Chapter 146 – Chapter 145 – Beyond (9)

Again, it was as I expected.

I felt Aris’s hand touch the senses connected to the Ego Sword, and when I used the positional change, I saw an attacking blow.

Write-!

She didn’t even have time to be surprised, she drew the levatein in one go.

It was a blow prepared in advance, as she had previously handed her balmung to Aris and told her to use it in a ‘crisis situation’.

The exploding spaces were cut off with a single blow that contained a trick of pleasure.

“… Fuck, I almost got into trouble.”

I cursed at the demon I could see in the distance.

Half-man, half-beast demon, Fenrir.

The guy who should be stuck in the castle of demons is now intruding into this scenario.

If I hadn’t prepared in advance… Something terrible would have happened.

“Ku-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-!”

Fenrir looks at me and bursts out with her laugh.

Angered at the guy who could have killed them, I threw the face of Bette who had just returned from a slash to the floor.

And mercilessly trampled them with their feet.

Kwajik!

White bone fragments ovate in all directions.

Fenrir continued to grin, opening her mouth with her razor-sharp teeth, what a joy it was even though her own companion was dead.

“Split something, you bastard.”

After hanging her sword in her hand, she walked slowly towards her penril.

Fenrir also came towards me, matching my steps.

We looked into each other’s eyes from close range.

As I look at the image of myself contained in his yellow eyes, Fenrir speaks to me.

“Nice to meet.”

As if he really wanted to see me, Fenrir greeted me.

“Fuck it, you bastard.”

To answer that greeting, I slashed his chest with Levatein.

Chew-!

Fenrir leaps backwards before her chest is cut deeply.

However, blood gushed from Fenrir’s chest, probably because I took a step forward and cut him.

“Kuh-kuh-kuh…! It’s a swordsman, so it’s romantic to say hello with a sword.”

Fenrir broke her neck, not caring even though her blood was flowing.

In that moment, Fenrir’s chest was left with only blood scabs, but no scars.

Fenrir raises both hands.

Then, a strange hum filled the air.

‘Space vibration.’

It’s his unique passive, and his most demanding trait.

Having been hit countless times by the guy who bites the space with the knuckles called the upper and lower jaws, I knew how damn good that ability was.

“As expected, I can understand it when I face it. The only person my instinct wants is you.”

“I’m not a bestiality.”

When I draw a line with no room for entry, Fenrir sends a fierce gaze at me as if he likes that too.

“I was convinced that this moment would be more valuable even if I killed thousands or tens of thousands, wasn’t it?”

Fenrir asks me.

“The fighting spirit boiling in the blood and the pounding heart. Beasts that only run towards the light… Because that’s us.”

“Don’t give a damn.”

I immediately cut off that psychopath’s words that tied ‘we’.

Behind Fenrir, you can see the hollow earth.

What are the sins of those who disappeared without a trace?

Feeling my gaze, Fenrir shrugged his shoulders.

“I don’t quite understand why I’m being swayed by personal feelings, but that must be what I’m human.”

“Wait a minute…”

Looking at the disappearing gaze behind me, I remembered a fact I had forgotten.

‘Maya.’

Maya, who was extracted as a person with the ability to give buffs, was placed in the 5th line of deterrence.

No way…

I blankly looked at the other side and asked Fenrir quietly.

“Have you ever seen a girl with brown hair over there?”

“Ah.”

Fenrir stared at my face, and she smiled as if she noticed something.

“You mean that squirrel woman?”

Pounding.

My heart trembled.

The empty ground in front of me shook in an instant.

Maya’s goofy smile flashes through her mind.

“Ah…”

Pounding. Pounding.

Heart beats again

Breathing was slightly shaky.

The loud sound of the heart filling my ears erases all hearing.

Thump… Thump… Thump…!

The heart that trembles inside the body makes the body ring.

Fenrir licked her lips with her tongue as she watched Jung Joon like that.

On the contrary, the fact that Fenrir, who considers humans inferior to bugs, remembers Maya could be proof that she is ‘alive’.

She had no time to think about Jeong Jo-jun, who had lost her reason.

As Fenrir grabbed her hair with one hand, she thought as she looked at Jung Joon, who was holding onto her leba tin.

After all, anger is the great driving force of human beings.

As if the hostility from earlier had been a joke, the killing spree he was now revealing towards himself was more sticky than he could have imagined.

Looking at the black pupil of the swordsman, constantly sinking through her hair, Fenrir let out a wild laugh.

“Am I not right?”

Fenrir’s yellow eyes and Jeong Jo-joon’s black eyes turned to each other.

Although the colors and shapes were different, strangely, the two felt a sense of identity.

“You are a beast.”

Revealing the Fenrir Guy, he shakes off her hands.

Ugh-!

Space vibrates, and two figures rush towards each other.

Kagagak-!

With knuckles and blades colliding, the beasts that came close to each other began biting each other.

* *

Maya’s face came into my mind.

That simple, foolish smile lingered in my memory for a moment, then flared up.

