Death March kara Hajimaru Isekai Kyusoukyoku (WN) - Volume 7 - Chapter 22

Chapter 22: 22

7-22 . A Night No One Knows (4)

◇

It's probably the effect of the demon's unique skill . The demon has revived as an undead . The demon's upper body that should have been lost has also regenerated in the blink of an eye . There's no worth in defeating this guy .

The two liuyedao have been lost somewhere when I destroy the upper body earlier, thankfully .

I do have several trump cards, but since I don't know how many times the demon can revive, I won't recklessly use them . It's painful that one MP recovery potion only recovers 20% of my MP with one bottle .

From now on, I'll charge magic swords and the holy swords whenever I'm free .

"It has been since Yamato that I have to resort using Banpufutou's effect . O Nanashi, perchance you can beat me?　Yamato took the heavenly dragons lot along to attack my castle . You alone intend to be the equivalent of a hero and heavenly dragons nanoda huh . "

Fumu, since my name is blank, it's [Nanashi] huh . I guess I'll call myself Nanashi from now on .

<TLN: Na nashi=nameless . >

Thanks to HP potion and self-healing skill, my wounds have disappeared . It still hurts, but not to the degree that makes me unable to fight . Looks like it's bad for the opponent to let me heal more than this .

"The heavenly dragons are taking rests . "

While holding three MP recovery potions on my mouth, I operate the storage with thought .

Since the demon launches destruction magic towards me, I slap the magic with my palm and change its course . The demon is muttering, "Ridiculous", but I ignore it . My palm is stinging . I don't want to touch that magic too much .

"Besides, the professional hero is currently taking a vacation with beautiful big-breasted women in the imperial capital . "

I'd hit him if he really was on a vacation .

I exchanged Durandal for [Trump Card #1, Holy Spear Longinus] from the storage, and pour it in with magic power that I've just recovered . I feel dizzy from using too much magic power, but I endure it .

"Professional hero? Then what are you, nanoda?"

"I'm a part-timer . My main job is a tourist . "

Tourist is not a job . I know .

Using vague words to distract the demon is just fine . The demon uses destruction magic, but the aim is loose . Use ranged magic if you want to hit me .

I shouldn't think unnecessary things .

The demon really launches ranged magic . I kick up the stone pavement below my feet, standing it up and make it into a shield . Unfortunately, I don't get tatami flip skill .

The demon's magic destroys the stone pavement and rushes to me .

I've put up Shield to buy some time, but it's meaningless . The shield also breaks in an instant . I twist my body and protect the important places .

Ouch .

As expected of the demon lord's attack . It's wholesomely painful . Even though the pain quickly goes away, painful thing is painful .

Looking at the health gauge that's only reduced for a bit, the demon is probably the type that's weak with magic .

This time a breath attack is coming, so I use Ground Shrink to evade it . Of course, before it .

While closing in like teleporting, I launch a technique .

Three-stranded spiral spear attack .

I invoke Furnace Flame (Forge) at the same time to burn down the multiple small shields .

The first and second spiral attacks pierce both shoulders of the golden wild boar demon lord's, the third spiral attack pierces the heart . While like that, the holy light sucks the demon's body--

Half of the demon's body has been blasted .

However, the demon cut half of its body with both of its edge-like claws before the spiral spear attack effect reach it . A new body grows out of the remaining half . Are you a planarian .

This demon is much more immortal than Zen .

This time translucent tentacles-like things come out of the demon's hand and attack . What a diverse guy .

Since it's destroyed with just one stab of Longinus, I don't know what kind of attack it is, but it's probably dangerous to recklessly take it .

The demon's eyes are glittering, but since I don't know what kind of attack is it, I look at the log and a chill runs down my spine . They're instant death attack, followed by attack with instant death effect .

>[Instant Death Resistance Skill Acquired]

I stop my assault, and activate the skill on the spot . Next time, if I see the demon doing the same motion, I should take out a mirror .

◇

Since then, my attacks have hit it for many times, but the demon gets revived each time due to its unique skill's effect . It has been revived for seven times already, I want it to end .

The demon seems to think that magic and special attacks are not working against me, this time it changes to attacking physically .

