Episode 154
44. Chapter of the Raid (4)
‘What happened?’
The Judiciary arrived earlier than expected, sending Nabe back.
The appearance of Seolbaek, who was almost in despair, was in a bizarre state.
Snow White’s naked body was covered with various patterns, engravings, and tattoos, but at first it was a ‘human body’.
But now, his whole body is almost crushed like a slime.
The upper body, which could recognize the shape, was still intact.
It is almost engulfed in darkness, as if life force is being eroded just by looking at it.
“God dwells in my body.”
Let her finish the spell that is like a flurry.
The sky literally shook.
After that, it was a series of incomprehensible events.
A divine light emanated from the rosary the judges had pulled out.
The power of the God of Light they serve.
The mysterious power called ‘Sacred Power’ is completely opposite to the Magi.
Not only that.
The weapons they were holding were made of holy water flowing from the central temple, and they were weapons with a strong divine power in themselves.
In Paradise Academia, there are no elections for heroes.
The swords the judges and paladins wielded were nothing but holy swords.
Those who destroy the evils of Magi and the world.
The shadow of the temple and the executioners who judged on behalf of the gods were not afraid of death.
But what not to be afraid of.
Winning is different.
“death.”
מוות .
At the beckoning of Snow White, the judges who rushed in with great force stopped.
Like fallen leaves in autumn, it curled up on the floor, pouring out thick blood.
A massacre that occurred in the blink of an eye.
“What is that? bug… … ?”
【No, it is not the warping of the world.】
Naturally, I thought it was a bug in such a heterogeneous scene.
Lioner corrected in a more tense voice than ever before.
【Thanatos. The god of death descended through that woman’s body as a medium.]
“What… … ?”
exactly. I could feel the immense power surrounding Snow White’s body.
It wasn’t ‘something’. An absolute power that a normal human can never reach.
Since he was a living being, it was the scent of death that made him feel uncomfortable instinctively.
Even as a player, I was instantly overwhelmed.
Is this really the power of the three great evil gods?
“X feet.”
Worst case.
Even if the story was twisted, it was too twisted.
Originally, Seolbaek was the fake final boss.
I had never imagined the development of Thanatos descending upon her… … !
【Take over the Judgment Office!! I don’t even have a jaw right now!]
The Lioner exclaimed urgently. I could sense the faint fear in his voice.
【I can’t win now. back off! Heroes must be summoned!]
It was a more serious reaction than when he faced the devil’s thoughts in the hidden place of Hisperif.
No, is it rather natural?
Last time, I thought of Azethos, one of the three evils that Rhona Aztel tried to force her to descend.
Even though he didn’t actually descend, and only saw a part of his body that had escaped from the imaginary space, he was purely overwhelmed and unable to do anything.
But now, even incompletely, the god came directly.
Compared to then, it was self-evident that the present is a much more serious and urgent situation.
“Everyone, step back!!”
But before I could even speak, it was Yelia who acted first.
Fortunately, she seemed to have judged the situation quickly.
The judges, who were about to give judgment while wielding sacred weapons, stopped all at once and backed away.
Indeed, it was a group movement like the Judiciary that absolutely obeyed orders.
But not everyone did.
“Children of light, come to me.”
“uh… … ?”
A judge who was at the forefront of Seol-baek’s voice approached Seol-baek.
Pupils released as if possessed.
“Hey!! stop!”
A few of my co-workers, who sensed something unusual, tried to stop it, though belatedly.
“You are saved by death.”
When Seolbaek lightly flicked his finger, the body of the other judges including him exploded! and exploded.
Red meat pieces were scattered terribly in all directions.
“Wow, quack… … Whoa, haha!”
Seolbaek’s twisted laughter echoed softly.
An ‘absolute power’ that simply takes people’s lives.
Is that the power of Thanatos?
“You will all be my servants here.”
It was then that Snow White, who was ruled by Thanatos, smiled broadly and was about to approach another judge.
flash!!!
A dazzling flash of light filled the space to the point where it was temporarily blinded.
“Another thing to ask for for me.”
When his view returned, he saw the figure of Yelia standing in front of Snow White.
“With the boldness and confidence you have given me, I will be able to overcome iniquity.”
Woong-woong-!
The condensed divine power from various places was absorbed by Elijah.
“That is the meaning of light!!”
A half-moon-shaped slash spread out.
The cold of death that filled the basement with the power of light was pushed away in an instant.
“Ahhh-!!”
Seolbaek, who was hit directly, let out a painful scream.
‘strong.’
Until now, only his fanatical aspect has been revealed, but Yelia is also a powerful enough to be called the final weapon of the temple.
Even on a paradise island full of prominent figures, he possessed a force comparable to that of a hero 300 years ago.

Maybe he could deal with Thanatos to some extent with a mere human body.Kagang!! Gaga Gaga!!!
Two silhouettes clashed fiercely in the hazy smoke.
Although the movement is vaguely visible, it is too fast to follow with the naked eye.
