Part 2, Episode 255.
Cardium felt a strange sensation.
‘What… what kind of sensation is this?’
A strange sensation that is incredibly unfamiliar, yet not the first time feeling it.
At the same time, it was also an extremely unpleasant sensation.
Wherever those eyes touched, merely staring, I felt an inexplicable pressure, and it felt as if a chilling sensation was strangling my throat.
‘ah.’
I remembered.
This chilling sensation. It was a threat.
When standing at the crossroads of death, a powerful warning sent by instinct at the cellular level, shouting to flee.
Cardium glanced down, lowering his heavy eyes, and looked down at his hand.
… … my fingertips were trembling.
‘… … I felt death?’
At the undeniable evidence, the energy of the cardium surged explosively.
[Power of the Apocalypse – Leviathan manifests.]
-No! You can’t beat me! I said that’s impossible!!
And then, Cardium rushes in as if in a desperate struggle.
A sinister momentum imbued with the power of the apocalypse surged ceaselessly, engulfing the surroundings, but… … .
Rustle-
It was cut in two and vanished with a single, light horizontal slash from Dohyeon.
-ah……?
I do not feel the power of the apocalypse.
Of course.
[Sword of Life-Shattering – Casting Soul.]
[Directly interferes with the target’s area to disrupt the flow of mana.]
[If timed correctly, it can interfere with abilities currently being cast, and depending on the power, it can even interfere with divine powers.]
[Reaching the pinnacle of the supreme realm, the Shadow-Shattering Sword and the soul reach a new domain.]
Because the Shattering Sword, having reached the supreme realm, could cut through his power at any time.
… … even the soul.
Kwaaaaaa-!!
-Kaaaaaa!!!
Kadium screamed in terrible pain, as if his soul were being torn apart.
This pain.
‘… … I’ve felt it.’
When the vessel was broken by Kasiyar and the title of the divine throne was revoked.
It matched the sensation I felt at that time almost perfectly.
My hands are trembling incessantly.
No, it wasn’t just my hands that were trembling.
My two legs supporting me on the ground swayed shabbily like an aspen tree, and something sticky welled up from my lower abdomen.
“…….”
*Spit*, I spat it out and dead blood came out.
At that, the voice of the immortal master trembled for the first time.
[Cardium… … ?]
Crackling
“Look where.”
[Vessel of the God of War… … You… … !]
At that moment, the Immortal Master drew up the energy of darkness in response to Dohyeon’s indifferent question, which had suddenly appeared before his eyes.
The Immortal Master has no special abilities compared to other powerful beings of the Abyss.
A power as strong as the power of destruction, too.
Also, a spirit as lofty as an iron-willed strongman and outstanding dominance.
There was no fraudulent power like that of a wrathful warrior that grew stronger the angrier one became.
[Immortality]
That was the only power possessed by the Immortal Master.
Thanks to that, he was able to live for the longest time, and he possessed a special power of his own, gained by returning from the end of countless deaths.
that…….
[Forcibly retrieves a Fragment of the Abyss.]
[Swallow a fragment of the abyss to gain the power of the abyss itself.]
Constantly multiplying the abyss that has eroded the body.
No matter how powerful the beings of the abyss may be, they are ultimately living beings with souls.
If you accept an abyss that transcends your endurance limits, your mind collapses, your soul crumbles, and you are eventually absorbed into the abyss.
That is why even the mighty of the Abyss merely live within it, never using their power beyond its limits…
[I accepted the abyss beyond my limits.]
[Soul collapse begins.]
[The power of immortality prevents soul collapse.]
The immortal master was different.
Because his power was strong enough to prevent even the death of a soul.
The ominousness emanating from him was deeper and more spine-chilling than any abyss I had ever felt.
An ominous sensation, as if I would be eroded at the mere touch.
[Kuh… … Khahahaha! That’s it, this is it! As long as I have this power, you can’t defeat me… … .]
“Are you stupid?”
However, seeing such an overwhelming aura, Dohyeon merely looked down at it with a look of contempt.
Seeing even Cardium trembling helplessly, he probably pulled out his trump card without hesitation…
As a result, there was no dumber choice than this.
[The Bond of Rebellion is activated.]
[By strongly resisting fate, you are granted the power to defy a destiny where the probability of being killed by an opponent is highest.]
[You gain the power to resist the ‘Immortal Power’ of the Immortal Master, the Strongman of the Abyss.]
… … .
The chain of rebellion triggered through the Book of Defiance.
It was not only immune cells that defied fate through it.
There’s no way I’m destined to die at your hands just because of immune cells.
It is merely an additional effect resulting from the ‘counter’ to something else.
