My Lord Who Is Being Prudent! [EN]: Chapter 314

314. Arnaiz Gathering

Kai was at the center of the sky.

The absolute aura that erupted swept through the space, distorting and twisting it.

The moisture in the atmosphere completely evaporated due to the warped space.

The earth turned black and blazed.

The sky, when looked up at, was no longer blue.

Pure white of nothingness.

The sky was like a blank white canvas.

It looked as if snow had piled up in the sky.

The beginning where nothing existed.

In it, nothing had any meaning.

“Ughaaaaaa!!”

Conrad roared and leaped up.

Because he felt like his mind would break if he didn’t.

Conrad roared loudly and drew upon his strength.

Blue aura burst out, swirling around Conrad’s entire body.

The power that Charlotte had used a thousand years ago.

The bright blue aura added color to the colorless sky.

But only for a moment.

Kai reached out his hand and clenched it!

He grabbed something in the air.

Twisting his clenched fist left and right, Conrad’s power flowed backward and faded.

And again, kwaduk!

The storm of power that had been reversed and extinguished changed direction and struck Conrad.

Conrad’s eyes were bloodshot, and blood dripped down.

He couldn’t possibly handle the storm of power that tore through space.

Just enduring was all he could do.

No, even enduring was···!

Right at that moment.

“Persi Tu Mairgi.”

With a low voice, hwaaaak!

A pure white light pierced Kai’s body.

Kai, who had been floating in the sky, staggered greatly for a moment.

At the same time, the reversing power that had been pressing down on Conrad disappeared all at once.

Conrad fell downwards.

Kai opened his eyes slightly in surprise.

Soon, Kai’s eyes scanned the surroundings.

Looking for the source of the power from before, he turned his commanding gaze to the side.

What Kai saw was a woman with platinum blonde hair and transcendent beauty.

Aria moved her lips again.

“La Krasi Emirsa Ru─.”

With Aria’s voice, hwaaaak!

A great divine power once again suppressed Kai.

The divine language that used the power inherent in the words themselves.

【”Are you imitating me?”】

Kai muttered with indifferent eyes.

And imitation is only imitation.

【”Karsa Ri Nedir.”】

The real thing could not be beaten.

Ppakagak!

The white world that covered everything distorted, and the space where Aria was twisted strangely.

Aria hurriedly scattered the power of the divine language and moved her body.

Kai reached out his hand towards Aria and grabbed it tightly.

Kwaduk!

···With a loud noise, Aria’s movement froze.

Aria’s frozen space twisted and crumpled.

Aria burst out with the divine power she had. She struggled desperately to escape, but her body wouldn’t move.

Right then.

“Oh, the truth that flows in the immeasurable void···.”

KWAHHHHH!!!

At the same time as the chanting murmur, the space where Kai was tore apart.

The aftermath of the colliding forces burst out in all directions, and the power that had bound Aria disappeared at once.

Kwaduk! The space that contained Aria finally crumpled.

Aria was able to avoid it by a hair’s breadth.

Kai’s eyebrows furrowed slightly.

The distorted gaze reached that place.

“Oh, monarch of all things, I beseech you to hear the reason of all creation···.”

The dark elf with long black hair, Sera, was gathering magic power once again.

Kwareureung, kwareureung!

Along with the chanting, black magic power swirled around Sera.

Responding to Sera’s magic power, the World Tree, Instiz, added its power.

The power of darkness magic combined with the power of the World Tree.

The power was truly absolute, but Kai was still indifferent.

He looked down.

The body floating in the sky was commanding.

Right then.

“Where do you think you’re going!”

“Don’t forget that we’re here too!”

The dwarf with a thick beard, Semir.

The dragonkin with hard scales and claws, Karis.

Semir’s huge doom hammer and Karis’s sharp dragon claws struck Kai at the same time.

And again, Kai was indifferent.

As if dealing with two flying insects.

He simply showed the gesture of drawing his sword forward with a calm movement like a tranquil lake.

A simple sword strike swung from left to right.

But the aftermath was by no means simple.

KWAHHHHH─!

The cut space shattered completely.

The shattered fragments broke again and shot out as blades.

Thousands, tens of thousands···. Hundreds of thousands.

The countless blades rained down in all directions.

It was as if the entire space possessed murderous intent.

Pasasak!

