Chapter 38
Can the devil be killed in ten seconds?
——Obviously not.
Above the sky, that blood-red eye stared coldly at Su Xingyuan. In just a blink of an eye, the surrounding space seemed to be separated by black demonic energy, making people feel as if they were completely under the gaze of that eye, with no possibility of escape.
[Countdown: Nine]
Su Xingyuan lowered his right hand and took back the knife.
He confirmed one thing.
That is, due to certain rules or restrictions, if the [Devil] wants to directly attack or descend into this world, he must pay a certain price.
So, as it appeared, it simply opened its eyes and peered coldly at him.
Yes, just cold.
After all, although Su Xingyuan destroyed the Demon King's plan, his existence was too insignificant to the Demon King.
He was so insignificant that if it weren't for this incident, the devil wouldn't even notice his existence, let alone cast his eyes on him.
To the devil, he was like an ant that could be easily crushed to death.
Su Xingyuan knew this very well, but precisely because the final BOSS was so powerful and insurmountable, the sense of danger like a needle prick spread throughout his body as if he were in reality, as if he would die suddenly at any time, and he felt an irrepressible tremor and excitement!
Since I can't kill it, I'll just bite off its flesh and cut its skin.
Let it bleed.
【Title Change】
[Title worn: Scavenger]
[All enemy hatred has been concentrated]
Above the sky, the eyeball seemed to move slightly.
Then, as if feeling an uncontrollable irritation, the dark sky began to churn violently like boiling water, as if it was about to pour down onto the ground in the next moment!
It was at this time that people discovered that the sky was not polluted by it, but rather blocked the most terrifying existence outside the sky to an unknown level.
The demon king looked down, and as if sensing its attention, the black-haired boy faced it, raised his head, and revealed a very bright smile.
Even if an angel came, he would sigh and say, "This is a smile that deserves to go to heaven."
Demon King: “…………”
The hatred value, which was already high, suddenly became even worse.
It doesn't even believe that humans didn't do it on purpose.
It looked at the human on the ground - even if he spent one night killing all the servants it assimilated in this world, he would still be just an ordinary human. He would not be resurrected after death, and he would not have any protection from any divine power.
No matter how much this human seemed to deserve a beating or death, it was completely unnecessary to go through the trouble of crossing the barrier set up by the guardian goddess to kill him.
The devil was no fool, he knew very well that instead of acting on impulse and going against this human, it would be better to let him go for the time being and let his followers keep an eye on him and kill or transform him at any time.
Or perhaps, before its subordinates could take action, the human lifespan would have come to an end.
As for asking it to fight this human personally...is this human worthy of it?
Forcibly suppressing the murderous intent and anger that were surging for some unknown reason, the Demon King sorted out his boiling demonic energy and wanted to temporarily withdraw from this world. However, during his long gaze, he inadvertently saw the blessing that had been bestowed on that human.
——【Angel’s Blessing】.
Demon King: “…”
It remembered what it had just said: "This human has no divine power to protect him."
The devil suddenly laughed out of anger.
well……
——So they are the running dogs of those angels!
The Demon King no longer considered withdrawing from this world. He was the product of countless grievances and wails. Once his anger overwhelmed his few remaining rationalities and he decided to kill the human in front of him, he would not hold back at all!
[Countdown: Seven]
The sky, which had gradually stopped boiling, suddenly began to churn again.
Even the ground beneath people's feet began to crack into a dark abyss under the influence of the rapidly surging magic power!
In an instant, the sky seemed to have a hole opened, and sticky limbs rolled out from the huge gap, like a dark mass of mud falling down, giving people the illusion of slowness and delay, as if it was still very far away from them, but the speed was extremely fast -
It is so fast that even the distance from heaven to earth can be reached in an instant, leaving no time for people to react!
[Countdown: Six]
Limbs poured down like waterfalls.
No one thought that the black-haired boy could survive such a large-scale attack.
He himself doesn't think so.
[Countdown: Five]
"boom!!"
It was not until a huge gap was opened in the ground, causing a sound that almost shattered people's eardrums, that the sound spread from the inside to the outside, and even formed circle after circle of shock waves, which hit the outer wall of the royal city at the speed of thunder, and directly blasted cracks in the wall that was partially protected by divine power!
"Quick!! Retreat to the city, the wall is about to collapse!!!"
The battle-hardened knight commander, who was the first to react, roared at the top of his lungs, then took the lead and rushed towards the city wall at the fastest speed of his life!
[Countdown: Four]
The walls of the royal city collapsed.
Even the aftermath could cause such a huge impact. Su Xingyuan, who was directly hit by the attack, felt a force that even terror was not enough to describe, and it almost destroyed all human sanity!
Even though they knew it was just a game, no one could remain calm when they saw the dark mass of twisted and tangled limbs gathering into a huge wave with nowhere to escape and pouring down towards them.
