Chapter 937 – #203_Intersection(6)
#931
One.
A reunion after decades of the last battle where Elroa lost Ea.
The hunter, who became more cunning, continued the path of bloody greed all over the world, escaping from the tracking net of Eloa.
However, after being attacked by the perfume witch and robbed of her hierarchy by a certain male witch, she fell under the spell of Bianca Bellili, the ‘Witch of Desire’.
She turned into a sex slave and pretended that her mind and will had collapsed.
Around that time, the death of Duke Keter was officially recognized, and the present world changed dizzy.
With the help of the Witch of Whispers, the lotuses bloomed and the hierarchy was built up step by step.
Ea, who achieved her dazzling feat of the 23rd hierarchy by replacing countless high witches and humans due to her extraordinary skills, announced her parting with Lilith.
It was because he knew very well that the end of the witch who was too deeply entangled with Lilith was miserable.
Therefore, when she came to Ea again, Ea would resolutely refuse whatever her offer was.
However, that determination soon faded.
Because, befitting Lilith, who lured countless witches to death in her remorse, she made a sweet offer she couldn’t refuse.
That he would give him a chance to kill Tiphareth.
It was a proposition so captivating that it put my guard down for a moment.
Ea hates Eloa.
It doesn’t matter in the first place that she provided the starting point for this grudge relationship.
An opponent who tried to kill her several times.
She tried to fight back a couple of times, but in the end, the difference in rank swallowed her humiliation and made her roll in the mud.
Even though she knew that they were coming after her, she had no choice but to helplessly run away from the daily misery.
All I had to remember was that that was enough.
Her self-reflection and repentance have never been chewed through.
“…”
“…”
Ea came down the escalator and faced Eloa.
Standing on the stage at the end of the show, the two were a little surprised at the feeling that gently swayed in their hearts.
And I felt that the feelings were similar to each other.
It was a strange thing indeed.
There were so many things I wanted to share.
I cursed and resented my opponent so much.
Is it because they have hated each other for so long?
Even though they were at this place where they faced each other after a long time, there was nothing else they wanted to ask.
There was nothing I wanted to hear.
They reaffirmed that they could not tolerate each other’s existence, and each took up arms.
“Contract.”
Elroa’s contract sword shines.
Eloa’s condition, which had already ended a fierce battle, was not perfect.
Out of 12 contracts, only 6 can be used.
Consumes half the magic power.
Including small negative factors, including insufficient sleep time.
But nothing made me feel more threatened than this empty heart.
It’s almost a hundred years.
Every day for a hundred years, I fantasized about beheading my enemies.
It is okay even if the body is broken.
It’s okay if your heart explodes
If I can kill Ea Sadalmelik, this life may be my last.
Didn’t you promise that?
However, even in front of Ea, who is trying to kill Eloa because Raffi is not enough, her heart is silent.
I can’t feel any emotions, as if I’m frozen and necrotic.
I’ll have to kill him to avenge him.
I must survive and go to help Siwoo.
Only a superficial and superficial sense of duty hovers and scatters powerlessly.
Even if you try to gather your anger and hatred, it feels so far away as if you are walking in someone else’s dream.
However, contrary to such a mind, Elroa’s body and mind compel her to fight.
It was analyzing the situation of both as if it had become a mechanical device.
First, Ea’s current state.
There is no cowardly and despicable Ea who would tremble at the sight of Eloa.
Judging by the magic field that naturally spreads, the hierarchy is not very different from that of Eloa.
Perhaps the ‘lotus flower’ floating behind her gave her new strength.
The lotus, which glows red as if blood is dripping from how many sacrifices have been eaten, must be a kind of ‘distortion’ of providence along with Siu’s red branches.
“Melt it.”
As Ea’s incantation flowed, the shape of the lotus flower melted and scattered, scattering bright red showers.
Blood blooming everywhere at my feet What blooms eeriely in the pond are countless flowers.
The name of the flower that blooms like a fire on a long stem like a pinwheel is Hianhwa.
The sadly beautiful red flowers at the entrance to the underworld are in full bloom all over the underground shopping mall.
“…”
Its appearance is reminiscent of Amelia’s magnetism magic.
Even the magic of the enemy who put her in danger was used as her source of inspiration.
A magic that Elloa had never experienced before.
Therefore, the exact power, principle, and danger are unknown.
According to the standard, after a calm search battle, they would have taken time to attack.
However, Elroa does not have enough coins to spend on her quest.
So she just did what she was good at.
Approaching.
Cut
-Paang!
A shockwave bursting from Elroa’s toes.
There is still some remaining duration of the contract that was signed a little while ago.
The output of the spiritual body enhanced to the limit by the contract magic.
It was no different from condensing the power of a modern fighter into Eloa’s small body.
– Whiriririk!
The ribbons that squirmed like tentacles on the floor blocked Eloa, who narrowed the distance in the blink of an eye.
