chapter 464
465 – Appearance
Although the space seemed to have been cut, Raelan’s body was surprisingly intact. But Raelan was so embarrassed that he immediately pulled back and hid behind me. Raelan, who was glaring at the leader with heavy breathing, calmed his excitement and spoke.
“The terminal with the devil… It was completely cut off. “The leader of the cult already knew that we would use the power of the Demon King to attack him, and he found a way to use Shinsal to make the Demon King leave.”
“That can’t be… .”
The word Shinsal was not unfamiliar. I knew that it was a mission left to Estelle’s clan, and that it represented the highest level of assassins that the clan’s founder, the Farel family, had reached. It was also the fundamental reason why the information guild, Modest, was created.
I never dreamed that the cult leader would use it.
“But it looks like the cult leader also paid the price for using Godslaughter.”
As Raelan said, veins were clearly visible all over the cult leader’s face. The leader, who was biting his lip as if he was holding back pain, stood up and put on a wriggling mask as if he were alive again. Then he opened his mouth as if he had regained his composure.
“Hehe, did you think you were the only one who wrote novels?”
I grabbed the spear at the question, which was almost mocking. Our plan went completely wrong. Ellie quickly noticed that things were going strange and she joined us with Mormot.
“This is a story that has been repeated by countless people I have met. To me, your struggles are just a cliche. Ross, who joined hands with the Demon King, has already faced many enemies. Of course, finding a way to respond is not that difficult for me as a writer.”
I could feel my colleagues becoming agitated. However, even if the Demon King is absurdly ejected, everything is not over. Because I have the ‘Window of the World Tree’ left behind by the saint.
The religious leader, who thought he had won, told us.
“Are you trying to fight against me in vain even though you know that this world is a fake created by me? Are you hoping that another me will save you? “The attempt to open your eyes and dream is truly pathetic.”
I immediately responded to the leader’s words.
“You too are a copy of the original, right? “I’m sorry, but in the end, no matter how hard you try, you can’t help but be a fake.”
Perhaps because the religious leader’s words were an insult, the chaotic energy shattered the road surface around where the religious leader was standing.
“You still don’t know, isn’t the answer you’ve been looking for giving you the answer? “The whole thing went wrong because the expendable extras who should have been sent out long ago were still alive.”
I burst out laughing at those words. No matter how powerful it is, it is still another country.
“Do you now think of yourself as a god? “I think it’s just that puberty came too late.”
「… .」
After mocking the cult leader’s words, I took out the World Tree Spear from the space warehouse and spoke to my colleagues.
“I will deal with the religious leader. “Please just block Confsion like before.”
Everyone nodded and followed my words, pointing their wands at the Confsion that surrounded us. Ellie, who had her back to me, spoke over her shoulder.
“Ross, it’s going to be okay.”
At Ellie’s consolation, I smiled bitterly and rushed straight towards the religious leader. As a signal, magic and sword energy were rampant everywhere, the road surface was shattered, and magical energy was scattered everywhere.
Kwaaang―――!
He pierced the explosion right in front of him and suddenly threw the spear of shadow he had created with his empty hand. The leader, who lightly blocked the javelin with his chakram, twitched one corner of his mouth.
“What did you say to me… ? Did you say you don’t think you’re better than Roel? Hehehe. “How does it feel to be so deceived by a liar?”
As if everything that had been pushed against me was just smoke, the leader radiated chaos from his heart and eliminated all spatial coordinates around him. Then he doubled his chakrams and began to attack with the power of chaos.
“Did you think you were the only one who lost something and became stronger? I lost everything I had. You emptied everything to gain everything. “Okay, do I still look inferior to Roel in your eyes?”
Although I cannot use space magic, I have also grown tremendously compared to when I used to rely solely on space magic. Using pure spear skills alone, I was able to easily push back the cult leader who was trying to push forward, taking advantage of the fact that the weapon had a longer range than the chakram.
After taking a quick look at my surroundings, I dodged the chakram that suddenly flew at me and drew on the power of the World Tree’s spear. The dark light of destruction flowing from the spear blade made the cult leader realize what kind of weapon I was using and did not hastily try to attack. Taking advantage of that, I poured in a barrage of attacks and pushed the sect leader further and further back.
It’s not that I was pushed out of power. The leader was blocking the attack and waiting for an opportunity to launch a fatal counterattack. But this time, my aim came first.
Percussion-!
「… !」
The golem, whose legs were shattered and was rolling around on the floor, grabbed the ankles of the cult leader who had been pushed close to him. The cult leader quickly tried to smash the golem’s arm with the energy of chaos, but the magic stone bomb placed inside the golem had reacted to the magic contained in the shadow spear I threw.
