episode_0328

A magical storm that grows bigger and bigger.

If you have the ability to distinguish between right and wrong, this is a place you would never want to step foot in.

However, Hong Yeonjun must go in. He drew his sword with a frown as if he had chewed shit.

“Tools,Forward.”

“Fuck.”

The expressions of those who had to go ahead of Hong Yeon-jun became even more rotten.

“Are you really going in there? Don’t you look injured? If you go in there, you’ll really die.”

“Who would like to go in?”

“Ao.”

No matter how much you complain, in the end a tool cannot go against its owner.

I had no choice but to raise my body, which was no different from a rag.

-Squeak…!

‘huh?’

That was the moment. The storm was pushed back.

It was a mistake. The wider range of the slash passed them by and headed towards the monsters rushing in from all directions.

It’s open?

That’s not the intention. This is a trap. A net has been set up so that it cannot escape.

A net that is extremely difficult to come and go through at will, both inside and outside.

Whatever it was, I hoped it would come in here too.

The 4th tier monsters were so terrified by the tragedy that they turned their heads away.

It was only then that Shiyagart appeared, and it was he who was maintaining his calm.

A shining appearance even in a hell filled with blood and flesh.

“Uhh… ”

Isn’t it often said that roses have thorns to protect their beauty?

As if acknowledging him, I couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat at the sight of his beautiful appearance.

Two pairs of translucent arms are forming a hand gesture, visible from the back.

Every time the six pairs of wings flap, a high-level magic that can easily destroy a castle pours out.

The circuits that rise like tree branches mechanically dominate the space and maintain a magical storm.

This is a true killing machine. It is specialized for tearing, destroying, and killing.

Even those who are armed and accustomed to killing are getting tired of it.

-thud!

But one being seemed satisfied with the situation. Hong Yeonjun stepped forward with a hollow laugh.

“… The positions have changed. Now I’m the one caught in the trap.”

Until a little while ago, this side had suddenly cornered them, but now they have turned around and entered the wizard’s workshop.

Lee Ha-yul nodded bluntly at Hong Yeon-jun’s self-deprecating words.

[Hong Yeonjun, I have something to ask you]

“The reason you didn’t ask just now was because you were planning to ask after you gained the upper hand?“

[Have you ever fallen into another world?]

The heads of those who had been tensely listening to the unexpected question turned.

“… … ”

But Hong Yeonjun didn’t seem puzzled. He didn’t show any reaction and just pointed his sword.

[Have you ever been cursed? Controlled by that son of a bitch called Purgatory or something? Who is that guy that’s on your mind?]

-Squeak…

The grip holding the sword tightened slightly. Hong Yeonjun’s face was expressionless.

Lee Ha-yul, who had been observing even the movement of blood, nodded at the reaction.

[Is there something you couldn’t do about it?]

“… Well, is there really a reason for me to ask? If there is a reason, would you please let me go? “

[I already told that to the person behind you]

The two hands that had released the water seal held the purification.

[If you follow me, I’ll be lenient. If not, I’ll try to tie you up by cutting off your limbs.]

Hong Yeon-jun, who had been maintaining an expressionless face at the rather grim declaration, let out a bitter smile.

“Haha, what a merciful thing to do.”

The conversation ended like that. The tools that had been used to treat the wounded moved. Lee Ha-yool sent a message with a wrinkled face.

-Excuse me, sir, but could you take care of those? I’ll help you too.

The voice that I heard was full of regret and worry. Since it conveyed my thoughts exactly as they were, there was no room for misunderstanding.

Daera let out a sly laugh and made a thunderclap in her hand.

“Don’t worry. They’re all going to get hurt anyway.”

-thank you

That’s what Lee Ha-yool said. He created magic. Various strengthening magic took hold of Era’s body. She opened her eyes wide at the vitality that spread throughout her body.

-We will continue to supply you with horsepower, so don’t worry about horsepower.

“Wow! This is better than nothing! Seriously, don’t worry, priest!”

Daera kicked the ground. She moved some distance inside the storm and let out lightning freely.

-Take it, take it, take it!