Even if I used 100% of the power of the Lioner, it was at a level that would catch up with me.
Even the judges, who say they can fly and long, couldn’t even dare to engage in the fight between Yelia and Seolbaek.
This was the overwhelming skill.
Indeed, it was an out-of-the-box existence that was treated as a strategic nucleus in the main story.
But the opponent is God.
Unlike the main story in which Illyana was sacrificed as a sacrifice, even if it is in a more imperfect state now.
It was a formidable enemy who wiped out all the expeditions sent directly from the temple.
I couldn’t accurately judge the situation because of the dust.
Judging by the shadows in the middle, Elijah was being pushed back little by little.
‘What? It’s definitely not enough with Yelliyah.’
Should I call Nabe again?
No, it was too afraid of the aftermath. Moreover, since Thanatos had descended, that power could not be called a mere magic.
Even if I call you, I don’t think Nabe will be of as much help as before.
I’m in a situation where I can’t do this or that, and I’m struggling with my head.
bang!
With a huge shock wave, Yeliya was thrown out of the dust.
She passed me by and slammed it hard against the wall.
“Yeliya-sama!!!”
It was a full moon.
The worn sacred armor was full of scars, and some parts could not withstand strong impact and were distorted.

More than anything.“Arm, Elijah! Arms?!”
The body parts that should have been there were gone. Blood was dripping from the torn section.
“Wow, whoops… … !”
Elijah staggered and stood up.
Although it was rapidly healing injuries by radiating overwhelming divine power.
It was clear that the situation was getting worse.
“Apostle.”
“Yes, Redeemer.”
“Please take good care of our Judiciary.”
“What do you mean?! no… … !!”
“Right now, we can’t win. But at the same time, Thanatos’ power is weakening.”
It was a forced advent without proper sacrifices, rituals, or procedures.
The force is much weaker, and there will certainly be a time limit.
“maybe… … You should try it in the next few hours. But if we retreat like this, tragedy will strike the whole of Paradise Island.”
Elijah’s red eyes flashed.
“I will remain and destroy these ruins. Then even Thanatos will not be able to get out.”
It was the best way for now.
If I had not been a player, I would have followed her in honor of her noble sacrifice.
But I know what the future holds.
The advent of Thanatos is also important, but Elijah had to stand at the forefront in the final battle.
Ultimately, it is unavoidable.
I pulled out a yam and stood right next to her.
“Still not. As an apostle, it is a command. Elijah-sama must survive.”
“Apostle Baek Sanwoo… … .”
It had to be down anyway.
gulp.
As I swallowed dry saliva, my rough throat stinged.
I knew that Snow White would be the last, but I’m going to fight the final boss battle like this.
“Heh heh.”
As I lowered it, the dust that had been darkened with the sound of laughter was lifted.
Snow White appeared.
To be precise, she couldn’t even be called Snow White anymore.
It only forms a shape similar to ‘human’.
Both mind and body were eroded by the death Thanatos possessed.
It has been a long time since I became a non-living being even though I was alive.
“Jeliya, the Redeemer of Light. And next to you… … .”
“Apostle of light.”
“Apostle of Light? ha ha ha. you mean?”
Thanatos scoffs.
He was the god of death who temporarily descended on the earth in exchange for a human body.
His eyes were empty.
“Some strange power exists, but it’s not the power of light.”
“You know what you are going to do? you achieve nothing more Because all of your members are dead.”
“Yes, yes… … . They are like poor children.”
Thanatos nodded slowly and looked around.
“But I got rest. Those children are now in my arms. I don’t know how long it will take to get down here again… … .”
I could see the shape of a huge grim reaper standing behind the shell.
That’s the body of Thanatos.
It would only be an illusion, but that alone was enough to corrode people’s minds.
“You should take them too.”
“ね.”
“Are you afraid? There is no need to be afraid.”
Thanatos’s form flickered. The guy was very happy.
“Accept death.”
לקבל מוות .
Hwaak, Thanatos’s black hand was stretched out in all directions.
“Stand back!!”
Yeliya swung her scythe, striking some of her hands, but was unable to block all attacks.
Quad Duk, clang!
As death seizes her legs, the sacred barriers she was wearing are simply shattered.
If I hadn’t wielded the yam at the right time, I would have been hit without a hitch.
“oh… … !?”
“Be careful with that one!”
“Sin, sorry!”
“Don’t worry about it, trust me here.”
I pushed Elijah back and moved forward.
I don’t know if I’m talented enough to work with her.
In the gap that widened this much, they only held each other’s ankles.
so.
I have no choice but to use my method here.
“I am equal to everyone. Whether it is the Redeemer of Light or my saint, death does not discriminate.”
Thanatos’ eyes were fixed on me.
“So are you.”
The black hands rushed in front of me as if they were going to take their lives at any moment.
But do not block or avoid it.
Instead, I just lightly tapped the unfolded status window.
『Bug Occurred / System Error ERROR CODE: 831A』
A familiar message pings.
The world stopped…