The countless blades poured down like rain.

The pouring blades indiscriminately slashed through the space where Semir and Karis were.

And.

-Kendrick! Now’s the time!

With a great shout, Leia and Kendrick leaped up.

The exploding thoughts.

The flashing blue light in their eyes.

The two different forces rushed towards Kai.

Kai turned the direction of his sword again and struck down from top to bottom.

Seogeok─! With the sound of cutting, kwakwakwang!

The cut space burst out at once, and Leia and Kendrick were swept away and fell.

Right at that moment.

Kiiing─!

Along with a tearing tinnitus, a huge wave of magic power rippled around Kai.

The magic power drew a large ink line and soon created numerous magic circles.

Sera’s magic combined with the power of the World Tree.

“Vanish!”

Along with the chanting like a spell, kwwaang!

The spread magic power burst out at once.

The burst magic power exploded again, kwakwang!! Kwakwakwang!!

It caused a chain reaction of explosions, tearing apart the space.

Was it because of the complete chanting and the power of the World Tree?

Kai staggered and stepped back.

His face contorted, and Kai’s magic power disappeared.

The white sky regained its blue color.

Above the returned blue sky.

Red blood flowed down from Kai’s distorted mouth.

‘It’s possible.’

Seeing Kai’s appearance, Conrad thought of the possibility of victory.

The end of arrogance that humans could reach.

The existing god.

Kai’s strength was absolute, but there was a possibility.

The possibility of victory was not 0.

It was infinitely close to 0, but it was not 0.

He could win.

It was not impossible.

Conrad sparked such hope.

And the others also thought of definite hope.

And as if to shatter that hope all at once.

KWAHHHHHHHH─!!

Absolute magic power soared through Kai’s entire body.

The face of Kai who was looked at was strangely distorted.

The distorted emotion of daring came through the skin.

So that wasn’t an emotion born of anger.

It was even less an emotion like fear and dread.

Annoyance and irritation.

He could make an annoyed expression at the gnats that were rushing at him.

But that wouldn’t be an emotion born of anger.

He could show emotions like annoyance at the gnats.

But that wouldn’t be fear and dread.

So, now

【”I see things that have been eternally lost in the passing life.”】

As magic power explodes, the sky that had regained its color turns white again.

Thereby unfolding the world of nothingness.

“Augh···!”

Conrad unknowingly shut down his mind.

The density of the exploding magic power was too high.

He couldn’t maintain his mind in a world where there was no gap.

A distant existence reigning beyond the realm.

Kai was floating in the sky.

And he didn’t rush.

Clearly, Kai had the power to tear everyone apart.

He could grab their necks and twist them right now.

But Kai didn’t rush.

Slowly, very slowly.

Kai was reigning over there.

Endless arrogance (Superbia) [Latin for ‘pride,’ the ultimate sin].

That arrogance was soaring without knowing the end.

And no one could break that arrogance.

Not Conrad, nor Aria’s divine language, nor Sera’s magic power.

“Kkeueuk···.”

“Kkeuak···!”

Semir’s doom hammer too.

Karis’s sharp claws too.

-Heuheuk···!

-Keoheok···!

Leia’s thoughts too.

Kendrick’s sword too.

No one could break the arrogance soaring into the sky.

The realm to deal with was different.

There was also no confidence to confront him.

So, no fighting spirit arises.

He couldn’t even think of the hope of victory.

Thud. Thud.

Everyone knelt down one by one before the reigning god.

Corruption soaked the earth.

The good faith of the sky is gradually being eaten away.

Kai raised his hand high.

A tremendous magical power swirled above the raised hand.

Could they stop that?

Well···.

Conrad unknowingly had a pessimistic thought.

That’s how absolute Kai’s power was.

It was impossible for the people gathered here to stop him.

So, Kai reigning there was a god and also like a demon king.

And it was always like that.

In the stories in fairy tales, it was not countless armies that confronted the demon king.

So, it was not countless armies that defeated the demon king either.

Only one person.

“Demon Soul Asura Sword.”

Only one hero could defeat the demon king.

#

The voice from the distant beyond.

It was clearly heard through the sounds of this battlefield.

There was no point in thinking about who it was.

“Aren’t you··· too late.”

Conrad muttered with a smiling face.

At the same time, the color of the scenery fades.

