513
Luna, who had unleashed a barrage of Apocalypse spells, kept her eyes fixed on where the Overlord King had been.
‘He won’t fall from just this much.’
The current Luna was the same Luna from the era when the Great Heroes had embarked on their final expedition.
By the standards of that time, each Great Hero’s military prowess had overwhelmed the Legion Commanders who were Erebos’s trusted subordinates.
Hel Kaiser, the Commander-in-Chief of Tartaros, would be no different.
‘But that’s only when I was in perfect condition.’
The current Luna was in a spirit state.
And what was sustaining her was her own magic power that had been dwelling in Cometes, plus Seirun’s magic power added to it.
Due to such circumstances, there were significant restrictions on using magic.
‘Moreover, that damn bone bastard. He’s gotten stronger than he was 5,000 years ago.’
Luna could easily predict the reason he had grown stronger.
‘It must be because of that fragment of Erebos he possesses.’
She assessed the current combat strength between herself and the Overlord King.
‘It might be a bit difficult to crush him in a direct power confrontation.’
While Luna was stroking her chin.
Gooooooo-!
Ominous dark magic power surged upward.
Seeing this, Luna narrowed her eyes.
‘Looks like he devoured that Legion Commander.’
Luna clicked her tongue lightly, easily noticing that the Overlord King’s power had become even more formidable.
Whoooosh-!
Looking at the Overlord King who revealed himself wreathed in the black flames that Eljenie had been emitting just moments before, Luna spoke.
“A tragedy of fratricide? Well, that’s just the level of demon bastards.”
“That filthy mouth of yours hasn’t been fixed even in death, it seems.”
“People destined for great things must be consistent whether alive or dead.”
Luna smiled brightly and snapped her fingers.
Whiririring-!
A strange resonating sound echoed, and soon hundreds of swords made of magic power were generated around them.
Swords of Destruction.
It was magic Luna had created to face the Overlord King.
Magic that was like a natural enemy to the power of the dead.
Seeing such Luna, the Overlord King raised his hand.
Gooooo-!
Black mist poured out from his hand.
When Luna gestured, hundreds of swords poured down on the Overlord King like a downpour.
Pububububububububung-!
In an instant, the Swords of Destruction collided with the Overlord King’s mist and were blocked.
“Did you think the methods from 5,000 years ago would work on me?”
“Yeah, guess they don’t work.”
Tak-
Luna calmly grasped the one remaining Sword of Destruction in her hand and immediately activated her magic power.
Flash-!
The Overlord King’s eyes twitched as he watched Luna disappear in an instant.
‘Spatial movement magic?’
He quickly deployed magic power detection.
In a split second.
Sensing killing intent from behind, the Overlord King used spatial movement magic.
Swish-!
The Sword of Destruction swept through empty air.
“Too bad~”
Luna clicked her tongue while swinging the Sword of Destruction back and forth.
Watching her, the Overlord King’s eyes narrowed.
‘Did she cast acceleration magic on her own magic?’
It wasn’t simply at the level of increasing physical speed or anything like that.
It was literally magic that made Luna’s own time flow faster.
Luna had controlled her own time, even if just for a moment.
‘This is a magic concept that didn’t exist 5,000 years ago.’
The magic concept related to time acceleration had only been properly established recently.
And it was magic born through a single mage who was born with special mana characteristics.
Even now, mages who could apply magic like that were rare to see.
‘I suppose I should say “as expected.”‘
He didn’t know how long she had been in this world.
But the magic she was using was clearly different from 5,000 years ago.
‘I had expected it, but most of the countermeasures I had prepared in case Luna Rubinance appeared in the present world would be useless.’
Last winter.
From the moment he heard the disaster-like news that the invasion plan to destroy Seirun had been thwarted by the appearance of the Hero of the Beginning and the Progenitor of the Starry Skies, the Overlord King had been thinking of countermeasures against them.
It was a clear fact that the Great Heroes had appeared in this era through Hero Record.
Literally a miraculous event.
‘But something that happened once can happen again.’
As the Overlord King predicted, the Great Heroes continued to appear in the current era.
Hero Arron had even defeated one of Erebos’s fragments and disappeared.
And now.
Luna, the Progenitor of the Starry Skies, stood before him.
‘I should consider that the level of magic has risen one step higher than what I know.’
The Overlord King used dark magic.
Kwagagagagagaga-!
Smoke made of pitch-black miasma enveloped Luna at tremendous speed.
Seeing this, Luna quickly used acceleration magic to escape the Overlord King’s attack.
