Chapter 545 – The Apostle’s Fate (4)
Everyone has something they wish for.
Whether it’s the job you want or the future you want to be.
Or world peace, which is too great for one human being to hope for.
Winds and wishes this big and small are called by another name.
Desire.
No?
Don’t you think the texture is a little different?
Well.
There is one person.
Wishing for world peace.
Monsters, humans who are more monstrous than monsters.
People running away from them, and people protecting those people.
Chasing, being chased.
A world where biting and biting is a thing of the past.
Is it desirable to leave a wish that is doubtful whether it can be achieved even if all the countries in the world work together?
On the contrary, wouldn’t it be right to express this as desire?
That’s when I realized.
Desire is not all messy, sticky, and dirty.
Saints and Francis.
Moreover, the raid team is fighting desperately here, driven by their idealistic desires.
In the end, the fact that they gathered together to take a step forward toward their own desires.
At this point, there was no reason to hesitate.
We need to encourage their desires even more, feed on their inflated desires, and make them come true.
And it is achieved through that power.
I am even a human desire.
“Whoa…”
Although I said it casually, this is actually closer to gambling.
It is truly the gamble of a lifetime, risking your entire life.
In order to advance to the level I want, I have to overcome it.
“Stop wriggling and die, you bug!”
Viktor Vadim.
A cocky vampire who is both an apostle of greed and a true ancestor.
And.
“Don’t stop!”
“Protect your formation!”
“We’ll hold on until the wizards say we’re ready!”
Furthermore, we must change their minds.
You have to show it.
My power may help, but it will not harm.
By killing an apostle of greed like me, I am actually on their side.
Only then can it be returned.
Even the heart of the saint who exists beyond them.
“Everyone, step back!”
Melee dealers who back away as soon as they say a word.
The magic cast with the time they earned pours in.
「Chain Lightning」
「Flame River」
「Earth Hail」
「Cyclone」
Large-scale magic that can completely devastate the enemy camp right from the start.
With the power of gluttony added, an even more powerful magic bombardment attacks the beasts.
A streak of lightning spreads like a net.
It’s a joke -!
A river of flames flowing beneath your feet.
Puhaaagh!
In the hail of rocks falling overhead.
Patter!
Poop-!
Even a huge typhoon raging through the entire camp.
Kwaaaaa!
The greedy beasts made using the blood of the true ancestors are definitely a threat.
Power equivalent to S class for each individual.
In addition, autonomous actions and thoughts to achieve a unified will.
The risk is extremely low, and the return is ridiculously high.
But it was still not enough.
The bonding power between the blood of the true ancestor and the energy of greed.
The ability to think and act is engraved in each one of them.
Crrr… !
Hehe!
The hard outer shell breaks, and dark red blood pours out from within.
The close-range dealers who saw this rushed in without any hesitation.
“Aim for the torn area!”
“Oooh!”
Just as a castle wall, no matter how strong, is over once it collapses, the same goes for their outer shell.
Once the outer shell is pierced, the persistent attack causes the small wound to become larger and turn the surrounding area red.
The raiding party that fought closely with them was no exception.
Covered in a lot of blood, they relentlessly picked at the wounds of their enemies and smiled, revealing their pure white teeth.
Realizing that victory is gradually coming this way.
Coo!
Boom!
The animals, unable to withstand the gushing blood, shrivel up and fall one by one.
The road opens again.
I step over the splashing puddle and go in front of Jinjo, who has a frown on his face, and wave my hand lightly.
“Hey.”
“…”
Viktor Vadim shows no reaction.
Questions keep coming out of the guy’s mouth as he stares into space with blank stares.
“Why…, Why is my army fighting against those guys…? ?”
Somehow.
“There is only one reason.”
“…”
Only then did his gaze turn to me.
“The ability is good, but aren’t you the kind of person who can handle it?”
“Bullshit… !
Yes, that’s right.
Actually, it’s a lie.
If I hadn’t become a real cat, I wouldn’t have been able to incorporate the blood of the true ancestor into my abilities in the first place.
However, it just needed time.
Just as the saying goes that a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, the same goes for ability.
No matter how great an ability is, it takes time to master it.
The fact that he had just acquired the ability and did not have enough time was his failure.
“Joy…, I just got it and am not used to it. If only I had more time, my army would have been defeated… !”
“Oh, so.”
Yes, I know.
I heard your abilities are terrifying?
If you get used to it, you’ll probably be able to win even if you fight against just one country.
By the way.
“You said you don’t have time?”
Because.
“You will die here today.”
“Shut up-!”
Viktor Vadim gets angry.
An angry voice rings out.
“Do you think it’s over just because you defeated an animal made with just a few drops of blood? No!”
The guy’s momentum soared as he waved his hand roughly.
As I said, that ability is omnipotent.
You can control an army with your own blood, or you can use that blood solely for yourself.
What we are presenting now is the latter.
“The real thing starts now.”
The energy that permeated the entire Goseong quickly returned to its original place.
No.
To be precise, momentum is being compressed.
It slowly rolls inward, reducing the volume and thickening the concentration.
“I’ll show you the power of the newly born Thorn Ball… !”
Kukukuku… !
The earth begins to boil.
Thorns rise from beneath the puddle of blood.
Push shoo, shoo!
The speed is so fast that it cannot even be compared to before.
What has changed is not only speed.
The size, strength, sharpness, etc. Of the thorns.
We have grown significantly in all areas.
Once anywhere is pierced, I guess that part can no longer be used.
“Hwiyu.”
If the other side comes out like that, I have no choice but to change.
