Chapter 184
An insensitive voice pierced through the noise and stuck in my ears, even though he didnt bother to raise his voice.
An extreme sense of crisis boiled over me and it was actually me who raised my voice.
Dont play mind games, Reed!
Im being merciful. Im trying to remind you of the truth so you dont put in any unnecessary effort.
The truth.
With that word, I knew what was coming.
Dont do it.
My low voice was nothing short of a growl, but Reed was just laughing.
His grip on Terrys silver hair tightened.
My eyes were wide open.
No.
Dont
Tesilid Argent, look at me.
Stop it, please!
Of course, my desperate wish would not be granted.
Whack.
Ugh.
Reeds violent grip turned Thesilids head towards him.
A twisted face that had been forcibly bent and a face full of madness were staring back at each other.
Sea-green and blood red, silver hair and black hair.
The gazes of the two men, whose colors seem to have been reversed, were intertwined in the air.
The two main characters faced each other in one timeline.
Their meeting was finally happening.
After what felt like an eternity, Reed declared with shaking eyes as if they were about to break.
I am your future.
Stop it, Reed!
Tsuzzzzzzzz!
My aura melted some part of the barrier and Serpens blade dug into the surface that was starting to become flabby.
Reeds eyes were wide open. At first, there was surprise, but as the pupils widened, his eyes became tinged with subtle madness.
You want to kill me?
Reeds grip on Thesilids hair strengthened.
Then kill me.
!
Thesillid was thrown in front of my blade. I hastily let my sword slip from my grip and received him.
At the same moment, dozens of aura blades were aimed at me from all directions.
Kwaaaaang!
The aura blades stuck into the surface of the barrier I was clinging to a moment ago, causing an explosion. My body, which landed far away while clutching Thesilid, moved backward as if sliding.
After a long time, my heels which had been pushing forward, stopped.
And at that moment.
Cough!
Terry!
Reed violently took away the aura bade that was stuck in Thesilids chest.
I laid Thesilid down on the floor and pressed my hand to his chest. At the same time as stopping the bleeding, I poured out all my healing power.
Terry!
Eli
I confirmed that he was still breathing.
But relief was fleeting. I immediately looked up, exhaling in a huff and glaring at Reed who stood in front of the throne.
You
I cant forgive you.
But my anger didnt reach the crazy Reed. He just stared down at me with eyes that seemed to be possessed by something.
Its enchanting.
What kind of bullshit is this?
The way your eyes turn gold when you look at me.
Divine Descent!
Eyes and hair changed color. I took advantage of the moment when my body was about to be lifted by the powerful divinity and kicked the floor.
The power of floating was fully added to the power of acceleration, allowing me to speed beyond my limits.
I crossed the throne room, building up all the support skills, including Inviolability and Holy Hymn, on my body.
Reed, who standing in front of the throne, got close in an instant.
Reed!
Instead of Serpens that I dropped earlier, I wielded Europa, another weapon and my first sword.
My aura sliced the air. Reed twisted to the side, trying to catch me from behind.
I immediately changed Europas attack halfway in.
The Queens Might makes transcendental-like orbital changes possible and the sword loaded with aura cut Reeds waist in a horizontal arc.
He dodged by leaping backward.
Since I had no intention of increasing the distance, I struck at him one after another.
A leisurely voice passed by my ears.
Youre more divine than before. God is quite fond of you, indeed.
But Ellet Rodelline, I want you to fall.
To where I am.
!
As if he couldnt allow my feet to leave the ground, a strong gravitational pull dragged me down.
Both my legs touched the ground and stood at the same level as he had hoped.
The moment he smiled and raised his head with genuine satisfaction.
Shhh!
With a crackling sound, my sword grazes the base of his throat.
A distorted sense of time. For an eternal moment, his and my gazes locked at each other.
The battle was at a complete stalemate.
Reed narrowly dodged the tip of my sword, as if taking precise dance steps.
Accordingly, his long black hair fluttered here and there in front of my field of view. His body was gradually retreating backward, but there was no feeling of actually pushing him back.
