Chapter 173: Wung Chunglin (3)
Translation: Tay
Edit: Lesurous
The vestal saw .
The destruction of the world . The end…
Everything was dark . In the end, nothing remained .
Humanity had already been exterminated and what happened afterwards could be compared to the Big Bang that began creation .
No one wanted such a future .
However, the vestal saw a small light in the darkness .
Yes, it was truly a small light .
However, the vestal was able to realize that the existence of the light was Muyoung .
The problem was that the light was very weak . It was brighter than any other, but compared to the darkness that had come for the world, it was the light of a firefly .
‘The light is wandering . ’
Muyoung didn’t know his own worth .
He only had a vague idea about it . .
That shouldn’t be . More than anything, the light that illuminated the world had to be straightforward .
The vestal saw all the past events .
And the shadow snuck a look at all the vestal’s recollections and visions .
There it learned about Muyoung and also his related facts .
‘That fellow isn’t like my disciples, Vestal . ’
The shadow rose up to the ceiling and looked down at the altar .
The vestal was on her knees praying continuously .
Bastard . Muyoung wasn’t the shadow’s disciple or anything of the sort .
But then again, the shadow was someone that didn’t exist .
He was a being that stayed behind someone’s back and moved based on their ambition .
Furthermore… as the vestal saw, Muyoung was shining .
Shadows didn’t shine .
‘Didn’t you silently wish for me to do this? I also felt this in your memories and in your heart . ’
The vestal denied it, but the shadow knew .
That the vestal hoped that the shadow would become a trial itself and force Muyoung to ‘choose’ .
She had tried to contact the shadow for that one purpose in the first place!
She was hoping… ‘ he would be the ‘catalyst’ so that the light can proceed in the right direction . ’
In other words, the shadow was an essential obstacle for Muyoung to surpass .
However, the shadow had no intention of making Muyoung into the sun .
‘Muyoung, you are the light, but you have the disposition of a shadow like me . ’
Rather, like himself, he wanted Muyoung to become a deeper shadow .
So first, he took care of it himself .
He sent other shadows to people who were associated with Muyoung .
The vestal had seen the future, but she didn’t know everything .
She didn’t know that Muyoung had the qualities for becoming an even deeper darkness than the shadow himself .
No, perhaps she was pretending not to know .
Furthermore, the vestal said that the shadow would lose .
However, the shadow had no intention of engaging in even a simple armed fight in the first place .
This was a battle of whether Muyoung would become darkness or light .
If he became darkness, the shadow would be victorious and if he became light it would be the vestal’s victory .
And Muyoung’s victory?
Muyoung would be victorious either way .
Because he had no choice but to be victorious .
From the start, he had the qualities to become anything .
‘Amazing . ’
The shadow couldn’t remember being as emotional as this .
It seemed that perhaps the vestal’s memories and emotions had been assimilated when he peeked at them .
There he had seen Muyoung and found out more about him than Muyoung knew about himself .
Such as Muyoung’s real name and even what he did on Earth .
So the shadow was curious .
‘What would you do if you were confronted with the truth?’
Something he had never experienced before .
Even the shadow was extremely interested in the outcome that would arise .
Rumble rumble!
The cave shook .
Enormous giant statues moved and blocked Muyoung .
“Diabolos!”
“We offer you our bodies!”
The heretics used the ‘Self Sacrifice’ spell .
The bodies of the heretics melted and soon flowed into the giants .
They became the material that moved the giants .
The Self Sacrifice spell was a great magical spell that could only be used once b someone serving a god .
The god was able to amplify his ability to influence the world and create something close to a miraculous event .
About a hundred heretics gave their lives for the Self Sacrifice spell .
The five giants gained superhuman strength .
Kwang! Kwareureung!
A strong energy surrounded the giants .
They had fire, water, wind, earth and metal energy respectively .
‘Blink . ’
Muyoung travelled a short distance in a flash .
The ‘Blink’ ability on Isaac’s Boots .
Because he could move indefinitely if his destination was visible, it didn’t take much to avoid a large attack .
In a flash, Muyoung, who had moved behind one of the giants’ necks, brandished Anguish .