This was the real thing.
[‘Myeolyeon’ is activated.]
[Ignores Abyssal Erosion and Interference.]
[However, the effect will not activate if the difference in rank is large.]
[The difference in class is not significant.]
[Ignores the Immortal Master’s Abyss Erosion.]
[That can’t be… …!]
You said you wanted to feel death, right? Feel it to your heart’s content.
Watching the immortal master deny reality as if he could not believe it, Dohyeon slowly lowered his sword.
The sword that had reached the pinnacle of the supreme realm was not something that could be avoided.
[Performing Life-Shattering Sword – Annihilation of Myriad Creatures.]
The fourth form and secret technique of the Destruction Sword, Mansang Domyeol.
The final blow reached only now, having witnessed the pinnacle of the supreme realm that severs all phenomena and beings.
——!!
As it manifested, the world became silent for a moment, as if it had stopped.
Soon, a dark red sword energy manifested and enveloped the front, and as space twisted, it swallowed the immortal master.
In the place left after the annihilation of all things had passed, only a handful of ashes remained.
[I have defeated the mighty of the abyss, the master of immortality.]
[You have achieved an incredible achievement.]
[It will be recorded in the Book of Adventures.]
[Acquire the Mythic title ‘The One Who Killed the Immortal’.]
[The title ‘The Murderer of the Immortal’ is absorbed into the title ‘Heir of Kasiyar’.]
[Additional effects are granted, allowing you to overcome death once.]
After surpassing the previous successor and gaining recognition.
Ability obtained by unlocking all abilities of the Title Kasiyar’s Successor.
If you obtained an achievement of defeating the Abyss or a god in the form of a title, you could gain effects based on it.
With this, even the slim possibility of defeat has disappeared.
stomp- stomp.
Kadium trembled with fear as he watched Dohyeon approaching after instantly defeating the Immortal Master.
I don’t know what kind of magic was performed in the past two weeks.
No, it’s not even two weeks.
Certainly, until just a moment ago, he was nothing more than a usable successor capable of merely struggling against himself.
‘This power… … This isn’t the work of a successor.’
I know because I have faced them once.
This power is clearly… … .
‘Casyar… … is like him.’
That damn king of humans who had instilled an overwhelming sense of terror in him.
Of course, it wouldn’t be comparable to his strength.
Because from Kasiyar, even when the vessel of the god was complete, I felt a greater fear than I do now.
If the variable of the abyss had not occurred, all the gods would undoubtedly have eventually knelt before him.
That fellow is not Kasiyar. He is merely someone with similar power.
I am the one who escaped without dying even after facing Kasiyar.
Considering that all the mythical gods he encountered died, this is a tremendous achievement.
You must not be intimidated by someone who is nothing more than an imitator!
-I am… … Kadium, the God of the Apocalypse.
With such desperate determination, Kadium took a step with a foot that would not fall.
Once I made up my mind, it happened in an instant.
[Cadium casts his unique Swiftness, Celeritas.]
Even without power, his speed is such that not many, even the gods, can keep up with him.
Even though it had lost its divine throne, its speed was formidable.
That is why, when we met the other day, not even a trace of the process was visible…
I told you I could see it by now.
[Casting the Black Dragon’s third power, ‘Black Heaven Thunder Prison’.]
[Strike twelve black lightning bolts at a desired location to form a prison of black lightning.]
—Boom!
Now that I have reached the pinnacle of the supreme realm, even if only temporarily, and gained unbelievable power,
It was slow enough to make me yawn.
Phew-!
-Cough… … !
Like prey driven by a hunter.
Cardium, instantly surrounded by an area created by the Black Heaven Prison, coughed up blood as his abdomen was pierced by Dohyeon’s sword, which had approached before he knew it.
Die… …!
Cardium shows the tenacity to straighten his swaying knees and counterattack, but…
His power had long since become useless.
Rustle- plop,
Crack!
As soon as the power of the apocalypse was unleashed, it was sliced like paper, and a one-sided assault ensued.
Yes, it was an assault.
A noble war between the one who challenged the pinnacle of the mythical gods in the past but fell, and seeks to challenge again, and the man of prophecy who seeks to stop him?
There was nothing so holy here.
Pfft! Pfft-
-K-Kuh…
You have great cooking skills.
There is only a general massacre.
“That makes no sense…….”
“……You’re saying he’s overwhelming that monster like that?”
“You’re not the Kaiser from the Guild War! What on earth happened!?”
It was only natural that the users were shocked.
Damn it… what am I looking at?
Is this possible?
Damn it, it’s Kaiser again. I have to worship him.
