Chapter 108

#Episode 108

The battleships that had adorned the sky were all split in half.

A massive Black Fortress appeared on the ground and slaughtered all the Knights of the Sun clad in black armor.

The Monarch’s wrath that occurred in just about 2 seconds was truly terrifying, enough to make her skin tremble.

“Truly a monster-like bastard…”

The Monarch descends from within the Black Fortress.

The Monarch slowly descended like the King of Death imbued with death descending to the mortal world, pointing his scythe tip at her.

“Do you have any last words before you die?”

A cold tone that assumed the execution was already finished, not considering defeat at all.

She pulled up the corners of her mouth in a weak smile and shouldered her greatsword.

“I am Hestia, priestess of the Black Sun.”

She declares with a smile mixed with chewy tension at the corners of her mouth.

“From now on, I will execute the arrogant King of Death.”

With those words, she planted her greatsword in the ground and brought her hands together in prayer.

The Black Sun floating in the sky disappeared and began to be absorbed into her body.

Her human skin burned as black flames replaced her flesh.

Black flames blazed as if her entire body had become the Black Sun.

The aura she gave off was clearly different from before.

[She’s insane, was she planning to make even a mid-tier god descend?]

“Why?”

[She absorbed the Black Sun itself and became one with it. Originally, she probably planned to absorb all the Hunters in Seoul, but your arrival must have disrupted her plans.]

“So that thing is the Black Sun itself now?”

[Yes, almost… she’s probably at the level of a lower god now.]

This was the first time Senior called something a lower god.

“Does lower god mean ascending to the Divine Throne?”

[No, it doesn’t. It refers to those who have just ascended to Divine Rank through their own cultivation. Though there are corrupted methods like that too.]

So that’s what a lower god is.

I calmly stroked Desperado.

The black death that showed no fear even before a god wrapped around my hand as if it would stay with me forever.

“Yes, that’s how it should be.”

I closed my eyes and calmly drew in my breath.

Cool death expanded my diaphragm and awakened a chilling sensation in my lungs.

“I’m going all out.”

[Ho, though incomplete, you think you can face the current me, a mere human like yourself?]

I grabbed the rear and swung my scythe.

Naturally, the Black Sun dodged the scythe and spewed flames toward me.

A shield created within the Black Fortress blocked it.

“You don’t understand what it means to control life and death.”

[Do you think such mortal logic will work on a god?]

“It works, it works very well.”

Didn’t Senior say so?

That it’s a power that kills even gods.

That’s why the other Monarchs fear him.

“Watch closely, this is my path of supremacy – Hegemony.”

The death force pulled to its limit burst forth.

Black energy spread with the momentum to kill the world, feeding into the Black Fortress and covering all of Seoul.

The remaining stragglers were all pierced by chains and died, leaving truly only Hestia and me in this space.

My anger doesn’t subside.

It wasn’t even a frontal confrontation, and the fact that she tried to destroy my most precious things made me indescribably furious.

Chains and Grim Reapers begin rushing forth like mad.

Three thousand chains poured out to pierce through that bastard.

Black skulls and skull-headed Grim Reapers in black robes rushed forth to reap lives.

But Hestia instead burned the flames from her body even stronger, then easily burned away all enemies approaching her.

Then, as if playtime was over, she created a greatsword with black flames burning from her hand and charged at me.

In an instant, I half-predicted and defended against the charge that seemed to reverse causality.

Kwaaaaang-!

My tongue clicked involuntarily at my body being pushed back magnificently.

I finally realized what it meant to face the Black Sun.

That thing isn’t just some simple Black Sun.

It’s a flame of despair created from the souls of countless people.

Even with my current abilities, I couldn’t easily imagine how much death was contained within it.

“Crazy bastard….”

[Do you want to kneel now that it’s come to this?]

Clang-! Kagagagak-!

The momentum of the rushing greatsword becomes even faster.

Under the intense fierce attack that was hard to believe came from a greatsword, even I began to be pushed back step by step.

My eyes move rapidly.

Thoughts to overcome this situation continue endlessly.

I will not consider defeat.

I burned all the souls I had gathered in Soul Vessel.

With the power that strengthened in an instant, I barely managed to match him and was no longer being pushed back.

Seeing this, Hestia widened her eyes and laughed disgustingly.

[You’re truly no different from a monster, to be able to become even stronger from there.]

“….”

I split Desperado with my blade and forged the death force within Black Fortress into a blade.

Thousands of blade storms began to scatter according to my will.

The sword currents that flew to tear apart Hestia’s body disappeared, extinguished by flames the moment they touched her body.

She laughed as if enjoying herself while avoiding only the fragments of real Desperado that were mixed in.

[Considering the damage our Black Sun has suffered because of you, I want to tear you apart and kill you right now but….]

A smile deepens at the corners of her mouth.

