Genius Corpse-Collecting Warrior - Chapter 195
195
Scarlet Spirit (4)
Under a dark sky with dark clouds blocking the sun.
A bright yellow flash flies, leaving behind a long trail, and a wave of hellfire surges against it.
The contact between the flames and the lightning lasted only a moment.
And light returned to the world.
Wow━━━━
The huge photosphere is blooming.
A sight as if the hidden sun was breaking through the clouds.
If you were a modern-day Earthling, it wouldn’t have been strange to think that a nuclear bomb had exploded above your head.
Soon after, heat from the mining area began to pour out in all directions, as if a small tactical nuclear weapon had exploded.
Kuung────
A storm of blazing heat pushed out all the air in the nearby area.
The vacuum thus created swallows everything again, creating a second explosion.
Transmission and transmission…!!!
Shock waves beyond the range of normal sounds echoed several times, and at the same time, a level of light that would instantly blind an ordinary person erased the shadows of the entire area.
I’m going to go to the middle of the day!
Hundreds of red and blue thunderbolts were mixed in the dehydrated air.
A feast of unique colors sporadically bursting out under the shining light.
It was right in the middle of it that the two figures collided.
[Keuheehee!]
Kuddeudeudeuk──!!
For a brief moment, the sword and fist intersect. A strange roaring sound that breaks the air and explodes.
In the midst of the chaos, where two colored lightnings were biting each other like beasts, Daelon’s holy sword was slicing long through the evil spirit’s chest.
[Kyaaagh!]
The solid breastplate is torn helplessly. The flesh underneath cried out and vomited blood.
Of course, even in the incarnate body, cuts that had been cut began to regenerate in an instant.
Until a strange sound from the restored Holy Sword prevented complete regeneration.
Tsuzuzuzu…!
White sparks leap out, forcefully opening the scar that had been closing.
The evil spirit’s regenerative power forced a scab and solidified it, but the white energy ended up leaving a small wound.
[Hehe damn it! Holy!]
The evil spirit with blood flowing from his chest roared. Unlike his angry voice, his mouth was laughing.
“You crazy bastard.”
[Hehe, that’s a compliment, right? Right?]
Looking through the monitor, I don’t think he was this crazy. Well, there was no way that kind of madness could be conveyed with simple polygons and lines of dialogue.
The body of the grinning evil spirit was already covered in blood.
More than half of the thorny armor had fallen off, and there were many healed wounds here and there.
[Even if it was an incarnation, I couldn’t figure out how it could handle so many sacrifices… It seems like it placed more restrictions on itself than I expected in order to land on this land.] As Jeok Chang said, the
body of an evil spirit is not even in the category of an incarnation. It had been deteriorated for a while.
If you think about it, it was worth it. The starting point of this invasion in the first place was a large-scale ritual that summoned dozens of demons and tens of thousands of monsters.
It is said that both the souls and bodies of tens of thousands of northerners were sacrificed, but it was still quite a close call.
In the meantime, Sun went one step further and came directly, so he must have had to descend with his own strength greatly reduced.
[Be a little more strong. [There is a good chance of victory.]
That was the reason why Tsarina was able to injure him by wasting time.
Although he was ultimately defeated by an insane attack that did not even take care of his own body, it was clear that Shun suffered a significant blow in the process.
We cannot let that sacrifice be in vain. That’s why I move forward, dragging my tired body.
It’s crazy!!
Make a hand sign and extend your hand. From his fingertips, a green thunderbolt flashed and shot towards the evil spirit.
「Cheonrok(穿綠)」
A flash of true green that penetrated the guy’s armor the first time.
It digs into the chest where the armor is torn and comes out through the back of the armor.
[Kihyaaak…!]
Dark red blood spewed out from the mouth of the staggering evil spirit, and a feast of hellfire poured from the two hastily waved hands.
Kurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!
The rushing waves of fear turned his skin red, but Dallen did not avoid it.
It just keeps forming beasts and seals and gathering lightning again.
It’s so scary…!!
Green lightning shoots out repeatedly, piercing the tsunami of hellfire.
The blue streak of electricity stretched out, persistently holding the blood-red lightning aiming for the rear.
While he was wearing four layers of magic armor to withstand the attack, the sea of lightning and dark clouds were fighting endlessly above his head.
A struggle where every moment is at the crossroads of life and death.
In that thrilling tug-of-war, Dallon felt his skill in handling brain damage rapidly increased.
‘can win.’
No, I had to win.
The current fight was a one-time opportunity to break Sun’s momentum.
Its army has already been annihilated, and all that remains is its ruined incarnation.
If this battle was won, the weakened Sun forces would not be able to target this continent for decades.
‘The reason the Tsarina even sacrificed her own life was probably to give her people a reprieve for those decades…!’
Grumbling…!!
The hellfire that penetrates the magic armor eats away at the flesh. Blood-red lightning came through the blind spot and passed through my body.
I grit my teeth and hold on. White steam was pouring out from all over the body and even the regenerative power of the dragon’s blood was approaching its limit, but there was no time to worry about it.
This is, in fact, an offensive determined to sacrifice flesh and break bones, ignoring defense.
It is a desperate struggle to become familiar with how to deal with the Brain Sea by firing at least one more bolt of electricity while responding to the enemy’s attacks.
In the sharp gap that did not allow even the slightest leeway, Dallon swung his ax towards the roaring mouth of the evil spirit.
[Heeheehee! Such a desperate fight! I love it…kup!]
I cut off his smiling lips with an axe, hit the top of his head with the handle of the holy sword, and let out a thunderbolt.
In the meantime, the evil spirit’s claws rip off both of his ribs, but he continues the attack, forcing himself to swallow the bitterness that is rising in his throat.
[Kkeekhehehel!]
