Black Sun

I’ll kill you.

I’ll kill the Nameless One standing before me.

The moment I made that thought, no, that decision, the Nameless One’s pure white Divine Realm was dyed crimson.

A Divine Realm where white could not be found.

A Divine Realm filled entirely with crimson.

A Divine Realm filled with pitch-black darkness, where even the light of the sun floating above could not reach.

Within it, I walked.

Zhi-eeek- Tak-

Pure murderous intent.

This is the first time I’ve thought of killing the enemy before me. Not thinking of winning, not thinking of saving my friends, my people, Rubia.

Truly, this is the first time I’ve thought of killing purely.

Is that why?

My head, which felt like it would burn with rage, cooled down. My boiling heart, my breath that was burning with passion, all seemed to have passed their limit and held their breath.

The Nameless One’s laughter, the smacking sounds, were the same.

Zhi-eeek- Tak-

In the silence where only the sound of the greatsword dragging could be heard, a rough cracking sound came from under my feet.

Was it because the earth couldn’t withstand my strongly planted foot? This is my Divine Realm made of my Divinity, but my own power can’t withstand it?

I don’t know.

I didn’t care.

If only I could kill that bastard.

Now, I didn’t care about anything else.

Make it painful.

I want to see the look of despair on its face.

I want to hear its screams begging me.

I threw away those thoughts.

Zhi-eeek- Tak-

That bastard crossed the line.

It’s not that I had forgotten about Rubia.

I had surrounded her body with a Divine Realm even more intricately woven than the one surrounding my own body.

And yet, the Nameless One’s tentacles touched Rubia’s body. Splattered her blood. Absorbed it.

I don’t know what it’s trying to do with Rubia’s blood, but.

It hurt Rubia and laughed as if it felt good.

That action was enough reason for it to die immediately. ‘I’ would also understand.

So, I walked. I opened my eyes and looked ahead.

The Nameless One, who had stopped laughing, stood still and looked at me.

I was also looking at it.

Even in the pitch-black darkness, its appearance was clearly visible. The wriggling tentacles, the tightly closed mouths, and.

Even its slightly trembling body.

Seeing that, I didn’t feel any sense of relief or excitement. Rather, it was buried deep within my heart.

Zhi-eeek- Tak-

That thing.

The thought that it had ruined this world like this.

The thought that it had killed my friend.

The thought that it had created so much blood, so much death.

The thought that it had created Rubia’s tears, blood, and pain.

No light could enter my heart.

What does my face look like now?

What expression do I have?

What do I look like?

It’s certain that these are appearances I can’t show Rubia. So, I carefully turned my head.

Rubia is still sleeping.

I’m glad I can hide this side of me.

I’m glad I can hide the sight of me tearing that bastard apart from now on.

Crackle―

I’m glad.

–

―――.

A huge roar.

With that sound, Noah was standing in front of the Nameless One. She swung her greatsword. She reached out and tore off a tentacle. She swung her leg and cut off the remaining tentacles supporting the floor.

Hoo. Perhaps because the shape of its body was not clear, it did not fall to the floor but floated into the air.

Noah’s palm stretched out towards it.

And, she gripped.

Caught.

Twitch- The trembling felt from the Nameless One’s body was transmitted to Noah’s fingertips. Without paying attention, she pulled it down to the floor.

Creak- Creak- Newly grown tentacles from the tattered cross-section grabbed at the air. They resisted Noah’s power. But, it was meaningless. Because the greatsword that was swung immediately cut off its tentacles.

As a result, the greatsword was swung at the Nameless One’s body, which had been dragged to the floor. ―Swoosh. It cut through the air, the smoke, the fog, the color, but the sound was heard.

Fss- The Nameless One’s body, which made a sound like water being poured on a bonfire, disappeared powerlessly. It didn’t die. It escaped.

Noah immediately kicked off the ground and ran.

She could know where it would come out.

She had no choice but to know.

[Ki sense] painted the future.

Intuition whispered.

The Divine Realm told her.

Red eyes, soaked in murderous intent, looked at that place.

The faintly beginning color.

Towards it, Noah swung her greatsword. At the same time, time went back. She was moved to the place she had been standing a little while ago. She gritted her teeth and ran towards it.

The Nameless One’s body, which had been completed before she knew it. From the center of that body, countless tentacles spewed out. Avoid. Cut. Break. Noah had many choices, but she just ran.

It’s the final battle anyway.

If she kills it, there will be no more battles.

So, it’s okay to get hurt. As long as her neck is still attached, as long as her heart is still beating, she can kill it.

After finishing such a reckless calculation, Noah ran.

Pooh-wack-! A tentacle pierced her arm. It pierced her thigh. It pierced her side, and slammed down on the top of her foot.

But, Noah’s body, which had come to possess Divinity, could withstand it. So she ignored it and ran. Then, she swung her greatsword.

―Tear! An intangible energy. She cut through the distorted time.

Time did not twist. Noah’s body remained in that place. Her speed did not decrease either. Seeing that, the Nameless One trembled and once again spewed out an intangible energy. This time, there was no need to cut it. Noah’s fist broke it.

