8. Star of Extinction – 06

It was a battle like a scene from a myth.

There was not a single living creature in this area, and there were only a few places where the land remained intact after being crumbled.

There were only two people standing on the ground with their feet on the ground in a landscape that could be described as a hell.

“Ha, ha, ha, ha…” “

In the sky over there, Cirilla, who is wrapped in a heavenly demon all over her body, looks down at the ground gasping for breath.

A space with a radius of several tens of meters centered on Cirilla was already containing a sense of heterogeneity that could not be said to be that of the material world.

Where she put her hand, her magical energy was so vivid that it was visualized to the naked eye, and the flow alone created a turbid current in her air.

If you only consider the output of your magical power, there is no one to oppose in this material world.

The one who puts omnipotence into his body and brings destruction to everything he touches.

People in the world do not hesitate to call such a being a god.

“Ha, ha, ah… “

However, in order for a mere human to reach a god, a price is required.

Currently, Cirilla was consuming an exponential amount of mana even at this moment in order to maintain her own transcendent body.

She was a Cirilla who could generate her magical power just by inhaling and exhaling her breath, and could harness her natural magical power as if it were her own… Even for her, it was a very daunting task for her to just maintain her current state.

“aaa!”

Cirilla lets out her shrieking scream and waves her hands forward, causing a roar and a huge shockwave to sweep all around her.

“Keuugh!”

Of course, Ilibatus doesn’t treat you lightly either. Her demonic spirits unite to form a single giant sword, which she then swings at her Cirilla!

Quaaang!

The size of the sword is so huge that just by swinging it, wind pressure and huge vacuum waves explode in all directions.

Of course, as if Cirilla wasn’t going to be treated lightly, in a split second she blasted Illivatus with a huge thunderbolt. A thunderbolt of tremendous heat energy that would evaporate just by brushing against any living being!

Cooooo-

However, it doesn’t work on Ilibatus. It may not be the usual Ilavatus, but now he has risen to a higher level at the cost of his own life.

In other words, there were only a few steps left before reaching the realm of God beyond transcendence.

It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that in this state he is the most powerful of the demons currently present in the material world!

“This is it, girl. It would not be insufficient to describe your existence as wonderful in itself, but it is not a complete technology at all.”

At first glance, Ilibatus’ words sounded like compliments, but in reality, they were more like congratulations to others.

He was just praising Cirilla for fighting against him to this extent.

“… Above all, there is no karma in your attacks. What a pity. To handle such power and not even know how to project one’s will and mind. It is impossible to kill me by attacking like that, no matter how hard you try.”

“You don’t decide what I can do!”

Meanwhile, Reiner, who was sprawled on the ground, closed his eyes as he silently watched their fight.

Unfortunately, Ilibatus was right. The current Cirilla could never defeat Illivatus.

I didn’t mean to discuss the dynamics of power. After all, Cirilla, who had activated the Heavenly Demon Syndrome, was a monster that wasn’t far behind when compared to the current Illivatus.

However, this time, Cirilla’s great luck was not very good.

The Illavatus in front of me is a monster who has lived for 500 years, and at the same time, he is so experienced in combat that he managed to save his own life despite facing Sei in his heyday.

If both are equally monsters, the one who knows how far his strength is and skillfully uses it will win the game.

“Bill, uh… eat… “

But this body with no guts doesn’t even think about moving according to his will. The recoil using the brain island caused a greater injury to his body than he expected.

… No, even if his body was intact, what could he do now?

As long as the sword he was holding turned to dust in Illivatus’ hands, there was no way he could attack Illivatus anywhere.

In preparation for such a situation, Thunder Emperor taught me some taijutsu, but even at this moment, he radiates enough firepower to re-draw a map, getting between the two clashing monsters and hitting them with taijutsu. Feeding them was an impossible task no matter how you look at it.

‘Is this how everything ends?’

That was the moment when Reiner was staring into the void with a look of despair.

Uh uh uh-

Suddenly, the [Ghostly Sword] Hanging from his waist vibrates. As if desperately searching for something, or as if longing for something, it vomits a subtle sword spirit.

And then, as he gazed at the scene, doubts crept into Reiner’s eyes.

The [Ghostly Sword] Is one of the items that is close to trash, with zero points as a weapon, except for the fact that the sword has a thunderbolt inside it and that it does not break.

Number of people who played 「Erantia Saga」 Made numerous attempts to find a use for this sword, but in the end, they could not find any usefulness. An entertainment item.

But now, as if the [Sword possessed by demons] Is informing its owner, Reiner, something… It continues to vibrate.

“… Hmm?”

As I turned my gaze to what the [Haunted Sword] Was pointing at, there was something unexpected.

“… Sakyo sword?”

The sword Illivatus had just swung to kill himself with plenty of demonic energy was located within a few steps away from Reiner.

Perhaps, when his body was cut in half by Reiner’s brain island earlier, he couldn’t recover it and fell near him.

Uh uh uh-

As if responding to the sword name that the [Ghostly Sword] Spews out, the Sakyo Sword also shakes off some unknown vibration.

It was like the pain of looking for a lost brother, or the joy of seeing someone you missed after a long time.

“… No way.”

Riner unknowingly approached the sword and grabbed the handle. And at that moment, countless message windows popped up in front of Reiner’s eyes.

[The ‘possessed sword’ faced its own twin sword.]

[The sword sword Karsudell faced his own destiny that was entangled in the law of causality.]

[Sakyo Sword Karsudell recognizes you, the owner of the ‘possessed sword’, as its own temporary owner!]

[The ‘ghosted sword’ will regain its true name as it faces the twin sword, the sword sword Karshdel.]

