The Return of Apocalypses Tyrant - Chapter 210

Episode 210

“You want to see me get stronger? “You’re quite the pervert, too.”

[It’s not strange depending on your perspective. Because I waited for someone who had the potential to become stronger.]

“If you want so…”

As soon as Namgung finished speaking, Hydra stepped back.

As if giving him time to adjust to his newly acquired abilities.

Namgoong didn’t like his leisurely behavior, but he focused on his abilities instead.

‘It’s a power I couldn’t reach even in my previous life.’

It’s definitely exciting, but no matter how advanced the power is, if it’s difficult to handle, it can actually be toxic.

《Soul Light Lv (None)》

An ability that can only be obtained by those who have mastered the eye to understand the souls of the dead.

▶ You will be able to see the souls of the living as well as the dead.

‘The soul of a living person? ‘What’s the use of that?’

Namgung slightly tilted his head and looked at the remaining abilities.

《Soul Extortion Lv (None)》

A new ability that can only be obtained by those who can absorb souls.

▶ You can go beyond the stage of absorbing friendly souls and forcibly take and absorb all souls.

▶ Souls forcibly extorted can, as an exception, be stored without being absorbed.

▶ Soul Storage 0/3

《Soul Reign Lv (None)》

A realm of necromancy that can only be reached by those who have ministered to many souls.

▶ You can now summon souls stored in soul storage.

▶ The soul summoned by Soul Reign is immediately destroyed when the reign is lifted.

‘There was a limitation that only friendly souls could perform soul ministry, but this can be resolved through soul storage and soul reign.’

Even though there were only three people, it was a great advantage to be able to forcefully control spirits that were not friendly to you.

In fact, although there are many powerful monsters among the gates of the upcoming carnival, it is difficult to see friendly strong ones.

[Looking at his expression, he seems to like it. But don’t forget. The power you have now is something you can obtain after passing the test.]

“That’s right. So I guess I should be grateful to you. “Because it allowed me to use this power before the exam.”

[To say that… I wonder how great it is?]

Hydra adjusted his spear and took a stance.

▶ The light of the soul was used.

▶ You can see the location of the other person’s soul for a moment.

Namgung’s eyes sparkled. To my surprise, something shiny caught my eye on the tip of the spear the hydra was holding.

‘Could that window actually be the main body?’

Namgung looked at him with an interesting expression at the unexpected sight.

“Somehow… there was a reason why I was unaffected by the attacks of the Shinigami and demons. Yes, you should be confident.”

[Are you sure you saw right through me? Good good. [It’s getting more and more interesting.]

Hydra seemed to be amused by his words and lifted his spear.

“….”

Namgung looked behind him.

Hydra’s expression crumpled at the sight of him.

[Are you acting the other way in front of me? Or maybe you were scared when you saw my soul?]

Kwaaaaang—!!!

The Hydra pulled back its spear and shot out like a bullet, flying towards Namgung.

‘Damn it…’

Namgung couldn’t deny Hydra’s words.

The soul felt at the tip of the spear.

As expected of an incarnation, the intimidating feeling felt in his soul made him feel as if he had Yor in front of him.

[Move. You can’t win just by looking.]

Namgung hurriedly turned around at the incredible speed that couldn’t be traced with the naked eye, but the Hydra’s spear had already lodged in his shoulder.

“Kaaaaaa!!”

Namgung collapsed with a scream.

[That’s boring. You have already died once.]

Sugeuk-!!!

Hydra, standing on top of the fallen Namgung, slashed with the spear he was holding.

As the cold spear blade scratched his neck, a few drops of red blood fell to the floor.

[Why are you avoiding me? You saw my soul inside my window, right? You have to destroy this to catch me, right?]

Kwaang-!!

Namgung, who had fallen down, pushed the hydra away with his foot and stood up.

[Hmm.]

Hydra stepped back, lightly dusted off his clothes and swung his spear.

The tip of the spear spread into dozens of branches like a living snake, aiming at Namgung’s blind spot.

Kang! Kang!! Kagang…!!

This wasn’t my first time dealing with humanoid monsters. However, the more I experienced Hydra’s Spear, the more I felt that it was different from the monsters I had seen so far.

‘You have to find the difference.’

Namgung thought as he narrowly avoided Hydra’s spear. You have to find that difference to beat him.

▶ Spot Weakness cannot be used.

▶ The other person is a higher being than you. At the warning in the last line

,

Namgung bit his lip and swung his sword.

Kang-! Kagang-!!

Even the sword demons no longer appeared, perhaps because they were frightened by the majesty of the Hydra.

[That amazing sword has been reduced to nothing more than a strong club.]

“…Shut up!!”

Namgung swung his sword with all his might towards Hydra’s spear. However, as if teasing him, Hydra leisurely dodged his sword and attacked.

[Waist.]

Poop-!!

[Legs.]

Crunch-!!!

[Your heart is empty.]

Kwajik…!!

Every time the Hydra’s spear touched, Namgung’s body swayed and shook. When the tip of the spear finally pierced Namgung’s chest, Namgung fell backwards with pain that took his breath away.

