Here Comes the King of the Underworld! C185


Episode 185 Wind of Death


The blood-red large tree could be clearly seen from Serua's location. 

Additionally, the area has completely changed due to the progress of desertification. Even Enji frowned at this situation. 





"This is terrible. I don't know who thought of resurrecting something like that."

"..."

"I'm telling you, you idiot disciple."

"...It's a shame."





Gladio originally intended to control that thing. He wanted to gain power and give it back. That brought disaster to the world. The demons of the ``King'' are truly a disaster, and are not an area into which humans can enter. 

If anyone can resist, it's only Serua. 

Right now, Serua is gathering strength. 





“Suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuer counterpart counterpart to counterpart ``





It was collecting holy light while breathing quietly. 

When it accumulates to its limit, it will purify the battlefield of the ``Kings''. No, it would be a problem if it wasn't like that. The holy light covered Selua's body, rippling with each of her breathing. 

It took time, but his power steadily grew stronger. 











◆◆◆











The black wind released by Shu cut through even the swirling air currents and approached the Scarlet King and the Immortal King. And it surrounds the two of them like a whirlpool. However, the Scarlet King manipulated blood, and the Immortal King used disintegration magic to erase the black wind. 

However, Shu did not pursue him. 

Because I know this is enough. 





“It took a while.”





It caught on so beautifully that I couldn't help but whisper. 

The Scarlet King tries to attack Shu by manipulating the blood like a whip. It was amazing how he never lost sight of Shu even though he was exposed to the storm. However, the Scarlet King collapsed from within. 





“oaetaa?”





Everything from the chest to the neck collapsed at once, and gradually the limbs and head also collapsed. 

Also, the Immortal King was no exception, and his bones seemed to be melting. Perhaps he realized that the Immortal King was under some kind of magic, and he tried to remove it with disintegration magic. However, there was no point in that, and the bones of his body simply collapsed. 





"Is this... huh, something like that?"





However, the immortal king is not stupid either. 

I immediately understood what was happening to me. 





"Did you put magical power inside me? Hmm, it's magical power. If that's the case, the story is simple."





The magic that Shu activated, Wind of Death, is a magic that creates spirits. 

It releases a tiny spirit created from death magic and invades the enemy's body like a pathogen. The micro-spirit created based on death magic consumes the magic power of the target, and eventually the spirit collapses. In the form of converting his small body into death magic power. 

As a result, the Scarlet King and the Immortal King collapsed as if melting from the inside. 

However, once you understand that it is magical power, you can deal with it. 

By filling his body with disintegration magic, the Immortal King disintegrated the ``Wind of Death'' and released it. 

The Scarlet King also escapes from the ``Wind of Death'' by another method. 





“kate…akigtrisliahirtiaidhtfaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”





While screaming something that could not be put into words, the Scarlet King dispersed his body. However, his blood magic transformed into a large red tree, blooming flowers, and bearing fruit. And the red fruit is reincarnated as the Scarlet King. 

By dying once, he escaped the effects of death magic. 

Of course, this was only possible because of the law of blood magic. 





"You're surprisingly quick to respond. Die."





Shu used death magic continuously. 

The fact that I diverted my attention to the outside world, even for a moment, was important. Shu stole the magical power from him when he directed it internally rather than externally. Although he was unable to kill the ``King'' with just a few uses of death magic, he still succeeded in stripping away a large amount of power from the Scarlet King and the Immortal King. 

Immediately, Shu activates multiple Gluttony Black Crystal Belze Materials. It devoured the raging energy and gathered it all towards Shu. This time, the heat energy was not completely absorbed, so no additional storms were generated. 

The battlefield was once again an empty field. 

The Hades, the Scarlet King, and the Immortal King paused and glared at each other. 





"Wouldn't you do it? The nameless 'king'"

"That's the habit of bones."

“Agaiedjangal?”

"I don't know what you're talking about, little girl."





The Immortal King smiles fearlessly. You can't tell if he's smiling or not because he's actually just bones, but he gave off that kind of vibe. 

Then, with a light wave of one hand, the space is torn apart. 

He used collapse magic to create a rift in the space, and then used that as a reference point to tear it apart. The depths of the torn space are filled with disintegration magic, and magic drips from there like tar. Also, that magical power receives the immortal king's thoughts and takes shape, becoming a dragon. 





"The strongest synonym is dragon."





The study of the immortal king is related to life and death. 

