808.
‘What? What is this?’
Nix’s eyes were filled with confusion.
‘Is this truly a mortal?’
He couldn’t tell how much time had passed since being devoured by the Calamity Flame.
After being absorbed by Erebos, Nix hadn’t even possessed consciousness.
But for some reason, his consciousness as the Frozen Realm of Death had awakened.
The fall of the Calamity Flame.
That was an opportunity for the Frozen Realm of Death.
A golden opportunity to once again make the world eternally immortal.
He could now fulfill the wish he desired.
The world he saw after regaining consciousness had changed.
Blasphemously, the residents of the Lower Realm had forgotten God’s grace.
It was necessary to remind the ignorant Lower Realm residents once more.
Who their master was.
That’s how it should have been…
Flash-!
Golden lines embroidered before his eyes.
Craaaaaack-!
The absolutely unmelting ice turned to powder and scattered.
Thud-!
Kar struck the ground.
Moving at unimaginable speed, Kar’s sword embroidered the void.
Then Kar’s sword filled the spaces where ice would extend first.
Nix’s face hardened stiffly.
‘Future sight? Impossible! That’s literally the domain of gods!’
How had the world changed for such a monster to exist as a mortal?
Slash-!
Kar’s sword slashed through Nix’s body.
“How dare a filthy beast!”
Nix’s rage whirled.
Thud-!
“Huff- Huff-“
Kar, who landed on the ground, breathed heavily.
No matter how freely he could use his super senses, maintaining them at their peak consumed enormous mental power.
Additionally, digesting the information transmitted through his super senses and moving his body consumed unimaginable stamina.
An area that even Leo, who handled super senses second best after Kar, wouldn’t dare attempt.
It was literally a fight in a domain only possible for Kar, who possessed overwhelming technique and stamina worthy of being called a martial god.
But…
‘I still can’t defeat him alone.’
At best, he could only hold Nix back.
If Ajonia’s teachers and students hadn’t fought hard against Styx’s legion, he wouldn’t have been able to endure.
Kar stared down at his own hands.
In this urgent situation, someone’s image flashed through his mind.
‘Valhar.’
The Divine Blacksmith, Dweno’s reincarnation and trustworthy advisor.
He recalled Valhar’s appearance he had seen before.
His improved form compared to his previous life.
He could immediately tell that Valhar’s flame was the fruit of his anguish and efforts to move forward after reincarnation.
When Rea saw that flame, she was shocked, but Kar simply admired it as amazing.
‘I… was complacent.’
He had resolved to completely defeat Erebos this time for Kail’s sake.
But he himself hadn’t changed from his previous life.
He had merely been walking in place.
‘Pathetic.’
Perhaps he had been more intoxicated by the unprecedented peace than anyone else.
The hero Arron had lived a life never experiencing peace even once.
His innate super senses always kept Arron terrified, forcing him to live a life more intimately connected with fear than others.
That’s why the peace he felt for the first time captivated Kar even more.
But…
‘It’s just an excuse.’
He had never deeply thought about the one who gave him this peace.
That’s why he had been complacent.
‘I… will change.’
Whooooo-!
The aura emanating from Kar’s body was refined.
‘If people of the world call me a hero…’
Kar’s eyes became clear.
‘I won’t be someone unworthy of this title anymore.’
To become a truly courageous person.
‘I’ll become the bravest Suin in the world.’
He would become a hero who could show great courage even without companions.
‘I don’t want to be consumed by fear anymore. To do that…’
Kar and Nix’s eyes met.
‘I’ll kill him.’
Flash-
Kar’s crystallized eyes flashed with clear killing intent.
The moment their eyes met.
Nix felt goosebumps rise.
Killing intent that bound his entire body.
‘Is this killing intent that a Lower Realm resident can emit!’
Dangerous.
The endless potential of the Suin before him made Nix, an immortal being, feel the fear of ‘death.’
‘I must eliminate him here.’
Whooooo-!
The range of cold air Nix emitted expanded further.
At that moment.
Thunk-!
His vision flipped and Nix’s face was colored with horror.
This was on a different dimension from all previous sword strikes.
Before Nix, an evil god, could even perceive it, Kar’s sword had cut through Nix’s neck.
He couldn’t follow a mortal’s sword.
No, he couldn’t even tell if a sword had been swung.
No process existed, only the result.
Nix knew better than anyone what this was.
‘Authority…?’
A phenomenon that occurred without any restrictions when one willed it.
If death existed for him, he would have died just now.
Nix looked at Kar with a bewildered expression.
He too was feeling bewildered by his own sword.
