Episode 302. Schluss (1)
“Kuhuhhhhh2h2”
Pak.
The longsword was driven into the rock.
While the jewel on the handle end glowed with a subtle red light, Hurtlocker knelt down and coughed while holding the sword.
From the inside of his throat, blood was constantly spurting out, mixed with saliva.
Wielding a sword and wreaking havoc in this place where just being still was painful enough made it even more strange to not put too much strain on the body.
It was clear that something was wrong with his lungs.
The blood seemed to boil from the inside of his throat every time he breathed.
Now, the airway is blocked by blood scabs, and it has reached a point where it is even more difficult to breathe.
“Is it still…?”
Hurlocker looked down at the cliff and burst into laughter.
There were still countless monsters climbing the cliffs with sharp claws.
It seems that close to a hundred people have already been cut down, but the number still remaining is in the hundreds… No, thousands.
“Huh. f*ck. Why on earth do you trust suspicious guys like demons…”
They must have been human once too.
As a result of being deceived by the flattering rumor that a paradise would open up if Mine wins, he eventually became a monster who lost his reason.
Heart Locker even felt a little pity.
In the early days, it was said that he healed sick people by sharing the power of demons and seduced Asylum.
Hagi article I thought that a Mine who performed a ‘miracle’ in person might look more amazing than a god who never answers even if I pray for a lifetime.
‘It’s time to pay the price, fools.’
Ignorance is a sin.
Because they were foolish and foolish, they were deceived and met with such miserable words.
Now was the time to make them pay the price.
Hurlocker groaned and pulled out the Judgment Day again.
His legs faltered, but he was still able to stand.
In the future, at least 100 people, no, 100 more will be able to catch and defeat.
“Finish it quickly! Damn Schluss Heinkel! hehehe!”
Even that much time would be enough for Schluss Heinkel.
Hurlocker let out a roar and coughed up blood.
I could see dirty claws coming up the cliff.
The second wave was coming.
There will be no rest time from now on.
‘It’s such a f*cking place…’
If you dig in a place where no one can come, who the hell will come to the tomb?
Hurlocker smiled and gripped the sword tightly with his numb hand.
And then, just as he was about to swing his sword at the black monster running ahead-
Sparkling······!
A purple light was cast everywhere along with a terrifying sound.
In an instant, a pillar emitting light bright enough to create an illusion that it was daytime was pierced in front of my nose.
Just before the Day of Judgment reached the monster, the electric shock that struck it instantly turned it into pure white ash.
Pajijijik······!
That wasn’t the end.
The electric pole split into two branches from him, and the two branches branched into four branches… It extended infinitely and attacked the swarm of monsters that were constantly coming from behind.
In an instant, the entire cliff was filled with blue light.
It was a sight that made me feel deja vu, as if I had seen it somewhere before.
Kurrureung·······!
A majestic thunder rang out belatedly.
After the electric shock that pierced them one after another like skewers stopped, the surroundings had already become pitch black again.
The monsters that climbed up the cliff and attacked Heart Locker fell one by one.
“Oh.”
Hurt Locker couldn’t help but exclaim as he walked to the edge of the cliff with wobbly legs.
It was a roar and vibration as if a landslide had occurred.
The corpse of the monster that was climbing the cliff was rolling down all at once, creating a magnificent view.
As you go to the end, the firepower of the lightning decreases exponentially, so there must have been many living monsters at the bottom, but it didn’t matter.
No one can survive being swept away by that wave of corpses.
“Ugh…”
Having thrown down Doomsday, the Heartlocker slumped over a cliff.
Then I looked far away, in the direction of the institution.
Although the clouds were thick, I couldn’t see anything.
“Anyway, damn wizards… They’re filthy gloomy…”
It seemed that the source of the electric shock could be known just by the purple light.
It was clear that he had squeezed out the last remaining power from Durandal and projected it.
The Hurt Locker laid back with a smile mixed with resentment, saying, “If you’re going to shoot, I’ll shoot you sooner.”
I closed my eyes with the thought that if I slept for a while, Schluss Heinkel would pick it up on its own.
***
The traveler is dead.
Alexia could feel it with her skin.
Because the grip was getting stronger in real time.
The power of a demon who lost its owner was automatically recovered in this body.
Now I am completely alone.
Alexia closed her eyes once, then opened them.
“Will it really work?”
Alexia raised her head and looked up at the huge stone statue in front of her.
The absolute being called Aegis by humans.
In other words, it was God.
Until yesterday, the existence of God was unclear.
But things were different now.
The traveler’s plan was absurd.
Let’s borrow the power of the absolute.
That was the traveler’s plan.
If there exists a world in another dimension and there is a being in a higher dimension that can open a passage connecting that dimension, what is it but God?
It was certain that they could exercise absolute influence, at least in the lower dimensions.
Something like that definitely existed.
The traveler tried to contact him.
The traveler guessed that the pouring in of various objects from another dimension was a response to someone’s request, not a simple entertainment from the Absolute.
In that case, it means that it is possible to trade with the absolute.
By paying the price on this side, you can get something equivalent from the Absolute.
The traveler did not doubt that.
Thousands of human souls were sent up as sacrifices.
I killed all the people of that miserable fate in the closest place to the sky.
However, it was unknown whether those souls really went to the Absolute.
From now on, all I can do is pray endlessly.
That was really all.
Koo Goong······!
“Oh?”
