– Volume 19, Chapter 4
454. The Seventh Return to Earth (6)
The apostle moves. Mucus, split into dozens, rushes toward Taesan.
The power contained in each of them was a power that even Taesan could not ignore.
Taesan put strength into the hand holding the sword.
Quagga Gaga River!
An explosion goes off. Taishan stepped out. He uses his arms, legs and whole body
and handles his sword. The slime bursts and scatters in all directions.
Taesan gathered the magic as it was.
[You activated Baal’s Jet-Dark Space Surge.]
The black space flies toward the apostle. The apostle quickly gathered the scattered slime to defend himself.
Whoops!
A roar erupted.
There was a slight but slight loss in the body of the mucous vagina of the apostle hit by the space surge.
Apostle of the Gods. An existence that destroys countless worlds and disturbs them.
Its strength is transcendent. Even Diana, who has reached the boundary line, has little chance of winning against the apostle.
but.
‘I am stronger.’
It was in the return of the 6th Earth that he won against the apostles, and he became overwhelmingly stronger than that time.
The apostle in front of him did not seem to have much difference from the apostle at that time, but he was no match for him.
There was no reason to delay. Taesan stamped his foot. In an instant, he rushed towards the apostle.
And at that moment, the slime that made up the apostle’s body exploded.
Judging that it was an attack, Taesan protected himself with divine power.
However, the scattered slime did not aim for Taesan.
[What?]
The apostles became the size of a very small drop of water and were divided into thousands and tens of thousands.
‘separation?’
I could feel the apostle’s will and strength in the smallest of the slime.
that’s the nucleus Taesan reflexively tried to aim for the slime, but the slime was scattered in all directions.
It obscured his vision and disturbed his senses. Because it was such a small fragment, Taesan momentarily missed the location of the nucleus.
Mucus was dividing all over the United States, as if it had no intention of fighting Taesan.
“tsu”
./、.
Taesan clicked his tongue. He realized what the apostle was aiming for. He fired magic and black magic at the rapidly dispersing slime.
Quagga Gaga River!
In an instant, thousands of mucus evaporated and disappeared.
But far more than that were scattered in all directions.
Taesan quickly followed after him.
The apostle’s purpose was not to conquer Taishan. It wasn’t even about targeting people
.
It was the destruction of pillars that appeared all over the United States.
“Is it okay to wait here like this?”
The Korean guarding the pillar said with an ambiguous face.
He was Changchun Lee.
Not a top hardmode player, but down to the mid 60th floor and has top power.
His role was the defense of the columns in the American interior.
However, since most of the monsters were coming from outside the United States, there was nothing he could do while the fierce fight was taking place.
“Looks like I have to go help.”
” no.”
The French hard mode player said at his worried words.
“The goal of the quest is always a pillar. If you focus your strength only on the front, you won’t be able to respond when the enemy is aiming here. It is correct that the minimum number of defense personnel is deployed.”
“I think so, but it’s very uncomfortable.”
Changchun Lee grumbled and suppressed his emotions.
It was time for him to kill time by staring blankly ahead.
“…huh?”
Something small was floating in front of him.
“mucus?”
It was black slime.
It was so small that you could miss it if you weren’t paying attention.
“What is that?”
The moment Lee Chang-chun wondered and tried to approach him, the slime exploded.
In an instant, the slime swelled to the size of a small garden. It rushed to devour the players guarding the pillar along with the pillar. They were unable to respond to
the sudden incident.
At that moment, the magic circle that Taesan had spread was activated.
Kiyiing!
A barrier of brilliant blue light blocked the slime’s attack. Then, realizing the situation, they screamed and raised their weapons.
“What!”
“Enemies!”
Among them, the impatient one hurriedly went out of the barrier to fight back against the slime. At the same time, the slime violently
engulfed him.
” ah?”
I realized later that something was wrong, but by then it was already too late. Those who went outside the barrier resisted, but they were eaten without much meaning.
Only then did they realize that the slime in front of them was something they could not defeat.
The slime grows back and strikes the barrier.
The barrier begins to crack.
“…What should I do?”
“What do you do? I have to risk my life to stop it.”
They hold their weapons with a determined face. barriers are broken It was the moment when I was about to run away with a shout.
Kwaaang!
The mucus disappeared with the binge drinking.
“uh?”
Those who were prepared for death hesitated. It felt like something had passed, but I couldn’t see or feel it on their level.
“…Taesan-nim?”
* * *
Taesan quickly jumped.
He was tracking down the slime scattered in all directions and erasing it one by one.
But there was no end to this. Slimes numbered in the tens of thousands and were scattered across the United States. No matter how strong Taishan was, it would take considerable damage to clear it all up.
“Akasha. assist.”
[According to the master’s will.]
