ALL NOVEL Chapter 211
Once upon a time, it was said that the Moon Goddess created the world.
In myths, there are always beings that oppose the gods, often appearing as ‘demons’ or ‘giants.’
If there are adversaries of the gods in mythology, they are the two beings right before us.
Boom!!
Every time swords clash, it creates a sound of destruction.
Every time the Demon Lord’s twin swords and the Hero’s great sword collide, mana scatters into the surroundings.
“Ahhh!”
“Run for your lives!!”
Everyone began to flee outside the Realm.
The Realm of Leberced had become the battlefield of the Hero and the Demon Lord, two giants.
Thud!
The Demon Lord staggered for a moment, retreating a step back.
A sound of crunching echoed from below, but the Demon Lord prioritized regaining stance over those trampled beneath.
Swish!!
The great sword was swung powerfully sideways.
Satan barely managed to deflect the Hero’s sword by raising his twin swords in a cross.
[Ugh! How…!!]
[Just because you unite three does not mean you can necessarily defeat the others.]
Clang!
The Hero’s great sword began to push back the Demon Lord’s twin swords.
[Demon Lord. No matter how many holy swords you gather, it’s pointless. You only subjugated the holy sword by force; you haven’t truly awakened its power.]
[You, you bastard…! Hahaha! Foolish one! How could I give hints to my enemy? How stupid are heroes?!]
The Demon Lord’s laughter echoed all around.
[If I awaken that power now, what’s to stop me?!]
[No. You cannot. Because…]
Clang.
The Hero, the giant of light, raised his great sword high.
[There’s no reason for me to tell you.]
Boom!!
With a loud crash, the Hero swung the great sword down.
The Demon Lord attempted to block the great sword with his crossed twin swords, but the weight of the Hero’s sword was stronger than the Demon Lord’s power.
[How is this…!]
[It’s a difference in output.]
[W-what…!]
[What I’m saying is that we have more strength than you. And.]
Boom!
The Hero pressed his hand against the back of the great sword.
He gripped the hilt tightly and pushed the sword forward, extending the blade toward the Demon Lord.
[It must be frustrating, huh? I won’t give you the answers you seek.]
[Krahhh!!]
The twin swords of the Demon Lord ignited with the flames of Gehenna.
With a massive release of mana, the Demon Lord flicked his crossed swords upwards.
[I won’t be outdone in power!]
Grabbing hold of the sliding twin swords once again, the Demon Lord began to thrust his sword forward.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Each step forward and thrust shook the entire Realm.
As the heavy Demon God advanced, the ground shook, causing both humans and demons to lose their footing and tumble.
[I am the Demon Lord! I am Satan! I shouldn’t be pushed back like this by some suddenly appeared loser!]
[I have no obligation to consider your situation.]
The rushed and furious Demon Lord.
The Hero calmly wielded his sword.
Both giants were merely matching powers against each other, but their movements were slow, easily encompassing the motions of humans.
[I am! Three times stronger than you!!]
[That’s the power you forcefully took from the holy sword. Even that won’t work on me.]
[Shut up! You filthy hero!!]
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The Demon Lord’s relentless onslaught began.
Satan pressed the Hero hard with his twin swords, while the Hero raised the face of the great sword to block the onslaught.
Whoosh.
The flames of Gehenna brushed against the giant.
The Golden Wind flowed from the giant’s body, dispersing the flames of Gehenna into the air.
Swoosh.
A shadowy hand stretched from the ground and grabbed the giant’s foot.
Every time the Hero took a big step, the surrounding wind pressure pushed the shadows back.
Crash!
Sharp spikes began to sprout up where the light giant tried to step.
The Hero slightly twisted his foot and stepped down with one leg, bending low next to the spikes.
[Is that the end of your attack?]
[You bastard!]
[Then now it’s my turn!]
The Hero jumped high into the air.
At that moment, the heavy, massive body leaped upwards, and everyone instinctively sensed what would happen next.
“Watch out for the earthquake!!”
The ground is about to rumble-!
[I will pierce the earth!]
Boom!!
Utilizing his own weight, the Hero swung the great sword downwards powerfully.
With that immense mana explosion, Satan’s feet sunk down, and the Realm began to tremble again.
“Aaaah!”
“The, the ground is cracking! Be careful!!”
“Whoa!!”
In the face of a great catastrophe shaking the entire Realm, humans and demons alike were merely insignificant beings.
They struggled to escape from the giants’ battle, but those struggles were minuscule movements.
However.
[Where do you think you’re going?]
Crash!
The moment the Hero thrust the great sword into the ground, a Golden Wind surged, engulfing the people.
“Uu, Uuuaah!!”
“S-save me…huh?!”
“The wind… it’s guiding me!!”
Those carried off by the wind began to realize one by one that they were being swept away from the demons toward somewhere else.
“Swim!”
“What do you mean swim?!”
“Idiot! This wind is like a wave! Just go with the flow!”
“What nonsense, Aaaah!!”
