Episode 261
[Ugh…!!]
Namgung’s sword struck the phase.
Each of his sword strikes carried so much weight that they could not be said to have been human, and each time he received one, his body shook.
“Isn’t it funny? “You can’t give the dead their final rest, but a man called God calls them out of the grave… Do you really have the right to call me cold-blooded?”
[…Shut up!!]
Sigh…!!
The severed arm of the statue sprouted in an instant.
Sang Sang pushed Namgung’s sword away and punched him.
Kwaang!!
Namgung blocked his fist with his sword.
“Do whatever you want. “Because you will realize that the hope of the living is stronger than the despair of the dead.”
[hope…? Do not be ridiculous!! Creating this world itself was my mistake. This is just a testing bench. A place that creates countless races and identifies better beings.]
“Why do you judge that? “This world is not yours.”
[Because I made it!! Extinction can also be done as I wish!!!]
Kwasik—!!!
Sang Sang’s fist hit Namgung.
The [Sword of All Evil] he was holding was unable to withstand the force and shattered into pieces.
[Be careful!!]
Yor shouted as he saw that.
Kwa-ga-ga-ga-ga-!!
The whirlpool emitted from the phase struck Namgung, and the wind like a sharp blade cut his whole body.
“You’re making your final struggle.”
Namgung threw down the sword, which had only the handle left, and grabbed the chain.
[…Kk?!]
At that moment, Sanghyang stretched out his other hand.
Then, one of the Eight Aspects who was watching them, Galan, the fire handler, grabbed his neck with both hands as if he was in pain.
His body, suffering as if he had been strangled, slowly rose into the air.
“stop!!!”
Lu jumped in to stop him, but
he was blown away!!!!
As if waiting, the aspect threw Galan’s body to Lu.
“…!!”
Lu hurriedly tried to withdraw his sword when Galan suddenly flew at him, but instead, Galan’s body was stuck in the sword as if he was chasing the sword.
[Ugh…!!]
Lu’s sword pierced Galan’s back and he let out a groan as if in pain.
“What is this…!!”
Before Lou could finish his perplexed words,
he said, “Aaaahhh”!!!
Galan’s limbs impaled by the sword were torn apart.
[…!!]
Galan’s flesh flew several meters and fell on the faces of Graciel, Mother of the Breeze, and Ilaina, Widow of Thorn Vine, who were standing around.
They were so shocked that they could only stare, speechless, with the fragments of the Aspect still on their faces.
[roo. You are definitely strong. [When we were one, the whole Aspect felt that it would split itself after creating you… maybe it was because it knew that it would become jealous of the creation it created.]
The Aspect found a small bead in Galan’s torn corpse . I picked it up.
Munch – Munch –
Sang Sang, who chewed and swallowed Galan’s soul as if he were eating an apple, looked at Namgung.
[Did you say Rin? This is the last hope left before our intact phase is divided between us. But are you really the hope that Sangha left behind for humans?]
Sangha glared at the chain and said.
[We are literally jealousy and desire itself. The Sane Aspect knew we would be born and imprisoned you. Was it truly for the sake of humans?]
“What do you want to say?”
Sang Sang smiled bitterly at Namgung.
[What strength did that hope really give you? Do you really think these chains can trap me?]
“You’ll have to try to find out. And I have no intention of locking you up. “I’m going to kill you.”
[Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk for such a grandiose talk but in the end lin is just a piece of the whole phase. Nothing more or less than that.]
Sang Sang told him.
[It is not the power that can destroy us. Rather, it is the final piece that will enable us to become perfect.]
Sang-sang pulled the chain that had bound him towards himself.
Cheeeeeek…!!
At that moment, the part of the chain touched by the phase’s hand turned red and began to melt little by little along with pure white smoke.
It was the power of Galan.
[I recognize Lu’s strength, but he’s not yours. Don’t act like you can change the world as if you’re just a revealer!!]
Grrrr…!!
Flames rose above the vortex that surrounded the body of the Aspect.
Red flames attacked Namgung.
Kwaaaang!!! Sёarᴄh the ηovёlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Lu blocked his path.
