238 – The Brightest Darkness – 3
It was a powerful attack that would have me bewildered after using it, but the person who took the direct hit was moving very well. The scales were not even scorched, let alone damaged.
‘If I just did that, I think I’d have finished all of them in one shot.’
I’m not sure if there was no skill in the brunei series to blow the weapon’s enchanted attribute like a sword, but it was clear that the actual power would be similar to what it looks like on the outside.
By the way, that guy didn’t react even after being hit with it. I wondered if I was invincible until I unlocked a certain gimmick as it was in the game.
If it’s real, it’ll be a little more difficult.
While I was calculating a method in my head, it flapped its wings and charged. As he simply flew, the ground cracked apart and the space around him twisted as well.
I was dumbfounded when I saw that. He’s not even attacking, he’s just moving around and he’s getting squished?
Whether I am dumbfounded or not, the distance has narrowed in an instant. A large body came close to me. Its snout was wide open.
An action that flies in front of the player and opens its mouth. I’ve seen it somewhere Because it was the same pattern that appeared in the game.
‘Anything else, why does he look the same as the game?’
My body moved first instead of my head, which was unable to react properly due to a sudden question. Just like in the game, it rolled diagonally out of the way.
The difference is that his body is absurdly large compared to the game, and the distance I rolled was too long to even compare to the game.
As I tumbled out with my left forepaw, the body of the giant followed intact. His upper body twisted, his neck twisted and his snout pointed at me. It was incredibly fast for its size.
The right foot was swung. Common sense made it impossible for me to block that attack. There’s a gap between that guy’s size and mine, on the level of a mosquito and a human.
However, the word common sense has already been denied numerous times. I planted my sword in the ground and bent the handle towards me. So that the blade of the sword touches the World Eater’s paw first.
Then he gave strength to his legs.
ㅡQuad Deuk!
Its front paws plowed the ground nearby, colliding with the wingless Nightmare. Despite the situation in which it would not have been strange if it exploded at the moment of contact, the nightmare that had lost its wings withstood the pressure.
Me too. I felt a tingling sensation in my arm, but not a single step was pushed back.

Instead, the ground behind me exploded. I heard the sound of everything collapsing and being destroyed behind my back. As the sound died down, a cool breeze blew.
I glanced behind me. Even though the giant trees were uprooted and overturned, the place that maintained its original shape as a forest became a huge valley of unfathomable depth.
The cliff marking the beginning of the valley was in contact with my heel. If I had been pushed one more step, no, even half a step, I would have fallen into an abyss where I could not even see the bottom.
‘I can’t handle this scale.’
The strength went into my legs.
A battle in which a valley of that scale was created with just one swing of an arm, and space was shaken by moving the body. This one was far from my taste.
‘Is it still far?’
I looked at the place where the goddess was. What was she doing, she sat there and pursed her lips. She seemed to be saying something.
At the time I began to slowly push his forepaws away with strength, the goddess opened her eyes. A strange pattern was drawn in the golden and silver pupils.
It was the same pattern as the cross-shaped accessory hanging in front of the belly. When I first saw it, there was nothing like that. What is it?
That strange appearance did not last long. Because as soon as the goddess blinked her eyes, she was back to her original form.
“You! I’ll help too!”
The goddess who restored her pupils to their original state said so and increased her divine power. Her right hand was golden and her left was silver, like the color of her eyes and her jewelry.
As the light spread, the world began to be restored. Spaces that had been scattered in pieces gathered together, and the endless valley was filled with the ground again.
At the gesture of the goddess, the world eater’s body was covered with her divine power. He took advantage of the moment when he moved his body annoyedly and quickly stepped back. As soon as I got out, the group of lights broke into pieces.
Another divine power immediately filled her place. From the beginning, it seemed that it was used with the premise that it would be destroyed in one fell swoop. It wouldn’t do any damage, but it seemed like enough to buy me time.
“Are you okay? Where are you injured?”
The goddess came to my side as I was catching my breath for a moment. The cloth covering her breasts and genitals was still only rustling in the wind.
Judging by the fact that it was faithful to the purpose of not revealing important parts, it seemed that the clothes were suitable at this point.
