Episode 420

6.
Retracing our steps roughly twenty minutes back in time.
When Helena and Yoo Sung-hyun each used Dimensional Confinement—a Lord’s prerogative—to seal off the stairwells of their respective floors.
Helena murmured while gazing toward where Michael was.
“It seems these outsiders are watching, so I should probably be discreet.”
It would be rather unfortunate to turn a reunion with my child into a spectacle.
I should savor this long-awaited reunion properly.
Helena spoke in a humming tone as she observed the Lord of Abyss trembling before her.
“You haven’t changed, Murakan.”
The Lord of Abyss could only misunderstand as he gazed upon Helena standing before him.
A being equivalent to the mother who created him and gave him birth.
Yet that was impossible.
Helena, the mother of the Lord of Abyss and called the mother of ten thousand demons, was already dead.
He had witnessed it clearly, and afterward she was sealed away by Black Star—there was no doubt.
Murakan, the Lord of Abyss, knew full well that this was impossible, yet fear could not help but surge forth at the sight of her form.
But how did she know his name, and what was that appearance?
The Lord of Abyss could not comprehend it.
Yet one thing was certain.
Kuguguguguguuu———!!!
This was a golden opportunity to slay that woman, whether she was Helena herself or merely a fragment of her.
She was far too different from the Helena he had once feared in the past.
Rather, now was the moment.
Believing this without hesitation, the Lord of Abyss drew forth his power and unleashed the force of the Abyss without restraint.
The Abyss.
Similar to yet distinct from the Chasm.
In dictionary terms, it refers to a desperate situation from which one cannot escape, but conceptually, the Abyss carries the meaning that something falls into it or is difficult to escape from.
And so.
Kwaaaaaaaaaa————!!!
The atmosphere compressed and bore down upon the spot where Helena had been, carving an endlessly deep chasm into the ground.
A chasm so profound it reached toward the Abyss itself opened, and Helena vanished without a trace.
Yet the Lord of Abyss lifted his head.
And he could see it.
Helena gazing down at him with an enchanting smile, parasol in hand.
Though he had certainly unleashed the pressure to compress the surroundings with the Abyss and create that massive chasm.
The Lord of Abyss could not fathom when she had relocated there.
Yet he could not stop here.
He channeled his power once more.
Chains of the Abyss erupted upward, seeking to ensnare Helena.
Chains erupted from the depths of the Great Abyss, hurtling toward Helena, but she laughed with delight and murmured.
“Ahahaha! This is fun, Murakan.”
Dozens, hundreds of chains from the Abyss surged forth, yet not a single one could seize Helena.
Helena glided effortlessly through the gaps between the chains, parasol in hand, still gazing down at the Lord of Abyss.
The Lord of Abyss, Murakan, had been born when I granted consciousness to the Abyss itself—a byproduct of bringing six great evils from the Demon Realm.
Yet somehow, he had stopped obeying me, so I had sealed him within my own body. Or so I remembered.
‘It seems my eldest placed the seal here after I died.’
How unfortunate.
But unfortunate or not, duties must be fulfilled.
I had given him that consciousness.
Therefore.
“I suppose I’ll have to reclaim it myself?”
As Helena spoke with a sinister smile, the Lord of Abyss felt a chill and moved his chains even faster, desperately trying to capture her, but.
Now Helena was beginning to fight in earnest.
She unleashed the power of the Heavens.
“…!!!”
The Lord of Abyss fell silent, his eyes wide as he stared at Helena.
Witnessing Helena’s display of Heavenly power—one of the spoils she had brought from the Heavenly Realm, just as she had from the Demon Realm—the Lord of Abyss gasped in terror and consolidated his chains into a single mass.
He knew all too well what was about to come.
As expected, a Heavenly greatsword flew toward the consolidated chains, a blade far larger than the Abyss itself crashing down upon them.
Screeeeeeech.
A vicious grinding sound of metal being torn echoed out as the Heavenly greatsword pierced halfway through the chains.
Unable to penetrate completely, it shattered into fragments, filling the surroundings with Heavenly radiance.
As the light sparkled and the area grew progressively brighter, the Lord of Abyss ground his teeth.
Watching this, Helena continued to drift through the air, still wearing her black parasol, clearly amused.
Then she spoke to the Lord of Abyss.
“Aren’t you going to attack? Then I will.”
As she spoke, countless Heavenly swords materialized around her in the air.
Seeing these Heavenly blades—smaller than the greatsword from before but no less formidable in power—the Lord of Abyss began to unleash his full strength.
The power of the Abyss surged forth as chains coalesced into thorns that erupted from the depths, while the Heavenly swords rained down like a deluge.
As the Heavenly swords falling from above collided with the thorns of the Abyss, both shattered into fragments, scattering through the air.
Clanggggggggg!!!
