Flutter.
The blue smoke that fell from Thomas Andre created a pair of blue wings.
The appearance of the apostle of Itarim, revealed in such a perfect form, was truly bizarre.
A gray giant with blue wings, gross to be an angel and too holy to be a devil.
A ferocious twisted smile appeared on that huge face.
[It's like an apostle who was given a higher rank than a mad tyrant!]
It was Beru who quickly evaluated the level of an apostle.
One day, Beru explained.
The ruler of this world and the fragments of brilliance were created by Itarim, who was called the 'absolute one'.
If so, the monarchs and splinters of brilliance created with the same status were essentially the same as the 'Apostle of Itarim', with only a difference in their names.
However, as long as the Creator is different, there is bound to be a difference between the creations.
In fact, Sung Jinwoo, the greatest fragment of brilliance and the shadow lord, was a very different being from other monarchs and fragments of brilliance.
Likewise, the powers of Itarim's apostles were different.
And above all, there was one clear difference between the apostles of this side and that side, and that was the 'created number'.
The only beings that Itarim of this world created and gave a rank to were the eight monarchs born from the primordial light and primordial darkness and the eight fragments of brilliance.
Yes.
was only sixteen.
On the other hand, the Itarims of the Outer Universe created as few as tens to hundreds of times as many apostles and divided their powers and gave them ranks.
The apostles of Itarim, born in this way, were naturally weaker than the rulers and rulers of this world.
Even if it seems omniscient and omnipotent, its power is not infinite after all.
Just as the absolute creator of this world was removed by his creatures, all power had an end.
In short, it was this.
Itarim =
Fragment of Absolute Radiance = Lord > Apostle of the Outer
Universe In other words, the Fragment of Luminosity and Lords in this world were few in number, but each one was endowed with a great rank.
On the other hand, the apostles of Itarim in outer space were weak as they were numerous.
Especially among them, the apostles who hid behind this side were only low-ranking ones.
If stronger guys had left the battlefield, Sung Jinwoo would have noticed it first and blocked it in advance.
[…That's why.]
At Beru's words, Suho glared at the apostle of Itarim and nodded.
"okay. It's worth a try."
The odds were.
No matter how much that giant was an apostle one step higher than the mad blooded tyrant, the protection of the dead lords was with him now.
In addition, there were two S-class hunters by his side, including Thomas Andre and his mother, who had come to their senses.
But the problem wasn't the combat.
Damn it!
Rurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
"The sky is falling!"
Shirka screamed as she watched the sky cracking like a spider's web around the apostle of Itarim.
[The King of the Snow Folk and the Monarch of Frost, warns that the dimensional wall will collapse at this rate!] [
The King of Beasts and the Monarch of Fangs, explain that they too borrowed the bodies of humans to strengthen themselves on Earth because of this very problem.] Damn it
!
Whoops!
[Young Lord! The Glacier Dungeon can't stand the presence of the Itarim Apostle in its spiritual form and is about to collapse!]
Beings with great power like the Itarim Apostle needed a considerable amount of time to cross the dimension with full strength.
It was because the world itself might not be able to handle that power.
So, the chosen method is to steal the body of another being.
The reason why the rulers of the disappeared time zone borrowed their bodies from humans and strengthened themselves on Earth.
It was for this reason that the apostle of Itarim, who appeared in the demon realm, stole the body of the mad-blooded tyrant.
at that time.
"I don't know what you mean."
chuck.
Thomas Andre, who had heard Beru's words from the front, bent his legs with a grim expression.
"Anyway, you're saying we can kill that b*stard as quickly as possible?"
bang!
Without hesitation, Thomas Andre jumped off the ground and rushed towards the blue-winged giant.
Shush!
In an instant, Thomas Andre, who rose to the top of the Itarim Apostle's head, immediately raised both hands and struck hard.
bang!
The Apostle of Itarim raised his arm and easily blocked the attack.
snap!
"How dare you!"
Thomas immediately grabbed the arm in mid-air and smashed the body down with incredible force.
[…!]
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
The huge angel plummeted straight into the middle of the Echo Forest.
Thomas then landed on his head and punched him.
"You make me serve such an eerie god?!"
Quaang-!
I felt dirty.
To Thomas, who was an atheist, the feeling of sincerely worshiping an unknown god called Itarim, even for a moment, was so humiliating.
bang! bang! bang! bang!
Tremendous violence was unilaterally unleashed upon the apostle of Itarim.
but.
shit.
The apostle of Itarim, who had been lying down, suddenly showed Thomas a vicious smile, revealing his teeth.
and.
Aaaah-!
A beam of destruction like a dragon's breath shot out from its mouth towards Thomas.
"…!"
Thomas instinctively crossed his arms to block the beam, but
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
The armor of magic that had been applied to his body quickly melted away.
that desperate moment.
[Uses 'Skill: Storm Slash'.]
Kwaooooo!
A storm of blades spread from Suho, who ran at a short distance, hit the head of the apostle of Itarim directly, and the direction of the ray of destruction narrowly missed Thomas.
Quaang!
Thomas Andre bounced back, and at the same time, Cha Hae-in jumped out and attacked.
In the meantime, Suho approached Thomas and fed him a potion.
"…yeah. Is that person your mother?"
"yes."
"Your mother was an S-class hunter. But what is this potion?"
Thomas raised his eyes as his wounds healed.
