Kuraki Kyuuden no Shisha no Ou

Lesson 34: The Phantom King (9)

The serial strike was just like a black storm.

The vampire's strength just surpasses the physical abilities of the End Knight, enhanced with blessings. The endless vertical swing with a long spear of reach rolling out of its mighty flesh is the hardest thing for the End Knight to deal with.

The sword will make you feel better, but not with a spear. There were no moves in that spin, but that's why it's hard to take.

I don't think of myself as a former magician. The figure was like a beast, but backed up by a definite experience.

Even if you're a mage, even if you haven't learned your moves, mighty physical abilities outweigh everything.

Still, explode your blessings at your feet and back off. All you have to do is attack from a distance if you have bad minutes in melee combat.

Immediately Luffrey and Nevila assemble at Cenli and receive a spear. The moment he concentrated his power on the sword, the Phantom King laughed.

"I know, I know, your M.O...."

Stores and emits the light of blessing for a moment.

At that moment when the light of purification, which is not as flashy as annihilation but surely damages the immortal, hits the king of the phantom, a wall appeared before it.

It hits the walls of the earth and the light fogs lightly.

Unless you convert it into the energy of destruction, like annihilation, the light of blessing has no capacity for destruction.

Luffrey, who consolidated his left and right, emits a light of purification on the traction, and Nevira is beaten with a mace. Against the simultaneous attack, the Phantom King took a step back.

Crystals flourish from the ground. Black polished crystals reflected light and received Nevira's mace.

- Strong. I'm used to fighting.

The power of blessings only touches to extinguish the undead and prevent temper, but objects with entities cannot be extinguished and prevented.

Besides, they use witchcraft in no-time as they move.

So the Phantom King looked down upon his palm. Crystals shatter and scatter.

"Mmm... I didn't know the demonic flesh of blood was so far - weak. I don't have enough power to die."

It's a hard word to believe.

But the opponent was once destroyed by the Knights of the End with total force.

It's a situation where the king of the dead is not supposed to have any subordinates. It's definitely not full.

Then the Phantom King put his spear on the ground and smiled quietly.

"But what a nervousness - long time, I forgot. This, bloody flesh leaping, hating the living, this emotion too"

What was in that voice - was joy. Unstoppable joy. Even if you do not, you will be reminded that the Demon King is resurrected.

This vampire is raw. It's not like the end. Besides, there's no indication at all whether it's even out of pre-reincarnation influences.

Cenri bit her lip.

Vampires with the appearance of a person and no signs of death. If we let him get away with it, there will be enormous damage. Definitely - the enemy of all life.

The magic that a powerful undead possesses is not comparable to a living human being.

The vampire in front of you is out of gas. Perhaps because the ritual was inhibited on the way by the end, it is not yet complete.

Probably not even a vampire. There's no way vampires don't use powerful special abilities.

"Well, good. Drain your blood and moisturize this intolerable dryness."

The Phantom King laughs.

When I slapped the ground with a spear, a huge pile grew from the ground and hit me.

§

The onslaught was just like a storm. Definitely the top undead I've ever fought, besides being so incompatible.

Blessings are versatile energies, but some of them are good and bad.

What blessings are good at is purification and recovery. And what I don't like about blessing is defense against destruction and mass attack.

The ground rises as if it were a tsunami, and massive amounts of debris descend in fury.

It easily crushes the defenses of Luffrey's extensively deployed shield of light and does not donate the nevira or centipede he tried to step in.

"Huh... Damn it!

It's not a matter of moves. It is the overwhelming destruction allowed by the mighty.

The Phantom King strikes to hide in the rubble that stands as if it were a creature. Take that blow away with your sword. Retract and avoid debris flying from above.

No matter what blessing the flesh is fortified with, if it is attacked by a large mass, there will be no stopover.

"Weak, weak! This is the extent of the Unherded End Knight!

Serial penetrations and ambushes could not be dealt with properly without the enhancement of perception by blessings.

Countless piles of crystals are ejected into the luffrey, which has changed its standing position in a slightly inconspicuous manner. The Phantom King laughs as excited.

"Ha ha ha ha! If you concentrate, you can shoot the big moves!!

