LIGHTNOVELWORLD chapter 102
102. Elyos (2)
The remains of broken walls were everywhere.
Tou-du-du-duk─ Tou-du-du-duk…
Fragments of the wall floated loosely in the air. A thick cloud of dust flowed. The Elyos approached slowly, stepping on the remains of broken fragments.
gulp.
High elf Ruinerif swallowed his saliva without realizing it and took a step back due to the intimidating feeling radiating from the Elyos’ whole body. Brigitte’s direct escort, Michael, stepped back along with Ruinerif.
Yuma picked up Balmung.
And he looked closely at the Elyos approaching him.
“Only the truth.”
An Elyos with no eyes or nose approached Yuma. Of the pure white angel’s face, the only thing that moved fluidly was the mouth.
“Say it.”
Yuma moved forward, facing the Elyos approaching him.
“Human, Yuma.”
The angel’s words, spoken in a halting voice, continued.
“I ask you a question.”
Yuma listened to the guy’s story with a stern expression.
“I killed a black dragon by myself.”
That voice that continues as if questioning.
“Are you the one who killed the new Increnu?”
Yuma slightly twisted his head.
“I think it’s true that you found out about me.”
A strong cold current flowed between Yuma and the Elyos.
“So what is your business?”
The Elyos’ mouth opened again.
“The karma of an Elyos is to awaken a seed that can kill evil spirits. It is the karma of an Elyos to find a being capable of slaying an evil spirit. It is the karma of an Elyos to awaken that seed.”
The Elyos looked at Yuma and took a step forward.
“If it is true that you have achieved the feats just now, then you have the power to hunt down the ugly evil spirits of the God Realm.”
Jeopuk
“And the same goes for the human woman named Belle who has reached Grand Master. A talent that allows her to be reborn as an apostle who can punish evil spirits. I will take you two to heaven and make you an apostle.”
Yuma corrected Balmung.
“What exactly is that apostle?”
The Elyos explained the Elyos more kindly than I expected.
“An apostle is a warrior who moves according to the will of God. It is to kill evil spirits and other evil spirits to benefit this world. The way for races other than the Elyos to become apostles is to change the human body itself. “In order to preserve the original human talent and character, the body is completely altered and all emotions that are not necessary for battle are erased.”
Yuma tilted his head.
“Change the body. Getting rid of emotions doesn’t mean giving up being human altogether.”
The Elyos tilted their heads at Yuma’s words. It was like a mirror that responded a beat late.
“Isn’t that natural? Emotions are completely unnecessary when dealing with evil spirits. They are just a distraction.”
husks.
Take only the talents your soul possesses. Throw away the rest. That was the truth of the apostolic transformation practiced by the Elyos. And it made it possible for Yuma to not even have to worry about Jinshin.
No matter how strong you can become. Is it even worth throwing away emotions?
Yuma thought that couldn’t be possible.
‘Without abandoning the human body. Even without giving up your emotions.’
Belle and Clone overcome the huge walls they face. It has the potential to transcend humans. Yuma had no doubt that he believed that.
‘Not only will you lose your emotions, but you will become nothing more than a puppet that follows the will of that b*stard called God.’
There is no reason for that to happen.
“You, who achieved such feats. Bell, the human who stands at the highest point that humans can reach. Both of you are vessels that must become apostles. All the humans who have attempted to become apostles so far have had to be discarded after their bodies exploded, but you two are vessels. This seems sufficient.”
Heavenly tribe (天族).
Yuma was convinced by the lines just now that although they were beings with a common goal of killing the ＜Evil God＞, they were beings that should not be involved.
Jeopuk
The Elyos took one step closer.
“If you stay quiet, you won’t die.”
“What if you don’t behave?”
The Elyos’ mouth twitched.
“I need to make him behave.”
Yuma nodded slowly. This is because he has now clearly decided what position to take towards the Elyos.
“try.”
