9.
Ulan appeared out of nowhere.
He wasn't the only one who entered the battlefield.
Noah and Sven were also a little later than Ulan, but they properly joined the warriors..
then.
Awesome! kudeudeuk!
Lacus' body, which had been split in two, bizarrely clung to itself, and soon returned to its original state..
“this is amazing.”
The situation is very different from what was expected. Lacus frowned at the scenery created by a truly new accident..
“The abyss must have been wrapped around the curtain to prevent even a rat from escaping, but how did you know the situation here??”
I asked a question as if wondering, but the answer returned from Ulan was an angry counterattack..
puck! Quadduk!
A body torn apart again.
However, despite being fragmented into numerous fragments, Lacus continued to roll his eyes. Just like searching for the reason Ulan and Noah were able to join.
Then something caught my eye.
“your guy…….”
A young girl hiding behind Noah.
Immediately after discovering a girl who resembled Pertisia, Lacus realized the child's identity..
“is it. you are the culprit.”
Abyssal Spirit.
José, born and raised in the abyss, is a renegade who signed a contract with the Hero of the Stars. Lacus, who belatedly noticed this, crumpled his face like a demon..
In response, the spirit of the abyss hid behind Noah with a disgusted expression, and Noah explained to the warriors why he was able to come here..
“The spirit of the abyss has come?”
Laurea, who had heard everything, asked back with a surprised face. Noah nodded her wordlessly and Dillia glanced straight at Pertisha..
“What is it, even if you tip, I will do it?”
“that's right. You were surprised.”
“hehe, sorry If we do that, somehow that monster is going to target us first.…….”
Pertisia scratching her cheek cheekily.
Noah's support soon followed..
“that's right. It was a wise decision.”
This is the space created by Lacus.
All conversations exchanged here enter his eyes and ears through his family..
So, if the spirit of the abyss had been mentioned, Lacus would have prioritized the elimination of the warriors over the abyss door, and then Ibela and other warriors might have lost their lives as well..
Meanwhile at that time.
At the end of the conversation between Noah and the warriors, Lacus, who had been turned into hundreds of fragments, restored his body to its original state..
“Anyway, long time no see.”
After a while, he suddenly made a nostalgic expression while confronting Ulan..
“Probably the first time I've seen it in this life?”
“You don't have to be overjoyed. I'll send you back to the abyss soon.”
“Tsk, you're still hot-tempered.”
Lacus clicked his tongue at the murderous eyes. Even though the fragment of the incident he was so wary of was right in front of his nose, Lacus' appearance was full of composure..
“But your wish won't come true. No matter how much I became a Transcendentalist, Jim is also quite different from what you remember..”
“So where do you prove it?.”
As soon as Lacus finished speaking, Ulan growled low and kicked the ground..
The two collided in the blink of an eye, and no matter who said it first, they fired an onslaught at each other..
Quagga gaga go! Quaang!
The sight of the ground cracking and the battlefield shaking.
The battle between those who transcended humans and those who transcended monsters was truly beyond imagination. The other warriors did not even dare to intervene..
I couldn't help but watch.
“I'll just watch, I'll do it?”
“that's right. I don't have to help?”
“Of course I have to help. But it's Ulan's job to deal with Lakkus himself, and we have other jobs to do..”
Noah's eyes shone brightly..
Then Ian, who was facing the monsters from the front, asked as if he had guessed something..
“Are you looking for its source??”
“yes, that's correct.”
Lord of the Undead, Asteban.
Like Asteban, whom he faced earlier in the demon palace of the southern rain forest, Lacus hid his origin somewhere in space..
“The source must be nearby. Like Asteban, in order for the clone to function smoothly, the source must exist not far away..”
In the original work, Pertisia, Sven, and Ibella took on the role of finding the source of Lacus..
After Noah's explanation, the three warriors who were in charge of the search looked dazed..
“Uhm, it's already hard…….”
it will have to be.
Finding the source in such a vast place was like finding a needle in the sand..
But this time you don't have to worry.
“are you okay. Unlike Asteban, this time we know how to find the source..”
“yes? really?”
“Worth a try if you know how.”
Sven's complexion became much brighter following Perticia's wide-eyed eyes. Noah nodded his head and immediately moved his lips..
“Then I will explain the operation..”
The search plan was extremely simple..
First, it starts with Perticia using the spirits to explore the surrounding space. As soon as she explained what she had been through in her original story, Per Tisha asked back..
“Find a place where space is distorted?”
“Yes, there will be spaces that are so finely distorted that human senses cannot detect them. Please find it wherever you can.”
“Whoops, I get it. I'll try!”
After answering, Perticia immediately released the spirits to search the area. Then, following Noah's words, he set out to find the place where the space was distorted..
how long has it been like that?
As the list of suspicious candidates began to appear, Noah turned to Sven..
