234 – Enlightenment
Shiron headed to where Kihara was without worrying about what anyone would say. Even though it was my first time visiting the underwater city as well as the sea, there was no problem with his guidance.
He can see through the complex cityscape like the palm of his hand, and easily eludes troops who are on alert.
However, I didn’t necessarily choose the option of throwing out in every situation, but if I had to fight, I didn’t avoid it and defeated the minions.
Lucia feels complicated emotions from that sight. Should I say it’s a relief? Perhaps Siron’s trustworthiness may have further increased his favorability.
However, unlike Lucia, who has feelings beyond a crush, Seira feels only one thing.
longing.
Every time Seira goes on an adventure with Siron, she ends up recalling some of the most powerful memories of her life.
-Crossing mountains is inefficient. So, let’s go through the nearby labyrinth. Everyone has no complaints, right?
-Be diligent. When did you investigate the existence of a labyrinth around here?
-……Because I’m a genius!
-Yura?
-Why Andrzej?
-There is a disease that searches for your dead mother when you enter that labyrinth. I think that’s it for me.
-Wouldn’t it be okay to knock him out and carry him on his back?
-Then Kylie… Ah! no. We’ll go to the other side first, then Seira will teleport and bring us. that would be efficient
‘…Is it because the kid named Kylie? ‘It reminds me of the old days.’
Even though a bloody battle was taking place, Seira smiled proudly. If someone didn’t know the circumstances, he would have been treated as an elf with a strange head, but even so, laughter kept coming out.
Seira was so happy right now that she didn’t even have to worry about the curse.
In a past life where I couldn’t build new relationships and overshadow memories, I’m finally turning the next page and painting a new picture.
‘If the little girl was really Kylie…’
However, in the meantime, my eyes caught the page I had already turned. I wish I had at least one friend alive to look at the pictures we drew together and reminisce about them.
‘They say elves who leave the forest are prone to depression, and that’s what they were saying.’
Seira shook her head and tried to shake off her already dead colleague. Now that she has a new colleague by her side, we must draw the next picture together.
It is not easy to concentrate on a work in progress, and Seira thought it was rude of him to overlap Siron and Yura and to wonder what it would have been like if Siron had been Kylie.
The thoughts stopped as soon as the theory stopped.
“Seira.”
A temple that was hard to believe was under the sea filled my eyes. After washing off the blood from the holy sword, Siron sensed a gritty aura there.
“Let’s blow up the entire temple.”
“Aren’t you going to go in?”
“I don’t know Kihara’s thoughts in detail, but I’m sure he has feelings for me, right?”
Siron glanced at Lucia and then gazed at the temple again.
“If it’s clear that you have feelings for this person, you should use that feeling.”
“I was feeling left out because there was no time for me to come forward, but ugh! I’m glad.”
Seira stretched and drew her staff in the air a couple of times. Then, a light dark blue film appears.
With this, until the magic is completed, Kihara won’t find out about our murderous intent.
While Seira prepared the magic, Shiron also prepared the magic. I like the fact that you can’t get the same effect with box fighting or swordsmanship by working together, but that’s not the case with magic.
The more people who can use magic, the better. It is common sense that when ten magicians gather, the efficiency is 10, and when a thousand magicians gather, the efficiency is 1000, or more.
Lucia also used mana and sent magic.
A clear presence felt from inside the magnificent temple. The presence of Kihara, who had not been able to finish hundreds of years ago, was clear.
‘As expected, I’ve become stronger.’
From the time she confirmed her existence from Yuma, Lucia did not expect Kihara to simply play and eat for hundreds of years.
500 years is that long. It takes more than enough time to heal injured limbs, and the lifespan of a high-ranking demon is infinitely long by human standards.
Unlike humans, who only have a short life of 100 years, which can be considered their prime, a demon’s prime lasts forever after reaching adulthood.
‘I have become stronger, but I am weaker than the Demon God.’
So, it is worth doing even in the unfavorable environment of the sea. As Lucia’s Danjeon heated up, a red circle surrounded the temple, and Seira separated the area around the temple, sealing off Kihara’s escape.
Siron raised his arms and caused the volcano to explode. Coo goo goo goo goong! A huge aquarium is filled with red lava. The temple could not withstand the overwhelming firepower. The lava rising from deep underground engulfed the temple from its roots, and the sea water within the transparent barrier began to boil.
Quarrr-
After all, playing with fire that is not cemented by a relationship can easily cool down. A distinct sense of life is added to the presence felt from within.
His obsession, which was directed solely towards Siron, became murderous and jealous, and he tried to tear the translucent barrier apart.
‘It’s sturdy.’
Siron added one more magic to it. Black lightning derived from Seira’s purple lightning. A means to break the flesh and make Kihara die peacefully in the barrier.
“When did you learn magic again?”
Kihara grinned as he watched the flesh burst and recover again and again. I haven’t felt pain since I received godhood, but now I can fully feel the hot and thrilling sensations.
“I have prepared a welcome…”
If this is the case, there is no reward in preparing. Kihara gave up her regrets about the dress that had turned into ashes and took a step forward.
What stopped her arrogant steps was a translucent wall that only got in the way of achieving her goal.
