Chapter 568 – Assassination Family Raven 6 (15)

The pillar of light rising from the ground became wider and wider.

When the light rising endlessly, enough to fill the empty Raven Territory, I had an intuition that the next one would come.

‘I didn’t think it would work because I didn’t cut it directly.’

When I used spirit energy and cut down a powerful enemy, I felt like I was being sucked into the spirit world.

When I closed my eyes for a moment and opened them, I had arrived in a pure white world.

What I met there was the devil.

I couldn’t quite figure out what shape I saw of the young Terran Raven other than the curled horns on his head.

Sometimes it was an adult man, sometimes it was an adult woman, and sometimes it was a huge monster.

I thought that if it weren’t for the fact that something happened to my hair after I exerted all my strength, all of those appearances would have been the same as King Mi-wang’s.

“This is true. On average, I am stronger, but at one point, my strength is unmatched.”

The Demon King said, tapping his head with his hand like he did when he first came up from the demon world.

Then, his appearance changed into a man who looked quite similar to when he took over Terrance Raven’s body.

“Even God was surprised this time. If he had been a little stronger, he might have been cut down too.”

The Demon King said while tapping his chest.

However, when I tapped his chest, I felt like I could see a long line.

There was clearly something huge connected to the heart of the Demon King, probably a transcendental being called an evil god.

“I’m looking forward to seeing how strong the next hero will be.”

“Next? Is there a next time for you?”

“Yes. Because the position of the Demon King is mine. Even if the hero writes a legend and disappears in the passage of time, I will be alive and well.”

“What is the devil to you?”

“They are excellent subjects who helped me descend to the earth. Although I don’t like the idea of ​​giving warriors practical combat experience.”

Because the Demon King is connected to the Transcendent, his thoughts seem to be similar to those of the Transcendent.

In order to summon that guy, I was reminded of the purple-haired demon who opened the door to the demon world by placing a curse on the hero candidate and performing a seven-point battle.

Wouldn’t that devil also be part 1 of what will happen to the Demon King someday?

“Well, hero, have you asked everything you wanted to ask? I liked this time. No matter how much I swung my sword and slain the demon lord, I was frustrated because I knew that it was only temporary peace. That’s how I feel defeated.”

Somehow, the Demon King answered my question well.

The more the truth about the world is discovered, the less the warrior will be able to rejoice in the present moment.

“This time, I was unable to wipe out humanity due to a little twist, but I am satisfied because I saw the greatest warrior of all time.”

The Demon King turned his back with a somewhat relieved look on his face.

I want to give a shot to the soul, but Shahemos and Wozniel are silent due to the reaction.

As I was quietly waiting to be expelled from the spirit world, the shadow of the Demon King stirred.

‘No way?!’

A black dagger appeared from the shadows and stabbed the devil in the back.

“What?”

The dagger that pierced the devil’s heart became stuck in pure white space.

Pajik! Pajik! Paaang!

A fine crack began to form where the dagger was inserted, and when the pure white world was broken around the crack, a black world appeared.

The dagger that opened the path to the black world wavered, and the blurry figure of Terrance Raven appeared.

Terrance Raven appeared out of thin air, grabbed the dagger and threw it back into the black world, and the flying dagger hit the red heart.

Terrance Raven once again moved to the location where the daggers were and used Shadow Craft to create numerous daggers and then began stabbing the red heart.

Sigh! Sigh! Sigh! Deep!

Every time the red heart was stabbed with the dagger of shadow, Terrance Raven’s soul became blurred.

‘I am using my soul.’

What is consumed in the fight of the transcendental is the soul, and what determines victory is the level of the soul.

The red heart that was attacked was also fading, but Terrance Raven was fading faster.

At that time, a blue window appeared in front of my eyes and I heard Terrance Raven’s shout.

“Cyan Raven!”

Shadow Dive.

Terrance Raven, who had become almost transparent as if he had lost all strength to stab the dagger, fell from the dull red heart.

I raised both hands up and combed out the soul sword.

Chamcheonken (斬天劍) The Origin.

Suddenly!

*

『Quest』

〈Godslaughter.〉

-Completion: Rise in rank.

*

The heart of the evil spirit that Terrance Raven chopped up did not have that strong resistance.

When he was cut with the sword of his heart, he felt empty, but not recoiled to the point of losing himself.

“God… Cut down…”

A blurred Terrance Raven spoke in the world of crumbling souls.

The demon king’s soul disappeared after being pierced with a dagger, and his red heart was also scattered into powder.

