## Chapter 1431 – Transcendence

“I’m beyond words, you skeletal bastard!!! How dare you discuss infinity with such paltry standards!!!”

It sounded impressive, but it was just bullshit. Utterly ridiculous. A lich who’s lived for a few thousand years dares to talk about infinity?

Do you think that makes sense mathematically!!!

In this day and age, the concept of infinity is being thrown around too much. Exodia’s attack power is infinite? Infinity isn’t just a big number… it’s the end. The concept that there is no final destination.

Therefore.

“Infinity is none other than this Kim Kat!!!”

ㅡThwack!

I pointed at the lich and shouted!!!

“Just because a crazy skeleton like you has lived for thousands of years doesn’t mean it’s infinity!!! Know that!!!”

Mathematically speaking, this mathematician Kim Kat is the man truly worthy of the title of infinity. Kim Kat is infinite. He has no end. He runs endlessly. Of course, mathematically speaking, it’s nonsense, but this Kim Kat is originally a nonsensical man.

「…」

The lich was silent for a moment.

「…Just where is this infinity you speak of?」

He said something like that.

“Hahahaha!!! You still haven’t realized infinity even after seeing me!!!”

How foolish!

“Then that just means that’s the level of your insight! To think you’ve lived for thousands of years with such a low-level perspective! What a meaningless life! I must offer condolences to all those who have suffered because of you! Hahahahahahahahahaha!!!”

It was such a funny thing to say that I couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

I clutched my stomach and laughed uproariously. Smile. Smile power. Was it because I was laughing? The pain and fatigue seemed to be fading away quickly.

Yes.

People should always live with a smile. What kind of disaster would occur if the next generation of children, who will create a new world, were to lose their smiles? As the guardian of smiles, I must protect the smiles of children.

“H-He’s laughing…?”
“Leave him be. It’s good to be positive.”

The girls started chiming in from the side. Taking a quick break, I checked on the other girls. They were maintaining their positions properly.

Perfect.

Soon.

「…Pathetic, insignificant.」

The lich’s heavy, viscous mental wave was fired. Like a place where factory wastewater is discharged. A mental wave filled with anger, like the sludge stuck to the bottom.

“Yeah. Self-introduction.”

That’s all I have to say.

ㅡThwack.

While flipping him off.

「…I will kill you all. I will end the reign of the evil Outer Gods and liberate the souls of humanity.」

“Heh heh heh, what kind of humanity are those pale things?”

That’s not liberation.
It’s just a massacre.

The cruel King Leopold II of Belgium also pleased the Belgians by slaughtering the Congolese. Is that liberation and salvation? Absolutely not. Only imperialists think that way.

“But if that’s the case, shouldn’t you go kill those fragmented Outer Gods yourself? Why are you trying to cut off the supply of souls by killing people?”

「…」

“Don’t tell me you can’t? You can’t, can you?”

The lich didn’t answer.

Well, yeah.

Since he can’t directly confront the Outer Gods, he’s come up with the alternative of wiping out the old humanity. Although they’re fragmented, the current lich is probably weaker than he was in his prime.

I have a rough idea of what’s going on.

Perhaps the reason the lich is so obsessed with dimensional magic is to open a door to the celestial realm where the Outer Gods exist.

“Pathetic bastard. You become a monster because you pursue the easy path like that. In comparison, how upright and righteous is this Kim Kat. Ah! This lovely and virtuous Heavenly Demon! This Kim Kat is the true savior!!!”

Therefore, I had no choice but to love myself even more.

Because this is.

`The Righteous Savior`.

“Hehe, Kat. You’ve regained your strength?”
“Yeah! I feel much better now!!!!”

I feel energized!

“Heh, then we should go again.”
“We beat him up like crazy and it didn’t work? Then think about whether we need more people.”

Karin giggled as she lifted me up.

And we.

Took our positions again.

“Here we goooo!!!!”

ㅡKwaaaaaaaang!!!

We charged towards the lich again!!!!!

