasn’t possible to confirm the exact nature of magic, but I hypothesized that it was the type that exploded by moving magic power from within.
It seemed as if I was witnessing a miracle. In fact, I felt that there wasn’t much difference between the figure she was showing and the figure of Benignore, who had come to my body.
The way the large army was wiped out made me feel incomprehensible catharsis.
‘What… is this… fuck…‘
“Gruuuuunnnntt!!!”
Crraaaaaacckkk! Baaaannnngggg!
‘Is this real…?’
In fact, I had a lot of thoughts while I dragged Jung Hayan all the way there. Because of our long time together, I subconsciously thought I had to drag her with me.
‘Fuuuck…’
However, at that level, there was no need to worry. The value she had was much greater than her losing that fight. It was one of the most necessary puzzle pieces for the upcoming war.
The way she surpassed the magic limits that humans showed was enough to make me think of her as nothing less than simply amazing.
The vast majority of demons that were filling the space had all gotten annihilated.
Although they were simple sidekicks, each of those demons couldn’t be regarded as weak individuals. To classify by the continent’s standard, they were at least ranked within the heroic-grade. Such demons became rags in one magic blow.
At that moment, I understood why Kim Hyunsung kept Jung Hayan like that.
“Sigh… Sigh… Sigh…”
‘Wasn’t this her maximum growth?’
“I will kill you. Tear to shreds… I-I will kill you.”
-I had some friends I loved within those you killed. That’s a little sad.
“S-Shut up!! Shut up!!!”
With no time to breathe, great magic was conjured once again.
‘Really… What is this…?’
Even in the midst of that, the monstrous confrontation became serious enough that there was no room for me to close my jaw.
After blocking the first attack, I thought it was Limur’s turn, but Jung Hayan refused to let her turn finish. I witnessed her arrows, made of her magic power, poured out, all pointing at her.
In the meantime, she was trying to distinguish who was an enemy and who was an ally.
“Craaaaaackkkk!!!”
Chains started to break through the grounds. There was also a flame that seemed to burn all that it touched.
The wind became so clearly substantiated and refined enough to be visible for our eyes.
Anemone’s dark red sphere I saw in Laios that consumed space was also present. Other than that, there was also ridiculous magic that I had never seen or heard. Explosions reverberated all over the place.
It didn’t look right, but it even seemed as if the terrain was constantly changing.
Dozens of tentacles poured out towards her, but Jung Hayan stood her ground as she grabbed her tentacles with her magical power. Limur tried to approach her with the same speed as before, but the frenzied wizard didn’t allow it.
Through her magic power, she placed traps everywhere that could change direction or counteract movement itself.
A fight between those who tried to narrow the distance and those who wanted to get separated apart transpired. I didn’t think this was going to end easily.
She never lost her constant smile, but her face was becoming more distorted.
She must’ve felt that the battle wasn’t going the way she thought it would go.
It seemed that she couldn’t move properly because she had to protect me, but I knew that it would have been a difficult fight even without that handicap.
Besides…
‘It’s the same with Hayan, she is also holding a penalty.’
-Is your power just this much?
“Craaaaassshhh!!! Die!!! Please die!!!”
-You can’t save him… He will be stolen today… I’m sorry about this, so what should I do…
“Shut up! Shut up!! Shut up!!!”
-I have the confidence to make him feel like he cannot live without me… Even with only a week, he would no longer look at a human girl like you. You will lose. You’ll get stuck on the floor and get squeezed.
“Hic… s-shut up…”
-After, it would be better to erase his memories. I think it would be nice to make his whole day so bad that he can’t even think of anything else but slowly become disgusted of humans. Yes, I better do that. Haha…
“Shut… Shut up… Shut up… Shut up!!! Waaaaahhh… die!! Dieeeeee!!!
The battle could almost be labeled as a tie. However, as time passed, the situation changed more and more.
‘The vibe that’s coming out right now is definitely different.’
The experience wasn’t really important. Jung Hayan seemed to fall for Limur’s light provocation, causing her to increase her magic output.
The Demon Lord was also aware of the fact. Hence, she kept talking. My expression showed feelings of irritation and anxiety as it was stained by madness.
In the first place, her physical condition was no longer normal. It was evident that Jung Hayan had already been suffering from magic exhaustion before coming to where we were, and there wasn’t much magical power left in her body.
Even though she recovered some magic power due to the great wizard’s heart, it was too much to think that she was in the same condition as before.
It wasn’t unreasonable for her limit to be reached soon, considering she was using up more magic power than necessary due to her anger towards the opponent. Still, I couldn’t be certain of her victory even if she carefully controlled her magic.
As time passed, her magic reserves became an empty river, allowing Limur to have a little more space. Above all else, her situation could be identified without having to examine it.
“Hic… waaaahhhh… get out!! I said, get out!! Get out!!!”
Even though she continued to chant spells, magic no longer appeared.
-What should I do? I’m sad your magic has been completely depleted.
“Waaaahh!! Waaaahh!”
She pulled out her dagger and rushed in as if she couldn’t give up there, but she fell to the floor with a bang.
As she lifted Jung Hayan’s hair and smacked her hard on the cheek, she once again trembled on the floor.
‘You’ll kill her. Fuck. Stop.’
When she noticed Hayan’s expression, Limur nodded her head as if she knew that she was too harsh.
With just two blows, Jung Hayan completely collapsed. She was placed in a situation where she couldn’t spread her shield despite its low magic requirement.
Hayan’s body was too fragile to resist Limur.
“Sniff… cough… could… Oppa… Oppa…”
‘Ahhh… My heart hurts…’
“Oppa… Hic…Blllaaaarh… O-O-oppa…”
My body no longer moved properly. As soon as I entered the method acting again, bound by tentacles, thick tears continued to fall from her eyes.
I stood up and ran, but I couldn’t take a few steps. Instead, I collapsed.
“Oppa… Don’t go… do not go… Hic… waaahhhh…”
‘Do not do that… you’re hurting the both of us…’
“Don’t take him… d-don’t… take him away… cough… cough… don’t take him.”
-I want to, though.
“Hic… waaaahhh… hic!”
“Hayan.”
“Oppa… oppaaa…”
I stood up once again, and I slowly moved, but again that time, I fell without taking a few steps.
Blood kept popping out of my mouth, and my whole body had already become rags.
Although it was heartbreaking, that drama had to be properly finished.
If the only purpose were to cure her habit, I would have ended moderately, but I was picturing something bigger.
“I… I will go with you. Please let her go.”
‘Nice line.’
“Waaahhhh… don’t do that… Don’t… Hic…”
-If she keeps looking like that, I would want to harass her a little more… But anyway, I was thinking of keeping that girl alive, and it’s welcoming if the price is you.
“Thank… you.”
“Oppa… Hic… Oppaaaa!! Cough!!! Cough!! Waaahh… oppa…”
My body slowly rose to the sky regardless of my will. The startled Jung Hayan tried to run again, but she was caught on a stone and fell.
I could see her crying with a runny nose, reaching out, as well as trying to hold onto me, even crawling.
“I’m sorry. Hic… I was wrong… I’m sorry… Hic. Hic!”
“…”
“Waaahhh… I’m sorry. I’m… sorry.”
“…”
“Please… please… please… Hic… Hic. Give me one more chance. God. Please… please… only once…”
“…”
“Hic… Hic… Oppa…”
“…”
“…”
“You have to be safe.”
I gave a bitter smile for a beautiful ending. My heart was a bit broken by the scene of Hayan continually shouting out for me.
‘This is what one would call a real drama.’
I couldn’t help but appreciate the results.