I arrived at this as a result of researching monsters, which are magical life forms in particular. He constructed the monster's body, which was originally made up of magical power, using disintegration magic. Furthermore, he has even developed and embedded a soul magic circle. You could call it magic that acts independently. 

Although it was a magic circle of immature souls, it was enough to move the dragon of disintegration magic. 





"Let's have our first actual battle. Let's go, Rokugo, Rokuryuu Horyuu, let's go."





It looks like a pitch black dragon with an orthodox shape. Also, the movements are somewhat awkward. 

However, it is definitely a monster constructed using disintegration magic. Shu's ``Wind of Death'' has a similar concept, but it only needs to be a simple movement like a virus. For this reason, the dragon is controlled by something more precise, something similar to a magic circle of souls. 

Suddenly, a breath of disintegration magic was released. 

The density and amount of magical power is indescribable, and even Shu doesn't think to offset it. Avoided by teleportation. However, his disintegration breath did not stop and continued to be released. Magic Magic is not something that can be used easily, even by a ``king''. Shu also uses death magic, prepared to consume a huge amount of magic power. I don't want to waste shots like Koryu. 





(That dragon doesn't feel that much magical power.)





Shu was evasively asking such questions. 

If you handle something with magic power, you should be able to clearly see that the magic power is decreasing. However, there is no such thing with the dragon dragon, and the magical power that can be felt from before has not changed. 





(What's going on?)





It was clearly a situation that deviated from the rules. 

The Kōryū's movements are extremely slow, and Shuu can easily avoid it. If you feel like it, you can fight back. However, since I was observing the dragon with no signs of decreasing its magical power, I didn't attack it in particular. 

Meanwhile, the Scarlet King was also letting his blood magic invade the desert. 

Blood, the source of life, was poured into it, and the seeds of plants that had been sleeping in the sand germinated. The Scarlet King, who gained control over plants, once again produces his follower, the Cursed Blood Tree Forbidden Dragon Leyline Apophus. However, the blood magic was stronger than before, and there were countless blood vessel-like patterns running through it. 





“aitweitlawekgheicsaietl,dkepwkdmalkedajtoelaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”





In response to the screams of the Scarlet King, who has become a child, the Cursed Blood Tree Forbidden Dragon Leyline Apophus produces something like a red tentacle. The tips of her tentacles resembled the jaws of a dragon, and she was about to bite Shu, the Immortal King, and the Dragon. 

As expected, there are many of them, and since they are made up of blood magic, they cannot be easily destroyed. 

The collapsing dragon destroys them with its collapsing breath, the immortal king counters with collapsing magic, and Shu continues to evade with teleportation. You could counter it with death magic, but it would consume a lot of magic power, so I refrained. 





"As expected, the 'King' is strong. Does that mean that the Hell King who was killed in a surprise attack was not weak?"





When I killed Helllord Belorg, I used death magic to drain his magic power after decapitating him with a surprise attack. However, he is now fighting the Scarlet King Sherry and the Immortal King Zenon Life at the same time, and the death magic will be countered with the same magic. 

Magic and magical power are absolute powers. 

It will no longer be a one-sided massacre like it has been in the past, and a battle will need to be devised. Even now, each ``king'' does not fight properly with his own body, instead leaving it to his followers or focusing on evasion. In particular, the Cursed Blood Tree Forbidden Dragon Leyline Apophus and the Kouryu are fighting fiercely. They are attacking each other with blood magic and disintegration magic, and are chipping away at each other. 

Shu continued to evade, but finally started attacking. 





"I guess I'll do a little experiment too."





I coated my sword in death magic and swung it from top to bottom. Then, death magic flew in the shape of a crescent moon, touched the body of Cursed Blood Tree Forbidden Dragon Leyline Apophus, and exploded. The death magic tore the entire space vertically, and the Cursed Blood Tree Forbidden Dragon Leyline Apophus was cut in half. 

Shu has a technique called ``Meidou'' that kills a single point in space with concentrated death magic power. This time it's an applied technique that combines space magic, ``Meidou Zangetsu''. This has the meaning of setting a unique time inside the killed space and making it a space that Shu can manipulate. Normal ``Meido'' is a technique that sucks up those around you like a black hole by killing the energy that supports space, but ``Meido Zangetsu'' allows you to freely control the space after killing. 

Shu snapped his fingers, and the gigantic wound that tore apart space suddenly closed. 

