Chapter 466: The Direction (2)

 

“That will be tough.”

Prometheus, who had fallen to the floor, said, and the expression on the monk’s face looked quite sad.

“This is all pointless. Countless lives are being lost meaninglessly. Is this freedom so great to do that? With so many sacrifices?”

“Shut up….”

Prometheus struggled to get up. It was so severe that a part of Trinity seemed damaged, and some parts of his body were visible.

Seti also judged that they didn’t have a chance of winning this fight.

-This is a dog’s death.

They were fairly honest words, but they truly fit this situation. With Prometheus’s current strength, it was impossible to defeat the old monk. He knew the old monk was strong, but the power he used was a lot stronger than he imagined.

Even Promethus’s greatest spell, ‘Dark Sky, Dark Wind,’ didn’t work. To think that it was once a technique that even killed a God.

‘Damn it.’

Prometheus, who had risen from the floor, looked at the monk with weary eyes.

He was sitting cross-legged in the air and holding a human figure with his hands. It was a disgusting sight to see since the human was him.

Prometheus unfolded his spell again.

“I will shatter the mask of your filthy hypocrisy.”

“Haha.”

The monk held out his hand in front of him with a sad smile.

“I plan to make you as comfortable as you can be as a salvation.”

Prometheus’s eyes widened. He moved to the side, using all of Trinity’s skills, but it was impossible to avoid the attack.

“Kuak!”

-Additional damage to armor 4%.

A part of Trinity disappeared, and his flesh could now be seen.

“Void. Everything is futile in the end.”

“Say those words to your master!”

[Expand the spell]

Prometheus stamped the ground with his foot. As the magic circle unfolded, countless thoughts came to his mind.

As he outstretched his left hand’s index and middle fingers, he aimed for the monk.

[Launch]

As the magic got compressed at his foot, it moved to the tip of his finger and was shot at the monk. Despite that, the monk didn’t feel the need to evade it.

The spell was scattered in the air as a transparent protective shield composed of powerful sermons was spread around.

“One cannot interfere with a monk’s chants.”

To put the result simply, it meant he lacked strength.

But he had no intention of giving up. Didn’t he tell Jamie?

He told him he would take this God down, so Prometheus moved again and unfolded a great spell.

“I do not like you people at all. I will make sure to beat you down to a pulp!”

[Black Heaven]

Black mana, which was as thick as ink, began to spread around Prometheus.

[Dark Wings]

Dark wings that seemed to have rotted away spread out. The darkness created by the spell began to unfold through the space around him.

“That again? It didn’t work, though.”

-He is right. 24% less attack power to break through the enemy shields.

It was 6% less than when he first used it.

It meant that Prometheus was tired, but he wasn’t going to give up. No, he would knock this opponent down.

“How long did you think you could live a noble life by killing everyone else?”

“This monk had a good talk with Ra. Let’s end this now.”

“Don’t say nonsense! If you wanted to talk, you should have done it before the war started! Stop pretending to be nice and kind. You, people, are dirtier than anyone else in the world.”

“It seems it’s difficult to convince you.”

“If you want to convince me, you will have to kill me.”

[Other World: Dark Heaven Ritual]

The space turned dark, and a milky way unfolded in the sky. The monk could see that the ground he was on was damp and muddy.

“It seems like the path to the underworld. But…”

He undid his sitting position and put his feet on the ground. As he put his hand on the ground, light softer than willow spread around in circles.

“Not the time yet.”

[Another World: Bodhi Tree]

A tree grew. That was all.

A tree clustered up small red fruits and slowly cracked. But the aftermath it created was not so small.

-The world begins to collapse.

Prometheus saw the Dark Heaven crumble. It was destroyed in the same way Jamie had destroyed it in the past, but Prometheus’s face wasn’t stained with hopelessness.

Even though he couldn’t make another move because his spell was blocked, he watched the world collapse.

-Avoid it. If you get engulfed in the other world of the enemy, you cannot escape from there.

