#286
286. Another end (1)
It was not until the 83rd floor that the full-fledged subjugation of King Stenberg, one of the 4 ancient species that existed in Taoni, took place. On the 81st floor, the fragments remaining near the ecliptic were disposed of, and on the 82nd floor, the path to Nome was cleared. therefore.
「Keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek
Body length only 10m.
There is not the slightest dignity to be found in the one who once ruled a dimension and was once a divine blue bird.
Kwajik!
I twisted the bifrost stuck in the gap between its wings.
Black blood splattered with the sound of flesh and muscle being torn apart.
「Kyaaak! Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh!
It is difficult to call it a bird now.
The feathers of the body were pulled out, and the entire skeleton was shattered.
Stenberg was falling, bleeding black.
“A little thing… … like worms… … Queek! Prios!」
A sharp magical storm raged.
If it wasn’t for the black dragon rin covering his entire body, his body would have been torn to shreds in an instant.
It was not for nothing that Halgion showed himself.
obvious affinity. Stenberg swept the field by firing large-scale magic dozens of times, but there was no magic powerful enough to pierce the black dragon.
Of course, to Stenberg, the pilot of Taonian magic, he possessed penetrating power enough to pierce the black dragon.
There was no magic.
If you mix a few special attributes with a one-point focus type, it was possible to hit sufficiently.
Such an application would be a piece of cake for Stenberg.
“This me… … betrayal! You betrayed me! Cheeky prince Noom! I will kill you!」
If only I had normal reason and judgment.
He had been shouting only the name of the prince since earlier. It seemed that they mistook me for the prince.
If his judgment hadn’t been clouded, it would have been a difficult fight many times over.
bang! Kwak Kwa Kwa Kwam!
The splendid magic of the four elements rushed like a storm and covered his vision.
[This hero is immune to magic!]
[This hero is immune to magic!]
[This hero is immune to magic… … .]
Tickle massage level.
I chuckled and inserted the hilt of my sword.
The blade of the sword tore through the muscles and dug deep into the vicinity of the heart.
[Skill, ‘Trident’ activated!]
Suddenly, three flashes of light from the ground pierced Stenberg.
It was Jenna’s support shot. This technique, which applied the spiral engraving of El Cid’s confidante, Chamryeol Kirzak, was able to inflict enormous damage to the target by hitting the special attribute shot at a vital point.
Of course, it doesn’t end once and for all.
[Skill, ‘Trident’ activated!]
[Skill, ‘Trident’… … .]
Papa papak!
Dozens of arrows shot up from the ground, one after another, lodged in his vitals.
「Queueek!」
‘It’s filthy strong.’
As Halgion said, it seems that it will only end if you give a fatal blow directly to the heart.
However, his ribs were so strong that even the black sword could not reach his heart.
‘That’s why I’m doing this.’
dozens of meters in the air.
A bitter wind hit my cheek.
The scenery on the ground was getting closer.
Perhaps because he sprayed magic bombardment indiscriminately, the hills and meadows were in a mess.
“Be patient. It’ll be over soon.”
I fell while holding onto his wing with my left hand.
If you shove your sword at the same time as they collide, you’ll get enough power to penetrate.
「Grararak… … .」
I don’t know what happened inside the black hole, but this transcendence has already been contaminated.
It’s crazy.
<Let me rest.>
Halgion’s sighed murmur.
The ground was so close that we could barely breathe.
Right before the collision, I deployed the dragon scales all over my body at full strength.
Kwaaang!
Shattered with the impact, I thrust the blade of my sword into the overturning rubble of the ground.
The feeling of being stabbed and crushed by something soft. At that moment, I felt that Bifrost had penetrated his heart.
“Giaak… … .」
After jumping back, I waited for the dust to clear.
Soon after, the body of the creature buried in a huge crater began to slowly emerge.
Now it had completely lost its shape, becoming a disorganized mass of bones and flesh.
[Stage cleared!]
[Experience is not provided for this mission.]
[Reward – 3,000,000G, King Cheongik’s Heart (S)]
[MVP – ‘Han(★★★★★★)’]
The 83rd floor also ended safely.
“It wasn’t as bad as I thought.”
Belquist, who was sitting at the base of the tree, stood up.
This guy was in charge of clearing the debris around while Jenna and I dealt with the Cheongik King.
“I’m going back first. I have work to do.”
Belquist bowed his head to me, and soon his body was enveloped in waves of light.
Before disappearing, he looked like he was thinking about something, but that figure disappeared in an instant.
“You go back too.”
“What about your brother?”
“I have work to do.”
“Well, okay.”
After that, Jenna returned.
The entire field on the 83rd floor became light from the tip and was fading away.
Looking at the control window on the right side of the field of view, Amkena was also cleaning up in the waiting room.
The only thing left here is me.
“So, what do you say?”
I sat down on the floor and said.
Dark red lightning bolted from his right shoulder and formed a familiar shape.
It was Halgion’s human form.
<How did you know you had something to say?>
“Usually, he would have boasted that he was invincible and that he almost yawned because it was so easy.
<Hahahaha! Did I look like that?>
“Wasn’t it?”
<I can’t deny it.>
Halgion grinned.
Then he stretched out his right hand behind him.
Paper weave!
The speed of dissipation of the field is much slower.
“What did you do?”
