Genius Corpse-Collecting Warrior Chapter 296

296

Light of Beginning (2)

[Kick…….]

Two shadows falling side by side against the background of the red vortex in the middle of the city.

[what? Hell?]

The evil spirit’s sneer in response to Dallen’s words shoots sharply across the gap between the two.

Dallen didn’t answer. He just made a hand sign with familiar movements.

‘Arbor.’

[yep. Ready.]

As soon as the demon of subspace was summoned, a gap in space opened as if it had been waiting.

Ugh…!

The object that appeared as if shooting out between them was a blood-red dagger obtained from the corpse of a warlock a long time ago.

A ceremonial dagger that has served as a catalyst to open the door to hell several times over the years.

“Se glam.”

At the same time as the chanting, magical energy pulses.

The spell that is activated is the skill ‘Key to the Gates of Hell’ obtained from the corpse of a warlock a long time ago.

The magic technique, which is nothing short of proof of one’s qualifications as a proper warlock, has already reached a level of mastery over a long period of training.

In addition, by inheriting the legacy of Dalum Jive, he deepened his knowledge of black magic itself, evacuated his colleagues from the labyrinth, and built a passage connecting the fantasy world and reality.

「Jokmunsu-rae」

The experience and proficiency gained through the entire process were dense enough to sublimate the skill itself into something of one’s own.

Damn it…!

A huge crack splits the sky above the city.

The evil magic of the Great Hell pours out without hesitation from beyond the curtain of blood-red magic that flickers on the surface of the crack.

[What…!]

So much so that the evil god himself, the ruler of hell, let out a fit of embarrassment.

It’s natural. The most important prerequisite for opening the gates of hell is permission from the owner who rules the hell.

Although they may be low-level demons that are not much different from high-ranking demons, demons above a certain level completely control all the power and authority of the hell they rule.

[How…!]

“How were you able to open the door to your territory at will?”

Dallen grinned.

“I don’t know.”

This is not possible just by ripening the order.

Is it because of the enlightenment of Dalum Jive, who defeated the evil spirit as a warlock?

Or is it because it originally resonated with Arbor’s power spell that traverses space, time, and even dimensions?

Perhaps it was simply because his power completely deviated from the standard after obtaining the Wish Stone.

It didn’t matter anything. The important thing is that with this, you can drive him into hell and completely destroy him.

By doing so, it was true that at least during his lifetime, there would not be any evil spirits invading the continent again.

“Some people stick their heads into the devil’s mouth to do the same thing, but… I’m not that type of person.”

He also has some abilities like a spellcaster that he didn’t have. Dallen’s new form, which laughed lowly, instantly dissipated into shades of gray.

「Returning」

Dallen, who disappeared from the shadows, appears in the face of the evil spirit.

「Forty-eight Yeondapsan (四十八八聯踏散)」

His body, divided into forty-eight, tightly bound the body of the evil spirit from all directions.

「Dabbo(踏步)」

「Yeomsa(炎巳)」

The gods attack the air all at once and rush towards the gates of hell, dragging the body of the evil spirit.

────!!

The purple rays instantly annihilate nearly ten clones, but a red flame snake burrows through the cracks and tightly clamps down on the evil spirit’s body.

[You think you can make me fall like this…!]

“That’s a long story.”

Quack!

Hundreds of pale hands hold on to the edge of the Hell Gate.

A crack in space at the border of the Gate of Hell emits a harsh scream and begins to spread in all directions.

「Thunder Strike」

However, the moment the strong fist came down on it, the flash of light even tore apart the hand that was stubbornly holding on to the crack.

“Get out of reality quickly.”

Gurgling!

With a thunderous sound, the center of the body suddenly snapped downward, and the two beings fell into the deep darkness beyond the gates of hell.

*

The fall was not long.

────Boom!

The end of the distant feeling of floating. A solid foundation beneath your feet.

Dallen looked up. What unfolded before my eyes was a beach shrouded in fog.

Shoot…!

The sound of waves tickled my ears. The surface of the beach was not sand, but smooth rocks.

Dallen gently shook his shoulders and stood up. Enaxagus, who had been holding on tightly just a moment ago, was nowhere to be seen.

Only the blue blood and flesh splattered on the armor showed that it existed.

Did he use the power of hell to disappear while crossing the gates of hell? As I was thinking that, the ancient dragon beyond the image cautiously opened its mouth.

[A monotonous beach. Was this what the interstellar throne of Enaxagus recorded in Dallan Diamond Palace looked like…?]

“No. No way.”

「Payeong’s Magic Eye」

Clears away the cloudy fog that obstructs vision with the power of the Magic Eye.

The brightly lit clock quickly spread out in all directions, revealing that what was thought to be a beach was actually a large lake.

[…Oops.]

Jeokchang let out a soft sigh as they watched the scene across the lake together.

she muttered.

[It seems like a trap.]

Dung. ridge. ridge. Dung….

The sound of drums rings out.

The scenery to the north, south, east, and west of the beach was hell.

In the north, the marching music of war drums rings out from the ruins of the palace made of corpses, blood, fire, and metal.

To the south, the Land of the Dead, covered with skulls and rotten intestines, raises the dead with a chilling wind.

[――――!]

Above the western mountain range, dead dragons were gathering and flying in the form of spirit bodies.

From the Sea of Plague that spread to the east, countless mutants rose and began to flock, flying and crawling.

The horizon did not exist.

There is only the infinitely extending territory of hell and the armies of hell pouring endlessly from that territory and charging towards the lakeside.

[okay. It worked as expected.]

Ripples arose on the lake. It was the voice of Enaxagus.

