I cried.
It was the first time I shed tears since I stood on the Great Sage’s throne.
When I realized that my son Ramish had died in a foreign place, I did not cry.
Because I decided to shed my tears after avenging my son.
I must have promised that, but when I saw the person who actually took my son’s life, I couldn’t stop crying. Bloody tears continued to flow from the corners of my eyes.
“That guy… That guy…!”
I was so angry and ashamed that I couldn’t bear it.
In the end, isn’t he saved by the enemy who killed his son?
Didn’t he always use polite words and laugh like an idiot at the enemy who killed his son?
Didn’t he give the Akashic Records to the enemy who killed his son and take the lead in reaching the ‘fountain of all things’?
I was playing into that guy’s hands.
Even though there was a guy in front of me who couldn’t even chew a bone, he smiled happily.
How much did he laugh inside?
Thinking about that made my internal organs twist. The nausea and bloody tears did not stop. Melcanon was so angry and angry that he cried and cried.
“….”
I can’t just cry forever.
Melcanon looked down at his chest, which had just been cut open by a sword.
Instant death was avoided, but the wound was fatal if not treated quickly.
However, he did not recover with magic or try to control it, but calmly walked away and escaped the blood.
“Great Sage!”
“What happened to that wound…!”
“omg! “Could it be that that human did it?!”
The Hekkar people were shocked to see Melcanon appear with serious injuries.
Melcanon said as he looked around at the shocked, helpless people.
“Please help me.”
“Ahhh! Yes old! Just wait! “A cure will be found soon.”
“I guess my words came out a bit in vain. Please understand me.”
“yes? What- heheiik?!”
Immediately afterwards, the Hekar tribe screamed.
Ahhhh-.
Suddenly, Melcanon grabbed the long, torn wound on his chest with both hands and opened it wide.
“Become one with me… and you will empathize with my sadness and anger.”
That moment.
Countless black hands sprouted out from inside Melcanon’s chest.
Suddenly, the protruding hand grabbed the spiritual bodies wandering around the world one by one and dragged them into Melcanon’s chest.
“Aaaah-!?”
“O great sage! “Why are you doing this!”
“Let go of this! “Let go-!!”
The spirits struggled like fish on a fishing hook, but it was no use.
They could only scream and were helplessly absorbed into Melcanon’s body.
Breathing techniques.
It was a forbidden spell developed by the Great Sage Melcanon himself.
A spell that can only be used when the body is in tatters right before death.
Otherwise, pure souls could not be absorbed.
Grumble-. Grumble-.
Every time the spiritual body was sucked into Melcanon’s body, his body shook and enlarged.
The exterior also changed drastically.
The neat young man’s appearance turned into a rotten mummy.
Rotten hands were sticking out, spattering fluids all over the huge skin.
Eventually, the part at the top that appeared to be the head wriggled and popped out.
“Kkieeeek-.”
Rather than the face of a living creature, it looks like a huge tumor opening its mouth.
A grotesque-looking monster crawled as fast as a cockroach, placing its countless hands on the ground.
Toward the door that leads to the present world.
“Kkieeeek-.”
The monster howled.
Many egos were tangled together, but only one emotion burned particularly brightly.
It was a desire for revenge.
***
[‘Corrupted Great Sage Melcanon’ has appeared!]
[If you cannot defeat him within the time limit, the real world and the real world will mix and chaos will result!]
[Remaining time: 59 minutes and 59 seconds.]
Sigh. -!!
As soon as he checked the time limit, Daesung turned the King of All Diseases into a spear.
“Kkieek-!”
Beyond the pit in the sky, a hideous-looking monster let out a roar.
A feeling of rage toward the enemy who killed his son passed through the back of Daesung’s neck.
“go away.”
phut-!
The long spear left Daeseong’s hand and flew towards Melcanon in the pit at the same speed as a bullet.
Just before the double twisted spear blade was thrust into the guy’s gaping maw.
Kwaduk-!
It closed its mouth again and broke the spear bar into a mess.
Daesung was about to feel disappointed when he saw the broken window.
Qua-ang!
“Kkieeeek-!!”
The spear blade, which appeared to be broken, suddenly exploded with a loud noise.
Melcanon’s head exploded, spraying bodily fluids with a bomb in its mouth.
Slurp-.
The remains of the exploded polearm spontaneously gathered back into Daeseong’s hand and were restored to their original state.
“It’s useful.”
As I foresaw when I first held it, the spear made by King Manbyeongji had a purpose beyond simply stabbing and swinging.
The desire to put away the Fire Flower Greatsword for a moment and test the infinite possibilities of the King of All Diseases a little more arose.
However, Melcanon’s head exploded and he died, so the test would have to be postponed to another time.
…I thought so for a moment.
Until Melcanon’s flesh fell out of the pit and onto the ground.
“…!”
Daesung kicked the ground as if to push him away and took a large step back.
Kuhuung-!!
Melcanon’s massive body exploded where he had just been.
Beyond the thick dust, I could see the head regenerating.
‘Even though I smashed my head?’
