C1004
"Urgh..."
Despite having his neck severed by the Heavenly Sword and the Wooden Ring Sword, and his heart burst, the Fallen groaned and moved his golden eyes. Not only was he refusing to die, but he was attempting to reattach his severed head and neck, and rebuild the shattered pieces of his heart to return to his original form.
"Insane..."
Raon exhaled sharply as he watched the Fallen begin his ultra-regeneration.
'Is he regenerating even in this state?'
-He's tougher than a troll. Reminds me of the Parmas tribe. (E/N: I have no idea what that is)
Wrath grimaced in disgust.
'I need to finish this once and for all.'
Just as Raon was about to cleave the Fallen's head with the Heavenly Sword imbued with the fire of the Ten Thousand Flames Cultivation, his body was pushed back. Even in this state, the bastard was trying to repel him using transcendent will.
"Worm!"
Evelyn frowned in disgust as she formed a magic circle with her mana-imbued hands.
"No, worms are cuter than you!"
As she finished chanting her spell, the Fallen's recovering neck and heart hardened like plaster.
"Mer-Merlin..."
"Die already."
As Evelyn extended her mana-concentrated finger, the Fallen's regenerating body seemed to lose strength and began to fall to the ground.
"Explode."
Not satisfied with simply stopping the Fallen's regeneration, Evelyn unleashed a barrage of high-level fire magic. Massive fireballs like meteorites rained down, setting the Fallen's head and body ablaze. However, he used magic and spells to defend himself, preventing his body from being completely destroyed.
"Raon!"
"I know!"
Before Evelyn finished calling him, Raon had already advanced towards the Fallen, swinging the Heavenly Sword. Ten Thousand Flames Cultivation. Flame Dragon Strike. A fire dragon emerged from the tip of the silver blade, devouring the Fallen's head and body, which were covered in magic and spells. The magic and spells trapped in the fire dragon's mouth were shattered.
Evelyn, as if she had been waiting for this moment, re-employed high-level magic to completely destroy the Fallen's exposed body. The Flame Dragon Strike and Evelyn's magic finally incinerated the Fallen's body, leaving not a single speck of dust.
Looking at the ground that had exploded into darkness like an abyss, it seemed as if not only his body, but also his soul, had been reduced to ashes.
"Haa..."
Evelyn collapsed on the spot without even wiping the cold sweat from her forehead.
"Repulsively persistent."
She nodded, saying it was finally over.
"Are you alright?"
Raon approached Evelyn as he sheathed the Heavenly Sword and the Wooden Ring Sword.
"Are you worried about me? I'm so happy!"
Evelyn smiled brightly, saying she was glad to receive his concern.
"Ugh..."
Raon frowned as he looked at Evelyn. Hearing that strange tone, it felt as if Merlin had finally returned.
-She's truly crazy. Pitiful, but she's still crazy.
Wrath shook his head, saying that even though he had seen Evelyn's past, he couldn't excuse her madness.
'That's true.'
Just as Raon nodded with a smile, it happened.
"Ah..."
Merlin let out a weak moan and collapsed, leaning to the right.
"Evelyn!"
Raon rushed towards Evelyn and caught her.
"I guess I overdid it a bit."
Evelyn wiped the blood from her mouth and smiled slightly.
"To be honest, interpreting magic circles isn't easy."
She shook her head, saying the Fallen's magic circles were extremely complex and confusing, requiring a lot of mental effort.
"If I hadn't awakened and been able to read the flow of light and darkness magic, it would have been dangerous."
Evelyn let out a long sigh, saying she had barely been able to read the Fallen's magic thanks to her transcendence.
"I'm sure it was."
Raon nodded as he wiped the sweat from Evelyn's forehead.
'It must have been tiring to the point of death.'
Although Evelyn had awakened and become stronger, she was no match for the Fallen. She was outmatched in magic, mana, and experience in every aspect. But she had overcome those disadvantages to interpret and break the Fallen's magic, so her mind must be burning like it's on fire right now.
"Ha..."
Larian looked down at Raon and Evelyn with a hollow laugh.
"Did you really manage it?"
She shook her head in disbelief. However, as if she didn't quite believe in the Fallen's death, she looked around.
"Rest for a moment."
Raon gestured with his hand to Evelyn before standing up.
"We need to deal with the ones who are left."
He took the Heavenly Sword again as he looked at the Eden Phantoms the Fallen had brought.
'It shouldn't be too difficult.'
Among the Eden executives, there were Grand Masters and Masters, but they weren't a big threat to his current self. The masked phantom who seemed to be a Transcendent was being easily blocked by Larian, so it seemed like he could clean things up quickly.
"I'll be back soon..."
“Leave the cleanup to that old lady.”
Evelyn grabbed the edge of Raon's sleeve with her fingertips.
"Carry me on your back."
She pouted her lips, saying she couldn't get up.
"Huh?"
Raon blinked in disbelief as he looked at Evelyn, who was slumping her shoulders.
"I said, carry me. I can't get up."
