Episode 1114 Pendren Ho: Samun (1)
A collection of emotions constructed by injecting the caster’s dark magic and blood into a mass of pure organic matter—it was a great catastrophe of curses originating from the Infinite Magic.Its magical form was another form of chaos that, while superficially resembling the Magic of Destruction, was fundamentally different.
Verden’s 8th-tier Super-rank Black Magic.
Great Curse: Ritual
The name of the passion body born from it, which hates fate, was as follows.
Giant of Insult.
Swoosh!
A kick from a giant that had stormed the battlefield tore apart the Archbishop of Holy Flame in an instant. It was so ferocious that exactly the upper part of his body, from the waist up, was blown away.His lower body, having gushed blood violently a few times, soon lost its strength and collapsed.
Mr. Verden?
Tearel was as bewildered as when he heard about the Transcendents and the Resistors in the Arcadium.
“B-Archbishop Brantor!!”“His Excellency the Archbishop!!”
Archbishop Eunhwi urgently searched for the upper body of Archbishop Seongyeom.The Archbishop’s remarkable reason overcame his bewilderment.
It’s not too late.
If I quickly connect the upper and lower halves with the
Crunch!
The giant pressed down on the torn-off upper body. Blood spread in the water. It was certain death.Except for the method of resurrection through the
The sound of flesh being crushed echoed quietly throughout the entire world of the Four Gates.
Sarkannon also remained silent in the face of this unprecedented situation.
Whoosh!
The Giant of Inhibition twisted its head grotesquely and turned its large palm downward. A magic circle appeared on the corpse of the Archbishop of Holy Flame, which had been split in half and crushed.
Medrant narrowed his eyes.
‘
Dark magic circles boast a higher difficulty level than normal magic circles.
The elder of the Darkwarton Magic Tower trembled.
“That dark magic circle doesn’t activate unless the target is alive, so uh, how?”
It took only a few seconds for the giant to use the black magic circle and scatter it. The head, which had been twisted about 70 degrees, returned to its original position.
A face with only a neck among its features.A single, fierce pupil ready to devour someone at any moment.Abnormally long arms, more suited for quadrupedal locomotion.A height of tens of meters.A body of the abyss that does not even reflect light.
The presence was strange.
While an indescribable sense of overwhelming presence, akin to that of a transcendent being, was felt, its nature was different. Some were purely terrified, as if witnessing a grand unknown, while others froze, as if facing a predator.
Then, the giant’s eyes tilted in an instant.
“Gasp, gasp…….”“Sob…….”“H-hey, are you okay?”
The breathing of some of the personnel twisted.Soul Tree flinched.All the aberrant beings moved stiffly.
Shallow groans tickled the ears from various parts of the battlefield that had temporarily come to a halt.
[Not resisting.]
The giant said.
[Worthless. Things.]
Just moments ago, it had been transmitted directly to the mind, but now he spoke the common language of the continent. Intense murderous intent flickered in the one eye as it surveyed the battlefield.
[You. Are. Not. Need. by. the. Father.]
Sharp, swollen fingernails dig into the palms, causing bleeding, and the curse residing in the blood materializes and takes shape.
The giant of the sea grasped the sword.
There was no one who wasn’t taken aback by the sight of the strange creature assuming a swordsmanship stance… but the one with the most intense reaction was Sarkannon.
[The Emperor’s Sword… … you say?]
No matter how perfect a theory may be, reality never follows that formula.Moreover, Verden’s super-level magic,
However, Verden’s blood was a variable.
Even though Verden has perfectly concealed his divinity, his essence remains the same. The fact that his red blood is a high-dimensional substance known as divine blood does not change.
The Giant of Inhibition was entirely composed of intense emotions, but in the process of observing the Archbishop of Holy Flame, he acquired reason and intellect that Verden had not intended, andinternalized memories related to destiny from Verden’s emotions and blood.
Ultimately drawing a different path over the line drawn by one’s parents is the choice of a blood relative.That is why they are children.
‘Your’ second apostle who dared to overwhelm Verden in the rift of the world without using all his might.
Arthur Tarenfold.
A magical being recreates the form of the first king of the human world. The reason the one-eyed one happened to imitate him was simple:he was the strongest.Among the hateful minions of fate who threatened his father (Verden).
however…….
The Giant of Inhibition’s pure actions caused a serious misconception in Sarkannon.
No one other than the Host knows that Verden and the Second Apostle encountered each other in the Rift of the World.Only a select few, including the Resistance, are clearly aware of the Second Apostle. Furthermore, there is only one being capable of creating such an intelligent entity that dares to replicate the Second Apostle’s technology.
[It is impossible.]
Sarkannon hesitated.
[There is no way a resistor would intervene───]
Oldark’s resistance forces began to move in earnest even before the Battle of Destiny resumed.The Apostle’s retinue had no choice but to conclude so.
