297 – Second Day (3)
God. From its very name, it is a title that refers to something beyond humans.
Beyond simple power, its status is much higher than that of humans. Even if it is just a minor god, once it is called a god, it is by no means an easy or simple opponent.
Therefore, one of the most important procedures for humans to fight against gods is to receive help from the same gods and counter divine powers with divine power.
This process is in fact indispensable in order to deal with evil gods, not just any random gods. Even if you don’t ask for God’s help, having at least a priest would be a huge help.
“Damn, even just one decent priest would have helped a lot. “I don’t want to reach the level of that priest, but wouldn’t even a passing church member show up?”
A warrior with skills beyond imagination might be able to cut down both gods and demons and advance without hesitation, but although Leon and Kisea were masters, they were not at that level. There was no ability to ignore the evil spirit of the Shinigami and inflict damage like Roka’s Sunset Slash or Ardain’s Empty Sword.
“The Shinigami has already unleashed his divine power and covered the entire place, so there is no way such a person would appear. “The outside world probably doesn’t even know what’s going on here.”
The later member of the Weston family, who has been fighting against the supernatural and evil for generations, noticed the current situation and gave advice. It seemed that the Shinigami had already grown to the point where he could use his divine power to perform divine acts and attract others.
This other world, engulfed in darkness, was clearly not the real world. This sacred area, filled with infinite darkness, was the realm of the Four Gods of Death, and it was the most advantageous place, so the Red Flame River was unable to use its power properly, and its limit was to barely light up the surroundings.
“No matter how powerful the Shinigami is, this has gone too far. Creating a space like this and trapping two masters? If he was really that powerful, he wouldn’t have had time to complain like that right now. In my view, this divine realm is probably half true to magic or illusion.”
It’s a story that can’t be verified now that we can’t use magic properly, but Parnell came up with his own inference. If he really had the power to move this entire large mansion to a place different from reality, it would have been more beneficial to use that power directly to destroy the two masters at once.
But now, although the Shinigami had the upper hand throughout, it did not give the impression of being overwhelming. So, Leon and Kiseah had some time to make fun of his mouth while fighting.
“Locca is a wolf too! You are a wolf too! Why is there such a difference in skills? “Do your best!”
“You’re not running away, you’re staying loyal. Isn’t that enough? How do you do it better!”
The two masters never backed down easily, burning the curses that the Shinigami cursed at every moment with the Crimson Flame Energy and destroying them with the Destruction Energy, but it seemed difficult to win anyway.
No matter how strong these two people are, there is something called compatibility. God is a very difficult opponent for a pure warrior to deal with, and the help of a wizard or priest is semi-essential.
“It might have been a little helpful if I had a holy sword or a demon killer. Those two people are definitely strong, but they don’t have the same weapons as us before. “It is extremely disadvantageous against God.”
If you can’t win with skill, you have to have good weapons, but the weapons of those two masters were no match for the warrior party of yesteryear.
Kisea’s famous sword, Ascalon, is a new weapon created by the best blacksmith Urban, but in the end, it is nothing more than a sharp and easy-to-cut sword. Although it is extremely sturdy and strong, it does not have any abilities that are of much help against gods.
There is no special effect like the Holy Sword, which is the crystal of holiness that needs no words, or the Demon Killer, which exorcises all kinds of demons and has the power of exorcism in itself.
You may not need such an effect against humans, but the story is different with gods. Not everyone can fight off gods with a wooden stick.
Even a single evil spirit is actually a being that can destroy the life of an ordinary person. Moreover, if they are not just ghosts and have entered the ranks of gods, in most cases they cannot touch them without the help of special tools or objects.
“Yurinel, what if? “If only that guy were with us right now…”
“Let’s not talk about the guy we agreed to kick out. You’re saying that to make me even more upset. It’s a blessing that we kicked out on our own. “If he’s capable, he’ll be better off than us no matter where he goes.”
When faced with such a strange thing, you naturally miss the presence of a skilled priest, but missing it doesn’t make it appear here. A woman whose skills were dead, but whose sense of sight was not, let out a sigh that smelled like alcohol.
Looking at the way things are going, those two masters are holding up quite well, but they are only holding out well. It didn’t seem like he had the ability to inflict any significant damage on the Shinigami.