“Ran Wu…!! Are you planning on going as far as you can! “To eat the same status…!!”
[Same status? How can I be the same as those lowly things?]
The flame of the phase that consumed Galan’s soul roughly pushed Lu away.
Wood-duk—!!
The neck of Graciel, the mother of the breeze, was broken.
When Sang Sang stretched out his hand again, her head and body were cut in half without even a chance to scream.
[You made those, right? A god created by humans. You’re putting me on the same level as things that cost less than half a penny.]
“Stop it…!!”
Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut!!!
As Graciel’s soul was absorbed into the Aspect’s body, his body began to expand explosively.
[Try to use that humble power of saying hope. Because I will trample on that power myself!!]
Ahhhhhhh―――!!!
bang! bang! Kwakagagagagang…!!
It was then.
Pillars of sharp ice rained down on the Aspect, thick vines and dozens of black snakes bitten at him.
“Everyone get back! “You’ll just become his prey!”
Leah, the wanderer of the four seasons, cried out as she looked at Yor, the master of the seven serpents.
[That’s enough. Anyway, watching quietly was not suited to my temperament.]
[How could I remain silent after hearing that sound?]
Leah quickly chanted the magic.
Kugggggg…!!
Like gods of magic, huge meteorites appeared on the broken ceiling of the corridor.
[It’s okay if the corridor is a little damaged, right?]
[As much as you want.]
At Yor’s answer, she chuckled and dropped meteorites toward the statue.
bang! bang! Kwaaaaang――!!!
With a tremendous roar, the inside of the corridor was struck by a meteorite, turning it into a sea of fire.
But no one here had any expectations of what her status would be like with her magic.
It just bought me some time.
[Lu, it is true that you are strong, but you know that you cannot completely destroy him like this.]
At Leah’s words, Lu nodded with a firm face.
[It’s not because you’re weak, but because of the nature of your inherent strength.]
She lightly stroked Lu’s cheek.
[You are so kind. We shouted loudly about extinction and everything, but we know it well. That you can’t do that.]
“That’s why I have that friend. “He will do what I cannot do.”
[Namgoong We also know how strong he is. However, as Sang Sang said, Lin’s power is a double-edged sword. If you don’t handle it properly… on the contrary, it will only give you a chance to truly make your current status whole.]
“You just have to kill it before that happens.”
[How?]
Leah looked at Namgung.
[Who can finish this job: Lu, who is strong but cannot kill, or you, who has the will but cannot handle the power to kill?]
“What do you want to say?”
[You know there is someone else who can finish this job.]
Yor summoned his snakes and began pouring them into the area where Leia’s meteorite had landed.
Wow…! Wow…!! Kyaak…·!!!
The snakes let out a wild roar and rushed towards the statue.
[Bring someone who will make the real ending.]
“Don’t talk nonsense. When everyone died, I tenaciously survived alone and eventually came back. I started all of this. But I’m not the one to decide the ending?”
Yor smiled slightly at Namgung.
[okay. Because the person who can finish this is not you, but the person who allowed you to start again.]
Then, as always, I lightly tapped him on the shoulder.
[Go back to earth. I’ll be waiting.]
Kwaaaaang―――!!!
At that moment, Yor’s snakes burst into pieces with a loud noise.
[…I hope you come back as soon as possible. Before that guy eats me. I don’t want to get into someone’s stomach.]
Yor had always been playful and relaxed, but right now, his voice was trembling.
This was because the body of Wayna, the guide in the fog, was being dragged by the hands of Sang Sang.
[Same thing… Okay, everyone, come. I will kill you all!!!]
Sang Sang glared at them as he pulled out Wei Na’s soul from her body, chewed it up, and swallowed it.
As I ate the souls of the eight phases one by one, I could feel the power of the phase building up.
[Go.]
Yor pushed Namgung’s back.
“I’m serious? “No matter how much Lou is there… it’s something you have to risk your life for.”
[Kkkk, so you didn’t even risk your life to do this?]
Ironically, in the midst of the threat of death, Yor looked rather relaxed.
[Don’t worry.]
Yor passed Namgung and walked toward the statue.
[I will never die before I see the end of this awful festival.]
