Episode 391

bang!

Zeon, who was lying asleep on the sofa, opened his eyes at the loud noise that broke the silence, and Levin, who was in the room, also ran out in surprise.

Two people opened the window and looked outside.

Flames were rising from far away.

“Over there?”

“It’s Dongdaemun. Looks like there’s been a fight again.”

Levin frowned without realizing it.

“The aftereffects of the collapse of the church are huge.”

“There’s nothing we can do about it. Everyone is greedy for Dongdaemun’s hegemony.”

“I sometimes wonder if they killed John for nothing.”

“Don’t worry about it, it’s not your fault. It was something you had to go through anyway.”

“okay!”

Zeon smiled bitterly.

Dongdaemun was now at war.

With the loss of the focal point called John, the ambitious people who had been hiding for so long rose up.

The chaos in Dongdaemun reached its peak as clashes broke out between priests belonging to the existing religious order and villains and scavengers from outside.

Because of that, fights were breaking out in Dongdaemun every day.

It all started when Zeon killed Johan.

Dongdaemun was currently like a no-man’s land.

Now was the only chance to become the owner of Dongdaemun.

Many people risked their lives and jumped into the fight because they never knew when another opportunity like this would come.

That was when.

Boom!

Another explosion occurred in Dongdaemun.

This time the explosion was much more powerful than the previous one.

The vibrations were so strong that they could be felt even in Zeon’s house, which was far away.

Levin’s expression darkened.

“I think it’ll be like that all night long tonight.”

“Hoo!”

Zeon let out a sigh and suddenly put on his robe.

“Why? Brother!”

“I thought it was wrong to sleep, so I decided to go and take a look.”

“Why?”

“okay!”

“Then I will go with you.”

Levin also gathered up his clothes and put them on.

The two went out together.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

At that moment, explosions were occurring one after another in Dongdaemun.

Levin said with a bitter smile.

“It’s worse than usual.”

“It seems like the fight is particularly fierce today.”

“Tch! What kind of power is that that makes you risk your life like this?”

“That’s right.”

As soon as I entered Dongdaemun, the air changed.

The air was filled with hostility and murderous intent.

It was evidence that a fierce battle was taking place.

Zeon and Levin walked to a place where they felt a particularly murderous intent.

A fierce battle was taking place there.

“Die, you dog of the church!”

“That fucking kid… … .”

“Kyaaah!”

Awakened ones who fight fiercely and curse.

One side was wearing the priestly garb that symbolized the religious order, while the other side was made up of Awakened people dressed in the attire commonly seen in the slums.

They fought so fiercely that their entire bodies were covered in blood.

Around them, the corpses of the Awakened who had already lost their lives were left abandoned like trash.

They were fighting so fiercely that they couldn’t even collect the bodies of their comrades.

Among them, there was one who particularly stood out.

It was a man who swung a large battle axe madly and attacked the priests of the sect.

Phew!

“Ugh!”

The priest of the sect who was hit by his axe fell down screaming.

Then a priest nearby stabbed the man in the back with a cross-shaped knife.

Phew!

A sharp knife pierced the man’s chest and protruded forward.

It was a serious injury that would not have caused immediate death for a normal person.

It was the moment when the priest who had succeeded in the surprise attack was about to smile.

Swish!

The man’s head turned back like a mannequin and his eyes met the priest’s who had taken him by surprise.

For a moment the priest felt a creeping fear.

Because the man’s eyes were not normal.

A great madness was swirling in the eyes that were black even down to the whites of the eyes.

He had met many Awakened people, but he had never seen one as mad as the man before him.

“Go… … Leon?”

The priest called the man’s name without realizing it. Then the man called Garion spoke in a phlegmy voice.

“Why do you call me that cursed name? You dog of the church!”

Quagagagagak!

Garion grabbed the sword that had pierced his chest and pulled it towards his side. The blade cut through bone and muscle as it exited his torso.

It was an action that seemed to indicate that he was desperate because he couldn’t commit suicide.

Blood poured out like a waterfall as the sword cut through one side of the torso.

If he had been an ordinary person, it wouldn’t have been strange if he had already died. But Garion was still alive.

His wounds were healing.

In an instant, new flesh grew and bone healed in the area cut by the blade.

It was a sight that was hard to believe even when I saw it with my own eyes.

Garion was a regenerative being.

It also has abilities comparable to Zeon’s super regeneration.

“Go, Garion! Please… … .”

The priest pleaded with a trembling voice.

bang!

At that moment, Garion’s battle axe struck the priest’s head.

The priest’s head split open like a watermelon, blood and brain matter splattering everywhere.

“Hehehe! Not a single dog in the church is left behind.”

Garion’s madness showed no signs of abating.

He moved on to find his next prey.

Pot!

He charged at the priest who was fighting the other Awakened, kicking the ground.

“Kwaaak!”

The priest who was barely holding on met a brutal end to Garion’s battle axe.

Blood spurted from the priest’s body and poured down like rain.

Levin blankly watched the battle of Garion.

Garion was a lion who jumped into a pack of wolves.

