Episode 263. Raid (2)
Radon’s corpse, torn in half, was seen.
It was a horrible sight, with the upper and lower bodies completely separated, but strangely, no blood came out.
Moreover, not a single element, such as internal organs, that should have been visible was visible.
Is it because it is an imaginary world and not reality? Since it is not an actual physical body, it looks subtly different.
It was as if the cruel parts had been painted black in some way.
However, no matter how censored it is, it doesn’t change the fact that from their perspective, it’s a situation where they have to turn a blind eye.
“radon…?”
Jenny muttered softly, her eyes trembling.
My one and only friend, my most precious person, was lying there, torn in half.
There was no blood shed, but I could tell just by looking at the shape.
What happens if you die in this imaginary world?
“Are you lying?”
Ruska’s eyes also immediately became bloodshot and her murderous intent grew stronger.
Like Jenny, Radon was inseparable to Ruska.
For example, not only the two of them, but also Mary and Nevia felt the same way.
“Seniors…. What happens if you die in this world?”
Nebia asked with a trembling voice, but even they did not know the answer to that.
The concept of the imaginary world is an element that even existing academic disciplines have not been able to grasp.
No one yet knows how it works or what happens inside.
At present, they are like stepping into unexplored territory.
That’s why the crisis instinct was automatically sounding the alarm.
-I’ll answer that.
Then the black being spoke in response to Nebia’s question.
The being who called himself the God of Destruction opened his mouth as he lifted Radon’s corpse.
-Die.
It was a very simple answer.
– In fact, you would have instinctively expected it, right? The soul is the only thing standing in this world. If that soul is destroyed in this way, is there really any need to tell the road?
Yes, Radon is dead.
The soul hasn’t been stolen by the God of Destruction yet, but that’s it.
The expressions of the four girls darkened at that terrible answer. Their faces became expressionless.
-Did you not hear what I said?
The God of Destruction, Endless, raised the corners of his lips.
And said, Radon Crowler… .
-He died.
Endless was still laughing as if mocking his death.
Although there was pleasure in seeing the other person’s suffering, it was a smile that was intrigued by Jenny Chainsilver’s movements that suddenly closed the distance.
Pfft!-
Jenny, who had disappeared in an instant, had already reached Endless, holding a blue sword.
And then the blue sword was swung, creating a heavy, cracking sound.
She aimed straight for her opponent’s neck. Jenny, who had witnessed her friend’s death with her own eyes, had no limits to her power.
But something was strange. Instead of being cut by that kind of sword strike, why did it make a noise like hitting iron?
-It’s a heavier blow than I expected.
Endless’ neck could not be cut. His neck was solid, as if he had literally hit metal.
Endless praised Jenny for her unexpected skills.
and….
-You’re quite agile.
At that moment, Endless turned his head backwards and smiled.
Because I felt a murderous aura there that could make the world cold.
Ruska, holding a double-edged sword, moved backwards, and the blade, filled with the world’s most terrifying murderous intent, swung down diagonally.
Kwaaang!-
The ground splits and dust rises from the incredible destructive power.
The range extended beyond the white horizon, so much so that it was impossible to tell how far it split.
But Endless was not visible at the point of impact.
Although his vision was obscured by the dust, Ruska suddenly transformed his double-edged sword into a bow and fired an arrow at an unexpected location.
Because the smell of the god of destruction wafted from there.
Choaak!-
An arrow in the shape of a wolf rushed forward, surrounded by an eerie aura.
It was not the usual hunting beast, but a monster wolf that had lost its child and was consumed with grief and hatred.
As the arrow cut through the dust with the air, the hidden form of the God of Destruction was revealed.
Approaching the Endless’s cradle at several times the speed of sound.
But it stopped in the middle.
-A weapon that can be used in conjunction with a bow and a sword. Humans seem to have developed quite a bit.
Endless, who had tasted the technique, caught the arrow while leaving a small comment.
The moment it was caught in his black hand, the aura that had been reminiscent of a beast disappeared without a trace.
-By the way, how do you guys get your weapons out?
Endless had one question.
The blue sword and double-edged sword were automatically summoned into Jenny and Ruska’s hands. 300 years ago, humans did not have such abilities.
The main weapon was always carried around. It wasn’t something you could summon whenever you wanted.
Besides, this is an imaginary world. It is impossible to bring in real objects.
