Book 1 Chapter 881
As the Legion Commander of Pain, Seneor, who had raised his right hand, squeezed his hand.
Dudududuk- Ttuk-
A chilling bone sound echoed.
Woowooong-!
"Heh."
As Psycheia let out a lewd laugh, countless magic circles appeared in the air.
Kugugugugugung-!
The Beast King Gon created a summoning circle and summoned Gigantes.
'If I were to classify them, would they be knights, mages, and summoners?'
Leo, having grasped the tendencies of the newly formed Legion Commanders, tilted his head left and right.
The sight of him warming up in the form of a newborn baby was outwardly laughable.
However, if the contents of that newborn baby were Leo Flov, it was not a situation that could be simply dismissed as amusing.
Kugugugugugugung-!
A massive dark magic began to erupt from Seneor's body.
"Well then…"
Vicious killing intent and hatred flickered in Seneor's eyes.
Kyle, the hero of the beginning.
A being more hated by demons than anything else.
An arch-enemy who brought about the downfall of the gods.
"Let's see how great the hero of the beginning truly is."
Kwadeuk-! Jjeojeojeojeojeok-!
As Seneor took a step, the ground caved in.
Then, as if an earthquake had occurred, the ground shook and split apart.
"Let's see!"
Kwagagagagagagang-!
Seneor, exploding with dark magic and reaching Leo's face at an imperceptible speed, swung his fist.
The space within the illusion, stopped by the fist filled with terrifying destructive power, shattered like shards of glass and scattered in all directions.
Seneor's eyes widened.
Before he knew it, a long sword had appeared in front of Leo, blocking Seneor's fist like a shield.
Leo's face, directly behind the sword, did not even twitch.
Not the slightest shock had been conveyed.
It was true that Leo's current body was not suitable for combat.
But even so, the power of the mana Leo had built up was not disappearing.
Woong-!
A gray aura erupted from the blade of the long sword, Fosteritas.
"Tsk!"
Seneor hastily retracted his fist.
Geuwooooh-!
From above Leo's head, Gigantes' massive fist came crashing down.
Kagagagak-
Leo's barrier magic emitted a flurry of dazzling flames.
Eventually, the barrier magic was contorted as if it were about to burst.
No matter how powerful Gigantes was as a beast, or how it was enhanced by the beast mage, its destructive power far surpassed Leo's expectations.
'This isn't a simple Gigantes.'
"Hooh…"
The skin of the fist was like rock.
It was the outer shell of Dark Stone, a beast with strong defense.
Sharp thorns protruded densely from various parts of the outer shell.
These were the fangs of the Mana Eater, a supreme mythical beast that consumed mana and emitted poison.
"Hmm?"
Not only that.
He felt a power that far surpassed what a normal Gigantes could unleash.
Leo raised his small hand.
Kwak-!
Then, Fosteritas, influenced by Leo's willpower, unleashed an aura and sliced off Gigantes' forearm.
Kwak-!
The sharply sliced forearm opened, revealing muscle tissue and bone.
'It's not Gigantes' bone and muscle, is it a made-to-order chimera?'
Leo, with an amused expression, opened his left hand and aimed it at Gigantes.
Woong-!
"Gravity magic?"
Gon, riding on Gigantes' shoulder, curled the corner of his mouth.
"Do you know how heavy this Gigantes is?! And it's protected from all sorts of curses! If you cast gravity magic, it will overload your own head?!"
Kwak- Kwadeuk!
"……!"
Beast King Gon's eyes widened.
An unusual sound was coming from Gigantes' body.
'It's not simple gravity magic.'
He added aura to gravity magic.
Since gravity magic itself is a force that exerts physical power, the fusion with aura explosively increased the magic's potency.
Of course, this was an area that ordinary sword mages could never achieve.
This was an area that required mana control ability at the level of a great hero.
"You madman!"
Beast King Gon's face was filled with astonishment.
Kwadeuk-! Kwak! Kwak-!
Geuwooooh-!
Gigantes' body twisted strangely.
"Heh! Have you forgotten about me?"
At that moment, a massive magic circle formed above Leo's head.
"Even the strongest beings can't escape if they're hit directly by magic!"
Leo's eyes twitched as he confirmed the magic incantation.
Upon seeing his reaction, Psycheia burst into laughter.
