Revenge of the Iron-Blooded Sword Hound - Chapter 351
Episode 351 Outside the Tower (1)
[…How could a human being reach this place!?]
Amdusias opened his mouth in amazement.
Bikir swung the blade once without saying anything.
Then, fragments of the dark red aura drip to the floor.
Amdusias’ expression suddenly changed in an instant.
[That blood…? Why is that here…?]
I could feel the energy that twisted the causality of Naraksu from Vikir’s sword.
But Vikir did not answer any of Amdusias’ questions.
but.
“The devil kills.”
Twice, or now, he hit even the river flowing in the Naraksu and passed through three lives, revealing his stronger conviction.
…Pacan!
The tip of Amdusias’s horn collided with the tip of Bikir’s sword, rupturing the atmosphere.
A void that breaks like a window. Sparks fell between the countless dark cracks.
Dismissed! Paperweight!
Amdusias felt a different ominous feeling from Vikir’s sword.
Unlike the previous encounter, Vikir’s sword was much faster and more accurate, and now it had a creepy aura of some unknown kind.
[Even if it’s because of the stats I got from the tower that I became faster and stronger… Is this unpleasant feeling because of its blood?]
Amdusias stepped back and screamed.
[You bastard! What did you put on the knife! Where did you get that!?]
“Damn it.”
Bikir was still a question and answer dance.
…Pacan!
Another eight slashes flew and tried to cut Amdusias.
Amdusias lifted the giant single horn unique to unicorns and slashed them all away.
Jjiing-
However, not all slashes could be removed.
When the crescent-shaped slash is broken and the fragments are scattered, there are small scratches all over Amdusias’ body.
And fragments of the aura penetrated the wound.
[Really?]
Amdusias felt his vision blur for a moment.
Suddenly, a strange vision began to appear before my eyes.
A huge mushroom cloud rising over the distant horizon where all the mountain mana, created by the piled up bones of a bog of blood and flesh, had dried up.
……And the barren desert that stretches endlessly.
……A huge tower towering in the middle of the desert.
……An old man in black walks alone toward the tower.
Each fantasy pierces Amdusias’s brain while being broken into fragments.
[What is this?]
Even Amdusias of the world was perplexed.
As an unprecedented substance that distorts the law of causality permeates through wounds on the body, strange things keep flickering in the eyes.
Seeing that, Bikir was convinced.
‘……There seems to be something in Piggy’s blood.’
I don’t know what kind of hallucinations Amdusias is seeing, but one thing is certain.
Piggy’s blood is like deadly poison to demons, and it’s enough to distract a demon lord level demon once.
It is unclear by what principle the causal law is twisted and the demons are hit, but the phenomenon that happened once was enough.
Vikir gathered his strength once again and prepared for a slash.
however.
[Oh oh! Do you think you will suffer anymore?]
Amdusias also began to plan a counterattack.
Tsutsutsutsutsutsutsu……
The nightmares in the Naraksu turned into black energy and began to be absorbed by Amdusias.
He glared at Vikir while sucking in black energy through his mouth.
[You know that too. All the sonic-dimensional emotions emitted by the challengers of this tower become the food of my Naraksu.]
All the negative energy emitted by those who were forcibly drawn to the tower.
In other words, emotions such as sadness, bitterness, anger, screaming, betrayal, hatred, and inferiority all fall prey to Amdusias.
[I’ll eat your emotions too.]
“Emotions. Do you think I have those left?”
[There can be no one who has set foot in the supreme realm. I can clearly see into the depths of the unconscious. Bluffing doesn’t work.]
Amdusias raised his horn and aimed it at Bikir’s chest, his eyes shining.
[Your fear, anger, sorrow, and all the negative energy will become my strength.]
At the same time, Amdusias started to run.
The ghost horse’s gallop. It lays a straight black path on the floor.
It was the speeding road that led directly to Bikir’s mental world.
* * *
…thump!
Amdusias planted his heavy horseshoe on the ground.
As much as he is an expert at pulling someone into the image world, he is also a skilled Amdusias at entering the image world of others.
Amdusias looked around.
The dry black soil, bony dead trees, and the thick smoke rising from all over the burning land blocked the view.
[Mmm. You have a pretty bleak inside for a human being.]
Amdusias walked forward for a long time, breaking through the smoke and fog.
Before long, a hazy shadow appeared through the hazy air.
It was a fairly large stone statue, but it was worn out by the wind and waves of the years and was not in perfect shape.
There were many broken parts here and there, but the face of the stone statue could be roughly identified.
[Hugo and Osiris… are the iron-blooded sword masters and minor masters of Baskerville? Hmm, the fact that the stone statue is this large means that the presence in the heart is quite large. It seems that he has feelings for his family in his own way.]
Amdusias was judging the presence or absence of feelings by the size of the fairly large stone statue.
In the world of imagery, the bigger the hurt and the bigger the emotion, the bigger the expression.
…thud!
Amdusias stomped his heavy feet and trampled down all the giant trees and rocks that stood in his way.
[It seems quite wide for a mere human image world. I can see some very large beings…]
Because of the heavy smoke and fog, it was impossible to accurately determine how wide this place was or where I was located.
