Genius Corpse-Collecting Warrior - Chapter 218

God of Water (3)

Kugugugugugu….

Rises.

It’s a completely different feeling than simply jumping into the air.

The vast land itself rejects the underwater environment and surges toward the surface, pushing out an enormous amount of seawater.

“Ugh…!”

Dallen, who was standing on the edge of the collision, was staggered by the dizziness that struck him for a moment.

Even with a sense of balance far beyond that of humans, he could not be free from the shock of worlds colliding with each other.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!

Acceleration continues to increase.

Break the pressure of the deep sea and escape.

Dallen finally came to his senses and looked down at the scene beneath his feet.

What firmly supported his feet was the vast area of permafrost.

[It’s similar to the scenery in the Frost Hall.]

Jeokchang said beyond the image.

[It is a scenery that does not exist in your area. When did you gain this power?]

“The Tsarina gave it to me.”

[Are you going to make it? How…no, it must be the power of the well. Recently, the evil energy that had polluted the tree seemed to have faded, but I

never thought that might be the reason…] Without repeating the question, the ancient dragon started muttering something to himself.

Dallen left her lost in thought and looked around at the land rising toward sea level.

A vast permafrost subject to blizzards.

This was the snowy landscape I witnessed in front of the well in Yeokcheon after the war in the North ended.

The frozen sky that the Tsarina had formed beyond her image, and the snowy fields and castles that spread beneath that sky.

The will that the ruler of the North and the monarch who protects his people devoted his life to honing.

Even though he met a cruel end after a desperate battle with Sun, his will did not break in the slightest.

Even after death, instead of letting go of everything and resting, he came to Dallen and passed on his strength and will.

‘I’ve received bribes before, but this is my first time giving one.’

The sound of her laughter echoes faintly in my head and then disappears.

Where on earth did the noble spirit that persisted even after the body was broken come from?

While I was thinking about the comrades I could not protect, the light shining from above my head grew stronger by the minute.

From a ray of light penetrating the darkness of the deep sea to a dull shade illuminating the shallow seabed of the continental shelf.

And soon…

Puhwaaaaaak!

The moment I thought I was getting close to sea level, my body was already rising above the water.

***

Sigh! Shoot….

The sea is replaced by the ground, and waves several meters high rise roughly.

Dallen, who had been watching the sea water oscillate like water in a thin dish and then quickly be absorbed beneath the frozen ground, quietly raised his head.

[What is this….]

The bewildered voice of a devil in subspace. Even Dallon could not help but be surprised by the sight before his eyes.

The night sky spreads above your head. What existed beyond it was not the moon or the stars.

Vast, lapping waves covered the cloudless sky.

If you turn the vast ocean upside down and place it on top of the sky, what would it look like?

The sea, which covered the sky like a huge dome, was a bizarre sight that gave goosebumps just by looking up at it.

[Humans are an ungrateful race. Even though they received everything the rivers and seas gave them for free, they are worthless servants who always look up to the sky to find God.]

Snap.

The sound of footsteps as if stepping on shallow water.

[But I am a merciful goddess. The kindness of the river forgives rather than reprimands, and the vastness of the sea embraces rather than corrects.]

The priestess was walking through the air. Before I knew it, I was wearing a blue silk robe instead of a pure white priest’s uniform.

The staff in his hand scatters magical energy like misty rain, and with every step he takes barefoot, ripples spread out from under his feet.

She said, stopping within the distance of a barrage of arrows.

[If it is the ungrateful nature of humans to look up to the sky and find God, wouldn’t it be okay if I myself became their heaven?]

It is not a question that requires an answer. Dallen also had no intention of joining in with her nonsense.

I simply checked my armor, which had become a mess due to the deep sea currents, and swung the water off my holy sword.

Did he not like that calm reaction? The priestess, whose eyes were distorted, raised her finger and pointed at the holy sword.

[The power of your sword. That must be the power of the Frost Throne passed down through the lineage of the Northern Tsar.]

“…….”

[I know that you participated in the war. Did he pretend to cooperate with the tsarina, but at the last moment he stabbed him in the back and robbed him of his power?]

The corner of his mouth turns up in a mean manner. It was a low-level provocation, but even the distorted expression was beautifully displayed.

This probably means that the brilliance of the divine power imbued with her is twisting cognition itself.

Dallen looked at the scene sullenly and then raised his left hand.

Then, the ax that he had thrown away a while ago naturally appeared in his grasp and was caught.

[You have the qualifications to be brave. However, you cannot survive me in a mortal body…!]

“That’s a lot of words.”

Whoosh –

the ax splits the air.

Perfect!

It splits as soon as you snap your fingers.

A carpet bombing that breaks into hundreds and dozens of pieces, exceeding even the speed of sound and crushing them.

[What can a god do with a piece of iron like this…Ugh?]

The priestess who snorted in front of him lightly made a wave, but the ax’s movement was a little faster.

「Hyemyeong: Bigeom(飛劍)」

「Iron Tide Current(鐵潮激流)」

The falling trajectory, like a simple carpet bombing, is completely twisted.

The ax’s trajectory goes beyond ignoring speed and inertia so far and cuts through the gap in space once again.

Shrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Soon, more than a hundred blades began to fly in a huge circle with the priestess at the center, crossing the space dozens of times as if blinking.

A gray shadow that flickers every time the space opens and closes. A relic ax flashes within its shadow.

The movement of the relic ax surrounding the priestess was like a gray storm imbued with cool metallic light.

