Chapter 200 – #44_God of War (2)

#198

One.
Tiphareth, who was flying between the buildings, saw it.
COEX, the largest general exhibition hall in Seoul, is surrounded by a barrier in the form of a large circle.
In that other realm that Yezang manifested, many people must still be dying.

Therefore, Eloa thought that the flute should be destroyed first.
All barrier magic has a backbone and a catalyst.
In this case, the nucleus would be Dagon’s flute.
It is self-evident that barriers must be removed to prevent the spread of damage.

However, as of now, the location of the piri cannot be specified.
This is because of the universal characteristics of barrier magic.
Barriers are usually created so that the inside cannot be observed from the outside or come and go freely.
It is natural that the goal is to create a new world by separating the inside and outside.

Perhaps the military police and reporters who are perplexed by the strange phenomenon are unable to look inside or enter COEX.
It can be said that it is at least fortunate for branch manager Sua, who will take on the aftermath of the biggest case in nearly 100 years.

It doesn’t matter now.
Eloa recited an incantation.

“Contract.”

Her magenta eyes have a subtle magic power, and the ‘light of truth’ begins to flutter.
Tiphareth’s magnetic magic is ‘contract magic’.
A contract naturally entails a price.

From now on, her eyes will be able to see through all deceptions and tricks.
If the contract ends, he will lose his eyesight for about an hour in return.
As the power obtained from the contract dwelled in his eyes, the barrier that had blocked his vision became transparent like glass.

“Ah….”

Eloa found the flute on the rooftop of the COEX Mall several kilometers away.
She looked around in succession, but her eyes were bloodshot.
There was a white knight who seemed to have changed only the color of her enemy knight she was pursuing.
If she had reached this point, there would be no reason for Elroa to be agitated even though she would have wondered.

However, the black armor fighting fiercely against the enemy knight.
Upon discovering the armor, Eloa felt a passion.

Two strands of ribbon extending from the lower back.
The color is slightly different, but the appearance is unmistakable.
The magnetic magic of Ea Sadalmelik, the enemy who took the life of the lovely Raffy, who had never forgotten a single day or even a second.
Its appearance and method of use are all ribbons woven on the ‘Virgin’s Loom’.

“Right….!”

Ecstasy.
It was an explosion that could not be explained otherwise.
A thrilling pleasure that sets your heart on fire as it blows away the boredom, depression, and lethargy that you’ve felt over the past few days like ashes.

“Yes, yes, yes. I believed I believed that four years could not have died.”

Was alive
Ea Sadalmelik was alive.
As Eloah had hoped so much, he lived intact and is doing nonsense today as well.
The pleasure that flowed through her veins made each strand of Elroa’s withered hair stand on end and aroused her vitality.

But immediately, her Elroa’s face hardened.

Uncharacteristically, Ea engaged in a hand-to-hand fight with a sword and shield, as if the aftereffects of Baron Marigold were still there.
She was using swordsmanship.

The deflecting trajectory that was too familiar to the eye spilled the hideous white knight’s thrust.
The all-too-familiar upper part of the trajectory slashed the white knight’s body in half.
Even knowing that it was an absurd delusion, it was similar enough to make me wonder if the witch fighting hard over there was Raffy.

Undoubtedly.
There was no way Tiphareth would forget that swordsmanship, the way he used his body.
The ‘Contract of the King of All Diseases’ inherited by Raffy, whom he loved more than anyone else.
Ea brazenly treats the contract stolen from Laffy as if it were her own.

My head, which had been dyed with joy, turned into a mess as if it had been sunk in mud.
Eloa’s lips parted as she bit hard, and her blood gushed out.
It is the most terrible blasphemy and contempt.

Kill.
Will kill it
No, I won’t kill you gracefully.
I will thoroughly destroy and crush her so that she struggles in her pain enough to regret her own mistakes and beg for her death.

Eloa’s foot kicked her in the air.
In the blink of an eye, Elroa arrived on the roof of the shopping mall and, without hesitation, smashed three white knights who seemed to be interfering.
It didn’t matter what it was or what it had to do with the red knight.