Kwaaang―――!
An explosion erupted from the golem along with a huge explosion. The cult leader was able to withstand the power of the explosion by hastily creating a shield with the energy of chaos, but he reacted too late for me, who was already right in front of me.
“This bug… !」
The cult leader hurriedly swung the chakram, but the World Tree’s spear was already rushing toward the cult leader, spewing out the light of destruction. Pushing away the chakram containing the power of chaos with the power of destruction, the spear blade reached its destination, the heart of the religious leader.
Fuuuk―――!
The leader, whose heart had been pierced, remained motionless. The wriggling mask also stopped as if its life had been extinguished. The moment I was sure of victory, I quickly retrieved my spear and pulled back out of a strange sense of anxiety.
What I stabbed was an elaborate illusion created by the power of chaos.
“Still, you’re quick-witted.”
In an instant, the cult leader appeared next to me and swung his chakram to cut off my head. I quickly used my intangible breath to get out of the way and used the power of destruction to put the World Tree’s spear, which needed rest, back into the space warehouse and materialize the spear of shadow to counter the cult leader’s attack.
With the spear blade and chakram touching, the religious leader came closer and twisted his lips towards me.
“Handling chakram is the cult leader’s setting. “It’s not my real strength.”
The moment I finished speaking, I was momentarily blinded by a flash of light coming from my eyes. He hurriedly swung his spear to widen the distance, but felt something solid block the spear and used his intangible breathing to prepare for the coming attack by distorting space.
However, there were no attacks. When I regained my sight, I found the leader quietly smiling and watching me. The leader, who had already experienced space distortion, knew that his attack would not work, so he deliberately consumed my power.
The leader, who was scratching the area around his ears, laughed mockingly.
“You’re making a fuss.”
Is it because I’m from another country that they know me so well? Or is it the experience of dealing with Ross from countless other worlds that gives him the upper hand? Grinding my teeth, I raised my magic power to push away the chaotic energy that was blocking the window and cut down the cult leader.
Kang-!
Already considering being blocked by the chakram, I struck the spear in succession and put one leg forward to try to push the pontoon back. However, the cult leader freely used the two chakrams and the energy of chaos to use an anomalous attack and was not pushed back at all.
No, on the contrary, it spewed flames from its mouth, causing large burn blisters to appear on the fingers that were holding the spear. Because my blood was boiling from the excitement of battle, I didn’t feel much pain… The cult leader, who freely used chakram, magic, and the power of chaos, was a formidable enemy.
“You can clearly see that you are embarrassed.”
“Are you even gloomy now?”
“Every Ross has the same behavior of trying to hide his true feelings with lies and ridicule when the situation is unfavorable.”
The cult leader threw out two chakrams filled with the power of chaos. I lowered my body as if I had collapsed and pulled my body to the side, guessing that the chakram that passed by would come back like a boomerang. As expected, the chakram turned sideways and returned to where I was standing.
However, rather than catching the chakram that unexpectedly returned to him, the leader chose to take something unknown from his chest and throw it at me. I instinctively hit it as it approached me.
The chakram that returned like a boomerang grazed both of the cult leader’s forearms, causing blood to flow, but the cult leader didn’t care at all and was focused on what I had hit.
Grumbling―――!
When it touched the surface of the spear blade, it exploded and something like a huge bubble poured out. The foam that flowed down to the hand that was holding the spear and spear holder hardened like a hard stone, and my arm fell to the floor, unable to withstand the weight.
thud-!
“This is the end of our struggles. Extra. Now, become the material for my story.”
Seeing the cult leader swinging chakram at me, who was trapped in a bubble, I used space distortion to not give up until the end, but the chakram filled with the power of chaos ignored the space distortion and headed straight for me.
I didn’t close my eyes. Really, if the cult leader’s attack fails, we have to counterattack immediately somehow. But there was no one who could help me. Ellie realized that I was in danger, but since she was dealing with the pontoon leader and the Carters at the same time, there was no time left to help.
“Ross!”
But even in that situation, Ellie took her own risk and chose to ignore the magic of the pontoon master and Carters to help me. Turning her body in front of her enemy, her Ellie’s arm exploded under Carter’s magic, but her Ellie’s magic flew out to block her cult.
“It’s already too late!”
Chakram containing the power of chaos flies towards my neck without hesitation, breaking through Ellie’s powerful magic.
The moment I felt the thick energy of death reach my throat…
A white flash came out and separated the religious leader.
“sorry. “It’s a little late.”
A lycan appeared who decided to join us.
And you’re not alone…
“… “Chief!”
With the Messiah members.