"You noticed! Hero of the Beginning! That's right! This is the magic of the Progenitor of the Nebula! Magic that turns the end into a curse!"
Psycheia unleashed terrifying dark magic.
"I turned the strongest magic into the strongest dark magic! Along with curses…!"
Leo ignored Psycheia and closed his right eye.
Then, a six-pointed star magic circle formed in his left eye.
Pachink-!
"What…!"
Psycheia showed an astonished expression as her magic was instantly dispelled.
Psycheia frantically raised dark magic, trying to deploy another spell.
At that moment, Leo's left pupil looked at Psycheia.
When their eyes met, Psycheia realized that all the magic and curse incantations she was constructing were being nullified.
Psycheia's face was filled with shock.
"This is a curse! How can a human use a demon's curse!"
[It's nothing.]
Leo sent a mocking message to Psycheia.
The magic circle formed in Leo's left eye was the magic circle of the unique magic, Bible.
The ultimate magic that could use all magic in the world, except for a few special ones.
And the 'curses' used by the demons of Tartarus also fall within the realm of magic, broadly speaking.
Of course, since Leo was not a demon, it was impossible for him to use diverse curses.
However, through Bible, he could create curse incantations that fundamentally nullified dark magic and curses whose incantations had been deciphered.
The terrifying aspect of curses is that they are simple to activate and continue indefinitely until they are lifted.
Leo's curse was activated just by looking at it.
[Indeed, dark magic and curses are scary.]
Leo tightened the hand maintaining gravity magic.
Kwadeuk-!
Kwaaaaaaaaah-!
Gigantes' waist bent backward.
[But if they don't activate, they're not particularly threatening.]
Of course, there was the disadvantage of having to keep his 'gaze' on Psycheia.
Leo was a warrior who perfectly wielded 'super-senses'.
"Haah-!"
Seneor, wrapped in dark magic, charged at Leo.
A charge attack imbued with power as if it could even tear space apart.
It was a level of power completely different from blocking with aura just a moment ago.
Just before Seneor's attack reached.
Flash-!
"Teleportation?"
Leo's body moved to another location.
Even during this, Leo's gaze was directed at Psycheia.
By sacrificing one sense, he perfectly nullified one enemy with powerful destructive capabilities.
Kwadeuk! Kwadudeuk!
Kieeeeeeek!
A scream of pain erupted from Gigantes' mouth.
The body of Chimera Gigantes, capable of annihilating armies of hundreds of thousands by its mere existence, was mercilessly crumpled.
Although its magic resistance had reached its limit, resistance was impossible against Leo's magic.
The crumpled and contorted body of Gigantes eventually became a perfect sphere.
"Mad…"
Beast King Gon's face contorted in shock.
"Don't be ridiculous! I can just summon more beasts!"
Countless summoning circles appeared in the sky.
Kugugugugung-!
Soon, hundreds of hideous beasts revealed themselves.
While he preferred Gigantes, true to his name as Beast King, he could summon and enhance countless beasts.
Seeing the hundreds of summoned beasts, Leo chuckled and stirred his spiritual power.
Woong-!
Then, a small summoning circle appeared in front of Beast King Gon.
'Spirit?'
Gon's eyes twitched.
What appeared was a spirit of darkness.
The beautiful spirit with black hair and a white dress looked at Gon, smiled faintly, slightly lifted the hem of her skirt, and bowed gracefully.
'You think a single spirit can stop me…'
Kwak-!
The moment he thought that.
A beast standing behind him crushed Beast King Gon with its hideous claws.
There was no pain.
But Beast King Gon's face was filled with shock.
"What…?"
The body of the beast that attacked Gon was trembling.
It was a movement as if it were resisting some force controlling it.
Kioooooo!
Another beast tore off the head of that beast.
Kiaak!
The beast, spewing blood like a waterfall from its neck, trembled.
The body of the beast that killed it also began to tremble.
Kwadeuk! Kwajijik! Kwak!
Kioooooo!
Kweoooooooh!
A ferocious battle to the death began among the beasts.
As if infected, the number of beasts escaping Beast King Gon's control began to increase.
Gon quickly found a commonality among the beasts that escaped his control.
'Shadows…'
The shadows were connected.
Upon confirming that, Gon finally found the end of the connected shadows.
