Chapter 154: Riding Doul, Acceleration (3)
Despite replenishing my magic power through the union with Doul and using her overwhelming power to create blade winds attacking Duoexini from all directions…
“Hahaha…! Seems like long-range attacks have their limits after all…!”
[…….]
Duoexini dodged the attacks like a nimble rat.
More precisely, he avoided my attacks while preserving his vital areas, presumably his weak points.
[Offering flesh to protect the bone. I wonder how long your regeneration will last?]
“And how long can you, the Goblin, keep pouring out your magic power like that? Huh?”
Duoexini’s severed arms bubbled up, and soon, new flesh grew, forming the arms again.
“I might just disappear, but what about you, Mr. High-and-Mighty Goblin? It’ll be troublesome for you if you encounter S-class heroes, won’t it? Huh?”
[Will they catch me or you?]
“They’ll obviously try to catch what’s in front of them first! Hahaha.”
Duoexini finished regenerating.
Still, Doul’s perception couldn’t catch up with the spacetime particle-induced body acceleration. I gripped the Wol-do again, aiming at Duoexini.
“Shall I show you something interesting?”
As Duoexini stretched out his arms, two demons crawled on all fours beside him, merging their bodies together.
“From now on, these two demons will become one!”
[Merging demons into one?]
“Yes! Just like…fusion!”
Bang!
The moment Duoexini brought his hands together as if in prayer, the demons leaped from the ground and backed into each other.
“Kwooo!”
“Kihaaak!”
The demons screamed, turning their eyes inside out. Tentacles sprouting from the bodies of the two demons wrapped around each other, becoming one.
[Ugh….]
It made me feel nauseous.
Everything else was bearable, but seeing two men merge like that really churned my stomach.
Like peeling off an eel’s skin, the tentacles wrapped around each other’s flesh, and their heads connected into one. The sight was grotesque.
Like a 19+ horror game featuring twisted humans by alien creatures.
“See, Nam Du-chang and Kong Tae-bum merged into one! Call it Legion-Duchanggong (頭槍公)! Hahaha!”
[Disgustingly grotesque. That demon would have been immediately censored if this was broadcast live.]
I had to deal with it immediately.
Regardless of Yumir standing behind me, I needed to eliminate that thing first.
At least before Duoexini was able to block this attack-
[Doul, full power-]
“Kieeek!”
The demon, not aiming at me, turned its cannons elsewhere.
Dark red magic power began to wriggle along the barrel, and the target was not our current battlefield but somewhere else.
“Indiscriminate firing! And that too, with ‘accelerated’ power!”
[You can’t be serious.]
“I mixed in a bit of my ability! Hahaha! Impossible, that’s nothing!”
The monster had Duoexini’s ultra-fast ability?
That meant-
“Legion Duchanggong’s rapid-fire will engulf Ulleungdo in demonic energy!”
[Oh no-]
This couldn’t happen.
If Ulleungdo was engulfed in demonic energy, the children born here in the future would be in danger.
Demonic energy was like radiation, and there was no need to explain what happened to children born in areas exposed to radiation.
Given the situation, I thought about releasing my transformation to tackle it physically, but-
[I’ll do it.]
Suddenly, lightning flashed beside me.
A golden wind, a golden lightning, passed by me and rushed towards Duchanggong.
Crackle!
The golden lightning whirled around Duoexini and Duchanggong, turning sharply, and something extended from both arms, spinning fiercely.
Swoosh!
Duchanggong was split in an instant.
It was cut into so many pieces that it was impossible to count as the massive body was swiftly divided.
Crackle!
Simultaneously, golden lightning flashed on the cleaved surfaces.
The lightning struck right at the cut, preventing any blood or mucus from exploding out.
“Ke, kuhuk…!”
Duoexini was also split.
His arms, legs, and torso were bisected, leaving only his head and neck intact, like a mannequin in an art school.
Thud thud.
The remnants of what was Duchanggong fell to the ground.
The pillars collapsed powerlessly downward, the torso split in half, and the eight legs planted on the ground were cut at the joints and crumbled.
Behind them stood her, with her hands clutching golden blades.
“Pl, Platinum Sun…! Se, seriously!”
Despite only having a head and neck, Duoexini began to speak without any issue.
“Ha, haha…! That can’t be…! No, no! Maybe it’s a good thing! It means that this country’s culture is also effective on foreigners…kekeke!”
[You talk too much.]
Yumir, with her mask pressed down, tossed her golden sword upward with one hand.
Whoosh!
[If you say one more word, I’ll kill you. You.]
The golden sword dropped right behind Duoexini’s head.
“Kill me…? Hu, huhuhu, that’s…impossible…! Not now, not now…!”
