Chapter 449 – 449. The Ordeal Granted (5)
Thud! Thud! Thud!
The earth, which had been devastated by the dragon’s breath and the fear of extinction, shook with each kick of the huge demon whose whole body was on fire.
Astaroth, the culprit of the disaster, glares at Eun-hyeon, who has humiliated him with his ferocious eyes, and vomits fierce anger.
[Human! Human! Human! I’m sorry!]
As if in response to that passion, the surrounding atmosphere is distorted, and the flow of air that is transmitted is rough and hot.
[… Hey. What are you doing? You seem very angry?]
“What should I do? I have to catch it.”
[Ha, you speak so easily. This X meal. Hey, well, I have a corner where I believe, so I don’t worry too much.]
In fact, Brunak didn’t worry too much even when he faced Astaroth, whom he had killed so hard.
The spearhead, protected by divine power, no longer received a penalty from the fear of extinction, and did not feel any pain.
[Ahhh!]
As she narrowed the distance with a high jump and stared at the gigantic demon rushing at her, Eun-hyeon also took a stance while holding Brunak tightly.
Kaaang!
When Brunak, clad in divine power, and the sword of annihilation in the form of a spear collided, the aftermath of the powerful impact was scattered around.
The shockwaves that shook the ground and shook the air were overwhelming violence that destroyed everything around them.
Eun-hyeon, who received the loaded attack, clenched her teeth and desperately supported Brunac and endured it.
“Nice… Eww!”
Even though the strength and durability of the body were raised to the maximum possible through body strengthening, Astaroth’s attacks were heavy.
Nanbryunak trembled after receiving the attack of that mass, which added fearsome physique and strength, and the legs supporting his body endured the mass to the extent that the floor dented.
But Eunhyun thought.
‘It’s not that I can’t stop it.’
The most difficult thing in dealing with the devil is the ‘power of the devil’.
In particular, Astaroth’s catastrophic ability to burn skin, flesh, and bones into powder just by being in close proximity is a fraudulent existence that humans can never capture.
However, Astaros’ fear of extinction does not work for Eun-hyeon, who is protecting her body and weapons with divine power.
If the scare of extinction were not eaten, Astaros could be compared to a human with a huge body and terrifying muscular strength.
Thinking that this was worth the effort, he felt pure joy when he realized that he had really grown to the point where he could compete with even the highest level of demons.
When Eunhyeon smiled involuntarily and expressed his joy, Astaroth became even more indignant.
[Cheeky!]
There was no way that the human in front of him, who was able to receive his own attacks intact, would look nice to Astaroth.
Especially, to laugh leisurely in the state of confrontation with himself, it was like pouring fuel on the rage that was already wet with a sense of superiority due to the difference in race.
Astaroth retrieved his fear of extinction once.
Eventually, he tried to burn Eun-hyeon’s head down with even greater strength, but slashed the scare of annihilation.
[Die!]
“Joy.”
Despite Astaros’ threat, Eunhyeon snorted.
At the same time as Astaroth retrieved the Fear of Disappearance, Eunhyeon also retrieved Brünark and immediately set his stance.
With the same composition and the same posture, he had already predicted that Astaroth would launch an attack with the same big movements as before.
The flame in the shape of a spear lifted upwards hit Eun-hyeon directly on the head, but what Astaros hit directly was Eun-hyeon’s afterimage.
[Juhyeonseong Polar Plain]
[Lee Hyung-hwan-wi]
Eun-hyeon, who had moved while leaving behind an afterimage, dug into Astaros’ side once again.
[Bryunak spearmanship]
[Snake’s teeth]
At the tip of Brunak’s spear blade, which was straight and upright, bent like a snake and pierced through, the concentrated divine power was released once again.
[Ah!]
Astaroth, feeling the divine aura from his side again, shook his insides, screamed and struggled against him.
This time, Eunhyeon did not give Astaros a chance to counterattack by reorganizing his posture.
The moment Brunak, thrown upward, rose high into the sky and reached its highest point, the spearhead created dozens of clones and hovered in the air.
This was not directly learned from Brunak, but Eun-hyeon independently devised it to utilize Brunak.
A skill that uses its authority to create tens or hundreds of Brunac spearheads and drop them from the sky.
[Bryunak spearmanship]
[Meteor Rain]
Since each of the hundreds of spears falling down into the sky was made with the power created by Eun-hyeon, it is only natural that they hold immense divinity.
Kwaaang!
The spears falling from the sky boasted overwhelming destructive power, destroying the floor and creating a huge crater the moment they collided with the ground.
Astaros, who was in the center of the range where the meteor rain fell, naturally couldn’t escape Eunhyun’s attack.
[Aaaaagh!]
Brunak’s spears, which fell from the sky on the body of the giant, were embedded in the shoulder, head, and Astaroth’s back as he collapsed on the floor.
Purifying the inside of Astaroth’s body while liberating the divinity contained within each spear is an indescribable agony to the devil.
A sharp pain like driving a knife into a human body and setting fire to it.
[Person… Gaaaaan!]
However, Astaros endured all the pain and became a wreck, but clearly showed his anger toward the white-silver-haired man who was gradually driving him into a corner.
With dozens of spears pierced through his entire body, kneeling on one knee and getting his body to move again, it clearly revealed the tenacious vitality befitting a top-level demon.
[Ahh, such a jingling fuck.]
Seeing Astaros still alive after reaching that point, Brunak responded that he was tired of it.
This is because it reminded them once again of the tenacious vitality of Astaros, who persevered even though his body was burnt and destroyed by the catastrophe of extinction 400 years ago.
