99. 1st boundary (2)
ugh ugh ugh!
There was a sound like something spinning at high speed, and at the same time, a white band formed in the air that made up the 4th floor of the tower.
‘Is this also a kind of magic?
There must be hundreds or thousands of belts.’
It was no different that Yuma thought of Risol’s transcendent tricks as magic, not authority.
This is because he now fully realizes that no type of authority works on him.
Bands radiating brilliance and fluttering brightly filled the space.
Yuma glared at Rizol with a hard expression. Risol, who had risen into the air again before she knew it, had her back to the red moon.
Flying magic, like teleportation and infinite power, was nothing more than a fantasy containing human long-awaited wishes. However, Yuma wasn’t surprised at how much magic Rizol used now.
“What else this time? What tricks are you doing?”
Yuma asked in a calm voice.
Rizol looked down at Yuma and was silent for a while. He seemed to be thinking about something. Thousands of bands slowly circled around the two of them.
Those shining bands were certainly divine and even beautiful, but somehow Yuma felt pressured.
Rizol, who had been standing still for a long time, finally opened her mouth. It seemed that he had finished his own troubles.
“Yuma Drake. Humans who reached the border usually returned with greater power than they possessed before.”
Yuma didn’t answer and grabbed Arila tightly.
It was because he had read the subtle murder hidden in Rizol’s calm tone of voice.
That small life began with Rizol’s agitation and anxiety.
Fear of the unknown.
To Rizol, Yuma was a truly unknown existence.
The Archmage could read and control the movements of all things in the world from anywhere, and could transform any being that was illuminated by light, whether tangible or intangible.
even if it is time.
In other words, Rizol was more worthy of being called a god than any divine being Yuma had ever encountered.
“And I’m not originally in the role of enlisting all beings who touch the boundary. Hugo and Kriesha, whom you know well, also took care of the guard alone.”
Watching Hugo, who had the eyes of the demonic dragon Versis, was a burden even for Risol.
This is because if you wrongly stimulate Marong’s eyes, an irreversible situation may occur.
“Then why did you come to see me? What are all the riddles from earlier?”
[Didn’t you say it was something I would live long to see? You are so special that you needed to come. I really needed time to talk face-to-face with you.]
Rizol delivered the following words not with his mouth, but with the voice of God.
For a moment, Yuma’s vision was dyed in darkness as if it were blackened. The huge wings made of light from Risol’s shoulder cast a pitch-black shadow.
It’s not a metaphor, but the size of the wings really exceeded the tears of the Great Ocean that separates East and West. Yuma couldn’t even recognize that those were wings.
The figure of Rizol with its wings spread had a dignity that could not even be felt by human cognition.
[Yuma Drake. I’m not here to pay you more. I came to seal some of the power you will have.]
Rizol raised her staff high.
Then, the thousands of long strips that fluttered around all at once stopped moving.
Just like a sniper archer holds his breath and stiffens his stance before letting go of the bowstring.
‘Are you going to seal some of my power?’
Yuma narrowed his eyes and let out energy. Blue and black aura spheres formed near Yuma’s body.
“What are you going to do with me!”
Sreung! Yuma pulled out the Ascalon with his left hand. Amoula and Ascalon shone from Yuma’s hands, respectively.
My whole body was filled with more energy than ever before.
If it was now, it seemed that even if they fought against the Master or Hugo, they would not be completely defeated. It was the result of a synergistic effect of the two auras mixed.
However, it would be useless to that arrogant transcendent floating in the air. Instinct and intuition told me that.
Still, he didn’t know exactly what it meant to seal the power, but Yuma didn’t want to make things go smoothly as Rizol wanted.
‘Damn it, how can I give him a shot?’
While Yuma was contemplating the answer, Lee Sol radiated the voice of God again.
[I will act on God’s behalf to seal the excess power that will soon be given to you.]
You are an immeasurable fallacy and too dangerous.
Rizol swallowed the words and fired at Yuma the thousands of belts that filled the fourth floor of the tower.
The bands shone brightly like the sun, and Yuma swung his two swords to cut them off.
fur! Perpuck!
When the auror sphere collided with the belt, there was a dull noise. The aura spheres protected Yuma and the finest quickswords produced belts, but there were thousands of them.
Even the torn and cut bands increased in number each time they cracked, like germs multiplying.
Yuma couldn’t stand it for a few seconds and had to allow the belt to pierce her body.
Soo-wook!
A belt pierced Yuma’s chest.
However, even after being pierced in the middle of the chest, Yuma did not feel any pain. It wasn’t that the anger overcame the pain, there was really no pain.
