My Lord Who Is Being Prudent! [EN]: Chapter 253

253. Feint Attack (2)

The unfolded world of nothingness.

Everything within the space returned to nothing.

More precisely, the space itself was reverting to a world of nothingness.

But… that didn’t make sense.

Space is the most fundamental element and law constituting the world.

It’s possible to break or shatter space, but not to revert it to nothingness.

That would be the same as reverting the laws of the world to nothing.

Therefore, the moment that becomes possible, it’s no longer something to be judged within the realm of cognition.

Transcendence of law.

Magicians expressed it that way.

Truly an unbelievable sight.

【Kkyaaaaaaaaak…!!!!】

Thus, this scream that is now being heard.

People could understand how absurd even this scream was.

Originally, even a scream shouldn’t be heard.

It shouldn’t be possible to scream.

The very existence screaming should have returned to nothing.

And it was also possible to know what would have happened if this being screaming didn’t exist.

【Kkyaaaaaaaaaaaaaak…!!!】

The scream, as if shaking the mind, continued incessantly.

Durak, Kai, and the White Wolf Knights’ gazes naturally turned towards the source of the scream.

What they saw was the figure of a human woman.

A woman who was frail, weak even.

However, none of those gathered there thought so.

The woman was frantically twisting her blood-soaked body.

Joints were bending in directions they couldn’t possibly bend.

The body twisted in movements that no human could ever make.

【Kkyaaaaaaaaaaaaaak…!!!】

The scream was constantly erupting from the woman’s mouth.

The horrific scream continued for quite some time.

And during that time, no one moved, no one spoke.

Surprise, bewilderment, shock, horror, fear.

They could only look at the woman and the collapsing world of nothingness with faces and expressions filled with various emotions.

How much time had passed like that?

Around the time they couldn’t even feel the realm of cognition.

The collapsing world of nothingness regained its place.

The blurred colors returned, and the outline of the collapsed world was drawn.

【Haa…! Haa…! Keueuk…!】

The woman’s scream also began to stabilize.

However, only her face was grotesquely distorted.

【Haa…! How dare…! How dare…!】

The woman… that is, Nurvia, covered her face with one hand and shouted.

The memory from just now.

And the human named Cyan.

The power Cyan unleashed was truly astonishing.

There was no other way to express it.

And even Nurvia was helpless before that power.

Especially in a state where her power was restricted, there was even less she could do.

That’s why Nurvia shouldn’t be alive right now.

Far from screaming, she should have been reverted to the world of nothingness and vanished.

Nevertheless, the reason Nurvia was still alive was simple.

The Holy Relic.

More precisely, it was because she had partially released the seal on the Holy Relic.

In a fleeting moment, Nurvia partially released the seal on the Holy Relic.

And accordingly, she was able to regain some of her restricted power.

Of course, it was only a portion, but even that portion was enough.

Nurvia was able to resist the unfolded world of nothingness.

No, to be exact, it was the opposite.

She could have killed him instead.

It was an astonishing power, but the one who unleashed it, Cyan, was not astonishing.

He couldn’t properly control or handle this astonishing power.

It reminded her of the nightmare from a thousand years ago, but that was it.

That human was not him.

The absolute being who was the nightmare and terror of the demons.

Compared to that human, Cyan was too pathetic.

That’s why she could kill him. Nurvia could definitely kill Cyan.

She could end the nightmare by killing that bastard here.

【If it weren’t for that damn vessel’s interference! Until the end!!!】

The vessel’s interference that had been going on for over 200 years.

A human who couldn’t even live for 100 years, yet an unbelievable mental strength.

【But why the hell is this bitch!!】

This was all because of that bastard, Cyan.

The vessel’s spirit that should have surrendered originally.

The spirit that would have given up everything at that time, surrendered, and disappeared.

But it didn’t surrender. It told her to wait and babbled some nonsense, and instead, it became an even stronger spirit.

As a result, her power was restricted at a crucial moment.

And as a result, she missed Cyan.

This was all. It was all because of Cyan.

Because of that damn human.

【I’ll kill you…!!!!】

Terrible rage erupted from Nurvia’s entire body.

A demon named Sloth.

But the rage that was now erupting was no different from the demon of Wrath.

Boiling rage and malice.

【Haa…! Haa…!】

However, Nurvia managed to regain her composure.

She was still angry that Cyan had turned the tables on her.

She was even more furious that she had missed Cyan.

But it was okay. After all, she had achieved her goal.

She had finally obtained the Holy Relic with its sealed power.

If she only had that, everything would be over.

Cyan was nothing.

【The Holy Relic…! Where is the Holy Relic!!】

Nurvia shouted as if she was scolding.

