Good luck!
One of the seven suns that rose in the sky and illuminated the earth lost its light.
As a result, the three suns suddenly turned black, like the moon experiencing a total solar eclipse.
The clear-colored sky gradually lost its color. The once warm wind now blew with a chilling chill.
Hehe!
The flowers blooming densely on the ground met the wind and their leaves rustled.
A flower field with the reddish glow of the sunset calmly falling before night.
It was a temple, a land where only angels with six or more wings were allowed to tread.
“Oh my god, Dawn again…!”
“Could it be to Ragmaon?”
“Instead of staying in the temple, shouldn’t we go out? At this rate, the entire heaven…!”
“Don’t be impatient. “If there are no apostles, who will protect the temple?”
A commotion broke out in the temple, which was said to be a sacred and inviolable territory.
The four remaining apostles hurriedly looked up at the sun, immersed in lonely darkness.
Dawn, a small star in the temple symbolizing the life of an apostle.
Because it lost its light, it meant that another apostle had met death.
The sun sets one by one, and the temple slowly becomes dark.
It was then. The first Apostle Armagan suddenly sensed a certain presence and quietly opened his mouth.
“…Be quiet for a moment. “Except for Ragmaon and Einrich, are there any other apostles who left the temple?”
The three apostles, who had been arguing about whether to leave the temple behind and face the outside invaders, all fell silent.
Armagan counted the number of apostles who suddenly looked like they were asking such a question.
Four including myself.
Apparently, no apostle left the temple after Ragmaon.
But…
“…Why is the entrance to the temple open?”
“what…?!”
I didn’t notice because of the messy and confusing atmosphere.
The other apostles, who heard Armagan’s words, simultaneously turned their heads to a spot in the flower field.
Hwii!
The round flower petals radiated brilliance like a living being with an ego.
It meant that the entrance to the temple was opening.
“You must not let them in!”
The fourth apostle, Adonis, stretched out his long spear with a dazzling blade and flew towards the entrance.
The moment the enemy appears outside the entrance, it seems as if they are shouting that they will pierce the vital point!
The moment when the new form of Adonis rushed right in front of the entrance.
Kwasik-!
The first thing to appear through the light at the entrance was not the enemy.
A huge sword of fire.
It squeezed through the entrance and fell down, breaking the top of Adonis’ head.
Splat!
The blood splashing promiscuously turned the white plum blossoms that covered the flower garden red.
“….”
“Gasp….”
The other apostles gasped and were speechless at the utterly meaningless death of the apostle.
Damn it!
Soon, the person wielding the sword finally walked out of the entrance, revealing his appearance completely stained with Elyos blood.
Daeseong said as he lightly stepped on the broken head of Adonis, who was rolling across the flower field, along with the plum blossoms.
“I came here after hearing that there was a bastard named Ju-Jin here.”
***
I wondered why an unauthorized being could enter the temple with such confidence.
It was also questionable what its identity was that could slaughter the Holy Knights of Heaven and overwhelm the Apostles like killing insects with such an overwhelming difference in power.
“Defend the temple, brothers and sisters! “Make the enemy pay for the crime of crossing sacred ground!”
“this guy-! How dare you tell me where this is!”
But the doubts are put aside.
For now, the priority was to drive that unknown enemy out of the temple as quickly as possible.
Huh-!
As many as three apostles rushed forward, spreading their six brilliant wings wide.
A sword, a blunt weapon…. The sacred weapon, said to drive out darkness and bring light through blood and death, was wielded by only one enemy.
“Not you guys-.”
Daeseong, who looked displeased at the apostles who flew in with murderous intent, pulled out the fireworks sword that was deeply embedded in Adonis’ skull.
The dark red flames on the body of the sword burned away the traces of blood.
“Bring that bastard.”
[Special Skill: < Rage >]
Huaaaaaaaaaaa!!
An enormous flash of light erupted from the great sword and rushed towards the three apostles, emitting a hot wind.
“Ugh…!”
“Oh no! “The temple!”
“How far do you have to go on a rampage to lose your temper, you guy!”
The apostles were more deeply angered by the fact that the temple was burning than by the heat of rage that seemed to seep into their souls.
Second Apostle ‘Lemuët’ took the lead and raised his golden medal high.
“Gracious Lord! Look down on your Lamb from all the evil that threatens heaven!》”
Flash-!
