Episode 722: What awaits at the end (3)
It sounded like a small bell.
It was like the sound of a bell opening the dawn.
It is a guide that guides lions on the path to death.
It was also the arms of a mother who warmly embraced all those who mourned.
‘this… … ‘What is it?’
Salesin had a question.
I felt hazy, as if everything was floating.
Mental attack? no. It was something qualitatively different from that.
I looked at Ludger in front of me.
Ludger’s eyes were wide open after being stabbed in the heart, and his expression showed no change after that.
As if time had stopped.
fantasy? That wasn’t it either. The feel in my hand was definitely vivid. There was no way she couldn’t tell the difference.
‘But how?’
Immediately after, the world collapsed.
The flowing and melting scenery revealed what could be called ‘true reality’ beyond the curtain.
And Salesin was able to understand.
He said that it was Ludger who stabbed the sword, not him.
Ludger’s sword stick was stuck near his heart, which was overflowing with black dirt.
A sword stick that has a crow’s head embossed on the handle and looks luxurious just by looking at it.
It was unbelievable.
“What the hell is this… … .”
Without a moment to express his doubts, Salesin’s wings disappeared and his body fell helplessly.
Quang!
A cloud of dust arose and Salesin fell to the ground.
My body was still rejecting my will, as if I had just woken up from a dream.
After struggling, Salesin finally regained his senses and was about to get up when a silver chain flew out of nowhere.
Churrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
Silver chains bound Salesin’s arms, legs, neck, and torso and pinned him to the floor.
“What else!”
Salesin frowned. This silver chain was no ordinary chain.
What binds the soul and prevents it from going to the great flow.
Because it was a power that only a necromancer could handle.
“I finally got it.”
Setadel, who had been hiding until now and just waiting for this opportunity, spoke while holding a lamp in one hand.
“Cetadel!”
“You would know, right? “This chain is the worst match for you now that you are weak.”
A chain that binds the soul.
So what Setadel is aiming for is the soul that has been accumulated over a long period of time contained within this dangerous vessel.
However, no matter how Cetadel it was, it was not possible to easily retrieve or seal a soul of this level.
Even if it is as weak as it gets.
Quick! Pap-duk!
As if to prove it, the silver chains that bound Salesin’s body began to creak and crack one by one.
“You damn traitor!”
More fragments fell near the heart, widening the hole.
More black liquid overflowed.
It was so much that I had no idea where the body contained it.
At that time, Ludger landed slowly, flapping his black wings.
Ludger’s cold gaze looked down at Salesin.
It was a stark contrast to the situation when Ludger was imprisoned and first encountered Salesin.
Salesin looked up at Ludger and asked.
“What on earth did you just do?”
Instead of answering, Ludger turned his head to one side. Salesin’s gaze naturally turned in that direction.
There was Franz, holding a small black bell in one hand.
Clara Cowen’s adopted son and one of the Dreamwalkers.
A genius of dream magic who can rise to the position of master of the dream school if he puts his mind to it.
He who had not been seen until now has finally appeared.
“that… … !”
But it was not Franz that Salesin was surprised to see.
Salesin’s eyes were fixed on the black bell in Franz’s hand.
Although it was an ordinary bell at first glance, Salesin could feel the divine power flowing from the bell.
“Magnificent device! “How?”
What Franz is holding is one of the three sacred weapons possessed by Noksanna, the goddess of night and death.
[Lullaby] was another amazing song that was on par with [Nursely Lime].
[Lullaby]’s ability was simple.
It is overlaying dreams on reality.
Lullaby, as its name suggests, is a magical device that puts the other person to sleep and creates a dream that feels like the real thing.
A little while ago, I thought that Salesin had killed Ludger, and that was also a dream I had due to divine energy.
The owner of the dream did not discriminate between people.
Even though it was a monster that had accumulated filth for over 1,000 years, her kindness embraced him.
“There is no way I can handle Shingi in real life. “That too from humans!”
“I am no longer an ordinary human being.”
A golden aura shimmered in Franz’s eyes.