“It’s okay. Not yet. It’s because I only exchanged one attack with him.”
“I’m glad. From now on, I will help too.”
A look of sincere relief flashed across her face. I asked the sight she had just seen while bursting with her roar and annoyed by her divine power that the World Eater clings to even if it breaks.
“I have a question for you, what were you doing just now? A strange pattern appeared in her eyes. That…… The same pattern as the one on the front of the belly.”
“Oh, you mean this in front of my womb?”
Collock, I sneezed at the words of the goddess who had no filter whatsoever. I’m going to talk her out of it here and there. Do you have a feeling of shame?
“Yes. Anyway, that’s right.”
“I gave a revelation to people who believe in me.”
“Are you there?”
The goddess did not give her answer, but she opened a silver veil and sent it down to the World Eater. It emitted jet-black breath and melted the veil at once.
Certainly, it was a level of power that would be treated like the holy power of the popes, but in front of the world eater, it was nothing more than a wet tissue paper.
“Although there are many restrictions because he has lost most of his power, it is possible to see a fragmentary future. I made a revelation for that future.”
For the sake of the future, do the popes have anything else to do?
“Then do you know if I can kill him now?”
“It is…….”
As the goddess muffled her words, her tremendous roar came rushing in. The world, which had at best regained its original form, was once again scattered and shattered into pieces.
There was only a handful of land left where the goddess and I were stepping. Everything else fell into the endless abyss.
The Eater of Worlds clashed its teeth in annoyance. The guy was obviously mad. A bloody aura lingered in the red vertical pupil.
“Avoid. I will assist you with your movements!”
With those words, he charged at unbelievable speed. He inadvertently stepped out, and the soles of his shoes naturally trampled the empty air.
There was no time to be surprised by the fact that it was floating in the air. Immediately, the attack of the World Eater came in. The snout vigorously chewed on the vacant seat I had jumped out of.
Golden and silver lights flashed around its tail, but it relentlessly attacked only me. She seemed to have no interest in the goddess at all.
Perhaps it was to kill me first and mock the goddess. If I die first, the goddess will despair even more deeply.
In addition to that, it could be because the goddess’ attack didn’t do any real damage. No matter how purposeful it is, it will be difficult to target me first even in a situation where you are hurt.
—-I don’t know about that either. And everything related to that. Because it’s already out of my hands. So, we don’t know about the possibility of killing him.
A voice came into my head.
—-However, I saw a future related to you.
A jet-black breath flew in. Through the dragon language, he gave the order to disperse. The approaching breath, melting all things, scattered powerlessly.
ㅡYou will fall to the ground.
“Stella, a revelation has come down from the sun.”
“Selene, a revelation has come down from the moon.”
The Popes, who urgently called the Heretic Judge and Inquisitor, announced that a revelation had arrived from their respective gods. When Stella heard that, she tilted her head.
“What kind of revelation do you want?”
“This is a revelation that includes not only our Pope, but you as well.”
Selene asked back with a puzzled expression.
“You included us…… Did you?”
“Yes, Heretic Questioner. That’s right.”
“Have you already interpreted the revelation? I feel that it hasn’t been long since God responded.”
“This time, it was very short and concise, so it was easy to interpret. I will tell you, so pay attention.”
Stella and Selene briefly crossed their heads and nodded. Both of them are confident that they are second to none except the Pope in terms of their religious beliefs. His expression instantly became serious.
Floretta moved the relic in her hand slightly. A golden glow enveloped the four of them. When the halo of light dissipated, all four of them had arrived at a desolate hill.
It was a place containing the legend that someday a divine light would descend upon this place.
“It was a revelation to go here.”
“To this place…… You mean?”
Selene’s face was full of questions, but the questions didn’t last long.
Four people hardened their expressions at the same time.
“Did you come first?”
“Can’t we just shut ourselves up in this situation?”
At that time, Kai Killia sensed something unusual about her and climbed to the top of her mage tower. In her place was Minerva, who had arrived long before and looked up at the sky.
“This is not like you, Minerva. It’s been a while since she found the ancient scroll, so she goes out that often. I was determined that I wouldn’t be able to see you open for about a month.”
