Edler, the apostle of the Poison of God.

Although a priest became the apostle of the master of the Evil Omen.

He was still wielding the power of God.

As proof of this, Edler had healed and saved people several times.

Yet deep down, he always harbored a question.

‘Is the power I wield really that of a god?’

A special power that could manifest anything.

The mana used by the sorcerer was also created based on aura.

The materialization that was the next level of aura was also the same, manifesting something based on aura.

‘So the divine power is called the power of a god too.’

In the end, the truth was, he wondered if it was the power of healing manifested by aura, believing in the existence of a god.

The moment he had that thought was 30 years after he began his ascetic training.

And not long after, he coincidentally became the owner of an evil spirit.

A time when evil spirits appeared and threw the world into chaos.

Families have once competed to enter evil spirits.

Edler also entered a newly emerged evil spirit along with a family.

He was lucky enough to survive alone at the end of the evil spirit.

With everyone from the family he had entered with having perished.

Around the time he escaped the evil spirit alone.

A strange phenomenon appeared in his body.

‘This can’t be called divine power.’

It was none other than the evil spirit.

The evil spirit that dwelled in his body was a terribly fearful and evil energy.

At that moment, the self-proclaimed poison of a god whispered.

If he wanted to know the truth to that question, he should take it into his hand.

When Edler, who couldn’t overcome his fear of the evil spirit, took his hand.

He remembered.

That a god was, in the end, nothing more than a virtual existence that humans believed in.

That divine power was merely a power humans created with aura.

That faith towards a god was truly worthless.

And so Edler became an apostle of the poison of a god.

The poison of a god.

It was the perfect name to mock the priests.

Such an Edler was now looking at the sight before him in bewilderment.

One question arose in his mind.

‘Does a god really not exist?’

He thought about the existence of a god again, looking at the being before him.

It was only natural as that man was something that could not have been created without a god.

That man was just that strong.

As if he had already transcended the realm of humans.

Every time his dawn embraced the light, Edler’s space was shattered.

‘Surely, he should be an owner of an evil spirit just like me. How could there be this much of a difference?’

Edler looked at Habell with eyes full of astonishment.

The evil spirit that Edler became the owner of was the evil spirit called the Mirror World.

A labyrinthine maze of separate spaces that overlap one another.

Once trapped, it was a hell from which there was no escape.

It was pure luck that he was able to escape that place and become its master.

But even luck is a skill in this world.

Edler, who had become the master of the maze, manipulated the space as he wished.

So, after trapping Habel in a separate space,

He planned to condense it to the size of a birdcage, literally.

Because the poison of the gods was tempting him with greed.

But such thoughts were too shallow.

Every time Edler cut the space, Habel’s black sword extended.

Clang!

And the extended sword of Habel shattered the space once again.

“How on earth can you break through space so easily?!”

Edler exclaimed in disbelief and reached out his hand.

The severed space was mixed up and twisted in the opposite direction.

Anyone who touched the twisted space would be torn apart as their body was separated into different spaces.

This wasn’t a space severance for trapping, but a murderous space severance for killing.

However, it was useless in front of Habel.

Clang!

When he struck, the space would just shatter and disappear.

“It works if you just put your strength into it.”

“Is that even possible?”

“Most things in the world are solved with strength. If it’s not solved, it just means your strength is lacking.”

Edler’s expression hardened.

Now, he had given up on trapping Habel.

Instead, he continued to escape to the next space so that Habel couldn’t find him.

Space was like a mirror facing each other.

The appearance of the room was certainly the same,

But Edler was confident that he could continue to move forward without being caught.

It was, in fact, an endless game of tag.

As he escaped, Edler realized one thing.

Edler had always watched Habel from the sidelines.

He was strong, but he thought he could be brought down separately.

But that was his mistake.

“Lord Habel, have you ever used your full strength?

He had never shown his full strength even once.

No.

Not to mention his full strength, he had never even revealed his true power.

Perhaps the world was boring to him.

“But then you’ll never be able to catch me.

He didn’t seem to be wearing the Evil Blade.

He was strong enough to fight without it, even to the point of being overflowing.

However, perhaps because of his strength, he didn’t seem to know how to use the Evil Blade.

Edler changed his mind.

The Divine Poison was curious about Habern.

He could see Habern through himself.

Then he just had to satisfy his greedy curiosity.

He had to reveal Habern’s history.

“You will forever have to follow me.”

Habern stared blankly at him, then soon let out an absurd laugh.

From noble mtl dot com

“Let me give you a piece of advice.”

Habern stopped chasing Edler, who was escaping into the next space.

Instead, Habern pointed his sword at him.

“You’ll bleed if you think the world you see is all there is.”

At that moment, the light of dawn began to glare fiercely on Habern’s sword.

It was a stronger light than the dawn that had just cut through space.

It was an excessive light that was so dazzling that even when he covered his eyes with his hands, his hands would still be penetrated.

Edler was bewildered when he saw the light.

The space was distorting around Habern because the light was so strong.

“What are you trying to do?”

“I’m tired of hide-and-seek. You’re cleverly using the multiple reflections of the mirror to move to a place where I won’t be reflected, aren’t you?”

Habern had also seen through all of Edler’s abilities.

