20 – Nightfall – Hidden Route (8)

As a hero, Eugene slaughtered all enemies, including all demons, the four kings who led them, and the demon king over a period of 20 years.

But even if he succeeded in killing them, it certainly did not mean that Eugene was stronger than them.

For example, among the four heavenly kings, Kazan, the tyranny king, and Atram, the titan king, possessed strength that was incomparable to that of Eugene.

Dekels, the Immortal King, had practically infinite mana accumulated over a long period of time. The King of Death, Cardenak, was also a master of martial arts that far surpassed the swordsmanship he had honed for 20 years.

When he reached the Demon King, he was a near-perfect existence with nothing inferior to Eugene.

However, Eugene won the battle against them, and in the end killed them.

Combat is like that.

No matter how strong you are, no matter how superior your physique is, no matter how superior your skills are.

All of that doesn’t guarantee victory in battle.

There is only one factor that brings victory in battle, and it is whether you can fully utilize what you have at the right moment.

And in that respect, Eugene could be said to be superior to anyone else in the world.

Because in the last 20 years, in bloody battles where he risked his life, he has not been defeated once.

– Uh… What?

– It seems that the atmosphere has somehow changed from before.

– Am I the only one feeling something weird? Am I the only one weird here???

– Monga… Monga is happening… A monga that cannot be expressed in words…

Viewers also blinked their eyes as they watched the situation unfolding in front of their eyes.

From the moment Eugene declared that he would finish it in one minute, everything changed.

From the outside, I don’t feel much difference from the previous battle.

As usual, the ruler attacks Eugene by emitting an uncountable number of tentacles, and Eugene swings the holy sword wrapped in golden light to cut off the tentacles.

However, the tentacle of the ruler is regenerated as if it were natural, and eventually everything returns to the starting point.

In the end, everything went back the same as before, nothing changed.

But there was only one difference.

Until now, Eugene was in a hurry to defend against the ruler, but the current Eugene was trying to ‘hunt’ the ruler rather than defending itself.

And that trivial, if insignificant, difference was becoming a decisive factor in tilting the pendulum to Eugene’s side at this moment.

‘Until a while ago, the physical difference between us was so great that we couldn’t actively attack.’

However, it is different with the present Eugene, who obtained enormous power in exchange for his body transforming into something other than human.

Now, he didn’t have to dodge the brutal tentacle attack from the ruler.

Before the tentacles touched his body, it was as simple as slicing through them.

[Cheeky-!]

At Eugene’s appearance, the ruler seemed genuinely angry and stretched out dozens of tentacles in all directions at the same time, but that kind of attack couldn’t even reach him anymore.

Eugene’s body had already surpassed human speed a long time ago, and now it was only visible as a golden flash.

The golden flash lightly slips through the gaps in the tentacles, as if mocking the ruler’s attack, and then shatters the tentacles into hundreds of pieces.

[Kuaaa-!]

No matter how infinitely regenerated it is, dozens of tentacles are lost at once, so the ‘ruler’ sees them and howls loudly.

And taking advantage of the ‘ruler”s reeling gap, Eugene begins to pour an extremely one-sided offensive once again.

Eugene’s fight had already reached a point where it could no longer be called a ‘battle’.

It wasn’t a battle, it was violence.

The ruthless and mighty violence itself, the one-sided action of the strong against the weak!

– Crazy;; It really gives me goosebumps hahahahaha Even though there is a foreignization buff, does it make sense to fight head-on with the ruler hahahaha

– If things go on like this, won’t it be very impossible to win?

– But now the time limit is 30 seconds… It is impossible to finish it in 30 seconds even with Somajwa

– But why are you only attacking tentacles? Isn’t it necessary to find the heart as Yuria Nunna advised?

– How can you find a heart in 30 seconds when the ruler is so big;; This was a fight that couldn’t be won from the start

At the viewers’ opinions, Eugene shook her head and opened her mouth.

“No, I roughly figured out where the enemy’s heart is. So it’s not impossible to finish it in 30 seconds.”

– Yes???

– What???

– Does that make sense? How are you going to find your heart? There were no clues or anything?

“There was a clue. Didn’t Yuria hint that the reason why the ruler can regenerate tentacles indefinitely is because of the mana supplied from the heart?”

From noble mtl dot com

Hearing those words from Yuria, Eugene thought.

If the heart is the source of the ruler’s regenerating tentacles, it’s highly likely that the regeneration speed of places close to and far from the heart will also be different.

This was the reason why he didn’t stop attacking even though he was well aware of the fact that the tentacles regenerated endlessly until now.

To look at the speed at which the tentacles located in each part are regenerated, and guess where the heart is roughly located!

Of course, it was never easy to figure out such a thing in a fierce battle, but after borrowing the power of ‘combat foreknowledge’, he succeeded in deriving the exact location.

