174. Day 4 (4) (art)
It has been quite a while since the fact that the surrounding area is a tropical rain forest has been out of the scope of cognition.
When I came to my senses, it was dark everywhere and the concepts of time and space were blurred.
It’s just that I’m tired and out of my mind… … . It was not such a concept.
It seemed that some kind of ‘power’ was working.
Yes, such as the ‘magic’ emitted by a transcendent being.
If the arrival of the great demons was near, it would not have been surprising if the distinction between time and space became blurry and delirium occurred.
More than anything else, if the target of Advent is the lord of ‘false’, it is all the more natural.
That existence that deceives everything is now deceiving my five senses. It is approaching little by little while I do not know it.
that was death
Death was right in front of me.
Argon, who had turned into a werewolf, was driving me to death with unbelievable strength.
Vicious claws that could easily cut through the skin of my stomach like tissue paper are flying toward my neck.
Oh, this is really dangerous.
‘I have to summon the Shadow Armor… … !’
Sensing a crisis, someone blocked the way between me and Argon right before I summoned the power I didn’t want to use.
“bell!!!”
I screamed out loud.
Die.
Argon’s claws tear Bell’s fragile body to pieces.
Then everything goes to waste.
Bell, who will make a great contribution to the subjugation of Thanatos in the future, should absolutely not die here and now.
The moment I concentrated my mind and tried to use my strength, a miracle appeared.
――!
An intense light that burned his eyeballs and evaporated all the moisture in his pupils was shot from the center of Bell’s outstretched arm.
I stared at the light so intense and holy for a while that I was mesmerized.
“ah.”
I’ve definitely seen this before.
In fact, if I had seen it often, it was a light I would have seen often.
The absolute ruler of this world, the true Deus Ex Machina.
Because it was a torch from the god of light.
… … Bell woke up.
After a long silence, the god of light responded to Bell. It was the moment when she was reborn as a true saintess candidate.
I never thought that would be the moment when I rushed to save me.
“Quaaagh!”
The werewolf struggled in pain. He grabbed his eyes, and in agony crashed into trees and rocks.
Dare to live in the dark, it is the light that cannot even be seen, so it has become blind.
“This is nonsense! Kreuk.”
Argon bleeds from his eyes, mouth and ears. He was in pain and barely opened one eye. Even that was burnt and the light was fading.
He didn’t take his eyes off Bell, even though the tears were flowing. While hating the existence that blinded him, he clearly imprinted it in his eyes and brain.
“Kreur… … .”
Unknowingly, Argon, who was spitting out animal sounds, was slowly returning to his human form.
Then I felt something strange.
“Oh, no.”
He rubbed his face back and forth with the feeling of his palm returning. There was a clear expression of bewilderment, as if something had gone wrong.
burned all over The part where the torch was hit directly was scorched to the point that it was difficult to recognize the shape.
“Ah ah ah ah ah–!”
One side was burnt out, and the other was sparsely covered with gross hair.
Burns on one side, beast on the other. It was hideous to look at.
“aaa, no! Eh, it can’t be like this!”
Realizing this, Argon ran away without looking back. As if he had lost his temper, he was a wolf, then a human, and disappeared into the darkness.
“… … .”
Fortunately, the crisis was out of the way.
Argon’s power was truly astonishing. If he had continued to fight, he would have had to wear the Shadow Armor. Still, victory was difficult to predict.
was most likely dead.
If Bell hadn’t saved me, I would have.
I quietly turned my head.
Bell stood at the end of her gaze. wearing a torch.
“bell.”
I quietly called her.
“… … Senior Aren?”
Belle opened her eyes wide and looked back at me.
Her appearance was slightly different.
The light of the torch was the light of the sun.
It has a very beautiful color, like platinum mixed with a little sunset.
Her hair color, resembling Iris, was beautiful, but her hair, which seemed to be dyed in sunlight, was also beautiful.
Yes, Bell has become a true saint now.
The stigma engraved on the back of her hand was proof of this.
If the followers had seen this, they would have shed tears of emotion and prayed.
“it’s okay?”
Even I was in awe, but I didn’t treat her as a saint.
What saved me just now was not the saintess, but Belle’s courage.
Bell awoke safely.
The process was a little different from what I thought, but the result is probably what matters.
Could this lighten her heart a little?
Fortunately, her expression looks very light unlike before.
“yes. How about senior Aren?”
“Thanks to. Thank you for saving me.”
Bell smiled.
I almost fell in love with that bright and loving smile.
“I’m glad… … .”
Bell sighs and exhales while drooping her shoulders.
It was difficult to imagine how great the burden must have been on my heart.
“Because I can help senior Aren.”
