Became the Son-in-Law of the Traitorous Family

8. Star of Extinction – 03

As Reiner rushes towards Illivatus, everyone here comes to their senses and picks up their swords again.

The self-professed mercenary was fighting a great evil with a sword right in front of the self-professed knights.

Then they should go too.

If they can’t stop that demon here, the oath they made that day to raise a sword for someone, as that man said, will turn into meaningless tenacity.

And while facing Reiner and the knights rushing towards them, Ilibatus just smiled as if he was having fun and didn’t take any action.

It was just fun. And, in front of his eyes, Reiner, who is revealing his intention to live toward himself, just makes me feel uncomfortable.

It was a chance to see blood for the first time in a long time, but there was no reason for him to reject it.

Ilibatus lightly lifts his crumpled left hand forward.

Kurrureureung!

At the same time, tree trunks that surpassed the size of a reasonable two-story mansion around Illivatus began to wriggle and attack Reiner.

At first glance, the tree trunks, which seem to weigh as little as a ton per trunk, strike the liner as they are. Since the mass itself can be said to be a weapon, its power when hit directly is absolute!

Quaaang!

Rainer is swallowed in the blink of an eye by the flood of tree trunks without even being able to scream. It happened in an instant, without the surrounding knights even having time to save Reiner.

However, there was not much movement on Ilibatus’ face. It was because just before, he couldn’t feel any ‘hand taste’ at his fingertips.

Poo-Wak!

After a while, a flash of light flashed and all the tree trunks around it were cut down. At the same time, the left hand of Ilibatus, which was being pushed forward, also cracked.

“Hmm?”

For a moment, Illivatus looked down at his left hand with something startled.

Are you sure you perfectly measured the distance between you and that human? How on earth did his slashing reach this far?

In this way, Ilibatus hesitated for a moment and the knights of YoRHa rushed towards him. No matter how legendary they are, they are living creatures.

If you put sword energy on your sword and tear it apart, even if it’s impossible to kill, at least it’s possible to incapacitate it!

Pu-wook!

In an instant, more than ten knight’s swords pierced Illivatus’ body. And Ilibatus just received their swords without resistance with his arms hanging down.

“… !”

And in an instant, the body of Illivatus is distorted into a grotesque shape, and within that time, countless demons reminiscent of tentacles explode from his body.

Fuhua Chemistry!

“Aagh!”

“Say, save me!”

The vitality of the knights whose whole bodies were penetrated by Magi quickly disappeared, and soon wrinkles appeared on their faces and age spots began to bloom.

Right now, Illivatus was consuming the knights’ life force and returning it to his own life force. It was a unique skill possessed by demons, Life Drain.

“Sistina!”

Seeing that, Reiner hurriedly called Cirilla’s name. If left as it is, the knights will only become Illivatus’ one-dish meal!

Then, the next moment, the space behind the liner split in two, and a wave of super-heated white flame appeared between them, wiping out all the tree trunks in front of her eyes.

“Quaaa”

The firepower of the flame was so strong that it was not enough to evaporate all the demonic energy that pierced the knights, sweeping Illivatus and all the demons behind him at once.

At the same time, the operation of magic was also very exquisite, so the flames that slithered like living snakes evaded the knights and only hit Illivatus and the demons he spewed out.

“Awesome.”

And the Grand Duchess, who was standing behind Reiner, spit out her words as if admiring Cirilla’s majesty of magic.

If you look at the power of magic alone, it was about the 7th circle that is normally classified as great magic.

I had felt this before, but the fact that I was able to use 7 circles of magic at such a young age just felt really unrealistic.

Meanwhile, Reiner, who instructed Cirilla to use her magic, quietly clicked her tongue.

“… Sistina, I think you should get out of here. I’ll be in charge of that guy, so help the knights and grand princess of YoRHa and take care of all the rest.”

“Yes? What else does that mean? How strong is that? And, no, you are a monster that you will never be able to handle on your own. At least if the two of us attack at the same time, we can have even a slight chance… “

“That’s what I mean. That, it seems, is not something the two of us can catch.”

Roaring!

At the same time, the flames dissipate and Ilibatus reveals himself. Surprisingly, even after being hit directly by Cirilla’s magic, he doesn’t seem to have any major injuries.

Grumble.

No, it wasn’t without any scars. It was just that the speed at which Illivatus restored his own body was much faster than just being injured.

“… All right. I’ll be back soon after dealing with the rest of the miscellaneous soldiers, so do your best and never die. Never.”