It was fear and despair under overwhelming, absolute power advantage.
Almost instantly—
【warn! 】
【［Dragon Tendon Headband］The damage taken has reached the upper limit! 】
The headband fell off and the long hair spread out.
Just like how Su Xingyuan had emptied a monster's health bar with just one strike, at this moment, his physical strength could not last even for a second.
The blood bar, which was originally in a healthy color, changed at a speed that was impossible to detect with the naked eye and was instantly reduced to zero!
[Countdown: Three]
——The human’s presence disappeared.
Those limbs that had forced their way through the protective shield were quickly retracted after confirming this, revealing a boy who had been knocked down into a deep pit underground and no longer looked like a human being, exposing his miserable condition to the eyes of the angry demon king.
Perhaps because he had received the angel's blessing, his flesh and blood were not corroded or assimilated. However, even so, his entire body was crushed into a thin layer of bloody skin, and even his bones turned into powder, almost merging with the ground.
It is so dead that even an angel cannot bring it back.
The Demon King was instantly in a good mood, and even the failure of snatching the world of the guardian goddess could not ruin his good mood.
It almost wanted to thank this human for providing it with such great emotional value.
You know, it's not easy to make the devil happy.
But just when it wanted to leave with satisfaction, it sensed that the limbs it had just poured out seemed to be a little strange.
Even the entities that housed them again began to feel uncomfortable.
[Countdown: 2]
The Demon King, who finally shifted his attention away from the black-haired boy and the protective barrier, felt an extremely uncomfortable burning sensation.
It opened its other eye and looked directly into its own body—
At some point, a mass of dark liquid appeared in its body and kept spreading.
When the liquid touched its limbs, it strangely did not encounter any obstruction, as if the flesh and blood were its breeding ground, spreading like a plague!
"……?"
It was so unexpected that it didn't even realize what was happening for a moment.
Then, the demon king's sanity, which had been eroded by anger, began to recover.
It couldn't count how many years it had been since it was injured.
After seeing the thing that hurt it, the first thing that came to its mind was the strange smile on the black-haired boy's face when he provoked it.
The black-haired boy was obviously well aware that he was going to die, and the biological instinctive fear reaction produced in his body could not be faked.
So, since he knew he would die, why did he force it to take action?
The demon king understood the human's intention almost instantly.
——Even if it meant his own death, he was madly trying to hurt the demon king who was high above the sky. Even if he could only scratch its skin, he wanted to bite it hard and draw a mouthful of blood!
For the first time, the Demon King felt the ultimate humiliation and anger.
——Too arrogant.
The dark liquid in the flesh and blood was not scary at all, but it made it feel the pain of being hurt by humans. It seemed to have turned into the smile on the black-haired boy's face a few seconds ago, which was so happy that it made people feel uncomfortable.
——Too arrogant! !
What on earth did this human think of it? ! Do you consider injuring it as your own achievement? !
Who does he think he is? !
The devil had never imagined that, in the past, he had been looking down upon all living beings from a high position, but one day, he felt this hateful arrogance from a human being, whom he had no intention of taking action against himself.
Its demonic energy was boiling with rage, and it annihilated those parts that were about to be assimilated by the pitch-black liquid without hesitation, easily eliminating this threat.
But because it was so easy, its anger became even more difficult to extinguish.
However, the human who hurt it with this simple trick was dead.
His flesh and blood grew with divine blessing, and could not be controlled or assimilated by it. He died so easily, and it couldn't even torture him to vent its hatred.
[Countdown: One]
...Forget it, the devil thought, it is extremely ridiculous for tiny humans to use their only life to exchange for a minor injury that does not hurt it.
Now that things have gotten so chaotic, the guardian goddess must have been alarmed. The demon king didn't want to confront her directly for the time being, so he decided to withdraw his attack and leave.
But he saw that the human being who had been crushed by him suddenly regained the breath of life!
Above the sky, the blood-red eye that was about to close suddenly opened wide and stared at the corpse!
——The human corpse that had been shattered to pieces and could not be put together again, in just a moment, returned to the state it was in when it provoked it a few seconds ago. The pair of emerald eyes suddenly opened as if they had just fallen asleep, and met the Demon King's gaze directly as if it had expected it!
Then, a deep smile of "As expected" spread in those eyes.
"Aren't you a powerful demon king?"
He grinned and said with a smile: "Why...are you bleeding?"
…
The devil's nerve called reason broke instantly.
The spear condensed by magic power took shape in the air in an instant and shot towards the black-haired boy with a devastating force!
However, at the moment when the spear was about to fall——
[Countdown: Zero]
[The player has logged out of the mission]
"Kong!!"
Wherever the spear pointed, there was only empty land.
