Chapter 353 – Sacrifice
Episode 353 – Sacrifice
“Aaaaah!”
Pernia was unable to handle the power of the religious leader and fell away.
She immediately healed her wounds using a semen potion and joined, but her face was distorted with unremoved pain.
Bang! Kwagwagwagwang!
Meanwhile, another party attacked, but was unable to penetrate the black hole surrounding him and was completely destroyed.
The cult leader’s power, which was already strong, increased to an unbearable level after gaining half of Levios’ power.
Even though all the attention was focused on descending Nephelina, this level of force was amazing.
Maybe even if he just fought, he could have annihilated everyone by himself.
‘Damn it!’
I was upset that I had to just watch.
No matter how strong you become, there is always a higher obstacle above you.
Even after he had grown to the point where he could face the Apostle head-on, the enemy was still huge.
I was so angry that I wasn’t sure if I could even properly avenge Skadia that I felt like I was losing my mind.
But that shouldn’t be the case.
If you get excited and rush in, everyone’s efforts will be in vain.
You have to aim for the perfect opportunity.
‘Bet on one blow.’
Even if the demon energy runs rampant, the cult leader will be killed.
At that time, the dean, who had just retreated from the cult leader’s attack, stood next to me.
“I will put all my effort into this attack. So catch me off guard.”
“… Would you be able to?”
“It would be impossible if I were alone. But there are others too. They said the Gray Magic Tower lord would also help.”
“Is that really true?”
Roxana must be busy saving Skadia, right?
Startled, I looked back and found Roxana waving her hand.
Scadia could not be found anywhere around her.
-Roxana? Where is Skadia?
-I was trapped in an illusion world. It’s a space where time has completely stopped, so you’ll be safe for a while.
-… Thank goodness.
Although nothing has been resolved, it is nice that there can be at least some respite.
-Let’s talk about the details later. Now we have to stop the cult leader first. I can’t give you much help, but I’ll do my best.
-Thank you.
-Huh. I told this to everyone, so please move immediately when I give the signal.
-Yes.
When I looked around at the group, I noticed that their movements had changed slightly compared to before, as if the message had been conveyed properly.
The leader seemed to have noticed the change and was on high alert, but it felt like he didn’t fully understand it.
I pretended to be tired, exerting only a moderate level of strength until the opportunity came.
And, the wait wasn’t long.
-Now is the time!
“Oooooh!”
The one who made the first start was the dean.
With a loud shout, he pulled out a sword that was hundreds of meters long and swung it around.
The attack was extremely inefficient and consumed so much mana, but at least it was perfect in capturing her attention.
“There is no way.”
Kkakdeukdeuk!
The head of the school absorbed all the dean’s lectures in a relaxed manner, as always.
Next, Roxana’s magic explodes.
“Illusion of infinity!”
Paaaaat!
Gray magical power covered the entire world and turned into tens of thousands of transparent mirrors.
The light reflected in the mirror is difficult to distinguish from the real thing, confusing vision.
Of course, that only applies to religious leaders.
The party members each pushed back against the cult leader with a blow containing maximum power.
Not long after, the opportunity came.
“Elquines!”
“Trowell!”
Sisters Arisha and Aris squeezed out all their elemental power and restricted the movements of the religious leader.
For a moment his movements stopped.
‘I can see it!’
Spotting the gap, I raised the primordial fire to its limit and activated the super flame.
Grrrr!
The flames surrounding the whole body evolve the body.
It is born as a flame itself that transcends the material world and burns everything.
The flame surpassed space.
‘But it’s not enough!’
Super-flame fire and extremely violent heavenly star.
The power of primordial fire and destruction.
Combine the two into one.
The primordial fire amplifies the power with its unique power, and the power coats the surface of the fire, allowing it to exert tremendous physical power in itself.
When limit-breaking speed and transcendent strength are combined, tremendous power is created.
Kwagwagwagwagwagwang!
The leader couldn’t even react, and his heart was pierced by his fist.
However, the power contained in the single blow was not enough and soared up, shattering the illusion barrier and scattering the clouds floating high in the sky.
The religious leader flinched belatedly.
“… I never thought I would get hit. “I let my guard down.”
He seemed calm even as flames spread through his veins, as if he didn’t feel any pain.
I really don’t like that.
“How is it? The pain that Skadia went through. “I will repay you in the same way.”
Grrrr!
The output was further increased to infuse flame into every joint and cell of the bone.
His skin bulges and swells.
The problem is that even when it gets to that point, there is no reaction from this kid.
The leader instead smiled at me.
“Do you think you won?”
“What?”
“My wish has already come true. At this moment, the goddess has descended.”
“What is that…”
Paaaaat!
Just as he was voicing his question, the jewel that tore through his skin and flew up gave out a fierce light.
The light that dyed the whole world dark red was so ominous and gloomy.
Damn it!
And before anyone could react, the dimension split and a black silhouette appeared from within.
It was in the form of a human.
Even though the details of her appearance were hidden in the dark, the thought that she was beautiful naturally came to mind.
