[ Gather together, Forest of Beasts! (3) ]
Flash!
Kwak Kwa Kwa Kwam!
The lightning that was pouring down with the momentum to tear the world apart embroidered the night sky like a spider’s web.
“Aaaaaagh!”
Ilho screamed as if it would tear.
Even his body, which was trained like steel, could not protect Ilho from that terrible lightning.
“How dare there be dirty worms in the paradise I manage!”
The hood of the monster, who pours out huge waves of lightning with his cane, was pulled back, revealing his hidden face.
It was a raccoon god with a large black spot on his face.
“Get rid of the bugs!”
That was the last thing Ilho heard.
“Quaaaaagh!”
bang!
Whoops!
Il-ho, who had been burnt black by the lightning, was thrown off the island by the lightning.
coo coo.
Deguri, who was sleeping in a hut with a pointed roof resembling a sea urchin //was startled by the sound of thunder.
Then, out the window, I saw a burning meteor speeding past.
Deguri murmured with a worried face involuntarily.
“Ilho… Hey?”
* * *
“Ilho! Where are you?”
As soon as the day dawned, Deguri rolled around the island trying to find Il-ho, but he was nowhere to be seen. Tears welled up in Deguri’s round eyes.
“Huh! Guys, have you not seen Number One?”
The gods who had been working hard in the field from early morning tilted their heads.
“Ilho? Who is Ilho?”
“Did you ever have a friend like that?”
“It’s the first name I’ve heard.”
“Isn’t Deguri misunderstood?”
The dog Shinsu Ahji wiped the crying deguri’s face with a handkerchief.
“For that cheerful deguri to even cry, he must have had a terrifying nightmare.”
“Don’t cry, Deguri. Today is Deguri’s birthday!”
“Look forward to it. I’ll play the violin nicely!”
“Mongsil will give you a sweater made of my wool!”
“It’s a banquet! banquet! Exciting grunt!”
The fox, sheep, and pig spirits smiled brightly and circled around Deguri.
Deguri felt strange about such friends.
Why can’t everyone remember number one?
Although it was a very short time, Il-ho plowed Mi-nyang’s field with his bare hands, and even a large rock embedded in Honey-guy’s wasteland shouted, “Geun Yu-wook!” He was a precious friend who pulled out and saved a quack from being eaten by a shark he met while fishing, but how can no one remember?
and after a few hours.
A party was held to celebrate Deguri’s birthday.
“Deguriya Deguriya~ Happy Birthday!”
“Try eating this grunt! These are the pork potatoes I raised!”
“It’s a pearl oyster I picked up from the sea!”
It was a great birthday party with gifts from friends piled up, delicious food and upbeat music, but Deguri wasn’t happy at all.
‘Huh. Where is Ilho?’
Deguri’s mind was filled with thoughts of the missing Ilho.
“Is everyone enjoying the banquet?”
A voice that sounded like scratching iron pierced through the merry music.
“Oh, is that guy?”
“It’s like an apostle!”
A dwarf monster stood there, covered in a dirty black robe and holding an old staff.
“Worship the apostle of Kangsik and the Beast of Deception!”
The divine beasts were delighted and bowed to the apostle all at once.
He was the lifesaver who protected them from the god of destruction and led them to Eden.
Swoop.
Sado pulled back his hood, revealing the wrinkled face of a raccoon dog.
“Apostle, for what reason did you descend today? Have you brought a new friend, conspiracy?”
A cow divine beast with a magnificent body spoke to the apostles on behalf of the divine beasts.
In fact, the only time the apostles visited Eden was to bring a new beast to the island once or twice a year.
The raccoon apostle, Jjapa, glanced at the deguri and put a hand with ugly fingernails in his sleeve.
“Today we descended to celebrate Deguri’s birthday.”
Glitter!
A golden apple shining like the sun shone dazzlingly in Chappa’s hand.
“Come on, take it. Deguriya. A golden apple tree filled with the divine power of ‘Kangshik and the Beast of Deception’ that you so longed for. It is because God has taken good care of you and bestowed you specially.”
The eyes of the gods widened wide.
“I bet those aren’t golden apples!”
“Wow! Deguri is good!”
“I envy you!”
That golden apple is what all the gods living in Eden long for.
It was the supreme treasure that was said to be able to resurrect the world destroyed by the god of destruction.
But it was strange.
The golden apple I longed for.
It was Deguri who wanted to revive the people who served him and his dead family with that.
‘It’s so scary!’
I was so afraid of that golden apple shining divinely in the hands of the apostle Chappa.
Is it animal instinct?
Chorong Anglerfish, which lives in the deep sea, attracts and eats prey with the shiny antennae on its head.
Deguri felt that sacred golden apple shining right in front of his eyes like the light of a lantern.
“Why not? Could it be that you are rejecting the sacred object that God gave you right now?”
As Deguri hesitated, Chappa’s face crumpled fiercely.
“Deguriya, what are you doing?”
“You mean you won’t accept the golden apple God gave you right now?”
“Disrespectful Turtle!”
Tsutsutsu!
At the same time, the eyes of the gods turned red.
“Hey guys, why grin?”
Deguri backed away involuntarily with a frightened face.
“Kreureung!”
The new beasts, whose atmosphere had completely changed, surrounded such a deguri so that it could not escape, and stretched out their hands with sharp claws protruding.
“Come on, eat it!”
“God wants a deguri!”
