The Death Mage Who Doesn’t Want a Fourth Time

Once the flow changed, it continued to gain momentum.

"Stop it! They're the ones you're supposed to fight! You're not an heroic spirit!

"Don't run away! I didn't give you a retreat order! Hostile escape is a felony!?

Whatever the service priests and generals of the Jihad shouted, those who cooperated with the Vi 'dar Demon Imperial Army in the runaway [Demon King Shards] seal, those who prioritized the elimination of those who disturbed it, and those who tried to escape the battlefield remained.

The latter is particularly abundant. It's a jihad to defeat the Devil King, a historic duel, and it's not a dream to be born. The government of the Holy Nation of Amid and the Temple of Arda have called for conscription and recruited adventurers and mercenaries.

But when I actually fought, it didn't turn out to be such a glamorous battle, and I was forced to be disadvantaged all the time.

Had that been the case, no one would have fled for fear of the crime of enemy flight. But now it's stopped, but the dragon is dropping lightning from the sky, and the "five-colored blade" that was supposed to be there is absent. Instead, it came out as a group of Knights of the Spirit parasitized with [Demon King Shards].

They are becoming more and more disadvantaged, and instead of being defeated, they could be killed. What they expected from such fears was an operation to overcome the disadvantages caused by the command of the upper echelons of the Jihad.

However, the commander's mouth is lined up with all kinds of favors, but all he needs to do is "keep fighting."

"I could have done it! For this minute, the Holy Nation won't be far ahead!

"The" One Sword "and" Two Swords "of the" Fifteen Shattered Swords "were also killed! Ignore the runaway [Demon King Shards] and fight!? If you lose, you're out of your mind! I can't go out with you!

The jihadist commander is in a state of collapse so that he can't stop the escapees. And there was a negative chain of newly discovered people fleeing further.

But there were people gathering on the other side of the battlefield.

"I am the Botin Temple Warriors of Malmook! Cover the [Demon King Shard] seal!

"The Priest of the Temple of Peria in Karahad! Likewise!"

"Yond's Wizard Guild! We'll cover you too!

However, it is not to join the Jihad. They were those who left the battlefield at the start of the war, as instructed by Botine and Peria's mythology.

The giant dragons and pigs are showing up and rioting, so I'm not going to join the front, but I was wondering if Milg Shield would die if I let them go. The Vi 'dar Demon Imperial Army abandoned them.

Then, [Demon King Shards] heard from those who fled the jihadist army and ran away at the same time.

... few sorcerers in the sorcerers' guild think it's a chance to get valuable samples.

Of course, they don't fight the Vi 'dar Demon Empire. Instead, he is beating down the disturbing jihadists and blowing them up with magic.

"Your Holiness! Can I help you?!

The defeated jihadist cadres relied on Ariek, the chief commander of the jihadist army, but he had no power to change the situation.

What makes Ariek so good is his ability to receive the Oracle accurately. In addition to that, he has a deep knowledge of the myths of gods such as "God of Law and Life" Arda and the anecdotes of saints. He is also a versatile boy with qualities several steps higher than normal in magic and martial arts.

But on the contrary, that's all.

Even though he is only a teenage boy, his magic is only slightly inferior to that of adult mages and knights.

Of course, I don't have any special experience in battlefield command. Without generals and knights, we could march a hundred soldiers.

And Ariek's charisma is due to his fanatical faith in Arda. As a result, those who have broken their faith in Arda can no longer feel his charisma.

"I see. I will take command directly on the front lines."

So at this time, all he could do was fool around in a stupid scheme to say, "The General will take his own weapon and fight."

(Alda, please forgive me. More than half of the sacrificial sheep for jihad were turned into goats who did not listen to God's teachings. All I can do is lead the rest of the sheep to the altar of sacrifice)

Even here, Ariek had no doubts about Arda, no fear of death, and no guilt towards the Jihadist army general, whom he called the sacrificial sheep.

There is only the carelessness of not being able to accomplish the sacrament.

"His Holiness the Pope! His Holiness the Pope!

As he heard the message scream, Ariek wore armor that was supposed to be almost ceremonial and took the available mace and shield to the front.

The soldiers who still belonged to the Jihad and were fighting stood up to their appearance and returned to the morale they were frustrating....

"Hey, Your Holiness, Your Holiness has been attacked!

However, it was not a battlefield that was so gentle that a boy with a genius for receiving the Divine and somewhat higher than others could survive on the front lines.

"What?... is this some kind of joke?

"Maybe, Shadow Warrior?