She could have avoided it more easily by using spatial movement magic, but Luna used acceleration magic instead.
Luna, who approached the Overlord King at tremendous speed, clapped her hands once with a clap-!
As her hands separated, particles of light poured out like buckshot from between them.
Kwagagagagagang-!
A powerful explosion occurred.
However, it was blocked by the Overlord King’s dark red barrier magic.
Whoooosh-!
At that moment, the Overlord King’s hand transformed into the bone of a giant monster.
The monster burning with black flames opened its mouth wide, trying to devour Luna.
Whoosh-!
Luna quickly created distance again.
“Troublesome.”
The Overlord King clicked his tongue.
Monster Queen Silatuna, Giant King Gias, and others.
They were Legion Commanders specialized in close combat.
To compare them to heroes, they were knight and warrior classes.
In contrast, the Overlord King was a summoner and mage class specialized in summoning and magic.
Luna kept engaging in close combat against such an Overlord King.
The reason was simple.
Luna demonstrated tremendous power even in close combat.
She was easily overwhelming the Overlord King, who had the combat methods of a traditional mage.
The most powerful force in evasive maneuvers is spatial magic.
But Luna didn’t use spatial movement magic.
The same was true for the Overlord King.
It wasn’t because chaotic battles using spatial movement magic were difficult.
For Luna and the Overlord King, it was simple magic.
But spatial movement had a fatal weakness.
Short-range spatial movement is magic that folds space and space.
As such, the spatial movement position could inevitably be predicted.
Of course, this was normally impossible in combat, but Luna was a mage called the strongest mage in the history of magic, and the Overlord King was also an existence that had existed for thousands of years and was notorious as the most powerful user of magic and curses in Tartaros.
In Luna’s case, she didn’t use spatial movement magic because she was wary of having her position detected and being counterattacked, and the Overlord King chose to construct defensive magic in place.
“Do you plan to continue this troublesome war of attrition?”
“Yeah.”
Luna smiled brightly.
Luna was in a situation where she would have no choice but to disappear if her mana was depleted.
The Overlord King saw through that as well.
‘If there had been no restrictions, he would have revealed himself from the beginning.’
But unfortunately, time was now on Luna’s side.
‘The surviving Hero.’
Crack-! Crackcrackcrack-!
Leo, trapped in the Mirror Queen’s world, was trying to escape.
“Do you know what the decisive difference is between us who try to destroy the world and you who try to protect the world? Luna Rubinance.”
“Who cares! You dog bone!”
Luna’s eyes flashed.
For an instant, a pentagram appeared in Luna’s pupils.
Whizzzzzing-!
The barrier magic that had been constructed around the Overlord King was dispelled.
She had understood the magical formula structure and destroyed it through reverse calculation.
Luna tried to approach again.
Seeing this, the Overlord King curled up the corners of his mouth.
Gooooooo-!
Massive dark mana flowed out from the Overlord King.
Rumbllllllle-!
When the Overlord King raised his hand, debris from all over Lumeria City rose up into the sky.
Luna hesitated.
“The destroyer just needs to break what’s visible, but the guardian must protect what’s visible.”
Crashhhhhh-!
“Ugh!”
Luna deployed magic to protect the people.
The falling debris stopped due to the telekinetic magic Luna used.
Luna blew all the debris far away.
Seeing this, the Overlord King raised his hand.
Gooooooo-!
Black flames surrounded Luna.
Just as the black flames were about to turn Luna to ash.
Flash-
A massive magic circle was generated in Luna’s hand.
“Stella Radius.”
As Luna’s unique magic was completed, a flash of light drew a long trajectory and flew toward the Overlord King.
Crashhhhhh-!
Half of the Overlord King’s body was blown away.
Crack- Crackkkkk-!
However, the Overlord King’s body returned to its original state.
Seeing this, Luna frowned.
“Wow, it’s disgusting no matter when I see it. You won’t die.”
“You should know well, Luna Rubinance. I am one of the dead.”
The Overlord King curled up the corners of his mouth.
“As long as the core isn’t destroyed, I am an immortal being.”
“Yeah, the same structure as those low-grade liches.”
Luna sneered.
The core was always carried by the Overlord King.
But destroying it wasn’t easy.
‘Since it’s the core of mana, it’s unimaginably solid, and he can move its position wherever he wants at any moment.’
Luna grimaced.
Seeing such Luna, the Overlord King laughed.
“The same goes for you, Luna Rubinance.”
“What?”
“Did you forget? You are also one of the dead.”
Crack-! Crackkkkk-!
