Overgeared

Black Knight Eligos wasn't obsessed with his ranking.

A symbol—he wanted to be a symbol of hell. So he stayed at Dog's Mouth, the 20th Hell, for thousands of years. Along with Cerberus, who left footprints in mythology, he guarded the river of reincarnation and carved his own appearance on the souls of the dead. He left his name on the cries of souls who craved a life they would never regain again.

Look.

Listen.

I am hell.

"...Um."

The great human and demon war was an insignificant festival for Eligos. However, he realized that from a human standpoint, it was a disaster that had to be desperately prevented. He stood in the way of the Demon Slayer's party and foreshadowed their despair.

Eligos planned to leisurely enjoy the scene. Then an unexpected situation developed. There wasn't any fear and despair on the faces of the humans. It only passed by for a moment before disappearing. Eligos took it as a humiliation.

"You... aren't afraid of me?"

Looking down on him was like looking down on hell.

"You are arrogant people."

Under the dark helmet, a red light flashed in Eligos' eyes. There was a thunder-like sound and there was a long light. It was blood. The red light wasn't in response to his anger, but was an optical illusion caused by blood spurting up to cover his vision.

"......?"

He was cut?

Eligos belatedly perceived Faker behind him. "Lantier."

Cerberus, who was carrying Eligos, was several dozen meters high. The opponents who fought Eligos inevitably had to climb it. Topographically, this meant Eligos always had the advantage. He was in a position to gain insight into, intercept, and abuse his opponent from a high place.

It was the first time he had allowed an approach. The shadow technique was the tricky part. The advantage of terrain was broken by using the movement of the shadows as a path. It was invisible and hard to predict, so Cerberus didn't have a chance to intercept.

'He is right behind me, but his presence is still hazy. It isn't an ordinary Lantier. It is a legend.'

How long had it been since he was injured? Under the helmet, Eligos' expression twisted. He was ashamed that he had lost his dignity in front of such insignificant human beings. However, that was it. He didn't feel any crisis.

Eligos reached back without turning around. The hand stretched over his shoulder turned into an awl and stabbed at Faker's heart. This series of processes was very fast. Faker moved away without incident. Among the various choices that appeared in his mind at the same time, he identified and chose the best choice. In the process, his body was already moving. It was the domain of a genius and there were many geniuses here.

"......!"

Eligos' chest was split in half. Without recovering the hand bound in shadow, Faker grabbed the dagger with the other hand and reverse stabbed while a sword rose from the bottom. It was a devastating blow that broke through Cerberus' stomach.

[Sword Saint Kraugel's powerful sword energy has cut through hell.]

Kiyaaaaaah!Cerberus roared and twisted its three heads. Flames emerged from the mouth and quickly covered the area.

Eligos was silent. He couldn't speak for a moment. It was due to the arrow that pierced his vocal cords and shut his mouth. The arrows, that couldn't be seen with the eye, flew and struck at the exact moment they were shot. Thus, he couldn't read the signs.

'The Breaking Evil Arrows...'

Eligos became alert for the first time. He pulled out the arrows embedded in his neck and mouth, and focused on the chaotic demonic energy.
