126 Nihilos and Nihilos (1/2)

The barrage was just like a black storm.

The vampire's physical strength surpassed the physical ability of the demise knight, which was strengthened by the blessing. It is the most difficult for the demise knight to deal with the inexhaustible swinging of the spear with a long reach that comes out of his mighty body.

A sword can take him out, but a spear is not so easy. There was no skill in that swing, but that made it hard to take.

His body language was like that of a beast, but it was backed up by his experience.

Even if you're a sorcerer, even if you haven't learned the technique, your mighty physical ability surpasses everything.

Still, he exploded a blessing at his feet and stepped back. If close combat was too much for him, he could simply attack from a distance.

Immediately, Lefley and Nevira gathered around Senri and received the spear. As he focused his strength on his sword, the Lord of the Shadow laughed.

I know your tricks, .......

The light of blessing pools for a moment and then fires.

At the moment when the light of purification, which is not as flashy as annihilation but certainly damages the undead, hits the King of the Void, a wall appears in front of him.

It hits the wall of earth and the light dissipates easily.

Unless it is converted into destructive energy like annihilation, the blessed light does not have the ability to destroy.

Lufrey, who had fortified his left and right flanks, released the cleansing light as a check, and Nevira attacked with her mace. In response to the simultaneous attacks, the Lord of the Void took a step backward.

A crystal sprouts from the ground. The black polished crystal reflects the light and catches Nevilla's mace.

--Strong. She's used to fighting.

The power of the Blessing can annihilate the undead and prevent the miasma with a mere touch, but it can't erase or prevent physical objects.

But it can't erase or protect something real.

Then, the King of the Shadow suddenly looked down at his palm. The crystal shattered.

”Mmm. ...... I didn't expect the blood demon's body to be this weak. The power of death is not enough.

These words are hard to believe.

I'm not sure what to do.

The king of the dead doesn't even have his own men with him. It's definitely not a perfect situation.

And so, the King of the Shadow put his spear to the ground and smiled quietly.

But what a sense of urgency--I hadn't felt that in a long time! I've long since forgotten this blood-curdling hatred of the living.

What was in his voice was joy. An inexplicable joy. A reminder that the Demon Lord is back, no matter what.

This vampire is genuine. Not like the End. I'm not sure if I'm under the influence of my previous incarnation, but I don't feel anything.

Senri bit his lip.

A vampire with human form and no sign of death. If we let him go, he'll cause a lot of damage. Definitely an enemy of all life.

The magic of the powerful undead is incomparable to that of the living.

The vampire in front of you is out of gas. Perhaps he was interrupted in the ritual by End, so he's not quite ready.

Maybe he's not even a vampire. A vampire would have to have powerful special abilities.

”Well, good. I will suck all of your blood to moisten this unbearable dryness.

The King of the Void laughs.

As he struck the ground with his spear, a huge stake sprouted from the ground and attacked him.

§.

The onslaught was just like a storm. It was undoubtedly one of the best undead I've ever fought, and it had a very bad matchup.

Blessing is a versatile energy, but it has its strengths and weaknesses.

Blessing is good at cleansing and restoring. What it is not good at is destruction and defense against mass attacks.

Like a tsunami, the ground will rise up and a huge amount of debris will come down like a raging tide.

It easily crushed the light shield defense that Lefley had deployed over a wide area, and kept out Nevira and Senri who tried to step in.

”............ d*mn it!

It's not a matter of skill. It was the overwhelming destruction allowed by the strong.

The King of the False Shadow attacked, hiding behind the towering rubble like a living thing. You parry the blow with your sword. You retreat and avoid the debris flying from above.

No matter how blessed and strengthened his body is, there is nothing he can do if he is attacked by a massive force.

”Weak, weak! I'm not sure what to say.

If you don't have the enhanced perception from the blessing, you won't be able to deal with a series of thrusts and surprise attacks.

I'm not sure what to make of this. The King of False Shadows laughs excitedly.

