episode_0153

In an emptiness where the identity is unknown.

Jeong Yu-shin’s party faced off against a monster that looked like testicles.

Was its name Sweeper? It doesn’t matter. Either way, it was a guy I had to kill.

A few members of the Night of Death clan remained, but they were terrified and couldn’t come to their senses.

It was difficult to expect help from them.

Clang.

Delia took the lead. She wasn’t intimidated at all, even in front of a monster she had never seen before.

“Come!!!”

Delia’s sonorous shout. The dozens of eyeballs attached to the testicle monster frowned all at once.

Several bundles of tentacles were waved around nervously.

Delia raised her shield.

Bang!!! Bang!!! Bang!!!

The shield was dented here and there. But Delia stood firm and blocked all the tentacles.

Karin didn’t miss the gap and aimed her pre-loaded crossbow.

Thung!!!

The bolt that left the string flew towards Sweeper’s eyes.

Thwack!!!

As the bolt pierced one of Sweeper’s eyes, Sweeper went berserk.

“Kieeeeeeeeek!!!”

Dozens of tentacles convulsed and wriggled.

Opportunity.

Jeong Yu-shin also rushed in and swung his sword.

From top to bottom.

Slash.

The sharp sword lightly severed a tentacle.

Phuaaak!!!

Black blood spurted from the severed tentacle and soaked the floor.

“Kigigigik!!!”

Jeong Yu-shin’s party worked together to fend off the tentacles and pour out attacks.

Delia blocked the monster’s attacks.

Jeong Yu-shin and Karin struck from the side.

Barion assisted all the party members with holy magic.

A tightly knit formation formed through several party plays. The testicle monster, unable to find a gap, only screamed and floundered.

A small smile appeared on Jeong Yu-shin’s lips.

‘At this rate.’

It’s possible.

I can win. I can survive, take care of my party members, and get out.

Hope arose in my heart.

“Hey, hey!!! That Sweeper’s weakness is its forehead!!!”

One of the Night of Death clan members shouted. Did that guy see hope as well?

Jeong Yu-shin’s body, which had been moving forward like the wind, suddenly froze.

Wait.

Something’s wrong.

‘Is it going this easily?’

I felt a strange premonition.

Just as Delia lowered her shield and was about to swing her mace.

The testicle monster’s eyes narrowed. As if it had been waiting for this moment.

‘A trap.’

I realized it immediately.

“Delia!!! Be careful!!!”

Jeong Yu-shin shouted at Delia, who was next to him.

“What…?”

[Langkrium Shykrel.]

Sweeper cast an unknown magic.

The party members’ bodies stiffened in an instant.

The party members were embarrassed and didn’t know what to do because they were hit by a strange binding magic they had never experienced before.

My heart sank.

“Ee, eeik!!!”

A tentacle flew like a ray of light and struck Delia, who was struggling to move.

Bang!!!

“Keuheoeok!!!”

Delia flew through the air. The plate armor was crushed by a single attack. An overwhelming force completely different from before.

Thud!!!

Delia, who had been floating in the air, rolled across the floor. Her helmet came off, and her blood-stained blonde hair was scattered on the floor.

Delia staggered as she tried to get up, vomited blood, and fell again.

The unknown binding magic was finally released.

Karin immediately aimed her crossbow and fired a bolt.

Thung!!!

The testicle monster casually flicked the bolt away with its tentacle as if it were a nuisance.

Karin gritted her teeth, took out a dagger, and rushed in.

“Haaaap!!!”

The Red Wolf tribe’s unique dagger technique shone.

Ssaeeeek!!!

A line was drawn in the air, and several tentacles were cut off.

Sweeper immediately wove dozens of tentacles together and struck Karin.

Bang!!! Bang!!! Bang!!!

Karin moved nimbly and avoided all the thick tentacles.

The floor made of flesh exploded.

Karin, who was moving quickly, slipped on Diego’s intestines.

“Ah!!!”

Karin staggered. It was a momentary mistake, but the price was fatal.

Sweeper didn’t miss the gap and sharpened its tentacle, stabbing it towards Karin.

Sseueeeek!!!

“Karin!!!”

There was no time to think. Jeong Yu-shin drew his single-edged sword and swung it.

Just before the sharp tentacle pierced Karin’s forehead.

Jeong Yu-shin stood in front of Karin.

Kwaaduk!!!

The tentacle tore through Jeong Yu-shin’s flesh, broke his neck bone, and then lodged inside.

[Revenger]

Engraving activated.

Blue hellfire blazed from both eyes.

Jeong Yu-shin raised his hand and grabbed the tentacle embedded in his neck.

Another tentacle struck Karin.

Bang!!!

“Aak!!!”

Karin floated in the air and crashed to the floor.

“Geureureuk. Kariin!!!”

I wanted to run to Karin and check on her right away. But I couldn’t move an inch.

It was already difficult to block the tentacle that was digging deeper into my neck.

Bang!!!

Barion rushed in and swung his warhammer.

