Chapter 55

 

#Chapter 55

 

Of all things, the Black Sun in Karnaq.

 

What kind of twist of fate is this?

 

The woman who appeared by tearing through dimensions held a curved dagger in her hand.

 

She wore the characteristic revealing clothing of desert regions, with exposed skin that didn’t seem suitable for combat.

 

To assess how the situation was unfolding, I took a step back for now.

 

From the power I could sense, that woman was also quite formidable.

 

If those two joined forces, I couldn’t guarantee my companions’ lives.

 

“As expected, the former owner of the left seat is of a different caliber.”

 

“…Do you know me?”

 

“Please don’t be so hostile, Lord of Souls. I haven’t come to fight you.”

 

She put away her weapon and showed her empty hands.

 

As if she truly had no intention of fighting, she voluntarily suppressed her fighting spirit and cautiously approached me.

 

“Come any closer and I’ll kill you.”

 

The death energy rippling across the ground growled as if it would devour her at any moment.

 

The woman who had been showing composure flinched for a moment, then stepped back.

 

“…Then, I’ll speak from here.”

 

Politely clasping her hands together, she bowed her head to me.

 

“I am Vera, a priestess serving the Black Sun.”

 

Slowly raising her head to check my expression, she then glared at Karnack sitting on the distant throne and spoke.

 

“I have been dispatched to retrieve the fallen sun.”

 

From her words about the “fallen sun,” it seemed Vera already knew what kind of being Karnack was.

 

“Since the Monarch seems to share the same purpose, how about joining me in subjugating Karnack?”

 

“Join you, you say…”

 

At first glance, she appeared to be bowing politely, but my eyes were seeing something different.

 

I gathered death energy in my hand blade and swung it lightly.

 

The veil behind Vera was swept away, revealing the assassins hidden behind it.

 

“…”

 

Vera gave a bitter smile.

 

Since she didn’t seem particularly flustered, she had apparently expected me to notice to some extent.

 

It felt like she was testing me, which made me even more displeased.

 

And what made me feel even more disgusted was something else entirely.

 

Death energy began to surge through Desperado.

 

Overwhelming power incomparable to when I cut through the sandstorm was loaded into Desperado.

 

Vera’s expression remained calm.

 

There was even a subtle mockery mixed in, as if daring me to try if I could.

 

“How arrogant.”

 

Without a moment’s hesitation, I cut down the black sun floating in the sky.

 

The sun that had been burning with black flames split in half and crumbled to dust before disappearing.

 

“Oh… my…”

 

“Huh…!?”

 

“The… Black Sun…”

 

“How could this happen…!?”

 

The astonished followers of the Black Sun were shocked speechless.

 

Of course, that wasn’t my concern, so I placed my scythe at Vera’s throat.

 

“I’d rather bite my tongue and die than join forces with the trash that killed my companions.”

 

Vera’s expression twisted for the first time at the thick aura of death emanating from Desperado.

 

“Do you think you can get away with this and still live?”

 

Her twisted expression and agitated emotions burst forth.

 

It was like a puppy that didn’t know to fear a tiger, so I couldn’t help but laugh.

 

“For someone like Karnack, they would have sent their elite, and when that elite’s sun was destroyed without putting up any fight.”

 

The scythe came closer, cutting Vera’s hair.

 

“Are you really trying to threaten me with that pathetic level of power?”

 

There’s no need to hold back anymore.

 

As the scythe came close enough to touch her cheek, Vera’s arms trembled.

 

Though she was forcing herself to appear calm, I could clearly see her soul was terrified.

 

“I don’t mind killing all of you and then settling things with Karnack.”

 

The death energy I released with my toes pierced through the sand and stopped exactly one centimeter from the vital points of the enemies behind Vera.

 

Since there was no hesitation in that action, the faces of the assassins who had been hostile toward me turned pale.

 

Vera bit her lip and glared at me as she spoke.