The burning memory of Maya soon turned into anger and heated my body.

The red sword strikes against Fenrir’s white knuckles.

Whoa-!

When Fenrir tried to devour me by vibrating her space at close range, I used the returned Balmung to aim for his back.

Fenrir clicks her tongue and presses her own fists together.

Quaang-!

An explosion of space exploded nearby and pushed Fenrir away at the same time.

After turning around in the air, I scratched the ground and stood up. I saw Fenrir with a balm stuck in my back.

“Tsk…!”

Fenrir clicks her tongue and pulls out the balmung stuck in her back and throws it away.

I’ve already tried breaking it a few times, but it didn’t break, so I realized that was the best.

Balmung’s passive [Wound] Is activated, and blood drips from the scars left on Fenrir’s back.

“You’re annoying.”

Fenrir casually rips out the entire cut on her balmung.

Patter…!

A large piece of flesh fell off, and hot blood warmed the air.

Fenrir’s wounds healed faster enough that it felt like an illusion.

“…”

It has changed too.

I was sure of that look.

The Fenrir I dealt with before was different enough to say that it was not Fenrir.

He was much more adept at tearing through space using his upper and lower jaws.

There was no limit to the extent to which the ability to heal wounds felt limitless.

Obviously, like the previous succubus queen, I wondered if the power of something was involved.

Quaang-!

Fenrir grabs space from afar and explodes.

Her row of spaces are torn apart, rushing towards me.

I drew a blow with the trick of pleasure and cut the space.

Just as the rushing water lost its way, the exploding space powerlessly disappeared within it.

“Ku-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-!”

As if he was satisfied with this battle, Fenrir laughed.

“How long are you going to keep fighting?”

Fenrir speaks to me while licking his protruding fangs.

It’s a war of attrition.

Certainly he was right.

If Fenrir was the same kind as the succubus queen, what I would do was already decided.

‘Question.’

I have to look out there and cut him down using the traits that push my limits.

Lower the sword obliquely

Perhaps noticing something, Fenrir raised her eyes.

“Are you finally coming?”

Fenrir also slowly moved her own body.

Her left hand under her own, her right hand above her head.

As if forming the teeth of a beast, Fenrir slowly crouched over her body.

On the contrary, I just lowered my sword at an angle and stopped moving.

My body didn’t move, but countless sword strikes were passing through my head.

A blow beyond the limit.

Imagine the beyond that you haven’t been able to cut down so far.

I can think of how to beg what I couldn’t achieve, but that was my ‘characteristic’.

A question that continues to look beyond, to the invisible end.

‘Maybe?’

I have a question in my head.

When one sword strike came to mind, I wasn’t convinced.

That was my signal flare.

Click.

I laid the sword more obliquely back.

I looked beyond Fenrir.

“Kuh-kuh-kuh…! Isn’t that fun?”

Fenrir crouched down even more, inflating his muscles.

“This duel of holding on to the light that might go out at any moment and swinging it at each other.”

Fenrir said something, but I just quietly repeated it in my head so as not to miss the blow.

Silence.

For a moment, silence filled the space, as if they had come together.

However, the silence was not calm, but rather a throbbing and ferocious silence.

It was Fenrir who broke the silence first.

Fenrir crouched down with both arms and let out a roar, tearing through the space.

Woo-woo-!

The upper and lower jaws ferociously shredded the space.

The space shattered like pieces of glass rushed like a whirlpool, devouring everything in front of it.

Like a storm raging.

Fenrir looked at Jung Joon as if he was wondering.

Strangely, however, Jeong Jo-jun was not looking at his blow.

The two empty pupils look beyond the storm and beyond themselves.

Goose bumps all over the body.

Beast instinct screamed, something was wrong.

Jung Joon takes his step and draws his sword.

‘Ah.’

Seeing the slowly falling sword, I was convinced.

‘This is definitely wrong.’

Chain fluid-!

Space is divided

No, even beyond that is drawn.

Something indescribable absurdity strikes me.

As it is, it cannot be avoided.

Fenrir realized that, and decided to dismember her body and scatter it all over him.

You just don’t have to hit that blow.

If you don’t get hit by that blow alone, you can always recover again.

Kwagwagwa!

In her slowed world, Fenrir severed the muscles in her own body.

As she was about to slash her body from side to side, slicing through her entrails, a sword with a blue jewel flew at her from beside her.

Pooh-!

As if not allowing her to run away, her sword penetrated from the top of his head to his body in a straight line.

“Under…!”

I was stunned, speechless.

Fenrir looked at the aim in the sight dripping with blood.

Those eyes were still not looking at him.

That fact angered Fenrir.

“Uuuuu…!”

Feeling indescribable, Fenrir vomited tears to pour it out.

The cry was quelled by the blow that followed.

“…”

Jeong Jo-joon lowered his sword, looking beyond where nothing was left.

Two empty pupils, aiming straight ahead.

His appearance was far from beastly.