Even though his jawbone was split and his lips were cut off, he didn’t stop laughing. The sight of a madman that would send chills down even Dallon’s spine.
It is not strange to say that he is a god who is crazy about fighting. Dallen drew the holy sword from bottom to top.
Kwasik—!
A hand wrapped in hellfire blocked the holy sword. Dallen ignored it and forced himself to complete the sword path.
A spear of yellow lightning formed in the hand to finish off the one that was launched high into the sky.
「Thunder Spear」
Compared to the one used by Daeltarion himself, it is less than half the power, but it is enough firepower to finish off the fallen incarnation of the evil god.
That moment.
“…!”
[Avoid!]
The warning from his instinctive sixth sense passed by, and Dallen even threw away the spear he had created and moved away.
Hissing-
Immediately afterwards, an invisible hand grabbed the space where I had been standing just a moment ago.
Kuddeuk!
A crushing space. The gray shadow that remained as a scar distorts and disappears.
The evil spirit was reaching out towards that place. The guy muttered.
[Such a shame. But it’s still fun…uh…hehe.]
“…….”
Lips muttering while bleeding. Inside, hellfire rumbles along with acrid smoke.
It didn’t spew fire from its breath like a dragon. Rather, he was swallowed up by his own hellfire.
[That crazy…! Are you offering your incarnate body as a sacrifice? It would cause irreversible damage to one’s own reputation?]
Arbor, who saw the scene, could not hide his astonishment.
Since they are demons with the same pattern, they must have instinctively sensed what the situation in front of them was.
“…….”
Dallon also knew the meaning of that phenomenon.
That was a ritual.
An impure ritual that opens the gates of hell and summons the beings beyond by burning one’s own body.
If he hadn’t escaped the spot just now, Dallen’s body would have been caught up in the ritual and become a sacrifice.
‘But that’s not the real problem.’
This ritual is performed by an evil spirit using his own incarnation as a sacrifice.
It was not difficult to guess what the eccentricity that went so far as to lower the status of the true body meant.
[It’s been thousands of years… It’s too disappointing a fight to end like this.]
Lips smiling. A tongue cut in half licks crushed lips.
The dark clouds that covered the sky began to gather towards the evil spirit.
The space in the area bends strangely around one point, tearing the space and revealing cracks.
[Hell’s Gate… Looking at the scale of the omen, it looks like they are planning to summon their true form.]
He was beyond embarrassed and muttered as if he couldn’t understand.
[No matter how fanatical he is in fighting, how can he do something that lowers his own status?]
Jeokchang’s reaction was not something that could be understood. Dallen was also very embarrassed when he first saw Sun’s antics.
Of course, that’s the story beyond the monitor.
This was before the proper strategy was perfected.
Rather, this moment was the opportunity Dallon was waiting for in this fight.
“Good timing.”
Phew.
I sigh as I look up at the sky filled with pitch black clouds.
Raise your hands in the direction your breath flows.
Beyond the boundary of the dark clouds that surround and wield the evil spirit, the fingertips point towards the sea of lightning flashing above.
Rumbling….
The sea, swirling in five colors, responds to its owner’s call.
「Red Spirit」
━━━━━┳┻┳┻┳┻
Hundreds of red thunderbolts fell from the sky and tore through the dark clouds of the evil spirit.
A feast of red thunderbolts covering an area several kilometers in radius.
The net of thunderbolts spread out in the shape of a flattened ball envelops Dallon and the evil spirit like a huge prison, cutting them off from external space.
The evil spirit, whose torn lips were wide open, hardened his expression when he saw the scattered dark clouds.
The consciousness that was entering its final stage had stopped working.
***
[Why, why is it conscious…?]
The incarnated body that was sacrificed speaks normally. The gates of hell, where the true body was supposed to descend, also did not open.
The bewildered face of the evil spirit. Dallen said, calming his heavy breathing.
“Give up. “To summon you here, we’ll need a sacrifice that goes beyond your tattered body.”
Scarlet spirit.
A secret technique created by a 6th rank magician using extreme lightning techniques.
This space, sparkling with red light, was like another world isolated from the outside.
“It seems like Daltharion has a terrible grudge against you.”
[Daltharion? Who is that?]
“The one who killed you.”
Dallen chuckled.
The first thing I focused on as I absorbed the lightning magician’s power was how he killed Sun.
The clue was already in hand. Although I couldn’t see the details of what was happening the moment I opened the area beyond the monitor.
“Still, I could tell that the ending was a red thunderbolt.”
And after digging through decades of enlightenment, the lightning magician’s red thunderbolt had two main functions.
One is to literally pour down a barrage of red lightning and destroy demons or evil spirits without even giving them a chance to regenerate.
And the other is the art of spreading the lightning widely to isolate space and separate the world itself.
Since Daeltarion eventually invaded Hell himself and killed X’un, there was a high probability that the lightning he used during his lifetime was electronic.
However, Dallon could feel it when he saw that the latter was prepared.
“I don’t know how, but I know that Daeltarion knew you as well as I did.”
[Wha…what on earth are you talking about!]
“You descend as an incarnation and fight, but if there is someone you like, you will not hesitate to sacrifice your incarnation to summon the true form. “Without caring how much their own status is lowered.”
The ritual of opening the gates of hell and summoning beings beyond is basically the act of opening a passage connecting the two worlds.
If you suddenly change the position of a point while drawing a line between two points, the picture cannot be completed.
Red Lightning The second function of the Red Spirit was to destroy it.
If Sun descends to this land once again, we can prevent him from summoning the real body and deal a blow to him instead.
[How…?]
“How could I not know that? “How many characters have been deleted from you?”
Dallen chuckled and raised the holy sword.
“And how the wizard knew…well, I don’t know. “I’m curious because I haven’t heard of it either. Could you please ask for me first?”
