Episode 184

Hades took the lead in blocking the oncoming monsters.

“Everyone fight! We must never be broken through!”

Hades shouted as he struck the monster’s head with his vial.

The monster stabbed by the viand fell down, spewing blood.

No matter how hard the monster’s outer shell was, it could not withstand the spear of God.

But even Hades couldn’t help but be surprised.

“Why do the dead try to interfere with the world of the living!”

This was because monsters in the form of gods who were thought to be already dead were also seen.

Not only humans, but also the souls of gods who died in the Abyss became the Abyss’s toys and were transformed into monsters.

But Hades’ spear did not hesitate.

The gods who had already died were no different from monsters to him.

No, is that really the soul of God?

The souls of the gods could not appear in the underworld of Hades or in the underworlds of other gods of the underworld even after death.

The dead soul is just gone.

A soul that has completely disappeared, whether through ascension or annihilation, has reappeared?

Hades did not believe such romantic stories.

This is the dungeon’s memories being devoured by these monsters.

I don’t know how it was swallowed, but it was clear that there was some tampering involved.

Phew!

-Keeeeeek!

Hades, who had killed the monster that was still pretending to be a dead comrade and was disrupting the front line, screamed from his danjeon.

“Everyone, focus on the battle! What you see before your eyes is not your dead comrades! It is the trick of the monster that stole their memories!”

It is not known whether the dead had real souls and were swallowed, or whether it was a trick as Hades said.

Actually, that fact didn’t matter.

The point was that the presence of these monsters was lowering the morale of the front line, and Hades’s slaughter of them gave them a reason to fight again.

“Lord Hades… .”

“Can’t you guys see Dojin fighting alone over there?”

Hades pointed to Dojin, who was fighting alone with Lee Hyun, who was starting to turn into a monster, covered in black light.

His sword and hammer quickly met Lee Hyun’s spear, and every time they did, thunderstorms fell, threatening the nearby area.

It was a spectacular sight.

The apostles and gods, intoxicated by the sight, strengthened their weapons-holding hands.

Kim Do-jin is fighting against such an absurd monster all by himself, so what are they doing?

To protect the pride of being a god.

For some, it is to preserve human dignity.

Some took up arms to protect the everyday life they would never have again if this place were breached.

With Hades’ shout, the spirit that had been slumping rose.

Athena cut off the head of the monster running ahead.

The scythe of the set split the giant golem’s body in two.

These sights gave me hope that I could win.

Wow!

The soldiers faced the monsters with shouts.

‘The urgent fire has been put out.’

Hades recalled the foul, disgusting flow of magic that had passed over their heads when the battle had begun.

Intense magic energy spewed out by the Abyss.

It flew across the sky and went somewhere.

I could tell where the destination was without even looking.

Abyss other than this one.

Magi rose into the sky to cause the Abyss to run wild, which humanity and the gods were unable to conquer in time.

There was no way to stop the burst of magic with Hades’ power.

Even Kim Do-jin himself said that he couldn’t suppress that magic.

So, we deployed as many warriors as possible to the runaway Abyss.

Even cold weapons like guns and cannons, which were rarely used after the Abyss was created, were deployed on the battlefield.

I had to stop it somehow, even if it meant grabbing at straws.

With the hope that if we can stop this Abyss rampage, we can end it all.

Hades, having prepared as many countermeasures as possible, looked at the back of Kim Do-jin, who was now facing Lee Hyeon alone.

Gulp! Gulp!

Is that the power that a human body can produce?

Even Hades, the god of death, would have a hard time guaranteeing his survival if he were to face Lee Hyeon’s power head-on.

Actually, there was one time when I was helplessly defeated.

However, Dojin did not back down at all while fighting Lee Hyeon.

Hades couldn’t understand.

From God’s perspective, humans were clearly the weakest creatures.

However, mankind has achieved greater prosperity than anyone else in a very short period of time by God’s standards.

The scientific civilization they achieved would have continued to flourish if the Abyss disaster had not occurred.

Clearly, the power of one human being was absurdly weak.

But the power that humanity has achieved, and the Irregular beings that suddenly appear among them, are enough to surprise even the gods themselves.

Just like Lee Hyeon and Kim Do-jin, who are fighting fiercely over there right now.

‘The winner of that fight will decide everything.’

Hades clenched his fist.

The best he can do now is to guard the front line so that Kim Do-jin can focus all his attention on the battle.

“Whoaap!”

Hades swore as he slashed a giant tentacle monster over 5 meters long with his viand.

I will definitely defend this front.

* * *

The wind that started from my body enveloped Lee Hyeon.

It was a clear wind that both I and Lee Hyeon could see.

Whew.

Everything the wind blew began to turn gray and rot.

The color had faded, as if it were ash left behind by a fire.

As the wind enveloped Lee Hyeon, the black aura glowing from his body gradually faded.

Anyone who looked at it could see that he was getting weaker.

-… What is this? You prepared something annoying.

“This is a gift for you.”

Lee Hyun’s eyes became sharp.

For the first time, anger appeared in his eyes as he glared at me.

The power of Ragnarok, which means the end of everything, could not be avoided even by Lee Hyeon, who had been descended from the Creator God.

Because it was a disaster that even the gods feared.

‘It’s not time to use lightning yet.’

There was plenty of time to fight.

Many gods, including Hades and Athena, fought hard to maintain the front line.

That means I don’t have to support them.

-Hmm… I see. This is the end. Ragnarok.

