Emperor of Steel Chapter 770 - Final Battle 4

Chapter 770: Final Battle 4

Once the agreement or bet with Crown was done, Luke got ready for the battle.

First, he looked over at the condition of Avenger, which seemed broken.

Crown had struck the Gigant, making its armor severely damaged. Its arms were also torn, yet Avenger seemed fine to move.

Above all, the core engine was alive.

‘Nice, I can still use it!’

However, in reality, Avenger wasn’t really in a good state.

Due to that, Luke took out all the spare Gigants he had stored in his subs.p.a.ce bracelet.

2 Knight cla.s.s Gaius, and 4 warrior cla.s.s Stiletto.

Luke drew the magic circles on the ground to activate the Marionette magic to control all of his Gigants.

‘It is still a theory, but maybe…’

The Demon King wasn’t going to get overpowered by the demon abilities or any other demon related skills. And there was a high chance for Crown to absorb the Magi.

If that was the case, Luke would have to deal with the demon with his sword, Divine power, and magic.

What Luke was drawing on the ground was an integrated magic circle that would bring together the power of all the seven core engines of the Gigants.

By bringing in the collected energy with his body, he would be able to increase his magic power or even his sword skill by 10 times.

The problem was that the method of doing it was still just a theory and was never used in battle.

He had planned to refine the magic circle by conducting experiments and using the trial and error method, but to prevent Crown from raging in the world, Luke had to use it.

“Kuekk, do you really think that summoning such metal dolls would prevent my attack?”

Seeing Luke draw magic circles on the ground, Crown shrugged his shoulders.

“You see, I am going to show you the combat of a new era!”

Seeing Luke speak back to him, Crown’s mouth curled into a smile.

He remembered seeing a family he had fought a very long time ago.

‘I feel like I am seeing Achilleon’.

A thousand years ago.

Human warriors were active members of the G.o.ds.

Among them, there was a warrior who was blessed by Mars and the Dragon G.o.d. His name was Achilleon.

Achilleon’s body, which was blessed by the War G.o.d and the Dragon G.o.d, made him a skilled person in magic and sword.

In addition to that, Mars had awarded him with a sword, and he turned out to be a tough opponent for Crown.

‘But the thing which impressed me about him was his fighting spirit that didn’t know how to give up.’

He was able to see the same strong will in the humans in front of him.

“Human King, how about you withdraw that bet?”

“I refuse to do so. I will surely stop your blow.”

“Is it because if you withdraw, you would save just your life and not the life of the others?”

Crown spoke appealing words about withdrawing.

However, Luke only answered him with the sound of Aether Globe getting converted into Mana circle.

Kiiiiiik!

As the core engine of the seven Gigants accelerated to the apex at the same time, Luke’s magic began to increase exponentially.

With the ground around him cracking, rocks shattered and the debris all over the place started to rise. There were also blue sparks fluttering in the sky.

“I will not be begging for my own life or of the others.”

“Kuek, nice! Only then will one be called a hero!”

With a smile on his lips, Crown clenched his right fist.

His posture was rather simple, but the amount of Magi that was gathered around his fist was beyond imagination.

Like a black hole, it seemed to suck up every little Magi on Middle-earth.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

The Magi that formed around his fist began to circulate with sparks around it.

Each of the sparks around his fist had the same amount of power that any Advanced Demon ability had.

If that fist was directed properly, even the sky might crack or the earth could get destroyed.

‘Ahh, dad…!’

“Your Majesty, please overcome it!”

‘Oh, G.o.d! Give His Majesty strength to win!’

Starting from Karen, all the troops knelt on the ground and prayed for Luke.

They were all worried yet hoping for Luke to win the battle against the Demon King.

However, Luke seemed to be alright.

It was not because he already gave up on the battle or anything, but it was because he knew that calmness could change the flow of a battle.

If he was worried, it would turn difficult for the linked magic of seven Gigant’s core engine to be controlled, and it was possible that once the control got lost, the Gigants would collide.

“Human King, are you ready?” Asked Crown with an arrogance filled voice. Luke picked up Holy Sword Valiant as his answer to Crown.