-I’m quite curious. I have no choice but to see for myself.
“…?”
At some point, Jenny’s hands became empty.
And then he realized too late that the blue sword he was holding was in Endless’s hand.
-Hmm… . So that’s what happened. This is a sword that has become one with your bodies. Does that mean… that your souls have also been connected?
Humans have evolved compared to the past. They can freely summon important magical tools without fear of losing them by absorbing them into themselves.
So, just a little while ago, I thought that the fishing rod that Radon Crawler had been swinging was similar.
-Somehow, it felt like a weapon suddenly popped out.
“Is that the end of your appreciation?”
Pushuuuk!-
At that moment, a large beam of light pierced through Endless’s body.
Endless dropped the sword he was holding in his hand due to the recoil from something passing through like an arrow.
The ones who fired that arrow of light were Mary and Nevia. With their combined energy, they were barely able to pierce through the guy’s body.
Jirigiririk!-
Then, in an instant, an ice rink appeared.
Jenny used the power of the frozen floor to accelerate.
She quickly grabbed the sword and drew out the maximum amount of strength she could muster.
[100%]
An absolute power that can be said to be the end of the Silver Age.
Ruska also did not give in and used ‘Shinsuhwa’ to bring out the strongest power.
-That’s amazing.
A smile naturally escaped Endless’s lips as he admired the overwhelming power.
In response, he transformed his arm into a blade and tried to counterattack.
That was when.
-…!?
Suddenly, a shadow materialized from the floor and bound Endless’ limbs.
It was Mary’s magic that outputted the magic called ‘Shadow Binding’ close to the highest level of magic.
Endless was able to cut it off like a thread, but suddenly his body became dull.
Ting~ tiring-
Suddenly a sacred melody rang out, and it was imbued with the power of the Holy Spirit that paralyzed Endless’s body.
Before he knew it, the lute in Nebia’s hands was making beautiful sounds.
But what it meant was not the blessing of the saint, but a curse and hatred to tear the enemy to pieces.
-This is really… .
A storm of cold blue sword strikes and sharp double-edged sword strikes came crashing down.
The number of times it was swung per second was so countless that countless diagonal lines were created in space.
Hundreds and thousands of blue and red trajectories were created.
The afterimages of the swords intertwining and crossing each other looked like a dense constellation.
In just that short time, the entire world was covered in constellations, and the violent devastation extended for kilometers away.
-You’re still so young, you can’t believe this is happening.
“…?”
“…!”
They were greatly surprised when they still heard the Destroyer’s admiring voice.
Even after unleashing this many blows, is it still not enough?
Is it really impossible for them to defeat the God of Destruction with their own strength?
However, there was something they did not know as they were consumed by anger.
-Of all the boys and girls I’ve seen so far, you are the strongest.
Jenny and Ruska were unknowingly exerting power beyond their limits. It was a power that even surpassed the board of directors of Alighieri.
If Radon found out, he would be shocked. In the original story, they weren’t this strong.
There are often people whose abilities increase exponentially due to emotional turmoil.
But they were the best among such people.
Power gained by trading the life of a precious lover.
-but….
Push!-
The storm-like attack suddenly stopped. This was because black thorns were embedded in the arms and legs of those who had been swinging their swords.
For example, it was embedded in the bodies of not only Jenny and Ruska, but also Mary and Nevia who were supporting them from behind.
-Let’s put the fun aside for now.
Where the sword had been swinging, a slime-like black liquid was floating. Black thorns shot out from within the liquid that was floating like a giant water droplet.
A rain of thorns shooting in all directions, regardless of up, down, left, or right.
Jenny and Ruska quickly swung their swords to deflect the thorns, while Angela and Naevia gathered all their magical power to form a defensive barrier to block the thorns.
The power was power, but the speed was also speed.
“Ugh!”
Each one boasted a speed that was difficult to follow with the eyes. The two who were blocking with their swords missed some of the thorns and were pierced through the thighs and abdomen.
And the mighty wall that Mary and Nevia had built began to crack slowly.
A barrier where the power of Mary’s Demon King and the power of Nevia’s Saintess are fully expressed.
Finally, with a loud noise, the thorns shattered like glass and fell upon them.
“”Kuaaaah!!””
“”Gyaaaahh …
Screams are heard simultaneously.