“Kuaaaaaaaaaaaa!!”
“Kieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek!!

Towards the lich again!!!

“There’s only one thing to show a bastard who claims to be infinite!!! The fact that this Kim Kat is the one and only!!! And the true infinity!!!!”

ㅡTsupat!

The four of us became light and surged forward. The girls were slowly getting used to the lich’s patterns. And the same goes for the girls who were providing ranged support from over there. The more we fight, the more advantageous it becomes for us!!!

ㅡKwaaaaang!!!

A fierce collision.

Blocked.

“All at once!!!”
“Hit himooooooooot!!!”

ㅡKugugugugugung!!!

We slammed into him with a combined attack. A blow that would shatter the sky and twist the earth. An explosion erupted, but it had no effect. Nevertheless, we continued our barrage. While being careful of the lich’s area-of-effect magic and target-specific magic, we sequentially stuck to him and unleashed our strongest consecutive attacks…!

“Kuaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!”

At that moment, Liztina, who was facing the lich head-on, roared with light in her eyes.

ㅡKwagagagang!
ㅡKwaaaang!!
ㅡKugugugugugugung!!

And what poured out was overwhelming violence. Her devastating barrage slammed into the front of the barrier. We didn’t miss the opportunity. Karin and Cloudie surged in from different directions and battered the barrier, and I soared upwards.

“Heavenly Demon Sky Shattering Palm.”

As if falling like a meteor, I slammed my fist down.

ㅡKugugugugugugugugugugugugung!!!

A huge explosion occurred.

ㅡPagang!

The massive shockwave generated from the explosion spread out as if it would engulf the world itself. A destructive force on the scale of a natural disaster.

ㅡKugugung!

The earth shook and the ground split apart.

“Even with this.”

It didn’t even crack?

ㅡKwaaaaang!
ㅡKuuuuuuuuuung!!

It was truly an explosive battle.

Three mages were spamming dispels and combat magic from over there, and the four of us were hammering the lich’s barrier all at once. We continued to do so. At least if we keep doing this…! The lich will have no choice but to focus on defense!!!

At that moment, as we were unleashing our attacks!!!

ㅡPachik!!

A sign of an attack!!!

“Dodge!!!”

I reacted immediately and pulled back, but ㅡTsupat! The beams that were fired weren’t just one. ㅡPaaat! One of the dozens of beams that stretched out very accurately struck Karin!!!

“Khaaaaaaak…!”
“Karin!!!!”

I immediately flew towards Karin, and Karin shouted fiercely as she tried to launch herself back into the fight!

“I’m okay, you son of a biiiitch!!”

But I can see it! The spot where she was hit by the beam, her forearm had turned pitch black! Karin’s strength alone wouldn’t be enough to overcome it!

ㅡPaaat!

“Hey…!”

I immediately hugged Karin and shot my body towards where Kadia was.

“No!!! Go down first! Go to Kadia and get healed and then rejoin us! I’ll hold out until then.”
“You little shit…! Fine! Then hold out!!!”

I dropped Karin off where Kadia was, after Karin spat those words out. Before Kadia and Karin could say anything, I returned to the battlefield.

“Kat! Karin is!!!”
“She’s seriously injured but she’s okay! Kadia can heal her at that level! Be careful of getting hit!!! Don’t stop the offensive!!! One person is missing, so we have to fill that hole!!!”

ㅡKuuuuuung!!!

And so, we clashed with the lich without Karin…! But I could feel that our firepower had decreased sharply! The lich’s barrier still hadn’t even budged!!

「Is this the infinity you spoke of? How insignificant.」

“You fucking son of a bitch!!!”

ㅡPachichik!

Perhaps he had found some余裕, the lich was trying to attack again. We had no choice but to all create some distance. The gap in combat power was too great without Karin.

ㅡPaaaaaaat!
ㅡHwareureureureureureuk!!

Still, it was easy to avoid the lich’s attacks.
Because all we had to do was focus on evasion.