Like an insectivorous plant that recognizes a flying butterfly, it tries to wrap itself around Eloa’s body as soon as it recognizes the approach.
It is Ea Sadalmelik’s magnetic magic, ‘Virgin’s Loom’.
In fact, the maiden’s loom belongs to relatively primitive magic.
Pure physical magic that neither distorts the world’s settings nor tricks the enemy with clever tricks.
Of course, that doesn’t mean the risk is low.
Ea’s ribbon, supported by various magics, is basically stronger than Siu’s, which operates the ‘virgin’s loom’ alone.
The number that can be operated at the same time reaches hundreds of objects that can be entwined and knocked down a building with just one strand.
Furthermore, the power of the ribbon borrowed from the lotus flower was stronger than before.
– Breakup liquid! Breakup liquid!
-Bang! Kukkoom!
Sometimes like a whip, sometimes like a harpoon with a twisted tip, sometimes like a string of ropes, Eloa escaped the shower of ribbons.
Elroa’s movement, cleverly finding a gap in the moving spider web that seemed to occupy space itself, and teasing her body was not magic, but it was indeed magic.
A skillful movement that has been repeated over and over again through countless experiences.
Ea could not block the taijutsu, which had already reached the point of unconsciousness.
In an instant, Eloa, who shook off all obstacles and met Ea’s eyes, made a low sentence.
“I will cut you.”
The subject of the contract is Eloa.
The target is Ea.
3 of the remaining contracts are used to conclude an absolute contract with the nature of being fulfilled.
-Chwaaaaagh!
As if making a cocoon, the ribbon that wrapped around Ea was fleetingly cut off like a piece of tissue paper by the straight sword strike.
Ea, who believed only in the ribbon and didn’t take any evasive action, couldn’t escape Eloa’s attack.
“…”
Elroa confirmed the result of the battle that ended in vain with her empty eyes.
From the top of the head to the groin, the two pieces of Ea flowed from the sloppy blood and fragmented intestines.
It was clear that Elroa’s swordsman killed Ea instantly without even allowing her time to chew on her knuckles.
Is this the end of the evil relationship you’ve been longing for?
A sense of sadness close to her collapse shook Elroa’s heart as if hovering in an empty cave.
“It was a wilderness where you couldn’t see an inch ahead.”
Despite the sounds coming from behind her back, Elroa reflexively saw her broken body on the ground.
Eloah’s eyes see through falsehood and falsehood.
Her body, however, is motionless.
A definite death that cannot be undone by her tricks or magic is before her eyes.
Apparently Ea Sadalmelik has just died.
So, what is the voice behind you?
“The days when I had to just move forward in hardship and adversity, humiliation and shame, anger and hatred, despair and grief. Ah, indeed, it was like a thorny path of arduous training.”
Looking back at her, what I could see was Ea slowly blooming in the Hianhwa.
Strange and figurative, but there was no more appropriate expression.
Like an object without a physics engine applied, one of the Hianhwa colony that maintained its shape in this rough battlefield conceived Ea.
Ea Sadal Melik, who makes a plausible dress by entwining her pure white naked body with ribbons, and steps her bare feet into the collapsed ruins.
“In that pain, I took off another bridle.”
“A monstrous bitch.”
Elroa twisted her lips as if chewing on her.
This is because, befitting a high-ranking witch, she noticed what Ea was up to without a detailed explanation.
Ea is revived.
After her death, she discarded her own body and fashioned her new body and soul with her magic of some kind, perhaps utilizing the ‘lotus flower’.
In a sense, it could be called a resurrection.
However, this method is not as convenient as it seems.
There is a very famous paradox that talks about identity and continuity in existence.
The ship of Theseus, if all the parts are replaced over time by replacing the parts of the old ship, it is a discussion about whether the ship is still the same ship.
Then, for example, if there is a magic that allows an object to die completely and give birth to a newly conceived body and soul.
Can it truly be called resurrection?
The question of this paradox, which has haunted many people since ancient Greece, was not something witches could find a sharp breakthrough.
It was not even a question that a witch with an enlarged ego and an attachment to her unique existence could easily choose an answer.
“The fact that I look like that must be proof that you, Duke Tiphareth, are also mediocre beings.”
And Ea found her own answer.
Eloah understood.
The reason why she couldn’t feel that kind of strength from Ea, who had reached a level similar to Eloa.
The power to deny death even hundreds of times.
An ability close to a natural enemy that forces Eloa, who specializes in one-on-one combat, to consume infinitely.
Even if the brain is destroyed, even if the stigma is destroyed, even if the continuity of an existence is ended by the sentence of death, ‘resurrection’ that can be restarted many times.
Thousands of hianhua blooming everywhere are the strength that Ea has newly acquired.
“You used to look so scary. Now it just looks funny.”
Ea smiled brightly and cruelly.
