Chapter 182
65. Asmodians of the Beginning (3)
Rhodiac, the apostle of madness.
Apostle of Horror Prison.
Duraus, the apostle of slaughter.
He had competed with all three Guardian Demon Kings before, but he was the only one who had no contact with Artia, the apostle of nightmares.
The only information that Cha Shin Hyeon knew was the fragmentary details he had heard from the demons and the battle between Elther and Artia, as if passing by. After all, the latter is really just a glance. He was also busy fighting with Duraus and the like.
So, you don’t know exactly what your opponent’s abilities are.
The only thing I could figure out was that the demon of nightmares had the power to manipulate corpses like a necromancer.
It was well known among the demons for directing a scene that looked like something out of a nightmare, in which a dead man jumped up and rushed at him… … .
“This is really not a gangsi.”
In fact, it was proven even in front of Cha Shin Hyeon.
“It’s in a strange state.”
The demon’s body was definitely dead. It was easy to tell that the heart was not beating. No, he had a hole in his chest, so his heart itself was shattered.
Yet it moves just fine. If I were to find the most similar being, it would be a gangsi, but I had never heard of a gangsi that spoke or spread life. There was an eerie feeling of embarrassment.
“Everyone used to say that the first time I saw it.”
The Demon God of Nightmare said with a dry voice.
“Your sister was grinding her teeth so I sent her first, but unfortunately, it seems that it wasn’t enough to expose your bottom.”
“younger sister? who?”
Cha Shin Hyeon’s eyes turned to the back of the nightmare. The figure of madness gripping the empty space tightly caught my eye.
“Maybe he?”
“I think I said that I met the dragon in the beginning. Didn’t he tell you that far?”
“Why do I need to know about your family relationships?”
I haven’t really heard of such a thing. But when I think about it, it seems that in the past, madness had come to the world of imagery, and after being beaten to dust, it seemed that ‘my brothers and sisters would not stand still’.
Well, it was also information I didn’t really need to know. It doesn’t matter whether the demons at the beginning are male or female or brothers and sisters. Information that is of no help in battle.
“If you do, you are sharing a drink with your brothers and sisters. Did she come out worse than her lovely little sister is going to die? That personality and the scene where she flirts with her brother is absolutely incomparable.”
“Kill it, you bastard!”
“… It’s not like that.”
The madness roared. The nightmare shook his head and spoke.
“At least in this case, they will cooperate with each other to kill you.”
“I don’t know how much puppet play with corpses would help. Isn’t her sister stronger?”
“How about? It’s up to you to decide.”
Unlike demons who normally burn roaringly, the nightmare responded calmly throughout.
No, rather than being calm, the personality itself feels dull and depressed. Possessing a dead body – I don’t know if this is true – but because he’s a guy, did he even die to express his emotions?
I knew from experience that these guys were outrageously more dangerous than the naked ones. In particular, you need to be more careful when you don’t know exactly what your true abilities are.For the search battle, Cha Shin Hyeon took a break from marriage for a while. The energy, which was not worth using it, circulated through his body once.
He must have noticed that his temperament had changed, but the Nightmare didn’t respond. He smiled a little and looked back.
“Keep your body cool.”
“Even if you don’t say it, you do it.”
After the grunts of madness, the nightmare moved on.
His new model, who had been trudging along, disappeared like a ghost at some point.
Paang!
The energy of the Black Death that wrapped around the nightmare’s hand burst into the air. Cha Shin Hyeon’s agility reacted and blocked the surprise that he did not know when he came back.
bang! Pavabak! Tatak!
The two fists clashed violently once, and as soon as they bounced off, countless Kwon Young (拳影) embroidered the air. Dozens of clashes occurred in an instant, shaking the space.
It seemed like it was going to be a battle of kwonbeop, but suddenly a bridge of nightmares swept the bottom. Immediately kicking the pillar-like shin, Cha Shin Hyeon immediately counterattacked.
Whoa! Puff Puck!
The nightmare’s attacks were colorful compared to the madness, which focused only on kwonbeop by focusing fear on both arms. He uses both kwonbeop and gakbeop, and sometimes actively uses shoulders and knees.