Kwarrung! Lightning flashed across the ground.

Those who thought of the lightning before Gagamjeon and tried to respond were shocked and fell out. That was how strong the lightning that Daera poured out was.

“What is that? Why is the output like that?”

To some extent, the instantaneous output is beyond terrifying.

Hong Yeon-jun raised his sword, even though he was startled by the lightning flashing on one side.

A flame dripped down the blade. It was a blacker and duller fire than other fires.

As Hong Yeon-jun approached, holding a sword with both hands, Lee Ha-yool also pulled out a sword.

-Whoooosh!

The fear of Iha Yul rose. The dark area became brightly colored, and a strange warmth spread throughout.

“You’re very different from me.”

But Hong Yeonjun only felt a sense of crisis. So he let out his fear without even looking.

Ability to expand the fear

flowering

A dull and terrifying explosion erupted. He wrapped his sword around it and swung it wildly. The flames that were difficult to control took the form of a slaughter.

Lee Ha-yool’s actions were the opposite. The small, rising fear gathered in his hand.

Compression, not diffusion. He stretched out his hand full of fear. When he finally released his grip, fear, processed into the form of a spell, poured out.

The dull and disheveled painting split apart.

A bright and vivid lightning flashed through the air. It quickly attacked Hong Yeonjun, who lowered his body.

‘danger!’

Misjudgment.

The black energy was disrupted and turned into dozens of thorns that poured down on top of his head. Park Chan-hong and Yeon-jun scattered a lot of fire into the sky.

They got entangled in a web of terror and burned each other. I couldn’t believe it.

The fear flowers that were used and the fear flowers that were not used are fluttering similarly. From the beginning, the superiority of the output is clear.

What’s even more surprising is that the terror is manipulated with such precision.

The bright fear that had spread everywhere was pressuring him. Hong Yeonjun responded by scattering his own fear.

‘It’s narrowing down.’

It didn’t have much of an effect. The area where one’s own space and attributes were controlled was reduced. That place was taken by the fear of the lower rate.

If things continue like this, everything will be burned to the ground. Hong Yeonjun, who was angry at this, turned off the fire.

Ability to expand the fear

evolution

Instead, he struggles and spreads the anger inside his body. Boom! His body, which had shot up loudly, hits the ground.

Hong Yeonjun, who had accelerated, was hit by a wave of fear. Wham! He broke through the fear before his fully inflated energy was completely consumed.

‘See─’

Lee Ha-yool was waiting in front of Hong Yeon-jun, who barely escaped. He was struck by the fist that was pulled back.

A fist struck the raised arm.

-Kwaaang!

The already thin steel shattered into pieces. The body that was thrown roughly fell to the ground and rolled around.

There was no room for anything to lie unsightly on the floor.

I jumped up with my broken arm. My leg landed where my head had been. Boom! The surrounding ground sank.

Before I could catch my breath, Lee Ha-yool, who was wrapped in fear, approached.

He recovered his energy and strength by scraping the floor and responding with his magical power.

Close combat that narrowed the distance. He wrapped himself in fear and moved his limbs.

‘Ugh…!’

As expected, he was pushed back. Hong Yeonjun’s face distorted as his legs were pushed back unsightly.

‘How do I recover my sanity…!’

Expandable ability. The only thing that the one-sided attack-oriented coward has is self-healing ability.

However, it is impossible to simultaneously pursue idealization, which is already pouring all of its energy into evolution.

An attack that covers the entire field of vision. Six hands display a variety of movements.

Any tricks this side puts out are immediately seen through, and the defense is quickly opened up. They step back, give up space, and are pushed into a corner without looking good.

In fact, it is a miracle that it is holding up.

-Whoooosh!

Lee Ha-yool’s right hand stabbed him repeatedly. A hand wrapped around a cowardly fire. When the energy is pierced and the cowardly fire touches his bare body, he sees blood properly.

So, there was a brief moment when my nerves were focused on my right hand.

Lee Ha-yul’s left arm flashed. It’s not unusual for a superhuman to flash in battle, but that was different.

