Volume 3 Chapter 37 Poisonous Sea, Hand of Light
I punched the Demon Lord's child, Ruzzel, sending him flying.
He rocketed through the ceiling, a blur of motion like a rebounding comet.
I took flight, following after him.
He'd been blown quite a distance.
The Eye of Divine Magic told me he was nearby, but all I saw was the vast, endless sea.
Then—
A deep gurgling sound.
Violet slime spread across the water, bubbling violently.
And suddenly—
A dragon emerged.
A massive, writhing beast of pure venom.
'Fuhahaha! What do you think...? This is my Secret Art (Extra Skill) [Cursed Venom]!'
The voice belonged to Ruzzel.
Secret Arts—the ultimate abilities attained by the chosen through relentless training.
'Once activated, my skill will secrete an endless tide of death! As long as I exist, this poison will never fade!'
The monstrous dragon roared, shaking the heavens.
The once-beautiful sea turned into a festering, toxic abyss.
I exhaled. "I see. You intend to drown the world in poison."
Wouldn't it have been better to use this from the start?
Then again, this power destroys indiscriminately—friend, foe, and even the land itself.
What's the point of ruling if there's nothing left to rule?
Perhaps that's why he hesitated.
'Fuhaha! Are you speechless before my ultimate technique? Trembling in fear?'
I stood atop the poisoned sea, the thick, viscous sludge holding me like solid ground.
"No. I'm just surprised by how stupid you are."
'Whatever you do is futile!'
From the toxic depths, countless dragon heads rose, slithering toward me.
Trying to drown me, huh?
Not a chance.
I met Ruzzel's burning gaze. "Do you even know who I am?"
'You're the Demon Lord, right!?'
I smirked. "Yeah. But before I was the Demon Lord... I was a doctor."
My right fist clenched.
A brilliant holy light crackled around it, burning against the darkness.
"Do you really think poison would work on me, the one who heals and saves?"
'DIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!'
I sighed. "You idiot."
The poison dragons surged forward.
I met them with a single strike.
A flash of divine radiance.
The holy light exploded outward, erasing every last trace of venom. The corrupted sea, the toxic storm—all of it was purified in an instant.
The world was restored.
'GAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!'
As for Ruzzel—he had become poison itself. And to him, my Right Hand of Divine Magic was the deadliest toxin of all.
The light consumed him whole.
Nothing remained.
Not even a fragment.