But even so, in the end, it is the inner world of a boy who is not even 20 years old.
How wide would it be if it were all wide?
[Hmph.]
Amdusias snorted and moved forward.
Before long, a fairly steep uphill road appeared in front of Amdusias.
The terrain looked like a mountain, but the exact height was unknown because of smoke and fog.
[If so, let’s say the inside of an insignificant human being is high.]
Still, if you go up to a high place, you will be able to see the surroundings a bit.
Amdusias started walking up the slope of the mountain that appeared in front of him.
…thud! …thud! …thud! …thud!
Amdusias’s horse’s hooves hit the ground.
The dry, broken soil was swept down and caused a landslide, but Amdusias pierced them all with his unique huge body.
Amdusias continued climbing the mountain somewhere in Vikir’s mind.
[…Perhaps this mountain is the highest mountain in the world.]
Amdusias felt sweat dripping down his forehead.
A bleak mountain where the leaves of every tree are burnt and crumbled, the soil dries up, the insects die, and the animals are left with only bones.
The mountain was surprisingly high. To the extent that Amdusias of the world climbed and got tired for a while.
[A mountain in the imagery world usually means the accumulation of emotions such as responsibility, burden, and debt… How many emotions does this human have accumulated?] Amdusias muttered incomprehensibly
. distanced
No matter how much power he has, isn’t he just a teenage boy?
How long have you lived, how long have you been through, do you have these feelings inside?
Amdusias questioned and continued to climb the emotional mountain.
Although the peak was not visible because it was hidden by smoke and fog, I intuitively felt that the summit was not far away.
Amdusias continued his ascent.
……How much time had passed.
And soon Amdusias stepped on the top of the mountain.
The tip of a mountain pointed like an awl. There was nothing there, just empty.
Amdusias raised his head and looked down the mountain, but there, too, was covered in smoke and fog, and nothing could be seen.
Just an empty top.
Amdusias measured the height he had climbed and opened his mouth as if he was absurd.
[I don’t know how one human being could accumulate so many negative emotions. Even an old veteran who has crossed the line of fire hundreds of times wouldn’t be like this…]
Amdusias decided to acknowledge Bikir.
Being able to build a mountain this high in your mind means that you are not an ordinary human being.
[But you have to be human. It is impossible to stand against the power of Amdusias.]
Amdusias snorted and looked down the mountain.
It was to find and kill Bikir’s ego, which was hiding somewhere the size of a mouse.
at that time.
Kugung-
The entire mountain trembled lightly.
A storm that came from somewhere began to sweep away smoke and fog around the mountain peak.
And at that moment, Amdusias saw.
[…!]
The land that spreads endlessly under the mountain.
The distant horizon stretched out so wide that even Amdusias could not fathom its end.
But it wasn’t just the breadth of the land that took Amdusias’s breath away.
bloody acid.
A swamp of blood and flesh. A mountain made of bones. The blood that makes up rivers, lakes and seas.
The corpses of demons and humans were intertwined with each other to form hills and hills, valleys and canyons, and boiling lava and brimstone erupted everywhere.
An enormous number of monsters flocked to eat the corpses, and screams and screams of grief and agony were raging endlessly from all over the place.
Amdusias trembled at the sight of this huge chaotic chain of hatred.
[Why is something like this in human imagination!?] A
terrible battlefield that even Amdusias, who ranks among the devils, has never experienced.
Outer Demonic World. The horror and misery of this place is beyond measure.
A more bloody and terrifying landscape than hell was unfolding here.
[Humans have never seen such scenery in their lifetime! Why is this kind of battlefield, which even I, a devil, have never experienced, is in the image of this young bastard who has not even lived for a while!]
Even so clearly and so vividly unfolded. It was unbelievable.
Right then.
…Koo Goong!
The mountain vibrated once more.
[……?]
Amdusias raised his head in surprise.
Then something even greater comes into view.
Koo-gu-gu-gu-gu……
Mountain.
There were mountains much taller and taller than the one Amdusias had climbed just before.
It’s like four more!
The mountain that Amdusias climbed was only the smallest among them.
astonished thrill. Amdusias froze in place and said nothing.
As I said before, the mountain in the world of imagery means the burden of the heart, such as a sense of debt accumulated in the heart, a sense of responsibility, and a sense of mission.
But how could a human being, and a young boy in his teens, own five mountains like this?
Even in such a terrible and terrifying world!
Amdusias stammered open his mouth.
[I can’t believe it……]
But he couldn’t even finish his words.
thud!
The five mountains seemed to be shaking violently, and suddenly they began to rise upward.
[???]
Amdusias soared upward without knowing why.
And soon he realized a frightening fact.
Ku-gu-gu-gu-gu…
these five peaks of this great mountain range now approaching Amdusias.
It had a swirl pattern engraved on the tip.
Amdusias murmured in dismay as he watched the five gigantic mountain peaks gather in one place, walking through the smoke and fog.
[……Fingers?]
That’s right.
A gigantic body exposed under five huge mountain peaks. The source and core of the world of images.
The age of destruction. A regressor who embraced a piece of that terrible world in his heart.
Bikir’s ego was raising her body.
