Chapter 448 – 448. The Ordeal Granted (4)
[I’m going to ask you first. Is there a proper way?]
Although he gave permission, Brunak’s distrust of Eun-hyeon had not yet been completely resolved.
[I don’t want to experience that fucking pain again.]
Every time he attacked Astaroth, the experience of being burned by the horror of extinction and the spearhead being destroyed was a very recent thing for Brunac, who had just been resurrected.
The burning pain of the whole body can be felt even by a “Weapon” That does not have a human body.
The sharp pain of breaking the blade and crushing the spearhead, which is no different from one’s own body, is a terrible pain that he never wanted to feel again.
Although he had made the choice to prioritize the destruction of his enemies over his own life, Bryenak did not want to go through that pain again.
“Of course there is a way to think of it. Believe me.”
[That confident answer really annoys me…]
At least 400 years ago, Eunhyeon was not like that.
[What?]
However, contrary to that anxiety, Bruenach reacted in surprise when he felt the divine energy flowing from his Eunhyeon’s hand toward his spearhead.
[This…]
I felt a mysterious feeling in the sense that a very warm yet strong energy filled every corner of the window.
It is not an ordinary human energy.
When he resurrected and threw a javelin at the ancient witch beast, he realized that the aura that enveloped his body was not his illusion.
[What? This power?]
“Divine power.”
[… Divine power?]
“You know. Whom did I serve and what mission was I serving?”
[… Mi X bastard.]
Brunak immediately understood Eunhyeon’s meaning.
Many of the efforts and activities he has done on Earth are all things he has done as an apostle of the goddess and a mission given to him.
The fact that Eunhyeon started to deal with divine powers on her own means that she began to develop her status as a god rather than an apostle of God.
And now he understood the current situation and the meaning of the ordeal.
[Are you trying to become a god now?]
“Somehow it happened that way.”
[How could it happen? It’s really absurd.]
“Well, I really can’t explain it like that.”
Eun-hyeon smiled bitterly at Brunak’s sarcastic remarks, unable to find words to return.
To be honest, the divine arms bestowed by Vulcanus and Minerva played a really big role in being able to accidentally attain the status of a half-god.
But it was none other than Belldandy who put in the most effort.
“There is someone I really want to repay this time.”
He also had a desire to repay Belldandi, who had persuaded the seven goddesses to revive him and had led him so far.
That is why this ordeal is very important to you.
“Then let’s begin.”
[… Yes.]
As soon as Bryunak’s permission was given, Eun-hyeon immediately took up his posture.
By putting strength into his lower body, he firmly fixes his legs on the swaying ground, and aims the bruenak, which contains the power of his divine power, at the red dragon that is rampaging in the sky.
Haha!]
In order to catch that mad demon that completely controls the air and sweeps the ground, it needs to be dropped to the ground first.
[Nice… Eww!]
Brünak groaned and trembled at the spearhead at the pressure of being injected to the limit of the limit.
‘How strong have you become… ! You son of a bitch!’
Even though she was shocked that this density and divinity really made no sense, she didn’t show it to Eun-hyeon because of the childish feeling of pure pride.
This is itself the result of Eunhyeon’s growth while she was annihilated.
If he can’t endure this much, it means he can’t serve as his partner and weapon.
It can’t be that it is very hurtful to one’s pride called Shinchang.
‘Joy! I’ll hold on to this!’
Brunach is a weapon.
Although he can think, has a self, and can communicate with humans, Bryenak is well aware that his essence is a weapon.
A weapon is one that annihilates the owner’s enemies according to the owner’s request.
Even if one’s body is crushed and cannot continue its role as a weapon, it is oneself who is used with the best effort until that happens.
So, in order to kill Astaroth, he willingly chose to perish while enduring tremendous pain.
Although Brunak has a harsh tone and uses vulgar expressions, the fact that this spear has always been Eun-hyeon’s partner in the past and now does not change.
Eventually, Eun-hyeon threw a bruenak at the red dragon, who finally finished aiming.
[Bryunak spearmanship]
[Skin Piercing]
The silver-covered divine spear, possessing enormous divine power and capable of exploding, left Eunhyeon’s hand and flew straight into the sky.
The sight of it flying fiercely through the sky and flying precisely towards the red dragon was like a meteor falling from the sky and opposing it.
[Hmm!?]
Kreuk!?
It was at the same time that Astaros and Red Dragon, who were rampaging in the sky, noticed the abnormality below.
However, it was already too late when he realized that an unusual energy was flying toward him from below as he tore through the air.
Kwaaang!
The silver spear that had already collided with the red dragon pierced the dragon’s scales, which were said to be harder than any other metal, and pierced the dragon’s skin.
Aww!
The red dragon roared violently at the blade of the spear that pierced his abdomen and jumped up in the sky.
The silver spear, which was filled with divine energy, pierced the red dragon’s belly with tremendous penetrating power and bounced upward, passing right in front of Astaroth’s face.
[Keuugh!?]
A menacing attack that would have been a direct hit if the head had been slightly in front.
Being at the top of the demon hierarchy, he instinctively sensed the danger and pulled his body back. The menacing attack made Astaroth angry.
