Magic Chronicles : Fallen Race

1/4

Reji carefully studied the Oath of Enmity again, and a bold idea suddenly arose in his head

To maximize the effect of Oath of Enmity, he had to find someone with the highest Sin Value possible, and it was best if this person could always be by his side, so he could use it whenever he wanted.

There was indeed someone who could satisfy both conditions at the same time.

Wasn't that himself?

Reji immediately tried. He closed his eyes, gripped the Oath Sword in his hand, and activated the guidance of Oath of Enmity. The surrounding scene was instantly shrouded in black fog, followed by flashing red dots.

Those red dots came from the other demons and monsters around him. The size of the dots varied according to the sin value of the target.

The monsters generally only emitted a faint red, while the few demon apostles had red condensed into orbs of light, with the Great Demon Hektor's orb being the deepest in color, becoming a brownish red.

Obviously, Oath of Enmity was letting him select a target from these, but Reji only swept his mind over without any action. He continued to concentrate his mental power, this time not on others around him, but entirely on himself.

The Oath of Enmity guided by the holy sword clearly paused, as if a bit dazed.

But under Reji's mental control, the skill still forcibly included Reji himself as a selectable target.

And it didn't matter if he was included or not. Once Reji also became a target, those red dots and red orbs of light from other monsters or demons detected by the holy sword earlier instantly paled in comparison.

A sky-piercing beam of light shot up from the ground, its scarlet color even dyeing the entire black fog world red, condensing into a blood moon in the sky that seemed to envelop the earth.

That was Reji himself.

Afterwards, Reji did not hesitate to continue focusing all his attention on his own scarlet light pillar, that blood moon in the sky.

And the oaths on the holy sword were also very supportive, not saying that they feared that terrifying sin value at all. Instead, it was as if stimulated, determined to eradicate such "sin" and seal the blood moon in the sky.

In the eyes of the demon apostles waiting outside, it was the Demon King closing his eyes, as if battling with the will inside the holy sword.

Immediately after, they saw endless oaths suddenly gushing out from the holy sword. These oaths flashed with dazzling radiance, then actually all began to frantically revolve around the Demon King, as if desperately marking the Demon King's overwhelming sins.

Afterwards, these oaths returned to the holy sword. The moment they returned, the holy sword rose with a divine radiance that was even more brilliant and towering than when the Seventh Prince was holding it earlier.

This exuberant holy light, as bright as day, made the demon apostles' skin ache faintly just from being illuminated by it. If they forcibly looked at it, there would be an intense burning sensation. They had no choice but to retreat slightly and force themselves to look away.

Of course, the anomaly of the holy sword did not last long. The radiance quickly dissipated. But the next scene actually shocked and surprised the demon apostles even more.

Because they saw that the previous radiance had not actually dissipated, but...

enveloped their Demon King!?

Now Reji's body was covered by a layer of holy light. That crystal clear radiance contained incomparably rich divine power, making Reji seem hazy, like a sage.

Heh...

Reji's mood was also quite complicated now.

The good news was that Oath of Enmity had succeeded. He could really use himself as the target, and looking at the bonus on the attribute panel now, it had directly maxed out the 500% effect.

The bad news was that Reji didn't expect this thing to have such a big impact on his appearance after maxing out the effect, it directly bathed him in holy light, like a child of light, especially in front of his subordinate demon apostles.

Just when Reji was still a bit troubled about how to explain the situation to the apostles...

It didn't matter.

Leo would take care of it.

Among the apostles who were shocked, puzzled, surprised, and even suspected that the Demon King might have been possessed and controlled by the holy sword and wanted to attack and destroy the holy sword to save the Demon King, the Wisdom Demon was the quickest to come back to his senses.

When Leo was selected by the holy sword as a potential target for Oath of Enmity earlier, he had a premonition in his heart. In fact, all the apostles more or less felt a palpitation when scanned by the holy sword.

So Leo quickly made a guess and judgment. This should be some ability of the holy sword. After all, it was a holy sword from the human side, how could it submit to the demon race? It must want to use them as attack targets and assault them.

And the reason why the feeling of being targeted by the holy sword on them disappeared later was because the Demon King forcibly pulled the holy sword back, making it not hostile to them. The Demon King even sacrificed himself to protect them, stepping forward and letting the holy sword select the Demon King himself as the target.

So Leo absolutely did not believe that the Demon King, who had such will, would be possessed and controlled by the holy sword.

But now, the holy light all over Reji's body was real, so how to explain it?

With Leo's wisdom, he immediately thought of another possibility.

The Oath Sword, this holy sword, was different from other holy swords. It was the most impartial one, which even he as a demon was clear about.
