Resurrected Immortal 425

Chapter 425 – 425. Heroes and Heroes (2)

“…”

Replacing one arm of Raynan’s severed shoulder, which is shimmering with dark red magic, is an uneasy aggregate of contaminated mana.
Gerard is that dark red magic. He had experience fighting humans who handled contaminated mana.
Not only herself, but her colleagues whom she called the six heroes and the beings whom Eun-hyeon fought fiercely in the war 20 years ago.
Those who made a contract with the devil and accepted its power, and were able to use that power without undergoing magical beast transformation, are beings called ‘Devils’.

“Why…”

Gerard’s voice trembled as he gripped the dagger tightly.
It was because his comrades who had fought the Empire together with him were showing off the same power as the Demons who belonged to the Empire in the end.
Wild emotions of anger and betrayal began to well in Gerard’s heart.

“Say something.”

“…”

Despite Gerard’s trembling words, Raynan remained silent.
His attitude of never opening his mouth hurt Gerard’s feelings even more.

“Are humans giving up now?”

“Because there is no reason or need to explain.”

Raynan used the worst method of throwing all humans as prey to the vampires.
What he wants is the annihilation of all humans on this continent.
It didn’t matter to him whether extraterrestrial beings appeared from under the surface and made a fuss on this continent, or whether demons ran rampant.
After he had annihilated all humans and quenched all this twisted hatred of himself, he was even contemplating taking his own life to go beside his wife and children, who had met his death first.

“How do you know what to do about my situation?”

Raynan didn’t even know how to explain it.
Should he talk about everything he had experienced in the political battles in the Kingdom of Rendir?
Should we tell the story of her family, where her wife and children were kidnapped and died a miserable death?
Or should she tell her story of saving her life by making a pact with the devil who tempted her soul while drowning in the sea with her arms and legs bound?

“Why am I doing this, why did I become this way? Gerard. You ask only that.”

“…”

“I don’t want to understand. I don’t even want empathy. I just do what I want to do.”

His own life, soul and body.
What are you going to do if you tell me the story of yourself, where everything has been ruined?
I’m not going to persuade you to join his plan to exterminate the humans of the continent by drawing understanding, sympathy, and empathy.
Raynan never thought that Gerard would side with her.

“Just because I explain it doesn’t change the difference between you and me.”

Like water and oil, the difference in position between Raynon, whose purpose is to exterminate the humans on the continent, and Gerard, who is trying to somehow maintain the peace that he has barely regained, can never be mixed.

“… Okay.”

Gerard disagreed with Raynan on this point.
There is nothing he can do for Ray Nann just because he has heard the story he has been through so far.
He is now an enemy he must stop.
Having made up his mind, Gerard lifted himself from one knee on the floor.

“Nice…”

Gerard frowned, his side still aching from the blow.
As expected, the damage of the attack allowed while careless was not negligible.
Gerard, who endured the pain by biting his teeth tightly to avoid showing off as much as possible, was wary of Ray Nunn and was lost in thought.

‘Thunderbolt’s teeth have already been used once.’

With his own remaining magic power, he could probably only use it once.
There is only one number of times she can use her own secret technique that can pierce Raynan’s physical strength.
On the other hand, his shoulder, which was continuously burned by Erinn’s fox fire, was severed once and the burning flesh fell off.
In order to inflict as much damage as before, you have to aim for the heart or neck, which are vital points, but Raynan, who was aware of his intentions, could not be easily defeated.
In addition, it was too picky to deal with him who contracted with the devil and used the power of the devil.

“Stop giving up and die in peace.”

“Under.”

Gerard snorted at Raynan’s invitation to surrender, which he had already recommended several times.
Raynan didn’t think that Gerard would surrender and give up his life so easily.

‘… After all, I have to write it.’

Gerard, unable to come up with a way to beat Ray Nann, had to take out the last bastion he had prepared.

“Sue… Whoa…”

I took a small breath, trying to forget the throbbing pain in my side.

“Your thunderbolt teeth can only be used once.”

“That’s the Nago of 20 years ago.”

Ironically, even with the enemy right in front of him, Raynon stared at Gerard, who was slowly regaining his stability, and did nothing.

“As if you became stronger by selling your soul and body to the devil. I haven’t lived this far without thinking about anything at all.”

Gerard put his free dagger into his bosom and pulled out something.
He hesitated for a moment, closing his eyes tightly before recalling the face of Eun-hyun who made it.

‘Sorry. Older brother. After all, I guess I’ll have to write this.’

What Gerard took out of his bosom was a small golden sphere-shaped marble.
Knowing that the energy within the golden orb was unusual, RayNun stiffened her face and asked.