Soon, the shapes of all things become blurred and stained with darkness.

The outline of the world collapses, and everything turns into demons.

Thus unfolding the hellscape.

Between that unrealistic sight.

Darkness darker than darkness.

A demon more vicious than a demon.

The myriad forms of the whole world began to collapse.

Demon Soul Asura Sword.

First Form.

Truth – Asura.

.

.

The world of nothingness where all things disappear.

It was already a swallowed white sky.

But the unfolded world of nothingness was returning it to nothingness again.

Thus, the sky was regaining its blue color.

Therefore, it was more accurate to say that it was returning to its original nature, not nothingness.

The one who returned the authority of God to nothingness.

-Cyan!

At the same time as Leia’s shout, Tadak, Cyan landed on the floor.

At the same time, Master! Lord! Lord! You!

Numerous titles towards Cyan were rampant.

Cyan did not respond to those gazes.

He just slowly raised his eyes and looked at Kai floating in the sky.

“It’s been a while, brother.”

Kai was still looking at Cyan with indifferent eyes.

But the atmosphere was different from the indifference just now.

Bewilderment or surprise.

There were two emotions in Kai’s eyes looking at Cyan.

Kai’s eyes, which had been directed at Cyan, briefly scanned the surroundings.

And in this battlefield, which had been full of despair until just now.

He could feel that a small hope was blooming.

With just the existence of Cyan alone.

But that was an emotion that mere insects should not harbor.

He does not allow the ridiculous hope that he can win against God.

Kai revealed his anger.

But Kai quickly managed his emotions.

With the majesty and arrogance of God, he looked down at Cyan.

【”A momentary miracle to catch your breath. But, it will be meaningless in the face of the approaching despair.”】

And the voice of Kai that is heard.

“Were you originally that kind of character?”

Cyan unknowingly asked that.

It was a question that didn’t fit the situation, but Cyan’s words just popped out.

Of course, Cyan wasn’t that close to Kai.

He was the eldest brother at one time, but he hadn’t exchanged many words.

“You’ve become quite··· cringe-worthy in the meantime?”

But I don’t think he was that kind of character···..

Well, Kai was currently the embodiment of arrogance itself.

He was also someone who was trying to become a god.

From God’s point of view, it would be truly ridiculous.

As expected, he was an existence that could be said to be arrogance itself.

【”Do you think the victory shouted while sitting in the darkness will have meaning?”】

“Are you saying that I can’t beat you, brother?”

To be honest, he couldn’t guarantee victory.

Looking at Kai’s power that he felt now, Cyan couldn’t guarantee victory.

The realm of Exceed.

It was the same even if he set foot in that realm.

Kai was not an existence that could be dealt with in the realm of Exceed.

[Demon Soul Asura Sword Top-level progress rate 93%]

Moreover, Cyan had not set foot in that realm.

So, Cyan couldn’t beat Kai alone.

“If I was alone, that would be the case.”

If he was literally alone.

But now Cyan was not alone.

In fairy tales, it is only one hero who defeats the demon king.

But the reason why the hero could defeat the demon king was not just the hero’s power alone.

Cyan calmly looked around.

Leia and Kendrick panting for breath.

Likewise, Conrad, Aria, Sera, Semir, and Karis were struggling.

All of them were looking at Cyan with determined expressions.

And these were not the end.

There were countless people fighting with the Holy Empire right now.

There were countless people fighting with Cyan.

Cyan was not fighting alone.

“My arrogant brother has been asleep for a thousand years.”

Also, although they are now dead and gone.

“The Arnaiz have been fighting for a thousand years.”

They risked their lives and left behind.

The maintenance of the Arnaiz that has been passed down through generations was here together.

The maintenance of Karze sleeping inside Cyan was also together.

But maybe.

“We may lose at the end of this fight.”

Also, this fight may not be the end.

Because demons were immortal beings who do not die.

Because they were beings who lived by parasitizing on the sins of existence.

So, someday in the distant future.

In that distant future where Cyan is not there.

“A world ruled by demons may come.”

As long as we are alive.

As long as beings lead their lives.

Demons are constantly resurrected.

So, someday demons may win.

“But that will not be the case in this era.”

But that day will not be today.

Cyan gripped the Sword of Annihilation and took a step forward.

Behind such Cyan, the people who followed that will stood.

“I haven’t neglected training.”

