85 – Demon Slayer

Jin Shin Advent (眞神降臨)

It refers to a god or a demon breaking through the curtains of the world and appearing in another world. Bondi, all beings exist in the world in which they must exist. This is the causal law of the beginning that even gods and demons cannot go against.

Jin Shin Advent is an act of twisting the causal law of the beginning, and that is why the price of causal law must be paid. Regardless of the level of existence.

If the preparations for Advent are made sure, the cost is not great. At most, it’s about being helpless for a split second (from the point of view of gods and demons).

However, if the causal law is forcibly twisted and descended without proper preparation, a big problem will arise. It is a kind of foul that punctures the world’s setup, and of course the penalty is so great that it cannot be compared to any other act.

If gods and demons are the subjects of such foul play, the price they must pay is ‘renunciation of immortality’.

Although it was temporary, it was a price they never wanted to pay for those who prided themselves on being absolute beings.

For this reason, historically, the frequency of incomplete advents observed in the human world has been very low. This is because the extinction of existence is not something that can be taken lightly like a penalty for betting on a drinking party.

That was a fact that also applied to Saruwa, the demon of oppression, without exception. Far from taking immortality lightly, Saruwa considered it to be his essence.

Isn’t immortality the biggest attribute that separates young and weak humans from demons?

The difference in power between the two beings is also fundamentally due to the infinity and finiteness of life.

The reason why one’s existence is incomparably more valuable than that of a human being is because of its immortality.

Because it was Saruwa like this, he had never cast Incomplete Advent before. No, I never even thought of that.

‘However, things are different now!’

You have to kill it.

You must kill that man.

The obsession that dug into Saruwa’s brain forced him to make the first deviation of a long, long demon student.

Colin Zauss’ body has already disintegrated. The dagger full of demonic spirits swept through it like a snake, and his body looked as if it would collapse at any moment like a piece of rag. To make an incomplete advent through this body is an act of suicide.

However, what Saruwa needed was a very brief moment.

One minute, no, thirty seconds.

If you use true power through Jinshin Advent, you can kill the man in front of you with just that amount of time.

Humans are finite beings.

The proposition that ‘dead people cannot be revived’ was also one of the powerful propositions protected by the causal law in the beginning.

Gu-gu-gu-gu-goo—!

A crack forms in the curtain of the world. In the midst of the distortion accompanied by light and noise, the true spirit of Saruwa appeared. The body of Colin Jauss, who mediated Saruwa’s smuggling, disappears like dust. His body has already done more than it can do.

-Now I can fight on the same table and with the same stake.

Saruwa, the demon of oppression, was a shapeless black mist. If it were a normal human being, he was a being with life, so it was a body in a form that could not be recognized, no, could not be recognized. The silent chapel was enveloped in a black mist, and in the center of the mist glowing red eyes glared at John.

[‘Saruwa, the Demon of Oppression’ stares at you. The devil’s gaze brings disaster and bad luck.]

[All stats decrease by 50% due to the devil’s gaze.]

[Amazing luck happens! Overcome the gaze of the devil whose luck stats have descended incompletely!]

[Bad luck! Good luck and bad luck are like two sides of a coin. All stats increase by 50%.]

Several notification windows appeared in John’s eyes. The stat bonus was an unexpected harvest.

“That’s-!”

Looking at Saruwa’s red eyes, Xenia urinated on her. It was a decent reaction for a human who faced a demon with his bare eyes. Fortunately for her Xenia, Yohan and Saruwa did not pay any attention to her.

“Shadow Chain.”

In a world full of darkness, a chain of pitch-black shadows shoots out of John’s outstretched hand. The chain pulled back the dagger of the ghost that had come out.

The weapon returned to the hand.

Feeling the coldness of the handle of the dagger, Yohan aimed the tip of the blade at Saruwa’s red eyes.

Saruwa, the demon of oppression.

It’s a boss that newbies can easily see where the hit point is. However, Saruwa’s eyes were both his weakness and his weapon.

Ughhhhh!

Mana, like the sea in bad weather, swirls around Saruwa’s eyes. The old sages made a sage called Gyeongcheon-dongji to use at this time.

-Gaaa!!!!

Saruwa’s red eyes are the gathering place for the raging mana. Like light attracted by gravity, the mighty mana flowing through the distorted space gathers at one point.

Saruwa’s eyes were not the final destination. It was very clear that their final journey would end in the space where John had set foot.