For a moment, I had the illusion that the sun was rising in the dark.

-Bam!

‘… Ugh!’

When I got rid of the illusion, my head had already turned. I felt a tingling pain rising from my dangling jaw and a flickering sense of consciousness.

‘ah.’

A familiar feeling. In the past, memories of getting beaten up and running away together with Spada came back to me.

It was like a kaleidoscope. The past regeneration was over and consciousness returned to reality.

It’s late.

The two pairs of hands that were once empty are now holding blades. Their respective targets are a hand and a leg. It looks like they are trying to cut off real limbs and take them away.

Of course, Hong Yeonjun might like it better that way…

‘Fuck, this is not working out─’

“flaw”

As expected, it was not permitted.

-Koosh!

A faint burning sensation covered my body along with the sound of satisfying breathing in my ears.

[…!]

Lee Ha-yul, who was about to cut off Hong Yeon-jun’s limb, felt a strange sensation.

Hong Yeonjun’s body collapsed backwards. The terror contained inside it leaked out.

‘Scared?’

A question arose in my mind. The question became a conviction. It was different. The senses and the observations pointed to a conviction.

Hong Yeonjun’s fingers moved as if time had stopped.

My intuition resonated. I avoided it. I didn’t go against it. The wings of the sky flapped and I pushed my body backwards as fast as I could.

-Whoa!

[Ugh]

The sword with a strange trajectory penetrated the defense and barely grazed my arm.

His body split like tofu. Blood splattered on his forearm. Lee Ha-yool pulled his body back and made a face.

-Ugh, ugh…!

[pang]

My arm hurts. I’m used to the pain. But my face still contorts and my body crumples.

A dizzying pain runs through my mind.

-Whoooosh!

Flames clinging to the body. Even though the body has extremely high flame resistance as the fear settles in, the flesh that spreads the red flames turns black.

‘This is…!’

Like some scar that seemed to have disappeared now.

『Huh, haha. I knew you’d do that.』

Hong Yeon-jun stood up unsteadily. He grabbed the sword he was holding loosely and laughed several times.

The voice fills our eardrums as if telling us not to let it go. Its heavy presence presses down on the space.

-Squeak…!

The wide open right-hand wheel has narrowed.

The air is on fire. A heat so intense that even those with moderate fire resistance cannot breathe is spreading.

[…you]

『Do I really need to introduce it? You already know.』

Hong Yeon-jun scanned the flesh and blood on the blade…

no.

“They call it the Tower of Purgatory”

The Tower of Purgatory that descended into Hong Yeonjun’s body answered.

.

.

.

Tower of Cold.

Tower of Command.

Tower of Purgatory.

The foreign enemies that invade the world, as already revealed in the original work.

I knew that I would face it someday. That’s why I was afraid, but I also vaguely imagined when that would happen.

“Nice to meet you”

I didn’t know I would suddenly encounter you here like this.

The surrounding air and ground were heated up, and flames formed spontaneously in the air.

The strange presence made my skin crawl.

‘no.’

Actually, I had expected it a little bit, maybe within my scope, but I didn’t know it would come true.

-Thump! Thump! Thump!

My heart was pounding. My blood was boiling.

As I stood before Purgatory, the energy that supported my body surged forward more violently than I had imagined.

In that spirit, there was a strong hostility towards Purgatory.

Anyway, thanks to that I can breathe easier.

First, I checked my right arm. A red flame was burning my skin and causing excruciating pain.

-Ugh…!

If you think about the true nature of the enemy, this is the flames of purgatory before it becomes a cowardice.

He gritted his teeth and pulled up the fireball. Whoosh whoosh! The fireball he had pulled up like crazy swallowed Purgatory.

The persistently struggling Purgatory finally subsided in the midst of fear.

In the place where Purgatory was, a charred scar remained.

“Oh, it’s going out as expected. It’s so strange that my flame went out so easily.”

The tower lord of purgatory, who had been watching my actions, opened his eyes wide.

He clenched his fists in that peaceful mood.

“What is that kid doing?! Priest! Are you okay?!”

