Episode 119
Baek Sa-jun stood on the red moon.
The red moon was pulled down by the World Tree, but it still floated high above.
But it wasn’t that difficult to get there.
This was because the branches of the saplings that covered the entire red moon served as a stepping stone.
“The scenery is truly breathtaking.”
– Krrrrrr.
Baek Sa-jun looked around and muttered.
The surface of the red moon was hideous. It was a hideous, tangled mass of flesh and veins that writhed and writhed. It looked more like a gigantic creature than a moon.
This became even more so as the branches of the World Tree became entangled.
and.
– Aaaah …
– Just let me out… … .
– It hurts, it’s painful, now, stop… … .
A voice came from beneath the surface.
A voice that was exhausted from the repetitive pain. And it wasn’t just one or two voices.
It was obvious whose voice it was.
‘It must be the voices of the absorbed souls.’
The red moon is a kind of ‘altar’.
An altar that absorbs the life and soul of all of Busan, in the sky above Busan that no one can reach.
‘It’s been quite some time since the disaster occurred in Busan.’
And how many people and how many lives were lost in the process.
Countless lives have been lost.
Their lives and souls cannot rest even after death, but suffer under the red moon.
To be used as energy for Jinjo.
– Crunch.
“…Okay, let’s go.”
The skeleton pointed west.
The direction in which Jinjo probably teleported. Realizing that he was at a disadvantage, Jinjo sacrificed his followers and escaped to the red moon through space teleportation.
‘It was like that in the original too, so it’s obvious.’
Jinjo is a being that usually shows off his dignity, but becomes ugly when faced with an unfavorable situation.
That’s how it looked in the original.
‘Did you make your last desperate effort on the red moon?’
That was the reason Baek Sa-jun came here first.
Jinjo, we have to stop that guy.
“Let’s go, skeleton.”
– Crunch.
Baek Sa-jun took a step forward.
* * *
Jinjo opened his eyes.
All that was visible was thick fog, and the surface of the red moon entangled in the branches of the World Tree.
She knelt down.
– The abominable, world tree… … .
The red moon and Jinjo are connected.
But with the intervention of the World Tree’s sapling, the connection became unstable. There was no way to resolve it without completely destroying the sapling.
That’s why Jinjo chose it.
– Even if I regain my full strength in the future, it wouldn’t mean anything if I die now.
To absorb the red moon.
Numerous blood vessels bulged out from Jinjo’s body and dug into the surface of the red moon.
The red moon was something she had created. The blood of the true king contained within it reacted to her.
– Ss …
The life contained in the red moon began to be absorbed by Jinjo. She shivered as she felt the strong life surge through her body.
The surface that had been wriggling as if alive was quickly drying up around her.
‘There is no way to recreate the red moon.’
In the past, when Jinjo was at his peak of power, it might have been possible, but now, there is no way to do that.
If you destroy it, that’s the end.
But now, more than that, I wanted to take my life and kill those humans.
– The Sword Emperor and the Necromancer, you guys must.
Kill. There’s plenty of time.
It should be able to absorb enough life in the time it takes for the Sword Emperor to reach here.
The rest are fighting those guys… … .
– Taaaaaang!
At that moment, gunshots rang out.
A gunshot with a completely unexpected timing. Jinjo couldn’t even react. The bullet that rushed in in an instant hit her right between the eyebrows.
– Whoosh whoosh!
– Ugh, aaaah!
The magic contained within the bullet exploded.
Horrible flames instantly burned Jinjo’s head and half of the blood vessels connected to the ground.
Jinjo turned his head in anger.
– Who… Ugh!
– Keuheuheu!
What he saw was a huge, charging wolf.
In an instant, Cerberus’s one head bit Jinjo and lifted him up.
And on Cerberus’ back.
“Who are you? It’s me.”
– Yes, you… … !
Jinjo opened his eyes wide.
What is reflected in those eyes is the figure of Baek Sa-jun riding on Cerberus’s back.
“It’s a gift.”
From Baek Sa-jun’s grasp, a powerful curse poured out from the armor he was wearing.
The curse of weakness, weakness, and resentment seeped into Jinjo inexorably.
Cerberus struck him down one after another.
– Kwaaaaang!
A skill that crushes the opponent with great force, and its power increases the heavier the caster is.
pinned Jinjo to the ground.
Cerberus’ heads were engulfed in flames.
– Whoosh whoosh!
The breath of hell and the flames of hell covered the Jinjo who was stuck on the ground. The fierce flames burned his body.
And the moment the flames died down, the venom ghouls that had been waiting for their moment rushed in and exploded.
The vicious venom melted Jinjo’s entire body.
– Ugh, aaaaaaah… … .
Screams echoed everywhere.
The whole body of the Jinjo melted. The Guardian’s spear wrapped in flames pierced the bastard’s head.
Boom! The torso falls backwards.
– Necromancer! You’re going to hinder me to the end!
Jinjo gnashed his teeth as he regenerated his body.
But at the same time, I felt doubtful.
‘How on earth did you chase me?’
If Jinjo had been chasing after seeing him teleport through space, he would not have arrived at this timing.
Unless you knew she was going to run away here and came in advance.
But is that possible?
– Kwaaaaang!
– Kyaak! Fuck, eat me!
The joint attack of Magnus and Cerberus continued.
There was no time to think any further. Jinjo quickly absorbed the life from the Red Moon with his remaining blood vessels.
– Get… away from me!
Jinjo spread out both arms.
A bloody mist rose from her and covered the surroundings. Then, the bloody mist quickly turned into small drops of blood and exploded in an instant.
– Kwaaaaang!
“Magnus!”
A red explosion swept through the surrounding area.
At the same time, the scattered blood corroded everything it touched. Baek Sa-jun retreated with Cerberus, and Magnus spread a pitch-black curtain.
