Genius Corpse-Collecting Warrior - Chapter 274

274

Reflection (4)

“It is not easy to retrieve the star tree and restore its power, nor to twist the Hell Gate technique that much.”

The man scratched the area around his neck. After being silent for a moment, he added:

“But the most surprising thing is that you know how to care for your colleagues.”

“I think they think I’m some kind of psychopath.”

Dallen laughed and put his hands around his waist. The man who saw this also put his fingers in his belt.

“Psychopath? “What is that?”

“I don’t know anything.”

“I know you don’t mean that well.”

The air is tense between the two men chatting about useless things.

Toes lightly tapping the ground. A gesture of scratching the bridge of the nose.

From the slight angle of your body to the direction of your gaze that lingers from moment to moment.

Movements and postures that seem meaningless design a base optimized for attack and defense, and at the same time keep the opponent who reads them in check.

There wasn’t even a single punch, let alone a sword attack or a martial arts attack, but it was as if the fight had already begun.

‘It won’t be easy.’

Dallen thought as he slowly rotated his stiff wrist.

It wasn’t that there was a lack of effort or process. Because right now, my abilities and condition are better than ever.

If he were to face the lightning magician Daeltarion again, who barely achieved victory with the help of the Red Spear and the God of War, he could definitely win.

Necromancer Dalum Jive, who went through without a fight, was also likely to have a good chance of winning, considering the cenotaphs that filled the snowy mountain.

However, the warrior and magician Daelin in the last episode is definitely unrivaled among the three most powerful transcendents he has raised.

Even if I brought back all the characters I had developed over hundreds of episodes, it was unclear whether I would be able to win the last episode.

[…Can you win?]

‘Well. I think it’s about half and half.’

Dallon shrugged his shoulders in response to Jeokchang’s worried question.

Although it felt like an infinitely unfavorable battlefield, it was not without its advantages.

Although he was not yet at the same level as Daelin, he also experienced the heights of the 7th level by fighting against the true body of the Dragon God.

The sense of unity of becoming one with three great dragons was something I had never experienced before, even in the last episode called Fighting God.

In addition, the gray shimmer peeking through the gaps in the man’s armor would also be evidence that he had not completely blended into this world.

This would have been possible because the fact that a corpse, which by nature should not have been able to move from its position, had substance itself had consumed a great deal of strength.

“Anyway, if you brought your colleagues here, there must be a reason, right?”

The man suddenly asked. Dallon answered briefly.

“Because of the gateway.”

“Ah, the gateway. An ancient door that requires multiple people to pass through? If it’s a gateway, you don’t have to worry. “I roughly destroyed it on the way up from the bottomless pit.”

“…….”

“You don’t have to be thankful. Anyway, I had to come up to the implicit sea and moon to prepare your gift. “You received it well, right?”

The man said, scratching his neck obsessively. The grave voice contained a strange madness.

“But the judgment that the labyrinth city would be safe was a little funny. “You must have seen that city collapse hundreds of times, so why did you force your colleagues there instead of somewhere else?”

Pajik. Pajijit!

Black electricity jumps between scratching fingers. A gray shadow flickered over the reddened skin of the nape of the neck.

Dallen looked at that figure in silence. There would be no point in mentioning the fact that the Labyrinth City would be safer than here and now, and that the Labyrinth City also needed the help of its colleagues.

When there was no answer, the man immediately lowered the hand that was scratching his neck. He continued speaking while patting his palms.

“Well, that’s good. “I didn’t necessarily want to get their blood on my hands.”

“I’m not convinced. “Didn’t they slaughter all the explorers who tried to drive the monsters out of the labyrinth?”

“That’s because they were going to die anyway. Besides, I didn’t kill him myself, did I? If you were planning on coming down to the labyrinth, you should have thoroughly prepared yourself to survive in any situation. “It’s just because I got hit by a monster or something.”

Snap.

The man took a natural step forward. The tight balance between the two was broken by that light movement.

“Then where…”

The sound of lava splashing.

The man’s finger is pointing at Dallan.

“Shall we check how prepared the protagonist of the great prophecy is?”

There was no omen.

As soon as I flicked my fingertips, the sky split.

「Black Thunder」

The thing that blew away the fog from the ground and fell was a stem of lightning several times thicker than a tree.

The moment you try to react, it’s too late. The moment my hand grasped the axe, the black lightning had already reached the ground.

“Holy shit…”

Kwazi──┴─┬─┴┬─

The son-in-law turned dark.

***

Kkkkwang! Gurgling──!!

Thunder echoes across the mountainside. It was an echo one beat late.

By the time the thunder that split the sky reached the ground, hundreds of black lightning had already struck the spot where Dallan was standing.

“what. In a trivial way. “Is this all it ends with?”

Daline stood in the sky looking down at the billowing black smoke and tilted his lips in a pouty way.

Of course, Black Lightning was one of the most efficient and powerful attack methods he had.

It took less than half a breath to fire off hundreds of bundles.

The mountainside touched by the black lightning was blown away in chunks, and the cabins and vacant lots within its range also evaporated without leaving a trace.

“…….”

A sight as if a giant monster had taken a bite out of the mountain. How long had I been looking at the thick smoke that remained like the breath of a monster?

