Genius Corpse-Collecting Warrior - Chapter 191
191
King of the Palace of Destruction (2)
[Hehe.]
Laughter tinged with madness.
When Dallen saw that smile, he felt extremely helpless for the first time since he fell to this earth.
‘You can’t win.’
Dozens of possibilities gathered from all over the continent. Even if you add it all up, you couldn’t win.
Even though it is ranked 5th, it is not even possible to see a clear shape. Most of the soldiers on the castle walls probably weren’t even allowed to witness that distortion.
[huh? what’s the matter. Why are you hesitating? I told you to bring out that fun sparkle from earlier. Or even lightning?]
An excited voice continues. Flames and sparks bounced over the distorted shape, destroying the space.
When Dallen didn’t react, his eyes slowly narrowed. said the voice.
[Chi…I can’t help it.]
Two eyes rolling back and forth looked over Dallen’s shoulder. This was where Lucia and Felber were.
[If you can’t do it, I’ll make you do it. Humans become stronger when something precious to them is destroyed. So…]
[That’s it.]
A sharp attack that pierces the battlefield.
It was Tsarina’s voice.
Crackgang—
The sound of something breaking is heard high in the sky.
Immediately after, a snow storm swept through the area without any warning.
As the feeling of space being torn apart by the extreme cold passed, a unit of as many as a hundred magicians suddenly appeared.
Those who stood between Daelen and the evil spirit and raised their magical power to the maximum were the elites of the royal wizards, led by Tsarina.
“You have shown yourself on your own, King of the Palace of Destruction.”
Tsarina, the leader of the wizards, said. In her hand, which was stretched out towards Sun, was a pure white scepter.
A scepter that looks as if it was carved from snow and ice. The magical power writhing there was comparable to the power of the Frost Throne.
The magicians lined up behind her were each and every one of them a level of skill that could not be taken lightly.
Everyone is level 4 or higher. These are high-level wizards who can research unique spells.
Among them, the three wizards whose presence is clearly felt are the archmages who have surpassed the barrier of the 5th rank and are the leaders of the magic corps.
[Hmm…….]
About a hundred people from the 4th rank, three from the 5th rank, and magicians from the 6th rank.
It is a tremendous amount of power that can even subdue the true body of the great evil, depending on how you put your mind to it.
But Sun seemed to have no interest in such facts.
The distortion was twisted here and there, as if he was stroking his chin or scratching his head.
[It’s no fun like this. I didn’t come to fight with you guys.]
He just let out a sharp voice.
[So die.]
Wiggle.
Part of the face with a distorted shape. On top of that, another red color stretched out.
It didn’t take long to realize that it was a torn mouth.
The guy lifted his leg. And then he took a step forward.
Just that.
Guuuuung━━━━
The world was torn apart.
The indescribable horror was seen with the eyes rather than heard with the ears.
The crushed space creates a fan shape following the footsteps on the ruins of the fallen sky fortress.
“Statia…Kahak!”
“Aaaah!”
Nearly half of the 4th rank wizards who were quickly creating spells on the front line flew away with blood spraying out.
There were some who was able to raise the shield spell in a hurry, but many others had their bodies torn to pieces without any time to do so.
[Please step back.]
Charina was the one blocking the fan-shaped space.
The runes densely engraved on both arms under the pure white robes glowed for a moment.
[Eiffel.]
[Casta.]
[Statia.]
The moment I stretched out my arms while chanting with overlapping shouts, the entire space in front of the scepter began to freeze.
Blah blah blah!!
“I told you Dallon. “I will bet my fate on it.”
It crushes, freezes, and explodes. The intersection of transcendental forces that overwrite the world itself with will.
In front of the sight of magical power and space scattering into sharp fragments, Charina turned to Dallen and said.
“I will take my time. “Regain your strength or try something else.”
“…….”
“The outcome of the Tsardom is in your hands.”
After speaking, her new brother blurted out without answering.
A state where one can go beyond forcibly opening a gap in space and completely control the space and the world with one’s own power alone.
Tsugagagagak━━
At the same time, Sun’s divine form also disappeared, and the two energies, red and blue, formed a spiral and rose from the ground to the sky.