Kwaaaaang!
The brilliant black magic imbued in the sword mercilessly swept across the battlefield. The magical sword energy engulfed Sarkannon and flew toward the others as well.
“Don’t just stand there blankly!”“Whoa?!”
Dael swiftly leaped forward, taking Yurval, who was right beside him, with him.The exterminators threw themselves at him.The influence of the sword energy was so widespread that they could not hold their positions.
Only Thearel stood still.
The sword energy did not reach her.
It was then that a multitude of energy emanated from the gate.
[Aaaa
[Aaaaaaaah!]
“A volume of… from outside!”“Oh no, what happened to the Transcendent?!”
The cursed monstrous creatures rushed in. However, they attacked their own kind. An enormous number struck the Empire from behind.
The Allied forces hesitated.
It is true that the One-Eyed One suddenly murdered the Archbishop of the Holy Flame, but… the One-Eyed One and the异形 (mutants) are hostile to the Xerion Empire.Even if we cannot trust them as allies of the World Alliance, we should still be able to utilize them.
The basics haven’t changed.
Thearel’s voice was heard throughout the entire legion.
Keep going.
Order to resume war.
Archbishop Eunhwi, drenched in the blood of Archbishop Seongyeom, rebelled.
“What…! Are you telling me to regard that one-eyed giant as reinforcements?! The one who killed Archbishop Brantor?! Besides, isn’t he attacking us as well!”“The Imperial commander is attacking too. We can save the Archbishop later.”“Black Sea!”“Shut up.”
The light in Tearel’s eyes darkened.
“If I gave you an order, you should have obeyed, right?”“…….”“If you really don’t want to, just take charge of the Four Sect’s Root Body. I’ll fight alongside him.”
Archbishop Eunhwi clenched his teeth and walked past her. The Paladins recovered parts of Archbishop Seongyeom’s body.
“I will ask about today’s matter again later……!”“Okay.”
Those who did not trust the giants headed straight for the Soul Tree. The Theocracy of Luas, in particular.A void has opened up in their top forces, but it is alright. Even though the giants are somewhat unsettling, they seem to possess power greater than expected.
[Power nowhere near that of the main body… … Though still too weak to be called an apostle of the resistor, it is troublesome. I do not know why you rushed to intervene in this way, though.]
Sarkannon, which had been clinging to the ground, gradually rose into the sky. The robe, adorned with gold trim, fluttered in the air, and the darkness hidden within grew deeper, like an abyss.
[As such, killing you would be a significant blow to the last resistor.]
Every being has a desire for recognition. The same is true for the Apostles’ retinue. It is the providence of existence that proves they are indispensable to Fate and the Apostles.
Yurval scratched his cheek with the sword handle.
“What has that guy been saying for a while? I can’t hear you.”“Step back, retired adventurer.”
Medrant increased the density of magical power to the maximum.
“It’s on a whole different level compared to earlier.”“Haha, God. Please let me see my grandson’s face again…….”
Yurgeen, an elder of the Ostea Magic Tower who distinguished himself in the battle to subdue Sandir Faen, sincerely sought a god despite not being a believer. Thiswas because the oppressive presence emanating from the surrounding area was unbearably ominous.
The senses reacted just a little late.
────────────────!
Pressure strong enough to push back the magical shield itself surged from within the gate.
* * *
The sea fleet forming a wall swayed violently as if a tsunami had struck. The water that had been wetting my ankles receded, revealing the bottom.
Kugugugugugugugugu!
The Great Cataclysm and the Apocalypse were in conflict.
The Giant of Obstruction pressed down with sword pressure while deploying a black magic circle with his other hand, and Sarkannon extended both arms to condense evil spirits.
[… … !]
Sarkannon, having obliterated the black magic circle and sword pressure, left behind a shadow-like afterimage.An inherent power as a familiar.
Death: An Illusion
The moment it touched the afterimage extending forward, the giant was sent flying with force. Sarkanon’s true form manifested at the spot where the afterimage had stopped.
Sarkannon flicked his fingertips up.
Death: Funeral
A concept of death different from that of the Dark Warton Tower Master materialized and swallowed the Giant of Obstruction. At the same time, he spread afterimages and aimed at the Allied Forces battling the Soul Tree.
BANG!
Sarkannon’s arm was struck by the deep sea beam and bounced to the side.His robe was slightly damaged.Since it was a magic that Tearel had painstakingly concentrated his magical power into, it was bound to be unaffected even by asymmetrical forces.
It works.
The 8th rank overwhelms the 7th rank.
but.
The 7th rank can kill the 8th rank.
Just as multiple extreme points can gather to face a Transcendent, the same applies to the Transcendent. However, the barrier between Transcendents is relatively thin.
Humans and transcendents live under different skies, butthose who have attained the realm of transcendence exist under the same sky.
Kuwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwa!
