Chapter 222 \nChapter 222 â Let's Show Mercy\n
Gore was bewildered by the girl who suddenly appeared in front of him.
He knew that this girl's name wasăKazaneă. A newbie who was currently making a stir among adventurers. He was able to recognize her; as Gore he had witnessed her appearance after the Black Rock Dragon subjugation during his tracking of the White Sword, and she was in Boltoa's memory, whom he had taken over.
He had been told by Age, his fellow member of the Seven Deadly Sins, that there was a high possibility that she possessed Hagasu's Heart, and he had heard that she should be in Hyvern now.
There had been no contact from Age and the others, but he heard that black monsters attacked the East Dragon Village through Minshiana's intelligence network.
Gore knew about Zeku's devil army, so he naturally understood. The problem wasâŠâŠ
ăYou should currently beătransporting Hagasu's Heartă; why are you here?ă
Kazane sneered after those words. She grasped that she was outside the understanding of the devil in front of her. And Kazane had no duty to answer the devil's question. Therefore, she announced.
ăSkillă»Soul Breaking Bladeă»To: Berserk Ogreă
Through the Aim Bracelet, the claws on the Berserk Ogre's arms and feet glowed white. Gore instinctively judged it dangerous when he saw that. That was poison for devils.
ăSkillă»Soul Breaking Bladeă»To: Yuuko-neeă
But it wasn't only that; the claws of the monster cat he hadn't noticed behind Kazane also glowed white. That also had the signs of being a natural enemy for devils.
Then the two monsters started running at Kazane's signal.
Gore tutted. Gore was currently considerably weaker than when he fought Yuuko-nee. Even though Age had shared some power with him, he hadn't recovered that much. Be that as it may, he didn't think he would lose to the two monsters in front of him. Gore wasn't THAT weak, butâŠ.
(⊠That light is dangerous)
He understood it was dangerous at a glance. That was the natural enemy of devils. However, Gore was a devil whose strong point was attacking at long and medium range from the start. He judged it was no big deal as long as he wasn't hit.
When Gore judged so and tried to take distance, that shout shook his body.
(Spiritual attack! Dragon and Ogre shout!?)
That voice reverberated in Gore, who was a spiritual body. The Ogre's Fear Voice and dragon's Roar synergized together to make a shout that permeated Gore's spiritual body. He would normally be able to repel it. However, Gore's mind was overawed by the light ofăSoul Breaking Bladeă, so it was inferior to the Berserk Ogre's scream full of fighting spirit. Therefore, that shout affected him.
Then Gore's body was pierced by the Berserk Ogre's fist. Together with the light ofăSoul Breaking Bladeă, the dragon claws destroyed Gore's interior.
Unexpectedly, or perhaps as expected from obeying instinct, Gore immediately took distance from the Berserk Ogre with that blow. He discovered that some of the souls he had captured, the souls that he was composed of, were vanishing. That blow had been incredibly dangerous.
Though the Ogre wasn't the only danger. Yuuko-nee, who ran along the wall up to the ceiling, vigorously swooped down on Gore. But Gore wasn't going to silently continue suffering damage.
ăDon't underestimate me!ă
So saying, black flame appeared in Gore's right hand and formed into a jet black shield that repelled Yuuko-nee.
The repelled Yuuko-nee immediately spun in the air and landed on the waterway.
Then countless black fire arrows appeared around Gore.
Kazane tutted, but Gore's attack didn't stop. Fire arrows were launched like rain by Gore.
Yuuko-nee screamed as a tremendous number of arrows pierced her, and Kazane realized and immediately undid her summoning. Then Kazane activated her magic defense spell Mirror Shield and further strengthened it with Rainbow Curtain and Cuticle.
ăHahahahahahahaha, die! Die!!!ă
Gore continued firing like he had gone mad, but he didn't notice due to being absorbed in firing his longest range attack. He didn't notice the black shadow approaching from the side. Then he was blown away by a black fist.
The black flame arrows disappeared as Gore struck the wall.
(No way, he broke through those black flame arrows!?)
The black Ogre was charging once again towards the astonished Gore. His whole body was pierced with arrows, so he looked seriously wounded, but a closer examination would reveal that almost none of the arrows were piercing deeply. The individually weak arrow shots failed to pass through the Berserk Ogre's muscles, which were comparable to the Black Rock Dragon's scales.
