The only god shouted.
-Fly, Ilho!
“John name! According to the words of the great and merciful One God!”
Wow!
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
Ilho, wearing a soul armor, flew like a darting arrow toward Eden, a sky whale flying through the sea.
[ Kang Shik and the Beast of Deception ]
Shu Woo-wook!
Kwak Kwak!
Il-ho, clad in black armor, landed on the island of Eden, the sky whale. Ilho yelled loudly.
“Deguri! Are you all right? I, number one, have arrived!”
“Ilho…”
Deguri, who was surrounded by divine beasts, staggered and approached Ilho.
Degururu. A golden apple with bite marks was rolling at his feet.
“Deguri?”
“Hey, Ilho… My body disappeared…”
Sssss.
Deguri’s body approaching Ilho became more and more transparent and disappeared like a mirage in the desert.
Did you intuit something?
Deguri, with tears in her eyes, reached out her hand to Ilho.
“Don’t forget me… geuk… il heh…”
“Deguri!”
Ilho hurriedly stretched out his hand and tried to grab Deguri.
However, Ilho’s hand only passed through the empty air.
Deguri disappeared.
It does not mean only a simple physical extinction.
Deguri didn’t even exist in the memories of the gods, as if it didn’t exist from the beginning.
Except for one person, Ilho.
Ilho’s eyes, burning with anger, captured the raccoon’s chappa as if it were about to burn.
“What have you done to my friend Deguri! I am the apostle of the wicked evil spirit!”
shit. Chappa’s snout twisted, revealing yellow fangs.
“Kee hee hee! I just sent you to a good place.”
“A nice place…?”
“A worm doesn’t need to know any more! Die!”
Chappa’s eyes glowed sinisterly, and lightning rained down from the staff he held in his hand.
“Kikit! bug! This time, I will turn it into ashes!”
Flash! Kurleung!
A tidal wave of thunderbolts pouring from the staff along with angry thunder swallowed Il-ho with the force to reduce it to ashes.
However, unlike before, Ilho did not let out a small moan at the attack of thunderbolt.
Jjapa’s eyes widened as if they would tear.
“The thunder god’s staff that the corpse gave me doesn’t work?”
The emulator of the soul armor worn by Ilho moved busily.
-Soul armor has resistance to lightning attacks.
-The output of Soul Armor increases by 200% due to strong external energy inflow!
Clap! thud! Clap! thud!
Ilho approached the terrified Chappa with sparks flying all over his body.
“Do you think this kind of lightning will work through the armor that my great one God gave me!”
“Hee! monster monster! Don’t come!”
Jjapa backed up with a terrified face and shouted at the priests.
“What are you doing! Have you forgotten the grace that ‘Kangshik and the Beast of Deception’ saved you guys! Stop that monster quickly!”
Tsutsutsut!
Then, even in this situation, the eyes of the divine beasts, who were standing blankly like marionettes, were stained red.
“For God.”
“For the sake of the God who saved us…”
Jjik! Chew!
At the same time, the clothes they were wearing like humans were torn to shreds, and their bodies became combative.
“Kreureung!”
“Kyao!”
The divine beasts attacked Ilho by exploding their sleeping wild nature like an active volcano.
However, even though it was a short time, Ilho did not even counterattack, as if he could not harm the gods he had been with.
“Keugh!”
In an instant, Ilho was covered by divine beasts and disappeared.
“Kreur! die! Die!”
“blood! I want to see blood!”
Jjapa cheered toward the divine beasts who were pressing down on Ilho like a hill.
“okay! Good job Guri! You’re going to rip off that strange armor and tear the guy to death!”
At that time, a strange sound was mixed between the screams of the divine beasts.
Whoa!
Brilliant golden light began to emanate from the divine beasts that covered Ilho.
“Genuuuuuuk!”
Kwak Kwa Kwak!
With the shouts of the gloomy Ilho, the hill of divine beasts that covered him exploded with a dazzling golden glow.
“Break it up!”
“Conspiracy!”
The divine beasts who had been suppressing Ilho screamed and flew through the air.
Il-ho, who threw them all at once, glared at Jjapa and roared like an angry dragon.
“Be prepared! Raccoon baby! I’m mad!”
“Now wait a minute!”
Jjapa screamed in fright, but Ilho’s fists rushed at a speed that was invisible to the naked eye and pierced his body.
Pooh!
“Kwaeeeek!”
As if an egg had been dropped on the ground, Chappa’s body became fleshy and shattered.
“Kyaaaagh! it hurts! It hurts!”
Chappa, whose body was smashed and only his head remained, screamed as he rolled on the floor like a ball.
Ilho picked up the creature’s head, frowning at the life force that was tenacious like a leech.
“this guy! You look like dirty imperial bastards!”
Jjapa begged with bloody tears.
“Buy and save me… I just did as I was told…”
“Where did you hide the missing Horin and Deguri! If you don’t tell me right away, I’ll smash your head too!”
Ilho gnashed his teeth and growled like a beast.
“Hey! They just paid the price…”
“Paid the price? What do you mean!”
“It’s scary. Please don’t yell at the cow. ‘Kangsik and the Beast of Deception’ saved them from the demonic beast of the God of Destruction and brought them to this heaven. Then, of course, you have to pay the price, right?”
