Episode 249 The first sortie of the Ming Dynasty (5)
Transparent blue light intertwined with the blade of the sword.
A shining light heart, white burning eyes. Nirgand’s image continued to be reflected in it. Since it resembles a crow, its facial expression is not as obvious as that of a human, but it is half recognizable. The fact that he is accepting the end.
It was something very familiar to the class. All of the enemies she has faced so far have shown a similar appearance to Nirgand. Whether human or god.
[Phew… … Yeah, who can survive you? It’s just a bit of a shame that I couldn’t directly see the moment when that blue sword decapitated their necks.]
Nirgand’s spirit and solar energy were rapidly amplifying. Golden crystals sprouted all over Nirgand’s body like giant horns.
Normally, he would use his hands first before the power grew too great, but Ban waited until the brothers were far enough away to gather his brain power.
Eventually, when all three fighting kings were completely out of sight, Sigmund was the first to split the air.
It was a blunt sword, obviously the blade was falling very slowly, as if it was sinking into the air.
However, before the blade’s movement ends, or from the very moment it moves. Nirgand’s body was already split in half, throwing black flesh and golden chunks all over the battlefield.
[Whoops… … !]
A dark scream spread.
He realized it as soon as he cut himself. The state that Ban has shown now is not a sword mixed with lies and disturbing the senses.
will.
It was not the blade that cut Nirgand’s body, but the will of Ban, which has already spread throughout the Black Sea. Therefore, there was not a single spot left on the battlefield for Nirgand to avoid or hide.
The battlefield was already filled with millions of swords wielded by Tushin. Therefore, Nirgand had no choice but to give up evasion from the beginning.
There is only one choice.
To confront and move forward. If Nirgand hadn’t accepted in advance that today was the end, he would have lost his sense of helplessness right now.
[Wow… … !]
The torn and broken body continued to come back together again.
That was a decision made by the Piece of Sun, regardless of Nirgand’s will. The pieces were reborn as stronger crystals by swallowing up the scattered soul energy of Nirgand, but the unique cloudy energy of the soul energy was not added at all.
This was because the origin stone, the prototype of the Five Kings of the Black Sea, resembled the power of the sun god. The reason the piece brought by the Sun God Church was transplanted to Nirgand so quickly, and the fact that the piece is now merging with soul energy, was because there was no problem at all in terms of compatibility in the first place.
Kuddeuk, kigi geek-!
Torn apart and put back together. Not even five minutes had passed since the battle began, but Nirgand had already lost his shape more than a thousand times.
Of course, to the Five Kings of the Black Sea, form was just a trivial means of indicating status, but Van was the only one in the world who could trample Nirgand at this speed.
What if Changseong’s warriors, including Shiron, Ban, Jin, and Luna, did not exist in this world?
Nirgand has the power to end the world at any time. Because nothing other than Changseong can deal a fundamental blow to the Five Kings of the Black Sea.
[Ban, what are you trying to become? What do you want to become and have this power?]
“It’s a question I was mistaken about for a long time. I thought I was fighting for the survival and prosperity of the Ming Dynasty. “I just thought that was it.”
Nirgand’s will to fight crashes through his entire body, and hundreds of thousands of thunderstorms pour down behind him.
The black land of the Black Sea, stained with spirit, remained nowhere on the battlefield. The blue thunder energy emitted by Ban and the solar energy of Nirgand were constantly colliding, creating white shock waves.
[But?]
“Now it’s the same reason I came here and cut you down. “My strength was for Brother Jin.”
[Jin Runkandel… … Are you referring to Siron’s son?]
“Yes.”
The ‘us’ that Ban spoke of does not only include the Ming Dynasty.
“It means that we are not just beings with a lot of power like me, my brothers, and you. We are either monsters from the beginning, or we are destined to become monsters someday. “Like you and my foolish ancestor who gave you that power.”
Sharp golden shards rained down from Nirgand’s wings and hit Van. It was the first time Nirgand successfully counterattacked.
The fragments caused scratches all over Ban’s body, but none of them penetrated deeply. All that happened was a few drops of blood.
“But not Brother Jin. “Brothers, we will accomplish something that has never been done before in the world.”
[What on earth is that?]
“I don’t know exactly. I just feel it. Only Brother Jin could do it. For example, saving the world. “I am just a sword to do the job.”
[Salvation? It’s abstract. Can you be a little more specific?]
It wasn’t a mockery. Nirgand was feeling purely curious. I wanted to understand why a person of this size chose Jin Runkandel.
