Episode 198 The Great Crack -4-
He swung his sword for a long time.
The rotten blood that had been buried in the ground is gradually dripping down.
This won’t work.
He even created black flames and purified the Mukho Sword.
Kuung!
Meanwhile, the staggering giant finally sinks.
“teacher!”
“Are you hurt?”
The three of them came running.
I waved my hand leisurely.
“I’m okay.”
It was tough.
We have overcome crises one after another and have been in several dangerous situations.
But in the end, victory was mine.
The Star Children are dead, the Corpse Dragon has fallen, and the Tentacle Woman is stiff as a statue.
“grandma?”
Kali cautiously approaches the tentacle woman.
A tentacle woman standing there, absentmindedly.
Baek So-rin and Janet drew their swords and stared at the tentacle woman.
If something looks suspicious, he’ll cut it down right away.
There’s no rush.
After slaughtering the corpse dragon and loading it onto the sky ship, we waited slowly.
Little by little, light returns to the tentacle woman’s eyes.
The first thing my eyes were drawn to was Kali’s face.
“Ugh… … Ugh… … .”
Can’t speak.
It’s been so long since I mutated that even my vocal cords are damaged.
After I finished training the Star Descendants and the Corpse Dragon, I approached the Tentacle Woman.
“Are you awake, Kali?”
“Oh, it’s me, Carly, sir.”
“Your grandmother’s name is also Kali.”
All of Kali’s bloodline women share the same name.
The name of the goddess.
“If you come to your senses, blink your eyes. Just twice.”
Blink, blink.
The tentacle woman blinked.
“great.”
I took hold of the tentacle woman’s two hands.
And it creates heavenly flowers.
With the other hand, use Purification repeatedly.
The two traits combined to envelop the tentacle woman.
Then, the body that had been strangely mutated quickly returns to its original form.
Baek So-rin jumped.
“It’s being treated!”
“As expected, it’s the Heavenly Horse Body!”
“Grandma… … Are you really my grandmother?”
Unfortunately, it is not a complete cure.
That’s impossible.
If it was in the early stages of the mutation, I don’t know, but what can we do after decades have passed?
What I did was just a stopgap measure.
Mulberry!
He took out a bottle of the highest quality holy water and gave it to me.
Then a woman who looks just like Kali appears.
When Carly was about ten years older, she looked exactly like she would in her mid-twenties.
The woman looked at her hands in disbelief.
A long, white human hand, neither a mass of tentacles nor connected to a sword.
“Carly?”
“Wow… … It’s exactly the same.”
Baek So-rin and Janet burst into admiration.
Then the woman came to her senses and greeted me politely.
“Thank you, Eun-gong. Thanks to you, I can die as a human.”
“I did this to help Carly. You don’t have to thank me.”
“Kali… … .”
There’s nothing I can do.
He quietly gave up his seat.
The woman stares at Kali.
Kali’s eyes were shaking as if there was an earthquake.

No need for genetic testing or appearance comparison.
The blood trait of the goddess within them.
Because that characteristic will resonate.
Because they will be pulling each other in and making strong claims.
The fact that this person is my family and blood relative.
“You’ve grown up so beautifully. You’ve really grown up so beautifully.”
“Do you know me?”
“Of course. You’re the last remaining blood relative in the world, so how could you not know? Even when I was tortured by that tribe, and even when I was subjected to all sorts of mental attacks, I held on while thinking only of you.”
“Me?”
“Yes. You and I are the only descendants of the goddess in this world, and if I don’t give you the Kalaratri, you’ll die.”
“ah…….”
“How is Amit? Amit is still young, and I was worried about leaving him alone in India.”
“Dad? How are you?”
“okay?”
Hey, how would I know if you just said that?
I interjected a little.
“Mr. Kumar is currently the Indian Ambassador to Korea. He is also an honorary knight of the Shiva Order. The legacy he left behind in India has been of great help.”
The woman smiled brightly.
“The Indian ambassador? That guy who hated studying?”
“As far as I know, you have mastered nine languages. You are a master of foreign languages.”
“Hahaha. It’s surprising that a guy who once claimed to be a superman and only chased after supermen became a diplomat. Did he get married abroad? Since you said you were the Indian ambassador to Korea, in Korea?”
“you’re right.”
“It’s a shame. I wish I could have attended the wedding… … .”
“Let’s go to Seoul! I’ll tell my dad to have another wedding!”
“Thank you for your words. But Carly, my sweet little dog. This old lady doesn’t have much time left.”
The woman looked regretful.
His gaze is directed towards his hand.
Slowly crumbling from the end.
At the tips of my two fingers, like the wick of a candle, there was only ashes left.
