Chapter 200 – 49. Demon King (3)
Park Min-ho ran with all his might through the overgrown bushes.
He climbed steep hills, climbed huge boulders, jumped over thick tree roots.
Park Min-ho had no choice but to turn a little to the side to avoid the waves of beasts rushing in, but nonetheless, Park Min-ho cut the distance with Seung-hyeon in half in an instant.
The brilliant [Light] Attribute infused his body with power.
As the lower body, which had a lot of strength, stamina, and endurance, spurred the ground, dirt and dust flew in all directions and swept the surroundings.
‘The buff is much better than usual!’
His ability had risen to the point where it was incomparably higher than when he trained every day, and if he lost focus even for a moment, his body would lose his balance and fall to the ground.
It’s hard to handle this power overflowing all over the body.
‘I still have to do it!’
Park Min-ho realized.
The reason why the property’s performance is suddenly unusual.
That is, even in the current situation of encountering a missing classmate and an enemy,
Because his intentions are good,
Because his actions are right,
Because his will was firm.
Justice.
Currently, Park Min-ho is pursuing justice more passionately than anyone else in the world.
The [Light] Attribute was that as his owner pursued the light in his heart, he did his best to fulfill that noble purpose.
‘Now…! You can do it!’
Park Min-ho runs without hesitation while wearing a dazzling aura.
Although his ability has greatly increased, the light emitted in all directions has also become brighter, as if a white star has fallen to the ground.
And, it was not an opponent who could not notice it.
In the first place, [Light], The opposite of [Shadow], Is not suitable for infiltration.
“Park Min-ho…”
Seo Seung-hyeon ordered the masters to block Park Min-ho’s approach. Attack that man right now.
However, they were all dying with her feet tied by Min Hye-rin’s rare massacre.
“Tsk, useless stuff.”
And so, a shadow soared in the air.
This is deep in the mountains. The thick trees block the sunlight, so it is dark even in broad daylight. In other words, it is a stage for the [Shadow] Attribute. As Seo Seung-hyun and the demon king intended.
Jet-black daggers rose from the shadowy ground.
Even estimating the number is in the hundreds.
Each of them has enough energy to pierce the human body.
They were literally fired at Park Min-ho from all directions.
It was a fatal number that could not be avoided.
“Die!”
Seo Seung-hyun, who did not hide his intention to kill his classmate, could not help but open his eyes wide.
“What?!”
The black thorns, which were an attack of conversion, all disappeared when a blinding light radiated from Park Min-ho’s skin.
His steps did not stop, nor did he slow down in the slightest.
“Damn it!”
As Seo Seung-hyun stepped on the ground, the shadow in front of Park Min-ho rose as a huge body and separated them.
It is a curtain of darkness that seems to divide the world in half. A black hole that, if touched, will be sucked into an infinite pit. The labyrinth, which has no choice but to lose its sense of direction, gives Mia pure fear.
However, the veil was mercilessly torn by the sword of light Park Min-ho wielded.
“!!!”
Looking at Park Min-ho, who had passed through the hole and reached a distance, Seo Seung-hyun put his black hand into his shadow and took out his weapon.
It was a black spear as long as his height.
However, the darkness of this window is a different level from the previous shadows.
It is not a shade that is lost by bright light, but a darkness that is more than enough to absorb all nearby light.
Chaeng!!
For the first time, Park Min-ho’s light stopped going straight.
As the sword of light and the spear of shadow clashed head-on, shockwaves of conflicting abilities began to devastate the forest on top of the cliff.
“Seunghyeon-ah! It’s me, Park Min-ho! Wake up!!”
“Don’t disturb me!!!”
The trajectory of light and the curve of shadow repeated collision.
Originally, when a swordsman and a spearman fight one-on-one, the spear is more advantageous due to the difference in reach.
However, their fighting style was the exact opposite.
Against Park Min-ho’s endless sword attacks, Seo Seung-hyun continued to back up and defend.
It was the moment when Park Min-ho’s swordsmanship, which he had worked hard on himself every day, shined.
It was a long way from the foolish Chang, who hadn’t practiced much, to overcome the sword of madness, which had been forged to the point of giving up precious things beyond ordinary diligence.
Nevertheless, the reason this fight didn’t end right away was because one side really wanted to kill the enemy, while the other side wanted to subdue their friend unscathed.
“Now wake up! Seunghyun-ah!!”
“Keuaaaaa!! Let go of this!”
However, Seo Seung-hyun could never win.
He made a very bad choice.
That is, the idea of defeating Park Min-ho in a head-to-head confrontation.