‘Is it unconscious?’
Nyx didn’t know.
Just how much of a coward Kar had been.
That he was such a coward that even until the moment his life was extinguished, he was so terrified by his friends’ deaths that he couldn’t harbor killing intent toward Erebos who had killed him.
That’s why Nyx couldn’t possibly understand just how terrifying it was for someone like him to have ‘killing intent.’
‘I must kill him. By any means necessary!’
Seeing Kar reaching toward the divine realm, Nyx’s sense of urgency reached its peak.
‘I’ll kill them all!’
Nyx’s eyes flashed as cold air was about to explode forth.
Whoooosh-!
Golden flames formed a massive wall.
Craaaaaaash-!
The golden flames disappeared in an instant.
They had lost their power to the overwhelming cold.
And at the center of the Frozen Realm of Death stood a dwarf.
‘To block the Frozen Realm of Death… Why are there so many monsters among the mortals of this era?!’
Nyx grimaced.
But anyway, the dwarf before him was dead.
Frozen like that, there was no way he could survive.
Crack-
“…!”
Crack crack! Rumble-!
“Hmm.”
Valhar, who had broken out of the Frozen Realm of Death, let out a light breath.
“Cold.”
At his plain observation, Nyx’s face was colored with shock.
“How… That should be ice that never melts!”
Seeing the shocked Nyx, Valhar spoke calmly.
“Indeed, this ice resembles the Calamity Flame.”
He had broken through the ice and emerged.
“But you picked the wrong opponent. My flames can resist the Calamity Flame.”
As Valhar opened his palm, golden flames burst forth.
“Ice melts before fire. I don’t know what you are, but you have poor compatibility with me.”
It was exactly as he said.
Dweno’s golden flames were flames that had endured even against the Calamity Flame.
Of course, in the end they were devoured and he lost his life, but the very fact that he could resist was a power close to miraculous.
That’s why he could resist even the Frozen Realm of Death, which had a compatibility advantage.
“By the way.”
Valhar looked at Kar with surprised eyes.
“You have a good expression on your face.”
At Valhar’s words, Kar nodded.
“I won’t hesitate anymore.”
“Good.”
Valhar chuckled and looked at Nyx.
“So? I came because there was a request for support… What exactly is that thing?”
“It seems like a fragment of Erebos. Not Erebos himself though.”
“That’s quite a mysterious story.”
While making a puzzled expression, Valhar summoned his Battle Axe.
Seeing this, Nyx’s face twisted miserably.
‘There’s nothing good about fighting those two monsters.’
Having thought that far, Nyx snapped his fingers.
Along with that, the demons of Styx concealed themselves.
“Are you running away?”
At Valhar’s words, Nyx spat out with a face full of killing intent.
“Next time we meet, I’ll crush you all to death, you lowly insects…”
Thunk-!
“If you’re going to disappear, then disappear. Don’t spout cliché nonsense.”
“I’ll kill you as painfully as possible! Dwarf!”
With the dwarf’s thrown hand axe embedded in his forehead, Nyx revealed his hatred and disappeared.
Seeing this, Valhar crossed his arms and asked.
“So, what exactly was that thing?”
“He introduced himself as an evil god. Said he was the Frozen Realm of Death and his name was Nyx.”
“Frozen Realm of Death… Sounds like a strange name that could be Erebos’s cousin or something.”
“Another evil god… Nyx… Hmm… Where have I heard that before?”
Just moments ago he was simply terrified and thought it was another form of Erebos, but looking back, it seemed like a name he’d heard somewhere.
Kar, who had been pondering, opened his eyes wide.
“Ah! It’s the evil god Kail mentioned!”
“Kail did?”
“Yeah! He said there used to be several evil gods, but Erebos was an existence that devoured all those evil gods. And that evil god broke off from a fragment of Erebos. No wonder! I said I’d heard of it somewhere before.”
“Hmm, I see. So? How did Kail tell you that?”
“Oh no! I was trying to keep it secret!”
Kar covered his mouth.
Seeing Kar like this, Valhar narrowed his eyes.
“I said something was strange since we met Rea… Spill what you’re hiding.”
At those words, Kar opened his mouth.
“Just now the evil god brought a parallel world’s…”
“You’re saying he brought Kail? I see.”
“No, I didn’t finish explaining…?”
“If the story of parallel worlds came from your mouth, then the explanation is finished. I understand.”
“No, I listened to Kail’s full explanation and still didn’t understand, so how does Valhar understand immediately?”
“Well.”
“Well?”
“Aren’t you an idiot?”
At those words, Kar made a tearful face.
