(EP-231.2) Revelation #2
231 – Demon Monk’s Revelation #2
“Are you going to come at me?”
Hoo, hoom.
This must be what the expression ‘the air is heavy’ was. Even taking a breath turned stifling.
“Professor Balan. This will be on a different level than anything before.”
“Yes, yes!”
Seureuk-.
“Uno.”
At that moment, one of the floating swords grazed my face. I felt blood leaking from the sharp cut on my cheek, but there was no time to worry about the pain.
─Mana Shield!
I raised my mana output to the maximum and deployed a mana shield. The extreme magic I gained from becoming a Little Demon King allowed me to create about ten layers of mana shields.
“Dos, tres, cuatro.”
Sling, sling, sling-.
Clang, clang-!
However, my shields were simply being shattered like windows by stones, under the relentless onslaught from all directions. If this continued, I would inevitably be exposed to the attacks.
How did the main character’s party fight the Queen?
Eudeuk-.
Gritting [N O V E L I G H T] my teeth, I focused entirely on defense. Even if it just meant continuously replenishing my mana shield, it was quite effective.
“Interesting, then how about this?”
The Queen put down her sword and reached her hand towards me.
“... What is she trying to do?”
Balan, hiding within my mana shield, voiced her doubts, but I could read the Queen’s intentions. The gathering light on her fingers was anything but ordinary.
—Tahlum.
Finally, with a short incantation, a world-erasing beam of superheated light shot from her finger. It pierced through the many layers of my mana shield at a single point and grazed my cheek.
Whaaaaaa-!
At the same time, an intense heat seared my face. I narrowly avoided the full blast, but if I had been hit directly, I would have died horribly.
“Theo-nim, what should I do? I don’t see any gaps!”
Balan was in a panic.
... In retrospect, Balan had been panicking all day. I brought her thinking she would be helpful, but she was just being fussy. I almost wanted to take back her vacation time.
However, everyone had their time to shine. fгeewebnovёl.com
Thus, I decided to put Balan into good use.
“Balan, can you make a potion?”
“Po, potion?”
“From now on, do as I say.”
Taking advantage of the Queen recharging her next spell, I quickly explained my plan. Balan made a disgusted face and said, “Ugh,” but there was no other choice.
“I can buy you about a minute, so please do it!”
I regenerated my mana shield and moved forward. The Queen, seemingly surprised that I would step up, couldn’t hide her intrigue.
“You have the face of someone resigned to death. Good, I’ll tear you apart, feed your corpse to the birds, and throw your bones to the dogs. Huhuhu-.”
“.......”
That was a bit too harsh...
If I hadn’t come to Ark, Aira would have become a wicked girl who said such things without hesitation. I definitely made the right choice there.
Thanks to that, I felt a bit more confident.
“Your Majesty. You stand corrected, I’m not prepared to die, I’m prepared to kill.”
“Hoo?”
I’d noticed something while fighting the episode bosses in this imaginary world. Both the Headhunter and the Necromancer felt somewhat lacking and one-dimensional compared to the women I know.
Perhaps the manifestation couldn’t fully capture reality. If that was the case, then the Tyrant Queen must also fall short of the woman I knew.
Therefore, I stood a chance.
I first activated the nymph-type secret technique.
─Ditch Eyes!
A pair of clear, brilliant eyes gazed at Aira.
“... Why are you opening your eyes like that?”
It was very slight, but the Queen’s furrowed brows loosened. It seemed she still liked cute things.
Taking advantage of her slight lapse in focus, I pointed my tail wand at her and chanted a spell.
─Paimon!
Raw high-level magic flew towards the Queen’s chest.
“Too slow.”
But the Queen’s reaction speed was faster than I anticipated, deflecting the spell with a sword.
Clang-!