If Seo Seung-hyeon wanted to seize even the smallest odds, he would have had to run away or engage in guerrilla warfare by hiding in the shadows of this vast mountain range.
In the end, he made the same mistake as the demon king 300 years ago.
It is because Seo Seung-hyun’s pride did not even look at the possibility of defeat, and his advisor, Casperence, was distracted by other things.
Are shadows always destined to disappear by light?
“Turn it off!!!”
Buy Aak ·····.
Finally, the white light that touched Seo Seung-hyun’s skin drove away the black energy.
Looking at his friend who was slowly regaining his familiar skin color, Park Min-ho cheered inwardly.
‘It worked!’
I prevented a mistake that could not be undone by a friend who was stained with the madness of the epic [Shadow] Attribute.
With this, about 7 months after being summoned to another world, one of the five missing people was finally returned to our class.
As a result, a tremendous sense of achievement and a sense of sorrow surged up in his heart.
Contrary to Seunghyun, it was because a friend who had left this world came to mind.
‘Eugene, watch over me from above…’
By all means, I’ll try to find the other three somewhere on this continent.
With your own hands.
Mistakes made then will not be repeated.
“Ugh…”
“Seunghyeon-ah! Are you out of your mind?”
Eventually, when the ominous darkness completely disappeared from his friend’s whole body, Park Min-ho relaxed and stretched out his hand.
Seo Seung-hyeon, who narrowed his eyes, raised his arm as well.
But their hands did not overlap.
Pooh!
“What?!”
Black nails dug into Park Min-ho’s belly.
Seo Seung-hyeon had been hiding the shadows of his fingertips from the brilliant light by tying his fingers inside.
The attack was made by combining his clever trick with Park Min-ho’s hasty relief.
It was truly a [Shadow]-Esque surprise.
So it was successful
“Die!!”
* * *
The demon king descended the cliff quickly but carefully and stealthily.
He couldn’t travel alone yet, so he tore off some of the shadows of his host, Seo Seung-hyeon, and used them as carriers.
Small jet-black fragments moved alternately through the thick shadows of the trees as they approached their target.
It was like hunting a beast of prey cautiously approaching a herbivore.
This is something Casperence is most confident about.
He has been a predator ever since he was born. The whole world was his prey. Because it was designed to devour the world itself.
300 years ago, no creature could stand in its way alone.
So I didn’t know at the time.
The Demon King learned that even a single prey could kill a predator if it gathered countless times while being defeated by the warrior party and the human army.
So now he doesn’t repeat the same mistakes as before.
‘That’s not all.’
The demon king’s realization did not stop here.
After gaining half-freedom with Seo Seung-hyun’s body,
Growing up in the power of [Shadow] And becoming arrogant,
When he secretly acted in Count Cusreal with the intent to devour a single human city,
Casperence realized a very significant fact that paralleled the lessons of 300 years ago.
‘I am not the top predator in this world.’
That day, the vicious aura, which was clear even from a great distance, made him shudder in shock.
As you can guess, the existence possessed the attributes of a legend higher than the narrative level [Shadow], And the body was also powerful just by its energy, so it was like the dragon in the story.
It was a monster that surpassed not only now, but also the main throne in its heyday.
A being that cannot be challenged.
‘But it’s not absolute.’
Even though the demon king chewed his own weakness to the bone, he did not lose his confidence.
No matter how strong the enemy is, the main seat is constantly growing and evolving.
Is your opponent strong? If so, all you have to do is devour the entire world except for it. That monster will not be stronger than the world that gave birth to it.
So all I had to do was hide in the dark and catch and eat the prey.
What he does best
If you repeat that, you can become an apex predator someday.
‘Starting with that, I’m going to get my body back now!’
The demon king looked at the woman stained with shadows just like him.
That body was designed one by one based on the knowledge he understood while digesting humans.
The Demon King isn’t exactly a woman. He is asexual, and strictly speaking, he is not even a creature. Part of the Pandemonium, he is a black hole, a small world that sucks in everything around him.
Making the body into a female body was just taking the optimal shape to handle the [Shadow] Attribute.
I didn’t know why it was here, or what was inside it that was moving its limbs, but it didn’t matter.
‘Eating her will bring her back to her prime. And she eats Seo Seung-hyeon and surpasses her prime.’
In the mood to make her drool if she had a mouth, Casper Lance approached Leah.
As Leah is also the owner of [Shadow], She soon realized the existence of a monster that looked after her.
“······.”
The female warrior, who had been trained through countless experiences, acted immediately without a hint of embarrassment.
Authority [Dark World].