Crack!
The rock was split .
However, it regenerated in an instant .
This was because there was the strength of 20 lives sacrificed added to each giant .
“Tch . ”
Muyoung briefly clicked his tongue .
While coming this far he had already fought hundreds of monsters .
Fatigue was accumulating little by little .
“The enemy is alone! Assist the giants!”
The priests of darkness came out in droves .
Muyoung frowned .
If he confronted them head-on, even Muyoung would not survive .
Neiiiggghhhhh!
A horse’s leg was severed .
“Ramiella!”
Ramiella fell from her horse .
Seraphina instantly approached Ramiella while wielding a sword .
Ramiella’s First Knight had already become a corpse after being defeated .
Because of the shadow, he had died protecting Ramiella .
“Mulalan… cannot lose . ”
Ramiella kept repeating as her face went pale .
Mulalan was pride . The god they served was absolute .
They must never be defeated by evil .
However, the ‘evil’ before them had neutralized even the power of their god .
Rather, they had snorted and tried to absorb even that power .
They had never been so helpless . Mulalan was the icon of justice and all mankind .
“You have to retreat, Ramiella . ”
Seraphina persuaded Ramiella .
If they retreated now, it would be possible to at least protect the minimum number of people .
But Ramiella shook her head .
She put her hand on the ground, got up, and grabbed her bow again .
“There is no longer anywhere to retreat to . If we retreat here, their power will grow even stronger . ”
Ramiella seemed to have made up her mind .
However, it was hard to regain the momentum that had already been lost .
Everytime the bone dragon exhaled, thousands of priests melted .
The paladin’s shields and armor also melted easily .
‘My god…!’
Everyone called on their god .
Seraphina was the same .
However, they couldn’t win . Even so, she couldn’t go and leave Ramiella behind .
Seraphina raised her sword again .
And the moment she ran towards the shadows and the bone dragon…
Kwaaaaaang!
A huge typhoon formed in the sky .
Soon, a black sphere fell to the ground and swallowed everything up like a black hole .
A divine bolt of lightning struck the surroundings and burned up many of the undead .
‘What the hell?’
Something that happened suddenly .
Seraphina turned her head .
Soon, she could see two horses .
A hellhorse and a unicorn!
There were other undead joining them .
‘Undead attacking undead…’
It was a situation she was seeing for the first time, and Seraphina was dumbfounded .
In that situation, someone burst out from the ground .
“Please do not worry . We are servants of Muyoung-nim . ”
“…A lich!”
Seraphina took a step backwards .
A strong evil energy was flowing out of the man before her .
However, a similarly strong divine power could also be felt .
“We are Muyoung-nim’s servants . ”
The man said again .
Then Seraphina opened her eyes widely .
Gael was a fabricated alias . The angel’s name was Muyoung . Seraphina knew him .
“Please relax . ”
The man, Bae Sungmin, picked up his staff .
Kwang! Kwang! Kwang!
When he pointed the staff repeatedly, explosions occurred here and there around him .
When he used his other hand, the fallen people in the surroundings began to be healed .
The enemy undead couldn’t absorb Bae Sungmin’s divine powers .
Seeing that, Seraphina shuddered .
Up until now, she had half-disbelieved the prophecy .
‘The person with black wings will destroy the world . ’
One more thing had been added after that .
‘The one with the white wings will save the world with his servants . ’
Kwang!
The sword that tried to pierce his neck was stopped .
“You’re right on time . ”
Kim Taehwan opened his eyes, which had been closed .
A man made of bone and a vampire covered in a cloak were side by side .
It was precisely Tacan and Calla .
They stopped the shadow’s attack and began to talk to each other .
“Teleport?”
“I just imitated it . Without your magic it would have been difficult to travel this distance . ”
Tacan shrugged his shoulders .
He hadn’t been sure if it would work, but it seemed to have turned out well .
“You weren’t just stealing swordsmanship? There’s nothing like a thief, huh?”
“In any case, that bastard Muyoung made me and it seems he added even more skills . Anyway, you calling me a thief is not nice to hear . ”
Calla clicked his tongue .