The priests were strong, but Garion was stronger.

The crucial difference was its terrifying regenerative power.

Garion was not afraid of getting hurt, because no matter how bad the wound was, he recovered in an instant.

Give flesh and take bones.

While causing great wounds, it is sure to take the opponent’s life.

The crazy fighting style of throwing one’s body into water and fire without regard for danger brought great fear to the priests.

“Mad dog! Garion. How could you do this to us?”

“Shut up! Shut up! Who made me like this? Who brainwashed me into killing my family? John made me like this. The church made me a mad dog. So I have to pay the price.”

“That, that was done by John. Didn’t John already pass away?”

“So, forgive me? I can’t do that. My revenge won’t end until I’ve chewed up every bone of those associated with your sect.”

“Please, Garion… … .”

“I told you to shut up.”

bang!

At that moment, Garion’s axe struck the head of the supplicant priest.

The priest’s head flew away without a trace.

“Ugh! Ugh!”

Garion was breathing heavily, like a demon.

The sight of Garion bathed in blood was reminiscent of a berserker.

In fact, the way he fought resembled a berserker.

His fighting style was brutal in itself, charging in and killing his opponents without regard for the consequences or fear of getting hurt.

The Awakened, empowered by Garion’s wrath, overwhelmed the priests.

“Kwaaak!”

“Ugh!”

The priests fell down screaming and spewing blood.

After about five minutes, there was no longer a priest left standing on the ground with both feet on the ground.

“Wow! I won.”

“We won.”

“Long live Garion!”

The victorious Awakened ones shouted.

The battle tonight was their victory.

The Awakened gathered around Garion.

“We won, Captain!”

“We won, Garion!”

Although they celebrated their victory, Garion’s gaze was elsewhere.

Where his gaze turned, there were Zeon and Levin.

Levin’s mouth was open, as if he still couldn’t shake off the afterglow.

That’s how shocking Garion’s fighting style was.

Levin, who can turn into a ghost, is almost immune to injury in battle, as even moderate physical attacks have no effect on him.

The fierce fighting style in which he threw his whole body into the fight was a huge shock to Levin.

No matter how much the wound healed, it was impossible not to feel pain.

You have to endure all the pain of muscles tearing and bones being cut.

It was a truly crazy, do-or-die fighting style.

There was no way someone with that kind of fighting style could be normal.

Suddenly, Garion opened his mouth.

“My… my… lord?”

He walked towards Zeon.

The Awakened ones who had been preoccupied with battle also discovered Zeon late and let out a guarding cry.

“Who is the author?”

“Sand… … a sorcerer.”

The afterglow of victory faded and a terrible tension settled over the stadium.

There was no one among the Awakened here who did not know Zeon.

Because I have already encountered Zeon.

To them, too, Zeon was a fearsome being.

If Zeon were to fight on the side of the cult, they would end up dead in an instant.

But Zeon had no intention of attacking them.

Because there is no reason to do so.

Zeon looked at Garion approaching him.

It was a character in his memory.

“It’s been a while.”

“My Lord Zeon!”

Garion bowed his head to Zeon.

Zeon, who was looking up and down at the blood-covered Garion, made a sad expression.

“You were here.”

“There was no other place for me. … … .”

“Lord Garion!”

“Where can a sinner who killed his wife and child with his own hands go? I must atone for my sins here.”

“ha!”

Zeon let out a faint sigh.

Garion was a fanatic of Dongdaemun.

Garion, who was brainwashed by John, attacked Zeon.

At that time, Zeon had dealt a strong blow to Garion’s brain, which broke the brainwashing.

After being freed from the brainwashing, Garion finally realized what he had done.

I killed my own wife and children.

Garion, who had regained all his memories, could not forgive himself.

Even though he was brainwashed, he killed his own blood relatives with his own hands.

I haven’t had a single good night’s sleep since I was released from the brainwashing.

When he closed his eyes, memories of that day came back to him and tormented him.

Even though I wanted to die, I couldn’t die.

This was because the ability that John and the church had forcibly awakened was regeneration. Because of this cursed ability that could instantly heal any wound, it was not easy to commit suicide.

In the end, Garion chose revenge instead of suicide.

The most hated being, Johann, ended his life at the hands of Zeon, but the sect still remained.

Although it was split into several parts by ambitious people.

Garion could not stop his revenge until he killed them all.

All the Awakened who followed Garion were the same.

They all have the original sin of killing their families after falling for John’s brainwashing.

Garion gathered them together and hunted the priests of the sect.

Zeon asked Garion.

“You won’t listen even if I tell you to stop, right?”

“I’m sorry, Zeon!”

“Hoo!”

“Kill all the priests of the sect, and when there are no more targets to kill, then Lord Jeon, please kill me. Please.”

“Lord Garion!”

“This cursed ability makes me unable to die. Turn me into blood sand whenever I want. Then I can go back to my family with a smile.”

Garion smiled, revealing blood-stained teeth. But Zeon could not smile.

“ha!”

His sigh was carried away by the wind.