The belt clearly penetrated the Brigandine White Dragon that Yuma was wearing. However, the White Dragon did not break either.
The belt did not physically penetrate Yuma, but penetrated it. It was a strange sensation that cannot be described in words.
Thousands of belts were then attached to Yuma’s body. The belt did not have a physical restraint, but somehow Yuma’s body did not move.
[Maybe
it won’t hurt.]
When Rizol pulled the wand inward, the bands penetrating Yuma’s body came out all at once.
Again, there was no pain involved. However, the bands that had just been shining brightly began to turn black at a rapid pace.
As if being sucked into a whirlpool, the bands that turned black drew circles in the air and were absorbed by Rizol’s staff.
Yuma became extremely disgusted and glared at the belts that went in and out of her body.
As the bands disappeared into the cane to the last strand, a line of blood flowed from Rizol’s mouth.
And the wings of Risol, which were bigger than the ocean, disappeared in the blink of an eye. Yuma didn’t see him bleeding.
‘what? Is it over?’
Apparently, Rizol referred to the magic just now as a ‘seal’.
However, Yuma noticed that his aura had barely decreased, only feeling slightly tired.
I was very nervous, but there was no change to the point of futility. On the other hand, Risol was struggling to hide her rapid breathing.
It was natural for Yuma not to feel that his power had diminished.
It was because it sealed the power of Gude, who had not yet been completely absorbed, but who would be Yuma’s share once the time stop was lifted.
I couldn’t seal everything. Even Resol had no way to recover or seal half of the power that Yuma had already completely absorbed.
For a non-god to have destructive power comparable to that of a god, it meant that the world could be destroyed at any time.
It was Yuma’s personality to be the first to be conscious of the deaths of her lover and colleagues even when she reached the boundary.
What if Yuma absorbs all of the demon lord’s power and the people he loves die tragically?
In Rizol’s eyes, Yuma was the kind of person who could make the choice to set the world on fire at such a time.
However, what made Rizol even more intimidated was a silver coin protruding from Yuma’s pocket.
‘To be able to create something without even knowing it… I never thought I’d have to go through a situation where I had no choice but to use a makeshift solution to a mortal.’
Even though it is a trivial object that anyone can make with just a coin of silver and fire, what Yuma did was creation.
Creation in the human world is an inherent authority that only the believer of light can do.
Unbeknownst to Yuma, he had already given Risol a proper blow by showing him the Creation.
“Resol. I don’t know what you did, but when you’re done, get out of here.”
Yuma said, aiming the auror sphere upwards.
“Next time we meet, let’s have a more honest conversation than now.”
“I would have said it earlier. I hope I don’t have to see things like this anymore. If your goal is not to end the war or stop the genocide of mankind, don’t meddle with me.”
“You don’t seem to like me very much.”
“Would you like me to be like you?”
“I can say that I cherish you the most among all things in the world.”
“It’s good that you talk bullshit like that.”
“…I will make the world move again, so save your comrades.
Oh, if I could give you one piece of advice.”
“I don’t need your advice.”
“You better keep this. Now, the souls of the demons you cherish are about to be destroyed.”
It was a story about Rakir.
The breath shot by Gude, who had turned into a sphere, reached Rakir’s corpse as well. Rakir’s corpse, now on the first floor, had only a tiny paw left.
“I am worried about that. Whatever you do, don’t try to undo that apparent death. If you do, someone you can’t handle will come looking for you.”
“That is none of your business.”
“Of course it is. But haven’t we talked about it before? I’m sure of the price, so if I get more, I’ll definitely give it back. This advice is worth the silver coin you threw me.”
After saying those words, Risol, who floated in the air, became blurry.
The moment Yuma opens his mouth to say something, Kung! The world’s clock started ticking the second hand again.
Tulka, who was holding Seryl, landed on the ground, and Randell’s twin swords were crossed, and Barenan’s tightly closed eyes opened.
“Yuma!”
Natalie’s clear voice.
With a desperate expression on her face, she called out Yuma’s name.
The figure of Yuma, who until just now looked hideous as if covered in black oil, was nowhere to be found.
Natalie moved her gaze to the sphere behind Yuma for a moment, wondering if she was mistaken.
“Natalie! I’m fine, so just stay there!”
The shock wave that tried to blow the party away was noticeably weaker than before meeting Rizol. It felt like a bit of a rough wind now.
However, in the lower part, the epicenter of the explosion, a strong force was still felt. I had to stop it.
Yuma canceled Amula’s summoning and stuck Ascalon into the ground. The aura spheres floating around him began to gather in Yuma’s grasp in an instant.
Yuma chose Duran Zak’s final decisive weapon, Storm, as a means to stop the explosion.
