Episode 1121
Chapter 258 Predator of All Dimensions (11)
Keliak’s eyes widened.
My darkest child.
There is only one being whom the Sun God’s self could describe as such.
‘Heluram…!?’
While conquering hundreds of dimensions, Keliak never once directly clashed with the True God of Heluram. I only experienced a few battles with my self-immolation.
It’s not because facing Heluram is burdensome even for Keliak. Just because she always ran away. Into an abyss that even Masindae can’t trace.
Therefore, whenever Keliak conquered or destroyed her dimension, he would erase her and her abyss itself with the demon stone of that world. There was no need to endure the trouble of forcibly entering the abyss, but simply erasing it from history was enough.
Therefore, Keliak did not rate Heluram very highly. He acknowledged that he was a transcendent being beyond the sun god’s ego, but he was just one of the special immortals who could not dare to oppose him.
Hwiiii…, Hwiiii….
Suddenly, a chilling sound of wind began to be heard, and the Annihilation Flame Jade was covered in darkness of the same size, as if there was a solar eclipse.
‘This power… is not an alter ego.’
The terrible heat spreading across the battlefield was quickly subsiding. The Annihilation Flame Jade, which no one could dare to stop, began to cool down as soon as Heluram appeared.
This is my first time encountering the power of the True God.
However, Keliac was not very surprised when he saw the Annihilation Flame Jade covered in darkness and its immense power.
‘It’s on a different level compared to the self-immolation I’ve experienced before… but according to the Demon God Stone’s calculations, it’s possible. It does not deviate significantly from the expected level. What should I do, Heluram? ‘Can you show me something that surpasses the Demon God Stone’s calculations?’
Darkness completely covered the Annihilation Flame Jade.
Eventually, Heluram appeared within it.
‘The author is… the witch Heluram.’
Jin, the Changseongs, and everyone standing on the battlefield looked up at the sun that had been dyed black.
The form Heluram took seemed no different from that of a human. Her face was covered by a veil, but even from a distance you could see that she was white, and the black dress that clung to her body was long enough to reach the ground.
Aside from her clothes, her appearance was unremarkable, but anyone could tell from the moment they first saw her that she was the witch Heluram.
Just as those who see darkness immediately know what darkness is without anyone teaching them, just as when you encounter fire, you immediately know that it is hot.
If it was original.
Those who could not reach Changseong could fall into the abyss just by looking at Heluram. Unless she allows herself to be seen.
Focal’s words, ‘I came to greet you’ and the determination he showed at that moment meant that he would protect people from him.
Therefore, as soon as Heluram appeared, it was Fokal who suffered the most. Her Fokal’s solar energy was causing unstable waves, weighed down by her abyssal power, and Heluram did not even care about her.
[Foolish orphan, if you just needed salvation, there would have been easier and better ways than this.]
Keliak burst out laughing at that eerie voice.
“Salvation? In your eyes, do I look like someone who needs something like that?”
[Everyone will look at you like that. Those who are mired in the swamp of desire and longing are bound to have the same empty eyes. Whether you are standing high or crawling on the floor.]
“You always try to judge me by running away and being erased from history. Well, I’m not curious about your thoughts. However, if you want to push through, show your strength and authority. “I mean, try to make me despair.”
The Annihilation Flame Jade was covered, but the rivers of magic it created were still twisting and interlocking fiercely.
He roared as if nothing would change even if Heluram appeared. Then, the darkness and soulfulness spread by the witch became even more intense, and the energies of the two people began to clash in earnest.
Their power existed not only in the limited area of the battlefield, but also in places that were generally unrecognizable, such as all kinds of sub-spaces that stretched out like uninhabited islands on the sea, and gaps in dimensional entrances to the world.
Abyss and magic collide in all those spaces. Even though the smallest amount of force was impacting the battlefield, the entire area shook as if someone from outside was holding it with both hands and shaking it.
It wasn’t just an earthquake.
The entire space is turbulent, like the sea in a storm. The ground tilted diagonally, and the soldiers instinctively held on to the ground and looked down into the distance.
Although they had already endured a fight that seemed unreal, the battlefield was now shaking like a midnight nightmare.
The ground rises and tilts at a right angle, and the fleet crashes into the ground. The ground actually broke apart due to being blocked by the protective shield.
Then it sinks, floats, and rotates again. In seconds, something physically impossible happened. Each time, the space that was suddenly emptied by the bizarre movement, i.e. the basement or the sky, was replaced by something blank that looked like a bubble.
