Chapter 871 Chapter
217. Reason for Ayula’s manifestation (3)
Jito’s eyes blinked for a moment as he alternately looked at Ayula and the dimension door.
[Puhehe… Hahahaha! what if you close it? Did I not know how to be astonished and servile? Ayula you stupid friend. What if I fall for such a simple act! Are you saying that the reason you’ve been futile up until now is because you’ve been wasting your strength trying to stop that?]
Zito had been aiming for that from the beginning.
He had the conviction that Ayula would have prepared for extinction in order to annihilate himself today.
[First of all, after blocking the way back and giving me a big blow somehow, the humans under this barrier must have been thinking about what to do with me. It’s a good enough tactic if I haven’t regained my strength this much. But unfortunately… that’s not the case.]
As soon as he confirmed that the door was closed, Zito’s appearance began to change. New thorns sprouted all over the wings and body, and the contours of the shimmering face became clearer.
[If I kill you anyway and find your eyes, there’s no point playing around with this. Then let’s start over, foolish peace.]
Every time Jito swung the double-thorn axe, the sky distorted.
The same was true of Ayula’s body that the ax touched. As the blood and bone flesh crumpled, a sound more horrific than a scream arose.
The praying subjects shed tears thinking of the pain Ayula was going through, and Jin and Murakan narrowed their eyes.
If the fight continues like this, the outcome will eventually end with Ayula’s defeat.
“Miss Ai, isn’t this really how Ayula is going to lose? They say you can’t use all your powers perfectly because of royalties, but you’re too behind? Oh, the barrier. Is it because I put too much energy into the barrier when I still lack strength?”
“…That’s right Murakan. Ayula-sama loses today.”
Murakan’s eyes widened at Jin’s words.
“what?”
“The outcome of this fight was predetermined from the start anyway. Ayula-sama never once said that she would defeat Jito. You never said anything about destroying him. He only said that he would inflict a great wound that cannot be healed.”
In the first place, Ayula’s goal was not to win.
Ayula knew better than anyone that it was impossible from the beginning. As Murakan said, royalties are not a place where Ayula can exert her full strength.
“The way I see it, Zito fell into a trap. I don’t know what Ayula-sama’s exact intentions are, but I’m sure Ayula-sama’s power applied to the dimensional door after the fight is over will hold Jito’s ankle.”
“Please, I hope you are right.”
It wasn’t that Jin really wasn’t worried at all.
-[Originally, this time I was going to inflict irreparable wounds on him even if I lost some of my authority. It’s because I heard that he could be more of a threat to the public unless Zito regains his full power.] What
Ayula said earlier in the gray area.
Even if the fight went perfectly according to Ayula’s will, he would definitely lose some of his powers today.
‘Perhaps… this will be the first and last time Ayula-sama intervenes in royalties like she is doing right now. All I can do is hope that the fight will end according to Ayula-sama’s will.’
If things go wrong, there is a possibility that Ayula will disappear.
On the other hand, there was no such thing as Zito. Ayula herself had nailed it as impossible.
[You can clearly see the four crying children under the barrier. My eyes must have been anxious to see it. For too long, my eyes were trapped without seeing anything beautiful.]
Openwork-!
A thorny ax hit Ayula’s head.
Ayula did not recover as quickly as Zito. He controlled the spears with part of his head torn off, but at first glance it seemed that there was a problem with his vision.
Two more wings were torn. While the number of times the spear pierced Zito’s body gradually decreased, the number of times the thorn ax trampled Ayula increased.
It was no longer a battle between two beings with similar powers, but an atmosphere where unilateral violence on one side began.
thud…!
Before long, Jito plunged a thorny ax into Ayula’s chest and threw him onto the barrier. The shock transmitted to the inside of the barrier briefly caused an earthquake throughout the Holy Land.
The earthquake grew stronger at a rapid pace.
It was because Zito was riding on top of Ayula and constantly beating him down with the hilt. The barrier formed by Ayula’s ingenuity was still strong, but it seemed like it would crack at any moment.
[Hahaha, I feel like I’ve become an insignificant beast! Suffering from hunger, they finally found their prey. A mother who is tired of protecting her eggs. The mother will try to protect the eggs from predators somehow, even if it means sacrificing herself, but she can’t. Because the true identity of the beast is this Jito!]
Jito raised his maddening voice, comparing the crack to an egg.
[Ayula! Meeting you first with me in Inse is such a great pleasure for me. I’ve been looking forward to this moment for a very long time.]
