286. Hope (4)
The iron-blooded lord continued to hiccup with his face dyed red.
“Hey… … , hig… … .”
Could it be that what I said shocked her more than expected?
She had a strange smile on her face, even though she had a surprised, incomprehensible expression on her face.
Should I say it reminds me of the murmur of a squirrel holding an acorn in its mouth?
The iron-blooded lord’s mouth was oozing with laughter.
‘uh… … .’
And seeing that figure, I turned my eyes around while stiffening my body like ice.
It was worth it.
Never before have I seen an enemy so undaunted by a Sangvis lord.
But at best, I thought I would lose my dignity and be surprised by the fact that I would make her emperor… … .
At this point, it’s to the point that I’m worried about the trivial thing in my head.
‘I don’t think I made a big mistake… … ?’
But that doesn’t mean it’s not a reaction that’s terribly offended.
no.
If I had to ask, wouldn’t it be okay since he was smiling like a small animal?
In fact, the iron-blooded monarch was not in a bad emotional state.
I had no choice but to open my eyes wide as I noticed her feelings with the power of a godhead before I knew it.
That would be too… … .
‘This… … .’
Because the emotions felt by the iron-blooded lord have become something close to faith.
‘Is it trust… … ?’
Her emotions, which changed in the blink of an eye, gave a feeling of trust.
However, this could not be called a feeling of trust.
It was darker than trust, but lighter than faith.
There were few things I knew for sure, but there were things I noticed.
It’s not different… … .
「Condition achieved.」
「The iron-blooded monarch’s feelings are favorable to the challenger Han Seong-yoon.」
「The level of the clear reward for the Special Contract Trial <Deep Depth: Iron-Blooded Lord> has increased.」
With this, at least the rewards of the special contract ordeal can be taken decently.
I immediately put a small smile on my lips.
It was worth it.
It was because he had gained the trust of the Iron Blood Lord that he had longed for throughout the ordeal.
actually… … .
“That, that, that… … .”
The iron-blooded lord’s tone, which had stopped hiccups before he knew it, contained no anger.
It’s just that I feel confusion and trust that I can’t hide.
But that was only for a moment.
“Ugh… … .”
She lowered her reddened face and mumbled.
“Your heart… … , now I get it… … .”
How much can you trust me now?
Suddenly, she said she would know my heart, and soon even dyed her ears red.
I don’t know why, but at least it didn’t seem offended.
The iron-blooded lord wiggled his fingers and continued.
“Uh, I don’t know why they did this to me… … , at least I know that your heart is not lying.”
“Is that so.”
“… … So I won’t say anything weak anymore. If you really want to make me emperor, I will do my best.”
“If so, I’m glad.”
Satisfied.
To be honest, I thought it was embarrassing because I was moody unlike her… … .
Seeing the Sangvis lord cheered up made me feel good too.
“And I have something to say to you… … .”
“?”
“… … Well, you don’t have to speak so dryly from now on.”
“Are you talking dry?”
“There is no need to call me by my title or by any other designation. that. It’s a canary… … . It would be nice if you could call me by my first name.”
“… … .”
For a moment, I hesitated to answer.
It was worth it.
Up until now, I could only count on one hand the number of times I’d called the Iron Blood Lord by name.
And every time I saw the iron-blooded lord in the tower, I didn’t even call him by his real name, so I wasn’t used to it.
But did he think that he was reluctant to answer because he was not familiar with it?
The iron-blooded lord shuddered and said as if denying something.
“That, that, that… … . So… … . okay! Aren’t you my aide! That’s why it wouldn’t be right to call with such a distance!”
I didn’t mean to ask anyway, so why bother talking like an excuse?

And if you’re going to become emperor in the future, isn’t it right to keep a distance even from your aides?
There were parts that I didn’t understand slightly, but I didn’t want to think too deeply.
In any case, the iron-blooded lord wanted him to be called by his first name, and since it was such an easy request, he had no intention of refusing it.
“… … All right. canary. I will call you by name from now on.”
and.
“Oh… … .”
The iron-blooded lord, no, the canary soon twitched as if he liked it.
“Hmmmm. okay. Don’t you think the distance has decreased a bit now? Han Seong-yoon.”
“Ah, yes. When I heard it, it seemed like that. At least it’s not bad.”
“yes?”
and… … .
“Iknow, right.”
The moment when I saw the canary’s triumphant smile, I smiled.
Woo woo woo woo-!
It was then.
Kwajijijijijik… … !!
Suddenly, a black pillar slammed into the ground from the sky beyond the snowy field, and there was a roar.
In the blink of an eye, the chat with the canary was cut off, and I had no choice but to harden my mouth before I knew it.
It was worth it.
because… … .
“No way, that… … .”
The black pillar that fell from the sky is one of the abilities I know how to use.
“The Divine Realm?”
The pillars containing the ominous divinity were like the pillars of the divine realm that I had seen so far.
And there was only one existence in this world that could create such an ominous divine realm.
Before I knew it, I muttered with my face stiffened as I felt an unusual demonic spirit swarming all over the snowy field.
“Did the evil spirit who wrote Advent of the Apostles use its power… … .”
It seems that he used the sacred realm fighting dragons at the edge of the snowy field… … .
“Is the situation twisted enough to use the divine realm?”
Looking at the black pillar, I felt a sense of anticipation instead of tension.
“… … It’s fun.”
It was worth it.
‘In addition to learning a new myth, it’s an opportunity to kill a godhead and acquire that divinity… … .’
After all, the final chapter of this special contract ordeal has announced the opening.
