Bab 339: 753
[Chapter 192]
[Clash of Gods (6)]
A world where sparks scatter.
Flames embrace Eun-ha.
At the same time, the sparks brushing his cheeks carried the voices of people earnestly praying to him.
Please save our child.
I am a sinner. I will gladly accept any punishment for my sins. But please, just save him.
You are our only hope.
We beg you.
It was a mysterious thing.
People were unifying their minds, and further aligning their will with his.
The world consisting of himself and Jean Valjean was expanding much wider.
─So this is the macrocosm.
Centered on the microcosm that is himself.
Other microcosms gather as one.
And that forms the macrocosm.
Eun-ha realized.
Whoosh!
Not just his own will.
He uses the will of those praying to him as the source of magic.
Thus flames encroach on the world, annihilating everything.
No, purifying.
"Ah... Aah..."
Pierced by an unextinguishable flame stream.
Shin Yeon-su breathes heavily.
If she had been a living person, she would have lost consciousness from the flames burning inside her body.
But her body disappearing as it burned in the flames remained unchanged.
It was then.
─Please resurrect my brother.
A familiar voice.
It was Shin Yeon-su's voice.
Eun-ha opened his eyes wide.
And understood the situation.
In the world made of people's will, Shin Yeon-su's will was also there.
No matter what price I must pay, please save my brother.
Her will conveys memories.
Fragmentary memories.
But Eun-ha could know that she sacrificed her own soul as the price to resurrect Sindorim with <Miracle>.
Yes, I'll give it.
Just as brother sacrificed for me, now it's my turn to sacrifice for brother.
The emotions her voice conveyed.
Devotion to family, longing, affection.
Eun-ha could feel many things.
Therefore─
"─You've been through a lot."
"Ah..."
He placed his hand gently on her head that was disappearing into mana particles.
Shin Yeon-su raises her head.
She makes a somewhat dazed face.
Though not all the memories inside her body were Shin Yeon-su's, Eun-ha grinned.
"Rest well now."
"..."
Soon her face disappears too.
At the end.
She smiled with her eyes.
Whoosh!
A world where flames bloom.
Eun-ha mourned Shin Yeon-su's death while receiving the scattering sparks.
And turned around.
The battle wasn't over yet.
☆
Shin Yeon-su disappeared.
The Life Vessel disappeared too.
Now there was nothing stopping Sindorim's death.
"Yeon..., su..."
Sindorim who seemed to have lost his mind.
While Eun-ha was attacking Shin Yeon-su.
Sindorim who finished reconstructing his body uttered those words haltingly.
It seemed his reason was trying to return.
"Ah... Ah, aaaah..."
""""...""""
But that was only for a moment.
The mana manifested from Sindorim's body dyed the surroundings black.
Black liquid dripped from Sindorim's eyes.
He completely lost his reason.
Eun-ha and others could notice Sindorim's state.
Mana rampage.
Even what little consciousness remained has completely flown away.
What was Sindorim's goal?
The complete resurrection of his younger sister Shin Yeon-su.
Hadn't he been shouting that all along?
But he lost his purpose, so it was understandable that his emotions intensified to the point of losing reason and causing mana rampage.
──!!
His skin gradually becomes murky.
He gradually leaves the human realm.
The skin on his face falls off in chunks.
Something like reptile scales is revealed.
Monster and human.
Sindorim who stepped into the intermediate stage struck the ground with his skull staff.
The Dead's Parade
Ghouls rise up again.
As long as thoughts are dissolved in mana.
Until all those thoughts disappear, ghouls don't decrease even if reduced.
Furthermore, ghouls wrapped in black mana began to change rapidly.
""""...""""
Ghouls that became a bit closer to humans.
The aura they emitted all reached commander-class ghoul level or higher.
Each individual at least 6th rank or higher.
Their number easily over 100.
The numbers kept increasing.
Compared to that, the players surrounding Sindorim numbered about 20.
Not stopping there─
─The Dead's Chimerism
There were monsters around too.
And monsters that became ghouls.
They underwent changes.
Some monster's arm was cut off, some monster's head was cut off.
Head, arms, torso, legs, wings, etc.
Sindorim took only their advantages and created monsters of a new dimension.
Kyaaaaaaah─!!!!!!
Beyond heterogeneous.
Beings that only evoke disgust.
Acts showing no respect for life weren't limited to just targeting monsters.
Even player corpses were used.
The combination of ghoul and human and player itself bestowed unpleasantness.
Finally, Sindorim didn't hesitate to give his own body to the ghouls either.
""""...""""
Wings sprout on Sindorim's back.
Large horns grow on his head.
His lower body transforms into a monster's body.
Lower body covered in dark fur.
Soon his shoulders broaden greatly, and his upper body also grew rapidly.
An appearance reminiscent of Demon-type monsters.
Roooooooar!!
He roared.
He scatters magic around with his cloak that has now shrunk like a cape.
──!!
Debuffs calling all kinds of status abnormalities.
People's mana resistance was powerless before the artifact's magic.
People existing in the world Sindorim dominated didn't match his rank.
Conversely, Sindorim and the ghouls were being protected by the mana dyeing the world black.
