Chapter 279
“I don’t think I will lose . ”
With a whipping sound, Muyoung dodged in between the blades . However, he could not avoid them all . He stretched his wings and held the lance of Gabriel .
Muyoung had separated Lucifer and Gabriel’s powers . As he swung his lance, the heightened wind pressure pushed the closest blades away from him .
2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64… 128!
He accelerated sequentially rather than all at once . Muyoung’s speed increased exponentially, and when he accelerated 128 times, he could escape from the blade storm .
However, Amon was the master of magic . He had already implemented his next move the moment he felt something was wrong .
‘Vapor explosion . ’
Countless waterdrops filled the air . Amon added his magic to the tiny particles of water that could not be seen by the eye, magically separating the oxygen and hydrogen to make explosives .
Muyoung was at a disadvantage because no matter how fast he accelerated, there were no gaps in the explosive fog .
‘I’m doing it anyway . ’
He could retreat . However, Muyoung pushed through . Acceleration was not a skill that could be used for long . Moreover, he had to finish this battle with Amon as quickly as possible . Muyoung’s goal was to reach him .
He just needed to touch him to take the next step .
With a whirring noise, the waterdrops began to spin . While they looked like slow motion to Muyoung, the problem was that there was no gap in the coverage . Muyoung covered himself with his wings and flew across the air .
With blasting noises, explosions followed Muyoung everywhere . Muyoung’s black wings became tattered . If it was a normal wound, Muyoung could it heal with ‘holy blessing,’ but Amon’s magic was strange . It adhered to Muyoung’s body to block regeneration or healing .
‘He attacked my weakest points . ’
Muyoung could not expect constant regeneration like when he was attacked by the Crimson Balrog . However, Amon was nearby .
Amon sensed that Muyoung was coming at lightning speed . He made his next move in a flash .
Crunch!
Muyoung twisted his leg as an ice lance had pierced it . While pain rolled into him, Muyoung did not try to remove the lance . He shrunk the space between them again to approach Amon .
Muyoung grabbed Amon’s shoulders and cancelled his acceleration . It was not for attack .
“It will open to those who knock . ”
It was Ars Nova, the book containing the Language of Miracles .
Amon’s eyes shook when he heard the prayer .
“How do you know that prayer…?”
No one believed that the self-named ‘archangel’ had the Ars Nova . Amon did not believe it, but now he knew it was true .
Did Ars Nova also lift the geis from Enroth? Amon tried to resist, but Muyoung was a step faster .
Shirrr!
Light flooded from Muyoung’s eyes and connected with Amon’s . This prayer performed the miracle of opening someone’s ‘soul . ’ Even though it mercilessly drained him, Muyoung braced himself .
‘I see it . ’
Muyoung saw Amon’s soul . They were now connected as Muyoung opened the door . Muyoung then entered the real ‘battle’ .
‘Art of Death . ’
It was not to make Amon an undead, which was impossible in the first place . No one with ‘Divinity’, could become undead . Since an undead is an incomplete being, it is incompatible with a Divine Being who aims for perfection .
So why was this a fight? It had to do with Amon’s ‘annihilation condition . ’
‘Amon has to be involved in a phenomenon he cannot understand . ’
Amon is the master of magic and has perfect confidence in himself . Therefore, he tries to understand and solve everything . This is how he earned the title Master of Magic .
Ars Nova?
While it was called the miraculous prayer, it was still an extension of magic . Amon could understand this phenomenon . However, if Amon was ruled even for a moment by the power Muyoung wielded?
Amon would be truly connected with Muyoung at that moment and would taste the chaos in Muyoung . He would not be able to understand at all who Muyoung is, and how Muyoung ruled over him!
<The ‘Art of Death’ infiltrates the Demon God ‘Amon . ’>
<Amon does not become undead . >
<However, ‘Art of Death’ is a ruling force . It infiltrates ‘Amon’ even faster . >
<Demon God ‘Amon’ is aggressively resisting . >
It only needed to work for a moment, for less than one-tenth of a second . Muyoung had to rule over Amon for that time . It was Muyoung’s last desperate gamble made with his final Trump card, the spell of Ars Nova, and the only hope he had in this inescapable situation .
It was a battle of wills, and Muyoung began to shed bloody tears . Blood flowed from every oriface he had . Muyoung’s soul was much weaker than a Demon God’s soul, and Amon as a Seeker had a much firm soul than other Demon Gods .
‘Is it impossible?’
Muyoung was losing the battle of wills, and he clenched his teeth . He could not step back . Souls were striking against each other dangerously, and Muyoung’s soul might disintegrate under the onslaught .
However, at that moment, where their souls are almost intermingled, Amon’s expression changed .
“You…time…!”
Amon seemed astonished, even more than he did when Muyoung used Ars Nova . However, this change made a crack, and Muyoung’s soul rose up to win within the time necessary for a single heartbeat .
<You succeeded in ruling Demon God ‘Amon’>
<However, you are not in complete control over him . >
<Effective for seven seconds . >
Amon was under Muyoung’s control for seven seconds . His eyes clouded for a moment .
‘I did it . ’
Muyoung rushed to the next step . Seven seconds were more than the time he had expected . It was enough to carve an absolute mandate on his soul, although Muyoung could not use a Command Amon would resist instinctively .
“Only act for yourself . ”
Muyoung’s words implied that Amon was the master of magic, who analyzed and solved all . If things were normal, he would never follow anyone, fear anyone, and would walk for only his own good .
Only act for yourself .
Muyoung had removed the bolt that locked what Amon had unconsciously wanted, so it would be enough .