“… What is that?”

“It’s an inner stage that condenses the divine beast’s magical power.”

“… Is it the magical power of a divine beast?”

Before Raynan had time to react, Gerard immediately shoved the orb into her mouth and swallowed it.
As the inner layer that passed through her throat and entered her stomach melted, the energy of the divine water condensed in the inner layer covered Gerard’s whole body.

Paperweight!

“Keuuugh!”

The energy of thunderbolt, which was activated as if bursting from the inside of the body, had a sense of intimidation that was incomparable to that of the ‘teeth of thunderbolt’ that had been carried on the dagger until now.
It was as if Gerard’s mana itself, which had been shimmering with blue energy, was changing into a golden thunderbolt.

“You…”

Gerard, whose face was distorted by pain and trying to put up with it, glared at Raynan, whom he had determined to be his enemy, with blue eyes.

“I will stop you here.”

Even if that meant giving up his own life, Gerard did not hesitate, determined to stop his former comrade, now a villain, here.
Perhaps the reason why he got his hands on the Shinsoo, Kirin’s inner altar was to make a contract with the devil and to stop his former colleague who had fallen, he felt the strong force of fate.

“Big… Aaaaa!”

His efforts to somehow control the aura gushing out from inside his body eventually turned to nothing, and eventually the golden thunderbolt that was released covered Gerard’s entire body.
The bead Gerard swallowed was an inner layer created by Eun-hyeon by refining the magical power of a divine beast called ‘Kirin’ among the races called divine beasts.
It is said that it was purified once and its energy was stabilized, but even so, swallowing the inner layer containing the essence of enormous magical power at once is a dangerous thing that is tantamount to suicide for humans.

‘Inside the body… It feels like it’s burning… !’

It is a completely different case from Erin, who became a descendant of a divine beast.
In the case of Erin, the trigger was that she had been asleep for about three days near the Tree of Hope, called the Divine Tree of Pernias, where the remains of a nine-tailed fox were buried.
As the thoughts of the nine-tailed fox flowed in along with a very weak part of the divine beast’s power, the magical power of the nine-tailed fox began to settle in Erinn’s body. Is a case where is used freely.
However, the power of the divine beast that Gerard ate now is a completely different case.
In the first place, Kirin’s magical power is very rough and violent, unlike the nine-tailed fox’s magical power accumulated over a long period of time.
In many ways, Erin was very lucky, but the power of a divine beast is not a power that a single human can handle.
Just by refining it so that it can be used, you can indirectly realize how excellent Eun-hyeon’s ability is.
But the price Gerard has to pay for that is his own life.

‘Still.’

Gerard did not take his eyes off Raynan even as he felt tremendous pain from the giraffe’s magical energy that began to burn his body.

‘Only you will stop it here so that things don’t go your way.’

“Quaaaaa!”

Gerard let out a desperate scream at the pain of burning his whole body.
The golden thunderbolt that covered Gerard’s body, which was able to use the magic of a giraffe and transcended human standards, burned Gerard’s skin, burned all of the blood flowing in his body, and burned his pupils.
Not only his body, but even his head, all covered in golden thunderbolts, Gerard’s form only maintained his human form, and he threw off the human frame.
With all the organs in his body including his blood and heart burned, he was already biologically dead, but the golden thunderbolt that swallowed his body was a small god itself.

Paperweight!

“… !”

Raynan’s body shuddered for a moment as the goose bumps ran through her skin.
In the dark night sky, I met Gerard’s eyes, who radiated bright light with golden sparks.
The part of his face where the eyes existed was already covered with thunderbolt, so even though there was no way they could make eye contact, Gerard was undoubtedly looking at him.
Reynon’s body trembled just from that gaze and the feeling of intimidation from the whole body.
I heard a strong conviction that the current state had a strong offensive power that exceeded its own defense.

‘It’s definitely different from before.’

It’s to the point where I wonder if it’s right to continue recognizing that as Gerard.
Immediately, the moment Raynan tried to get himself into a position to engage in battle, Gerard’s figure disappeared.

“… What!?”

Belatedly recognizing Gerard, who appeared in front of him in an instant, Ray Nann pulled him back and tried to widen the distance.

Paperweight!

The fact that the eyes recognize Gerard’s figure before the sound is the same as that he has already surpassed the speed of sound and is moving faster than light.
The movement technique Gerard showed was not a heterogeneous position.

In the blink of an eye, Gerard rushed in front of RayNun and without hesitation swung his arm through RayNun’s abdomen.

Fu-wook

When her own body reinforcement, which boasted her overwhelming defensive power, was pierced so vainly and was pierced, Raynan vomited her blood.

“Cuck!”