-It’s okay! So don’t look away!

He shook his head and answered the question from the back of his head.

‘Should I try to talk or just run at him?’

The private is in the process of cornering the three of them. The output of their unique abilities is so monstrous that the ones who are trembling with injuries are barely holding on.

Monsters running from the corners of the room? You can still stop them.

There is a little leeway.

I observed the phenomenon of the ‘Pagoda Lord descending through a curse’ as precisely as possible and took a firm stance.

[How did you get here already?]

“Aha, a conversation?”

-Tch!

Purgatory, Hong Yeonjun’s skin was split open. The surrounding flesh was charred black, and a red flame was blazing inside the crack.

At my question, the tower keeper of Purgatory put his chin to his chest and laughed.

『As you can see, this is not a normal incarnation. Since it was forced in, it is burdensome and cannot bring out any power.』

First, I furrowed my brow as I asked the question. Unexpectedly, the answer came quickly.

This is not normal procedure. In other words, it seems like if we waste time here, they will just vacate the place.

[He’s so friendly for a kid who stabs you as soon as he sees you]

『Okay. I’ve been waiting to fight you for so long, so just having a little conversation is fine. But…』

The Tower of Purgatory rummaged through the treasures.

『I don’t have much free time in this situation. Today is not a good day to fight. And I have something I want to do too.』

The hand that had been rummaging through the contents came out. In that hand was a straw doll.

‘Artifact.’

It’s an artifact that I was already observing. I tried to steal it in the middle, but Purgatory descended and I failed.

The effects are known through analysis. It is a powerful body that summons and manifests existence depending on the injected material.

If Purgatory were to descend, I thought it would be through a spirit body, but my expectations were wrong.

“What will happen?”

The laughing Purgatory Tower owner rubbed the straw doll against the blade of his sword.

And then, my flesh and blood that was stuck to the blade was absorbed into the straw doll.

[what?]

I was shocked by the use of it.

That wasn’t all.

As the guy tore open the subspace pouch that was barely attached to his waist, the monster byproducts that had filled the subspace poured out.

It was a monster that Daera called a follower.

Gulp! All the by-products that had piled up like a mountain were stuck to the straw doll.

[What the heck!]

There’s no need to analyze it. It’s a dangerous thing to do.

The moment I was about to smash the byproducts and artifacts, the owner of the Purgatory Tower came running in.

It was fast. The distance disappeared in an instant due to the mysterious movements.

-Kwaang!

He quickly extended his left arm and blocked the sword.

“Just wait a minute. What are you waiting for?”

He burst into rage as he faced the purgatory pouring down from the blade.

The fire is burning. The fire on this side is burning.

My skin turned red from the sudden approach of heat.

[Fuck it]

He crumpled his face and drew out all his magic power.

Ability to expand the fear

flowering

– Whoosh whoosh!

The white flames of the fire rose up and pushed away the flames of purgatory. The tower lord of purgatory, who was in awe, retreated to avoid the fire.

[this…!]

But in that short time, the artifact had already been activated.

The by-products that were as abundant as a mountain were absorbed into the straw doll.

Flesh, bones, and blood poured out of the straw doll that had grown to the size of a person.

The indiscriminately poured materials dug into and wrapped the straw doll, beginning to form a shape.

It was a human figure.

Jet-black hair. Long but gaunt body. Pale skin.

A face that seems familiar to me…

“… Ah.”

The dark shadowed eyelids opened. The bloodshot eyes inside them squinted as they caught the light.

“Ah, ugh… !”

Suddenly, the man grabbed his hair with both hands. Crunch! His fingers dug into his hair. Red blood flowed out, soaking his hair.

-Thud! Thud!

The wound wasn’t just on the scalp where the finger had dug in. The skin that had been intact split and burst, and blood gushed out.

There was blood on the floor. But the pool of blood that the man had spilled was deeper and wider than before.

“Ah, aaa …

The man screamed with his throat torn open. The blood that filled the floor spurted out as if in resonance with his scream.

Immediately after.

-Kwajajajajajak!!

Countless thorns rose from the blood and filled the space.
