    Chapter 143

    Episode 143

    It was a one-sided battle.

    Even though he did receive help from Seonghwa, it was still too one-sided.

    It was thanks to the predators.

    ‘It’s a truly amazing magic sword.’

    Chris fought by incapacitating his opponent with the Holy Sword Grunade and then finishing him off with the Predator.

    Since he could absorb the life force of his opponent, he didn’t have to worry about running out of strength, so Chris poured all his strength into it, moment by moment.

    So, the opposing knights were completely helpless and were being trampled unilaterally.

    ‘It goes especially well with the Emerald Tablet.’

    Normally, even a predator would not be able to absorb life force indefinitely.

    Because the life force that can be absorbed as a predator is proportional to the energy of the opponent.

    Even if you kill ordinary soldiers, it only restores a little bit of health.

    But now those knights are amplified by the Emerald Tablet.

    So, as a predator, you can absorb a huge amount of life force.

    It seems that the energy of the Emerald Tablet actually serves to give strength to Chris.

    ‘Well, there’s no need to feel guilty.’

    Others may not know, but the knights before my eyes are those who accepted the power despite knowing the terrible secret of the Emerald Tablet.

    It wasn’t worth sympathizing at all.

    “Monster, monster… Kyaaak!!”

    After the last knight fell, Chris let out a long breath.

    Now, as I was about to finally kill Miek, an unexpected sight unfolded.

    “This side is finished too.”

    Miek’s eyes were wide open and his throat was cut off.

    Evan’s victory!

    ‘… That guy Evan is truly a monster.’

    Chris shook his head with a tired expression.

    Miek had an aura of at least 6 stars, but he was defeated solely by swordsmanship.

    ‘I’ll become even stronger in the future since I’ve received the blessing of the Sword Saint. I can’t guarantee that I can defeat Evan with just pure swordsmanship.’

    Well, it’s a pleasure for the master to see his slaves get stronger.

    Meanwhile, as the situation cleared up, Evan and Olivia came to their senses and looked at Chris in disbelief.

    “You, what was that mana just now?”

    “I told you. I know how to use it because I’m a genius. Mana is something I just learned as a hobby, and I’m Mine. Of course, it’s a secret?”

    “…okay.”

    The two nodded their heads bewilderedly.

    “Can we go inside now?”

    “okay.”

    Now is the time to make the final decision.

    It was the moment when I turned my gaze to the mansion in the garden.

    Swish.

    Suddenly a creepy sensation passed through my soul.

    ‘…What is this?’

    It’s a faint feeling.

    But it didn’t feel wrong.

    Again a similar eerie feeling passed over me.

    This time, a little more clearly.

    “!!”

    Olivia and Evan seemed to feel similar feelings.

    “I feel like something unusual is going on inside.”

    “We should hurry and get in. Hurry up.”

    But then Chris said something unexpected.

    “…Both of you step back.”

    “what?”

    “Run out quickly!!”

    “!!”

    Chris swallowed hard.

    He feels this way.

    I knew full well what the strange eerieness was about.

    I couldn’t not know.

    Chris had an experience in the past where he felt exactly the same way.

    A terrible incident that took the lives of over a hundred thousand people during the Age of Destruction.

    ‘Oh my god, can you really do something this horrible? You’re crazy.’

    Chris gritted his teeth.

    “What are you doing? Hurry up and get out of here!! If you stay here, you’ll die!!”

    The eerie feeling was growing stronger.

    Now, even if I just stood still, my skin would tremble.

    Everyone had a gut feeling.

    A terrible disaster is coming.

    But Evan and Olivia didn’t back down.

    “Christian, and you?”

    “…I will stop the Pope.”

    “You’re stopping it? You’re doing it alone? What kind of nonsense are you talking about?”

    Olivia also stepped forward.

    “That’s right. Aren’t you my sworn enemy now? I can’t let you die alone.”

    “No, you can stop it. There is a way.”

    “What nonsense!”

    Evan lowered his voice.

    “…Are you planning to sacrifice yourself?”

    Olivia also bit her lip.

    The voice became agitated, as if there had been a misunderstanding.

    “That’s right! You want to be left alone? I absolutely cannot tolerate that. Stop showing off and run away together! If you’re a mine, act like a mine!”

    Meanwhile, Chris made a bewildered face at the two’s reactions.

    ‘That’s not the case at all?’

    Wanting to be left alone.

    I had no intention of making any sacrifices.

    “I think you’re mistaken.”

    Chris said in a crooked tone.

    “I told you to disappear because you would be a nuisance if you stayed.”

    “!!”

    “Didn’t I tell you? There’s a way. I’ll definitely solve this situation. So, stop worrying about useless things.”

    okay.

    Chris had a way.

    However, the aftermath could not be calculated.

    If you were unlucky, you could get caught in the aftermath and everyone around you could die.

    ‘They are all suckers who will have to work for me in the future. I can’t let anything go wrong.’

    They were his old colleagues, they were his younger brothers, and even if we put aside all personal feelings and think of them only from a public perspective, they are his precious supporters.

    Must be used for as long as possible.

    So I’m trying to protect it.

    ‘That feeling again.’

    Evan gritted his teeth.

    Evan has a deep mind.

    I couldn’t read his thoughts completely, but I could get a general idea.

    Now, Christian, despite his unfortunate face, was clearly concerned and caring for them.

    ‘Why is that guy always like this?’

