Maxed Out Leveling Novel

Chapter 179

64. Downfall (3)

neither fast nor slow It was a unique tone of speaking, one letter at a time, one letter at a time. Thanks to this, although the volume itself was as low as a whisper, it was not difficult to understand.

Convinced that he wasn’t listening, Naznel cautiously opened his mouth.

“Who are you?”

The reason why he didn’t treat him like his usual personality was because of the peculiarity of his voice. Along with a divine feeling that could not be approached, an unknown longing-like emotion fluctuated.

At least, she was able to instinctively realize that she was something that could not be taken lightly. I don’t know if it’s an ally, but I don’t think it’s an enemy either.

That moment.

Suddenly, her vision was blurry as her eyes spun round and round.

“uh?”

Confused, Naznel struggled, but to no avail. He suddenly lost consciousness, which had been darkened as if he was falling into a state of sleep.

When he came to his senses, he was swimming in a pitch black space.

Looking around him, up, down, left and right, it was all dark. He couldn’t tell if he was floating in the air, submerged in water, or stepping on the ground.

When Naznel is about to go into a state of panic due to an unexpected situation.

[If you had a level enough to recognize me alone, there would be no need for this… No, I wouldn’t have come to this situation in the first place. I don’t have much time, so don’t talk for a long time.]

At just the right time, the voice from earlier was heard. He still had no idea where it was coming from.

“Who are you?”

[Who do you think it will be?]

Instead of an answer, a question came back. The gentleman who had no time sat down joking around. Naznel’s brow furrowed slightly.

“I didn’t ask because I didn’t know.”

[You don’t know. It’s you who wanted me, so how can you not know? If everything that made up you came from me.]

It was like a foreshadowing.

But on the contrary, such a sweet answer made it possible to confirm the identity of the other person.

A heavy presence that cannot be tampered with. A communication method that echoes directly in the brain like telepathy, but the direction in which it was sent is completely unknown. A way of talking in vain.

Who has the power to bring the Demon King to such an unknown place?

“you… Are you drinking?”

Naznel asked suspiciously.

[I saw you right, my descendants.]

The voice replied as if lamenting.

[How contradictory it is that the only child who can hear me is you who do not believe in me. Now that we’ve reached it, can we just avoid the worst situation?]

“It doesn’t look like it’s ever going to get any worse. Are you going to come and intervene?”

There are demons who deal with powers that are clearly different from ordinary demons, so there is no demon who denies the existence of demons who say they give you protection.

But acknowledging existence and having faith are two different things. There weren’t many demons who worshiped demons as seriously and devoutly as humans believe in religion. It would be more accurate to say that there are far more demons living without even paying attention.

Naznel was also a typical demon belonging to the latter. Even though there were as many demons talking to him, his answer was quite sullen. Even though he knew he was drunk, he couldn’t help but say respectful words.

[Are you saying you should have intervened beforehand?]

“Aren’t you looking at the situation? All the demon lords who received protection from the five demons were smashed. I don’t know if you’re going to give me new protection now, but if that happens, what will change?”

[He’s a brash guy.]

Said the drink as if it was fun.

[God does not intervene in the underworld. No, it would be more accurate to say that he cannot intervene at will. Did their gods appear and restrain you when you exterminated the dragon blood?]

“that… … .”

[Immortals are not to act in the realm of mortals. The world doesn’t allow it. Just by choosing an apostle and granting them blessings, he intervened quite a bit.]“Then why do you want to intervene now?”

[If I told you that I couldn’t resist your resentment for looking for us, would that be the answer?]

“… Did I want it?”

I don’t think it’s ever been like that, but God wouldn’t lie about something like this. Was he so desperate? To the extent that he unconsciously wished for salvation from a god he did not believe in.

[Originally, there is no reason to answer no matter how earnestly you wished for it, but this is an exceptional situation. It’s the guy who broke the unwritten rule, so there’s no reason for us to keep the principle until the end.]

“Yes? Is it an unwritten rule?”

[Didn’t you tell me? Immortals must not invade the realm of mortals. It has trampled the underworld by using the peculiarity that it has crossed the dimension.]

“Well, then that person… Are you saying he’s a god and not a human?”

Naznell, who barely understood the demon’s words, opened his mouth wide.

He thought it was nonsense, but at the same time he thought that it would make sense.

It is a monster that won the battle with six demon kings in one place. That absurd strength can only be explained by God.

[He is a god, but an imperfect god. Our only misjudgment was that we thought we could overcome imperfection with your own strength alone. He has just found a way out of his imperfection and has come up with his own supplementary measures.]