“Next, Sven's task is to select a space that smells like Lacus from among the candidates Perticia has found..”
Spirits can't smell.
On the other hand, Sven has a reputation for being a cat-human hunter, so he has a considerable ability to discern smells, sounds, and wavelengths in space..
“It's as simple as that. I'm sure you'll be able to find it right away because his smell is so strong you'll never forget it..”
Sven showing strong confidence.
But this didn't last long. It was because the number of candidates Perticia found had already exceeded double digits..
“……but this isn't too much?”
“so i'm not sure?”
“joy! I never said a word like that.”
But for a moment, at Noah's light provocation, Sven replied in a blunt tone, as if he had never complained before..
then.
“Phew, just finished. In all, it's about forty-nine places..”
Perticia's search mission is over..
As Sven was about to go straight into the sorting process, interrupters suddenly appeared..
【I don't know what kind of trick it is─.】
【Did you think I would just let it sit??】
Descendants of Lacus.
Plus monsters and worshipers of the abyss. Everyone ran after Sven..
But there was no need to worry. Right now, everyone except Ulan was by Sven's side..
“Holy Ghost!”
Starting with Ian, who chanted a divine spell, Laurea and Dillia joined the defense..
Ian, who cut down his followers who were aiming for Sven, shouted as he put his shield on the front line..
“leave them to me.”
For some reason, a secret answer.
Ibella asked in a worried tone..
“I'll be fine alone?”
“What are you thinking about? You left me earlier and ran away alone.”
“ahaha, that's…….”
“Haha, just kidding. Anyway, it's worth holding on, so please focus on your search..”
Ian let out a laugh and focused on the battle with the monsters again..
Dillia and Laurea also assisted him in the battle, and the search for Sven began only after all the hinders disappeared..
some time after that.
Sven returned from the battlefield.
In the process of screening, the whole body was covered with sweat, as if it had consumed considerable mental strength. Noah asked straight to the point.
“how was it?”
“……I figured it out this far.”
Sven answered weakly and spread three fingers. He pointed to the three spaces he finally selected and muttered in disdain..
“Sorry, but this is the limit. I wanted to narrow down the candidates more, but…….”
I don't feel the difference anymore.
The waves of the space, the smell, the flow of magical power, and everything else that made up the rest were similar to the same degree, so Sven lowered his head..
“are you okay.”
Ibela, on the other hand, didn't care..
It was a big enough thing to narrow down dozens of candidates to three..
Now it's her turn.
“'Cause I can stab everything.”
Thanks to the holy spell of healing that Laurea chanted earlier, her body has improved considerably..
After catching her breath, Ibella aimed at the three candidates Sven mentioned in turn and thrust out her sword..
‘First, from the nearest.’
An onslaught that pours like a flash.
However, the first attempt was a failure. He couldn't feel anything from the tip or the blade. Accordingly, Bella aimed for his second space..
Whoo! Parbabat!
The sword of foresight pierced space and space.
I wondered if it worked this time, but unfortunately I still couldn't feel it. Then there is only one thing left. Ibella's eyes shone resolutely..
But at that moment.
“……!?”
suddenly stiffened.
The arm that was trying to draw the sword didn't move as if someone had grabbed it, and he couldn't even breathe..
‘no way…….’
Did Lacus play a trick??
Suddenly, such a guess crossed my mind..
With him, Ibella glared at the last remaining candidate, her eyes bloodshot..
‘It was soon……!’
There is nothing you can do with the goal in front of you. This Bella made her body tremble.
But there was something she overlooked.
It was that there was someone who watched the whole situation from beginning to end..
“I found you, Ulan.!”
A shout on behalf of Ibella.
It was Noah's voice. She pointed the tip of Ybela's sword exactly in the direction she was aiming for, and at that moment Uhlan's momentum changed..
─────!
explosive expansion force.
Ulan revealed all the strength he had suppressed. Every space within sight, now this battlefield itself is now his domain..
Then there is only one thing to do.
As it has been so far, it is only to destroy the source of existence that proves the Lord of the Abyss itself..
The moment you put your decision into action.
Two axes tore through space.
Quagga gag gag! kwaaang!
The blow of transcendence far surpassed the sword of the detective, and the field turned into ruins. Lacus, as well as his followers and monsters, were caught in Uhlan's blow..
A haze of gray dust.
Then, a cloud of ashes flew into the air. Ian, who witnessed this scene, muttered in a trembling voice as if asking..
“Do it, is it bad?……?”
Noah said that all beings in the abyss turn to ashes when they meet their end..
Ulan, on the other hand, shook his hard face..
“no, not yet.”
Lacus's body. So Chartrand's body was definitely turned to ashes. But the mighty power I had faced earlier was still there..
Rather, it feels more violent.
When Ulan hardened his face, realizing that the situation was going badly, a shadow suddenly emerged from the place that had turned to ashes..
