If you don’t have enough power, you can increase it

At the time when Martin and the swordsman were pushing the demon king, Latoon and his party appeared in the sky above the battlefield.

[It’s not too late.]

“I know.”

[My skills have improved. I don’t understand how a mortal can handle divine power so skillfully.]

Horn admiring Martin.

Unlike him, Latun’s eyes were on the demon king.

‘It’s already bloomed.’

Conditions don’t look very good.

No matter how recently it has bloomed, it is still severe.

After reading the memory of the land, Latun nodded.

‘I was overdoing it.’

The demon king could not become a complete transcendentalist.

It could be said that it stopped somewhere between the mortal and the transcendent.

If I had just spent time quietly, I would have found the strength I had before, but I lost my rank because of the hasty blooming.

‘It would be impossible to regain the power of that time.’

I am amazed at Martin who made the demon king like that. As Hoorn said, it is more like seeing him stably handling the power of the source.

The image of the demon king smiling in Latun’s eyes comes into view.

[Thank you. Thanks to you, I was able to regain my strength earlier.]

Latun burst into laughter.

‘Such a bravado to a mere mortal, not a transcendent.’

On the outside, he was smiling, but it probably wasn’t the devil’s words right now.

But the problem is, that bluff seems to work for Martin.

‘You’re still immature.’

Of course, Martin’s talent was better than anyone Latun had ever seen.

‘But the emotional ups and downs are too extreme.’

I guess I’m not good at taking care of myself.

It is also a typical and chronic problem that most geniuses have.

And Latun understood Martin’s like that more deeply than anyone else.

‘Because I was like that in the past too.’

Latun let out a small sigh at the sudden rise of old dark history. Rin, who had always been with me back then, smiled softly and asked if she had heard a sigh.

“How about some help? Just like when Latun was helped by Master.”

The eyes twinkle like stars.

Also, the remote area is wide.

“… okay.”

Latun liked Rin so much that he searched all over the dimension.

‘Master… … .’

A master I hadn’t seen in longer than Rin.

I remembered him and looked at Martin.

‘I mean, they seem oddly similar.’

Latun tilted his head and sent his thoughts to Martin, who resembled his teacher.

* * *

[Don’t be fooled. That’s bluffing.]

It’s a voice I’ve never heard before.

A transcendentalist who revived the dead by turning back time, saying it was a commemoration he had seen for the first time.

He was definitely the owner of the voice in my head right now.

‘Latun… Is that correct?’

[right.]

Why is Latun here?

Could it be that you’ve been following me all this time?

‘… Stalking by any chance?’

Just as I was getting goosebumps, I heard a voice again.

[Stalking! I was just looking for you because I was interested in you! Even now, I was afraid that you would be in danger, so I came here myself! Do you feel sorry for me to hear that?]

‘… … .’

If this isn’t stalking, what is stalking?

[And things like stalking are not important right now. That guy is lying now.]

Come to think of it, it was called bluffing.

I also know the meaning of the word bluffing because I watched a lot of movies on Earth.

I said it was bluffing when playing cards.

‘… So you’re saying that the demon king isn’t a transcendent?’

[Well… I’ve become a transcendental person, but I’m not perfect… Can I say that?]

‘Then what is this power?’

[I told you. I’ve become a transcendentalist, at least half of it. We call such a quasi-transcendent.]

Are you saying you’re a transcendental person or not?

‘Tell me in detail.’

[The bastard’s body itself is in a state of being out of mortal life. They have surpassed the limits of their species, and the limitations of their lifespan have been lifted. Up to this point, it’s like a transcendent. But I can’t handle karma properly. I explained it in a lengthy way, but well, in a word, it’s half a penny.]

The fact that the limitation of lifespan has been lifted means that it will not die without external factors.

Latun was treating such an existence as half a penny.

Should I say that it is also a divine being?

Until now, I felt like a close brother next door.

‘But wasn’t the demon king originally a transcendent? The body has entered the path of transcendence, how can it not deal with the karma it dealt with before?’

[I was in a hurry. It’s too much because I’m really going to die from being beaten so badly.]

‘Five… … .’

[Look at that smile. The inside must be rotting?]

I remember what the demon king said while laughing.

– Thank you. Thanks to you, I was able to regain my strength a little earlier.

You said it was smoke?

‘I forgot.’

But when I think about it, it’s a bit strange.

‘Then what is this holding my arm?’

Even now, I feel divine power in the demon king’s hand.

You can’t handle karma, but you can use divine power?

[Well… What should I say about this… … .]

Latun, who had been drawing moxibustion for a while, continued with a voice that was a little troubled.

[The divine power you are using right now.]

‘yes.’

[I don’t know what you would think… That’s really weak.]

What is this sound?

You converted 10,000 points of karma?

Oh, of course, if the power of the source I’m focusing on right now is about 2,000 points.

But even so, those 2,000 points are by no means small.

‘… I don’t think this is a weak force.’

[Of course, for you, a mortal, to use divine power is a tremendous thing in itself. But from my standards, that divine power isn’t that great.]

‘… … .’

By your standards, things aren’t like that.

[But you don’t have to be so downhearted. It’s because it’s like that when you look at the capacity itself. I admit that the divine power you are using now is incredibly pure.]

After a while Latun continued talking.

Of course, as always, the inner conversation was so fast that even that term passed by in an instant.

[The old demon king was really strong. You shouldn’t look at me lightly just because I’m arguing with you. Because when he was a whole, he was a strong man who fought with me for hours. Compared to then, now it’s just a level of fighting without moving your body and just blowing your breath.]

