I have no memories like this.
No abnormality had ever occurred in the body of the dead Balark.
That’s when Daesung sensed something unusual and raised his eyebrows.
Sigh-!
The ‘something’ that had been gradually appearing gradually grew in size as if it were inflating in an instant.
“What is this again?”
that.
It was a being whose appearance was indescribable.
It looked like a tangled tree trunk or a tumor that had expanded to an impossible size.
The only thing that could be guessed from the unidentifiable shape was that two bright red dots were visible between the bodies.
even.
He even said,
“Who are you to interfere with the destiny of the holy apostles?”
It was an unpleasant voice, as if the voice modulation had been applied to the lowest possible level.
“That’s what I’m going to say.”
As Daesung said that while clutching the Dragon Slayer Black Blade, a new message came to mind.
[The system was infiltrated by [email protected]#F unknown fjkads;ld djgldk.]
[The ‘Heavenly Transcendant’ who brainwashed the ruler of the field, ‘Balark’, vqwr%@# fdkdj#%!$.]
[ Defeat ‘heavenly fjdkad’ to adjust the causality[email protected]#fdmz.]
[If the fadjal;d of the causality is successful[email protected]#, the seal of space and time applied to the Almaᅟᅵᆼ field will be releasedfdkal10. ]
< Heavenly Transcendant >
Race: ■■■
「■■■■■■■■■」
「■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■ 」
After checking the message, Daesung narrowed his eyes and wrinkled his forehead.
The text is broken here and there, as if a virus has infiltrated it.
Apparently, the tumor in front of me was an irregularity that did not even know about the hell system.
‘Now that I think about it, I heard that the ruler of the field was brainwashed by a heavenly transcendent.’
Daesung recalled the message he saw at Pantheon before starting the quest.
Adjust causality and unseal space and time.
That tumor-like celestial transcendent transcends time and space.
That means you can go back in time.
That’s how it went back in time and used Balark, who ruled the Iron Castle of Balark, as its host.
‘If you brainwash the ruler of a field, the field that ruler ruled will also be sealed.’
If the item realization quest is to unlock the space by defeating the celestial beings currently occupying hell with the physical body of this world.
The field realization quest seemed to be a way to unlock time by defeating the transcendents occupying the hell of the past with the body of the past.
By doing so, all seals of ‘space and time’ will disappear.
‘If we kill that guy and adjust the causality, will the space and time here be distorted and the field will be released?’
I think it might be in that context.
In any case, it was unnecessary to go it alone in a situation where nothing was certain.
For now,
don’t stop at the task the apostles are carrying out, you bastard! Isn’t your life a waste of money? >
Dealing with that tumor-like transcendent is an urgent priority.
Daesung
thought as he tightly held the Dragon Slayer Black Blade, his only means of counterattack.
‘I can’t estimate the power. Since it looks like that, I can’t even guess how it will attack.’
If I were in a present-day body, I would have just killed him by tearing him down without any need to look at his strength.
But it’s different now.
The body I have now is what I was when I was weak.
At that time, I had to take care of myself somehow, understand the situation of the war, and when the enemy was stronger than me, I had to run without hesitation.
An underdog who could not guarantee victory without a complete analysis of the enemy.
Having faced an unidentified enemy with the combat power of those times, hasty action was prohibited.
At that time, when Daeseong, anticipating a fierce battle, was quietly glaring at the Transcendent.
[The materialization process has been completed and the spirit will be removed from the currently accessed body!]
Ding-!
As his vision split into dozens of directions, Daesung felt a sense of helplessness, literally draining his soul.
Pod –
Darkness spreads over his son-in-law,
“….”
Daesung instinctively surrendered himself to the stream of consciousness that told him to stretch out his arms.
The moment Daesung followed his intuition and stretched out his bulky arms forward.
Sigh-!
The darkness cleared and black blood burst out like a fountain.
And as soon as he saw the celestial transcendent before his eyes again, Daesung realized what he had just experienced in this brief moment.
< What is this... >
I am now.
< Where did you come from again? Are you the same guy? >
Tearing apart his weak body from the past.
