Episode 47
#Episode 47
The black magic circle covering the heavens began to emit immeasurable destructive power.
“What kind of insane formula is this magic circle… This brute…!”
“I don’t have such elegant skills like someone else.”
The magic created with only destructive power in mind finished its startup preparations and displayed its solemn might.
The magic circle rotated, and the massive boulder within it began falling toward the ground.
At a level that was too much to even call a meteor.
Literally a brutish and overwhelming mass weapon.
A giant mountain fell upon her and her castle.
No matter how large it was, I thought she would surely dodge it, but Han Bingrong clicked her tongue and immediately deployed magic to counter it.
She opened her mouth toward the sky and deployed a magic circle to counter mine.
The breath shot from her mouth flew through the magic circle, its output strengthened several times over.
The breath that met it head-on froze the great mountain.
And the ice spears that followed shattered that massive mountain into pieces that scattered around.
Kwaaaaang-!
Even shattered, the huge fragments fell around the castle, crushing countless buildings.
‘Hmm…?’
Wasn’t she trying to protect the city?
Instead, the damage to the surroundings became even greater.
Even though dozens of houses had collapsed, Han Bingrong seemed rather relieved.
She didn’t care whether other places were destroyed or not, only protecting the castle…
I gripped Desperado transformed into a scythe and drew a diagonal line toward her castle, not Han Bingrong herself.
Immediately, a startled Han Bingrong blocked my path and directly swung her claws to deflect my attack.
I could tell for certain from that.
‘There’s something in the castle’s dungeon.’
And if she would step forward directly to block it like that, there must be something quite critical there.
At my wicked smile, Han Bingrong bared her teeth for the first time, looking greatly displeased.
“Damn bastard… A newly awakened lord crawling up without knowing his place.”
“Do you think a lord would act while watching others’ reactions, as you say?”
I changed the scythe to dual swords and infused death power into each blade.
I swung the swords gracefully and lightly, drawing crescents.
Countless amounts of sword energy began flying toward Han Bingrong’s castle.
“Cowardly bastard…”
Han Bingrong, her face contorted with anger, deployed a massive barrier around the castle.
The blue barrier was transparent enough to see through clearly, but its strength far exceeded that of Kang Cheol-u’s.
All the sword energy I sent was blocked, unable to leave even the smallest scratch.
Of course, that didn’t mean it couldn’t be broken through.
“Die torn apart.”
Judging that just defending like this was disadvantageous, Han Bingrong launched a preemptive strike.
Ice fragments that filled my vision swept in like a storm.
Wherever the fragments moving according to her will grazed, everything turned to powder and disappeared.
Like tens of thousands of blades rushing in, the sharp energy contained in each one raged as if it would tear my body apart at any moment.
I spread my death power like a cloth and devoured all the flying fragments.
The fragments that had been raging within the death power soon lost their strength and vanished.
I absorbed their power as my own without any loss.
The battle had gone on longer than I expected.
It wasn’t just boasting that she was a former lord’s summon rather than a simple S-rank monster – her skills were on par with mine.
Of course, there was a huge difference in that she had a weakness while I had none.
‘I need to pick up the pace a bit.’
I glanced at the soul collection I had accumulated so far.
Even with souls from 10,000 creatures accumulated, it was still far from enough for enhancement.
‘This much should be fine to use a little.’
“I will use a thousand souls.”
With those words, a large number of souls bound in the collection were absorbed.
I felt the surging death power strengthen and roar in an instant.
It was on a different dimension from when I had used soul collection without knowing what I was doing before.
Now I could clearly feel what kind of power I held.
“You… your aura has changed.”
“Yes, now it’s just the beginning, so try to handle this well.”
At my command, Desperado became fully imbued with death power.
Kaang!
Han Bingrong, who had transformed back into human form, blocked my attack with her greatsword.
However, this time she appeared as a more mature adult woman.
“You pesky fly… I won’t let you escape anymore.”
“Try it if you can!”
Desperado and her greatsword clashed several times.
Her greatsword cracked and shattered repeatedly under the definitely heavier attacks.
Unable to create a proper weapon, a one-sided war of attrition continued.
“What trick did you use! How could you grow this much in such a short time… Ugh…!”
As soon as I saw a slight opening, I struck her body along with the greatsword using Desperado transformed into a hammer.
Kwaaaaang-!
“Th… This…!”
Where Han Bingrong flew was onto the protective barrier she had deployed herself.
She tried to dodge somehow, but I had no intention of giving her such leisure.
I accelerated further by stepping on footholds made with all my might.
Death force swirled at the tip of Desperado transformed into a spear.
My target was that thing’s heart.
I gripped the spear shaft with both hands and poured down as if falling.
A choice between having her heart pierced or showing me the castle’s dungeon.
Since nothing was more precious than life, she spread her wings and forcibly evaded my attack.
Unfortunately, only the tip of her wing grazed as I charged straight through.
Kuuuung-!
The barrier didn’t have enough strength to stop my charge, shattering helplessly like breaking glass.
As I destroyed the interior of the castle as well, the underground scene that Han Bingrong had so desperately wanted to hide was revealed.
“Let’s see what you’ve been hiding so preciously…”
I couldn’t finish my words.
A shockingly appalling scene was spread before me.
The first thing I saw was boys sleeping trapped inside giant ice.
They all had beautiful appearances, and surprisingly, I could feel life even within that ice.
It was a horrific sight of them being frozen alive.
Next to them, something that appeared to have been human was tied up.
