Chapter 488

end of delusion (4)

a fleeting moment.

A silence fell over my son, as if the entire world had stopped..

There was only one thought that came to the minds of the monks who were advancing towards Shengcheon Yun Street..

Coincidentally, the hearts of everyone present miraculously came together..

‘What is this??’

I couldn't understand it at first.

···no, no.

Actually, it wasn't that difficult to understand..

As a practitioner who trains chakra and cultivates imagery, it didn't make sense that I couldn't feel such clear mental waves..

Rather than saying I can't understand this···.

‘It would have been more appropriate to say ‘I can’t believe it.’.

‘I feel like I'm going to suffocate at any moment. What the hell is this···!’

An invisible storm of thoughts rose like a tidal wave from the center of the city and spread in all directions..

In front of it, which swallowed up the entire area in an instant, neither the resistance I had boasted nor my well-armed mental defense were of any use..

—stop.

It's just one word.

The forced will was engraved in my mind, and my fighting spirit, which had been heightened to its fullest, faded away like I was hit by cold water..

Instead of moving forward, I was so out of breath that I couldn't even take a single step..

There were some who tried to resist the coercive force in some way, but such attempts did not last long..

“Ha, ha... shit! Poetry, gaze···!”

“Ugh! Look this way! What on earth?!”

Rather, the situation of those with low status was better..

The only people who suddenly started to freak out and show strange reactions were strong people who were always confident in their abilities..

Those who dug into the thoughts for resistance had no choice but to face something head on at the end..

‘Something inexplicable that cannot be clearly defined, looking at this side subtly beyond the connection called 'communication'..

Even if one had no intention of causing harm, the enormous presence alone was enough to be intimidating..

Soldiers who are completely incapacitated and have lost their will to fight, regardless of their abilities.

So the war ended as quickly as it began..

“···amazing.”

A miracle accomplished with just a word.

Ramyu, who had seen the feat right next to him, looked up at Hoon with his eyes shining brightly..

‘This is absolute power... It is essential to make the world peaceful.···.’

‘Because she had opened the world's chakra, she was able to feel much more sensitively than others..

How much karma was contained in Hoon’s one word just now..

How much effort he put into building it up.

‘It felt as if it wasn't Hoon oppa alone, but more than ten people shouting at the same time..’

Of course, it would be a ridiculous illusion, but.

That may be proof that you are still lacking a lot..

She nodded firmly, determined to work harder in the future..

‘···I think it definitely stimulated me..’

Hoon glanced sideways at Ramu and folded his arms earnestly, not trying to show his satisfaction..

A blow that has enough impact to remind you of an astronomy practitioner..

As expected, it was a bit too much of a reward to bring in the mental power of other avatars..

“···Mr. Hoon? What the hell is this···.”

At that time, Lucette's voice was heard from behind, unable to hide her embarrassment..

When I looked back, I saw that she had been running in a hurry, with electric lights popping all over her body, and was looking at them with bewildered eyes..

“Could it be that you climbed the heavenly gate...? No, that can't be true. It's hard to believe that we've already reached the depths, but astronomy... But now this.”

She was talking gibberish as if in confusion, but closed her eyes and took a deep breath..

Of course, there was no way the Yun family could not recognize this powerful wave that started from their home base..

They had no choice but to observe the thoughts contained within and resign..

No matter how conservatively you look at it, its scale was completely impossible for anyone other than an astronomer..

‘No matter how much you lower your aggression, it's true. Such a wide range of mental waves that even deep practitioners cannot easily ignore.···.’

If the target had been yourself, would you have been able to overcome it completely?.

To be honest, even she wasn't sure..

“It's not yet astronomy. I just added a little bit of my abilities as a person from another world. Well, you can just think of it as a residual talent..”

“···Is that so?.”

Lucette accepted the answer with difficulty and smiled awkwardly..

If you think about it carefully, he had a record of turning many upper-level practitioners into ruin even without chakra, and even brought down deep-level practitioners not long after he was initiated..

Now, it might be surprising to be surprised by all these things..

“Oh, and I think we'll need some manpower... Is it okay??”

“Because of the cleaning up here? Don't worry. Because this is also our Yoonga’s job. All departments are already responding with all their might..”

“Of course, that also happens···.”

