#Episode 1043
For a moment, everyone on the battlefield looked at the sky with mesmerized eyes.
There was not even a single exception.
Thanks to a situation that could truly be called heavenly luck, the Wind Cloud Sword Army defeated two dark demons.
For some reason, the ugly executioners had a confused look on their faces and wasted all their strength as they ran to help the staggering priest.
The disciples of the Jongnam faction and the Allied Forces of the Gansuk Murim faction continued their fight in a snowy field covered in blood.
A father who was standing like a stone in the spot where his son disappeared, and the members of Hwaryongak who were going forward with all their might in pursuit of their friend and superior who had already gone far ahead.
Even the followers of Dark Heaven who continued to fight blindly with empty eyes.
Every being that could be said to be alive looked at ‘it’.
A huge ball of fire the likes of which I have never seen or heard of before.
Googoo googung.
If an ancient giant roared, would this be the sound it made?
If the fire and brimstone of hell recorded in old scriptures exists, is it like this?
A deafening roar pours down on everyone’s heads.
As it fell like a meteor from a distant height, a terrible heat heated up the sky.
“Ahhh… … .”
Moans coming from everywhere.
Everyone froze on the spot, and that was all they could do.
An incomprehensible realm that cannot be believed even if one sees it with one’s own eyes.
No, disaster.
Therefore, no one knew its exact name.
Except for one person who desperately tried to prevent disaster, but was unable to do so in the end.
‘Hell Fire… … !’
In a world that seemed to have stopped, Jin Tae-kyung chewed and swallowed the scream that was trying to escape from between her lips.
As the name suggests, it is a hell of hell.
It is one of the most powerful wide-range magics that humans can wield, and a disaster itself that can take thousands of lives with just one activation.
‘no.’
I knew its power better than anyone else, so I tried to stop it.
It didn’t matter even if I lost my life in the process.
If you can defeat someone in return, if you can prevent a disaster by doing so, you can consider it a good ending.
But in the end, it couldn’t be stopped.
All Jin Tae-kyung could do at this moment was to blankly watch the disaster unfold, feeling a sense of helplessness constricting his entire body.
‘Even now… … I have to do something right now.’
Contrary to my earnest heart, my vision wavers.
That’s not all.
Every bone and muscle in my body complained of pain, as if I was being squeezed by a giant’s hand, and not even a handful of energy could be found in my dantian, which was already empty.
A piece of art that was shot unfinished.
It was both misfortune and luck.
Because it was unfinished, all the defenses could not be destroyed, and because of that, Jin Tae-kyung was able to survive.
But for someone who had prepared everything, this was misfortune.
‘Shit.’
Jin Tae-kyung trembled involuntarily at the terrible aftereffects that ravaged the depths of his body at every moment.
But I couldn’t give up. As it was, he didn’t want to give up everything.
Crack.
I gritted my teeth and moved my cramping limbs.
He grabbed the pole that kept slipping out of his grasp with great force, and used it as a staff to raise his stumbling body.
– damage! Avoid them all!
– Ugh, wow!
Listening to the screams of people who finally recognized the reality of the disaster that was falling, turning the dark sky red.
The extreme confusion and fear that covered the battlefield spread out at the bottom of the hill, along with a calm voice that did not fit this situation.
“Why don’t you just lie down? “If I push myself any further, it will become really difficult at that time.”
Hearing the calm voice of the great mage, blood flowed from the corner of Jin Tae-kyung’s mouth, which was clenched tightly.
“Shut up. “Bitch.”
“That’s harsh. But if you think about it, I guess I’m a lifesaver.”
Pot.
The Grand Mage suddenly approached me as if he was teleporting, or rather, Blink, which was instantaneous movement itself, and stopped less than a distance away.
To be precise, in front of the invisible magic shield that still stands between Jin Tae-kyung and himself.
“Honestly, I was really surprised a little while ago. “You said your hair was instantly refreshed?”
Sreuk.
A finger so thin and transparent that the veins were clearly visible gently traced the shield.
The powerful shield, which had been layered dozens of times not by anyone else but by the great mage herself, was barely maintaining its shape with only one layer remaining, but she did not show the slightest sign of nervousness.
Jin Tae-kyung knew that it would be difficult for Jin Tae-kyung to even stand up on his own, let alone attack.
“I’m saying this out of anger, but don’t waste your time. Don’t you know that too? “Even if you kill me now, you won’t be able to stop what has already happened.”
“Yeah, I know.”
Jin Tae-kyung answered out of breath.
However, contrary to the voice, his gaze was not directed at the Grand Mage.
Jin Tae-kyung continued as he gazed at the flames of hell crossing the blackened sky at a slow pace befitting its gigantic size.
“You bitch, you can never kill me.”

Because he knew that fact better than anyone else, Jin Tae-kyung turned around without hesitation and grabbed Baek-yeom in a reverse hand.
The reason he risked his life to fight was not simply to kill the great mage.
