283 – Final Chapter (36)
Earth.
The earth embraces.
The beginning of all things is the earth, and even if we come out of it, we will eventually return to the earth.
Two spheres emerged from the earth.
One is black.
One is red.
Waves full of magic and vitality rippling from each sphere.
“… Before you know it.”
The blood demon muttered briefly. It sounded like I was caught off guard, but it was an accurate judgment. Moments when he showed a gap. I spun around the ground and pressed my feet against the ground. At first glance, it looked like it was walking, but in reality, it was scattering magical energy on the floor.
Using magic with your feet.
It was an ability I realized while dealing with Evan of Ozone of Shale Bridge. This is how the realization I gained from losing my hand is put to valuable use. There is no truth to the old saying that if you learn something, you will use it someday.
The magical powers that had been scattered in advance rose from the ground and took shape. It looked like two suns rising from the ground.
It was larger than any other Muryang Bangeuk that had been made so far. One diameter was as tall as an adult. For some reason, I had no energy left after casting the spell.
Is that why?
It was big and beautiful.
It is an ability that is like a symbol of my growth, and the two spheres I created by scraping away everything that was left of me.
Results of growth.
They flew towards the blood demon and merged.
— Tsuzzzzzzzz!
The blood demon hurriedly releases his energy.
Of course, it can’t be meaningful.
The two spheres that had already begun to merge began to vibrate solely around the two.
Is this what it would feel like if two giant water droplets merged?
Waves are intertwined around each other. It looked as if paints were mixing with the artist’s brush strokes.
It glows red, then green, then blue, or even purple.
This may be because it contains both polarities.
Therefore, all things are created by combining.
They combined with a brilliant light and soon became a black sphere.
Spheres merged into one.
And then.
Static.
…
…
…
Sudden silence is heavier than anything else.
The sphere begins to shrink due to the gravity exerted by its heaviness.
Tsuzuzutsu!
The smaller the size, the more brutal it becomes.
A gust of wind blew, and sparks flew.
Nevertheless, the Blood Demon and I stood still.
Because they both knew. Even if you run away in this split second, nothing will change.
Sparkle!
Pitch-black light extends out.
The origin is the center of the sphere. One stem, two stems. Numerous bunches of light. They all extend horizontally.
The straight lines of light gathered horizontally formed a plane.
The lights, which stretched out like the rings of Saturn, soon spread out and cut the sky to pitch black.
“Ah.”
An exclamation burst out without knowing who it belonged to.
My mouth was open, and the blood demon’s mouth was also open.
Perhaps the Blood Demon and I both exclaimed in admiration at the same time.
“The sky has been divided.”
A somewhat embarrassing line flowed from the Blood Demon’s mouth. Surprisingly, it didn’t cringe that much. Because of the discussion I had just recently had, my resistance to cringing was high. Both were ready to have a serious discussion about such technology.
The Blood Demon continued to ask.
“What do you call it?”
“Muryangbangeuk.”
“I guess it means combining polarities to create something infinite.”
I nodded quietly.
Before we know it, Muryangbangeuk has become as small as a basketball.
The black plane covering the sky centered on it was increasing in density.
The blood demon also quietly looked up at the sky.
He is definitely a very different person from me. People who still think of this as a game and see themselves as players. In some ways, he and I were clearly on polar opposites.
But.
The sky we see is the same.
The timing, method, and direction of thought were different, but when we reached the end, we were looking at the same sky from the same place.
“Your infinite antipathy. I have experienced it before.”
“I’ve never unleashed a blood demon in front of you.”
“Wasn’t it unfolded at the sacred site of our school?”
“Ah. When to break the barrier?”
“Yes. The main Buddha sees most of what happens within it as clearly as the palm of his hand.”
“As expected, is it possible to inspect all areas where sound reaches?”
“hahahaha.”
The blood demon looked at me and smiled.
“He’s a quick-witted kid.”
“Only at this level can I deal with people of your level.”
“I know how to tremble even when flattered.”
“I think that’s enough of the praise. Still, it’s the final boss fight, so it’s not nice to raise the corners of your mouth and smirk.”
“It’s already up.”
Damn. After all, blood demons are strong enemies.
Since the atmosphere was already like this, I asked something I was curious about.
“I have one more question than that.”
“Ask me. It looks like there’s still room for that thing to explode.”
“Why did you leave me alone even after breaking the church’s barrier?”
“I pretended not to know.”
