Chapter 55. Battle (5)
10.
Quagga gaga! Quang!
A battlefield where clouds of dust rise.
Ulan continued to fight fiercely, swinging his ax against Asteban.
How long has it been like that?
Ian, Sven, and Perticia, who had left the group earlier, were seen returning.
‘Did you find out something?’
I’m not sure yet.
It’s not even the distance where you can hear your voice.
So, I decided to shake off the distracting thoughts and focus on my original mission. I thought that someday, when the time comes, I would tell you.
After a while, the time I had been waiting for came.
-Ulan.
A voice suddenly rings in my head.
It’s Noah’s voice.
Judging by the fact that the communication device hung around his neck was glowing bright blue, it was assumed that he was communicating through an amulet.
―I’m sorry, but please be a little more violent. Until preparations are completed here.
Ulan’s eyes lit up at those words.
Judging by the mention of the word preparation, it seems like they found a way. After a brief pause, Noah continued speaking.
―And when the time comes, please prioritize Laurea’s safety above everyone else. Please.
Ulan did not answer.
As if of course I would.
Noah, too, seemed to have guessed Ulan’s silence and did not speak to him any more.
‘then… … .’
Now is the time to carry out Noah’s instructions.
The fight gets hotter and more intense until the preparations on the other side are completed.
‘The remaining transcendental areas are twice.’
Ulan used one of them.
Suddenly! Quad Deuk!
Astevan laughed at the sight of three clans being defeated with just one transcendental realm.
【I told you it was pointless!】
Astevan took advantage of the small gap created when Ulan took over the transcendental realm, and revived the immortal family once again.
Although the endless battle seemed futile, Ulan silently swung his axe.
【Such an ignorant guy!】
Asteban also wrinkled his face as if he realized that he couldn’t communicate.
And so the battle began again.
Ulan raised his last spirit and pushed the guy. Asteban also put all his effort into defeating Ulan.
Then.
An unusual event occurred.
“That… … .”
The clear blue sky suddenly turned dark.
Just as the sun sets and night comes.
Soon the stars in the night sky began to twinkle one by one. It wasn’t just Ulan who was watching this change.
【Huh, why are the stars-.】
Blue eyes shaking as if in agitation.
At that moment, Asteban saw a girl kneeling and praying.
Saint, Laurea.
The moment he saw her holding both hands and being engulfed in the divinity of the star, Asteban understood the situation.
【You guy! Agent of the stars!】
Asteban belatedly realized what they were preparing and immediately started running.
After throwing all the family members and the dead to Ulan, who blocked the way, he tried to take Laurea’s life by taking advantage of the moment.
However, the raid failed.
“Hold on! “We must stop it at all costs!”
A barrier created by Noah’s amulet.
A curtain of stars wrapped around Delia.
Cadel and Ian’s sacred shield. Furthermore, the protective wall created by the spirits of Perticia.
While Laurea activated Star Divinity, the party was already fully prepared.
【What a bug! go away!】
However, it was not enough to hold on to Asteban for long. In the blink of an eye, he broke through all the defenses and reached Laurea.
Just when I was trying to block the activation of Goddess.
Ga-ga-ga-ga-gak! Quaaaang!
There was someone who blocked Astevan.
A red-eyed barbarian who appeared after killing all the dependents and the dead he left behind.
“… … “Your opponent is me.”
It was Ulan.
A body covered in blood.
He used the last remaining transcendental realm to break through the family and the dead, and although it would not have been surprising if he collapsed immediately, he held on proudly.
Meanwhile, Asteban, who sensed that time was running out, put all the strength he had saved up until now to put pressure on Ulan.

【Do not disturb the luggage! Mortal!】
Ulan, who faced the bastard, had a hunch.
In order to protect Laurea against him, I have to risk my life. So he made his decision without a moment of hesitation.
‘Then I’ll bet!’
As I did in the last moments of my past life, I am willing to burn my life. So I pulled out the remaining limits and activated the area again.
‘Transcendence Realm.’
Activating areas that exceeded the limit of use put enormous strain on the body. The blood pouring out of the eyes, nose, mouth and ears was evidence.
But it didn’t stop.
‘yet again!’
His eyes were bloodshot as if they were about to burst, and pain assailed him as his entire body’s muscles and internal organs were twisted.
