Episode 42

 

#Episode 42

 

The power of death.

 

I formed a protective barrier to guard my companions with the power of death .

 

The cross that had been embedded in the ground melted away, and my wounded companions began to heal.

 

My companions, who had been worried about me, widened their eyes at this qualitatively different power.

 

My summons and I are connected.

 

As I grow stronger, my summons also become stronger accordingly.

 

Right now, my companions were feeling my power most directly.

 

“Hy… Hyun-soo…!”

 

“It’s okay, so rest well.”

 

Kim Yeo-ul, with tears welling up in her eyes, looked at me and nodded.

 

Now it was my turn to protect the things precious to me.

 

The massive blood spears decorating the sky turned toward me.

 

Arc, breathing roughly as if tense, glared at me with bloodshot eyes.

 

The Black Sun wavered, and bloodlust that seemed ready to kill me at any moment pervaded the battlefield.

 

What a truly pathetic thing.

 

While possessing such power, why had I been afraid of merely that kind of bastard?

 

“Die-!”

 

The blood spears filling the heavens poured down toward me like a torrential rain.

 

I could feel Desperado sneering.

 

Swish-!

 

I cut down the first blood spear.

 

The massive blood spear split in half and turned to powder.

 

The second blood spear, the third, the fourth – nothing changed.

 

About thirty blood spears turned to powder and disappeared without leaving even a small scratch.

 

However, countless blood spears still remained in the sky, glaring at me with sinister killing intent.

 

The fact that those worthless things dared to target me was extremely irritating.

 

Was this the heart of a lord?

 

The lowly movements of the insignificant Bloodsuckers were terribly annoying.

 

Death power gathered in Desperado.

 

The death gathered on the blade scattered black reverberations.

 

As soon as the bloodlust thickly spread across the ground met the reverberations of death, it collapsed and disappeared without even putting up a fight.

 

I gripped the scythe with both hands and swung it wide.

 

A thick black line was drawn across the sky.

 

Death roared.

 

The blood spears that had filled my vision instantly scattered and all disappeared.

 

Arc was glaring at me with eyes full of bewilderment.

 

I could feel fear slowly rising in the eyes of the bastard who had been full of confidence and bloodlust.

 

But I had absolutely no intention of killing him obediently.

 

“That thing is also annoying…”

 

I changed the scythe into a bow and drew the string.

 

Twice as much death power as before was converted into an arrow, and black flames began to blaze.

 

Twang-!

 

The string drawn to its limit snapped back, and the black arrow tore through the air as it charged forward.

 

The extremely tense Arc spread a red curtain, but my target wasn’t some frightened bat.

 

Crack! Craaack!

 

The arrow imbued with death struck the Black Sun.

 

The Black Sun, which seemed to endure for a moment, ultimately couldn’t withstand the arrow’s power and was pierced through.

 

A massive hole was bored through the Black Sun, and the black despair it had been spreading on the ground completely died away.

 

As the Black Sun collapsed, it too turned to ash and disappeared.

 

In Seoul City, which had only spewed black and murky despair, a blue moon rose after a long time.

 

From a place where not a single cloud remained, the blue moon coldly illuminated the ground.

 

That blue light was as pure as if it were purifying the polluted earth.

 

Arc’s expression was colored with shock, as if he hadn’t expected the Black Sun to be destroyed.

 

The sight of this axis of evil, who had acted so viciously, trembling with fear was quite satisfying.

 

I lightly stamped my foot and used Death God’s Dance.

 

In the blink of an eye, I arrived in front of Arc and stared at him intently.

 

A blood spear that immediately appeared aimed for the space between my eyebrows.

 

I grabbed the flying spear with my hand and crushed it.

 

The spear, which broke as easily as candy, lost its power and turned to powder before disappearing.

 

“Get lost! How dare you, knowing who I am…! Knowing who I made a contract with, how dare you act like this…!”

 

I cut off Arc’s two arms.

 

Since I cut his arms with simple physical force without imbuing death power, his arms quickly regenerated.

 

Perhaps gaining hope from seeing his regenerating body, he looked at me and shouted.

 

“Such a simple attack like this would work on me…!”

 

“I know, it probably won’t.”

 

This time I cut off both legs.

 

“Kyaaaaaaah!”

 

Screaming in agony, Arc’s legs regenerated.

 

This time I took his left eye.

 

Arc’s body trembled violently from the pain of having his eye plucked out while still alive.

 

This monster easily regenerated even when his entire eyeball was torn out.

 

I could feel his breathing becoming rough as bloody tears flowed.

 

This time I cut off all his limbs.

 

Unable to resist even once, he crashed to the ground having lost all his limbs.

 

I noticed that regeneration was gradually slowing due to the continuously accumulated wounds.

 

“I’m glad you can still feel pain.”

 

“Ple… please, spare me… Kweaek!”

 

I grabbed the neck of Arc who was trying to flee in terror.

 

How many people must have died to those greedy red eyes of his.

 

“You were originally human too, weren’t you.”

 

“Kheuheubeup…!”

 

Blood began leaking from Arc’s mouth.

 

To think a so-called lord would be foaming at the mouth in terror.

 

Pathetic and disgusting.

 

Since I no longer felt he was worth talking to, I grabbed him by the collar and moved toward my companions.

 

First, I re-summoned Seo Iram and stood before my companions.

 

“Watch closely.”

 

With all my companions watching, I placed the scythe against his neck.

 

The crotch of the half-unconscious Arc became soaked wet.

