MEMORIZE Chapter 909

00909 All That Glitters Is Not Gold, Three. ————————————————– ———————-=

‘Strange.’

Han So-young watched the devil circling in the sky.

A bundle of thunderbolts accompanied by electric light pulled out by Kim Yu-hyeon is chasing the opponent. Astaroth, who had been flying around frantically for a while, as if trying to shake it off, suddenly frowned and turned around. And he crosses his hands towards the lightning bolts that are persistently pursuing him.

Kurrrrr!

A dark red burning circular film is created in front of Astaroth. However, just before the collision, the lightning bolts that had been darting in suddenly exploded in a circle like fireworks. The lightning, divided into dozens of strands, shot out in all directions, but the moment it passed the barrier, it came together and pressed Astaroth back, forth, left and right.

Eventually, Astaroth’s flight stopped. He was surprised to see his control ability reaching the extreme, and his entire body radiated energy. Since the black flame was by no means a low-level power, most of the lightning was burned up or bounced off. But the important thing is that Astaroth, which had been flying without stopping, stopped for the first time.

“After a while. What kind of person… ?”

Astaroth, who was sighing in relief, was momentarily relieved. I wondered how they had stopped it, but it was because a large pole-like spear was attacking them with a burst of purple electric current. It was a power that could not even be compared to the lightning that split into dozens.

Falling, falling!

At the same time Astaroth crouched reflexively, a numbing noise swept through the surroundings. Han So-young, who launched her delayed attack, soon clicked her tongue with a regretful look on her face. This is because a slightly tanned Astaroth appeared in the gradually fading current. The blow doesn’t seem to have been taken without her having one hand on her abdomen, but she doesn’t seem to have been hurt too badly.

After a while, Astaroth begins to circle in the air, and Kim Yu-hyeon quickly summons lightning. Han So-young quietly organized her thoughts as she watched the sky with dark clouds gradually rolling in.

The battle that has continued so far has not been very unfavorable, but it is not particularly advantageous either. To be more precise, would it be correct to say that things are sluggish?

‘Why aren’t you actively fighting?’

If a third party was watching, they wouldn’t think like Han So-young. Kim Yu-hyeon relentlessly attacks Astaroth with the lightning of the Thunder God, and when the same opportunity as before comes, Han So-young plants the Spear of Longinus. Astaroth only occasionally launched counterattacks, but its main focus was to constantly fly and focus on defense.

However, Han So-young was confident in her thoughts. Because she feels a little bit of Astaroth’s inner thoughts through her ‘super senses’.

It’s too subtle to put into words, but one thing is certain: the opponent is not giving his or her best. However, I couldn’t even see it as being watched, and very occasionally I felt anxious. Rather than focusing on himself and Hamill Lord, he seems to be focusing his attention somewhere else. In fact, Astaroth even checked other places several times during the battle.

‘Are you sure. ‘There’s something they’re after.’

The moment Soyoung Han finished thinking, Astaroth, who had struck away the yellow lightning, glanced at her. Soyoung Han followed her instincts and figured out the direction Astaroth was looking, then quickly turned her eyes away. It was then.

The moment two figures came into Asurai’s field of vision in the distant light,

Wow!

Suddenly, a huge roar exploded.

How much time has passed?

I see a clear, or rather dark, cloudy sky. As I stare blankly at the leisurely flowing clouds, my whole body feels even stronger. The feel of the ground against my back is particularly soft and fluffy today. I almost wanted to close my eyes and fall asleep like this. If I could really do that, how refreshed would I feel when I open my eyes?

Of course, wishes are just wishes everywhere. I know very well that I shouldn’t do that. How did you survive and endure to come this far? If you give up just because you’re tired, nothing will be as funny.

I don’t know how much time has passed. I just remember exactly how many times I fell. Eleven times, no, twelve times if you count the time I just got hit in the chest and fell. As I gently stroked the area near the solar plexus, I felt the heavily dented breastplate. Even though she avoided it so much… .

If it weren’t for Lee Hyeong-hwanwi, King Chiucheon’s armor, Gehenna’s protective fortress, and Hwajeong’s advice in times of crisis, he would have died many times over.

I’m dying. really. I’m doing my best to hold on, but it seems like there’s no end in sight.

– If you have time to complain, why don’t you just get up?

‘That’s right.’

