Chapter 74 End (5)
9.
Ulan appears out of nowhere.
He was not the only one who entered the battlefield.
Noah and Sven also joined the warrior group properly, although they were a little later than Ulan.
Then.
Wow! Knock knock!
Lacus’ body, which had been split in two, strangely stuck together and soon returned to its original state.
“This is amazing.”
The situation was very different from what was expected. Lacus frowned and muttered at the sight created by this truly new incident.
“There must have been a curtain of abyss surrounding it to prevent even a single rat from escaping, but how on earth did you come to know about the situation here?”
He asked a question as if he was puzzled, but the answer he received from Ulan was an angry counterattack.
puck! Quad Deuk!
A body torn to pieces again.
However, even though it was broken into numerous fragments, Lacus continued to roll his eyes. As if searching for a reason why Ulan and Noah were able to join.
At that time, something caught my eye.
“Your guy… … .”
A young girl hiding behind Noah.
Immediately after discovering a girl who looked particularly like Perticia, Lacus realized the child’s identity.
“is it. “You are the culprit.”
Spirit of the Abyss.
A traitor who was born and raised in the abyss and signed a contract with the Hero of the Stars. Lacus, who noticed this belatedly, wrinkled his face like a demon.
In response, the spirit of the abyss hid behind Noah with a disgusted expression, and Noah explained to the warriors why he was able to come here.
“The spirit of the abyss came?”
Laurea, who heard the whole story, asked back with a surprised face. Noah nodded her head wordlessly and Delia glanced straight at Perticia.
“What, can you at least give me a tip?”
“that’s right. “You were surprised.”
“Hehe, sorry. If that happens, I feel like that monster will target us first… … .”
Perticia scratches her cheek shyly.
Noah’s support soon followed.
“that’s right. “It was a wise decision.”
This is a space created by Lacus.
All conversations exchanged here reach his eyes and ears through his relatives.
So, if the Spirit of the Abyss had been mentioned, Lacus would have prioritized eliminating the warriors over the Gate of the Abyss, and then not only Ibella but other warriors might have lost their lives.
Meanwhile, at that time.
At the end of the conversation between Noah and the warriors, Lacus, who had turned into hundreds of fragments, restored his body to its original state.
“Anyway, it’s been a while since I’ve seen you.”
After some time, he faced Ulan and his expression suddenly became filled with nostalgia.
“This is probably the first time I’ve seen you in this life, right?”
“There is no need to try to be happy. “I will send you back to the abyss in no time.”
“Tsk, you’re still impatient.”
Lacus clicked his tongue at the murderous look in his eyes. Even though the incident he had been so wary of was right in front of his nose, Lacus was full of composure.
“However, your wish will not come true. “No matter how much I became a transcendental person, my luggage is also quite different from what you remembered.”
“Then prove it to me.”
As soon as Lacus finished speaking, Ulan growled lowly and kicked the ground.
The two clashed in the blink of an eye and launched fierce attacks at each other without even knowing who would go first.
Quagga-ga-ga-ga! Quang!
A sight where the ground splits and the battlefield shakes.
The battle between those who transcended humans and those who transcended monsters was truly beyond imagination. So much so that other warriors didn’t even dare to intervene.
Still, I couldn’t just watch.
“Are you just going to watch?”
“that’s right. “Shouldn’t we help?”
“Of course we should help. However, it is Ulan’s job to deal with Lacus directly, and we have other things to do.”
Noah’s eyes shone sharply.
Then Ian, who was fighting monsters at the front, asked as if he had a guess.
“Are you looking for his source?”
“Yes, that’s correct.”
Astevan, Lord of the Immortals.
Like Astevan, whom he faced earlier in the Southern Rainforest’s Demon Palace, Lacus has hidden his origins somewhere in space.
“The source is definitely nearby. In order for an alter ego like Astevan to function smoothly, there must be a source not far away.”
In the original work, Perticia, Sven, and Ibella played the roles of finding the source of Lacus.
After Noah’s explanation, the three warriors who were in charge of the search looked blank.
“Hmm, I’m already at a loss… … .”
It has to be that way.
Finding the source in such a vast place was like finding a needle that had fallen on a sandy beach.
However, there is no need to worry this time.
“are you okay. Unlike in Astevan, this time we know how to find the source.”
“yes? really?”

“It’s worth doing if you know how.”
Following Perticia’s wide-eyed look, Sven’s complexion also brightened. Noah nodded and immediately kissed his lips.
“Then let me explain the strategy.”
The search plan was extremely simple.
First, it begins with Perticia using spirits to explore the surrounding space. After explaining what she had experienced in the original work, Pertichia immediately asked back.
“You want to find a place where space is distorted?”
“Yes, there will be spaces so subtly distorted that they cannot be detected by human senses. “Please find that place whenever you can.”
“Uhm, I understand. “I’ll give it a try!”
After answering, Perticia immediately released the spirits and searched the area. Then, following Noah’s words, he set out to find the place where space was distorted.
How long has it been like that?
As the list of suspicious candidates began to appear little by little, Noah turned to Sven.
“The next thing Sven needs to do is select a space that smells like Lacus among the candidates Perticia found.”
Spirits cannot smell.
On the other hand, Sven has a reputation as a Myoin hunter, so he has a considerable ability to discern smells, sounds, and spatial waves.
“It’s that simple. “Even so, that guy’s scent is so strong that you can’t forget it, so you’ll be able to find it right away.”
Sven shows strong confidence.
But this did not last long. This was because the number of candidates discovered by Perticia had already exceeded double digits.
“… … But isn’t this a bit much?”
“So you’re not confident?”
“joy! “I didn’t say a word like that.”
However, for a moment, Sven responded to Noah’s light provocation in a blunt tone, as if he had never complained before.
