Chapter 192: Lunar and solar eclipse
Translated by SoundDestiny

A jet-black miasma overflowed from the Dahlslave. A huge torrent of energy spiralled around the holy sword.
“I misunderstood the power of the Dáinsleif.”
The treasure of the Kingdom of Zain -Dáinsleif is the holy sword that controls the “curse”. It had the power to poison, paralyse, petrify and plunge into sickness those who were exposed to its miasma.
But, the reality may not seem to be the truth.
The essence of the Dáinsleif is different. The curse was only one part of its power.
“The real attribute of the Dáinsleif is ‘distortion’. It’s all about distorting what should be”
By distorting the normal state, it causes abnormalities such as poisoning, paralysis and petrification. This is what the ‘curse’ is all about.
The reason why the Dáinsleifs inner workings, [Eat God Wolf Fenrir], can annihilate all things is because the result of distorting the existence of that thing to the extreme is that it can no longer exist in the world.
“If the attributes of the Dáinsleif is not a ‘curse’ but a ‘distortion’, then there are other things I can do ……!”
“Ooooooooooooooo!”
The hundred eyes of Ruluve shone brightly and rained monstrous rays of light down on Raidorl.
But…..suddenly, Raidorl stops evading.
Without moving, they stand firm on the ground to face the monstrous rays of light.
“Fighting method… [Lunar Eclipse Hati]!”
“……?!”
The space around Raidorl is distorted as if by a mirage.
The monstrous ray of light that was supposed to penetrate his body unnaturally distorted its beam and avoided passing through a space with a radius of about one metre around Raidorl.
“My attack …..! What have you done, Raidorl Zain!”
The 100-eyed giant cried out in surprise.
She continued to shoot those mysterious rays from her eyes, but she didn’t seem to hit Raidorl. It’s as if he’s avoiding the monster rays.
“I’m sorry……but I’m not so good-natured as to let you have a souvenir of my death. I’ll give you the answer when I see you in hell, so go ahead and wait for me.”
“……………!”
Raidorl kicked the ground to close the distance between him and Ruluve.
The monster ray doesn’t work. Ruluve raises her huge, eyeballed arm and tries to slam it into Raidorl.
“Hm!”
Raidorl ducks under the arm and slashes it in the opposite direction. The blood flowing from the arm that was hit by the slash is purple. It seems that she is no longer completely human after all.
“At this extent……! Don’t you dare lick it!”
“Uwo?”
Ruluve swung her bleeding arm and smashed it into Raidorl’s torso. He was blown away by the impact, though he defended himself with his holy sword as quickly as he could.
Raidorl was blown more than 10 metres by her powerful arm, but he landed on the ground with his left hand and turned around with acrobatic movements to regain his posture.
“Tsk……doesn’t work so well against physical attacks, does it? I have to choose when to use it!”
Raidorl clicked his tongue loudly.
The new technique that Raidorl had devised: the [Lunar Eclipse]: is a magic sword that distorts space. By distorting the space, the attacker can be deflected and rendered helpless.
However, while the space distortion is highly effective against long-distance attacks and magic, it is not effective against powerful melee attacks.
“It consumes very little magic power. The fact that it can be activated without the use of holy armour is attractive, but…..there is still room for improvement.”
“I’ll crush you! Raidorl Zain!”
Apparently, the weakness of the [Lunar Eclipse] has been transmitted to Ruluve as well.
The hundred-eyed giant, who had stopped her monstrous ray of light, raised her fist at Raidorl with thudding, earth-shattering footsteps.
A huge arm like a log……where there is no laceration from earlier. It seems that this giant has a high self-healing ability. A half-hearted attack will not do any damage.
“……is pretty good, isn’t it? It’s a great test bed for new techniques.”
“Oooooooooooooo!”
A fist slams into him again.
Raidorl dodged by flying backwards……but this time the other arm was raised.
“Ooooooooooooooooooo!
Ruluve shoots out a barrage of fists while screaming from her huge mouth. Raidorl repeatedly back-stepped to avoid the barrage of blows that rained down on him from above.
Ruluve’s fists are obviously lacklustre and messy. But the size of the……fists is incomparable. Countless huge fists were unleashed, creating craters in the plain like a meteor shower.