[Did I expect too much? I expected the power of necromancy, but it turned out to be a scarecrow that couldn’t do anything.]

“…It’s over.”

[Are you giving up? Pathetic.]

“No. Not you. “The ones left over there.”

[What?]

Namgung clutched his throbbing chest and growled.

▶ We found souls remaining around us.

▶ You can use Soul Extortion.

As he looked down the hill, his vision seemed to expand and he saw the corpses of the Avatars scattered all over the place.

Inside the corpse were pitch-black souls that had not yet been extinguished.

‘It’s different from Hydra’s.’

Unlike the black soul, Hydra’s was bright and colorless. Moreover, unlike the murderous intent felt from them, nothing was felt in the guy’s soul.

‘Just because something is different doesn’t guarantee that it’s good…’

I wondered if his eccentric behavior was related to the color of his soul.

▶ The soul of Ouroboros was stolen.

▶ Lamia’s soul was stolen.

▶ Piton’s soul was stolen.

Ssssssssssssssss—!!

At that moment, the souls of the corpses at the bottom of the hill flew toward him as if they had been sucked in.

[Hoo?]

Hydra made an interesting expression as he looked at the souls seeping into his palm.

“You said you wanted to fight a strong guy, right? Then you guys hit and fight among yourselves.”

▶ Soul Reign was used.

▶ You can summon reigning spirits.

[Kyaaaaaagh—!!!]

▶ Summon the soul of Python.

[… Suck?!]

A huge snake summoned from the floor opened its mouth and rushed towards Hydra.

Hydra placed its spear vertically in the mouth of the python that was trying to swallow it, and dodged its attack by flying its body.

Phew!

The spear containing the soul, as if it didn’t matter that it had no body, pierced through the python’s head and flew back to its owner.

[I still don’t like this window. Hydra.]

▶ Summon Lamia’s soul.

Lamia, who appeared just before reaching Hydra’s hand, deflected his spear with her sword.

Suddenly,

Hydra’s arm, which was trying to hold the spear, slashed in the air, and at that moment, Namgung’s sword cut off his wrist.

Tuk –

Hydra’s severed arm fell to the ground and Namgung turned around and aimed for the guy’s neck.

[Thanks to this, I have a fun experience. It’s a fight with my brothers… I wanted to try it at least once.]

But at that moment, Hydra lifted his severed arm with his foot and threw it at Namgung’s face as if he were kicking a ball.

Wow-!!

While Namgung, who could not dodge, hesitated to block his arm, Hydra stepped on his shoulder, jumped up, and climbed on top of Python’s head.

[Haha.]

The guy grabbed the scales on the python’s head with an excited expression, like a child riding an amusement ride.

Ouch….

And then, as if trying not to fall off, he tightened his legs around the python’s head.

pop-!!

At that moment, as if unable to withstand the pressure of his two legs, Piton’s soul burst like a balloon.

[Heaaa!!]

Lamia’s sword was aimed at him in the scattered smoke.

[That sword looks lonely now that you, who always accompanied me, are alone.]

Boom!

Hydra said, dodging her sword.

[No, it’s not lonely, it’s just sloppy?]

Whoops!

The tip of the Hydra’s toe, which was retreating, stuck in Lamia’s neck.

[Ugh…]

When he strengthened his legs, Lamia’s neck was cut off like a blade.

Chwii Iik…!!!

As he landed on the ground, black smoke engulfed him.

Unlike his relaxed appearance a moment ago, Hydra’s face hardened slightly at the smoke blowing out at him.

[It’s a shame, Uro.]

Hydra stepped back away from the smoke and said to the snake looking down at him.

[Snake, you will never be second in command. If you’re a weak force that can’t kill anything, you’ll have to bite your own tail forever.]

[Crrrrrrr…]

[You always wanted to beat me. I know I tried all sorts of tricks, but… the best I could think of was poison. It’s pathetic.]

Did his provocation work?

[Kyaaaaak-!!]

After spitting out its tail, Ouroboros attacked it with its teeth for the first time.

[Yes, since ancient times, you have to say that it is a snake. If you are at the peak of pensions, you would know. What do I have to do to kill my soul?]

Hydra said as she looked at Ouroboros, who was rushing towards the fallen spear instead of her.

“stop!!!”

It was then.

At Namgung’s shout, Ouroboros’ mouth, which was about to swallow the spear, stopped.

“Don’t break it.”

Changgrang….

“What a funny guy. I get it now. what? Do you want to fight the strong? “You’re talking nonsense like that.”

He said as he picked up the spear that had fallen on the floor and stuck it in the ground.

“Is this what you wanted? Breaking a spear.”

Namgung was able to understand why he felt a sense of heterogeneity between his soul and the souls of other incarnations.

“The souls of all incarnations are as black as pitch black. But the soul in this window is not like that. why? Because you are purer than other incarnations?”

Tung….

“No. Because this is not your soul.”

Namgung threw the spear in front of him.

“Why don’t you be honest now?”

He said coldly.

“Whose soul is inside this is why they are acting so poorly?”