<This bastard!>
Agnes gritted her teeth. It was the same for me too.
There was no sign of aggression coming from him.
He was even empty-handed. He didnt take his sword out.
At this moment, anyway, the most effective weapon he could wield was not metal, but language.
17th.
Reed called his past self.
My sword fiercely plunged into his face. However, Reed avoided it by tilting his head slightly.
Listen carefully.
My gaze reflexively turned to Thesilid. In the distance, he was struggling to get up but paused.
I felt the blood drain from my body.
Even if what is revealed from now on is the truth, it cannot be done this way.
This was just violence.
Shut up, Reed.
Of course, he wasnt listening.
It wont be until the 85th round that you will succeed in saving the world.
Dont listen, Terry!
The other guy also doesnt listen to me. Thesilid, frozen and motionless, hangs on to every word Reed uttered.
This prophecy based on evil will may cause a crack in the Thesilids mind.
It must be stopped.
I immediately reached back and cast a protective shield on him.
Not a chance.
But Reed blocked it with a flick of his hand and continued to ruthlessly drive stakes into Thesilids mind.
But even if you save the world, there is no reward of eternal rest. You just have to go back until you save the world? No, you were scammed by God and you will be on your way to the 86th fucking round.
Reed!
I gritted my teeth and lunged at Reed. But the tip of Europas sword did not reach him, just like my wishes for him to shut up.
Then there is only one way left.
Divine Punishment!
A ray of lightning comes out from the sky of the Demon World and strikes the spot where Reed and I were engaging in a close fight.
Kwazizizk!
Reed didnt avoid it.
As if showing off, blue electricity coiled here and there over his body because of a direct hit, but soon enough, demonic energy swallowed up all the remnants of divine power.
Id expected nothing less from him. Retreating into the distance, I turned my back on Reed.
Terry!
I lunged at Thesilid, who was frozen like a stone statue and we fell to the floor together as he instinctively caught me.
Reed looked down at us with a cold gaze.
Id prefer you refrain from such skits in my presence.
Get off each other so I can finish what Ive been saying.
An even lower voice echoed through the throne room.
17th, you will save the world ten more times after that. And it is not until the 99th round that we learn what Saving the World really means.
Dont listen, Terry. You cant listen.
I tried to cover Thesilids ears. But my hand was aimed at his eyelids, not his ears.
Hymn of Eternal Sleep.
A warm divine power that did not suit the situation extinguished Thesilids consciousness.
A light chuckle flew out and pierced my ears.
I just have to wake him up again and thats it. You did something meaningless putting him to sleep for a split of a second thats not worth even being called a nap.
At the moment when Reed pointed at Thesilid as if aiming with his fingertip.
I said.
Meaningless? No, a moment is enough.
It was a declaration in a tone quite different from ever before. Reed was startled as if he felt something hiding there.
I smirked at him.
Everything I did was a calculated situation.
Silly Thesilid must have been activating the Guardian of the Beloved while I was engaged in a skirmish with Reed.
But the momentary rupture of consciousness that just occurred also cut off the Guardian of the Beloved.
The conditions have been met.
I immediately grabbed Europa with a reverse grip.
What are you doing?
Jet-black aura blades were created around Reed.
But it would be impossible to close the distance Id already created.
From where I could see, his eyelids were open with a faint tremor.
Staring back at his bright red sea, I stuffed Europa into myself.
Pushk!
!
!
We could clearly feel the shock of skin and flesh ripping apart. And.
A terrible pain that shot through my abdomen.
<Ellet!>
[The World-building God is appalled!]
[The Scales that Judges the Soul is aghast!]
[The Spoiler Inspector is horrified!]
I gritted my teeth, endured the pain, and waited.
And finally, the expected response came.
Ellet Rodellcough,kug!
Reeds blood poured out where the throne was. From his abdomen and his mouth.
I snapped my head over my shoulder and stared back at Reed, trying to twist Europe at a right angle
Eli, stop!