Contrary to his calm-looking personality, he had a wild and violent style that was much closer to fighting than madness, worse than a dog fight.
It was just there.
In terms of fighting style, it’s definitely normal to be more demanding than madness, but dealing with the nightmare was much easier for Cha Shin Hyeon.
‘… What are you decorating?’
In terms of strength, speed, and skill, there was no significant difference between madness and nightmare. Both are demons, and the physical specs of the strong demons are similar, so that’s not strange.
But crucially, the power the Nightmare deals with wasn’t terrifying.
Compared to the terrifying boots that burn and melt everything it touches, Black Death didn’t seem to have any special abilities. It’s constantly clashing with aggression, but it doesn’t show anything. It just looked like a black river.
Of course, moving a dead corpse was certainly surprising, but what difference does it make if you are fighting with a fresh body or a bluish corpse? To the extent that the latter is a bit more visually frightening?
‘Is the ability specialized for massacre of civilians?’
Thinking about it, I thought it might be. They call themselves demon gods, but their true identities are demons of the beginning. They are like the ancestors of demons who lived in the distant past, not some transcendent beings in myths. There is no guarantee that you will have the ability to specialize in one-on-ones.
A nightmare is nothing more than fearless madness, unless it is an ability that directly aids in one’s own battle. Considering the fact that Cha Shin Hyeon abandoned her public powers and used premarital powers because of condensed fear and not because of other factors.
‘He is an opponent who can achieve equal numbers just by his strength.’
If you use your preoccupation, it must be an opponent you can defeat more overwhelmingly than you can defeat madness!
Don’t procrastinate once you’ve decided.
If you have a secret number hidden, kill it before revealing it.
The moment she made up her mind, the power surrounding Cha Shin Hyeon’s body was converted into her pre-wedding power in one stroke. It was a change that was as natural and quick as the blink of an eye.
Whoops!
Cha Shin Hyeon’s body became more powerful as she accepted a higher level of power. The two fists of the nightmare, which had been engaged in a tight battle a while ago, were pushed out by force and bounced outward.
The nightmare’s eyes widened slightly at the sudden occurrence.
He hurriedly tried to correct his posture, but he didn’t have the same agility as the one who was preparing in advance and the one who wasn’t expecting it. The one who prepared was quicker and stronger.
Whoops!
Cha Shin Hyeon’s fist blew through the nightmare’s head.
It was literal, not rhetorical.
Concentrating all the destructive power on one point, the one hand didn’t stop at smashing the face of the nightmare, but smashed the head entirely.
Blood, flesh, bones, and brain water were mixed and scattered all at once. The body of the demon who had lost the top of her neck convulsed.
It was meant to kill you, but you wouldn’t have hit it this hard, right?
The moment when Cha Shin Hyeon’s forehead was wrinkled, which unintentionally produced a brutal scene.
Whoops!
A headless nightmare body suddenly rushed forward and hugged Cha Shin Hyeon.
“Ugh?!”
Cha Shin Hyeon, who is not swayed by emotions at all, was also terribly surprised this time. No matter how much experience he had in seeing blood, this was something he had never experienced before. Could there be!
Whether he became a strongman or a monster with excellent regenerative power, even that strong Duraus died quietly if he split his head. This time, of course, I was subconsciously thinking that it would be the case.
However, the demon’s body moved as if boasting that what was inside was a demon. And at the same speed as when you were alive.
Cha Shin Hyeon’s reaction was not prompt because it was close enough to fight and the unexpected happened.
After being caught for a short time without being able to avoid it, he immediately applied self-defense and removed the body of the nightmare.
Just aim for that momentary gap.
“die!”
Cha Shin Hyeon, who had been focusing all her fears on her intact arm, attacked Cha Shin Hyeon.
Aaaaaaaaah!
A condensed explosion at a localized point burned like a small sun. From the outside, it looked like a small sphere with a radius of less than 5 meters, but inside it was a super-heated hell full of fear.
shhh!
Moments later, a pale blue beam split the dark sun. Cha Shin Hyeon, who is protecting her whole body with her pretentious power, jumped out from the cracking flames.
