Bab 338: 752
[Chapter 192]
[Clash of Gods (5)]
It was only for an instant.
Iriya saw flames suddenly rise from people's bodies.
Is it a gift holder of <Flame Transformation>?
She thought that briefly.
Soon she shook her head.
Gifts of the <Transformation> series were gifts that could be recognized as soon as mana was manifested externally.
In a world where even elementary school students are learning to manifest mana.
It's unlikely someone just realized their gift now.
Then the cause must be elsewhere.
They didn't use magic.
Those people just prayed.
Then to whom did they pray?
Iriya's gaze turned elsewhere again.
Whoosh!!
A world swarming with ghouls.
Screams everywhere.
It wasn't easy to identify someone specific there.
But she could easily find <Crimson Wing> No Eun-ha, whom she called Lord.
""""Oh, Eun-ha God.""""
""""...""""
Crimson flames illuminate the darkness.
Six branches of flames shoot up into the sky, boldly revealing their existence.
The flames burning in the darkness catch everyone's eyes.
People know exactly who the owner of the flames is.
Not only that.
"Please send our father to rest in peace. Father keeps crying that he's in pain. Let him, let him rest peacefully."
"We are great sinners. I just wanted to save my child... I didn't know it would make my child suffer instead."
""""We beseech you, we beseech you.""""
""""Oh Crimson God.""""
People are praying desperately.
Those who know <Crimson Wing>'s achievements were begging him to save them this time too.
Ah, so that's it.
Iriya finally realized.
A phenomenon she couldn't understand with her experience was occurring in the world she was currently perceiving.
Directional, willless atmospheric mana was unfolding in a flow that strengthened <Myeongwang> Sindorim's power.
A phenomenon as if all atmospheric mana had become Sindorim's mana.
So whatever he wished was being implemented in the world.
Whoosh!!
It's the same principle.
Just as the will of ghouls and Mana Religion believers is praising Sindorim.
Though they didn't activate magic.
People's strong belief was implemented, causing a phenomenon like magic throughout the area.
It shows that the atmospheric mana state has become quite sensitive to move according to people's will.
Therefore, the will of people praising No Eun-ha is also being directly reflected in the world.
The dead have come back to life.
Don't attack them.
They are not monsters but people.
This isn't what we wished for.
Our precious people are suffering.
Please save them.
Iriya looked around the battlefield.
As more people broke free from brainwashing, two wills were conflicting.
So some of the atmospheric mana was being reorganized around No Eun-ha.
"─Myeongwang Clan Lord."
"What is it?"
Then use that.
She conveyed her thoughts to Do Wan-jun.
"Hmm.... It's not unreasonable. But will it really work..."
"That person calling himself <Myeongwang> is directly proving it. I think it's possible."
Iriya spoke in a firm tone.
Do Wan-jun, who had been deep in thought, finally decided to follow her opinion.
"I'll create an illusion that the Pandora Clan Lord's flames are protecting them with the belief of people present. While my clan members and I spread out on the battlefield to widen the range."
"Yes, please do. Ultimately, please expand the area where people's beliefs are transmitted to where the Lord is."
"Understood. Still, we seem to be a bit short on manpower... I'll borrow clan member Jo A-ra."
Coincidentally, Jo A-ra was nearby too.
Jo A-ra who once received teachings about illusion magic from Do Wan-jun.
Do Wan-jun spotted her.
Myeongwang Clan members approached her to explain the situation and brought her along.
"Then I'll leave the incitement to you."
"It's not incitement. I'm just conveying the facts as they are."
Do Wan-jun wished her good luck.
Iriya sent him off.
Then she immediately went to find Jin Seo-na and explained the situation to her.
Jin Seo-na nodded.
So Iriya approached people with confident steps.
""""...""""
People shouting for Sindorim.
She stood with people shouting for Eun-ha at her back.
Then she took a deep breath.
And shouted to those in front of her.
"─Is this truly what you wished for!!"
""""...""""
"Can't you hear the voices of people who woke from death!? I'm asking if you can't hear them crying out in pain!!"
Break their will.
At the same time, represent the will of the despairing people behind her.
People's attention was instantly drawn.
Iriya activated magic.
The Lord said,
I will kill death.
"Look at that sky! Right now the Eun-ha God is saving people suffering in death!"
"What is that bitch saying..."