In the meantime, Cha Hae-in came back to avoid the rays of destruction that were fired again and shouted at Thomas.
"Thomas! I can't do it alone! When all is well, let's pincer!"
"I will."
The apostle of Itarim, who was incarnated in the form of his body, was much stronger than when he was wearing Thomas' body.
In the aftermath, the dimension was collapsing, and I was wandering through the forest looking for a host to possess again.
Since he couldn't target Thomas or Cha Hae-in, who ate the spring water in the Echo Forest, he was looking for a new host.
In the process, all the trees that had grown densely were trampled down and at the end, they finally found a place where numerous creatures gathered.
"Oh, no! There is our village over there!"
To Sirka's bewilderment, Beru looked at Suho with a serious expression.
[Italim's disciple's bowl is not for anyone. Just like a weak vessel will break, those with weak power will lose their vitality the moment the Apostle of Itarim possesses them.]
At that, Suho remembered 'Mist Burn'.
Although the scale is different, isn't the principle of slowly burning to death unable to withstand the blue fog very similar?
"For now, go after him and recover."
As Suho said those words and glanced at Sirka, Sirka immediately raised the spear of the ice tree forward and shouted.
"Hold tight! I'm going to fly in a blizzard!"
At that, everyone's hands grabbed the spears of the ice tree.
At that moment, a great blizzard raged and sent them flying to the apostles of Itarim.
Whee ae ae ae ae-!
In the meantime, Cha Hae-in began to gather the strength to use the skill Light Sword once again.
Just then, Suho saw the daggers that had been in her hands since earlier.
Those daggers were the weapons Cha Hae-in, who fell into this dimension empty-handed, received from the Ice Elves.
'It's too bad for an S-class hunter's weapon.'
Suho immediately held out the horn of Volcan to her and said.
"Mother, I will use a bow, so with this sword…"
But after hearing Suho's words, Beru's eyes also began to see the weapon Cha Hae-in had been using so far.
Then, in great bewilderment, he opened his eyes wide.
[Kieek?! Haein! Why are you fighting with such rubbish? What about the necklace!]
"A necklace?"
When Cha Hae-in made a puzzled expression at those words, Beru put his head on his head with a sorry expression.
[Kehak! Come to think of it, the lord only received the necklace and never heard how to use it… Oops!]
"What are you talking about? How to use the necklace?"
Cha Hae-in was also embarrassed and looked down at his necklace.
This necklace was a 16th wedding anniversary gift from Sung Jinwoo. Thanks to the mysterious effect of this necklace, I have been able to understand the language of the ice elves.
'But the function didn't end there…'
Beru explained, pointing to Cha Hae-in's necklace.
[This necklace is an artifact crafted by bearded dwarves, and the lord has carved a special rune for Cha Hae-in!]
"A special rune? what is that?"
[Come on, follow me!]
Beru's eyes flashed and he opened his mouth clearly.
[Inventory.]
"…this inventory?"
It was the moment when Cha Hae-in stammered along with the words.
Flash!
"…!"
Suddenly, a translucent system window unfolded in front of her eyes.
Cha Hae-in's eyes widened as he looked at the items inside.
"This is this?!"
It was.
As one of Itarim's apostles, the Giants invaded the Earth, Sung Jin-Woo had a hunch that the same situation could happen in the future.
So, in preparation for the unexpected, he made a necklace with various functions for his beloved wife Cha Hae-in.
Even if he is not by her side, Cha Hae-in can protect himself.
The first function of the necklace made for Cha Hae-in was to be able to communicate with other races.
The second was the subspace inventory function.
[Our soldiers also collected their own gifts for Cha Hae-in and put them inside. One of them is…]
Su-wook.
Just in time, a blue sword was pulled out of Cha Hae-in's hand.
"…!"
At that moment, Suho's eyes widened wide.
Item information popped up in front of me.
[Item: Demon King's Longsword]
Difficulty to obtain: S
Type: Sword
ATK +350
This longsword contains the power of the demon king 'Baran'. Every time the sword is swung, the 'Storm of White Flame' effect is activated.
Effect 'Storm of White Flame': Creates a storm of lightning in a certain area.
[Could this sword be used by the Demon King…?!]
Even if it wasn't for the information window, Eshil recognized the identity of the sword at a glance. A scream erupted from Volkan's horn.
However, Cha Hae-in also knew what this sword was.
"…This is Beru's gift."
The current Beru was using a better sword made by bearded dwarves, given to him by Sung Jinwoo.
In other words, it was a sword that Beru had no reason to use anymore.
but.
This sword had a special meaning because it was the first weapon that Beru was bestowed by Sung Jinwoo.
To Beru, it is a valuable item that cannot be exchanged for life.
A small smile formed on her lips because she was not Cha Hae-in, who did not know what it meant to hand it to others.
Pajik! Pajik!
"Beru."
A blue electric current was reflected in Cha Hae-in's eyes as if he was possessed by the blade of the 'Devil King's Longsword', where blue lightning was swirling.
"If I meet Beru later…"
Quaang!
Just in time, the spear of the ice tree brought them to the very edge of the Apostle of Itarim.
"Would you like to thank me for the gift?"
Sararak.
From Cha Hae-in's hand on the ground, the Devil King's longsword came up in a semicircle.
That moment.
The atmosphere of the battlefield has changed.