 

“If you’re so confident, then try killing…”

 

“Ow!”

 

Thunk-!

 

Her words were followed by a dagger piercing through the heart of an assassin who had been trying to throw a blade from behind.

 

Karnack’s eyes widened, then he clapped his hands as if satisfied.

 

“You seem to be under some misunderstanding, but I simply didn’t want to waste my strength on vermin like you.”

 

Thunk-!

 

A killing intent pierced the throat of the second assassin who was gripping a bomb in his pocket, killing him instantly.

 

‘Are they trying to kill people even in this situation?’

 

Perhaps those bastards were killing machines created from birth solely to murder people.

 

Even now, there was one gripping a wire in his chest, and another trying to activate magic stored in his dagger.

 

And so I killed the third and fourth assassins.

 

Vera’s body began trembling visibly now.

 

“From now on, I’ll kill twice as many.”

 

The moment one finger became two.

 

“To the great Monarch… I wish to offer words of apology…”

 

Finally, Vera fell to her knees.

 

She abandoned all her weapons and buried her head in the ground.

 

Her eyes, nose, and mouth were all buried in the sand, looking so wretched it seemed pitiful, but I felt no emotion whatsoever.

 

I looked down at them for a moment with eyes devoid of any feeling.

 

“This generation’s Lord of Souls is far too soft!”

 

An earth dragon erupted from where the Black Sun members had been.

 

The earth dragon with its massive, seemingly endless body swallowed all the enemies whole.

 

Crunch! Crack! Snap!

 

“Even if the Monarch forgave you, did you think I would forgive you!”

 

With disgusting sounds that violated the ears, all those humans were mercilessly torn apart by the earth dragon’s countless teeth.

 

Unfortunately, they were bound by my killing intent and couldn’t even attempt proper resistance before being ruthlessly devoured.

 

Crunch! Gulp-!

 

With the sound of its throat moving, the earth dragon’s gaze turned toward us.

 

Its eyes were those of a true demon, mixed with greed, anger, and slight irritation.

 

And most importantly, the sun-shaped mark carved on its head was sending power to Karnack as it devoured people.

 

“…Now I understand why all the Deathworms withered and died.”

 

The earth dragon’s condition wasn’t much different.

 

That was because all the power from everything it devoured was being absorbed by Karnack over there.

 

The earth dragon would never feel full no matter how much it ate, so it would hunt prey at an even more frenzied pace, which would further accelerate Karnack’s recovery.

 

“No wonder he seemed fine for someone who got beaten by Senior.”

 

It wasn’t because of monstrous recovery abilities.

 

That damn earth dragon had simply healed him completely.

 

Crack!

 

Thinking about it made irritation surge within me.

 

“Please handle that earth dragon, everyone. I’ll deal with Karnack.”

 

“Understood.”

 

As I left my companions behind, Karnack smiled with a fishy grin.

 

“Oh? Are you saying you’ll face me alone right now?”

 

“It’s enough, more than enough actually.”

 

Though I spoke this way, the power I felt from Karnack was definitely something that transcended humanity.

 

If I had to measure our strength, he would probably be about 20% stronger than me.

 

But this isn’t a computer game, this is reality where countless variables exist.

 

Victory and defeat can never be determined by strength alone.

 

Killing intent began to boil up.

 

Dense murderous intent and death solely for killing Karnack began filling the air.

 

“Kuhaha… That power that seized the current Divine Seat… No matter how many times I see it, it’s a monstrous force.”

 

Karnack laughed with a fishy smile.

 

As if he had no intention of fighting right away, he stretched out his hand and gave orders to the demon army.

 

“Kill the Monarch! I will grant great rewards to whoever decorates his final moments!”

 

With those words, armored demons began charging at me as if they were real soldiers.

 

Rather than simple movements, attacks mixed with discipline and tactical skill poured down.

 

“Using such pathetic tricks that won’t even work…”

 

But this much couldn’t kill me.