They became dust, dispersing their energies around them—the Heavenly radiance glimmering and enveloping the surroundings, while the Abyssal power sank below, seeking to bind and drag everything down.
Yet the Heavenly power did not mingle with the Abyssal force; instead, it purified the Abyss and remained suspended in the air.
To any observer, the Lord of Abyss was at a disadvantage.
But the Lord of Abyss did not yield, instead intensifying his presence and unleashing even greater Abyssal power.
Then things that should never have emerged from the Abyss began to rise forth.
The Lord of Abyss’s subordinates, sealed away in the Abyss, appeared and filled the entire area with countless legions.
Ensnared by the Abyss and rendered helpless, they had become puppets of the Abyss, diving forward to attack.
Not only to drag down those before them, but to pull down all others as well.
Among those wretched creatures consumed by jealousy and reckless audacity, Helena smiled thinly and murmured to herself.
“I told you it was Murakan. I really should clean up all these trash he’s accumulated, shouldn’t I?”
Speaking with such casual indifference, Helena gestured with her hand.
The celestial energies hovering in the void intertwined with Helena’s own celestial essence, and just as before, new beings began to manifest.
The maidens of war from an ancient age when Helena herself had stormed the Heavenly Realm and fought.
Valkyries materialized in the Mortal Realm from within the celestial aura, moving at Helena’s command.
Those who sought to drag down clashed with those who judged them, their forms entangled as they slaughtered one another.
The Abyss Prisoners attempted to seize the Valkyries’ wings and tear them from the sky, while the Valkyries wielded spears and blades against those trapped in the Abyss, severing necks and literally dropping their bodies to the ground.
The war between the Heavenly Realm and the Abyss transcended fierceness—it was utterly brutal and merciless.
Observing this carnage, the Lord of Abyss began to grow increasingly anxious.
His prisoners were dwindling steadily, and the Valkyries—celestial warriors known as the maidens of war—still maintained numerical superiority.
If this continued, the tide would inevitably turn against him.
Thus, he summoned his most formidable prisoner.
The party of the Hero who had existed before Hindel.
He summoned the one who had betrayed the Hero and fallen into the Abyss.
Muranos the Warrior.
“Oho?”
By summoning one once called the mightiest warrior, the Lord of Abyss began to gain the upper hand against Helena’s maidens of war.
Muranos, wielding the Abyss Blade, swept across the Battlefield with devastating force, slaughtering Valkyries in his wake.
Observing this, Helena watched with evident intrigue.
Thus, she gathered her abundant celestial essence into a single form and gave birth to a new Valkyrie.
When the Grand Warrior Valkyrie emerged—bearing three pairs of wings that transcended the dimension of ordinary Valkyries—even Muranos, once called the mightiest warrior, grew wary and fixed his gaze upon her.
They bared their teeth at one another and began their assault, becoming the vanguard as they charged toward each other.
In their wake, Valkyries and Abyss Prisoners clashed and entangled, their numbers gradually diminishing.
“They fight well.”
True to Helena’s words, Muranos held his own against the Grand Warrior Valkyrie, their blades meeting without him yielding an inch, and the Grand Warrior Valkyrie fought with equal composure against him.
Since this was a contest of their respective military summons, the Lord of Abyss could now perceive it.
He and Helena standing before him possessed nearly equivalent power.
Thus, the Lord of Abyss poured additional strength into Muranos however he could.
As Muranos wielded the Abyss Blade and drew deeper upon the Abyss’s power, he gradually began to gain the advantage over the Grand Warrior Valkyrie.
Pressing down from all sides with his blade, he attacked relentlessly.
The Grand Warrior Valkyrie was forced to drop to one knee.
Kuuuuuuuuung———!!!
An immense pressure from the Abyss.
And though the Grand Warrior Valkyrie felt it acutely, she deflected the blade with her shield and countered with her own swordplay, swinging her blade toward Muranos.
Muranos, wielding only his greatsword, evaded the attack and attempted to counterattack, but the Grand Warrior Valkyrie rushed toward his blade, allowing it to pierce her abdomen, then in that moment of his confusion, she drove her one-handed sword into his throat.
Shuuuuck!
As Muranos’s throat was torn and his head fell to the ground—a prisoner of the Abyss no more.
The Grand Warrior Valkyrie’s body too was severed, collapsing to the ground.
As the duel between the Grand Warrior Valkyrie and Muranos the Abyss Prisoner ended in a draw, both fell in death.
The Battlefield’s momentum had shifted to a similar stalemate.
Though the Valkyries were vastly outnumbered, they fought the Abyss Prisoners with remarkable skill, yet their dwindling numbers ultimately led to mutual annihilation.
Just as the Lord of Abyss prepared to summon additional prisoners once more.
“It was entertaining, but let’s end this now.”
Helena’s verdict rang out.