[You have activated stacking magic.]
[You have activated Great Collapse [Unclean].]
Unclean magic begins to stack.
And only then did Kim Hwi-yeon, realizing that each column was under attack through telecommunications, quickly shouted.
“every! Use the magic circle to move to each pillar!”
Gosin’s purpose is
not to kill them, but to break the pillar.
Before the monsters entered, it was meaningless to maintain the battle line in a state where they had already entered.
People quickly used Beldenkia’s magic circle to move towards the column being attacked by the apostles.
At the same time the slime covered them.
“Stop it with your life!”
“Aaaaa!”
Screams and cheers erupt. Before the barrier surrounding the pillar is destroyed,
throw your body to block it.
Even though they were apostles, they were separated into tens of thousands of branches, so if they did their best with the help of the magic circle, they could block them for a while.
And during that time, Taesan finished the magic.
The Great Collapse of Injustice was stacked three times and released as it is.
[You activated magic liberation.]
The cohesive Great Collapse runs high into the sky. A black sun rises over the American mainland.
[You activated a magic explosion.]
Then the sun exploded.
Divided immeasurably and scattered in all directions. Taesan focused his mind as it was. Through Akasha’s assistance, it senses all the apostles scattered across the US mainland and locates them.
Then, she blows her magic towards the exact spot.
[You have activated Magic Pursuit.]
[You have activated Strike.]
The bursting sun becomes rain and pierces the earth.
Koo Goo Goo Goo!
The apostles who were aiming for the pillar are pierced by the rain and explode. Some moved quickly to evade, but the dark rain accurately pierced the apostles.
Losing more than half of the slime in an instant, the apostle dug deep into the earth.
The situation has calmed down a bit. People who were holding their breath grasped the situation and shouted.
“It’s Taesan!”
“He saved us!”
A newly born faith begins to dwell in Taesan.
Taesan, who quickly captured his faith, threw himself away.
“Mr. Tae Tae-san. What happened?”
“The guy I was dealing with is scattered all over the place, aiming for the pillar. Their goal is not to kill us. The destruction of the pillar.”
“As expected… from now on, I’ll focus on defending the pillars rather than maintaining the front lines.”
Hwiyeon Kim hurriedly nodded.
Thanks to the base station Taesan fixed, communication
was immediately established. The decision was communicated to everyone immediately.
People gathered in pillars.
And the monsters also changed.
Ordinary monsters have almost disappeared, and those that either delay time or self-destruct to deal great damage have appeared.
‘There’s no way he’s barely on the apostle level.’
The current Taishan is very strong.
Beldencia and Diana also joined them.
Of course, the limit of the power that Gosin can show
has also increased.
However, what appeared was the same apostle as in the previous return.
In this quest, I felt the will to focus on destroying the pillars and mobilize all my strength at the end.
‘I don’t intend to suffer as it is.’
[You activated Frozen World.]
Damn it!
A cold blast freezes all the monsters in front. Taishan took out a moving spear with his own will
. The spear made of arrows was able to move freely regardless of Mount Tai. It moved quickly and penetrated the monsters.
People burst into exclamations mixed with moans.
If he made up his mind and moved, monsters below level A could not even set foot in the United States.
But Taesan couldn’t move easily.
The presence of the apostle hiding deep in the earth could not be detected. I don’t know
if it was optimized to hide myself
or if I used other means, but I didn’t know when and where the apostle would pop out.
“Please.”
“Yes!”
Kim Hwi-yeon replied vigorously.
People did their best.
Telecommunications were used to strategically deploy personnel and move people whenever necessary.
And Taesan focused on blocking the apostle.
Kulleong.
American West. Slime appears in the column at the end. The players who figured out the slime belatedly screamed. It was the moment they were preparing for the shock.
Quadduk!
The mucus is crushed and disappears.
Taesan appeared in its place.
Taesan waved his hand.
[You have activated Starlight Arrow.]
[You have activated Magic Separation.]
[You have activated Magic Pursuit.]
Kiyeeing!
An arrow of starlight draws an orbit. In an instant, it penetrates all slime that has appeared all over the United States.
and stamp your feet
The body flies in the sky. The air explodes and accelerates beyond human control.
Taishan reached the eastern end in an instant.
There, he annihilated the slime that was about to attack the pillar.
The people guarding the pillar stuttered
.
“I’m sure he was in the West just a moment ago, but…
“He flew in.”
“Uh…
people are speechless.
The apostle was using all kinds of means to escape the snow of Mount Tai and destroy the pillar.
But all of them were blocked.
The mucus rapidly diminished. It won’t be long before the body of the apostle
will be finished.
However, the situation of the other players was not good.
At first, there were no problems. The leaders of each country did their best, so they were able to stop it without major damage. People have successfully secured all the pillars.
