Shar’kath opened his right hand, and cobwebs rose eerily from not only the fingertips, but also from his back and waist, wriggling like wings and tail.
Shar’kath was not in a hurry, nor was he impatient. I just walked along keeping the dignity of the old royalty.
But no one could stop their progress. In fact, except for a few people, they were seized by primal fear and couldn’t even move.
“The light of the island, Shalwen.”
Frisvia has directly excavated the artifacts of the gods, learned how to use them, and equipped them with them.
Now, the nuclear reactor that appeared as Frisvia’s mechanical breastplate opened left and right was one of those relics. The reactor, which was burning bright white, spewed out dazzling light in a straight line.
It was a legendary light that burned everything and turned everything to ashes, but with one wave of Shar’kath’s hand… … hmm?
Cha-cha-cha-cha-cha-cha-cha-chang—-!
The light bounced back and forth along the dozen or so strands of spider web, and three Ammon warriors and an adventurer were pierced by the light and died instantly.
“!”
Frisvia’s eyes widened slightly. Surprisingly, can that spider web deflect the very concept of force?
‘Hmm, if you check it yourself, you’ll know.’
Frisvia pounced on Shar’kath, dodging and dodging and dodging the webs that stretched out like tentacles.
“Then what if it’s close?”
He tried to kick Baek Do-ryeong’s head with his foot, but Shar’kath lightly extended his hand and was caught in vain.
However, as if even that was Frisvia’s plan, the cover on the knee gaiter was opened and the light was focused on the muzzle.
“Baptism of Dawnlight, Garinbella.”
Oh oh oh oh… … While warriors and adventurers admired its seasoned combat sense.
“It’s insignificant. The half creature created by Karenden.”
Frisvia’s legs, entangled in Shar’kas’s web, were forcibly twisted with the sound of her hips snapping, and the muzzle was directed at Frisvia.
Frisvia’s body must have been annihilated by the light fired while burning the atmosphere.
Had Frisbia not rolled backwards at that very moment, amputating her leg. Blood gushed out and the leg flew off.
“Everything, Captain!”
As the adventurers’ minions rushed forward to protect her, Shar’kath raised the corners of his mouth as if he remembered something very amusing.
“Okay, let’s play soldier for a while.”
Then, all of a sudden, half of the warriors and adventurers surrounding Baekdo-ryeong seemed to be moving their joints in a stiff motion.
“… … ?”
“… … ?”
“… … ?”
The next moment, they started attacking those who had just been friends, family, and colleagues. with a sad expression.
They were warriors who were accustomed to fighting the abyss, but in this situation… … .
When you die, the expression disappears from your face. The skin of the whole body rots and becomes brittle, and the king’s sign appears everywhere on the body.
That’s why you can knock it down without hesitation. Because I believe it is the path to rest.
But now this… … The one attacking him right in front of his eyes was undoubtedly alive. It is a friend who lives with reason.
「Ahahahaha, you always look spectacular… … !”
Amid Shar’kath’s vile laughter, beastmen’s claws pierced their friend’s heart and fangs bit their comrade’s neck.
It was the road to hell, the road to hell that was so devastating and cruel that I couldn’t even open my eyes and see it.
Those controlled by the spider’s web continued their mad rush without stopping even though their joints were dislocated or dislocated due to excessive movement.
“Alaqish-nim!”
When the blood soaking the snowy field spewed out fog, Griffion finally put the rain down on the ground. To be exact, in front of Arakish.
“Lee, Lane… … !”
Cassena, who had been watching the absurd scene with a demon-possessed expression, let out a devastated moan when she saw the body of the boy whose heart had been pierced.
“Where, where are you… … Lane, where is Lane’s forehead?」
Arakish’s vision was already so dark that he could not even tell his son-in-law apart.
Pipi flew in front of him with an urgent and earnest flapping of his wings, and the sound and heat guided Alaqish’s hand to Lane’s bedside.
Breathing in agony, Arakish kissed the dragon’s egg goodbye one last time, then laid his hand on Cassena’s head.
「Do not be sad. This is the last mission of Alaqish, which Karenden has decided… … .」
And after raising his last prayer to the sky, he kissed Lane’s forehead. There the miracle began.

Did the gods think the same while watching the scenery of dusk?
When I opened my eyes, which I thought would never open again, it was the world of twilight that warmly soaked my vision.
After coming to such a land from a cold, almost achromatic land, the sense of reality fades… … I’d like to say, but it’s a fairly familiar land.