Then, in the end, you lost. It’s just a matter of time before the results come out. And once those two are defeated, there is no need to say anything more about their fate as they are trapped in the sacred area.
He barely escaped from the clutches of the Demon Emperor, and is now a Shinigami. If you kill it quickly and cleanly, you’ll be lucky, but if you do it wrong, you could end up living and being toyed with endlessly.
“Hey, Parnell. If this is a place where reality and fantasy are mixed, as you suspect, then wouldn’t we also benefit from it? At least here, wouldn’t it be possible to regain one’s old skills, unlike in reality?”
“Do you think that makes sense? It’s impossible. We may have been under an illusion, but that doesn’t mean this is a real dream. Moreover, even if it is truly a dream, unless it is a lucid dream that we dream alone, it is ultimately a mental battle. “Can you defeat the Shinigami with your mental power?”
If this was a convenient space where one’s power could be infinitely amplified just by thinking about it, wouldn’t the reaper who created such a space have wiped them out all at once? No, if they had the ability to do so in the first place, to be honest, wiping out an entire continent would have been no problem.
The fact that the Shinigami himself is unable to show his omniscience and omnipotence and is in a difficult situation with the two masters is the biggest proof that this is not a very convenient place.
Parnell thought of all kinds of magic theories he knew, but there was not a single concept that could be conveniently applied in that way. Lucia did not dare open her mouth to refute this smart wizard. She just held on to her whip, which was at her waist at some point.
“Then, is this just an illusion? “Is it nothing, just a mirage created by my longing?”
“You, that…”
“Yes, it may be an illusion with no power. But even so, this is definitely a family heirloom. And that heirloom is now in my hands.”
Demon Killer.
A whip of exorcism that has been passed down from generation to generation to the head of the Weston family.
From Noble mtl dot com
It is known as a whip that hunts demons, but this is not necessarily true.
The devil was only one of the Weston family’s prey, but by no means all of them.
If there is something evil that harms people, whatever it is,
This magic weapon created through alchemy purification is effective on any target.
I know. This object must have already been torn apart by the ancient Demon King. The original was shattered and lost its power, and now this object is nothing more than a shadow created by the projection of one’s own fantasy.
“Anyway, we all came here looking for a place to die.”
However, it is too much to dismiss it as an imitation or mere fantasy.
The force emitted by the whip was no different from before.
“At that last moment, the family heirloom was in my hands. So, for the last time, I want to leave as a descendant of Weston. If you don’t do that, you’re dishonoring your ancestors, and you don’t deserve to be buried in your family’s tomb when you die. Can you help me, Parnell? And Yurinel?”
She didn’t even hear the answer and ran out swinging her whip, but
That’s because I already guessed the answer.
The hero and the mage looked at each other. Parnell chuckled and responded.
“This is impossible. From a common sense point of view, this makes no sense. There’s no way something like this is possible. But really, even if this is just a dream or fantasy…”
“If it’s a dream like this, it’s definitely worth dreaming about.”
Yuri Nell tapped her thigh with her finger. Where I originally felt only an empty touch, I now feel that extremely familiar feeling.
The sword she always used was there, and she doesn’t know where it has gone and now it’s back.
“Yurinel. I’ll tell you in advance. It’s too good to be true. Maybe it was a ploy by that reaper to play a trick on us. No, probably definitely not.”
“It doesn’t matter. I would be grateful if you could make me dream like this at least in the last moments. “I’ll gladly enjoy that joke.”
“Yes, I will resolutely enjoy this last moment as a descendant of the royal family, and you as a warrior.”
In the past, a party that subdued several demon lords and terrorized one race.
If it is that Shinigami who gives up the end of the hero party, then that is an end that I am willing to be satisfied with.
But,
“That’s when that guy can finish us off.”
The warrior laughed. She pulled out the shining holy sword. So far she has never lost in her life except three times.
He was captured by the demon Harmael, not because he was defeated in battle, but rather because he was captured when his strength was all gone. In reality, he was only defeated by Grimudo twice.
The purple and dark energy that Grimudo breathed in has now disappeared everywhere. The blocked magic circuit began to operate again, and I felt extremely refreshed.
So, you won’t know who will kill whom unless you try.
Even if the opponent is a god.
