The Return of Apocalypses Tyrant - Chapter 98
Episode 98
▶ The victims of London seep into you.
▶ We have absorbed the maximum number of heroic spirits that can be absorbed. It can’t absorb any more.
▶ I hope that the remaining heroic spirits will be absorbed by you.
▶ Soul absorption Lv2 → Lv3
▶ Absorbs heroic spirits.
▶ It can no longer be absorbed.
▶ Soul Absorption Lv3 → Lv4
▶ Soul Absorption Lv4 → Lv5
Blue heroic spirits began to continue to pour into Namgung’s body.
Surprisingly, even though it was already at its limit, it seemed like the souls were creeping into his body and forcibly raising the level of his skills.
[What is this….]
The Demon King could not hide his bewilderment at Namgung’s appearance.
This was because it was the first time he had seen such a sight in his hundreds and thousands of years of life.
The absorbed soul is completely destroyed.
Even if they were already dead, no one wanted to disappear.
Therefore, in fact, absorbing souls was not easy unless it was forcible absorption.
Namgung also has never used human souls other than the souls of monsters since the memorial hall.
[You guy…!!!!]
The Demon King felt something was wrong.
It was something that happened with the same probability as a stroke of genius.
▶ It is a state of unbalanced power.
▶ Carnival rules apply.
As if laughing at his urgency, the souls of so many victims rushed into him that Namgung could not accept.
▶ I experienced an unbearable number of heroic spirits.
▶ If more than this is absorbed, your body may be destroyed.
▶ The remaining spirits are crying out in protest.
▶ The soul’s desire is replaced by the title effect.
▶ A feat has been achieved!!
▶ Title: Heroic Spirit Monarch
A title that can be obtained when you have a heroic spirit worthy of the position of monarch.
The power of necromancy greatly increases for those who acquire the title.
“…!!!!”
Namgung held his breath without realizing it due to the strong force that surged in him.
When a soul is absorbed, the memories of the absorbed souls hit him like a tide.
If the memories of the heroes in the National Cemetery were of the war itself, the memories of the victims were different.
But even among those different memories, there was one common desire.
Revenge.
Namgoong slowly opened his closed eyes.
“Got it.”
The power of millions of people filled with that one strong emotion was pushing his back with all their might. That
‘s it –
towards the devil.
[Kaaaa!!!]
Feeling the spiritual pressure of those souls, the Demon King instinctively raised his magic power.
Shuaaaaaa…!!
Black flames spewing out from the magic circle attacked Namgung.
Pow!!!!
However, at that moment, when Namgung drew his sword, the flames flying towards him exploded like a balloon bursting with a loud roar and were oxidized.
Namgung
walked one step further towards the Demon King.
Pot!!!
[…!!!]
In an instant, his appearance disappeared and the Demon King quickly turned his head.
That’s right…! Tsuzuzu that is…!!
There was only a purple flame left like debris where Namgung had been standing.
[Damn it!]
Namgung’s speed was impossible for even the Demon King’s naked eyes to follow, so he gave up on dodging and spread his large wings to cover himself.
Crumbling –
But with an eerie sound, the Demon King realized that the vision that had been obscured by his wings was slowly coming into view.
thud!!
His wings had been cut off.
[KAAAAH!!!]
Red blood spurted out from the Demon King’s wings, which were difficult to even scratch.
[You…!!!]
The Demon King, who had lost two wings, shouted in an angry voice and swung his tail towards Namgung.
Chin –
But his tail was blocked by Namgung’s hand so easily that it seemed futile.
Wow…!!
When he put strength in his hand holding the tail, even his tail exploded in one blow.
[Ugh!!!]
The Demon King swung his fist here and there as if overcome by evil.
bang! bang!! Kwaaaang!!!
However, his attack was completely blocked by Namgoong.
Suddenly…!!
Rather, red blood sprayed from both fists of the demon king who attacked.
[Ugh…!!!]
The Demon King, who staggered back, looked at Namgung and gritted his teeth.
“Sometimes the grudges of the dead are helpful. “The resentment that keeps ringing in my head, telling me to kill you, never ends.”
Namgung drew the Star Sea Sword in the air.
Sigh…!!
The demon king’s blood on the blade was sprinkled on the floor.
[Crazy guy… why don’t you keep using that power like that? When the bowl becomes full, the water eventually overflows and breaks. Do you think you can take all those souls with that little bowl-like thing?]
The Demon King shouted with a stern face.
[Your worthless body will be eaten by souls first.]