    This isn’t the first time.

    From the first time we met until now, Christian has always been a person who cares for others.

    That guy was clearly a true sage, the likes of which even the most righteous swordsmanship school in the world had never seen.

    Olivia must have felt the same way, as she clenched her fist.

    The moment I was about to open my mouth to say something.

    “As the master, it’s an ‘order.’ Go.”

    “!!”

    Evan’s body suddenly froze.

    It is a manifestation of black magic based on kinship.

    ‘It’s impossible to do as I wish completely.’

    Still, Chris’s level of black magic had increased, and he was able to enforce simple commands for a short while.

    “Princess Olivia, you too. As a pledge, this is an order for your safety, so please get out of here quickly.”

    “!!”

    Of course, Olivia and Chris are not in a master-servant relationship, but black magic does not necessarily require a master-servant relationship to force the other party to act.

    As a pledge, I cast black magic under the pretext of protecting my opponent.

    fillet.

    The two bodies began to move forcibly.

    “profit…!!”

    “No!”

    As the two tried to resist the black magic, Chris blurted out.

    “Don’t even think about resisting. This is black magic connected to my mind, so if you resist forcefully, I will be badly hurt.”

    Inevitably, the two’s movements came to a halt.

    “Now, please wait a moment. There’s something I need to do before I leave.”

    “??”

    Olivia rushed over to Chris, grabbed his hands and pulled them toward her chest.

    To be exact, towards the heart.

    In that moment, Chris’s eyes widened as he realized what Olivia was trying to do.

    Paaaaat!!

    A brilliant light burst from the hand Olivia was holding and took over Chris’s body.

    “It’s [Guardian] power.”

    Chris’s face hardened.

    It was literally a power that protected the opponent with holy power.

    “…Isn’t this just a blessing? Why are you giving me [the blessing of the heart]?”

    While the general [Protection] ability simply increases defense, [Protection of the Heart] is an ability of a different level.

    Not only does it provide overwhelming defensive power that cannot be compared to regular protection, it also allows you to recover from any injury.

    It was the ultimate blessing among the powers that Olivia could unleash, literally granting an extra life.

    However, this protection also has a big penalty for Olivia.

    It’s okay as long as Gaho can hold out.

    However, if the protection is broken due to an impact that exceeds its limits, a backlash will occur against Olivia who deployed the protection.

    It would be a huge blow to the heart, and in the worst case scenario, Olivia could die along with it.

    The reason why the name of the power is the protection of the ‘heart’.

    “You said you could do it? Since you said you were cool, I believe you won’t die. Anyway, if you die and the protection doesn’t break, I won’t suffer much damage.”

    Chris nodded.

    Of course, I had no intention of dying.

    As I was turning around and stepping inside, Evan spoke heavily.

    “Don’t die.”

    Chris said with a chuckle.

    “Okay, stop whining and get out of here. As far away from me as you can. That’s an order.”

    The dark magical command forced the two to act again, and soon the two disappeared from sight.

    Chris let out a long sigh as he felt the two of them moving away along with Jupien who was outside.

    His face gradually hardened as he headed toward the mansion.

    awe?

    no.

    Because we’ve already prepared a plan.

    There was another reason why he looked so determined.

    Squeak.

    The door opened.

    An interior completely different from that of a typical mansion was revealed.

    There was no room at all, let alone furniture.

    Although it was indoors, it was a wide, colorless space without any decoration.

    There was a figure standing inside.

    Chris’s eyes sank with infinite coldness.

    A man surrounded by sublime light.

    Pope Pentagel III.

    I finally met my father from my previous life.

    * * *

    “…….”

    Surprisingly, I didn’t feel angry.

    My heart just sank endlessly.

    ‘Disgusting.’

    The Pope was surrounded by bright light.

    That appearance overlapped with the hypocritical appearance of the past.

    At that moment, the Pope looked back at Chris with an indifferent look.

    “Are you a prince from the Dark Magic? I should have been careful. A bug ruined the feast.”

    “…….”

    “But it doesn’t matter. It’s probably a good thing. Thanks to that, I was able to make a big decision.”

    The Pope’s eyes were filled with a black light.

    A horrifying sight, with the pupils completely engulfed in darkness without any whites left in them.

    Chris noticed that the ‘descent’ had already begun.

    A mysterious crystal floated before the Dharma King, emitting a brilliant light, and the strange eerieness he had felt outside ran up his spine once again.

    The Pope explained the purpose of what he was doing.

    “From today, I will be reborn as a great being. I will become one with the constellations that were sealed in this Emerald Tablet.”

    Yes, that’s right.

    The Emerald Tablet was not simply a relic that allowed one to manifest the power of the constellations.

    The seal that confines the constellation.

    To be exact, it was sealing the Tacheonseong (陀天星), which was a constellation but had fallen due to sin.

    ‘In the original history, the Pope broke the seal of the Emerald Tablet at the last moment and accepted the other nature into his body.’

    It was a terrible incident.

    Tacheonseong is virtually a being no different from the devil.

    In the end, the soul of the Dharma King was eaten by the other heavenly beings, and the Dharma Kingdom turned into hell due to the other heavenly beings’ rampage.

    The number of people who died in the disaster at the time exceeded one hundred thousand.

    It was also the first incident that began to crack the boundaries between Middle-earth, Gehenna, and Heaven.

    ‘The soul has already been completely tainted by the energy of the other world.’