Nirgand had already thought about Jin several times before Van mentioned him. He was the one who killed his brother Gliek, and he was also the person Shiron mentioned the most.
Unlike Gliec, the Five Kings who had been in the Black Sea had been attempting to infiltrate Siron’s inner world from time to time. Of course, Nirgand also tormented Siron like that more than a dozen times, and there were many inner thoughts related to Jin in his inner world.
Now that I think about it again, I think Shiron also looked at Jin with a similar perspective as Ban.
“You wouldn’t want a world where nothing happened because of someone else’s will, Nirgand. In such a world, even this fight would have no meaning. “If the person with that power doesn’t want your life, they can just erase it.”
[Such power does not exist. Looks like you’re talking about Zipple, they will fail. Even if you are hostile to them, there seems to be no small possibility.]
“It exists. And although I may be the strongest person in the world, I cannot stop that power. “That falls solely on Brother Jin.”
[Is it fate? … .]
Half actually felt that way. It is said that a great fate that is difficult to explain in words is looking only at Jinman.
At that moment, Nirgand looked up at the sky in shock.
Even though I had accepted my planned death, I had no intention of going through the final fight lightly. However, the reason Nirgand looked up now was because he felt eyes on him.
It was the witch’s gaze peering at herself and her class. As far as Nirgand knew, it was the first time the witch had shown signs of such agitation.
Unlike Nirgand, Van did not feel the witch’s gaze. However, Ban only guessed that there must be a reason for Nirgand’s sudden action.
‘I can’t feel it, and if Nirgand can know it, it must be something very closely related to soul energy. Then there are only witches.’
This isn’t the first time a witch has caught a glimpse of herself. Unlike now, there was a time when I came to La Prarosa to meet Van. In fact, Van could be said to be the person the witch had looked at the most so far.
Half of them didn’t care and continued the battle.
Immediately after the flurry of debris passed, Sigmund stretched out like a light. Van closed the distance to Nirgand in an instant, and the blade was already touching his heart, a piece of the sun god.
As soon as the blade touched the piece, an explosion sounded. For the class, it was the first time in a long time that they were unable to cut down something they decided to kill with one sword.
The repulsive force instantly lifted the class into the air. Nirgand roared and shot his golden horn at her. Golden rays erupted from both eyes.
Instead of avoiding all of them, Ban descended head-on and fired a flash towards the piece of sun again. The fragments of the horn that could not be removed pierced Ban’s collarbone, waist, and thighs deeply.
But those injuries were just a choice made to attack the piece more effectively. The decision was made to cut the second blow without fail.
‘If we want to prevent even a little of Nirgand’s power from leaking outside the Black Sea, now is the right time.’
In that brief moment when half of the weapons fell, all the brain energy that covered the entire battlefield was condensed into Sigmund. Because of this, the entire landscape is completely covered in golden light in an instant.
Both Van and Nirgand sensed that the fight was coming to an end. Even though the sun was covering Ban, the speed at which she was falling did not slow down at all.
The blue blade split Nirgand’s head.
Then, without hesitation, they rushed towards the sculpture of the sun god. The piece immediately released all the solar energy it had inside before the blade touched it, but half of it did not bounce off like it did the first time.
Squeak… … !
Van felt a dull sensation as if his bone had been caught in the blade, but it only lasted for a moment. Sigmund fell to the ground, cutting off the pieces of the sun god.
When the piece that had been spreading golden brilliance throughout was cut down, Nirgand’s spirit contained within began to pour out.
Nirgand’s body was no longer restored. Particles of soul energy and solar energy were flying in all directions.
“Whoa… … .”
Ban caught his breath and looked down at Nirgand’s huge eyes on the floor. Those eyes were not filled with anger or sadness, but curiosity. What on earth was Jyn Runkandel that made someone like you decide to exist only for him, such a curiosity.
Soon, the pupils of my eyes shattered like piles of dead sand. Nirgand met his end without knowing the answer.
The brain energy of the fighting kings scattered across the sky was spreading. This is to prevent the soul energy and solar energy radiating from Nirgand’s corpse from spreading outside.
‘The energy is bigger than I expected. It will take a little more effort to clean it up… … .’
Just as I was thinking about it.
Van slowly turned his head beyond Nirgand’s corpse. In the distance, this was the location of the portal last used by Nirgand.
In it, even though it was my first time encountering it, I felt a very familiar energy.
It was the energy of Shiron.