But I couldn’t stop.
Because only the Transcendent Realm can catch up with Astevan. Even if you can’t reach it, just holding on to its feet is enough.
【You guy! to the end-!】
Ignoring the cries of rage, Ulan expanded his territory one step at a time. Instead of a completely exhausted spirit, igniting her life force.
Life and origin.
Ulan and Asteban fought fiercely, burning all their strength to prove each other’s existence.
In a world that was completely pitch black, only the two of them shined the brightest.
And finally.
The time of reckoning has arrived.
────!
A silent explosion of light.
The night sky was bright and all the starlight filled the world. Next, the sound Ulan had been waiting for came to his ears.
Quack! Ugh!
The sound of the sky splitting in two.
It was the sound of Astevan’s roots breaking.
11.
A world where cracks occur.
Facing the slowly collapsing landscape, Asteban cried out as if he was vomiting blood.
【no! This can’t be happening!】
The family members and dead people who had reliably surrounded him disappeared like dust.
An immortal monarch who is completely alone.
He denied it with eyes full of disbelief, as if he still couldn’t believe the current situation.
【Death was not allowed to me! There is no way my eternal abyss would be shattered just here, in a place like this!】
However, contrary to denying reality, Asteban’s alter ego was shattered from his toes.
It’s not just about self-immolation.
The space where everyone currently exists has collapsed at a rapid rate.
【iced coffee! Ahhh-!】
A source destroyed by Godhead.
Magical power dispersing as if broken.
All the changes taking place around him pointed to Asteban’s disappearance.
Therefore, I had no choice but to admit it, and the screams that Asteban had let out so far turned into desperate regret and regret.
Then.
The culprits who created the current situation were clearly reflected in the gradually fading blue light.
The first thing I saw was a girl praying.
【Agent of the Star】
Vicar of the Abominable Holy Ghost.
The one who destroyed the origin and led immortal beings to mortality. If she hadn’t come here, Astevan would never have been defeated.
【Rudrick’s family.】
A white wolf hiding in the fog.
The plan went wrong because of that guy.
If it weren’t for that guy, the warrior’s party wouldn’t have reached where the throne was, and of course the space where the source was located wouldn’t have been discovered.
【-gentile.】
An otherworldly being drawn by the stars.
Even if there were no strangers who gave up a hundred steps, victory would have been Astevan’s.
Because Noah knew his unique spells suspiciously well, Asteban was unable to kill a single warrior.
If it weren’t for her, the warriors would not have been able to overcome Asteban’s curse and necromancy in the Demon Palace and would have died from the fog of corruption.
【and-.】
There is something else that disturbs me the most.
The heir of a long, bad relationship.
A variable that Lacus had not mentioned that not only destroyed Astevan’s proud twelve clans, but also destroyed all of his plans.
【Kazan Ludrik!】
With bright eyes, a strong roar burst out like an explosion. Asteban stared at Ulan and shouted as if screaming.
【I curse you! I curse you, who decided to inherit Ludric’s will, with every single drop of blood flowing through your body!】
All the power remaining in the shattered source was condensed into the form of a curse.
The Star Agent was praying, and Ulan had reached his limit, so there would be no one who could stop the curse.
【Those who inherit your power and blood will never meet a proper death!】
Eventually, Astevan’s curse was completed and went straight to Ulan. But at that moment, there were girls who defied expectations and stopped the curse.
“no! No!”
“I can’t leave it like that.”
A girl with pure white hair and brilliant silver hair. She was Perticia and Delia.
The two raised the spirit’s power and all magical power to block the curse. And by a narrow margin, he succeeded in removing Asteban’s curse.
A curse scattered in vain in the air.
The blue eyes trembled as if they were agitated.
It wasn’t just because the curse had dissipated. This is because it was only when death approached that something that had been invisible until now became visible.
【Right. Is it you guys again?】
Perticia and Delia.
The moment I saw the determined faces of the two girls who set out to protect Ulan, old memories that I thought I had forgotten came back.
【―Ainer, Artina.】
A memory he cherished long ago, when he was a mortal king. Astevan quietly recited the names in it.
Then he smiled emptyly.
Like someone who stretched out his hand to grab something, but ended up catching nothing.