The powerful body of this world was revealed here.
[The current body of the Absolute has cleared away the past and has descended to this place now!] A
system message appeared, as if to say that the realization was not wrong.
thud-!
I felt that the weight of my legs, which had been weak and weak, had become as heavy as a stone, and the height of my vision had risen to an extent that could not even be compared to what it had just been.
“As expected, better than the old days-”
Advent in this world.
Aware of the ‘original’ self that has transcended and summoned the sealed space and time.
“Now is a good time.”
Daesung, who was in his ‘normal state’, clenched and unclenched his fists and expressed his sentiments.
< What... >
From the perspective of a third party transcendental person, it would have seemed like a very bizarre scene.
Suddenly, the body of the enemy in front of me was torn apart, and something bigger came out of its stomach.
‘With this body, there’s no problem.’
A body that can’t imagine losing to that guy that looks like a tumor.
Daesung, who had started thinking about how to beat that guy from now on, leisurely looked at the heavenly transcendent.
< Don't set foot in the place where the task was completed, you idiot! >
The Heavenly Transcendant looked perplexed at first, but soon came rushing in, shouting with such force.
No, it would be more accurate to say that I stretched out my body.
Because it stretched out its grotesque body, which had taken root on the cut side of Valarc, and rushed at it.
yet.
A space appeared in the tumor
– like body.
In his own way, it was an act that was close to ‘opening his mouth’.
Wow-!
The Heavenly Transcendent swallowed Daeseong into that space at once.
< 'Use this guy as a host and make him the new ruler of this place!' >
It was erosion.
Now that the ruler of the field that was the host has lost his life.
He, a transcendental being, needed a new host to continue to inhabit this place beyond time.
The host was decided to be Daeseong, the transcendental being.
< 'I'll eat you from the surface consciousness and then dominate the deeper parts!' >
It dominates both consciousness and unconsciousness, trapping the host in the causality set by celestial beings.
That was the erosion done by the transcendent.
but.
< ...! >
Something was strange.
This is because, rather than controlling the deep areas, the first gateway is tightly blocked from the surface consciousness.
< 'This...' >
At that time.
The transcendent realized.
< 'You're so...!' >
He said he ate something that shouldn’t have been eaten.
No matter how cruel a boa constrictor is, it cannot swallow an elephant.
As such, it is difficult to completely dominate Daesung’s consciousness.
The level of the transcendent himself was so inferior.
< Oh my...! >
By the time I realized I had made the wrong decision, it was already too late.
Quaaaaaaaaaaa!
A majestic forearm protruded through the white body of the transcendental person, which was bloated enormously.
yet.
< Ah ah ah ah! >
Wow!
The transcendental body split apart from the inside and was torn apart as if exploding.
It seemed like a lot of green bodily fluid would burst out, but then it shimmered like a mirage and disappeared along with the flesh of the transcendental person.
“Thank you for disappearing cleanly.”
On the other hand, Daesung said this while feeling a little bit embarrassed by the discomfort of being swallowed up by the transcendental, even if only for a moment.
[Confirmation that the Heavenly Transcendant has disappeared! We restore the collapsed system!]
[The control of the transcendent disappears and the causality of the field is adjusted!]
[Complete the quest by occupying the throne occupied by the ruler of the field!] [
The control of the transcendent disappears. The causality of the field will be adjusted!]
Now a system with clean text has finally appeared.
Take the throne.
At first, Daesung said something, but he soon realized something and shifted his gaze.
To the black throne where Balark was sitting in the innermost part of the room.
“….”
Daesung slowly walked and sat down on the huge throne.
That moment. One more strange thing occurred with
Balark
‘s dismembered body.
What appeared this time was different from the transcendental creature from earlier.
It was the translucent spirit of Ballark.
Balark faced the great castle on the throne with a ghostly appearance.
The strange events did not end there.
Rattling-! thud-! thud-!
The tightly closed door of Seongju opened wide and two gusts of wind rushed in.
The gust of wind that crossed the room with terrifying force stopped moving right in front of the throne and settled on the floor.
The two gusts slowly began to take shape and lined up next to Valarc.
