Chapter 453
dark.
Like the night sky without the moon and stars.
everything in the world is dark
‘Am I alive?’
There is no light at all, so I can’t even see my body.
Even though I brought the palm in front of my eyes, I couldn’t even see the silhouette of the palm.
‘Did I really move my hand?’
Perhaps because of that, all my senses began to question.
Is it just a visual problem? Or is it a problem with the whole body?
not easily distinguishable.
See nothing, hear nothing, feel nothing.
I’m holding on for three days in such a world.
It was inevitable to question my very existence.
‘When will this darkness end?’
Even holding on for three days is just the feeling of time I measured at will.
In the past, when training with Elena-sama, I had the experience of blocking all of my senses.
Based on the experience at that time, I just inferred the approximate passage of time.
I don’t know how much time has actually passed.
It could have been a day, it could have been a week, it could have been a month.
‘I hope it doesn’t take a week outside time.’
it’s my little wish
I hope the time inside and the time outside flow differently.
A year passed inside, 10 years passed, I hope not a week passed outside.
‘It started again.’
I’m chewing on such a small wind.
My body started to heat up.
It does not mean that the temperature has risen.
Literally, the body is getting hot.
As if someone had poured oil on my body and set fire to it.
It felt like that.
‘… … It’s hot.’
Is this how it feels for a person who is burned alive to die?
It was a terrible pain indeed.
‘still. It’s tolerable.’
But I didn’t hate the pain.
It is true that it hurts so much that it makes you dizzy.
However, this pain is proof that I am alive.
Even though it hurts physically, it is relieved mentally.
Had it not been for this excruciating pain, I would have gone mad a long time ago.
‘Something. It seems that the heat has weakened.’
and another one.
Is it because I got used to it, or did the heat really weaken?
It hurts less than before.
If it’s this much pain, I can endure it.
“Once the stabilization is over, you can hear my voice.”
Then, a voice was heard.
“Hold on a little longer. It will be over soon.”
It was Master’s voice.
“Be glad.”
Something proud. seeming happy
It was that kind of voice.
“Next time you open your eyes, you… … .”
At that time, the clear mind began to blur at once.
Like taking sleeping pills.
Like an anesthetic.
In an instant, the mind goes blank.
“… … became… … will be.”
Over the hazy mind, Master’s voice was heard.
“really… … happy… … .”
I couldn’t hear Master’s words 100%.
Hearing seems to be fading along with the fading mind. seldom heard
‘He’s happy.’
However, even if I couldn’t hear everything, it wasn’t too difficult to feel Master’s feelings.
Master’s voice was full of joy.
“request. please… … .”
please.
After saying that, I lost my mind.

Inside the barrier opened by the Dark Mage King.
The Dark Mage King was in the midst of a fierce battle of the End Gods.
“… … Cockroaches must be less tough than you.”
He clicked his tongue with an expression that he was fed up with the end god.
“How long are you going to hold out like that?”
Since the battle began, three days have already passed.
“Give up now. You no longer have a chance to win. You and I are born with different ranks.”
Until the second day, a fairly even battle continued.
The God of the End, who was not in perfect condition, and the King of Black Mage, who was in the best condition.
The powers of the two were somewhat parallel.
“You are weak, and I am strong. All you can do now is kill time.”
However, from the point of entry into the third day, the charter began to decline rapidly.
Due to the long battle, the condition of the King of Dark Mage began to suffer, and the charter situation began to turn sharply unfavorable.
“As a human. To resent the fate of you who were born as cattle.”
Even the condition of the end god continues to improve.
Completely adapting to the body of the veil, which was awkward, and his strength stabilized.
The tide has already taken a big turn.
Victory no longer exists for the Dark Mage King.
“… … .”
As if he had no strength to reply, the Dark Mage King lowered his head and exhaled a rough breath.
“This is my last mercy to you. get down on your knees If you kneel and bow your head, I will grant you a comfortable death as my last mercy.”
The three-day battle was enough to change the mind of the end god.
“or not. It would be nice to be my apostle.”
The 3-day battle was enough time for the end god to acknowledge the Dark Mage King.
This man is different from the livestock of the world.
Despite being born with the destiny of livestock, he has reached the realm of gods.
This man deserves to be kept alive.
“Think carefully. It’s the first time I’ve ever acknowledged someone.”
The god of the end did not even acknowledge the human spirit.
Human bodies were just inevitable beings born with powers that matched their innate divine powers.
“I am truly moved by you. You broke the common sense of this world. You are somewhat like me.”
But this man is different.
He broke the fate he was born with and the fate of livestock, and rose to the top.
He shattered the laws of this world, hated by the god of the end, and established a new law.
This man is like himself.
“You are the heretic of this world. He is an apostle of the end like me.”
break the rules
And make your own rules.
This is the same as the end that the end god seeks.
Denying this man is like denying yourself.
“So leave it there.”
The voice of the end god was very kind.
“You and I don’t have to fight.”
The End God slowly approached the Dark Mage King.
Approach it, and hold out your right hand as it is.
“I propose again. Be my apostle.”
The Dark Mage King slowly raised his head and looked at the hand of the End God.
Like a burnt out candle, I blankly stare at the hand of the end god with unfocused eyes.
“… … Not a bad suggestion.”
