episode_0056

The state of old Pangea was very unstable. The world was cracked, space was mixed, and there was a hell in the middle of the plains. It was not as it should have been.

So early, even the proper omen was so terribly disturbing.

Needless to say, the structure became more unstable because of the intervention of the Goddess of Libra. The acceleration of the collapse, which was suspiciously fast and unnoticeable, was their work.

For that reason, this fight was a fight against time.

On that topic, the sight of the goddesses who ruined the world and then used their mean tricks until the end was so disappointing that I once believed in such things.

***

As soon as I got my hands on the dream again, the first thing I did was to prick Gabriel’s wings as much as possible to disable their function.

She was absentmindedly staring at me, as if she was concentrating hard on something. After my surprise attack, her wings were torn off, and she was pushed back, rolling on the ground. She soon came to her senses and summoned the Spear of the Divine and hurled it at me.

The goddess will kill Abel well, but who knows what nonsense Gabriel might do if I miss him. It wouldn’t be good to miss him.

If the original goddess’s escape attempt had not occurred, the Four Heavenly Kings would have done it, but in the end, the only one who could do it now was Rhea herself.

Let’s think positively. At least the angels are fighting the Four Heavenly Kings outside. Fighting Gabriel instead of the Goddess would take longer. While I’m holding out, Abel will kill the Goddess.

A slash, a spear passed through my clothes with a sound like it was cutting through the air. Oh, this wasn’t the time to be thinking of random thoughts.

It was a bigger spear than the one I had seen during the warrior party. It must have been hiding its power to hide the fact that it was an angel just in case.

Instead of making a big move to avoid it completely, he dodged lightly enough to cut his skin, then aimed for Gabriel’s neck.

She also dodged by leaning back slightly and then kicked me.

Likewise, the scenery that came into view as I rolled on the floor was something quite different from what I had expected.

“This damned bitch…!! Are you going to keep on messing around until the end? Ugh…!! Leah! I’ll somehow dismantle the barrier, so just hold on a little longer!”

A golden barrier seemed to be holding Abel and the goddess back. The two were in a state of exact confrontation, not taking a single step forward.

It’s an unexpected turn of events. Originally, the Four Heavenly Kings were the ones who were taking time away from Gabriel, but now it’s ‘me’, and in the meantime, it was supposed to be Abel who killed the goddess and absorbed her into the power source, but if the situation turns out like this-

The tables have turned.

no way-

Leah looked at Gabriel in front of her.

“The Truce of Saint Brigio. The holy sword he used, extracted from the power of the third warrior… no, should we say sanctuary? It has the power to confine a designated target and user to a single area where they cannot harm each other. ”

Gabrielle continued, smiling broadly, her arms outstretched, not even trying to hide her delight.

“A demon holding magic can never break the barrier, and only a warrior can enter the barrier and harm someone. It is a truly fatal technique. Because of the ‘compatibility’, it is impossible for the Demon King to break the barrier. On top of that, he has strengthened it with the power of all the other warriors! ”

Rather, I ended up being the one who had to deliver the final blow.

The tables have turned, and I, who should be somewhere on the sidelines of the story, am now getting all the spotlight.

Even though Leah herself was just a human, she was once a warrior. She could immediately tell what her opponent was thinking during battle.

Yeah, for example… right now… checkmate, that smile of Gabriel’s that confident smile.

“If he’s a monster that overturns the rules of the world, that Demon King hasn’t reached that level yet. The reinforced sanctuary itself is the rule of the world. Loser Leon.”

“Don’t call me by that name!!”

It’s a deception to tease us, who are caught in their trap, and to see our reactions, even though they’re troubling me and explaining everything one by one.

They deceived humans and the world they ruled, and their last move was full of deception.

Ever since the goddess despised us in the temple and toyed with my heart, my expectations of her were as thin as dust, and yet there was an abyss beneath.

“You are using an ugly strategy that does not even have the slightest honor. Gabriel. It is a strategy that scatters people who are trying to prove their existence and sail through the sea of life without even giving them a chance to face them directly. ”

“That’s because there was a big injury. Ah, but it’s still a shame. If it had been as originally planned, no one would have come at all, or if the angels were torn apart and the Four Heavenly Kings came, they would have just looked at the barrier and made a vain expression. ”

“This is why I… hate you guys. You ignore people’s will and treat them as if it were natural, and you cruelly play with people who are inferior to you for your own will.”

“Say whatever you want, because that’s what it’s going to be. In order to win this fight, I analyzed the Demon King’s thoughts, gathered the divinity where the warriors’ power resided to the extreme, strengthened the sanctuary, and even used the Goddess’s future as collateral. After this is over, you’ll be weaker than a human for a while…”

I guess that’s what they’re saying: we won’t be there in that future.

“At the very end, you lost the water fight. So, you planned your strategy well, didn’t you? The goddess is cruel, and once, you lost the water fight… but that doesn’t mean the god of the world is a stupid idiot.”

There’s no way I can just leave it like that.

“What confidence did you have to choose an all-out war? Even if the goddess lost most of her powers after a forced descent, she still has one last move.”