【That's right, it's as the side of the incident said..】
It quickly took shape and took on a look very familiar to Ulan and Noah..
Giant eyeballs floating in the air.
It was the true form of Lacus, the lord of the abyss..
He stared at Noah with a smile on his face, and asked an implicit question..
【Why do you think Jim didn't hide the source deeper? In his past life he tried so hard not to be seen..】
When I heard it, I was sure.
In my last life, it took me a week to find the source of Lacus..
‘whereas now…….’
I found the source in just ten minutes. No matter how careless you are, this is definitely strange.
When I kept thinking about the reason.
‘……wait for a sec.’
Suddenly, there was a speculation that passed through my mind..
If the opponent does not disappear even after the source is removed, there is only one reason. It is said that there is a separate real source that constitutes the present existence..
After organizing his thoughts for a while, Noah asked back to Lacus with a stiff face..
“Have you absorbed the source of the abyss??”
Conjectures born of doubts sprouted, which quickly blossomed into truth. Lacus' wide-open eyes were the proof..
【You are also a stranger. quick-witted.】
The emotion of ridicule blooming in your eyes.
After that, he smiled coldly. Then he nodded his eyes and affirmed Noah's words..
【Yes. Jim is already the abyss itself. It is immortal, without even the slightest weakness, that mortals cannot harm.!】
Loud laughter echoed across the battlefield..
A madman full of arrogance. Lacus, who was smiling happily, looked at the warriors again..
what kind of face do you have?
despair? fear? astonished? whatever was good.
Lacus was satisfied with being able to swallow all the warriors of the planet who were always in the position of predators in their repeated lives..
【─Eh?】
but something was a little strange.
It's because I found something completely unexpected in the expressions of the warriors..
Surprise, bewilderment, and even borderline might be expected, but the strange thing was that those feelings were directed to a different place, not Lacus..
【Guys, what are you looking at?─.】
Feeling doubtful, Lacus moved his eyeballs..
To see where the eyes of the warriors were headed. But for some reason, my body didn't move. The moment I felt a bigger question about this.
【────!?】
Lacus opened his eyes..
Because I realized why I couldn't look away.
It was because his body, his body, was gradually turned into ashes and scattered. The moment his eyes were shaken wildly at the completely unexpected sight.
【good job so far.】
I heard a familiar voice.
At the same time, Lacus' eyeballs fluctuated even more. This is because it was a voice that should never be heard again in the outside world..
【──■■?】
A language not of this world flowed from Lacus. Everyone, including Ulan, now knows what the word means..
Source of the Abyss.
The other side of the abyss itself and the true darkness behind the rulers. He emerged from beyond the Abyssal Gate.
‘……It's the same as I heard from Ulan.’
shape of countless hands.
It matches what Ulan said, who stepped into the abyss in pursuit of the Wraith Knights earlier..
Noah swallowed dry saliva as he felt unusual strength just by looking at it. Around that time, the cry of Lacus broke my thoughts..
【How did you come out? Jim must have absorbed all of ■■'s power.─.】
The source of the abyss responded dryly to Lacus, who shouted incomprehensibly..
【Like a stupid guy.】
【We are the shadows born with the stars in the beginning.】
【It's the world behind it.】
【But did you think that a mere lord of the abyss could swallow the world??】
The source of the abyss is the one who created the monarch.
There is no way that such a being would be swallowed up by a mere creature, a mere monarch..
【I hope you've been cheating on your burden─!】
Lacus, who noticed this belatedly, spat out rage. On the other hand, the source of the abyss objected as if he was talking about something..
【no we never cheated on you.】
【I was just silent to preserve my strength.】
【You're the one who misunderstood, Lacus..】
The source of the abyss murmured coldly..
As a signal, the countless hands he reached out wrapped around the crumbling Lacus..
【As long as the door to the abyss is open─.】
【I don't need a monarch anymore.】
【It's time to get your power back.】
At those words, Lacus let out a roar full of resentment. However, the sound he made did not reach Ulan's ears..
gulp!
With the sound of swallowing a chunk of meat down his throat, Lacus' existence itself disappeared..
some time after that.
When the hands that wrapped around him fell off, all that was left was ashes that had turned white..
Something happened with him.
saaaaa!
Lacus's followers were also turned into ashes and scattered, meeting the same fate as the master..
【nice to see you again.】
【Agent of the stranger and the stars. and─.】
【─Convenience of change.】
In the center of the battlefield where gray snow fell, the source of the abyss looked at the warriors. Then, in a voice filled with joy, he whispered.
【The time has come to end everything.】
【finally this time─.】
【Say an end to the world.】
The moment his words scattered into the air.
From beyond the door of the abyss, a near-infinite hand stretched out. Soon countless palms poured down as if to attack the Ulan party..