All four of them had thorns embedded in their entire bodies.
Even though it was clearly an imaginary world, I was struck by the level of pain I felt in reality.
Arms and legs, stomach and shoulders. Even without blood flowing, I could feel the penetrating power.
-huh?
But they got up again.
I raised my legs even though I felt pain all over my body as if it were a honeycomb.
I can still see it. The shape of the radon torn in half.
Even this alone would be accompanied by tremendous pain, so what would radon be like?
For him… I am fully prepared to give up my life.
At that sight, the God of Destruction smiled again and returned to human form.
-Hahahaha! Was that boy really that good?
“shut up…!”
-But I guess we can’t date anymore since things have become like this.
“Shut up!!”
Phew!-
Suddenly, Jenny’s scream was cut off midway.
Because Endless’ fist, which had its arm stretched out, blew Jenny away.
“Cough!”
Not only did I feel holes in my limbs and abdomen, I also felt pain as if my bones were breaking.
It was a miracle that he was even able to move at the moment.
The God of Destruction approached her and spoke.
-Anyway, meeting that boy would be pointless. He’s just a life summoned as a consumable.
“what…?”
-Radon Crowler, no… his real name is Choi Soo-hyun. His life is just a meaningless and miserable fate.
What on earth is that guy talking about?
It didn’t sound like he was slacking off after killing Radon.
Their curiosity was piqued, and their pupils began to tremble.
“Choi Soo-hyun…?”
Who the hell is that?
Endless answered that question.
-You are just playing into that boy’s palm.
Endless’s explanation continued. In fact, the entity inside the Radon Crawler was not Radon.
And that Choi Soo-hyun, who knew everything, distorted the original history as he wished.
The reason is simply for self-satisfaction.
Not for their sake, just for his own comfort.
-Choi Soo-hyun, did you really think he would treat you with care? You’ve been fooled so well so far.
Choi Soo-hyun understood both their personalities and psychology.
Choi Soo-hyun, who had directly controlled them, could not have been unaware of them.
So, he must have known very well how to deceive.
-Your strength was commendable just now, but… you are truly a bunch of stupid women.
It’s all a conman’s scheme.
You are stupid people who got fooled by that conman.
Even when they heard about Radon’s true identity, they couldn’t raise their heads as if something strange had happened.
Somehow, it felt like they were helping themselves for no reason.
They fell for that unreasonable kindness.
-Since I’m going to die anyway… shouldn’t I know what I need to know?
“….”
Endless slowly approached Jenny. Its tentacle-like black arms transformed into blades.
-So, just dream at night.
The black blade was swung.
Morning never comes.
It will be buried forever in the darkness of night.
Kaang!-
But the blue sword blocked the black blade.
Jenny stood up again, blocking it by raising her trembling legs.
-how…?
“Radon’s real name is Choi Soo-young. She’s wearing a swimsuit…. Radon deceived us…. It’s so noisy.”
-what?
Jenny definitely heard the truth.
She got up on her feet again, even though the other girls were the same.
“So we should blame radon?
-…!
“Where did you get that nonsense!!”
Support support support!-
Ice thorns rose from the ground and pierced Endless’s body.
Even if Radon was an anomaly who knew everything, the fact that he was a precious person still remained.
Without him, they wouldn’t even be able to breathe.
And he would not have had a human heart.
“Don’t distort it as you please! No matter how much you say it’s an anomaly or a microorganism…, I love radon.”
-What a real human being!
“Ugh…!!”
Endless’ long arms stretched out like tentacles, squeezing Jenny’s neck.
He lifts it up in that state and smiles evilly.
-You have quite a strong will… but if you die, it’s all in vain!
“Keeek…!!”
Dying. Is this how it ends?
What can we do for him, after all the help he has given us?
I didn’t want it to end miserably like this.
yet….
Swish-
That was when Endless’s body was split in half.
Jenny, who was released because of this, had doubts, and so did Endless.
However, Jenny soon began to doubt her eyes. It was a long, elongated fishing rod that had split the guy’s body apart.
“Thank you guys so much.”
As soon as a familiar fishing rod came into view… a familiar voice was heard.
“Thanks to you, I was able to come back to life before it was too late.”
There stood a boy, who must have been cut in half, holding a fishing rod.
Always with a smile that could catch people’s attention.