[You keep talking a lot. It looks like he’s definitely won, but he still looks nervous for some reason. Jito.]
[Then, don’t be nervous! afraid and anxious As you said, that’s why I’m talking like this. Just like how animals often howl.]
[It feels good to be immortal. Okay, now I’m going to give you a present. I will show you what the reality of your unknown fear was.]
Suddenly, Ayula spread her wings wide. Ayula continued to use her wings as a shield to block Jito’s ax attack.
And Ayula hugged Jito with her ten or so remaining wings.
Zito tried to tear off the wings, but the wings, which had so easily torn and fallen off so far, would not budge.
Jito’s thorns piercing the wings were playing the role of fixing the condition of the two. The two immortals looked like a huge cocoon bound together.
Ayula smiled for the first time.
[You just said it’s been a long time since you saw something beautiful in your one eye…]
[What are you going to do?]
[I think the same goes for your other eye. How can a world full of pain be beautiful? So don’t let me show you Something really beautiful.] Whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
really beautiful thing.]
A brighter golden light spread from the golden blood-soaked wings.
And Zito felt Ayula’s energy spreading through his wings invading his brain. That energy forcibly formed several images and sounds in Jito’s head.
Of course, the content consisted of the sights and sounds that Jito detested the most.
Join us in a peaceful and beautiful world…!
The first thing that resonated in Jito’s mind was a line from a hymn to Ayula.
It was also accompanied by the sight of millions of believers with bright faces singing in unison.
[Crazy ghast!]
Jito shuddered at once and showed his distress for the first time.
He was an immortal who was obsessed with pain to the point of torturing himself, but he was not very tolerant of this kind of ‘uncomfortable pain’.
[This isn’t good, it’s a pain I haven’t conquered yet.]
Seeing such a scene was a huge psychological shock to Zito.
Because it was an illusion born inside, he couldn’t kill and torture the singing followers, and he couldn’t easily remove Ayula.
[You’re getting goosebumps!]
[There’s still a lot left. The next thing to see is the sight of people who are tired of life being saved with someone’s help. And they end up living a happy life…]
[You mean you’re a god of peace even after doing such a terrible thing, you devil…! Fall into hell!]
Those who were praying were so focused that they couldn’t hear their conversation, but Jin and Murakan were speechless for a moment.
“…Is this what I think it is? Was it really possible to make that Zito suffer like this?”
“It’s shocking in many ways, me too.”
Zito, who had been overwhelming Ayula all along, was nowhere to be found. There was just a pitiful fiend with an extreme aversion to light and healing.
[Stop it!]
However, infiltrating Jito’s inner world was itself a task that Ayula needed great determination.
Just as Ayula is polluting Jito’s inner side, Jito is also eroding Ayula’s inner side.
Ayula was facing an illusion more vivid than the reality of this world burning and suffering before her eyes. I know it’s just an illusion, but I couldn’t deny it even with God’s insight. Just as Jito is unable to respond to Ayula’s spirit that penetrates his inner self.
Which inner side collapses faster?
After all, that was the end of the fight. That is why Ayula was convinced of her defeat.
In this case, the one who has more things to protect by something he loves must lose. Ayula rolled her eyes and vomited blood, but Jito’s screams gradually subsided.
And Ayula’s wings finally broke. All the wings fastened to the thorns crumbled, revealing Ayula’s wounded body.
Ayula looked thin, like someone who would die any moment. As soon as the wings holding him disappeared, Jito widened the distance and gasped.
[Heh heck heck… I almost opened my eyes to his strange taste. Although this is also a kind of pain that I have to conquer in the end. I learned a lot, Ayula.]
Ayula caught her breath without answering.
Now, Zito will surely be able to finish off Ayula. Ayula won’t be able to fight back any longer.
But Zito had to choose.
Will I use up all my remaining power to end Ayula now, or will I use that power to tear the barrier Ayula placed on the dimension gate in the first place and go back. Ayula was dying, but the barrier of the dimension gate was in good condition.
Zito chose the latter.
It was because if he used all his strength to destroy Ayula now, he would not be able to deal with the humans under the barrier.
[Keuk-kuk… Yes, I lost today. I was tricked. This was the reason why I was obsessed with the barrier. But I don’t like this feeling of defeat. It’s an indescribably sticky, electrifying sense of defeat. Don’t go back. Next time we meet, you’ll be weaker, Ayula. I’ll use you enough and enjoy it then.]
Soon after, Zito tore Ayula’s power that engulfed the dimension door.
And when Jito disappeared, Ayula fell under the barrier.
