chapter 23
23 – #023 Bring Me Next.
Shoot it.
Red blood splatters on his face.
Until now, I’ve had a lot of blood on my face, but there was no blood that was as wet and warm as now.
Always.
I had to have my colleague’s blood on my face.
Or, he had to be buried with the blood of the demon who killed his comrades.
Later, even when I fought on the battlefield, I had to be covered with the blood of the demons I killed.
The heavy rain of fresh blood, sticky, unpleasant, and full of death energy, made me feel very dirty.
But now?
“…… Ha.”
Exciting.
Drugs, s*xual intercourse, and winning the lottery won’t be as thrilling as this.
“Uh…”
Everyone is surprised.
Soldiers and knights stiffen as they are and are surprised to see a woman’s head rolling beneath me.
“Just now, you cut off the head of the hero Hwang Lian…?”
“Yes.”
One of the soldiers closest to me said as if he had lost his mind.
If I had been in the same position, I might have fainted.
It is a well-known fact that I cut off the wrist of a femme fatale with a magic sword.
But that’s a one-sided statement from a femme fatale, and people haven’t seen it with their own eyes.
In this world, unlike the Earth, where people believe that what they have not seen is the truth when it becomes an issue on the Internet, it is a world in which people only believe what they see with their own eyes.
So.
“Gee, I really killed it…Ugh…!”
“Yes. A hero killed a hero. From the outside, that is.”
Everyone can’t help but be frightened and astonished when they see Undertaker slash the warrior’s neck with a demonic sword.
“Whoa.”
I honestly hesitated even the moment I lowered my sword.
Is killing like this the answer?
Shouldn’t it have been something like playing with it a little more or tearing it up a little more painfully?
‘It’s okay.’
This alone is satisfactory.
It’s crude, but the moment the demonic sword was stamped out, a feeling of pleasure covered the whole body.
“…….”
Pass.
The demonic energy wrapped around the demonic sword Kramuta disappears.
I thought I had enough stacks to use the magic sword, but unfortunately it seems that cutting off the hero’s neck was the limit.
All the demonic energy of the sword disappears.
At this rate, Kramuta is nothing more than a famous sword, the Ego Sword with the soul of a Dark Elf.
Without magic, you cannot deal with other warriors and surpluses.
It might be possible to cut it.
However, even if you cut it, you can attach it with divine power if you know the location.
The magic sword is impossible.
“Wow. That’s a neat cut.”
Padding weave.
It feels like seeing the bodies of countless colleagues I buried.
The cut sections are not grotesque at all.
The bones, muscles, and places where blood clots should have been pooled are all black and rotten, polluted as if they were bruised.
That’s the ‘Wound by Magi’.
It is a scar that cannot be properly recovered even with the divine power of the goddess, and cannot be restored forever unless it is properly purified before the contamination hardens in place.
It’s a bit disappointing, but now one-
“Cool, cool, cool…!”
Under my feet.
Her head, which had been rolled to the side, began to cough.
“What is…?”
“Cough, Cough…!”
The body I was stepping on started to shake, and that severed head started to clear its throat.
“…….”
Suddenly, goose bumps ran down my spine.
I felt as if I had joined the ranks of those soldiers and knights.
Does the severed throat cough?
Even your body is shaking?
No, that’s rigor mortis.
Coughing out of your mouth is just spitting out blood in your mouth, and your body is just moving in rigor mortis, just like the muscles of a slaughtered cow at a slaughterhouse.
But.
“Ah… How did this…”
You are talking ‘talk’.
“This is crazy.”
No way.
Because Magi is not intact?
Does that mean that since the Demon King died, even the Magi couldn’t completely kill him?
Because the demon king, the source of demonic energy, does not exist?
“What, what is this…?”
Head propped sideways on the floor, Hwang Lian’s eyes met.
With her hair turned black, the lower part of her neck was dyed black, she opened her eyes wide in surprise as she saw me stomping on her body.
“How the hell did this happen…”
This is what I want to say.
I want to ask how he is alive when his head is cut off.
But.
‘I can’t stay still.’
Warak.
I immediately grabbed Huang Lian’s hair.
“Kyaaa!!”
“Shut up. …Witch!”
I stuck the demon sword into the ground and forcibly grabbed Huang Lian’s chin with my free hand.
“Eup, ugh…!!”
“To be able to live and move even after being decapitated! Is this a hero! A witch cursed by the devil!”
“Ah, no! Agitate me now, ugh!!!”
I grabbed Huang Lian’s face enough to crush her jawbone.
“Look, warriors of the empire! Behold the true nature of the witch!!”
I grabbed Huang Lian’s face and held him high.