<Dimensional conversion speed slowed down. We can talk leisurely for a while.>
“…”
<What are you looking at with those eyes? I can do this kind of thing too. I am also a worthy deity with qualifications.>
“There’s a guy like you who is like that.”
I pointed to what was Stenberg.
Halgion shook his head.
<That’s just Stenberg’s fantasy. In this world of shadows, transcendental species do not completely disappear.>
“Are you saying he’s not dead?”
<Yes.>
I frowned.
I don’t want to fight this guy again.
<Don’t worry. It won’t appear anymore until this world is over. Seeing how contaminated it is, the body might not be all right.>
“Hmm.”
<In this world, beings like us are subject to various restrictions. It must be said that it cannot exert even a fraction of its original strength. Your godhead is stronger than you think. not to be conceited. Of course, if you inherit my power, you have a good chance of surpassing it.>
It seems to be out of context.
Originally, this wasn’t the topic this guy was trying to talk about.
I looked at Halgion in silence. Halgion kept his mouth shut, then opened it again.
<Asinis has disappeared.>
“…”
<To be more precise, after clearing the 80th floor, his presence in the waiting room has faded.>
“Are you gone?”
<I haven’t severed my connection with that cheeky bastard, but at least the cerebral body seems to have left this place.>
I returned the memory of the 80th floor.
Prior to penetrating the dimensional wall, Prios stopped time in the field, but he probably did not get eaten by transcendental species. Does it mean that Ashinis noticed the hidden truth in the process?
<He left a message for you. He told me he would wait.>
“What are you waiting for?”
<That I don’t know. I have to tell you so you can understand. A stupid guy.>
Halgion grumbled.
and looked back at me
<Anyway, I’ll have to go soon.>
“…”
<Of course, I intend to leave power behind. You can handle it to your heart’s content.>
“Where are you going?”
<I don’t know exactly. One thing is for sure, someone is calling me, no, us.>
Halgion turned his head.
I followed his gaze.
Beyond the sky of the slowly dispersing fields, countless golden lights were surging.
That’s not a fragment.
The surging light drew a dazzling trajectory and went somewhere.
<Whoops. This sight can only be seen in the gap between dimensions. Another world is closing. The sacrifices are being ‘liberated’.>
Both this guy and that guy, are the kids here good at eating dog grass?
If you explain in detail, where is it? I’m dying of tired of guessing.
<Han.>
Halgion called me.
<Our contract is until you complete your mission. We won’t blame you if you go back after completing your mission. You have done your duty.>
“so.”
<Sooner or later, you will have to choose.>
I sighed.
‘This guy noticed it too.’
I couldn’t lie either.
It was clear from what he said.
Halgion also realized the truth about Mobius.
“Choice? What do you mean by choice? Do you want to stay here and die together, or choose whether to jump out and survive miserably? It’s a ruined world anyway, so what’s the point of choosing? It’s better to stand out. I hate it.”
<Ha ha ha! You’re not wrong.>
“But a choice? A bio-battery?”
<Certainly, if someone like you inherits Ikar, this game will be much more complete. It may be revived once again.>
I frowned.
Then he pointed to the sky and said.
“I don’t know what they’re doing by gathering the monsters, but I don’t think so at all. You guys seem to be the same as Tell. You’re asking me to sacrifice myself for this universe, right?”
I remembered the prince’s will.
Obviously in the wheat field, he told me this.
‘At the Golden Throne… … We will meet again.’
I’m sick of it. I went down to the crater where Stenberg’s body was buried.
After burying my hand in the flesh and rummaging through it a few times, I was able to pull out the object I wanted.
The fluttering core of the Transcendental Species. Even without the Book of Reverse Heaven, with this level of interference, you can aim for a 7-star promotion.
You only need to catch one more.
Lantia’s core. If you can get that far, you can make an imitation of the Book of Reverse Heaven through joint production with Yourenet. You can throw away the legacy of El Cid. If you complete the 7-star promotion after clearing the 90th floor, you will finally be able to say goodbye to this crazy world.
On Earth, there is a fortune that Yurnet left me.
This is an inexhaustible amount of money. It’s not enough to play and eat for the rest of your life.
There’s no need to broadcast on Mutube just to pay for it. It’s okay to play the games you want to play. survival should not be threatened. It is to spend a leisurely life.
‘But still?’
here?
Nothing good happened.
Life as a hero was a repetition of painful training and battles.
‘It’s useless even if I stay.’
There is no hope.
The universe is over, what to return?
Hundreds of billions of trillions of fragments are teeming at the border. No, can it be expressed simply as a number? As long as Moebius exists, it would be appropriate to say that the number is infinite.
“…”
When I opened my eyes, Halgion’s figure was completely gone.
I noticed he had completely gone.
‘Did you say you weren’t ready?’
tongue-in-cheek
What are you preparing for?
Are you ready to sacrifice your body? To become a battery and die after spending the rest of one’s life according to Tell’s intention?
where I was born,
Earth is the place to return to.
It’s my hometown, it’s where I’ve lived, and it’s where I’ll live.
It’s not such a garbage place.
‘Tell it to go away.’
I spat.
Time, which had stopped, began to return.
I turned my back and surrendered myself to the dazzling light.
‘I must prepare to leave.’
I won’t go along with any of your pranks anymore.
Siris was right.
