Episode 326. The Three Apostles (3)
The dawn gathering gathers souls.
There are many reasons for collecting souls.
To use forbidden magic.
Or for the second coming of Mother Moon.
I already knew it, but I couldn’t help but be surprised when I saw it in person.
It’s a whopping sixty-six thousand.
‘That’s sixty-six thousand at the very least.’
When Ethan came into contact with the white mass and saw what was inside, he couldn’t help but be surprised.
There was an abyss inside.
An abyss where countless souls cry out.
‘I painted magic on the soul. That’s why each of those white lumps has a self.’
With over a thousand souls mixed together, it was only natural that it would have a sense of self.
‘I give a simple order using magic. Protect the three apostles who own the white mass and destroy the enemy.’
In the end, it turned out that the white mass was a mass of souls.
And Ethan’s power of the invisible wolf had a definite effect on the soul.
Wheaaa …
As the three apostles waved their hands again, the spirits of the abyss stirred and attacked Ethan.
“huh?”
But the moment the white mass tries to accelerate.
Ethan’s ears opened wide and he held the lumps together.
“The King of Ghosts has arrived.”
When Ethan raised his hand, the rushing white masses stopped in their tracks. There were more than one or two.
All 66 white lumps stopped in place.
Then he thrust the upper part down as if he were worshipping it.
“What is this… … .”
The faces of the three apostles, who had been relaxed, stirred in the unexpected situation.
The soul of the abyss stopped. Without any command from its own.
Even when he appeared to be swearing allegiance to Ethan, out of his control, the sight made the three apostles grit their teeth.
Ethan didn’t miss this opportunity.
“Demon Slayer.”
A sword that cuts down ghosts.
Any ghost struck by this sword will be under Ethan’s control for one hour.
‘Just one.’
More than a thousand souls are bound to a single white lump.
The Demon Slayer Sword can put any demon at its feet, but what matters is whether Ethan, who uses the Demon Slayer Sword, can endure it.
Sigh!
In that moment, souls entered through the Demon Slayer Sword. There were countless stories from countless souls.
This one white lump contains the stories of a thousand souls.
Ethan saw a glimpse of that story through Demon Slayer.
Sigh!
Ethan swung his Demon Slayer sword into the air this time. The connection between the white mass and the Demon Slayer sword was severed.
‘It’s out of control. It’s not something I can handle.’
But at least I gained something.
“The dead are begging you to kill them. They are begging you to kill them.”
Shaaaaah-.
The powerful yin energy obtained through the white mass was absorbed into the body.
Ethan drew out both swords while drawing his power and releasing the negative energy he had absorbed.
Frost, lightning, and a powerful negative energy were applied to the two swords.
“What on earth are you doing… … .”
The three apostles looked surprised at something they had never experienced before.
Ethan didn’t give himself a chance and kicked the ground hard.
‘I have to kill him in one breath.’
With that in mind, Ethan unleashed the most powerful swordsmanship he possessed.
Ethan’s Sword 4th Form

Pah-ji-ji-ji-jik-!
A single yellow lightning bolt struck in a straight line. And at the end of it, a strong, yin-tinged cold air descended.
Ice froze over the ground, forming lightning-like scars.
A vivid yellow on a white world.
Ethan’s sword cut off the heads of the three apostles precisely.
‘I have a feeling in my hand!’
But at that moment.
“Sarter’s Secret Library.”
The superhuman powers possessed by the three apostles were activated.
Ethan, who had cut off his opponent’s neck, stopped with a strong kick and slowly looked back.
Ethan raised an eyebrow at the sight of the three apostles in good health.
It definitely felt like my throat was cut.
The three apostles shook their necks from side to side as if mocking Ethan.
“It was my last resort. I ended up using it. A disposable superpower? Isn’t that funny? I thought I wouldn’t need it since I also have the Abyssal Soul.”
Just as Ethan had many defenses, the three apostles also had defenses.
‘Any damage is sealed inside the storage. Instead, it is disposable.’
As far as Ethan knew, it was a very high-level superhuman ability.
‘It’s a superhuman ability that doesn’t give a good value for the effort it takes to get it. That’s why I didn’t even think about it.’
I never thought you’d have that.
“I almost died, Ethan Wickers!”
The three apostles laughed again and snapped their fingers.
“Autonomous self-release.”
Then, the 66 abyssal spirits that had been bowing down to Ethan slumped down as if they had lost their sense of self.
The power of Bihyeongrang is great. Any being with yin energy, including spirits, ghosts, goblins, demons, and evil spirits, is placed under it.
But since the autonomy that ghosts had was taken away, they could not be controlled.
‘That’s not a ghost anymore. It’s a puppet on strings.’
The power of the invisible being will not work unless the ego returns.
“I don’t know how you subdued my abyssal soul, but if they won’t listen to me, I’ll just take control of them myself! A lot of my mana is in them. If I take control of them myself, I can get all of my mana back!”
The three apostles began to laugh and spit out large amounts of mana.
A huge amount of mana.
It is said that the truth of mana restriction spread within Iveca has been distorted, allowing her to use more mana than before, but she cannot use all of her mana.
‘And yet, to that extent… … .’
Ethan took a deep breath.