Right then─
─Whoosh!
Winter Blooming Coldly
Black mana encroaching on the world.
The black mana squirming like tentacles shrank as soon as it touched the flames.
At the same time, flower petals scattered.
Red flower petals blazing in flames invaded Sindorim's world.
The effect of the flower petals wasn't great.
It did show some effect in resolving the debuffs players received.
But the flower petals couldn't fully exert their abilities in Sindorim's world and crumbled desolately.
Nevertheless─
─Whoosh!
In No Eun-ha's world.
Flames blazed endlessly.
The flames increase their force.
The flames that invaded Sindorim's world quickly embrace people.
Without inflicting any damage.
Flames that just warmly embrace them.
Crimson flames purified debuffs and empowered them.
People's faces regained vitality.
Doom Destruction
Blast Cross
Soon, without anyone going first.
Eun-ha and Sindorim.
The two collided.
And their worlds also collided.
☆
It was a world beyond common sense.
They say nothing is impossible in this world where magic exists to begin with.
Nevertheless, the phenomenon occurring before her eyes now was surprising from <Earth Dragon> Chong Eun-ju's perspective.
It's not theoretically impossible.
But only theoretically.
Will was implemented in the world.
That is magic.
But now No Eun-ha and Sindorim were implementing not just their own will, but even the will of people following them in the world.
As a result, the world changed.
Whatever they wished was being perfectly implemented in this world without causing even a hair's breadth of error.
Whoosh!!
──!!
Under one world.
Two worlds are colliding.
Black mana squirming like tentacles and crimson flames are fighting.
Chong Eun-ju judged while taking in the world where will was visualized with her eyes.
She could also hear the sounds coming from the two worlds.
Believe in the Mana God.
Let's resurrect dead people.
Sounds heard from Sindorim's world.
The will constituting his world was crying out in despair.
Let's save them from suffering.
The crimson flames will save them.
So believe in the Crimson God.
Conversely, the sounds heard from Eun-ha's world rang out clearly.
The will constituting his world was earnestly hoping.
This is like...
Not just Sindorim and Eun-ha are fighting in front of us.
The people who believe in them are also fighting each other.
Gods governing each world, and believers who believe in them are fighting.
It feels like watching a myth.
Chong Eun-ju felt that way.
At the same time─
─Amazing.
Stepping into the world of flames.
Chong Eun-ju involuntarily shuddered.
Not just her.
All people straddling the two people's worlds were like that.
Though they must surely be the same humans.
She didn't feel like No Eun-ha or Sindorim were humans like herself.
It felt like seeing beings of a different rank than herself.
Especially the atmosphere Eun-ha exuded felt extremely sacred.
I thought this during the Seoul Disaster too, but what the hell is that guy?
Anyway... Where did that <Divine Wind> bitch find such a monster...
Even before Eun-ha changed the world.
When the series of events occurred, Chong Eun-ju was inwardly admiring the skills Eun-ha showed.
<Crimson Wing> No Eun-ha.
He possessed skills whose limits couldn't even be gauged.
His experience and skills that couldn't possibly be called those of someone in their 20s were truly amazing.
By her standards, No Eun-ha's skills seemed to rival <First Sword> or <Yama> or <Thunder Emperor>.
No, No Eun-ha who was now being regarded as a 'god' seemed to be at a much higher level than those three.
And also─
─You'd think mental strength would hit rock bottom after continuously fighting such an army...
I'm just envious that he's still so full of energy.
The Pandora Clan members stood out too.
Chong Eun-ju focused on the Pandora Clan members fighting somewhere on the battlefield.
Sacred Photon
The Lord said,
I will kill death.
Purifying Wind
<Fairy> No Eun-ah.
<Saint of the Order> Iriya.
<Angel of the Battlefield> Cha Eun-woo.
The three were currently surrounding the battlefield from all directions with <Holy Mother> Park Hye-rim.
They were continuously eliminating numerous ghouls with purification magic.
Commander-class and above ghouls were tough, but the numerous ordinary ghouls were tough too.
But thanks to the three blocking the ghouls' proliferation, Chong Eun-ju and people fighting ghouls in the center were much less burdened.
Each person has skills almost on par with <Holy Mother>.
It wouldn't be strange to call <Fairy> equal now, and <Saint of the Order>'s potential can't be ignored.
Lastly, <Angel of the Battlefield> resembles <Holy Mother> the most.
The battlefield is noticeably shrinking.
Because the four people including <Holy Mother> were exerting their full power.
And the flames were blazing and expanding their force that much.
Kyaaaaaaah!!
To this, Sindorim struggles desperately.
The huge demon blocks Eun-ha's sword and strikes down a rushing player.
At that moment, a huge wolf leaps up and catches the falling player.
<Gale> Jin Parang.
He was allowing players fighting breathlessly to catch their breath while rampaging through the battlefield.
And─
─Meteor Shower
The sky flashed.
The flash dispersed into hundreds of branches.
Arrow rain imbued with Iriya's magic fell on Sindorim.
<Star Arrow> Hoshimiya Kaede.
The single strike she created swept away the ghouls around Sindorim.
