Chapter Twenty-Eight: Heaven's Gate

"Pain...... "Van Kel's chief of staff grumbled, and Brandon Moore stabbed him in the chest with a sword before smirking. Thank you. ”

The Demon King looked up. "Indeed, there is nothing happier than dying by Brandon's swordβ€”"

"No, thank you for coming closer......" Minion grabbed Moore with his free hand. Black Spell!"

A black aura surrounded Brandon Moore, instantly draining his vitality and strength.

All of Brandon Moore's enhancements have been removed, and all of his stats have been lowered by one level!

Brandon Moore can't recover health while [Black Curse] is active!

"What did you do?" Brandon Moore tripped over his sword, while Manlin Victor fell to his knees with a chest injury. "Moore is no longer surprising......"

With only physical attacks, he raised his fist and roared towards B

e pounced. The moth moves to dodge, but reacts more slowly than before; This time he couldn't escape.

"Don't touch my treasure!"

Van Kerr punched him.

The dragon's massive fist struck Brandon Moore with such force that it made the arena tremble and cause a gust of wind. The sheer force of the blow shattered the bones in the demon's body, knocking him flying. Moore walked through the flames, through the walls of the arena, and then through the stands, without stopping.

After this blow, the entire arena collapsed, and Manlin Victor watched in horror.

At the same time, Winkel realized what was happening and managed to calm himself down.

"I hit him!" The dragon gloated. "I finally hit the moth!"

You punched Brandon in the face! By striking a major demon lord to temporarily "retreat", you gain a level in [Gladiator] and [Caesar]!

"I'm not sure if this special treatment will work for him...... But I'm glad it worked......" his beloved servant coughed up blood. "I need a healing potion......"

"Later, minions." The notice reads "Temporary Retirement", and he has not regained the legitimate title of Emperor. "The moth is alive!"

"yes, I knew it wasn't easy......" Victor looked around the arena, one hand resting on his bleeding chest, standing up straight with his scythe, his eyes fixed on the crystal. Princess......"

"The magic of these crystal fairies will curse upon contact." Winkel explained that the ancestors had created that damn spell to harass the dragons. He retrieves his princess bag and activates his now favorite perk. "Spell Cleansing."

The charm test is partially successful! [Elf Crystal Spell Cleaned]! Wink grabbed the crystallized princess, the crystals he touched froze slightly, and placed them in his grocery bag. "Now, minion, let's go find the elven moth." If he's lucky, he'll hand the Crest to Winkel.

He smelled the knight Chia and her flying bull flying around the arena. Her griffin wings were burned all around. "You caught Merville?" The knight asked. "Great, let's escape with Agarthan's warp stone, quick!"

Leave? From whom?" There is no crown of mine, the head of the moth, and the tribute of the ox, the knight of Kia. ”

"Did you destroy the plane?" Victor asked her.

"I hurt a wing, but the woman ...... She's some kind of archmage, and she's very good at punching. Then Brandon Moore teleported there and ordered the plane to take off! They equipped it with an army!" Noticing Manlin Victor's wounds, she immediately cast a spell on him: "[Greater Healing]."

A golden light enveloped his chief of staff, and the wound on his chest was healing. Victor breathed a sigh of relief, as did his master; He feared that his chief of staff would bleed to death like his fragile kind.

Still furious, Van Kerr prepares to fly to catch the moth, when his nostrils fill his nostrils with the stench of immortals. The woman, Merodius, flew down from heaven like Furibon and glared at them angrily.

"I'm tired of you, Sawd," she said to the Manlins, before turning her attention to Wacker. "Leave, Dragon. You have no right to interfere. Take your slaves, and I will order the crown prince to let you rule over the Mermulim without challenge. ”

The dragon finally recognized the scent. Formerly McGill Restaurant. Is she the fairy in disguise, or another offspring of the fairy? In spite of. "I'm not afraid of anyone, especially herbivores!" Go back to your forest, fairy!"

"And then perish. [Call Hunt]. A puff of purple smoke surrounded the fairy, and four huge, elephant-sized black hounds appeared around her. As they landed in the ruins of the arena, the creatures let out a roar and rushed towards the dragon and Manling Victor.

Fairy Hound. War beasts were once created by their ancestors to fight dragons, and Winkel killed dozens of them when he was young.

The first one lunged at the dragon, and with his free hand, the dragon struck the dragon against the last wall of the arena, crushing the dragon to pieces. To Winkel's surprise, his body reacted on its own, and when the beasts came into his range, he found a more fun and better way to hit and poke them.

One of the beasts attacked Manlin Victor, blocking his jaw with a scythe before they could cut him in half. Knight Kia immediately rushes to his aid, summoning her solar judgment on the creature; A beam of light struck the Elven Hound in the back, vaporizing half of its body.

The former engaged in an aerial battle with the knight Kia, with flint and sharp ice spears raining down while the Flyer dodged every enemy. The knight quickly closed the gap between them, attempting to cut the creature in half, but Merodius quickly grabbed the sword with her hand and did not reach out.

