Chapter 871
Episode 217. The reason why Ayula appeared (3)
Jito blinked for a moment and looked at Ayula and the dimension door alternately.
[Puhehe… … Ha ha ha! what if you close it? Did I not know how to be astonished and servile? Ayula, you stupid fellow. What if I fall for such a simple act! Are you saying that the reason I’ve been futile so far is because I’ve been wasting my energy trying to stop that?]
From the beginning, Zito was aiming for that.
He had the conviction that Ayula would have prepared for extinction in order to annihilate himself today.
[First of all, he must have planned to block the way back, somehow dealt a big blow to me, and then try to do something to me with the humans under this barrier. If I haven’t regained my strength this much, it’s a good enough tactic. But unfortunately… … That’s not true.]
As soon as he confirmed that the door was closed, Jito’s appearance began to change. New thorns sprouted all over the wings and body, and the contours of the shimmering face became clearer.
[If I kill you anyway and find your eyes, there’s no point playing around with this. Then let’s start over, foolish peace.]
The sky distorted every time Zito swung his double-thorn axe.
The same was true of Ayula’s body that the ax touched. As blood, bone, and flesh writhed, a sound more terrible than a scream arose.
The praying subjects wept at the thought of Ayula’s suffering, and Jin and Murakan narrowed their eyes.
If the fight continues like this, the outcome will eventually end with Ayula’s defeat.
“Ai-san, isn’t this really how Ayula Yangban really loses? They say that they can’t use all their powers perfectly because of royalties, but they’re too behind? Ah, the barrier. Is it because I put too much energy into the barrier when I still lack strength?”
“… … That’s right, Murakan. Ayula-sama loses today.”
Murakan’s eyes widened at Jin’s words.
“what?”
“The outcome of this fight was predetermined from the start anyway. Ayula-sama never once said that she would defeat Jito. He never even talked about annihilating him. He said that he would inflict great irreparable wounds.”
In the first place, Ayula’s goal was not to win.
Ayula knew better than anyone that it was impossible from the beginning. As Murakan said, royalties are not a place where Ayula can exert her full strength.
“The way I see it, Zito fell into a trap. I don’t know what Ayula-sama’s exact intentions are, but I’m sure Ayula-sama’s power applied to the dimensional door after the fight is over will hold Jito’s ankle.”
“Please, I hope you are right.”
It wasn’t that Jin really wasn’t worried at all.
-[Originally, this time I tried to inflict irreparable wounds on him even if I lost some of my authority. Unless Jito regains his full strength, it is because he judged that he could pose a greater threat to the public.]
What Ayula just said in the gray area.
Even if the fight went perfectly according to Ayula’s will, he would definitely lose some of his powers today.
‘maybe… … This will be the first and last time Ayula-sama intervenes in royalties like she is doing right now. All I can do is hope that the fight will end according to Ayula-sama’s will.’
If things go wrong, there is a possibility that Ayula will disappear.
On the other hand, there was no such thing as Zito. Ayula herself had nailed it as impossible.
[You can clearly see the four crying children under the barrier. My eyes must have been anxious to see it. For so long, my eyes were locked up without seeing anything beautiful.]
openwork-!
A thorny ax hit Ayula’s head.
Ayula did not recover as quickly as Zito. He controlled the spears with part of his head torn off, and at first glance it seemed that his vision was in trouble.
Two more wings were torn. While the number of times the spear pierced Zito’s body gradually decreased, the number of times the thorn ax trampled Ayula increased.
It was no longer a battle between two beings with similar powers, but an atmosphere where one-sided violence began on one side.
thud… … !
Before long, Jito plunged a thorny ax into Ayula’s chest and threw him onto the barrier. The shock transmitted to the inside of the barrier briefly caused an earthquake throughout the Holy Land.
The earthquake intensified rapidly.
It was because Zito was riding on top of Ayula and constantly beating him down with an axe. The barrier formed by Ayula’s ingenuity was still strong, but it seemed like a crack would break at any time.
[Hahaha, I feel like I’ve become an insignificant beast! Suffering from hunger, he finally found his prey. A mother who is tired of protecting her eggs. The mother will try to protect the eggs from predators somehow, even if it means sacrificing herself, but she can’t. Because, of course, the identity of the beast is Jito!]
Jito compared the crack to an egg and raised his maddening voice.
[Ayula! Meeting you first with me in Inse is such a great pleasure for me. I’ve been looking forward to this moment for a very long time.]
[You keep talking a lot. It seems like you’ve definitely won, but you still seem a bit uneasy, Jito.]