The eyes were filled with joy of battle. The attack is a big mess, but it's not something that can handle one hassle.

Everything on the earth is on the side of the vampire in front of you.

The range of attack is too wide. Nor is the king sufficient, but there is no way he can challenge the undead to win an enduring battle.

The three of us were very undernumbered to defeat the mighty king in front of this eye.

Jiri is poor as it is. If you leave, they'll follow you.

Be prepared and step forward. The thrust even left the sound behind. Rubble strikes at the same time as a series of lightning strikes.

sharpened focus and avoided poking with minimal movement.

Anything you can't avoid plays with a sword. The debris pierces the centipede's body, but it doesn't back down.

The End Knight is also an expert in recovery. What we need is - I'm ready. If you're even determined to be ready, move on.

Bloody eyes were opened for the first time.

"Oh, oh!

Play the heavily wielded spear with your sword at all costs.

A strong paralysis runs to the marrow of the bone to a blow that is very unbearable to man. But Cenri laughed.

Previously on Cenri, it was impossible to play. I managed to flush the attack now, thanks to the end and the frequent mock warfare.

"Huh, here, laugh! End knight!

And Cenri stepped in.

The strength of the spear is the breadth of the reach. But at the same time it is a disadvantage.

If you get into the nostalgia, the sword is better than the spear - advantageous.

Right at the end of his eyes and nose, there was a king of phantoms.

Inject the power of blessing into your sword. The sword bears a strong light, and his bloody eyes narrow.

Swing up your sword and step in.

At the same time, a wall appeared to the left and right of the Phantom King.

"Huh!?

"Ha ha ha! I didn't think you'd notice.

A bottle of holy water thrown by Nevila from the blind spot hits the dirt wall and cracks.

Holy water is a weakness of vampires. But if you don't hit it, it doesn't make sense.

It was a perfect ambush. But they noticed. The Phantom King takes down the sword of Cenri with a pattern of spears.

It returns a hard feeling. But more than that, it was the shock that the ambush was averted.

The Phantom King screams.

"Bluffs, etc. come through! Your sword doesn't have enough intent to kill!

"Huh!!

Failed. The debris plunders on his cheeks and blood splashes. Falsify sharp pain with war.

It was sweet. I didn't lose my hand. But there was certainly no life on the blow.

Because we have company - the End Knight is trained to win absolutely.

I was spotted loose. Is it because it's been a long time since we've worked together?

Regret passes the back of your brain for a moment, but you can't even afford to be in custody. Spears and swords collide, sparks scattered violently.

But the blade does not sweep upon the king's skin with a sword.

"Ha ha ha! Nice, nice tone! Such a battle, since when!

The Phantom King is definitely wearing out too. But that crazy laugh never stops.

Blood splashes. But my head is calm.

"Cenri, once you pull!

I hear Ruffrey's voice far away.

But Cenri was ready to die. Concentrate. Think only of driving survival out of your head and destroying it.

Play the blade, the rubble, just instinct. The expression of the Phantom King changes.

Not as good as it looks. There is very little difference between him and me. But if we put time aside, the difference keeps opening up.

Move on. This is the watershed.

Light sheds darkness. If you hit a blow, you'll have a winning chance. Cenri roared for the first time.

"Ahhhhhhhhh!

"Huh!?

Step in unobstructed.

In contrast, the action taken by the Phantom King - was a retreat.

Exactly like flying speed. A dozen meters down in one step, the Phantom King opened his eyes.

"Idiot, dude... this my- barometric, you say!?

"Huh..."

Luffrey and Nevila, who came forward, support the left and right of the centipede, which is still likely to fall.

What we needed was a gap. I'm still conscious.

And - Cenri flew.

Mobility by blessing. "Light Wings".

Supported by Ruffrey and Nevila, he stands dozens of meters above in an instant.

Flight by blessing is high tech. Humans are not able to fly.

We need a buildup, which is very unusable during high-speed combat, but it is immense to be able to take control of the airspace.

Far below you can see a shadow king like a bean grain. The power of the king of the earth cannot be unleashed in the sky either.

