Chapter 269
Episode 269
[Crazy…!!]
Sang Sang frowned at Namgung’s gesture and threw him to the floor while holding him.
Quaaaaang――!!
With a loud roar, Namgung was thrown to the ground and the armor surrounding him shattered.
Chiiik….
The broken pieces of armor began to burn, emitting smoke with great difficulty.
[I can feel my soul dying. Now there is nothing to protect you.]
“I can still fight.”
[It’s miserable. People who don’t know how to give up are not courageous, but foolish.]
Sang Sang said while looking at Namgung who was staggering.
[Why do you blame us? Through Carnival, not only you humans, but all mortals have made history. In that history, countless developments were made and your culture was able to blossom.]
Sang Sang continued speaking.
[This carnival was the same. If you had simply survived and won according to the rules of the carnival, you could have received much more reward… You woke up Ran and Wu, saying that you would end the carnival and make the Aspects disappear.]
Kuddudddud…
The Aspect is Nangung with his hand. When I pointed to his body, his body slowly emerged.
chin-!
When he snapped his fingers, Namgung’s body flew towards Sang Sang.
“Tsk…!!”
Sang Sang grabbed him by the collar once again.
[As if that wasn’t enough, he made Lin and Lu come out of this world, which ultimately resulted in completing me.]
Sang Sang growled in a low voice into Namgung’s ear.
[You are the one who ruined this world.]
“We can fight…”
Sang-sang
gritted his teeth as if he could no longer bear his words.
[You damn bastard…!! Why on earth don’t you give up? You know what I want from you…!! Please pray for my life. I mean, get down on your knees and hit your head!!]
“Kukkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk… That’s all the greatest god wants? Clearly… you are not in full form. No, he cannot be called a god.”
[…What?]
“At best, you are nothing more than a monster created by Ran and Wu.”
[How dare you…!!!!]
Sang Sang threw a fist at Namgung with a distorted face.
[Stop giving up!! Why would you fight a fight you can’t win? Did you really think you could beat me?!]
“I can fight.”
[…?]
At that moment, Sang Sang felt something strange.
It occurred to me that what Namgoong had repeatedly said so far was somehow not what he was saying to himself.
“…yes? “Suya.”
Jeok… Jeok…!!
It was then.
Cracks began to appear in the Aspect’s right chest.
[…What is it?]
The figure of the phase was greatly shaken by a numb pain I had never felt before.
“Let’s not lose. never.”
Namgung closed his eyes at that moment.
A ray of light rose from a crack in the Aspect’s chest.
[Nonsense…!! why? The human soul…!!! It hasn’t disappeared yet, right?]
Sang Sang could tell that the light coming through her body was Su-ah’s soul.
The light grew bigger and bigger, and surprisingly, Sang Sang’s skin, which had been immune to Namgung’s attacks, began to spread wider and wider.
[Kaaaaaaagh―――!!!]
Sang Sang screamed as if in pain.
He hugged himself with both arms to close the gap in his chest that was slowly widening.
But despite his best efforts, the light flowing through the gap was becoming more and more intense.
At the same time, he realized.
That this power that torments oneself is not simply due to the human soul.
[Damn Lin…!! It was your fault!!]
Damn…! Damn it…!
At that moment, the phase’s chest opened and the light that leaked out enveloped his body like a stem.
[okay. that’s right. You are neither Ran nor Wu, but you are a narrow-minded phase that is not even a complete phase.]
[Shut up…!! I’m sure he must have eaten it…? I would have chewed it, broken it into pieces, and swallowed it! Why are you still alive!!]
[What you swallowed was not my soul.]
A voice was heard in the light.
The voice was very sad, and there was hot anger in the sadness.
[What?]
Sang Sang’s eyes wavered.
And then I remembered what Namgoong said a little while ago.
[no way? What I ate was the soul of a lowly human…?]
[My revealer is noble enough to be described as lowly. So much so that not even you could notice.]
As if answering his words, a halo of light flickered.
Namgung closed his eyes at that sight.
‘Let’s calm down…’
The faint warmth felt in the cold phase dimension felt as if it belonged to my wife.
He took a deep breath and calmed his trembling heart.
‘thank you. ‘Suya.’
The soul that Namgung took out when entering Sang Sang’s body was not simply Lin’s.
His wife’s soul hidden within Rin’s soul.
And just as Sanggye was about to eat Rin’s soul, his wife’s soul enveloped Rin’s soul.
Since she was Rin’s revealer, she naturally also had Rin’s energy.
That was why his status was deceived.
He thought the soul he devoured was Rin, but it was Su-ah’s.
Thanks to this, Lin’s soul was able to avoid being absorbed by the Sangha.
Conversely, the phase that absorbed the human soul was bound to be even more imperfect.