The cold and chill collide and explode. Fire and lightning flew in all directions and swirled in the frosty wind.
Dozens of royal wizards resonated with the spell, narrowly quelling the aftermath, and three 5th rank magicians began to support the tsarina, looking for opportunities at any given time.
Gurgling…!!
The sky is falling apart with thunder. Before I knew it, the spiral soaring into the sky was clashing with dark clouds and the frozen sky.
[What are you planning?]
Jeokchang asked. Dallen slowly lowered his head as he looked up at the sky.
Although I only defeated Sun once, I had studied his strategy more thoroughly than anyone else.
‘There are two main powers that are at the core of Xun.’
Hellfire gushing from his endless palace of destruction. And red lightning, representing unpredictable violence.
There is no other reason why the two Archdemons, who are closest to him among the archdukes under his command, have tremendous resistance to lightning and fire, respectively.
Because without that level of resistance, it would be impossible to even stand next to Sun.
The problem was that, due to the nature of Evil God Shun, a duelist who was completely crazy about fighting, the most standard strategy was to attack him from the front with the same attributes as him.
‘Daeha Juyeom or Cheongnoe might be suitable… but you can’t beat him with just that. ‘If it’s Red Spear’s black flame, it should be able to ward off at least one hellfire.’
However, even then, at most, it can only deal with one of Xun’s powers.
The ending of both body and soul being crushed by red lightning was inevitable.
[Run away. If the Tsarina is taking her time, she can escape. I will help you with my power, so first step back and wait for the next opportunity.]
Jeokchang spoke in a rare trembling voice. A suggestion filled with worry and fear.
I would be lying if I said that the offer was not sweet in the face of overwhelming violence that I had never felt before.
But Dallen slowly shook his head, still keeping his gaze fixed on one place.
“You can’t do that.”
[Why? He’s not normal right now. In order to set foot on this land, I have put myself in a state where I have suffered endlessly. Even if you can burn half the continent, you won’t be able to get beyond the Labyrinth City…]
“Red Spear. “If you survive like that, what’s left?”
[…….]
No answer came back. Dallen chuckled.
“Everyone is afraid of dying. “It’s so easy to run away from there.”
Sreung.
He takes out a sword and a hatchet from subspace and holds them in both hands.
I slowly moved my feet and headed towards the corpse of the great devil that had been cut in half.
“However, the value of being alive is not just that my lungs breathe and my heart beats.”
Anyone who has lost it knows.
The greasiness of pizza and chicken spreads in your mouth. The freshness of carbonation that touched my throat.
Useless conversations while eating unhealthy food under an air conditioner. The heat of the hot floor and the intoxication of alcohol.
It was those times that I remember.
Footprints that cannot be made alone. Real precious things hidden under the guise of everyday life.
“If you step back once, you will step back again. “The first time is difficult, but the second time is easy.”
[…….]
“Even if you retreat and retreat like that and survive in the end… what’s the point of surviving alone in a world that has become hell?”
One of the episodes that achieved transcendence.
Dallen, who was thirsty for clearing after hundreds of failures, used all means and methods to survive even after the world was destroyed.
A world where everything is burning, collapsing, and rotting. A living hell where lions howl and the screams of vengeful spirits constantly echo.
I survived to see the ending, but the ending credits didn’t show up. Out of futility, I erased my character and ended the game. And I stopped playing games, which I used to do every day, for a month.
That was the level of emptiness I experienced beyond the monitor, but what would it be like if I actually experienced it?
Since Dallen had already lost his daily life once, I dared to think that he would know that feeling.
“I already lost it once. “You can’t lose twice.”
That’s why I decide not to lose it again.
The stark difference between before and after falling into this world was not only the strong body that was unharmed by spears and swords.
The fact is that simply living and breathing cannot fulfill life.
Knowing that fact allowed Dallen to reach out instead of backing away.
“So please help me.”
[…You mean dealing with Sun?]
“No.”
Body recovery. Dallen recited softly to himself.
Then, the gray corpse slowly scattered, turning into a halo of light and being sucked into the fingertips like flowing water.
