161 Part 1

Chapter 161 As a Demon (3)

Of course, I would not be able to beat the old king and could only buy some time . Even that may not be possible . I stared at him, and he was looking at me with surprised eyes .

“So, it was you . I wondered why my daughter was acting out of character . She had strayed because of having bad friends . ”

“You bastard . ”

I did not know if he acknowledged Jang Ye Ri as his daughter, and his voice was warm when considering he had been about to rape her . While I had seen many crazy people in this world, he had to be one of the most extreme .

The old king was still holding Jang Ye Ri’s arm and looked like he was thinking of a plan . I wanted him to focus on me, as him fighting me while holding Jang Ye Ri may cause problems .

“All right . If I brutally killed you in front of her eyes, my daughter would realize her position . I will crush your arms and rip your legs so you will crawl on the ground . I will take out those dirty horns and gouge your eyes to throw at the forest beasts . ”

“……”

I could see the madness in Jang Gi Young’s eyes, but he was off his guard, which was only natural . I was much weaker than him, and he knew it .

I could last for five minutes and ten at the maximum . It would be enough for Jang Ye Ri to heal and return to battle . While my role was shabby despite what I had said, it was still what I had to do .

The old king threw Jang Ye Ri on the ground and slowly approached me . While I thought of saying something to buy some time, his mad eyes did not seem to be looking at me .

Since Jang Gi Young did not use weapons, it was more difficult to fight . Jang Ye Ri was behind him, and while he would ignore her before killing me, the fact that she was behind him was an unstable factor . I sneered as I opened my mouth at the old king . I spoke like how Kim Taesung had joked in the back alleys .

“About your son . ”

“……?”

“Yes, your stupid son . You seem to be quite attached to your children, and he must be a failure . ”

Jang Gi Young stared at me without saying anything .

“It’s strange that while your daughter is quite competent in my eyes, your son is stupid . ”

“You…”

If he was not an idiot, Jang Gi Young would understand what I was insinuating, and I continued to speak as his face contorted in anger .

“Perhaps the father is the problem instead of the mother . I do not know what human beings think, but our race regards your situation like this . ”

I smirked after speaking .

“That your seed is inferior . ”

“How dare you . . !”

Jang Gi Young emitted magic unconsciously, and my provocation seemed to have worked . He would be angry as I seemed to have touched his soft spot .

“I will kill you!”

His face came near me as I stared at him .

‘Damn . ’

I lifted my longsword in reflex and jumped a step backward . However, he continued to chase me, and I was undecided whether to avoid or block his punch . I thought about swapping with the Ancient Flame to obstruct his path, but it would be ineffective . His body would somehow crush his way through .

He swung his fist with an astounding amount of magic, and I avoided it by bending back . I could not avoid the second attack, so I protected myself with the longsword .

With a crashing sound, I felt a heavy tremor run over my body, and the shock from the sword was beyond my expectations . I almost let go of the sword for an instant, and one hit was enough to make me feel faint .

The one good thing was that my body was lifted and went through the wall . While I felt some pain in the back, it was much better than being hit by Jang Gi Young’s punch . I also put some distance between us, and I moved instead of remaining still . I wiped the blood from my mouth with one hand and threw a dagger at him .

“Mere tricks!”

As I changed the weapon to a fully charged longsword, it stabbed the old king’s shoulder . While it was a critical hit, the damage was weak . While I did not hope for penetration, it was disappointing to see that I only landed a scratch .

However, there was no time to lament, as I continued to move to avoid his punches . I understood why Jang Ye Ri had fought like that since going head to head with a fighter like this was suicide . He was a monster .

I took out the Ancient Flame and shot heat and fire to him, and while the heat was enough to melt, there was no reaction . I could only manage some jabs while avoiding his attacks .

Jang Gi Young had to have a weakness . While I could not win, I could at least endure .

“You rat!!”

I could see Jang Gi Young approach me screaming as he broke things, and he seemed to be on a rampage due to being overexcited .

While I did not have much magic left, I had to summon the Dainsleif . While I was not certain whether I could fill the necessary amount of blood, I summoned the weapon .

[Dainsleif – The item effect is activated . ]

The sword appeared out of nowhere, and I shot the blood falling to the ground towards the old king . While he was not damaged, I could at least block him a bit .