‘Sentinel. Annihilating dragon.’
It was the spirit of the Sentinel of Cheolseong and the annihilation dragon that Daeseong had just killed.
The moment when the three demonic beasts that appeared in the form of heroic spirits greeted Daesung, who occupied the throne.
They all bowed their heads in unison
.
Just like subjects attending a king’s audience.
In an atmosphere filled with a solemn yet strange atmosphere, the system displayed a notice.
[The space and time of ‘Balarque’s Iron Castle’ has been completely released, allowing you to revive the demons stationed in the field!] [The revived demons will
break down the walls of space and time and remain loyal to the Absolute forever!]
[Demon beasts that can be revived List: 1. Sentinel of the Iron Castle 2. Valarc’s Annihilating Dragon 3. Valarc the Annihilating Dragon Knight] [
Would you like to revive and embody the demonic beasts on the list into this world?]
***
The playground of an elementary school in Dogok-dong.
Several soldiers clutching firearms were swallowing their saliva.
Five armored vehicles parked chaotically and a steel barricade surrounding the outskirts of the circular stadium.
Considering the location, it was a scene full of disparity, but there was a good reason for it.
‘…I’m never wrong about feeling anxious.’
Colonel Oh Jin-tae stared at the swirling gate in the middle of the playground, sweating profusely.
Yes. A grade 2 gate occurred in the elementary school playground.
Of course, since the place is a place, it was natural to be careful.
‘This will definitely explode.’
Moreover, if the gate is about to show a fracture phenomenon, just paying attention is not enough.
Gather more reinforcements, have hunters on standby nearby, and double and triple barricades.
It was so obvious that it had to be done at least this way.
‘…When it was first discovered, it was said that the estimated time until the fracture occurred was 5 hours.’
The association’s gate seekers calculate the etheric wavelength and amplitude of the gate in question and analyze the remaining time until fracture.
Like the weather forecast.
And when a gate is discovered with less than 12 hours left until the fracture occurs, numerous troops are on standby in preparation for the worst-case scenario.
If the gate bursts, there is a need to prevent a disaster immediately.
However, the estimated remaining time for the fracture of the gate he is currently looking at is 5 hours.
The gate was already on the verge of bursting, but what was even worse was that.
“What time is it now?”
“It’s 23:37.”
“Damn, there’s less than an hour left.”
There is no news coming back from the hunting team that rushed to the gate to stop Fracture.
It’s already a level 2 gate, so it’s a miracle that it can be sealed within 5 hours.
However, there was no sign that the gate would close.
No matter how stupid he is, he can figure out what this is going on.
“We are preparing for combat from now on.”
“Colonel.”
“Unless a miracle happens, this gate will definitely explode.”
The words that flowed from Colonel Oh Jin-tae’s mouth made everyone present think.
They just hoped.
I hope the rush teams successfully block the gate within the remaining time.
***
Lee Do-hoon, the commanding officer of the rush team, prayed that this moment would be a nightmare.
“Turn it off…!”
It was a pure white werewolf monster whose entire body was covered in a white mane.
White Wolf, a high-level monster that appears at level 2 gates.
The weakest soldier among them all.
“Ugh…!”
Wow-!
The strongest ace of the rush team led by Lee Do-hoon was killed by breaking his neck in one blow. The white wolf soldier
growled
and snorted as if it wasn’t even worth a fistful of effort.
“Ah ah….”
Lee Do-hoon, who saw Ace’s limp body, turned his head as if trying to escape, but it was no use.
Because human corpses were scattered everywhere, forming a garden.
“Mom, Mom….”
Lee Do-hoon, a class A hunter from the association who is famous for being upright and firm, shed tears.
Thump thump –
The White Wolf soldier, who saw the remaining prey sobbing, approached Lee Do-hoon with heavy footsteps.
And
then he raised his arm, showing his claws in an unexpected way.
“Oh, mom, please save me. Mom….”
The moment Lee Do-hoon was sobbing, covered in tears and snot.
Kwasik-!
Lee Do-hoon’s neck flew in the air.
The miracle that those waiting outside the gate had longed for.
It never happened.
