Chapter 284: Reunion (3)

Late post! Anyway, ‘Sage King’s Cross Sword’ has been changed to ‘Holy King’s Cross Sword.’

Terms used in this episode:

Bus – Korean gaming term wherein a higher-level character helps a lower-level character from leveling up. The higher-level character is “driving the bus” while the lower-level character is “riding the bus.”

Red Moon Leisegang was a legend.

On the day of his descent to the human world, he claimed 3,727 lives.

In just one month, ten cities were burned to the ground, and in less than three months, one country was completely destroyed.

He was the king of vampires.

On the ground filled with ashes, numerous undead rose.

It spread like a plague, scattering death, pain, and fear to the world.

Lots of people lost their lives.

As a Great Demon from Hell, he had no interest in taking over the earth. What Leisegang wanted was just more death and suffering, so he devoured everything.

Death was the only fate given to those who entered his realm.

The Solari denomination could not tolerate Leisegang’s atrocities.

The denomination had already weakened from their battle with the demons, but they had a trump card to defeat Leisegang.

Paladin Gallus.

Solari’s last champion.

Leisegang was a legend until the very end.

Gallus, who was called the strongest champion of that time, faced Leisegang alone. He cornered the Great Demon from Hell with his human body.

But there were limitations in the end.

Although Gallus sacrificed his own life, he was unable to kill Leisegang in the end.

Gallus died and Leisegang survived, though seriously wounded.

[On the day I return – I wonder if you’ll be able to stop me then.]

Leisegang left those words just before he was sealed by the Solari denomination.

He laughed at the humans who desperately sealed him because they had no means to kill him.

I’ll be back.

I’ll be back to burn you again.

I’ll cover the whole world with death and fear that even the sun in the sky will be overshadowed.

It was both a curse and a prophecy.

And hundreds of years later.

At the present.

“Everyone! Let’s go!”

Teenagers energetically responded to the cheerful shout.

Each shouted and showed off their skills.

“Oppa!”

“OOOH!”

The small hand of Red Wind held Sun Song’s big hand.

The two naturally interlaced their fingers, looking straight ahead as they shouted.

“The song of war ignites the flames of the earth!”

“Great Storm! Become a strong wind and sweep the earth!”

It was both a song and a spell.

A prayer to god, a creed to uphold his commands.

[KIAAAAAAAA-!]

The bird of flame screeched. It exerted its power at the behest of its master.

“Pierce through!”

“Crimson Flames Combo Attack!”

As Sun Song and Red Wind stood facing each other, the bird of flame turned into a single arrow.

The arrow became a sword of flame and was wrapped with a strong wind before rushing towards Leisegang!

[KEUAAAAAAA!]

The bird of flame pierced through the chest of Leisegang who was weakened by Bellastin’s magic circle.

No, it wasn’t just Bellastin’s magic circle. Leisegang had already been weakened from being sealed for a long time by the Solari denomination.

“Awesome!”

Kajsa heartily laughed as she watched the spectacular flames scattering, and then kicked the ground. She transformed Grand Order into a gigantic shield sword and made a huge movement.

She utilized her superhuman strength to strike his leg, though it was more of a blow than a slash to his chest.

“Mountain Breaker!”

[KEUAAAAA!]

Leisegang was hit in the shin and screamed in pain. But this much was still nothing to him.

Jude ran. The green flames that rose from his hands turned into black flames that let out an immense energy.

The Supreme Sun Divine Art.

And Valencia’s swordsmanship style.

Led to the creation of the Black Wings Valiant Sword.

The power of the Black Sun was added to Valencia’s beautiful swordsmanship.

It was clearly the power of the sun though it was colored black, so it was incompatible for Leisegang who was the king of vampires that were weak to the sun.

[AAAAAAH!]

Leisegang’s side was cut and dark red blood gushed out.

The black flames stuck to the wound and endlessly burned, inflicting excruciating pain to Leisegang.

[KEUAAA! AAAAH! AAAAAAAH!]

It was not just a simple slash wound. It felt like a part of his body had been torn off.

[UUUUGH!]

But he could still endure it.

He could withstand it.

No matter how weakened he was, Leisegang was still a Demon Prince.

He would endure it.

He would overcome it.

The magic circle that pressed his entire body was starting to lose its strength at this moment. The seal was also crumbling due to the cracks that spread from the successive unsealing.

So he had to endure.

He would somehow endure and withstand it.

Until the chains would break.

Until the seal of the Solari denomination that imprisoned him would break!

“Monster! Stop daydreaming! I’ll punish you right here and now!”

Lucas shouted with a serious expression at that moment.