“Tell me the point!”
Ilho gave strength to the hand that was holding Jjapa’s head.
Puffed up! Jjapa screamed in pain as his head was crushed.
“Stop that! They are in the stomach of ‘Kangshik and the Beast of Deception’! They must be delighted to be the blood and flesh of that great man! Aagh! sick! Stop it!”
Ilho inevitably grinded his teeth.
Doesn’t that mean that Horini and Deguri were eaten by evil spirits?
Ilho once thought of Eden as heaven.
But no.
This place was just a breeding ground for God’s food.
He deceived the priests, who devoted their sincere faith to the god who saved them and lived their lives with the hope that one day they would save their hometown.
Ilho was furious.
Does a guy like that really deserve to be called a god!
“What must I do to get to him!”
“What what? Are you sure you want to go to ‘Kangshik and the Beast of Deception’? crazy! I know you’re strong, but he’s a great god on a different level than you!”
Ilho raised his head.
Dazzling golden apples hanging from trees soaring to pierce the sky were engraved in his eyes.
Horini and Deguri disappeared after eating that.
Ilho bent his knees and leaped towards the tree.
“Geun Yoowook!”
In an instant, Ilho reached the top of the tree and splendidly picked a golden apple.
Jjapa’s eyes widened.
“you you? Why God’s Sacred Golden Apple? crazy! Are you sure you want to go to him? Kuek!”
A golden apple stuck in Jjapa’s mouth, who was shocked and chattering.
Ssss…
“Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah…”
Then Jjapa’s head became more and more transparent like a deguri and started to disappear.
“As expected.”
Convinced, Ilho threw back his helmet and took a big bite into the other golden apple.
Agjak!
self.
Then, Ilho’s body gradually became transparent and was sent somewhere.
* * *
“This place?”
Ilho looked at the place he was sent to with shocked eyes.
An immeasurably gigantic living cavity.
Clump clap!
Clumps of red flesh wriggled eeriely on the far-high ceilings, and rivers of greenish acid boiled like lava beneath their feet.
Above the mountain’s river, heaps of bones that seemed to belong to divine beasts floated like islands.
‘It’s a hellish place!’
The air mixed with the acid and the foul stench made it difficult to breathe properly.
If it hadn’t been for this mysterious armor given by the only god, he would have died of suffocation in an instant.
Ilho inevitably grinded his teeth.
Could Horini and Deguri survive in this hellish place?
Jjapa’s head in Ilho’s hands screamed in agony from the acid-mixed air.
“Cool cool! this madman! They really went into the stomach of ‘Kangshik and the Beast of Deception’! Now we are all dead!”
“Shut up! The culprit behind all this!”
Enraged, Ilho threw the head of the jjapa in his hand into the mountain river.
“Kyaaaagh! Oh no goo! Save…!”
Cheeik!
Jjapa’s head melted into the acid in an instant and disappeared.
Then the message from the Tower of Heroes rang out.
– After defeating the evil spirit’s apostle Jjapa, 664 divine beasts were saved!
-Congratulations. Successfully cleared “Eden’s Salvation in the Ordeal of Time and Space” on the 43rd floor of the “Tower of Heroes”.
-Hero, will you challenge the next floor?
Ilho shook his head vigorously.
I haven’t even found a friend yet. What do you mean by that?
Ignoring the message from the tower, Ilho flew around and searched inside the stomach of the hellish evil god.
“Horin! Deguri! can you hear my voice If you can hear me, please answer me!”
Ilho was nervous.
Are the weak divine beasts still alive in this hellish place?
“I…I’m here…I’m…”
Then a faint voice leaked out from one of the islands of bone mounds floating in the mountains.
“Deguri?”
Il-ho hurriedly maneuvered the armor and flew there.
At the very top of the Bone Heap Island, there was a deguri whose body was wrapped in sharp spines.
Ilho held Deguri in his arms.
“Deguri! Are you okay… keugh!”
Deguri’s physical condition was serious.
Although it protected itself with thorns and did not directly touch the mountain, the flesh on its body was beginning to melt.
At that time, Ilho’s eyes reflected the half-melted skin of the tiger god beast halfway up the bone mound.
Deguri coughed bloody and opened his mouth with difficulty.
“Ilho… Horin is heeeeing…”
Ilho gritted his teeth.
“Say nothing! Let’s get out of here first!”
He said that to reassure Deguri, but Ilho didn’t know how to get out of here.
‘Oh right!’
Ilho shouted into the air, recalling the message from the Tower of Heroes he had just heard.
“Tower of Heroes! I, Ilho, will move to the next floor with Deguri!”
Then, a message from the top replied.
– Hero, you are the only one who can challenge the next floor.
-No one other than the selected warriors can climb the ‘Tower of Warriors’.
Ilho’s face hardened like a rock.
He couldn’t escape from here alone, leaving Deguri behind.
‘The sole god.’
I’m embarrassed to ask for help every time, but I couldn’t come up with a way to save Deguri and get out of here.
“The great and merciful One God, please give me your wisdom…”
It was when Ilho was about to ask the One God for help.
