#262
King of Madness (1)
A black figure of ordinary build and a white giant the size of a 15-story building.
Even the expression David and Goliath was insufficient.
In the first place, the difference in standards was such that the fight itself could not take place, so much so that anyone could not help but predict the giant’s superiority… but
if you actually see those two in this field, that opinion will naturally change.
Goooooh—
that’s right.
The black energy emanating from that small figure pushes away the giant’s force and covers the world.
Because I couldn’t help but think of that thought naturally.
That is overwhelming violence that the living cannot resist.
It is the death of the world itself.
‘Ah, this feels the best.’
The center of black energy spreading out in all directions.
Hans, who was sitting quietly in the middle of it all, raised his head, feeling satisfied with his power more than ever.
In fact, he had rarely fought satisfactorily since becoming a full-fledged immortal king.
At least the conflict with Beoncheonhoeju in Japan could be seen as a fight to the best of one’s ability, but at that time it was not an opportunity to exert one’s best efforts due to various restrictions.
Besides, most of the battle in Outerica was part of the scenario, and even when he was completely out of his mind, wasn’t there at least some reason left in him that he couldn’t kill Heinrich?
In fact, it was safe to say that Outerica never gave its all.
‘But it’s different now.’
The border between earth and the abyss.
A realm of chaos where everything is twisted and mixed up.
The revolutionary said that the power of his authority is maximized in this space.
It was the same for Hans.
Crunch-dud-
The violent momentum rushes forward without hesitation.
In the aftermath, the surrounding space was distorted and death mixed with the abyss thrust its teeth in all directions.
It mercilessly bit into the place where the giant was.
“Pukkkkkk! Ah—yes, this is how you become an immortal king! A being destined for the end of the world must possess the arrogance commensurate with its power!”
However, even in the face of this overwhelming display of power, the giant did not faint in the slightest.
He gave off a dark red energy and shook off death with a twisted smile.
And then he took a step back and crouched down.
He immediately disappeared from the spot.
Kwaaaaaaaa!
Immediately after that, the space was distorted by the impact that occurred right in front of Hans.
Two different energies thrust sharp claws at each other.
[Hoo? That’s pretty good.]
“Keuheuu, it’s just the beginning!”
Quad deuk—!
The giant’s claws suddenly dug into the barrier surrounding Hans.
The dark red madness gathered at the five tips tore apart the black death, and at the same time, the other hand swung again.
Coooooo!
An explosion of alcohol that spreads out with a powerful shock wave.
With that single attack, the surrounding flow became entangled and a radius of hundreds of meters was turned upside down at once.
and.
Hans, who had been watching the scene from a long distance away, nodded.
I thought it was worth the price.
[Phew—Okay, this will be fun.]
But there was no particular sense of crisis.
I just think this is natural if you come from the same abyss.
If anything, I would have been more disappointed if he had performed poorly.
‘Of course…’
As you said, you must keep what you said, showing the difference in class.
Hans slowly spread his arms to the left and right, feeling his energy encroaching on all sides.
His heart, his origin, resonated with the abyss at the bottom of this world, leading to a reaction beyond usual.
As a result.
-Kiyaaa —!
-Quaaaah!
-Crumbling— Crumbling—
With a strange, haunting sound.
All the ‘deaths’ within the area where the energy spread began to react and occur at once.
Verb (??), participle (??), drowning (??), blast death (??), history (??), stampede (??), illness (??), starvation (??), etc.
All forms of death that exist in the world came out of space and appeared in the world, forming shapes.
Not an undead, a ghost, or a devil, but something abstract.
In the flood of the concept of death that has become reality.
[Then now—let’s decide together.]
The Immortal King, the king who rules over them, declared.
[Your death.]
The execution of a fool.
***
When the second door of the abyss opened and madness was drawn in.
Most of them did not come out completely due to the aftermath of incomplete summoning and spread throughout the world.
And only one fragment, the central core, penetrated into the body of the person who performed the ritual.
That was the seed of madness that became the basis of the revolutionary body.