At that moment, the answer came back.
.
.
.
“Alexia.”
“Are you here?”
Alexia faced me with her thin smile on her face.
A solemn shrine.
There was no one else inside except me and Alexia.
At least there was no ambush.
“I’m sorry, Schluss. I’m going to give you an ordeal from now on.”
The moment Alexia’s voice resonated along the walls of the temple, goosebumps spread throughout her body.
At the same time, I was stretching her right arm behind her, instinctively getting ready for battle.
‘Ah. I don’t have barfe.’
I didn’t feel the tingling sensation coming from my right hand.
I am no longer the owner of Bape.
Remembering that fact, I clenched my fist with my right hand.

The Day of Judgment, which emitted magical waves, was neutralized by Heart Locker a long time ago.
I could see clearly without having to open the barrier anymore, so that was certain.
Now, it must be said that there will be no exhaustion due to all the mana being sucked into the barrier.
‘Ordeal?’
What is the ordeal Alexia is talking about?
I didn’t know what he was thinking about choosing a dead end like this as the arena for a fight.
I wouldn’t be able to use magic here because mana is scarce.
This meant that Alexia couldn’t use the barrier she was specializing in.
Only hand-to-hand combat using the body is possible.
There was no way that Alexia, knowing that, would have chosen this place to die quietly.
I was nervous until the very end, and I had to be nervous again.
“Did I betray you?”
“It’s not like that.”
I shook my head.
I fully expected Alexia’s betrayal.
Alexia was one of those people who saw right through me, so she must have had a premonition that I would one day annihilate all demons.
It was the right choice because I had no intention of actually keeping Alexia alive.
“Schlus. I have no intention of fighting.”
“Come now?”
You don’t intend to fight after being summoned here?
I wondered what the hell you were talking about.
I wonder if he intends to surrender his powers without hesitation?
“I intend to win without a fight.”
“Is there a way?”
“Yes. There is, Schluss. There is. The number of borrowing the power of the Absolute…”
Alexia walked towards me slowly.
It was a step that didn’t feel like a fight.
She thought about jumping right in and breaking her neck, but she didn’t want to let go of her feet.
It could be a trap, so we had to move carefully.
“Did you meet that absolute guy in your dream? It’s Gilmong.”
“I’m not talking about that, Schluss. I’ve had an encounter with a real higher dimension.”
“You must have.”
“He taught me. You are from another world.”
“·······?!”
What did you just say?
She was startled for a moment and her body trembled.
“So I begged. I begged to send you back to your original world. I did, but was refused. They said they couldn’t just send you back because it was a matter entangled in the contract.”
“·······.”
I have to admit.
Anyway, Alexia seemed to have succeeded in contacting the so-called god.
It was clear that she met the gnome who created this world at Ah-reum’s request and possessed me with the body of Schluss Heinkel.
“So I asked him to give you an ordeal.”
“Ordeal…?”
“Yes. See for yourself what kind of ordeal it is.”
“·······.”
Alexia, who walked slowly, was standing in front of my nose before I knew it.
Then he looked at me and slowly reached out to wrap his hand around my fist.
If you’re thinking of neutralizing your fists first, that’s a foolish decision.
Because my hands are strong enough to withstand a sniper cannon.
“What?!”
A completely unexpected thing happened.
Alexia closed her eyes and felt a tickling sensation in her hand.
I could feel it instinctively.
It was the power of the demons.
Alexia was passing on the demon’s power to me.
Everything without leaving anything behind.
“Huhhhhh?!”
Alexia, who poured out all her powers on me before I knew it, was sitting clinging to me.
I was afraid of Alexia, so I shook it off and stepped back.
Alexia was clutching her breasts in pain.
Has lost all demonic powers, and remains in a human body.
I couldn’t understand his intention at all, so I was so scared.
Why did you give up the power of a demon yourself?
‘Wait a minute. If this is the case…’
Am I the only Mine at this rate?
It is not to succeed in defeating all the demons in this world.
It was a little futile, but that was the end.
It had to be over.
That’s what the ending should be like.
“·······!”
At that moment, a bright window appeared in front of me.
It was a window that shared the same style as the quest window or shop window, but it was something I had never seen before.
My heart was pounding.
I began to read it step by step, starting with the top line.
[Congratulations. You have built an evil demon force to rule over humanity and become the only demon in the world. In this universe, there is nothing that can be called a threat to you who have obtained omnipotent power.]
[A special reward is given to you who reach the ending.]
[You can return to the original world at the time you possessed this world. Would you like to return?]
I ate and laughed.
How long have you been waiting for this moment?
How hard you fought to return to reality.
“I’m not going. I’m staying here.”
But I have made up my mind.
I can’t go back.
I’ve already done too much here.
I gave away too much affection.
I couldn’t just walk away now.
Even if I go back to the real world, I have nothing…
[······Conditions will be updated due to new contracts.]
“Huh?”
Then the screen crackled and the text began to change.
I slowly opened my mouth as I watched the changing sentences.
[You can return to the original world of the past 4 years from the time you possessed this world. Since then, ‘Han Ah-reum”s incurable disease has not manifested.]
Four years ago, the boy’s disease had not yet appeared.
So if he chooses to go back, he won’t get sick or die slowly.
And I, with that guy, once again…
[Are you sure you want to go back?]
I finally understood the meaning of the ordeal Alexia said.
Really, schluss? I think the choice is already decided right?