The Gluttony Realm, which was created to imitate the Blood Eater, is not much different from its function.
You can lead an army even if the direction is a little different, and you can also become an army on your own.
「Realm of Gluttony – All For One」
The direction in which the force flows is reversed.
Gluttony divided into dozens.
Energy gathers from them into the main body.
It is not just the energy that was previously distributed.
The hopes, aspirations, and aspirations of those who sit down and gasp for breath after a fierce struggle.
Even the energy they give off.
“Scent…, This is good.”
I am full of power.
It’s different from when you recklessly swallowed something that belongs to your enemy.
Unlike the enemy’s energy, which runs wild until it is purified and absorbed, the ally’s energy approaches as if waiting and supports the back and waist.
As if asking me to work a little harder for my master’s wishes.
Did he feel my momentum soaring?
“You… !”
Viktor Vadim’s face is cruelly distorted.
It seems like he figured it out.
“How far… !”
The fact that he stole the core of his ability and developed the same but different ability.
How far did they steal it?
That’s obvious.
“Now I have nothing to learn from you.”
“… !”
I learned everything there is to learn.
Starting with how to utilize greed.
Even useful abilities that only Jinjo could use.
“Kill. No matter what happens, you must… !”
I respond by waving my index finger at the guy who is so angry.
“Let’s try it.”
If you can.
“Kaaaaa!”
Paw wow-
The red energy that had been compressed to the limit begins to burst out.
I compress on the contrary.
Push the flowing magical energy into the sword.
Eventually, the sword becomes clear.
The form that was already created by compressing magical power is compressed again.
The length of the sword cavity, which extended about 10cm from the sword, suddenly decreases to 1cm.
The form has also become new.
If the existing sword was limited to clearly projecting the shape of the sword, the compressed sword is a form that glows on top of the clear shape as if it were on fire.
How should I express this?
“Steel fire (劍念)…”
It is the flame that burns life, and the flame of everyone with the sword.
“Inhale!”
I lower my sword.
Bye!
The approaching energy splits in half and opens the way, erasing everything it touches.
A narrow passage through an all-red world.
Kwasik!
Kick off the ground and pass through the passage.
A red energy creeping up the body like an insect.
Something that is just a liquid form a sharp tail of its own and digs into the skin.
“Pfft… !”
Blood sucked out in an instant.
I’m sucking so hard that my vision becomes blurry in an instant.
I close my eyes, which have quickly become an obstacle.
Pop!
Apply strength to your entire body and accelerate your steps while slowing down blood loss as much as possible.
Eventually, our energies meet each other.
Two energies that are the same but take different paths intertwine, entangle, and push each other repeatedly.
A tense fight without an inch of retreat.
Shwaaaaak!
Puzzle!
Tooung-
The repulsion force gets stronger as the distance between bodies gets closer.
Stop at an appropriate distance, apply force to your foot, and plant it on the ground.
An expression of the will to never step down.
Aiming at the tip of the blazing sword, the magical energy of the entire body is engulfed in a set order.
The final blow that will suffocate him is without a doubt the most beautiful swordsmanship in my life.
Seoyeon, who escaped from her weak body and started running around, and his wife, who started laughing again.
A group dance of flowers blowing in the wind that I encountered on a trip to show off the beauty of the world that I have rarely seen before.
The greatest beauty of my life, created on the spot as soon as I saw it.
And the cruel death hidden within it.
「White Flower Riot」
Flowers bloom following the wildly burning flames of the sword.
The shape, color, and scent are all different.
A full bloom of colorful flowers, each displaying their own beauty.
They dance along the sword.
Sugagagagak-
Scutter!
I don’t really like this swordsmanship that was created because of beauty.
Because I realized it after completing it.
The fleeting dance of flowers fluttering in the wind.
It is extremely beautiful at first glance, but the only ending given to the flower that falls to the ground after the wind stops is death.
The torn flowers engrave bloodlines on Viktor Vadim’s body.
“Ugh… !”
A line so deep that each one can take one’s life.
He dances too.
It came beautifully and cruelly dug into my skin, mourning the pain it left behind.
Fish shoo, shoo!
Pasyuk!
“Off…, I guess I’ll lose like this… “Ugh!”
The drops of blood that spurt out as if struggling turn the fluttering flowers red and fall to the ground.
One flower.
Another bunch.
All the flowers fell, but the bastard did not die.
After surviving until the end using the tough and tough vitality as a shield.
The guy with his own blood all over his body smiles brightly.
Hehe!”
I am confident of victory and declare it.
“It’s my victory… !”
Hundreds of drops of blood that swallowed the flower fly towards this direction.
A bullet so heavy that each drop contains as much blood as a human being.
Piyung-!
My shoulder is pierced.
Piyuwoong-
The other shoulder too.
Pisshooshoo!
Hands, arms, legs, thighs, stomach.
He mocks the guy who is confident of victory as he collapses helplessly.
“Party… God.”
“… ?”
At the same time, a human figure rises from behind.
“Aaaaah-!”
Seoyeon’s sword rushed across the space with a distorted face and an ugly roar.
“W-what… !”
It passes cleanly through the center of the heart of the embarrassed Viktor Vadim.
Puhaak-!
“Krak…, Cough… !”
The momentum of shrinking all at once.
The man’s eyes, which are rapidly losing their light, scan Seoyeon’s distorted face.
“How… Uh, when…”
Did I tell you?
The most beautiful sword in my life will kill him.
I say my last words while trying to gather my fading consciousness.
“Seoyeon, nice…”
My eyesight became dark.