‘The earthwork is over. The mud wall still has some durability left.
Ethan picked up the pace.
‘The automatic defense of the three apostles is no longer possible. They have to block all my attacks directly. That means that the three apostles, who were originally unable to keep up with my speed, are now unilaterally exposed to my attacks.’
Wheeeeeeeek-!
Ethan approached the three apostles with two forward strikes and swung both swords sideways, looking like a lion swinging its claws.
Phage, phage, phage!
“You already know, right? The Abyssal Soul is connected to my body. If the Abyssal Soul is hit, I will be hit too. It’s high risk, high return. But there’s one big advantage. You can change positions.”
Shaaaaah-.
The three apostles were busy muttering instead of avoiding the attacks coming their way.
Ethan stopped his attack just before he reached his opponent.
Although the pressure was severe as he was forced to stop, he ignored it and took a big step back.
“Lucas!”
Ethan shouted loudly and summoned Lucas.
The summoned Lucas cried out and quickly transferred mana to Ethan.
But the three apostles were faster than that.
“You’re so quick-witted. But it’s too late. I’ve finished explaining. This ability has a condition that the other person must listen to the explanation. However, the more stringent the condition, the better the effect.”
Ethan took another big step back, but the soul of the abyss was already there.
“Switch.”
The three apostles who had approached Ethan from behind in an instant whispered.
“Tear it apart.”
A gust of wind poured from her hands.
“Your defensive abilities seem to be specialized for blocking large-scale attacks.”
Like Ethan, the Third Apostle also had the ability to perceive.
“A thousand watching eyes told me.”
A thousand staring eyes, and that gust of wind attack just now was one of the powerful superpowers possessed by the three apostles.
The soul of the abyss created by killing countless people.
And various super powers.
The strength of the three apostles was extraordinary.
Ethan cursed inwardly as he mentally counted his dwindling defenses.
-The mud wall has lost its durability and has broken down.
-Moonlight Defense!
-There is 1 turn left.
“Huh, this is a bit much. What the heck? Why isn’t there any damage?”
He used all his might.
The more I tried to hide what I had, the better. They even attacked me by pulling out all my superhuman abilities.
Ethan’s defense was so tight.
Of course, Ethan was also taken aback by the sudden attack.
‘It’s too difficult to deal with.’
Three defense mechanisms have already disappeared.
There was still one Moonlight Defense left, and the Moonforce armor still remained, but there was no more room to spare.
‘The three apostles may have more hidden abilities.’
Compared to Ethan, who was hiding his bewildered feelings, the three apostles looked quite nervous.
“Fuck.”
Ethan continued to neutralize the Three Apostles’ attacks and was perfect at controlling his facial expressions, which made the Three Apostles feel embarrassed again and again.
More than anything, Ethan’s gaze was fierce.
However, the three apostles thought that Ethan would not be able to freely use the same swordsmanship as before.
The fight so far has clearly consumed a lot of mana.
Besides, Ethan Wickus has an extinction disorder. Unless he completely overcomes that extinction disorder, Ethan’s body won’t be in the best condition.
“Let’s see how long we can do that!”
Ugh-.
The three apostles gnashed their teeth and began to seriously control the 66 souls of the abyss.
Wheaaa …
White chunks shot out at Ethan. Some were nets, some were giant axes, and some were hammers.
66 abyssal spirits, transformed into various forms, moved simultaneously.
Although the reaction was slower than when it was autonomous, since the three apostles were moving directly, it could be transformed into various forms and used.
Kyaang-!
Ethan first dodged the encroaching net.
It seemed like it wouldn’t be easy to cut down since it was coming in a net-like shape. Perhaps it had a technique that absorbed mana the moment it touched or reduced its power by half.
‘But the rest of the weapons can be broken.’
Bam-!
‘It’s lighter than before.’
The taste that came through when breaking it was different. It seemed like it wasn’t just the ego that had disappeared.
But as it broke, the fragments came together and soon formed a white mass.
‘Is the resilience still the same?’
Ethan frowned as he looked at the three apostles.
In the end, is there no choice but to process the main body quickly?
However, the three apostles already knew that they could not stop Ethan’s attack, so they kept ten souls of the abyss waiting by their side.
It was an admission that he couldn’t keep up with Ethan’s speed.
‘But it can’t be like that forever. I’ll definitely use the reverse technique.’
Ethan stomped his feet lightly.
‘Save the fourth form for the most crucial moment.’
Since I had Lucas and the absorbed sound, I could have used it three more times.
Fortunately, except for type 4, I was able to use types 1 through 3 without any problems.
Ethan continued to smash the white mass.
Wedge-!
“… … .”
But it still couldn’t cope with the instantaneous acceleration.
‘Instant acceleration cannot be used continuously. The timing has already been set. Once every 35 seconds.’
Moreover, instantaneous acceleration was possible only for one of the 66 white masses.
Ethan pretended to be relaxed and completely ignored the attack caused by the instantaneous acceleration. His defensive skills were still holding up.
-Moonlight Defense!
-Moonlight falls asleep with all its might.
Ethan approached the Three Apostles again, offering up his last moonlight defense.
“Your capital, this isn’t everything, is it?”
Shaaaaah-!