The Overlord King pulled out his opposite arm with the hand imbued with Erebos’s thoughts.
The arm soon took the form of a spear.
Gooooo-!
Tremendous dark mana swirled.
‘Homing magic!’
Luna’s face hardened.
It was magic that would absolutely hit its target.
Just as Luna was about to dispel the magic.
Stab-!
“Guh?”
In an instant, the Overlord King’s magic pierced through Luna’s heart.
“You bastard…”
Luna’s face contorted.
Seeing such Luna, the Overlord King spoke.
“That magic contains all the power of Lord Erebos that burned using Eljenie as kindling.”
The Overlord King spoke coldly.
“Originally it was power to be used to kill the surviving Hero, but the moment you intervened, that was already a lost cause. Besides, the divine will that used Eljenie as kindling had an even greater grudge against you.”
Luna coughed up- blood.
“I consumed someone who was a Legion Commander. Then I should definitely break at least one thing for sure.”
Luna’s hand trembled as she lowered her head.
“Right now, you who will advance this era’s magic by several stages are a more threatening existence than the surviving Hero. Luna Rubinance.”
If the plan had gone awry, he had to choose to gain maximum benefit from that situation.
In the Overlord King’s view, that was the miserable death of Luna Rubinance.
Thud-!
At that moment, the bone spear disappeared.
He had put all of Erebos’s black flames into a single magic.
However, Luna didn’t die.
“You won’t disappear immediately or anything, Luna Rubinance.”
The Overlord King smiled coldly.
“Your heart pierced, limbs blown off. Even if your head explodes, you can exist in this world. Because you are a dead being like me. I hope you show an ugly appearance and die despairingly.”
“You son of a bitch…!”
“Because I hate you Great Heroes.”
The Overlord King swung his palm.
Kwang-!
“Kugh!”
Luna’s body was slammed into the ground by the tremendous impact.
Kwagagagagang-!
“Luna-nim!”
Runia approached Luna with a pale face.
The Heroes who had been holding back the Overlord King and the Blood Queen’s Legion also showed expressions of despair as they saw Luna bleeding with her heart pierced.
“Don’t come!”
Luna shouted while spitting blood.
And she stood up as if it was nothing.
Tremendous pain that could drive one insane was squeezing her entire body.
Every movement felt like screams would burst out.
The power of Erebos and the Overlord King’s cursed power.
Anyone else would have had their mind collapse and gone mad.
But Luna smiled.
“Great! This means I can fight to my heart’s content without worrying about anything!”
Luna’s face showed no trace of despair as she spat blood and smiled belligerently.
Thud-
The Overlord King who landed on the ground shook his head at the sight.
“Indeed a Great Hero. How tenacious. To be able to smile even through pain that would collapse one’s mind.”
The Overlord King, who had a disgusted expression, opened his mouth.
“Luna Rubinance. If you existed as a spirit, what would your regret be?”
“Not being able to devour all of you bastards.”
“That could be it. But you who entrusted everything to a surviving Hero who doesn’t know the meaning of giving up probably wouldn’t have that as your regret, right.”
The Overlord King said with a small laugh.
“Then this might be your regret.”
The Overlord King spread his palm.
It was a necromantic contract circle.
Luna, who had been frowning, checked the contents of the contract circle and slowly began to stiffen.
After a moment, Luna’s face turned pale.
“Huhuhuh. Huhuhuhuhuhuh- Keuhehehehe!”
The Overlord King suppressed his bursting laughter as much as possible while mocking Luna.
Luna looked at the ground with a pale face.
“This seems to be the correct answer.”
The Overlord King hid the contract circle.
“Berkia, whom you worried about so much, has been revived as an Undead. Did you teach your disciple wrong?”
Kwagagagagang-!
As the Overlord King swung his arm, Luna was sent flying powerlessly and crashed.
Bang-! Jjeojeojeojeojeok-!
At that moment, the entire space began to violently fluctuate and started to crack.
The Overlord King’s eyes narrowed at the sight.
‘The surviving Hero is coming soon.’
He had to crush Luna before then.
The moment he thought that.
Runic chanting began to be heard.
Flash-!
A massive magic circle was embroidered in the sky.
The Overlord King’s face hardened at the sight.
“Apocalypse?”
He looked toward where Luna had been sent flying.
There stood Luna, looking at him with eyes shining as usual while raising her middle finger.
“You feel no mental damage even after seeing your disciple revived as an Undead?”
To the Overlord King’s question, Luna answered with a slight smile.
“As if, you son of a bitch.”
