Chapter 282 – 282. Assault on Purgatory
282. Assault on Purgatory
Dark night.
On a moonless night, a black transport plane crosses the sky.
A transport plane crossing the sky over where Purgatory is located. The lower part of it cracked open, and humans in black priestly clothes fell out.
They are the apostles of the Black Heavenly Church. They came to destroy Purgatory under the order of the saintess.
Haha! It’s been a long time since I’ve been in free fall. How refreshing!”
Like bombs, they fell without a parachute. In fact, in terms of risk, they would be several times more dangerous than bombs. At least the bomb only exploded once.
The apostles looked down as they fell. Purgatory is seen in the form of a giant tumor on the surface. However, the immediate goal is not purgatory. Their gaze was directed to the huge barrier surrounding Purgatory and the Hero Association’s branch connected to the barrier.
“Kamael!”
Haha, I know!”
A bald man called Kamael spread his arms wide. After activating his unique skill, his body began to swell and change.
Trans Form: Ice Spirit Glacier
In an instant, Kamael’s body changes into a block of ice over 10 meters tall. Shaped like an armadillo carved from glacial ice, he rolled his body to reduce air resistance and rushed towards the earth like a meteorite.
Huge chunks of ice weighing thousands of tons, simply being pulled by gravity, create more powerful destruction than any bomb. Even if not to the level that put an end to the age of dinosaurs, it will create destructive power equivalent to that of a nuclear bomb. Buildings built by humans will be easily demolished.
However, Kamael was not satisfied with this. He used magic to amplify his falling speed, and he fell to the ground even faster and heavier.
“Cheongeunchu!”
Wow!
Kamael’s body falling with amplified acceleration. He still hasn’t stopped. Because there was still one more way to increase the destructive power.
“You giant! Strength to the lowly servant!”
Hard.
The power of the giant god began to dwell in his body. His huge body began to grow larger and larger, nearly doubling in size. If the size doubles, the mass increases eight times. He rotated his enlarged body and fell to the ground as if he were acting as a god’s punishment.
Haha!!”
There is a roar that seems to break the air. The landscape of the ground covered by clouds is revealed. What he aims for is the barrier that surrounds Purgatory. Kamael, engulfed in flames created by frictional heat, crashed into the base built by the Hero Association.
“I’ll take you back to the Stone Age!”
Kwaaaaang!!!
An explosion accompanied by a roar lights up the dark night. The moment the huge burning ice mass collided with the ground, it created a mighty explosion and aftermath.
The ground is lifted around the point of impact and spreads like a tidal wave. The stone fragments lifted by the huge tsunami blasted out in all directions at terrifying speed, punching holes in buildings that were not swept away by the aftermath of the impact.
Some boulders soared into the air. The stone fragments that floated high into the sky were pulled back by gravity, causing secondary damage in a wide area. Boulders as small as a man’s fist and as large as a car rained down from the sky.
“Kyaaaaagh!!”
“What, what! It’s an attack!!”
“Quaaaaagh!!”
The screams of the survivors of the crash echoed. From their point of view, it was no different from a meteorite suddenly falling from the sky, and the manuals they were familiar with did not contain anything about meteorite impacts.
“Kuhhh… It hurts.”
At the time of the collision, Kamael’s body was not even safe. This is because the moment he collided with the base, his body was shattered just like the base.
However, that did not mean that Kamael was killed or injured. This is because simple physical force could not damage Kamael’s spiritized body.
Even if it has destructive power comparable to that of a nuclear bomb, unless it contains magical energy, the body of the spirit cannot inflict a single scratch. The shattered pieces of ice began to come together again, and they were quickly restored to their original state.
“Ha ha!! I descend!!”
Kamael, who stood up in the center of the crater, slammed the ground with his heavy legs, along with the lighthouse. He had been running wild for the first time in a long time, and the excitement was not going away.
A moment passed, and his comrades fell from the sky one by one. After falling over a huge crater, they rode on Kamael’s body and surveyed the scene of destruction.
