Chapter 574: Blasphemous Claws (Part )
Desecration of the beast's claws!
"Roar——" Malicus roared and waved the black sword, as if setting off a hurricane of death fire.
I injected the power of Rune into the Claw of Blasphemy, and the Rune of Death contained within it also blazed up.
boom--
The moment the two forces collided, black and red flames bloomed like fireworks.
It felt like being hit directly in the face by a large truck. In an instant, the whole person was flung out and finally hit the pillar under the broken sky of the temple. Then he fell to the ground and stopped.
It felt like the skeleton was completely falling apart. Although I was more or less accustomed to the pain, the burning sensation as if fire was enveloping my entire body still made me almost faint.
All I can say is that fortunately the previous blow also made Malicus stagger, and Bernal seized the opportunity, launched an attack on the opponent, and forced Malicus back.
Otherwise, the big dog would jump over and scratch me with its claws, and my life would be in danger.
I struggled to drink the last drop of the Holy Grail dew and barely managed to catch my breath.
——Ah, I still can’t grasp the timing of using the Profane Claw.
In the game, I remember that there are only two moves that will trigger the deflection mechanism of the Desecrated Claw:
The first is the multiple slashes that Malikus will perform after he flies into the sky. After landing, he will follow up with a sprinting spinning slash, and the blade will glow with golden light;
The second time, just like before, after swinging around, when you raise the black sword and chop it to the ground, a golden light should also appear. If you don't block it, a burst of sword light and shadow will spread all around.
But it was too difficult to judge in reality. The black sword had been burning with the dark red flame of destined death, and I hardly saw any obvious moment of golden light shining.
Although there were moves similar to those in the game, and I tried a few rounds, each time it was almost the same as now, injuring 300 to 200 enemies and injuring 1,000 of my own. Every time, I could almost hear the sigh of death in my ear. If Bernard hadn't rescued me, I would have been killed by Maliks's sword.
Near the entrance of the temple, Roderica was emitting a faint green light. She was trying to find the lost soul of Malicus and talk to him.
But if we are unable to properly use the Profane Claw to weaken his power, I'm afraid we will be the losers.
——What should we do?
Jingle bell bell~
At this moment, the soul-summoning bell on the waist rang softly.
The crisp sound was like a pair of hands that cleared away the fog that shrouded my heart, allowing me to see the bright moon in the night sky.
"Oh, big sister!" I quickly rang the bell to summon "Black Knife" Di Xi.
Speaking of which, this Blasphemous Claw was originally given to Lakkad by Lani after she stole the Death Rune by all means. So, as one of the executors of that conspiracy overnight, Di Xi should know the real way to use the Blasphemous Claw!
"Lord Ling." Di Xi came here as ordered. She already knew why I summoned her, and said straight to the point, "The best time to release the Blasphemous Claw is when Malikus releases his Death Rune with all his strength and strikes... You actually felt it, the Blasphemous Claw will only release a large amount of fire at the beginning, and then it will quickly decay. That is to say, only at that moment, with the rapidly expanding death power, against the strongest death power, can we find a glimmer of hope for victory, otherwise we will be attacked by the claw."
······Eh, so, the one thousand miles and five hundred miles that I hurt myself just now were caused by my own failure to grasp the opportunity?!
"Malicus's most powerful attack?" I looked towards the dancing beast.
Obviously, Bernal alone could not withstand the opponent's attack. It can only be said that the World-Devouring Scepter was indeed powerful. Every time it released a combat skill, it could always force Malicus away. Coupled with Bernal's martial arts, he was able to barely hold on.
"I will open up the road to victory for you, Lord Ling. Please seize the opportunity yourself." After Di Xi said this, he turned into a swift shadow and rushed towards Malicus.
She waved her hand and a fatal blow fell on Malicus.
This startled him a little, and he quickly jumped onto the pillar.
“Woo-woo-[Death], [Death] will never allow me to do that!” Malicus panted heavily. Dixi’s appearance seemed to remind him of his mistake of stealing the Death Rune. He climbed up the pillar, and the pain in his head became even more unbearable. “Mother, mother, I… woo-woo-”
I hurried forward and saw Bernal still kneeling on the ground with great effort, gasping for breath, so I asked, "Are you okay?"
Bernal did not answer, but asked: "Have you found a solution? Zero."
“······Well, I guess so.” Looking at Malicus, I suddenly had an idea.
“Really?” Bernard supported himself and stood up. His eyes were bloodshot and ferocious under his helmet. “Then… I can leave this place to you.”
Meanwhile, Malicus roared angrily once again: "I...I will never let death escape from here again! Mother——"
He jumped twice on different stone pillars, then suddenly leaped up, raised the black sword high, and slashed at Di Xi.
"Di Xi! I will keep up with your speed!" I shouted, "If you don't have enough runes, just squeeze them from me. Release your [Death] to your heart's content!"
"...I will obey your command."

Once, when I was in the Royal City of Rodel, Black Blade, who was guarding the Queen's boudoir, helped Melina train, and I watched a lot from the side and also went up to ask for advice, so it was not a problem for me to keep up with Di Xi in speed.
Malicus roared and kept attacking Di Xi.
However, Di Xi changed his steps deftly, and under the opponent's surging attack, he was like a butterfly dancing in the wind, difficult to catch.
——After all, it is not an exaggeration to say that the Black Knife Assassin is the most agile guy on the border.
I looked for opportunities from the side, using Thunder God's Killing Spear, Flame Storm Slash... Although the long-range combat skills might not be very effective, they also made Malicus quite impatient.
He continued to roar, and his eyes became redder.
It was as if the ghost of the past had once again haunted the beast, but he could not cut it off.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh——" All of a sudden, Malicus let out his wildest roar yet.
The power of Death was released along with the fluctuations of sound, causing pain in the ears and making the brain feel as if it was about to burst.
Even Di Xi, who was summoned by the ashes, seemed to be affected by me. He couldn't help but shake his body and stopped.
The next second, a black shadow leaped up in the air.
Malicus danced in mid-air, launching one fatal blow after another at Di Xi. Just by looking at him, the aura of death was even stronger than before.
"Dixie!" I yelled. "Please!"
Di Xi understood what I meant. She stopped retreating and held the black knife in both hands, gathering her strength into the dagger.
A raging dark red flame burned on the black knife dagger, and she swung it at the arcs flying in the air with almost the same slashing force.
boom--
Boom boom boom——
Fireworks exploded in the air one after another.
But with Di Xi's power, she could not be compared with the "Black Sword" Malicus. Even if she barely offset the flames of destined death, the strong wind caused by the slash was like a flying blade, scraping Di Xi's body, making her covered with scars in an instant, and the wounds emitted a faint blue glow.
Di Xi was no longer able to resist the last blow. The flames of her doomed death burst out at her feet, and the impact knocked her away, causing her to fall heavily to the ground.
"Ow--"
Amid the smoke and black-red flames caused by the fierce battle, Malicus roared and swept away everything that was in his way with one sword. The black sword, burning with flames, slashed towards Di Xi who was unable to stand up.
——Sure enough, you are still feeling guilty about what happened that night, and you are thinking about making amends and atonement day and night, right, Malicus?
The flames of the black sword brought up the golden glow of Rune.
And at that moment, I flashed in front of Di Xi: "Well done, Di Xi!"
Desecration of the beast's claws!
