Chapter 741
Episode 184. Beyond Fate (13)
The single one that had just been engulfed in eternalization from upstairs had already set fire to dozens of black panthers.
‘Eternal painting does not move as intended… … !’
-[Sarah has reached the desired realm, but you can’t control your fire? There’s no way to do that, so cut quickly. Very weakly, only scratches!]
The words I heard from Bale after discovering Eternity.
Naturally, the original eternalization is a fire that moves according to Jin’s will.
If Jin wants to burn, even if he dies, it will not be quenched, and if he wants to fade, it will immediately fade.
But now, Eternity had already deviated from that rule from the first Black Panther.
A much bigger fire was formed than Jin wanted.
Eternity didn’t ignore Jin’s will at all.
However, it was not completely controlled as usual.
There were far more fires that were transferred and spread randomly than fires that were extinguished by Jin’s will.
‘Did you prepare for seeing that Difus was eternalized… … !’
It was correct.
Myungsin was using Eternity’s ‘never extinguished characteristic’ in reverse.
Xinxin did not know exactly to what extent Jin could completely control the eternity, but he was sure it would never be infinite.
Therefore, it seemed that if he deliberately used Chaos and Jin’s grudge against him as a catalyst to multiply them, he would be able to put pressure on Jin, and the plan worked perfectly.
Jin’s grudge against the evil spirit is so deep and huge that even he himself cannot know.
The resentment was making Eternity burn more fiercely.
Even now the resentment is only growing, so there is no stopping the spread of so many eternities.
In addition, the terrible disappearance of young Rosa just made Jin even more angry.
[Kuhuhhh!]
[Kihiing… … !]
Each time the screams of the black panthers were heard, the ground melted piece by piece.
As soon as the party arrived on the 3rd basement floor, they did nothing, but they were already isolated from all sides. There were also black leopards falling to the next floor one by one.
They’ll be burning the Eternity again and melting the lower layers.
‘If I continue to fall like this, will there be a bust at the bottom?’
There were no options.
This is because the proliferation of fire cannot be stopped, and it cannot rise again. The party had no choice but to continue throwing their bodies downward as before.
Jin briefly explained to his colleagues the fact that Eternity is out of control and his assumptions about why.
“… … I wasn’t using Eternals. For now, we have no choice but to keep holding each other down. You got it right.”
“Don’t beat yourself up, it was inevitable. And my guess is that even if you hadn’t used Eternalization, those panthers would have pressured us endlessly one way or another. I’m sure you’ve made preparations to keep regenerating even if you die until you use Eternity.”
Hedo said.
[I saw a really great sword. If you were in my era, the Seongguk Defense Battle would have been much easier. But 12 riders, I feel the plot of the evil god is a bit strange.]
“What are you talking about?”
[The spirit of souls is not infinite. Since I was trapped inside him, it’s an area I can know for sure. How much do you think it would take to make one black leopard? I don’t know, but you’ll need quite a lot. It’s like burning hundreds or thousands of them.]
The eternity that Jin can control is also limited, and the soul spirit that can be used is the same.
[So, maybe, at the same time that the evil spirit gets us into trouble using Eternity… … I wonder if he’s trying to test himself. I mean whether you can handle the eternalization that has grown to the limit.]
“Your body dares to do such a thing. Cuckoo.”
Hedo shook his head at Octavia’s voice.
“Considering your obsession with Jin, you seem to be someone who can do that, Captain Wraith. He might just want to watch Jin’s sword, even if it’s not necessarily a test for himself.”
“me too… … like that… … think.”
“Everyone hold on to each other, now the ground will go out.”
By that time, the entire third basement floor had completely melted.
The black panthers had all gone downstairs and were out of sight.
Little by little, but deep, fear filled Jin, who started to fall again.
Of course, it wasn’t that he was afraid of fighting the evil spirits.
‘Obviously, as this eternal flower continues to proliferate… … What if it damages an ally?’
The number of people currently with him is not a problem.
Because there are only a few of them, and each one is a transcendent talent.
However, it was a completely different story when the Eternals multiplied and attacked friendly forces wandering around here.
‘Vale said that not even Orgal would be able to turn off Eternity on his own. The moment Eternal Flower hits allies at this speed, devastating damage is unavoidable.’
Throughout the fall, such thoughts disturbed Jin’s inner mind.
Even this was frustrating as if a thorn was stuck in his throat because he seemed to have expected the bust.
It was not easy to shake off the feeling that I was being played on the palm of my body.
surely.
This fight was different from the others. After returning, he had never been shaken this far by defeating numerous enemies.
Unlike before, the descent did not end immediately.
It seemed that the speed at which the black panthers melted the ground was faster than the speed at which the party fell.
It was clear that it was still heading downwards.
The longer the descent, the more the party felt the aura and magical organs getting clogged up.
Most of them were even seriously injured, so the feeling was even more doubled.