“You crazy bastards!”
Cha Shin Hyeon clenched her teeth.
It was a self-destructive attack that included not only himself, but also the body of nightmares and madness himself within the attack range. He could not avoid it because he hit the attack at the right time, as if he had expected a nightmare.
Because he had to completely block his fear, the loss of his good spirit was too great. The flames that broke through the imperfect defense burned all over the body, but even the preoccupational power consumed to heal it was a waste.
“Aha, haha, hahaha!”
The madness, whose body was almost destroyed by being swept away by his own power, laughed like crazy. The only thing that hit Cha Shin Hyeon was that she was happy.
Her angry Cha Shin Hyeon’s will turned to her.
Whoops!
The heart sword, which had been turned into a sharp spear, was clamped in the neck of the madman.
Having already exhausted most of her strength, she couldn’t stop it. No, it would be more accurate to say that she had no will to stop.
When his strong body died, Madness lost the right to dwell in the underworld. Her deity had escaped and her body returned to her ordinary demonic spirit, unable to overcome the recoil that contained her divine power.
sususu-
The falling body disappeared as ashes before it even reached the ground.
Someone took the vacancy.
“… What is this?”Cha Shin Hyeon mumbled in an annoyed voice.
It was the same as before.
She had been wounded that she could not be alive, and a demon, apparently dead, appeared in front of Cha Shin Hyeon, draped in her black mist. Although his body was different, he must have been a demon of nightmares.
“My strength is a little different from other siblings.”
Nightmare said with a relaxed smile. The black mist surrounding him, the black sand swayed like medicine.
“Unless all my powers are gone, I will not die.”
“Hey, that’s annoying too.”
The corners of Cha Shin Hyeon’s lips twisted. said the nightmare with a grin.
“It seems that the sister’s last blow certainly had an effect. I can definitely feel your power drop.”
“I never thought that my brother would commit suicide whether he died or not.”
“It was promised from the beginning. The body that dwells for a while is safe to break, and even if I am swept away, I will not die.”
“Isn’t he not dead?”
Cha Shin Hyeon sarcastically.
“You say you’ll be immortal until the dark energy runs out, but you seem to have burned out quite a bit by your sister’s attack.”
It wasn’t just Cha Shin Hyeon’s pre-marital power. The power that burns everything has also scorched the Black Death of Nightmares. It did not burn out, so the resurrection was successful, but the power of the nightmare was greatly reduced.
Even without her good spirits, Cha Shin Hyeon can deal with nightmares with her agility. But the nightmare was weaker than before. The nightmare is weaker than Cha Shin Hyeon’s weakness. As a result, Cha Shin Hyeon is sarcastic about whether it was a team kill.
“You are right.”
Unexpectedly, the nightmare meekly admitted.
“Neither the power to summon the dead, nor the power to resurrect from the dead, mean much to someone stronger than me. To deal with you, I’m better than Black Death, so I’m no better than my sister. Now, I won’t be your opponent anymore.”
“You are surprisingly honest.”
“One thing, it doesn’t really matter.”
“… what?”
It’s not about giving up or giving up. Cha Shin Hyeon frowned at the unknown reaction.
“It would have been nice if my sister could have killed you alone, but we all knew it would be difficult. She is well aware that if the child’s strength is not enough, she shouldn’t add my strength. Even so, do you know why I had to go to the gods?”
The nightmare laughed.
“Because it takes a lot of time for your sister to even be strong. Because he is a picky person even when choosing a body to live in the underworld for a while. No, should I say that my body can’t stand it if I don’t pick it up like that?”
Cha Shin Hyeon’s shoulders trembled.
It wasn’t because of the nightmare’s words. It was a reflex reaction of the body.
The zen spirit energy, which had barely remained in her body, was leaking out through the untreated wounds. Little by little, but definitely.
“… … .”
Cha Shin Hyeon turned her body.
Someone from afar happily absorbed the premarital power that had been scattered by the wind. Like breathing the fresh air full of forest.
“Okay.”
The being covered in the demon’s body licked her lips with her tongue.
A blood cloud of the same color as Duraus’s, but much darker and ominous, rose.