I don’t know exactly what kind of trick he used, but he increased the amount of energy he thought had a limit. Originally, he had drawn a picture of him falling under the pincer attacks of demons and demon kings while consuming his power while fighting countless demons, but it was wrong.

[But now it is evident that he has exhausted much of his power, especially when dealing with his child of slaughter. Now is the right time to kill him.]

“that… Is that so?”

Naznel asked tremblingly.

He honestly didn’t look very tired, though. No, even if he said he was really tired, it seemed that even one Demon King could easily cook.

[Even so, of course, immortals are immortals. It will still be a difficult opponent for you. You don’t have to deal with him.]

The demon laughed lowly.

[All we need is time.]

“If time… … .”

That was then.

My clear consciousness began to fade as if dragged into this dark space. It was all dark and I couldn’t see anything, but I could feel the strangely dizzy feeling of my vision.

[Unfortunately, it seems that time has run out here.]

Still, hearing worked normally. No, isn’t that what you’re hearing through your ears? Anyway, Naznel could still hear the demon’s voice.

The last voice echoed in his mind as he was being dragged from the boundless abyss toward the outside world.

[What you need to do now is… … .]

* * *

Cha Shin Hyeon was silently watching Naznel, who seemed to be muttering something but stopped blankly.

Since the demon lords were cut out one after another, it is understandable that their souls were half gone. I don’t know what to do, so I may be stuck.

Of course, Cha Shin Hyeon isn’t kind enough to wait patiently for someone who is blind to come to his senses. In fact, most of the enemies who saw his inaction were bound to fall into a state of panic, and it is convenient and good to cut through the enemy without much effort at that time.

The reason he’s staying is because it was more important to take care of his own body than to kill the Demon King who could kill him at any time anyway.

“Ahhh… … .”

As the Demon Lord Spirit of Duraus lost its power and was slowly dismantling, the natural spirit finally began to circulate between the open spaces. Instead of the unpleasant feeling of magic (魔气), the refreshing spirit (精气) followed the inhalation and filled the lungs.

The natural energy was absorbed again into the body, which had deliberately exhausted all the energy and filled only the pre-psychic powers, and it was gradually converted into aerodynamics. It was the energy of the Cheonjo Muwon Deep Gong, which was his basis, but of course there is no need to use the Sim method. Only by establishing the will, the intermediate process was skipped and proceeded on its own.

‘It was close.’

It may seem like an easy win, but in the match against Duraus, he put all his energy into it. No, the pre-marriage power was stronger than blood luck, so in the clash of the two powers, it was easy to win, but the circumstances were not so simple.

In order to use it sparingly, I used it by mixing it with my power, but there were so many demon kings. The ratio of premarital power gradually increased as we went back, and in the end, we fought only with premarital power. It was also used to heal wounds.

As a result, the remaining pre-marital power now is the perfect job. About 10% of the usual.

If the fight with Duraus had been longer, it would have been difficult. It could have been because of a lack of quantity even though it was ahead in quality. That’s what it meant to say it wasn’t an easy win.

Of course, even now, he was recovering step by step in real time, but the pace was not fast. If the speed had been satisfactory, there would have been no need to worry about the lack of premarital power in the first place.

‘First of all, the work force.’

Fortunately, there was only one demon king left, Naznel. There were a lot of demon spirits left, but they were inferior to the demon king, and they were able to inflict damage with only their aggression. No matter how much power is used, it does not dry out.

The more he rests, the more his premonition and stamina will recover, so he didn’t have to move first. You just have to see how your opponent is coming out and act accordingly.

Whew.

A desolate wind blew across the silent battlefield.

There was still a fierce battle between dragons and intermediate demons behind the fortress, but it was quiet here.

Naznel is blank, Cha Shin Hyeon is still, and the demons are hardened. A strange confrontation ensued for a few minutes.

Eventually, Naznel’s eyes returned to normal.

He took out a new communication crystal ball from subspace and gave the order without hesitation.

“He was very tired. A fortress attack leaves only a minimum number of equal numbers. The rest are all yarn assistants (遠射補助). Close combat is not allowed. Never allow him access!”

The demon spirits who were not under Naznel’s subordinates did not seem very willing, but they faithfully followed his orders. If it was an order to rush in, we should seriously consider whether to follow it, but the order to attack only from afar was quite reasonable thanks to it.

Two hundred demons attacked the fortress, inflicting about 30 casualties. 20 people fell into the fortress attack team, and the remaining 150 formed the formation.

It was not an improvised operation, so everyone moved quickly. As they surrounded all the defenses with a wide distance, Cha Shin Hyeon was trapped in a camp of demons.

