Chapter 257 – Baal Went Mid-Open
“Damn it!”
I lowered my head to avoid the magic flying at my head, and then spat out a curse.
It is said that he has become much stronger than in his previous life, but it was definitely because Baal was burdensome to deal with.
If he had only used his sword his, he would have been able to subdue him much more easily.
However, he handled swords and magic freely, and I was faced with several embarrassing situations, as if I was dealing with many people even though I was dealing with one person.
“Really, did you beat me?”
“Under? If not, what’s the difference?”
I stopped attacking for a while and answered Baal’s question.
It was pretty annoying to see him look at me in disappointment, but things weren’t going too well.
In fact, I’ve been fortunate enough not to have suffered any fatal injuries.
“How… Did I lose? No matter how you look at it now, you don’t think I’m going to lose, right?”
“Why are you curious about that? You have to experience it yourself.”
I responded to Baal’s words and quickly kicked the floor.
Nebula’s unique skill, Jibo, unfolded, and I burrowed under Baal’s chin in an instant.
I raised my sword to his chin, but Baal quickly reached out and blocked my sword.
Kang-.
The armor that was protecting his arm and the ebony collided, making a loud metallic sound.
“Sir, you’re filthy hard.”
I was halfway through, but I frowned when I saw Baal’s armor his.
At least, since he had picked up ebony, he had at least split his armor his.
“If that’s all, it’s really disappointing.”
“Damn it. Anyway, did you get hit on me?”
I kicked the belly of Baal who was talking to me with a nonchalant expression and threw himself back.
Turning lightly in the air, I unleashed a lightsaber technique toward Baal’s head.
The half-moon-shaped sword flew straight toward Baal, and only then did he swing his sword with a slightly interesting expression and began to cut through my sword.
“If you still have something hidden, bring it out. Warrior.”
Baal, who easily blocked my sword skill, said that to me.
I wanted to spit on his relaxed face his, but in fact, I didn’t have anything else to hide.
“As expected, you are filthy strong. You.”
“… So I have a question How did I lose to you?”
As if he could kill me at any time, Baal relaxed his grip on the sword and said that to me.
I replied with a smile at Baal.
“It’s because my body is less relaxed.”
“What?”
“It is true that I have become stronger than in my previous life. Come to think of it, I’ve never fought so fiercely in this life.”
At my words, Baal’s thick eyebrows his wriggled.
It looked like I was joking, but I was serious.
“A hundred and twenty-five times.”
“What are you talking about all of a sudden?”
“That’s the number of times I was fatally wounded in my last battle with you.”
“…”
“I gave up on counting minor wounds.”
“Are you talking about immortality?”
Baal looked at me with cold eyes and asked.
Instead of answering his question, I immediately grabbed my sword and dug into his arms his.
“Indeed!”
I saw Baal quickly straighten his sword and swing it at my throat.
If I rushed forward, I would be cut by Baal’s sword first rather than the sword touching Baal’s body.
But even so, I recklessly dug into his arms his.
Puck-.
I felt his sword his cut through my arm his.
Still, it was because I wanted to avoid getting the sword stuck in my throat, so I raised my arm to block his sword.
Originally, the place where the arm should be was felt empty, but I smiled nonetheless.
And Baal’s eyes were widening as if he had witnessed something unbelievable.
It was because the ebony had eventually penetrated through the cracks in his armor and lodged himself in it.
“As expected, it’s easier than before.”
I twisted the blade and said that to Baal.
He had only one hand, so he could n’t really use his strength his, but it was pretty good to see Baal’s face contorted with pain.
“There is no such thing as a madman.”
Baal kicked me in the stomach and said so.
Rolling across the floor, I barely managed to get my balance and stand up to look at Baal.
“Is this your fighting style?”
“Oh, I don’t mean to say this shit because I like it too, right?”
I said that to Baal, waving my severed arm his.
The bleeding had already stopped, and the arm his was slowly growing new flesh.
Baal looked at me like that and frowned.
I could n’t help but laugh at his expression as if he was looking at a monster.
“What does a guy who is the equivalent of a Demon Lord look at like that?”
“… Are you sick?
“Are you asking something obvious? Does it really hurt behind you?”
“You look used to that.”
“If you are cornered, what can you do? And did I hold you like this?”
I saw Baal’s expression harden again at my words.
Perhaps, through the conversation just before, he realized why he had lost.
It was.
It was a bit pitiful, but I killed Baal like that.
As well as using high-level swordsmanship, he was also good at magic, and his physical abilities his were abnormally high like a demon lord, and he had piles of morale-level items on top of that.
The only thing I believed in was the power to not die, and that was an accurate judgment.
It’s not about giving up the flesh and cutting the bones.
Even if I just gave him the bones and left scratches on him, I would have benefited.
My bones will grow back soon anyway.
“… Can I win?”
“What? Of course you can’t win.”
“I didn’t say anything to you.”
Baal said that to me and began to ponder something alone.
There was nothing wrong with buying my arm time to recover, so I left him alone.
Because the difference between the speed at which his wounds and mine heal would decide the outcome.
Pop-!
At that moment, I felt a pain that made my mind disappear.
Understanding the situation, Baal nome caught my guard and blew my head off with magic.
Thanks to the magic that penetrated the face of his, one side of the field of vision was completely blown away, but only the mouth was intact.
“Cowardly bastard.”
“Did you do the surprise attack first?”
“… It was, indeed.”
“Oh, really. It looks like a beggar.”
After organizing his thoughts for a while, Baal threw his sword on the floor with an annoyed expression.
I blinked my one remaining eye and looked at Baal at such an unexpected action.
“It seems there was no way I could win in the first place.”
“So you give up?”
“I just don’t like being played in the hands of others.”
I couldn’t hide my absurd expression as I watched Baal collapse on his seat with his arms crossed.
No way, I didn’t expect that the guy who was different from the final boss would do something like this.
“Hey, does this make sense?”
“What makes no sense? No, it makes no sense, isn’t it you who is fine even if you blow your head off? Are you human?”
“Of course you are human.”
I said so, glaring at Baal.
In that moment, I felt that my lost vision was returning.
After confirming my recovery process, Baal’s expression began to change even more bizarre.
“No matter how you look at it, you don’t seem human.”
“Fuck, is that right?”
I shouted at Baal as if I was screaming.
No matter how abnormal my recovery ability is, it was only because of the blessing of the goddess, and not because I was a non-human being.
“Well? Even if you don’t die, no one will fight like you.”
“Shut up, pick up your sword. I told you, I’m busy.”
I gripped my sword and shouted at Baal.
I felt offended to have this conversation with him, but I had no intention of killing him with his arms crossed.
“I’ll give you my neck, if you want. Because I want it to be yours anyway. Instead, let’s talk for a while, hero.”
“… What the hell are you up to?”
I asked Baal, who was willing to lay down his life calmly.
Baal started talking at me, as if he knew I wouldn’t attack him.
“I just want you to hear my thoughts. In the first place, this makes no sense. The fact that you are immortal, and the fact that you are a regressor. No matter how you look at it, this is so unfair.”
“What?”
I didn’t pay much attention to what Baal was talking about, but I could n’t help but listen to his last words.
When I responded, Baal began to reiterate the things he had in mind.
“I have had one doubt ever since I heard that you had returned.”
“… What is that?”
I asked Baal, and Baal looked straight at me and answered.
“Is there really a way for me to win this game?”
It was such an unexpected story that I had no choice but to look at Baal.
As he looked at me like that, he slowly began to tell me what he had been thinking about.