 

Without using any special power, I deflected all attacks head-on.

 

When I struck the ground with killing intent, a massive sand tsunami was created that swallowed the enemies.

 

My speed began accelerating as I advanced across the sand.

 

The scythe I swung took enemies’ heads and scattered the aura of death.

 

Like a reaper on the battlefield, I mercilessly killed enemies while breaking through in a straight line.

 

I could see the distance between Karnack and me gradually closing.

 

I could see those red eyes that had tried to kill me.

 

Those eyes that once shone brilliantly like the sun had now faded in color, holding only greedy red hues.

 

Enemies were mercilessly swept away by the scythe I swung with all my might.

 

A massive hole was torn through the battlefield, and for a moment even the frightened enemies hesitated to approach me.

 

Death force has no limits.

 

It accelerates thought and shapes imagination into reality.

 

The sound of my pounding heart echoed in my ears.

 

Two energies forged from death force began rotating like drills before me.

 

Simply charging toward him was enough to tear apart the limbs of enemies in front.

 

Only the brutally shredded corpses of demons lay scattered along the path I had taken.

 

Death Dancer and my heated legs were crying out in triumph, as if urging me to kill him right now.

 

Kicking off the ground and leaping up, I finally saw Karnack in view.

 

He too must have thought such demons couldn’t stop me, as he held a thorned sword in his hand.

 

A sun that had lost its light was decorated on the blade.

 

The sword that once channeled the brilliant power of the sun now flowed with ominous red magic.

 

“Sorry to keep you waiting so long!”

 

“You monster… someone even worse than the previous Monarch has appeared!”

 

Kwaaaaang-!

 

Karnack’s sword and my Desperado clashed.

 

The surrounding sand exploded from the collision where neither side could claim superiority.

 

Without either taking the initiative, we clashed again.

 

Karnack’s sword, which had charged across the earth’s axis, aimed for my left eye.

 

Without dodging, I transformed into a shield and instead rushed toward him.

 

“Where do you think you’re going!”

 

A red storm erupted from Karnack’s sword, instantly creating distance between us.

 

I transformed into a bow without the slightest error and rained attacks on Karnack.

 

After deflecting all the black arrows pouring down like heavy rain, he gripped his sword fiercely with both hands.

 

“What is mine, I shall reclaim.”

 

Then all the demons waiting on the battlefield lost their light and were absorbed into Karnack.

 

It seemed like power he had originally scattered, but there wasn’t much change in his strength.

 

The sword that closed distance again aimed for my Achilles tendon.

 

When I lifted my left foot to step on and break the sword, he unconventionally gripped it vertically and struck upward.

 

Instead, I leaped up using the sword as a foothold and struck his crown with my elbow.

 

“Kheup-!”

 

As Karnack clutched his head momentarily, I transformed Desperado into a dagger and tried to thrust it into his heart.

 

Kaang-!

 

Karnack forcibly dislocated his shoulder blade and blocked my attack in a grotesque posture, then gasped for breath while creating distance.

 

“How… how did you grow so much in such a short time!”

 

“Stop stalling for time.”

 

Death swirled around my feet as Death Dancer activated again.

 

What I moved to with Death Dancer wasn’t behind him or above him.

 

I covered my body with death force and moved into the sand.

 

Bursting out from there, I aimed my spear at Karnack’s groin with all my might, but he jumped up lightly as if he had anticipated it, dodging my attack.

 

“Whew… you monster… I definitely can’t win easily.”

 

He clicked his tongue and gripped his sword with one hand.

 

“I didn’t want to show this so soon…”

 

Then he raised his sword toward the sky with all his might.

 

The red power within Karnack’s body began surging up like mad.

 

The red power shot into the sky distorted the dark night.

 

The night sky shattered with a crash like breaking glass.

 

“…The Wisdom Lord’s words can’t be trusted.”

 

A red burning sun rose in the cloudless blue sky.
