Chapter 209
Episode 209
[…Huh?!]
The Hydra that was bounced off by Natriel’s horn looked at Namgung in bewilderment.
[What is this doing? Do you have no self-esteem? At best, I created a stage just for this moment…!]
“A stage? You’re saying something funny. “Why should I adapt to your play?”
Namgung snorted at Hydra’s shout.
[I had high expectations because I heard that he had blocked many doors… but in the end, he was just a human.]
At his reaction, Hydra gritted its teeth and glared at him.
“If you want to fight a strong person, fight against a person like me, not someone like me. “Don’t make it sound like you have a chance of winning because the opponent is a human being or something like that because it’s a stage.”
[What?]
“I am a weak human being, so I will do anything to catch a monster like you.”
[If the means and method are the primordial spirit, it is not a very reliable method.]
“You have to try it to find out.”
Natriel
thrust her head with huge horns and pushed with her hoof as if she was going to rush at any moment.
[Have you ever been with incarnations in your past life?]
“Of course. “I killed some of you by myself.”
[Then what about me?]
“….”
Namgung did not answer.
And from his appearance, Hydra was able to roughly predict the answer.
[Are you okay? If you were to go back, you must have been strong in your past life. But now, at most, less than 10 doors are open. Can you handle me at that level?]
“It seems to me that you are just as weak as you were then.”
[Crackling… really?]
Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu with)!!!!
At that moment, Hydra’s spear flew towards Namgung like a thunderbolt.
“…Ugh!!!”
Namgung instinctively caught the spear with his sword.
He groaned involuntarily and felt a crushing pain in his wrist.
“It’s still such a monstrous force that it’s worth swearing at…”
He said, kicking the Hydra’s spear that had fallen to the floor and grabbing his tingling wrist.
[Am I really a monster? But can you stop this? Haha… You are just as much of a monster.]
“Shut up.”
[It’s not cheap, but I like it. Let’s play some more.]
Namgung didn’t like Hydra’s attitude.
Of the seven incarnations, this was the closest creature to a human being.
Being of similar stature also meant having the greatest intellect.
[Kkkkkkkk…!!]
Namgung took his stance as he saw the hydra running towards him.
‘Unlike other incarnations, it hunted humans only for its own pleasure.’
Just like the people who started the carnival.
But what was still annoying was that, without a doubt, he was strong.
[Do you want to kill Yor?]
“…What?”
[Then I could be a very good opponent. Because I am the incarnation that inherited the most of his power.]
Pat- puh-
uh–!!
“Oops!!”
Hydra’s fist pierced Namgung’s side, and at that moment, a red airflow from the fist attacked him.
‘…hot.’
Namgung hurriedly stepped back as the pain felt like his whole body was burning, but his legs had no strength and he fell forward.
“Cough!!”
[The human body is extremely weak. My ribs must have been crushed. Since you won’t be able to breathe properly, it’s only natural that it will be difficult to control your body.]
“Whew…”
Hydra said in a low voice, looking down at Namgung, who had fallen on the floor.
[It’s a waste of Apophis’s inner work. With this level of skill, it wouldn’t make much of a difference even if Naedan were fully absorbed.]
Phuuk –
But that was then.
A scythe protruded through the hydra’s chest.
[Hmm?]
A huge scythe shining golden light pierced through the Hydra’s chest and protruded out.
[Dead people. Suck the snake’s blood.]
Kieeeeek—!!
At that moment, black clouds flowing from the scythe protruding through the chest began to surround the creature, letting out a sharp scream.
Damn…! Damn it…!!
Black clouds began to bite into the Hydra’s flesh.
[Reaper… It’s been a while. It’s not often you get a chance to see them even at a carnival.]
Despite his flesh being torn off, the guy spoke happily as if nothing had happened.
[Poor thing… You were blinded by revenge and chose to suffer forever.]
Tung –
Rather, he muttered, lightly flicking the end of the scythe that pierced his chest with his finger.
Passyuk…
Surprisingly, when Hydra’s fingers touched it, Akasha’s scythe crumbled into powder.
[…!!]
The power of the Shinigami is an external power that is outside the rules of the carnival.
A being that can produce the same power as a phase despite not being a phase, and that can produce the same power as a representative clan without being a member of the proxy clan.
The symbol of such power was the Shinigami’s scythe.
[But it’s still too immature. Just because he died a long time ago doesn’t mean the Shinigami’s power is strong.]
[How…?]
Akasha looked at her scythe, which had only a blade left, and spoke in a trembling voice.
[It would be good to think about death a little more. King of the elves. At this level, you won’t even be able to cause a scratch to Sang-sang.]
[….]
Cheeeeeeeek…!!
As he waved his arm, the tangled clouds dispersed, emitting pure white smoke.
Phew-!!!
At the same time, when he opened his palm towards Akasha, the spear that had fallen on the floor flew into his hand and pierced Akasha’s body.
[Kukkuk….]
Akasha, who had a large hole in her chest, trembled.
