Chapter 92: Spirit's Territory (4)

TL/Editor: Rungir

Schedule: 5/Week Wed-Sun

Join the discord! Here

Evil Beings.

Among the types of monsters, they're the ones closest to being anomalies.

The records stated that they wield a vast array of peculiar powers, making them the most troublesome kind to confront among monsters.

Zion somewhat agreed with this.

"Kahaha! I never expected someone to hunt us down instead!"

Perhaps confronting them might be troublesome, but their appearance was undeniably odd.

Emerging from the wall to strike Zion was none other than Raksitia, an elite Evil Being, wearing the robes that once belonged to the Lady of the Spirits.

Bones, sharpened and mutated like blades, protruded from all over her body.

"Who are you, and what do you want?"

As Zion asked, the bony blade touching his hand began vibrating at a frenzied speed, progressively breaking through the darkness covering his hand.

Then,

"Why would you need to know?"

Zion, with a smirk, did not pull his hand away but grasped Raksitia's bony blade even tighter.

From Zion's hand, black flames erupted, consuming the bony blade with its fierce heat.

Yet, the flames didn't stop there; they spread towards Raksitia's body.

"It makes sense, doesn't it? You'll die here anyway."

However, even as the flames approached her, Raksitia laughed.

She tore off every part of her body where the flames touched.

Almost simultaneously, Raksitia charged at Zion, swinging her massive bony blade-arm horizontally.

Swinging just an inch below his head.

As Zion slightly ducked and bent his knees,

The sharp aura from the bony blade that just missed Zion's head slashed across the entire corridor of the first floor.

The huge movement exposed a vulnerability in her stance.

Zion did not miss this chance and lunged at her.

"Kyaha! I've been waiting for you to make a move!"

Raksitia cheerfully shouted as she watched Zion.

Almost instantly, dozens of bone spears sprouted from her body, covering her vulnerabilities and aiming at Zion.

With threats closing in from all directions, there seemed to be no escape.

Yet, Zion didn't retreat.

"I feel the same way."

Instead, he accelerated even faster towards her.

Just as the bone spears were about to pierce Zion,

Darkness, like flames, surged around Zion, enveloping and burning him.

The bone spears that touched Zion's armor lost their momentum and shattered instantly.

"...!"

Raksitia's eyes widened in surprise at the sight.

The scene where all energy seemed to vanish was something she had never witnessed in her life.

Inside the fog of lost souls, Zion, with bright white eyes, was just about to reach out and strike at her head.

"Ah, I knew it the moment you recklessly charged in alone."

A new voice echoed from behind.

With it, dozens of hands sprouted from the ground, binding Zion from all sides.

"I told you, we should've observed for a bit before engaging."

Emerging from the shadows while murmuring those words was Geron, dressed in the garb of the heir to the lordship.

The irritation was clear on Geron’s face as he strengthened the binds.

The presence of the man with black hair meant that Kiral had met his end.

He had intended to observe a little longer, but due to Lakshita's premature assault, he had been forced to join the fray.

"Exactly, Geron! I knew you’d sync up perfectly!"

Lakshita grinned, quickly adjusting her stance, and aimed her blade straight at Zion’s head.

But just as she did, the binding hands around Zion cracked like a spiderweb,

and from within, a shadow burst out explosively.

The corridors vibrated with a deafening roar from the impact.

"Hahaha! Why is he so strong? It makes me want to kill him even more!"

Lakshita, uncharacteristically reveling in the thrill of battle, let out a maniacal laugh. She then pierced through the thick dust and charged at Zion once again.

It seemed like the same attack as before.

But there was one difference this time.

"Don't charge in blindly!"

This time, she had Geron's support.

His fighting style, inherently specialized in sorcery, poured out a series of hexes, hindering Zion.

Binding, illusions, sight obstruction, lethargy, and more.

In a blink, Geron unleashed a barrage of debilitating spells on Zion.

The moment these spells took effect on Zion, Lakshita's strike landed perfectly, as if they had timed it.

A flawless, precise blow.

"Huh?"

Then something floating above the altar caught Elysis's eye.

"What is this?"

Even while looking at it, she could not identify what it was.

It was something like a fog, sometimes looking like a liquid, endlessly wavering, forming and dispersing.

The sacred energy that could be felt from it was immeasurable.

The light that illuminated the entire cave was also emanating from this object.

"What on earth is this...."

It was when Elysis was captivated and approached it.

-Bleed.

A quiet voice echoing in the cave from the bottom up.

The entire atmosphere of the cave changed completely at that moment.

The atmosphere, which had been soft and warm, became chilly and ominous.

Along with this, Elysis's body hardened against her will.

"I can't move...!"

She couldn't turn her head or move her fingers.

Her eyes were filled with confusion and fear.

Then, a figure approached her, entering her sight.

'The lord?'

No, that was not the lord.

It was impossible for a lord who ruled over a small rural territory to emit such a massive charisma.

Monster.

It was a monster wearing the skin of the lord.

-And you are a sacrifice to obtain that blood.

The monster that had slowly approached her during that time spoke slowly.

The suffocating, chilling energy felt from it.

Just looking at it made goosebumps rise all over her body and made her tremble.

"Oh, the eternal God of Light, please...."

The words seeking the gods flowed out of Elysis's mouth for the first time as her fear reached its peak in the face of that dense charisma.

-There is no god you serve here.

But the monster looked into her eyes, cutting off her words indifferently.

The red light shining in the eyes of such a monster.

The moment she saw that light, Elysis felt her consciousness fading.

-Give your body to me.

It was an order.

-Read the prayer under the altar with all your soul.

An order to her psyche.

-When you offer your blood lastly, it will be complete.

With that, Elysis's eyes turned dull.

Step by step.

With that, she slowly approached the altar and began to recite the prayer in a monotone voice.

'Ah, no!'

But her consciousness was still alive.

She just couldn't move her body at will.

She didn't know what would happen when she recited this prayer.

But instinctively, she knew that the object on the altar should not go into the hands of that monster.

'I must stop!'

She desperately tried to somehow close her mouth, but it was in vain.

Whaaaaak!

The altar began to emit light gradually as the prayer progressed.

-It's working.

At this, the eyes of the monster Kesarus were filled with surprise and joy.

'Please someone....'

It was the moment when Elysis, who had finally recited all the prayers, was about to slash her wrist with a dagger.

"You should not covet what belongs to others."

The quiet voice ringing in both her and Kesarus's ears.

-...!

The moment Kesarus hastily turned his head towards where the voice was coming from, as he didn't sense any signs of it at all,

The darkness, bursting up from the ground with a brilliant white light,

Slammed Kesarus's entire body down onto the ground.
