9th Class Sword Master: The Guardian of the Sword - Chapter 447
Episode 447
Episode 143. The history of the void [What are you talking about?]
Yuma did not hide his annoyance.
Hwa was an existence that could not even inflict a single blow even with the power of the demon god of the underworld that had fully descended, but for some reason, he was not uncomfortable or afraid.
‘In the first place, the fight itself can’t be established… I can’t intimidate them into sticking together.’
It was not because of the difference in combat power or authority that Hwawa was impossible to fight. It was a conclusion that I came to by looking at Hwa calmly for a while.
Rather, in terms of destructive power, the current Hwa was not even close to Yuma’s toes.
Even so, the reason why Yuma couldn’t hit Hwa was no different.
It was because ‘fighting’ was a meaningless action to the god Hwaran.
he didn’t fight It just existed, and its existence itself played the role of erasing the world.
‘As I compared myself to water and wind just now, this guy is closer to nature than to God.’
No matter how strong it is, can it fight water or wind?
Even if the sea is evaporated with tremendous heat, it cannot be said that it has won the battle against the water, and it will be the same even if the wind is blocked with an impenetrable curtain.
So I was annoyed.
Hwa had no purpose. Existence itself is only a purpose and cannot be suppressed by force because it is nature.
[I understand that you only exist. Hey, that’s right… You’re not asking me to understand why you’re trying to get rid of everything without a countermeasure, right?]
[We don’t need to understand each other.]
Upon hearing the answer, Yuma sighed.
In the meantime, I’ve been thinking about what kind of conversation I would have if I met Hwa. He wondered if he could hear about other secrets related to Hwa himself or the justification of his purpose.
However, when I actually met him, the expected flow was an atmosphere I could not expect at all.
In that respect, he felt more like a god than any other god Yuma had ever met.
He was a being who did not need a cause, a justification, or even a reason.
In a word, it was perfect, so there was no room for negotiation.
[Yes, you are just flowing like water. Then, it would be natural for me to stop you.]
Roaring!
A sword was gripped by the figure of a demon from the underworld rising behind Yuma’s back.
A shape so gigantic that it looked more like a pillar supporting the world than a sword. It was the true form of Arilla, the sword of death.
Riding the sword body, the demon was blazing. The spirits of the lions could be seen through the flowing magic, and they constantly let out a grievous scream.
At the same time as Amulla was summoned, the entire island began to shake as if it would turn off at any moment. The dark energy exuded by the ghosts spread out into the strait, squeezing the entire island.
A tsunami started from the island.
It’s a shame because it’s a remote uninhabited island, but if it was a little closer to the inland where humans live, they would all have died.
[Isn’t that so?]
Yuma said, pointing to the dead body of Soluto, where Hwa was manifested.
‘In the past, Soluto said Amulla was a means to kill Hwa… but that was incorrect information. Hwa cannot be killed by anything.’
Soluto wasn’t the only one who said that Amulla could kill Hwa. Mahatrisha and Kriesha were also in the position that it was possible, but they all got it wrong.
Because they had never directly owned the sword of death.
‘The reason why he reacted to Aryeolla in the dimension of emptiness was probably because he didn’t like the power of another underworld entering his realm… Yuma glared at Hwa with a frustrated heart
.
According to Soluto’s last words, he could have delayed the real advent of Hwa a little by eating Soluto’s body that was manifesting.
But it was just there. What can be done with the power of Aryeol Ra?
[Yes. It’s just that your act of stopping me has no meaning.]
[There is one curious thing. According to what you said, you are just flowing, so why did you command the apostles to force humans to start a war? Isn’t that unnatural?]
[I don’t do anything.]
[What?]
[They took my power and used it at will. I don’t need an apostle, I don’t need anyone to prove my strength, and I don’t need helpers to help me.]
[Buzz! Just looking at the Solto that you tied up right now, isn’t it that you forcibly made him an apostle? He was originally a dragon serving Geil. How do you explain the power of a warlock named Shiram?]
Hwa shook her head once.
[They couldn’t overcome their despair and just buried themselves in the void.]
[Ha!]
[You still don’t know? It’s just that the time has come. The time given to ‘things with color’
is over and you won’t be able to do much.]
What you can do.
What can he do against the mad god who only wants this void itself?
While having a few words of conversation with Hwa, Yuma wondered if Rizol was realizing the true nature of God Hwa from the very beginning.
‘Rizol knew. That there is no means to counter Hwa.
That’s why I was preparing to move to a new world.’
