No matter how long she walked, the huge river that seemed to be visible from anywhere was no longer visible.
There were many problems because this was a place for the dead. The biggest one was that Simone's vitality was also gradually diminishing.
It was just a red desert, a vast plain, but there was no hesitation in her steps.
The energy of Anasis, which could be felt very faintly from afar, was gradually coming closer.
It's different from when she used to wander aimlessly without knowing where the dungeon was leading.
There was definitely Anasis here.
And it gave off a very ferocious vibe.
Now she's not even scared anymore.
At that moment, Simone's body became heavy for a moment and the nine-foot ghost fell away.
“Ugh...”
As soon as the ice melted, all her strength left her.
After the war, she was barely holding on to the power of the possessed god of death, but now it seemed that even the possession was difficult to maintain.
But it didn't matter.
There's so much mana there that I'll be arriving at soon, do I really need to fill it up?
How long did it take?
Simone stopped walking.
"Ha."
It is truly a sight that makes one laugh out loud.
She didn't even realize that something this big was out there. Seriously...
A swirling black storm. A fog-covered shadow standing in the middle of it all.
Although she couldn't see it clearly, it had a vaguely human shape and glowing red eyes.
'Oh my...'
You seem very angry.
She doesn't really want to think about it, but how upset would it be to absorb the Demon King and return to the original world, only to find out that it was blocked by a river and unable to fulfill its wish?
But it's your own fault.
“That’s why people shouldn’t commit sins.”
It's a simple statement, but could there be a word that touches Anasis's sore spot more than this at this moment?
Simone doesn't know what she did in her past life, but she ended up having to cross the most dangerous river.
Looking at the writing in Janie's notebook, could it be that she was a murderer who committed murder in her past life as well?
Shhhhhh!
Her skin was scratched by the black storm that grew more violent as if venting its anger.
Simone slowly calmed herself down, straightening her fluttering hair.
The power that even the Demon King had absorbed was so painful and rough, but it wasn't to the point where it was unbearable.
“Phew.”
Simone took a deep breath and began to absorb Anasis's mana as it brushed past her skin.
The absorption itself was not difficult, as it was the same mechanism as absorbing the aura of death from a dead human.
However, it was quite difficult to selectively absorb Anasis' mana in the black storm mixed with the Demon King's power.
“You’re interrupting me again..."
Anasis's voice came mixed into the storm.
Simone ignored her voice and focused on what she had to do.
No, it's not that she ignored it, she just didn't have the luxury of fighting back.
The storm grew much stronger as if it had noticed that Simone was absorbing its mana.
Simone, whose ice had melted and whose stamina had already been greatly reduced, was pushed back helplessly.
But the absorption continued. Sadly, she's used to getting hurt or sick now, so it's not something to be upset about.
'No one will worry about you right now, even if you make a fuss.'
Anasis' power was indeed enormous.
Even though Simone only absorbed it for a very short time, her mana was quickly restored.
Her physical strength, which was only sufficient to stand still, gradually recovered.
But Anasis couldn't wait for Simone to recover.
Chorrrrrr!
“Ugh!”
She began to fire a barrage of mana arrows at Simone from the storm.
Dozens of arrows raining down at once.
It was much more violent, faster, and more threatening than the last time Simone fought her.
Simone hurriedly put up a barrier to block them, but some of them passed through the barrier and barely grazed Simone's skin.
"Ouch..."
It only grazed her leg a little, but the area around it felt so painful that it felt like it was burning hot.
She was so busy blocking it that she couldn't check the wound, but it must have been pretty serious.
Simone gritted her teeth, strengthened her barrier, and began to absorb Anasis' mana again.
'A little more.'
Just a little more.
Shhhh!
Anasis' attacks became more intense.
Arrows and mana balls were flying indiscriminately. Before Simone knew it, the area around her was filled with black fog.
Simone looked at Anasis, her eyes stinging from the poison of the black storm.
Was she losing her mind due to anger? Anasis was not able to defend herself properly compared to the attacks that were pouring down.