A spiral-shaped radiance emanated from the silver orb attached to the end of the stone cabinet.
The holy light, bending like a storm, completely erased the fiery flames that were devouring the flower garden.
All the flames that touched the light extinguished like waves. It was not only < Rage >, but also the flames of the Fire Fire Greatsword in Daeseong’s hands were no exception.
‘now…!’
Armagan did not miss the sight of sinews on Daesung’s face just now. That faint reaction must mean that the enemy is confused!
Pak-!
Armagan, who stepped on a rough slope as if pushing the ground, drew a horizontal line in the air and struck with his sword. A thunder sword covered with thousands of thunderbolts quickly dug into Daeseong’s neck.
Kang-!
Daeseong gently raised his sword blade to block the blow. With the fire of fire gone, the Fire Fire Greatsword was now nothing more than an ordinary great sword.
On the other hand, Armagan’s sword was still engulfed in the thunderbolt of violent power. Even if it was blocked, the force that comes from the difference in weapon performance would be unavoidable. While he thoughtlessly blocked the sword strikes that came in succession, Daeseong’s feet began to gradually slide back.
“《Fly like a spear that pierces the heart of evil!》”
“《Gracious Lord! Please give us the power to destroy evil!”
Taking advantage of the opportunity that Armagan put Daeseong on the defensive, the two remaining apostles chanted in unison and exercised their omnipotence.
Kugugoogung-!
The Third Apostle Rodrik slammed his mace down on the unoccupied ground.
At that moment, strangely enough, only the gravity at the point where Daesung was was suddenly became heavier. Daesung, who was frantically chatting with Armagan, felt his legs become heavy, as if he were wearing sandbags.
As soon as Rodrik’s power tied his feet, the omnipotence of the remaining apostles did not miss the opportunity and attacked.
Doo doo doo doo!!
The six arrows sprayed from the bow freely traversed and flew toward Daeseong. The light emitted from the stone cabinet made Armagan’s swordsmanship a little more flexible.
‘This is not the time to deal with this guy.’
That arrow!
It was as fast as a bullet, but to Daeseong’s sharp eyes, the arrow’s movement seemed slow.
Pak-!
As I widened the distance by kicking as if I was pushing the ground, the flat ground became dented. Armagan stopped his actions and covered his face with his hands as a thick cloud of dust exploded, as if a land mine had exploded.
‘That’s impossible! how…!’
The person who was most shocked was Roderick, who made gravity heavier with his mace.
It must have been heavy gravity, as if an island was weighing down. It wouldn’t be surprising if he was crushed to death, but he could move freely there.
‘I’m going crazy.’
Meanwhile.
Contrary to the helplessness that Roderick felt, Daesung was swallowing his curse as he busily moved his body to avoid the arrow.
In the process of forcibly leaving the area where the gravitational field was deployed, the calf muscles were torn and the leg bones were twisted.
It’s dangerous to stand still, but with arrows flying above your head like guided missiles, it’s bound to be a headache.
‘They say they have no intention of stopping until they stop me.’
Daesung’s eyes narrowed as he glared at the arrows that were persistently following him.
Whioooooo-!
The dark vortex that opened Pandemonium swirled behind him.
“Liberation of dead souls. “Thirty.”
Hyaaaaa-!
Thirty dead spirits burst out of the whirlpool and soared into the sky.
Kwagwagwagwang-!!
Six arrows collided with the dead spirit that flew out of nowhere and exploded. A loud explosion shook the flower garden.
The apostles shrugged their shoulders when they saw that scene.
“It’s not that easy.”
Should we be surprised that this guy is giving orders to the dead souls trapped in Pandemonium?
Or should we be amazed at the mad wit of those who use dead souls to escape the crisis?
“I assure you, if we don’t kill that guy within today, heaven will be destroyed.”
Sreung! Puzzle-!
Armagan, with a determined expression, raised the power of his thunder sword.
Not only Armagan but the rest of the apostles also had this intuition.
The culprit who lifted the seal on time and space that had been placed on hell was that man!
“Apostolicization!”
Armagan scolded, blood forming in his neck. At the same time, the scenery of the flower field changed in an instant.
It was a wide wilderness that seemed to have been swept by a storm of war. The snow, mixed with ash and turning black-gray, was scattered across the land among the burning fires.
“…!”
Roderick and Lemuët raised their eyes when they saw a translucent sphere that suddenly appeared in front of them.
