novelWhat are you going to give me (5)
| ← Ch.234 | Ch.236 → |
Muyoung was also quite surprised.
Something was continuing to provoke Muyoung. It was trying to extort Muyoung's soul from a non-visible place.
This was the first time he experienced that.
If Muyoung's rank was a little bit lower, then he could have been in great danger.
'This is the first time I'm facing a shaman with his skills. '
The opponent wasn't a god and also didn't have a divinity.
He was merely a skilled shaman that reached the peak on his own.
Someone that climbed to the utmost peak to the point that he was able to create a fake Holy Relic.
That kind of skilled shaman was leading the dark elves.
Muyoung thought that it was highly probable that shaman is Dantalian or there was no way that a shaman this skilled could appear out of nowhere.
Muyoung looked at the entrance of the Great City. There was nothing in it but instead had a strong barrier set up. It should be the last fort guarding the city.
'It won't be easy. '
Compared to the other things, the barrier protecting the Great City wasn't a kind that could be removed in an instant.
He was an intelligent man.
It was because you needed at least three nights to remove this barrier no matter what kind of strong being came to destroy it.
But this barrier was also specifically designed for beings with a 'rank' to enter it easily.
"Wait here."
Removing the barrier took too much time.
"I will follow you."
Bae Sungmin followed Muyoung.
Muyoung didn't stop him. Someone at the level of Bae Sungmin wouldn't find it difficult to pass the barrier.
This barrier...was probably created with that purpose.
A tool to exterminate targets that entered the barrier like Muyoung with attacks swarming like bees.
Bzzt!
The scenery changed the moment they crossed the barrier.
The place was filled with tall buildings and huge stone statues. Also, completely armed dark elves were surrounding Muyoung and Bae Sungmin.
"How immense for a mere greeting."
But the dark elves couldn't approach easily.
Maybe because they remembered the annihilation in the mountains.
Or because they were looking at the six pair of wings at Muyoung's back.
But Muyoung didn't even look at the dark elves. There was only one person Muyoung was aiming for.
The goat masked man looking down at them from the tallest building!
"Take care of the trash."
"Yes."
Bae Sungmin raised his staff.
Flock!
Muyoung spread his wings. He wouldn't have been able to do this reckless challenge before he obtained a divinity.
But the current Muyoung had shed his skin several times.
He obtained power that was incomparable from the past and an unwavering mentality.
All the trials he faced until now, all the processes were to complete Muyoung's soul, his plate.
There was nothing that was unnecessary.
Muyoung was being completed little by little through that necessary processes.
'I am the boundary. '
Not a mortal nor immortal. Someone in the middle of that.
That's why he could see a broader aspect than everyone else. That's why he could take in all the changes.
Muyoung raised his head.
Woooooong!
He spread his wings.
The six pair of burning wings spread even more.
And...Muyoung jumped swiftly.
The goat masked man was standing there.
He could know the moment he saw him.
A faked divinity, faith, a chaotic being that had those things mixed.
"Who are you? How can you deny the power of god!"
It was certainly an impressive disguise. No, an impressive act.
An enthusiastic performance that even made him forget himself.
But he couldn't trick Muyoung's eyes.
The first one was Muldudun. He got tricked by Dantalian and lost his body.
After that he saw a few evil deeds committed by Dantalian. Everyone tricked by him had lost everything.
But Muyoung was different.
"Dantalian, stop acting."
He recognized that the being inside the shell was Dantalian.
If it wasn't him then Muyoung planned to exterminate all living beings in the surroundings to find him but fortunately it seemed like he wouldn't need to do that.
"What are you talking about! If you plan to make me confused you can give up as you are uninvited guests."
Did words not work?
Aazul had said. That he would appear when they killed him.
That Dantalian would appear if he took off the mask of flesh!
Shiing.
Muyoung pulled out Anguish.
If words didn't work, then he could only show him by actions.
Muyoung wasn't that generous of a person.
He was someone cold and could wear a thick mask based on his needs.
That truth didn't change even though he obtained the ability to 'symphatize' with others.
"Give the Mace of God to the infiltrator."
The goat masked man raised a dagger and stabbed his own neck.
Crush!
Blood flowed down like a fountain and that blood drew a magic circle in the floor.
That blood released divine power. It carried the same 'rank' as the Holy Relic and created a huge vibration in the surroundings.
'Sacrificial magic. '
Muyoung recognized what kind of magic was the magic the goat masked man was using.
That's right. Magic.
It was miles away from being a miracle.
He had merely squeezed out high purity magic and 'pretended' to contain 'divine power'.
"Who are you sending that prayer to?"
"To the god of dark elves!"
"Is that God Dantalian?"
Muyoung smirked.
Devils weren't venerable beings. The name of god didn't fit them as they didn't flow in the 'cycle'.
Everything in the world, all beings were inside that 'cycle'.
Not being in that cycle meant that that being was out of joint with the world.
Followed by that, a crimson red spear came out of the magic circle.
"There's nothing this spear can't pierce. It will pierce anyone even if the opponent is a God."
"Impressive."
Muyoung let out a simple exclamation.