People who distanced themselves from Sindorim after receiving telepathy from Jin Seo-na just before prepared for the next attack.
And among them─
─Backflow
Crescent Moon Slash
Sword Spirit Return
Flash Sword
<Divine Sword> Choi Eun-hyeok.
He ran through the battlefield.
Taking advantage of the gap when the chimera-type ghoul's attention was dispersed from being hit by the arrow rain.
Choi Eun-hyeok who rushed in lowering his body to avoid its eyes bared his teeth.
One sword and five swords floating around.
A total of six swords slashed the chimera-type ghoul's chest.
Roooooooar!!
The monster screams.
It was clearly a critical hit.
The enraged beast tried to grab Choi Eun-hyeok clinging to its chest.
Immediately players unleashed the magic they were casting.
Some intercepted Sindorim.
The rest intercepted it.
Choi Eun-hyeok didn't panic.
─Star Plucking
Just before the magic hit.
At an almost exquisite timing, an arrow brushed past his side.
Choi Eun-hyeok quickly disappeared to the other side while catching the arrow's trajectory.
And it was bombarded.
Lock Stake
Load Grenade
Cover Hellfire
Accelerate
─Meteor
<Quartet> Jo A-ra.
By then, Jo A-ra had also come deep into the battlefield with <Fantasy Poem>.
She designated the target at the point Choi Eun-hyeok attacked.
Huge boulders fell.
The chimera-type ghoul hurriedly dodged but some were embedded in its body.
──!!
The impacted rocks caused explosions from the inside.
It couldn't withstand the explosions.
Most of its body was blown away.
Rock fragments were sparsely embedded in the body parts that weren't blown away.
Gift <Beast>
Mode: Blade Wolf
Blade Thrust
Sword Spirit Return
Flash Sword
Earth Dragon's Bombardment
Choi Eun-hyeok, Jin Parang, Chong Eun-ju.
They who activated magic almost simultaneously finally cut off its breath.
It disappears into fragments.
Chong Eun-ju who confirmed its death immediately placed both hands on the ground.
Earth Dragon's Rage
The ground shook greatly.
Cracks form in the earth.
She annihilated all the ghouls rushing at her by collapsing the ground.
The magic's impact didn't end there and headed towards Sindorim.
"...!!"
The ground Sindorim was standing on.
As that collapsed, Sindorim momentarily lost balance.
Eun-ha didn't miss that moment.
Whoosh─!!
Prominence Dance
Crimson flames roar.
Three pairs of wings spread widely and rapidly encroach on Sindorim's world.
World of flames.
Eun-ha wrapped in a veil of flames swung his sword towards him like that.
Crimson flames engulf him.
His screams are drowned out by the sound of burning fire.
☆
Who am I?
Sindorim wandered in the sea of consciousness.
It hurts, it hurts so much...
I'msorryI'msorryI'msorryI'lllivewellfrommowonsopleasedon'tkillme!!
This isn't what I wished for.
Kill those bastards! Heretics deserve to die!!
I miss my dad.
All kinds of sounds were heard.
Mostly despair, anger, sadness, pain.
He was being sucked into their will and gradually assimilating with them.
He couldn't bring back his younger sister either.
I don't know.
Now let whatever happens happen.
He didn't want to think about anything.
He just entrusted himself to the chaos mixed with people's will.
It was right then.
─Receive salvation in the crimson flames.
Receive salvation and rest in peace.
A completely different sound disconnected from the sounds he was hearing was heard.
Whoosh.
Flames blazed from somewhere.
...
The will of people in the chaos fell silent.
As if entranced by something.
They looked at the flames.
Sindorim was no exception.
Sindorim, who had grasped his fading consciousness, also turned his gaze to the flames.
Voices came from there.
I'm sorry, Dad. This isn't what I meant to do. I just wanted to see you one more time.
I hate seeing you in pain more than not being able to see you again.
I'm sorry. Please rest in peace now.
Mom, Dad. I love you. Thank you so much for raising me.
Warm voices.
People's wills stirred.
It was the same for Sindorim.
─I'm sorry, brother.
I'm so sorry to you, brother.
Among the resounding voices.
He heard his younger sister's voice.
At that moment, his consciousness became clear.
The crimson flames will save them.
Receive salvation.
Blazing flames.
Sindorim reached out his hand to grasp those flames.
Then his vision became clear.
He regained control of the chaos once again.
Whoosh!
There was a man wrapped in flames.
And in his chest was the sword held in that man's right hand.
Flames were rising from there.
"You're really persistent..."
The man clicked his tongue.
He moves the sword held in his left hand.
Sindorim watched that.
"...!!"
If he just willed it.
He could have turned the crisis around.
But Sindorim didn't resist and closed his eyes.
Whether the man showed signs of surprise or not, he spread both his arms wide.
Receive salvation in the crimson flames.
Those words didn't leave him.
Sindorim lost the will to fight.
He didn't want to suffer anymore.
So he chose to face death himself in the gap where he regained control.
Then the man seemed to sense his heart too.
"─Farewell."
In a world full of flames.
The man bid farewell.
─Divine Crimson