It’s disgusting beyond measure, as if she’s already secured victory.

[I’ll play with you as painfully as possible, then tear off your comrades’ limbs in front of you….]

Crack-!

Before she could finish speaking, Hunter Baek Do-hyeon who had entered Black Fortress launched an ice spear aiming for the back of her head.

It was an amazing surprise attack, but the ice spear melted and disappeared before it could even touch her head.

“Tch.”

[…There was a bug here.]

The moment Hestia turned her attention to Baek Do-hyeon, I immediately changed Desperado into a bow and shot arrows like crazy.

Each arrow contained death, and even these burned up as soon as they touched her body.

On the surface it seemed like they disappeared as soon as they touched her body, but they were steadily accumulating damage.

As evidence, each time she was hit by arrows, the flames on her body were gradually subsiding.

But Hestia seemed to notice this too, soon clicking her tongue and showing off by making the flames on her body even bigger.

Then she created thousands of spears made of black flames in the sky and began an omnidirectional attack.

[Let’s see you handle this too!]

Not to be outdone, I created a dance of Black Spears from the ground and shot down all the incoming spears.

Since this was within the unique domain called Black Fortress, such high-level usage was also possible.

[Persistent!]

“At least until I kill you, I’ll persistently follow you for life.”

When I shot down all the spears, Hestia’s annoyed gaze turned toward me.

[I acknowledge it, that Lady’s judgment was arrogant.]

The Black Sun begins to rise again.

But now that feeling is clearly different.

That is a domain proclaimed by a god.

[Sanctuary declaration.]

The Black Sun begins to absorb my Soul Vessel.

[From now on, I declare this place as my sanctuary. I will break the will of all things that oppose the lesser god Hestia.]

I could feel myself weakening in real time.

Now I can no longer drag out time.

Since this was such a hastily prepared battle, the consumption of death force was extreme.

Even right now, my power was being stolen at an insane speed.

Honestly speaking, I’m in terrible shape.

But that’s why I steeled my heart even more.

I only have one chance in my grasp.

Desperado, which had returned to a scythe, spun around and was caught in my hand.

Holding the scythe, I walked step by step and stood before her.

Before this transcendent being who could no longer be called human, I stirred the death that was not yet finished.

Hestia glanced at my death force and snickered.

She was glaring at me as if she had already secured victory and asking what I could possibly do.

[Your eyes still haven’t died.]

“….”

[How about it? If you become Lady’s concubine even now, I’ll cherish you every night.]

Why do all these bastards start harassing once they gain the upper hand?

I felt like I might retch from disgust, but I need to concentrate.

What I need to do now is an unprecedented feat.

I squeezed out the last remaining strength from my life force.

All Soul Vessels gathered in the scythe as destructive power layered upon Desperado.

The compressed and condensed scythe trembled violently.

Enduring any more than this would be difficult even for me.

But I must succeed.

If I fail, all my comrades including myself will die.

That’s why I become stronger.

I can do this.

I can pull through.

I am a Monarch.

A Monarch must show through actions, not words.

So I will show through my actions.

Silence came to the trembling Desperado.

The final Grim Reaper’s dance reached some realm.

In that moment, a character was erased from my forearm.

{Just this once, amusing little one.}

With those words, explosive power suddenly began to surge.

That power was so intense that Hestia’s eyes widened as if they would tear. She tried to grab my collar with her crude grip.

But it was already too late.

The Grim Reaper’s dance that had reached that realm easily evaded her grasp.

Now all that remained was to manifest this explosive power as is.

“You should have aimed for the neck.”

Desperado roars and explodes.

Death, the greatest death in the universe that kills even gods, stretches itself.

Death, surprised to see me still a young Monarch, nonetheless lent me its power.

Go forth, death.

Death that will devour everything.

Death that will kill even that sun.

Give me your power, bestow death upon my enemies.

Victorious rest for me, the death of defeat for my enemies.

The resolve of despair into the joy of victory.

“I have cut.”

A massive death slash cut through the Black Sun.

It cut through the sanctuary unfolded by a god.

The massive Black Sun split diagonally and slid down at an angle.

Simultaneously, Hestia’s body, which had declared the sanctuary, began to crumble.

[No… no, why… how could you…!]

I stepped into the Realm of Death where logic was unnecessary.

The black crown shone as the cloak fluttered.

Epaulettes appeared on my shoulders as black flames began blazing like wings at my heels.

“Do not define me with your petty logic.”

Further combat was meaningless.

Like an executioner beheading a condemned prisoner, I glared at Hestia and clenched my fist tight.

The new skill I had carved during battle, the Brand, activated as her body burst apart.

Violent death claimed the life of the lesser god who had been rampaging.

With the experience points flooding in madly, the world stopped for a moment.

A cascade of System Messages poured down, and shortly after, I lost consciousness.
