11. Dawnâs Curse (3)
The giant demon looked down at the party.
âSince this body has descended to this landâ¦â
He blinked his dark eyes and let out an arrogant voice.
âItâs useless to struggle, you insignificant humans.â
The complexions of Barros and Serati turned pale. A terrible pressure was pressing down on their shoulders.
âUhmâ¦â¦â
âSuch a high-ranking demonâ¦â
Karnak was also breaking out in a cold sweat.
âWhy? Why didnât the summon door close again?â
He was the man whose name was the Death King. Even though he lost his strength and started crying, the knowledge and wisdom in his head did not disappear. He soon found out why.
âDamn, that was the problem.â
Originally, the black magic that summoned demons had a complicated technique as the necromancy barrier art. However, Strafâs technique was a little different.
âThat bastard, he didnât develop the spell properly because heâs a master in necromancy!â
Only a few important major techniques were deployed, and all the missing parts were filled with command power. The advantage of necromancy was that even if he didnât use it properly, if he just pour magic into it, the result would come out somehow.
As a result, the situation became ambiguous. It was not a simple technique, so it was enough to confuse. But again, it wasnât so complicated that the summoning spell had completely canceled.
Simple and complex, was it narrowly straddling the boundary? As a result, the ceremony stopped without being canceled!
âFor a moment? But why didnât I notice that?â
Straf confirmed that he was using the demon-summoning technique. That was the reason, he came up with this plan with confidence.
âOops.â
Only then, Karnak realized what mistake he had made.
âIâve never seen it with my own eyes!â
He only looked at it with the sight of a far-sighted dog while running away with illusion. He didnât see the demon summoning scene himself. Didnât Karnak also laugh at Straf right away?
There was no way he could control the situation remotely from afar and properly grasp the situation, right? At best, he laughed at others and made the same mistake himself.
Just seeing the fact that he summoned a demon, of course, he assumed that he had used the demon-summoning technique he knew.
âOh, to make such a basic mistakeâ¦â
It seems that after returning, he was tired of the too-peaceful atmosphere. With a roar, the Maz-nun released his magic.
âI will fulfill the contractâ
A gale came and drove Karnakâs party. Overcoming the pressure, Barros and Serati moved. They jumped to the left and right of the devil and launch a dazzling attack!
âHut!â
âTaat!â
It was useless. All the slashes were just bounced back. The devilâs skin was not even scratched as if he had hit the iron plate with a bat.
âJust some furniture for me, you bugs!â
Relaxingly, Maz-nun swung the sword in his hand. It was an unmatched slash. Naturally, both easily dodged the offensive attack. However, it was impossible to avoid the huge energy that followed the slash.
A wave of darkness ripped through the cellar floor and crashed down on the two. The two, men and women caught up in it were blown away like leaves.
âKeugh!â
âDo something, young master!â
Rolling on the floor, Barros barely stood up and called Karnak.
âNow what?â
Karnak replied nervously, clutching fireballs in both hands.
âWhat the heck? I have to fight!â
Two fireballs flew toward the Maz-nun. The devil snorted.
âHeh, thereâs no need to stop this!â
Kwak!
Just by glaring at him, the flying fireball exploded in the air. Because the power gap was so large, it was impossible to even approach.
Darkly, Barros grumbled, âNo, how are we going to catch that nowâ¦â
* * *
Choosing to breathe, concentrating, and concentrating, she gathered all her fighting spirit to point her sword. Wielding a sword of blazing fire, Serati attacked the demon.
âKaaaaaa!â
The red flag continued to dance. Her new body was running around in a dizzy space.cStone walls and stone floors were dug up and scattered into powder.
Kaaang!
It was a movement that transcended human limitations and was destructive.
âKill the devilâ
The Maz-nun laughed off all the attacks.
âYouâre slow and weak.â
Seratiâs movements were obviously fast, but the devilâs was even faster. In the first place, the advantage of a red-class aura user was that they could unleash a fast and powerful attack that could transcend the limits of the human body. If she encounter a faster and stronger enemy, she would be at an overwhelming disadvantage because she couldnât even do anything.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âDamn it!â
Even so, Serati managed to hold on. It wasnât because she was doing well.
âWasnât it in our contract to capture this woman?â
So, she was dealing moderately, only kicking or pushing. On the other hand, Barros was relentless.

âThis guy doesnât have to do that.â
All kinds of fireballs, magical blades, roars of crushing pressure, and dozens of magical bullets were pouring down on him.
âWhoa, whoa! Whoa!â
In front of that overwhelming bombardment, Barros had no choice but to run away like mad. They struggled to survive by running, rolling, and sometimes even crawling.
âAaaaaaa!â
The great thing was that in the middle of it, he managed not to get hit. Before these side attacks, They took the appropriate evasion stance, avoided invisible attacks in advance, and run away from the falling bombing spots.
It was a pretty embarrassing situation even for the Maz-nun. Did this guy have any kind of foresight? Still, it wasnât a threat.
Occasionally, a gruesome counterattack returned. There were also cases where he mysteriously dug into Maz-nunâs loophole and gave it a sharp blow.
âTaaaat!â
However, those attacks did not scratch the skin. Since the demonâs defense was so high, it didnât work at all except for the late point. Grinding his teeth, Barros grumbled.
