Episode 295.
[Kwaa─ah Chik!]
The large screen shook violently and made loud noise.
No, it was more accurate to say that the space itself beyond the image was shaken.
Finally, the camera’s focus was corrected.
The demon’s appearance was no longer visible on the corrected screen.
All I could see was something that seemed to be a demon.
All that was visible was an unidentifiable monstrosity.
Its appearance was hideous, but it gave off no sense of power.
This too was nothing more than seeing beyond the video.
But people, Maverick, could tell.
And what this means is one thing.
Siwoo won.
Waaaa …
Once again, loud cheers and shouts erupted throughout the conference room.
Maverick also shouted, adding strength to the cheers and shouts.
The three demons eventually fell at the hands of Siwoo.
With this, the resurrection ritual was also not completed.
The demon that engulfed Myanmar cannot be resurrected.
With this, Myanmar will regain peace.
Everything, is over.
“This is it! This is it!”
“Maeng Si-woo! Maeng Si-woo!”
The people in the conference room shouted Siwoo’s name loudly.
Maverick also wanted to join the ranks, but held back.
Don’t you have any dignity as the Secretary General?
Maverick closed his eyes.
Still, the emotions boiling inside my chest did not subside.
I got goosebumps all over my body.
How long has it been since I felt such intense emotion?
When was the last time my heart fluttered like this?
Since I took office as Secretary-General of the United Nations, nothing has been more exciting than this.
Maverick couldn’t contain his overwhelming emotions.
Maverick bit his lip to suppress his emotions.
Yet, it is an emotion that is not easily suppressed.
It was just then.
“…uh?”
A voice like that was heard from somewhere.
And it was not a voice that came from joy and delight.
It was even less a matter of feelings like relief and awe.
Embarrassment, confusion, surprise.
It pierced through the conference room, which was filled with loud cheers and shouts, and reached Maverick’s ears straight away.
Maverick slowly opened his closed eyes.
Wow─!
At the same time, a loud noise rang out.
Video on a big screen.
It was a sound heard during the live streaming of the Seongnam channel.
The cheers and shouts suddenly stopped.
Those who had been jumping up from their seats stopped moving.
Those who had been hugging each other also froze.
If time stopped, would it be like this?
Everyone’s bodies, frozen stiff, were facing one direction.
Live streaming on the Seongnam Channel.
Everyone’s eyes were focused on the image on the screen.
Beyond the video, Siwoo was confronting someone.
And someone who is confronting Siwoo.
A black cloak with a hood turned over.
A masked face with a slew of vicious teeth.
A being wearing a white devil mask.
I couldn’t figure out what it was.
But that was why I was able to find out its true identity.
There was no way anyone at the UN wouldn’t know.
Because that entity was the one the UN was pursuing with the highest priority.
The greatest and worst feat of mankind.
“Red shadow… .”
The ruler of Pandemonium, the Red Shadow.
Beyond the image, a red shadow was blocking Siwoo’s path.
* * *
[That’s it.]
The will to dig into the brain.
At the same time, a crimson magical power rushed towards Siwoo.
A force that moves with clear murderous intent and malice.
It was on a whole different level from any power I had ever experienced before.
This is unavoidable.
Siwoo quickly made a decision and twisted his body.
At the same time, he threw his fist.
Wow─!
A crimson magical force exploded right in front of my nose.
The crimson magic that collided with Siwoo’s fist grew in strength.
He still suppressed Shi-woo with his strong power.
Damn.
For a moment, a small crack appeared on the Orichalcon gauntlet.
And it started spreading out like a spider web.
‘Orihalcon Gauntlet… .’
It was the moment when Siwoo opened his eyes wide in surprise.
Saaaaaaa─!
A heap of ash swirled before my eyes.
Soon the ashes disappeared and a single entity was revealed.
He was so named because wherever he passed, even his shadow turned red with blood.
“Red shadow… .”
Siwoo could tell the identity right away.
The red shadow looked at Siwoo quietly.
A pure white devil’s mask.
The expression beyond that was not visible to the naked eye.
But Siwoo could instinctively know.
[… Amazing.]
The red shadow was surprised.
[Have you surpassed the limit?]
The will of the red shadow was heard.
[I haven’t seen a human transcend their limits since that guy.]
The red shadow’s two eyes flashed and one hand was spread out to the side.
Kwaaaa …
Red magic power condensed into an outstretched hand.
The two red shadowy eyes visible beyond the mask became even redder.
The force that suppressed Siwoo grew stronger, and it was sharp enough to tear anything apart.
Crunch!
Siwoo gathered his strength to counter him.
[… … !!]
Red Shadow’s surprise grew.
But that was only for a moment.
[It’s quite unpleasant.]
Jjeong─!
The clash between attacks shook the space.
A vibration that felt like the world was falling apart spreads out in all directions.
[Hasn’t the limit been completely overcome yet?]
The will of the red shadow is heard once again.
[Or perhaps you haven’t given up on being human yet.]
The magic of the red shadow is seething.
[Either way, it’s quite unpleasant. It’s similar to that guy in many ways.]
Kiiiiiing─!
An enormous amount of magical power was condensed at the center of the red shadow.