"Please, just look at those flames! See those returning to ashes in the flames the Eun-ha God is raising!"
There was interference in the middle.
Jin Seo-na excellently used telepathy to attack the Mana Religion believer's mind.
To this, Iriya shouted even louder and pointed towards the direction where flames were rising.
Ah... I'm finally dying.
I just want to rest in peace now.
Mom, Dad, I'm sorry.
""""...""""
The illusion of Fantasy Poem and Myeongwang Clan members.
People mistakenly thought they clearly heard the voices of ghouls disappearing as they touched the flames.
"They are rushing at you because they are begging you for salvation! Those souls want to return to the Mana God's embrace!"
""""...!!""""
"Otherwise, why would they jump into the Lord's fire like moths and utter such words!?"
""""...""""
"Receive salvation from the Eun-ha God! Please, let go of them who are suffering because of you!"
One by one, voices emerge.
The people Iriya carried on her back were joining her assertion.
Iriya gained even more strength.
"You are all sinners. Sinners who kill people who died once twice just to fulfill your own wishes!!"
""""...""""
"So if you want to atone for that sin, pray not to the devil Sindorim but to the Eun-ha God! Repent now and earnestly beg the Eun-ha God to save them!"
At that moment.
Iriya's strong will was implemented.
With a whoosh─
""""─...!!""""
"...This flame is proof!! Receive the Eun-ha God's grace and let the dead enter peaceful rest!! Be saved by the Eun-ha God's flames! Only the Eun-ha God's flames can give them rest!"
Flames dwelled in her body.
Not illusion but reality.
Iriya persuaded people while speaking in a moved tone.
"Believe in <Crimson Wing>!"
"Receive salvation from the Eun-ha God!"
"The flames of salvation follow us!"
""""Oh, Crimson God!""""
People taking Iriya's side.
Flames dwelled in their bodies too.
People's morale was instantly revived.
Whoosh!!
Sparks cover the battle line.
☆
Sindorim's power keeps getting stronger.
Because people are supporting him.
Eun-ha understood the phenomenon of mana dissolved in the air moving according to Sindorim's will.
Not long ago, Eun-ha had experienced a similar phenomenon too.
Therefore─
─Unification of Will
Just as Sindorim does.
He too uses other people's will as power.
Eun-ha summoned his avatar to unify their will.
"Ugh...!!"
Nevertheless, Eun-ha was being pushed back by Sindorim in pure skill.
The will of two people couldn't overcome the will of countless people.
It could be said he gained something just by controlling the atmospheric mana that started to become uncontrollable.
Just <Earth Dragon> Chong Eun-ju was having difficulty casting magic.
"The power of magic isn't following as much as I thought."
Eun-ha, Chong Eun-ju, and others weren't able to deal any significant damage to Sindorim who seemed to have become the protagonist.
It felt like they had become supporting actors.
It feels like we're standing on a solo stage just for Sindorim.
Eun-ha clicked his tongue.
Some unknown force seemed to be forcibly lowering his rank.
Though he was holding out with Unification of Will, Eun-ha was getting more and more strained as time passed.
Beast <Gift>
Mode: Blade Wolf
Blade Thrust
Flow Speed
Flash Sword
It was barely maintaining the balance of power.
Because reinforcements had arrived.
Eun-ha and Jean Valjean retreated while Choi Eun-hyeok and Jin Parang covered them.
Spirit Talisman
Archangel's Blessing
Eun-ah and <Holy Mother> Park Hye-rim recast the buffs that were just canceled by Sindorim.
Also, Cha Eun-woo somewhere on the battlefield cast magic to rapidly restore internal mana.
─Hermes' Steps
Meteor Shower
Meanwhile in the air, Kaede was pouring down magic to intercept the ground.
She who could walk in the air like on the ground was barely maintaining air superiority with other players.
Roooooooar!!
Then, Sindorim activated magic.
Drawing in nearby ghouls, he synthesized them into a dragon.
A dragon emitting a putrid smell with visible torn flesh.
It flapped its wings powerfully to seize air superiority.
─Earth Dragon Summoning
Winter Blooming Coldly
Familiar Transformation
Phoenix Wings
Kaede or others can't handle it.
Chong Eun-ju immediately activated magic.
A dragon made of rock shot up to chase it.
Jean Valjean also released the black dragon contained in Winter Blooming Coldly.
Roooooooar!!
The two dragons attack.