Isn’t the important thing in front of this?
Isn’t a witch who can pour out all her 100-year-old wish, hatred, and resentment lovingly waiting for her?

She “Has come to keep her promise.”

Even the sight of her ungainly armor made from her shadow and her chivalric impersonation is abominable.
Her panacea contract was not for her.
It was a vessel and contract that Eloa had newly created just for Raffi.

Kick the ground
A body strengthened by the six contracts.
Step on the ground

Front feet digging into the ground like soft mud, and hind feet standing upright as if becoming one with the ground.
Regardless of the East and West, inheriting the essence of all martial arts, the technique of fa-kyung (發勁), which was expressed, shattered the crude armor like an insect exoskeleton and dug out the inside.

“You wouldn’t have forgotten me.”

It is difficult.
The vulgar smile on his lips won’t stop.

2.
It had a taste.

“Whoa…”

Seeing Ea clad in black armor tumbling behind her, Elroa finished her drinking.
Even after defeating an enemy, she remains vigilant and takes a deep breath while examining her surroundings.

As the caster loses consciousness, the armor made of black smoke scatters like a shadow.
Eloah, who wished for the longed-for enemy’s face to be distorted with pain, stiffened.

“Man?”

The identity of the person who handled the ribbon and freely used the contract stolen from Raffy.
Shockingly, it wasn’t Ea Sadalmelik.
No, it’s unclear whether she’s even a witch.

Even though half of his face was covered in blood due to torn eyelids, his face was beautiful.
He was a man dressed in a very mundane outfit: jeans and a T-shirt.
In a twist like a blow to her head, Elroa forgot what to do.

I wonder if she’s up to some trick.
For example, check to see if you are cheating your eyes by using illusion-type magic.
However, the magic within her brand is pure.
Moreover, Eloa’s eyes now see through her illusions.

“This… What…”

Embarrassed, Eloa groped the man’s body.
She can’t believe it even after seeing it, so she’s trying to confirm it through touch.
It is a spirit body.
Due to the nature of the spirit body, which maintains the body in the most perfect condition, well-developed muscles were palpable even over the clothes.

Was there a magic that could transform the body of a man and a woman?
Or rather, has there ever been a case in history where a man has used magic of this magnitude?
After all, is this a high-level deception used by Ea?
Maybe it’s the bait she threw?
In the midst of extreme confusion, the opponent who will give the answer has already passed out.

“This, this… This…”
“Get out of the way!”

At that time, a witch came up to the roof and appeared.
She was a witch with dark green hair, dressed in a witch’s uniform, leather riding boots, and holding a wand in her hand.

“Stand back, get out of the way immediately or I will attack you.”

There was a flowing reflection in her blue eyes.
She is a witch, possibly an outcast, who seems to have a relationship with the bedridden man.
Seeing that she has not struck a preemptive strike, she seems concerned that the man will be drawn in.

“Is that what you did?”
“What are you talking about! I did this… Huh?”

Like blowing out a candle, the emerald at the end of the wand had no magical energy that had been gathering and dispersing.

“Ho, by any chance… Duke Tiphareth?”
“It is.”

Pink hair full of personality among witches, and the ‘sword of contract’ held in her hand.
After hearing her twin’s message, Sharon ran to COEX in a hurry because she recognized the identity of the person who seemed to have attacked Siu.
After the witch apprentice was murdered 100 years ago, the secret story of the duke wandering the world to avenge her is well known to the world.

“By the way… Why did you attack Siu?”

However, from what she had heard at first glance, she is a righteous witch.
He was also the one who took the initiative in establishing the location point when the witches used their own circumstances as an excuse to disregard the homunculus and their achievements.

Anyway, no matter how much Sharon develops, she is a monster that there is no way to deal with.
So Sharon tried to talk before making any hasty moves.

“It’s just fine. Who is this man?”