“Pukikkakak! I expected it to a certain extent, but it turned out to be completely false. I don’t think this can work? “Fkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!”
Therefore, madness was perfectly suited to the purpose of causing chaos in the world, but its destructive power as a single entity was inevitably lacking.
To make up for it, they even used the giants of the abyss, but it seemed like they were far from enough against the Immortal King.
‘Insanity is somewhat inferior to death.’
Quaaang—
Black energy and dark red energy collided again, and the space in the area was broken.
But there is no income.
The revolutionary with a smile looked at the Immortal King, who was leisurely retreating with a black aura flowing out of him.
With his eyes, he was able to grasp the flow of energy coming from the opponent at a glance, with his ears, he could overhear hostile intentions, and with the words coming out of his mouth, he was able to manipulate some of the flow of space and turn it to his advantage… .
Kwaddeuk— roar!
At that time, something in the distorted shape that bit his left shoulder suddenly burned and turned into ashes.
With a part of his body bitten into that maw.
At the same time, his right side was cut open and torn off, and his left toes were crushed as if they had been crushed by something.
Those processes had been repeating continuously since before.
Even if you read the flow of an attack and avoid it, or if you overhear its intentions and respond.
The death that enveloped him everywhere and the phenomena derived from it approached him without his knowledge, bit his body, and disappeared.
It’s like a fate that cannot be avoided.
Of course, he didn’t stay still either.
With his madness, he raised his body’s abilities, boosted its regenerative power, and twisted the flow of the world, tearing space apart.
‘The problem is that it was all of no use. Ah—God! ‘Forgive me for the incompetence of this body!’
In addition, the body was only repaired once or twice, but even that had its limits in the midst of such a shower of attacks.
Even now, thanks to his power, I still maintain my senses.
If not for that, he would have already become a monster with only his instincts left due to the insanity brought to an unreasonable level.
To put it simply.
There were no more possibilities left for him.
Uuuung—
To make matters worse, the Immortal King’s attack did not simply end there.
Before he knew it, a great magic circle surrounded him.
Rumbling—!
All the strokes and shapes were made up of a dark abyss, and they activated, distorting the vast space of the area at once so that he could not escape.
As it has happened several times so far.
If this wasn’t a world of borders, it was an incredible fight that would have already resulted in a kingdom being established.
[It is indeed too strong.]
But even during that time, the giant did not fall.
Although it suffered some serious damage and became tattered, it could probably be recovered if given some time.
And when the situation reached that point, the revolutionary was able to find out some unexpected information.
“Puh-huh, is that what happened? Why has my sense of smell never returned?…”
A white giant flicking its tongue in the air and licking its lips.
A strange smile formed on his lips.
“You had that guy with you.”
I came to this realization after focusing on the sensations and touching my hands several times.
That there is a connection between him and the Immortal King.
It was a very deep connection, as if it was no ordinary relationship.
‘It would have been difficult if it weren’t for this space where power is strengthened. If I had a sense of smell, I would have known sooner. ah! Oh God!’
Anyway, I was glad I got the information in the end.
Now all that was left was to somehow get to the surface, retrieve the sense of smell, and completely open all the seals.
If you can do that, you will have the power to take on even the Immortal King…
Kwaaang—!
But his thoughts were quickly cut off by the ensuing torrent of energy.
[You can hear the head rolling from here.]
Whatever he found out, nothing changed the situation.
Unlike the giant’s body, which gradually lost its regenerative power and was completely destroyed, the Immortal King was still dominating space with a rogue spirit.
[It doesn’t matter what trick you do.]
A huge energy moved and once again weaved the mystery of destruction.
Meanwhile, the death spreading everywhere was still gnawing away at the giant’s body.
[Because you won’t be able to escape from me anyway and will die here.]
The corner of the giant’s mouth twitched at that declaration.
Escaping from this space and moving to the desired location was not possible in a short period of time.
There was no way the Immortal King would wait that time.
In the end, it meant that as long as the guy was in front of him, he couldn’t go to break the seal.
The battle resumed again, but
despite his appearance of maintaining composure, Hans’ thoughts were also complicated.
