Never Die Extra Chapter 336

Chapter 336

Evan D. Sherden, Added Sub Party (6)

Evan ran down the Magic Circle with Heaven’s Step and asked Christina.

“How do we cancel the magic?”

[We can’t; they already began summoning! Besides…….]

Evan rushed through the air and cheerfully smashed the inner wall that was blocking his eyesight, and entered the huge party hall set up for the grand banquet.

The Magic Circle had a diameter of about 20 meters and was floating above the banquet hall as it flaunted its magnificent prowess. Even at this moment, Mana was flying from all sides and expanding the Magic Circle.

Evan understood as soon as he saw it. He likened it to a hidden boss that only appeared in the DLC.

“It’s so weird. Why am I encountering crazy content one after another before I even meet the Demon King……?”

[It’s sucking the soul and Mana of all the Black Wizards in the estate……. It’s horrifying magic. I wonder how upset the descendants of my family were…]

“Ha, Matthew. This b.a.s.t.a.r.d is going to kick up a stink to the end.”

The very Matthew was rag-dolling on one side of the banquet hall. His body seemed lifeless.

But the other Black Wizards who were with him had turned into ashes without leaving a drop of blood; so, was it fortunate that his body was still there?

“I don’t think he has ever been alive. There’s a lot of nasty mucus……. Ah, s.h.i.+ne!”

[I’m going to s.h.i.+ne now!]

Evan looked around the messy hall and soon found s.h.i.+ne and Anastasia. They were tidying up the battlefield, beating the slimes crawling all over the place; it wasn’t clear where they appeared from.

“Master!”

s.h.i.+ne was looking around when Christina came to his side. He shouted loudly at Evan so that the mana storm could not block his voice.

“It looks like this Magic Circle sucked up the dummies left in our room!”

“Uh…….”

After hearing the words, Evan’s forehead started to sweat. He remembered that they had left the dummies they had made pretending to be in the room.

It seemed that it was sucked into the Magic Circle without resisting as it was a fake, with no conscious power, and only mimicked their magic.

“But it’s just a toy with a little mana in it. When all of us get together, we can help each other by filling out on each other’s shortcomings…….”

Evan learned of his mistake. He came to his senses and tried to replan the operation. The Magic Circle instantly doubled its size and glowed gray.

Evan had never felt Mana like this.

“Master!”

At good timing, Belois and Serena joined the battle. Belois looked unusually nervous.

“It’s inexplicable energy. Maybe even touching it is dangerous…….”

“Hmm, that would be dangerous. I’m going to make up for your ingredients.”

“Okay.”

Meanwhile, Serena came running and grabbed Evan’s arm. He thought she was trying to stabilize herself, but she looked around and found something.

“Oh, s.h.i.+ne! Don’t hurt those slimes!”

“I understand how you feel, Princess. But these jumped out of the Magic Circle that the Black Wizards have sacrificed their lives for! It’s not the time to think they look cute!”

“Foolish s.h.i.+ne, it’s not like that!”

Serena suddenly called s.h.i.+ne a fool and reached out one hand. At that moment, her necklace was s.h.i.+ning, and all the slimes that were wriggling everywhere stopped moving on the spot.

The number was well past three digits.

“Is that…?”

“Wow, they’re incredibly talented. It could have been a little hard.”

“It’s always amazing to see you do that; I wonder what the h.e.l.l that absurd ability is…….”

Even Serena had tamed large quant.i.ties of unidentified slimes with one gesture (which was temporary; of course). Serena stretched her hand forward and clenched her fist.

– Currrrrrrr.

At that moment, the slimes gathered together in one place and were reborn as a huge slime as if it was supposed to be like that from the beginning. It was a very ugly sight, but Serena was satisfied with it.

“Let’s test it for now.”

“You’re relentless against slimes, Ray.”

“I’m the type of person who only cares for my slimes, even if they are cute—and of course, you, Oppa.”

“So, you mean they are cute to you?”

Just in time, the Magic Circles finally gave off their Mana. Evan had a strange look on his face after feeling it. Was it an illusion? No, it was…….

“Matthew’s Mana.”

-Oh, my G.o.d!

Soon after, the Magic Circle broke into pieces, and Matthew’s body, which had been left unattended on one side, was broken down into particles. It was then a.s.sembled into the air and rebuilt.

A giant demon appeared with dark-red skin, long curved horns of a mountain goat on his forehead, and bat-like wings. It was an image of a devil that seemed to appear only in ancient myths.

