Shock waves hit everywhere, including people and buildings.
Monstrous strength that cannot be considered human, and incredible speed that is unbelievable to have come from such a massive body.
Suddenly!
It even has an abnormal regenerative power that allows it to recover instantly even if blood is shed from cutting flesh.
“No way!”
Gelman, who was holding the blood sword that had cut his side, swung his right hand as if he didn’t care if his fingers were cut off.
A strong desire to kill the opponent even if it means giving up his left hand. A smile spread across Ren as he faced those venomous eyes.
The first soul struck like a bolt of lightning, filled with spiritual power, spurts out a blue electric light and swats away his claws.
“Ugh… !”
[Spell of Weakness]
Afterwards, the eternal stone embedded in the first marriage glowed red. The evil spirit that protrudes from within wraps around Gelman’s left hand.
Gelman, who frowned at the momentarily weakened grip, poured out his magic energy and unleashed the evil spirit, but his left fingers were already tattered.
Suddenly!
Patter.
All four fingers except the thumb were cut off and thrown to the ground.
“Khaaa!!”
Gelman, who was desperate for his life, lets out a scream. Unable to contain his anger, his screams rang out loudly in the surrounding area.
“you… “I will definitely kill you.”
He spit out his anger. The thick scent of blood penetrates the tip of Ren’s nose. The blood sword was whining as if it was satisfied, gradually pushing negative emotions into Ren.
‘The blood sword’s ability is good, but it can’t go any further than this.’
I didn’t use first marriage to hide my identity, but since I brought up first marriage, I guess I’ve already gone overboard.
Well, Gelman was so overcome with excitement that it seemed like he was getting married for the first time and didn’t notice anything.
“what… what. “Why are you putting the sword away?”
“Ah, one sword is enough for you.”
Gelman twists the corner of his mouth at Ren’s provocation and mutters softly.
“You cocky bastard.”
Grinding his teeth so hard that his chin trembled, he pulled out the iron grill next to the flower bed and stepped with his left foot.
thud!!
The stepped foot digs into the ground. Heavy demonic energy billowing over the iron bars along with craters forming on the floor.
The majestic energy contained in the iron bars shoots out and races toward Ren.
‘It’s real this time.’
A completely different power than before. You can clearly see the space bursting around the flying iron bars.
The confidence that we will never lose in a battle of strength and power is fully revealed in that single flash of light.
We have been able to withstand every attack that comes our way so far, so we believe this time will be no different. It wasn’t a bad idea, but it was a choice I would never have made if I had stuck with Ren even once.
Instead of foolishly accepting the attack, Ren chose to roll on the ground unsightly.
“What… !”
Gelman, who must have never expected Ren to do such a thing, frowns and pulls out the next iron bar.
Crunch!!
As soon as he finished preparing for another attack, a loud explosion rang out.
Quaaa!!
The source of the sound was the laboratory building where Aston was held. With a deafening roar, the building began to collapse from Gelman’s single javelin.
“Kill me, I will throw you away!”
Realizing that he had once again played into Ren’s hands, Gelman hit the iron bars towards Ren who was approaching him.

– piercing the curtain, thunder
At the same time, the curtain of brain energy unfolds.
It’s shaky… !
A dazzling blue electric current spreads between the two in an instant.
Kwaaa!!
Gelman, who accidentally hit the ground, blocked all the incoming flashes with the nail of his left hand, which only had his thumb.
bang! bang! bang! bang! bang!
Attack and defense at incredible speed. We both feel that whoever loses focus even for a moment will suffer.
‘It’s definitely different from a real monster.’
‘What an unbelievable talent. If we don’t kill him here, he will definitely interfere with our cause in the future.’
At a time when everyone’s wariness toward each other is extremely high.
Golden divine power rising beyond the sky. A moment of agony appeared on Gelman’s face as he intuited the powerful power contained within and the target it was aiming for.
“Jen… page!”
In a split-second, Gelman, who has made his decision, urgently turns around to find Aston.
“Where are you going?”
He goes crazy after being intercepted by Ren, who had no intention of letting him go.
“Khaaa!! Get out of the way! The tent… no!”