Hoon trailed off and looked into the distance..

Anyway, Yunga will find out soon, but since this has come to an end, I thought it would be better to say it now..

“I think that's not enough..”

And as soon as the words are over.

Cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuure—!

A loud noise started from far away and rang out loudly..

Lucette felt something unusual and her face hardened..

Then, without a chance to say anything, her body, engulfed in lightning, disappeared on the spot..

“···Geez, there's no need to overreact like that..”

“Wasn't it all over? We also need to help···?”

“Oh, it's okay. are you okay. It's not like war. That's just···.”

Hoon shrugged his shoulders in response to Ramyu’s worried question..

Then, while stroking his chin and thinking about what to say, he lightly clapped his hands and raised the corners of his mouth with a smirk..

“Yes, it's just that the cleaning company is disinfecting it. You can just trust this kind of thing and leave it to the experts..”

“······?”

She didn't understand what he was saying, so regardless of whether she tilted her head or not, he raised his head and looked at the sky..

“Anyway, the weather is nice for once. On days like these, it's perfect to have a picnic under the cool shade of a tree..”

A particularly clear and blue sky today.

Just like the future that unfolded before them, the high sky was extremely bright..

***

A shabby-looking man with a beard like a bandit was lying on the remains of a collapsed building, staring blankly at the sky beyond the gaping ceiling..

‘···Damn it, it's so damn sunny.’

How long has it been since I looked up at the sky like this?.

But that leisure didn't last long.

Because if I didn’t get up right away, I could end up lying down forever..

Becoming one with this land.

Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu—!

As soon as he instinctively escaped, a thick leg slammed into the spot where he was lying..

Although the form was clearly just a foot cloud, the consequences it caused were already beyond the ordinary..

Damn it—

Cracks in the ground spread like a spider web through the rising dust..

The building, which was barely holding on to the shaking and sinking ground, collapsed as if from an earthquake..

“Whoo, whoo... I will take care of myself. How did such a crazy monster come to haunt me?···.”

He spat out blood welling up from his throat—the magic practitioner ‘Human Butcher’ muttered softly as if he was at a loss..

The surrounding area was in chaos with collapsed buildings as if a major earthquake had already passed..

It was an instant.

The five deep-level practitioners and double-digit upper-level practitioners who participated in the Yunga expedition with him were unable to even properly resist and were reduced to blood clots..

Sensing a sense of crisis, he immediately threw himself back into the crack in space to escape.···.

The problem was that the giant who suddenly came in grabbed him and went against him through space, as if he had been waiting for that moment..

“Wow! The attack doesn't work···!”

“Human butcher! You damn bastard! What on earth did you bring?!”

“Wow!!”

What happened next was what it looks like now..

The hideout prepared to support this attack on Yunga was completely devastated..

by only one being.

“Kahahahahaha—! All these bugs were gathered here.!”

The muscles clearly exposed in a barbarian-like outfit wriggled dynamically..

With one light gesture, everything blocking his path was torn apart, and no attack could weaken his strong body..

Although the opponent could not feel chakra and had no weapons of any kind, the sense of intimidation was already far beyond that of any astronomical practitioner..

‘Damn it rotten. If it weren't for that damn mental wave, this wouldn't have happened..’

Being caught there and delaying return caused this irreversible disaster..

The situation had already worsened irreversibly..

The best thing you can do now is to run as fast as possible and get away from that moving disaster.···.

‘There's no way he'd let me go that easily..’

He glanced down at his toothless butcher knife and smiled bitterly..

“Hey friend! What are you doing here? There was a kindness in inviting me here, so let’s hang out again.!”

At that moment, a loud voice rang in my ears from a short distance away..

The human butcher reflexively swung the knife in his hand and decapitated the approaching opponent.···.

Kaga Gagak—!

That fatal blow, imbued with the deep chakra of murder and the middle layer chakra of slaughter, could not even pierce the skin of the neck and only caused small sparks to fly..

The infamous cursed magic sword is said to inflict fatal wounds upon contact with humans.!

‘···Hehe, just in case, this monster... It wasn't really human, right?.’

So, it was natural that the power of a killer specialized in killing ‘humans’ did not work properly..

Looking at the difference in power, even if it had worked, it would have been difficult to achieve meaningful results..

