Chapter 116: The Power of the Four Heavenly Demon Generals
ㅤ”Be devoured by my spear, Demon King!”
ㅤ
ㅤGrunblin thrusts her spear at Arsh, who is unable to move after falling.
ㅤ
ㅤThe black, ominous spear splits open at its tip, transforming into a large jaw with a full set of fangs that closes in on Arsh.
ㅤ
ㅤ”I’m in time!”
ㅤ
ㅤI barely managed to cut in between Grunblin and Arsh.
ㅤ
ㅤWhile deploying the defensive barrier I learned from Lewis-san, I take out the Wand of Regret and hold it in front of me.
ㅤ
ㅤGrunblin’s magic spear breaks through the defensive barrier and bites firmly onto the Wand of Regret.
ㅤ
ㅤThe Wand of Regret creaks and trembles.
ㅤ
ㅤ”Arsh! Run! I can’t hold it for long!”
ㅤ
ㅤI shout to Arsh behind me, cold sweat dripping down my entire body.
ㅤ
ㅤ”Ah, my legs won’t move! My ankle is bent—”
ㅤ
ㅤI glance back at Arsh’s scream, using only the corner of my eye.
ㅤArsh is holding his ankle.
ㅤIt’s probably a sprain.
ㅤA human could probably endure the pain and run away, but Arsh, who has only recently obtained a physical body, is frightened by the unfamiliar pain.
ㅤ
ㅤ”Run even if you break your leg! I’ll heal you later!”
ㅤ
ㅤ”Guh, ku… I, I understand—”
ㅤ
ㅤ”You have the nerve to chatter in front of me, little insect!”
ㅤ
ㅤSupporting the magic spear that’s biting onto the Wand of Regret with just her right hand, Grunblin raises her empty left palm upwards.
ㅤ
ㅤAn intensely bad feeling washes over me.
ㅤ
ㅤ”Kuh!”
ㅤ
ㅤI forcefully jump back and shove Arsh away.
ㅤWith that momentum, the magic spear detaches from the Wand of Regret, grazing my right shoulder as it passes.
ㅤJust from that, the drop-item shoulder guard shatters, and blood gushes from my right shoulder with a sharp pain.
ㅤ
ㅤ”Mi, Minato!”
ㅤ
ㅤArsh, who fell to the ground after being pushed and lost his footing, cries out to me as I collapse.
ㅤ
ㅤ（So… run away!）
ㅤ
ㅤI tried to shout, but no sound came from my throat.
ㅤ
ㅤThat’s because an evil wave is invading from my right shoulder, causing my body to convulse.
ㅤ
ㅤ”That wasn’t a bad sideshow before the main dish.
ㅤBut—this is the end, little insect!”
ㅤ
ㅤGrunblin thrusts another magic spear, created in her left hand, towards me—
ㅤ
ㅤ
ㅤ”N-noooooo!”
ㅤ
ㅤ
ㅤIn an instant, a white light fills my consciousness.