The completion of the Holy Relic was quite good although it was created in a hurry. It seemed like it could at least become a trump card.
At the same time, horns sprouted from Muyoung's forehead.
Will he be able to stab Muyoung even in the slowed world?
It seemed like the goat masked man got a bit bewildered at Muyoung's sudden movement.
But Muyoung's sword reached his forehead even before he could react.
Slash!
It was a clean cut.
The forehead split open, and brain sputtered.
Close combat was the worst combination for a shaman. Not being able to get rid of Muyoung before he arrived at this place meant the same as defeat.
A determined defeat.
'Impressive. '
But it seems like the words of the man weren't wrong either. A spear had stabbed Muyoung's chest albeit it missed its objective.
The goat masked man wasn't the one to stab Muyoung directly.
'Space leap. '
The spear had that magic engraved in it.
It had leaped automatically aiming for Muyoung's spear but unfortunately the one that had executed the spell died before it reached Muyoung's heart.
In addition, Muyoung's body after having obtained the skin of the immortal was further strengthened. The spear only pierced half of his flesh and stopped.
Muyoung wouldn't have died even if the man was alive and kicking.
But it was plentily threatening.
Now, if only Dantalian comes out...
Thud!
The corpse of the man fell to the ground.
Muyoung's expression hardened.
'He's not Dantalian?'
There were no changes.
If Aazul's words were true, a change should have already happened the moment the body became a corpse.
Muyoung clearly felt the aura of a devil behind the goat mask. A scent so faint nobody would have been able to recognize if it wasn't for Muyoung.
But it wasn't the man. Then, just who?
Fshhhhh.
The corpse of the goat masked man turned to dust and got blown off.
After seeing that Muyoung could realize something.
'No, it just moved. '
Muyoung nodded.
The soul had moved to another body the moment the body died.
But it couldn't be far away from this place.
Muyoung looked below the tower.
Bae Sungmin had summoned his creatures and was contending with the dark elves.
He must be one of those dark elves.
But his scent got mixed. It got mixed with countless living beings so not even Muyoung was able to distinguish it.
Tch!
Muyoung could only click his tongue.
His objective was to take care of things the fastest possible.
And so Muyoung stroked his ring.
Should he kill everyone?
There was no need to do something that bothersome.
Among the barriers Muyoung possessed, he had one that maximized one's nature.
Reality marble, wilderness!
'Wilderness. '
He activated the reality marble in a huge scale.
He had overlapped another barrier on top of this huge city.
This was an accomplishment no one other than Muyoung would have been able to achieve easily.
Soon, all the big buildings disappeared, and the surroundings became a ruin.
Some became small, some became big, others got brighter and some of them even turned into stars.
But there was one among them that particularly caught your attention.
A black goat walking on two feet!
He was checking his surroundings as if he was bewildered.
As if he didn't know that he would get exposed.
At the same time, the fight also came to an end.
They were bewildered at the changes that occurred to each other and were checking their surroundings.
But the black goat was the most eyecatching among them.
"That is the appearance of the true 'God' you served."
Muyoung approached Dantalian with his wings spread.
"The god..."
"That is 'god's' appearance?"
The dark elves were dumbfounded.
It was expressed as a black goat but actually that was a 'stranger' creature.
It had three eyes, two mouths and half of its body was of a woman and the other half belonged to a man.
How could you not call that as strange?
And then the black goat, Dantalian, looked at Muyoung.
"So there was this method."
He showed interest.
A mid toned voice.
It seemed like not even he was expecting it.
Well, who could have thought that someone would be able to find a devil when he decided to hide himself?
It was possible because it was Muyoung. Others wouldn't have been able to find Dantalian's original appearance even after activating 'Wilderness'.
Dantalian said.
"You are... a really funny being. I feel like I saw your 'divinity' from somewhere, but it also has something I don't know. I'm sure that one half belongs to the degenerate angel Lucifer but what is the other half?"
As expected of the liar, he had eyes that could see through things.
No one had ever seen through the power of Luciferre until now.
He wasn't a demon god for nothing. Muyoung could only get nervous.
He had grasped half of Muyoung just by looking at him so if he relaxed then he would befall after getting everything grasped.
He would lose his body and even his soul.
"Do you want to know what it is?"
"Not so much."
He didn't get baited easily.
Dantalian didn't have the need to beg Muyoung for the truth.
It was because he was able to find what he wished with lies, that he did the best.
Muyoung wasn't planning to continue the conversation with him.
He would get what he wants quickly before he displays his skills at a prolonged time.
If he rejected, then he would take it by force.
The demon god of lies. If he was alone then Muyoung didn't have zero probabilities to win.
Muyoung extended Anguish and opened his mouth.
"Hand over all the 'conditions' you know to me."
Conditions.
The extinction condition of the demon gods. The necessary information to kill them!
What Muyoung knew was only the minimum. In the first place, he didn't even participate in the war between demon gods in his past life.
It was because the only thing Muyoung did was assassinated humans.
Dantalian looked at Muyoung with his three eyes. He wasn't displeased. He rather felt interested in Muyoung.
"Then, what are you going to give me?"