In the end, Octavia was the first to lose consciousness. Hedo and Alpen were also clearly out of breath, and even Bianca, her least harmed, picked her breath with her long sighs from time to time.
Even in the midst of this, the superhumans never relaxed from the hands holding each other.
Jin continued to think.
How can I protect my allies?
Among the fallen allies were most of the people he treasured above all else.

Perhaps the labyrinth of the castle of evil spirits may have already moved Eternal Flower to the place where her friends are.
Every time I imagined them burning to death in the eternal fire, goose bumps ran through my body.
As if someone were drawing the scene directly in their head and injecting it, they didn’t stop even if they didn’t want to recall it.
‘Can I keep them all? Can everyone return without dying? I’m already helplessly falling into a trap before I even start a direct battle with the evil god.’
Bad thoughts tend to get worse.
The more difficult the situation was, the more frightening it was.
[12 horsemen… … what do you do?]
Alpen suddenly opened his mouth. He was going off and on again and again.
“Sir Alpen?”
[Hold your hand tighter. You shouldn’t be weaker than me when I’m tired.]
Alpen’s words gave Jin an answer.
‘I’m not protecting them alone.’
It is for us to protect each other.
This was something I had already realized once during the preliminary battle in the inner world. I just forgot about the urgency of the situation.
“I’m glad there are people like my ancestors left.”
Once again, my mind suddenly became clear.
Every time he was able to clear his messy inner world in this way, Jin was overcome with the feeling that he was escaping the will of the evil spirit one step at a time.
‘There is Valeria on the side of our troops.’
If it were her, she might be the first to sense the crisis of eternity by using record magic.
The same was true of Veradin, who had recently learned pseudo-record magic, and beings such as Orgal and Veil were able to minimize damage to allies.
Dante could raise an intangible sword wind to hold back the approaching Eternity, Quikantel could use his powers to buy some time, and Siris’ ice could seal the Eternity.
Or even if nothing can stop eternity.
Somehow, allies and allies will try to escape from eternalization.
It’s not just to live, it’s because I don’t want to hurt Jin. In order not to fall into the sadness that each other killed each other.
I will run away with that heart. It was a battle he could never win without trusting his comrades and himself.
Even if it was temporary, I had to trust the allies as much as today.
That was the part Jin lacked the most.
Until just before the decisive battle, Jin was engaged in a war of nerves with them about the war that would follow after the death of the god of death.
Even if tomorrow the hostile relationship ends only when one side perishes again, today, I had to sincerely give my back and fight with them.
Unknowingly, Jin’s expression, distorted by internal pain, was gradually returning to normal.
The fall ended just like that.
The first thing that came into Jin’s field of vision as he landed on the ground with a black wind was the ground engulfed in dim fire.
Black panthers were burning everywhere. It was a much smaller number than what Jin had seen on the 3rd basement floor.
I don’t know if all the others have been reduced to ashes in eternity, or if they have fallen into another space in the maze.
The floor no longer melted. That meant that after a long fall, the party had finally reached the lowest floor of the Castle of the Gods.
‘… … Isn’t this the center of the lowest floor?
Jin looked in the direction where the Eternity Flower was getting bigger and bigger.
Hedo carried Octavia and the one-armed family head, and Bianca carried Alpen.
As Jin started to walk, the eternal flowers split in two and formed a path.
The lights seemed to be talking to him and giving him directions.
Jin walked through his fire like that.
No matter how many areas the alternative eternalization burned, the flames only grew stronger and stronger even after walking for a long time.
I could feel the weak aura, magic power, and golden power from far away.
My colleagues fell to the bottom floor a little faster than Jin.
But Jin was not impatient. It was unlikely that his comrades would have perished in Eternity.
Still, I moved faster. The flames swayed wildly like a windy barley field, opening the way, and after a while, Jin was able to face the allied fleet surrounded by Eternity.
Like a tidal wave, a huge Eternity was driving allies.
There was a mixture of dark spirits between the fires, and the spirits seemed to retreat to the fire on the other side as Jin got closer.
Jin intuitively recognized that there was a chest there. Inside that black fire barrier where the retreating spirit clings.
Eventually, when Jin opened the fire on his side, his comrades who were struggling to push the Eternity out were revealed.
They thought that Hongki was intruding from where the fire was opened and immediately took an attack posture, but when they confirmed that it was Jin, they let out a sigh of relief.
There were also quite a few who collapsed as if they had barely stood up until now.
[Is it Jin Runkandel?]
It was Orgal’s voice.
He was battered and barely holding on to his broken protective shield. He was so relaxed that he couldn’t even look at Jin.
If Jin had been a little later, if he had regained his composure later.
The whirlpool of eternity that had imprisoned his comrades would have killed them all like worms in a fist.
“Yes, this is the 12th Horseman, Gene Runcandel. I will join you again from now on.”
