Episode 352
Utopia.
A scene that is literally like a different world unfolds before your eyes.
But those who actually set foot in this new world had no choice but to harden their faces.
“Hmm, the connection to the outside world is completely cut off.”
“Then I guess I can only hope that the commanders will do well.”
“Haha, whatever. I’m sure you’ll figure it out~”
“… … Let’s finish this quickly and leave.”
Complete isolation from the outside world.
Because of the isolation unique to the area, communication with the soul soldiers outside has been cut off.
So they looked at the being that had trapped them here in order to quickly escape from this place.
-Tagiel… …Tagiel… …Tagiel… … .
A being in the form of a horrific monster that does not fit in with the beautiful utopia.
Beniel, who has now taken on a hideous form that is hard to call a celestial, mutters in a gloomy voice the name of Tagiel, whom he has eaten.
When Beniel’s low, resonating voice echoes through the beautiful white buildings of Utopia.
Woohoo!
As if in response to his voice, the buildings of Utopia began to vibrate.
The vibrations that began to spread throughout the entire Utopian city, like sound waves striking a horseshoe magnet, soon transformed into a huge shock wave of divine power.
Kwaaaaaaaah!
The massive divine power that filled the entire city added power to the sound waves, and the legion commanders immediately prepared their defenses as they saw them surge towards them like a tsunami.
“Soul Ground.”
It started in the Balkans.
A city filled with divine power.
They create their own small piece of land in a place where even the earth is imbued with divine power and where simply stepping on it causes the soul to burn with pain.
Cheeeeeeek-
Of course, the enormous divine power that filled the entire city immediately began purifying it as if it would not forgive the foreign substance, but that was enough.
At least it meant that you could establish your own space for a few minutes.
“This month, this spirit month, cover them all, you phantoms.”
Kurrururur!
Tune quickly builds a defensive barrier on top of the solid foundation laid by the Balkans.
As a warlock, Tune builds a massive wall made of bones.
As a Spirit Master, Tune covers the huge castle wall with his spiritual power.
-Keeeeeek!
In addition, the dead and ghosts who were unable to leave for the afterlife due to their obsession with death added strength to the walls of bones and spirits according to Tune’s command.
They had no ego as they clung to each other with their ears bent, but that was why they could scream fearlessly in the face of the waves of divine power that were coming at them.
While the land of spirit power and the wall of spirit power stood firm in front of them, Basil and Ashur Hum also moved.
“Snake and soul are one.”
Chorrrrrr!
Dozens, hundreds of soul-shaped snakes climb Basil’s body.
Pet snakes just for Basil, unlike the four-legged snakes outside of Utopia.
Among them was Basil’s favorite pet snake, Camille.
Camille’s huge mouth opens wide and swallows Basil, and soon Basil and Camille become one.
Basil’s body, which is not skinny but not thin enough to be considered thin, is instantly transformed into that of a strong warrior, and hard, sharp snake-like scales grow on top of it.
And then, the moment came when even Basil’s eyes changed into those of a snake.
-… … Shaaaaah!
With a roar coming out of Basil’s gaping mouth, the spirit of a giant snake in a psychic state dashed wildly toward the waves of divine power.
Kkwadduk!
When a relationship that is torn apart and broken by the rough waves of divine power repeats itself.
The last remaining legion commander took a step forward.
“The protection of the Holy Spirit.”
Ashur Hum.
Although he has a strange structure of being a soul soldier and a paladin, he combined Jinhyeok’s spiritual power with his own divine power to open up a new power called ‘spirituality’, and he was like a strong shield and a sharp sword.
The protection of the Holy Spirit.
As the purple-tinged divine power bursts out violently, it strengthens Ashur Hum’s body.
It is no exaggeration to say that Ashur Hum’s physical body has twice the power in the same size, as it is a spirituality with a potential that cannot even be compared to that of being strengthened by divine power.
Ashur Hum, having completed all his preparations, drew his great sword.
Kugugugugu-
As the giant sword begins to be imbued with spiritual energy, a purple-tinged divine power begins to boil like an active volcano.
If it had been the Ashur Hum of the past, he would have swung his energy as it was and tried to cut through the waves of divine power.
Because, whether it was efficient or not, in the end, that was the only thing Ashur Hum could do.
But the Ashur Hum of today was different.
“Hoooo… … .”
His eternal lord.
Ashur Hum’s eyes turn a pale purple as he feels the living, breathing body gifted to him by Jinhyeok throbbing and breathing deeply.
yet-
“Cutting the waves.”
Ashur Hum, the holy knight who had always relied solely on his own body, regenerative powers, and healing powers, used something called a ‘skill’ for the first time in a long time.
Parting the waves.

One of the few close friends to his lord and a strong swordsman.
The crystallization of Ashur Hum, who watched Hendrick’s techniques from afar and tried to reach them even a little by repeating them countless times, is right now-
Quagmire! Quagmire!
It unfolded.
-What the hell! Come back!
Basil, enraged by the sight of the wave of divine power extending from the air and the soul of the snake struggling to break apart, immediately retrieved the soul of the snake.
With a hissing voice like that of a snake, the snake spirit dispersed and disappeared in an instant, and as the snake spirit blocking it disappeared, the wave of divine power moved forward without any obstacles.
The wave of divine power that contained the will to purify all the evil things in the world before him crashed down upon the legion commanders.
Squeak!
It was cut.
Although waves are not meant to be cut down just by being slashed, the spot cut by Ashur Hum’s greatsword never came back.
The wave of divine power split in half and struck the defensive barrier constructed by Balkan and Tune as it split into two.
Kwaaaaang!
A wall made of bones and spiritual power.
A wave of divine power crashed hard against the mighty wall, into which even the souls joined.