"Cenri, do it"

"Huh……………"

Now it's time to squeeze out your life. Ruffrey and Nevila are too much. Besides, I can't expect help because I'm focused on flying.

The energy that feels inexhaustible concentrates on the sword. Make yourself a wave of sword.

That power that the Phantom King prevented from annihilating. I never used that mirror crystal during the fight.

The opponent is wearing out. It shouldn't be the kind of move you can use in a row.

No - it doesn't matter if you can use it continuously. If you can use it continuously, just "destroy" it until you die.

And at that moment when I tried to unleash my power - the hill where the Phantom King stood collapsed and swelled.

"Lose, little girl. Mine, not a tenth of them alive, kid!

"Huh!?

The ground beeps. The rocks were reassembled and created - huge arms.

The immense magic that befell him had reached heaven in an instant.

A giant flat hand made of crystals casts a shadow on the centipede.

Definitely. This is the last blow. The opponent and this one, the next blow is the last.

Huge masses descend. But I'm not in a hurry.

Take a big, deep breath and focus your strength. I heard voices - on the back of my hand.

Gently turn your sword up. I don't feel it in my hands anymore. But my hands aren't shaking.

And Cenri finally, in her heart, apologized.

End, I'm sorry.

What was it, then, an apology for?

And the light unleashed.

§ § §

A rock, a crystal, pours down on the ground. The roar rocked the world and didn't stop ringing for a while.

The earth shakes as if crying, and abruptly stops.

The moonlight was illuminating the wasteland.

The trees that grew around them were swallowed by the earth, and the ancient castle, which should no longer have grown for many years, is not even shadowed.

All three shadows descend to earth and fall to collapse as they are.

The most serious injuries are the centipede that squeezed their power in a bleak state, but there is no longer much power left about the other two - Nevila and Luffrey.

But he's alive.

Looking up to heaven, Luffrey raises his plundered voice.

"Yay, yay..."

The last light of annihilation emitted by Cenri. It did wipe out the attack of the Phantom King altogether.

It was really just that. If extinction had not been achieved, the Luffreys would surely have been crushed and lost their lives.

I can't move one more finger. But the centipede is more seriously wounded.

Blessing is the energy of life, and using it up even temporarily until it is depleted is a dangerous situation.

We should get it to the city as soon as possible, but apparently Nevila is in the same situation. When he saw his fellow rolling next door, Ruffrey laughed bitterly.

Luffrey can't move a single finger because while using light wings, he sent the force to the centipede with minimal force. The fact that Nevila is in the same condition means that her neighbors made the same choice.

I guess Nevila only faces it because he realizes the same thing.

Though third class, the Luffreys are also end knights. A little rest will restore you to the point where you can move.

The moment the relaxed air was about to drift, the dry voice echoed.

"Ha, ha... brilliant, a blow, ha..."

Stupid - impossible. The Cenri attack should have been completely defeated.

I can't read the signs of the Phantom King. But that voice, which echoes from nowhere, certainly belonged to the Phantom King.

"The knights of this age, the knights of the end, do it outside"

Shadows over the heads of the Luffreys. I desperately try to move my body, but my body doesn't move at all.

Deep red eyes were peeking at the three of them. The voice of the Phantom King was dry, but there was an obvious wear on his expression, but no scratches or anything like that were found.

The Phantom King laughs.

"Kuku... why, but you told me. The End Knight. It was on my hands that I spoke out - it was just a rock doll."

"Huh..."

No, I didn't notice.

No, I would definitely have noticed if it was normal time, but I couldn't afford to notice enough in extreme circumstances.

To the expression of the Luffreys, but the Phantom King clouds his expression.

"Don't tell me you're cowardly. I don't like it either. I didn't know you could be reincarnated and soiled in the first war."

The centipede remains unconscious and does not move in a tickle.

I can't move my body. Blessings are also depleted.

The Phantom King stretches out his arms to a centipede where he can lay without strength.

"Proud, but good, that only three of us have hunted down this Phantom King - and there is no need to be afraid. You live forever as my flesh."

"Heh... Damn, fuck you, but"

Angry Nevila voice. But the hand was not moving at all due only to tremors.