Eyes are still looking at me through my fingers, but I don’t care, I point to the soldiers at Huang Lian’s detached head and body.
“How could any hero, even if his head and neck were separated, still be able to speak like this and stay alive! I’ve never seen a case like that!!”
The soldiers began to agitate.
I can’t help but be agitated.
A madman who just released the magic sword and used it.
And even though his head was cut off by that demonic sword, even though I was drenched in blood and spilled blood to the point where I was covered in blood, my head was alive and moving.
“Commander Hwang Lian has become a witch!! How can this situation exist if he is not a witch!! Soldiers, knights, heroes who survived the war!”
I threw Huang Lian’s head to the floor.
I felt a slight, very slight remorse, but seeing that there was no blood spatter and no damage to my face, I felt a strange certainty.
“I will kill all the witches! Before I return to Earth, I will carry out all of her last missions as commanded by the goddess and leave! The witch’s…Death!!”
It’s not like a witch conceived by the devil’s seed.
“Until I kill all the witches, I won’t stop! Even if I pray for the souls of those who stand in my way under the control of the witches, if I get in the way of killing the witches, I’ll even slash them with a demonic sword! That’s my destiny!! “
Fu-wook!
I pulled out a shovel spear and stabbed it into Huang Lian’s back, who had collapsed on the floor.
“The first witch is dead!”
Hwang Lian’s body became a tomb burial mound, and my shovel spear became an inverted cross of divine power inserted on top of the burial mound.
The spear blade made of mana crashed into the floor, and Hwang Lian’s body convulsed for a moment before completely stopping.
“Look, comrades!”
“Ah!!”
I wrapped Huang Lian’s hair around the magic sword.
After tying it properly so that it would not be cut by the blade, he held Huang Lian’s neck high and held the magic sword high for everyone to see.
“But still, as you can see, the body is dead but the head is alive!”
“…….”
Huang Lian didn’t say anything. She
She’s not as much as me, but she’s a woman with a sense of her own, and she knows that what she says can be fatal in the current situation.
But.
I am higher.
“Look! This clever witch! She pretends to be dead without saying a word!”
Per-euk!
I slammed my greatsword down on the floor.
She hit the ground face to face, but Huang Lian didn’t say anything.
“Look at this perfectly fine face! What kind of human in the world has had his face slammed into the ground and not a single nose bone has been broken and he is still in this condition!!”
I don’t know about this either.
I don’t know why the head is intact, and the face is intact.
But what is clear is that Huang Lian’s head is definitely alive right now, and she’s doing her best to keep her mouth shut.
“Heroes of the Empire! Will you believe in the witch who drove your comrades to death, or will she believe in me who buried your comrades and fell the demon king over her corpse!”
If you have common sense, of course I am.
Even if they are beings under orders from the emperor.
Before discussing loyalty, there is the duty of a ‘person’.
“Even though the demon king has fallen, will you trust the one who forcibly gives you orders and use it as your shield, or will you trust and follow me, who has been given an oracle by the goddess!”
I set down my greatsword and put my hand inside my shirt.
“Look!”
I wore my share of rings.
Soon, subtle divine power emanated from the ring, and at the same time, another ring I had started to sparkle.
Perhaps.
Since Huang Lian is by his side, he must be reacting to the existence of Hwang Lian.
Of course, it wasn’t to fit Hwang Lian.
“The will of the goddess is with me!!”
Warriors are agents of the Goddess.
And while no one else can radiate this divine protection, I alone emit the divine protection?
“I declare! I am the last warrior left on this land! The last warrior who will kill the demon king, eliminate the witches possessed by the demon king’s curse, and leave this land!”
The corners of Hwang Lian’s mouth move.
Even now, he kept his mouth shut, convinced that if he said even a word here, he would be immediately accused of being a witch and his body burned at the stake – although he wouldn’t actually burn.
“Having knocked down one, it’s time to move on to the next!”
Huang Lian’s head was cut off.
His arm was cut off, and his wrist was also cut off.
Now, Hwang Lian has become four large pieces.
I’ll have to collect that and spread it all over the world, but there’s something more important right now.
“The one who deceives the emperor of the empire, tries to kill the elves, and brainwashes and manipulates humans!!”
I aimed the sword that cut off Huang Lian’s head in a different direction.
“I will decapitate the second witch, the femme fatale!!”
Clap.
Passing the demonic sword over his shoulder.
“Heroes!! Will you stop me from following the will of the goddess, or will I open the way to kill the witch!”
Let’s extend the demonic sword forward.
Clap.
Knights.
Soldiers.
“…For a hero.”
Backing off to his left and right, he lowered his head with one hand clenched into a fist on his chest.