However, such sentiments were quickly evaporated by the eerie magical energy I felt immediately afterward.
It was a very pure yet evil energy that was much bigger than the heart of Levios, which was thought to be infinite.
I had a hunch.
‘Nephelina.’
The goddess of darkness has descended.
Even though I met the culprit who brought me to this world, I couldn’t express my anger.
There was no time to intervene with that desire for revenge, and the alarm bell of survival instinct was ringing in my head.
‘What should I do?’
It was already too much.
If the primordial fire were to be used further here, the balance would be truly broken and the demon energy would run rampant.
I’m thinking hard, but I can’t think of a way.
Meanwhile, Nefelina, who had completely crossed her dimension, set foot on her earth.
Her head turns towards me.
[Banghae.]
Sigh!
At the same time as the beautiful sound penetrated my ears, the magic bullet flew like a beam of light.
Although it was small, it was concentrated at one point and had tremendous penetrating power.
He quickly used photonization to get away, but the bullet even had a guidance function.
It’s not at a perfect level, but surprisingly, it’s enough to catch up with photonization a little bit.
“Ugh!”
When the bullet grazed her shoulder, a huge amount of magical energy immediately penetrated into her body. I had no choice but to extinguish it with the fire of the beginning.
Thanks to this, her magical energy has become more unstable, but there is no time for her to relax.
Pababababat!
This is because Nefelina, confirming her survival, fired hundreds of bullets.
I was busy running away.
If she destroyed Levios’ heart, she could close her dimension and send Nephelina back, but she didn’t have time to focus her attention on that.
‘I’m going crazy!’
She thought that by gaining the power of the primordial fire, she would be able to compete with God to some extent, but it was a very arrogant thought.
The gap between God and me was so great.
One good thing, though, was that since Nefelina’s main target was me, her aggression towards the rest of her party was somewhat less severe.
At that time, when the chase continued like that, Nephelina’s offensive stopped.
However, it was not a positive direction.
“Crazy…”
For the first time in a long time, I felt despair.
Wooooow!
A magical sphere measuring 100 meters in diameter appeared above Nephelina’s head.
Surprisingly, its density is the same as that of a bullet.
In other words, it meant that its power would be tens of thousands of times greater.
At that level, the damage range is tens of kilometers.
Just being caught up in it would turn many people into dust.
‘That’s not possible.’
It’s better for me to die alone than to see everyone else die.
I know this is a selfish choice, but I have pulled out my primordial fire and power to the limit to somehow block the attack.
At the same time, a figure appeared behind him.
“Hyeon.”
“Ursilla?”
Her expression was serious.
His face, which is always relaxed and whose true intentions are unknown, is quite serious.
Ursilla got her hand on my heart.
“It’s already the limit, right? Are you planning on making a sacrifice?”
“…”
I couldn’t answer anything.
What I chose was a selfish decision that ignored the people who would be left behind.
So of course I thought Ursilla would block it, but the answer I got was different.
“I have a way.”
“What do you mean by method?”
“I will hand over the heart of Levios that I have. That would be able to balance the disturbed balance.”
“Can you just hand it over?”
“…”
The corners of Urcilla’s mouth drew an arc.
But I sensed some kind of anxiety in the silent laughter.
“No? There’s something wrong. Right?”
“… Huh. “A minor problem.”
“Don’t lie. Say it right. “What happens if you hand over your heart?”
If there was a serious problem, I would never take it over.
In response to her stubborn attitude, Ursilla revealed the truth.
“My body is made of the power of Levios. If you hand over the heart, the body will also disappear.”
“It means dying. Do you think I will accept it?”
“To be exact, only the body dies. The soul will live on. … “Within you.”
I can feel the warmth in my chest.
-I will become one with you.
Immediately after receiving her heart, I remembered what Ursilla had said.
Did he really intuit this?
“Then is it possible for me to hand over my heart again?”
“Well. I guess we’ll find out by then, right? So what do you want to do? Are you going to make everyone die because of your useless stubbornness? Or do you want to become one with me?”
“Isn’t that too cowardly?”
“I always lost. I definitely want to win this time. “Are you going to grant my wish?”
How could I refuse?
No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t think of a better way than this.
“Sorry.”
“Don’t apologize. Now you are with me forever. There is no use in regretting.”
“I don’t regret it.”
“That’s enough.”
Ursilla approached and kissed her.
An enormous amount of magical energy flowed from the mucous membrane that touched her, along with her soft tongue.
The highly pure demonic energy merged with the existing demonic energy that had been pushed to the corner in the primordial fire, grew in size, and became one.
Accordingly, Ursilla’s presence gradually fades.
‘Shit…’
I felt my own weakness and the fate I could not deny, so I strengthened my grip on Ursilla.
So that you can feel this warmth just a little more.
So that I can remember this scent and texture.
I desperately savored her last moments with her.
And the moment of separation has come.
The moment when the flow of demonic energy stops and the energy in the body becomes completely balanced.
-I love you.
With one word, Ursilla’s body completely disappeared.
