Against this holy magic, there really wasn't anything that the bloody figure could do.
After a certain point, he even started begging for his life.
"We're both demon kings, there's no need for you to do this. If you spare me, I'll give you my power, I swear! I'll even serve you if you let me go!"
In a way, this didn't seem like the demon king that had once caused a slaughter all through the demon race. This seemed like a pathetic demon that was now begging for his life because he was in danger.
But I understood why he did this.
He was a fragment soul, so it wasn't as if he would last long like this.
If he didn't find a body, it was only a matter of time before he disappeared for good.
Death was a terrifying thing.
At the same time, these were the exact same lines from the game.
From everything that I had encountered, it seemed that there were many things that drew from the game.
It really made me wonder if this was a world that was based on the game or if this was the world of the game. And if this was the world of the game, what did it mean that there had been a game about this world in my past life?
Well, that didn't matter right now.
"No. You should know how it is for demons, do you really think that I would trust you?" I said with a teasing smile on my face.
The bloody figure quickly said, "No, you can trust me, I promise. I'll even give you my soul essence as long as you spare me."
But I just looked at him with a smile on my face.
This smile showed that I clearly didn't trust him.
"No, no, it can't end like this! How could my life end like this! I am the great demon king!" The bloody figure shouted while waving his hand as if he was trying all that he could to stop this from happening.
But there really wasn't a thing that he could do.
This bloody figure was nothing more than a remaining fragment of Demon King Balcor's soul.
Even if Demon King Balcor had once been the demon king, he didn't have the same power. With just a fragment of his soul, what he could demonstrate was only a fragment of the power that he once possessed.
That was also with the help of this trial as well.
If it wasn't for this place that he prepared, then he really wouldn't have been able to do anything.
However, what he didn't know was that I had weakened it.
This trial location was built up with different spells, but they combined into something that gave Demon King Balcor power. However, the fact that it was made of different spells made that this was a weakness.
It meant that there were different cores that these spells were connected to.
Normally, these spells would be used to run the different trials.
That was why the cores were in these trials.
The first trial, the spell that was there drew power from the bloody corpses to provide Demon King Balcor with energy.
Once I destroyed that arena and sent the bloody corpses into the abyss, it moved out of the range of the spell and it could no longer draw on the power of those bloody corpses.
The second spell relied on the suffering of those demons.
But I freed them from their suffering with what I did and removed their blood essence, which was why it was drastically weakened.
The third spell drew on the power of the Hell Hound.
However, I took the Hell Hound with me, so that completely ruined the spell.
Everything had been done on purpose.
And that was part of the reason why Demon King Balcor couldn't wait any longer.
If he waited longer, he would become weaker and weaker after all.
But this was still enough for me to take him down with my holy magic.
"Just accept your death." I said in a calm voice.
The bloody figure seemed to react when he heard this before saying, "Let me tell you my story! I promise that you'll change your mind if you hear my story!"
I just raised my hand and pointed it at the bloody figure while releasing the same holy magic, but I didn't raise the power of it to finish him off.
Seeing this, the bloody figure said, "I was the seventh born of…NO!"
He didn't get further than this as I suddenly increased the power of the holy magic.
Demon King Balcor had relaxed his guard a bit since he thought he would have a chance. So when he was hit head on by this increased holy magic, he really couldn't resist at all and was instantly purified.
In the end, there was only regret that was on his mind.
If he had chosen to work with this new demon king from the beginning and been truthful…then would there have been a chance?
"No, that's not how we demons do it." That was the last thought in Demon King Balcor's mind.
After Demon King Balcor had been purified, the bloody figure disappeared without a trace.
The only thing that was left behind was something that dropped onto the ground.
A smile appeared on my face the moment that I saw this before I walked over to pick it up.
This was the item that I had come all this way for.
This was the item that would help me become much stronger than I currently was.
Picking it up, I looked it over before bringing it to my wrist and snapping it on.
I didn't even need to appraise it to know what it was since I had already obtained it many times in the game.
This item was the Sanguine Bracelet, it was a guaranteed drop from Demon King Balcor.
That was why there was no chance that I would have spared him.