Bilde and Katia, who had been instructed to defeat him because he appeared in front of him as the enemy's General Commander, were greatly troubled by the report he returned a few seconds later saying, "Well, looks like we got him." He shot the General, but the confusion was so great that he had no morale at all.

"Me! Do whatever it takes to avenge His Holiness!

And as Ariek wanted, many of the remaining jihadist generals rushed into Hell's battlefield.

There were only those who fought each other in the battle against the jihadist army, which was a tragic war that would not end even after the General Commander had been killed.

"Oooh! They say the General is dead!

"What's wrong with that!?

The battle between Schneider and Leonardo continued undecided.

Leonardo avoids a spear-sharp Schneider kick and his sword tries to cut through Schneider's shaft-legged tendon. Schneider kicks into the void and jumps in with his recoil, trying instead to knock Leonardo's head out of attack timing with his fist.

"Surely, when the Emperor collapsed, you pulled back and waited for the next Emperor to take office!?

"You're familiar with our rules. But don't worry."

Unable to circumvent Schneider's fist, Neviros, who was half-eared and bleeding, answered by engraving a knife between his eyebrows.

"That kid said that even if he collapsed, he should continue his sacrament. But I didn't mean to pull it off without it."

Hmm, I guess.

Schneider looked at Leonardo's eyes and punched his tongue to understand that his old madness was growing.

On the contrary, they were trying to kill each other if they had the chance. I've never thought of them as good enemies, and I've never felt friendship. They're all enemies.

That's why Schneider was aware of the erosion of [Demon King Shards] in Leonardo. The brow spatter is not caused by the agony and pain of the wound for not being able to compete, but because it resists the increasing madness.

Still, why not? For Leonardo, it's not the next place to pull.

Whatever the Holy Nation of Amid thinks, it will perish after this. Whether Heinz beats Vandalou or not, it doesn't matter. We have done so much damage, depleted our power and lost our authority. Moreover, Ariek has not instructed any measures to rebuild the country after this jihad…

The fact that he went to the battlefield and did not hesitate to die on his own front, but did not even designate a successor, would suggest that he was indifferent to the trends of the post-jihadist Amid Holy Nation and the fate of those left behind.

It is good that it will be absorbed by any country that has been treated as a country until now, or divided and governed. In the worst case scenario, the monsters of the surrounding demons and dungeons are not missed, and they are buried and killed by runaway monsters.

When I returned to such a country, there was no way forward.

And Leonardo is ready for the final battle. He activated [Demon King's Heart] himself for the first time to win a fight against Schneider.

As a result, you gain the [Demon King Erosion] skill, and its level is rising from 1. The level won't drop if you stop using [Demon King's Heart].

In other words, this battle is the last time Leonardo will be able to do his utmost.

"I'm sorry, but you're gonna have to hang out with me till I die! If you don't want to be killed, you'll have to kill me first!

Schneider did his utmost to avoid a fast and accurate [Demon King's Kiss (Hmm)] thrust by Leonardo with a spectacular smile.

"I will! Think about it, there's nothing as dangerous as letting Teme go! But what do we do!? Time is on our side!

Schneider is right, the battle here has already been won by the Vi 'dar Demon Imperial Army.

The Commander-in-Chief fell down, and all that remained was a statue that ran wildly into hatred. The rest are fighting the spirit of the gods of the disturbing Arda faction to seal [Demon King Shards]. Jigrat was freed from Demon King Soul Fragments.

Bododo is still in trouble, but it will be more than a matter of time before Vandalou comes.

On the other hand, the higher the level of the [Demon King Erosion] skill, the more powerful [Demon King's Heart] will be. However, Leonardo's spirit collapses as soon as the level of [Demon King Erosion Degree] increases, turning him into a monster instead of a swordsman.

And your friends are also missing.

"Gh, ooh!

"Ah, to Amid, to Amid."

Glory...!

Bjolsson, the magic division of the "one man magic division", depleted by magic, failed to prevent Lisana's breath, which appeared as the "drunken evil god", and fell down. Just a bath paralyzes the brain and stops breathing and heartbeat, the breath of a dead liquor.

However, the thin body pulsated unnaturally and swollen, breaking the skin from the inside and something appeared.

[New host -]

"Yes, a little while before the Vandalou arrives, but sealed!

[Meet me...]

The [Demon King Shards] parasitic to Bjolsson were inhaled and sealed in the container of Orihalcon that Lisana threw at her.

"I don't know if it's the [Demon King's Kidney] or the [Liver], but thanks to it, alcohol is not working.... where did you find those shards?