The Dark Mage King laughed lightly.
I wanted to laugh out loud, but unfortunately I didn’t have the strength left to raise the corner of my mouth.
“If you become one of the four apostles, you will be able to reign as the second-in-command forever in the world you created.”
It’s such a sweet offer.
“That’s not all. If you become my apostle, you will cast off the fate of livestock. You can become a true god. Not the half darkness you deal with now. You will be able to deal with the real darkness.”
“Hoo. It’s not like myth magic, it’s real mythology… … .”
The Dark Mage King laughed lightly.
It was a very pleasant expression.
“It’s even more tempting. There is absolutely no reason to refuse.”
The corner of the god of the end’s mouth rose slightly.
The words that seem to accept the offer made me laugh out loud.
“then… … .”
Just like that, it was time for the God of the End to speak out about becoming his own apostle again.
“If I had proposed two months earlier, I would have held hands right away.”
The Dark Mage King chuckled and said.
It seems like something has been shaken off.
It was a smile that felt oddly refreshing.
“Sorry, but I will decline your offer.”
The brow of the god of the end furrowed.
“Why?”
The Dark Mage King replied with a subtle smile.
“This is because I am not the Dark Mage King, but Cain Beneche.”
The Doomsday God frowned.
It looked like he had no idea what he was talking about.
“You won’t understand.”
The Dark Mage King raised his head and looked up at the sky.
The dark barrier opened by the Dark Mage King fills the sky.
“Can a person born as a king from the beginning know the feelings of a person born as a slave?”
A lofty, lonely, and free black. That darkness resembled the current Dark Mage King.
“I am me. I am no longer anyone’s slave.”
The Dark Mage King’s dream is to stand at the top of this world as magic.
“Because I have already felt how sweet freedom is, and how sweet a life just for me is.”
The freedom I tasted after a long wait was terribly sweet.
As long as I tasted this sweetness, I could no longer go under someone else’s hand.
Now I hate being someone’s slave.
“… … I hate having someone standing on top of you. Are you saying you’re going to decline my offer just for that reason?”
“okay.”
The God of the End looked at the Dark Mage King with a cold gaze.
“… … What a disappointment.”
The Dark Mage King laughed lightly.
“I understand. I am disappointed in myself too.”
Even the Dark Mage King himself could not understand his feelings 100%.
No matter how precious freedom is, it is not more precious than life.
If he had been the Dark Mage King before, he would have accepted the offer of the God of the End unconditionally.
“Anyway. It seems to have been influenced by the light.”
The Dark Mage King closed his eyes and remembered the past.
“This is all because of you. Sein Binoche.”
Recalling the past, I talked to Sein Binoche, who was now asleep.
“Because you shine so brightly. Even me was stained.”
Feeling the two innocent souls sleeping next to his soul, he smiled bitterly.
“How are you going to take this responsibility? Your light has made a fool of me.”
The Dark Mage King moved his right hand.
slowly, very slowly.
He brought his trembling hand to his chest.
“… … still. Not a bad feeling. Not a bad ending.”
Beyond the cold hands, I feel the heat.
The heat emitted by the two souls sleeping inside warms the palms pleasantly.
“It was a lot of fun. Saint Binoche. Sofia Annechefrey.”
I enjoyed being free.
I fought to my heart’s content with the man called God.
He knew that his power reached even God.
It was a satisfying ending.
“This is my last gift to you.”
The heat from the two souls passing through the palms began to fade little by little.
Two souls began to leave the body.
“Do you think I’ll be watching?”
At that time, the Apocalypse God moved.
He noticed what the Dark Mage King was trying to do and moved to stop it.
“I will have no choice but to watch.”
The Dark Mage King smiled lightly at the end of the world.
“It was a day for that.”
At that time, darkness raged around the Dark Mage King.
And just like that, he tied up the end god.
“This… … .”
It was a powerful magic that could not be easily destroyed even as a god of the end.
“Stay like that for a while.”
For this time, it is a magic prepared over the course of a day.
Even an apocalypse god would need a minute to solve it.
The Dark Mage King took his eyes off the end god and concentrated on what he was doing.
“someday. The day our destinies overlap. See you again.”
Sein and Sophia’s souls were completely separated from their bodies.
The two spiritual bodies left the body of the Dark Mage King and began to move outward.
“yet again. black and white. And with sword and magic.”
In this way, the two spiritual bodies pierced the dark curtain opened by the Dark Mage King and disappeared outside.
“Next time, I will stain both of you with my malice.”
The Dark Mage King laughed.
As if looking forward to the future.
Like a child looking forward to tomorrow’s picnic.
“certainly.”
After that smile, the emotion disappeared from the face of the Dark Mage King.
“Apocalypse God.”
Staring coldly at the god of the end, prepare for the last magic.
“I’m sorry, but for the next two days, you have to hang out with me here.”
The last magic befitting the name of the Dark Mage King.
‘Shinha rate. This is my last gift to you.’
The Dark Mage King converted his life force into magic and performed the final magic.
“Six degrees of hell.”
The barrier of darkness opened by the Dark Mage King began to change.
“Apocalypse God. No matter how great you are, it will be difficult to break this barrier.”
six hells.
Prisons in the form of six hells began to entangle the body of the god of the end.
