Genius Corpse-Collecting Warrior - Chapter 224
224
Choice of Possibilities (5)
Doo doo doo doo!
The land, which has already been turned over several times, is turned over once again.
Carpet bombing at the surface level rather than points or lines.
Like a school of salmon swimming against a rapid current, hundreds of spear knives strike the ground in a strong parabola.
Tooung – Saaaaah!
The shield restricts movement, and the long sword aims for vital points.
Whoosh! Kagak…!
A sharp dagger that quickly scrapes the joints at the same time as the javelin pierces the square.
Normally, it would be impossible to pierce the rune armor of the Twilight Knights with an ordinary spear knife.
However, the skill passed down from the ancient Sand Wind Dynasty is worthy of being called a mystical skill.
The hundreds of weapons did not simply move according to Dallen’s will, but contained a faint trace of his magic power in the form of primitive sword energy.
Kwasik!
The runes on the armor are losing their light one by one. The large jewel embedded in the center of the breastplate blinked rapidly as if it was losing energy.
The self-repair function granted by rune magic began to partially repair the armor, but even that was not enough to keep up with the speed at which it was being destroyed.
Vukvan’s face turned pale as his armor was becoming tattered in real time. he shouted.
“Powell! Give your servant the strength to overcome this adversity!”
Paaaaaa!
Waves of light pour down like waves from the eastern horizon.
The sky and earth are dyed scarlet, as if distorted by the strong rays of dawn.
Vukvan, dressed in half-tattered armor, was stained with divine power of a color similar to that of sunlight.
Just as Sisella descended on the bishop of the pantheon, Powell, the God of Light, is directly pouring his power into Vukvan.
“I offer up both my spirit and my body! Burn this battlefield!”
Soon, the desperate cry for God turns into a scream, and soon the flame rising from inside the throat swallows up even the scream.
Mouth, nose, ears and eyes.
A flame that comes out of every pore of the face and begins to burn the entire head.
Before long, Vukvan’s entire body was engulfed in flames. Jeokchang, who was watching the scene, spoke quietly.
[I sense more than one energy from author Dallan. It seems like the Pantheon guys are very determined.]
‘That’s right.’
The Twilight Knights are one of the Empire’s greatest forces.
A descent to the point of burning the knight commander, a transcendent person who had reached the 5th level, was not something that could be accomplished with just one godhead.
Powell, the god of light, and Nara, the god of fire. It was a sight where the power of two gods was pouring down on Bukban at the same time.
That probably means that the main gods of the pantheon have decided to end Dallen right here and there.
Considering their background, it wasn’t a strange thing.
[Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
…
Jeonseong conveys his voice instead of his melted vocal cords.
Dallen suddenly turned his head to the east. The dawn sun was just leaving the horizon.
and.
「Full opening of the area: The glory of twilight burning with death」
The rising sun turned around.
***
[…The only time a mortal gets close to the great being that illuminates the sky is at dusk.] Vukvan’s
golden age resonates profoundly.
The sun begins to set along with that voice.
Considering that it is early morning at this time, this should never happen.
However, the sun, with its bright red glow as if burning, went back the way it came and began to sink towards the edge of the horizon again.
[The screams of pain offered on this land are all sacrifices for the glory of all gods and the prosperity of the empire.]
The melted lips are trembling.
At that moment, an incomparably more intense sacred light radiated from the sun.
Tsuaaaa—
small flames begin to bloom everywhere the sunlight touches, and in an instant, they turn into red flames that begin to devour people and objects.
[Consolation to all who perished under the twilight.]
Grrrrrr…!
Within a radius of several hundred meters, burned bodies completely crumbled and painfully distorted souls began to seep out.
「Juhui Georyeong(朱輝巨靈)」
Just as a whirlwind sucks in the surrounding objects, the vengeful spirits that cover the area are instantly sucked into Bukban’s feet.
Soon, a whitish red giant figure rises up through the ground.
The giant, the size of a house, immediately swung its four pairs of arms and spread out heat in all directions.
Kugwagwagwagwa…!!
Following the gesture, the heat rushes in as thick waves, burning even stones and soil, turning the entire area into a literal sea of fire.
“Kwaaah! Hot! It’s hot…!”
“The equipment is on fire… no, my body is on fire too!”
“Sunshine! Avoid harm!”
What the red giant
created, a curtain of bright red flames that did not discriminate between enemies and enemies, was a literal hell.
A fire rising in the middle of the imperial army camp engulfs the siege equipment and soldiers, causing the entire army to collapse.
As if it was not satisfied after completely consuming an area of several hundred meters nearby, the fire spread further and engulfed the imperial army.
Uuuuu……
The moans of vengeful spirits continue to linger above the melted earth, and as the souls are absorbed, the red giant-shaped spirit body gradually grows in size.
The height, which seemed to be about 10 meters at first, has grown to the point where it is at eye level with the bronze walls of the labyrinth city.
「Ice crystal」
「Bloom」
Dallen made an ice flower bloom in his hand, blocking out the sunlight and heat, and clicked his tongue briefly.
‘…I guess there’s no turning back.’
With only his own strength, Vukban’s strength had already reached the end of the 5th level.
If there was even the slightest possibility of becoming an ally, the original plan was to subdue and recruit him rather than kill him on the spot.
Since I had had him as a companion a few times, I was confident that I would be able to persuade him somehow as long as I could neutralize him.
‘But it’s a different story if all gods have descended.’
The reason why Bukban succeeded in completely opening up the territory was because the wall that had been blocked was cleared when the two gods descended.
That is a completely different dimension from simply believing in a pantheon or serving as a priest.
Advent is ultimately about sharing consciousness with an object.