Instead, several people turned their backs to the wind and, using it from behind, escaped the Realm even faster.
“D-Demon Lord!!”
“We’re!!”
Even amidst battle, the Hero was saving people.
But demons either fell into the cracking ground or leapt into the whirlpool, trying to steal the Golden Wind.
“Kyahhh!!”
The demons were torn apart by the wind.
The Golden Wind allowed no one who was imbued with magic to ride its currents, and the demons were either ripped to shreds or plunged into the gaps in the ground.
[It’s fine to die! If I win, I’ll offer all humans in this realm as sacrifices and resurrect you as stronger beings!]
“Demon Lord!!”
[You say the soul vanishes if killed by the holy sword? Nonsense! Don’t worry! Trust this Satan! Trust your Demon King!!]
Whoosh.
An orange pillar of fire arose from Satan’s center.
[Hah! The Demon God! It turns out that fighting directly myself was the right choice!]
Clank!
[I will fight with my soul on the line! If I can’t win here, I won’t be able to win in the Intermediate Realm!]
Satan, who had emerged from within the Demon God’s body, fluttered his wings and took to the skies.
[Flames of Gehenna! Darkness of the Demon World! Land of Purgatory! Gather and become a singular power!]
Whoosh.
[I, Sataniel, am here!!]
Once, with the eruption of a vast flame, Satan’s appearance transformed.
[…To reclaim this form after using the power of the holy sword.]
Flap.
A black coat of a size similar to that of the light giant.
The muscular giant, with thirteen black wings flapping behind him, wore a dark suit.
[……What is this?]
[Aha. The gamble succeeded. This, indeed, can be called my true form.]
His head was that of a twisted ram, but looking closely revealed a hollowed skull filled with emptiness.
[Corrupted…Angel?]
[I am not a Fallen Angel. I may have once been an angel, but I am the first Devil transformed by the Demon God.]
A silhouette visible but lacking distinct contours, that was a man.
[Sataniel.]
Whoosh.
Sataniel’s hands ignited with orange flames.
[How foolish, Hero.]
The flames began to blaze like gloves fitted onto his fists rather than transforming into weapons.
[My mentor once told me: If an opponent transforms to grow stronger, take care of them before they change.]
[That resonates with me. My master told me the same thing. Letting the opponent grow stronger is foolish. But.]
Clang.
[If you can surely win, show me the difference in ability. That’s what they said.]
[You’re quite remarkable. I completely agree.]
The light giant also switched weapons.
[Are you trying to lure me into a fistfight, saying men use their fists? How unfortunate.]
The Golden great sword disappeared, and the Hero held a spear of the same length as his body.
[Don’t call it cowardly. If you have complaints, you should also pick up dual swords like earlier.]
[You foolish one. The reason I took my fists over my many weapons is.]
Satan lightly thrust his fist forward.
[Because this is the strongest!]
Swishhh!
[Ugh?!]
A speed so fast that the Hero could barely manage to block.
He narrowly defended against the punch with the spear, but the impact caused the spear tip to shake violently from the weight of the Demon Lord’s blow.
[Human. Is it heavy?]
[…….]
[It should be heavy. This fist holds the wishes of the demon race.]
[The wishes of the demon race?]
[Yes. That is….]
The Demon Lord shifted his fist over his shoulder again.
[There’s no reason to tell you!!!]
Boom!!
The spear shaft took a straight punch.
Soon, the Demon Lord twisted his body and raised his other fist from below upwards.
[If you want to know, fight and seize it with power!]
[That’s music to my ears!]
The Hero stepped back, extending his leg wide and swinging the spear down.
Fwhoooooooom!
The spear tip grazed over the Demon Lord’s head.
The Demon Lord leaned back to evade the blow and then shifted his weight to pull his elbow back.
[Shallow!]
At the moment he leaned down to thrust forward.
[……!!]
The Hero forcibly stopped the Golden spear that was thrust towards Satan.
He tugged the spear’s tip towards himself, aiming the end of it toward Satan’s gut.
[…The spear.]
[Waahhh!!]
The Hero aimed towards the Demon Lord’s heart.
The Demon Lord aimed towards the Hero’s heart.
Their weapons extended toward targeting each other’s hearts.
Boom.
The sound of mana tearing filled the air as they collided.
[Not bad, you’ve improved. Simultaneously against each other.]
[…You’re strong, Demon Lord.]
Both the Hero and the Demon Lord had their weapons pierced through each other’s bodies.
The Golden spear pierced the Demon Lord’s chest, while the Demon Lord’s fist, engulfed in orange flames, pierced through the Hero’s chest.
Fizz.
The bodies of the giants began to turn to light and fade away.
[Demon Lord.]
[Hero.]
[Come forth.]
[This cannot be the end!]
Fizz.
As the bodies of the two giants crumbled into powder and fell back,
“Come forth, wind!”
“Burn, flames of hell!”
Two figures sprang forth from the hearts of the two giants and clashed in mid-air.