Among the monsters Evan knew, he looked the most like Baloch, but shockingly, he was bigger than Balrog. Maybe his ability was stronger, too.

-A success……!

Soon after, a voice resembling Matthew’s came out of the monster’s mouth.

It wasn’t just a spell of summoning demons by sacrificing their lives, but a spell of soul transfer that summoned demons and changed their bodies. They were really screwed now.

-You stupid sorcerers. You’ve been against this because you thought your life was too precious to give up, and now look at you! As soon as I become the strongest, the glory of the Benite Order will s.h.i.+ne upon this continent, and you would’ve wished that you had given your life in the first place!

The Benite Order was the largest and most powerful pseudo-religion in Yo-Ma Great War 4 and had many Black Wizards. Above all, there was a ‘talent’ among them that Evan wanted in the church.

As expected, it was the correct answer to visit Leonine first. However, the problem was that it was unknown whether the talent would survive this situation where the Black Wizards were completely dead.

How would’ve Evan known that they would have a Magic Circle that could destroy a whole Dukedom, and even if he could have predicted that, would they be willing to support him? If it weren’t for Christina, the devil would have been a disaster to deal with!

“So, are you Matthew?”

-Well, well. Isn’t it Master Evan? Thank you for giving me a chance to have this body!

Matthew, who had acquired a new body, looked down at Evan with more confidence than ever before. Gray mana was burning in his pupils like that of a reptile.

-But it’s a little strange that you are still alive. It must have absorbed your Mana and completed the Magic Circle……. But it doesn’t matter because the demon summons succeeded, and I got this demon’s body! I will destroy all the foolish people who did not believe me!

So, all that frightening Mana was from the very small amount of Mana he left in the dummies from the room?

Evan kept talking to Matthew, trying to avoid the gaze from his group.

“Are you a descendant of the Black Wizards? You didn’t find out about them in the middle, but you were one of them from the beginning, right?”

-I am their only owner. I’m not a trading partner, but I’m the Lord of the Benite Order!

Matthew smiled pleasantly again when he saw Evan thinking that they have another real Lord.

-This wouldn’t have happened if those foolish things had served me from the beginning…… but it’s not too late now. From now on, I will prove to you that I have the right qualifications to be the Master of this estate and this country. First, Master Evan, I’ll defile your cheeky face!

“Oh, your lines are pretty good. Did you practice them beforehand?”

“…….”

Evan was even feeling refreshed by the standard boss’ pitching after a long time, but somehow, Belois took a step forward.

“I’ll deal with him.”

“Huh, Lua?”

“I can do it.”

Evan got gooseb.u.mps and turned pale when he saw her face. He couldn’t even guess why she was angry.

“No, Lua, of course, I believe in you, but the mana I feel from him is extraordinary…….”

-Yeah, you! I’ll save you. I wanted you from the first time I saw you. Master Evan’s most prized possession; yes, you!

“…….”

Belois got angrier. When she reached silently, Rune Manaz of Harmony slowly appeared in the air. But Matthew was rather pleased to see it.

-I never thought you were dealing with the power of the Rune……! Alright, once I take it away, you’ll be obedient!

It was true as suspected. His body was already covered with demon tattoos!

Evan should a.s.sume that every enemy they face in the future has a Devil Rune. Evan vowed to bully Ctheasil again when he returned to Sherden, and Belois, who saw the Devil Rune carved on his skin, snorted and took another step forward.

Before she knew it, the Orb made of dragon eyes was emerging in front of her. Matthew was astonished and stopped at the spot when the Orb and Belois’ Rune sympathized and glowered darkly. Now, the new Rune was carved into the air.

-She deals with the Rune. But why is it a Devil Rune……!?

“The Rune of Harmony, Manaz.”

Matthew had a fit of rage after finding out about Belois’ power to handle both Rune and Devil Rune. Evan was shedding some stupid impressions while Belois spoke. However, the sight before them was amazing. It was because the Devil Rune, which was supposed to eat the Rune, was creating a new form of power in harmony with her Rune!

“This is the power the Master has given me.”

“No, I never gave you anything like that. What is that? I’m scared…….”

Belois raised her hands high and ignored Evan’s bewilderment. When the Rune she created came up, Matthew realized that she was not an easy opponent, and he reached out and activated his Devil Rune.