Bell brought her hands together to her chest as if she was genuinely happy. Looking at it like this, she really did look like a saint.
What you see in the game and what you see in real life are different.
Seeing her really wearing the torch, it seemed that a new sense of faith was born. Anyway, Bell’s existence is proof that there is an author called “God” in this world.
‘Good.’
Why didn’t God respond to her… … .
After Act 4, Bell’s monologue hints at the reason.
It was a common reason.
‘exam.’
It is a common material in the god of the earth and various media.
Literally, they test whether their lion is qualified and whether they are not shaken under any circumstances.
It was such a way to push it to the limit and find God.
It must have been the process of not lending her power to Bell, but making her seek answers on her own.
What the god of light wanted to test was, above all, her ‘sincerity’.
The desire to help others is a virtue that a saintess should have, or something.
The existence of the god of light seemed to pay more attention to his good heart than to his faith.
At the moment of desperation, it was like jumping to save me without caring about my own life.
Belle was chosen because of her kind heart.
“I… … I finally realized it.”
Bell smiled brightly and took a step closer to me. It was blinding. However, it wasn’t hot. Rather, it was just as warm as her kind heart.
Was a human being capable of such a beautiful smile?
A saintess is not a saint for nothing… … .
It was like a different race than me.
“When can I use my power?”
Bell’s realization cleansed my mind.
“Senior Aren.”
Bell took a step closer and lightly placed his hand on the back of my hand.
“It’s okay, I’m glad… … .”
“ah.”
After that, Bell closed her eyes as if she was slowly falling asleep.
Although it was a short moment, he used the power of an omnipotent being.
No matter how much she is a saint, she is just an ordinary human.
It must be that the human body could not handle the power of God.
I grabbed the back of the falling Bell. Oh yeah… … It was light.
Thinking of overcoming those difficult years with a weak body, I let out a sigh of pity.
Bell’s life is also a series of regrets.
It is said that she finally realized God’s will and awakened after years of endurance, but her journey was not yet over.
In the future, her path will be a series of hardships.
The fifth act of cataclysm awaited her.
Looking at the corrupt church and the corrupt pope, Belle Yirusi decides whether to quit her candidacy as a saint, or whether to take on everything and face evil and be born again as a true saint.
… … It will be a tough journey.
Well, I will always cheer for Belle.
that’s for later
I’ll have to deal with what’s happened to me right now.
He leaned the bell against a wooden pole. The heat of the rainforest and the cries of the animals were no longer there.
As if watching the saintess sleep with a reverent heart.
Bell collapsed from exhaustion, but her expression looked infinitely free.
It was like someone who had walked a very arduous road and had fallen into a peaceful sleep.
It held up well.
I watched her sleep for a moment.
“I am resting well.”
As if in response to my words, ‘Umm.’ Bell made a small noise and fell into a deeper sleep.
Both Cain and Bell are now out.
I was the only participant left. After many twists and turns, the moment I planned came.
I looked up and saw the trophy.
The trophy was calling out to me, shining brightly.
It is a brilliant light. The magical power of the trophy was great as it traveled all over the kingdom for many years and gathered magic from the powerful spirit vein.
… … Everyone falls in love with it, to the point where they want to touch it as if possessed.
“Shall we go soon?”
Even if you know it’s dangerous, the feeling of having to go is always heartbreaking.
The fact that if I don’t go, the demonization will progress and I will surely be destroyed made me suffocate.
Even at this moment, the horns were itchy, and Aren Blackfire’s original appearance was slowly disappearing.
I wasn’t sure what future awaited me at the end.
However, I started walking without fear.
Because there was only one thing that was certain.
‘… … I will win unconditionally.’
It was full of mana, magic, and energy.
The time has come.
I held the trophy in my hand without hesitation.
―――!
* * *
In an endless state of no beginning or end, Diamon, the lord of lies, was waiting for the day of resurrection to come someday.
Even thinking about the time when he was sealed away by a group of warriors a long time ago has become dull because he is tired of it.
just… … .
He only thought of finding a new vessel, descending into the world and bringing about destruction.
After a very long wait, I found a suitable bowl.
Aren Blackfire.
When that human appeared in the world, Diamon was delighted. I finally found the right person for me.
The plan worked covertly and perfectly.
And finally the time has come.
There were some setbacks, but fully ripe fruits finally appeared in front of my eyes.
“… … I waited long. It is my vessel.”
Diamon hid his joy even at this moment. Even breathing is a lie.
“Diamon-sama.”
Aren lowered his head expressionlessly. However, inside, he was spitting out swear words.
Because it has changed since the last time I saw it.
If last time it was chained and burned, now it was the shape of an unknown woman on an inverted cross.