Since everyone keeps saying they’re good, they’re seriously doing a fucking killer job;;?
He became a real god just because he was called a godwwwww
-Kaiser, he is a god! Kaiser, he is a god! Kaiser, he is a god!
I just thought I was screwed because I couldn’t see the answer, but wow;; Is this actually worth a try? Is that it? I’m actually looking forward to it? Am I going to get my head smashed in again?
No matter what you bullshit about Kaquini or whatever, in the end, you’re just going to grab onto Kaiser’s pants leg! Right, no. Right, no. Admit it or not, admit it or not!!
I, I’ll admit it; calm down.
Thumbs up;;
It was the same for those watching the broadcast, so the chat scroll went on endlessly.
– The author, who on earth… … .
Who is that monstrous man?
“and…….”
“What is this… no, huh.”
Not only the other races, but even the users simply looked up at it with awe.
Ah, the prophecy. The prophecy was right.
-Oh World Time… Is this what you were talking about?
“Kaiser, benefactor of the Dark Elves. You have grown so strong that I can no longer even reach you.”
The man of prophecy appeared!
“Ah… Thank you so, so much, Lord Kaiser. May the World Tree’s blessing be with you…”
Non-human races to whom even a little bit of the prophecy and ancient promise has been conveyed.
Among them, the reaction of Queen Aridna, Astra, and Alterion, who had received deep favor from Kaiser, was the most enthusiastic.
She sincerely praying for Dohyeon, and the two heroes watching with somewhat sentimental eyes.
At their appearance, the legion following them also paid their respects.
Chuck, chuck, chuck.
Even amidst the fierce battlefield, the sight of them all bowing their heads in reverence was truly a magnificent spectacle.
Something that warms the heart.
However, none of them stepped forward to help.
It would actually be a hindrance.
I will trust you, successor.
We will also do our best in our respective positions.
They need to be of a match in weight class to even be of help; with a gap this wide, they will just be a hindrance.
Is it because I gained hope in Kaiser?
Show me the power of the elves!!
Do not let Lord Locante’s sacrifice be in vain! Barheim and the Master of Barheim are with us!
-Waaahhhh!!!
Nymphs, let us also fight to the very end!
A completely different appearance from just moments ago, when he was half-despairing.
The hero is driving that fallen god back! Put more strength into helping!
“Yes, Your Majesty!”
“Just a little further. We only need a little. Everyone, cheer up and help the soldiers of the Empire!”
“Understood, Lord!”
Emperor Lior and Jay Ruddel.
I trusted you, descendant of a friend. Dragons of Bahargon, pour out your full power.
-Hahaha! You remind me of that man. May the blessing of Jotunheim be with you!
For Jotunheim!
“……I thought you would have surpassed it, but you’ve come back having grown unbelievably, Kaiser.”
The Dragon King, the Giant King, and even Annihilation.
Everyone was running toward the finish line without stopping, determined not to let go of the victory Kaiser had secured.
-Danjaang!!
– The captain! The captain is in danger.
Damn it, get out of the way! Get lost!
In particular, the members who usually showed unparalleled trust in the leader were beyond bewildered by this unfamiliar side of him; they appeared to be suffering from anxiety disorders.
It is a sight never even imagined, so paradoxically, it makes it even harder to cope.
Just out of impatience, I try to step forward to help somehow, but…
-Yes… … The opponent… … is me… … .
“Ugh, you’re such a slow talker, but why are you so fast at casting spells? Let go of me! I’ll be right back.”
-Th-that… can’t… be… like that…
Click, click-
Click-
For Dakan, who had already exhausted a lot of energy fighting the King of Power.
It was not easy to shake off the pain and outlaws who were intent on catching you.
It was similar for others as well.
Where are you trying to get away from, young queen?
Let go! I said let go! The commander is in danger, get out of here! Just get out of here!
You lack trust in the Captain. The only thing you can do is trample over me to climb up. Why, does that seem difficult?
-… … Aaaaaaaah!!
The opponent is none other than the Sea King, one of the masters of the throne.
Unlike the Fairy King, who became the master of the throne through his extensive knowledge and barrier magic, the opponent was someone who ruled the entire sea.
Naturally, for Levi, who had been on the losing side the whole time, it was absolutely maddening.
If he abandons his current strategy of holding out and charges in, he will be subdued; yet, if he continues to hold out, the commander finds himself in a dangerous dilemma.
No, actually, there was no room for hesitation.
If it is something I can save if I sacrifice myself…
If that had been the case, there wouldn’t have been any room for hesitation, but the reality was that no matter what I chose, I ultimately couldn’t help.
[Jihad Black casts ‘Breath of the Ancient Dragon’.]
