Ron's aura turned gray.
The unpleasant sensation of being consumed by the dark power began, and his vision darkened.
The great body, which had been trained for all of his life without a single apostle, now exuded a dark and ominous aura.
The formless sword also lost its unique transparent color and began to emit a murky gray color. As a result, it lost its uniqueness of being invisible, but its power was so huge that it did not become a weakness in the first place.
The mages of Zipfel could now realize how vast the pressure from the Formless Sword was once it took a visible form.
The sky and the ground were filled with a gray sword aura. In addition, as soon as the Sword of Overlord was opened, the power increased even more, and no matter where they looked, it was filled with gray blades.
But now, the mages of Zipfel were not afraid of him.
The power of the Demon God's orb that was opened was strengthening not only Kelliark Zipfel, but also Zipfel's other mages and fleet.
The dragons roared incessantly. It was because they lost their temper due to the energy of the Demon God's orb, but they did not attack their allies. They waited for orders like a well-trained fighting dog. An order to bite the enemy.
Gaaaaa-!
Except for Kelliark, it was Beloit who showed the most overwhelming presence.
With the energy of the Demon God's orb, Beloit vomited black fire, and the heat that was incomparably stronger pushed away the nearby gray sword energies.
Hoo....
Ron slowly picked his breath and took the stance. The pattern of the newly engraved Sword of Overlord slightly covered his thin body.
His condition was far from perfect. That's why the Sword of Overlord couldn't last longer like the sword saints, but that didn't matter.
The fight probably wouldn't have been too long.
Suddenly, Ron Hairan felt that there was something in common between the Demon God's orb and the 'white stone', which constantly screamed Keek, Keak, and terrible sounds.
The White Stone, the greatest enemy of the patriarch of Hairan.
An ominous stone, a wedge pointing to the end, and the previous patriarch of Hairan have referred to the white stone with many names like that. No one knew the stone's true name, and no one had been able to cut it.
The significance of the stone's existence, which passed down only from patriarch to patriarch, was in 'cutting'. Only when you reach the level where you can cut it, can you stand tall in the history of Hairan.
And yet, there was no one in Hairan who had managed to cut the stone.
In the end, the stone drove Hairan into crisis, still whispering the language of destruction while keeping Dante imprisoned.
Demon God's orb was also like that.
The white stone and the Demon God's orb. If he doesn't cut them down, Hairan will disappear from the world as of today.
"Come, you shameless monsters."
Suaaagh-!
As Ron raised Rashid, it seemed as if a gray mountain suddenly rose in front of the sword emperor castle. Sword aura formed a barrier in the place of the collapsed and broken walls.
Black flashes were shooting from Hroti again. That black power went through the layers of gray barriers again without hesitation.
However, before Kelliark could confirm that the black flash was reaching Ron, he had to face a sharp blade flying through a crack in the gray barrier.
However, the sword energy quickly dissipated before it touched Kelliark's face. Just like dust disappears before it even touches the fire.
The power of the Demon God's orb was protecting Kelliark and the fleet. In an instant, more than a hundred sword aura fired one after another, disappeared in the same way.
Kelliark slowly reached out his hand to the afterimage left behind by the vanished sword aura. He could only feel the weak heat generated by the power of the Demon God's orb that offset the sword aura.
He didn't take action to defend in earnest, or to avoid it. Even though Kelliark only showed a slight will not to be hit, it completely blocked Ron's sword aura.
'... Chiron, have you always felt this way when you see those opposing you?'
Kelliark thought as he swung Hroti again.
The gray swords that Ron fired were being torn apart mercilessly every time he stretched out his Hroti.
The attacks of mages, dragons, and fleets, which had been constantly blocked by the formless sword, were much more effective than before. Ron had not dodged any of their attacks even once until the Demon God's orb was opened.
Before the attack approached him, he either cut them with a formless sword wind or blocked them while standing in place.
But now, Ron was pouring sweat as he walked back and forth between the castle wall and the gray aura he had formed.
Ron did not dwell on this fact.
He just silently held his sword, surveyed the battle, and counterattacked whenever he had the chance.
As each second passed, the scars were growing above the engraved pattern of the Sword of Overlord.
[Kia-ah!]
Like a tidal wave, the black fire of Beloit rushed into the castle. The gray barrier exploded and 30% of the wall on the left side was completely destroyed, and Ron blocked Beloit from entering the gap.
As Beloit charged, the space distorted, creating a shockwave and a roar. Ron's Rashid, which swung head-on, slammed down at Beloit's head, but did not cut it. It was as if swords clashed and were fighting for strength.
When the clash was over, Beloit was the first to retreat, but it was Ron who was bleeding. A handful of warm, hot blood flowed back up his throat.
"Kah...!"
He spat out blood, and before it could touch the ground, black fire and flashes covered Ron. Fire pierced his chest and flashes pierced his shoulders.