Thud!
Astaroth lifted his knees from the floor, kicked the floor, and raised himself.
Once again, he attacked Eun-hyeon by wielding the scare of extinction, but the gap between Astaros and Eun-hyeon, who had become a wreck, was already widening.
[Bryunak spearmanship]
[Spiral Chain]
After avoiding the slow-swinging spear of flame by rotating his body sideways, Eun-hyeon made full use of the hip and shoulder joints to pierce Astaroth’s body with a total of three sharp stabs.
Astaroth, who had been pierced through his left leg, mid-abdomen, and right shoulder in turn, exclaimed in excruciating pain.
[Why… ! Why am I a human… !]
Why doesn’t the scare of their own extinction work on the human with white silver hair and red eyes in front of them?
It is because Eun-hyeon is protecting her weapon and herself with her divine power.
But even so, what the hell is the difference between this power?
No matter how much divine power he protects, even if his own power, the fear of annihilation, does not work, the difference in power between himself, the highest level demon, and humans never changes.
However, he is overwhelmed by humans who are smaller than himself, weaker, and an insignificant race.
[Bryunak spearmanship]
[Spiral Throw]
[Cheuk!]
Leaving an afterimage on Lee Hyeong-hwan, Eun-hyeon, who opened her distance by falling back in the blink of an eye, rotated the bruenak and inserted it into the center of Astaroth’s chest.
Astaroth only then realized.
This is it.
The difference between oneself and a person who overwhelms oneself.
It’s so fast that you can’t see it, but that sharpness that shows sophisticated movements.
It is the essence of technology accumulated and crafted over a long period of time, and was not needed at all for Astaros, who used his own authority to crush uncivilized low-level demons and enemies.
This is a very good opportunity and a turning point for Astaros.
[Don’t kill me…]
Astaros, pierced by dozens of spears, gazed at Eun-hyeon with ferocious eyes that blazed with vengeance, even as his body slowly turned to powder and disappeared.
[I will definitely come back to this earth again and kill you.]
Demons don’t die
To be precise, even if he dies, his mental body will be resurrected in the Demon Realm.
There were many demons like him in the world of demons, and among them, there were special demons who, like Eunhyeon, valued ‘martial arts’ and honed their skills to the limit.
Astaros faced the reality with Eun-hyeon in front of him, who was like a variable that his authority did not work on.
Demon power alone is not enough to kill this human.
He had to admit that he had no choice but to bump the skills he had honed by building up what he called ‘Mu’.
It is embarrassing to realize that in a fight with none other than humans.
[Until then… Be sure to stay alive and not die.]
Having humiliated himself, this silver-haired man must be killed with his own hands.
That’s why Astaros desperately hoped that Eun-hyeon, the target of his revenge, would be alive until the moment he crossed over to the underworld again.
“You never change then or now.”
Eun-hyeon heard Astaroth’s warning that he must stay alive until he killed himself, and muttered briefly.
In the past, even 400 years ago when Astaros was annihilated, this demon had a history of vowing revenge on Eun-hyeon, who succeeded in killing himself.
However, this current situation is only a situation in the past reproduced by Jupiter, and Astaros, which he is now extinguishing, is also only an illusion that exists in his memory.
Astaros, who was nothing more than a being recreated in a fantasy that seemed too real, couldn’t understand Eunhyun’s muttering.
[… What?]
Astaros asked back at Eunhyeon’s muttering, but Eunhyeon did not answer the devil’s question.
“You can’t beat me now.”
Those are the words to Astaros now, who are no different from fantasy, and the words to Eunhyun herself.
He had grown up, and was now gaining confidence that he would not be defeated even in the fight against the highest level of demons.
At least in terms of racial differences and compatibility of powers, it would be possible to continue fighting the demons on an equal footing.
“Let’s finish it.”
Eun-hyeon released the divine power contained in the blade of the spear embedded in Astaros’ chest.
When the demon’s body, which had been crushed into powder, exploded in vain, and Astaros completely disappeared, Eun-hyeon spoke to her partner.
“Can you stay with me in the future?”
Eunhyun asked.
In the future, the beings he had to deal with might be demons equal to or stronger than Astaros.
In dealing with those beings, Brunak, who is called a divine spear, will be a very reliable partner for himself.
[Did you suddenly come and ask about that and sit down?]
“It must be harder than before.”
The reason why Eunhyeon asked Brunak again was because her partner had already gone through extinction once.
He wondered if it was okay to abuse his partner, who had a history of facing death as a weapon through all his hardships, but Brunak showed an unreasonable reaction.
[I heard that you also searched once and survived. Aren’t we at least the same?]
“… Well, not really.”
Eunhyun smiled bitterly and affirmed.
It is the same as Eunhyeon or Brunak in that they died once and then were resurrected.
[Then shouldn’t we at least go together? Anyway, I am a weapon. Besides, if you are using me, then I have no more complaints.]
A weapon is an object used to destroy an enemy.
And fulfilling its role with the hands of the strong is a very faithful thing as a weapon.
“I see.”
[And I don’t want to hear from my boyfriend if I can be with him. Oh, it’s so cheesy that I’m getting goosebumps at the window.]
“Noisy. Hey.”
Eunhyeon lightly tapped the trembling Brunak’s spearhead and laughed bitterly.
Eventually, he realized that the scenery around him was beginning to distort, and he realized that his ordeal was over.
[This is the last one.]
The voice of Jupiter, who speaks directly into his soul, announces the third ordeal, the last one.