Since he accepted the two main gods, he would naturally have been aware of the existence lurking behind the pantheon.
‘Even after knowing all that… I made my current choice without looking back.’
Contrary to popular belief, the purpose of the pantheon is not the survival or salvation of mankind.
They are in fact no different from other demons who have decided to destroy not only the labyrinth city but the entire continent.
As long as one agreed to that will, Vukban was a clear enemy.
And there was only one option to choose as an opponent.
「Baekhyanggeun(百向根)」
The ice flower spreads out hundreds of roots. After creating a rough ground to stand on, Dallon adjusted his sword and held it.
I took a quick look and found that there was almost no damage to the city. Transcendants, including seers, are offsetting the power of the pantheon.
‘I guess I can leave the rest to you with peace of mind.’
「Domain Open: Closed Snowy Mountain Sky」
A dark red shadow is cast in the cloudless sky, and at the same time, a colorless wave spreads out from under Dallan’s feet.
「Step(踏步)」
A step taken on the ground made of ice roots.
Kkkwang-!
And the ice root earth explodes following the blurring new shape.
「Thunder grouse」 and
「Malwon」
In his left hand, he simultaneously swings a branch of burning blue electric current while forming a noise that erases even the sword energy in the sacred sword of his right hand.
「Area Open: Gray Sky at the End」
At the moment of clash, gray shade turns the sky of the area gray-white.
「Hoemyeong(回冥)」
「Guyeondapsan(九聯踏散)」
Eight seals occupying all sides of the red giant and throwing out relic weapons taken from subspace.
Woooooo…!
The giant’s spirit roared and stretched out four pairs of arms, but Dallon did not bother to respond honestly.
“Lux.”
Except for him, the eight people all let go of their weapons and step back. The moment the red giant touched the lost weapons, the power contained in the relic weapons exploded all at once.
Kkwagwagwagwa-!
Waves of magical power that explode one after another from a short distance away.
Daelon’s new form, now blurred once again, crossed the explosion and reached Vukvan’s face.
[Infidel…!]
Huh!
Interval that converges to 0. The tip of a sword penetrates the breath of conversation.
Sword and sword crossed dozens of times in an instant, divine power and spells spewed out their respective essences, illuminating the storm of dust with five colors.
Weapons, limbs, sacred magic, and techniques mix together, biting into each other and pouring magical power into the air.
「Windyeonggye (風影結界)」
If you hide yourself between the curtains of wind and create a gap.
「Tathagata Daylight」
The sunlight running along the horizon clears the shadows and shines through the curtain. The moment when the beam of light rising from the tip of
the knight
commander’s sword splits into a hundred branches and dominates all directions, strangling the air.
「Magic Armor: Baekpungap (伯風甲)」
The swirling wind that surrounded the entire body split into hundreds of branches, refracting and bouncing the beam of light, opening the passage.
“Whoa…!”
A strange sense of elation, as if the inside of my head was heating up. The corners of my mouth are pulled up without me realizing it.
A sharp sword strike crushes the speed of sound, creating a porous sound, and with each step, a strange friction sound that distorts the space under one’s feet escapes.
Battles between transcendents are not determined simply by the number of ranks.
In a fight where each party looks ahead and projects each other’s possibilities at the right time and place, the number of possibilities itself is as important as accumulated skills and innate intuition.
Let’s go!
In order to expose the opponent’s bottom, the pace of attack and defense becomes increasingly irregular and faster.
It was a moment when the two people’s new forms were intertwined as they repeatedly switched positions.
「Real resonance」
「Sky of closed snow mountain」
「White sky of the end」
The two skies roared together.
「Double Heaven」
Dark red clouds and gray celestial sphere resonate, isolating the entire space itself.
「Thunderstorm(雷濫): Resonance」
Dozens of bright blue lightning strikes the ground through the dark clouds, sweeping away and trapping the sunlight pouring in from the east.
「Thunder God Tree」
━━━━━━━!
A huge tree made of dozens of thunderbolts coming together in a bundle pierces the top of the giant’s head and takes root inside.
The roots of electricity spread out in all directions, shattering a mass that was much larger than the castle wall from within.
Uuuu…….
The giant collapses and the momentum of sunlight illuminating the battlefield decreases.
Vukvan’s body was lying on the tip of the thunderbolt’s root.
[Kuh…how….]
“What about how?”
Bukvan could not survive the lightning strike and half of his body was charred.
The body of the bastard burned to the point of being no better than a burnt tree branch.
If it hadn’t been for the power of the two gods to help him overcome his own limits, he wouldn’t have been able to breathe now that half of his body was shattered.
[Off…Ugh…]
Lips trembling painfully. Without hesitation, Dallon picked up the holy sword and cut off the guy’s head.
It was a fight that ended more smoothly than expected.
Although he reached the 6th rank and completely opened up the area, Vukvan’s senses were not able to fully adapt to the surge in power.
In any case, defeating a 6th rank transcendent with a single person was quite a big achievement.
Because of the terrestrial dragon’s compatibility, Red Spear had a complete advantage, and Sisella’s incarnation only took time, but didn’t the seer finish it off on his own?
When fighting the incarnation of X’un, Tsarina sacrificed her life to wound him, and was able to win after receiving an unknown power from a being presumed to be the great ancestor of the High Orcs.
However, in order to deal with evil gods who have risen to the level of full gods, they must be at least capable of lightly defeating demi-gods.
‘How many steps are left now?’ The moment he thought that
,
the sound of a crow suddenly tickled his ears.
Dallen let out a short sigh and looked to the side.
With black feathers fluttering about, Sienna was looking at Vukvan’s body with confused eyes.