… If you go so far as to say don’t be discouraged, I’m becoming too shabby.

[As I said, the current demon lord can’t handle karma properly. But if you put it another way, it means that you can’t handle it ‘properly’, but you can handle it. In the case of the current demon king, it seems possible to instinctively change karma into divine power.]

‘… … ?’

[Look at me even now. The god power you wear around your wrist is as good as a rat tail, but after all, god power is god power, right? But the devil is holding on to it casually. It means that he can use his divine power at the moment of need.]

As expected, he was right that he could use divine power.

[You know that everything has karma, right?]

know.

The way I earn karma is by killing the bad guys and taking back the karma they have accumulated.

[Karma is not the exclusive property of living things. It’s not a lot, but even the shoes you’re wearing are karma. Karma remained in the seed of the demon king I planted in the past. Of course it wasn’t much. Because he fought with me and almost went to the brink of extinction.]

‘Not many… … .’

[Do not misunderstand. As far as I can see, that’s how it is. The demon lord’s current divine power can be said to be at the level of scraps, but if you compare it to the divine power you have now, well… not as good as you It is relative.]

‘Well… … .’

I see what you mean.

The important thing is that the demon king’s divine power is comparable to mine.

[This is all I know about the demon lord right now. If you’re not confident… i can help It’s my fault that the demon king ended up like that. how is it? Shall I handle it?]

Without thinking, I answered right away.

‘No, I will.’

If Latun’s words are true, I think I can deal with the demon king somehow.

There’s no reason for Ratoon to lie to me.

Above all, you shouldn’t get help even for the karma you’ll get by defeating the demon lord.

[Hahaha, this is my junior. I will watch.]

‘Yes, thanks for the info. But I hope you will refrain from stalking me from now on.’

[What? No, when I… … .]

Covering his ears, he turned his attention away from the talkative Latun.

The demon king’s eyes turn diagonally behind the stand. It must be paying attention to the Sword Saint who is constantly aiming for the gap of the demon lord.

‘Just by looking at this, he’s definitely not a transcendental person.’

If the Demon King was a transcendental being with perfect power, I wouldn’t have to worry about the Sword Saint, even if I didn’t know how to handle the power of the source.

Of the 10,000 points that were converted into the power of the source, about 9,000 points remained.

I added 1,000 points of strength to the arm that was holding it. and even pushed

Kuduk-

pushed

It was an arm that felt like it wouldn’t budge when deceived by the devil’s words. So I didn’t think I could win even if I converted all my karma into source power. However, only 3,000 points, an increase of 1,000, is pushing the demon king with only the power of the source.

As I witnessed with my own eyes the seemingly irresistible enemy being pushed back, realization came.

‘I have a habit of hitting the opponent up.’

Admit it.

I don’t know if it’s because I live a life chased by aborigines, but I always tend to assume the worst situation at any moment.

Of course, it’s good to be cautious.

The problem is that there are many cases where the assumption is eventually accepted as truth.

‘The environment is different from back then.’

When there weren’t many strong enough to overwhelm me like Aboriginal, such caution usually brought good results.

Having an already strong enemy in front of you and having the worst in mind, assuming that you are unmatchable will lead to defeat even in a winnable situation.

Moreover, I have already experienced that situation not once or twice, but many times.

It shouldn’t be like this.

‘I have to be a bit more daring.’

You have to be able to see the other person as they are, as they appear.

Even when faced with someone stronger than you, you must be able to attack without despair.

Just like that swordsman.

Even now, when the demon king is slightly pushed away, isn’t he rushing at it without missing the gap?

‘How did this mentality come about?’

The swordsman rose from behind me and struck the sword at the demon king’s head.

widely.

The demon king raised his free arm and grabbed his sword, which was embodied in strong energy.

It was absurdly easy to get caught, but it became a great opportunity for me.

‘You’re not the only one with two arms.’

At that moment, I concentrated 3,000 source power on my free left arm and slapped the demon king’s face.

bang!!

I thought as I watched the demon lord bounce back, missing everything he was holding with both hands.

‘Latun said that the demon king and I have similar divine powers.’

If the power is not enough, increase the power.

I used karma while chasing the demon king with the swordsman.

‘Converts 5,000 karma into the power of the source.’

『The Seeker of Good (EX)

Steals the evil one’s karma.

Possession Karma: 7,110』

Finally, the holding karma has dropped to four digits.

It’s okay though.

If you catch the demon king, a huge amount of karma will come in, so let’s think that you draw it in advance.

“synthesis!”

After using it often, I got used to the power of the source before I knew it.

Running towards the demon lord, he transferred the power of the source from his arms to his legs and from his legs to his waist.

It’s as comfortable as mana handling.

And that comfort brought me tremendous freedom.

“stop!”

He stretched out his hand and unleashed the power of the source toward the demon king.

Unlike the time when he was forged and thrown with a spear, the power of a pure source that was not mixed with any magic power changed like a huge hand and caught the demon king’s body as he bounced away.

At that moment, the swordsman who was running alongside me flinched and stopped.

It seemed that he was worried that if he flung his sword like this, he would attack my source of power that tightly wrapped around the demon lord’s body without the slightest gap.

‘I don’t have to worry about that.’

Even if he attacked like this, the power of the source would not have interfered with the attack of the Sword Saint.

It’s not called the power of God for nothing.

But I didn’t say that to the Sword Saint.

‘Son, he’s coming soon.’

It was because he could see Kater running from behind the demon lord, holding a sword that felt tremendous power.
