Turns Out To Be a Genius Duelist

Chapter 118 Devil (4)

Smoke wafted from the craters. Within, monsters crawled out onto the plains. On the other side, an equally formidable foe formed up. Hundreds of thousands of troops were quickly refining their lines so that they could advance at any time. If someone had witnessed this scene, they would have expected a neck-and-neck battle.

Until they learned that the two groups were aiming for only three people in the center.

‘I should’ve stopped him when he said he was going west.….’

Rick muttered to himself. It was such a series of shocks, so he just followed Yoon-seok at that time, but eventually, they reached the middle of the plain with no place to escape. Of course, it wasn’t Yoon-seok’s fault. If it weren’t for him, they wouldn’t have made it this far in the first place, and every second was too precious to waste trying to pass the blame.

“What are you going to do from now on? Do you think we can get out of here?”

A question that would never have been asked if he hadn’t shot through tens of thousands of troops with his inhumane power. But there was no miracle.

“It’s impossible to escape.”

“…I see.”

Rick bowed his head perplexedly. In a way, it might’ve been obvious, but he couldn’t believe it until he heard it.

“Of course, there’s also the impossible for people like you…”

Rick accepted the reality, and he was prepared to have this place as his grave. Yet, after scanning around, Yoon-seok continued.

“Isn’t it funny?”

“Funny, what are you referring to?”

“The fact that so many are only aiming for a little girl.”

Rick looked into the eyes revealed through the mask. His eyes were smiling, but they were somewhat creepily cold. Soon, Rick realized he said they couldn’t get out of here, not that there was no way.

“Do you have a plan?”

Yoon-seok nodded after a moment. It wasn’t something grand and meticulous enough to call a plan, but Yoon-seok was exactly aware of what was going to happen.

Boom!

Yoon-seok stabbed his sword into the ground to create a hole.

“As long as you don’t leave, you will survive.”

“Okay.”

He must’ve had many questions, but Rick went into the pit without troubling him further. Yoon-seok was quite relieved by the gesture. With this kind of personality, he didn’t seem the type to rebel against orders or lose his life carelessly.

“…”

Yoon-seok covered the pit with Force Shield. It was the best he could do in this situation. At least until he ran out of magic, they would be completely safe there.

“Kuooooooooo-!”

When the rough preparations were over, the monsters began to rush recklessly toward Yoon-seok. It was also the same for the Holy Trinity Cult, which was now perfectly ready for battle.

“God will bless this holy war, angels! Don’t be afraid!”

Should he say it was like a confrontation between good and evil? One side looked like demons from hell, and the other emitted a holy light. However, in Yoon-seok’s eyes, between the two, or even with himself, he felt no difference. So, he smiled.

It was often said the winner is justice. If that was true, that was who he’d become tonight. The only justice in this place.

“Kill him!”

Killing Yoon-seok. Their purpose was the same, but fundamentally there was a gap that could never be narrowed. One side wanted to restore their savior, Elle, and the other side wanted to kill her. That was why it was impossible to unite.

“You insect-like human!”

“Get rid of all this dirty trash!”

Instantly, the battlefield was split into a three-sided battle. The monsters tore and shredded the corps of the Holy Trinity Cult, and the Holy Trinity Cult soldiers joined forces to defeat the creatures. Yoon-seok fought in the center of the chaotic battlefield regardless of all those approaching.

Slashhhhhhhhh-!

Boom!

Humans, monsters, beast people, elves. He didn’t care about their race or whether there was a judgment mark above their head or what their karma was. This may be the essence of war, but he killed them because they were enemies.

Boom!

The fierce battle continued to overheat. The warriors with wings of light and the flying creatures collided in the air and fell to the ground. Black magic flew in, only to be neutralized by the white glow spread in the air.

Ignoring it all, Yoon-seok slashed again and again at the swarming enemies.

Thumppppppppp!

Then, a large source of magic was coming from the heathens’ camp. At the same time, a large purple magic square was painted over the night sky.

“The Devil… it’s the devil! The cursed ruler of Kilian is here!”

It started with a soldier’s cry. Something appeared in the magic square drawn in the sky, forming from the feet.

Whirrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

A huge body that seemed to be over 100 meters tall, with majestic black wings and horns. Indeed, the existence worthy of the name was holding a book in one hand and a cane in the other.

“Devil! Please punish these hypocrites!”

One heathen prayed to the devil. Shortly after that, a red light flashed from the book it held and fired off. Yoon-seok only watched and did nothing. The attack wasn’t directed at him.

Vvvvvvvnnnnn.

The emitted ray moved around the battlefield. Stopping it? It wasn’t possible. Those who were hit melted away without a trace. If he had headed this way, Yoon-seok would have had to bear considerable magic damage.

‘Does it help to have Elle?’

Yoon-seok knew the reason why the devil’s punishment wasn’t fired at him was thanks to Elle’s presence.

“Don’t give in to evil, for the heavenly light will protect you!”

After the appearance of the devil, the Holy Trinity Cult hurriedly came up with countermeasures. Their response was a 30m tall stone statue.