[Volkarn Black casts ‘Dragon Roar of Gluttony’.]
—–!!!
[Jihad Black casts ‘Dragon’s Claw’.]
[Volkarn Black casts ‘Shattering of the Heart’.]
Kwaaaaang-!
“Oh, you hit hard? Let’s spar sometime.”
“-Kiruk! That’s a bit… … First, help me out quickly!”
“I’m already preparing for jihad.”
-Liza!
Volkarn Black, the most reliable force?
I didn’t have the energy to do that because I was dealing with Jihad and the Sword Saint Empress at the same time.
Rather, we are at a disadvantage, so even with help, it wouldn’t be enough.
It was absurd.
The fact that the favorable flow of the game turned into the exact opposite just because a single user intervened.
-This… … maybe… …?
I’m gonna smash my head in, huh?
-Kaiser Punch x100
Are you going? Are you actually going? Is that it?? Are you looking forward to it??
Wow, I can’t believe it turned out like this. I really thought we’d never be able to turn the tide.
Ah, I heard there is nothing God cannot do.
Go read the Gospel of Almighty Kashin 10 times.
Ah, damn;; I just died and came back, and what’s all this sudden fuss? If I’d known this would happen, I would have chosen the challenger;;
Seriously, you said the Executioner was the undisputed favorite;; And yet you gathered experts for the broadcast. This sucks, seriously.
You’re going to hold back on an underdog bet? Hahaha, then you should just die~
What the hell are you guys doing siding with the opposing side that is obviously the villain? Hahaha, serves you right! Now you guys won’t have a place to stand, will you?
You son of a bitch, you’re dead, seriously. Just wait until the access time limit is lifted. I’m gonna screw you.
-What are you talking about lol. You’re screwed now. How are you going to kill me, your rival, now that you’ve become a traitor?
– Hey hey lol stop it lol. This kid lol is going to cry lol
– Opportunist cut~ cut~ cut~
The chat room is currently in a state of chaos with all sorts of fuss.
And as if to live up to their expectations.
Flash.
—–!
-Kuaaah!
“Go now. I’ve endured it for a long time.”
Roaming the ground and sky, assaulting… … .
No, Dohyeon, who had been fighting, prepared a final blow toward Cardium, who was covered in blood and struggling desperately.
Goodbye.
It was the blow that killed the immortal master.
It was also a blow that Cardium, having lost even the strength to fight back, had no chance of enduring.
But why?
-K… …Kuh… …Khahahaha!!
Did he lose his mind facing death right before his eyes?
Cardium burst into maniacal laughter, splattering blood.
Even though his insides were so damaged that he coughed up blood every time he made a sound, the way he laughed without stopping was enough to make one feel like he was in a state of madness.
“Fine… I cannot defeat you. And now I shall meet my death. But… even so, it is my victory, O God of War.”
“……?”
Dohyeon frowned at the incomprehensible words.
However, I felt an inexplicable sense of foreboding, so I couldn’t just ignore it and swing my sword.
I feel like I need to get away from him right now.
But by the time I had that thought, it was already too late.
Sss-
To be precise, his hand was faster.
A small movement I momentarily missed because I sensed neither life nor intent to attack.
widely,
Because it was nothing more than snapping the fingers by bumping the index and thumb together.
However, what happened as a result was truly a stroke of genius that caught them off guard.
[You have discovered the seventh piece of destiny, ‘The Monarch’s Hand’.]
[I have discovered the eighth piece of destiny, ‘Noble Bond’.]
[I have discovered the ninth piece of destiny, the ‘Pillar of Equivalent Exchange’.]
… …
[I have discovered the tenth piece of destiny, the ‘Guideline of Destiny’.]
Chess piece, brooch, coin.
Pieces of different shapes tangle together and float in the air.
[All the pieces of destiny have gathered in one place.]
[The five Fragments of Destiny stored in your inventory react.]
[A single destiny is being created.]
“Damn it.”
“The objective… … is achieved, Seraphiella. I will leave the rest to you.”
As if having achieved everything he wanted even while dying.
Dohyeon tried to hurriedly back away as he watched the guy wearing a relieved smile, but it was meaningless.
[The God of Destruction, ‘Kadium’, intends to relinquish his divine throne and summon the gods.]
[The conditions are insufficient.]
[Kadium abandons life and reincarnation, and completely destroys the shattered throne.]
[The fate of sacrifice is accepted.]
[To turn the fate around, the sacrifice of someone of overwhelming stature is required.]
Because he had even given up on ascending the divine throne and was trying to summon the gods by sacrificing everything.
It was an emergency.
There was no mention of this!
