The Elemental Sword Demon King
Episode 57: Vision of the Knight Captain
It was a spirit crystal mine that towered over the abandoned city. They finally arrived at his entrance and from within the tunnel, the violent sound of weapons echoed.
"Kaizo, that!"
In the pitch-black darkness where Victoria pointed, a powerful flash occurred. The one who fought was Eve Veilmist, using her elemental aero spear.
Her twintail hair was fluttering in the blowing wind. His appearance showed that he had smashed his Knight armor and was filled with torn wounds. From there, he could see that he had wounds all over his body.
"Haha, as expected of the Captain, you have greatly comforted me, haven't you?!" A deafening loud laughter resounded in the tunnel.
In front of Eve, stood a boy with glistening red eyes that glared. It was Noah Alnest. A male elementalist, who called himself the successor of the Demon King.
Rin and Misha, lying unconscious at her feet, are seriously injured. And it looks like the one who injured him was none other than Noah Alnest.
"You baj*ngan, my colleagues, how dare you!"
Eve swung her «Ray Hawk». The walls of the tunnel were shattered, and the hard bedrock shattered like glass.
Noah laughed out loud as he jumped. It was not a possible movement for a human, there might be a spirit strengthening the body possessing it.
"Hey, hey, what is it? Is being part of a Knight just a child's game?"
"You ke*rat!" Eve shouted in a rampage because of her disdain for the Knights.
* ᚦ ᚨ ᚱ ᚲ ᚹᚺ ᚾ ᛁ ᛃ ᛇ ᛈ ᛉ ᛋ ᛏ ᛒ ᛖ ᛗ ᛚ ᛜ ᛞ ᛁᚠ ᚨ ᚲ ᚾ ᛁ ᛃ ᛇ ᛉ ᛋ ᛏ ᛒ ᛗ ᛜ *
"Wind of evil, you became countless swords and cut off my enemies."
He unleashed the power of his «Ray Hawk», elemental aero from his demon wind spirit «Aimorphy». It was a spear that created wind blades, something that tormented Kaizo in their duel in the academy.
Even if he avoided it with a paper-thin margin, the countless wind blades summoned additionally would cut the target into pieces. But that did not scare Noah.
* ᚾ ᛁ ᛃ ᛇ ᛉ ᛋ ᛏ ᛒ ᛗ ᛜ ᛟ ᛈ ᛋ ᛏᛒ ᛖᚠ *
"How reckless. Reflect it, the Spirit of the Mirror of Satan (The Glare of the Mirror)!" As Noah shouted, a shiny red mirror appeared before Eve.
When his wind spear wings wrapped in wind touched the surface of the mirror, countless wind blades turned around to show their teeth towards Eve.
Cut by the sword while dancing boisterously, Eve's body was thrown against the wall.
"Geev!"
Kaizo ran with the Nyx Rune in his hand.
As if already aware of their presence, Noah turned around and sneered. "Yo, more idiots are squirming out."
"Kaizo, no!"
The Kaizo movement paused for a moment in response to Victoria's voice from behind. At that moment, the spirit seal engraved on Noah's right arm shone.
*ᚠ ᚢ ᚱ ᚲ ᛋ ᛏ ᛒ ᛁᚠ ᚨ ᚲ ᚾ ᛁ ᛃ ᛇ *
"It's okay until the inside of their lungs ache, Come out, Spirit Flower Poison (Rafflesia)!"
A thick bluish-purple smoke fog gushed out with incredible force. The smoke fog of the skin-burning poison enveloped Kaizo's entire body, and invaded his lungs.
"Gruah!"
Pain ran through his eyes. His throat was hot as if it was burning. From the gap between his fingers covering his mouth, blood spilled and dripped onto the ground.
(This is a poison attribute spirit, is this smoke itself an elemental aero!?)
A muttering groan echoed in the tunnel. Resisting the burning pain, Kaizo opened his eyes slightly. Eve and the two girls, who were bathed in a poisonous smog, curled up in pain.
His throat muscles spasm, so he cannot speak satisfactorily. It was still possible to stand here, but if he continued to advance, he would lose his consciousness before reaching the girls.
(Why did he not receive the poison as well?)
A ranged annihilation-type spirit like Rafflesia could not be dealt with normally. Since controlling him was difficult, if he did poorly, he would eventually drag himself into the smog as well. However, Noah Alnest calmly stood in the middle of the deadly poison fog.
Then Kaizo noticed. There was a slight flow of wind around the boy.
(Once, he was using a wind attribute spirit at the same time!)
An elementalist who used many contracted spirits. In this case, by combining the strength of other spirits, he heard that they could also use spirits that were originally too heavy to handle.
(Damn it, isn't it almost like cheating?!) Kaizo cursed in his heart.
(If it was the demon Aura bow, could he shoot from outside the effective range of the smog?)
He turned around and peered back, but Aura swung her ice arrow, and without moving, she aimed her shot at Noah.
(He didn't shoot?)
The Aura assessment was correct. Noah is displaying the Mirror Demon Spirit (Mirror Luster), which reflects Eve's elemental aero. If he shot hurriedly, he would probably hit Eve and the others, who had fainted nearby.
It seemed like Victoria was standing up like she was covering Tiana, who was performing a sword style with her fire attribute aero element. It was just a momentary thought, but in the meantime, Eve's body and the others were eaten by the poison.
(Damn it!)
His body was irritated as if it was burning. At that moment. In the dark tunnel, a faint rumble sounded.
(Eve!?)
* ᛏ ᛒ ᛖ ᛚ ᛜ ᛞ ᛟ ᛗ ᛚᛜ ᛞ ᛟ*
"O Wind, destroy my enemies, «Round Wind»!"
At that moment, the wisp of strong wind that was released blew away the poison fog without leaving a trace.
"Haaa, huh, kahaa!" Eve gasped for breath, thrust her wind demon spear into the ground, and stood up.
His anti-puncture uniform was cut off, and his entire body was filled with wounds. Both of his legs, which were covered in torn stockings, had severe cramps.
Even so, her coldly standing and resolute appearance was a beautiful woman to the point that she was spontaneously blown away.
Eve prepared her aero elemental spear, then she glared at Noah and declared in a hoarse voice. "Risking the Hybrid Knight's pride, even if I lose, you'll be defeated as well!"
"That hurts, you're j*lang."
Noah, who received a direct hit from the strong wind, curled his lips, and clicked his tongue. "If that's the case, I'll beat you to death as you wish!"
The spirit seal engraved all over Noah's body shone ominously.
"Like I'll let you!"
At the same time as Kaizo moved away, two blasts of fireballs were released towards Noah. It was Victoria who covered it up.
As Noah fends off the fireball, Kaizo seizes his chance and accelerates his run towards Noah. And then, slashing at the space where Noah was, Kaizo slashed directly horizontally with the Nyx Rune.