Ha-ha-ha-ha! If you don't concentrate, you won't be able to make the big move!

His eyes were filled with the joy of battle. His attacks were rough, but not easy to deal with.

The whole earth is on the side of the vampire in front of me.

The attack range is too wide. The king was not at his best, but there was no way he could win an endurance battle against the undead.

The three of us were not enough to defeat this powerful king in front of us.

We're running out of time. If we retreat, he'll come after us.

Determined, he stepped forward. The thrust left even the sound behind. The debris attacked me with a series of thunderous blows.

I sharpened my concentration and avoided the thrust with the minimum of movement.

What he could not evade, he flicked with his sword. The debris pierced Senri's body, but he did not back away.

The Demise Knight is also an expert in recovery. What you need is determination. As long as you're prepared, you can move forward.

Her bloodshot eyes widened for the first time.

”Oh, oh, oh!

I did my best to flick the spear with my sword.

The blow was too much for a human to take, and a strong numbness flashed through his bones. But Senri smiled.

The Senri of the past would have been unable to parry the blow. The only reason she could manage it now was because of the mock battles she had been having with End.

”Huh, you're laughing here! Knight of the End!

And then Senri took a step forward.

The advantage of the spear was its reach. But it's also a weakness.

The sword has the advantage over the spear when it comes to getting into the pocket.

The King of the Shadow was right under my nose.

Pour the power of blessing into the sword. The sword takes on a strong glow, and its bloody eyes narrow.

He raises his sword and steps forward.

At the same time, a wall appeared on either side of the Shadow King.

”!

”Ha-ha-ha-ha! Did you think I didn't notice?

A bottle of holy water that Nevilla threw from a blind spot hit the wall of earth and broke.

Holy water is a vampire's weak point. But it's useless if it doesn't hit.

It was a perfect surprise. But it was noticed. The King of Shadow catches Senri's sword with the hilt of his spear.

A hard touch comes back to him. But more shocking than that was the fact that the surprise attack was averted.

The Shadow King shouts.

Bluffing will not work! Your sword lacks the will to kill!

No!

I failed. Blood spatters as debris hits his cheek. The sharp pain is masked by the will to fight.

I was lax. I didn't cut corners. But there was certainly no life in the blow.

Because of his friends-- the demise knight is trained to win.

They saw through my slack. Perhaps it was because we hadn't worked together in so long.

Regret flashed through my mind for a moment, but there was no time to dwell on it. Spears and swords clashed, sparks flying wildly.

But the blade just barely misses the king's skin.

”Ha-ha-ha-ha! That's a good sound! When was the last time you saw a fight like this?

The King of the False Shadow is no doubt exhausted. But that crazy laughter won't stop.

Blood is spattering. But his head remains calm.

”Pull back, Senri!

I can hear Lefley's voice in the distance.

But Senri was ready to die. Concentrate. Putting survival out of her mind, she thought only of defeat.

He flicked the blade and debris with only his instincts. The expression on the King of the False Shadow's face changes.

It's not as bad as it looks. The difference between us is minimal. But the longer you wait, the more the gap will widen.

We must move on. This is the dividing line.

Light purges darkness. One blow and we have a chance to win. Senri roared for the first time.

”Aaaaahhh!

”?

Stepping in unabated.

In response, the King of the Shadow took action--retreat.

The very speed of flight. In a single step, he fell back a dozen meters, and the Shadow King opened his eyes.

”You idiot,......, I've been pressured!

”............

It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

I'm not sure what to do. He's still conscious.

And then-- Senri flew.

The art of blessed movement. ”Wings of Light.

Supported by Lufrey and Nevira, he was tens of meters in the air in an instant.

Flying with a blessing is an advanced skill. Humans are not made to fly.

It takes time to build up and cannot be used in high-speed combat, but the ability to control the air is tremendous.

I can see the King of the Void, who looks like a grain of beans, far below. The power of the King of Earth cannot be displayed in the sky.

Senri, do it.