[Lv.529] Sarimun
Race: Apostle-Elyos
Position: Archangel
Realm: God
A military god-level Elyos apostle rushed forward. The tip of the spear rushed in a spiral with white light. Yuma’s eyes looked closely at the rushing spear.
The blade of the white light spins like a spiral, trampling the air. And in the end, it pounced on Yuma’s head.
The tip of the spear, which extended like a flash of lightning, was struck by Balmung’s sword held by Yuma.
Kaaa!!
The golden circular wavelength spread widely.
＜Absolute Counterattack＞ was activated.
The retrograde white light was shot towards the Sarimun gate.
Sarimun moved his wings forward strongly and flew backwards.
Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee…
Sarimun continued to flap his wings with a peaceful face. This was because I was confident that if I continued to avoid it, this attack would end one day.
Paaang—!!
A fierce wind caused by the continuous flapping of wings struck the atmosphere one after another.
Sarimun’s new form instantly moved away like a dot. The high elf Ruineleaf, who was quite embarrassed and had retreated completely, came up to Yuma’s side.
“Can I leave it like that?”
Yuma slowly nodded his head at Ruineleaf’s words.
“Does not matter.”
“It seemed true that I knew you well.”
“Yes, I know very well.”
Yuma walked forward.
“But he probably didn’t know that he would get hit by it. He may have thought that if he avoided it like that, he would avoid it.”
Yuma roughly removed the debris with his feet and came out of the open wall. Before I knew it, I could see the white Elyos, Sarimun, flying in the sky.
Wow!!!
The flapping of Sarimun’s wings continued even in the sky.
The corner of Sarimun’s expressionless mouth suddenly twisted. This is because attacks that he thought he could simply avoid continued to follow him endlessly.
The inducement effect inherent in ＜Absolute Counterattack＞ is chasing Sarimun endlessly.
Sarimun performed an acrobatic stunt by rapidly twisting his entire body and wings to the right, but Baekgwang also turned at a right angle at the same time.
Sarimun, embarrassed, stopped moving in the sky.
Absolute Counterattack did not miss that obvious loophole.
─Quaaa!
Sarimun’s whole body was engulfed in pure white flame and burned. And it completely scattered in the sky, leaving no ashes behind.
Michael, the high elf Ruinerif, and more than a hundred knights who had gathered because of the commotion caused by the wall breaking down witnessed the fall of the Sarimun.
After confirming that the Sarimun was completely destroyed, Yuma quickly used ＜Blink＞ one after another.
‘bell.’
The fact that Elyos came to him meant that there was a high probability that Elyos also came to Belle.
Just before going to the Demon World, he had already given the defense artifact he received from the elves to Bell. It would be possible to defend against even a decent attack two or three times.
And because Bell’s fighting sense and survival instincts far exceeded Yuma’s level, it did not occur to me at all that Bell would have died.
There was also a place where the people of the imperial palace gathered. Coincidentally. It was originally an outdoor training ground where fierce struggles took place every day. In the middle of the outdoor training hall, Bell and an Elyos were engaging in sword fighting.
Bell was clearly being pushed back by the Elyos’ sword. However, she was following the Elyos’ sword path so well that it seemed like she was fighting evenly in the eyes of sword expert level swordsmen.
Ka-ga-ga-ga-!!
The two blades violently bared their teeth at each other, causing red and golden light to bloom.
Yuma looked at the Elyos facing Bell. His appearance was identical to that of Sarimun, whom he had just killed.
[Lv.227] Archmoon
There was a reason why Bell did not even use the power of the artifact and was fighting to the point that at first glance, they were equals.
‘Have you sent down an apostle that matches the target’s level?’
Well, no matter how many Elyos and Apostles there are, none of them will exceed level 300.
Sarimun, who came down from heaven targeting Yuma, died without being able to subdue Yuma, and Archmun, who came down to take Bell away, was also unable to properly subdue Bell.