Like that, Noah arrived in front of the Nameless One.

Red eyes, emitting the only light in the pitch-black darkness, stared directly at the Nameless One.

The light contained in the red eyes was not as brilliant as the sun. It was not as beautiful as the stars and moon in the night sky.

An ominous light.

The light of a [Calamity Star] to destroy the world.

A dark light that only desired the death of the opponent looked at the Nameless One.

At that moment, the Nameless One recalled the emotion of fear once again. An emotion that should not be felt. The Nameless One, who had abandoned the human body, abandoned its appearance, broke free from the mold, and returned to its true form, should not have felt emotions. It couldn’t even feel them in the first place.

However, at this moment, at this moment alone.

The emotion of fear was felt clearly.

As a result, it was unpleasant. It was angry. It was anxious.

Again, feeling emotions.

It couldn’t understand. Was it because of the spirit master girl’s magic? It didn’t know. It had never felt such a thing even when facing any god.

The Nameless One began to struggle to shake off the fear that had dug into its head.

Numerous faces sprouted from the body made of hazy colors. Countless arms stretched out. Slimy pus flowed from the round, swollen skin.

The vanished [Halo] also rose again. A mouth sprouted. Teeth chattered. A creepy tongue licked the crimson Divine Realm.

Soon, the face that sprouted from the body chanted a spell. It became magic, it became a curse, it became dragon language, it became ancient magic.

Arms stretched out like a hedgehog towards Noah. At first glance, they were arms with only bones left, but each one contained the power to destroy everything.

Pus splattered. Hot heat, pus that was perhaps hotter than the hellfire that Brunhilde had handled, splattered. It seemed to be splattering in all directions, but they were only reaching out towards Noah.

Meanwhile, the mouth, the teeth, the tongue that rose from the [Halo], the crimson Divinity that it had gnawed on, settled in the Nameless One’s body and permeated its attacks.

Noah, who had been watching the scene quietly, said calmly.

“You.”

She raised her greatsword.

“Have nothing.”

She swung.

“No name, no power, no Divinity.”

All attacks were shattered.

“Do you think you, who has nothing, can beat me?”

Following that, a fist stretched out. No, a hand.

It grabbed and tore apart the Nameless One’s body. Hazy smoke, fog, color. Unknown things were easily torn off by a small hand.

“You, who only steals from others, can beat me?”

And.

[Kk, ah, ah, ah, ack.]

A scream that could not become a language, a scream that seemed to imitate human language, and an unknown screech mixed in after that, echoed.

A scream that could not be known where it was coming from.

But Noah could know the source of it. So, she shoved her hand in. Into the source of the sound.

“You can’t beat me. No matter what you do, you can never, ever beat me.”

And, again, ―Crackle. She tore it off.

The sound stopped.

Then, the faces that sprouted on the body, the skin of the faces, the mouths that sprouted on the [Halo], screamed.

The screams became magic. They became disaster. They created countless Divine Power and began to distort time. The Nameless One’s body is recovering. It is regenerating.

It doesn’t matter whether that is the Nameless One’s will or not. Noah was just stretching out her fist and swinging her greatsword.

“On the contrary. I can,”

Crunch.

“Kill you.”

Crush.

“I will kill you.”

Swoosh.

“No matter what.”

Crackle.

Even if a tentacle piercing her arm, she stretched out her fist. Even if blood gushed from her thigh, which had a hole in it, she swung her greatsword. If both arms were tied up, she bit with her teeth. She kicked up her knee.

Even if time twisted and her position changed, even if she was far away, she tenaciously clung on and crushed the Nameless One’s body.

In the midst of that, the Nameless One’s body, which had burst out disgusting pus all at once, soared into the sky.

Noah’s quickly stretched out hand tried to grab its body, but it was a little late.

As a result, the Nameless One, who had risen as if to reach the sun, opened its mouth wide on its body.

In order to swallow the light of the sun.

Noah couldn’t know what would be accomplished by doing so. So, she couldn’t leave it alone.

She’ll drop it.

Thud. A roughly stamped foot. The greatsword lifted above it.

“[Celestial Fall].”

Kwa-reureung―!

The sky falls. The Nameless One, who had reigned over the sky, falls. The mouth that was trying to swallow the light, Lilith’s light, closes futilely. The Nameless One’s body, which had fallen miserably, tumbled disgracefully on the floor.

Above it, Noah’s greatsword was slammed down. Pus splatters in all directions. Color drains away. The crimson Divinity that Noah had swallowed began to break the Nameless One’s body from the inside.

The Nameless One, who twisted its body as if it was painful, struggled, spewing out the crimson Divinity it had swallowed.

“Eat.”

Noah didn’t stay still when she saw that. She shoved the Divinity she had gathered from within her body into the Nameless One’s maw. Crackle- Bones were broken and skin was torn, but Noah’s hand dug even deeper.

“Eat.”