◦@…

Their first plan was to destroy the world while we were preparing for the wrong time period, and then leisurely escape, turning the world into a vending machine for divine power.

Secondly, when we charge earlier than expected, we will leave only the named ones behind as an army, and block the Four Heavenly Kings with angels. If the Four Heavenly Kings are blocked, Abel will be helplessly captured. If one of the Four Heavenly Kings breaks through the siege, we will use the unique combination of magic and holy power to hold them off until everything falls apart in vain.

However, for this plan to be realized, it was essential that the sanctuary be accessible to Abel.

Abel is clearly an irregular. He is at the level of the sixth Demon King, and is abnormally strong, incomparable to the original Demon King.

And because we know the nature of the Goddess, we thought of the Goddess as a cripple.

So, let’s push forward with an all-out war at once and have Abel, who is at the top of his power, quickly cut off the goddess’s head.

Being emotionally retarded doesn’t mean you have no brain.

In any case, it was a hypothesis devised to quickly leave the unstable world without assuming that the Goddess would abandon Pangea, the source of her power itself, but no, it was rather a strategy that happened to be effective, but even so, the statistics on the Goddess’ power were quite accurate.

If you are using the normal method.

Are you saying that you are using just a few warriors’ strength and the power of the goddess alone to develop the sanctuary and stop Abel?

If the goddess was truly the only god, it would be difficult for her to show off such great power by herself in managing a world supported by numerous gods. If so, even if it is not as great as that power,

And even if my heart is new, there is no way I can hold on to Gabriel, who is the closest and highest of the angels to the goddess, and Gabriel, who was originally supposed to be taken care of by the four Heavenly Kings, even though Lucifer was shining beside him and refining his light when Abel was Lucifer, and was the strongest and most outstanding.

That is, the goddess is now sticking a straw into Gabriel’s bone marrow.

That caught us off guard though.

But fate changed the tables.

It was I who came up here. Because of my relationship with Abel, I came up here to see the end with love and help him. I am human, so I do not have magic, and my holy power does not push me away.

And I, even though I am a former warrior, was once abandoned by them. If I know that power better than anyone else among humans, then it is not a big deal to deceive the sanctuary for a moment with the remaining scraps.

If it is an unstable sanctuary that has been forcibly amplified to maintain the sanctuary so that it can be communicated to Abel, it can be destroyed in just a few seconds. In that case, Abel will definitely kill the goddess.

Finally, at the end of the day, the main character of this story was me.

I, who became friends with the Four Heavenly Kings and was Abel’s only love. I, who listened to the stories of the demons and sympathized with them. I, as a human, was the one who told the stories of the demons.

If that’s the case, I have to somehow make this story a happy ending. My dear demons, to me. They were my demons who reached out to me when I was having the hardest time and loved me.

For my beloved demons, I hold onto my dreams and jump back in.

Just as we’ve cut down the bad blood of the warrior party so far, we just have to cut down Gabriel too.

however.

“Surely, there’s no way you’d give in that easily.”

visor!

The sound of weapons clashing against weapons is heard, cheerfully or coldly, as if a dream is being shattered.

A long spear is blocking the day of dreams. If the name of this sword is Dream, then the name of the spear made of that holy power is Despair.

Chaeng! Chaeng!

The sword swung diagonally once again clings to the spear shaft made of holy power. The spear shaft clings to the blade. Now, just as the evil relationships I had cut off with my own hands were clinging to me.

Kyaang!

Throwing a dream to distract the gaze, throwing her body only to be blocked by the spear once again, she becomes impatient. She turns 180 degrees around, shows her back, and holds the spear behind her so that the head of the spear faces downward, leaving no opening for her.

If the wing hadn’t been damaged in the first surprise attack, it would have been more difficult.

How much time is left?

Whisper, rustle.

Stepping on the ledge and jumping up, he stomped on the ceiling with great difficulty and accelerated downwards, completely cutting off both of his wings. Since his wings were already damaged, it would not only have no effect on the fight, but it was also a wound far from enough to kill him. He tried to stab him in the heart.

Abel’s rescue will not be possible without killing her. She will not be able to enter the sanctuary that the goddess has created, but she can kill me, who was left defenseless by deceiving the sanctuary, before breaking into it.

In the meantime, Gabriel gave his wings and gained distance again.

The distance between her and me is not narrowing.

“Now… about 1 hour and 47 minutes left? Can you do it within that time?”

No. Gabriel, who revealed his purpose and focused his energy solely on defense, was too strong. And I don’t have any movement skills.

“Then the game is over. Hehe, in the end, what matters is who wins at the end, right?”

no.

It is not a denial of reality. This heart is crying out with longing that it can definitely win. The pendant that Lucy once wore around her neck is now shaking.

Again, a strange certainty.

***

There is a reason why we must win this fight.

Funny enough, I’m not a warrior, but I’m a protector.

Because I am not a warrior, the sword I protect is the sword that kills.

Then let’s cut it down again and again so that I can protect what’s precious to me.

So that I don’t lose this friendship.

I’m out of breath.

A feeling of emptiness, as if you were sinking deep underwater and not being able to breathe, nor get any air or light.