Gore summoned black flame to deal with the approaching Ogre and formed it into armor that covered his entire body. Gore was wearing physical black armor that had red lines on it like blood vessels. However, the Berserk Ogre's fist pierced that armor.
\nGore groaned as he was pierced by the impact.
He couldn't protect against the claws' penetration. However, the area other than where the claws penetrated the armor was not affected by the white light. Gore grasped that he would be able to defend with physical obstacles and stacked more armor on top.
ăWhoa, he's getting bigger.ă
Just like Kazane said, Gore wearing several layers of armor turned into an armored giant. Black flame appeared in both hands and turned into jet black swords covered with sharp red lines, and he slashed at the Berserk Ogre in front of him. The Berserk Ogre's claws and the jet black swords collided, and sparks scattered.
But that alone was insufficient. What did Gore first see in this place? The girl named Kazane.
ăSkillă»Chargeă»Killing Leeeg!!!!ă
He was exchanging blows with the Berserk Ogre; that meant he was staying in one place, which meant he was struck by Kazane's deadly technique.
The jet black armor was destroyed by the powerful blow, and half of Gore vanished.
Gore screamed from the extremely heavy blow, then took off and abandoned the half-broken armor as he started fleeing. Yes, Gore no longer had any choice but to flee. There was no choice but to flee in fear from the threat beyond his expectations.
The Berserk Ogre was about to chase, but Kazane stopped him.
The Berserk Ogre looked at Kazane after she stopped him, and Kazane calmly declared.
ăHe fled from us. That's his loss.ă
The Berserk Ogre stopped groaning after those words.
ăBesides, I've already prepared for the settlement, so don't steal its turn.ă
The Berserk Ogre silently disappeared after Kazane spoke. The Berserk Ogre realized. The words of his master were not warm words that overlooked the enemy. Hell was the only thing awaiting Gore in the place he escaped to. Then the Berserk Ogre knew. The dreadfulness of his master's power.
The devil's out-of-breath voice echoed in the darkness. Since a devil was a spiritual body, he no longer needed to breathe, but he remembered his body before becoming a devil. It could be said that Gore's mind maintained his appearance.
So Gore's out-of-breath behavior was his consciousness from his time as a human being expressing the reality of his current state; in other words, Gore was considerably fatigued and cornered.
ăWhat, what, what is that little girl!?ă
His voice rose. The ability of the child he had confronted just now. There had certainly been suspicion that she was a player, but she should have onlyăappearedămonths ago. Even if he was weakened, she shouldn't be able to corner him like this.
They had been thinking a player would have been able to accomplish the Ogre subjugation. It seemed she was also part of the battle against Diablo, but Zeku's grandchild was the one who defeated him. The Black Rock Dragon was supposed to have been subjugated by the power of the White Sword. Gore didn't know that Kazane's achievements were actually being cunningly concealed.
And Gore's information network hadn't caught any stories about a Heroic Spirit appearing. So he had concluded that she didn't have one, and she didn't use it in the battle just now. She shouldn't have been a danger.
(Damn it. It couldn't be⊠Age? Did that guy screw up?)\n\năMonster, monster, monsterrrrrr!!ă
Gore half-madly screamed. Forgetting that he was a devil, which was also categorized as a monster. Then his entire body was violated by poison. One of the magic eyes broke through his defense. The poison that devoured even an Astral Body dyed Gore purple.
ăOnDUruSuKA?ă (TL: ăȘăłăă„ă«ăčă«, purple Kamen Rider flubbed line reference)
The meaning was unknown to Gore. Gore didn't know anything.
The sensation of the indignity assaulting his every nook and cranny was dominating Gore. The insects were eating his soul. Not killing him, just eating him little by little. Little by little, little by little from his limbs, pulverizing his mind, breaking, dyeing everything in despair.
And the mind of the devil who had lived for 500 years collapsed in just a few minutes. If there was a Hell, that thing before Gore was surely his. He could only beg for mercy. Only the pure soul that wished for it to end was remaining.
ăKill me⊠please⊠plea⊠kilâŠă
ăRoGEr, UnDErSToOd? HyaHAaă
The monster's eyeballs spun and scattered the flowing tears of blood. Then the final merciful blow pierced Gore.
That was the moment the existence called one of the Seven Deadly Sins was horribly killed.