[Then, don’t worry! afraid and anxious As you said, that’s why I’m talking like this. Just like how animals often howl.]
[You have a good feeling about being immortal. Okay, now I’ll give you a present soon. I will show you what the reality of your unknown fear was.]
Suddenly Ayula spread her wings wide. Ayula continued to use her wings as a shield to block Zito’s ax attack, which had just climbed up to her.
And Ayula hugged Jito with her ten or so remaining wings.
Zito tried to tear off the wings, but the wings, which had so easily torn and fallen off so far, would not budge.
Jito’s thorns piercing the wings were playing the role of fixing the condition of the two. The two immortals looked like a huge cocoon bound together.
Ayula smiled for the first time.
[You just said it’s been a while since you saw anything beautiful in one of your eyes… … .]
[What are you going to do?]
[As far as I can see, the same goes for your remaining eye. A world full of pain, how could such a thing be beautiful? So don’t let me show you Something truly beautiful.]
Whoaaah-!
A brighter golden light spread from the golden blood-soaked wings.
And Zito felt Ayula’s energy spreading through his wings invading his brain. That energy forcibly formed various images and sounds in Jito’s head.
Of course, the contents consisted of the sights and sounds that Jito detested the most.
Let’s be together, a peaceful and beautiful world… … !
The first thing that resonated in Zito’s head was a line from a hymn to Ayula.
It was also accompanied by the sight of millions of believers with bright faces singing in unison.
[Crazy!]
Jito shuddered at once and showed his distress for the first time.
He was an immortal who was obsessed with pain to the point of torturing himself, but he was not very tolerant of this kind of ‘uncomfortable pain’.
[This isn’t good, it’s a pain I haven’t conquered yet.]
Seeing him like that was a huge psychological shock to Jito.
Because it was an illusion created inside, he couldn’t kill and torture the singing followers, and he couldn’t easily remove Ayula.
[I’m getting goosebumps!]
[There is still a lot left. The next thing to see is the sight of people who are tired of life being saved with someone’s help. And they end up living a happy life… … .]

[Even after doing such a terrible thing, you are still a god of peace, you devil… … ! fall to hell!]
Those in prayer were so focused that they didn’t hear any of their conversation, but Jin and Murakan were speechless for a moment.
“… … This is what I think, right? Was it really possible to make that Zito suffer like this?”
“It’s shocking in many ways, me too.”
Zito, who had been overwhelming Ayula all along, was nowhere to be found. There was just a pitiful fiend with an extreme aversion to light and healing.
[Stop, no!]
However, infiltrating Zito’s inner world, in itself, required great determination for Ayula.
Just as Ayula pollutes Zito’s inner side, Zito is also eroding Ayula’s inner side.
Ayula was facing a vision more vivid than reality, of the world burning and suffering before her eyes. He knew it was just an illusion, but he couldn’t deny it even with divine insight. Just as Jito is unable to respond to Ayula’s spirit that penetrates his inner self.
Which inner side collapses faster?
After all, that was the end of the fight. That is why Ayula was convinced of her defeat.
In this case, the one who has more things to love and something to protect must lose. Ayula closed his eyes and was coughing up blood, but Jito’s screams gradually subsided.
And Ayula’s wings finally broke. All the wings fastened to the thorns crumbled, revealing Ayula’s wounded body.
Ayula looked thin, like someone who would die any moment. As soon as the wings that were holding him were gone, Zito distanced himself and gasped for breath.
[Heo-eok, hee… … I almost opened my eyes to strange tastes. Although this is also a kind of pain that I have to conquer in the end. You’ve learned a lot, Ayula.]
Ayula couldn’t answer and caught her breath.
Now, Zito will surely be able to finish off Ayula. Ayula won’t be able to fight back any longer.
But Zito had to choose.
Will I use up all my remaining power to end Ayula now, or will I use that power to tear the barrier Ayula put on the dimension gate in the first place and go back. Ayula was dying, but the barrier of the dimension gate was in good condition.
Zito chose the latter.
It was because if he used all his strength to destroy Ayula now, he would not be able to deal with the humans under the barrier.
[Kuhk… … Yes, I lost today. I was tricked. This was the reason why I was obsessed with the barrier. But I don’t like this feeling of defeat. It’s an indescribably sticky, electrifying sense of defeat. Come back, next time we meet, you’ll be weaker, Ayula. At that time, I will use you enough and enjoy it.]
Soon after, Zito tore apart Ayula’s power that had engulfed the dimension gate.
And when Jito disappeared, Ayula fell under the barrier.