Uuuuuung—!!!
At that moment, the blade of the Star Sea Sword went beyond purple and turned pitch black.
“You’ll have to try it to find out.”
Ride on…!!!
The distance between the two narrowed.
[Kaaaa!!!]
Red blood spurted out from the cross section of the severed wing and spread out like a net, covering Namgung. Ecstasy (無我經) –
The final technique of ecstasy learned in
the 3rd Book of Yasha World.
Instead, Namgung threw himself in front of the net of blood flying towards him and rolled forward with one hand on the ground.
“Whoop…!!!”
Giving strength to his hands on the floor, his body bounced in the opposite direction again, turned around, and stabbed his sword towards the Demon King’s face.
Tatadang!!!
However, unlike before, the devil’s net was not broken even by Namgung’s attack.
Gurgling….
The nets wriggled around the Star Sea Sword as if absorbing his mortal power.
Pow!!!!
However, the nets of blood that touched the sword exploded all at once.
The devil’s blood dripping everywhere!! The floor burned with black smoke, creating pits here and there.
[Yaksha’s technique… This is the technique of a once noisy guy. I thought it was gone now…]
The Demon King said as he saw his blood net being blown up by the absorbed power of Namgung.
[You… are a regressor.]
“So what?”
[The slayer who killed 666666 great demons who followed me…!! I will rip your head off and give it to them!!]
Namgung thrust the sword in with all his might.
The power struggle between the two beings continued, with the tip of the sword almost touching the devil’s eye embedded in the devil’s forehead.
“Slaughterer?”
Looking at the demon king’s screaming face, Namgung coldly sneered.
“The number is less than a million. The number of lives you have taken in less than a day since you descended on the human world is ten times greater. But…”
Card clatter…!!!
“How dare you say something like that!!”
Namgung ran towards the Demon King.
“It’s over.”
However, the Demon King, who was staggering in shock, smiled strangely at Namgung’s words.
[Kukkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk… Is that so?]
Jureuk-
That was then.
Blood suddenly flowed from Namgung’s nose as he was about to stab the sword into the Demon King’s neck.
Unlike the serious wounds that had healed cleanly just a moment ago, I hadn’t been attacked in any way.
The demon king’s bitter laughter was heard.
[What a pity. This is where human limitations ultimately end. In the end, it overflowed and the bowl broke.]
One of Namgung’s cheeks twitched at his words.
[No matter how much you are the revealer of the seven serpents, did you think you could suddenly accept so many vengeful spirits!!]
The power of the vengeful spirits emanating from the Star Sea Sword faded.
Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
The Demon King did not miss that opportunity.
[You are the one who dies.]
“Brother!!!”
It was then.
The space between them distorted and an arm stuck out.
Wow!!
Michael pulled Namgoong’s arm.
[Where!!!]
However, the Demon King instead placed a spell on Michael, who was trying to run away with Namgung.
Crackling…! It’s so crazy…!!
Red streaks like those from wings came out from the magic circle created on the floor and grabbed Michael’s ankle.
“…!!!”
[Trash revelers… I will tear them all apart!!!]
The Demon King’s venomous fingernails were aimed at them.
A moment of desperation.
Right before his nails pierced Namgoong’s neck,
he screamed…!!!!
Surprisingly, the chain wrapped around Namgung’s wrist wrapped around the arm of the demon king who was aiming for his heart.
[…!!!]
The Demon King’s face, which was full of confidence, hardened the moment he saw Namgung’s chain.
[Woo’s Chain…?]
The Demon King hastily removed his arm from the chain.
Cheeeeeek…!!
But surprisingly, after only being wrapped in chains for a short time, his arm was burned black.
[Ugh!!!]
The Demon King frowned and cut off his burned arm without hesitation.
Tuk…! Passsssseu!!
The severed arm shattered as soon as it hit the ground, leaving only ashes flying in the wind.
[You bastard…]
The Demon King growled at the staggering Namgung.
[Now that I see it, I see that he has stepped into an area that should not be crossed!!]
Quaaaaaaaaa!!!
Magical energy began to boil within his body.
A huge mass of magical power rose through the skies of London.
▶ The fourth festival has begun.
The moment his magic reached the sky, the door slowly began to reveal itself.
[You are someone who should not exist in this world!]
‘The sacrifices may not have been filled yet… Could it be that they used magical power to forcibly hasten the summoning of the door?’
Even though Namgung’s wings and tail were cut off, he was unable to breathe properly due to the endless powerful magical power.
Coogggggggg…!!