At the same time, Jinjo moved his hand.
– Swish!
– Ughhhhhhhh… … !
Magic circles formed in the air, emitting an ominous light. A dragon head made of blood appeared from the magic circles and attacked Baek Sa-jun.
Baek Sa-jun had no choice but to focus on defense in the face of fierce attacks. That was what Jinjo was aiming for.
– Yeah… You came at a good time. Of all the humans, you were the one I wanted to kill first!
Blood-red energy flowed out from the surface of the red moon and completely permeated Jinjo.
Then Jinjo’s body began to change.
– Crack, crack!
. But it was on a different level from the body mutations we’ve seen from vampires so far.
Huge wings sprouting from the back.
And as its body grew larger, blood-red carapace grew over its entire body like armor.
– You, in this place!
“Skull! Now!”
– … … !
The moment Jinjo was about to finish his physical transformation, he felt someone’s presence behind him.
She turned her head in horror.
What is visible in those eyes is the appearance of a skeleton that is revealed as the fog clears.
– What, fogging… the undead… …!
– Kwaaaaah!
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The skeleton was burning with the all over its body, and also clutched the burning spear tightly.
And throw.
– Phew!
– Ha, ugh… … !
The spear, imbued with the flames of the fire dragon and the aura of corruption, pierced Jinjo’s heart.
The fierce flames spread throughout my body in an instant.
Burning flesh.
– Ah, ahhhh… no, I… … !
Jinjo desperately regenerated his body and created blood monsters with the life of the red moon.
Baek Sa-jun touched the ground with his hand.
WHHH! A strong sandstorm blew in, and soon a desert of death descended upon the surface of the red moon.
– Ugh… … .
– Gooooo… … .
An ominous hand rose from the desert and seized the bloody monsters. And the dead that arose with it were all transformed into undead.
Death Knights and Skeleton Warlocks.
“Stop them.”
– Ghhhhhhh!
The undead charged.
Bloody monsters trampled by the fierce rush. And then there were those who arrived at the red moon.
“This way!”
“What the heck, there are monsters here too!”
“Support the Necromancer!”
They were hunters.
After hearing Baek Sa-jun’s words, Han Mina and the hunters cleared out the enemies on the ground and came up.
Hanmi Na and his eyes met.
“From now on, please explain a bit more!”
“Where can we afford to do that?”
“Even if you don’t have time, do it, please!”
Hanmina suddenly got angry.
Baek Sa-jun snickered and raised the Ice Golem. Beyond that, Jinjo, who had not yet completely completed his physical transformation, was glaring at him.
With a look of disbelief.
‘Have you read my actions?’
It’s unbelievable that a single skeleton used the vampire’s fog form. Even more unbelievable was the timing of the use of the fog form.
A movement that seems to have predicted that Jinjo would use physical mutation and hidden the skeleton in advance.
‘As if predicting the future… … .’
Jinjo flew up in a hurry.
A skeleton with its entire body burning attacks. Beyond that, a frozen golem and a guard dog charge.
And there’s even a magic bullet targeting her.
– I can’t believe it.
Jinjo burst into laughter.
On the subject of undead, each and every one of them possesses incredible power. Was a necromancer a being that could serve these undead?
– Ugh, aaaahhhhh!
A spear blade and a magic bullet that pierces Jinjo’s wings.
All the blood vessels that were connected to the red moon were severed. The life that was surging was no longer felt.
The burnt body is not regenerating properly.
‘Am I going to lose like this?’
Again.
Are you saying that I will die miserably like a hunted animal without even regaining my strength?
Jinjo bit his lip.
‘Even if I die!’
The humans here must be taken away.
Jinjo pulled out all of his remaining blood flow, unfolded a curtain, and drew a huge magic circle.
Blood began to boil in the magic circle.
– I’ll kill you. All of you… … !
The magic circle gave off an ominous aura.
I had a gut feeling that it would unleash some extraordinary blood magic when it was completed. However, Baek Sa-jun’s expression as he watched it was extremely relaxed.
It had to be that way.
– Crunch!
– Kkaaaah!
Because I felt the approaching signs.
Lee Hyuk-woon flew in like a flash of lightning, his sword cutting through the curtain and piercing Jinjo.
Crackle! The young brain spark on the blade burned Jinjo, and her movements stopped momentarily.
and.
– Kwaaaaang!
– … … !
A giant sword fell from the sky and struck down Jinjo.
It was the Sword Emperor’s great sword. Jinjo, who was crushed on the surface of the red moon, spat out black blood from his mouth.
The Emperor stood before him.
“You’re ugly, vampire.”
– Sword, yellow… … .
The Emperor’s eyes were filled with disgust.
He couldn’t accept his defeat and ran away, trying to extend his life in an ugly way.
Jinjo felt the gaze and became angry, but now he didn’t even have the strength left to regenerate his body.
– I, like this, again… … .
“don’t worry.”
– what……?
Someone knelt down in front of Jinjo.
It was Baek Sa-jun. The corner of his mouth was a sneer.
“I will put your body to good use.”
– What, are you doing… … .
Baek Sa-jun snapped his fingers.
The followers who were guarding him all aimed their weapons at Jinjo. And.
“You will not rest in peace even after death, Jinjo.”
– Kwaaaaah!
A torrent of attacks engulfed Jinjo.
An attack that Jinjo could not withstand as he had no strength left to fight or regenerate.
The bastard’s body tried to regenerate, but it lacked the vitality to do so. Then, it became strangely thin and flabby, and soon turned to dust.
All that remains are bare bones.
– The master of the red moon, , has died.
– The red moon, having lost its master, collapses.
And then the long-awaited message appeared.
A message that the end of Busan has come.