Despite the sword falling near his head, Duoexini just laughed and moved his head vigorously.
“Platinum Sun killing me should be at a more glamorous place…! Not like this in Ulleungdo, where no one sees, but yes, where more people can see…!”
[You’re really verbose.]
Whoosh!
I swung the Wol-do towards Duoexini.
Even if his head moved, he couldn’t go farther than my walking range, so I successfully split his head completely.
[Is he done for?]
[Ah, that, that saying…!]
[I did it on purpose.]
Yumir was shocked by my words, but I deliberately used the magic phrase.
If just saying ‘Is he done for?’ could revive someone like him, then he must have a way to come back to life anyway.
And.
“Ku, huhuhu, unfortunate!”
[As expected.]
These kinds of guys were always like that.
“Hahaha! You think you can kill me just like that…?”
[Listen well, Platinum Sun.]
I cut off Duoexini’s bubbling speech from his largest facial section and pointed at him to Yumir.
[When you say ‘Is he done for?’ to such guys, even if they revive, they go around bragging about their resurrection.]
[Ah. I see. No risk of a sneak attack after a secret revival?]
[Right.]
“…….”
Bubbles rose from the severed chunks, and the fragmented flesh rapidly moved towards Duoexini.
Swish!
Duoexini regained his original form.
Whether to call it regeneration or just patching up his torn flesh was ambiguous, but Duoexini had revived using his ability.
“…… Anyway, such a joyless fellow.”
[I’m not leisurely enough to find amusement in villains.]
“Tsk…! I’ll retreat for today! Now that I know who Platinum Sun is, I’ll prepare a more enjoyable festival next time!”
[Why?]
Yumir shot at Duoexini with an annoyed voice.
[Why do this? Dozens, no, hundreds have died.]
“A reason? Asking that is unnecessary. Hehe, kuhem!”
Having fully restored his body and even his clothes, Duoexini covered his face with his hand instead of the broken mask and chuckled.
“Everything is for the birth of a new hero…yaaa!”
[Why.]
Yumir instantly changed her appearance.
She transformed into a typical magical girl outfit from Japanese animation, not the Golden Priestess costume.
[If you’re just trying to provoke me because I’m wearing a hanbok-like costume, I’ll throw it away.]
“Oh, no…! I was wrong! Forgive me! Change it now, right now! Yeah! At least for a month! Until ‘that day’, I won’t show up!”
[…….]
Yumir looked at me, and I could only nod silently.
[Crazy ones like him usually keep such promises well.]
[A month…]
“Yes, yes! If it’s short, till Teacher’s Day! I’ll at least stay quiet till then!”
[Huh.]
Yumir briefly looked up at the sky, then changed back into the Golden Priestess costume.
“Haah…….”
Duoexini let out a deep sigh of relief.
He was so relieved that I thought something life-threatening had been averted.
[…Really. How did we end up dealing with such a lunatic…]
“Hehehe…. Next time we meet, I’ll create a better opportunity to shine. Except for you, Goblin!”
Duoexini raised one hand towards me and placed the other on his elbow.
“Goblin! I will definitely have my revenge! For ruining this plan, definitely!!”
[Eat shit.]
“…A compliment!”
I flipped him off, but Duoexini just stretched out his arms and raised his head.
“Farewell!”
Boom?????!
Duoexini’s body exploded.
Apparently, the regeneration was just a temporary measure for the conversation.
[That villain…]
[Can’t chase him. Doesn’t seem like he escaped at super speed, but he must have some other ability.]
Tracking him down would be a task for the future.
[Platinum Sun. Since you’re here, I have something to say.]
[I have work to do, I’ll go.]
Yumir stretched out the swords in her hands to both sides and conjured a circular magic circle in the air.
[… I’ll purify the surviving demons and return. Let’s talk later.]
[Ah. They should be gathering in one place by now.]
I approached my bike and relayed the information received through communication.
[Go to Daejeon. It seems like all the ‘sealed demons’ in the country are gathering there now.]
[I’ll be back soon.]
Whoosh.
Yumir disappeared with the light.
Beyond where the golden circle had vanished to.
Swoosh.
Two men, Namdu Chang and Kong Tae-bum, were lying on the slime they had expelled as demons, now white-haired and naked.
In the end.
Yumir.
Platinum Sun purified the demons.
[It’s going to get tougher from here.]
Therefore.
I must take even better care of Yumir’s mental state in the future.
While subtly guiding her to receive help from the secret society through this incident.
‘Are you planning to care for her and comfort her when she’s in trouble? Huh?’
[That’s the easiest and surest way.]
The easiest way.
With the Goblin’s Bat.