The sky split and roars like the screams of demons began to be heard within.
[You die here…!!]
At that time
, Kwaaaaang–!!!!!
The black smoke billowing out around Namgung pushed the demon king away with a roar.
▶ The heroic spirits replaced by the title effect explode.
▶ The title has lost its effect.
[Kaaaaah!!!]
The body of the demon king who was trying to open the dimension door was thrown away by the unexpected explosion.
“Now!!!”
As the stems that bound his legs disappeared, Michael wrapped his arms around Namgung’s waist and increased his strength.
[Stand there!!!!!]
Fearing that the Demon Lord would miss him, he instinctively stretched out his arm toward the gap in the space created by Michael.
But I couldn’t catch them as they disappeared with my hand cut off by the chain.
Wow…!!!
The space he had jumped into disappeared and the Demon King was left alone and had no choice but to stand there in despair.
[….]
At that moment, the whispers of the heroic spirits that had exploded a moment ago were heard in the Demon King’s ears.
Come to Korea.
[Do you think you dare run away from me!!!]
Quaang…!!!!
Listening to the heroic spirit’s words, the Demon King hit the floor nervously.
[Army forces…!! Tear that bastard to shreds and eat it all without leaving a single fingernail!!!!]
Then he glared in the direction where Namgung had disappeared and whispered as if he was chewing.
[I will begin the revenge I was unable to achieve in my previous life.]
* * *
Crackling…! Cheesy…!!!!
The space was torn apart and two people were thrown out.
“Wow!!”
Unable to overcome the speed, Michael tumbled several meters and fell to the ground.
“Oh go…”
Michael barely stopped by being thrown against the wall and stood up, slapping his back.
“uh?”
“…older brother!!!”
At Myung-Hoon’s shout, the people inside shouted at the two people.
“Are you okay?”
Myung-hoon shouted as he supported Namgung, who was lying helpless next to Michael.
“Hurry and put your brother down!”
“…Why are you here already?”
“Are you out of your mind? We went to London after Michael dropped us off. Thanks to this, I was able to save time.”
Michael, who was leaning against the wall, grinned while showing the letter V with his fingers.
“Hojun, bring whatever potions you have!! And talk to Hyoju and find a healer who can recover!!!”
“Oh, I understand!!”
“done. The potion I have now is useless. Even if Aira Michel comes, it will be difficult to drive out this poison.”
Namgoong placed his hand on his throbbing chest.
Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
sweetly light emitted from the palm of her hand.
‘It’s a mess inside… After all, I absorbed the power of so many heroic spirits at once…’
It was no exaggeration to say it was a gamble.
‘Rather, they probably saved my life. ‘Because they destroyed themselves by exploding themselves.’
Thanks to this, the effect of the title disappeared, but it was better than losing my life.
“Just look at Michael. “If I had brought you here too… I would have made several leaps between London and Korea.”
Namgung, who was being supported, said as he pulled down Myeonghun’s hand, which was giving orders to Hojun.
“Do not worry. “It’s not like I’m going to die.”
Michael, who was cornered, drew a V with his hand and said.
“Is now the time to worry about others? What on earth were you thinking by going there alone! What if something goes wrong…!!”
Myung-Hoon urged him.
“Call me Jin Soo-hyuk.”
However, Namgung just smiled faintly at his scolding and roughly ruffled his hair instead of replying as if he was okay.
“…I’m already waiting.”
Chiik –
Myung-Hoon was dissatisfied with his actions, but as if there was nothing he could do, he muttered, licked his lips, and nodded back.
The door opened and Jin Soo-hyuk appeared.
“You were fine when you came here in the morning, but you turned into a complete mess in one day.”
“I take it as a compliment. “What happened?”
“The evacuation of more than 80% of Daejeon citizens has been completed. I think it will take some time to move the remaining people…”
Jin Soo-hyuk trailed off.
“are you okay. Because I bought time. “The Demon King used his magic power to forcibly open the gates of hell, but it was not complete.”
The alarm for the fourth carnival has sounded, but it will take at least a day for the demon army to come over.
“All right. “That will be enough for the remaining personnel to complete the evacuation.”
Jin Soo-hyuk nodded.
“So much has changed in less than a day. When you suddenly came to see me in the morning, I thought it was a ridiculous plan…”
He smiled bitterly as if he was remembering that time.
“Let’s get ready.”
But unlike him, Namgung’s mind was already thinking of the next plan.
Rumbling….
At that moment, the sound of the chain around his wrist hitting was heard.