The image of a sword shining brightly in golden light descends from the clouds and swings its blade towards the curtain.
“God’s punishment.”
At the same time as Aston’s low holy spell, the veil and the holy sword collided.
Kwagagagagagagag!!
The dark red demonic energy that was attached to the curtain clung to the sword and tried to block the golden sword, but they began to disappear one by one. The power that had sucked people’s life force gradually faded away.
“The god of God… … , I will kill you!!”
Gelman, who was convulsing at the sight, ignored Ren and rushed towards Aston, ignoring the fact that his side was cut off.
Aston was kneeling on the floor, holding both hands in a prayer position. In a situation where he was on the verge of killing him, intense heat penetrated his heart and spread throughout his body.
From Noble mtl dot com
“Khuuuck!”
Gelman, trembling, stopped in front of Aston and knelt on the floor.
thud.
Puzzle! Pajik!
“Well, damn… … .”
With those short last words, Ren cut off Gelman’s head.
When Aston attacked the curtain, his tenacity and resilience dropped sharply. Even the overwhelming speed and power gradually decreased.
It seemed that it was the power of the veil that helped him reach master level.
A head rolling on the floor with its eyes wide open. Gelman’s body was fixed in place. Suddenly, the wolf’s form disappeared and he returned to his human form.
It looked incredibly shabby for a monster that had engaged in a fierce battle with Ren just a moment ago.
‘The fact that I am a master level must have gone far beyond expectations.’
From the beginning, the plan was not to even give Aston time to prepare such a large-scale sacred magic, but Ren was stronger than expected, so time dragged on.
It would have been impossible to defeat someone who was on par with Gelman, perhaps even stronger, without the help of the curtain.
Gelman’s unreasonable targeting of Aston was also a gamble that he had no choice but to attempt.
“Kuhuhuh… … !”
Aston, who was performing divine magic, fell to the floor, coughing up blood.
“Are you okay?”
“yes… , but not yet… The curtain… … .”
The curtain, which seemed ready to be torn apart at any moment, eventually withstood the holy magic and remained in place for pride.
‘Tsk, is it because of Gelman’s speculation?’
Although he couldn’t inflict a direct hit, the spirit he fired from close range would have been enough to break Aston’s concentration on holy magic.
Aston, whose mind was distracted by the impact, was unable to lift the curtain.
“still… “Time was earned.”
“Thank you for your effort.”
Aston fell to the floor. Ren scanned the surroundings and sent energy in all directions to sweep away any traces.
‘There is no human alive and well.’
It may have been because of being caught up in the aftermath of Ren and Gelman’s battle, but it was most likely because of that curtain.
Otherwise, no one like this would have survived.
‘Did you evacuate and spread out your followers before that? If not that too… … .’
It may be that they were simply used as consumables and replaced from time to time.
If they are black stars, they are enough to do that. I don’t know how they create so many followers, but I’m sure it’s not just those who came in on their own due to the power of Black Star.
It must be some kind of method to attract followers.
There seems to be no need to worry about the safety of Aston and Flake. If we leave it like this, both of them will recover on their own.
Ren trudged through the devastation he and Gelman had created.
The hard dirt floor turned into powder and scattered, and the flowers that decorated the surrounding area turned into dried leaves and fell to pieces.
The overturned ground and the human skin buried in it. The cold space without a single ray of sunlight is now filled with hot air, making the skin tingle.
It is an incredible tragedy that was created by just two humans.
Inside, the images of two warriors of high status are engraved here and there. As Ren walked there, he relived the battle and what he had lacked.
‘It was quite dangerous this time.’
Although they had the upper hand, I don’t know what would have happened if it wasn’t for Aston. If the fight had not been resolved quickly while taking on the fatal risk of the veil, the tide would have eventually turned.
Clap-
Ren opened the tower’s doorknob and entered, heading upward without hesitation.
The destination was clear even before entering. Intense magic energy begins from the top of the tower. If you go there, you will be able to see the source of the tent.
“Is this place?”
A blood-red inverted pentagram engraved on the floor. A red star inside a circle is engraved upside down.
The dark stone floating in the middle of the place was filled with concentrated magical energy rising to the top of the cone-shaped tower.