The tentacle pulled out of Jeong Yu-shin’s neck and immediately aimed for Barion.

Bang!!!

Bang!!!

Barion desperately swung his warhammer. But it was not enough. He was hit by the rapidly approaching tentacles, crushed here and there, and thrown to the floor.

The tentacle aimed for Marie.

At that moment.

Barion threw his body with all his might to block Marie’s path.

Bang!!!

Barion’s body was smashed and scattered on the floor.

Marie was kneeling and staring at the carnage with a blank look.

“I… I.”

If I hadn’t been so greedy.

If I hadn’t missed Kaal so much.

If I hadn’t been fooled by lies and done such a foolish thing.

This wouldn’t have happened.

Extreme regret tore my heart to shreds.

“Ah… Aah.”

Before my eyes, a black-haired man was swinging his sword like crazy.

Even though he was pouring out blood from his neck, he was standing alone and precarious without wavering at all.

“I’m… I’m sorry.”

Marie murmured, shedding tears.

Jeong Yu-shin, who was swinging his sword, couldn’t hear Marie’s words.

Bbak!!!

When a tentacle struck his head, his helmet flew off. In an instant, his vision went dark and his sense of balance blurred.

Jeong Yu-shin staggered back.

He barely regained his senses and raised his head to see that the testicle monster’s eyes had narrowed.

‘Shit.’

This bastard is smiling. It was a smile that was so enjoyable he couldn’t stand it.

It wasn’t even paying attention to the people who were collapsing and was only targeting me.

It was as if a child was playing with a dragonfly, poking it here and there.

Dozens of tentacles flew towards Jeong Yu-shin.

I can’t avoid them all.

I have to give up what I can.

Bbak!!!

The armor bent and dented.

Jeong Yu-shin gritted his teeth and endured.

He unleashed all the swordsmanship he had learned so far.

He cut down a dozen tentacles. But countless tentacles grew from the egg. A fight that seemed to have no end.

Nevertheless, he did not back down an inch and swung his sword.

Bang!!!

A tentacle struck his shoulder. His shoulder armor flew off.

Bbak!!!

His kneecap was shattered. It doesn’t matter. I can swing my sword.

Bbaaak!!!

His left arm bone was shattered. It doesn’t matter. I have my right hand.

Jeong Yu-shin swung his sword like a demon and fought against the storm of tentacles.

How long had it been?

Sweeper suddenly stopped attacking and smiled. Its tentacles also shook grotesquely in time with its laughter.

“Kikikik! Amazing. Human.”

A tentacle pointed at Jeong Yu-shin.

“Courageous. Appearance. Looks good. Spare. You. One. Condition.”

“…”

“Your. Party members. All. Kill. Before me. Kneel. Bow. Then. You. Release. You.”

Jeong Yu-shin’s face contorted.

Bad taste.

It was urging him to abandon his humanity while standing in a superior position.

How far are you going to go to mock people?

He spat out a lump of blood that was rising up his throat.

“Kaaaaak!!! Thuek!!!”

Blood soaked the floor.

“I refuse.”

Jeong Yu-shin gathered magic power. A final gamble.

[Sacred Weapon]

Characteristic granted.

Gale Sword.

Jeong Yu-shin’s figure disappeared in an instant.

Slash.

The golden single-edged sword cut through Sweeper’s body.

“Kieeeeeeeeek!!!”

Sweeper was flustered. It’s not over yet.

Once again [Sacred Weapon]

Half-Ogre Gauntlet.

Kwaaaaaaang!!!

Sweeper’s body swayed and was pushed to the side.

Lastly.

[Sacred Weapon]

Gale Sword.

The target is right in the center of its head.

Just as the golden sword was about to pierce Sweeper’s forehead.

Thak!!!

Its right wrist was grabbed by a tentacle. Jeong Yu-shin’s arm could not move forward and trembled.

“Dare… Dare you!!! My grace. Ignore?!”

Several tentacles gathered at once and took the shape of a drill.

“Worthless thing. Die!!!”

Kagagagak!!!

The drill tentacle pierced the plate made by mixing mithril and tore through Jeong Yu-shin’s heart.

“Keuheoeoeok!!!”

Strength drained from my body.

The tentacle picked up Jeong Yu-shin’s body, shook it in the air a few times, and then threw it to the floor.

Thud!

Jeong Yu-shin, whose heart had been pierced, rolled across the floor and crashed into a corner.

Everything in sight flowed slowly.

“Ah.”

A panorama flashed through my head.

This won’t do.

It was a losing battle from the start.

All the efforts I had made to survive until now had become futile.

The stars of the universe formed on Jeong Yu-shin’s retina as his life faded away.

Death.

Am I going to die like this?

Am I going to give up and give in to an insurmountable wall?

A piece on the chessboard, a slave on the dice board who wouldn’t be strange even if he died.

A pawn and a piece.

A plaything that will die lonely without even having its name remembered.

Am I going to succumb to the evil of the labyrinth and disappear?

“Shi… Bal.”