Bell was swinging his sword frantically.
‘see.’
The sword of Archmoon felt extremely heavy at first, but I got used to it to some extent. And now I have become accustomed to the speed of the sword, which is as fast as a wall, and I am able to keep up with that speed.
The blue flame’s self-defense energy spread throughout Bell’s entire body and expanded its area.
‘Catch it.’
Although strength and speed were increased equally, this was a temporary breakthrough of the limit.
In an instant, I had to raise my power to a level that exceeded the expected range of the Elyos in front of me, Archmoon, and kill them at once.
Belle’s eyes glowed coolly.
Quang!
He took a strong step with his right foot and swung his sword horizontally. A sword drawn with the power to split the world.
A blue half-moon was drawn on the training ground.
Archmoon’s waist was cut in two.
‘─That’s it.’
The feeling that flowed through both hands holding the handle of the sword was by no means an illusion. Uplifting.
A sense of accomplishment filled my toes as I strategically defeated a being that was overwhelmingly stronger than me.
The moment I felt relieved and was about to relax my body, Belle’s eyes widened.
He felt the presence of Archmoon, whom he was sure he had killed, behind him. And Archmoon’s body, which made people confident that it had been cut, was probably an afterimage, but it scattered like dust.
He literally cut down the afterimage.
Qua-duk!
Bell twisted his heel and hurriedly swung his sword. However, the red light aimed at Bell’s neck seemed to be faster than that.
At that moment, Yuma, who had been blinking endlessly towards Bell, grabbed Bell’s shoulder and quickly pulled her towards his body. She then swung her Balmung towards the red light.
Kaaa!
＜Absolute Counterattack＞
A retrograde red ray passed through Archmoon’s head. Archmun’s body, lying miserably on the ground, slowly lost its shape, flowing with white air. It was evaporation.
Before we knew it, many of the countless people in the palace who had gathered were heaving a sigh of relief. Yuma raised her head and looked into the huge pupils between her dark clouds.
It had very large eyes. It’s as if you can see everything about this empire.
The result of looking at the search plan.
Celestial eye.
-This is an eye opened to observe Middle Earth from the heavenly world.
I was able to figure out its identity very easily.
“Ethan.”
Ethan, the ＜Gryphon＞ who became a member of the family and a specialty of the Astes Imperial Palace, quickly approached Yuma’s call.
I was able to get there quickly because I had my feet on the railing on the outside wall of the outdoor training hall.
purr…
Belle looked at Yuma, who had the head of an eagle and the body of a lion, riding on Ethan’s body with a very despondent expression.
A sense of shame that comes from inadvertently confirming victory in a battle that has not yet ended. And the worry that comes from Yuma being disappointed in himself. They weighed on Belle’s mind.
Yuma’s attention was currently focused on the heavens, so he couldn’t pay attention to Bell. Ethan carrying Yuma ascended into the sky.
Nettle liquid-
And according to Yuma’s command, it flapped its wings just below the Celestial Eye and maintained its position quietly.
“If you can hear it, listen. If you can’t hear it, at least infer it from the shape of your mouth. Heaven.”
Yuma continued as he looked into the bizarre Celestial Eye, where countless colors flickered in the pupils.
“I will not make me and Belle, as well as everyone around me, into apostles. This means that I will kill all the Elyos who come down to make you apostles who will punish the evil spirits.”
Terrible─
The huge Celestial Eye closed. Dark gray eyelids came into view. And my eyes opened again. Yuma steadfastly said what he had to say despite her bizarre appearance.
“I don’t care if you set up to kill evil spirits. However, if you become an obstacle to me killing evil spirits or touch my people, I will kill everyone.”
Yuma stroked Ethan’s neck. Ethan’s new form slowly moved to the Astes Imperial Palace.
Crumbling!
For an instant, a thunderous force flowed through the dry sky. And then the Celestial Eye slowly closed again and disappeared as if it was slowly moving away.