In particular, when the enemy was above him like this, it would be tough for him to escape.

The gap he could feel now was already too much, and if he got caught in the opponent’s world, the fight would end.

Then why did he stay and not run away?

No matter how much he promised Jamie, it was better to survive than to keep his promise. That was what Seti thought.

It was at that moment…

“Did it.”

-Uh?

Prometheus raised his lips. Was he laughing at this hopeless situation? Did the guy go mad?

Seti asked in a puzzled state,

-Are you out of your mind?

“Something similar. I wouldn’t have tried this unless I was crazy.”

-You have something prepared.

Even though Seti just made a connection with Prometheus, he managed to know a few of his techniques but not everything.

Then Prometheus moved both of his hands into a sign.

“I can never defeat him in an all-out war. I just need to find another way, but it cannot be the usual one. So I did some thinking.”

Based on his past experiences, how should he react when he faces a similar situation? For Prometheus, three years was the right time to find a solution. And fortunately, he managed to find it.

It was a high-risk gamble, but to defeat a stronger enemy, one had to risk their life.

“The strong normally ignore the weak. So they don’t pay much attention to their feet.”

That was why he was trying to force them down blindly.

“They don’t even assume that the world can be adversely affected.”

The wind blew somewhere far away from the Bodhi Tree. The Black Heaven Ritual was blue, and most of the sky had disappeared.

“It is done.”

Feeling the breeze move, the monk said to Prometheus, who was surrounded by darkness.

“My last offer. Give up. Come to our side and help change the world.”

“That is the problem. You only know yourself. You believe you can lead the world on the right path, and you believe that you are the only right truth and justice. So you change and manipulate everything that lives on land to your liking.”

“How come you don’t know that it is inevitable?”

“Which is why you people cannot stay any longer. I will make sure to bring you, people, down somehow.”

“Words won’t work anymore. You brought this on yourself.”

The monk stretched his hand out with a sign and began to recite an unknown language. The Bodhi Tree swayed once with such strong energy.

“The man you follow will never suppress Ra. In the end, history will repeat itself.”

“To the one who doesn’t even know how Jamie Welton has lived or how he lives now.”

Prometheus landed on the ground and spoke with a contorted expression.

“You speak so carelessly with that filthy mouth.”

“Let’s just end the conversation here. Come on.”

Roots began to grow on the ground and wrapped themselves around Prometheus’s body.

He tried to resist, but the roots began to grow into a huge tree and ate away his strength in an instant.

“I hope you become one with the tree and live forever.”

“No. That cannot happen.”

“Even if you are angry, nothing will change…!”

The monk couldn’t finish his speech. He turned his head and looked at the Bodhi Tree with frowning eyes.

“How did this…?!”

“The power of experience.”

[Dark Heaven Ritual: Self]

The Bodhi Tree rotted.

“I have been thinking a lot. How can I aim to bring back the other world I created if it is destroyed? It isn’t an easy problem. It’s a matter of entering on the premise that the opponent is stronger than me.”

The red, ripe fruits turned black and began to fall one after another.

“But you don’t have to think about the whole thing.”

Prometheus looked at the tree that was 50% more rotten now, and said,

“Just some. You only need to corrupt a small part of it. Even the slightest stain on the world you created will stain the world.”

The magic Prometheus learned was poison, and just a very small amount of poison could kill an opponent.

“It is done.”

“It is shocking. I didn’t think you would have such a trump card hidden. But what?”

It truly took a lot to make the Bodhi Tree rot. It was such a considerable hit to the monk that he didn’t expect it to happen.

However, if one asked if it was fatal, it wasn’t.

“There will be no mercy greater than this. Do not resent.”

“That will be a problem.”

The monk frowned.

Prometheus raised the output of Trinity to the maximum.

-Breaking the limit at 120%. Duration is one minute. The body cannot bear to handle more than that.

Hearing Seti’s voice, Prometheus said,

“You are too arrogant.”