“Quickly eat the apple before you pull out all those nasty thorns and throw it away!”
Deguri screamed at the sight of the divine beasts forcibly opening their mouths and feeding them golden apples.
“crying! Ilhoyaaaaa help me!”
flinch!
“Hmm?”
In an instant, the apostle Jjapa wriggled his eyebrows like a caterpillar. Dusky gray eyes stared across the island.
“I guess that worm still hasn’t given up.”
The apostle Chapa solemnly shouted, stamping his staff into the ground with Kung.
“As an apostle of the great ‘Beast of Eating and Deceiving’, I cannot allow a petty worm to invade our sacred Eden! Eden! In the name of my apostle, Jjapa, I command you to fly!”
-Puuuuuu!
Then, as if to answer, the island cried and the island began to shake.
Hard!
The 666th divine beast of Eden that was hidden.
Eden, a gigantic sky whale carrying an entire island on his back, began to rise toward the blue sky wriggling its fins.
* * *
Slurr.
The eyelids of Il-ho, who had lost consciousness and was adrift in the sea, darkened by the lightning, dimly opened.
“Eyes…”
Did the lightning strike the cornea?
Everything I could see was hazy, as if it were covered in fog.
“Ah, I am still so weak.”
Ilho sighed deeply.
The muscles he had been so fond of could not withstand the lightning strikes of the evil angel’s apostle. It was so embarrassing to be called a warrior like this.
“crying! Ilhoyaaaaa help me!”
At that time, Ilho, who was blaming himself, heard a faint scream from Deguri.
Ilho suddenly regained consciousness.
“We must go!”
Although his throbbing body still did not have enough strength, Ilho moved his limbs in the direction where Deguri’s screams came from, clenching his teeth as if they were about to bleed.
Right now, a friend is desperately asking for help.
It is not too late to sigh after saving him.
Chaaaaagh!
At Ilho’s gesture, the calm sea split like a strong wave.
The silhouette of a huge island began to appear in the hazy field of view.
“Wait a minute! Deguri! I, number one, go!”
But that was then.
Whoa!
The island began to move along with the cry of the gigantic beast that shook the heavens and the earth.
Hard!
Wow!
The island was violently shaken, and at the same time, a tsunami incomparable to the waves that Ilho raised swallowed Ilho.
“…Puha! Whoops!”
Il-ho, who had sunk into the sea, came to the surface with a heavy breath.
But by then, the island had already disappeared.
oh oh oh!
Instead, a huge shadow covered Ilho.
“…!”
Ilho raised his head in surprise.
The silhouette of an indescribably gigantic beast flying in the sky, wriggling its huge fins, was reflected in Ilho’s eyes.
“I hate to eat! Ilho Yaaang! Save me!”
And now, Deguri’s screams were coming from the very sky.
Ilho was in despair.
With his body blind and barely able to see, he was barely adrift in the sea, and there was no way to chase the beast that was escaping into the sky.
“The Great and Merciful One God… are you watching?”
Slurp!
Took! Tutu-tuk!
The hot, salty tears flowing from Ilho’s eyes poured down like rain towards the sea.
“That Ilho is still too weak and helpless to be a warrior. But I dare ask God. Please allow me to save those poor divine beings who are being harassed by evil spirits! Please give me the wings of God to chase them!”
With the feeling of a drowning person grabbing at least a straw, Ilho desperately prayed to the only god.
But fear crept in.
Even if He is He, can He give Himself wings?
Just as he was in danger of death when he had a decisive battle with the demons of the Three Associations last time, the Sole God also had a limit to his power.
-…Ilhoni? oh my head I’m feeling a little better now shit. What kind of dream was it just now?
I heard the solitary moan as if holding my head in pain.
-Ugh, Ilho. Did you say wings? Wait a minute. Even if you don’t have wings, there are good ones instead. Hey Mr. Junghyeok Gal. Let’s borrow it for a second.
-What are you doing! Don’t touch my armor!
– Well, let’s borrow it for a while.
– Kwak! Wow! Kwak Kwa Kwa Kwam!
– Aaaaagh! Stop that! rather kill it!
A riot and terrible screams rang out.
-Oh, this gentleman. be a little quiet Angtal is. It’s a bit too big to give right away. Ilho, would you like to make it bigger for a second? Max size?
Il-ho did not understand why, but he faithfully followed God’s words.
“Skill ‘Giant’!”
Tsutsutsu!
Then, Ilho’s body, slightly larger than that of an ant, grew to the size of a human male due to his gigantic skill.
-good. Ilho, take it.
-Titling!
– The only God bestows a soul armor to ‘Ilho’, a warrior and his apostle.
– Since it is not a direct help, you will not be penalized for the ordeal.
Great! Blasphemy!
The air parted, and parts of black armor rained down on Ilho.
Chunk! Chunk!
It stuck to Ilho’s body like a magnet.
But it was no ordinary armor. The burns on his body from lightning were no longer painful. Even his eyes, which had been unable to see well, recovered, and an unfamiliar array of letters appeared on his retinas.
-New user ‘Ilho’ Recognition Soul Synchro On… 100% synchro rate!
-The user ‘Ilho’ and the soul armor perfectly assimilate!
-The Soul Armor Lazenka senses Pilot Ilho’s will. Do you want to use the flight function the way you want?
Ilho shed tears of emotion.
Ah, how dare I doubt this person. As expected, my one and only God was omnipotent.