“Okay. Do you think I can’t do anything right with my body?”

On the other hand, watching Reiner and Cirilla squabble, Ilibatus smiles as if it is absurd.

“Wow, it’s just funny to think that I’m so underestimated by you guys.”

“What?”

“I haven’t allowed you to do anything, so you dare say the word flee in front of me?”

“… !”

The first syllable was clearly coming from far away, but before I knew it, the new type of Illivatus was deceiving everyone’s eyes and existed by Cirilla’s side.

“You are an incomprehensible being. The degree of achievement of magic itself is insignificant, and a being who knows how to use absolute magic by easily surpassing the established limits.”

In Ilibatus’ judgment, the most dangerous person in this position was none other than Cirilla.

Judging from the amount of magical power she possessed and her achievements, the level was insignificant, but the magic she could wield had reached a level that was not enough to threaten Illivatus’ life. .

So I have to die here. There is a strong possibility that that woman will grow into her worst enemy in the future, to the extent that she cannot be compared to the Grand Duchess.

Shooak!

The dagger in Ilibatus’ hand rushes toward Cirilla’s neck with a horrifying sound. It was a swift slash that even her party, Cirilla, of course, and the Grand Duchess, who had been following Illivatus from start to finish, could not react.

But.

Qua Gaga Gak!

“Hmm?”

However, Illivatus’ slash was blocked in the middle. Reiner, who had come close to Cirilla’s side, was completely blocking Illivatus’ swinging sword.

“… How did you block it? Your senses must have been completely fooled.”

“Well, you asshole.”

Liner’s body starts to move with the crackling sound of thunderbolts. His ankles and waist rotate, and the sword moves from his waist at a speed invisible to the human eye.

Quaaang!

An unbelievable sound echoes in all directions that it is just swords colliding with each other. However, before the sound spread all over the place, the two had already begun their next move.

Zeuong!

In the blink of an eye, the swords of Reiner and Ilibatus collide more than six times. The power contained in each other’s swords was so strong that each time the swords collided, clear ripples were left in the air.

“Heuk!”

However, although he responded to Ilibatus’ attack, a groan erupted from Reiner’s mouth as if he couldn’t shake off the shock.

This is how you lose yourself. Illivatus was also wounded by Reiner’s sword, but his wounds began to regenerate the moment they were cut, while the wounds Reiner received began to seep into the body and corrode the body.

At the moment Reiner reflexively shrunk his body at the subtle pain, the demonic energy attached to Ilibatus’ body was transformed into a large spear for assault and began to shoot at him.

The number of Geochang is seven in total. All seven places he was aiming for were Reiner’s vitals.

“… !”

Poo-Wak!

There is a sound of wind blowing. He flipped his body twice in the air to avoid the large spear, but could not stop the spear from passing past his side.

Zeuong-!

The next moment, Reiner turned his new weapon sideways to block Illivatus’ slash once more.

While Reiner was preoccupied with blocking the giant spear, Ilibatus approached from his blind spot and fired a slash at Reiner.

“Do you block this too?”

Ilibatus’s eyes are shining. The attack of Illivatus earlier was clearly an attack carried out in the blind spot of consciousness.

But I blocked it. Normally, it is normal to not notice until the moment you are attacked, let alone block it, but how on earth?

No, that is not the only question.

Rainer’s movements and physical abilities are far behind and inferior compared to those of Illivatus.

But now, even though it was half a joke, it was enough to block all of Ilibatus’ attacks, and it was not enough to even counterattack him occasionally.

No matter how excellent swordsmanship or taijutsu can make up for the difference in physical ability, there is a definite limit to it.

As far as Ilavatus knows, there is no way to bridge such a huge gap in physical ability…

“… Wait, please.”

In an instant, a memory from a long time ago flashed through Illivatus’ mind.

Memories related to the hateful Elyos woman and the terrible existence that uniquely defeated her head-on.

The nightmare itself of the demons who transcended humans as a human body and ‘hunted’ countless demons who reached the level of transcendence at the end.

The identity of the technology that gives a transcendent sense that is unsuitable to humans is no different…

“The good of the good… “

With a voice like a growl of a beast, Illivatus looked at Reiner with sharp eyes that had never been seen before.

“… Right. I just realized Who are you, and who am I facing swords with? And even whose progress you are following. All.”

The expression of Ilibatus changes completely. Unlike before, he opened his mouth while looking at Reiner as if he was really happy.

“Nice to meet you. Brain medicine… No, God of War. Descendants of those cursed humans.”