The monk felt the sensation of his legs fading and lowered his head to see both of his legs stained black.

He didn’t realize it until then.

“There is no way you would be fine if even the tree was damaged. What do you think now?”

“Haha. You.”

The monk’s calm expression distorted like a demon’s.

“I tried to let you live, but you are so desperate to kill me. I will chew you down and kill you in a painful manner. I will not forgive you, even if you beg for your entire life.”

“Finally, your true nature is coming out.”

The darkness that surrounded his legs began to speed up. In an instant, it moved to his dantian and reached the nape of his neck.

The monk hurriedly chanted a sermon to purify the poison, but it was impossible to stop it. It was because the Bodhi Tree had rotted away.

“It is your defeat that made me like this.”

“Kuak-! Then you will live forever as slaves! Jamie Welton can’t defeat Ra! Kuakuku! Never, never!!”

“Still.”

Prometheus raised his hand with his index and middle fingers touching each other.

“But you will not be there.”

“You worthless bastard!”

The monk disappeared like poison, and when the owner of the world vanished, the world began to crumble.

He had to escape quickly, but Prometheus didn’t move.

Looking at the collapsing sky, he told Seti,

“Sorry. For not returning you to your Lord.”

He had no energy left. Even though he defeated the monk, he was destined to end here.

So pathetic.

Seti said,

-I knew it would end up like this. But why speak nonsense? Is this also a concept character?

“…let’s think so.”

He thought of Jamie in the world.

‘Please get it done.’

Bang!!

Sword and spear collided violently.

The two were pushed the same distance without adding or taking anything out. Ra turned the spear gracefully and pressed it against his back.

“You are paying for half the soul of the greatest swordsman ever.”

Sarah Welton.

The human who troubled Ra in the first world. And in this second world, half of her soul was given to her brother, so she couldn’t do much. However, thanks to that, Jamie managed to learn amazing feats with the sword.

It was time for the two to clash again.

Jamie, who was startled, suddenly looked to the sky, and Ra asked why.

“How can you distract yourself?”

“…”

Jamie didn’t answer. It was just a feeling, but…

‘Prometheus.’

His and Seti’s energy just vanished.

Died.

He clenched the sword that he held. Prometheus went up against the monk despite knowing it would be difficult. He was stubborn, but Jamie also wanted to trust him.

‘Looks like the opponent has been defeated too.’

Jamie closed his eyes for a moment to pay respects to his departed colleague, and Ra said,

“Huhu. Sad that your colleague died?”

Ra said while putting the spear over his shoulder.

“Such a funny feeling.”

“…funny?”

Jamie, who opened his eyes, asked with an expressionless look, and Ra smiled while waving his hand.

“Don’t make such a scary face. You died too. A lot of them have already died, and this is just another one.”

“Your men died together.”

“He is more competent compared to others, but if he died, then that is all.”

“Is that all?”

He didn’t even want to get angry anymore. His desire to live had decreased. He was just a guy who acted like this.

A monster who ignored everything in the world and did whatever was necessary to get what he wanted.

All of the killing intent vanished from Jamie. Ra tilted his head at Jamie’s sudden change.

“Have you lost the will to fight? Why do…”

It was that moment.

“Just die.”

With that short statement, Jamie’s blade attacked Ra.

And Ra couldn’t read that move.

“…huh?”

Ra rubbed his neck with his hand, and a cold feeling spread as his throat was touched by the blade.

Blood came from his hand. If he had been a little late, his head would have been cut off.

Thinking about it made him a little creeped out. Ra saw Jamie standing in front of him with his sword raised.

“Wonderful.”

He couldn’t feel anything from him.

No killing intent, no rage, no sorrow.

There were none. Just an empty feeling.

No, there was only one thing. It was his determination to kill, even though he had no choice.

“A creature that should have never lived.”

Ra felt a chill rise.

“Right. This is it.”

And soon, the end of this world would begin.