The origin of the previous life is contained in this blade of dreaming and imagining.

In this one breath, everything is contained. Something that has been opened up is blossoming.

If the opponent brings the power of the warrior of the past, I bring the future.

Because the connections from the past to the present are supporting me. Because they are holding my hand and pulling me toward the future.

Before I knew it, I had a dream that it had become a little more extravagant and had a blue jewel embedded in the handle.

It must have evolved to fit ‘me’. That’s how it was originally made. According to the intention of the friend who made it.

And now I’m going to capture this black progress.

I surrender myself to the sea of life. I ride the current and move forward.

No matter how deep I sink into the ocean, I have no more anxiety. I have no more fear. Because I am confident on the path I am taking.

The road ahead will be filled with happiness.

I cut the evil relationship. I kill the last piece of evil relationship. That becomes the sword that protects.

Without hesitation, I moved towards the future.

***

The hand holding the sword advanced, leaped, and slashed.

The shape of water is engraved on my back, leaving an afterimage. The afterimage is like a wing. Before I knew it, my two feet had moved from where they were, past Gabrielle, and were a few steps behind her.

In an instant, as if I were the only one moving in a frozen time, I completely cut off Gabriel’s black neck. Whoosh, blood spurted out in a spiral from the cut surface of her neck.

And a step too late, Gabrielle. Her body slumped down only after my lingering scent had disappeared.

Rustle. Leah felt the pendant rustle. She pulled at the leash, but only the tip remained, and the original shape could not be found.

“This pendant… helped you awaken. I owe Lucy a lot.’

And then, time stopped. The handle of the Sword of Dreams is slightly cracked.

“…Ah. I only receive help from my friends until the end…”

“Uh…how…!!”

I walked past Gabriel’s body and right up to the sanctuary where Abel was being held. The sanctuary was slightly faded to purple at the edge.

My gaze did not even turn to the goddess who was whining and questioning with terrified eyes.

Because she’s not worth it.

“이건 반칙이야, 말도 안돼! 더러운 하등종족새끼들!! 전부 쳐죽여버려야했어! 씨발년들! 웃기지마, 웃기지마…! 이 내가, 천칭의 여신이 버러지들 따위에게!!”

“…Leah. You did my part too. I really don’t know what to say… I’m sorry I fooled you. ”

Perhaps Abel could have eventually dismantled the Sanctuary on his own, if he had had about five days.

It was a battle of time aimed at that, and in this Pangea, the fight between the masters was a proper life-or-death battle where time had no place, and the only problem was that the basic units were weeks to months.

The goddess’s noisy tantrums are silenced by herself, and light meditation begins.

When you look inside yourself, what you see is a beating black heart, a watery current of life filling your body, and golden pieces mixed in between the currents.

Pull out these golden pieces and wrap them around your body. Burn them without sparing even the last piece.

Whoosh, with a slight sense of awkwardness, I felt the last remaining strength being forcibly ripped away, and the remaining crumbs disappearing in real time.

Since I didn’t have much time, I went right in.

As the face, especially the pupils, passed through the golden membrane, a pudding-like texture enveloped the entire body, and the field of vision was filled with translucent gold. I made my way through the barrier and toward the center.

The goddess struggles to stop Rhea, but this is a sanctuary of ‘truce’.

Leah could only guess later that the FM itself, which does not discriminate against anything once it becomes a target, may have reflected the original owner’s nature.

I ran faster just looking at the nucleus in the center.

He swings his hands wildly. Clang.

The barrier was shattered, leaving behind only a faint sound.

That’s how it was from the beginning. The goddess.

and.

“AAAHHH!!!”

The moment the barrier was broken, the two took action.

The goddess tried to escape even if she had to crawl, and Abel drew his sword in anger.

The difference in class was already severe from the beginning, so how much more so now? The goddess’s limbs floated through the air and fell to the ground.

“Whew… That damn bitch is going to keep going wild.”

“Still, everything turned out well in the end, right?”

He replied lightly and took out the core Lucy had handed him from his bosom. This is the power source for the ship I built in my previous life.

…if you feed the goddess.

“Go away!! Where the hell are you touching that filthy thing!! No!!! How did I survive in that hell!!!”

Bring the core to the goddess who can do nothing.

“Don’t be ugly. It started with your karma and ended with your karma… At least feel a little bit of guilt about the people you’ve trampled on, even if it’s just for the end. That’s godly. ”

“Of course, even if you do that, you won’t be able to go to heaven or hell. You’re the one who destroyed this world. Hey, this is also your karma, isn’t it? Phew!”

Abel and I each said a word to the goddess.

“I don’t like it… ㅇ…”

With that, the goddess’s appearance completely disappeared, leaving only her core in the geography.

“Let’s go, Leah.”

“…Yeah!”

Without hesitation, I put the core in and grabbed Abel’s hand.

“Once we go to another dimension… Well, I don’t know. If we’re together, anything will work out!”

“Of course, Leah.”

Together, we leaped toward that clear sky.

Cutting through the cool air, spreading my wings and flying through the sky towards the ark.

Towards the future we have achieved.

Operation: Reverse, Success.
