Chapter 114: The Last Detonation (1)
Kang-jun and Rainkar caught up to Codikus quickly.
<i>Pahat.</i>
Rainkar blocked his path in an instant.
"Now, it is time to end this tiresome war, Codikus.”
Codikus nced back and saw Kang-jun holding his sword. Codikus red and said,
"Keuk! You made a decision today, but do you think I will submit obediently?”
Codikus rushed toward Rainkar.
<i>Kwaang!</i><i>Kwa kwa kwa kwang!</i><i>Kwarururung!</i>
The space around the two of them became distorted.
Kang-jun felt fearful as he watched the scene from afar.
He didn’t dare approach.
However, he watched the two shing people very closely.
At the same time, a line of blood appeared on Codikus’ back every time Kang-jun’s sword shed.
<i>Chwack!</i><i>Chwaack!</i>
"Kuaaak! How dare you!”
After pushing Rainkar back, Codikus rushed toward Kang-jun. He was furious about Kang-jun attacking his back.
<i>Kakang!</i><i>Kwaang!</i><i>Woorururu!</i><i>sh!</i>
He attacked wildly with mes and lightning, but Kang-jun calmly blocked them all.
He didn’t have to worry about counterattacking, just defending.
Rainkar would take care of striking from behind.
<i>Chwack!</i><i>Chwaack!</i>
This time Rainkar was the one to strike the open back while Kang-jun and Codikus were fighting.
"It is no use enduring any longer. Just give up, Codikus.”
Rainkar’s expression was very bright at the thought of ending this wretched war.
However, Codikus didn’t even blink.
“You ridiculous bastards!”
His body was restored in an instant.
<i>Hwal hwal hwal-</i>
His entire body was covered in red mes and his size increased by five times.
‘Berserk!’
Rainkar’s expression hardened. Codikus had given up preserving his health in order to kill them.
“Kyakyakyakyak!”
Numerous swords appeared from every direction.
The ming swords flew like birds towards Kang-jun and Rainkar.
At the same time, Codikus swung wildly.
<i>Kwaang!</i><i>Kwa kwa kwa kwang!</i>
Before, it had been a two-against-one duel, but the numerous swords that Codikus had summoned made it seem like Kang-jun and Rainkar were fighting many troops.
However, rays of light stretched out from Rainkar’s sword and scattered the ming swords one by one.
In the meantime, Kang-jun confronted Codikus.
<i>Kwaang!</i><i>Kukwakwang!</i><i>Hwaruru!</i><i>Kwajijijik!</i>
‘Ugh!’
Every time their swords collided, there was a massive explosion and shock wave. Their health continued to decline.
Codikus chuckled from a distance.
“Stupid boy! You weren’t my opponent from the very beginning!”
Codikus swung his sword ferociously and Kang-jun stumbled backwards.
His health also fell.
Health: 12013/25550
The moment that it dropped below 50%, the Stage 5 skill, Will of Attack, was triggered.
[Chaos power will be present in all your attacks.]
[Your damage has greatly increased.]
From then on, it was the real beginning. Kang-jun’s eyes shed.
As his health declined, Kang-jun’s movements became even faster. Additionally, his sword was infinitely powerful.
Berserk!
That’s right. Kang-jun’s Will of Attack was simr to Codikus’ berserk mode.
<i>Kwaang!</i><i>Kwa kwa kwang!</i><i>Chwack!</i><i>Chwack!</i>
Kang-jun’s sword swept across Codikus’ body like a storm and some of his body parts were torn apart.
"Kuaaak! You fool!”
Codikus trembled. In the meantime, Rainkar took care of all the summoned swords and rushed towards them.
“Stop!”
A huge sh of light covered Codikus’ body.
<i>Kaaaang!</i>
However, Codikus summoned a sword and blocked Rainkar’s sword.
He threw tworge red beads towards Kang-jun and Rainkar respectively.
<i>Kwaang!</i><i>Kwaang!</i>
“Ugh!”
"Shit!”
Kang-jun and Rainkar were blown far away by the huge explosion.
"ter!”
Codikus cried out.
Red mes rose and formed a big bird.
It was the mysterious red creature that Codikus had always rode on.
"Did you call, Lord?”
The voice of a gentle woman emerged from the bird’s mouth.
Codikus’s mouth twisted and he shouted,
"I order your final destruction. Destroy them with self-destruct.”
“......!”
The bird’s body trembled.
<i>Sususu.</i>
Then it turned into a woman surrounded by mes. The woman stared at Codikus with a disbelieving expression.
"A-are you serious? Why are you...?”
"Shut up and quickly execute themands, ter. You are my subordinate. Protect me with your death.”
ter, the woman of fire, trembled with a pained expression.
“Am I only worth this much to you? A consumable in a crisis..."
Codikus gave her a smile full of derision.
“Fire spirit queen, ter, I know you weren’t sincere when you submitted to me, anyway. So, don’t make it out like I betrayed you.”
"Shut up. You said you loved me...”
“Kyakyakyakyak! Believing something like that. You are really naive.”
"Then that was a lie?”
“Of course.”