Evelyn extended her arms, urging him to carry her quickly.
"Stop talking nonsense! Clean up those things before they escape! And..."
Larian frowned as she inserted a dagger between Raon and Evelyn.
“I'm not old!”
She showed her white teeth to Evelyn.
"Haa..."
Raon shook his head with a sigh.
"I'll carry you if you still can't get up after we've finished cleaning up."
After telling her to wait with Mark Goetun, he stood in front of the Eden Phantoms.
"We don't have much time, so let's finish this quickly."
Raon raised trees of fire and ice above the Heavenly Sword and the Wooden Ring Sword. Dual Attribute Fire Spirits. Countless petals of heat and cold bloomed and spread towards the Eden Phantoms.
The Eden Phantoms tried to counterattack or flee, but the Fire Spirits, which had reached the realm of transcendence, imbued each tiny petal with supreme power, completely burning or freezing them.
"Insane..."
"He-He's not just a simple Transcendent."
"To think we can't even escape..."
Faced with the terrifying power of the dual Fire Spirits, the Eden executives could only gulp and step back.
"It's quite impressive, indeed."
Larian licked her lips, muttering that she really wanted to research it.
"Urgh..."
The Soul Devourer regenerated his pierced body as soon as he separated from Larian.
"Is regeneration a basic skill for Eden people?"
Larian nodded slightly with a smile.
"Well, they're no different from chimeras that mix this and that."
She was about to extend her dagger, saying they weren't even worth researching, when she suddenly turned her head.
"Raon!"
Larian shouted, looking behind Evelyn. Raon heard Larian's shout and looked not at her, but at Evelyn.
Behind Evelyn, who was massaging her legs as if she were tired, the Fallen rose from his shadow, wearing a gray robe. He gleamed his golden eyes, seeming to have rewound time, without a single wound.
Raon moved his body before he could even think. He blocked the Fallen's hand, which was trying to pierce Evelyn's neck, using the Extreme Supreme Harmony Step.
Thanks to Larian's dagger that had been stuck in the ground helping, he managed to prevent the Fallen from ripping Evelyn's neck, but because he was too hasty and couldn't use all his strength, his right arm felt as if it was about to break from the pain.
It seemed like the internal muscles and blood vessels had ruptured.
"Urgh..."
Raon embraced the surprised Merlin and sent her back before standing in front of the Fallen.
"You..."
He bit his lip as he looked at the Fallen, who was standing calmly as if nothing had happened.
"What exactly are you?"
Honestly, he couldn't understand the situation itself, that he wouldn't die even when his neck and heart were simultaneously burst.
"It seems..."
Evelyn exhaled heavily as she slowly stood up.
"Has he created a new method of resurrection?"
She lowered her thin eyebrows, saying the method was different from before.
'This isn't good.'
He and Evelyn had spent a considerable amount of stamina and mana to trap the Fallen. They hadn't even thought about resurrection, but now that he had come back to life immediately, it seemed there was no answer.
"It's okay."
Larian snorted as she looked down at the Fallen.
"Time reversal isn't a spell that even he can use continuously. Your attacks definitely worked."
She nodded, saying the Fallen also seemed tired.
"If you can't fight, you can step aside. I'll finish this."
Larian gestured with her finger as she pressed the Soul Devourer with five daggers.
"Thanks for the offer, but..."
Raon shook his head as he looked at the Fallen.
"I, no, we'll finish this."
He wanted Evelyn to achieve her revenge with her own hands, so he refused and clenched his sword fist.
"Can you do it?"
He asked Evelyn without even turning around.
"Of course!"
Evelyn flashed a refreshing smile as she shook her hands.
"Actually, I was disappointed it ended too quickly."
She resonated ten magic circles, receiving mana from nature endlessly.
"Huu..."
The Fallen exhaled coldly as he looked down at Raon and Evelyn.
"It seems I've underestimated you too much."
He clicked his tongue briefly as he looked at Larian. It seemed he had intended to deal with them quickly and face Larian.
"From now on, I'll face you seriously."
The Fallen clasped his hands together, extending only his thumbs, index fingers, and little fingers. At the tips of his joined fingers, an ominous magic circle bloomed. The center of the mountain, which had been devastatingly excavated, trembled as if it were about to collapse, and behind the Fallen, a massive sun and moon rose.
The sun was bright white, and the moon was dyed jet black.
'This is...'
Raon gulped as he looked at the sun and moon the Fallen had summoned.
'What I saw when I fought Grandpa...'
This was the sun and moon the Fallen had unleashed as his ultimate power when Glenn went to rescue him. It seemed he was truly trying to kill him and Evelyn now. The sun and moon began to overlap like mirrors following the tips of the Fallen's fingers.
The sun of light and the moon of darkness merged into a single sphere, creating an intense beam.
The light was an empty gray, and it created an absolute current that absorbed everything around it like a black hole. The sky split into a spiderweb pattern, lava erupted from the cracked earth, and the mountain collapsed.