There was someone who was struck by the word ‘smell’ mentioned by a revolutionary.
‘Diana.’
A girl who had such a mysterious sense of smell that she could smell the scent of souls.
The ability was good, and I was curious about the origin of that ability, so I kept watching it…
‘Was it an ability related to revolutionaries? No, more accurately, it must be related to the imprisoned god.’
Although we are now stuck in the abyss, God is God.
There was no need to say how great that ability was.
‘Then I guess that’s the power I mentioned earlier. Does that guy have any senses other than smell? Then…’
The fight slowly reached its end.
Hans calmly organized the newly acquired information in his head as he pushed the giant to finish.
The moment I was optimistic that the situation would end soon.
?XXX is looking at you.?
An unexpected incident occurred that no one could have predicted.
Heart pounding –
As soon as the notification window appeared, a strong heartbeat echoed in the space.
It was only a one-time event, but it alone was destructive enough to distort the entire flow of the world.
Naturally, the death that was occupying all directions dispersed, and the magic circles that were being prepared also shattered.
[Huh? What is this…!]
It was an abnormal phenomenon, like a natural disaster.
Hans worked hard to gather his energy and hurriedly kept the giant in check to prevent him from doing anything foolish, but… Heart
pounding –
all the coordinates and phases around him were thrown into disarray by the continuous beating that made all his efforts worthless.
A strong wave that surrounds the abyss and seems as if it will sweep away even though the body is fixed in place.
Hans was able to naturally realize its source.
A place far below this world.
Among them, it was the heartbeat of someone sleeping deep underground in the abyss.
‘crazy…! Is it really possible to intervene like this?’
Even though this place is a border closer to the abyss than the ground, I never thought that a being who had been imprisoned for so many years could exert such influence!
It didn’t even end there.
Hans gritted his teeth as he felt his body slowly being dragged to the floor.
When he was barely holding on and struggling to find a way to overcome the situation.
“Alas—my Lord! Your will will be done!”
The revolutionary, who put his hands together and prayed as if he was filled with emotion, turned and headed somewhere.
[Where!]
Hans, trying to ignore the gravity on the floor, fired a sharply sharpened weapon of death at the guy again.
‘Rotten! What a crappy case this is!’
In the constantly twisting space, his attacks only passed by like illusions.
It was an added bonus that my body went down a notch due to overexertion.
“Puhuh—immortal king. You are a wanderer from a dimension who has flown in with no way to go. “You heretics who received His grace but went against His will.”
At that moment, Hans was hurriedly fixating his body and concentrating on escaping from that force.
The giant, who had already completed all preparations, turned his battered body to look at him.
“His will is with me. I guess you weren’t my death. “Squeak!”
After saying those words, the guy who twisted his face and let out a laugh that made phlegm boil, soon disappeared into a crack that squeezed through the flow of the world.
It was obvious where the guy was headed.
[Ugh, how dare this arrogant bastard…!]
Hans, who was hurriedly concentrating his mind to follow up, felt his body continue to be dragged and looked down nervously.
‘Damn it, I still have a lot to do, so bother!’
Even if I continue to stay here, my mental power will only be wasted in vain.
I didn’t have time to grab anything for no reason now that I was so busy moving around.
‘I’ll see you later too.’
Hans’ body was slowly sinking downward, as if being sucked into a swamp.
At some point, it disappeared as if it had been washed away.
***
Near the Iron Citadel, adjacent to the northern mountains on the northern border of the Tulk Kingdom.
Suddenly—
something unusual was happening there.
“uh? What is that?”
“Wait… is that really possible?”
“emergency! Emergency! Report to your superiors quickly!”
Although it was quite far from the fortress, a crack so large that the soldiers on top of the fortress wall could see it at a glance.
No, the problem did not simply end with cracks forming.
Jjojjajajajaja—!
The cracks are torn apart with a violent noise, as if the fabric is being torn from side to side.
Coo!
A huge giant with a pure white body emerged from within.
“Khehehe— Ah, I found it!”
The King of Madness took his first steps on earth.