Amapo, an extremely simple skill that gathers and projects mana into a single point.

Use the skill you used through Colin Jauss’ body again as Jinsin. Of course, its power is so strong that it is incomparable to the previous one.

An unexpected situation.

However, the pattern of Saruwa, the demon of oppression, is also within the expected range.

The excitement of a situation that has not been met even after thousands of times of play.

However, confidence in the familiar patterns encountered there.

‘This is a game!’

All of John’s senses as a gamer are maximized. The peak of concentration made him feel as if the world stopped. In a world that has slowed down, only a sweet smile decorates the corner of John’s mouth as he faces the evil attendant who is trying to kill him with all his might.

Think of it.

Use your own skills to stand up to Saruwa’s abrasion.

Based on your own experience and senses.

“That will make rice cake.”

John stretches out his hand. Yohan’s skill against Saruwa’s attack with the force of a huge tidal wave was a reliable main weapon.

“Knife shot.”

From noble mtl dot com

A knife made of mana is created in front of John. At the same time, the mouthless Saruwa laughed viciously.

-Yes, I can’t use the same technique twice in a row.

The skill ‘Snake Ending’ that tore Zauss’ body apart

If it came out, Saruwa wouldn’t have let go of the tension, but luckily it wasn’t that skill. It was a lack of mana, or a cooldown, or it was an unsuitable situation to use the skill right away.

Wow!

Saruwa’s hemp, confident of victory, flies towards John. And, Yohan’s knife, with an expression that he would die for fun, flies against Saruwa.

A one-on-one victory where skill meets skill and will meets will.

The skills of humans and demons, who dream of the same result through different processes, collide between them.

Ugh!

As for Sarwa, she was confident. Right now, if you were looking for a reason to win this fight, you could pick three.

The first is your own “Characteristic”

When moving through Colin Zaus’s body, he couldn’t use his [Characteristic]. However, it is possible now that Jinshin descended.

His Attribute is the SS Class Attribute 「Debilitating Poison」

The effect is to lower the power of all attacks against you by up to 99%.

This terribly pragmatic and combative characteristic always guaranteed victory for the adventurous Saruwa.

Here 1v0

The second is the power of the skill itself.

Through Jinsin Advent, it is possible to use the power of the main body, albeit in part. Even if that guy used the same skill he just flew, this one would have the upper hand in terms of power.

The difference between victory and defeat in a fight without skill is, of course, the power of skill.

In that part, I scored another point. This makes it 2-0.

The third is that this space is a black magic circle.

The black magic circle is originally a space created to manifest demons like yourself. In other words, it means that it is the best place for a duel for the devil to step out. If there were only a few additional rituals and procedures, he would have had a full Advent rather than an incomplete Advent as it is now.

Saruwa can receive power through the black magic circle. Even if the fight gets longer and goes into a long battle, the advantage is on your side.

Total score 3-0.

No matter how you think about it, she is a battle she can’t lose.

Yes. However….

-!?

The results that were expected in the head, and which should have been, appear distorted. And, it was a huge distortion.

Kush shush shoot!

John’s knife pierces Saruwa’s abrasion and moves forward without hesitation. It was like watching a salmon going up the river. No, it is waterfalls, not rivers, that salmon climb up.

-Why!?

John laughed even more fiercely at Saruwa’s doubtful admiration. He hit the opponent with a grand slam home run with two outs in the bottom of the ninth, thinking he couldn’t lose.

The bewildered look of such an opponent was the best pleasure for the underdog. If it were Loit Mode in the purple panties, he would have possessed Michael Jackson and did some f*cking tea bagging right away.

‘As expected, fraudulent “Characteristics”…!’

It was John’s 「Characteristic」 That made this result possible.

「Soul of the Butcher」 (Class A)

[Raising your senses, you can activate the ‘Search’ ability and ‘Living Detection’ ability. While the ‘Search’ ability is active, you are immune to ‘Confusion’ and ‘Illusion’ status ailments. While the ‘live detection’ ability is active, the evasion rate is increased by 100%. In addition, you can use the ‘Giant Killing’ skill once during attribute activation. Attribute activation has a cooldown of 24 hours and consumes mana every second.

: Applicable only to bosses. Skills or normal attacks are applied as 100% fixed damage. When the critical hit effect is activated, the power of the attack increases by 100%.]