The corners of the slanted man’s mouth rose slightly. He said.

“Not bad.”

Something flashed and the smoke parted. A pure white flash. It was an axe.

The flash of light flew faster than a bullet and immediately split into hundreds.

The man also snapped his fingers. Hundreds of black lightning fell to the ground. The ends of the line were axes flying into the sky.

Jeez━━━━!!

Hundreds of flashes of light and hundreds of lightning strikes clash.

The sight of a series of explosions was as if a dark red wall had spread between the sky and the ground.

Divine power and thunderbolt collide, overturning the black and white shades, the ax breaks, and the magical fire bursts out, licking the air.

“Haha! Luke Buheim’s giant axe! This is something I used to love at one time. But what should I do? “It was shattered with just one ax throw!”

Daline shouted, looking down at the wall of dark red heat waves. No answer came back.

Wedge-!

What came back instead were hundreds of weapons shooting through the wall.

Each and every one of them is a relic weapon that can kill even the devil. Like the giant soldier axe, these are items worth a chest of gold coins.

“That’s funny! Did you buy the auction house in the labyrinth city? Or did you rob a hidden underground dragon’s lair?”

The magic contained in the flashing spear sword and rain of arrows even made Dallaine’s eyes widen. Of course, it only lasted a moment.

As a warrior and a magician, his calloused fingers created familiar variations.

Immediately afterwards, a huge net of black lightning unfolded.

「Black Thunder」

「Anonymous Blade」

───Doo doo doo doo!!

A torrential downpour of black lightning.

The surging waves of relic weapons are caught up in a storm of black electricity, breaking and engulfing each other, creating a spectacular explosion.

Kkwagwagwagwa……!!!

The sky of the dark sea and moon was colored with a colorful crater.

In the heat, some of the tall mountain peaks evaporated from the top, and the fog that completely covered the ridges was blown away, leaving the bare skin of the bare, dead forests exposed.

“Whoa…!”

At the bottom of the battlefield, one step of the labyrinth is being devastated. Dallen was running along the valley.

With the help of Bigeom and Arbor, he is constantly firing weapons he has accumulated in subspace, but he does not have enough firepower to completely block the heavy rain of black lightning.

[Dallen! Be careful!]

A black lightning that penetrated the barrage of relic weapons.

As if anticipating Dallen’s steps, he manages to avoid the lightning’s path by acrobatically twisting his upper body.

Chiji━┻┳━━┳

Black lightning passed right in front of my chest.

In the aftermath alone, the relic’s armor crumbled to a crisp, and its skin, which was harder than steel, burned black from the heat.

Kkwagwa──!

Immediately after, the rock that had been struck by lightning exploded, creating a hole over 100 meters in diameter, and a thunderclap was heard a step later.

Gurgling!

[Dallen, what are you thinking? Without opening the area right away…!]

Red Spear shouted beyond the image. Dallen immediately changed direction and ran away, shaking his head.

In the first place, the chances of winning in a head-to-head match were not high.

In that case, all you need is one move to catch your opponent off guard.

The battle between transcendents is both a battle of numbers and a battle of flow.

In the end, how thoroughly you hide your hand is also a way to break your opponent’s expectations at a critical moment, steal the flow, and increase your chances of winning.

And with only the fight against the character in the final episode, Dallon knew the perfect opportunity to bring that trend.

This was the reason why we could not hastily show our territory even if we were immediately outgunned.

‘…Not yet.’

Cry!

Roll your body to avoid the lightning that strikes from the top of your head.

Above the sky, on the other side of the clock that was spinning once, I saw Dalin’s face wrinkled.

“You’re like a rat. “The result of collecting the endings of hundreds of worlds is nothing more than this!”

He moved his feet for the first time. Left foot extended forward.

The soles of the leather boots are dyed red from the ankles to the ankles. It was a color like boiling lava.

「Red Flame God Treasure」

「Magic Armor: Bunha Gap」

Tukwaaaaaang!

Footsteps falling from the sky leave huge footprints on the ground hundreds of meters below.

A furrow of bright red lava that is over a hundred meters long and dozens of meters wide.

Coo coo coo coo…!!

The atmosphere that was crushed into space became a vacuum and sucked in all the air around the footprints.

Immediately after, the condensed heat exploded, and at the same time, the air that had been swallowed in excess was vomited out again, sweeping the area in a hot wind.

Dallen was not in range of the storm. This is because Dalin bought time by stamping his feet and at the same time using his armor to block out the heat, and then immediately moved his body a long way away.

Dallain’s eyes followed his new brother. The guy shouted.

“It’s just that kind of armor that can be deployed as a supernormal ability that redefines the concept of magic…!”

Left hand stretched out before even speaking. There were no hand seals or chants.

Without even skipping the process, the huge magic circle imprinted on the ground immediately began to freeze space with Dallan at the center.

「Convenient Throwing」

「Returning」

However, Dallan’s new form had already disappeared from there. Dallain’s head whipped around.

“I don’t know.”

The red, bloodshot eyes of a fighting spirit contained the smile of a man with traces of scorch marks here and there.

“It looks like they’re having a hard time catching someone who only has one talent for running away.”

Fangs exposed on slitting lips.

It was an obvious ridicule.