Blessings revolve around the blood of the End Knight. Blood under the power of blessing is very poisonous, there is no way you can suck blood if you are normal.

But now Cenri uses up her powers and her blessings are depleted.

No, you can't let him breathe blood.

The power of the king in front of you is mighty. If we regain our strength, this time it will be a great disaster.

The only blood a vampire can take in power is living blood. But we can't even kill ourselves with the Luffreys right now.

My fingertips approach the centipede in front of the Luffreys, who desperately try to move their flesh.

At that moment when the blue and white fingers tried to touch its neck muscle, the fit and its movement stopped.

"What are you...?"

The Phantom King gives a face. Standing behind it - was a run-down youth.

The hands and feet are broken in an unspoilt direction, and the whole body is dirty with dirt and dust. There was no light behind his eyes and his white hair quietly reflected the moonlight.

It was so strange to be standing.

If you were human, you definitely wouldn't live in such a state.

But the young man was definitely alive. No, the expression that he was alive is a mistake.

It's dead, but it's moving.

The Phantom King rises hundreds of millions in the figure of an end reminiscent of the Hell's deceased.

"Vampires... Abikode and I were fighting... alive, were we?"

The feet of the Phantom King fluttered. But the foot of the end is no more restrained than that.

Those eyes were not focused as if they were dead. I don't even show any reaction to the words of the Phantom King.

The Phantom King stretches out his arms and squeezes his neck. The damp sound rises, but the ends don't even move tightly.

The eyebrows of the Phantom King distort, as if they had seen something creepy as well.

"... what??? Sir, what is it? Have you returned to the deceased? Why is it moving?

For the first time, End reacted to the words.

An eye wandering through the universe regains focus and sees the Phantom King.

Behind her eyes, red as blood, was darkness. Arms lift up powerlessly, accompanied by the arms of the Phantom King holding his neck.

My throat, which is supposed to be oppressed, moves, and I get a voice that's going to disappear now.

"I, am... unconscious... king. Pain..................................................................................................................................................................................................."

"Huh?... what,?

Obviously, to the half-dead opponent, the Phantom King asks.

The end's eyes are wide open, and its gaze is on the ground - to be precise, it is directed towards a falling centipede.

And the end told him to squeeze his power.

"Kokon, Miyagi,"

"What... so...?

The broken hands and legs made a crisp sound and returned to normal. Power returns to the fingertips that should have just been accompanied, gripping the arms of the Phantom King.

The light returns to my eyes. But the darkness behind it remains intact.

The Phantom King flutters. My throat still remained crushed, but the next voice that came out wasn't plundering anymore.

"I am - the king of Kongu. The Lord named it to overtake and rule all the darkness."

What are you talking about? But the Phantom King opens his eyes.

"The name, it's important. That's why Lord used it as a key. The Phantom King."

Luffrey, who is losing most of his power, also figured it out.

The signs of its death rapidly thicken, as if the shackles had come off.

That was a remarkable change as if it were changing into another being.

The arms of the shadow king that was gripped make a noise and break. I try to retreat one step later, but the end won't let go of my arm.

Even vampire power doesn't work. There is an alarm over the look on the face of the Phantom King.

And the end smiled. Red eyes like blood emit a golden light - a demonic light.

You thought of its existence, the look on the face of the Phantom King was distorted.

The eyes that emit the light of gold are a sign of the noble.

A dreaded immortal who has accumulated a special mass of blood sucking power among the demons of blood.

Vampire aristocrats that attention will come to the Knights of the End just because they confirm their birth, and they will even be scared of their fellow countrymen.

"Your kind of vampire, Noble Vampire." Huh... yes, eh. Why did you go to Avicord? "

"If possible, if possible... I wanted to put it behind me. Even pain, I tolerate. I missed the light. At least for one day."

My face had not changed. But the atmosphere has obviously changed.

The bloodless appearance is ruffled, same-sex, and so beautiful that it soothes.

Tears of blood flow from the eyes of gold. Is it because of the freshness of mutation? But the voice was terribly calm.

"But - that's enough. You hurt my darling - I don't want to use dirty words, but I'll kill you."
