King of Madness (1)
A black figure of ordinary build and a white giant the size of a 15-story building.
Even the expression David and Goliath was insufficient.
In the first place, the difference in standards was such that the fight itself could not take place, so much so that anyone could not help but predict the giant’s superiority... but
if you actually see those two in this field, that opinion will naturally change.
Goooooh—
that’s right.
The black energy emanating from that small figure pushes away the giant’s force and covers the world.
Because I couldn’t help but think of that thought naturally.
That is overwhelming violence that the living cannot resist.
It is the death of the world itself.
‘Ah, this feels the best.’
The center of black energy spreading out in all directions.
Hans, who was sitting quietly in the middle of it all, raised his head, feeling satisfied with his power more than ever.
In fact, he had rarely fought satisfactorily since becoming a full-fledged immortal king.
At least the conflict with Beoncheonhoeju in Japan could be seen as a fight to the best of one’s ability, but at that time it was not an opportunity to exert one’s best efforts due to various restrictions.
Besides, most of the battle in Outerica was part of the scenario, and even when he was completely out of his mind, wasn’t there at least some reason left in him that he couldn’t kill Heinrich?
In fact, it was safe to say that Outerica never gave its all.
‘But it’s different now.’
The border between earth and the abyss.
A realm of chaos where everything is twisted and mixed up.
The revolutionary said that the power of his authority is maximized in this space.
It was the same for Hans.
Crunch-dud-
The violent momentum rushes forward without hesitation.
In the aftermath, the surrounding space was distorted and death mixed with the abyss thrust its teeth in all directions.
It mercilessly bit into the place where the giant was.
“Pukkkkkk! Ah—yes, this is how you become an immortal king! A being destined for the end of the world must possess the arrogance commensurate with its power!”
However, even in the face of this overwhelming display of power, the giant did not faint in the slightest.
He gave off a dark red energy and shook off death with a twisted smile.
And then he took a step back and crouched down.
He immediately disappeared from the spot.
Kwaaaaaaaa!
Immediately after that, the space was distorted by the impact that occurred right in front of Hans.
Two different energies thrust sharp claws at each other.
[Hoo? That’s pretty good.]
“Keuheuu, it’s just the beginning!”
Quad deuk—!
The giant’s claws suddenly dug into the barrier surrounding Hans.
The dark red madness gathered at the five tips tore apart the black death, and at the same time, the other hand swung again.
Coooooo!
An explosion of alcohol that spreads out with a powerful shock wave.
With that single attack, the surrounding flow became entangled and a radius of hundreds of meters was turned upside down at once.
and.
Hans, who had been watching the scene from a long distance away, nodded.
I thought it was worth the price.
[Phew—Okay, this will be fun.]
But there was no particular sense of crisis.
I just think this is natural if you come from the same abyss.
If anything, I would have been more disappointed if he had performed poorly.
‘Of course...’
As you said, you must keep what you said, showing the difference in class.
Hans slowly spread his arms to the left and right, feeling his energy encroaching on all sides.
His heart, his origin, resonated with the abyss at the bottom of this world, leading to a reaction beyond usual.
As a result.
-Kiyaaa —!
-Quaaaah!
-Crumbling— Crumbling—
With a strange, haunting sound.
All the ‘deaths’ within the area where the energy spread began to react and occur at once.
Verb (凍死), participle (焚死), drowning (溺死), blast death (暴死), history (轢死), stampede (壓死), illness (病死), starvation (餓死), etc.
All forms of death that exist in the world came out of space and appeared in the world, forming shapes.
Not an undead, a ghost, or a devil, but something abstract.
In the flood of the concept of death that has become reality.
[Then now—let’s decide together.]
The Immortal King, the king who rules over them, declared.
despite his appearance of maintaining composure, Hans’ thoughts were also complicated.
There was someone who was struck by the word ‘smell’ mentioned by a revolutionary.
‘Diana.’
