Chapter 110 - Pitch Black With No Answers (6)
Shuri doubted his eyes.
The holy power bullet swirled, emitting light from Isaac’s hand. The originally fist-sized sphere changed to the size of a house and… Damn it, what?!
‘What the, that size!’
The size and quality of holy power bullets clearly differ depending on the amount of holy power possessed.
Shuri and the other priests were surprised by the size of the holy power bullet they were seeing for the first time. Just as they were wondering how such a size was possible, Shuri’s pupils wavered.
He had no choice.
That bastard wouldn’t have made such a holy power bullet to boast about how pretty it is. He must have made it to throw it, then… Wait! What?
Throw? Throw what? That thing?
He’s going to throw that?
No, wait!
At a glance, it looked big enough to sweep away an entire execution ground. If he throws that here now…!
The blood drained from Shuri’s face as he imagined the aftermath.
‘No, no, no! He’s also a priest, right? He won’t do that in a place like this!’
With so many people? Moreover, in a place with dignitaries, he won’t do such a senseless thing!
But contrary to that expectation, Isaac threw the holy power, now more a bomb… Damn it, that bastard really threw it!
Shuri’s vision turned blurry at the splendidly flying holy power bullet.
Of course, he didn’t throw it towards the crowd. The holy power bullet was driven into the ground like a slap!
Boom!!
Finally, as the holy power bullet touched the ground, it split and a huge explosion occurred.
“Aargh!”
“Aah!”
It wasn’t just a holy power bullet amplified by the Saintess’s power. The holy power bullet that split the ground spread like a typhoon, sweeping the execution ground.
“Hahaha! Die, you bastards!”
Is he a priest or a demon bastard?
Dust mixed with wind enveloped the execution ground.
Bangbangbang!
“Aah! I can’t see!”
“We’re being swept away! Hold on!”
Isaac, who turned the execution ground into chaos, grinned.
If he had his way, he wanted to throw the holy power bullet directly at the angel, but he had no choice this time. Anyway, what he needed now was the angel’s blood.
To save his subordinate, blocking the vision was enough. Well, it’s not like he doesn’t have other intentions.
Isaac’s mouth curled up in a grin as he headed somewhere.
On the other hand, the angel, whose vision was blocked by the dust, was flustered.
‘Is this the power of a Saint?’
No doubt. But the Saint’s power can’t be used by just anyone… The angel’s eyes turned extremely vicious at the thought.
It seemed he would have to thoroughly educate the Blue. How on earth are they managing the power that such a kid can handle the power of god so recklessly?
He’ll go to the Blue later and give them a piece of his mind…
‘No. Those dull bastards can’t even catch the Skeleton King.’
Murderous intent flickered in the angel’s eyes.
As a supervisor belonging to the army of the great main god, he knew well about the Skeleton King.
Of course, since it was a different generation, he had never directly seen the Skeleton King, but the upper generations had seizures whenever the Skeleton King was mentioned.
‘Just what kind of existence is he that they tremble so much?’
They don’t even say anything, just tremble.
Anyone could see it by looking at the generation that directly faced the Skeleton King.
‘They’re afraid.’
They hated the Skeleton King to death, but also feared that existence just as much. That’s why the lower generations couldn’t understand.
Of course, since he’s a 10th rank Demon King, he must have been quite strong to some extent.
But even so, isn’t he an undead skeleton, the most fatally weak to the holy attribute among Demon Kings?
With a bit of skill and proper strategy, no matter how much of a Skeleton King, he would have only been enough to give the gods a headache.
Anyway, to that extent, there was no way the Saintes could look pretty to him.
If the Blue people had done well from the beginning, the great gods wouldn’t have had to go through the trouble of directly summoning and sealing the Skeleton King.
Well, it’s a relief that the Skeleton King is strictly locked up in prison.
‘Anyway, I’ll deal with his damn subordinate.’
He’ll personally dispose of the Skeleton King’s remaining remnants.
The upper generations had seizures even in their sleep, saying ‘the Skeleton King’s subordinates are also not easy since they’re tainted by his power,’ but well.
He’ll prove that the Skeleton King and whatnot is nothing special.
Yeah… Prove…
Huh?
The angel suddenly trembled. A chilling sensation touched the back of his waist.
‘!’
With a startled feeling, the angel reflexively turned his head. But all he could see was dust.
‘What is it?’
No doubt.
Someone is watching him.
He didn’t know where they were watching from, but it felt like he was being watched from all directions.
A chilling sensation from the top of his head to his spine…
Swish.
‘!!’
This time it was his neck, not his back.
The startled angel hurriedly looked around. Rather than discomfort, it was a creepy feeling he was experiencing for the first time… What? Creepy?
The angel bit his lip and clenched his fist as if he couldn’t believe it.
‘Are you saying I felt creeped out right now?’
Just who is it!
At that moment, the angel, who was concentrating on his five senses, saw something reflected in his eyes.
Platinum blonde hair barely visible in the dust. The angel’s eyes turned vicious as he realized what that meant.
‘Could it be that kid?’
Are you saying I was creeped out by a human offspring right now?
How impudent!
Just as the angel was about to move to grab Isaac by the collar.
“Don’t move.”
-…!
“If you move, you die.”
A chilling voice touching the back of his neck.
The angel froze at that voice falling on his ears.
‘I can’t move my body.’
But that made it even more unbelievable.
The voice was clearly that of a child, but…
There was a sense of class in the voice. Like a transcendent sage who has surpassed time. Or in a way, like a god who uses tens of thousands of angels as chess pieces.
