185 – Blood and Flesh (4)
Duke Blake’s death was imminent.
It was possible to catch and kill it.
If you put your mind to it, nothing would be impossible. He could definitely have been killed.
If only there were no interruptions.
I felt like something was being twisted inside me. Anger, resentment, or any other emotion that can be labeled as ‘I’m angry.’
I saw the energy of Carsilion.
He froze time, and although it didn’t stop my movements, it at least succeeded in making Duke Blake disappear.
To conclude, yes. I never ended up killing Duke Blake.
Kkdeuk-
‘Like this again.’
I ground my teeth without even realizing it.
Because it was similar last time.
He was overflowing with murderous intent towards Duke Blake, and was on the verge of success in killing him.
At that time, if there had been no interference, I would have definitely been able to kill him.
At the time, he was the crown prince and Majin.
This time it is Carsilion.
The crown prince’s purpose was probably nothing special. At best, they confirmed its value, or something like that, so they took the duke with them.
Even if it’s rotten, it’s okay… …. Even though he looked like that, he was a high-ranking warlock unprecedented in history.
But Carsilion is not like that. It was clear that wouldn’t be the case.
Why? He won’t need any reinforcements.
This was a kind of certainty that went beyond my guesses or guesses.
I have seen Carsilion’s abilities.
How shocked was he inside when he saw Tsumei, who was almost equal to him in terms of military power, even freeze time?
It was the same logic as saying that the devil in reverse would not necessarily try to recruit Duke Blake.
That means it was impossible to know. Moreover, it meant that it seemed like he was just trying to stimulate my emotions.
This is slightly different from excessive self-consciousness.
To Carsilion, the existence of Duke Blake is not that important.
To put it bluntly, it is worthless.
Nevertheless, they took him alive. I grabbed the neck of the guy I was trying to kill, and opened a gap in time to escape this area.
I felt my eyes bloodshot, but I gritted my teeth as if I was going to crush them.
What is the purpose? Why on earth did he act like he was anxious because he couldn’t provoke me?
Have you changed your mind about the topic that you backed away from as if you would respect me at some point?
‘What on earth are you going to do if you just disappear without saying a word in the first place?’
To reiterate, I was very angry right now.
The fact that I didn’t have the ability to track him down also played a role.
I tried to suppress it as much as possible, but I was in a fairly deep state of immersion just before that.
I fell into Dante’s consciousness.
It was a union and unity to kill Duke Blake.
Because I did not forget Paradise, I tried to kill him.
And the moment he pretends to be an agent for the sacrificed children and strikes the duke with lightning -.
The Dragon Emperor, Carsilion, suddenly appeared and snatched the man who should have died by my hands.
“…… hahahaha.”
It was unknown.
But then I burst out laughing.
I felt like my head was going to explode from overload.
‘Dante’s’ consciousness drifted a little further away.
Although he was on the verge of performing revenge, he was unable to reach the top of the peak and his hand slipped and he fell down.
Has there ever been a saying that revenge is only vain?
I didn’t think that was completely wrong, but now I can think of things from a slightly different perspective.
More than the feeling of emptiness after successful revenge, ‘unsuccessful revenge’ creates a deeper feeling of emptiness in the first place.
“… ….”
But that wasn’t all that made my emotions boil.
The point at which I broke through the black curtain and came out.
There was a bright red sky spreading out, and at the same time, a part of a devil in the shape of a boy had descended in the center of it.
More than anything else, Eve and Lucius were being crushed as if they were about to die.
The pressure of pure gravity. The blood that has already flowed back is soaking the ground around them.
It probably won’t be surprising if I die soon.
At that moment, I just paused and thought.
I could not take my eyes off the sight.
Eve’s trembling gaze met mine for a moment as blood continued to pour out.
I felt like I could see death approaching her with my own eyes.
…… Die.
Soon, you will die.
The moment I realized, I was already causing thunderstorms.
‘Die?’
I die. Who? Eve.
Why? Because of the devil.
I saw Jerome. An inverted cross was visible behind it. A long string of evil energy was also observed between the inverted cross and the devil in the inverted sky.
Every single one of them had to be burned cleanly and destroyed.
So turn to ashes.
That was the only thought.
Quargorung!
Lightning struck. First, the strings of the instrument connected to the inverted cross were burned.
It was disintegrated into atoms so horribly that even reproduction was impossible.
“Wow!!”
Surprisingly, the person who suffered the blow was not the devil of heaven.
It may not be without influence, though.
Jerome spat out blood once. Unlike Eve and Lucius’, it was dirty blood with a lot of dark red energy.
I didn’t care.
Next, she waves her hands again. Following the conductor’s instructions, dozens of lightning bolts swept through the air, leaving a flowing trail.
Kwagwagwagwagwagwang-!!
The influence of gravity has been erased. It was a formless force, but if it existed here as ‘energy’, it wouldn’t be that difficult to push it away.
This time, it seems that the devil in the sky had no choice but to become even more expressionless.
Those bright red eyes looked directly at me for the first time, and at the same time, the emotions that rose over them were tension as well as caution.
Hostility.
The Three Kings of the Nine Heavens recognized me as a clear enemy.
Perhaps it was a situation where one should be afraid.
Well, the devil in reverse might have expected that kind of response.
I had no intention of showing such an unsightly appearance.
