Chapter 449 – (5)
“Hmm, indeed.”
“Did you find out something?”
Carmina, who had captured the soul of a vampire whose pottery crumbled to ashes before leaving this world, looked at the vampire with only her soul remaining and spoke.
“First of all, I understand why they wanted to attack this place. Also… I probably know the names of those who appear to be the leaders of the organization this guy belongs to.”
Laura, Vergraogr, Patanel, Pasha, Daeva, Angra, Kama, Draxus, Gorden, Baal, Apophis.
“…If it’s Laura.”
I didn’t realize it until later, but it was the name of the crazy white-haired vampire who attacked me.
I expected it, but I was really in the same league as that bastard… And I found out that he was in a pretty high position…
It was a pity that I couldn’t make it then.
Part of the reason was that I was still weak… And my fists became stronger for no reason.
What if it were now?
He probably wouldn’t be protected like he was back then.
If it were me now, I would probably be able to give that bitch a proper blow.
While I was thinking about that, Carmina spoke.
“And there’s a name you know here too.”
“Carmina… Knows?”
“Even heroes know. “He was reduced to dust by the hands of a hero.”
When I said that he was reduced to dust by my hands, what came to mind was a pedo skull that had been beaten to dust.
“…Imhotep, indeed, that disgusting bastard belongs to these people. “At this level, it can be said that it is an extremely bad relationship.”
It was quite surprising that the pedo skull that I had smashed and Carmina had knocked down with the final blow was one of them.
It didn’t matter since he was behind anyway.
“Anything else?”
“First of all, the reason these people came here… Seems to be to retrieve ‘his children’ here.”
“…Is it him?”
“He seems to be the head of the leadership, so he knows very little. All that matters is that he is served by his blood master, Laura. However… It seems like she is a vampire who has reached the Lord level and serves her reluctantly out of fear of someone named Laura… So she seems to be quite a strong person.”
I didn’t know it then, but I know it now.
Even though she was a bitch who gave up on Hoaran and ended up running away.
The fact that he ran away from Hoa-ran in the first place was said to be a small step.
Plus, that pedo skeleton… Imhotep or something, was a bunch of bastards too.
Here, the sound of being in the middle of the day means that it has a power equivalent to that of a transcendent being.
In other words, he is a strong man of my level with full military power.
…It may seem like I’m a bit of a dick when I say it like this, but I was saying that I’m pretty strong now.
In terms of pure combat skills, he still needs to learn from Karura, but in terms of strength, he is already at a level that greatly overpowers Karura.
Anyway, back again.
“So, what does it mean to be his child?”
The reason they attacked here.
When she asked what it was, Carmina twisted her head and said,
“I still don’t know. “I’m not sure if it’s meant figuratively or literally… First of all, I’m sure it’s in this building-”
Phew, I said.
Carmina was speaking in a small sound that could barely be detected by even her five sensitive senses, and a hole was made in her slender neck.
“Phew…”
With her neck cut off, blood overflowed from her cries to replace the sounds that could not come out.
Soon… Carmina’s new form was seen collapsing helplessly.
One step too late, the golden warriors moved, but their new forms were also seen scattering along with Carmina, who had already fallen.
Okay.
‘I saw it.’
It was just visible.
I’m glad I didn’t turn it off once the situation is over.
I’m glad I took to heart Lilith’s advice to always be prepared and Xiao’s advice to always think of the worst.
With that thought in mind, I immediately moved my body.
“First of all, being in this building…”
He hugged Carmina, who was talking just like the future she had already seen.
I didn’t do anything stupid like push away and protect.
It was an attack fired from a long distance that could not be detected by my senses or even by Carmina’s senses, which were two times wider than mine.
It was a sniping attack that went unnoticed until just before the attack.
If I didn’t have future vision, which allows me to see a few seconds into the future, I would have been unable to move.
There was no way that a guy capable of such an attack would miss an attack just by pushing him away.
So, in order to protect it for sure… I thought this was it.
“Woah, hero? Suddenly-“
Carmina, who was suddenly hugged, was seen blushing, and right after that – just like Yeji, who had already seen it once.
Just like the future I had already seen, a faint whistling sound was heard in my ears.
Absolutely!
At first, it was modified several times, starting with location tracking, emergency escape, and various other miscellaneous functions were added… Anyway, the first artifact attached was the protective shield spread by the body checker. A breaking sound was heard.
It withstood Lilith’s punches once, but it was shattered so cruelly.
There…
Bagagagak…!
It was the armor of heavenly protection that reached the level of a holy object, but it was pierced by a destructive power that was incomparable to that faint sound… It penetrated the flesh and something was thrust into the body.
Even tearing off the many scales covering the entire body and piercing through all the muscles that make up the oni’s strong body.
However, a holy relic is a holy relic.
I couldn’t even reach Carmina, who was in my arms.
There was just a cracking sound… The bullet that pierced my heart and bounced out was blocked on the other side of Cheonho’s armor.
I was worried when I was helplessly pierced through Cheonho’s armor.
It was fortunate.
“Phew.”
Her blood rushed out of her mouth.
I could see the blood splashing all over Carmina’s pretty face.
“Ah…?”