“Ha, Grandma!”
Carly is surprised to see that.
Then he started rummaging through his bag in a panic.
What was taken out from there was a golden crystal bottle.
It was an elixir.
“It’s okay! Just drink this!”
The woman looks at Kali with a big smile.
“Wow! You’re only level 5, and you even brought me an elixir.”
Probably received as a reward while hunting in the Great Labyrinth.
It’s definitely great.
SSR characters.
Even though it was a great labyrinth with a lot of nectar and elixir, it would have been impossible to gather all the elixir in a short period of time, not even a few weeks.
“But it’s impossible. The elixir can revive someone who is about to die, but it can’t revive someone who is already dead. Carly, this old lady was already dead. Before you were even born.”
“Lies… … Dad is still waiting for Grandma!”
“I’m sorry. Kali, can you deliver this for Grandma? Tell Amit that you’re sorry and that you love him, then and now.”
The woman opened her hand and took out a small toy.
A plastic robot toy suitable for a boy to play with.
I looked away to hide my complicated feelings.
‘It was the Indian ambassador who mutated Grandma Kali.’
Appears at the end of Kali’s personal quest.
When she was alive, Grandma Kali took Father Kali to visit the Great Rift.
Carly’s father, who was very interested in superhumans, flew in for several days.
The problem was that the Great Crack was overflowing at that time.
Grandma Carly left Carly’s father in the orphanage and joined the defense front.
The problem is that you can’t control your curiosity and wander around instead of just staying still.
As luck would have it, the Star Child was there, and Grandma Kali fought the Star Child one-on-one to save her son.
A situation where I couldn’t sleep and my magic power was being depleted due to the flood.
Grandmother Kali was defeated by the Starchildren, mutated, and dragged across the Great Rift.
Was it because of that guilt?
Kali’s father abandoned her dream of becoming a superhuman and forced his decision on Kali.
‘I guess I was stupid.’
I know it’s a psychological defense mechanism, but I don’t feel sympathy for Carly’s father.
I feel bad for Grandma Kali and Kaliman.
“grandma…….”
“Take it. Hurry up.”
“But try the elixir. You never know.”
“No. I know my body better than anyone else. It is because the goddess is watching over me that I am still alive. Hurry up and take it.”
“grandma…….”
Carly accepted the toy with tears streaming down her face.
The woman turned her head to me.
“Eun-gong. Could you come closer for a moment?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“When I die, purify me with heavenly flowers. Then, a magical core and some ashes will remain. Please take the magical core and scatter the ashes on the floating island of chaos. If possible, I would like to be buried in my hometown… … but I have mutated too much, so that won’t work. If my body is buried in my hometown, it will become another world.”
A typical end for the Guardians.
The same goes for both the Great Labyrinth and the Great Rift.
Most Guardians are corrupted and mutated and cannot be completely buried.
I nodded my head heavily.
“I will do that. And the magic core? Shouldn’t you give it to Kali?”
“Because Kalaratree is not contained in the magic core. If I give Kalaratree to Kali and purify the remaining magic circuits, only one ability will remain in my magic core.”
The woman put her left hand to her heart.
Then he speaks to me with a knowing look in his eyes.
“It’s a superpower.”
“ah.”
At the time of the Seoul terrorist attack, I thought I had to create an island power characteristic.
That last piece is superpowers.
“I feel embarrassed because this is all I can give you. In the past, I would have piled up mountains of nectar, diamonds, and magical weapons to give you, but now I have nothing.”
“No, it helped me a lot.”
“Thank goodness. Carly? Come closer.”
“no, I do not want!”
Carly threw herself with all her might.
The woman’s fingers were completely gone.
All that remains is a blunt palm like an egg.
Carly sees that and takes a step back.
“No! It can’t end like this! Like this!”
Could it be because the goddess’s blood resonates?
Even though we had only known each other for ten minutes, Carly was already acting like a little child.
The woman smiled nonchalantly.
“It’s okay, Kali. We’ll meet again. When our blood relatives die, they become Kali’s servants. We can talk about what we haven’t talked about then.”
“Still!”
“But you shouldn’t come too soon. Okay? If you’re going to do it, it would be good to reach level 9 and ascend to the heavens as an angel. This old lady’s lifelong wish was to become the goddess’s angel. I had to train alone, but you’ve found a good teacher, so I think it’s possible. What do you think? Can you promise?”
“I promise, I promise. So don’t go!”
“Okay. You’re being a bit of a slacker. But there’s nothing I can do. I really don’t have time now.”
The woman came like a ghost and grabbed Kali’s hand.
Carly is startled.
I tried to pull my hand away, but I couldn’t.