No one knows what’s inside. But everyone on the battlefield had an intuition. If you fall into that white bubble even once, you will never be able to return.
“What the hell is this?”
“Aaaah, ahhh!”
“Please save me, Lord Londo!”
In the meantime, no matter how much the Demon Goddess was abandoned as an arrow catcher, no matter how fierce the coalition’s attack was, or even if it was just killed due to Keliac’s whim, there was never a person begging for their life.
They just rushed forward blindly, like demons brainwashed by Jito. But now, the members of the Demon Gods were acting like ‘living’ people for the first time.
Thinking that this is not right, raising your voice for survival, reflecting on what value this war really has, and expressing on your face that you do not want to be killed like a dog.
That was evidence of suspicion.
The suspicion that Keliak might face defeat was causing cracks in the loyalty created by fear and blindness. Keliac’s defeat meant that the Demon Stone would no longer be able to bring back the dead. After all, you will no longer be able to control time.
Of course, that suspicion alone did not cause the magicians of the Demon Gods to suddenly change. Heluram, the darkness spreading from her, was coloring their inner selves. To overcome that darkness, there were essential elements.
Cause, and bond.
The desire to conquer matter and time can never become a cause, and those who become one only through desire cannot realize true solidarity.
That’s why Masindae was unable to clear the witch’s abyss. Those who had previously not trembled after seeing tens or millions of people being crushed like insects were now feeling fear as if they were abandoned in a cave alone.
“The enemy is agitated, riders, protect your allies!”
On the other hand, the Bamul coalition was no different from before.
None of the Union members stood on this battlefield to die. In the end, the determination to fight for the world even if I have to die and the mindset that it doesn’t matter if I die are fundamentally different. The difference between pride and belief, between those who have them and those who do not, is finally becoming apparent.
[The Immortal and I make a tent to step on instead of the ground. No matter how the space is distorted, just find the tent we created and throw yourself into it!]
The response itself was the same for both Union and Masindae. Using powers such as spiritual energy, magical energy, or solar energy, it creates an area that can support the body instead of a distorted space.
What was different was attitude. No matter how intensely the survival instinct pricked inside them, the Union members reached out more desperately to those they were fighting with than to themselves.
“Don’t fall!”
“The leader of the Demon Gods will eventually be shaken just like those guys. If you hold on, you can go back. “La Fra Rosa is still alive and well!”
As Runtia said, while the entire battlefield was shaking and distorting, Laprarosa stood tall like a mountain.
We must lift the curse and allow Jhin to receive the Solderet legacy.
Even with the advent of the witch, the Union’s top goal has not changed. Rather, it should be said that it has become more important.
The transcendental beings that are currently assisting the Alliance on the battlefield all have different goals from the Alliance. Malugia wants the ultimate end, and Heluram wants a world where light does not exist.
Even if Keliak was defeated and retreated right away, if they couldn’t deal with them all, it would be a defeat. Only the Federation was struggling not to lose this world. We were fighting to protect memories, memories, land, and people.
“Ke, Lord Keliak! Well, how about I step down? “The damage is so big!”
“The people who laughed so much when they first encountered Heluram through the text shown by the demon stone are now saying that it is scary and want to run away. “If we destroy our enemies, we will be able to smile and reminisce about this day for a long time.”
Keliac was bursting into laughter as if he was truly enjoying the sight of the demonic platform collapsing. Her eyes were bloodshot and red, and a bloody cough and heavy breathing came out of her mouth.
He was the one who seemed to be finally on the defensive even before Heluram appeared. Now he was clearly exhausted and looked as if he would collapse at any moment and never get up again.
“Hehehe…! It seemed like something only you were allowed to do, not to fall when you should. Not dying when you should? “You’re welcome, I am truly immortal.”
Phew…!
Krantel struck Keliak’s head. This time, the blade stopped after splitting his head in half, and for a moment, he looked like a dead person losing focus in his eyes.
It was literally a momentary victory. Keliak pulled out the ax sword stuck in his head with his left hand and threw Luna.
‘It was only for a moment, but I definitely lost consciousness! Playback also became slower.’
If he continued to inflict critical blows like this, he might be able to cut him down before the demon stone arrived.
Luna thought so and took Crantel again. And Heluram was looking down at Keliak and saying this.
[Celiac Jeep…, is the item you are waiting for completely intact? Why do you think I came to you only now?]