‘Is it the Red Mountains?’
At least I can say it’s similar… … To come here at the last moment of my life, did I like this place enough to have a sense of nostalgia?
Not bad though.
In the midst of the warm spring sun, the trees chattering quietly, the insects chirping, and the birds chirping all felt like a chord.
“It’s not you, it’s the scenery of the homeland that this Arakish has always cherished and longed for.”
When the familiar voice returned, I looked back and smiled involuntarily. Alaqish was watching me in the lonely twilight.
“I must have liked Arakish more than I thought.”
“hmm?”
“I really liked this story because I lived through a rougher time than I thought. It is a story that when a person dies, the people who were there first come out to meet him.”
I’d be lying if I said I never stayed up all night thinking about who would come out.
If Lista had appeared, it would have been very noisy, what kind of life did you live, who did you like, what places did you visit… … I must have been asking endlessly about this and that, so I must have been exhausted first.
If Friede had appeared, he might have been startled by the way he had a few playful conversations and suddenly smiled, exhaling smoke from a cigarette and saying, “I lived my life hard!”
If Keith had come out, we would have laughed at each other for a long time, even if we didn’t say anything. Just like he did when he met Fifi.
If Turaina came out, it would be a bit difficult. The guy who was my disciple died after living over 300 years old and built a greater achievement than me. What did he say? We would have been ashamed of each other.
If the dean’s lady and the schoolmates had come together… … You may not have been able to hide your tears at that time.
“But Arakish is here. I couldn’t have imagined it, but it’s not bad.”
It was true that I felt deep regret when I thought of the things I hadn’t been able to say and the things I hadn’t done in this life, but it was also true that I felt a strange sense of relief that it was all over.
It’s over now.
now i can go
I didn’t know what I would hear if I had given up my life and followed them, so I gave up, but if this is the end… … .
“Your face is full of regret for the past life.”
“… … .”
「Quit it. I haven’t lived long enough to have those regrets yet.”
I thought it was an awkward pun and smiled, but there was no mischief in Arakish’s expression.
“You asked this Arakish to go down south with you, right? I heard you then… … I feel like I’ve been revived. A dying heart.”
“yes… … ?”
“To go south with my daughter, to my hometown where my people are. Just dreaming of it made me feel happy after a long time, hehehehe.”
When Arakish smiled brightly, for some reason, tears came to his eyes as well as heart-rending pain.
“This is a deal, Lane Ludwig. give you my soul Instead, can you actually show my daughter that dream?”
“Arakish, what now… … ?”
“It is you. You are the only person to entrust your daughter to. You were the only one who knew how to shed tears for the prisoners and told me to go south with you. Except for you, whom Karenden personally chose and called.”
After those words, Arakish’s outline became hazy like the fog in a dream.
No, it wasn’t just Arakish, but the twilight mountains, the entire hometown that Arakish missed all his life, began to blur.
There, only my form was intact, but there I felt a strange uneasiness and hurriedly called Arakish’s name.
“The name of this daughter of Arakish is Akiraea. means freedom. I leave everything to you now. So that the child can live a life worthy of his name… … .」
When that voice came out of his mouth, the world of dreams had vanished like the morning mist, and the cruel empire of snowfields had once again stretched out of control.
“lane… … .”
Cassena’s tearful voice awakened her hearing.
As if everything had been accomplished, the image of Cassena sobbing as she hugged Arakish with her eyes closed with a comfortable smile awakened her vision.
Then, the warmth of Pippi, who landed on his shoulder and rubbed his head while flapping his wings like crazy, awakened his tactile senses.
“ah… … .”
When I lowered my eyes blankly, I could see that the wound that was clearly pierced through my heart had completely healed.
And inside of it, I could clearly feel the beating of my heart, pulsating with a force I had never felt before.
The magic power circulating through the body was not cold as if it would freeze, but as hot as flames. The core of overwhelming and absolute power, unacceptable to humans, is sending transcendental energy through the whole body.
When I pressed my chest with my right hand, which had obviously been cut off, the terminal of a sad relationship leaked out in a quiet sob.
“Arakish… … .”
At that moment, the flames drew a long line in the air and soon gathered into a clear shape, revealing a mysterious appearance.
It was a stone scepter with four rings symbolizing the four forms of flame, a four-circle scepter.
The wand part glistened with a fleeting gray color like a heap of ashes, while the dragon-shaped iron part shone majestically like living flames, golden, then sparkling vermilion, then rippling crimson.
