Chapter 103: Bone, Flesh and Blood (6)

Chapter 103: Bone, Flesh and Blood (6)

In the darkness, Evan’s gaze met his blood relative in front of him.

Hus, whose pupils were shining brightly, looked like a hero from a legend.

His eyes, filled with light, seemed to have regained his sight, and he looked at Evan clearly.

It was another chance for Hus to get back the eye he had lost as a child.

A miracle.

That was the only way to describe the scene.

It was ironic.

He had followed the goddess all his life, but he was abandoned, while Hus, who had parted ways with him, received a once-in-a-lifetime miracle.

Evan’s voice, soaked with emotion, flowed from his lips as he faced the light in Hus’s eyes.

“So this is how it ends.”

It was useless to deny that he was jealous of the blood chosen by the goddess.

He had stopped envying those who were loved by the goddess.

Now he had to accept the sight before his eyes as it was.

The six goddesses did not choose him.

They chose the weak and pitiful souls standing here.

They would be called heroes, and they would burn themselves for the god until they died.

That was the way of the hero.

All Evan could do was watch them go to their doom.

“...Hus Allemier. This is all your choice... If this is also your fate, you have to accept it.”

Hus, who heard Evan’s voice, raised his magic power.

Crackle.

The blue magic that wrapped around Hus’s body slowly changed into a shape of lightning.

He was preparing a magic of the lightning system.

Evan understood why Hus wanted to use lightning magic.

Evan wielded the power of lightning.

Hus also wanted to use lightning magic to fight against Evan.

He wanted to knock down Evan with lightning from the front.

That was Hus’s plan.

“...Astraphe.”

Evan, who understood Hus’s thoughts, raised his hand.

Crack. Crack.

Red lightning sprang from Evan’s fingertips.

The light that flowed through the gauntlet became a sharp spear, and Evan held the lightning spear and looked at Hus.

The gauntlet that held the lightning spear kept vibrating violently.

The power of lightning had become stronger than before, and Evan’s hand could not fully withstand it.

If he did not shoot the spear as soon as possible, Evan’s hand would have to pay a price that matched it.

Evan aimed the spear he was holding at the barrier where the heroes were gathered.

“——Lightning Spear.”

Hus, who had gathered both hands in one place, also held a bolt of lightning between his palms.

The bolt of lightning that shook in his palm changed into a shape of a long spear.

Hus aimed the tip of the spear he had made at Evan.

Black lightning and blue lightning.

The lightning spears with killing intent aimed at each other.

Good and evil. Light and darkness. And power and magic.

All of that was about to collide in one place.

“Is that your magic?”

“Evan Allemier. You will pay for betraying God’s will and falling into corruption.”

The one who shot the lightning spear first was Hus’s side.

Kwaaaaang!Thê source of this content n/o/v/(el)bi((n))

The blue beam of light that was shot with a shock wave tore through the air and flew out.

The great magic created by the hero was aiming at Evan.

Evan, who saw Hus’s magic flying towards him, also threw the spear he was aiming at with all his strength.

The black lightning that was amplified by magic dyed the sky and moved forward.

The black trail that spread like an afterimage collided with the blue lightning that flew ahead in midair.

“...!”

And then, a huge explosion occurred in midair.

And the arrow kept changing its direction according to Evan’s movement.

It was an arrow that chased its target until it hit it.

It was meaningless to dodge such an attack.

He frowned and raised his gauntlet.

If he couldn’t avoid it, he had to block it.

“——Astraphe.”

Kwang!

The arrow that was hit by the lightning that fell from the sky exploded in midair.

Evan, who had destroyed the arrow with lightning, looked at Sion on the ground.

He guessed that Evan would block the arrow, and Sion aimed his next arrow at him.

Oren also waited for Evan to come within his range.

It was always a headache to face many opponents alone.

Especially if they were heroes.

But Evan’s role was to buy time until Uto arrived after retrieving Cuebaerg.

He had already achieved his goal, and there was no reason to stay here any longer.

-“Can you hear me?”

As he prepared to bomb the heroes with Astraphe, Evan heard a familiar female voice in his ear when he raised his magic power.

Eutenia Hyrost. The first apostle of the master he served was calling him.

She seemed to be trying to communicate with him using some kind of magic.

He opened his mouth and looked up at the sky as he heard Eutenia’s voice coming towards him.

“Eutenia. I’m listening.”

-“If you keep fighting recklessly, Cuebaerg might get hurt.”

“That’s true.”

Cuebaerg, who had shrunk into a small body, was trembling in Evan’s hand.

He looked nothing like the lord of the abyss that he used to be called.

Cuebaerg might get injured or die if he kept fighting.

And Eutenia’s contact meant that Uto, who was carrying her, was not far from here.

Evan’s mission was to arrive at the scene first, retrieve Cuebaerg, and buy time for Uto to come.

He had already achieved his purpose, and there was no reason to stay here any longer.

-“We’re almost there, so you can get ready to come back.”

“What about the pursuers?”

-“He will release a suitable opponent for them.”

“Then I don’t have to worry. I’ll be right back.”

Evan finished talking with Eutenia and looked at Hus on the ground.

Hus, who had bounced back after being hit by Evan’s attack, quickly recovered and returned to the front line.

It was very regrettable for Evan to leave Hus alone like this.

But he couldn’t settle things with Hus without any plan with so many heroes in between them.

Unfortunately, he had to postpone the confrontation with his blood relative.

As Evan prepared to retreat, Hus glared at him.

Hus, who was bleeding and glaring at Evan, spoke to him with a voice full of hatred.

“Where are you running away? We still have things to talk about.”

Hus sensed that Evan was going to flee and started preparing another magic.

Evan shook his head with a blank face as he saw Hus preparing his magic.

He regretted it too, but now was not the time.

He couldn’t risk Cuebaerg’s life for his petty feelings.

He lowered his head and said goodbye to Hus.

“It’s not time yet. Maybe someday we’ll have a chance to settle this.”

“Shut up with your nonsense! Do you think we’ll let you go easily?”

“I hope you’ll grow more than now when I see you next time.”

As soon as Evan finished speaking, a huge shadow rose from the ground.

The dark beast Alpha.

The shadow beast that Eutenia controlled came to take Evan away.

Evan looked at his brother beyond the rising shadow.

Unlike before, there was a monster above Hus’s head, wrapped in flames.

It was undoubtedly the ‘suitable opponent’ that his master had released as a bait to save Cuebaerg.

He smiled bitterly as he faced his brother for the first time in a long time and muttered to himself.

“Goodbye, Hus.”