[The body of the archmage who was called to the Sky Fortress has been recovered. Inherit the ability.]
[Inheritance Reward:]
Fullness that fills your inner self in an instant. However, the feeling is not complete.
“From now on, I have to fight the guy who killed Sun.”
After seeing the notification window for the last time, Dallon closed his eyes.
The moment he opened his eyes again, he was standing on a snowy mountain.
***
Hwii…….
Strong winds and snowstorm.
Perennial snow-covered mountain peaks beyond sheer cliffs.
It was a scene that could have overwhelmed the wonders of Mother Nature, but it was a scene that felt extremely peaceful to Dallen, who had just been rolling around on the battlefield of the transcendentals.
The old cabin on the snowy mountain was still the same. Even the backyard and various hunter tools.
There is only one difference from the last time I woke up here.
“…is it time?”
The truth was that the person standing in the backyard of the cabin was not a large man, but a wizard wearing robes.
“It’s been a long time since I’ve been here. A cozy place. “The starting point of my memories.”
Just like the gray warrior, the man in the robe also took apart the components of the backyard one by one.
At the same time, the habit of scratching the chin was also the same. Of course, that was the only thing similar.
Unlike the gray fighter, who was well over 2 meters tall, the man wearing a robe was at most as tall as Dallan’s shoulder.
A thin-lined face and blue eyes were images commonly associated with wizards. The man who had been closely examining the cabin turned his head.
“okay. “The story goes that you are the one prophesied by the well in Yeokcheon.”
A slightly torn voice. Dallen silently touched his waist.
The ax was well placed. This time, the holy sword was also stuck next to it.
“Level 5. However, the image is too vast to simply conclude with a hierarchy. “It looks like I’ve already met someone who broke through the wall.”
“…….”
“Then you know the conditions. take me down “Show before me a power greater than the despair that brought me to my knees, and with that take everything from me.”
The man spoke with his arms wide open, like a character in a play. The hem of his robe fluttered in the wind coming down the snowy mountain valley. Her long hair was also disheveled.
While watching the Japanese speech, Dallon gently smoothed the handle of his axe. My physical condition wasn’t bad.
In reality, the real body has reached its limit, but this is a realm beyond imagination.
The body here is not the same as reality. While Dallen was adjusting to his fully recovered condition, someone came to his side.
“Is this what you meant by asking for help?”
Let’s go.
The owner of the light footsteps was similar in height and size to the wizard in front of me. Short, dark red hair stopped at the edge of my vision.
“6th rank. That’s a capability that can easily overwhelm a thunder dragon. “I don’t understand how humans can gain this kind of power.”
“I did develop a character well. “It was quite a stagnant water.”
“…I don’t know what you’re talking about, but I’ll be honest anyway. “I think it would be better to go back and deal with Sun together with Tsarina.”
Dallen chuckled. These noblemen have become like real dragons and change their words every time they get scared.
Of course, it wasn’t wrong. It was true that as long as Dallen’s condition was perfect, helping Charina had a higher chance of winning.
However, with his stamina depleted and his body on the verge of collapsing after fighting the two great devils, this was the only possibility.
Jeokchang also knew that, so he only said it as a joke,
“Is the noise over?”
The wizard who was quietly watching the conversation spoke. The guy’s mood changed as he opened his arms as if giving a speech.
“I am not the type of person to look at liver. So there are two options.”
Rumbling….
A thunderous sound echoing in the sky. Dallen instinctively raised his head.
“…Holy shit.”
His eyebrows twitched. The snowy mountain sky was slowly cracking.
The dark clouds that have never left their place are pushed away as if crushed, and a huge sea of lightning appears little by little beyond them.
「Full opening of the domain: The sea of thunder that swallowed hell」
The magician’s eyes, with his arms spread out, were suddenly colored in five colors. He opened his mouth.
“Prove it or die.”
“Watch out Dallan…!”
Before Jeok Chang’s words even reached my ears.
━━━┻┳┻┳┻┳┻┳┻┳┻
The world was torn into hundreds of pieces by the red lightning that tore through the sky.