But as time passed, problems arose.
The monsters started to act sharper and faster.
The monsters that appeared were also specialized only in breaking pillars
.
Kagagakak!
“Keo-eo-eok!”
“Block it with your body!”
A drill-like monster charges towards the pillar. People threw their bodies to stop it, but not a few people were injured.
“The injured should go to the Holy Land and recover!”
Oliver shouted wildly.
The problem was simple.
they were finite People died and
the number of wounded increased. It is possible to recover right away from the holy land of Las Vegas, but there was definitely a time to move.
Fatigue piled up from the endless attacks of the monsters and his concentration was disturbed, but the monsters did not.
The tools they are made of. There is no consumption of mental power. He did not stop until he achieved his goal.
Beldenkie, Diana, and Lee Tae-yeon were also tied to the S-class monsters that kept appearing.
As a result, the defense was gradually breached.
“It’s a little early, but it can’t be helped.”
Taesan muttered that and went to see Kim Hwiyeon.
“Give up some pillars.”
” yes?”
“I can’t keep everything anyway.”
Taesan said calmly. He had expected it from the start.
There were too many pillars.
No matter how promptly the personnel were moved, it was impossible to stop them all
.
Rather than lose everything by obsessing over more than one’s ability, give up neatly and take what you want. That was Taesan’s idea.
“Are there any distant pillars without magic circles? Give them up.”
Not all pillars appeared evenly spaced apart. There were also pillars that were relatively very far away.
“And concentrate your strength on the remaining pillars. To the point where I can somehow
survive even if slime appears.”
” Is it possible?”
“It’s difficult in its current state, but giving up a few pillars is enough.”
The apostle, which had been separated into tens of thousands of pieces and whose strength had deteriorated, had lost most of its slime due to the acid.
In its current state, if several of the top hard mode players joined forces, they could buy time, if only for a moment.
” all right.” She
withdrew all
personnel from the remote, difficult-to-defend columns .
Naturally, the defenses of other pillars were strengthened, and the monsters concentrated their strength on the abandoned pillar.
And Taesan moved.
“Open.”
The earth collapses with the spirit of the word.
“laugh!”
Kim Hwi-yeon was terrified for a moment and took a step back from the collapsing earth.
The end of the hole was not visible.
It wasn’t just because it was dark.
It was so deep that even her eyes could not see the end.
Taesan put his body towards it.
The body falls at high speed. It passes through the earth’s surface and penetrates the mantle.
And Taishan reached the deepest part of the earth.
Taesan protected the body and expanded the senses. In an instant, even a single atom in the vicinity is caught in Taesan’s detection.
At the same time, the apostle moves.
It sends slime to the ground
and aims at the pillar. However, those who had already entered Taesan and prepared for it gritted their teeth and blocked the apostle’s attack.
Damn it!
“Big uh uh billion!”
“Ah ah ah ah ah!”
Dozens coughed up blood all at once and collapsed. Instinctively, he realizes that he is such an existence that he cannot resist even the slightest.
If it hadn’t been separated into tens of thousands of branches, they would all have died just by existing here. The existence they were dealing with was such a being.
But don’t back down.
“Hey Taesan!”
They cried out the name of Taishan and rushed towards death.
[Divine power proficiency increased by 1%.]
They endured desperately and eventually protected the pillar. And in the meantime, this Taishan detected everything.
Not only the surface of the earth, but also the inside of the earth is grasped without missing a single thing.
At the end, Taesan was able to grasp the core of the apostle that he had missed.
“Make a way.”
Quadruped!
The rock is pierced and the path is extended.
Taesan immediately flew away. The apostle’s core tried to evade belatedly, but it was already too late.
Taesan accurately pierced the apostle’s core with his sword.
[You have won against 韻®##!]
[Your spirit level has been increased.] [
The twisted spirit level tuning skill
has increased by 4%.]
[Black’s skill level has increased by %[email protected] It did.]
[Borderline proficiency increased by !%#[email protected].]
[Lord’s proficiency increased by 2%.]
[The Will of All Things proficiency increased by 4%.]
[Black [Fragmentation ] ] was obtained.]
At the same time as the apostle fell, the slime attacking the pillars collapsed all at once. Those who risked their lives to defend them were immediately taken aback.
But the bewilderment did not last long.
They realized that it was Taisan that clogged the mucus.
“Ohhhh;”
No matter how much Taishan shows great power, there were definitely people who did not believe in it. In the first place, it was strange that everyone believed in Taishan, since humans are all very different.
However, as the quest progressed, more and more such people were disappearing.
Now, with the exception of a handful of people, all of them began to believe in and look up to Taesan.
[Divine power proficiency has increased by 1%.]
Taesan’s divine power proficiency has reached 99%.