“I am the apostle of Noksanna, the goddess of dreams. A human who succeeded Nirva and became a new apostle. “In some ways, I’m in the same situation as you.”
“An apostle of Noksanna? Even so, bringing Shinki into this reality… … !”
“Yes, that’s right. That’s impossible. “With human power.”
Franz calmly conveyed the truth.
“I didn’t bring this up. “This is the last greeting that the Goddess made with all her strength before she fell asleep again.”
Before Noksanna, the goddess of dreams, fell asleep, she shot an energy across the deep sky of Dreamland.
Its identity was the magic [Lullaby] held by Franz.
“I had a hard time finding this. It could only be used once, so it could only be used at critical moments. But looking at the current situation, I think I wrote it well.”
The magic [Lullaby] just used up all its strength and slowly turned into powder and disappeared.
Franz pulled a long sword from his waist.
It was my first time pulling it out after receiving it from Surna, but the feel was familiar.
Because it was the same dagger used to defeat Nirva, no, it was much stronger than that.
A sword forged just for this moment.
Franz’s gaze turned towards Surna, who was lying in a half-corpse state in the distance.
Surna was staring at herself with her only remaining eye.
“Is this the promised day?”
Surna did not answer. However, those eyes filled with strong will said so.
Franz slowly approached Salesin holding a long sword.
“Your hand was played, and you were helped. I don’t hate it, but I can’t say I like it either. But those feelings are already gone.”
Stand tall.
Franz stood close to Salesin and held his long sword back.
“But we will fulfill the contract as we originally signed. “Because it’s a promise.”
Phew!
Franz’s long sword pierced Salesin’s wound.
The long sword trembled and flowed as if melting into Salesin’s body. Saleh shook his upper body loudly.
The chains binding my body broke one by one.
“Kaaaaaaak!”
Salesin’s eyes rolled back and blood rushed to his neck.
As the sword melted, the energy seeping into him was consuming his body and even his soul.
It was extremely poisonous. If I didn’t cut off part of my soul and vomit it out right away, the whole thing could be contaminated.
I’m crying!
Black sewage poured out of Salesin’s eyes, nose and mouth, as well as from the hole in his chest.
After spitting out the contents for a long time, Salesin’s pure white hair lost its shine and became dull, and wrinkles began to form on his face.
But Salesin’s eyes were even more glaring.
All the chains were loosened by the struggle just moments ago.
Salesin jumped up from his seat and rushed towards Franz.
“You! How dare you!”
Now was my chance, as my spirit had completely disappeared.
Franz didn’t even try to back down.
Before Salesin could question the sight, he felt a strange touch on his chest.
When he looked down, he saw that there was a disc stuck in the hole in his chest.
White letters were written on the surface of the original plate.
“uh?”
Salesin had no choice but to say those words without even realizing it.
It was Ludger who plunged the disk into the chest of Salesin, who was rushing towards Franz.
“Did you think there was only one miracle?”
Ludger, who had forgotten because he was focusing his attention on Franz, took out the Relic in his arms and plunged it into his chest.
Salesin staggered back.
He tried to pull out the relic with both hands shaking, but he only scratched its surface pathetically.
Relic’s pure white energy began to flow through Salesin’s body.
“AA AA AA!”
Salesin felt his hair turn white from the pain that burned his soul.
This was my first time experiencing pain like this. It felt like my brain was being held with an iron, bugs were biting it, and each cell was being ripped out.
“Uh, how… … !”
Salesin asked with a trembling voice.
“The device you destroyed was an object to activate this relic, no, divine energy. Now that you have destroyed it, it seems you have decided that you no longer have the means to properly operate this sacred device.”
That was the reason Salesin predicted victory.
“But you seem to be forgetting something. What is needed to handle this miracle is not just equipment. “I just needed something to handle the divine power contained in this sacred device.”
Salesin’s eyes widened at those words.
The pupils were trembling in disbelief, with many blood vessels bursting and black liquid flowing out.
“Originally, it was this Galaharad Fortress that had to handle the divine power. However, if you can contain divine power, anything else is possible. Like right now.”
Ludger calmly told the shocking truth.