“Wahhhhhhh! This is a holy statue of the protector!”

Was it a secret weapon that only Yoon-seok didn’t know of? When the stone statue appeared in the middle of the battlefield, the fighting spirit of the Holy Trinity Cult soared sky-high. It became apparent soon what was happening.

Whish! Whish! Whish!

A wave of light emitted periodically from the stone statue. The soldiers who came into contact with it healed, and the monsters struck by it crumpled like burnt ash.

Vvvvvvnnnnn-!

Immediately, the devil’s rays were moved toward the stone statue. However, the hundreds of angels wandering in the sky gathered and summoned a huge shield of light to block it.

‘Sacrifice spell….’

As the ray continued, the warriors who summoned the shields lost their strength one by one and fell to the ground. Come to think of it, he’d heard it from Wellington in the past, about the sacrifice spell capable of granting massive power by using one’s life as collateral. Should he say it was all or nothing anyway?

The two forces, who took out their hidden cards, clashed, and their power began to diverge. But, Yoon-seok wasn’t happy about it.

‘Damn it.’

He didn’t know if it was because of b Immortality} or the sacred power used by Kanna. However, that pure white light recognized Yoon-seok as an enemy. He didn’t become ash instantly like the creatures, but, whenever the light approached, his magic was consumed in bundles. He would run out after once or twice more.

‘Demonify.’

Yoon-seok brought up the skill he had been saving. Originally, he planned to endure as long as he could while the heathens and Holy Trinity Cult fought, then take it out as a last resort. He had no choice now, however.

If his magic ran out, the Force Shield would be lifted, and Yoon-seok could never protect them perfectly in a war of this scale.

「Powerful demonic energy is permeating the body for 1 minute.」

The transformation came immediately as his muscles were inflated to fit the 4m physique. Horns sprouted from his head, and wings grew from his back. His pointed tail alone seemed threatening enough. In terms of outer appearance, it wouldn’t be strange to call him a miniature version of the devil, but he would never fall behind that devil in power.

Clank.

Yoon-seok sheathed his swords. The reason was extremely simple: it was a waste to hold a sword in his current state.

Whirrrrrrrrrrrr!

Yoon-seok raised both palms. Then, the surrounding space began to distort and waver. At first glance, it looked like a summer heatwave. But the moment, Yoon-seok clenched his fists.

Crack. Crackkkkk.

Like a cracked mirror, the warped space fragmented. The power of spatial control could only be used in the state of {Demonify}. After a moment, the cracks disappeared, but the pieces didn’t return to their original state.

Thuddddddddd.

Whether a creature or landmark, everything falls above the ground when it is divided into random cut puzzles. It was a bizarre scene that made viewers mesmerized, but Yoon-seok did not hesitate and continued to exert his power to the limit.

Crack! Crack! Creakkkk!

Massive chunks of each army disappeared with that one hand gesture. Translucent souls arose from everything that was destroyed and pulled into Yoon-seok’s body.

‘Let’s start with that.’

Yoon-seok reached out to the stone statue taken out by the Holy Trinity Cult. The angel warriors were still enduring the attacks from the devil, sacrificing their lives endlessly. It was time to let them rest in peace.

Crackkkkk!

The moment Yoon-seok clasped his hand, the secret weapon of the Holy Trinity Cult that was used to confront the devil was shattered into pieces. And the shield that they summoned by sacrificing themselves? All of them were meaningless in front of Yoon-seok’s power.

“H-how can this be…?”

When hope disappeared, despair replaced it. However, Yoon-seok, who wanted both sides to be fair, reached out in the direction of the devil. It wasn’t easy.

Crack! Crack! Creakkkkkk!

Was he immune to this power? Or was it because his body was too big to handle it all at once? It was unknown, but the devil kept its original form even in that twisted and shattered space. However, Yoon-seok didn’t panic. The more he used the power of spatial control, the more he knew how to do so efficiently.

Whirrrrrrrrr.

Creak, creakkkkkk….

Yoon-seok opened his left palm and aimed at the devil, and with his right hand, he grabbed his wrist. 1 second, 2 seconds, 3 seconds, 4 seconds, 5 seconds. As time passed, the distortion of space grew out of control.

‘Now.’

Yoon-seok clenched his fist. It was exactly right before the duration of b Demonify} was over.

Whooshhhhhhh-!

The cracking sound wasn’t heard like before. No, to be exact, it would be better to say that he couldn’t hear it. Instead of silence, his ears were ringing. The distorted crack broke, and the black sphere in the center sucked in all the noise and everything around it.

Whik.

Yoon-seok didn’t know what that black thing was. But when b Demonify} was lifted and his original form returned, everything that existed in this space, including the devil, disappeared around the sphere.

“The devil….”

An angel warrior muttered. Was it because it was too quiet, considering that countless beings gathered together moments prior? Yoon-seok also clearly heard the voice. However, apart from that, he had no choice but to tilt his head slightly.

What did he mean by the devil? The real devil had already died, so why did he say that while looking at him? Of course, it would be a hundred times better for him to be the one being called a hero.