A wild binge.
However, the wall barely managed to hold its ground thanks to the wave’s power being reduced by more than half as it split into two.
“hmm.”
“It’s not good. All I can do is hold out.”
Of course, they were not satisfied with that.
Balkan and Tune swallowed their sighs as they watched the walls slowly being pushed back or crumbling little by little, and just as they said, the walls were barely holding on.
If things continue like this, if Beniel lets out another roar or launches another attack, it’s natural that the wall will collapse.
“Damn it, Ashur! Are you trying to cut down our little cutie too?”
“Isn’t it okay since I avoided it?”
“This kid!”
In that situation, Balkan and Tune shook their heads and called out to them at the sight of Basil spewing harsh insults at Ashur Hum, who had returned, and Ashur Hum shrugging his shoulders calmly at Basil.
“Both of you, do your best and come here.”
“Yeah, now is not the time for us to fight amongst ourselves, we need to deal with that guy first.”
“… … Tsk.”
“… … Tsk.”
Basil and Ashur Hum moved towards them, not liking the words of Tune, who was a slightly higher-ranking commander than the General Commander Balkan, but with an air of helplessness.
“Okay, then I’ll explain the plan to destroy this place and get outside.”
Kurururung-
As Balkan smiled faintly, shaking off his dusty outer garment, the sound of the walls and the waves of divine power crashing against each other resonated faintly as if it were background music. * * *
-Ugh, Tagiel… … No, Beniel? I… … Who am I?
The reason Beniel didn’t attack after the first roar was simple.
The price paid for coveting power that was not granted to oneself.
It was only natural that he didn’t even know who he was because of his mental breakdown.
After wandering around for a while, Beniel finally looked at the legion commanders beyond the walls, who were wrestling with the waves of divine power in the distance.
-… … First, we have to kill those things.
One thing that remains in Beniel’s mind is that he used cannibalism, which was a feat that could only be digested by gods, and as a result, his soul, body, and ego were destroyed.
That meant they had to be killed.
-… … .
Before moving towards them.
Beniel, who had taken in the view of the utopian landscape that contained the image of his hometown, soon led his body that had turned into a monster and shot like a cannonball at the legion commanders.
Beniel, who had seen the sight of his hometown that he would never see again, had no more hesitation. * * *
“They’re coming.”
After finishing explaining how to escape the realm of ‘Utopia’ that had trapped them beyond dealing with Beniel, Balkan muttered as he looked at Beniel, who was gradually approaching.
“Are you ready?”
“… … I’m ready, but is it really possible?”
Balkan let out a hollow laugh at Tune’s worried question.
“It might be possible.”
“Yes, that would be possible.”
A plan that can be attempted, but the success is uncertain.
But Balkan was calm.
“But how could it even be possible?”
“… … So that means Jinhyeok has always done this kind of thing.”
If it were Jinhyuk, he would have done anything if it were possible.
And if Jinhyeok did it, what could they not do? – that was Balkan’s thought.
“He would have done something impossible. This is just a minor thing.”
“Haha… … If it goes on like this, I won’t be able to take it out.”
Moreover, Tune could not help but nod his head in disappointment at such Balkan thoughts.
“Whoa, this is seriously suicidal… … .”
“It’s something the lord has always done. There’s nothing we, his subordinates, can’t do.”
Following Balkan and Tune, even Basil and Ashur Hum each finished their preparations and looked at the approaching Beniel.
Soon, Balkan, who was standing at the very front, was the first to speak.
“Region, filled with demon spirits and saints.”
Kwarrrrrr-
Like a torrent of water bursting out of a swollen valley on a rainy day, the magical energy, spiritual power, and divine power that poured out from Balkan’s body gathered together and began to greedily invade the realm of Utopia.
Of course, there were limits to that, so this time Tune stepped forward as if taking over the baton and took over Balkan’s words.
“The realm, the empty soul.”
Puhwaaaaak!
A near-infinite number of souls burst forth, turning Utopia dark.
The souls, tinged with deep blue, invade Utopia roughly according to the will of their master.
Next in line was Basil.
“Kihihi… … territory, snake-filled cave.”
Kurururur!
A giant cave appears.
A huge cave where snakes live together.
Countless snakes, big and small, burst out from it and wriggle, filling the floor.
With a creepy sight, the snakes quickly spread across the world.
Finally, the last being took a heavy step forward.
thud!
Ashur Hum’s mouth twitches as he takes his last step forward.
“… … Proclamation of the territory, the sanctuary.”
Paaaaat!
A burst of light appears, painting the world a pale purple.
Divine power that contains spiritual power.
The unique power that Ashur Hum possesses explodes into the world and expands its territory.
Eventually, the four areas that emerged from within one area began to move toward becoming one rather than opposing each other.
Kurrururur-
Four areas that are increasingly coming together.
It was impossible.
Even in the case of Choi Kyung-hoon and Ryu Deu, it was possible because they had a special situation and their compatibility was so good that they could be considered the same person.
But now they were not two, but four, and they were uniting the realms.
It was an extremely dangerous act, as they might get mixed up and not be able to return to their original form.
[Region, the souls of dead snakes and saints are filled with the palace.]
The name of a new realm that burst out simultaneously through their minds rather than their mouths swallowed up the realm ‘Utopia’.
The four that branched off from the root called Jinhyeok were four yet one, and it was possible because they were one yet four.
Since their origins are in Jinhyeok, they are confident that if they become one, they can return to being four again, so they become one and dye Utopia into their new realm-
-die……!
The moment when Beniel, who had come closer without anyone noticing, opened his mouth wide and declared their death.
Kwaaaa …
The tightly closed door of utopia burst open and everything inside began to spill out.