The control over space becomes stronger the closer you get. Fragments of the power that was faintly felt from the outside can be clearly felt.
‘It’s as if I’m going crazy with hunger.’
The black stone sways slightly as if it wants to eat the delicious food right in front of it.
‘Is it the power of the devil?’
It felt similar to the power that Nicholas had unleashed on Ren at the royal tomb. This too must be the result of the devil’s power.
After a short period of contemplation, Ren swung his Chohon. Because I didn’t have enough time.
Kaang!!
A translucent black membrane appeared and disappeared, blocking the first spirit.
As expected, the intangible barrier surrounding the station Omangseong was protecting the black stone.

If there is a shield blocking it, just destroy it.
Assaults are more effective the stronger the defense shield. It is a technique that stiffens space and reduces defense to the maximum.
Noegi pushes away the demonic energy that was occupying the top of the tower and sprays an electric current.
It’s shaky… !!
The cold flash that enveloped the first soul stretched straight out and struck the barrier.
Huuung- Quaaa!!
Fragments of brain energy flying out in all directions with a sound. The barrier that vibrated with him tried to resist until the end, but was unable to hold on and split apart.
Kwazijic!!
A flash of light passed over the black stone, shattered the wall on the other side, and disappeared. Unlike the barrier, the black stone itself was not very durable and cracked easily.
Jjeok-tuk.
Demonic energy rose like smoke between the cracked black stones and soon dispersed like dust. The magic that was soaring to the top of the tower disappeared in an instant.
Ren, who had entered the first marriage, let his arms go limp. When the barrier hiding the southern desert branch of the Black Star disappeared, the darkness outside the window disappeared.
Bright sunlight hit the branch in an instant. The chill disappears and a fever rushes in. Sensing that everything was over, Ren took off the mask that was covering his face.
“Whoa… … .”
The frustration has completely disappeared.
Coo coo coo coo… … .
“Oh my… … .”
Vibrations began at the bottom of the tower. I felt like I could feel a faint energy creeping in right after the barrier disappeared.
“Are you trying to erase any traces of the branch?”
At the speed of progress that can be felt, there is still time to spare.
The tower collapsed, revealing some hidden devices. The most striking one among them is a ring with a round gem about the size of a finger.
The ring contained in the small drawer caught up in Ren’s attack was rolling around on the ground unharmed, unlike the drawer that had no shape left.
After scanning the top, where he couldn’t see anything suspicious anymore, Ren picked up the ring and headed straight downstairs.
The place where Gelman and Flake had a close battle. Ren headed to the only floor with an open wall other than the top and entered the room at the end of the hallway where the fight took place.
One wall is gaping and the inside is a complete mess. I took a quick look inside, but didn’t see anything strange.
Traces of a fight that started in the hallway. Did Gelman really lead Flake to where the important item was?
Ren left the room and walked slowly, looking at the marks left in the hallway.
‘Brain energy… , Flake’s magic is cut off in the middle.’
At first glance, it might not seem like anything out of the ordinary, but to Ren, it looked as if the traces had been blocked to prevent magic from flowing into this room.
First room in the hallway. If there is anything important here, it makes sense that Gelman would drag Flake into the end room.
Squeak-
When I open the door, I see the inside of a small, shabby room. It seems as if it was deliberately showing that it is a useless place that no one uses.
A desk and bookshelves scattered around the room. As Ren was pulling out the books that were so tightly packed that they were not being used, he noticed a small groove in the bookshelf adjacent to the desk.
‘This… … .’
Magical power flows quite exquisitely within it. I don’t know what kind of magic circle was engraved on it, but magical energy was covering the entire board of the desk.
It’s probably the type of magic circle that will be activated if you try to open this place by force.
Ren took out the ring he had picked up earlier from his pocket.
“The hole is perfect.”
This ring may not be the key to unlocking this magic circle, but it can’t be helped.
If we delay any longer, we will be swept up in the explosion along with the Black Star’s secret branch.
cook.
I knew it. The bead of the ring fit perfectly into the groove.
Rattling!
At the same time, the magic circle was released and the desk was slightly lifted.
“found.”