Therefore, rather than a complete phase, a completely new phase was born.
A god whose desires are even stronger than when Ran and Wu were combined.
Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo…!!
The light emanating from the Aspect’s body became a chain, entangling his limbs.
[Put this aside…! Let go!!]
Every time the Aspect struggled, the chain began to glow as if absorbing his power.
[It would be better to give up. The more you struggle, the more the chains will eat up your strength.]
[I…! [It’s just something…!!]
Sang Sang roared at Rin.
[Give up. The chain is the only intact phase power left in this world. Because you are imbued with human power, you will never be able to break the chain.]
Rin said to him.
[Damn it…! You deceived me until the very end!]
Sang Sang looked at Namgung while grasping the chain that was slowly wrapping around him.
[Namgoong. Put an end to it. Only you are qualified to end this festival.]
At that moment, Lin’s soul flew into Nangong’s palm.
Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
his round soul stretched out and took the shape of a sword.
Kwaak-
Namgung grabbed the sword.
The moment his hand touched it, an aura surged onto the blade.
[You cruel human being… You even sacrifice your own wife to win. Is this really what you want?]
Sang Sang looked at Namgung approaching towards him and said in a low voice.
[Tsk tsk… People will praise you as a hero. But in the end, you killed it. I mean your wife.]
[There is no need to listen to him. Like you said, all of this was her plan.]
“I know. “Now I can’t be swayed by those words.”
[Don’t be proud. You will suffer forever. Even if I disappear…! This will be the last curse I give you!]
Kwajik-!!
At that moment, Namgung’s sword pierced Sang Sang’s chest.
[Kaaaaaaah!!!]
The sword was stuck exactly in the core of the phase visible in the open chest.
Twisting…!!
Namgung twisted his sword.
And the twisted blade shattered as if glass had broken. Numerous fragments began to explode and explode within the phase’s body.
Particles of light emit light and disappear as if exploding firecrackers.
“The festival is over. “You damn bastard.”
Namgoong closed his eyes.
* * *
[Thank you.]
Namgung slowly opened his closed eyes at the sound of the voice he heard. The world was breaking apart here and there, like pieces of tile falling off.
A light source visible behind a piece of the fallen world.
“I should say thank you to Su-ah. “Because it couldn’t have been accomplished without her.”
He shook his head slowly.
[Yes, without her sacrifice, this would have been absolutely impossible. I owe her so much…]
The shattered particles of light gathered together to form the shape of Rin.
[I can’t say it’s repayment of the debt, but… I’ll at least get you back.]
Rin slowly waved his hand in the air.
Crackling… Chicking…
Then a small passage was created in the light source visible in the distance.
[The inside of Wisdom’s body is like one dimension… If you can connect the dimensions, you can create a door.]
Namgung looked at the swaying passage.
[But this place is disappearing. My power is also disappearing along with this world, so it is unclear whether the end of the passage will be safe.]
“So?”
[If there is a power that can replace dimensional power, the passage can be maintained.]
“It is a power that can replace dimensional power…”
[In other words… it must be the soul.]
Where did Rin end his words? stared at.
He was now talking to someone other than Namgung.
[It’s a nice sound to hear.]
At that moment, I heard Leoric’s voice.
“…was he alive?”
[It’s kind of funny that they asked if he was alive when he was dead to begin with. Well, luckily, it hasn’t been destroyed yet.]
Leoric’s image was even more blurred than Lin’s, as if he had exhausted his power in the battle with the Aspect.
[You promised, right? No matter what happens, I will bring you back. I will keep that door even if it costs my soul…]
Leoric pushed Namgung’s shoulder.
[good. My daughter is waiting.]
“….”
Namgung walked toward the passageway Lin had made without saying a word.
[Thank you.]
As if saying their final goodbyes, Lin and Leoric looked at Namgung and nodded.
“well. “I’m not finished yet.”
[…What?]
But Namgung chuckled at them who had made up their minds.
“When the festival is over, adults usually put a balloon into each child’s hand.”
[What are you talking about?…]
“Even if it’s a damn festival, there are gifts.”
The two looked at each other with puzzled expressions at Namgung’s words.
“Benefits of status.”
It was the only gift given to humans at the carnival.
[But it’s all over. I guess it was thanks to that that we were able to defeat the last monsters?]
“Well. As far as I know, there must be a status that hasn’t given a gift yet.”
[No way…]
Lin’s voice trembled at Namgung’s words.
“Lu(淚).”
A human from the beginning and a being who inherited the power of the Palgakjeon instead of Namgung and rose to status.
▶ The light of the beginning opens.
Golden light began to flow through the passage created by Lin.
“I never give up on anyone.”
At that moment, Namgung stretched out his hand towards them.