First of all, Conrad, the descendant of Charlotte.

Conrad clenched the Zodiac Sword and strengthened his will to fight.

From such Conrad, the appearance of one being overlapped.

In the past, Charlotte, the leader of the Arnaiz.

Conrad inherited the pride of that Charlotte and is here now.

《Charlotte’s last maintenance is passed down to her descendants!》

He was standing in this place.

《Charlotte’s belief descends!》

《Arnaiz perk temporarily evolves into !》

『

[Effect] – The physical abilities of Charlotte’s descendants increase by +1,000,000%.』

.

.

KWAHHHHHHHH─!!

A terrible force explodes throughout Conrad’s body.

Next to such Conrad, Aria followed.

“I told you to lean on this sister when things are hard and difficult.”

Aria, the reincarnation and descendant of Muriel.

《Muriel’s last maintenance is passed down to her descendants!》

《Muriel’s divinity fills up!》

《Arnaiz perk temporarily evolves into !》

『

[Effect] – The divine efficiency of Muriel’s descendants increases by +1,000,000%.』

.

.

Hwaaaak!!

The light of divinity shining brilliantly.

“I don’t like fighting··· but there are times when I have to fight.”

After that, Sera, the descendant of Elodie, stood.

《Elodie’s last maintenance is passed down to her descendants!》

《Elodie’s magic power boils!》

《Arnaiz perk temporarily evolves into !》

『

[Effect] – The magic power amplification of Elodie’s descendants increases by +1,000,000%.』

.

.

“Luben is our home.”

Semir, the descendant of Morkru.

《Morkru’s last maintenance is passed down to his descendants!》

《Morkru’s patience fills up!》

《Arnaiz perk temporarily evolves into !》

『

[Effect] – The efficiency of the equipment worn by Morkru’s descendants increases by +1,000,000%.』

.

.

“The beastmen will no longer run away.”

Karis, the descendant of Noemi.

《Noemi’s last maintenance is passed down to her descendants!》

《Noemi’s spirits react!》

《Arnaiz perk temporarily evolves into !》

『

[Effect] – The mana efficiency of Noemi’s descendants increases by +1,000,000%.』

.

.

The brilliant power emitted by the five heroes.

【”······!”】

Kai’s eyes widened greatly at that distant power.

Soon, memories of the old past flashed across his astonished face.

Over the past thousand years, demons have been constantly resurrected.

And the descendants of the Arnaiz have also continued to exist.

Charlotte, Muriel, Elodie, Morkru, Noemi.

They have existed for the past thousand years, leaving behind their descendants.

But only one person was an exception.

The strongest Arnaiz, Kyle.

Only Cyan was the only descendant of Kyle.

So, they couldn’t be complete.

But now.

《Number of Arnaiz gathered: 6》

《All Arnaiz have gathered beyond the millennium!》

Ding!

《’Special Effect – Arnaiz Gathering’ temporarily evolves into !》

『

[Condition] – All Arnaiz gathered.

[Effect] – The perk effects of the activated Arnaiz are shared by all Arnaiz, not just individuals!』

.

.

Hwaaaak!!

The golden light that burst out became even stronger once again.

Beyond the sun, continuously, continuously.

The light burned so brilliantly that the light leaked through even when he closed his eyes.

The power felt between the lights also continued to grow.

The power beyond that could not be defined.

There was one power that was clearly felt even among those transcendent powers.

《Kyle’s fate is passed down to his descendants!》

《Arnaiz perk temporarily evolves!》

Ding!

『

[Effect] – Nullifies all divine powers of the opponent.』

.

.

KWAHHHHHHHH─!!!

A power that is difficult to explain explodes.

The space caught in the power is twisted, deformed, and distorted.

Thus, it was forcing two choices on Kai.

Death or escape.

【”What···!”】

It can’t··· be.

Kai exclaimed in astonishment.

Kai is an existence who has risen to the ranks of God himself.

But how could mere creations···!

Kai constantly denied the rising thoughts.

But it doesn’t shake off.

The only thought that comes to mind is that he cannot dare to oppose that power.

Kai eventually faltered without realizing it.

He was stepping back.

Above Kai’s figure that was stepping back.

──.

Something unrecognizable just passed by.

Demon Soul Asura Sword

Third Form.

Quick Soul Riot Dance.