Because it was to protect one ally rather than one powerful enemy, and the lives of tens of thousands of people.
‘Please, just once. ‘Just one last time.’
With an earnest wish, Jin Tae-kyung squeezed out every ounce of energy remaining in his body.
Using his body, which seemed ready to break at any moment, as a bow, he fired an arrow called white flame into the string.
Grumbling.
A terrible pain that fills the eyes of the eye.
My already weakened body screams.
The acupuncture point damaged by the release of excessive power that could not be handled earlier burns even in a handful of yeolyangjigi.
Crackling.
However, Jin Tae-kyung gritted his teeth and endured the pain that a criminal could not even imagine.
I swallowed the cracked and now broken molars and the blood that had accumulated in my mouth.
Even at this moment, I aimed my spear blade at the fireball that was getting closer to the ground.
It can no longer be called strong energy; it only has a faint, soft energy like a haze.
“It’s so foolish. “The person you are.”
A sighing voice flowed from between the Grand Mage’s lips, but it was not heard by Jin Tae-kyung’s ears.
He was simply concentrating all his senses and strength and seizing the last opportunity given to him.
‘Can I do it? I.’
A question suddenly popped into my mind.
However, Jin Tae-kyung already knew the answer to this question.
No, anyone who saw this situation right now would have given the same answer.
I can’t do it.
It’s just an empty dream.
This is nothing more than the struggles and wishes of one person who wanted to do his best and not give up until the end.
but… … .
‘If I hadn’t even dreamed this absurd dream, I wouldn’t have come this far.’
For a young man, life was a long dream.
Although he was angry at the cruel reality, conformed to it, and despaired for a moment, the young man was still dreaming.
And one day, the dream became reality.
In that dream, the young man realized new, unexpected goals and desires, strong power, and even greater responsibility.
That was the only reason.
This is why we can never give up, even if we are like a moth rushing towards a burning flame or even if we are a firefly that disappears in the blazing heat of the sun.
Jerk. That’s it.
My legs, which have stopped trembling before I know it, step on the ground like a steel tower.
At the same time, the shoulders were thrown back, and the spear blade aimed into the distant sky was shot out with powerful steps in the next moment.
‘good.’
Pow!
A condensation and explosion containing all the power that one person possessed.
Compressed air exploding at the same time as if exploding.
Shuhuaaaah!
The blade of White Flame’s spear tore through the wind. Divided the space.
A ray of light shot across the ominous, dark sky toward a sphere of incomparable size and power.
And Jin Tae-kyung was looking at it with blurry eyes as it narrowed the space of about a hundred pages and became a single dot.
The spear blade has not yet reached its target.
However, there are things you can know even without looking.
Like right now.
‘Wrong.’
An empty thought resonated in Jin Tae-kyung’s mind.
It’s a failure.
The strength, speed, and air power were ridiculously insufficient to stop the hellfire prepared by the great mage.
only… … That was all.
Now that she had poured everything into it, there was nothing left for Jin Tae-kyung.
If there is anything left, it is the fatigue that weighs more heavily on the body and the even more helpless feeling.
And it was only the enemy’s ridicule that gave him all this.
“Well, don’t be too discouraged. Still, from the perspective of someone watching from the side, it was a very impressive attempt.”
With words mixed with sympathy and laughter, the Grand Mage watched as the spear blade, filled with a very weak energy, finally made contact with the magic he had unleashed.
And at the same time, I listened carefully.
At that very moment, a roar that echoed everywhere, as if the sky was splitting open.
Kwaaaaaaaa!
“… … !”
“… … !”
Jin Tae-kyung and the Great Mage opened their eyes wide without any hesitation.
Googoo googung!
Hellfire.
In the midst of that terrible hell, a huge fireball was shaking.
“What is this…?” … !”
The great mage was astonished.
The outcome was as obvious as the life-or-death decision between a child and a supreme expert.
Jin Tae-gyeong was that tired, and the power on Baekyeom’s spear blade was extremely weak.
That’s why I didn’t even stop him and just watched.
Because I knew it wouldn’t work from the beginning.
Because in her eyes, it was just a pipe dream.
However, that single spear changed the direction of a fireball hundreds of times larger.
Part of the blazing flames was broken and a crack was created.
“how… … “How on earth is this possible?”
And in this completely incomprehensible reality, I was finally able to see the Grand Mage who suddenly turned his head.
The sight of Jin Tae-kyung watching the unbelievable scene while forcibly holding on to his staggering body.
A faint smile formed on his lips and his blood-dried lips softened.
“Yes, everyone doesn’t want to give up.”
The voice that came out with difficulty was clearly lodged in her eardrums.
“Me too, them too.”
“… … !”
A short word.
However, the great mage, feeling something, turned his head like a thunderbolt, and at the same time was able to find the answer to the question he had previously had.
Squirt, wow!
Dazzling flashes of light rose from the ground and poured towards the fireball that covered everyone’s heads.
There were people there who had the same dream as that young man.