Armagan opened the world of imagery. It was no different from a declaration of war that the so-called first apostle would do his best to fight.
-This is my personal image that I have not shown to anyone since becoming an apostle. I’m sorry to show you my tattered feelings.
After undergoing apostolic painting, Armagan’s appearance changed from a cold-hearted middle-aged man to that of a bull standing proudly on two legs.
Naturally, the sword became so large that it was difficult to fit it all into view. The sword that had only partially surrounded the thunderbolt had now become real thunder, as if it had come down from the sky.
-Even if I open up the world of images like this, you might end up killing me.
“….”
-But you die too. Even if my heart breaks and my soul collapses, I will somehow kill you right here.
As soon as he finished speaking, the sword struck where Daesung was. The light bursting from Lemuët’s stone cabinet constantly extinguished the flames of the great sword. Daeseong said he was a chicken instead of a pheasant, and used magic instead of flames to block the thunder sword.
Rumbling-!!
Daesung frowned when a thunderous force that seemed to shake his entire eardrum was heard right away.
Feeling surprise, Armagan slightly trembled with the thunder sword in his hand. He proudly blocks his attacks without dodging them!
-You have surpassed the apostles. Because of this, even Ragmaon and Einrich were left helpless.
“Are you naturally this talkative? Just now, whenever you used a skill, you shouted out a strange spell, and my fingers almost curled up, you childish bastards.”
-Strange spell? You don’t know what. It’s a chant. If you don’t say the chant…
“Shut up. “I didn’t ask.”
The stalemate continued endlessly.
It was Armagan who gradually gained the upper hand, as if the title of ‘First Apostle’ was just a superficial armband.
Of all the people I’ve faced over the past two years, he has the skills to be worthy of being called an ‘enemy’.
‘boring.’
However, Daesung is not an aggressive person who feels pleasure in a tense fight.
The stronger the enemy I encountered, the more I wanted to finish it quickly.
“I’m getting sick of chatting with you guys in places like this. “Now let’s finish this quickly.”
-Whoever wants it to end…
Armagan, who was about to scold him for being very arrogant, stopped what he was saying.
Fass!
Daeseong’s hand, which was holding the handle of the sword, was suddenly filled with a black air current that could not be determined whether it was smoke or fire.
-‘It’s not unusual…!’
Armagan kicked the ground and widened the distance.
And the airflow that had just flowed toward the spot where he was standing quickly began to take shape.
In the shape of a dragon.
Koooooo-!!
The annihilating dragon that had been struggling in the White Territory had now completely regained its strength and roared powerfully.
The annihilating dragon also moves with Daeseong’s magic power. And at this very moment, magic power was being supplied in real time as if Pandemonium’s demonic beasts were filling up a machine with gas.
-A dragon…
A dragon race that is extremely rare among heavenly spirit beasts.
Among them, Armagan, who saw the perfect Holy Body, babbled in a tone of wonder or astonishment.
Pak-!
Before he could quickly stab the annihilating dragon in the heart with his thunder sword, it picked up Daeseong and flew into the sky.
Wow!
And he opened his mouth wide.
[The energy of annihilation rises.]
A vicious energy shook Armagan’s tranquil mental world.
The magical energy welling up inside the bottomless pit-like throat of the annihilator dragon blurs the wilderness itself.
If the world of images is shaken, it means that Armagan’s heart is shaken.
He felt a brief moment of fear in the face of this overwhelming, ominous power.
-Do you think I will just leave it alone? I’ll pierce you right through the mouth!
However, the boiling fighting spirit calmed the agitation of his heart.
Pak-!
Armagan, with wings protruding from his back, soared towards where the annihilator dragon was.
-It’s late, you guy!
It’s as they say. It would be faster for a thunder sword to penetrate the mouth of an annihilator dragon than for a light spray to be fired.
“Liberation of dead souls. “All 200 of them.”
Of course, for Daesung, it was within the expected range.
Geaaaa-!!
Once again, the gun gates were opened wide, and ghosts poured out from the whirlwind.
Armagan saw the ghosts flying like a flock of bats and raised his sword.
-Pfft…!
The dead spirits ran wild, surrounding Armagan.
Armagan nervously swung his thunder sword violently.
Kwazijic-!
In one short strike, 200 ghosts disappeared like dust blowing in the wind.
-…!
The moment Armagan was looking up at the sky with wide-open eyes.