The eyes of the red shadow, which had released its full power, flashed red.
A flash of crimson madness and a red shadow leapt into action.
Wedge!
The red shadow’s movements were monotonous.
It was neither fast nor slow.
That’s why there was no sign of any extraneous elements.
Moderate movement driven by purpose and necessity.
A controlled strike that tracks only the target.
A perfect match without even an inch of misalignment.
This wasn’t the kind of thing that could be easily handled.
Papak, pababak!
A series of flawless attacks followed.
One by one, life-ending blows poured down like a shower.
…strong.
Incomparable to the demons of sin that came before.
There was no comparison to the disaster in Seoul.
Siwoo had experience fighting the red shadow.
That’s why I knew.
I knew for sure that Red Shadow was a very powerful being.
But it wasn’t to this extent.
Boom, boom!
Attacks continue without pause.
Siwoo was also desperate to block these attacks.
I never thought there would be this much of a gap.
Of course, during the disaster in Seoul, Si-woo was helpless.
But it wasn’t the current Siwoo.
Siwoo during the disaster in Seoul and Siwoo now.
Because there was a huge gap between the levels of the two.
First, Siwoo realized his own power.
You can also increase your proficiency a lot.
Although imperfect, a complete transformation has also been achieved.
Let me be honest.
I thought I could win.
It was quite disconcerting when a red shadow suddenly appeared.
But that was it.
Because I thought I could defeat the Red Shadow just like I had defeated the previous demons of sin.
Now that I have realized my new strength.
Siwoo thought he could sufficiently overpower the red shadow.
But now.
“Ugh…!”
I couldn’t overpower it.
Rather than being overwhelmed, Siwoo was being pushed back little by little.
Did the red shadow also grow in the meantime?
Or maybe it was like this from the beginning.
The ruler of Pandemonium, the Red Shadow.
Siwoo was able to realize anew why he was called the ruler of Pandemonium.
Ppeuuung─!
Siwoo’s body, unable to withstand the force, was shot backwards.
Clang!
The Orichalcon gauntlet, unable to withstand the force, shattered into pieces.
Bam!
Siwoo’s body, which had been shot, was roughly slammed into the wall.
clattering!
Debris from the impact covered Si-woo’s body as he was struck.
Siwoo got up, pushing himself through the rubble.
[Humans can never surpass God.]
At the same time, the will of the red shadow is heard.
[As long as you desire to be human, you cannot surpass God.]
The red shadow only spoke.
After a while, the red shadow slowly turned its gaze.
And then he said.
[Your plan completely failed.]
I wonder if he’s talking to Siwoo.
It didn’t seem like that.
Because Siwoo didn’t have anything that could be called a plan.
Then who are you talking to?
The red shadow simply spoke.
[So now, I will act as I please.]
The red shadow moved its body slowly.
The place where the movement finally stopped was in front of something moving.
He was once a stingy raccoon.
It was also once greed.
But now, it is nothing more than a disgusting monstrosity.
The red shadow picked up the monster.
Then he stopped.
The red shadow stared blankly at the monster in his hand.
What are you doing?
That question only lasts for a moment.
[well.]
The red shadow chanted again.
Who am I talking to this time?
As expected, it wasn’t something he said to Siwoo.
So, it was also an unknown question.
[Let’s think about killing that being.]
And that was it.
Saaaa …
A truly enormous wave of power burst out around the red shadow.
The swirling force centered around the red shadow pulled everything around it towards it.
Sik (食), who was an honest cow.
The color of a cheap rabbit.
The two sins that had turned into monsters were sucked into the red shadow.
With that, I felt a power from the red shadow that I had never felt before.
No, it’s not.
Siwoo shook his head.
This power was by no means something I had felt for the first time.
Although the form was different, it was clearly a power that Siwoo knew.
This was the power of greed.
At the same time, it was the power of food and the power of color.
It was a power that was a mixture of the sins that Siwoo had been dealing with just a moment ago.
Kwaaaa …
A huge swirling force gathered towards the red shadow.
As the power gathered, the presence of the red shadow grew stronger.
It seemed like it was absorbing power.
The red shadow was absorbing the power of the three sins.
I don’t know how that is possible.
I don’t even know how the red shadow got here.
Everything was questionable.
But one thing was certain.
‘We have to stop it.’
Had to stop it.
The red shadow had to be prevented from absorbing the power of sin.
The magic of the red shadow grows stronger and stronger.
It was a red shadow at a level that was still unbearable.
If I were to absorb the full power of sin here, I would be helpless.
It must be stopped.
We must stop it at all costs.
It was at that very moment that Siwoo was about to shoot his body towards the red shadow.
Daughter.
From somewhere, the clear sound of bells was heard.
At the same time, saaaaah… .
The sound of a gust of wind enveloped the sound of the bells.
And then a mysterious old woman appeared.
“Dow Shin Sayama…?”
Dow Shin Sayama.
She, who had been missing for a while and had not been seen, was standing in front of Si-woo.
And why on earth is that?
The two eyes of Dau Shin Sayama looking at Shiu.
“I hate you guys so much.”
It was quite different from the Dow Shin Sayama that Shiwoo remembered.