But the people had no answer.

Just as Nurvia was about to explode with anger again.

Kai moved his body, trudging.

And headed towards the place where he had put the Holy Relic earlier.

Taking one step, two steps.

When he reached the place where the Holy Relic was placed.

“…!”

In an instant, Kai’s eyes widened.

The emotion of bewilderment was clearly etched on Kai’s face.

The sight that Kai was seeing now.

“The Holy Relic… has disappeared.”

The Holy Relic was nowhere to be found.

#

The scenery of a lush forest.

This place where grass that reached well over the waist was draped all around.

“At this point… they won’t be able to follow.”

Only then could Cyan stop walking.

The distance he had run away using Mahon Muyeongbo [a technique for moving stealthily] to the extreme.

Even with the effects of to some extent.

It was unlikely that any pursuit would catch up.

In the first place, Cyan didn’t even know where this was.

More than anything, they wouldn’t have the mind to chase.

Cyan was finally able to let go of his tension.

“Ugh…!”

As the tension was released, terrible pain surged through his entire body.

Slowly examining his body condition, it was a sight to behold.

All the muscles that had been strained were ruptured and torn.

The joints didn’t move as he wanted, as if each one was broken.

He wondered how he had even moved this far.

Cyan took out emergency medicine from his inventory.

He applied Ellie’s special healing medicine to the wounded area.

He sprinkled Jerry’s special potion on top of it and drank the remaining amount.

And as expected, was it Ellie and Jerry?

“Haa… I feel a little better.”

The effects were appearing quickly.

The ruptured muscles were recovering, and the broken joints were being reconnected.

Of course, it was only first aid, but his condition had improved significantly.

“Seriously, this recoil is real….”

Mahon Sura Sword’s First Form, Asura.

Its power was truly transcendent, but the recoil from using that power was also truly transcendent.

“But I thought I could withstand it to some extent.”

That was because he had not only achieved 100% of the Mahon Jebeop [a powerful magical technique].

Cyan had grown quite a bit since the last time he used it.

But even so, he couldn’t control it.

He couldn’t control the rampant magical energy.

“Well… this time, Muriel’s Blessing was added, though.”

Well… there was a good reason for that.

Asura, which was unleashed while splitting the fleeting world.

On top of that, he had pushed the power of Megingjörð [a belt that doubles the wearer’s strength] to the limit.

“It’s a wonder I didn’t pass out.”

Thinking about it, it was a miracle he hadn’t passed out.

“I wonder when I’ll be free from this recoil….”

Cyan sighed softly.

After a brief moment of contemplation passed.

“More than that… Nurvia was there.”

Cyan could recall what had happened earlier.

The demon of Sloth who appeared at the end, Nurvia.

It was a sudden appearance, but he could guess the reason.

“It must be because of the Holy Relic.”

The Holy Relic of Muriel and the Holy Relic imbued with the power of the Arnaizes.

This Holy Relic was playing the role of sealing the demons’ power.

That’s why Cyan targeted the Holy Relic first.

At first, he had targeted Nurvia.

However, the uncontrolled power couldn’t completely deal with Nurvia.

Of course, it was true that Nurvia had suffered a considerable blow.

It could be said that she had suffered a near-fatal wound.

“My body was in this shape too.”

But Cyan was the same. The recoil from using Asura was too extreme.

It was truly a stroke of luck that he hadn’t passed out.

It was impossible to continue the fight there any longer.

More than anything, Durak, Kai, and the White Wolf Knights remained.

So, after unleashing Asura, the unfolded world of nothingness.

Cyan took the Holy Relic and left the scene based on the remaining buff.

Thus, the Holy Relic was now in Cyan’s hand.

“For some reason, it didn’t even go into the inventory.”

Cyan examined the Holy Relic in detail.

A sphere shining with brilliant golden light.

The inside of the sphere was transparent, and something was moving around inside.

It looked like some kind of soul, and depending on how you looked at it, it felt like some kind of remnant of power.

Right then.

Ding!

A cheerful smartphone notification sound came from his pocket.

“What is it?”

Cyan swallowed his question and took out his smartphone.

And he could see a notification window that had popped up on the screen.

『[Story Main Linked Quest] – ‘Unfinished Question’ (Cleared!)』

“… Huh?”

Cyan wondered what this was.

#

Rachel calmly organized her thoughts.

“So… you’re saying that Cyan and Ruben’s forces are here?”

Durak nodded lightly.

Rachel calmly looked around at the surrounding scenery.

In fact, there was no scenery to speak of. She couldn’t see anything.

Originally, there was a lush forest, but there was no trace of it.

It was as if it had been a space of nothingness from the beginning.