“What a depressing attack! You know what they say, a few bad arrows can’t hurt you!”
The ground shattered and fragments of stone flew out and hit Raidorl in a hail of bullets. If he hadn’t activated the [Lunar Eclipse], Raidorl’s body would have been pierced by a stone bullet and filled with holes.
Dodging, dodging, dodging attacks……Raidorl finally strike back with a counterattack.
“Sword fighting—Solar Eclipse Sk?ll!”
Raidorl held up his Dáinsleif and mumbled, cloaked in the magic of the swirling miasma.
But……he doesn’t just hold up a sword and swing it. There is no need to do so. The attack had already… began.
“Gah….!?”
The change was immediate.
Two huge arms that were punching incessantly. Both of the giants’ arms, which should have been unharmed, were suddenly slashed to pieces.
The skin, flesh and even bones were cut off, and the remains of the arms, broken down into blocks, were scattered across the plain, spraying purple blood.
“Higi~tsu…… kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!?”
A high-pitched scream is emitted from the giant with a hundred eyes.
The pain came late, and it was the concentrated pain of dozens or hundreds of slashes.
“The attack was successful. It’s powerful enough”
While [Lunar Eclipse] distorts space, [Solar Eclipse] is a magic sword that distorts time.
The giant’s arms had been slashed countless times, but the slashes had been dislocated from the past to the future. Raidorl ducked under the giants’ blows and launched a series of counterattack slashes.
The reason why Ruluve couldn’t recognize the attack was because Raidorl distorted time with the [eclipse] and sent the damage of the slash into the future. The damage that had been dislocated into the future struck Ruluve at once, across time, and it looked as if she had been hit by countless slashes in an instant.
“It is possible to dodge the slashes that I throw. But nothing can evade a blade that has flown across time and space. If you take that much damage all at once, you’re not going to regenerate quickly, are you?”
“What are you …… doinghgggggggggggg!!!!?”
“I told you…I’m not going to give you the answer. That’s it. The end for the knight of the plague, Ruluve.”
“Ah…?!”
Raidorl jumped up and cut off the giant’s head. With the loss of both arms and the ineffectiveness of the monstrous rays from her eyes, Ruluve had no means of resistance.
More than half of her neck is cut off with a single blow, and the giant with the hundred eyes falls.
“Mu….?”
There was a small thud.
It was Ruluve, lying in the middle of the plain, but the sound and impact were surprisingly small for a giant’s fall.
As she fell, she reverted from her giant form to that of a human woman. A beautiful woman, her arms missing and her head split open, lay on her back on a bed of grass.
“……Oh dear, I’ve lost. I’ve failed to do what the Queen ordered.”
With blood bubbling out of her mouth, Ruluve murmurs sadly.
There was something so sad about her appearance that even those who had just witnessed her transformation into a giant were tempted to feel pity.
“…… Do you have a will? I’d like to hear it.”
The beautiful woman looks up at the sky as if she is at a loss for words…….Raidorl finally asks if there was something in her eyes that made her think. Ruluve twists her lips and gives a small shake of her shoulder.
“Yea…..interesting things, but I’ll give you one piece of advice.”
“Advice?”
“I wonder if your people are also on the Northern Road …..where that Famine went?”
“…… Yes. My people are stopping you and buying you time. I trust my men. I’m sure they’ll pull through.”
“Oh, …..That’s a shame.”
Ruluve laughs, her chest rising and falling. Then she ….. stuck out her tongue in defeat.
“That fellow……is probably already dead.”
“What……are you talking about all of a sudden?”
“……I felt it just now. It’s like he’s showing his true colours. He’s much stronger than I am, and he’ll kill all your friends. I don’t think you’ll be able to save any of them.”
“……….”
Raidorl furrows his brow and looks down at the dying Ruluve.
The beautifull demon continues to laugh,…..and takes its time, disappearing from the edge of her body into the sand.
“I’m looking forward to meeting you in the underworld ……the hero chosen by the holy sword. How will you die…..?”
With that last word, Ruluve disappeared completely into the sand.
Under the witch Osman. The “plague” of the “Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse”: Ruluve returned to the earth as the sands of the plain.
