Became an Academy Spearman - Chapter 782
782. [Western Front] – Humanity’s Strongest Man (58)
***
Western Front.
Beyond the basic front line, where most officers and soldiers stand, there is a danger zone called the red zone.
From this space, only high-ranking officers with proven abilities could perform missions, and the number of officers who could adapt to the harsh environment of the red zone was never large.
And there was a deep space beyond even the red zone.
-Dark area.
A zone full of death where only a very small number of people (less than ten people), including Anastasia, the main force of the Western Front, can perform missions.
In fact, all of the officers who died here received great attention in the past and were evaluated as having a promising future. However, even those who were so outstanding met a very meaningless death in this dark area.
Crack! Crack!
Wow!
An untimely ‘blood festival’ was taking place in such a dark area.
A second-class apostle and crystal troll that is hard to find even in the red zone.
In the dark zone, it shows strength equivalent to level 1 with a dark crystal body rather than level 2, but the troll was constantly ‘predating’ on something through its red colored eyes.
Surprisingly, it was the ‘Golden Ogre’, also called a first-class apostle.
A very small number of rare species that appear in the process of ogres, which are considered mutants among existing individuals, being reborn as apostles.
And if you think about the huge difference in status that exists between a semi-first-class apostle and a first-class apostle… … .
Wow! Wood clack!!
It was even more impossible for a crystal troll to indulge in the corpse of a golden ogre.
Crrrrr… … !!
The crystal troll, stained with the gold ogre’s thick blood, even exploded with light, creating an even more grotesque atmosphere.
“Hmm… … .”
It was that moment.
A very small human-like being appeared next to a crystal troll the size of several floors of a building.
The crystal troll looked at the suddenly appearing creature, but then looked back and began feasting on the corpse as if it had not seen it.
A movement that seems to satisfy endless hunger.
And the red-haired man who was watching it shook his head.
“Is even this a failure? “I haven’t gotten that strong.”
The sound that came out of Sekhmet’s mouth was an extremely light one.
However, it resonated so clearly in the space even in a dark area where even most sounds were buried.
Grumble!
Immediately afterwards, with the sound of vivid flames burning the space, the corpses of the crystal troll and golden ogre all turned into a handful of ashes and flew away.
Tuk. Tuk.
Sekhmet lightly waved his hand and frowned.
It was so disappointing. And I was dissatisfied.
ㅡMethod of evolution.
If I could find even a trace of a huge evolution that would fill me, I could be sure.
‘The evolution of the nine apostles that Eusilia hopes for… … .’
I thought it was impossible, but when I found out the reality, it wasn’t just impossible.
It was even more so because I was feeling how enormous the power that Eusilia had recently given me was. The moment you catch the trace, you can also complete the power to seal Anastasia.
It is a completely constructed seal that is completely different from the previous seals.
“Eucilia told me to focus only on killing Han Tiansheng.”
Sekhmet slowly turned his head and looked into a very distant space beyond the dark area filled with only darkness.
There was a huge fortress that seemed to block the entire space called the front line.
There will be Han Tiansheng, who is currently receiving a lot of attention from Eusilia. And in order for me to access that space, I couldn’t achieve anything without the exclusion of Anastasia, the main player.
“… … “It’s a totality of absurd energy.”
And the fact that that was the energy emitted by just one human made me laugh out loud.
An unknown energy that most beings cannot even feel. However, because it could not cover the entire fortress, it spread out in all directions.
If you approach a little, if you are within range, it will appear immediately.
Extreme cold that will freeze the entire space.
And it seemed like an even more bitterly cold person would appear and stop me.
This was like a kind of ‘foreknowledge’ through Eusilia’s power.
As long as I leave the dark zone and approach the red zone, Anastasia will definitely appear.
Yes, it was definitely true.
“… … .”
He paused for a moment and shook his head.
There is room.
There is also time.
I’m even seeing obvious possibilities.
So, there is no problem.
“The humans chosen by Azazel, who hated humans so much, and Anastasia, who can be called the strongest of humanity, coexist… … .”
Just thinking about it filled my heart with excitement. At the same time, a strange smile lingered on my lips. There were two huge goals in front of me that seemed to erase all the dullness and boredom I had experienced so far.
Jerk.
As I walked forward, I took a deep breath of heavy air.
[Eucilia.]
Afterwards, I concentrated my mind and called Eusilia.
[…] … What is it?]
Darkness, like a faint resonance, occupies a corner of my mind. And that felt even more ecstatic to him.
‘This is the power of subordination.’
Having received power from Eusilia, it is impossible to escape its influence. I felt once again how huge the impact of the dependency relationship was.
[No special support is needed. I just want to sacrifice Bastet.]