“This scenery is the trace of that battle.”

Durak nodded once again.

Rachel thought for a moment and then opened her mouth again.

“The Holy Relic… was it also taken away?”

And this time, Durak didn’t nod.

But he didn’t shake his head either.

A reaction with an unknown meaning.

But Rachel knew what that meant.

“Oh my….”

That’s why the shock Rachel received was severe.

She knew. What kind of existence Cyan was.

The existence called the best in all time, past and present.

She knew very well that he was walking that path.

But she didn’t know it would be to this extent.

Truly amazing, there was no other way to express it.

Rachel slowly turned her head.

In her view, Nurvia was clutching her head with both hands.

The hair that was messed up haphazardly looked like a mad person at first glance.

【I’ll kill you. I’ll kill you. I’ll kill you. I’ll kill you. I’ll kill you.】

She was actually acting like a mad person.

She heard that… Nurvia had stood in the way.

She didn’t know how she had created this absurd scenery.

But that power must have been truly transcendent.

Nurvia protected Elandur against that transcendent power.

Protected Elandur…?.

Rachel chuckled.

Because it was a ridiculous expression.

What kind of low-quality joke was this?

Humans were nothing more than tools or sacrifices.

Nevertheless, Nurvia stood against that power.

Even though she could have disappeared, she fearlessly stood against this power.

As a result, the White Wolf Knights, as well as Durak and Kai, were able to be safe.

Kai Elandur.

Yes, Kai was able to be safe.

Rachel looked at Kai, who was standing alone in one corner.

What was he thinking?

Kai’s emotionless eyes were sunken.

【Find him. Find him right now!!!】

At that moment, Nurvia’s voice was heard from the side.

Nurvia exploded with tremendous anger and strode towards Rachel.

Rachel felt as if her mind was aching from the burst of anger.

Was this the demon of Sloth or the demon of Wrath?

Rachel shook her head and said.

“It’s impossible to track Cyan right now.”

You could tell just by looking at the current situation.

To be exact, you could tell by looking at the level of Cyan who created this scene.

If Cyan decided to hide, they wouldn’t be able to find him.

【I don’t need it! I don’t need anything! I’m going to kill that bastard no matter what!!!】

But rational thinking didn’t work for Nurvia.

Really, where could you see this as the demon of Sloth?

“Calm down. Chasing Cyan right now is meaningless.”

【Are you saying we should just leave it like this? In the first place, that bastard took the Holy Relic!】

Well… that was true.

Cyan ran away with the Holy Relic, and they had to find Cyan in some way.

But chasing Cyan was still impossible.

But.

“Don’t worry. Even if we don’t find him, he’ll come and find us on his own.”

【… What?】

“It’s not just Cyan alone here right now, is it?”

None other than Ruben’s soldiers.

She heard that they had retreated separately during the battle.

In other words, they were separated from Cyan.

“If they’re hiding, we have to make them crawl out on their own.”

【What is that…?】

“I have a way. So, Sloth, please take care of yourself first. In that state… it seems meaningless to fight Cyan.”

To be a little more honest, she was anxious.

To be exact, it would be more accurate to say that it was beyond her expectations.

Rachel didn’t know that Cyan would grow to this extent.

She couldn’t imagine that he would make Nurvia like this.

No matter how much the vessel interfered, the 6 Demon Lords were still the 6 Demon Lords.

Greed, Envy, Wrath, Lust, Gluttony, Sloth.

The six demons who awakened from that sin.

The absolute evil that had dyed the entire continent with fear.

So, it was really an absurd thought.

But Rachel was uneasy with Nurvia alone.

If she had brought the Holy Relic, she wouldn’t have worried, but….

It was still a meaningless assumption.

Therefore, even if she drew Cyan in, confronting him was a separate issue.

But well… there was no big worry about this either.

【Disappointing, Nurvia.】

A certain voice was heard in an instant.

It was a voice that felt the same malice as Nurvia.

But it wasn’t Nurvia’s.

A terrible malice that felt like it was piercing the end of her skin.

【To be faltering over just one human….

In it, she felt an infinite hunger.

#

『[Story Main Linked Quest] – ‘Unfinished Question’ (Cleared!)』

A quest clear that was sudden to the point of being absurd.

“Ah.”

But Cyan was able to understand the situation quickly.

“The quest was to find the Holy Relic, right.”

In the first place, the quest goal was to find the Holy Relic.

And that Holy Relic was now in Cyan’s hand.

“Wait, then the reward too?”

Ding!

《Quest achievement reward is being given!》

As expected, he was able to obtain the reward for clearing it.

Cyan’s mind went blank for a moment.