161 Part 2

I moved quickly to the back and wounded myself with the Dainsleif . The item effect did not designate the blood had to be the enemy’s, and it seemed that I could control blood spilled from my own body . I blocked his punch with a shield made of my blood .

While the squelching sound was irritating, I did block the attack . I immediately changed the shield to a thorn and hit the old king’s body . There was again no damage, and when I changed the weapon to the Ancient Flame and his arm with a critical hit, he began to spill blood, unlike before .

‘It’s deep . ’

The wound was not a scratch, and his body was growing weaker . However, the old king’s punch swung to my side .

‘I’ll be hit . ’

I had no magic to summon the Aegis, and while I created another blood shield, the punch went through it and hit me on my side . While I had protected myself as much as I could with magic, it felt like my bones had broken and my guts had burst . I felt faint as another punch came from the opposite side . While I was knocked on the ground, I raised my body by instinct .

‘I will die . ’

While my sight was blurred, it was certain I would die if Jang Gi Young landed another hit . There was still some time before Jang Ye Ri would come . A way to endure or a way to win . Laughably, what came to my mind as I thought of a way was the ‘Queen of the North,’ or that tutorial battle . I grabbed the rotten wooden long spear with a deep breath .

It was quiet . I was barely managing to stand with the spear, but I slowly put it forth .

‘It’s an imitation . ’

I had stronger physical specs than her at the battle, but I had lost .

‘I have to imitate her . ’

I put myself into position and prepared to fend off a critical hit .

‘Die! You inferior being!”

Jang Gi Young seemed to have remembered what I had said, and I let his attacks flow . I stepped back and swung my spear . While he would knock it out with his punches, I used the recoil to step back again .

I had to maintain distance and did not need to meet him with all my strength . I would look for an opportunity and would flip the situation when he thought he had approached me .

I changed between the spear and Dainsleif while aiming for a critical hit . I saw his shield break, and he would feel some burden . It was not enough since I could not put strength behind my spear . While he swung his leg toward my calves when charging me, I jumped up by ramming the spear in the ground .

It was the same way I had been attacked, but I had not realized it . I fended his punch with a blood thorn and stepped back by using the spear . I felt vacant, but my body was moving .

I managed to block his path and avoid his attacks with only a sliver . I could hear Jang Gi Young screaming .

“You damn eel!”

Was this how being one with my spear felt? I felt in my bones how the spear would spring, how to use the rebound, how to move my body, and how the old king will attack . I glared at him as I pierced him with my spear, and it was when his punch was swinging towards me .

His arm spurted blood . I had managed to last longer than I had thought, and I smiled while he stared at his body in surprise . The old king was not looking at me anymore, as he realized that I was not a direct threat .

Jang Ye Ri was the one wounding the old king’s body, and it did not take Jang Gi Young long to realize that as several cutting attacks rushed at him .

While it was not enough to severe, there was blood . As the old king clucked his tongue, I saw Jang Ye Ri holding the Reaper’s scythe .

The battle between the young queen and the old king was quite amazing .

‘He’s strong . ’

Jang Gi Young was strong after regaining his composure, and Jang Ye Ri also did not allow him to come too near her . It was amazing to see her scythe and his punches crash into each other .

I looked at them with admiring eyes despite myself, and the witch’s beasts rushed with their fangs as the old king ripped them apart .

I looked at Jang Ye Ri with magic in my eyes . She did not blink, and she cast spells with her mouth and a hand while the other arm swung the scythe . Her movements were fluid, and Jang Ye Ri managed to do what would not be possible even with two brains .

It seemed that she had entered the state I had entered, and the old king had more wounds . I stared agape at the battle of a quality I had never seen before .

While the old king’s fist crushed Jang Ye Ri’s shoulder with a scream, she did not stop swinging her scythe with one hand . She let out a shout that I had seen for the first time and continued to attack Jang Gi Young .

“You…you bitch!”

She was using her magic to the max, and they were close to each other . However, Jang Ye Ri did not step back as she rushed forward with clenched teeth .

She was moving forward and becoming stronger . I could not hear her voice anymore, and I felt a great shock . It seemed that Dainsleif’s penalty had come .

While my eyes blurred, I stared on to ingrain the fight in my eyes and carve their movements in my brain . I gratefully could see Jang Ye Ri stand with her scythe when I finally fell on the ground .
