The Second Son of The Marquis Runs Away from Home ~ Lacking Talent, He Abandons Everything and Becomes an Adventurer ~ - 111

Chapter 111: The Palm

It all began from that moment.

My clan’s village was burned down, and while I suffered a fatal wound, I barely managed to escape with my life. When I reached the land where my clan had sealed the path to the Underworld for generations, filled with hatred and despair toward humans consumed by greed, I reached for the seal.

“Fine. If you desire it so much, I’ll give it to you. I will offer you an unavoidable death, to all living beings who are driven by desire, who steal meaninglessly, fight, and slaughter endlessly.”

The Gate to the Underworld opened. The cold air from the Underworld began to flow into my body.

“Haha…hahahahaha…hahahahahahahaha!!”

The power of the Underworld filling my body commanded me. It ordered that all living beings in this world be sent to the Underworld…

(Berg’s Side)

“Impossible… the Gate to the Underworld is sealed…?”

Mudo muttered, pressing his hand against his stomach where he had been struck. From the feel of it, it was clear that he had used multiple spells on himself in advance.

It was thanks to those that the blow only left him groaning, but he seemed unable to stand properly, his legs faltering as he writhed in shock.

“It seems Aria and the others managed it.”

“Impossible!? How many did you think I deployed to guard the Gate!? I placed carefully selected undead as its protectors!”

“You think Aria and the others would be delayed by something that weak?”

Berg raised the High End, and a bright white light emanated from it. As the light grew stronger, the power within the sword also intensified.

“What are you…?”

“It’s obvious. I’m going to end this.”

“Ugh… What!?”

Mudo released various spells like ghost flames and lightning from his staff, but they were cut down by Berg’s Chaos Crusader. The light from High End grew so bright that it illuminated the entire room.

“Damn it!?”

A magic circle appeared beneath Mudo’s feet. Realizing he had been setting up a teleportation spell while trying to hold Berg off, Mudo began the teleportation process.

However, a massive arm reached out from the side and grabbed Mudo, lifting him off the ground and pulling him away from the teleportation circle.

“!!?”

Both Mudo and Berg were stunned, their expressions filled with shock. The demon god’s remaining arm held Mudo tightly in midair.

“You…!”

Mudo’s gaze was fixed on the man trapped within the ribs of the demon god—Youzan, who, despite coughing up bl00d, stared back at Mudo with eyes burning like flames.

“You… You will not escape!!”

Youzan’s gaze locked onto Berg. Sensing the meaning behind his eyes, Berg raised High End and focused on Mudo and the demon god.

“‘Sky Splitting Dragon Claw Lindblum’”

A white slash was unleashed from High End, and the destructive light consumed everything in its path, swallowing up the targets in an instant…

“…Is this the end?”
