Episode 034

The god of the other world, the lava giant Ignis.

Red lava was still flowing from the body of Ignis, who created the lava that filled this Abyss.

A giant who was cursed by an otherworldly god to have an endless flow of lava.

This guy was a hated being even among the gods of the other world.

No one wanted to get close to the lava that melts everything.

Just like Hephaestus, who was lame, Ignis also lacked something.

Ignis, a giant as lonely as Hephaestus, was very annoyed by the bugs that had awakened him from his sleep.

-You bastards… .

A tiny creature in his eyes.

Three small humans who were only up to his thighs were glaring at him.

Each person seemed to be holding a weapon in their hand.

“Ignis, I have come to kill you.”

A human holding an awl-like weapon smaller than his body spoke.

-What they say when they come to my area is that they came to kill me… . I don’t look like the god of this world, but do you think I’ll be killed by scum like you?

Despite Ignis’ earth-shattering voice, the three people did not appear to be frightened.

Does not matter.

He is not an old-fashioned bastard who fights with words.

Just trample on it.

Just like he did to other gods who looked down on him.

-I will kill you.

* * *

Ignis’ growling voice echoed throughout the lava cave.

“How are you going to fight?”

Lee Hyun asked.

Is it because of the battle that followed in the Abyss and the way it crossed the lava?

There was trust in his voice as he searched for me.

‘What if Lee Hyeon dies here?’

The weighing of Lee Hyun’s treatment and coexistence was still going on in my head.

But no matter how you weigh it.

‘I can’t imagine dying here.’

Ignis.

No matter how strong he was, he was eventually killed by Hephaestus.

To Hephaestus, who could not even become a full-fledged upper god.

Can Ignis really kill Lee Hyun?

‘If you can’t kill it, it’s better to trust it.’

Lee Hyun’s trust in me.

It will become a weapon that can take Lee Hyun’s life at any time.

I was convinced that it was worth more than killing Lee Hyun right now.

“Ignis’ lava is powerful enough to melt most weapons. “All the lava in this Abyss came from that guy’s body.”

“So you’re saying there’s no way to attack it?”

I shook my head at Lee Hyun’s urgent question.

“We will target the core within the lava of Ignis.”

“Nuclear?”

“Yes, the source of energy that sustains that massive lava.”

“It’s nuclear… . “Do you know the location?”

I do not know.

The exact location of the nucleus is not known.

At that time, all I could do was watch the battle from afar.

I just knew that it existed somewhere in my upper body.

Hephaestus’ countless weapons pierced its body, and when most of the weapons were melted by Ignis’ lava, the last sword was lucky enough to pierce its core.

Since he didn’t have as many weapons as Hephaestus, he had to find out while fighting.

“We have to start looking for it now.”

“… great. “You mean there’s no other way?”

“yes.”

Lee Hyun’s straight eyes looked at me.

“Then we should do it.”

“So, please get his attention from the front. “I will find out his weaknesses in the meantime.”

“All right.”

Lee Hyeon lifted up a huge spear.

The long spear, straight as his upright mind, was pointed at Ignis.

-You bastards!

A huge lava giant over 5 meters tall waved its arms.

He swung his hand wide, and the lava flowing from his arm melted the place where we were standing.

Chi-ik!

“Aaaah!”

I hugged Suyeon Lee next to me and stepped back.

“Suyeon, please stay a little behind.”

“Is there anything I can do?”

Her face, reddened by the heat of the lava abyss, was filled with determination.

You probably don’t want to just remain a nuisance.

At first, I tried to tell her to stay out of the battle with the power of a writer.

In the first place, she came along to observe and record this entire situation.

But from what I’ve seen of her so far, she was more proactive than anyone else.

Is it because of its appearance?

I said something I wouldn’t have said before.

“Do you remember the ice spirit breath I gave you?”

“yes. “He gave me two.”

“When I give the signal, throw the remaining one at his head.”

I gave her another one, Ice Spirit’s Breath, just in case.

I didn’t plan on using it like this… Anything is fine as long as I can kill him.

“Can I just throw one?”

“Instead, you have to throw it accurately.”

“are you okay. “I used to throw rocks when I was young.”

“All right.”

After giving her the final instructions, I ran to help Lee Hyun, who was facing Ignis alone.

“Than you think… “It’s too much.”

Lee Hyun shouted while sweating profusely.

Even though he had a body blessed by a god, it was not easy to deal with the god of this world alone.

Since he had not yet received a direct blessing from the Creator God, it was perhaps natural.

He swung his spear while avoiding the flowing lava as much as possible.

When I swung the spear, a huge wind rose.

Wow!

Surprisingly, the wind generated by his spear disturbed the flowing lava.

It was an exquisite technique that prevented lava from touching the window.

‘As expected, it’s significant.’

I crawled into Ignis’ arms through the gap he created.

And then he threw the breath of the ice spirit he was holding into his waist.

Paang!

The explosion and the chill that bit my skin gave me goosebumps.

-Quaaaaaaa!

At the same time as Ignis screamed, part of the bastard’s body turned black.

The ice spirit’s breath was a tool that turned the lava itself into a solid body, allowing it to inflict meaningful wounds.

The lone sword stabbed Ignis in his frozen waist.

It penetrated through the waist to the left side of the heart.

Phew!

The entire blade pierced the guy’s body, but the core was not felt.

