The Sub-Protagonist Is Retiring

75 – 072.Dungeon of Jealousy-5

Remember the meteorite collision.

An asteroid wandering through space crashes into the Earth.

While falling, the meteorite burns red as it passes through the atmosphere.

As a representative example, in another world, through the magic of ‘Meteor’, a similar phenomenon could be created, albeit on a smaller scale.

However, the meteorites created by Leviathan were heterogeneous.

The meteorite that should come down wrapped in fire is lightning, ice, water, wind, grass, etc.

It was wrapped in various elements.

A strange and difficult sight to accept.

Leviathan’s words about not trying to understand really touched me.

‘It’s definitely a power beyond common sense.’

Can you slash it with Prach?

I checked the possibility, but when I looked at the size of the meteorite, it seemed that I couldn’t handle the aftermath unless I made it into powder.

In the end, I had no choice but to choose the option of ‘avoiding’.

[The landing point and order of each meteorite are visualized so that you can easily avoid them.]

‘Oh! Thank you.’

Electric current flowed from the arm holding the prach into the eye.

Then, in my field of vision, the meteorite’s impact range was revealed according to the color of the element.

I had to move quickly from now on to avoid them all.

‘There is no space where you can avoid all meteorites.’

[The opponent calculated the drop point closely. It’s not something to be complacent about.]

‘Ugh, what kind of attack will come after the meteorite…….’

[Probably nothing worse than now.]

From the beginning, I was tongue-in-cheek at the extraordinary scale of the attack.

How many ridiculous things will happen after that?

I couldn’t expect it at all, so I laughed out loud.

Pajijik-! Quadduk-! With a splash-!

I heard a series of sounds that couldn’t have happened in a meteorite collision.

It felt strange, but the shock wave generated when it collided with the ground was the same as that of Meteor.

As I was pushed by the shock wave, my legs were wobbly as I struggled to keep my center of gravity.

“Oh, did you avoid all the meteorites?”

“Yeah, barely… !”

“Then, how about ‘5 times’ the current amount?”

“Oh, damn.”

Unfortunately, however, Leviathan’s tentacles ripped open even more space.

Innumerable lights burst out in the void, which was estimated to exceed twenty.

It wasn’t a bluff, it was real.

‘They said it couldn’t get any worse than this.’

[…] … Sorry. This body was stupid.]

A series of fires in a situation where even a single meteorite would be difficult to avoid with a human body.

In a situation where it was difficult to avoid, I couldn’t get caught up in Leviathan’s pace.

It doesn’t seem like the time to save a trump card.

“…… A fleeting world.”

Time stopped in all areas for 1 second.

The unknown power of Leviathan was also affected by Bern’s unique ability.

“Dig in at once… !”

With electric current wrapped around his feet, he spurred the ground and ran toward the Leviathan.

I felt the burning pain in my legs, but I endured it by biting my molars tightly.

All you have to do is endure the pain.

Because I have a regenerative power comparable to that of a troll.

I was certain that even if the whole leg was turned to ashes and scattered, it would sprout again.

“At some point… ?!”

“It’s my turn this time.”

Of course, there was not a single meteorite flying towards the place where Leviathan was.

Previously, the meteorite’s trajectory was subtle and inaccessible.

However, I was able to break into Leviathan’s arms thanks to making the absolute time with just one second.

“Huh… !”

He swung his arm holding Frach. The blade pierced the flesh of the tentacle, drawing a line slowly and surely.

Pushyaat-!

In the cut section, unknown bodily fluids spewed out like a fountain.

Leviathan’s sticky bodily fluid clung to the entire sword and began to push away the applied force.

[Aww! It’s disgusting, it’s disgusting… !]

“Because it’s splashing on my face too? Be patient first!”

In a situation as if we were fighting an alien creature, Prach and I all screamed in astonishment.

While frightened by the biologically unacceptable sight, he neatly cut off one of the Leviathan’s legs.

A second scream erupted at the sight of the severed parts jumping up and down even though they were cut in half.

It was fine when I saw it from a distance, but when I saw it up close, it was disgusting in many ways.

“Ugh… ! The sword is pretty sharp. I never thought you would cut off one of my legs at once.”

“So, why don’t we finish the test here?”

“Ha ha ha! No words… !!”

As if it was a waste to end it like this, Leviathan opened his eyes wide even while laughing loudly.

Madness began to form in her eyes, which were capturing my image in her.

“I can’t end it just by getting hit like this!”

The Leviathan stretched out her tentacles and pushed her into the void where it had spewed her meteor.

I feel anxious. I jumped up using Leviathan’s thick body as a stepping stone.

I released all the sword skills and magic I had prepared in advance.

The tentacles were cut, burned, crushed, frozen, and spewed out.

However, it couldn’t handle all the tentacles, which were countless.

“A good attempt, but a bit lacking.”

The unorganized tentacles pulled out their own weapons in the void.

Spears, axes, swords, hammers, scythes and even shields.

Like meteorites, they were weapons that had the power of various elements.

“Let’s start the banquet.”

“It happened….”

Leviathan’s tentacles began to move in perfect order.

The weapons held by the tentacles approached me one after another.

At first, an ax with electricity. The moment I stepped back to avoid the ax blade that was about to hit me straight down.