[The annihilating dragon pours out a beam of light.]
—-!!
A beam of light appeared from the black dragon’s mouth, signaling the end of the fight.
Armagan, who witnessed the oncoming beam of light burning his retinas, instantly froze like a stone statue.
-‘Can we stop it?’
A feeling of skepticism took over my whole body.
no.
The first apostle blanked his mind as he faced the pouring rays of apocalypse.
At this moment, only Armagan was slowly accepting the passage of time.
-We must stop it!
He made up his mind. I will kill that man even if it means killing Donggwijin.
Armagan gathered all the divine power he had. The brain sword grew uncontrollably huge. What was once a long sword has now become a massive greatsword.
Cut the light with your sword. It may have been impossible, but Armagan had the confidence to make it possible.
Kwaaaa-!!
As he rotated his thoughts once, the light spray flew right in front of his nose. The heat, as if facing the sun, tanned his skin.
-Aaaah!!
The moment when Armagan burst into spirit, ready to vomit blood.
Pot!
White light colored his vision.
For a moment, Armagan thought the light spray had engulfed his body.
But no.
-ah…!
Armagan slowly regained focus and sighed.
A gleam appeared in his eyes that were cold and indifferent, like frost. Armagan opened his mouth so wide that his jaw seemed to drop.
-Ahhh…!
Armagan’s face began to color with joy.
White light flickering before my eyes.
Armagan saw the old man immersed in the light. No, it’s not locked. The warm light gently enveloped the old man.
The pain from the heat that had burned my skin disappeared as if it had been washed away.
“Lord, Lord….”
Armagan, immersed in delusion, said the name in a steeply trembling voice.
It is obvious what happened.
Jusin erased the light scattering.
To protect your lambs!
“Lord…!”
The world of images disappeared and a temple full of flowers was revealed. Armagan did not want the great being to see the wasteland submerged in a sea of fire.
“….”
Daeseong sent the exhausted annihilating dragon back into the seal of realization.
widely-.
The moment he stepped on the ground and stared silently at the white light spreading throughout the temple.
“Don’t you think too many lives have been lost?”
The light asked so much.
A voice with unclear gender boundaries.
The silhouette in the light had very long hair and thin lines. It would be difficult to determine whether the main deity is female or male based on that alone.
“Let’s stop. “Let’s stop the senseless killing and talk step by step.”
“….”
“You are not someone with a strong desire to win. When you fought my apostles, I saw the emptiness in your eyes. “That is a look that can never be contained by someone who takes slaughter as pleasure.”
Daeseong put away his sword for a moment and quietly listened to the Lord’s words.
The apostles of the temple, including Armagan, were bowing by placing their hands and foreheads on the floor.
“Please understand that it is not yet time for you to wake up from the sanctuary, so please understand that I have hidden my unkempt appearance.”
Light slowly, very slowly closed the distance to Daesung. The flowers that had been trampled and burned were in full bloom.
“You just said that as you entered the temple. He said he came to find the Lord. Yes, I am the one you have been looking for so desperately.”
“….”
“You probably have a lot of things you want to say to me. There are probably a lot of things you want to ask. I’ll give you the answer. honestly. “Without a single lie.”
Soon the white light approached Daesung’s nose and stopped.
Nevertheless, Daesung could not clearly see what kind of face the person named Ju-Sin in the light had.
The Ju-Sin was silent.
As if to say that now it is Daesung’s turn to open his mouth. As if it were time to stop living and start asking questions.
That moment when silence passed and a refreshing breeze passed between the two.
Deep!
“…?”
The apostles, who were lying down without even daring to raise their heads, suddenly heard such a sound.
And then, at that moment, everyone raised their heads at the same time without a single second of error.
dump.
The apostles were able to see the main body of the main god being torn apart as his chest was pierced by the great sword of fire.
“….”
The apostles were caught in the illusion that every cell in their bodies was frozen.
The light gradually lost its source, and soon a corpse with skin torn apart, like a broken gourd, was revealed among the flower beds.
“Is there anything you want to ask? There are a lot.”
Finally, Daeseong was able to see the face of the god he had longed for.
Unfortunately, given the condition of the body, the gender was unclear.
Well, what do you think?
“But I have a technique that allows me to look into the head of someone who has already been knocked down.”
Business done.
Now all that’s left is to cut off the head of the god to extract his memories and return to Earth.