"Coincidence!

Dolton repeatedly attacked Notrus, shouting back at Lisana. And his screams were true.

Demon King Fragment is the body of Gudulanis, divided into countless pieces of flesh, which has been transformed into separate parts as each body attempts to regenerate itself to revive. For this reason, there are an overwhelming number of things you don't know about what kind of shards it is unless you unseal it.

However, if the seal has been unbroken in the past and the record of that time remains, you can know what kind of [shard] it is. In addition, even if you remove the seal and parasite yourself, you can sense the nature of Fragments .

In addition, it is possible to know the nature even if it is processed into [Devil's Ornament].

It is unclear how Bjolsson learned about the nature of the [shard], but as a result, it was a good match for Lisana, so he would have to deal with her.

"Zod! Merdin, not yet!?

"I want you to wait a little longer!

"These guys are tougher than they look!

Zod and Merdin succeeded in defeating several other "Fifteen Shattered Swords", but then a member of their lower organization, the "Pattern", attacked and was unable to move.

Needless to say, originally, no matter how many members of the "pattern" are, they can be defeated in an instant.

Original vampire Zolcodrio! They'll seal it like 100,000 years ago!

I can't face the Lord unless I defeat the weakest of you in the Storm of Atrocities!

However, the members of the "Pattern" were remodeled in the same way as the Knight of the Spirit into the age of the Spirit. Originally, members of the "pattern" are taught not to hesitate to throw their lives to achieve their mission.

That's why they chose to go on their own and become obsolete in order to make their flesh a container for the Spirit in this jihad.

The Arieks did not notice, but their power is higher than that of the Ghost Knight, who uses the criminal's body.

"Looks like you're the only one with the guts!

Oops!?

But for Zod, it's just enough to "wait a little longer" to defeat him.

"Kh, it's getting stronger than 100,000 years ago!?

Stupid, he didn't even have Martial Arts talent!

"Since Zod was released from the seal you put on him, I've been working out every day, so it's only natural that he's getting stronger. You guys, who don't usually have flesh, didn't notice!

Merdin moves his arms and legs wide, dancing across his body and shaking his ax acrobatically. As guided by her movements, Zod's fist was thrown to shatter the bones of the spirits, the electric shock was emitted to burn the flesh and blood, and the shock waves that trembled the atmosphere struck the internal organs.

"No, no, I'm not alone. Thanks to everybody. Due to the power of bonding with fellow citizens!

Merdin is right, the current zod, which is more muscular with more workouts, is much stronger than the one a hundred thousand years ago. But his strength is enhanced by his collaboration with Merdin, who fights together.

By matching her movements, Zod is able to gain her talent as a warrior and exert more power than she could have.

"We are the Storm of Atrocities! It doesn't make sense, like the size of an individual's power!

"Gu, guuuuuuu!? Oh, my, my...!

Even if the spirit who broke his flesh against Zod stayed on the ground and tried to fight, at that moment Merdin's axe cut his head to his groin, taking damage and losing his ability to stay on the ground.

Well, I guess that's what I'm saying.

Merdin's axe is made of Orihalcon, but he can't shatter his soul, so the lost Spirit only returns to the Divine Spirit, but it is only a few thousand years later that he will be able to descend on Earth again. It is essentially a retirement.

"... it's time for the tide. Well, it's almost time for the package to arrive."

Leonardo saw his friends fall one after the other and decided that there was not much time left to fight Schneider one-on-one.

"What do you mean?

The moment Schneider looked suspicious, a splash of blood splashed across Leonardo's body. I couldn't stand the pressure raised by Demon King's Heart . I tore my skin and bled out.

"You're blindfolding me!? [No sword blade]!

However, Schneider shook his knife in spite of the blood splash. I definitely hit it, but...

"Shit!

But he couldn't get rid of Leonardo by folding it. Because he hit the knife with his right hand, which held Leonardo's [Demon King's Ornament].

The Martial Arts unleashed by his superior skills cut off the Oriharcon seal that had been converted into the Demon King's Ornament , which would not normally have been torn apart.

Schneider backed down aggressively to escape the liberated [Demon King's Kiss].

"Hahaha!

On the contrary, however, Leonardo shouted his fingerless hand at [Demon King's Kiss] with a laugh that made him feel mad.

Meet me!

And [Demon King's Kiss] merged happily with Leonardo, who had already parasitized [Demon King's Shards] all at once.

That's not all. Members of the "Pattern", which was not the vessel of the Heroic Spirit, rushed to Leonardo to collect the [Devil's Ornament] dropped by the defeated Knights of the Heroic Spirit. They threw it at Leonardo without hesitation.