“Keugh… !”

Pajijik-!

My legs were tingling with the electric current spreading widely from the ground.

A situation where the legs were temporarily paralyzed.

Taking advantage of that gap, Leviathan swung a warhammer made of megaliths.

I swung my sword wide toward the sky, sending jet-black swords and cutting it off.

Before I could catch my breath, scythes and longswords pressed me from both sides at the same time.

I formed a magic circle on the left and right to block it with a steel wall, but…….

“It looks nice and in a straight line.”

A spear wrapped in flames was shot.

A situation that cannot be avoided on both sides by the wall I created.

Gathering the mana stored in the Dragon Heart, he created a huge iceberg in the sky.

It was the intention to hit the Leviathan with the spear.

However, Leviathan protected himself with a shield clad in light.

“How amazing. I thought there was another human being who could fight on an equal footing with me. It feels like watching the second coming of the first warrior.”

“Really? Am I that much?”

“Just kidding. The first hero was a madman who fought against all of our mortal sin demons, so I guess you’ve come a long way.”

“Doesn’t that sound like something I can reach?”

The first hero who is said to have dealt with the seven deadly demons all at once.

It was strong enough to make me question if it was the same person.

Junhyeok Kang in the final chapter can’t even go that far.

“Is that so? I became much stronger than when I fought the first hero. Even so, you are fighting on an equal footing with me now. Therefore, you can be proud that your possibilities are endless.”

“Then shouldn’t the fight end here?”

“That’s impossible.”

“I heard you saw my potential?”

“Apart from that, personally, I don’t want to end this fight just yet. Wouldn’t it be fun to have a little more bloody fight!”

Leviathan, who prioritized conversation over fighting, ironically hid his warlike nature.

A switch turns on when the battle begins?

I should have ended it with a conversation instead of being greedy.

Because the train that has already left never returns.

I squeezed the blade of Frach’s sword. The blood flowing from the palms stains Prach.

Originally, I have to use the opponent’s blood, but unless the opponent is a human, I have no choice but to substitute it with my own blood.

[I know that the Contractor’s regenerative power is exceptional, but don’t spill too much blood. This body, if possible, does not want to use your blood.]

“Yeah, okay.”

Blood magic that uses red blood as a medium instead of mana.

Prach’s red runes turned dark red and began to radiate a bloody aura.

At the same time, my vision turned red and my whole body became hot.

“Did you learn blood magic? Interesting, in the current situation, the meaning of using that magic is that you want to finish it quickly, right?”

“It is as you say.”

“Good. Then I will have to disclose the number of trumps.”

Leviathan drops all the weapons he is holding and gathers his tentacles together.

She thrust the tentacles together into a void hole that reached into the ceiling.

Then it spread its tentacles and began to open up a void.

“If you block or avoid even this, I will admit my defeat and follow you.”

I felt high-temperature energy inside the wide-open hole.

A large-scale magic that encompasses the entire space in terms of scale.

Since Leviathan was wearing darkness around her body, she must be thinking of completely erasing the option of avoiding it.

Light and darkness are opposite elements.

Anyway, it seemed to have the intention of pouring out energy made of light in the void and burning it all up with high heat.

‘Prach, is it possible?’

[No problem. Because your body has temporarily transcended its limits by blood magic.]

‘Then it’s fortunate.’

I gripped my sword tightly.

My goal is neither superheated rays nor Leviathan.

The space that comes into my field of vision completely cuts through itself.

The dark red aura that was wrapped around Prach raged.

It was created with high density by compressing the sharpened sword blade.

In the process, the blood vessels in the arm that was holding the sword protruded prominently and began to pour out blood.

“Since they seem to be almost ready, let’s compete…… !”

“… ….”

Leviathan kept her mouth shut and didn’t respond.

The other side might be putting all their nerves into the last shot.

“Uh… ?”

Contrary to my expectations, however, the huge hole above his head was suddenly shrinking.

At the same time, the high-temperature energy I felt just before disappeared.

What the hell is this all about?

Looking at Leviathan, all her pupils were unfocused.

Looking blankly at her empty space, her whole body trembled in fear.

It was a bizarre sight in which the Prime Devil was seized with fear.

“What? What’s wrong with you all of a sudden?”

“He, he gave an oracle… !”

“He?”

“He told you, he told you!”

Leviathan said she didn’t say anything for a while, but instead started showing signs of her anomaly.

Even though she was gritting her teeth, biting her foam or breathing irregularly.

She seemed to be holding on to the strings of her reason just barely, in agony like someone having a seizure.

“Who is he? What is an oracle?”

“Week, week, week, week… !”

“State?”

“A gas station… ….”

In the end, Leviathan growled and lost her mind.

But there was something she realized by the one word she squeezed out at the end of her life.

A gas station.

The main character of Adog Choi, Kang Jun-hyeok, is the cause of death on Earth, and a word that cannot exist in another world.

However, there is only one meaning that it was mentioned through the mouth of Leviathan.

The ‘him’ she said must be the god who summoned Kang Jun-hyeok to another world.

And maybe he’s the one who transformed me into Bern.

I’m still not clear on his identity, but I’ve decided to temporarily call him the ‘Lord of the Void’.