The Fallen's absolute aura had completely dominated this space. No, this entire region.
'This...'
Raon gulped as he watched the vast gray sphere slowly approaching.
'I can't block it.'
This wasn't a level of magic he could block with his current power. The moment he put his sword against it, he would also be erased from this world.
"It's okay."
Evelyn approached from behind and lightly touched his arm with her elbow.
"I'll try to create an opening."
She blinked incessantly with her eyes as if reading the flow of the Fallen's mana.
"There must be one."
Black blood gushed from Evelyn's nose. It seemed there had been internal bleeding due to the overuse of her brain. But she focused all her attention on the Fallen's magic, not even caring that blood was flowing not only from her nose, but also from her eyes and ears.
'Right.'
Raon turned his gaze back to the Fallen.
'I have to fight to the end too.'
If Evelyn wasn't backing down, neither should he. Even if he died before this empty light, he had to fight to the end. He resonated nine rings of fire, drawing out all the auras of the Ten Thousand Flames Cultivation and the Glacier.
Intense heat and cold rose above the two blades, giving him confidence as if he were holding the Divine Sword and the Demon Sword again.
"Top right..."
Evelyn raised her trembling hand, pointing to the top of the gray sphere that had now grown larger than a mountain.
"Go through there. I'll create a path for you."
She gave him a gentle pat on the shoulder as if telling him to go already.
"Okay."
Without even saying he trusted her, Raon kicked the ground that was crumbling into dust and advanced towards the gray sphere.
'Just looking at it takes my breath away.'
It was an immense wave, even more tremendous than the vortex he had faced before. Just getting close to it felt like his soul was melting.
'But I have no choice but to go.'
Although it was no different from trying to break a rock with an egg, he simply advanced, trusting Evelyn. The sphere containing the power of the void approached right before his eyes. Even just looking at the gray light rippling made it feel like his heart was going to burst, but he didn't stop his steps.
Just as he was about to swing his sword against the empty sphere that seemed absolutely unbreakable, he felt Evelyn's warm mana spreading.
"Now!"
With Evelyn's shout, a red mark appeared on the top right of the gray sphere, creating a thin crack. Raon didn't miss the moment the gray sphere cracked and moved the Requiem Blade he had already raised. The Requiem Blade, which had been raised with the principle of Sword Control, extended sharply, enveloped in wind and lightning.
'This won't be enough.'
Although Evelyn had created a crack, it seemed that the current Requiem Blade wouldn't be able to penetrate that gray sphere.
'This is a gamble.'
Raon bit his lip and opened his mental world, manifesting all the sword techniques he had seen and learned in this world. Sword Domain. Heaven Rift. The golden sword strike containing the wrath of the heavens collided with the gray void.
Although it was an absolute sword strike that could be called the ultimate technique of a swordsman, the gray void didn't waver, as if erasing everything.
However, the crack on the top right created by Evelyn's mana couldn't withstand the power of the Heaven Rift and crumbled, opening a small hole.
'Now!'
Raon entered the hole opened on the top right and charged towards the Fallen behind him.
"Crazy bastard!"
The Fallen, seemingly forgetting his usual polite speech, quickly turned his right hand to extract the power of the void.
'I've read it.'
Reading the power of the void the Fallen had raised, Raon swung the Heavenly Sword along the opposite vein. The golden flames cut through the wall of void the Fallen had raised and savagely tore his chest apart.
"Cough!"
The Fallen clutched his torn chest and stepped back.
"It's not over yet."
Raon followed the retreating Fallen and cut his neck with the Wooden Ring Sword. The blade, imbued with the cold energy of Wrath's ultimate technique, Silver Aurora, froze the Fallen's head a pristine white.
"Urgh..."
Raon wanted to completely destroy the Fallen's body, but after using the Sword Domain and the consecutive full-throttle sword strikes, his body wouldn't move.
"I'll take care of this."
"Evelyn clasped her hands together as she floated in the air. Behind her, numerous magic circles were drawn, forming a figure like butterfly wings.
"Vanish!"
With Evelyn's shout imbued with her will, countless spells rained down on the Fallen's severed body. Faced with the furious magic that could even erase the power of the void, the Fallen couldn't leave behind a single spell and crumbled into dust.
After erasing even the last ridge of the mountain, Evelyn fell as if she had exhausted all her strength.
"Evelyn!"
Raon put strength into his trembling legs and ran to catch the falling Evelyn.
"Are you alright?"
He trembled as he looked at Evelyn, who was bleeding from her eyes, nose, and mouth.
"Finally..."
Evelyn looked at him with a faint smile.
"You're holding me!"
She rubbed her face against his chest, saying she was happy.
"Ah..."
Raon closed his eyes tightly as he placed Evelyn on the ground.
-Huu...
Wrath shook his head.
-She's truly crazy. That's all I can say.
He also seemed surprised and let out a sigh of relief as he slumped down.
"......"
Larian bit her lip deeply as she looked at Raon and Evelyn.
"Go flirt somewhere else!"