If the time is right, Simone might be able to attack her defenselessly just once.
At that moment, the ghost of the old man who had fallen off at a perfect time returned and pressed down on Simone's body.
It seemed like enough mana and stamina had been recovered to make it possible to cast spells.
“Phew...”
After a while, she felt a pain that felt like her head was going to burst, and the nine-legged ghost possessed her, and as if nothing had happened, her mana began to flow out.
'It's now.'
Simone drew up the mana in her body to its maximum and sent it flying at Anasis.
Hurrruk!
The mana sent by Simone quickly extended towards Anasis, and black fog split in all directions along with it.
The mana ball that flew forward while creating a black path hit Anasis directly.
“...!”
Boom-!
Mana exploded as soon as she touched Anasis.
Anasis, who had lost her mind and was just continuing to attack, was hit by Mana without even being able to properly defend herself, and Simone quickly ran towards her during this gap.
'Hurry up!'
Simone had to catch Anasis before she escaped before she was blocked by the Mana Storm again.
It would have been great if she could have killed her like this, but unfortunately for Simone, who had just recovered her health, all she could do was stop the raging storm.
But finally, she saw Anasis, who was attacking Simone while hiding in the fog and storm.
Well... It was a sight that made you wonder if it really had to be like that.
Both hands, feet, and half of the face were eaten by the Demon King's power, and her form was lost.
It looked like she had turned black and rotted away, or like she had been covered in mana and was trying to form the shape of a dragon.
Human bodies that could not handle the power of the Demon King and the monsters burst or lost their vitality and became limp.
The eyelids surrounding the red, glowing eyes were also droopy and unsightly, looking like they would pop out at any moment.
Isn't that exactly what a fallen human being looks like?
Simone thought so and quickly approached Anasis and grabbed her by the neck.
“Ugh...!”
Simone has never moved this fast.
The grip of the hand holding Anasis's neck was very weak, but with the addition of mana, it became a plausible noose to strangle Anasis.
Anasis created a huge wave of mana and swept over Simone without showing any sign of distress.
Waves that felt like they would crush her to death came one after another, once, twice.
Simone barely managed to block this and focused all her energy on subduing Anasis.
“Ugh...”
Even though they've captured Anasis, it's still too disadvantageous.
As with Anasis, there weren't many techniques available to the necromancer in this location.
Dealing with Anasis, who absorbed the Demon King with only mana attacks, without any souls to draw from or skeletons to plant, was like hitting an egg against a rock.
If they continue this bare-handed fight, Simone's side will definitely get crushed.
'I have to get out of here.'
She had to get out of this dungeon or whatever passageway she was in before she could use everything she had to deal with Anasis.
At that moment, Simone heard a mocking laugh in her ear.
“With just this much power.”
Anasis also noticed that Simone was not able to attack enough to kill her, so she started spreading her mana even more fiercely.
The sight of the pitiful human being before her was utterly insignificant.
Anasis didn't know what confidence Simone had to take all the attacks and hold on, but as long as they were in Samdocheon, Anasis was the one who had the advantage.
Now Anasis has great powers even without the power of a necromancer.
'I am God.'
Soon even the god of death will be trampled upon.
The human girl in front of her eyes had already been taken over by Anasis' power, and half of her body had turned pale as if she had been poisoned.
Despite this, she did not let go of the hand that was grabbing her neck.
'How foolish.'
Even so, it's just urging the order...
At that moment.
Jiing-!
"...What!"
Suddenly, a large magic circle appeared under Simone and Anasis' feet.
It was at that time that Simone's expression, which had been becoming increasingly stiff, changed.
“You did it.”
Simone smiled slightly and looked at Anasis, who was embarrassed.
No matter how much she thinks about it, there is no answer in Samdocheon.
It is not easy to face the incredibly strong Anasis alone.
Then what should we do? We need to get this monster out of here quickly.
Cough.
The moment Simone vomits out the blood she had been holding back.
BANG!!!!
Cracks began to appear in the sky above Samdocheon with a loud noise that shook the ground.
