Chapter 257
Chapter 257
The Silver Storm God was colossal in size.
When it spread its wings fully, its shadow engulfed the entirety of Belmore Territory.
By conventional logic, there was no method to alter the Silver Storm God’s trajectory.
However, I possessed an item from First—something utterly unconventional by Second’s standards.
I rushed toward the Evil God’s head.
“Luke, the leash!”
– Yes, Master.
He produced a single rope that evoked images of a binding cord.
It may appear trivial now, but this was none other than—
[ Gleipnir ]
( Non-tradeable )
Type: Tool
Grade: Mythic
Requirement: Level 1,000+, Taming Lv 100+
Description: A paradoxical symbol and magical shackle, said to have been crafted by dwarves from materials that do not exist in this world to bind the Imperial Stables Fenrir.
A mythic-grade leash with a 1,000 level restriction.
While I had exhausted all mythic-grade weapons during the Age of Fallen Mythology, mythic-grade tools still remained in my arsenal.
Without hesitation, I hurled the leash in my grasp—Gleipnir—forward.
Whoosh!
The leash recognized the Evil God’s presence, abnormally thickened and lengthened, and began coiling around its neck.
“Kiiiiieeeee—!!”
The Evil God thrashed in resistance.
Silver currents rippled, piercing through Sylph’s Blessing and unleashing tremendous wind pressure.
Enduring this force, the moment I perceived Gleipnir completely encircling the Evil God’s neck—
Crack!
I began pulling the leash with all my strength.
‘Taming would be impossible, but twisting its direction should be feasible.’
Gleipnir was originally the final equipment of the Tamer class.
However, even a Tamer could not tame an Evil God.
Much less someone like me, lacking both the level and taming skill.
Yet, rather than taming the Evil God, I could manipulate it for a fleeting moment.
In fact, during my time in First, I had altered the movements of colossal monsters using this very method.
However—
Crack!
“Ugh.”
The Evil God’s strength was immense.
No matter how hard I pulled, the leash would not budge an inch.
Though my stats were considerably higher than users of the same level, they fell short against the Evil God’s raw power.
So to compensate for the power deficit.
[ Ogre Lord’s Worn Armor ]
[ Ogre Lord’s Dented Helmet ]
[ Ogre Lord’s Torn Tunic ]
….
[ You have equipped all 6/6 pieces of the ‘Ogre Lord’ set. ]
[ The ‘Ogre Lord’ set effect activates. ]
[ Ogre Lord : Strength increases dramatically. ]
I swiftly changed into the armor.
Among all my equipment, the Ogre Lord set was the most straightforward way to dramatically boost strength.
I pushed my strength to its absolute limit with strength potions and Strength magic on top of that.
With the Black Flame transformation still active, I borrowed Luke’s power to the fullest extent.
“Hnngh!”
The leash in my grip.
I yanked Gleipnir to one side.
Just moments ago, this leash wouldn’t budge an inch.
Craaaack!
But now it was different.
As the leash pulled taut, I felt the Evil God’s neck twisting.
And naturally.
Screeeech—.
The Evil God’s falling trajectory began to shift.
The Evil God was resisting, but even a god could not ignore my strength—amplified by a level 1,000 Mythic-grade leash, the Ogre Lord set, and various potions and magic.
* * *
“In, insane!”
“Run!”
“If it crushes us, we’re dead! No question!”
The moment the Evil God began to fall.
The Black Flame Guild members began fleeing in panic.
How much health they had or how high their defense was didn’t matter.
All of them, having raised their levels by 300 in Second, knew this truth well.
In Second, which operated on realistic physics, being crushed by an Evil God of that size meant certain death.
They weren’t the only ones in shock.
“W-where is it falling?! No, what is this?!”
“Lord, you must flee!”
“Do you honestly think running now will let us escape that?!”
Belmore Lord was seized with terror.
From the highest point in the Territory.
From the top floor of the Lord’s Castle where he had been watching everything unfold, the Evil God’s fall felt closer than to anyone else.
But watching didn’t provide any solutions.
Even if I were to leap from the Lord’s Castle this very instant, there would be no escaping the Evil God.
“Kyaaaaaaah!”
“Someone save us!”
“The Evil God is falling!”
The Territory residents sheltering beneath the Lord’s Castle were no different.
They panicked and fidgeted at the realization that the Evil God was plummeting toward them.
Some pounded desperately at the doors, but they remained sealed from the inside—a precaution against potential monster attacks or infiltration.
Just before everyone descended into complete chaos.
“Kyoooooooo—!!”
The Evil God roared and began twisting its body.
The trajectory of the Evil God, which had been plummeting toward the Lord’s Castle, warped violently, its wing tip grazing past the castle’s peak.
At that moment.
Everyone could see it.
“Oh, Baron Mir!”
“It’s Baron Mir!”
“The Guild Master!”
Atop the Evil God, Mir gripped a golden rope looped around the creature’s neck, pulling with all his might.
No complex reasoning was needed to understand.
Mir was redirecting the Evil God’s trajectory, guiding it beyond the Territory’s borders.
Not long after.
Boom!!
The Evil God crashed just outside Belmore Territory.
Though Belmore Territory’s walls sustained some damage, no one harbored any resentment toward Mir for it.
As everyone exhaled in relief.
The first to move was.
Dash!
“Yul-ha!”
“Keep holding back the monsters! I’m going to help Mir!”
The Sword God, Yul-ha.
The moment she realized the Evil God, though fallen, was not yet defeated, she bolted toward where it had crashed.
Kang Ju-hyuk wanted to follow Yul-ha immediately.
“Kyaaaah!”
“Screech!”
“Tch, everyone focus! The battle isn’t over yet! First, we bring those things down!”