【Just like a thousand years ago, this time too, you chose the guy, not the burden… … .】
Before I knew it, the collapse had reached my chin.
After a while, Asteban’s self-immolation turned into ashes and scattered. The last words he tried to leave were buried in the wind and disappeared forlornly.
Saaaaa!
Afterwards, the fragments of the shattered source turned into rainwater and seeped into the bodies of the party. Among them, Ulan absorbed the largest amount of fragments.
Some time after that.
The scenery surrounding the group changed.
“Uh, huh?”
“This place… … .”
The place where I first met Astevan.
The place where there was a black swamp and a throne made of human bones was the center of the Magung. It was around this time that the group returned to their original location and looked dazed.
Something familiar appeared before Noah’s eyes.
[Achievement achieved.]
System notification message.
What followed was an achievement of content she had never seen before, filling her vision.
【Achievement】: The one who brought immortality to death
【Conditions】: Subdue the immortal lord ‘Asteban’
【Reward】: Elixir
Notification that Asteban has been killed.
Noah muttered softly.
“… … ah.”
You did it.
I really got rid of Astevan.
Even though it was a victory he achieved on his own, Noah still had a blank expression on his face as if he couldn’t believe it.
‘The origin of Astevan.’
The identity of the source she so desperately wanted to find was the desert space itself.
However, even if the source was discovered, it could not be destroyed immediately. Because the star’s divinity overwhelms the source, the source had to be reduced.
‘So I asked Ulan for a favor.’
Please run a little more.
Please push Asteban so that he can draw more of the power of the source.
Ulan did his job well.
And as a result, the source of Asteban was sufficiently reduced, and Noah took advantage of this to induce Laurea to use the Star Godhead.
‘Thanks to that… … .’
I achieved a victory that I had never been able to achieve when I was a player. He achieved the contradiction of driving an immortal being to death.
Joy flowing through the whole body.
Noah shook his shoulders.
‘Now there are only two left.’
The howling eyes of the abyss, Lacus.
The Giant King Largtan.
If you subdue just two monarchs, you will be subduing all six monarchs of the abyss that existed in the original work.
When I clenched my fists with determination.
Suddenly an urgent cry was heard.
“Noah! Ooh, Ulan… … !”
Three girls with embarrassed expressions.
In front of them was Ulan, who had exhausted all his stamina and fainted while standing. And Laurea also lost her mind and collapsed.
This was at least a good thing.
There was a really big problem.
“It looks like the palace is about to collapse!”
“We have to escape quickly!”
Due to the disappearance of Asteban, the magic palace also lost its power and began to collapse.
If things continue like this, we will be buried in a situation where no one can move.
But there was no need to worry.
[Grunt!]
A white tiger suddenly appeared and waved its tail as if to ask the group to follow.
Acting like you know the way out.
Accordingly, the party immediately moved after the white wolf while supporting Ulan and Laurea. To escape from the rapidly collapsing palace.
12.
The capital of the Leuven Empire.
Even though it was well past midnight, the lights illuminating DeMuel’s office did not go out. The reason was the numerous documents piled up on the desk.
Crunchy!
At a time when only the sound of a quill pen tracing over documents filled the room. The eyes of the clay doll sitting by the window suddenly sparkled.
“It’s finally gone.”
“yes?”
“The immortal king has met death.”
“… … !?”
Demuel’s eyes widened.
Because I understood what Lacus, the Lord of the Abyss who borrowed the body of a clay doll, meant.
“Now that the Abyss of Immortality has disappeared, all that remains is the burden and the Abyss of Giants.”
There are only two Abyss Lords left.
Even though four monarchs were defeated by the warriors, there was no trace of nervousness or fear in Lacus’ voice.
Rather, it was full of joy.
“I can only thank Asteban. Thanks to you, I was able to bring this opportunity to the person at the lowest level of the throne of the abyss.”
Lacus closed his mouth for a moment and looked at the southern sky beyond the window.
A dry land and a den of pagans, the first place the giant king headed after escaping from the abyss.
It was in the direction of the southern desert.
“Now, if only the Giant’s Abyss disappears, the only thing ■■ can choose is Jim, and then Jim will become the only Abyss.”
I’m looking forward to that day coming.
Lacus’ eyes narrowed. Afterwards, a low sound of laughter filled the room.