“Well, it makes people feel bad. It's a bad habit to put actions before words. I will take this opportunity to firmly correct that bad habit..”

A crackling sound came from Harley's stone-like fist.,

With him, speculation begins to burn like a flame..

What happened next was almost obvious..

“Let’s finish this quickly, friend. Even though I am like this, I am very busy. There's still so much to do.”

“Wow! Gagging, gagging!”

Harley shrugged, grabbing his neck with her large hands..

The noise of the battle that was noisy throughout the world had long since subsided..

Of course, it was natural since he was the only one standing on two legs..

‘As for the troops dispatched from Hongsan and Cheonghae, there is no reason to look upon magic practitioners who are only harmful..’

Unlike Hela, who is secretly versatile and can perform a variety of missions, all Harley can do is destroy everything..

In a way, it was only natural that he set out to exterminate pests..

‘Okay, so this matter is roughly over. All that's left is to contact Yoonga and clean up this hideout?.’

It is a base used as a hideout by magic practitioners known for being vicious..

We sorted them out, but we didn't know what else might be hidden, so investigation and cleanup were essential..

Of course, that doesn't mean I can't do that annoying thing myself..

In that sense, it was a very reasonable choice to pass this on to Yoonga, who was the party involved..

However, in order to do that, it is necessary to first convey the story to Yoonga.···.

“···Wow?”

Harley, who was continuing her thoughts, blinked her eyes blankly..

First of all, the situation was urgent, so I just passed the space without thinking about the rest.···.

‘Now that I think about it, where am I? How am I doing??’

No, going back itself is just a matter of using “Hero’s Footsteps.”.

The problem is that if you do that, it won't be appropriate to explain the location of this place..

He looked up at the sky endlessly and scratched the back of his head..

“Hahaha! Well, sometimes things like this happen when a man tries to achieve something big.!”

Harley burst into laughter.

Of course, there was still no solution..

Luckily he didn't have to do anything..

Lucette, who sensed something abnormal and moved to the source of the noise, checked the traces left there and immediately formed a tracking team..

Unlike previous raids, this was possible because recalculating spatial coordinates was not that difficult thanks to Harley completely destroying the arrival point..

Around this time, Harley, who had been eating nothing but eating like a carnivore after capturing General Juryeong, was acting in his own right..

Hella, who had been tracking the dark side before him, was also achieving significant results elsewhere..

***

An archipelago located in the south of the central continent of the Sabacheon, one of its many islands.

“Hahaha... This is ridiculous..”

A dark-skinned black man sat down, lowered his head, and let out a hollow laugh..

Dozens of black magic circles spread out in all directions and countless chains extending from them and wrapping around his body..

In the end, it was proof of reality that he was defeated..

‘Never thought I would end up like this.’

It was something that was unimaginable not long ago..

Whether it is General Yongseol of the Cheonghae Kingdom, General Juryeong of the Hongsan State, or even the Black King..

No matter who attacked me, I was confident that I would eventually overcome them and win..

“Wow, that's a really tricky ability. I almost missed it.”

In front of him, an alluring woman sitting with her legs crossed in the air placed one hand on her cheek and let out a small sigh..

Still, as if she didn't feel bad because she succeeded in catching it in the end, the wings folded behind her back were moving gently, subtly revealing her joy..

“The ability to freely change bodies through hosts. This is why it was so difficult to catch the reality..”

If they felt they could be caught, they would switch bodies, and if they wanted to catch them all, they would move to a distant host, so tracking them down was bound to take a long time..

If Hela hadn't been the Demon Lord, if she hadn't had any of the abilities to capture and track souls, as well as forcibly immobilize them.···.

They would still be continuing their sluggish chase..

‘Demon King, Demon King? Why does such a being exist in this world? Moreover, the secret chakra used is not chakra. Are you really from another world? The devil? What kind of bullshit is that?!’

But complaining now didn't change anything..

“Okay then.”

She uncrossed her legs in the air and slowly approached him..

A darkness that has been completely subdued and cannot move..

To the Unknown, the being who abandoned his name along with his original body..

“Let's have a more intimate conversation..”

An eerie light appeared in Hela's eyes as she grabbed his chin and met his gaze..