"How can you lie like that?”
ter asked with a hurt expression. Codikus said cynically,
"You are really foolish. Are all spirits so stupid? I want to ask you one thing. Do you still think that the fire spirit n was destroyed by Aquana?”
"Then what?”
“Nonsense! Aquana had nothing to do with it.”
ter’s eyes widened.
“S-such a thing! Then who?”
"Who else is there? Think closely.”
“Y-you mean?”
“Kukuk! Have you just realized? It was able to drive an easy wedge between both of you. You gave me Aquana.”
“Ah! Such a ridiculous thing...”
"In that respect, Aquana is better than you. She never believed me and didn’t sumb even in the end. She didn’t even me you for being tricked although the water spirits were destroyed by you. Kukuk! Both of you are really stupid.”
“Ohh! How wicked! You are the devil.”
“The devil!”
There was a strange smile on Codikus’ face. He shrugged and looked at ter.
"Don’t you know? That is apliment for me.”
Calling him the devil was just like calling a person a human. Calling an evil person a devil was like praising a person for being a person.
“Fire spirit queen, ter, you are my subordinate. You can’t deny my words. Now, stop talking and go blow yourself up.”
“......!”
ter’s body trembled. It was an absolutemand. She couldn’t refuse. She moaned tearily and cried out,
“I will follow yourmand and get rid of them. Please... You are a terrible devil but please listen to my words.”
“Do your words mean anything when you are going to die anyway?”
"If you loved me even a little bit, please give me onest favour.”
“......”
Codikus’ face slightly distorted. Truth be told, he wouldn’t be willing to abandon ter if it wasn’t for the worst situation.
Of course, it wasn’t the same thing as love.
Those feelings haddn’t exist in him since the beginning.
He was just possessive.
It was just like a precious thing was being thrown away.
It was ter who had wanted to keep him forever.
Therefore, he would have never free her from his household.
He shouted coldly,
“Kukuk! Stop being crazy and carry out my orders. I release you from my household, but you still have to follow myst order to your death!”
Then he used his authority as a lord in which any member of his household had to follow themand.
<i>Hwaruru!</i>
ter’s body was covered with mes.
Thest order automatically triggered her self-destruct ability.
‘Ah...’
ter had an expression of desperation on her face.
Now, regardless of her will, she would blow up.
She couldn’t stop even if she wanted to.
Even Codikus couldn’t stop it anymore.
"I... will oblige.”
ter nodded and flew towards Kang-jun and Rainkar.
Then for some reason, Codikus frowned.
‘It is the power of destruction. I have to get out before ter’s power triggers.’
This situation was unintentional but it didn’t matter now.
He looked at ter rushing towards Kang-jun and Rainkar with a mocking expression.
‘Keuk! It is as I wish. I have to get out before I am killed.’
She was already as good as dead, so there was no use in staying. The spirit rulers would cause mass annihtion at the moment of death.
He watched ter self-destruct near Kang-jun and Rainkar with anticipation.
<i>Chu chu chu chu. Hwarururuk!</i>
An explosion started immediately.
ter exhausted all her spiritual power to create a barrier that confined the explosion to a specific space, but there was no guarantee that Codikus wouldn’t be caught in that circle.
He wasn’t transcendent.
He would just die.
‘If they die, I will be able to gain Earth Hwanmong easily.’
However, the situation didn’t unfold like he wanted.
The moment that ter started exploding, Rainkar moved out of the radius of the barrier.
At the same time, Rainkar flew over to Codikus and said,
"I don’t know what you’re doing, but you must die today.”
“Ugh, dammit!”
Codikus wasn’t in a good state due to the aftereffects of berserk.
If he fought against Rainkar like this, he would be defeated.
‘I’m guess I won’t be able to get Earth Hwanmong right now. Rainkar! Just wait. I will surelye back and kill you.’
He immediately flew up and out of the dimension. Rainkar caught up immediately.
“Where are you going?”
<i>Chwack!</i><i>Chwack!</i>
Blood burst from Codikus’ body. Nevertheless, he fled without fighting back.
Rainkar’s expression hardened.
’Perhaps, this guy...?’
He knew that Codikus was about to abandon this Hwanmong.
So, he had to use this moment.
‘Does he think I will just let him go?’
He knew that Kang-jun was trapped in an unidentified situation.
It was a very frightening attack.
His subconscious had sent him a danger signal.
So, he got out in the blink of an eye but Kang-jun hadn’t.
Kang-jun was probably already dead.
‘Therefore, I can’t let him escape.’
Rainkar couldn’t just let Codikus go. He chased him to a remote corner of the dimension.
Codikus, who was escaping, suddenly stopped and looked at him.
“Kukuk! I should thank for you apanying me this far.”
“What are you saying?"
“Rainkar! Then I’ll see youter. At that time, I really will kill you.”
At the end of his words, Codikus was covered with a strange glow.
<i>Kwa kwa kwa kwa!</i>
Arge storm arrived at that very moment.
It was dimensional power and Rainkar was pushed back. Then his eyes widened in shock.
Codikus appeared on top of a giant stingray type monster.
’Anomaloria...! Isn’t that it?’