[Its name is Ctesiphon, the Unrequited Sword. As long as your will is not broken, your body and sword are also inviolable swords that will never be broken.]

– … To destroy the horse.

‘Someone’ whispers in his ear.

No, is it really a whisper? If not, is it the will that dwells within the sword itself?

His world, which was filled with darkness, changes completely.

After a period of 500 years, the Unyielding Sword regained its true name, destroying all darkness and shining again in the hands of its true master.

****

So, the fight between Cirilla and Ilibatus was also coming to an end.

The battle between the two of them, who fought against each other’s existence and caused countless destructions to annihilate each other, was already leaning towards Illivatus.

No, in a sense, it was a very natural result.

While one side can calmly calculate the next move even in battle, the other side is enveloped in a huge murderous intent and only causes indiscriminate destruction to the surroundings, so this must be a very inevitable result.

“… Wonderful. How could a mere human stand up to this much against me now? The existence of you can be said to be more than enough to decorate my end.”

In the last moments of his life, Illivatus murmured as if he was happy to be able to continue the battle with a human with such great power.

However, Cirilla, who was receiving such compliments from him, felt very bleak.

From noble mtl dot com

Not accepted. In the past two months, all the magic she has learned and polished, and all the miracles she draws, are not applicable to that demon.

“aaa!”

But don’t back down. The demon in front of her is the one who harmed her one and only precious person. And the one who would try to take her own precious man, even by burning her own life.

If she doesn’t die here, her precious person will die. If you don’t protect him, you will be killed by that one.

So I’m going to kill you here. Mobilize everything you can now!

Kiriririk-

The two energy bodies in front of Cirilla start to draw a spiral. And when the rotation by the spiral reaches its limit, all the energy from there is directed to one place and turns into a blow that slays the enemy!

“Celestial Wrath!”

In an instant, all lights and sounds lost their meaning. In an instant, too much energy was released, and the space that was supposed to serve as a medium stopped functioning.

“Quaaagh!”

The lower part of the body, which was split in two due to the island of brain just before, is bursting and being torn apart again. Even though Illivatus mobilized all the magic and magic he knew to defend it, it pierced all defenses like a sheet of paper and trampled Illivatus’ machete!

But.

“… This, goddamn b*tch… !”

However, Ilibatus did not die. He is the one who survived 500 years ago from the godless demon who reigned as the nightmare of the demons. Due to the superior demon skills he was born with, he is comparable to the demon king in terms of his vitality.

The ‘Celestial Fury’ sent by Cirilla was obviously a fatal blow to him, but something is still lacking. Killing him still lacks something decisive.

“Ha, ha, uh, ah… “

It wasn’t enough to kill all the low-level demons who followed Illivatus with the Grand Princess, sense the threat of Reiner and fly towards this place at full speed, so I even used the Heavenly Demon God.

The current Cirilla has literally run out of all strength and mana.

Eventually, the state of the Heavenly Demon’s union is lifted, and Cirilla eventually falls to the ground and falls to his knees.

“… Too bad, woman. If your technique had been a little more perfect, it would probably have been mine to die here.”

After burning all of his own demonic energy, the figure of Illivatus, who can now only be seen as something of an indeterminate form.

However, he is a person who has survived in the material world for a whopping 500 years. He and he are the ones who have the most vitality and magic among the demons.

In the end, the victory or defeat of this battle was concluded with the victory of Illivatus.

“… Do, young master… “

Even though he has exhausted all his strength, Cirilla does not beg for his life.

No, rather, I look at it with eyes full of original reading. As if regretting that he couldn’t kill him because his own strength was not enough.

“It’s a pity. If you had been born as a demon, you would have become a greater being than you are now. Even though you were born as a worm-like species, you are shining so dazzlingly that it only makes me feel more sorry for the fragments of your talent.”

But that’s why I have to kill him here and now.

Just like the descendants of Musinma, the woman in front of me was also born with the potential to reach the state of transcendence as a human body.

If only they had reached a slightly higher level before facing him… Their situation might have been completely reversed.

“Goodbye then. By the way, you don’t have to be too lonely. Your master, whom you serve so faithfully, will soon become your companion.”

Illivatus grabs Cirilla’s neck and then uses her hand to break her neck.

One second before Cirilla died at the hands of Illivatus.

“I’m sorry, but I don’t want you to lay your hands on someone else’s woman. Didn’t she learn something like this from her mother, don’t touch other people’s things?”

“… !”

At the sudden voice, Illivatus quickly turned his head.

And even before he turns his head, his body, already in the reflective realm, counters that voice and offers a solution.

‘Cause and effect reversal!’

The space is flipped. The surface of the sky disrupts the world, and the surrounding causes and effects begin to change completely.

All objects that entered this world lost momentum, regardless of the enemy, and eventually returned to the starting line from which they started.

This is the strongest defense technique Illivatus can currently use, a reversal of cause and effect!

Unless someone who has reached the level of transcendence, or someone who can interfere with the causality of space and time like him, breaking through this defense would be close to impossible!

But.

Pajik-

In the moment of time split into innumerable seconds, Illivatus witnessed it.

The sight of the two swords in his hands resonating to protect their master against his causal reversal.

Go against it. Then, it cuts down all beings along its trajectory.

In infinite time and space, it cuts down the surrounding light itself and burns the darkness as if it were going against the water path.

The single sword that the enemy swings at him transcends this space and annihilates the very existence of him located here!

“This, no way, it’s a martial arts-“

Leaving behind Ilibatus’ astonishment, Reiner approached him, turning her body like a top in front of him-

“Thunder Island.”

Poo-Hak-!

The second islet, which was implemented in the form of a stab, pierced Illivatus’ heart with certainty this time.