 

Though it was a cruel sight, no one grimaced.

 

Rather, everyone was straining their eyes to witness the final moments of that terrible monster.

 

Desperado, which had only been using simple physical force, began to be imbued with deadly power.

 

Arc trembled madly at this power of a different dimension.

 

Like an executioner, I placed the scythe against Arc’s neck.

 

There was no more resistance.

 

“Die.”

 

The scythe imbued with deadly power cut Arc’s neck.

 

Slash-!

 

Black flames flickered on the cleanly cut surface.

 

At the same time, the world suddenly seemed to stop as time began flowing slowly.

 

Along with System Messages praising me, a massive amount of experience and several rewards came in.

 

I reached level 70 in an instant and gained one new skill.

 

‘This is quite useful.’

 

I was already getting a headache thinking about how to fix this ruined country, but this seems like it will be a great help.

 

‘The skill is good, now for the reward… what will they give me.’

 

While waiting for the reward, the lord’s fragment mentioned earlier was placed in my hand first.

 

The System Message disappeared and a box made of platinum was held in my hand.

 

Fortunately, the box could be opened easily without any locking mechanism.

 

“What’s this now?”

 

Inside was a red fragment.

 

It looked like a piece of gemstone, and I could feel an irresistible power from it.

 

When I carefully took the fragment out of the box, a System Message appeared.

 

‘Fragment…?’

 

No other explanation was written, but I could easily understand that I needed to create that proof.

 

It seems I can obtain these fragments by dealing with other lords.

 

“Hmm, quite interesting…”

 

When I carefully took the fragment out of the box, it began emitting a blood-red light.

 

The fragment floated up, trembled briefly, then was absorbed directly into my heart.

 

‘So this is how it gets absorbed?’

 

It felt like a corner of my chest that I didn’t even know existed had been filled.

 

Since that feeling wasn’t too bad, just as I was about to savor this emotion for a moment, a System Message shook me as if it wasn’t over yet.

 

After a brief wait, what appeared before me was a gem so transparent you could see through to the other side.

 

With its completely empty color, I wondered what it was, but the System Message that soon appeared kindly explained.

 

‘Oho…’

 

The moment I saw this, my gaze turned to Seo Iram.

 

I had just been thinking that we needed a proper healer after this battle.

 

‘I was wondering if I should go to the Vatican to meet a saint or something, but this solves it nicely.’

 

As I reached out and grasped the enhancement stone in my hand, the stopped time began to flow again.

 

“Is… is it really dead?”

 

“To defeat that monster so easily…”

 

Belatedly, I heard my companions’ voices.

 

I put away Desperado and approached my companions again.

 

“Is everyone okay? No injuries?”

 

Fortunately, thanks to directly injecting life force into their bodies, all my companions’ wounds had been healed.

 

Jinu, whom I was most worried about, seemed to have several broken bones, but there were no visible external injuries.

 

“I’m a bit uncomfortable… but it should get better with time.”

 

“Huh? Iram didn’t make a contract with you?”

 

At my question, Jinu’s face turned red and he answered in a crawling voice.

 

“I told her not to do it.”

 

“Hmm? Why?”

 

At my question, Jinu, who had been glancing at Seo Iram, let out a deep sigh.

 

“I didn’t want my companion to get hurt and suffer in my place…”

 

“Hmm…”

 

The other companions are summons so it doesn’t matter, but Jinu is still human.

 

For Jinu, who can’t share this sensation, it seems he can’t easily accept it.

 

“Then this worked out perfectly.”

 

“Pardon?”

 

I held the enhancement stone and looked at Seo Iram.

 

“From now on, ask Iram to heal you.”

 

I don’t know how this enhancement stone will change Seo Iram.

 

But since it’s called an enhancement stone, it should change her in a positive direction.

 

“I use it.”

 

The enhancement stone gradually grew in size and enveloped Seo Iram within it.

 

Colors burst forth like adding paint to water and settled into the enhancement stone.

 

All kinds of colors from Seo Iram moved chaotically.

 

Even while trapped inside the enhancement stone, Seo Iram blinked her eyes as if nothing was wrong.

 

And after a moment.

 

The enhancement stone began to refine Seo Iram’s colors.

 

As if finding the color that suited Seo Iram best, all kinds of colors were woven together and erased.

 

And the color that remained at the end was.

 

“Gray?”

 

“It’s… gray.”

 

“Why is hers such a dreary color.”

 

“She’s a child with a dark past…”

 

All colors disappeared and the refined gray began to be absorbed into Seo Iram.

 

Her black hair changed to gray and her pitch-black eyes faded.

 

Her rough skin gained luster and her hair became silky.

 

Her disheveled clothes changed color and even their form completely changed, mixed with light.

 

Only after all the gray scattered around was absorbed into Iram did the enhancement stone quietly disappear.

 

After that entire process ended, Seo Iram slowly opened her eyes.

 

Seo Iram’s eyes, now wearing nun’s robes and exuding a noble atmosphere, met mine.

 

“Eh? A saint?”

 

“A, a saint?!”

 

“Really?! Does that mean our Iram became a saint?!”

 

Behind my companions’ commotion, Seo Iram walked toward me step by step, then collapsed into my arms.

 

Seo Iram’s clearly changed appearance was even pitiful, but.

 

“…Oppa, I’m hungry.”

 

Grumble.

 

“…It’s definitely our kid.”

 

“Puhaha!”

 

“Did you give birth to her?!”

 

Hearing the words coming from her mouth, it was definitely Seo Iram.