The fire bursting from below burned Kihara’s body, but it recovered at a barely even pace.
Therefore, Kihara did not feel the need to rush. So, I slowly stretched out my hand and changed the flow of lava.
It is a by-product of exploding to kill her, but it is not that difficult if she has powers. The gushing lava flow became faster, and Kihara pointed to a spot with his completely exploded finger.
So one, two.
Bubbles form on the surface of the barrier.
A liquid with a mass several times that of seawater contained hundreds of times more heat and concentrated tens of thousands of times more force.
“woah.”
Seira was the first to notice the abnormality. Even though it was not enough to regenerate the parts that had begun to deform and were reinforced, the power pouring from inside showed no signs of abating.
“I don’t think I can last much longer.”
“I never thought I would die from this.”
But the magic doesn’t stop. Rather, Shiron raised mana even more, and focused more on driving lightning instead of lava, which changed the flow at will.
Lucia, on the other hand, gave up magic. Instead, he pulled Sirius out of the sheath with an oblique line. In the first place, her organs were not magic, and she instinctively knew that magic that could not break the barrier could never kill Kihara.
so,
As soon as Lucia saw the cobweb-like gold, she raised her sword. A sword made of stars was surrounded by a brilliant sword river, and a miracle occurred when the dark sea split in half.
The stone pillar, which couldn’t be called a temple now, slid and shook the ground.
But no screams were heard. Sensing an enormous amount of death, Kihara jumped in front of Lucia’s nose and stretched out his hand.
“It’s down.”
Kihara, who was facing me right in front of me, was so hideous that it gave me goosebumps. As if the recovery couldn’t keep up with the repeated damage, the skin of the whole body peeled off and the muscles were clearly exposed.
The eyelids were gone, the eyeballs were fully visible, and the naked body could not evoke any feelings of shame or contempt.
“Ugh, gross.”
Lucia blocked the outstretched hand and spoke straight out of her disgust.
‘It smells delicious, though.’
Don’t say compliments that don’t need to be said out loud. He doesn’t even say that he will become stronger and better deal with him. All Lucia has to do is swing her sword as if scattering beams of light. Amid dozens or hundreds of artillery fires, sword strikes aimed to cut Kihara apart.
Kihara opened his recovered eyes. Red stab wounds are etched into the tattered skin. However, no pain was felt. The advantage of attaining godhood is that one’s essence is no longer dependent on the body.
No matter how much he was injured, Kihara’s movements never slowed down. Even when the dark depths of the sea were covered with her blood, she did not feel any discomfort such as dizziness.
So, it reacted without difficulty to other sword attacks coming from behind. Kihara’s power created an invisible blade.
The blade born from deep water is indistinguishable from its surroundings. It became completely one with the environment and became an invisible, intangible sword. Siron vaguely sensed the approaching death of dozens of enemies and fired several times more sword strikes.
However, this is not efficient. Pajik! Purple lightning surrounded Siron. Fortress of Lightning, Seira’s assistant is the first to catch the approaching blade.
The currents of trying to control the situation clash with each other. As Seira did, Siron took advantage of the opportunity to disrupt and twist the sea’s torrent and return it to nothingness.
However, Kihara was not the one to watch this quietly. She had the power to dominate, and the torrents that Seira’s intervention could not reach extended into dozens of branches.
Blood spreading in the dark, flashing light, a struggle to pierce him. The once calm sea turned into a more intense battlefield than ever before.
But even in the chaos, the tension of battle never lost its purpose.
“Huh.”
And at some point, Kihara’s momentum changed.
Grrr – Although her head was dizzy from the hand-to-hand combat accompanied by authority, her thinking was faster than ever before and she responded to the threat.
“You fight pretty well too. Is it because you’re a strong person? When we face each other, you actually seem…”
“Shut up because it stinks”
Lucia wondered if Kihara was intentionally pretending not to know.
But that couldn’t have been the case. Kihara was someone who couldn’t lie about his feelings, and it was true that he couldn’t even guess until the red-haired girl opened her mouth and revealed her sword attack.
‘No way, that can’t be happening.’
Kihara’s consciousness turned to Shiron behind him. The shining sword is held upright. On the other hand, the sword that Kihara and I are currently fighting with is of a type I have never seen before.
However, the flow is somewhat familiar.

Kihara expanded the space and pushed Lucia out. I swung hundreds of sword strikes to prevent the impact, twisting the flow, and surrounding myself with a mana shield. In that split second, Kihara was able to get to a place where he could see the two humans from a distance.
The posture of both holding the sword and extending the foot, both faces are distorted, but there are many subtle differences. And one of them… was that the vague sense of discomfort was becoming a spear that pierced Kihara.
“…Ahahahaha!”
Kihara touched her forehead. Lucia kicked the ground in an obvious gap.
“You…” Lucia jumped a distance that made her voice muffled and faced the creepy laugh head-on. The realization that immediately struck me was joy and excitement instead of anger. Kihara was presented with confusion mixed with many other emotions.
After all, you can’t do everything and you can’t know everything.
However, the qualifications and authority that have been raised to a higher level still remain.
Kihara broke one of his hands arbitrarily, creating a sticky darkness blocking Lucia.
