Chapter 286

286. Hope (4)

The iron-blooded lord continued to hiccup with his face dyed red.

“Hee-beep... Hee-beep...”

Could it be that what I said shocked her more than expected?

She had a strange smile on her face, even though she had a surprised, incomprehensible expression on her face.

Should I say it reminds me of the murmur of a squirrel holding an acorn in its mouth?

The iron-blooded lord’s mouth was oozing with laughter.

‘Uh...’

And seeing that, I turned my eyes around with my body stiffened like ice.

It was worth it.

I had never seen an enemy like this before, when the Sangvis lord lost so much of his dignified dignity.

But at best, to think that I would make her the emperor would make me lose my dignity and be

surprised.

‘Could I have made a big mistake...?’

But that doesn’t mean it’s not a reaction that’s terribly offended.

no.

If I had to ask, wouldn’t it be okay since he was smiling like a small animal?

In fact, the iron-blooded monarch was not in a bad emotional state.

I had no choice but to open my eyes wide as I noticed her feelings with the power of a godhead before I knew it.

He would be like that too...

‘This is...’

Because the emotions felt by the iron-blooded lord have become something close to faith.

‘Is it trust...?’

Her emotions, which changed in the blink of an eye, gave a feeling of trust.

However, this could not be called a feeling of trust.

It was darker than trust, but lighter than faith.

There were few things I knew for sure, but there were things I noticed.

It’s nothing else...

“Conditions fulfilled.”

“The iron-blooded lord’s feelings are favorable to the challenger Han Seong-yoon

.”

With this, at least the rewards of the special contract ordeal can be taken decently.

I immediately put a small smile on my lips.

It was worth it.

It was because he had gained the trust of the Iron Blood Lord that he had longed for throughout the ordeal.

Actually...

“That that that...”

The Iron Blood Lord’s tone, which had stopped hiccuping before he knew it, contained no anger.

I just feel confusion and trust that I can’t hide.

But that was only for a moment.

“Ugh...”

she mumbled, her reddened face lowered.

“Your heart... now I understand...”

How much can you trust me now?

Suddenly, she said she would know my heart, and soon even dyed her ears red.

I don’t know why, but at least it didn’t seem offended.

The iron-blooded lord wiggled his fingers and continued.

“I don’t know why you did this to me... but at least I knew that your heart wasn’t lying.”

“Is that so.”

“...so I won’t say anything weak anymore. If you really want to make me emperor, I will do my best.”

“If so, I’m glad.”

Satisfied.

To be honest, I thought it was embarrassing because

I was uncharacteristically moody.

“And I have something to say to you...”

“?”

“...that you don’t have to speak so dryly from now on.”

“Are you talking dry?”

“There is no need to call me by my title or by any other designation. that. Canary... I hope you call me by this name.”

“...”

I had to hesitate for a second to answer.

It was worth it.

Up until now, I could only count on one hand the number of times I’d called the Iron Blood Lord by name.

And every time I saw the iron-blooded lord in the tower, I didn’t even call him by his real name, so I wasn’t used to it.

But did he think that he was reluctant to answer because he was not familiar with it?

The iron-blooded lord shuddered and said as if denying something.

“That that that... so... yes! Aren’t you my close friend! That’s why it wouldn’t be right to call with such a distance!”

I didn’t mean to ask anyway, so why bother talking like an excuse?

[Then what should I do...! ]

“Not that simple.”

I replied with a smile at the black dragon’s confused question.

“Now we enter the divine realm and make a decision.”

[ .... ]

“Efficient, right?”

[ ...yes. ]

Originally, as the saying goes, simple is the best, no matter what

.

Only then will he be able to kill the apostle of the evil spirit over there.

Maybe in the middle of it, because of bad luck, it could lead to the battle with the final boss.

So there was no reason to avoid fighting any more.

Chak-.

“Let’s go for a little ride.”

At that, I immediately climbed on the back of the black dragon and looked towards the snowy field.

It was worth it.

Previously, it was possible to move using the black dragon’s space jump ability, but not now.

Currently, the sacred area of the black pillar at the end of the snowy field is greatly sacred.

So there was no way to allow space to jump there.

Perhaps divine powers prevent it from leaping through space.

‘It would be better to use a physical means of transportation.’

The black dragon also knew it, and let it ride on its back without resistance.

[ ...that’s right. It doesn’t feel very good, though. It’s not a place to cover things up. ]

And.

“canary. Get on.”

The moment he reached out to Canary while riding on the black dragon’s back.

“...It’s your choice. okay. There must be some things that cannot be solved outside.”

She smiled as if agreeing, then took her hand and climbed onto the black dragon’s back.

“If it is your will, I will go with you.”

As soon as Canary got on, the black dragon kicked the ground.

Shhhhh-!

In an instant, a gong sound occurred and the black dragon’s body accelerated.

very quickly too.

Still, like the apostle of the ancient god, the black dragon was able to reach the edge of the snowfield in a short time.

Before I knew it, I felt goose bumps as I saw an overwhelmingly large black pillar in front of me.

“...”

It was amazing.

The power of the evil spirits seen earlier in < The Field of Proof > was clearly echoing here.

That’s to a level that mortals can’t handle.

At this point, you will notice that it is not a normal Apostle Advent.

‘Is there such a thing as an upper level compatibility of Apostle Advent?’

Even the descent of the deities seen in the giant tree labyrinth is not so high.

Even when he used Advent in the Battle God Tower, he couldn’t create a sanctuary like this.

It was worth it.

Because descending to an apostle means temporarily transferring a portion of the power of the Godhead himself to the apostle.

There was no way that the apostles, who at most could not even be tower administrators, could handle the power of a godhead.

‘That’s why the apostle couldn’t handle it, so even if I used Advent, the power I could use was limited.’

But this time it’s different.

‘But the evil god even left the sacred realm in the middle of the snowy field.’

What this meant was not too complicated.

‘It means that at least the Advent Advent opponent I’m going to face from now on will be at least a quasi-god.’

Perhaps the apostle of evil spirits here is different from the ones I’ve seen so far.

Perhaps, it could have been higher than the dragons who had the qualifications to protect this world.

It should be at least a 3rd-class official apostle of an ancient deity.

Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to abuse the power of the godhead like this.

So...

“Isn’t it time to conserve energy?”

Can not help it.

「The divine authority ‘deification’ is activated.」

「It becomes possible to exercise the divine authority according to the potential divinity.」

「The potential divinity is < transcendence > < death > < immortality > < reversal > < observation > < discipline > < harmony > < It's the spirit of the spirit > < fighting spirit >」

[Now, let’s go seriously.]

It’s time to use the apotheosis that we’ve been saving until now.

Soon after, the moment when the apotheosis was activated.

The black dragon rushed straight into the black pillar of light.

In accordance with the activation of the apotheosis, the entry into the sacred realm was made.

Really...

「I have entered the sacred realm < The Devil's Ball >」

The best solo performance in a long time was prepared.