The most annoying one is when I'm attacking it in close range .

While yelling with spirit, I stab at the demon's heart with Longinus, at that time, its hands stretch out toward me . I judge that I could avoid the stretched arms attack with a paper-thin difference, but--

The arm bone breaks through the hand and flies out like a crossbow's bolt .

Its attacks have become increasingly absurd .

While being slightly surprised, I acrobatically avoid the bone arrow .

Short Stun is already unable to even act as a feint, so I don't use it .

Making use of the air as a foothold with Sky Drive, I stab with the holy spear while being upside-down .

It's no good even though the heart is pierced after all huh .

When it comes to this, I have no choice but to cut up the body to pieces and then, evaporate or burn it down .

I exchange Longinus with Durandal .

There's only little magic power left in it, so the blue light that comes out of Durandal is faint .

"What's wrong hero . You can't manage to defeat this immortal body, nodana?"

The demon takes out two rib bones from the sides under its arm, holds it, and lets out a short roar that makes the rib bones get covered in black flames . Flame magic swords huh?

"I'll let you taste my black flame bone swords, noda . Come, dance the dance of death . "

The demon lord comes attacking with two swords style, but leaving aside its appearance, the black flame bone swords are more fragile than the liuyedao . When our swords clash, I just get slightly burned from the black flame .

"What the hell are you, nanoda? Basking in the black flame, bringer of ruin that burns down heavenly dragons, why are you unhurt?!"

I guess it's because my level is high? No, it might be because my destruction resistance skill is at MAX .

Moreover, I do get hurt . It's just that my recovery speed is fast . MP is used for recovery, so I should take care as not to get hurt as much as possible . It hurts after all .

"If you're unhurt, then I'll just keep attacking until you do, noda!"

Please stop doing endless repetitive moves .

The demon endlessly takes out another black flame bone swords whenever I destroy it, and right when I get bored with it, I've finally recovered enough magic power .

As I energetically destroy the black flame bone swords, I cut the demon's body into pieces . When it starts reviving, I invoke Furnace Flame (Forge) during the regeneration's time of half of an eye's blink, incinerating it .

And yet, the demon still regenerates without losing to the fire .

As expected of a demon lord .

Oops, this isn't the time to admire it .

While maintaining Furnace Flame (Forge), I charge holy bolts that I've taken from the Storage, set up crossbow sets, and shoot it . I shoot the remaining 10 sets during the short time .

At last the pieces of meat that are regenerating stop wriggling .

I have to perform the last rite now .

I take out a new thing from the storage, [Trump Card #2, Holy Sword Galatine], and slash with it, evaporating the demon .

I've not thought that I'd end up taking out the secret, Galatine . Galatine is a sibling sword of Excalibur, I've filled with reasonable amount of magic power . If it's still not good with this one, I'd have to use Excalibur even though it's dangerous .

In preparation for the second revival, I gulp down potions . I drink too much, feel sick .

◇

Apparently, it won't revive again . The evidence is the appearance of these guys .

"Kusukusu, it lost huh . "

"It lost, lost to Yamato . "

"It lost to the new hero too . "

Three small violet lights rise up, just like the time with Zen .

No, their colors are a bit black . Jet black lights are also mixed in occasionally . The impression I sense from them are the same, but are they different things?

"It's an Orc after all . "

"What should we use this time?"

"Weasel seems smart . "

Thinking that I would not harm them, they let their guard down, I cut the black violet lights .

I slash the jet black lights three times, and the three after-lights disappear . I take off [God Slayer] from my title, and put the divine sword into the Storage . It feels like the divine sword has absorbed the slashed lights, but since the divine sword's status hasn't changed, it's probably just my imagination .

After crushing the black violet lights, the log flows in great speed indicating loots acquisitions, but I scroll back on it and will check the loot for later . The log properly shows [Fragments of God have been defeated!], so I've probably beaten them .

When I carefully think about it, the deeds make it as if I'm picking a fight with the god, but it's a done deal so there's no use in thinking about it . Though, I feel that an existence that lends its power to the demon lord would be hostile even if I don't do anything anyway . Even if I've antagonized the god, I hope that it's the kind of god with 100 years later scale .