‘I’m looking forward to it.’
It’s also very fancy.
***
The canary’s silver hair fluttered in a gust of wind from the black pillar.
“Did you feel it too… … ?”
Suddenly, her red eyes were filled with tension.
The moment when the canary’s ruby-like eyes gave off coolness.
She then spoke vigilantly with a lot of strength in her body.
“A trace of the power released from the black pillar?”
Know.
“That’s right.”
no.
It wasn’t just the level I knew, but I definitely sensed the power of that.
Even if she had reached the level of a sword master, she couldn’t feel it as clearly as I did.
Having encountered the realm of divinity many times, I knew better than anyone what it was.
‘Divine realm. It is also a state of great power. At least the level of an apostle shouldn’t be able to use it.’
That’s why I was sure.
‘Now that’s not the level of Apostle Advent.’
I don’t know what the evil god got from the fierce battle with the dragons.
But one thing was certain.
Currently, the evil god has succeeded in blunting the world’s protection against the dragons.
That’s why they invaded the power to the extent of realizing the divine realm beyond the level of the Advent of the Apostles.
actually… … .
[O Lord! ]
The black dragon, who had been waiting quietly all this time, spoke quickly.
[Connection with other dragons has been lost… … ! ]
“… … .”
[Poem, it seems that something happened with the creation of the sacred realm… … ! ]
“I know.”
From the moment the black pillar slammed down from the sky, I definitely noticed that something was twisted.
“Even if he descended as an apostle, the realm of the godhead is not so easy.”
It was worth it.
“At least communication between dragons, who are the apostles of the dragon god, is basically cut off.”
[ ah… … . ]
“Even if that’s possible in Sadogi, it’s all the more so.”
[Then what should I do… … ! ]
“It’s not that simple.”
I replied with a smile at the black dragon’s confused question.
“Now we enter the divine realm and make a decision.”
[ … … . ]
“Efficient?”
[ … … yes. ]
Originally, as the saying goes, simple is best, whatever it is… … .
In order to solve the current descent of the Apostle of the Evil Spirit on the northern front, you had to go to the center of the storm.
Only then will he be able to kill the apostle of the evil spirit over there.
Maybe in the middle of it, because of bad luck, it could lead to the battle with the final boss.
So there was no reason to avoid fighting any more.
Chak-.
“Let’s go for a little ride.”
At that, I immediately climbed on the back of the black dragon and looked towards the snowy field.
It was worth it.
Previously, it was possible to move using the black dragon’s space jump ability, but not now.
Currently, the sacred area of the black pillar at the end of the snowy field is greatly sacred.
So there was no way to allow space to jump there.
Perhaps divine powers prevent it from leaping through space.
‘It would be better to use a physical means of transportation.’
The black dragon also knew it, and let it ride on its back without resistance.
[ … … You do. It doesn’t feel very good, though. I’m not in a position to cover this up. ]
and.
“canary. Get on.”
The moment he reached out to Canary while riding on the black dragon’s back.
“… … It’s your choice. okay. There must be some things that cannot be solved outside.”
She smiled as if agreeing, then took her hand and climbed onto the black dragon’s back.
“If it is your will, I will go with you.”
As soon as Canary got on, the black dragon kicked the ground.
Shhhhh-!
In an instant, a gong sound occurred and the black dragon’s body accelerated.
very quickly too.
Still, like the apostle of the ancient god, the black dragon was able to reach the edge of the snowfield in a short time.
Before I knew it, I felt goose bumps as I saw an overwhelmingly large black pillar in front of me.
“… … .”
It was huge.
The power of the evil spirits seen earlier in <The Field of Proof> was clearly echoing here.
That’s to a level that mortals can’t handle.
At this point, you will notice that it is not a normal Apostle Advent.
‘Is there such a thing as an upper level compatibility of Apostle Advent?’
Even the descent of the deities seen in the giant tree labyrinth is not so high.
Even when he used Advent in the Battle God Tower, he couldn’t create a sanctuary like this.
It was worth it.
Because descending to an apostle means temporarily transferring a portion of the power of the Godhead himself to the apostle.
There was no way that the apostles, who at most could not even be tower administrators, could handle the power of a godhead.
‘That’s why the apostle couldn’t handle it, so even if I used Advent, the power I could use was limited.’
But this time it’s different.
‘But the evil god even left the sacred realm in the middle of the snowy field.’
What this meant was not too complicated.
‘It means that at least the Advent Advent opponent I’m going to face from now on will be at least a quasi-god.’
Perhaps the apostle of evil spirits here is different from the ones I’ve seen so far.
Perhaps, it could have been higher than the dragons who had the qualifications to protect this world.
It should be at least a 3rd-class official apostle of an ancient deity.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to use the power of the godhead like this.
so… … .
“Isn’t it time to conserve energy?”
Can not help it.
「The divine authority ‘Apotheosis’ is activated.」
「It becomes possible to exercise divine authority according to the potential divinity.」
「The potential divinities are <Transcendence>, <Death>, <Immortality>, <Reversal>, <Observation>, <Discipline>, <Harmony>, <Spoken Spirit>, and <Fighting Spirit>.”
Deed-!
[Shall we go seriously now? ]
The timing to use the apotheosis that has been saved until now.
Soon after, the moment when the apotheosis was activated.
The black dragon rushed straight into the black pillar of light.
In accordance with the activation of the apotheosis, the entry into the sacred realm was made.
really… … .
“You have entered the sacred realm <Demon Ball>.”
The best solo stage in a long time was prepared.
