Chapter 194: Power

< Chapter 194: Power (2) >

Turn back time a bit.

The moment when the mark of the true spear was fully opened and pierced Asmodeus.

Heavenly God!

I know!

It was a signal.

A signal to announce the end of this operation.

The Dragon Lord began to act immediately.

Spatial Freeze

Magical Freeze

Oxygen Freeze

Gravity Intensification

As if trying to pour out all the remaining magic, she continuously chanted the dragon spells.

All were spells to bind the feet of the Demon God.

At the same time, the Heavenly God raised her ring.

Emergency Transfer!

The specially crafted artifact of the Angel clan that was shown to Kang Seo-yul.

She concentrated her magic to use the [Apellateni Ring].

Huh?

However, the Apellateni Ring showed no response.

As if it were broken, it didnt even respond to the Heavenly Gods magic.

How sloppy.

Watching the flustered Heavenly God, the Demon God spoke.

A smirk lingered on his lips.

Apellateni Ring. Its effect is [Emergency Transfer], forcibly sending those with pre-attached magic to a stored location.

The Demon God, who should not have been able to move or speak due to the frozen space, spoke with composure.

I knew from the beginning that you would use that ring as your last insurance.

The eyes of the Heavenly God trembled intensely.

How did you?

She was well aware that the same attack wouldnt work twice on the Demon God.

She had learned this the hard way over seven years of battle.

Wasnt your magic eye obtaining information from activation?

Thats why the Heavenly God had treasured the Apellateni Ring.

If it could only be used once, she thought she would use it at a crucial moment. She cherished and saved it.

How did you know about this ring which you shouldve seen for the first time

But to her surprise.

The Demon God already knew about the Apellateni Ring.

Thats probably why the ring isnt responding now.

Are we talking about the enemys magic eye?

Despite being bound by Inis fourfold dragon spell, the Demon God gave a dry smile.

Every day, every hour, every minute, every second. I evolve.Geett the latest novels at novelhall.com

The Demon God, who shouldnt have been able to move, took a step.

Crackle, sizzle!

The space distorted, sparking with electricity.

My evolved magic eye sees through everything in the universe.

One step. Two steps. Three steps.

With each step the Demon God took, space became more distorted.

It looked as if a shattered mirror was reflecting the Demon Gods entire body.

Heavenly God! We cant hold on for long!

Ini broke into a cold sweat and cried out urgently.

Find a way! Figure out what hes done to that ring! Thats your role, isnt it?

Yelling so, Ini exhausted all of her remaining magical power to cast dragon spells.

Spatial Freeze

Spatial Freeze

Spatial Freeze

Although these spells only acted like adhesive being sprayed on the constantly shattering mirror, they could at least delay the complete breakdown.

Hurry! At this rate, well be wiped out!

Looking at the desperate cries of Ini, the Heavenly God bit his lip.

This place is now dominated by the Demon Gods magic.

Teleportation spells are easily nullified with a mere gesture of the Demon God.

Thats why the Heavenly God had the Apellateni Ring prepared.

Its an emergency transfer artifact that operates so quickly that the Demon God wont have a chance to interfere.

Heavenly God!

A pale-faced Ini shouted again.

I dont know!

The Heavenly God lowered her head.

I cant tell what hes done to the ring

There was nothing wrong with the ring.

There was no trace of the Demon Gods magic, nor any structural issues. There was absolutely no reason for it not to activate.

Damn it!

Ini, who was almost out of the ocean of her magic, staggered.

Spatial Freeze!

Gravity Intensification!

Pressure Amplification!

The power of the dragon spells had weakened considerably compared to earlier.

The Dragon Lord would be completely out of action within 30 seconds.

Dragon Lord please take care of the heavenly beings.

What?

Therefore, the Heavenly God was resolute.

She used her divine power to suppress the Demon Gods actions. Thanks to that, the Demon Gods movements had come to a complete stop.

I will restrain the Demon God. Dragon Lord, lead the others and escape.

She decided to stay here alone and evacuate the others.

If you choose a physical escape, theres little chance the Demon God will interfere.

The Demon God has no means to stop a non-magical escape.

As long as they succeed in restraining the Demon God, there shouldnt be any problems.

You

With a pale face, Inis eyes trembled.

She couldnt bring himself to say, Are you planning to sacrifice yourself?

Dragon Lord.

Looking at Ini, the Heavenly God took off the mask she was wearing and handed it, along with the Apellateni Ring, to the Dragon Lord.

Please deliver this.

There was no mention of the recipient.