Then, Risol had met with Hwa.
What is lysol?
The thought bites its tail. At this point when Geile completely disappeared, he still used the power of light and was struggling to get away from Hwa by using it.
[The end of the ‘colored things’ has come… Hwa and Rizol are trying to run away from you. Do you know?]
[He’s not running away from me. It’s about running away from yourself. From ‘real’.]
[Not from you, but from yourself…?]
[Ha ha ha. Shall I tell you the only story I enjoy?]
Hwa laughed.
This absolute god of the end, who seemed to have no emotions at all, laughed for the first time. Yuma was startled and waited for the next words.
[Even though I don’t need apostles, it’s not that I’m ignorant of beings that have ‘come into me’.
I don’t even feel a sense of unity. They are the basis of my existence.] [What do you mean?] [In that sense, Rizol is the one who contributed the most to my flow. Except for me, there would be no existence more empty than that.]
[What?]
[He has nothing that can be called ‘himself’. It’s because everything that makes up him is fake, untrue… and
just a dream.] [What kind of dream is that?]
I felt my heart beat faster.
Hwa
was not a being who used human words such as ‘lying’ or ‘playing with words’.
‘Resol is the one who contributed the most to the flow of Hwa?’
Of course, even if it was true, it wasn’t the kind of story that could be immediately understood. Yuma suppressed her confusion and stared at Hwa.
[Yes, this is a story about a dream in which the owner was lost. From the beginning to the end of that dream, everything was made up of empty illusions, and thanks to that, I am finally flowing.] [What the hell are you talking about?] [A name I completely erased in the distant past has been walking the world openly as a dream. Even so, no one recognized him.]
Uh.
This… sounds like a story about Haider.
At last, Yuma almost dropped the Awolla he was holding. As far as Yuma knew, there
was only one person whose name Hwa had ‘cleared’.
A human who stole the God Tree based on the magic bestowed by Sheltion a long time ago. So, a human who wanders the underworld with a curse that erases his name.
Haider, the master of the abyss.
[The dream that escaped its owner mistook itself for being real, and for a long time believed that it was a being closer to light than void… Now that it has realized the truth, it is being deceived that another world exists.
] Waga kept talking behind his back.
[What could be more empty than this? It’s a story that I have no choice but to enjoy.]
[What are you saying now. Do you mean that Risol is a human derived from Haider…?]
[Not a human. It’s just a dream that I wanted to believe that I was human, even forcibly turning back the time of eons. The man whose name was erased obtained the tree of the gods, but using that power was also the role of a dream after all.] It
was difficult to hide his embarrassment.
If what Hwa says is true.
no, it couldn’t have been true.
He didn’t need lies, and as soon as Yuma met Hwa, he quickly understood him. As if we had known each other from the beginning.
‘Come to think of it, Haider and Resol used the same magic. I thought there would be some connection between the two… but I never imagined that Resol was derived from Haider.’
A dream in which you lost your owner and escaped outside.
Hwa was expressing Risol like that. And the part where the ‘erased name’ has so far been openly pursuing the world as a dream.
It meant that Haider’s real name was Resol.
‘In other words, did the unconsciousness of Haider, who lost his name, create the existence of Resol? oh my head What the hell is this crazy?’
Haider coveted the tree of God, and while bound by the curse of Hwa, through a dream, created a being that uses his own name similar to himself, similar to a human being.
Thinking so, I began to understand Hwa’s words calmly. It was the same for Rizol to use such great magic.
‘The creation of Lisol and all the great magic must have been possible thanks to the God Tree Haider obtained. The Dragon Lord said that Haider took over half of the God Tree.’
tree of the gods.
– Infinite magic power can be obtained even with a piece of weakened root. What can I do if I get close to half of it?
-It looks like it could be a god or something comparable to it.
-You can become a being that surpasses God. Everyone calls that tree the ‘God’s Tree’, but in fact, the tree was there even before the gods existed. Even the gods worshiped the tree.
I remembered a conversation I had with Mahatrisha about the God Tree.
[This was a story about how, from the beginning of time until now, humans who had taken the tree of God became close to me.]
The immeasurably long history of emptiness will no longer be able to be stopped.
As Hwa continued to speak in a low voice, Yuma struck an amulla at the body of Soluto, in which he manifested.
[It looks like a dog.]
As Soluto’s body disintegrated into black particles and was absorbed into Amula, the voice of Hwa was no longer heard.
But Yuma knew.
As he said, in the end, this was only a temporary suspension of the end.