In order to use divine energy, a vessel that could withstand that level of vision was needed.
The first one was Galaharad Fortress.
Now that it was broken, Ludger used Salesin’s body for the second time.
“Kwaaaah!”
Salesin extended his hand toward Ludger.
However, a pure white flame appeared at the end of his outstretched hand, which turned into pitch black ash and scattered with a rustling sound.
“help me! “Please save me!”
Salesin prayed.
“Don’t you know too! “If I had this power, I could become the god of this world!”
White flames erupted all over Salesin’s body and engulfed him.
It was a phenomenon that occurred when divine power overflowed to the outside.
“All you have to do is hold hands! Why are you giving it up! “You can stand above everyone and live as omnipotent as a god!”
Everyone watched the scene with bated breath.
Ludger spoke coldly to Salesin.
“I am human.”
“… … !”
“And I will always be human.”
The flame flowing through Salesin’s body became stronger and became like a homemade fire.
“no! “No way!”
“do not worry. I won’t spend the journey alone and lonely. “It’s a new device made for that purpose.”
The flame grew bigger and stronger.
However, the flame did not cause any damage to the surrounding area.
The flame that seemed to be expanding soon condensed around Salesin and turned into a pure white sphere.
And the top of the sphere cracked like a hatching egg.
A pillar of light rose high into the sky.
The ice dome created by Marias Selmore and Clinton’s magic circle were pierced by the pillar of light and disappeared in an instant.
The dark clouds that were revealed like that.
As the pillar of light pierced the dark cloud, the cloud tore apart and a large hole was created.
Beyond that was a pitch black night sky.
And the light pierced the center of the night sky.
Parching!
The sound of something breaking rang vividly in everyone’s ears.
Ludger looked at the scene and muttered calmly.
“An arrow meant only to pierce the heart of a being.”
The space hit by the light shattered like glass.
A being hidden beyond it has revealed itself.
“Um, what on earth is that?”
“This is crazy.”
“Am I dreaming now?”
Even Casey Selmore, who prided himself on having a strong heart after going through various incidents, felt his legs weaken at the sight that unfolded before his eyes.
The pitch-black sky is broken, and an imaginary space where we do not even know what exists.
Because beyond that, something huge, the size of which was difficult to estimate, was looking down on them.
It was whitish and looked like a giant overlooking the world.
The overwhelming presence of a giant.
Just looking at it gives me a distant feeling, as if my mind is going to be distorted somewhere.
There was so much information coming through the optic nerve that my head couldn’t process it.
Everyone instinctively realized what that was.
That’s God.
A terrifying being that goes far beyond humans.
Goddess Lumensis.
I was now seeing with my own eyes the god whom everyone revered as the god of light and father.
But Lumensis was very different from what I had heard.
He did not seem benevolent, nor did he feel sacred.
In fact, it was almost the opposite. He seemed like a tyrant and destroyer who wanted to rule the world and do as he pleased.
Beyond the broken space, Lumensis’ eyes turned towards this direction.
I was worried that if I just raised my hand and hit it like this, the entire continent might blow away.
At that moment, a pure white arrow pierced Lumensis’ heart.
It happened before Lumensys could react.
────!!!!
Light exploded.
It engulfed the entire Lumensis and filled the imaginary space, even tearing up the darkness beyond the sky.
Cheonggrang.
There was a sound of something breaking.
At the same time, people felt that something that had oppressed them since birth had disappeared.
It’s as if invisible shackles or chains have been lifted.
I looked at the sky.
The pitch-black sky burned with white light, scattering beautiful powder around.
Countless starlight filled the pitch-black sky where nothing was visible.
The starlight soon disappeared in the dawn.
“Look.”
Everyone looked at Ludger.
Over his shoulder, the sun was rising through the horizon.
Scarlet light scattered, creating a purple border between the navy blue sky and the blue sky.
The color of the sky, where nothing was visible, was colored with natural light.
Why?
It’s just an obvious sunrise that you can always see, but the reason why it feels so beautiful.
“This is what I give you.”
Ludger said while looking at the rising sun.
“It’s freedom.”