“It’s not just me. Kai Killia, you said that the child was locked in the room, wouldn’t she have marched right in front of him?”
“…… I will not deny it.”
The two of them looked up at the sky again without asking anyone first. I felt very, very strange. That, too, is in a very bad way.
The golden pupil looked downward for a moment. The Knights of the Silver Dawn and the Knights, now completely disbanded and absorbed into the Knights of the Jet Dark Night, were looking up at the sky side by side.
Where is that? It wasn’t the imperial palace maids, of course, but even the guards. Anyone with eyes had their gaze turned toward the sky.
While Kai Killia frowned at the alien appearance, Minerva used her magic to scan the nearby cities. He also looked no different.
All the citizens of the empire shuddered at the ominous energy and huddled together, groaning, instinctively looking up at the sky.
After ending sight sharing, Minerva made a rare serious expression.
“This is absurd again. All cities are in this state.”
“You mean it’s not limited to the imperial palace?”
“I simply looked at about 100 places, but they are all like that. I don’t know what the Holy Kingdom is like, but it must be assumed that the entire empire is within the sphere of influence of that strange aura.”
“…… I understand.”
It was around the time Cecilia was thinking about the next order.
The sky literally started to vibrate.
Caecilia and Minerva are ready to fight, no matter who comes first. Something unusual was happening. Neither the land nor the sea, but the sky shaking?
“Minerva.”
“I want to tell you, child.”
“Immediately, with the authority of the emperor, issue an evacuation order and tell all knights to prepare for battle. All the wizards of the Mage Tower would have to be mobilized as well. It must not be a normal thing.”
“Okay.”
While Minerva unfolded her magic circle, Kai Kilia summoned her holy sword in her right hand. A holy sword that has been transformed into a luxurious ceremonial sword, completely different from the clunky halo of light so far.
Even Caicilia, the owner of the holy sword, had never known that she could draw such power, but Delta was calm even after seeing this. As if she knew from the beginning.
In the first place, even the fact that the Holy Sword had changed this way was after she became fully conscious of that man, so no matter how much Kai Killia thought about it, she couldn’t shake the thought that she had truly been defeated.
And then, she thought of telling Minerva that if one day there was a man who would surpass her, she would serve her with all her heart and soul.
“… ….”
Kai Killia bit her lip and tried to focus on the situation in front of her. Maybe someday, but not right now. She hadn’t recognized the man yet.
The fact that if she had been herself in the past, she would not have even assumed that ‘someday’ would be the case.
“Kihihi, it finally started.”
“Is it starting? What?”
Nyx muttered quietly as he opened the window in his room and looked up at the sky. Below, knights dressed as bunny girls were wandering around as a group.
“You don’t have to know.”
“Profit! Will you keep doing that?”
Kyx tugged at both cheeks. The fight with himself that started like that continued for a long time, and in the end it was Knicks who lost. Nyx grabbed the cheek that turned red and cried.
“It hurts… ….”
“I am sick too. Kihehehe, aren’t you stupid? You’re me, so you pull your cheeks like that?”

The second game immediately took place.
Around the time Nix’s body was turning red due to the fight between Nix and Nix, the reverberation in the sky began to intensify.
It was such a big vibration that I wondered if someone was holding onto the sky and shaking it. The two naturally stopped moving, and the swelling of the skin was subdued with magic.
“…… What is it?”
“Okay. Maybe someone is fighting.”
“Fight? Who? With who?”
Nyx wasn’t surprised when he heard that the sky was shaking in the aftermath of the fight. Because I knew four people who could do that right away.
The Emperor, the Eternal Wizard, and the Popes of the Holy Land. All of them were people who reached the realm of post-humanity.
I would think differently if I knew that all the people on that list were laughing together while watching that, but at least that’s how it is now that I don’t know the scale of the anomaly.
The only question left is why did they fight in this area? Of course, the neighborhood referred to here was a distance enough to feel the aftermath without being able to see the fight.
“Kee-hee, would I have been here if I had known that?”
Nyx gave a sullen laugh. Nick puffed out his cheeks.
Yes, Nix does not know the outcome.
All I could do right now was a prayer that I had to swallow in my heart without revealing it to anyone.