“Are they all dead?”
“Can it be?”
Spirits aren’t the only ones who can be immune to attacks that don’t contain magical power. Those who could always protect themselves with magic would have been able to survive this scene of destruction.
“Dare!!”
“The surviving worms are crawling out.”
“Cheuk, if you calmly held your breath, your life would have been saved.”
As expected, survivors began to jump out of the wreckage. If they can survive a collision like this, they must all be A-class or higher. Seeing that there seemed to be dozens of such people, it was clear how important the place called Purgatory was to the Society.
“Hee, then should I loosen up too?”
One of the Dark Celestial Apostles riding on Kamael’s body fell down and blocked their way. He was a handsome boy with blond curly hair.
Looking roughly the age of a high school student, he reached out his hand into the air. As the space split, a huge, silvery-white greatsword protruded. The weapon bestowed by the saintess, Excalibur, appears with a resonant sound.
Arthur, the 12th apostle of Heukcheongyo.
He wielded an Excalibur that was bigger than his body and stood in front of the survivors. He smiled wryly at the Society’s survivors charging at him. Then, he grabbed the greatsword with both hands and swung it horizontally once.
“A slash, the punishment of waves.”
Huge slashes came pouring out from the tip of the sword like a hale. The slash, which had powerful magic power, gradually increased in size like a tsunami and attacked the survivors, and the bodies of the people caught in the slash were torn like paper.
“Aaaaa!!!”
“Monster, monster!”
“Run!! The opponent is at least S-class!”
“Puhaha, did you know that now, you assholes!”
If it was able to produce this level of destructive power, it would have been normal to have noticed that it was an S-class. It seemed that he was at peace for a while. Maybe it’s because I’ve seen so many captured S-class villains that my sense of reality is paralyzed.
Anyway, it was only after more than 10 people were killed in an instant that they realized the situation and started to run away. Arthur began to hunt down the humans who fled with bloody eyes.
“Where are you running?”
Each swing of his sword splits a human body in half. However, his slaughter did not last long. It was because the Excalibur he wielded was blocked by something.
“That’s it.”
“Ohh.”
Jjoong!
Arthur’s body is thrown backwards by the strong counter-resilience. Arthur lightly twisted his body and took a stance. He smiled and looked at the man who had blown him away. The figure of a man wearing a skull-shaped mask resembled a fairly famous hero.
“Death mask. Why is an American hero here?”
“It’s a mercenary.”
“Puha, you sound like a mercenary. Well, it looks like you came to have fun too, right?”
Everyone knows that Purgatory is also used as a playground for the upper class. One of those acquaintances, Arthur, scoffed at Deathmask’s excuse and brandished his sword. The Death Mask stood up to him, emitting black skulls without a word.
Whoa!
Powerful mana collides with each other, creating a pangong sound. Arthur laughed as he lightly parted the black skull clinging to his body. Excalibur burrowed into Death Mask’s arms and tore his chest apart.
Haha, but maybe it’s because he’s a hero, so he didn’t run away! I commend you for that!”
“Keugh! You cheeky bastard!”
Excalibur continued to flash. It splits the black mana and hacks through the body of the death mask.
The death mask’s body started getting more and more scratches. He sees red blood spattering everywhere. It was only then that Death Mask realized that the opponent was several times superior to him.
‘Flee…’
Death Mask lost his fighting spirit and started looking for an opportunity to escape. However, there was no way he could escape once he had already been bitten. The moment he appeared in front of Arthur, his fate was already decided.
“Is this the end? It’s boring.”
Arthur stared at the bloody death mask and said in disinterest. He put magic into his sword and swung it.
“Slashing, Crow’s brother.”
The slash that erupted from the sword split into dozens of pieces and scattered. Death Mask tried to block it by summoning a skeleton, but was unable to block it and was horribly bitten by a crow-shaped slash.
“If you want to catch me, you’ll have to bring in at least Liu Wei.”
Arthur stomped on the head of the death mask with his foot.