It had to be one of two things.
Either he had multiple lives, or his head wasn’t a vital point to begin with.
Seeing the twists and turns that deviate from common sense, I felt more strongly about the latter.
‘It doesn’t matter where the vital point is.’
Daesung realized. Now is not the time to test the King of All Diseases.
Since there was a time limit, it was more advantageous to kill the monster as quickly as possible even by one second.
I don’t know where the vital point is, but wouldn’t it be okay if the entire body were destroyed?
At that time, Daeseong was about to activate the seal of embodiment and summon the annihilating dragon.
“Kkieeeek-!!” “Kwaaaaak-!!”
Sharp and sinister screams came from unidentified limbs that strangely protruded here and there from the flesh.
As soon as Daesung heard the unpleasant sound and frowned, a system message appeared before his eyes.
[‘Fallen Great Sage Melcanon’ lets out a roar of helplessness!]
[The alien abilities of the target who heard the scream are sealed for a certain period of time!] At
that moment.
The black armor that covered Daesung’s strong body turned into smoke and disappeared.
The embossed seal also failed to shine and was reduced to a simple tattoo.
“What a foolish thing to do….”
I had no idea that magic power would be sealed twice a day.
Fortunately, the thing that was sealed seemed to be limited to magical power, so there didn’t seem to be any problems with the King of All Illnesses.
‘The authority is also sealed.’
I tried using the power of < gravity > as a test, but nothing happened.
In other words, he had to fight only with pure physical strength and the king of all diseases.
“It’s enough.”
The King of All Diseases is more than enough to replace most of the vacancies of summons and hell items.
Sigh-!!
The panacea that was broken into particles was transformed into a Gatling gun the size of a hand cannon.
The barrel of the gun rotated violently, and the bullets swirled like a storm.
Drurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!
Orihalcon’s magical bullets rained down and flew, shaking the monster’s entire body.
Although it has such powerful destructive power that a small explosion occurs each time a shot hits, there is no recoil from the gun barrel.
Thinking that everything was going well, Daesung started jumping and circling around the guy’s body, pouring out bullets.
‘If you put bullets in every nook and cranny, there will be damage to vital areas as well.’
Daesung’s eyes cooled down.
‘The part where it reacts most violently is the vital area.’
Melcanon flinched as he was hit by a barrage of bullets from all directions.
It doesn’t seem like it doesn’t feel pain at all, but it doesn’t seem to cause fatal damage.
This is obviously because the bullet cannot reach the vital area.
“You troublesome bastard.”
Daesung changed his strategy.
Let’s attack him with a weapon that can hit a larger area than a bullet and find his vital spot!
Sigh-!!
The King of All Diseases split once more, this time turning into a War-Hammer that is well over 3 meters long.
“Kkieeeek-!!”
Melcanon, feeling a sense of crisis, screamed and rushed forward.
At the same time, countless limbs attached to the flesh were trying to crush Daesung.
Daesung’s thick arms burst out with tendons, and the war hammer struck the man’s side.
Kwaaaang-!!
A sound like lightning shaking the ground rang out.
With that short blow, Melcanon’s body was thrown to the side.
Kwagwagwagwak-!!
Melcanon rolled down the asphalt walking path like the peel of an apple.
Daesung, who was watching the body of the guy falling down in an unsightly manner, had a bright smile in his eyes.
‘It was only for a moment…’
I saw it clearly.
If we were to compare it to a quadrupedal beast, there was something stuck in the ‘abdomen’ part of its body.
‘Melcanon.’
He was curled up like a fetus in its mother’s womb.
The most heterogeneous part of the rootless mass of flesh!
That must be the critical point.
‘For some reason, no matter how hard I tried, I didn’t get a critical hit…’
Because the vital point was facing the floor, attacks aimed only at the front, back, and left had no effect at all.
Thump thump thump!
The fully formed lump of flesh rushed forward with vicious force.
‘You have to make him show his stomach.’
Should I go and grab the body with my own hands and turn it upside down?
no. It’s strange.
Aside from the physiological problem, my instincts warned me that something dangerous would happen if I touched the limbs protruding from that lump of flesh.
‘I have to turn him over in a way that is out of my reach as much as possible.’
However, how can this be realized when the magic power is sealed and summons cannot be summoned?
The moment Melcanon came within a stone’s throw of Daeseong.
“ah.”
A flash of thought passed through Daesung’s mind like lightning.
Intermediate information!
According to the Akashic Records, there was apparently a confrontation between a Titan and a Dragon 30km to the west.
‘If you don’t have a summon, just create someone to act like a summon.’
widely-!
After making his decision, Daesung turned around and ran without hesitation.
As he ran west, Melcanon chased after him like a runaway truck.
Daesung, who was running fast, suddenly checked the time limit.
[Remaining time: 56 minutes and 41 seconds]
Cover 30km in 56 minutes and then execute a mission to kill Melcanon?
Suffice. There was more than enough.
***
“You stupid dragon! This is the land where I first captured and occupied my prey! “Stop acting like a bully and you can’t go away!”