"[Darkest Iron-]" melodiuse summoned a spell, but Knight Kia hit her in the face with her empty hand. This didn't hurt the fairy, but it did distract her, and the knight drew his sword, closing the distance between them.

"She's delaying us!" Chia the knight shouted, then summoned the Sun Judgment on the front Mo and bombarded her with light. Winkel heard a deep and powerful voice approaching. "With stones!"

Fall back?

Never! A real dragon can't run, because he doesn't die!

Van Kerr ignored her, as one of the hounds he had stabbed to death suddenly turned into smoke, leaving behind a pile of gold. The dragon immediately crushed the second one with a fireball, hungry for more treasure. "Minions! He shouted at Manlin Victor, who managed to block his opponent with a scythe. "Quick, grab my gold!"

"Your Majesty, I think we should listen to Kia!"

"Minions, the real emperor won't run!" Van Kerr replied, stomping the last of the elven hounds and a dark cloud began to envelop the area. "What am I afraid of?"

Manlin Victor held up a finger to the sky, and Winkel followed.

The giant metal bird flew high across the arena, casting it in a huge shadow. Strangely, spear-shaped iron claws pointed at them, while the left flank let out some smoke. β€œVai

queu

!” The moth elf's voice came from the Iron Bird, and the dragon noticed him through the eyes of the Iron Bird's window. "You've snubbed Brandon Moore long enough!"

Sweet, the moth is back and dead. "As long as you don't recognize my title, I will despise you!" The dragon roared, spreading its wings proudly......

Then, a magical circle appeared at Van Kkel's feet. "What is this?" He asked, confused, glaring at the former witch for fear that she was going to attack with her wand.

"Death." The former witch replied, dusting off her charred robes and disappearing into the veil of darkness. A spear claw fell from the bird, and then flew directly towards Winkel, propelled by strong winds.

"Waynequer, Victor, run!" Knight Kia immediately grabbed a stone from under her armor with his free hand and disappeared beside the griffin.

"Oh my God!" Man Ling immediately hid behind his master, who also kept the princess bag behind him.

Before Van Kerr could react, the spear struck him in the face and exploded as soon as it touched the blinding glare of light; The explosion unleashed a compressed wind in all directions, blowing away the stones and raising flames that sent the dragon to its side.

He itched all over his body.

You have taken great damage from the Wind Spear! Dying, [vertigo] disease!

Your body has dropped by a quarter!

[Bull] start!

Winkel got up again, and a force helped him get up, but he struggled to stand up straight. His head hurt and the whole world was blurred. "Minions, I don't feel well," Wankel admitted, feeling like he was going to throw up his dinner. "I don't feel well......"

"He survived?" The moth's voice was angry. "How did he survive the weapons he made for the castle?!"

"I ......" Winkel forgot his next sentence and stammered, "Unforgettable......"

"Carpet him!"

Four, perhaps five, magic circles appeared beneath Winkel, and Iron Eagle's spear claws fell.

"Alright, we're done!" Manlin Victor said that his body had blocked him from the princess bag. "Hoard, hoard, hoard!"

When the spear flew at them, the world changed; In the blink of an eye, Winkel was back in his treasure, surrounded by precious jewels and coins.

"This works." Victor fell on the gold, and this time, Winkel did not complain that he touched his treasure. He was too tired to punish him. The Agarthan warp in the hands of the Chief of Staff turned into dust. "Oh my God, it's so dangerous......"

"I'm not comfortable......" Winkel fell on his treasure, the warmth of gold soothing him. His gaze turned to the princess bag, which was damaged, but the contents were intact, and his eyelids drooped...... "I don't ...... I'm not feeling well......"

"We almost died, Your Majesty." Manling Victor said something stupid. "I'd rather feel sick than die."

"Nonsense, death is ...... Death is a birth defect...... Only mammals have, like pain......"

But he did feel pain. If Van Kerr will suffer, then... Maybe he'll die too?

No. No, that's impossible. Winkel is the biggest and strongest of his kind. He couldn't have a disability unless other dragons had it.

Unless...... Unless......

This terrible truth suddenly came to light, like a revelation from the old maggot. The darkest conspiracy theory in the dragon family, confirmed!

Death......

Death is not a disability!

Congratulations! Because you know dragons die, you gain +1 intelligence. "My whole culture is built on lies!" As if the day couldn't get any worse, Winkel realized that his chief of staff had only a scythe with him. "Minions, did you rob me of my gold?"

His chief of staff silently glanced back, and Winkel twitched.

Victor collapsed on the bed in his clothes, more tired than before. This plan did not work out. at all.

They almost died!

Van Kerr almost died. Vai

Brandon Moore is alive and vengeful, and his magic plane is still running. If they haven't provoked him and made him resentful, then snatch his princess and beat him.