Hearing Hwajeong’s sharp voice, he stands up using his sword as support. Now that I think about it, I’m a little puzzled. It must have been a golden opportunity for Thanatos just now, so why didn’t he attack?

The answer was ahead.

“Ha, Collock! Haa, cologne!”

He is breathing hard with his left hand covering his mouth and his right hand resting on his knee. It was difficult to say that Thanatos’ condition was good even with empty words. It’s like seeing a young girl suffering from a cold, with a face suffering from difficulty breathing, as if she’s about to collapse at any moment. The biggest proof is that she is silent and does not spit out her strange words like before.

But not yet, not yet. You have to hold on a little longer. You can tell by looking at the eyes. The other person was still looking straight at me with his ugly eyes. This means that Thanatos has not given up yet.

Will I be able to endure it? Even though I felt gloomy, I calmly took my stance. Then Thanatos also spat out black liquid and straightened his bent back.

“after!”

And then he let out a strong breath,

“under!”

With a short burst of energy, he jumped in like a leopard. A stream of black smoke poured out from his powerfully outstretched fist. The moment I moved directly to Lee Hyeong-hwan, the smoke spun around and aimed at me again. This time, they are tightly woven together to form a net, and then in an instant, they spread wide and fly towards me. I think I understand a little bit what it feels like to be a fish caught in a casting net.

Buzz buzz buzz!

Although I didn’t feel like it, I ended up activating the protective fortress because the front, left, and right sides were all occupied. Is this the fourth time?

For a moment, more than half of the magic power dropped, but the effect was clear. The black net that had been tightening around me did not achieve its purpose and was slightly thrown away. After stabbing it a couple of times with my sword, I spread my wings and flew up through the gap that had become loose. Then, an eerie sound of teeth grinding was heard from behind.

“Keuuuu!”

Perhaps because he flew up with all his might, Thanatos on the ground instantly turned into a dot. However, for an opponent of that caliber, distance is virtually meaningless. Just by stamping his foot once, he rockets up and closes the distance in an instant.

“huh?”

At that time, I saw a strange sight. Thanatos’ gliding speed slowed. As the distance between him and me decreases, his speed is decreasing exponentially. It was definitely a strange phenomenon considering that he had just rushed at me without even looking back. For some reason, the face of Thanatos, who is suffering greatly, catches my eye.

Whoa!

At that moment, a thick column of water suddenly shot up from the ground at incredible speed. And it rolls around like a wave, wrapped around the feet of Thanatos who is chasing me.

“Ahh?”

Perhaps because it was an unexpected surprise attack, Thanatos’ balance was greatly disturbed. When I lowered my gaze without realizing it, I saw a huge water giant with one arm outstretched and a silver-haired woman looking up at me. At some point, Nimue, who participated, summoned the Water Spirit King.

“plaguy!”

– Kim Soohyun!

Hwajeong’s voice struck my mind. At the same time, a shiver ran through my entire body, as if I had been struck by lightning. As Thanatos, who has stopped chasing, kicks his feet nervously, blue water droplets reflecting brilliant light are scattered around the water. But immediately a new column of water rises and wraps around his kicked ankle. It was an opportunity.

By the time I thought that, I had already reflexively sent away the inflamed sword. Degraded swords with long tails like comets were fired in all directions towards Thanatos.

At that moment I could see clearly.

In a split second, the light of conflict clearly appeared on Thanatos’ face.

Grrrr!

However, in less than a second, the heated swords swept over Thanatos from his face to his toes.

“Aaaaaaaaaah!”

Thanatos falls vertically, screaming desperately. Then the ground rumbled softly.

I hurriedly went down and saw a woman lying flat like a frog. No, she was shaking and struggling, but all she could do was barely raise her upper body.

The sight of Thanatos, who had been hit directly by the deteriorated sword, was truly gruesome. It’s been like that since before, but it’s gotten worse.

The limbs were so vague that they could not be seen unless you increased your eyesight, and now even the body is repeating the phenomenon of becoming clear and then blurring. Just like a fluorescent light that has reached the end of its life flickers.

As a result, the energy naturally weakens, and the momentum that was seen when the energy was first opened is gone. Actually, I didn’t hit him properly, but he seems to be destroying himself. I could almost see my strength fading away in real time.

– It’s over. To be stupid.

As Hwajeong watches Thanatos keep slipping, she says it’s pitiful.

‘What do you mean?’