The woman’s belly was split open and her intestines were spilling out.
‘Bitch… … .’
It was an appearance that was instinctively rejected and felt unclean.
The Lord of Lies scorned Aren as if showing off.
Aren barely suppressed the urge to blow off that hateful face right away.
To deal with the Lord of Lies, you must remain vigilant and respond with lies.
If you reveal the truth even a little bit, your weakness will be caught and the number will be read. Then everything is silent.
You must hide your hand until the very end.
“Come closer. my bowl… … .”
As if echoing in the cave, dozens of voices were heard at different times. I felt like my head would explode with a headache just by hearing the voice.
Unlike the other two great demons that have now disappeared, it has the most strength, so the pressure from Diamon is on a different level.
‘This is the power of the real great demon… … !’
Unlike the first time I saw it, I could definitely feel it because I was gradually showing off my strength.
“Yes.”
Aren barely endured the shaking of his legs and moved on.
I was alert and nervous because I didn’t know when and how Diamon’s power would go mad.
“It’s still a bit lacking.”
Diamon laughs wickedly while being turned upside down on a cross.
Aren looked away, not wanting to make eye contact.
The sight reached the woman’s split belly.
Maggots were wriggling in the bowels of the ‘Lord of Lies’. I wanted to vomit right away, but I tried my best to pretend nothing was wrong.
“Come closer. I will give you strength.”
Currently, the fate percentage of Aren’s Demon Cult is 95%.
To fill the remaining 5%, he called Aren. I was reluctant, but I couldn’t help it.
Aren willingly walked into Diamon’s mouth.
“Ugh, kuh!”
The moment our eyes met, a pain like an ice pick piercing Aren’s brain hit.
My mind was dizzy, and I couldn’t stand it, so I put my hands on the floor.
My head wasn’t cold, it felt like it was burning.
The power directly handed over by the hemp tribe was truly transcendent.
If it hadn’t been for the fate of worshiping the demons, it wouldn’t be strange if his mind was destroyed and he lost his ego.
There was a bang, and an unbelievable amount of nosebleeds poured out.
‘sh*t… … .’
Let’s be patient a little longer. The end has come.
“Ego… … The time is ripe. give yourself up It is my vessel.”
Diamon’s voice penetrated Aren’s head. I felt like I was about to be blown away by a terrible hallucination.
“Ahh! Kkeuk… … !”
have to endure I have to endure and activate the spell to survive.
Pajik, snap!
The muscles of the body burst, and the bones break and then spread apart.
body… … is being transformed
The horns really grew like demons, and the skeleton grew grotesquely.
Aren’s appearance gradually changes to that of Diamon.
Its intestines split into countless prongs, wrapping themselves around Aren.
Gooey mucus and filthy blood were all over the body.
Aren’s skin melted as it was and began to become one with the intestines.
To be precise, his body was melting into Aren. Body and mind are polluted.
Ruin and darkness, evil and mage control Aren’s mind.
“Whoa, whoop whoop! finally… … !”
Diamon is excited.
Finally, loosen your poker face and be sure to win.
Aren did not miss that brief moment.
now is your chance.
Aren drew power through the remaining ego until the end.
Just-!
snap your fingers
The place where Aren is now is connected to the trophy.
In other words, the moment the spell is activated, this location is also affected.
The magic generated by the magic formula was a wave discovered by Shiana.
A special wave that shook the structure of demonic energy, divinity, or magical energy and separated only matter reached Diamon beyond the trophy.
―――!
Suddenly, Diamon’s entire body shook.
“Kuuu!”
Diamon was in pain.
The reaction comes. It definitely works!
Diamon’s appearance changed to that of a sick old man. The old man’s eyes shone fiercely.
“What are you doing… … ?”
An unbelievable level of heaviness oppressed his entire body. A fear I’ve never felt before.
However, you have to overcome.
right!
Once more.
The second spell is activated.

Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
The first spell is Siana’s wave magic.
The second technique is Lorena’s discovery, the summoning of a substance containing a liquid.
Water started pouring from the ceiling.
When Diamon’s body and soul were shaken, the separated soul gradually materialized and melted into the water.
“Quaaa! this worm! What are you doing right now!!!”
Diamon screams. This time in the form of a child.
Are you thinking of living with sympathy? Aren wasn’t shaken by that.
On the contrary, I was more alert to the disgust.
He threw all his strength to devour Aren’s body.
Magic power explodes.
trophy power.
Diamon’s soul energy.
The preparations are over.
Aren’s ego is now only a handful, no, a little more than that.
Aren manages to hold on to Asrai’s disappearing spirit and completes the final task.
“Be quiet and be my body!!!”
Just-!
“… … peel. this bastard.”
the world has turned