-Cheeky bug!

Ignis swung his arm targeting me this time.

But is it because one side of the body is stiff?

The movements were unnatural.

thud!

I was just vaguely tracing where I was, but couldn’t reach it.

“Where!”

Lee Hyun stabbed Ignis through the gap that appeared at that moment.

His spear cut off one of Igni’s arms.

-no use. It is not a body that can be suffered by mere mortals.

The guy’s arm, which had not stiffened, grew again in an instant.

At the same time, new lava covered the body that had been hardened by cold.

I felt the heat again.

-The bugs are doing quite a bit. okay… . Then I can’t stay still either.

At the same time, the ground where Lee Hyun and I were standing split apart.

Kwaaaaang!

Lava spurted out.

“Cheet!”

Still, this is because he is a god.

It was a very difficult opponent.

If I widened the distance, the ground would crack and spew out lava, and as I got closer, I felt like my body would melt from the heat.

‘Now there are only two left.’

Considering what I’m using, there’s actually one thing I can use.

‘It ends with this blow.’

Once again, Lee Hyun caught his attention, and this time he went to his right.

Paang!

He froze part of the body with his breath and cut it with his sword.

This time too, no nucleus was felt.

‘shit.’

I searched my entire upper body, but I couldn’t feel the core.

So what’s left… .

‘head.’

The moment I came to a conclusion, I spoke to Lee Hyun.

“Please aim for his head.”

“You mean the head?”

“yes. “I’m going to check out how it moves.”

“All right.”

At my words, Lee Hyun rushed out and jumped out of his seat.

At the same time, a blow aimed at the head.

-You bastard!

Ignis swung his hand to block Lee Hyun’s attack.

It definitely looked different than before.

There wasn’t much movement, but he blocked Lee Hyun’s attack to protect his head.

Quang!

“Wow!”

Lee Hyun, who was hit by Ignis while floating in the air, rolled on the floor.

“Keuuuuu… .”

It was definitely different from what it was before.

“Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Lee Hyeon.”

“I’m glad it helped. Cough!”

As I approached Igni, I made him swing his fist loudly.

My operation.

Taking out the breath of the ice spirit in my arms.

-This guy does that trick again!

The moment it recognized me and attacked me, I shouted to Lee Su-yeon.

“Suyeon, now is the time!”

The breath of the ice spirit that Suyeon Lee was holding flew in a parabolic curve.

The guy who had his eyes on me didn’t recognize it.

A parabolic breath exploded from Ignis’ head.

Paang!

-Quaaaaaaa!

The guy started screaming.

There is only one thing left now.

Completely crushing the guy’s head.

Not with a knife.

Even a hammer is not enough.

A stronger blow was needed not only to rip off the guy’s head in one blow, but also to rip off parts that the blade could not reach.

A stronger blow.

I reached out and used the skill I had planned to use at the last moment, the most certain moment.

[Earth Explosion]

[The power of Hephaestus explodes, splitting the ground.]

Quaaaang!

-Okay… go!

Lava, or even solidified lava, is a part of the earth.

Part of the guy’s upper body, including his head, exploded.

When the head exploded, a red core located on the shoulder was visible.

I was convinced that lava was flowing.

That’s his heart.

‘Not with a sword.’

Even at this moment, lava was coming out of the core.

The sword will melt in an instant.

Then what’s left?

I touched the part where the lava had not yet flowed.

Chi-ik!

Lava leaked out and melted the armor.

[Earth Explosion]

Kwaaaaang!

At that moment, the nucleus exploded.

I held the remains of the exploding core in my hands.

Immediately after that, it was unable to overcome the force of gravity and fell.

The lava and stones that made up Ignis’ body were falling together with me, pulled by the force of gravity.

And my body fell onto the lava.

It was clear that if I fell like this, my body would melt into that lava.

‘I can’t help it.’

The last remaining breath of the ice spirit was thrown at the landing site.

Without this, it won’t be able to withstand the heat, but it’s better than melting to death on the spot.

Paang!

As the ice spirit’s breath exploded, the lava hardened black.

Land lightly.

“Whoa.”

“Are you okay?”

“Mr. Dojin, are you okay?”

Lee Hyeon and Lee Su-yeon came up to me and asked.

“it’s okay.”

Ignis was dead, but the strong heat still remaining in the Abyss warmed my body.

“Well, the body… .”

Su-yeon Lee said, pointing to my sizzling body.

“Oh, this is okay. “Once you get out, you’ll be fine soon.”

“Please at least use this.”

Lee Soo-yeon stopped him from letting out his breath.

Even if I can bear it, she won’t be able to bear it at all.

“Keep it. Soo-yeon Lee needs more.”

“all right.”

Lee Hyun, who was watching this, patted his hand.

“I captured the boss and attacked the Abyss. I don’t seem to see anything that could be called compensation… Let’s hurry and open the portal at the end of the Abyss. “If we leave, the Abyss will close.”

What Lee Hyun pointed to was the lava rock that Ignis was sitting on.

There will be a device over there that will open the gate that will take you out of the Abyss.

“I have something to do before that.”

I approached the still flowing lava, holding a piece of Ignis’ exploded core in my hand.

“What are you doing?”

Instead of answering Suyeon Lee’s question, I put the hand holding the piece of Ignis’ core into the lava.

“Aaaah!”

“Do, Mr. Dojin!”
