Chapter 987 – 987. Witch’s Han (2)
A storm raged.
A huge vortex of wind rose into the sky and engulfed the palace, expanding in size at the same time.
Its appearance was so menacing that it could be seen from tens of kilometers away from the royal palace, the center of the storm, showing off its terrifying presence.
“You do it brilliantly. Tsk.”
The nine-tailed fox, who was watching it from afar, clicked his tongue slightly.
As expected, that woman, Illyana, was different from ordinary magicians in that she was something outside the standard.
Doesn’t an ordinary magician possess an enormous amount of magical power that exceeds his own? Moreover, to shoot out magic of that magnitude without any thought, he is no longer human.
She said, ‘She was gifted with some of the power of the goddess.’
It is said that Erina, who inherited the power of the divine beast she possessed, is also gradually growing and growing, but Illyana was not able to say that she was growing.
As soon as she began utilizing what she called the ‘Future Operations’, which she received from her goddess Skuldra, one of the three goddesses of her operations, she took her own magic and abilities to higher levels.
To the extent that her own status, which matches her reputation as a divine beast, is laughable.
‘I knew the world was wide.’
Just because one receives special favors from a goddess does not mean one can grow into something outside the standard.
Talent.
The driving force that makes you throw away the limitations that humans can have and soar like crazy as if you have wings as soon as you see the path to the top.
Simply because it has a lot of magic attribute.
Just because he had a natural talent in the field of magic.
But what is scarier than that is the desire to use all of them to climb up.
The nine-tailed fox knew this all too well.
That’s why I had no choice but to admit it.
The driving force behind Illyana’s desire to grow is to realize her desire to be with the man she loves for the rest of her life.
Just for that purpose, she has achieved a level of magic that transcends the human realm.
Overwhelming magical power, an innate sense of how to handle that magical power, and the ability to grow to a higher level: a strong desire that encompasses all of it and does not hesitate to utilize it.
Cheon-o-oe-cheon (天外天).
A higher sky above the sky.
The feeling of despair I felt the moment I realized that the person who had easily surpassed me was a human who had lived a short life of just over 40 years.
“There is no such thing as a crazy bitch.”
“Miho? “What are you talking about?”
“… It is nothing.”
The nine-tailed fox looked at Gerard, who was tilting at his muttered words, and then focused on the enemy in front again.
Now was not the time to worry about what was happening far away.
“Okay.”
Eunhyeon, who received a brief update on the current situation from Eleanor, nodded her head.
“That… What on earth could it be? “I can’t believe that this is a type of creature that exists in this world.”
Eunhyeon answered Eleanoa’s questions.
“That is a mass of thoughts created by malicious intentions. “It’s something that shouldn’t even exist in this world in the first place.”
Holding the golden and silver moons in both hands, he stared at the evil in front of him.
Through ‘insight,’ she saw through the essence of the black-fingered tree.
A monster of appetite who just wants to eat.
The culmination of the desire to chew and digest all human flesh, blood, and bones.
A predator that does not know that no matter how much it eats, it is not enough, and because it does not know the end, it craves to eat everything within its range of awareness.
Therefore, its ability was focused solely on ‘predation’.
A wide range attack that can hunt dozens of targets at the same time in order to tear and chew many things at once.
And the speed and penetrating power to pierce the target at once.
The original evil that specializes in one field of desire satisfies its desires and is eventually born as a devil.
“Of course, I don’t think that’s the only thing.”
Eunhyeon frowned.
What I confirmed through ‘insight’ was that something had settled in the center of that tree, in the place made up of tens of thousands of fingers.
“… “It’s like a fetus.”
It looked like a fetus nestled in its mother’s womb, and I felt very uncomfortable.
“Yes?”
“I don’t think it’s a problem that can be solved by getting rid of that.”
It seemed like the situation would be solved not by simply uprooting the black-fingered tree, but by getting rid of something inside the tree.
◆ ◆ ◆
Even as she was caught in the fierce storm that engulfed the royal palace, the Black Witch thought.
Even as she created a barrier of magic and the fierce blades of wind whipped around, her doubts were not resolved.
‘Why?’
Why did this woman, another version of herself, appear before her eyes?
Originally, she should not have been Illyana, but Eunhyeon’s expedition team should have arrived and appeared in front of her.
So, the existence of the Void Stone was deliberately leaked into Eunhyeon’s field of vision.
So that we can reach this palace to destroy the Void Stone.
In other words, the fallen Kingdom of Rendir itself was a trap prepared by the Black Witch for Eunhyeon.
I planned to spend a lot of time and effort, entangle his body and body, and then take him to my own dimension.
For some reason, it was my other self, Illyana, who appeared in this trap.
Even though she knew that this place was a trap, she showed herself.
“You look very annoyed because things didn’t go your way.”
There was no way that proper sound could be heard as the sharp wind tore through the air, but Illyana’s voice was clearly audible.
It was not simply a voice speaking in person.
A transmitted sound that carries mana and travels through the air directly to the other person’s ears, regardless of the violent storm.
“…”
Even though she didn’t need to convey it, the black witch’s brows narrowed at the sound of Illyana’s voice speaking as if she understood her entire psychology.
Illyana’s intentions were clear.
To mock and provoke oneself.
It was as if the sound of her silent laughter, containing her sneer, was ringing in her own ears.
“Just this much…”
The Black Witch showed her annoyance and gestured towards the massive storm that had engulfed her.