“How about we just evade until Karin comes back!”
“Then the lich might recover his strength. Kat. Tell us. What should we do?”
“There’s no choice. Wait for Karin to rejoin us. He won’t be able to recover if he continues to attack.”

Having decided that, we bought time by evading the lich’s magic. Still, we were able to buy time because Risha, Winia, and Hilde were helping us from behind.

I’m so glad.

“I’m back!!!”

As we were doing that, Karin came back!

“Karin!”

Liztina called out Karin’s name with a face that seemed very happy for a moment, and we shot our bodies towards the lich again.

ㅡKugugugugugugung!!!

The battle continued.

The surroundings were already devastated. We couldn’t afford to worry about anything else anymore. The four of us unleashed our determination and fighting spirit, and with evil and grit. We poured all our strength into breaking the lich’s barrier.

Like this…!

Will our strength run out first?

“Haaaaaaaap!!!”

Will this infinity not be infinity? My whole body was already covered in blood. My body, which I hadn’t been able to properly heal, had turned dark. If this continues…! No. I shook off my 잡념 and shot out my fist, slashed my sword, and slammed my kick.

Because that’s all I have to do.

“Y, ou…! Fucking bastard!!!”
“Just die alreadyyyyyyoot!!!”

Because the girls were also spitting blood and screaming as they fought.

Then, at some point.

ㅡPachik.

That small sound that echoed. Was accurately captured by my ears, and ㅡTsupat. The atmosphere changed in an instant. That’s right. Everyone heard it.

That a slight crack had formed in the barrier.

“It’s done!!! It cracked!!!”

Extreme pleasure erupted… Finally!!! A crack had formed in the barrier!!! Then!!!! ㅡHwareureureureureureuk!! Faster than I could recognize, I was squeezing out my strength and deploying the Caesarean Section. No. Not a section. A perforation to create a hole…! Real Jang Perforation!!!

ㅡPaaat.

I held Byugal in reverse grip. I concentrated all my strength in my forearm and hand, and imbued the overflowing Heavenly Demon’s power into the blade. It was a very subtle and fast attack.

I was already slamming the Real Jang Perforation into the cracked part very accurately, while slamming Byugal down.

“Dieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!”

But that’s not the end. Karin. Karin, who had seized the opportunity, swung her sword with all her might. Not a normal swing. Like a hammer. Using the flat of her sword, she slammed down on Byugal’s pommel.

A fierce blow to strengthen the destructive power of the Real Jang Perforation and.

“Liz God Art Liz Reigning Step!!!!!!!!!”

Following that, Liztina’s Heavenly Demon… what? Liztina, who had soared up at some point, fell towards this side and trampled on Karin’s sword.

「ㅡKuuung!!!!」

The stabbed Byugal. Karin, who was hammering it like a hammer. And Liztina, who was stepping on it to deliver the finishing blow.

That.

ㅡKwajik!!

At the moment they exploded at the same time.

ㅡTsupaaaaaaat!

Cloudie, who had flown in, very accurately slammed a smooth support hit into the very top of the cracked barrier. The very end.

And.

ㅡKwajik.

Byugal’s blade pierced through the barrier and went inaaaaaaaaaaat!!!!!!

“I put it inaaaaaaaaaaat!!!”
“You son of a biiiitch!!”
“It’s doneeeeeeeeeeeoot!!”

「ㅡTuquakakakakakakakakakakakakakang!!!!!!!!」

Along with the most intense explosion.

「ㅡPachangchang!!!!!」

The lich’s barrier shattered and broke into pieces. “Miyoooooooong!!!” In the midst of the bursting joy, I poured even more strength into my arm to inflict a more certain blow and kill the lich…!

Like this!!!!!!!!!

Like this, this fucking lich!!!!!!!!!!

Like that.

ㅡKwajik.

For the first time in history, into the lich’s bones.
Was the moment I plunged my blade in.

「…How dare you.」

Along with the viscous mental wave that flowed out.

「ㅡKuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuung!!!!!!!!」

An explosion of unimaginable proportions erupted.