Even as Sharon showed her unwillingness to fight, Tiphareth still refused to lay down her sword.
Not only that, but the atmosphere that radiates from her whole body is a momentum that will cut down even Sharon, including Siwoo.

“He is my friend. Never a bad person! There seems to be some misunderstanding, but we fought here to stop this incident. A little while ago, the apprentice witches of the Jemonai family…”
“This person was using the magnetic magic of Ea Sadalmelik and my apprentice witch. Do you think we can move on to saying that it has nothing to do with it?”

Sharon, her tongue cut off, her mouth shut.
Who is Ea Sadalmelik?
A notorious feat for killing Duke Tiphareth’s apprentice witch.
We know that Siu became her witch after confronting her and passing her death brink, but she was using her magnetic magic?
That’s something even Sharon didn’t know.

However, she believed in Sharon and Siu.
I don’t know how this complicated twist came about, but Siwoo is definitely a good person.
There is no possibility that the evil that the duke is concerned about happened at Siwoo’s hands.
The experiences and memories of the past were telling.

However, it is a judgment based on Sharon’s personal experience.
The duke, who had no such thing, simply believed the words of a third party and did not back down.

“I can see that this is a strange situation. But not really. Siwoo is a kind and good person even if he has a bit of an idiotic side. I am not the kind of person who would harm others for no reason.”
“I don’t know who you are. But if you show up to save a suspicious man in this mess, there’s no way you can’t help but be suspicious. The slightest movement will slash you. Back off.”

As if to show he wasn’t just bluffing, the duke gripped his sword tightly with both hands.
Faced with the duke’s eyes in her tight tension, Sharon discovers a confirmation bias coiled within him.

She had no intention of listening to Sharon in the first place.
She had no intention of clearing up the misunderstanding.
No matter what you say, you are not in a state where you can be persuaded.

“No, on second thought, you are suspicious too. Would you be an outcast? Is it a ploy to disguise himself as a man or steal the reincarnated Ea? Did you get someone’s order? Aren’t you caught up in some sort of fascination without even knowing it?”
“It’s not like that…”
“The Aquarius witch is a wicked one. She got out of my hands 3 times in a way no one could have imagined. She’s never been caught off guard. If this man is somehow related to Ea, there is a chance that you too are being deceived.”

I couldn’t feel the slightest composure in Elroa’s appearance as she quickly followed her words.
Even though she is strong, she begins to speak her words as if she is being chased and cornered.
It was as if she was convincing herself, not her Sharon.

“No… It’s not a bad idea to end it like this. Wouldn’t that be neat?”

Elroa’s sword, which was stretched out in her straight, pointed at her fallen Sioux.
She really has no intention of killing her.
It was a kind of bluff to try out the reaction of Sharon who suddenly appeared while watching the reaction of the man who might be pretending to have lost her mind.
It was because she thought that if she threatened the life of the man who was hiding something, she would get a clue to the truth.

“No!”

Indeed, Sharon’s reaction was intense.
The fire that radiated from her feet created a barrier, blocking her vision.
A tree vine sprouted from the cement blocked the point of the knife aimed at Siwoo’s neck.
Sharon surrenders herself to the sudden gust of wind and rushes to get Siwoo out.
At the same time, it was not a waste to say that his skill at handling the 3 types of magic skillfully was amazing.
But the opponent was bad.

“Wow!”

Sharon grabbed Elroa’s hand by the nape of her neck, just as she was running.
The leg pulled from the ground floats in the air and lands on the cement floor.
Without even recognizing what had happened, the duke was holding Sharon’s neck with cold eyes.

“I told you not to move.”

Seeing the duke face to face with her once again at close range, Sharon was convinced.
A shadow of madness and blind faith.
Even though the eyes are such a pretty color, I can’t feel the light right now.
She was out of her mind now.
She is just running out of control, being eaten by a vengeful spirit.

“Now, can you see?”

The duke twisted Sharon’s neck to make her look at Siu.
At some point, a solid red line was drawn around his neck.
The tip of the blade was digging into the flesh.

“A little more force and this man will die. If you want to save him, tell him everything you know.”