I could see traces of limbs being cut off and forcibly reattached.
Human bodies were being assembled like toys.
Murderous intent began to boil up.
Sensing Han Bingrong’s presence behind me, I asked.
“…What is this insane bullshit?”
“Haa, I didn’t want humans to find out, but I’ve ended up showing this shameful sight.”
The death force I had released began to surge with a storm of emotions.
The emotions I had suppressed met this disgusting and revolting explosive and became uncontrollably massive.
Han Bingrong didn’t notice my anger and was lost in her own world.
“The Frost King of this generation might not have appeared yet, right? These are the lord candidates I’ve carefully selected.”
Her disgusting and filthy gaze was directed toward the boys trapped inside.
“What about those human pieces in front… what happened to them?”
“Ah? Don’t worry about that, it’s just trash that failed when I tried to create a lord to my taste.”
Disgust.
Cruelty.
Revulsion.
Displeasure.
Rejection.
Hatred.
Malice.
Dark and twisted red emotions intertwined together.
A monster mad with greed, caring nothing for human welfare.
A corrupted life form that didn’t simply end with massacring humans.
“The boy you brought this time also has quite beautiful features. How about it? If you hand that child over to me, I’m even thinking of reducing my territory?”
Han Bingrong was gulping down her drool and blushing.
Looking at the boys she had collected, her body trembled and she flicked out her disgusting tongue.
“Answer quickly, Lady has an impatient personality…”
“Now I clearly understand why the Frost King abandoned you.”
The thought that I would sell out my companion is also disgusting.
Using humans like momentary toys is also disgusting.
But the most fucking thing among all of it was that madness of not knowing it was wrong. It was disgusting enough to make me vomit.
“I’ll use 5,000 souls.”
The souls of corrupt monsters were consumed by my anger.
The death force that had been emanating subtle killing intent lost my control and began to rampage completely.
However, Han Bingrong, far from being frightened, emitted even more powerful cold air.
“The lord abandoned me? Ha! That’s impossible, he’s just too busy looking after the Divine Seat’s welfare for the moment.”
“The previous Lord? Don’t talk nonsense.”
A bitter smile crossed my lips as I glared at Han Bingrong.
“You’re just an abandoned psychopath, you crazy bastard.”
“…Now that I look at you, your feisty nature is quite to this lady’s taste.”
Han Bingrong’s filthy gaze turned toward me as she licked her lips.
“If I cut off your head and hang it up, it would make quite a sight.”
Cold and death clashed.
Since there were still living people remaining here, I kicked off the ground and flew up.
Han Bingrong also flew up as if she had been waiting, beginning to deploy all her power again.
“Since you’re a formidable enemy, I shall use my full strength!”
A frost storm as powerful as her twisted and perverted desires came forth.
The sun that had been illuminating the ground was covered by snow clouds, and violent snow poured down enough to fill the entire field of vision.
Snow poured down so heavily that I couldn’t even secure vision a step ahead.
Instead, I closed my eyes and transformed Desperado into a greatsword.
The frost storm was heavily imbued with Han Bingrong’s magic power.
It felt as if I was buried in enormous magic power, so I couldn’t easily pinpoint her location by simply tracking magic power.
Then I would simply use a more lord-like method.
In the pouring blizzard, what I was targeting was Han Bingrong’s life response.
Before managing death, I am the Lord of Souls.
Naturally, I should be able to sense the soul of such a massive existence like Han Bingrong.
It wasn’t something anyone taught me, but I had confidence that I could naturally do it because I was the Lord of Souls.
Perhaps this was the lord-like quality that Senior had spoken of.
When I concentrated my mind, something blue began to faintly catch my attention.
I refined my spiritual energy and sharpened my senses even more.
The outline of the hazy blue energy became clear, and I could even feel the perverted, murky emotions along with it.
It was in the form of blue flames burning above a black heart.
I began to get used to even the dizzyingly fast movement speed.
An ice spear aimed at my throat came flying.
I swung Desperado to destroy the spear.
When I deflected the attack without even looking, I felt her slight panic.
And she increased her flying speed even more.
As if the previous attack had been a joke, densely packed attacks came flying at my vital points.
I naturally switched to dual wielding and calmly parried the attacks.
I destroyed a spear trying to pierce my temple.
I broke all the arrows simultaneously targeting my temple, eyeball, and nose.
I crushed the thorns trying to pierce my back of the head, crown, and nape, and deflected the strange attacks targeting my carotid artery, solar plexus, and Achilles tendon with all my might.
Just how many humans had she killed that saw-like sharp weapons skillfully flew even at my kidneys, lower abdomen, and hip bones.
Attacks truly meant to kill humans poured down.
And I defended against all the flying attacks without moving a single step.
Han Bingrong’s emotions began to be colored with shock.
I could feel her becoming reluctant to even launch attacks.
Death filled my body.
I deployed the grim reaper’s steps that completely blocked sound and presence.
“What…!?”
“I’ve seen enough of your petty tricks.”
Stab-!
A lightning-fast thrust penetrated Han Bingrong’s heart.
And I changed the penetrating sword into a scythe.
“W… wait!!”
“Repent while remembering the humans you killed.”
When I gripped the scythe vertically and pulled it out forcefully, Han Bingrong’s head split in half.
She wasn’t a monster that could survive with a hole in her heart and her head split, as experience points flowed in shortly after.
“Huh…?”
However, it wasn’t just experience points that flowed in.
Blue energy that burst from Han Bingrong’s heart swallowed me up.