Because of this, the fleet and dragons bombarded him as soon as he calmed down for a while. It was the first time he had been subjected to such a one-sided attack after earning the name Sword Emperor.
Kiiii...…!
The Demon's God's orb continued to laugh at Ron. The mages of Zipfel, the dragons, and Beloit felt that way. They were already intoxicated with victory and madness.
But Kelliark thought differently.
'Is the Demon God's orb...… feeling uneasy? Did it judge Ron is still a threat?'
Kelliark couldn't immediately figure out why.
The battle was really overwhelmingly one-sided. Even though Ron still had some power left, Kelliark was still only using part of the Demon God's orb's power.
Even if he didn't understand it, he had no doubts. There were currently over thirty gods dwelling in the Demon God's orb, and the total sum of their wills produced an absolute conclusion.
Kelliark's gaze fell to the ground. He saw Jin and his group, who had just entered the castle to escape the aftermath of the battle, and Octavia and the Spectres pursuing them.
Ron was unable to use his full strength to prevent the impact from reaching there.
'Maybe it's because of the divine power of the shadow that dwells in Jin Runcandel.'
The Demon God's Orb was superior to what Andrei had, but it was not yet in perfect condition.
Shadow.
The Demon God's orb could never be completed unless the power of the Solderet was obtained. Even if the power of all the gods except him and the gods who have already died or disappeared were combined.
"Where are you looking, Kelliark!"
Ron's blade broke through the barrage and came right in front of Kelliark.
Unlike before, this sword energy couldn't be casually dispelled with a mere will. As he swung the Hroti to erase the sword energy, his wrist felt sore.
It was surprising that he could feel pain even though he had assimilated with the Demon God's orb.
He thought that perhaps the ancient race that vanished after resisting the gods had also provoked the wrath of the gods in a similar manner.
"Don't worry. For now, killing you is the priority."
Wow...!
Like a tumor, spheres of black fire began to form in the sky.
The five Annihilating Dark Sky Flame Orb transformed by Kelliark and strengthened by the Demon God's orb was aimed at Ron. In terms of simple power, it was superior to Riol's Legacy 2nd version.
Even when Ron saw that, he did not withdraw the power used for ground defense. Kelliark narrowed his eyebrows as if displeased.
"Did my words sound like lies?"
Following Kelliark's staff, a black flame orb first fell into the Sword Emperor Castle. Beloit continues to pressure Ron to prevent him from avoiding the Black Flame orb.
But Ron had no intention of avoiding it in the first place.
Shhhh...!
The gray Rashid made a low resonant sound, and the pattern of the Sword of Overlord engraved on Ron's body grew thicker. Ron's gray eyes were firm and steady as he looked up at Beloit and the black flame orb.
Sword Emperor, 1st decisive killing move.
Rashid gave off a gray glow.
Enormous energy engulfed the darkness spread all over the place and it's enough to cause even Beloit to reflexively retreat, who was strengthened with the Demon God's orb.
The gray light that gushed endlessly from the sword emperor took its place, revealing the majesty of the Overlord, and at that moment, the expression of the Demon God's orb floating like an ominous moon wavered.
'This sword is like….'
Kelliark couldn't help but think of a sword he had faced long ago.
The Sword of Overlord was originally a sword modeled after the sword of Runcandel, for the decisive battle against Runcandel.
That's why all the Swords of Overlord resemble Runcandel, but that doesn't mean that they are just clumsy imitations of unblessed bodies.
The Sword of Overlord was made to defeat Runcandel.
Meteor destroyer.
It resembles the Runcandel 3rd decisive killing move meteor shower.
The sword that Kelliark recalled was the third decisive killing move of Runcandel, which was directly used by Chiron, and the first decisive killing move of Sword of Overlord.
It was a sword forged to overcome the meteor shower of Runcandel.
The air was split in half along the direction of Rashid's trajectory. The gray sword aura rising from the gap took away the space that the black flames had engulfed, and took control again.
Kaaaaaaaaa!
The voice of the Demon God's Orb carried a thicker sense of anxiety and rage than before. It seemed to say, "Do you dare to think that humans are allowed to possess such power?"
Beloit pulled back and roared. It was impossible to block the gray aura of the gushing meteor destroyer.
As soon as Beloit evaded, Kelliark dropped the remaining four flame orb at once, but speed did not come out because of repulsive power.
It wasn't that much, but they were scattered before they even reached the wall. The five flame orb had already lost their power and their form could not be called an orb.
"You just said a moment ago that you didn't know you would use the power of the Demon God's orb against me....… The same goes for me.."
"It's not just a hidden power... by any chance, are you growing stronger as you face me?"
Kelliark narrowed his eyes in such conviction, and Ron, holding a handful of scattering black flames, clenched his fist, extinguishing them.
"No matter how this fight ends today... You and I will lose a lot. And the real winner won't be you or me. It will be the children."