What Sekhmet said was a kind of ‘taboo’ type of word.
They become nine apostles and try to lead the other nine apostles to death by breaking the oath they made with each other.
However, I was able to request that without hesitation.
He had realized it now.
[…] … What is the basis?]
[Anastasia’s complete construction and strengthening of the sealing barrier]
Han Cheon-seong has no difficulty in killing humans if it is his true power.
The biggest problem was ‘Anastasia’.
In the past, a leader named Redrick Petelea even burned his own soul, leading the other nine apostles, Ophanil and Angelea, to death.
That showed the great danger of the main axis.
If a human sacrificed his soul in exchange for power, he could even manifest transcendental power beyond what was assumed to be the human being called the main axis.
And in that sense, ‘Anastasia’ was different in itself. If she were willing to die, more than half of her nine remaining apostles would have to risk her death.
Anastasia is a person who can easily be called the ‘strongest’ of the current human race.
[…] … What are the chances of success?]
Even Eusilia, who possessed prophecy, could not predict the future based solely on Sekhmet’s thoughts. And that fact made Sekhmet feel a little joy.
‘A future that even Eusilia could not imagine.’
He will grab it.
[About 60%. You can’t be completely sure. However, it would be a very cheap price to pay for sealing Anastasia.]
In the past, when trying to seal Anastasia, the sealing technique was completed by adding a little bit of each of the nine apostles’ powers.
But even that wasn’t enough.
Rather, it ended up causing an unfortunate event that made Anastasia have a stronger body.
So now.
A stronger price was needed.
The power that reaches the source of the nine apostles must be offered as a sacrifice, with the restriction that it must only be ‘sealed’.
[…] … When the time comes, I will send Bastet to you.]
Eusilia’s permission was given later.
Sekhmet nodded his head thoughtfully and expressed his thoughts one last time.
[As expected, Eusilia, you had no restrictions in the contract between us]
Asking for Bastet as a sacrifice now was both a necessary request and a test. And even though Eusilia knew what Sekhmet meant, she did not deny it.
When there was no resonance of darkness, Sekhmet let out a faint breath.
“… … “Are you saying that everything was played into Eusilia’s hands?”
They dreamed of a future world in which humans would be exterminated as equals.
But the truth was nothing more than Eusilia’s will. As Eusilia had hoped, the other nine apostles acted like puppets.
And the nine apostles who inherited the power have no choice but to know.
‘An influence so powerful that it is difficult to refuse subordination.’
I feel the endless darkness that the power of just one apostle, Eusilia, may be stronger than the other nine apostles combined.
however… … All of that didn’t matter now.
“Azazel.”
If Azazel were still by my side, my thoughts would have been completely different.
But the moment Azazel betrayed us, I no longer had any regrets about living as an apostle.
“If you’re going to burn everything anyway.”
Wouldn’t it be the most beautiful thing to burn the entire world and disappear?
Even though I was laughing, I accepted even more deeply the darkness that had taken over my whole body. Now, there really isn’t the slightest feeling of rejection or heterogeneity.
I calmed my mind by fully accepting Eusilia’s power.
“And a person named Han Cheon-seong is definitely… … .”
It won’t kill you nicely.
I don’t know how they managed to appease Azazel, who hated humans, but it will make them regret being born in this world more painfully than anyone else.
It will engrave on your body that there is a hell more terrible than the seal.
***
Morning of the 16th day of the front line.
Cheonseong was leaving the barracks as if it was natural.
I became part of Leria’s unit that executed only first-class apostles within the enemy wing. And the very next day he set out on his first mission.
Even seasoned veteran officers find it difficult,
To carry out the ‘first-class apostle mission’.
Good!
Cheonseong’s eyes cooled down as he moved across the ground.
ㅡ!
A strange alarm bell rings in my heart.
‘What the hell… … ‘What is this?’
It was difficult to even straighten my mind because a strange, hallucinatory sound lingered in my ears.
From the moment I woke up this morning, a strange alarm bell has been ringing in my mind. And at that alarm, my instincts sense an endless sense of crisis.
Nothing that can be seen or felt as energy is dangerous.
My body was strangely tense.
“Han Tiansheng, have you completed your knowledge of the Apostle?”
“yes. “I completed everything without missing anything.”
“Yes, I think you’ll do well, but you can’t let down your guard. Even at the moment of executing the apostle, collecting it, and returning, you must never relax until you leave the red zone.”
Listening to Lieutenant Leria’s voice colder than the winter wind, I strangely tried to get my mind together.
“I’ll keep that in mind.”
First, I had to focus on the given mission.
I don’t know what this unknown, unknown sensation is… … .