‘From the center of the ruler at 2 o’clock, the distance is 130 meters to the right and 70 meters upward.’

With this, he obtained all the crucial pieces necessary for his victory.

The only thing left now is to claim victory with your own two hands!

‘Time remaining, 10 seconds.’

Run.

This time, Eugene rushed forward, focusing everything on evasion rather than attack, and was able to land on top of the part where the heart was supposed to be.

‘Five seconds from now.’

Until now, the endlessly regenerating tentacles were the problem, but the ruler’s body itself wasn’t that hard.

So, if you focus your strength on these two arms, it should be possible to pierce through all the outer shells and even cut through the heart in one blow!

Just like that, the moment Eugene raised the holy sword and tried to end everything, his face turned hard.

‘… sh*t. I didn’t expect this.’

That part surrounding the heart is hard enough to remind one of steel.

Anyway, the ruler seemed to have prepared his own defenses, probably because it was the part that surrounded the vital point called the heart.

Of course, if you take your time and hit it multiple times, you should be able to break that defense.

Unfortunately, however, he now has only 5 seconds left!

On the other hand, Eugene has only one chance to wield his sword.

And with a single sword, you have to pierce that steel-like defense, cut out the whole part, and crush the heart.

‘Is that possible?’

Originally, this is impossible. It is not permitted for humans to cause such extensive destruction with only one sword.

However, Eugene, the hero of another world, can do it.

If it’s anything like transcending human limits as a mere human body, it’s nothing to Eugene!

‘Four seconds.’

Decisions are made in an instant.

As if all of a sudden, Eugene changed the position he was holding the sword in.

Even Eugene, who had swung his sword without any hesitation until now, had no choice but to fire this blow very carefully.

Because he has wielded a sword based on countless experiences accumulated over the past 20 years on the battlefield.

This is not a sword derived from his experience, but the essence of a sword that has been honed over hundreds of years to cut down demons.

‘Yam Demon Sword.’

A swordsmanship created out of a foolish idea to subdue all demons in the world as a mere human body and save all of humanity in the end.

Although the founder of this swordsmanship died without fulfilling his wish, this swordsmanship was passed on to Eugene through several successors.

He finally fulfilled that wish by slaughtering the demon king.

The yam sword is as powerful as it is a sword made to slaughter demons with a human body, but the recoil is also extreme.

It is impossible to unleash a yam sword with a body that lacks even a handful of mana.

But Eugene has a strong will.

If you have the support of your will, you should be able to overcome the recoil of the yam sword and imitate it!

‘Two seconds.’

I don’t even think about the stupidity of whether I can make it or if I will fail.

Intention is the power that changes the law after the user’s belief has distorted reality itself.

Miracle never comes to those who do not believe in themselves!

The next moment, Eugene’s sword moved like an illusion.

Yamma Sword, the first sword.

“New Moon.”

As Eugene swings his sword, a faint solid line is drawn in the air.

So small and faint, it’s a thin solid line that you can’t see unless you pay close attention.

However, the moment the solid line touched the ‘ruler’, the space itself was cut away like a lie, and at the same time, the ruler’s body was also split in half.

[Oh oh oh-!]

The ruler howls loudly at the pain of his body being split in half.

[Impossible. How can a mere human be able to cut down chaos itself without possessing any protection or Noble Phantasm!]

But Eugene’s ears couldn’t hear that kind of scream.

I see.

A small jewel reminiscent of a ruby was shining through the cracks in the body that had been split in half.

That is the ruler’s heart.

It is the source of overwhelming magic reminiscent of infinity, and at the same time the source of life itself!

Even though Eugene stepped forward and held his heart in his hand, the ‘ruler’ did not take any action.

[hahahahaha, is that so? Are you trying to kill me Were you truly the end of this body… ]

Because everyone in this room knew.

The fact that his heart had already been cut and split by Eugene’s sword.

[O human being who cut me down. What do you wish for And you, what did you cut this body for?]

To break Arkham’s nightmare.

For the future of mankind.

He could have spit out all kinds of gaudy sounds if he had his heart, but Eugene calmly speaks his mind.

“To live. Because I didn’t want to die here.”

[I see… It is said that mortals have wisdom that can only be gained because they are mortals, so that was true.]

The ‘ruler’ slowly closes his eyes.

[O mortal… Beware of evil spirits… He is the one who can be said to be the source of all these nightmares… No problem can be solved without jumping over him… ]

Damn it.

From the heart of the ruler, which shone like a jewel, the sound of something splitting can be heard.

[Death by a tiny being… That doesn’t seem too bad… ]

At the same time, the body of the ‘ruler’ fell helplessly.

Zeuong-!

The heart Eugene was holding was also completely shattered.

It was the end of a long, long battle.