Hydra lightly decapitated him with a flying spear.
The broken scythe hit the floor along with the head falling in vain.
[There is no need to worry too much. Because the Reaper doesn’t die. I just dug up the vessel containing his soul.]
“Indeed… that’s amazing.”
Namgung swung the [Kimyeongsword] behind Akasha’s scattered soul.
Kaang-!!! Kagagaga River–!!!
As Namgung’s sword and Hydra’s spear clashed, a cheerful sound filled the surroundings.
▶ The demons of the sword smell.
▶ The sword demons started to get excited.
[After death, you become a demon… Hey, are you sleeping properly? Among these things.] As
the black smoke disappeared, the man burst into laughter as he saw the demons attaching themselves to him.
“sleep? “How can you sleep now after making the world like this?”
However, Namgung seemed to be getting angry at the laughter and asked back, clenching his teeth.
Kaang-!!
As the demons grabbed Hydra’s ankles, Namgung aimed his sword at Hydra’s head.
Tooung-!!
At that moment, surprisingly, the bastard hit his head against Namgung’s sword.
His sword bounced away with a heavy feeling as if it were hitting a solid wall.
[He recovered quickly.]
The demons holding his legs came off so easily that it felt like nothing, and he walked with long strides and approached Namgung.
“Hwaaaap!!!”
Ecstasy – Book 3 Turning
in the air, Namgung stretched out his hand towards the Hydra.
Tap-
When his palm touches the guy’s chest,
Quaaaaaaang!
An explosion occurred along with a sharp explosion.
“….”
But contrary to the loud noise, the guy didn’t move a single step.
[It’s not bad, but it lacks a lot of power. I guess they told me to keep the Naedan I absorbed? [If you only have unnecessary confidence… First, absorb the inner core into your bloodstream.]
Hydra broke Namgung’s arm and knocked him down in front of him. Then, he grabbed both of his shoulders, straightened his back, and poured his magic power into his veins.
“What are you doing…?”
[I told you. I like fighting the strong. You told us to fight the Aspects, but it is impossible for us, the Avatar, to rebel against them… We were waiting for a strong person to appear.]
Namgung felt the Hydra’s magic quickly seeping into his veins.
At the same time, due to that magical power, Apophis’ inner dan gradually began to melt and be absorbed into his body.
“Get it away from me…!!!”
Namgung roughly shook off Hydra’s hand.
This was because I couldn’t tolerate the thought of receiving help from a monster more than the stabbing pain of my broken ribs.
[It seems like the poison remains. It seems that the inner layer has also melted to a moderate degree… Let’s take a look?]
Ppadeuk –
As Hydra said, the energy flowing within the blood vessels was unusual. However, Namgung did not understand Hydra’s expectation even after seeing its power.
‘What on earth? It’s not like he’s helping me…’
Obviously, without Hydra’s magical power, Apophis’ inner dan would not have been able to be absorbed in such a short period of time.
‘Is it because you really just want to fight the strong?’
But his behavior was somehow suspicious to make that conclusion.
[Our incarnations that follow the master of the seven snakes each have their own characteristics. Among them, Apophis has the deepest spirit among us.]
“…So?”
[If you eat that Naedan, your level of necromancy will increase, even if it is only for a short period of time.]
At that moment, Namgung’s face hardened at Hydra’s words.
▶ Naedan increases your necromantic skills.
▶ Necromancy (Advanced) → (Superlative)
▶ The current ability is unlocked according to the level of Necromancy.
▶ Soul’s Eye → Soul’s Light
▶ Soul Absorption → Soul Extortion
▶ Soul Ministry → Soul
Dominion Namgoong could not hide his bewildered expression as he heard a flood of notifications.
▶ When you increase the level of necromantic skill with the effect of Naedan, not only the upgraded necromantic skill but also the effect of Needan disappears after the time limit.
▶ Duration: 5 minutes.
At that moment, Namgung’s vision completely changed.
His eyes began to glow yellow, like a snake’s,
and waaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!
Namgung flew towards Hydra at a speed that was incomparable to before.
“Kaaaaaa!!!!”
Clutching his burning chest, Namgung roared and swung his sword.
Kang-! Kang-! Kaan–!!!
Namgung’s sword was the first to corner Hydra.
He swung his sword at the guy who was retreating little by little, without giving him a chance.
Chin –
However, it took a moment for the guy to grab Namgung’s sword with his hand.
[The reason I fed Naedan didn’t mean for him to use such a sloppy knife cut?]
Kigi… Kigigi….
The sword trembled as if in pain.
‘Did you get hit on purpose…?’
Namgung thought as he watched him slowly lower his sword.
[With your newly acquired abilities, why are you using a sword like this? If you are the Revelator of the Seven Serpents, use your power as a Revelator.]
Hydra said.
[I want to see that.]
Namgung couldn’t understand the guy’s intentions at all.
What does this guy really want?
It felt like it was hidden deep inside the eyes of an unknown snake.