He had to get Mu

Prepare for war, because his instincts tell him that Moore will make a detour to bomb the area as promised, and quickly. He ordered the kobold rangers and Jules to sound the alarm at the first sign of a large bird in the sky, and he hoped that Kia would alert Gardmani.

"No one can save you." Fuliben taunted him from his weapon. "You can't level up any more, my master has the most powerful weapon in the world. You're all going to die, soon. ”

As Victor racks his brains to find a way to protect his men, Frebon's words make him turn to the lich's soul. "You can help."

"What?"

Victo

Noted: "Even if we can't level up without the badge, I can learn necromancy spells, and Vai."

queu

It is possible to learn to exorcise demons. "You're an archmage, you must know a lot." He also consulted Jules for training techniques.

"Teach you and that dragon magic?" Never!"

Victor angrily shakes the scythe like a dog holding food, and at the same time, Frebon's soul touches the limits of the blade, much to his annoyance. "It's notβ€”" The adventurer shook even more. "Alright, alright, stop hitting me!" Only you! I don't know how to exorcise demons, and I don't want to be with that dragon!"

Good. Victor gives the lich a respite. "We'll start tomorrow." He said, his eyelids sank.

Before he could fall asleep, a bright, soft light lit up in the room. Victor immediately looked up, worried that Moore had teleported an assassin to him.

Instead, he found an angel beside his bedside.

"Mr. Dalton," said the heavenly beauty, her voice comforting him. The creature is in the shape of a blonde beauty with shiny green eyes, large silver wings, and a gorgeous white dress. "I'm an angel, Miel. I'm here to save your soul. ”

"I ...... Am I going to die?" Victor asked in horror. Is Morey's knife wound cursed?

"No, but you almost did." The angel replied. "Every year, thousands of neutral, unclaimed mortal souls unexpectedly enter Hell. You've escaped once, but you might not be so lucky the next time. ”

"Are you saying that if I die now, I'll go to hell?" The angel nodded. Victor would have liked to say that he was surprised, but after all he had done, it wasn't. "But I've been claimed by two gods, shouldn't I go to them when I die?"

It's not that he wants to go to Dice, but he can accept the Moon Man.

The angel replied, "You don't worship them, those gods are confused." You will not be saved with them. No, Mr. Dalton. The only way to avoid the curse is to take proper causal insurance. It's not too late for you. ”

…

Oh, don't do that.

"By securing your karma, giving us some of your special points each month, and giving them all to us when you die, you can avoid eternal torment," the angel continued her pitch. "Please consider our 'Hellfire Protection Plan', or you will be tormented forever when you die. We angels care about your safety. ”

"Or at least you care about my SP." Victor squinted at her.

"We use them to send guardian angels to orphans and heal the sick," the angel defended himself. "If you don't give us SP, you're committing a crime."

Was she trying to make him feel guilty? Victor begins to understand what Malfoy says about angels with killer marketing. "What's your insurance plan?"

The angel blinked. "Are you interested?"

"What, shouldn't you sell them to me?"

"You're my first client, and your superiors say your situation is tricky." She smiled at him like a telemarketer. "They think chasing salvation is dirty work and you never see the light."

Does he have such a bad reputation upstairs?" Listen, I've received a very demanding invitation from the company's management, so give me a brief introduction. ”

"Yes. First of all, we have 'Halo Health Insurance'β€”"

"Minions!"

In the blink of an eye, Victor landed in Winkel's vault, his back to gold, and the angel was nowhere to be found.

"Ah, minion." Winkle glanced down at the surprised Victor. The dragon pointed to the crystallized princesses and placed them like candles on his treasure. "First of all, no matter how hard I hit, I can't break these crystals. Find a way to free my princesses. ”

"Y- how did you teleport me there?"

"I called you." Winkel replied, as if the answer was obvious.

"Can you do it?" How?"

"My name is 'Minions,' and you showed up." The dragon replied, in fact. "Now, anytime I need you, I don't have to go to you anymore. You can meet my requirements without wasting time. ”

When he understood the meaning, Victor wanted to scream, but his voice choked in his throat.

"Secondly, after much deliberation, I finally accepted this," Winkel seemed to force himself to utter the next sentence, "death is not a birth defect." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, death befalls each of us." Victor replied to Winkel, not knowing how to understand the dragon's reaction. He said this with a solemn manner, as if someone had discovered that the earth was not always flat. "Except maybe the gods."

"They can." Furiben replied from the scythe. "They don't die all the time. How do you think anyone came up with the idea of the Lich Kingdom?"

It's better not to mention that idea. Dragon lizards can solve the carnivorous problem, but they can also raise new, bigger problems.

Vai

"This makes it all the more important to reach level 100," the claim was made. You'll find two crowns so I can blow up that big bird, eat that grasshopper, and never die. ”

"Two crests?" Victor frowned.

"Yes, just the two of us," Winkel clarified, his tone similar to that of speaking to a stupid child. "Minion Victor, I told you to live forever. Don't make me say it again. ”

Victor will still buy angel insurance.

Just in case.