He was happy with the fact that he had recited a line from Biltwein the Hero, and enhanced it by adding a holy aura to Dragon Sword Ascalon.

“Holy King’s Cross Sword.”

He even recited the technique name.

He couldn’t bring out Ascalon’s true power because he lacked the Dragon Factor, but he continued to speak.

“Holy Spirit Special Move.”

Ascalon’s blade shone white. It was a divine power that was incompatible for demons from Hell.

“GO! Holy! Spirit! Flash!”

Lucas shouted it per word before he rushed forward.

Although Leisegang’s limbs were tied up and he was unable to move, his size was enormous and the energy he exuded was terrifying. Add to that was Lucas’ dash, and that was enough to recreate a scene from the hero novel.

[AAAAAAH!]

The king’s holy sword.

Holy Spirit Flash slashed the thigh of Leisegang who screamed in pain again. The wound didn’t burn like Jude’s slash, but his slash clearly went through the bone.

But it was then.

“Lord Lucas! You were a little fast in the end! Slow down the release of your aura by a second!”

“Yes! I understand!”

Lucas nodded at Jude’s advice, and once again concentrated his holy aura on Ascalon.

And he used Holy Spirit Flash again!

“Ooooh! Much better!”

Kajsa exclaimed in awe. A much bigger wound than before was left on Leisegang’s thigh.

“Awesome!”

“As expected of Lucas!”

“Clap, clap, clap!”

“Haha, I’m embarrassed.”

[You bugs!]

Who do you think I am?

No, what the hell are you doing in front of me!

He was angry.

He was really angry.

What surprised him more was the fact that these young people’s attacks were properly hurting him one by one.

[I-… I-…]

“Shut up!”

Cordelia raised both Moonlight and Magic Blaster at the same time. Instead of using magic on Leisegang’s mouth, she intended to shut his mouth by force.

“Here goes!”

What she would use now was the magic of the sun.

A holy power of Solari that she learned from Lena!

“My heart resonates!”

A heat enough to burn.

I will do a bright yellow sprint!

“Sunlight Yellow Overdrive!”

T/N: A reference to the protagonist of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure. This is Jonathan Joestar’s lines when he uses his final attack, Sunlight Yellow Overdrive. The author only changed the part of “The beat of my blood is razor-sharp.” into “I will do a bright yellow sprint.” Bright Yellow Ripple Sprint is the literal translation of the Japanese characters used for the attack name, Sunlight Yellow Overdrive.

A brilliant sunlight rose over Moonlight and Magic Blaster. The bright, clear, and beautiful light drove away all the darkness inside the seal area.

[AAAAAAAAH!]

Leisegang cried in pain and closed his eyes. But it was not the sun that he avoided by closing his eyes.

“”

The sunlight radiated at once over Moonlight and Magic Blaster. Hundreds of light spheres formed around Cordelia. And at the same time, Cordelia fiercely smiled.

“Shoot! Shoot! Just shoot!”

Babababaababang-!

Hundreds of light spheres rushed at once. It literally became a golden storm and engulfed Leisegang.

[KEUAAAAAAAA-!]

Leisegang was covered in light as he screamed. The number of light spheres was so high that Leisegang could barely be seen.

“Stop! Stop! Do it in moderation!”

Jude cried at that moment.

At the same time, he sent a magic.

[Hey! It’s a bus! Bus! We’re driving a bus!]

[I know!]

I’m just giving our attacks a little push!

If Leisegang had heard it, he would have shouted in anger, but Cordelia just giggled and withdrew her magic. With the light spheres gone, the battered appearance of Leisegang was revealed.

[Kaaak… uuuugh…]

It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was relying on the chains to barely stand.

But it was not enough.

The Demon Prince’s power had yet to run out.

The reason why Gallus couldn’t kill Leisegang in the first place was because the stamina of Demon Princes seemingly had no end.

Especially Leisegang, the vampire king who had immense endurance.

So Cordelia did not let her guard down. She grinned and shouted again.

“Everyone! Attack!”

Hurry up!

“UOOOOOH!”

“Here it goes!”

“This is divine retribution!”

Red Wind, Kajsa, and Lucas each shouted as they attacked Leisegang again.

[AAAAH! AAAACK!]

As the vampire king, Leisegang had recovered from almost everything except for the wounds left by Jude, but his insides were slowly being destroyed.

If there was an HP bar floating above his head, it would have shown his declining condition.

And 9 minutes later.

After the party was exhausted from their constant attacks and roughly breathed for a moment to catch their breaths, Leisegang shouted with all his might.

[Curse you! Curse you all! I, Leisegang, declare that you will all die bleeding from the holes in your body!]