Yeouiju (如意珠).
It is an authority that Karenden breathed into the dragon’s soul when he created it, and it is said that the power within it is close to infinite.
The last step the Paquerios took when remodeling the human body was to receive this yeouiju from the yellow dragon and indulge it in their souls.
The moment I carefully stretched out my hand, trembling with grief, and grabbed that noble soul.
“… … Let’s fight together this time.”
Primordial flames erupted violently, igniting the dark clouds that rained endless snowstorms across this unholy empire and opening a path of light in the night sky.
「───?!」
The snow clouds that covered the sky were, of course, not a natural phenomenon, but the providence of power stemming from madness.
It was not something that could be consumed by human fire and not pierced by mortal light.
That is why, the moment he saw Lane step out of the raging flames, the smile disappeared from Shar’kath’s mouth and a shudder welled up in his mind.
“You bastard… … How are you alive?」
The boy did not respond to the empty question and answer. Instead, he only glanced around once.
With seven petals in full bloom, the eyes of the new drama.
Then, the spider webs that had been embroidering the air in uncountable numbers were entangled in flames… … The bodies of the warriors who had committed the tragedy of fratricide fell to the ground.
‘My powers in an instant… … ?’
He must have expended enough strength to burn that many spider webs, but why is there no sign of fatigue on his face?
I shouldn’t have been so upset.
The boy who put the stone of fire into the ground shouldn’t have given time to sign the transcendence.
“Image Building.”
There are three hand signs that can be built by holding hands reverently.
La (羅).
Police.
fire.
Just as light shines on a world of darkness, bright colors of light begin to devour the achromatic areas that dominated this vast white world.
From noble mtl dot com
“Hwagyeong: Yuyang Sejon (Fire Guard: Flow Weight World).”
First, a huge amount of mana was concentrated at high speed, and then a ring of flame centered on me spread out in a radius of 3 meters. And the rune of fire that is engraved in the center of it, scattering sparks.
“That letter must be from Karenden… … ?」
The eight elements that form the basis of magic are fire, water, earth, wind, ice, iron, poison, and brain. All of them also exist as runes themselves.
Combining magic with these runes, called ‘source runes’, grants transcendent attribute energy, but it was not a power that mortals dared to handle.
The only source rune that Rin could handle was the brain used for Brain Bleeding, and even the difficulty of using such a brain was child’s play compared to fire, the leader of the four major elements.
‘It’s because the amount of mana required by the source is unreasonably enormous… … .’
At the next moment, like fire spreading along oil, five triangles attached to the circle of fire rose sequentially from the flames.
flow.
Quantity.
three.
John.
Police.
For an instant, Shar’kath’s body froze as the primordial flames, roaring and flicking their tongues, illuminated the arctic of this sinister mystery into a nightless castle.
“Don’t miss it, Lane… … Right now, Shar’kath, the white sword, smells of fear!”
Griffion, who saw something in that series of actions, hurriedly shouted, and Cassena, who was staring blankly at the boy’s back, asked.
“The smell of fear?”
“It is something emitted by frightened prey. It’s something shed right before running away!”
All mortal beings are mere creatures swept away by the flow of cause and effect.
The immortal being who spins the wheel of cause and effect gave this Shar’kath the authority to reign at the pinnacle of all ecology.
That is a firm truth that no one on earth can deny… … Are you saying that I feel fear of such an insignificant creature?
「Who, whoop whoop whoop… … It’s nonsense. What about things that aren’t even bugs? Is this Shar’kath running away?」
Snap, squeak, squeak… … Suddenly, four pairs of grisly bones protruded from Shar’kath’s back, resembling spider feet.
A foul-smelling slime flowed from the four pairs of spider feet and shimmered like an evil shadow.
At the same time, the disgusting pale power of the absolute Abyss exploded, paralyzing the consciousness of all mortals around.
“If you are revived once, just kill it once more. It’s a simple matter.”
Primal horror was in front of him.
Horror took the form of a boy with slime that could corrupt and melt everything in the world at once.
A noble of a now forgotten era who was endowed with the power of transcendence by the old king… … .
“Close, Cheonrajimang (天羅蜘網).”
As the abominable power of denial divides into countless strands and roars, the space trembles, the heavens and the earth melt, and Mother Nature wails.
If it had been before, I wouldn’t have lasted even a second, but now I can see it. Now I can face that force.
In a sense of omnipotence as if swimming in a dream.
“Bell Curious.”