But they weren't enough to stop the dragon with its massive body.
Meanwhile, Eun-ha flew up into the sky and put strength into his sword.
──!!!
The sword blade dyed in brilliant light.
Flames swirl around the sword blade.
He instantly occupied a higher position than the decaying dragon.
Blast Cross
He didn't know how many times he had used it just today.
His head felt like it was about to split.
Eun-ha endured the pain and jumped into the flames.
It was still alive even after taking a direct hit.
These damn ghouls...!!
They don't die no matter how much you kill them.
Eun-ha gritted his teeth.
Aggressive mana was thick.
It was the result of his magic colliding with the dragon's magic.
Dunning Blade
The two sword blades shine white.
Eun-ha entered the mouth of the roaring beast coming at him.
It's dark.
But the light emitted from the swords illuminates the darkness.
Eun-ha unleashed one magic he had compressed as much as possible.
──!!
The world flashes with light.
The dragon's body bursts.
Eun-ha immediately fell.
One sword strike was still left.
Star Plucking
Kaede read his intention.
Even without Eun-ha actively searching, she indicated the direction with an arrow.
Eun-ha followed the trajectory left by the arrow's tail.
His vision is pushed back.
Tiny dots gradually grow larger and Sindorim's figure comes into view.
──!!
He's activating some magic.
Eun-ha decided to get closer to him faster than that.
As soon as the magic circle appeared─
─Dunning Blade
Eun-ha released his sword blade.
A pure white slash tears through the magic circle.
Nevertheless, part of the magic circle was completed and started to be implemented.
Eun-ha who launched the slash immediately caused ripples in the area.
Hamper Wave
The magic is broken.
Dunning Blade's slash cuts off Sindorim's arm.
Not stopping there─
─Blast Counter
Jean Valjean moved.
Appearing behind Sindorim, he causes an explosion.
Timed with that, people nearby fired all kinds of magic.
Sindorim who couldn't even defend properly has his limbs torn off in the explosion.
However─
─Life Vessel
Corpse Shield
Doom Destruction
As long as Shin Yeon-su is alive.
Sindorim doesn't die.
His body torn to shreds is newly reconstructed.
Hamper Wave
It doesn't matter.
Eun-ha applied jamming.
A lag phenomenon occurred in his reconstruction.
There was a time delay in reconstructing the body.
Wubo
Blaze Crusher
If Sindorim has fallen into inaction.
Then there's only one thing to do.
Jean Valjean's figure disappears.
Jean Valjean who appeared in front of Shin Yeon-su swings his sword.
Corpse Shield
Shin Yeon-su's defense.
Jean Valjean's sword is blocked.
Right after, a commander-class legion commander attacks him who exposed his back.
Shift Change
Imitating Choi Eun-hyeok's Sword Spirit Return.
Magic Eun-ha devised in his own way.
Eun-ha switched positions with his avatar.
While blocking the falling sword in front of him─
─Flame Thorn
He fired three thorns orbiting Winter Blooming Coldly.
The flame-wrapped thorns pierced holes in its armor.
Its body collapses.
Jean Valjean who switched positions with Eun-ha quickly jumped at Shin Yeon-su.
Prominence Lance
Flame spear.
The spear that flew tearing up the ground finally pierces through the ghouls' barrier.
Shift Change
Eun-ha switched positions again.
Right then─
─Huh?
Eun-ha only now perceived the world.
The world was blazing.
Whoosh!!
Under the black sky.
Crimson sparks flutter.
The surroundings were enveloped in flames.
The flames burned without extinguishing, adding strength to Eun-ha.
Please save us.
And a voice was heard.
The combined voices of countless people rang out clearly.
─Divine Crimson
He understood intuitively.
People's will gathers to him, and the world is reorganized around him.
It's his solo stage.
Eun-ha felt his presence grow enormously.
──!!
The flames blaze fiercely.
The crimson wings extending from his back roar as they heat up the air.
Crimson sparks gather in his sword.
A flame stream whose form can't be discerned.
Eun-ha quickly blew off her hand with the flame stream held in his left hand.
"...!!"
Regeneration doesn't occur.
The hand just disappears.
Shock spread across Shin Yeon-su's face.
Nevertheless, Eun-ha didn't care and thrust the flame stream held in his right hand.
─Whoosh!!
The flame stream that erases existence.
Pierces through her body.