Tacan could steal the majority of the skills he saw .
This was also true for the Teleport skill that Alexandro Quintart used .
On the other hand, there was no way to steal Muyoung’s acceleration or ability to read grains .
Tacan spoke shortly to Calla .
“Also, this is a secret . This is a trump card I’ve saved to beat that bastard . ”
The person he called a bastard was Muyoung .
Tacan’s goal had already become Muyoung .
“Do as you wish . However… he is an extremely sinister man . ”
Calla turned his head to look at the shadow .
The shadow had slipped into position and had finished preparing to attack .
When he used his Teleport skill to the place where Muyoung’s magic was the most strongly entangled, he arrived at the current situation .
Tacan secretly looked Kim Taehwan over .
“Let’s end this quickly . He’s going to die soon . ”
“If he dies, can’t I just take him and turn him into an undead?”
“Muyoung wants him to be alive . ”
“He does?”
Calla asked, as if caught by surprise .
Why did Muyoung, who used the dead, want with a living person?
Tacan shook his head .
“Muyoung wants the warmth . ”
That was the conclusion Tacan had come to .
They dug into the cave .
They ruthlessly cut down anyone in their way .
‘Should I help you?’
Luciferre, who was existing inside Muyoung, whispered .
This was the first time that Luciferre, who had been quiet up until now, made a proposal .
‘I will do it alone . ’
However, Muyoung shook his head .
Anguish became even bloodier .
Luciferre jeered .
It was foolish to go all the way to the end of this cave without his help .
Muyoung was also fully aware of that fact .
However, Muyoung would never give up .
When Muyoung finally reached the end of the cave, Luciferre had no choice but to stop jeering .
Diabolo’saltar .
At that place, there was a woman on her knees praying .
Black and white wings coexisting .
With his entire body covered in wounds, Muyoung looked at the scene .
“You’re finally here . ”
The vestal slowly rose from her prayer .
Her face was no different from Muyoung’s memory .
If there was a difference, it could be said that she looked a little bit more mature .
“Snow…”
The vestal smiled sadly .
“You have passed every trial . In the end, you chose the correct path . You saved your colleagues and didn’t refuse to come all this way . ”
“Are you saying you planned everything?”
“Please calm your anger . Everything was for your sake . Furthermore, you should know it . The future that will happen . ”
“The future…”
Muyoung laughed .
With this, he was certain .
She could see the future . Perhaps, she had also returned like Muyoung .
And she knew more than Muyoung did .
“The world had been destroyed . Because of the 72 Demon Gods and the false gods . In the Underworld, angels and true gods don’t exist . Isn’t it a fact that you knew all this and turned away? Even the divine power that the priests of Mulalan use is not the power of a true god either . ”
The vestal reached out her hands .
Soon, their surroundings changed and the future destruction of the world was displayed .
The whole universe disappeared . A world where all but utter darkness existed .
“I have seen it . You would have seen it to some extent as well . Because we had the same ‘dream’ . ”
“Dream?”
“Yes, like me, you only had a dream that was a little long . ”
Snow was thinking of the past that Muyoung had suffered as a ‘dream’ .
But Muyoung never dismissed it as a dream .
It was a torturous reality .
Even if he wanted to avoid it, he couldn’t .
But she called it a dream .
Muyoung thought of the Snow of the past .
Everything had been in a veil .
However, Snow had been Muyoung’s target for assassination .
Because of this, he’d watched Snow closer than anyone .
The Snow of the past had been extremely practical and devoted .
To the end, Snow had been the one moving to help even if it was for only one person .
As he came all this way, he kept having doubts .
“However, you too will know now . In the end, you can’t save everyone . No matter how much you try to, you have limits . If I help you, you will be able to burn with an even brighter light . ”
She, who had been so devoted to mankind, had reached out to evil .
She had dismissed the entire past she had suffered as a dream and was trying to create a completely different path .
He couldn’t save everyone?
Now that he was face to face with the vestal, he knew .
“You’re not really Snow . ”
Swoong!
Muyoung pulled out Anguish .