“Yes, Sub-Guild Master!”
The battle here was far from finished.
The moment the blizzard subsided, the flying monsters that had followed the Evil God became even more ferocious.
Many of them were even attempting to head toward where the Evil God had crashed.
“We have to pin them down so they can’t interfere with Mir!”
“Yes!”
They resolved to remain steadfast in their roles.
* * *
The Evil God plummeted from the sky.
This alone should have drained more than half of the Evil God’s vitality.
From my experience in First, the Evil God was uniquely vulnerable to fall damage.
However, this also meant nearly half of its vitality remained.
“Kiiiieeeeee-!”
The Evil God pushed against the ground with one wing, attempting to rise.
Though the other wing had its joints completely shattered and could not move.
Whoooosh!
A silvery current swept through, attempting to lift the Evil God’s body skyward once more.
“That won’t happen.”
To prevent this.
[ The Saw-Blade That Cleaves Heaven and Earth, Kuruchi ]
( Non-Tradeable )
Form: Sword
Grade: Mythical
I drew the blade immediately.
In that instant.
– Activating skill ‘Black Insect Flash’.
Thud!
I began attacking the Evil God’s right wing joint.
If the Evil God, which I’d barely managed to bring down, took flight again, the situation would become far more troublesome.
It would be fortunate if it continued attacking me, but if it fled upward into the clouds, pursuit would become difficult.
So first, I had to completely shatter both wings.
Whooooom!
Each time the Evil God writhed, silvery wind pressure and vortexes crashed down upon me.
Thud!
I ignored them all.
I maximized my wind resistance to disregard the silvery currents, replaced depleted vitality with potions, and continued hammering away with relentless strikes.
Crack!
“Kiiiieeeeee!”
I completely shattered the right wing joint as well.
No matter how masterfully the Silver Storm God wielded silvery currents, it would not fly again.
One thing remained.
‘The head.’
To finish off the grounded Silver Storm God.
From the moment it crashed to the ground, the Silver Storm God’s combat power had already fallen below half.
“Kiiiieeeeee-!!”
Yet it refused to yield easily.
With both wings already shattered and flight impossible, I redirected all the silver currents that had been desperately striving for ascension entirely toward offense.
As a result, wind blades, whirlwinds, and fierce gusts of pressure—every conceivable silver wind came crashing toward me.
Every silver wind imaginable assaulted me.
I could bring it down.
‘Troublesome, though.’
I could defeat it.
However, since the Silver Storm God had converted all its silver currents entirely to offense, it seemed this would take considerable time at this rate.
I was thinking of drawing the Evil God’s attention to disperse its attacks, and was even considering summoning a familiar despite my unfamiliarity with the skill, when—
“Mir!”
“…Yul-ha?”
“I came to see if there’s anything I can help with!”
In the distance.
I could see Yul-ha sprinting from the City Gate of Belmore Territory.
A smile bloomed across my face at the sight.
I hadn’t even summoned her, yet here she was with such perfect timing.
“We need to finish the Evil God. I’ll attack from the right—please strike from the left.”
“Understood!”
We immediately divided our positions and began attacking the Evil God.
She was the second-ranked user from the First era and the current top-ranked user of the Second.
She understood my instructions instantly, of course.
*Slash!*
She cut through the Evil God’s silver winds without hesitation, steadily wearing it down.
The Evil God began to panic.
Splitting its winds meant it could damage neither of us effectively.
Concentrate on one side, and fierce attacks came from the other.
My attacks wielding every powerful weapon I possessed were formidable, but Yul-ha’s assaults as the top-ranked user were equally devastating.
The Evil God writhed its broken wings, thrashed its large sharp beak, and desperately wielded its silver winds, but—
*Thud.*
Once it had lost its wings and crashed to the ground, the outcome was sealed.
My final blow, piercing through the silver currents and delivered with all my might.
The Evil God’s eyes, its vital point pierced, gradually dimmed.
The Silver Storm God—an Evil God uniquely troublesome to face due to its aerial nature among all Evil Gods—had fallen.
[ You have completed the Main Scenario Quest ‘Omen of Great Evil (5)’. ]
[ Your level has increased. ]
[ Your level has increased. ]
….
[ Main Scenario Quest ‘Omen of Great Evil (6)’ has been created. ]
Grade: Epic
Description: Having advanced to All Master, you must follow fate’s guidance to prevent the emergence of great evil.
Objective: Search for the sixth omen of great evil.
The System Message that materialized before my eyes bore witness to the Evil God’s demise.
I wanted nothing more than to immediately confirm the rewards for vanquishing the Evil God, but this was hardly the moment for such indulgence.
Even with the Evil God fallen, the monsters that had appeared alongside it remained numerous and formidable.
Now that the blizzard had ceased, even the formidable members of the Black Flame Guild would struggle to endure against such an overwhelming swarm of flying creatures.
I was about to rush to their aid when—
“SHRIEEEEEEEEK!!”
A thunderous roar echoed from the opposite end of the Territory.
I wondered if more of the Evil God’s monsters lurked beyond, but the voice that followed immediately set my mind at ease.
“Knights of the White Wyvern! Strike down these remnants of the Evil God that dare threaten the subjects of the Empire!”
One of the Imperial Knights.
The White Wyvern Knights had arrived.
The moment they descended upon the Territory, they began swiftly eliminating the monsters that had been savagely circling overhead.
It made sense, after all—among flying creatures, the wyvern was considered the supreme species.
With knights mounted upon such beasts now present, the Evil God’s remaining aerial minions stood no chance of survival.
“We could take a brief respite, couldn’t we?”
“Indeed.”
Thus, the fifth Evil God’s existence was completely erased from the Continent.