Because the Demon God was listening, she couldnt mention the name Kang Seo-yul.

Im counting on you.

But she soon reached her limit.

Against an opponent she couldnt win against even with a 2:1 advantage, there was no way she could hold out in a 1:1 battle.

How disappointing.

After a brief 30-second battle, the Heavenly God lay in ruins.

The Demon God, holding up the battered Heavenly God by the hair, cast a cold gaze upon him.

The war of the gods ended with the defeat of the light.

Not yet just a bit more

Could she not endure just 10 more seconds?

Even 5 seconds would be good.

For every extra second she holds on now, one more person might be saved.

What are you doing?

With that thought, the Heavenly God bit into the Demon Gods forearm with a desperate glare.

A woman called the God of Light, debasing herself by resorting to such primal tactics upon descending to earth.

Of course, it was to no avail.

The Heavenly God understood that too.

It was merely a tactic to momentarily halt the Demon Gods advances.

Its painful to watch.

Indeed, this action delayed the Demon Gods movements by about 3 seconds.

Now, die.

But that was the limit.

The Heavenly God was about to meet her end.

As the impending blow of the Demon God neared, the Heavenly God closed her eyes peacefully.

If I were to be reborn I wish to live like that woman in my dream.

Harboring such a fleeting thought, she closed her eyes.

Just then

ZAAAAAP!

A massive beam of light pierced through between the Heavenly God and the Demon God.

Whats this

The beam struck with such force, that it seemed to rip the hand holding the Heavenly God and shot up into the sky.

Caught off guard, the Demon God released his grip on the Heavenly God.

The beam, which surged skyward, caught the falling Heavenly God.

Are you okay?

Feeling embraced by someone, the Heavenly God slowly opened her eyes.

?

She saw a familiar mask.

The mask, named [Skys Cloud], that the Heavenly God always wore, the Angel artifact she had given to the Dragon Lord.

Luckily, I wasnt too late.

The man wearing the mask looked down at the Heavenly God with a warm gaze.

Who are you?

Looking at the masked man, for the first time, the Demon God seemed taken aback.

Why?

The warm gaze disappeared in an instant, replaced by eyes filled with hostility and enmity, as they glared at the Demon God.

Then, with a mocking smile that was clearly visible despite the mask,

Are you surprised to see this ring responding correctly?

He lifted the ring on his left middle finger.

The [Apellateni Ring] was glowing with divine power, seemingly ready to unleash its effects at any moment.

The Demon Gods eyes narrowed.

Ah, sorry. I just wanted to show you the ring. I didnt mean to be rude.

In this timeline, flipping someone off is considered a grave insult.

Youve even gifted me this ring and Im insulting you I really am quite tactless.

Gift?

Yes. Gift.

An awkward silence filled the space between them.

You dont understand, do you?

The man smirked.

Im talking about the [condition] you [bestowed] on this ring.

!

For the first time, emotion disturbed the Demon Gods expressionless face.

Who would have thought to use the Rewrite Ring like that, huh?

The effect of the Rewrite Ring is to modify the ability of an item as its name suggests.

Most use the Rewrite Ring to enhance items. But you used this ring for attack.

Who would have thought youd add a condition to disable the special ability activation itself by adding restrictions to wear the ring?

!

The Heavenly God cradled in the mans arms, shuddered at the revelation.

Both the Demon God and the Heavenly God were astounded.

Even the Demon God, it seemed, had his limits.

Under what conditions are you using that ring?

This one?

It was inconceivable for the Demon God how the man could use the [Apellateni Ring].

You were smart, but a bit unlucky.

Behind the mask, the mans pupils gleamed. They were like those of the Angels, engraved with a mystical pattern.

Of all the conditions you could have added, you chose Demon race?

The mans right pupil began to change.

Then again, you didnt know about my existence. So you stamped both [Angel race] and [Demon race] conditions on it.

The mystical pattern disappeared, and the color gradually darkened.

That eye.

The Demon Gods eyes quivered slightly.

The eye of a demon?

The blood-red irises contrasted with the pitch black. They were characteristic of demons.

Yes.

The moment the man smiled,

SWOOOSH!

From the mans back, four pairs of wings unfurled.

Half pure white like the Angels. The other half, pitch-black like the demons.

A hybrid of Angel and Demon.

Two sets of wings, each embodying opposing forces, fluttered with their distinct power.

Im an Angel-Demon. Thats who I am.

The man,

Kang Seo-yul, flashed a radiant smile.

If someone familiar with Seo-yul saw this smile, they would call it:

A scammers smile.