As the gray Mana stretched like sticky mucus in sympathy with his Devil Rune and attacked her Rune, Matthew exclaimed triumphantly!

-This is my power created by absorbing Master Evan’s Mana! Nothing can ‘impact’ my Mana and me. I ignored all kinds of power, twisting it in the direction I wanted to return it to! That’s the power of this body! Who dares to challenge me!

“Your explanation is very kind and sweet……!”

Of course, Evan shouldn’t be talking nonsense if the devil’s Mana was actually that strong. However, Evan had time to spare, and now, he could see the enemy roughly.

Matthew’s Mana never contained such enormous power. No, maybe some of theirs were included, but the limitations were obvious. It only absorbed a stint of Evan’s Mana, but how much could be done even if it had his power?

-Oh, my G.o.d……!?

However, Evan had never imagined that it would not be able to penetrate Belois’ Mana and be blocked.

“Rune of Harmony. I already told you.”

Belois said in a stern voice.

The unidentified Mana created by using both Runes’ powers absorbed all the Mana Matthew had fired and soon turned it into her own!

– My, my Mana…… No way! That’s ridiculous!

Matthew denied the reality and stemming from his sagacious spell. Countless magic dust formed in the air, and an unknown torrent of Mana poured out again, but the results were all the same.

The Mana sphere, which was created around the Dragon’s...o...b.. was used to absorb all of the Mana without issues.

[I think he’s a descendant of my family. Some of the spells that make up the magic formula match with me…….]

“Your family is great, too. That means someone survived and eventually mixed blood with the Duke’s family.”

[I died without being able to see my heirs …….]

“Think positively. At least you’re not like that right now.”

[Then I’ll confess nicely that I’ll take care of your future affairs.]

“Yes, I’ll take care of your future affairs, so when this is over, you can be a little more generous.”

[I’m just going to go for it once this is over!]

While s.h.i.+ne and Christina were having such a silly conversation, Matthew screamed when his magic attack was denied.

-How dare you cheat on me, who has been reborn as a G.o.d! I will crush you myself with this power-bearing body! I’ll put your life into the body of a night hag and humiliate you for the rest of your life!

“……!”

Matthew’s blasphemous remarks, which would keep his mouth alive even if he was dropped in a sulfur fire, made Belois’ eyes bloodier.

However, she was not given a chance to vent her anger.

“…….”

– Argh!?

The next moment, Evan, who appeared in front of Matthew, jumped up on the floor and punched an uppercut into his big, ugly face with all his might.

-Ughhhh!

He burst into pieces at that point, failing to relieve the pressure on his body. He burst into pieces and disappeared in a moment with a terrible scream.

If there was a blow that destroyed even the soul, it must have been Evan’s blow just now. Maybe it was thanks to the instant mix of Heaven’s Step and Heaven’s Press, and Evan himself had unexpected destructive power.

“Oh…… sorry. I got a little too excited.”

Evan remembered that he had felt his level rise for the first time in a long time, and only then did he steal the enemy he had promised to leave to Belois.

But when he looked back, his group looked tired, as if they had fought a fierce battle with the Demon King.

“What… what’s wrong?”

“Well, after the Master punched him, the aftermath was a little…….”

s.h.i.+ne, who was on the defensive with Anastasia wrapped around him, said with a shy look. Serena also protected herself with slimes, originally intended to be used as a sandbag. So, the slimes seemed to have disappeared without leaving any trace.

On the other hand, Belois, standing on the other side, shook her head as if it was nothing while collecting the Orb from her arms.

“You don’t have to worry too much, Master, because you’ve been able to relieve most of the pressure with the Mana you took from him.”

“……And you consumed all that overwhelming amount of Mana earlier?”

“It doesn’t matter now.”

Already, the anger was relieved, and Belois flew into Evan’s arms as if she were a b.u.t.terfly fluttering.

“It’s important that you were angry for me, Master.”

“But Lua must have been upset, too, because I took away the opportunity to vent.”

“My anger is gone. I’m happy now.”

“Then…… I am fine.”

“Ahhhhh, I can’t wait to become an adult! I want to hug you!”

It felt natural to destroy the boss monster and have a romance scene afterward. Evan tried to ignore Serena, adding more strength to Belois’ arms.

However, it was not comfortable for him. He wished he could have released the ending credit like this if it was a game, but more complicated things were left in reality.

So, Matthew’s rebellion ended in vain.

On that day, the group saw an ancient devil explode into fireworks.