"Kukuku! Hahahaha!

The seal of the [Demon King's Ornament] thrown at him is pierced with the [Demon King's Kiss] created from inside his body.

[[[Me, Meet Seri!

Countless [Demon King Shards] enter and mutate Leonardo's body. Instead of the lost prey and fingers, [Demon King's Kiss] appeared on the opposite arm as a shield, and the shape was changed from both knees to [Demon King's Abdomen and Foot].

"Hahahahaha! Come on, let's play this moment, put your life and your soul to the test!

The level of the Demon King Erosion skill increases acceleratively and the ego collapses at a terrible speed. Leonardo ran away leaving behind all the combat skills and madness he had cultivated while offering his memories, emotions and reason to [Demon King Shards].

"Do whatever you want!

Schneider intercepted Leonardo from the front, literally slipping in between at a speed that did not seem to be the same as a snail.

"[Crushing mountains and cutting seas without axes]!

Leonardo tries to prevent the heel drop that Schneider swings down like an axe with a [Demon King's Lid] equivalent to the lid that shellfish use to block the mouth of the shellfish. However, the moment the two collided, it was [Demon King's Lid] and Leonardo's one arm that broke apart.

"Kill!"

With all the black blood scattered, Leonardo pointed his sword at Schneider in a standing position.

"[Extreme Readiness]!

However, Schneider uses a martial arts technique that enhances his reflex speed to avoid getting his eyes pierced by [Kiss] at the last minute. However, my ears were scraped and the blood splashed flashy.

Aiming for Leonardo's gap with his arm stretched out, Schneider fires a strike at his head.

"Yaaaaaa!

Leonardo tries to prevent the player from turning his shattered arm into a [Demon King's Teeth]. With a tongue with fine teeth on its surface, Schneider tried to shred the flesh and bones of his arm.

"[Piercing/Extreme]! [Stifler]!

But Schneider let go. The skin of the arm is scraped off with Teeth and Tongue . However, the underlying muscles resisted the [teeth and tongue] and were not scraped off just by a fine scratch.

"Gaga!?

The Schneider's knuckle does not stop, he goes right through Leonardo's nose to the top left and blows it away. Having lost a quarter of his head and almost half of his brain, Leonardo quickly regains his posture and starts spiking again with a [kiss].

However, it could not penetrate Schneider's thick chest plate, and instead it broke.

And that ended Leonardo's life as a swordsman. Your body is distorted by a creepy sound that resembles the beating of your heart, and until then, it's starting to collapse in shape as a person you've kept at your fingertips.

"Anything is too muscular. What the hell is going on?

"I learned [Muscle Magic] from Zod's guy."

"Why haven't you used it before?

"With your sword arm, it's no use making your muscles hard."

"I see... well, [teeth and tongues] are not swords."

The sight was very strange. Even the unchanged head is largely chipped and the cross section of the brain is visible, but the conversation is just normal.

Was Leonardo's madness so strong that [Demon King Erosion Degree] would not collapse even if it reached 10 levels, or did he not already use his brain?

Well then, I'll leave it to you to clean up. Ahh... it was fun. "

That said, Leonardo lightly stabbed himself in the heart and the remaining half of his brain with the [Demon King's Kiss].

[New hosts for me!

At that moment, Leonardo's death fused several fragments that had parasitized him and began a runaway at once.

"Shit! You Leonardo bastard, you're not a kid, you're cumming with your playthings!

The Schneider flew quickly and avoided being parasitized by [Demon King Shards].

"Where's the man in charge!? I'll kill you!... damn it, not after he's already dead!

Surely the Carmine of the Zero Sword was not the summer of the Fifteen Shattered Swords

"I'm sorry, that carmine burned me black a long time ago...."

Merdin and Zod, who defeated the Heroic Spirit or exhausted their power to stay on earth, and Lisana joined Dorton, who defeated Notrus.

"[Healing Breathe]"

Lisana blows peach breath, quickly healing Schneider's wounds.

"Thank you. But... can you seal this? I'm just counting, but there's more than five pieces fused together.

The more [Demon King Shards] you gather, the more powerful you become when you run away. Historically, there have been at most five successful seals among the records. In that case, several countries have been destroyed.

It should be noted that Schneider and the others have never sealed so many fused Fragments .

"I can't help it. Zod, get Vandalou while we hold him off!

"That's the only way."

Whoa, that's not going to happen.

But before the Schneiders could move, someone appeared and swallowed what was Leonardo.