[Such a blade!]

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr…!

As the priestess screams out all her might, dozens of streams of water pour out of the air, pushing away the gray storm.

No matter how many times an ax crossed space, aiming for an opening, it was impossible to defy the multiple layers of water currents that collided with each other.

An offensive that momentarily falters.

However, the power of frost soon begins to settle on the axe, and instead of avoiding the water blocking its path, it begins to freeze it.

Let’s go!

A simple storm of blades gradually becomes a storm of sharp ice and cold.

In the middle of it all, the priestess’s collar is faintly being cut.

The priestess’s face was distorted, but it was not like she was pushing things one-sidedly.

This is because while the ax, a relic that twisted the mystery of the Big Sword to the fullest extent, attacked the priestess, the sacred area itself, created with the power of Sisella, began to attack Dallen.

Coo coo coo coo coo…!

The entire frozen ground shakes.

The solid permafrost rippling like waves and ripples occurring here and there as if a stone had been thrown onto a calm lake.

Dallen gave up trying to keep his balance and kicked the ground. His new model soared into the sky in an instant.

As I stepped through the air and looked down, the bizarrely distorted terrain came into view.

Grrr! Grrrr…!

A strange noise of boiling bubbles.

The ground swelled endlessly due to the rolling.

Whoa whoa!

Soon, a huge stream of underground water burst through the swollen ground, like an old pus bursting and spilling out its contents.

Kugwagwagwagwa…!

A rushing waterspout. The sharply rotating tip had the power to grind not only people but also rocks.

Dallen swung the holy sword at the water column rising through the ground. The cold air scattered from the tip of the

sword

instantly froze the waterspout.

Kwazizig…!

Immediately after, without a moment’s time, dozens of water columns break through the ice column and open their mouths like giant snakes, trying to devour the intruder.

‘Arbor.’

As soon as I say the name in my mind, hundreds of chains come out of subspace.

Churrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

A pile of chains that opens up the air, crosses the right place, entwines the water column, and blocks its path.

Since returning to its original owner, Arbor, the chains containing frost have grown exponentially stronger.

In recent years, it has easily surpassed the power of Calchas, who has skillfully manipulated this chain for over hundreds of years.

Kkkwang───!

At that time, a beam-like stream of water crossed the sky and hit Dallen’s new model.

Even though he lifted the holy sword and threw it away, he was only able to stop after being pushed back more than a dozen meters.

[How long are you going to waste time?]

When I turned my head, I saw a priestess walking towards me holding her axe.

While jumping in the sky and dodging the water column, he destroyed all of Dallen’s attacks by twisting the power of his big sword.

She didn’t look very good either.

The ax blade tore the clothes and skin in various places, and the cold that settled on each wound caused the skin to turn purple and begin to die.

However, the moment the stream of water rising from the ground enveloped her body, the various wounds disappeared as if washed away.

She made a new broken staff by twisting a thin stream of water and said as she slowly flew up.

[In front of that wizard, he said he would finish it quickly, but in reality, he was like a weasel running away from a hunter’s trap.]

“…….”

[If you don’t want to die, show your true territory. You know very well that you can’t stop me forever with just the power of the Frost Throne, right?]

The priestess, aiming her wand, twisted her mouth.

She wasn’t wrong.

It is obvious that the Tsarina’s territory opened up through the Holy Sword is the most effective in order to counter Sisellah’s power.

However, dealing with a huge new area with only one area makes no sense from the very beginning.

Kurrrrrr…….

The vast frozen land that rose up through the sea was already collapsing from the outside.

It has been a long time since the horizon was replaced by rough waves crashing through broken dirt and ice from all directions.

From the beginning, this was not a one-off attack by twisting the mystery, but a game that could only be concluded by drawing in several areas and attacking the new area itself.

But of course Dallen had no intention of doing so. He answered, slowly relaxing his stiff shoulders.

“If it were you, why would you bother to lose your power to an event mob that will take care of itself?”

[Even…what do you mean?]

“It’s about time.”

The priestess frowned and was about to say something, but the next moment she closed her mouth.

The gaze hurriedly turns towards the distant horizon.

[long time no see. Goddess of the rivers and the sea.]

The voice that echoed through the sky from afar was more delicate than that of the priestess.

Dallen followed the priestess’ gaze toward the horizon.

Then, a thought penetrated his mind from beyond his vision.

「Domain completely open: Banquet hall of stars singing time」

Tsuzuzuzu……

The sea begins to fall apart.

The horizon splits to reveal solid ground, the sea above breaks like glass, and the dark night sky covers the sky.

The pitch-black celestial sphere was embroidered with hundreds of thousands of stars.

As the strangely colored nebula flows here and there, dotted flashes of light cast a mysterious light and look down upon the world.

Rough waves and waterspouts resisted, but even such waterways were swallowed up in the pitch-black darkness of the night sky.

[Yes, why are you here…! You couldn’t even take a step outside the Diamond Palace anymore!]

[If you thought that, it would be a pity.]

The girl appeared without any warning.

It did not run or fly from far away or jump out through space.

When I suddenly came to my senses, I wondered if it would be accurate to say that he was by my side.

It just seemed like it was natural for him to be standing here at this moment.

[Even considering all the years I’ve lived, I’ve been secluded for a very long time… but isn’t it too much to treat her like someone who has passed her time?] The

white-haired girl laughed.

[You are very self-indulgent on the topic of fake gods.]

A pure white dotted pupil sparkled in the center of the cosmic-colored eyes.