“You go away! Foolish Titan! It’s too much land for a stone-headed guy like you! Even if someone like you ruled, it would quickly fall!”
It was a childish conversation like that of an elementary school student, but the scene that was taking place was both grand and terrifying.
bang-! bang-!
Titans and dragons, whose size was almost as large as a medium-sized building, were engaged in a fierce battle.
Every time a huge fist or claw was thrown at the opponent, the earth shook and buildings in the area collapsed.
“What should I do? If we continue to stay here, we will get caught up and die first…”
“Shall we run away at this opportunity?”
“You’re running away through that mess? “Is that suicide or something?”
And residents of the southern Russian city of Ussuriysk were stranded and terrified.
They could not overcome the threat of the suddenly appearing Titan and were taken prisoner.
All nearby hunters who bravely stepped forward were struck by the Titan’s club and became immortal.
I thought it was all over now, but to make matters worse, the dragon invaded.
The proverb that a shrimp’s back explodes in a whale fight could not be more appropriate.
“If you don’t want to get breath on your face, stop right here?!”
At that time, the dragon, which had just gained the upper hand by crushing the Titan, let out a sigh of relief.
A spear flew out of nowhere and pierced the guy’s temple.
Puh-uh!
When the spear exploded, the dragon’s head exploded.
“Ugh!”
The Titan couldn’t come to his senses as blood-soaked flesh and brain fluid poured over his face.
“What the fuck is happening all of a sudden?”
The Titan shook his head to shake off the debris and looked back toward the direction the spear had just come from.
There was a white-haired human running quickly.
It was a shame to have borrowed help from a mere human, but the corner of his mouth pulled up and he grinned.
“Hoo. You must be an extraordinary person to kill a dragon with one blow. “Do you want to be on my side?”
Before he could finish speaking, the white-haired human jumped up like a thunderbolt and landed on the back of the Titan’s neck.
It happened so quickly that I was dumbfounded for a moment.
Sigh-!
“Kaaaaaaak-!!”
A long sword pierced the Titan’s neck.
Exquisitely, the hilt of the sword stopped right before piercing the artery.
The Titan asked, waving his arms with blood in his eyes.
“What are you…?!”
Daesung, the human sitting on the back of his neck, did not respond.
As the Titan struggled wildly, holding its arms behind its back, it screamed when it spotted Melcanon running quickly from the other side.
“What is that again?!”
“Listen carefully. “There is something you need to do for me.”
“Keuuk…. What what…?!”
“You see that guy running over there? “You turn that guy upside down.”
“bloke-! “You think I’m crazy and will follow your advice… Huh?!”
At this time, Daesung gently pushed the hilt of the sword inside.
The tip of the blade tried to hit an artery and ended up failing.
“You must have felt it now. “If I move my arm just a little bit more, you will die instantly.”
“Kwaaaak…!”
“Just do what I tell you and I’ll let you go.”
Titan, who was not very smart, believed what he said.
Even if I didn’t trust him, I had no choice.
“Kkieeeek-!!”
Soon, Melcanon, who was right in front of us, screamed and rushed at us.
The terrified Titan recklessly swung his fist and struck the guy.
bang-!
Chi-ik-.
“Kkieeeek-!!”
“Woo-ah-ah! Damn it-!!”
Then, the Titan’s fist rotted as if it had been touched by acid.
Daesung saw that and felt proud, thinking that he had done well not to touch it himself.
And more than anything, thanks to the current blow, Melcanon comically flipped over into a belly-facing position.
“Ha, I did what I was told! “Stop letting me go now!”
“of course.”
Kwasik-!
The long sword penetrated deep into the nape of the neck and passed through the artery.
The Titan, covered in blood, died quietly without a word.
widely!
Daeseong jumped down on the Titan’s collapsing giant body.
Huaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
The distance from Melcanon’s ‘true body’ curled up on his abdomen quickly narrowed, and
Daeseong extended his long sword with more force.
Phew-!!
***
The ugly piece of flesh broke into pieces and exploded.
A skinny mummy crawled on the floor amidst fluttering flesh like feathers.
“….”
Daesung realized at once.
The fact that that mummy is Melcanon.
widely-.
Melcanon slowly approached and grabbed Daesung’s ankle with his bony hand.
“Off… Off… Off….”
“You must be resentful of me.”
“Off… Off….”
“But I couldn’t help it.”
It was an emotionless voice.
“If I didn’t kill your son, everyone around me would have died.”
“Queu….Queu….Queuuh….”
Tears overflowed from Melcanon’s eyelids, which were as dark as a skull.
I don’t know about Daesung, but in fact, Melcanon was crying because he was sad.
All of this just made me sad and I cried.
“I will find and kill the person who brought this situation to this point.”
Daesung raised his head.
The sleet was swirling so fiercely that it was difficult to see the gray sky.
So he looked down at Melcanon again.
“I will definitely kill you.”
Pakak-!
Daeseong stomped on Melcanon’s head.
Red footprints were engraved on the white snow field covered with cow clothes.