Originally, it was a plan to attack Cha Shin Hyeon, who was left alone by assisting the demon kings from a distance after capturing the fortress in a short time. No one thought that the demon lords would all die first.

“Attack on!”

“Group 1, attack!”

With the command, the demons scattered and occupied the ten directions began to shoot magic sequentially.

Aww!

Hundreds of blades of the spinning wind poured into the center of the jinn. Each of them had the power to float lightly, like intermediate demons.

Don’t fall for it!

Dozens of condensed brainballs followed. The magic of thoroughly destroying the limited space was more effective in the current situation. After all, only one person in the middle of Jin was the target.

Cha Shin Hyeon did not move.

Standing still, he raised his self-defense force. The sphere-shaped Ganggi with a radius of 5 meters perfectly protected the whole body.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

The magic centered on wind and lightning struck the self-defense force like crazy. Thunder and lightning roared, tormenting the eyes and ears.

“Group 4, attack!”

“Keep shooting! Do not rest!”

The Demon Spirit must be weak compared to the Demon King, but if you simply compare the firepower, it did not run very well. The magic of 150 people shooting was not even compared to the work of several demon kings.

Whoops! Whoa, whoa, whoa! Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

Still, Cha Shin Hyeon did not move.

They simply applied a natural sword and took the form of a shield and placed an extra layer of wall on the outside of the self-defense force. Naturally, the defense got stronger.

The demons who were not aware of it were very excited.

“I must have been tired because I couldn’t move!”

“It won’t last long!”

When Cha Shin Hyeon was obscured by the magical bombardment they had fired, they gained confidence.

Cha Shin Hyeon, who is fully aware of the circumstances outside, grinned.

“Are you tired?”

It seemed that he had already forgotten what happened to Duraus, who was ignorantly pushing him with force.

Cha Shin Hyeon, who has fully absorbed the external energy more than the aerodynamic power consumed for defense, and recovered some aggression, finished his calculations. Considering the consumption and recovery of energy when attacking, it was a good time to move slowly.Cha Shin Hyeon, who remembered the place in his head, disappeared from the place.

Pot!

It didn’t move at high speed, but rather jumped over space. It was not a line movement, but a point movement, so no matter how strict the frame was, it could not be restrained. As long as you don’t spread a space movement obstruction.

Cha Shin Hyeon appeared in the farthest sky, higher than the magical spirit that was at the top.

“100 million?!”

By the time I noticed the presence one step late, Cha Shin Hyeon’s sword had already been pierced. The two pieces of the magical spirit were spewing blood like a waterfall.

“Up, up!”

“what?”

The demons who knew only long-distance space movement through magic and could not imagine short-distance space leap were greatly puzzled.

Still, two more people died, so everyone came to their senses. The demons in the sky left their seats and changed their formation, while the demons below fired their magic towards the sky.

Now that the power has been restored as much as it needs, there is no need to give it any more.

shhh!

Cha Shin Hyeon, who immediately followed behind the departing demon, swung his sword without mercy.

“Great!”

The magical spirit whose back was split screamed and fell.

Without even looking at him, Cha Shin Hyeon drew his sword crosswise. Instead of swordsmanship or swordsmanship, the blooming deepsword cut through space with the power of cutting.

Shh!

It was only when the demon king was around that the deep sword could not exert its absolute power, but the lower level demons did not have enough willpower to resist. All five demons caught in the trajectory had their waists cut off.

“I told you not to approach me!”

“You think I’m stuck?!”

The spirits that were horribly scattered flew out in all directions.

Cha Shin Hyeon’s sword was ruthlessly swung against their back.

Scratch!

Once the goal was reached, nothing was of no use. Whether fighting or running, it took no more than one unit to deal with.

It didn’t take long before more than 30 demon spirits became divorced. Even if the tiger hunted the rabbit, it seemed less overwhelming than this.

“Such crazy… … .”

The fear that had barely been suppressed rose again. What do you do when you attack from afar? I can’t stop sticking!

At that time, a very grateful command was given to the demons.

“Stop leaving! Get back to the base!”

I don’t know what would change if I ran away there, but it was good to be able to avoid it for now. As soon as Naznell’s words fell, the demons began to move.

“Where are they going to run away?”

Cha Shin Hyeon’s body moved.

He easily caught up with the nearest demon and slashed his sword straight.

“Huh?”

No, I was going to drop it.

Cha Shin Hyeon, who sensed the vicious energy coming from the side, corrected the trajectory of the sword attack.

Aww!

Although he blocked it without much damage, Cha Shin Hyeon’s eyebrows twitched, recognizing the kind of energy that collided with the aerodynamics.

“… Scared?”

The protection of the demon god he first encountered.

Rhodiac’s fears were burning his powers.