“What is the reason?”
The blood demon stared at me.
He had a serious face.
“Ian, I thought you would compete with the original Buddha in this way.”
“In short, are you trying to hide the fact that you are aware of my special move?”
“Yes.”
He calmly affirmed. Although he was calm, he was mean. You knew my special move, but you hid that fact. It’s not something someone like the final boss should do.
At the same time.
The story is that even while we were fighting, the Blood Demon was continuously watching out for Muryang Bangeuk. Somehow, even though I kept checking the timing, I felt like the feeling was strong.
“… Did you know but pretend not to know?”
“You also pretended that you didn’t have a special move, so the score is tied.”
“That’s right.”
Like this, people are sincere when they fight.
The story is that special moves are kept hidden even if it means losing face. I hid it, but the Blood Demon acted as if I was deceived. While I was sharpening my knife on the inside.
In the end, this is what life and death are like.

Since your life is at stake, it is bound to be somewhat childish.
Because they tend to hide a move that can catch the opponent off guard. This is especially true if it is an opponent that is equal or not much different.
In the end, it was said that the blood demon recognized me.
Since when?
He answers the question as if he has read it.
“As I walk the path of shale, I become accustomed to seeing through human intelligence and qualities. Your case was special. The blood girl discovered you first. Seeing the child’s greed, I became interested. She was right. . Moreover, when I looked around, I noticed that his behavior was unusual. I thought he must be a player.”
I was looking through it.
I often felt like I was being observed by someone from the beginning. The Shaleamists have also been strangely obsessed. Blood woman and blood demon. I guess it was worth it since I got the attention of both of them.
“Do you have any more questions?”
“No, I think it’s done at this point.”
“I see. Then let’s get ready.”
Hyeolma quietly sat cross-legged in his seat.
I also sat down with him.
Now, our fight has become fleetingly simple.
Muryang Bangeuk floating in the sky.
Whoever survives from that is the winner, and whoever dies is the loser.
A baseball-sized infinite pole is spinning, and a black plane spreads endlessly around it.
“You see the sky split in half.”
The Blood Demon muttered.
In those words, he had a glimpse of the feeling that he wanted to do something like that. He quietly closed his eyes.
Thump, thump, thump.
Red energy pulsated around him as if his pulse was racing. He was already surrounded by a bright red protective shield.
“Ian. Do you have any energy left?”
I nodded quietly.
It is one of the biggest advantages of the earth element.
As long as your feet are on the ground, you can recover mana relatively quickly. Moreover, there is even an extraction skill.
All remaining magical energy has been gathered.
All the life force and power called true energy were gathered together and surrounded me.
It didn’t stop there.
All useful elements were extracted from the earth.
Metals, non-metals, special ores, etc.
‘… Lunar?’
I also felt a familiar mineral.
A primitive form of protection was completed in this way.
I am also a blood demon.
All you can do is protect yourself as best you can.
The Muryang Bangeuk, which was now as big as a bean, was spinning at an incredible speed.
“If anyone survives here.”
The blood demon with his eyes closed continued speaking.
“I think it would be a good idea to give the technique a new name. It seems to be another step forward from the Invincible Bangeuk. In the eyes of the principal, the fact that it split the sky is very impressive.”
I nodded quietly.
If you explain the situation to the blood girl, she will come up with at least a suitable name.
“Do you have anything to say?”
The moment I heard the Blood Demon’s words, the faces of my colleagues appeared in my mind. I tightly held the magic crystals of my colleagues in my hands.
“There is no such thing. I will survive.”
“I like your confidence.”
“Do you have a will?”
After asking, I thought, Oops.
I have lived my life thinking of myself as a player, but even if I had a will, who would I tell it to?
But the Blood Demon calmly opened his mouth.
“I’m glad you were the last opponent. I felt like I really enjoyed a proper game.”
Blood Demon is a player.
He may have needed another player to play with.
Because playing games alone is not fun.
Blood Demon.
No, the unknown possessor smiled.
“It was fun.”
It’s a pure laugh, but it’s impossible because of what he’s done.
— Faaat!
Soon, the sphere that reached the critical point disappeared from sight.
I quietly looked down at my palm.
The magic crystals of my colleagues were shining like a blessing.
— Beee
Tinnitus covers my ears.
Everything became quiet.
A completely silent space.
I closed my eyes.
It was peaceful.
Sparkle!
With the pure white light rushing in, I lost consciousness.