A girl who had such a mysterious sense of smell that she could smell the scent of souls.
The ability was good, and I was curious about the origin of that ability, so I kept watching it...
‘Was it an ability related to revolutionaries? No, more accurately, it must be related to the imprisoned god.’
Although we are now stuck in the abyss, God is God.
There was no need to say how great that ability was.
‘Then I guess that’s the power I mentioned earlier. Does that guy have any senses other than smell? Then...’
The fight slowly reached its end.
Hans calmly organized the newly acquired information in his head as he pushed the giant to finish.
The moment I was optimistic that the situation would end soon.
《XXX is looking at you.》
An unexpected incident occurred that no one could have predicted.
Heart pounding –
As soon as the notification window appeared, a strong heartbeat echoed in the space.
It was only a one-time event, but it alone was destructive enough to distort the entire flow of the world.
Naturally, the death that was occupying all directions dispersed, and the magic circles that were being prepared also shattered.
[Huh? What is this...!]
It was an abnormal phenomenon, like a natural disaster.
Hans worked hard to gather his energy and hurriedly kept the giant in check to prevent him from doing anything foolish, but... Heart
pounding –
all the coordinates and phases around him were thrown into disarray by the continuous beating that made all his efforts worthless.
A strong wave that surrounds the abyss and seems as if it will sweep away even though the body is fixed in place.
Hans was able to naturally realize its source.
A place far below this world.
Among them, it was the heartbeat of someone sleeping deep underground in the abyss.
‘crazy...! Is it really possible to intervene like this?’
Even though this place is a border closer to the abyss than the ground, I never thought that a being who had been imprisoned for so many years could exert such influence!
It didn’t even end there.
Hans gritted his teeth as he felt his body slowly being dragged to the floor.
When he was barely holding on and struggling to find a way to overcome the situation.
“Alas—my Lord! Your will will be done!”
The revolutionary, who put his hands together and prayed as if he was filled with emotion, turned and headed somewhere.
[Where!]
Hans, trying to ignore the gravity on the floor, fired a sharply sharpened weapon of death at the guy again.
‘Rotten! What a crappy case this is!’
In the constantly twisting space, his attacks only passed by like illusions.
It was an added bonus that my body went down a notch due to overexertion.
“Puhuh—immortal king. You are a wanderer from a dimension who has flown in with no way to go. “You heretics who received His grace but went against His will.”
At that moment, Hans was hurriedly fixating his body and concentrating on escaping from that force.
The giant, who had already completed all preparations, turned his battered body to look at him.
“His will is with me. I guess you weren’t my death. “Squeak!”
After saying those words, the guy who twisted his face and let out a laugh that made phlegm boil, soon disappeared into a crack that squeezed through the flow of the world.
It was obvious where the guy was headed.
[Ugh, how dare this arrogant bastard...!]
Hans, who was hurriedly concentrating his mind to follow up, felt his body continue to be dragged and looked down nervously.
‘Damn it, I still have a lot to do, so bother!’
Even if I continue to stay here, my mental power will only be wasted in vain.
I didn’t have time to grab anything for no reason now that I was so busy moving around.
‘I’ll see you later too.’
Hans’ body was slowly sinking downward, as if being sucked into a swamp.
At some point, it disappeared as if it had been washed away.
***
Near the Iron Citadel, adjacent to the northern mountains on the northern border of the Tulk Kingdom.
Suddenly—
something unusual was happening there.
“uh? What is that?”
“Wait... is that really possible?”
“emergency! Emergency! Report to your superiors quickly!”
Although it was quite far from the fortress, a crack so large that the soldiers on top of the fortress wall could see it at a glance.
No, the problem did not simply end with cracks forming.
Jjojjajajajaja—!
The cracks are torn apart with a violent noise, as if the fabric is being torn from side to side.
Coo!
A huge giant with a pure white body emerged from within.
“Khehehe— Ah, I found it!”
The King of Madness took his first steps on earth.