“Raven… Achieved the karma of divine death.”

Terrance Raven spoke intermittently.

“Yes.”

“Now you can be free… From the curse… Of blood…”

Although the delivery was a bit lacking, I could tell that Terrance Raven was speaking with a very relieved heart.

“Thank you for your hard work.”

“Xian… Raven… Family… Please…”

“Yes, matriarch.”

***

“It’s never been like this before.”

Alfgrid said to himself in the desert sky.

There is probably no one on the continent who has not seen the pillar of light rising from the Raven Territory in the distance, rising shortly after the sun sets.

The power he possessed was so great that he could not be called an ordinary possessor, so he called the contractor Oesin, and once again I thought that was correct.

But if the contractor can use such divine power, what should he be called other than a foreign god?

“Hero.”

Alfgrid said two words and laughed.

A being who appears as an opponent of the devil, an agent of evil spirits, and performs miracles with the power of God.

Thinking that those two words were enough to describe the contractor, Alfgrid focused his eyes on the pillar of light that was slowly disappearing.

***

“What is that?”

Even people who went home after eating at a restaurant.

“Wow! Mom! What is that?!”

So much so that you can even see children eating inside the house.

A huge pillar of light rose.

“Heavenly God.”

“Goddess.”

When the priests saw the pillar of light, they knelt down and prayed.

“Can you determine the exact location? Wizard!”

He even called in his subordinates to find the location where the pillar of light was created.

“Raven territory?”

After the pillar of light that could be seen anywhere on the continent disappeared, Emperor Beowolf Urisian asked back after hearing the location where the pillar of light appeared.

“Yes, that’s right. I recently felt a huge flow of mana and was keeping an eye on it, and that’s where it happened.”

“Send someone right away tomorrow. We need to find out what happened.”

It was okay for something to happen to the Raven family, which serves as the conscience of the empire, because their very existence was offensive.

But since my daughter Rosette and grandchild Lupus were there, I had to find out what happened.

‘I was planning to hand over the emperor’s position to the crown prince, and then something like this happened.’

The emperor touched his forehead and was troubled as to how to interpret this phenomenon.

“A while ago, an oracle was circulated that two gods were selecting warriors. Could it have something to do with that?”

“The Demon King has descended on Raven Territory?”

“If it were the place for the decisive battle…”

As time passed, some information was added.

Six hero candidate parties moved toward the Raven territory.

And not long after, a huge pillar of light rose up.

The warrior candidates and the Raven and Crow families in the Raven Territory have completely disappeared.

“Isn’t the Demon King born in the Raven family and the Hero candidates sacrificed their lives to stop it?”

That interpretation began to spread widely.

***

“The hero has transformed into a demon lord. Are you okay?”

Temple Chief Gwen asked me while I was recuperating in Taib Village.

Shahemos must wake up to use the warp marker to return to Raven Territory, but he has not woken up for three days.

Since there will be less recoil than before, it seems like it will take more time to wake up early.

“It’s okay. If I have an idea, I will send an oracle through the saint.”

“Wouldn’t it be difficult to think about what Xian did? If the evil god and the two gods have the same characteristics as the demon king and the hero…”

The power of the two gods would also have weakened.

As a priest who believed in the goddess, it was something I couldn’t bear to say out loud.

“If you have a conscience, I think you will clear up the misunderstanding someday.”

I glanced at my left wrist, which was now empty.

The silver bracelet that the goddess gave me pulled me in one direction after the Sacred Pillar disappeared, and the place I arrived at was Teib Village.

The bracelet disappeared with Rugnil, who disappeared first, as if the mission had been completed, but Temple Leader Gwen was crying in the temple, thinking that I had died, and the bracelet had disappeared.

“I think we need to quickly decide on a successor, but Caderal is still recovering.”

They tried to vacate the Temple of the Goddess Church of Teib, but there was no suitable successor to head the temple.

Originally, I was going to hand over the position of temple leader when Priest Yui grew up, but it was in the Raven Territory.

Other priests also said that although their skills and personality were not bad, they were worried because there were no outstanding people.

“Take it slow. Well… If something happens, there’s nothing you can do, right?”

I said while looking at Gwen Temple’s still slim lower abdomen.

Master Gwen, who noticed my gaze, said as she pushed herself towards me with her slightly red face.

“Priest Yui said it wasn’t yet, right?”

“Yes.”

“I really need to win this.”

I heard that interacting with people is effective when recovering your soul…

This is therapy.