Gon's gaze slowly turned to the spirit, Elsie.
The shadows that spread from the tips of Elsie's feet were touching the beasts.
As Gon's gaze shifted, Elsie shyly wiggled her toes.
Despite her innocent appearance, Gon felt an indescribable fear.
Kwagagagagaga!
The Legion Commander of Pain, Seneor, continued to charge at Leo without stopping.
The power of the Berserker was activated.
He was catching up to Leo, who had teleported by predicting his movement path with sharp senses.
Little by little.
Seneor, having narrowed the distance with Leo, chuckled.
No matter how terrifying the abilities, the true body was a pathetically weak newborn baby.
"If I can just touch you…"
[You think you can win?]
Kwak!
At the same time as the mocking message unfolding before his eyes, Fosteritas pierced Seneor's back.
"Hmph!"
It was an attack imbued with a vicious power enhanced by aura.
However, Seneor snorted.
A terrifying blow.
An attack that would kill even a high-ranking demon, but he was a Legion Commander.
Seneor, pulling out Fosteritas imbued with gray aura, threw the sword to the ground.
Woong-!
However, Fosteritas floated up again and aimed at Seneor.
The swordsmanship unfolded as if it were held in his hand.
"Mere techniques…"
Seneor curled the corner of his mouth.
"Are powerless against overwhelming strength!"
Kwagagang-!
Seneor, having parried the sword, spoke to Leo.
"It's impressive that you sealed Psycheia's dark magic and curses with magic, and restrained Gon with spirit arts."
A thick fighting spirit gleamed in Seneor's eyes.
"But can you, with that milk-smelling infant body, face me? Even a great hero hasn't fully regained their power from their previous life, right? And besides…"
Seneor curled the corner of his mouth.
"It seems your mana is running low?"
Although he could wield overwhelming sword strikes, Leo was purely facing Seneor with technique alone.
[You have a good eye.]
"How long can you maintain your composure?"
Seneor clenched his fist.
"Around the time your neck is ripped from your body?"
As Seneor giggled.
Hwiririric-!
Kwahng-!
A massive battle axe flew from Leo.
Seneor, parrying it, snorted.
"Do you think changing weapons will let you face me?"
[I didn't change them.]
"What?"
[I increased them.]
Daggers, greatswords, axes, arrows, spears, sickles, etc., around Leo.
Countless weapons began to appear.
And those weapons pressed upon Seneor, unleashing techniques as if Leo himself were wielding them.
The techniques contained in each weapon were those of a master…
No, they showed movements that seemed to have reached the pinnacle of martial arts.
They flowed with Seneor's overwhelming strength and counterattacked.
Pook! Kwadeuk! Seogeok-!
"Kuhuk?!"
At some point, the weapons moving according to Leo's will began to maul Seneor.
Kwak-!
"Kyaaak!"
A sickle scratched Seneor's eye.
As he instinctively grabbed his eye and screamed, a dagger flew, piercing the back of his hand and burrowing into his head.
"Aaaaagh! Keuk!"
The scream bursting from his mouth was blocked by a flying spear.
Hwoong-! Peogeok-!
The battle axe severed Seneor's neck.
Kwadeuk-!
The battle hammer crushed Seneor's fallen head.
In an instant, the weapons turned Seneor's body into pieces of meat.
Kwaaaaaaa-!
However, it was far from enough to end the Legion Commander's life force.
"You damn old man!"
Seogeok!
"Keuk!"
Seneor, who had restored his body, let out a roar of anger and had his neck severed.
As he vomited blood, a flying club struck Seneor's shin, forcing him to his knees.
[Come to think of it.]
A message appeared before Seneor's eyes.
[You said you enjoyed pain?]
"What?"
[Then let's see. If you'll go mad from enjoyment…]
Instantly, Seneor felt goosebumps all over his body.
His instincts screamed.
Run away.
The moment that thought dominated his mind.
Kwak-!
A flying sword pierced Seneor's thigh.
[Or go mad from agony.]
Pain overwhelmed him.
[But the demons who said things like you all went mad from agony.]
As if starting an interesting experiment.
Leo's weapons began to maul Seneor's body.
"Aaaah!"
[Let's see if you're different from other demons, as you said, Commander of Pain.]
The time of horrific pain began.
