Chapter 150: Outside, Battlefield Of The Gods (6)
Mantra was flustered, like a mortal. As if he were a being with a finite lifespan, living a once-in-a-lifetime existence.
The appearance of Lakiratas here meant it was a significant event.
[You shouldn't be able to descend to this place!]
[Did you really believe that?]
Lakiratas mocked Mantra.
[Did you think we couldn't crush you, that we were only watching because we lacked power?]
Lakiratas presence overturned the world. The entire expanse of the battlefield became his domain.
[It's not entirely wrong. It has been that way until now. Until now.]
[...Divine Expulsion!]
Mantra gritted his teeth.
Taesan had expelled gods from this place. As a result, the number of gods had now been reduced from ten to just two.
Originally, there wouldnt have been a problem since gods kept coming in, but Taesan resolved it quickly in just two days, creating a gap.
The power of the gods from outside of the Labyrinth had weakened enough for them to intervene.
[But!]
Mantras body shone. Simultaneously, his presence extended in all directions.
[This is our domain. Even you, responsible for strife and death, won't win easily!]
[Let's stop this uninteresting act.]
Lakiratas laughed. Like an adult placating a childs tantrum, Mantras energy scattered.
[It's obvious what the outcome of a fight among us would be. It's not interesting.]
[]
Lakiratas seemed uninterested in fighting. Mantras vigor also gradually diminished.
[What do you propose?]
[There is your saint here.]
Like the gods Taesan had dealt with, Mantra must have brought his saint to this place.
[Mortals should deal with mortals' matters. Don't you think it's fitting?]
[Are you suggesting a duel between your apostle and my saint?]
[He's not my apostle.]
[What?]
Mantras eyes shook.
[For someone who's not even an apostle, you've come here 'because'?]
[Do I look like a god who cares about such things?]
Lakiratas laughed. Mantra remained silent in apparent agreement.
Lakiratas was a remarkably free-spirited god compared to his rank. Even the gods from outside knew that well.
Lakiratas turned his gaze to Taesan.
[Of course, we should also consider your opinion.]
It doesnt matter to me.
Taesan nodded immediately.
To come this far and end it with a fight between gods. There was nothing more anticlimactic.
There was still much to gain. He had no intention of ending it before obtaining it all.
[He agrees.]
[...Fine.]
Mantras eyes shone ominously.
[I'll make you regret this. I'll use your toy as my plaything.]
[He's not a toy, but... think whatever you want.]
Mantra had disappeared at some point. Lakiratas laughed lightly.
[He's quite impatient.]
Hes more emotional than I thought.
Taesan murmured. Mantra had easily shown emotions like anger and confusion.
Thinking about it, the gods of the Labyrinth werent different. They expressed their emotions directly.
[We were once mortals. We ascended to a great position and became transcendent beings. To us, emotions are very precious. They are special things that alleviate the tedium of eternity.]
Lakiratas spoke calmly.
Thinking about it, that made sense.
The current gods were all once mortals who rose to the rank of immortals, hidden only by their immense power.
The only exceptions were the ancient gods.
[I look forward to it. The time when you, too, will ascend to this position.]
With those words, Lakiratas vanished.
As the encompassing power dissipated, Taesan let out a small breath.
Im still far off.
He never uttered the word impossible. His goal was right there, so there was no need.
The gods were once mortals like Taesan, so he, too, could reach that level one day.
Taesan clenched his fist.
The next day, Taesan headed towards another god.
This time, it was a spirit god born from the Source of Spring. Thus, spirits, not humans, warmly welcomed Taesan.
[Die!]
[Enemy of the spirits! Become ash!]
All kinds of nature fiercely attacked Taesan. It was a clear and different kind of enemy than before. Defending against all of them, Taesan murmured.
I wonder how theyll react.
There must be a spirit god in the Labyrinth as well.
It was uncertain whether they would like or dislike Taesan, who had annihilated the spirits.
Even with aura infused, the sword couldnt penetrate the light armor and glanced off.
Just as in the realm of spirits, the rank of the apostle prevented Taesans attacks from landing effectively.
Crack!
Taesan swung his sword to create distance.
Cain attacked fiercely.
The god he believed in, the splendidly adorned Sword God, didnt match Cains swordsmanship, which was rough and aggressive rather than flashy.
Clang!
Taesan was busy defending.
Using the force of the pushback, Taesan created distance and swung his sword.
His arm throbbed, but it didnt hinder his swordplay.
Is this your level?
Lets continue!
Alright. Lets see.
Crack!
Taesan was preoccupied with blocking Cains sword. Although his swordsmanship was superior, his attacks couldnt reach Cain due to the disparity in strength and the rank of the apostle.
Clang!
Taesan was sent flying back. He regained his stance upon landing.
It seems you havent received the grace of a god. Then you cannot defeat me. What a pity,
Cain confidently declared this, not considering his own defeat.
Taesan got up.
I dont believe in gods.
Thats unfortunate. To devote oneself completely to a god. Theres no greater joy.
I hate that.
He had come here on his own will.
Not because he believed in someone or devoted himself to someone.
Cain smirked.
Then youll be buried in the ground believing in yourself.
Well see.
Taesan muttered, putting strength into his sword hand.
The recent fight had shown him something.
Hes not a proper apostle.
[They forcibly infused him with power to kill you, despite him not having the proper rank.]
The ghost scoffed. To him, who had seen apostles in the Labyrinth, Cains level was quite insignificant.
[If he's an apostle, then all those Guides are apostles too.]
This should be enough.
[You have activated Apostle Transformation[Lakiratas].]
Power descended upon Taesans body.
Red light swirled in his eyes, enhancing everything. Strength, speed, and even his rank.
Cain hesitated.
What?
I got the gist of it.
Taesan stamped his foot. He swung his sword as before. Cain hurriedly blocked.
Clang!
Ugh!
Cains arm was pushed back, astonishment in his eyes.
You said you dont believe in gods!
I dont believe in them. This is just something I received.
What nonsensical talk!
Cain exclaimed in denial. He swung his sword hastily. The sword, soaring high as if to pierce the sky, then plummeted towards Taesans head.
Taesan swung his left arm. The moment it collided with Cains sword, he twisted his arm to deflect it.
Hup!
Not to be outdone, Cain twisted the arm holding the sword and thrust it straight at Taesan. Taesan tilted his head to dodge and thrust his sword forward.
Crack.
Argh!
[You inflicted 202 damage on Cain.]
Cain groaned in pain.
Kuh!
Unlike before, Cain created distance.
Taesan immediately charged in.
The duration of Apostle Transformation was 10 minutes. He had to finish within that time.
Thats why he had deliberately taken time to understand Cains movements.
The assessment was complete.
All that was left was victory.
And Taesan still had no intention of ending his plan.
The God of Self-Proof was trampled with proof, and the God of Mystery was dealt with using magic.
Even the spirits were annihilated using spirit magic.
The opponent was an apostle of the Sword God.
So, the choice of what to use was clear.