In addition, Shu released one after another a slash of death magic, ``Meidou Zangetsu''. Then, he cut through the huge Cursed Blood Tree Forbidden Dragon Leyline Apophus one after another. The open space was closed, and eventually the preparation was completed. 





(16 shots in total. Is that enough?)







《Meido Zagetsu》 manipulates the space it killed with spatial magic. 

In other words, even in a space that at first glance seems to have closed and returned to its original state, there is still a slash left as much as the 《Meitou Zagetsu》 was released. In other words, if Shu activates another time again, the wound in space will open. 

Therefore, Zangetsu. 

Shu snapped his fingers again and opened all 16 wounds at once. Naturally, at that time, the object on top of the wound is swallowed up by another space, making it appear as though it has been torn apart. Cursed Blood Tree Forbidden Dragon Leyline Apophus received almost all of the wounds and was torn into pieces, and the dragon was also cut in half. 

However, in the meantime, the two bodies are trying to regenerate their separated parts by connecting them with magical power. Shu took advantage of this gap by releasing ``Wind of Death'' and planting a micro-spirit made up of death magic. 

The minute spirit of death consumes the target's magical power, multiplies, and kills it from within. The minute spirit instantly devoured the Cursed Blood Tree Forbidden Dragon Leyline Apophus, leaving it in tatters. Although the part made up of blood magic eroded slowly, it was almost completely wiped out. Originally, the Cursed Blood Tree Forbidden Dragon Leyline Apophus had the property of absorbing magical power, but death magical power has no meaning. On the contrary, it was destroyed quickly due to its poor absorption properties. 

On the other hand, the collapse dragon's entire body is made up of collapse magic, so it cannot be killed. However, there is no concept of weathering in death magic power, and there is no concept of death in decay magic power. They fed on each other and competed with each other. As a result, the dragon stopped moving and crashed. It didn't kill me, but it worked well enough as a bug. 





“Your magic is peeling off, isn’t it?”

“aieijgakd!?”





Shu immediately activated death magic and stole the magic power from the Hiou. The current Scarlet King, who was just letting his blood magic run wild, was unable to defend against death magic and was easily robbed of his magic power. Shu was wary that the Immortal King might take advantage of this opportunity to attack, but his fears turned out to be unfounded. 

The Immortal King landed under the unmoving dragon and was investigating something. 





"Hmm. Is it the magical power that is stopping Rokugo? Hmm? It's slightly eroding, but is it even eroding the soul?"





It seems that he is busy thinking about things, so he temporarily leaves the front line. 

Shu decided to ignore the Immortal King and set his sights on the Scarlet King. Without hesitation, he released deadly magic power, which attacked the Scarlet King from all directions. Hiou also resists by swinging his blood magic like a whip, but Shuu's calculated attacks gradually push him into a corner. He was thinking of finishing off the Immortal King while he was distracted, so he didn't really care about his magical power consumption. 

However, in Shu's case, he can recover it at any time with death magic, so there is no need to worry about the amount of magical power. 

I thought it would slip through like a tentacle, but then it shot out sharply like a spear. Shu has also become accustomed to using death magic power, and has become able to use various attacks at the same time. When he first awakened as a ``King'', he could only release his energy and could barely control it, but now he was like a limb. 

Furthermore, he used ``Wind of Death'' to infiltrate the micro-spirit inside the Scarlet King again. This is to prevent resurrection through reincarnation. If you try to reincarnate, I will cause you to develop an illness and stop it. 





“aihaoeoaooeeooao, taskete!”

"No, die, Death."





Somehow, it looked like he was begging for his life. 

However, Shu mercilessly attacks her with death magic and kills her with death magic. Since the ``King'' has reached the Apocalypse level, he cannot be killed easily. However, there was nothing that could defeat the runaway Apocalypse class. Even with blood magic, there is only a passive way of sharing life and reincarnating yourself. There is no ingenuity such as combining it with magic like Shu and the Immortal King. 

The Scarlet King also steals nutrients from the earth and creates a large red tree. And he was trying to achieve another reincarnation by becoming one with himself. 





“That’s easy.”





Shu felt a feeling of disappointment. 

If you sense it carefully, you should be able to see that there is dead magic power inside of you. There's no way he wouldn't know what would happen if he performed a reincarnation ritual that exposed the magic circle of his soul in that state. 

The microscopic spirit that had infiltrated itself as a virus turns itself into death magic. 

At the moment of reincarnation, when he was completely defenseless, the deadly virus that infected him became ill.