Astaroth, who was convinced that there would be no one to stand against him on this earth, could not tolerate the one who showed an attack that scratched his pride.
[What kind of guy is that!]
Astaroth let out a roar in search of the being who had launched the javelin, and moved his gaze downwards from the attack.
Pierce yourself with a straight gaze. He spotted a silver-haired human staring.
Astaroth felt even greater displeasure at the fact that it was only a human being who launched the attack that had dwarfed him.
It consumed a lot of power while crossing over from the realm of demons, and could only use half of its original power.
As a demon of the highest order, he could not stand the fact that he felt threatened by humans, an uncivilized race in which tens of thousands of people were burned without resisting with a single sweep of his hand.
[Dare… ! On the human subject!]
The red dragon, which had been pierced through the abdomen and stopped breathing, could no longer flap its wings and fell down.
Astaros, who continued to ride on the back of the Red Dragon, who had already been pierced through the abdomen and died, stared at Eun-hyeon, who had scratched his pride, and burned the flames of his entire body with anger.
[I will burn not only your cheeky body, but also your soul!]
[Astaros Unique Ability]
[Fear of Extinction]
A spear made of flame appeared in Astaroth’s hand, which stretched forward.
It only took the shape of a spear, but what was truly terrifying was the bright red flame that formed the shape of the spear.
The flame itself, which is the culmination of Astaroth’s ‘scar of annihilation’, burns, melts, and annihilates everything around it just by touching and existing.
It is the same flame that has claimed many lives and extinguished none other than Brunak.
[Die!]
Astaros, who jumped down from the corpse of the red dragon that was falling down, rushed at Eun-hyeon.
Astaroth’s anger and hostility toward Eun-hyeon, who imprinted himself as a ‘threat’ unreasonably, was very great.
Astaroth was immersed in his conceit and was unaware of it, but instinctively sensed the danger of the silver-haired man, who did not know his name or even his existence.
He couldn’t define it as a ‘threat’, and he was in the illusion of being alone as a ‘cheeky act’ of a mere human being.
He himself is a demon of the highest order, and the existence in front of him is an uncivilized human being who will be swept away into dust just by wielding a flame.
The moment he was about to wield the spear-shaped ‘sword of annihilation’ to turn Eunhyeon’s body into dust.
“Really, I didn’t expect to face this guy again.”
[What… ?]
Astaroth clearly heard Eunhyun’s voice muttering with a bitter smile in a very leisurely manner.
Even in the face of the imminent cataclysm of annihilation, the people in front of me did not feel fear or fear at all.
Eun-hyeon belatedly summoned the silver spear he threw at him earlier to counter Astaroth’s fear of extinction.
[Under! Become dust with the spear!]
Astaros laughed at Eun-hyeon because the human thought of being able to fight against the scare of extinction with only one spear was so uncivilized.
Caang!
[What?]
However, the situation went completely different from Astaroth’s expectations.
Eunhyeon’s spear that touched the fire didn’t even disappear, let alone burn.
Rather, it was too simple to block the flames of Astaros.
When he wasn’t even aware of what was happening, Astaros was shocked to discover the divine aura belatedly surrounding Eunhyeon and the silver spear he was holding.
[How… ! How can you get the power of a god… !]
The divine power that protects from the flames that annihilate everything against its own authority, the annihilation, is a power that can never exist in this underworld.
Eunhyeon did not answer the question of Astaros, who was astonished.
“How is your condition?”
The target Eunhyeon spoke to was not Astaros, but his partner.
[Do you like X? It really doesn’t hurt at all. Did you really succeed?]
“I see. You are still a middle manager.”
The weapon that expresses the feeling of wonder and the owner’s conversation with nonsensical jokes seemed only to make fun of himself to Astaroth, who could not understand the current situation.
[Cheeky… !]
Astaros, resentful of Eun-hyeon’s disrespectful behavior, threatened Eun-hyeon with a spear once again.
[Bryunak spearmanship]
[Snake’s teeth]
Eunhyeon deflected Astaroth’s annihilation frenzy, which he swung to crush his own head, and rotated his body.
Eventually, using his body movements with added rotational power, he dug into Astaroth’s side and threw out his spear.
The straight, upright spearhead pierced Astaroth’s body from an improbable direction, drawing an irregular trajectory like a coiling snake.
[Ah!]
After inserting a spear blade into the fiery body of the demon, and releasing the enormous divine power contained in the spear, the divine aura penetrated the demon’s body and broke the inside.
Eun-hyeon let out a roar close to screaming and retrieved the bruenak from the rampaging Astaros.
Before long, I jumped a long way back, widened the distance, and looked at my partner’s condition.
“How is it? Do you have any faith now?”
[What. This Mi-X guy. I believed in it from the beginning.]
“I groaned and sat down.”
Eun-hyeon laughed at the thought of Brunak’s voice from earlier, which was full of disbelief.
[Human! Human! Human! Aaaaan!]
Staring at Eun-hyeon, the culprit who made Astaroth tear his body with divine power and cause him to feel indescribable pain, his way ran rampant.
As if on the verge of losing her sanity, Eun-hyeon stared at Astaros, who was burning the flames all over her body more intensely, and said to Brunak.
“Let’s go. Now the revenge match begins.”