“I know you well.”

-Of course. It was a disaster that Odin foolishly brought upon himself while drunk on the future. If you use that power… That means Loki is no longer dead.

“Do you know that much?”

-I guess so. I know the principle of your power. Well, it was too easy.

“Are you going to keep talking? When are you going to attack me?”

-I was preparing anyway.

That moment.

Lee Hyeon disappeared from sight.

“Crunch!”

Kwaaang!

I instinctively took in the sunrise and struck Lee Hyeon’s spear, which had disappeared.

The hand that took the weapon went numb.

It must be Lee Hyeon who has become weak due to the end of Ragnarok.

Even so, the power of Lee Hyeon transmitted from his hands was surprisingly strong.

‘This is weak?’

That’s ridiculous.

If there had been no end, it was obvious that he would have been killed in one blow.

“Whew, that’s pretty good?”

-You barely managed to get it, but you survived.

I dug into Lee Hyeon’s arms.

Because of the difference in length between the spear and the sword, I was at a disadvantage if I didn’t get closer to a certain distance.

My position was to somehow close the distance and cling to him.

Kuung!

Darkness blocked me.

I swung the sunrise and defeated the darkness of Lee Hyeon that was trying to swallow me up.

‘Damn.’

Taking advantage of that momentary gap, Lee Hyeon swung his spear at my head.

Kyaang!

He struck the spear with the sunrise and struck the guy’s body with Mjolnir’s lightning.

Phagec!

-Ugh!

Lee Hyeon, who was struck by lightning, took a step back.

-I can’t let my guard down here.

There were countless fights between me and Lee Hyeon.

Every time the sword and spear clashed, flames burned the darkness.

It was a fight in which neither side could be said to have an advantage.

With each attack, lightning struck and the ground shook.

Because the scale was so large, many monsters from the Abyss fell through the cracks.

Fortunately, the distortion did not reach the barrier between humans and gods.

Lee Hyun didn’t care at all about weakening the monsters summoned from the Abyss with his own hands.

Rather, I was more focused on my fight.

Lee Hyun seemed to be enjoying this fight.

-That’s funny. I never thought that mere humans could give me this much fun.

Will the spirit of God that descended upon Lee Hyeon become stronger?

Lee Hyun’s voice and tone of speech were increasingly going beyond the realm of human speech.

“How long are you going to fight and pretend to be human?”

-Haha, your shallow tricks to provoke me won’t work.

The darkness that had surged through the window this time aimed for my legs.

The idea was to somehow weaken me by blocking my movements.

“That’s impossible.”

As long as I held the sunrise in my hand, I would not be affected by the darkness of Lee Hyun.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The flames of sunrise dispelled the darkness and burned everything.

The tip of Lee Hyeon’s spear began to smoke.

-Hmm, you’re more persistent than I thought.

“My specialty is cockroach-like survival skills.”

It’s still bearable.

I don’t think I’ll need to use lightning.

That was when I thought so.

-Then shall we end the joke here?

“what?”

I furrowed my brow at Lee Hyeon’s words.

The guy spread his arms without answering my question.

That moment.

Flutter!

Four pairs of black wings spread out behind Lee Hyun.

As if an angel had descended to earth, he flapped his wings and rose into the air.

no.

It would be more appropriate to call this a fallen angel.

Wings of pitch black, so dark it’s ominous.

Lee Hyun lifted the window and fluttered it.

In his left hand was a black shield.

He faced me with a shield in one hand and a great spear in the other, like a knight with a lance.

‘Are you planning to use your wings to increase thrust and charge your lance?’

As soon as my thoughts were over, Lee Hyun flew towards me at high speed.

Lance charging.

It aimed at me with the same propulsion as it was gliding through the sky.

There was no way to avoid it.

“shit.”

The magic eye was activated.

The magic I will cast is.

[Cast a spell.]

[9th Grade Defense Magic: Absolute Defense]

An invincible skill that can only be used once.

Lee Hyun’s lens and my sunrise collided like a mirror.

Kwaaang!

-Cough!

A painful groan burst from Lee Hyeon’s mouth.

Absolute Defense, a 9th-grade defensive magic that helps you withstand any attack at least once.

I used the evasion technique that Odin once used on me against Lee Hyun.

‘It was good that you prepared in advance.’

It would have been better if it had been used in a situation where it was certain to win, but the important thing was that it nullified one of the secret cards that Lee Hyeon had prepared.

-Ugh… .

My body was fine, but part of the sunrise was gone.

Lee Hyeon also seemed to be quite shocked, as he groaned and glared at me.

My attack, without any thought of defense, completely split the guy’s shoulder blade in two, and left a deep wound on his shoulder below.

There it was, lying on the ground with one of its wings cut off.

-You have some annoying skills.

“You killed Odin, so you should have this much magic. Didn’t you expect this?”

-… … .

Lee Hyeon with his mouth shut.

The guy took flight again.

The wounds from the collision just now had already healed.

However, that doesn’t mean that the severed wings will return.

-Once it works, twice it doesn’t.

When I saw Lee Hyeon flying up while shouting loudly, I took out the weapon I had been saving.

“Is it my turn now?”

Krrrr!

Lightning struck.

[I’m in a state of lightning strike.]

[All speeds increased by 500%, damage reduced by 50%, gain telescopic vision]

[Time remaining: 04:59]

I flew into the sky like Lee Hyeon, carrying a flash of lightning.

“It’s round 2.”