And, Kuung―! The [Aura] fueled by murderous intent raged within her body. It exploded. That explosion flowed through Noah’s hand and was trapped inside the Nameless One’s maw, inside its throat, inside its body.

“Just like you’ve been doing until now.”

Kuung―!

The [Aura] that continued to be pushed in gradually grew the Nameless One’s body. Even so, Noah did not stop.

“Try eating it.”

Kuung―!

The blood of Rubia that had been absorbed was shattered.

Kuung―!

The Divinity of Lilith that had been absorbed was shattered.

Kuung―!

Even the Divinity stolen from the gods of other worlds.

Kuung―!

Even the emotion of fear, all shattered.

Kuung―!

Only despair remained.

The Nameless One despairing.

That was what Noah and ‘Noah’ had desired, but.

It was of no use to the current Noah.

I’ll kill you. I’ll kill that bastard.

That alone was the purpose and the driving force.

But the Nameless One did not die.

It couldn’t die. Until everything inside its body was gone, it was a body that couldn’t die.

Noah knew that.

The Divine Realm, the [Ki sense], told her.

Because of that, she didn’t hold back and continued to kill the Nameless One.

She poured an endless Divinity, a vast ocean, no, beyond that, perhaps even an infinite amount, into the Nameless One.

The Nameless One’s body, which ‘still’ did not have the concept of death, accepted death as pain. Terrible pain. Pain it had never experienced before.

It was hard to endure. Even if it wanted to scream, the pain was one step ahead and blocked its mouth. Noah’s fist cut off even the slightest scream that leaked out.

The attack that was swung towards Rubia in order to turn its gaze was also blocked as a matter of course.

In that desperate torture, the Nameless One thought.

The last resort. The resort it had left behind. Should it use it?

If it used it, it couldn’t enter the false paradise. It would have to hold its breath again for countless eons, seize the opportunity, and eat the gods of other worlds.

Still, still it could live.

It could live out of here.

Not only that, but it could kill this human.

It could end this world forever.

Enduring countless eons? It’s nothing to itself, who lives forever.

Rather than being killed by a human like this, it’s better to endure that time.

Not only that?

The expression of that human despairing at the last moment.

That alone would be enough to endure those countless eons.

An unavoidable choice.

Perhaps a choice that would be an eternal pleasure.

The Nameless One made a decision.

At the same time, it collapsed the body it had barely maintained.

As a result. Kuung―! Noah’s hand, her fist, the [Aura] that spewed out from there, struck the air.

[Noah.]

At the same time, the Nameless One’s voice echoed from the empty air.

Noah’s eyes, her [Ki sense], her Divine Realm, looked around to find its existence, but she couldn’t find it.

So, she took a breath and listened to its voice.

[If you kill me in this place right now, an existence like me, maybe even stronger than me, will rush into this world.]

A voice that imitated Rubia’s tone.

[So, I’ll block it for you instead.]

The words that an Outer God would invade were not a lie.

But, the fact that it would block it was a lie.

A lie to use the last resort.

But the Nameless One’s words contained a sincerity that was unbelievable to be a lie.

[I’ll block it without harming this world. I’ll help you cross over to another world if you want.]

It’s used to these kinds of lies, these kinds of acting.

The Nameless One, itself, has lived like this its entire life.

The expression on Noah’s face, who heard that voice, became calm.

The Divinity that had been spewing out as if to destroy everything also became docile.

[If you want, I can revive your friends who have already died… who have left this world. Yes. I’ll somehow help the future ‘Noah’ too.]

Noah’s shoulders, which had been full of strength, lowered slightly. The greatsword and fist that she had been gripping fiercely also loosened slightly.

[How is it?]

The Nameless One, who saw that, rejoiced.

3 seconds. In just 3 seconds.

Everything would be over.

Even so, it swallowed its laughter.

Thinking about the possibility of a situation.

Because it didn’t know how the variable that human possessed would work.

It held its breath and hid its existence.

That was the action it was best at.

At that moment.

Noah’s mouth opened.

3 seconds.

“I, said.”

2 seconds.

“You.”

1 second.

“Can’t beat me.”

Noah’s head was lifted.

Red eyes that seemed to have seen through the ability to hide its existence, which was the only thing given to the Nameless One.

It stared directly at the Nameless One.

An indescribable creepiness enveloped the Nameless One.

Still, it was already too late.

That human can’t stop it.

It can’t stop the destruction, the initialization of the world.

The Nameless One, who was so sure of that, burst into laughter.

At the same time, the light of the sun poured into the Divine Realm filled with darkness. It illuminated the darkness.

The Nameless One, who revealed its appearance in that light, wriggled the tentacles that had sprouted all over its body and welcomed the sun.

And, the key, the activation word, to lead this world to destruction, declared to the world―

[…What, is it.]

It couldn’t.

Because a shadow was cast in front of the Nameless One.

Because a shadow was cast on the Divine Realm that had brightened for a moment.

The Nameless One’s head, which felt something was wrong, turned stiffly.

There.

“And I.”

Not a brilliant sun.

“Will kill you.”

There was a black sun.

“No matter what.”