It was a quest that was suddenly achieved, but he knew what the reward was.

It was none other than Kyle’s Legacy and Noemi’s Legacy.

It was truly a reward with tremendous value.

In Cyan’s experience, it was the most valuable reward as a quest reward.

In the first place, there was no way that the Arnaizes’ Legacy wouldn’t be valuable.

Cyan waited for the Mobile Lord’s notification window with a dazed mind.

How much time had passed like that?

First, the reward information related to Kyle’s Legacy appeared.

《Grants the qualification to acquire Extreme Demonic Limbs (極魔肢體)!》

“Extreme Demonic Limbs?”

Without mixing in a single joke, it was the first time he had ever heard of it.

And as if knowing Cyan’s thoughts, related information reappeared.

『Extreme Demonic Limbs (極魔肢體) <1 Star> – The body evolves by receiving the power of the origin imbued in the demon (魔). [1 Star Effect] – Efficiency and effectiveness related to the demon (魔) increases by +3,000%.』

.

.

It seemed that the body would be able to handle magical energy more easily.

The effect was a whopping +3,000%.

In other words, the efficiency and effectiveness of the magical energy handled by the Mahon Jebeop would increase by 30 times.

“Crazy….”

These words couldn’t help but come out.

In fact, it could be said to be the ultimate body for those who handle the demon (魔).

And seeing that it was 1 star, it seemed that it could be steadily increased to 2 stars and 3 stars.

“Crazy….”

Again, these words leaked out on their own.

But that was only for a moment.

“Ah… but it’s a little disappointing.”

Cyan felt disappointed.

Of course, it wasn’t that the effect itself was disappointing.

The effect was so crazy that it could be said that he had lost his mind.

“There’s no point in increasing magical energy in the current situation….”

However, it didn’t match Cyan’s current situation.

That was because the current magical energy was overflowing.

In other words, Simgiche (心氣體) [Mind, Energy, Body].

Sim (心) [Mind], enlightenment.

Gi (氣) [Energy], magical power.

Che (體) [Body], body.

There was nothing to touch in the realm of Sim (心) [Mind].

The mysteries and enlightenment imbued in the Mahon Sura Sword were already complete.

It was a question of whether Cyan could melt that enlightenment into the sword.

There was also no problem with Gi (氣) [Energy].

The Mahon Jebeop was already more than enough, and if he acquired Extreme Demonic Limbs (極魔肢體), there was nothing to talk about.

However, it wasn’t Che (體) [Body]. That is, the body.

Currently, Cyan’s Che (體) [Body] realm was significantly behind compared to Sim (心) [Mind] and Gi (氣) [Energy].

Even just the Asura (阿修羅) that he unleashed against Nurvia earlier was like that.

Cyan couldn’t control the rampant magical energy.

And he couldn’t fully accept the aftermath of the recoil either.

Of course, the influence of Megingjörð was also there.

But Cyan couldn’t handle the recoil of Asura.

The reason why he fainted every time he used a stance was also for this reason.

It was also the reason why he didn’t take elixirs or other elixirs even though he had accumulated a lot of mileage.

So, Cyan was constantly training his body.

But there was still a limit.

Unlike the other two realms, the body needed an absolute time to grow.

Of course, he was receiving a growth buff, but this also had a limit.

Perhaps it could be said to be the limit that a human being has.

Well, he was somehow enduring it now…

If he thought about the higher-level Mahon Sura Sword beyond Asura (阿修羅), there were many problems.

No, he had to worry about how to deal with Nurvia right now.

The demon of Sloth was too strong.

So, right now, the realm of Gi (氣) [Energy].

In other words, the amplification of magical energy didn’t mean much.

“Of course, it’s better than nothing….”

It wasn’t very useful in Cyan’s current situation.

No, it could be that he was being given power that he couldn’t handle.

Perhaps he wouldn’t be able to control the recoil and his body would be shattered instead of simply fainting.

While swallowing his worries and regrets at the same time.

Ding!

Information about Noemi’s Legacy following Kyle’s Legacy appeared on the screen.

《Grants the qualification to acquire Soul of Dragon!》

“Soul of… Dragon?”

This was also the first time he had heard of it.

However, unlike the previous Extreme Demonic Limbs (極魔肢體), it was familiar.

Noemi, a beastman and a dragonkin (龍人族) [dragon person] with the characteristics of a dragon.

It seemed to be a reward related to that….

Soon, related information reappeared on the screen.

『Soul of Dragon – The body evolves by absorbing the power of the dragon.

[Effect] – Strengthens the body’s strength to the level of a dragon.』

.

.

“… Huh?”

Cyan’s eyes widened without him even realizing it.