Feeling wronged, he blames Gamillion and Lumisar, but it was only natural that they didn’t know either.
The very concept of a fragment of fate was first created by Kasiyar.
Naturally, there was no god who would attempt to create a third destiny by sacrificing everything to this extent.
[Warning! The main quest will fail if the Fate of Sacrifice is completed.]
‘shit……!’
At this rate, we are in a situation where we are going to lose even if we win.
However, there is no way to stop it.
Swish-!
[The God of Destruction, Kadium, has been defeated.]
[By achieving an unbelievable feat… … .]
Because even after the guy whose neck was severed by the sword he swung to the very end just in case, fate continued to be shaped.
As the air currents change and the clouds clear, a sense of oppressive pressure is felt across the entire sky.
[You cannot destroy a destiny that is already being formed.]
[The gods of Abtartel are about to descend to the present world.]
[I feel the gaze of the Goddess, Seraphiella.]
[I feel the gaze of Thor, the God of Thunder and Lightning.]
[I feel the gaze of Ares, the God of War.]
Even if you attack the fragments of fate gathered together, it does not work.
The way… …?
In the end, it was just when I squeezed my eyes shut.
-Eliza!? Where are you going! Come back, it’s dangerous!
As I opened my eyes to a familiar voice, I saw a small ball of fur jumping on Jihad and flying toward me.
“……Eliza?”
-Lizariza!
The sight of someone flying in, shouting boldly with a determined look in their eyes.
However, Eliza’s body was strange.
A strange light was imbued in every single hair, shining brilliantly, and a strange pattern was engraved on the forehead.
“Why, you……?”
-Liza… … Lizariza.
I couldn’t tell what was being said.
But I felt it.
A wet voice that feels somehow sad.
Nevertheless, from the firm tone and gaze that remained unwavering.
-Liza… … .
What choice Eliza intends to make.
No, Eliza!
Jihad, who knew Eliza better than anyone, shook off even Volkarn, whom he was fighting, and flew in while shouting urgently.
Hana Dohyeon just stared at Eliza.
It was because I had already made a choice.
[Eliza, a Guardian belonging to the Jihad, walks the path of ‘Barheim’.]
[I have chosen the path of a guardian deity protecting the land of the Beastmen.]
[Complete the Guardian Quest.]
[A person of overwhelming stature abandoned the destiny they intended to walk and chose sacrifice.]
[Reversing the fate of the sacrifice that was being formed.]
[You can forge a new destiny.]
A deep sense of bewilderment can be felt in the gaze of the gods.
That is why, instead of trying to dissuade him, Dohyeon said something else.
“……Eliza.”
-Liza.
“thank you.”
-… … Liza.
With Eliza’s final answer, smiling with her eyes crinkled cutely, now hidden by the light and invisible.
Flash-!
[The King of Divine Beasts, Barheim, descends.]
[Barheim’s blessing is manifested.]
[Forms a divine realm that walks through the darkness lingering in the surrounding area.
[Since complete Abyssalization has not occurred, purify the Abyssalized land.]
[The abyssed land vanishes, and the Eye of the Abyss closes.]
[Successfully blocked the Abyss Wave.]
[Exerting immense power, Eliza falls asleep.]
As Eliza, who had become Barheim, emitted a brilliant aura, the terrible dark energies lifted.
The contaminated land was purified, and the Eye of the Abyss closed.
[All pieces of destiny have been completed.]
[The promised destiny ‘Archerion’ is completed.]
[The God of War, ‘Kasiyar’, breaks the seal and awakens.]
[Main Quest Cleared.]
[Job Quest Cleared.]
[The Abtartel-class main quest ‘The Finale – Day of Promise’ concludes with the Challenger’s victory.]
[The history of ancient humanity is renewed, and the Five Kings of ancient humanity, who had been sealed away, awaken.]
—–!!
-iced coffee…….
This energy.
You have succeeded, successor.
The ancient King of Wu and the god of war Kasiyar, whom I previously faced solely through willpower.
As they awakened in various parts of the world where they had been asleep, the power that had been sealed with them scattered in all directions.
[The challenger wins, and changes occur in Abtartel.]
[Face the truth of true history forgotten by the gods.]
“……The truth of history?”
“Avtartel has changed? Kasiyar? Owang? What is all this?”
“What on earth is this…….”
“I don’t know what happened, but…….”
As of now, nothing could be known, but
“Gentlemen!”
Elves, and proud legions!
Great warriors of Jotunheim.
Citizens of Sargis, and all of humanity.
“Guys!!”
One thing was clear.
-Sound the victory!
“I won!!!”
We won!!
It was the moment the war came to an end.