When Edler’s face hardened, it was already too late.

“Let’s see if you can escape if I fill in all the places where there are no reflections.”

“What?”

The moment Edler uttered a bewildered sound.

Dawn ignited from Habern’s sword.

Soon, light spread out enough to fill the space and even burst it.

Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!

The spaces that Edler had cut open shattered all at once.

This was because the space could not handle the light that was too strong.

Edler began to flee frantically across the space.

However, before long, the space he was moving to was filled with light.

Edler felt his vision turn white.

All spaces were filled with Habern’s dawn.

Edler continued to cut through the space as if he were struggling.

Then he finally realized that it was impossible.

This was because the light of dawn followed him endlessly, devouring him.

As a last resort, he separated himself into a completely separate space.

He had cut off the other space from the source.

But that was such a stupid idea.

“I told you so.”

In front of the separated space, Habel clenched his fist.

The destructive power in that fist distorted Edler’s space and still had power to spare.

“Just because you’re strong doesn’t mean you can do whatever you want.”

Edler’s eyes widened as he discovered Habel.

At the same time, his fist thrust into Edler’s space.

Crack!

With a piercing sound, Edler’s space split apart.

“Hahaha, oh my god.”

And the aftereffects of the last broken space were met head-on by Edler.

Light was pouring in from all sides through multiple reflections, piercing his entire body.

“aagh!”

Screaming, Edler rolled around on the floor, his face pale.

The space had suddenly returned to the very first room.

In that space, Edler’s body trembled.

He barely had enough breath to call upon his divine power.

His body gradually recovered to the point where he could barely breathe.

Habel stood tall in front of him.

In the fading light of dawn, Habel’s perfectly fine face was visible.

“Someone who can’t even handle this, what are you testing?”

Habel clicked his tongue.

These days, he didn’t know why everyone was just putting on a show.

‘Is it because the times have changed, or am I just old-fashioned?’

When he looked at Baphomet, who lived in the same era, it didn’t seem to be the case.

Habel raised his hand and searched Edler’s body.

A set of keys came out.

“Baria, the key?”

“Ah, here it is.”

Baria, who had been dazed, hurriedly took out the set of keys.

It seemed he had taken good care of them.

“That spear-wielding punk, feed him this.”

Habel tossed Baria the healing potion he always carried.

Then he scooped up Edler with his hand.

“I’m watching you through this guy.”

And Habel warned the god of poison, who would be watching through Edler.

“If you’re curious, come yourself. Don’t just mess around behind the scenes.”

Habel finished his warning and raised his hand to strike Edler down.

“Keugh!”

With that, Edler completely lost consciousness.

He had left his airway open since he had more questions.

With that, Haber turned his head, leaving Edler unconscious on the floor.

It was because Daslan’s aide had belatedly come this way after Haber had suddenly rushed out.

“H, Haber-nim!”

He came into the room in a hurry, and was shocked after looking around the room.

On the surface, it was just a storage room.

But the room that had held various confidential documents was in shambles.

He made a sad face.

If he was August’s direct subordinate or had power, he would have investigated it.

However, he was just August’s direct subordinate’s aide.

He lacked the authority to investigate such trivialities.

Moreover, his opponent was a powerhouse who had managed to subdue the Ashen 3rd Knights Order.

There was nothing he could do about it.

Now, he had to appease him as much as possible so as not to cause any more trouble.

“Daslan August-nim will be here soon! Could you please wait to talk until then?”

Haber looked back at the aid.

He was getting pushed around by those above him.

He had shown his strength enough for now.

Pembola would be here soon, and there was also the matter between the Five Great Families.

“Baria, do you think this is enough of a lesson for the August guys?”

Haber asked Baria, who was a member of his unit.

Baria laughed bitterly as he looked at the situation outside.

“I think it’s more than enough.”

Baria had originally planned to run away since things had turned out this way.

He would get into trouble with August later.

But even if they were from the same Five Great Families, they were just like fences.

They were different places after all.

It was better to stick with Haber than August.

However, since Haber had been shown up here.

It might be better to finish things off properly since things had turned out this way.

“So, where is that August direct subordinate?”

“W, well.”

The aide pretended to look flustered.

He looked like he was wondering whether it was okay to say it.

However, as Haber’s eyebrows furrowed and he urged him on.

He finally decided to tell him where Daslan had gone.

“Isn’t there someone who came with Baria Graisher-nim and his party?”

When Haber heard that, he thought of Mobius.

Come to think of it, he had told Hwarang to track down Mobius’s trail and lock him up.

“He stole the key and chased after him.”

With these words, Havel grabbed him by the throat and squeezed.

As expected, August’s direct descendant, Daslan, had chased after Mobius.

When he realized this, his head became complicated for a moment.

Even so, Mobius is someone who the Whisperer wants as an apostle.

In Havel’s eyes, Mobius’s potential is quite good.

I don’t know how strong August’s direct descendant is.

If he can’t reach that level, August will suffer greatly.

“The so-called Five Great Clans are more incompetent than I thought.”

The heads of the family might be different.

Havel turned around with such thoughts.

“Baria, stay here for a moment.”

It seemed like he had to go out to meet them after all.