With a light gesture, she made a motion that seemed to pull back her curtains, and the fierce storm that had swept across the capital was lifted.
There were no magical chants, changes in the flow of magical power needed to manifest magic, or any spells.
He demonstrates God’s art of twisting the very laws of this world, and lifts the curtain of the storm.
Countless pieces of debris that had been blown upward by the storm fell to the ground under the influence of gravity.
Among them were rocks so large that ordinary human strength could not lift them, but none of them caused any harm to the two witches.
The surrounding barrier prevented collision with the rock.
Even as the storm cleared and rocks fell from the sky, Illyana and the Black Witch did not run away, but instead stood there staring at each other.
“Are you so proud that you can kill me like this?”
“No way, that can’t be possible.”
Illyana chuckled.
A nine-digit level that cannot be reached by human limitations.
Even though the magic of transcendence was blocked in vain, she shows no sign of being shaken at all.
As if she had predicted from the beginning that this would be the case.
“What are you doing?”
“…”
“I plan to kill you. “I guess you don’t want to kill me?”
Illyana continued to taunt the Black Witch.
The black witch narrowed her eyes in annoyance at the words that were blatantly scratching her.
“The reason you can’t show your full force against me now. The reason why you have been hiding until now, avoiding a direct confrontation with me. Shall I guess?”
“Shut up.”
“Are you afraid of me?”
“Shut up.”
“To be precise, if you consume too much magical power in your fight with me, you will have no means of tying Hyeoni up.”
“… !”
At that moment, the black witch’s eyes opened wide and she took her breath away.
It was the perfect answer.
“You look like you’re asking how you know.” I’ve figured out all your moves and plans. Therefore…”
Illyana glared at her dark witch with a stern expression.
“I won’t let you run into Hyun.”
“You really think you can stop me… !”
“There is.”
Without a single hesitation, she answered with confidence, as if in contrast to his.
In response to her promise that she would never give up her own place, and on the contrary, her assurance that there would never be a place for you, the black witch’s stress was building up more and more.
Illyana increasingly irritated the dark witch, who had become sensitive due to the fact that her buttons had been wrongly placed from the start.
“There’s no way you could stop me!”
Finally her witch’s patience exploded.
Explosive magic power sweeps around the black witch, roaring fiercely like a wild beast.
“I was just a lucky bitch who happened to be in this dimension… !”
The Black Witch poured out all of her inner thoughts that she had kept hidden for so long, all of her emotions stained by her jealousy.
Among the countless dimensions she has glimpsed, over 1.4 million, the only dimension where the world is not destroyed and Eunhyeon is alive.
She hated her other self so much that she just belonged there.
Why could she have taken that position herself?
Why did such luck and happiness come to someone else rather than to herself?
She couldn’t understand, she was angry, she couldn’t accept it.
So in order to take her place, the Black Witch arrived here.
As if to represent the Black Witch’s emotions, stained with jealousy and anger, the area around her shakes with ominous magic and her air begins to distort.
“That’s right. “I’m really lucky.”
Expressing the wave of her intense emotions and feeling her violently shaking magic power, Illyana calmly acknowledged the Black Witch’s actions.
Only one out of 1.4 million odds.
That was the number she was chosen for.
It’s such a touching gift from heaven that I can’t even express how lucky I am.
So Illyana smiled as she faced the black witch, who was shaking with her strong emotions as she looked at her.
“So I don’t plan on getting it taken away. “To people like you.”
I never intended to lose it.
“No one can take Hyeoni. “Because I will live with you forever by my side.”
So it will never be taken away.
Illyana continued to irritate the black witch.
“Do you want me to tell you why you can’t beat me?”
The more she loses her senses, and the more she reveals her power to herself, the less likely she is to be able to capture Eunhyeon alive. I had no choice but to do so.
That was the reason why the Black Witch was reluctant to face Illyana head-on.
By hiding her presence and not revealing her location, she made Illyana continue to search for her, and this was also the reason why she tried to separate Eun-hyeon.
So, Illyana was upset so that the Black Witch could drain her power by pouring all of her power into herself rather than her Eunhyeon.
For example.
“I have a baby.”
She brags about something she has that she doesn’t have.
“… What?”
For a moment, the black witch’s expression took on a blank look.
The red magic power of the sword that fluctuated, representing her intense emotions, also suddenly stopped.
Illyana’s story that the Black Witch heard was shocking.
“You look exactly like Hyun, you’re really pretty and cute.”
“What… ?”
I wanted to deny it, saying I heard it wrong.
She couldn’t accept that she could never do that, that she couldn’t accept the fact that she was living happily ever after, enjoying what she didn’t have, and that she was only lucky enough to have this abominable self in front of her.
“I’m going to give birth to a really handsome son later.”
It was something the Black Witch desperately wanted and wanted, but she could never get it in her hands.
“Forever in love with Hyun.”
Scratching.
“Shut up.”
“Hyun, my son, and my daughter.”
Scratching.
“Shut up…”
“I will live happily ever after.”
Scratching again.
“It may be impossible for you.”
“Shut up!”
The Black Witch continues to scratch her heart.
Until the Black Witch loses her temper and she unleashes her power upon herself.
“I will kill you! That spot! That place… ! “It’s my place!”
The time has finally arrived.
The black witch’s magical power, stained with jealousy and anger, radiated strongly as if it had recoiled from the moment it stopped, encroaching on her surroundings.
“No. This is my place. “Not you.”
The magic power of the two witches fluctuated and collided.