The moment the gravitational force that had filled the area was lifted, I could see all the power leaving Eve’s body as well.
Her lips were trembling helplessly and moving as if she was about to say something, so I walked up to her and gently pressed her shoulder.
Now, it’s okay to lose consciousness for a while.
The instrument will no longer function.
“… ….”
It wasn’t said in words, but was the meaning conveyed?
Immediately, Eve’s eyes closed as she looked up at me with difficulty.
Even though I was aware that my breathing was fine, my body began to shrink at that moment.
The effect was that I could not even see the small vitality in her eyes.
I repeat, she was alive.
But she also couldn’t know.
There wasn’t much free time. I had to take him to the priest of the system right away.
If even that is not possible, at least a safe space is needed.
‘It won’t work, after all.’
The devil in her wake will not wait for me to do her ‘work’ to save her.
I raised my head into the sky at the moment when I felt a presence.
I could see the slightly blurred upper body of Yeokcheon.
But there will still be room left.
Whoop!!!
In fact, the devil in the sky was trying to gather the instruments in one place with his eyes wide open, as if my interference itself was so annoying.
What is the purpose?
It wasn’t long before I found out the answer to my question. Very naturally.
Cooooo-
The devil of Yeokcheon created a hill of evil energy.
I instinctively hardened my expression.
No special power was applied. Rather, the physical quantity was simply enormous.
I wonder what level of competency one must have to carry out such an ignorant attack.
Kugugugugugugugu…… !
The hill began to fall.
Literally, falling.
It may be possible for me to escape alone, but not for Eve and Lucius.
That unnecessarily large hill would probably bury the entire area under the ground.
I gathered the thunderbolt. The thunderbolt that filled both hands was clearly a force that exceeded my current limits and was infinitely more powerful.
It was probably unreasonable. I’ve already used up a lot of my strength. 100% Or more.
A painful pain that doesn’t really feel real due to the adrenaline secreted like crazy.
But it was definitely true. It was to the point where the dragon man’s body couldn’t withstand it.
My whole body was already burning. Burning pain. Not only the inside, but also the visible outer parts of the body were burning black.
For a moment, my head was spinning.
I succeeded in forcing my vision, which was almost blurred, but…….
In other words, it was the best.
The hill of the instrument falls. It was right in front of my eyes.
I glimpsed a future where I would be crushed.
Quaaa-
At that very moment, the hill of the instrument split in half.
The cause was the white light that split the sky.
“…… !”
I opened my eyes wide for a moment, but soon realized that it was not the time.
Fragments were about to fall. It was a remnant of an instrument that could not be ignored.
Lightning flashed from the tip of the arm that was hurriedly swung, and soon numerous thunderbolts shot up in a circle and became a barrier to protect the two people.
However, it was inevitable that the view would be obscured by the exploded hill.
‘What happened just now…? … ?’
Nevertheless, I forced myself to activate the Long Eyes in both eyes.
The straight, torn gaze pierced through black smoke and dust.
It wasn’t just me who was taken aback by the sudden shock, but the devil in reverse was also the same.
For the first time, the demon of the reverse sky turned its head, showing an expression that matched its appearance.
It was a slightly distant sky. I also looked there.
The reason was none other than the presence felt there.
Someone was there.
Wooooo… ….
I narrowed my eyes.
The purpose was to more accurately confirm its existence in the distance.
And only after doing so, there was an external characteristic that was visible.
Silver hair flowing down her shoulders and blue eyes.
More than Eve and Lucius, a man who resembles me now.
Sharp eyes swept across this entire space.
Jerbeok-
It was at that moment that the being took a step through the air.
Yeokcheon’s bright red eyes narrowed for a moment.
I was also the one who looked blank and embarrassed.
I knew that man.
You can’t not know, right? Because we know each other, and if you look at it, we are closer to relatives.
In terms of number of relatives, he was closer than Eve.
He was a man who did not leave a good impression on me.
It wasn’t that I hated it, but…….
What you need to think clearly is that even if a man was once thought to be incompetent, he is a man whose personal strength is certain.
Innate bloodline. Blessing of lineage. Atavism in a different sense from Eve.
That man was a member of the royal family who had the blood of the first emperor of the empire.
And it is the peak that currently reigns as the sun of this empire.
“…… “How did you come to set foot in my territory?”
The emperor opened his mouth.
His eyes turned to Yeokcheon.
“I don’t know how you are aware of the situation.”
[…] ….]
“Within the empire, I trained demons without my knowledge, entered into contracts with them, and most of all, deceived the imperial family. “You were summoned like that and are now threatening my children?”
Despite the emperor’s calm words, the devil in the reverse sky did not open his mouth.
In fact, it was because communication was restricted due to the influence of a clumsy summons.
Even if he had been able to speak, he probably wouldn’t have been able to come up with a specific answer.
That was the extent of the intimidation the emperor exuded at this moment.
To the extent that the devil in the reverse sky feels difficult.
To the extent that the devil in the sky considers evasion.
“Answer me, Three Kings of the Nine Heavens.”
Soon, the emperor’s steps stopped right under the bright red sky of Yeokcheon.
He raised his head and made eye contact with the Three Kings of the Nine Heavens as he said.
“Isn’t it true that you came here assuming a war with me and the empire?”
Above his twinkling blue eyes, an unconcealed murderous spirit was surfacing eerily.