The water vapor in the atmosphere intertwined to create an indigo storm. The water pressure in the deep sea gradually rose, pressing down on the resistance.
As Sarkannon weakened her magic and suppressed the vortex downwards, the Ryu King of the Great Beast Tribe surged up riding the current.
How insignificant.
Death was on the verge of erasing Ryuwang’s very existence along with the magic.The vortex split into five branches. Riding one of the currents, it flew toward the direction of the Soul Tree.Sarkanon, who was conscious of the source body of the Four Gates, instantly focused his eyes in that direction.
The magic rained down.
The concentrated bombardment carried out by powerful figures from each faction, such as Medrant, Dael, Evran, Melissa, the Elder of the Zentir Magic Tower, the Elder of the Darkwarton Magic Tower, and Tearel, with the assistance of Yurgeen, was sufficient to target the life of the transcendent being.
The explosion caused by the collision of unique magic spells covered hundreds of meters in the sky.
You, too. You are insignificant.
The Giant of Obstruction escaped from death and brought his greatsword down diagonally. The afterglow of the magical explosion split, and the sound of something touching pierced the ears.
Swaaaaaaak.
Sarkannon grasped the massive blade. He braked while his feet remained on the ground. A spray of water rose and poured down as a shower.He paused, just as he was about to neutralize the giant again, then changed direction and aimed at the fleet of airships targeting the Soul Tree.
Bang!
Yurval barely managed to deflect it with his twin swords. The trajectory of the death beam shifted slightly, merely severing a portion of the seaplane’s tail.
Sarkanon glared at him.
“Oops.”“Oh my, that’s scary.”“Watch your head!”“Just like in the old days.”
Along with twin swords, fist and foot techniques disturb the air, and greatswords and demon swords dance.
Yurval of the Red Hair.Hoak, Daredor Kalb.Jakyeong, Laetila Bennett.Leader of the Black Sea, Dael.
Even though their physical prime may have passed, the combined technique performed by the four members of the Extreme was a marvel in itself. They were truly the culmination of an adventurer party.Crossing the distance between them in an instant and launching a fierce offensive, they subdued Sarkanon in a single moment.
Afterglow that awakens the silence
The unique magic of Evran, the Liberator of Valonsel, caused tremors around the undead.
At that moment───the Black Sea Tearel surged and placed its hand on Sarkannon’s body.
The tactics of the old party.A harmony akin to two transcendents joining forces.
He should use Evran’s magic to identify the weakest point of the opponent’s resistance and then increase the water pressure starting from that spot to burst the inside…but since the opponent was undead, Tearel instantly transformed the form of the magic.
Dier Canos
Tukwak!
The wedge of the surging ocean pierced Sarkannon from below upward.The upper body of the creature impaled at an angle lifted slightly.
Ugh.
Although the evil spirit seeped into her palm as it had just come into contact with Sarkannon, her resistance was not an immediate problem.
“I arrested him. Right now…….”
Kwaaaaaaaang!
A giant’s sword flew over Tearel’s head and crushed Sarkannon as he attempted to move.At the same time, multiple black magic circles unfolded in the sky, and in the split second they intersected in a straight line, a pillar of great curse exploded.
Boom! Boom! Thump! Thump! Boom! Boom!
The giant of the sea slammed down his legs and sword like a madman, as if he were facing an enemy. I had to keep my distance from the ceaseless shockwaves.
Tearel narrowed his eyebrows.
It might have been effective, but there is no way a being of that caliber would die from something like this.
At that moment, the giant paused.
The intense eyes stared at the exterminators again… and began to display actions that were completely unexpected. A great sword fell upon them.
“That bastard’s at it again!”“Get out of the way!”“Ugh……!!”
One soldier of the Arnak Empire was killed instantly after being struck squarely by a sword strike.
Veins popped out on Marysa’s forehead.
“Imperial Magic Castle! Bombard the giant…….”
[Shut up.]
The giant lowered his body. He brought his face very close to the ground and surveyed everything around him with his single eye. Thearel was beside that eye.
[Look. Right?]
“……what?”
[Death. Residing in Life.]
The giant whispered more fluently than before, but the voice was heard by only a select few. To put it simply, only by special people.
[Besides you, me, and those closely influenced by the Father, that death is hiding among the followers of fate.]
Tearel answered this with determination.
───You can… … distinguish a traitor to humanity? Then that Archbishop from earlier was one too?
[Clear yet ambiguous. Compared to the size of the Legion. It is small. But quite numerous. Wearing masks.]
The giant asks.
[Shall I kill them all?]
The giant seemed to be smiling.
This is.
Tearel felt a shiver down his spine.
The one-eyed giant originated from Verden, but he was different from him. I haven’t known Verden for long, but if I were to try to make a comparison…
Verden keeps the line.The giant does not keep the line.
The giant was like Verden, who did not keep to the line.