Jeong Yu-shin trembled and reached for his sword.

A last struggle to die holding a sword.

At the very moment when the epilogue of the story was approaching.

A small ray of light pierced through the vast universe and struck Jeong Yu-shin’s heart accurately.

Ping!!!

An unknown alien force connected the Revenger and the Death Postponement engravings.

Ding.

A bell rang in my head.

Engraving Link Activation.

[Death Postponement]

[Revenger]

Jeong Yu-shin’s fading eyes blazed once again.

A force that flew in from the outer universe.

Is it the power of another Outer God?

Are you just enjoying watching from up there?

There’s a limit to even mockery. These bastards don’t seem to have any boundaries.

It doesn’t matter. I’ll show you.

The sword of a mortal.

He got up with a body that had been granted a postponement of death and grabbed his sword once again.

He tore off his broken armor and walked slowly.

The monster’s eyes were wide open. Its tentacles were even trembling from how surprised it was.

“Kigigigik!!! Ho… How?!”

“Kak thuek!!! You guys who roam the stars in high places. Witness it.”

In a corner of the other world, in a birdcage made of flesh.

The eyes of a man standing on the boundary between life and death blazed fiercely.

“There is a star that does not go out even on earth!”

The testicle monster went berserk and swung its tentacles.

“Th… This!!! No. Way!!!”

Dozens of tentacles rushed towards Jeong Yu-shin like a storm.

He held a longsword in one hand and a dagger of light in the other. He stepped forward like a gale with a dance-like step.

Bang!!! Bang!!! Bang!!! Bang!!!

He avoided all dozens of tentacles with godlike steps and reached Sweeper.

He swung his sword following the traces of the stars that his master had taught him.

He moved as if dancing, shedding even the blood that spurted from the cross-section.

“Kieeeeek!!! Stop. Stoop!!!”

Jeong Yu-shin, who had been dancing a sword dance with the monster’s screams as his song, suddenly came to his senses.

‘I have to stop.’

I began to worry about the remaining party members.

I’ll end it here.

Bang!!!

He kicked off the ground and jumped up.

Jeong Yu-shin’s sword shone for a moment.

Swordsmanship that can only be shown by someone whose brain’s limits have been released on the boundary between life and death.

There is no name.

Sswaeaaaaaek!!!

With one swing, several lines of light were drawn in the air.

More than a dozen tentacles were chopped into pieces in a single move and fell to the floor.

Sweeper’s eyes widened. It desperately tried to create tentacles, but it was already too late.

Jeong Yu-shin’s sword was embedded in Sweeper’s forehead.

Kwak!!!

He put his weight on it and stabbed it deeper.

“Kigigigik!!! Da… Dare a mortal!!!!!”

Sweeper’s voice contained an emotion that he couldn’t believe.

“This is the end.”

He thrust a spear made of light, piercing Sweeper’s forehead and stirring its brain.

“Kigigigik!!!”

Sweeper, who had been going berserk, immediately calmed down.

Subjugation complete.

The long, long battle was finally over.

Smash!!!

The universe-like background shattered like a glass window, and he instantly returned to the original room.

Jeong Yu-shin collapsed to the floor.

“Hoo. Shit. Seriously.”

Originally, it was a body that should have died, but he postponed death with Death Postponement and came back to life with the Revenger’s recovery effect.

He raised his head and looked around.

The party members came into view. Marie was also there, and so were the members of the Night of Death clan. They all seemed to have lost consciousness.

I had to take care of the aftermath as well.

Jeong Yu-shin barely got up from his seat and moved his body.

He gathered the party members in a corner of the room and fed them potions. He didn’t know what to do with Barion, so he just gathered the armor pieces.

Karin regained consciousness first, and then Barion woke up. Marie had lost consciousness, but her condition was fine.

He spent some time comforting Karin, who was crying and saying that she thought he was dead, by stroking her head.

Lastly, Delia was left.

“Ska.”

Delia barely opened her eyes and looked up at Jeong Yu-shin.

“Co… Closer.”

Delia said in a small voice as Jeong Yu-shin approached.

“I’m… I’m sorry.”

“It’s all over, so rest comfortably.”

“Th, that’s not it.”

Delia shook her head.

“My negative engraving is…”

Delia whispered something.

Jeong Yu-shin’s eyes widened.

“Wh… What?!”

“I, I barely held it in, but now it’s the limit. Pl, please.”

With those words, Delia closed her eyes.

Phudadaak!!!!!

The sound of something being unloaded resounded loudly inside the shelter. The source was Delia’s butt.

Jeong Yu-shin raised his trembling hand and turned Delia over.

The butt part of her pants was bulging out.

“Heo…”

Karin and Barion, who had approached at some point, looked down at Delia’s pants, which were swollen richly.

“…”

Everyone stood still, speechless.

And.

Something began to wriggle inside Delia’s swollen pants.

What is it?

A drop of cold sweat ran down Jeong Yu-shin’s forehead.

‘Wh… What kind of engraving is this?!’