Carmina, whose face had turned red, was seen turning black.
Her red blood dripped down and wet her face.
In contrast… It only emphasized Carmina’s pale face even more.
Hmm…
It’s still pretty like this.
After all, she was my wife.
By the way…
There were times when my arms and legs were torn off, half my body was torn apart, and my hair was barely attached to me.
This is the first time my heart has exploded.
When my whole body was torn apart by that tentacle monster, when I regenerated it without falling behind…
I thought it was because the origin of all my things was, in fact, my heart.
At that time… Even though my whole body was in shreds, my heart was still beating.
Anyway, perhaps thanks to that, I was able to somehow come back to life and beat that bastard.
However…
That heart exploded this time.
So… What happens?
“Ahhh…”
Carmina, who had already let countless people go, was too embarrassed to speak properly and touched my cheek.
“Oh, no. “If I leave you behind…”
It’s okay, I’d like to say.
I wanted to tell her not to worry, but it was difficult because she kept crying and bleeding past her mouth.
Because it’s hard.
Instead of saying it was okay, I took off the body checker I was wearing… The shield was completely destroyed but the other functions were still intact, so I took off the body checker and handed it to Carmina.
“Oh, uh…?”
“Okay,” I said, and held the body checker in her hand. It was only then that I saw Carmina, who realized the reason, startled.
“Now, wait a minute. Youngwoo…”
As I snapped and destroyed the body checker, the emergency escape magic that was meant for one person was activated, sending Carmina straight to a safe place.
Here, the safe place was, of course, our home.
Although she was out of town for a long time, there were Xiaona and Ariad who were in charge of looking after her house, so this eased Carmina’s worries.
Good.
This is it.
At least, the worst thing that happened was that both Carmina and I got screwed here.
Okay, next.
Now it was my turn.
“…”
First, we attempted to repair the heart, but it seemed like it would be impossible.
I don’t know, but… I felt like this thing that was digging into me was interfering with my recovery itself.
A little while ago, the vampire who was in pain in an unregenerate body was in the same situation as me now.
It’s just that the vampire did it to clear off the karma she committed, but for me… It was because of something that had burrowed inside me.
…It felt like it was similar to the chain I always wore.
Is it.
Perhaps, this was something they had… In preparation for the twenty-two heroes, all great heroes who had reached transcendental or semi-transcendent levels.
Likewise, even for me, who holds divinity, it was also a poison.
The solution that immediately came to mind was that I would pierce my own chest, pull out what was embedded in my body, and try to regenerate it…
Unfortunately, I didn’t have the strength to do that.
…So I’m going to die like this?
Really?
…When I see my consciousness becoming increasingly blurred, it seems like it’s real.
Oh, wait.
Ammut also signed a contract…
I have to cancel it.
Otherwise, we’ll just be left alone like this…
Place.
When I came to that thought, it was to the point where I couldn’t think anymore.
All I could see at the end was a dark, increasingly blurred vision.
Is this really death?
Whether it was a flash or something, I felt many faces and memories appear and then disappear again.
It seemed like death was really the right thing to do.
…I had a lot of regrets.
There were a ton of them.
Unlike before, there are so many things I want to do now… It was so unfair to die like this.
But, right now… She decided to think that she was lucky that at least Carmina was returned safely, and so she came to her senses.
“…It wasn’t meant to be used in a place like this.”
A treasure with only three shots.
I had no idea that a single shot of the Shinsart, created by extremely compressing the bones of a being who killed a god, would be wasted in this way.
“Besides… I missed one.”
Perhaps… It is clear that he is related to the ‘Empress’, ‘Heavenly Tiger’, and ‘Death Dragon’ who attacked Guenevia this time… It was quite disappointing because both of them were beings that could interfere with the great plan.
If I had used it anyway, I should have killed both of them… But I ended up killing one of them, no matter what they were using.
“Hmm… I think it would be better to retrieve the body.”
Imhotep, the necromancer, was already dead, but there were many others who could do something with the corpse.
If you hand it over to them… They’ll be able to create something quite useful.
Thinking like that…
Angra slipped into the shadows.
In an instant, he emerged from the shadow of the being, or rather, the being that he had personally shot and killed… Which was dozens of kilometers away.
Shadow clan.
A being that is half born of a dark spirit.
That was Angra’s race.
He was a Shadow, a race with the ability to interfere with any shadow that existed in the world that was visible to his eyes.
The limit of that ability was ‘all the visible shadows’… So if there was some kind of means, it was possible to interfere anywhere in the world, as long as there were shadows.
Therefore… An artifact that resembles an eyeball held by Angra.
The gift of being able to see anywhere in the world, ‘clairvoyance,’ is the gift of plucking out the eyes of the owner of ‘clairvoyance’… If only there was an artifact that copied them.
And, as he could attack from anywhere as long as there was a shadow, he could be said to be the being with the greatest assassination skills among those existing in this world.
But that’s just it.
Shadows born by forcibly combining with the spirits of darkness… Had an extremely short lifespan.
This is because the characteristic of Shadow’s existence being gradually erased as it passes through shadows and uses shadows to interfere with the world is precisely the racial characteristic of Shadow.