It wasn’t just a simple curse.

It was a curse cast by a Demon Prince, a higher being of Hell, so it was a powerful curse.

However, Jude and Cordelia nodded their heads, having already anticipated it so they had come up with a countermeasure.

“Oh, yes. .”

Jude tore apart dozens of magic scrolls that he had prepared in advance. Because the curse’s power was so strong that one or two scrolls were not enough.

“Yeah, okay.”

Cordelia also tore scrolls that she had prepared for today. Its effect was strong since she got Lena’s help in making it.

His magic power was scattered.

The curse disappeared before it even reached them.

But Leisegang did not give up. He waited for Jude and Cordelia’s hands to stop before shouting again.

[Then as a lord of Hell, I’ll leave this last curse-]

After letting his opponent use up all their defense measures, he would attack again.

In simple terms, it was a diversionary tactic, but they didn’t give him a chance.

“Yes, yes, I know. We’ve prepared a lot.”

“As expected.”

Jude and Cordelia nodded as though they knew this would happen, and each took out scrolls as they tore it again.

[Argh! You b*stards!]

His cry was full of sincerity.

Therefore, Jude and Cordelia instinctively realized.

‘His HP is very low.’

‘Just before he dies.’

If I attack him now, I can get the last hit.

I can get the last hit bonus.

Of course, I’m driving a bus.

But frankly, isn’t it better for us to get stronger than for Lucas or Kajsa to get stronger?

In fact, aren’t them riding the bus enough already?

As their gamer brains began to work, Jude and Cordelia raised their heads and unknowingly looked at each other.

The two could clearly understand what the other was thinking with just a look of their eyes, so they immediately understood what the other wanted.

So they moved at the same time.

Cordelia hurriedly opened her lips and began to hurriedly chant while Jude simultaneously kicked the ground and released the black dragon’s energy.

“”

A black spear formed at the end of Moonlight’s gem and flew towards Leisegang. And at the same time, the energy of the black dragon that Jude had released then struck Leisegang’s chest.

“Black Dragon Cross Strike! Hopf Link!”

Even though the attack had already struck the enemy, Jude still shouted the technique name. He then hurriedly looked at Cordelia, and she also glanced at him.

Instead of watching the resentful Leisegang from disappearing, they quickly counted the rings of light that floated around each other’s bodies.

And a few seconds later.

The moment Cordelia instinctively realized who had the most rings.

“Oh yeah!”

“Hey!”

Jude clenched his fists in victory while Cordelia lost her temper.

“Hey, you fu- no, no. Anyway, you fool! Why are you trying to get the last hit? We’re driving a bus!”

“Wait, you tried to get it too!”

“Anyway, I didn’t get it! You’re the one who got it! You got the last hit!”

[Y-you… bugs…]

Leisegang murmured resentfully, but the two no longer cared about him.

Red Wind and Sun Song tilted their heads and muttered “What’s a bus?” while Kajsa chuckled at the idiot couple.

Only Lucas showed interest in the disappearing Leisegang. Or rather, he was actually immersed in his role playing rather than showing interest in the enemy.

“Evil is gone.”

A line from Biltwein the Hero. The last words Biltwein would say after defeating a powerful enemy.

[Curse… you…]

Leisegang unconsciously missed Gallus and the Solari denomination as he resentfully muttered and eventually disappeared.

As for Jude and Cordelia.

The two who had been arguing had kissed at some point.

A light kiss.

Several more kisses.

Followed by a passionate one.

“Pwaah! Hey, y-you. Do you think I’ll forgive you just because of this?”

Cordelia said with a blushing face, but her blue eyes had already lost most of her anger from earlier.

Her words were mostly grumbling.

So Jude kissed Cordelia again and she naturally raised her hands to hug Jude’s neck.

And at that entire sight, Kajsa frowned.

“What the-? What’s wrong with them? How did it end up like that?”

Why are they kissing now instead of arguing?

And everyone’s watching, okay? This isn’t your bedroom, okay? Can you two please stop flirting now?

But it was at that moment.

“Lord Jude!”

Lucas suddenly shouted.

His cry wasn’t of annoyance at the public displays of affection in front of him.

At the place where Leisegang disappeared.

While still embracing each other, Jude and Cordelia looked at where Lucas was pointing, and their eyes widened in surprise.

Why is that here?

No, if you think about it, isn’t it obvious?

This was the place where Gallus had died and where Leisegang was sealed.

“Awesome.”

“Yes, it’s awesome. Really awesome.”

I really, really like it.

Jude kissed the forehead of the grinning Cordelia, and turned around as a dark smile spread across his lips.

He happily walked towards the items Leisegang had left behind.