[Do you think that being the master of the five hells… only applies to the number of my powers and the number of people in my household?]

The figure of the bastard was still not visible. The same goes for the source of the voice.

Not even Pa-yeong’s sensitive senses, sixth sense, or even Pa-yeong’s magical eyes could detect its presence.

[However, complete union is different. Thank you. I learned all of this from watching you.]

And his voice was now full of laughter.

[Kihihi… The well of the inverted sky simply did not give you complete power. By testing your qualifications and verifying your efforts, we have directly incorporated the realm of heroes who have fulfilled their duties in other world lines into your realm.]

A mockery that seems to be whispering right next to you, but lacks a sense of distance, as if shouting from afar.

A tone similar to the sound of metal spreads over the lake. The ripples on the lake became increasingly rough.

[okay. With that, I became complete. I am the conqueror of the five great hells and the master of one great hell! All of this constitutes me, and I am hell itself.]

Drudduddudd….

The ground began to shake little by little. The army had already reached a distance of about ten kilometers.

The northern vanguard was a knight riding a thorny boar. To the south, a monster bird with its intestines flapping and its stomach split was the first to fly in.

Running behind them is a ghost knight, a giant with tentacles sprouting from its eye sockets, a metal ball the size of a garden with pupils, a man-eating tree walking on its roots, etc.

Dallen listened to the evil spirit’s voice in one ear and looked into its face. There were some monsters I had seen in the game and many others I had not seen.

[Your judgment was correct. Even if they had defeated me on the spot, since I was in hell, I would have trampled on the continent again.]

Dallon thought instinctively. If you wipe them out, they will give you a lot of experience points. So how much more can you level up?

And he immediately started laughing. It was funny to me that even though I had obtained the Wish Stone, I still thought about the level first.

In addition, it was fun to be in a situation where I had enough time to think like that. It’s like the power of hell is rushing to kill me.

[However, that judgment will also result in your death. Even if you have reached a level not permitted to mortals, how can you face an infinite army alone… Why are you laughing?]

“It’s not a big deal. “I thought this is what it feels like to use cheats and play games.”

[Cheat key?]

“There’s such a thing, dude.”

The army is now several kilometers away. Breathe in slowly.

The toxic air penetrated my lungs and burned me alone, and the purified magic spread through my blood vessels to my five organs and six organs, infusing new vitality.

When I looked up, there was only dark darkness. Darkness without the midday sun or even the moon or stars in the night sky.

Hell is said to have been created by the sins and malice of humans, but it is strange that there is light in the sky.

He shed his meaningless thoughts and stretched out his hand toward the sky.

“Then I guess I’ll have to make it.”

───━━━

Space slowly crumples at my fingertips.

Like a piece of cloth that has faded with age. Like a piece of parchment that was gathering dust on a table.

After being distorted, stretched, and twisted, it crumbles.

What fell through the torn gap was a ray of light.

──━━│││

The white background that filled the monitor at the start of the game.

「Realm Advent」

A pillar of light that seems to have been erected smoothly with its colors refined.

「The light of beginning falls on the snowy mountain」

A ray of light comes in and the border of the world is torn apart.

New laws begin to pour out from beyond the tiny gap like a dam bursting.

┃┃││││┃┃

The world collides with the world.

The shock wasn’t as big as it was in the labyrinth.

The snow-capped mountains did not soar, and dark red clouds did not loom.

The sky only brightened slightly around the pillar of light hanging on one side of the lake.

“Oh, one more thing.”

Dallen, who was looking up at the brightened sky, opened his mouth as if he suddenly remembered something.

“They say I fight alone, but I guess I was mistaken. “I had no intention of fighting alone from the beginning.”

And another small light twinkled in the sky.

*

It was a small light like a distant star.

As soon as it appears, the light gradually increases in size and burns brighter.

║

As it got a little bigger, it became clearer. The light was not getting bigger, it was getting closer.

║

║

║

║

From point to circle.

From a circle to a small pillar.

The sight of another small pillar of light landing next to the pillar of light on the lakeside.

The diameter of the flickering pillar of light was about two meters. Soon, a blurry figure walked out from inside the pillar of light.

“Why did it take so long?”

The warrior’s physique was similar to Dallon’s.

Solid muscles showing through torn armor. Traces of battles, big and small, covered those muscles.

An axe, sword, and shield were fastened to leather belts on his waist and back. The warrior scratched his chin and continued.

“Maybe he’s a game addict, but he’s still late for his appointments.”

“When have you ever set a time? “A massacre bastard who killed all his friends and enemies alike.”

The black eyes were wide open. He said with a soft laugh.

“But based on my first time in life, I have achieved more than you. Isn’t that right?”

“A poem like this….”

“You’re not going to lose even one fucking word?”

“…okay.”

The warrior laughed again. This time out loud.

His gaze scanned the monsters and demons that had already approached the lakeside. He chuckled and raised his calloused, rough hand.

「Black Thunder」

A black thunderbolt burns the leading demon.

「Anonymous Answer Blade」

A downpour of lightning erases the rest that followed the devil.

With just one turn of the hand, the leader of the army evaporated.

The margin, which had been narrowed to hundreds of meters, has expanded again and is now in kilometers.

Of course, the army of Hell continued to charge, even if the leader was all burned to death. Dallen asked, scratching his chin like the warrior had done a moment ago.

“Where are the rest?”

“above.”

As I raised my head following the warrior’s gesture, I saw dots sparkling and growing larger.

“It’s coming.”

Those were hundreds of pillars of light shooting down from the slightly brightened sky toward the lake.