– No need to say anything. He may have regained his original strength for a moment, but this is the price he has to pay for going astray when the seal still exists.

‘Seal, what?’

– Didn’t I tell you? It is said that the seal of Thanatos can never be broken as many gods participated. It was as expected. Hehehe.

Hwajeong spoke in a triumphant voice, but I couldn’t understand what she was saying. Thanatos’ seal wasn’t broken? So does this mean that the woman in front of you right now is not Thanatos?

– Thanatos is right. And you said it’s not that it’s not resolved, it’s still hanging.

As if reading my thoughts, Hwajeong continued speaking in a scolding tone.

– Actually, I was quite surprised at first. I was really hoping it would happen, but I never thought it would come out in the real world. That means someone succeeded in breaking the external seal… . Hey, you think the gods didn’t have that situation in mind? And that while sealing the crazy god called Thanatos?

‘So, instead of an external seal, there was an internal seal?’

– Rather than an internal seal, it was a seal placed directly on Thanatos. Even if the external seal were to be broken by any chance, they would not be able to freely operate. Then let’s think about it. In order to directly limit the power of Thanatos, who is considered the god of death, the god who places the seal must be stronger, or at least have the same power, right?

‘yes.’

– That’s why I said no one would be able to solve it. Except for you and Gehenna, that is, me and Gyeophwa, no one has the power to lift the seal that limits Thanatos’ power. And even if you touch it, it might be Gehenna. Isn’t it a level that you and I can only solve if we really do our best?

‘ah.’

Only then did I understand the series of situations.

Why was Thanatos not as strong as I thought, why did he become weaker as time passed, and why did he come to the brink of extinction?

– Heh, seeing as the heavy rain has stopped, it looks like you want to live in the middle of nowhere? Kim Soohyun. Go and finish it.

Hwajeong’s tone had the nuance that if things were left like this, Thanatos would recover to its previous level. I walked without saying a word and barely stopped in front of the woman who was sitting on her knees.

Thanatos let out a boiling groan and managed to look up at me. The ferocious hatred is still evident in every corner of his face as he struggles with strength. The will to kill me somehow. It gave me goosebumps, so I hurriedly aimed my sword.

“excuse me… .”

At that time, a weak yet sorrowful voice called me.

“for a moment… .”

An evil light disappears from Thanatos’ face. Instead, a soft tone, like a warm spring breeze, takes over. The slightly wet eyes that seem to be begging for something are too pitiful to be considered the god of death.

-There’s nothing to see. Awesome!

“Save me, save me.”

Hwajeong’s strong voice and Thanatos’ sad voice overlapped.

“… “Do you want me to live?”

When I question the unexpected words, Thanatos nods his head frantically.

“Yes! You saw it too, right? “Aren’t I quite useful?”

“what?”

“Didn’t you say that earlier? The angel says after dealing with the devil. how is it? “Are you not planning on joining hands with me?”

“what.”

Thanatos snorted at the thought of this nonsense and continued speaking in an even more anxious manner.

“lets think. Hwajeong and Thanatos join hands? So who cares, angel or devil? huh?”

“Are you asking me to trust you?”

“There is a saying that the enemy of your enemy is your comrade. “Because I also have a grudge against the angel.”

“Then what about those guys?”

“devil? You can just throw it away. No, I will kill you if you want. You are much better than those guys. “If you let me live, I will do whatever you tell me.”

“… … .”

When I heard that he would do as he was told, I was slightly intrigued. She would be lying if she said she honestly wasn’t shaken. In particular, the offer of help in dealing with the angel was a temptation so fatal that one could not rashly refuse it.

– I’m just saying this just in case. You’re not planning on binding Thanatos with that ridiculous contract, are you? Wake!

However, the moment Hwajeong’s words rang out loud, I grabbed the hilt of the sword as if it were crumbling. Thanatos must have felt that sign, and his eyes were wide and he made a sad expression.

“please… .”

It was that moment.

—————————= Review of the work ——————– ——-=

Next time, I can finally add a subheading.

So far, I have deliberately not written down any subheadings.

Because there are so many readers with eagle eyes, there are cases where they predict future content based solely on subheadings… . OTL

So I decided to include a subheading at the end of each episode.

Well, actually, some keywords came up in the conversation between Ansol and Mar yesterday… .

Still, I’d like to believe that you don’t know yet.(?)