With his lips forming a creepy smile, Crown raised his fist.

“Receive this, a gift from the strongest Demon King ever!”

“Rakan! Show me the future!”

As Crown struck his fist, Luke ran ahead.

He had already interlocked 7 Gigants and amplified the magic at once, and he placed it on Valiant. At the same time, he unfolded the second half of the Gold Sword, the strongest sword on the continent, and used Cyclonic Rage and Clock-up Sword simultaneously.

He used the magic and Rakan’s sword that he had seen from his days as Saymon.

And all the power he generated was getting placed on the Holy Sword Valiant, which had to clash with the fist of the strongest Demon King.

Kiiing!

Kw.a.n.g! Kw.a.n.g!

The moment the power of the two met, a disastrous sound that was never heard in any war resounded on the land and the heavens.

Was it that sound that ran around the universe when the planets formed?

The battle between the strongest Demon King and the strongest hero of Middle-earth made the earth distorted for a second.

At the point where the two collided, the ground cracked as if the land was breaking apart. The water that was around them turned into a tsunami that spread in all directions.

“Stop that!”

“Ahhhhh!”

Wizards and warlocks instinctively deployed s.h.i.+eld magic.

Riders of the Gigant used all the auras on the s.h.i.+elds to stop the shockwaves from hitting the ground troops.

Yet, the shockwave just broke through everything. Not just the troops, but even the Gigants were blown away.

“Hiik!”

“Ugh! This was beyond what I expected!”

Unlike a.r.s.ene, who was scared out of his mind, Bargosa was calm.

Rather than forcing the shockwaves to stop, he let the shockwave hit him, yet he maintained his stance in the midst of that disaster.

However, there were a lot of people who managed to hold their composure.

‘I knew that she was no ordinary girl.’

Bargosa looked at Karen, who had piqued his interest from the beginning.

Karen, who was flying in the sky, overcame the shockwave.

‘Dad…!’

Karen was looking for Luke.

In the place where the center point of the crack started, Luke and Crown were standing still.

Almost like the stone statues of the ancient heroes, depicting a scene from the myths.

Their stillness made her wonder if time stopped until a low sound escaped from the place.

Crack-!

The cracks in the s.p.a.ce, which had formed around the two like a spider web, began to close themselves. The Aether that went still on the land began to flow again.

As s.p.a.ce got restored, Luke and Crown seemed to return back to life.

“Ahhh!”

The eyes of Karen and the troops, who were looking for Luke’s wellbeing, shone with light.

Kw.a.n.g!

The moment Luke moved on the ground, the seven Gigants fell to the ground with a heavy explosion.

“Y-your Majesty!”

“Dad!”

As everyone screamed looking at the scene, dust sank to the ground.

As if a meteor had fallen from the sky, the explosion created by the seven Gigants had created a huge crater on the ground.

However, Luke wasn’t seen.

Maybe he was buried deep in the ground, or his body might have turned into ash.

“Kua. Ah. Ah. Ah. Ah! He is. Dead! Thank you! Finally. He. Is. Dead! Thank you, Demon. King!”

While a.r.s.ene was feeling happy and yelling gleefully, Crown yelled at him, “Huh, I did nothing to please you!”

“Even. Then. Thankful! I am thankful. To. You!”

Yet, despite his winning the bet, Crown’s face didn’t look that great.

It held a tinge of sadness.

“Demon King, it worked…!”

Bargosa, who was speaking with Crown, turned shocked as the dust cleared.

“De-demon King!”

“I knew it, he was no ordinary man.”

Thud!

The moment when Crown said that with a smile and turned his head, his right horn got taken down.

No G.o.d or hero was able to even cut down any Demon King’s horn.

Shocked, Bargosa and a.r.s.ene looked over at the place where the light was flas.h.i.+ng.

It was the point where the crater was formed.

The ground seemed to move as if something was moving under him and from there came out Luke.

“Pooo… Haaa!”

His body was covered with bloodstains, and he was still holding onto his sword.

He seemed like he could collapse with just a slight touch of a human, yet his eyes were staring at Crown.