A hand without a single finger was firmly holding Kali’s hand, handing over the sword they had been joined to.
“Oh, no!”
“Accept it. If you refuse, both of you will be in danger.”
“Ha, but!”
“Are you planning to destroy this old lady’s soul too?”
“Still!”
“If it’s too late, this old lady will be lost forever in this strange world. Is that okay?”
“that…….”
“Okay, take it.”
Carly squeezed her eyes shut.
Tears flowing down.
My throat was so sore that I could barely get a few words out.
“Okay… I’ll accept it.”
“That’s my cute puppy.”
The sword dances.
A slightly curved curve, eerily sharp and thin.
It was swaying and wobbling, casting shadows in a messy manner.
Then, little by little, it melts and turns into mercury and seeps into Kali.
Through holding hands.
Crossing the blood ties.
To the magic circuit, to the heart, to the spinal cord.
That’s also an SSR grade sword.
The name is also the same [Kalaratri].
Normally, you could hide it and then take it out.
With your hands, your feet, even your mouth or your eyes.
There’s a reason Kali is classified as an assassin.
Phew!
Light radiates from Kali.
Full-body tattoos are on the rise.
A tattoo that looks like a magic circle or a geometric pattern.
The tattoo started out brightly colored and then suddenly turned red.
In full blood.
The color that symbolizes Kali, the goddess of destruction.
The woman who was watching let out a short sigh.
“Finally, finally, I can rest.”
“Thank you for your hard work.”
“It’s hard. The Almighty is really suffering.”
Almighty…….
The woman seems to know about me too.
“If you go straight towards 3:26 from the direction where you are standing now, you will find the floating island of chaos. As I said before, please sprinkle my ashes there and until Kali learns Kalaratri, um… … it would be good for you to stay there until you learn Kalaratri as well.”
“Thank you for your words. I was planning to come see you anyway.”
“That’s interesting. Did you know about the floating island of chaos?”
“At least there is such a place.”
This is a common terrain in the Great Rift.
The gap between dimensions.
A space floating between worlds.
It’s also an uncommon safe zone.
Because there are no monsters.
If you train, your experience level will also increase.
However, you should not stay for a long time.
“Don’t stay too long. This is where the magic of the Great Rift gathers. I was able to maintain my mind thanks to the goddess’s protection, but my body has become like this. If young Kali and Eun-gong stay too long, they will become otherworldly and go insane.”
“I will keep that in mind.”
“Still, Your Majesty, you should go and see it.”
“You know a lot about me?”
“I heard it from the Goddess. I heard the Goddess’ voice unintentionally. It wasn’t clear though.”
The floating island of chaos.
As the strange magic of the Great Rift is revealed, the properties there are strangely distorted.
Light is chaos.
The earth is in chaos.
Fire is… …the final piece of chaos, the supremacy.
As the conversation progressed, the collapse accelerated.
A woman whose arms had disappeared without a trace.
Even the legs were scattered.
When he could no longer stand, I held him by the waist and supported him.
The woman looked at me and smiled faintly.
“The last journey is not lonely. There is a handsome young man who hugs me.”
“Just hold on a little longer. Carly will wake up soon.”
“That’s hard… … Mom?”
The woman looks surprised.
Damage absorption trait.
Because I wrote what I wrote to Carly.
Instead, my body also begins to decompose, but that’s okay.
Because it has been weakened by the diamond body, immortality, and indomitability.
Of course, this does not mean that the disappearance of women can be avoided.
All it does is kill time.
But wouldn’t that be enough?
Until I said goodbye to Carly.
“grandma!”
Kali finally wakes up.
He holds the Kalaratri close to his heart and runs towards the woman with all his might.
The woman flinched and smiled awkwardly.
I tried to hug her, but realized too late that I had no arms.
“Our cute puppy. Will you continue to live well and be strong like you have been?”
“No! No! You can’t go!”
“Grandma trusts our dog. Listen to what the Master says and make sure to reach level 9. Then you can come see Grandma before you die.”
“Me, really?”
“Graham. Your grandmother’s level is low, so it seems like she’ll be persecuted by the ancestors. You have to come quickly and ask the ancestors to look after your grandmother.”
“I will! I will definitely do that!”
Carly burst into tears.
The woman crouches down and hugs Kali.
Without a single hand.
Without even having arms.
Like an old dog hugging its young, just like that.
“Eun-gong. I’m ready.”
“yes.”
Put your hand on the woman’s back.
This is a ritual and a funeral.
The celestial flowers bloomed.
The pure white flames bloomed sorrowfully.
And in it.
The mutated Guardian collapsed, leaving behind only a magical core and a handful of ash.