âAh, I really thought the day would come when I would struggle against Maz-nun or somethingâ¦â
Serati and Barros ran amok in front, and Karnak threw magic hard in the back, fiercely fighting the demons. Of course, everyone knew that this situation would not last long. The Maz-nun was never in a hurry.
âHumans are like rats, and they run away from time to time.â
He just withstood all the attacks with his overwhelming power and slowly pushed back Karnak and his party.
âCanât we just leave it like that?
Gradually, Seratiâs breathing quickened, Barrosâ movements slowed down, and Karnakâs magical power depleted. Heâd rather use a dazzling spell, aiming for that gap if that devil jumped up wildly. But the situation was different. There was no spell or power to use magic big enough to forcibly create a gap.
âI wish they could do something for meâ¦â
Karnak looked at Barros and Serati with regret. Both were fighting valiantly, but the situation was so bad. Seratiâs black orbit was so simple that no matter how much she swung it, she couldnât hit the devilâ¦
âKeugh, too fast!â
The power of Barrosâ sword was so weak that no matter how many times it hit the demon, it couldnât make any damage.
âOh, this is too hard!â
It was time for the frustrated Karnak to speak his tongue.
âIt would be much easier if I put the two together⦠Huh?â
Come to think of it, he was a necromancer. This was not a very nonsensical story! Karnak hurriedly called Barros.
âBarros!â
âYes?â
âItâs Plan P!â
âAh!â
As if understood, Barros ran to Karnak.
âRight! There was a way, right?â
And immediately bowed down. Karnak put his hand on the top of his head.
âMy servantâ¦â
Darkness rose and wrapped around Barrosâ head. Serati was taken aback.
âDidnât Sir Barros say he was a member of his family?â
It wasnât Barros that Karnak had just referred to.
âOpen your mind and accept it! This is your masterâs mandate!â
The focus disappeared from Barrosâ pupils. The movement became simple like a doll, and then stood next to Karnak and mechanically took a sword-holding posture.
With a burst of spirit, he rushed off the floor and flew up. The red fighting sword moved sharply and cut through the devilâs offensive. At the same time, Seratiâs movements were also changed.
It was a completely different swordsmanship from before. Although she was slower than the devil, she preoccupies the space and exquisitely dug into the gap!
âYes!â
A shocked Maz-nun stepped back. Red blood was welling up from his chest. Correcting her posture again, Serati smiled.
âThis moveâ¦?â
A thick tone flowed from between the beautiful womanâs lips.
âItâs been a while since Iâve been moving someone elseâs body?â
* * *
Plan P.
What this means was simple. It was just the first letter of possession. Karnak had placed the spirit of Barros over her body. Caught inside her own body, Serati panicked.
âOh, this canât beâ¦â
Originally, possession did not happen so easily. The human soul was indeed covered with a thick spiritual defense, so a high level of necromancy skill was required to penetrate it.
However, the situation was different for Serati. She became a member of Karnakâs household. The soul itself had already been revealed to him.
Karnak could take her body whenever he wanted. Of course, Barros wasnât a
member of his family, so he could have resisted, but there was no reason for that.
âBeing a necromancerâs family⦠Did you mean this?â
Fear came. She felt like she had made an irreversible choice. Barros, who occupied Seratiâs body, spoke shyly.
âIâm sorry. Miss Serati, itâs a matter of risking your lifeâ¦â
He tried to calm her fear in a plaintive tone. She had no choice anyway. She should have been prepared for this when she got her hands on the dirty trick of a necromancer.
âYes, I canât help it because my life is at stakeâ¦â
She still didnât understand. Serati also admitted that Barros was superior in swordsmanship and had more experience than herself. So why?
âWhat does it mean for Mr. Barros to take over my body?â
The Maz-nun also had the same question.
âWhat do you want to do, you guys?â
Like a demon, he knew the situation right away. But he didnât know why.
âWhat are you going to do with someone who isnât even an Aura user possessing an Aura user?â
Seratiâs ability to transcend humans was entirely due to the power of Aura. Pure physical ability that was far superior to Barros. Because he was much experienced and there was a difference between male and female. In other words, if he couldnât use her aura, he could take Seratiâs bodyâ¦
âHow can a guy who canât even master his own fighting skills use someone elseâs fighting skills?â
The ensuing sight left the demon speechless.
âWho thought this would work?â
Whoops!
Red spirits gushed brilliantly from the sword. It was a fighting sword of a red-class Aura user that could be seen by anyone. It was the first necrosis that even the Maz-nun, who had the wisdom of the devil, had never seen.
âUh, how?â
Not being able to learn speculation meant that he had no experience dealing with speculation. But he was dealing with someone elseâs body right away? Was it that natural? Barros shrugged his shoulders as he entered Seratiâs body, aiming his fighting sword.
âI mean, writing other peopleâs speculations is my major!â
The dark combat that he used during the Death Knight was given to him by Karnak, not his power. Even before that, he would often possess someone elseâs body or absorb someone elseâs aura and used it.
âTo be honest, I donât know how to use my own speculation.â
Indeed, Barros himself had never awakened to fighting spirit. Anyway, with this, there was a way to definitely counterattack.
Karnak exclaimed cheerfully, âOkay, not now Barrosâ¦â
Came to think of it, now it was Serati plus Barros. All names had to be called correctly.
âGo! Sera Barros!â
âDonât put peopleâs names together in a weird way!â
Sera Barros threw themselves while grumbling. The fighting sword exploded with a sharp spirit.
âTaaaaaa!â