“You’re just a measly angel.”
Creepy.
The angel’s shoulders shrank. The vicious sneer seemed to press down on his head.
But it was only for a moment.
A fist flew. It was clearly a blow aimed at the face.
Smack!
-Kuak!
A fierce fist drove into the angel’s face.
Since it had a striking enhancement technique applied, the impact wasn’t absent. No, it was a strong impact enough to make his head dizzy for a moment.
‘Is this also the power of a Saint?’
The next fist flew.
The angel flinched at that power.
‘Strong…!’
Using techniques directly on a servant of god is taboo, but if he doesn’t block it, he’ll be the one getting hit instead!
Moreover, just the creepy feeling he felt earlier shows he’s not ordinary.
‘He’s just a human offspring at best!’
The enraged angel threw a blow to defend.
Bam, bam, bam!
Shuri and the priests nearby were startled by the loud thunder sound.
“Isaac!!”
In particular, Shuri, who was running, turned pale. As the master was attacked, the bound Sixth Demon went berserk like crazy.
But the angel who threw the blow wiped his sweat as if he had tried hard.
Well, since the power of the God of Retribution is lightning, the sound was loud, but he still restrained himself.
No matter what, injuring a Saint candidate would be subject to reprimand. As evidence, as the dust began to clear, the angel clicked his tongue.
-Don’t be surprised. I only nullified the Saint’s power…
“Kyaak!!”
…Kyaak?
The angel sweated bullets at the sharp screams of the dignitaries.
What? Why are the humans screaming?
“Oh my, what a terrible thing to do!”
…Terrible??
“Isaac! Are you alive!”
Why are the faces of the priests running over pale?
But soon the angel looking at Isaac had no choice but to doubt his eyes.
…So, uh… something is strange.
He was sure he only offset the Saint’s power, so why is the kid covered in blood?
Uh… huh?
But Shuri held the collapsed Isaac in his arms and glared at the angel as if he would kill him.
“How can a messenger of god use murderous techniques on a servant of god!”
…What?! Murderous techniques?!
He didn’t know what this meant, but the collapsed Isaac coughed heavily.
“I… I stupidly misunderstood the noble messenger of god as a demon, that’s why.”
“Isaac!”
“It’s my own fault, so don’t get angry. Cough! Cough!”
As Isaac even coughed up blood, Shuri seemed to have his thoughts halted.
At that sight, the angel’s face became even more clueless. No, there’s no way he would cough up blood? More importantly, where did that blood come from?!
But the eyes of Kina, who was applying a healing technique to Isaac, changed.
“It’s strange. There’s no way messengers of god would use murderous techniques on priests.”
Chilly.
The eyes of the priests who rushed over were cold.
In fact, Shuri seemed enraged.
That’s because, even if he was a messenger of god, he was from the faith of the God of Retribution, the Red faith. In other words, he was beaten up by someone else’s god, so there was no way he would be pleased.
No, that was beside the point.
“Isn’t it too much for the strong to bully the weak!”
-!
The angel felt wronged.
Weak! What about the overwhelming presence he felt earlier!
Kina also added fuel to the fire as if pissed off.
“The Red faith is low-class.”
Naiser, who got beaten up together while minding his own business, was dumbfounded.
“Why us?!”
“If it were our Gold god, he wouldn’t do that.”
“What the hell, man?!”
“As I thought, I’m better suited to be the attendant.”
Is this guy in his right mind?
But Kina glared at the messenger of god suspiciously. That’s because only gods can punish humans.
“For a messenger of god to use murderous techniques on a servant of god, it’s impossible. Murderous techniques are only allowed on demons.”
-No. I have never used murderous techniques.
“Then why did this kid collapse while bleeding?”
-That’s what I’m curious about instead?
“More importantly, why did an unscheduled messenger of god intervene in the execution?”
-What?
The angel’s face stiffened as he immediately realized something from Kina’s words.
This guy, could it be.
“Eshua said it. That the demons only didn’t attack that angel.”
-…!
In fact, that was Isaac’s doing. But the angel, who had no way of knowing that, had no choice but to feel wronged.
-Hand over that kid. If we investigate that kid, the answer will come out.
All the keys must be with that kid.
Moreover, the angel was concerned about the energy he felt from Isaac earlier. For him to feel creeped out, it was almost impossible unless it was a demon.
-I will take him to the God and investigate…
But then.
The collapsed Isaac slowly lifted the corners of his mouth.
Seeing that smile, the angel suddenly felt a chill down his spine. And a moment later. An amazing thing happened.
Clang.
With the sound of chains being released, a vicious magic power soared.
A power incomparable to before shook the execution ground.
Boom!
The suffocating demonic energy destroyed the ground, pillars, and walls. The execution ground instantly turned into chaos with roars and screams mixed together.
“Oh no! The seal on the Sixth Demon has been released!”
“What?! Why is it released!”
“Wasn’t there a restraint of the divine realm on it?”
Damn it, what did you say?!
The Sixth Demon has been released?
‘Damn it, that kid isn’t the problem.’
If we lose one of the Fourteen Demons, it’s over!
We had to deal with it right away.
Just as the flustered angel drew his sword.
The angel froze.
His back felt chilly. He could tell without looking. The released Sixth Demon was flashing his eyes behind his back and… Damn it, what?!
And perhaps because he was enraged that his precious Master was touched. The Sixth Demon, with an ominous demonic energy, said one vicious thing…
[Thank you. Thanks to your plan, I was able to escape.]
…Wait. What did you say?!
But before he could retort, the hand of the Sixth Demon covered the angel’s face.