[Soul of the Butcher], Which is an upgraded copy of Arsha through the EX-class attribute [Transcendence Copy]

Its special skill, , Has the amazing effect of turning skill attacks into fixed damage. Like the name of the skill, it is a skill that can only be used on bosses, but Saruwa, the demon of oppression, was the boss of the original official.

Saruwa’s SS-class attribute [Debilitating Poison] Is an effect that reduces the damage of the dealer to the point of dizziness. However, fixed damage in the legend root damage formula ignores this damage reduction effect.

Although the grades are A and SS, there is a difference of two levels, but the skill design itself is of the highest quality.

Of course, unlike 「Soul of the Butcher」, Which has a cooldown of 24 hours, 「Debilitating Poison」 Is a 「Attribute」 That can be activated at any time. Even considering the relationship between the two traits, it is clear that 「Debilitating Poison」 Is a better trait than 「Slayer’s Soul」.

However, the important point is that 「Soul of the Butcher」 Has one chance.

The first of Saruwa’s sure winning factors, the superiority of her “Character”.

That was a false proposition from the beginning.

Not only that. The second surefire factor he was confident about, the difference in power.

There was also an element that Saruwa didn’t expect.

‘The power of that guy’s first ‘knife shot’ is completely different! Could this be…. Critical Hit?’

Critical blow.

The mystery of the world determined by causality dice.

John’s knife shot produced a critical strike at this exquisite timing. It’s like being favored by fate. Or, fate plays a nasty trick on you.

With the occurrence of the fatal blow, the relationship between the upper and lower powers, which Saruwa was confident about, was also distorted.

Another anomaly following an incident.

According to Saruwa’s calculations, what should be bounced off is rather the knife. Today is already the second miscalculation. The red eyes of Saruwa, who was sure of a complete victory, fluctuated greatly.

Shhh!

The knife that pierced the hemp was stuck in Saruwa’s eyes. A thousand, ten thousand pieces of body tearing pain runs through the knife. Because of Jinshin Advent, the pain felt was much more vivid.

-Quaaa!

I run out of power. Yohan’s knife, enhanced with Giant Killing and Critical Hit effects, cuts through Saruwa. Even with the black magic circle, her stamina runs out to the point where she can’t recover.

In the worst case, it was Saruwa who assumed a long-term battle, but he realized it and said it. A long-term battle is meaningless only when they are terribly pushed back in such a head-on battle.

The three proofs of victory that were originally thought to be nothing more than cruel doubles to defeat. Realizing that fact was too late, like the regrets of the humans Saruwa had ridiculed countless times.

“hahahaha. ‘Critical strike stacking’. It is also a scam.”

John takes a step, step by step, toward Sarwa, who is astonished. With a smile like a death god on his lips.

Saruwa felt afraid. Is she afraid of humans?

It is a humiliating situation. However, it was a very natural sensation.

‘In this state…. I really die!’

Death taking strides.

The John reflected in Saruwa’s eyes was literally the embodiment of death. Is this really the power of the abominable god worshiped by the author?

It was hard for Saruwa to fathom how many coincidences were involved in this fight. If this wasn’t an incomplete descent, if the opponent didn’t have an advantage in [Characteristics], No, if only the critical hit didn’t happen at the last moment.

Surely, the winner of this fight would be himself.

If even one of those many coincidences was on your side.

If the dice of the hateful law of causality hadn’t favored him….

No, wait.

Thinking about it again, it makes no sense.

Can such ridiculous coincidences happen over and over again?

Has there ever been a time since the creation of the universe that the dice of causality favored individuals?

When a ray of suspicion passes Saruwa’s thoughts, another doubt arises.

Maybe.

It’s a crazy idea, but it’s really possible.

It wasn’t the dice of causality that created the current result.

This might be the man.

Creepy!

I get goosebumps.

Saruwa couldn’t help but shudder at the sight of that man who seemed to be holding the key to fate. It was because the miserable feeling of being turned into a toy of fate swept through his mind.

Smile!

Saruwa instinctively recognized Yohan’s bright smile. That the present reality is by no means a twisted world line caused by Accident.

-You are not from the Sun Church! More than that god! Perhaps even more than that hideous god…

Quick!

Before Saruwa could properly finish her words, John’s knife completely pierced his eyes. There was no need to let the other person say useless things.

[Destroyed Saruwa, the demon of oppression!]

[You have accomplished a brilliant feat that will go down in history! Your heroic story will be recorded in a new nickname!]

[Obtained the nickname ‘Demon Slayer’!]
