Chapter 417: End game (9)
...Rumble!
The clash between Vikir and Orca destroyed everything around them.
It was an equal end for everything, whether it was touched by human hands or not.
Mountains, hills, outer walls, watchtowers, embankments, bridges... everything collapsed.
And the solitary cells were among them.
Crash-
Every single one of the solitary cells collapsed.
Crash- Boom!
With each collapse of the solitary cells, mummified bodies with only bones left emerged.
...Only one person came out alive, Marquis Sade.
The only human who couldn’t be imprisoned even by the harsh environment of Level Nine.
There were even rumors that Nouvellebag existed solely to imprison Marquis Sade, highlighting his tremendous presence.
...Shiver!
Vikir took a step back, feeling a chilling sensation all over his body.
It felt like countless snakes were licking his entire body.
Even though their eyes didn’t meet, just looking at him gave this feeling.
‘...I should have realized as soon as I heard the name Angagoumang.’
As suspected before, the true identity of ‘Old Man Angagoumang’ was Marquis Sade.
A war maniac who incited 47 families to stage a coup in the past, a madman who wanted to return to a war era where only the strong survived.
He was free again.
“Hahaha- it’s been a while since I’ve moved my body.”
Marquis Sade moved his skinny arms around.
Every time his joints twisted, there was a dull noise like something breaking.
At that moment.
“...Grandfather.”
Professor Sadi, standing nearby, called Marquis Sade.
Her voice was slightly trembling, unlike her usual self.
Sade and Sadi. The two, who were grandfather and granddaughter, faced each other.
“Sadi? Oh my, you’ve grown so much. You’ve become quite the sorceress while I wasn’t around, huh?”
“Hahaha- I worked hard to rescue you, grandfather. You’re proud of me, right?”
“Of course. Come here and hug your grandpa.”
With that, Sadi, covered in blood, staggered and hugged Marquis Sade.
Marquis Sade also stroked Sadi’s head with a warm smile.
“Thank you for staying alive, dear.”
“I’m glad you’re safe, grandfather.”
“It looks like our family, which seemed to have ended, will have bright days ahead.”
“Oh? I’m not planning to meet any men, though?”
“I meant that I plan to meet a woman soon. You’ll have a new grandmother.”
Sadi and Marquis Sade laughed and chatted pleasantly.
The atmosphere was so relaxed and peaceful that it felt like they were at a quiet café terrace on a late morning.
But that peaceful atmosphere was quickly shattered.
“So, you’ve finally crawled out, Angagoumang.”
Orca growled in a voice like boiling molten metal.
Marquis Sade turned his head to meet Orca’s gaze with a bored expression.
“Long time no see, old orca. You live long for someone who never dies.”
“You have no right to speak.”
Orca immediately grabbed his club.
And with all his might, he swung it towards Marquis Sade.
“How cruel, to bully an old man without a weapon. Truly, how heartless.”
Marquis Sade chuckled and picked up a whip from the ground.
“Granddaughter, let me borrow this whip.”
And then...
Bang- Crack!
He swung it to meet Orca’s incoming club.
The heavy metal at the end of Orca’s club clashed with the weighted end of Marquis Sade’s whip.
Orca lifted his heavy club.
Marquis Sade took a stance, coiling his whip as if preparing for a sword draw technique.
Crack- Crack-crack-
As their fierce energies clashed, the surrounding air and ground shattered like glass.
Meanwhile, on the edge of this vortex of chaos, Aiyen asked Vikir,
“What should we do? Should we take this chance to escape?”
“...No. This might actually be the perfect timing.”
Vikir shook his head.
Perhaps they could benefit from the battle between these two.
‘Timing. We need to time it right.’
The confrontation between Orca and Marquis Sade was indeed terrifying.
Just by glaring and emitting their auras, they were distorting the terrain. What would happen when they truly unleashed their power?
...That outcome was starting to unfold in real-time.
Boom!
Orca kicked off the ground and surged forward.
Marquis Sade, laughing, also took a step forward.
Orca charged like an enraged orca whale, while Marquis Sade flew in like a wraith, both gripping their formidable power, aiming to decide the battle with a single blow.
...Flash!
Orca channeled all his aura into the tip of his club.
A dark, tsunami-like force surged towards Marquis Sade.
Rumble, rumble...
Marquis Sade coiled his whip tightly.
He unleashed the aura that had been restrained by the BDSM shackles, causing it to spin.
Swish, swish...
A sword-drawing technique. The explosive force and momentum of a single decisive strike were realized with the whip.
Just then.
“Now!”
Vikir leaped into the fray.
Crash! Boom!
Baskerville’s 8th Style. A black sun fell between Orca and Marquis Sade.
“...!?”
“...!?”
Both Orca and Marquis Sade were taken aback as their duel suddenly turned into a three-way battle, but they couldn’t retract their life-risking strikes.
Soon, the dark tsunami from Orca’s club, the slashing snake from Marquis Sade’s whip, and Vikir’s black sun converged on a single point.
And ahead of them all, someone moved swiftly.
“Honey! Catch!”
It was Aiyen.
She extended both hands with all her might towards the blue sphere, “Poseidon,” right in front of her!
Boom!
A violent explosion erupted at the roots, shaking the ground.
Crack!
Poseidon was uprooted. It detached from the ground like an onion with roots and rolled down the slope.
Heading straight towards the point where Orca, Marquis Sade, and Vikir’s strikes converged!
Simultaneously...
...Flash!
A blinding light and a tremendous roar burst forth.
Aiyen barely managed to cover her ears.
Vikir felt his eardrums rupture, blood flowing.
“Ugh!?”
“Argh!?”
Even D’ordume and Souare, who were watching, clutched their ears and collapsed from the deafening explosion.
At that moment...
...! ...! ...!
Poseidon, hit by three different shockwaves, began to change.
Crack-
The sound of a shell breaking.
...It was the sound of something hatching.