Then.
“Phew, I just finished. In total, there are about 49 places.”
Perticia’s exploration mission is over.
As a result, just as Sven was about to begin the selection process, saboteurs suddenly appeared.
【I don’t know what kind of trick it is】
【Do you think they would just leave it installed?】
Lacus’ descendants.
Plus the monsters and worshipers of the abyss. Everyone rushed towards Sven.
But there was no need to worry. Currently, everyone except Ulan was by Sven’s side.
“Holy Ghost!”
Led by Ian, who was chanting a sacred spell, Laurea and Delia joined in the defense.
Ian, who cut down the subordinates who were targeting Sven, planted his shield on the front line and shouted.
“Please leave them to me.”
A somewhat solemn answer.
Ibella asked back with concern.
“Are you okay alone?”
“Why are you saying this again? Just now, you left me and ran away on your own.”
“Ahaha, that’s… … .”
“Haha, just kidding. “Anyway, it’s worth holding on to, so please focus on the search.”
Ian burst out laughing and focused on the battle with the monsters again.
Delia and Laurea also assisted him in the battle, and only after all the obstructionists had disappeared did the search for Sven begin.
Some time after that.
Sven, who had been wandering the battlefield, has returned.
His entire body was covered in sweat, as if he had expended a great deal of mental energy during the selection process. Noah asked straight to the point.
“What happened?”
“… … “I figured this much out.”
Sven answered weakly and spread three fingers. He pointed to the three spaces that were finally selected and muttered as if he had no shame.
“I’m sorry, but this is the limit. I wanted to narrow down the candidates further, but… … .”
I no longer feel the difference.
Sven lowered his head because everything that made up the space, the smell, the flow of magic, and everything else was similar to the same degree.
“are you okay.”
Ibella, on the other hand, didn’t care.
Just narrowing down dozens of candidates to three was a big enough feat.
Now it’s her turn.
“Because you can stab everything.”
Thanks to the divine healing spell that Laurea recited earlier, my body has improved considerably.
Ibella caught her breath and swung her sword, aiming at the three candidates Sven had mentioned one by one.
‘First, start with the closest place.’
An onslaught that pours down like a flash of light.
However, the first attempt was a failure. He felt nothing on the tip of the sword or the blade. In response, Bella aimed for his second space.
Huh! Pababat!
The sword of insight penetrated space and space.
I wondered if it would work this time, but unfortunately I still couldn’t feel anything. Then there is only one thing left. Ibella’s eyes shone with determination.
But at that moment.
“… … !?”
My body suddenly stiffened.
The arm that was about to strike the sword didn’t move as if someone had caught it, and I couldn’t even breathe freely.
‘no way… … .’
Was Lacus playing a trick?
Suddenly, such a guess crossed my mind.
At the same time, Ibella glared at the last remaining candidate, her eyes bloodshot.
‘It was soon… … !’
There is nothing you can do with your goal right in front of you. This made Bella shiver.
But there was something she overlooked.
The point was that there was someone who watched this situation from beginning to end.
“I found it, Ulan!”
A shout that came out on behalf of Ibella.
It was Noah’s voice. She pointed the tip of Ibella’s sword exactly in the direction she was aiming for, and at that moment, Ulan’s momentum changed.
─────!
The power of explosive expansion.
Ulan revealed all the power he had suppressed so far. All the space within reach, this battlefield itself, is now his domain.
Then there is only one thing to do.
As we have done so far, all we can do is destroy the source of existence that proves the Lord of the Abyss itself.
The moment you put your decision into action.
Two axes tore through the space.
Quagga-ga-ga-ga-ga! Quaaaang!
The hall was literally reduced to ruins by a transcendental strike that far surpassed the sword of the seer. Not only Lacus, but also the subordinates and monsters that followed him were caught up in Ulan’s blow.
A hazy gray dust.
Then, cloudy ash flew into the air. Ian, who witnessed this scene, muttered a question in a trembling voice.
“Have you done it?” … ?”
Noah said that all beings of the abyss will turn to ash when they meet their end.
Ulan, on the other hand, shook his stern face.
“No, not yet.”
Lacus’ body. So, Chartrand’s body definitely turned into ashes. However, the powerful force I had encountered earlier still remained.
Rather, it feels like it is being whipped around more roughly.
When Ulan’s face hardened as he sensed that the situation was going out of the ordinary, a shadow suddenly emerged from the place that had turned to ashes.
【Yes, it’s just as the Stranger Things said.】
It soon took shape and turned into a very familiar appearance to Ulan and Noah.
A huge eyeball swimming in the air.
This was the true form of Lacus, the Lord of the Abyss.
He stared at Noah with a smile on his face and asked a question implicitly.
【Why do you think Jim didn’t hide the source deeper? In my last life, I tried so hard not to get caught.】
After listening to it, it was definitely true.
In my last life, it took a week just to find the source of Lacus.
‘Whereas now… … .’
The source was found in just ten minutes. No matter how careless you are, this is definitely strange.
At that time, I kept thinking about the reason.
‘… … wait for a sec.’
A guess suddenly crossed my mind.
If the opponent does not disappear even after eliminating the source, there is only one reason. This means that there is a separate true source that constitutes our present existence.
After gathering his thoughts for a moment, Noah asked Lacus back with a stern look on his face.
“Could it be that you absorbed the source of the abyss?”
Suspicions sprouted from suspicion, which quickly blossomed into truth. Lacus’ wide-eyed appearance was proof.
【After all, you are a stranger. You’re quick-witted.】
A feeling of ridicule blooming in the eyes.
After that, the guy laughed coldly. Then he nodded his eyes and confirmed Noah’s words.
【Yes. The burden is already an abyss itself. It is immortal and has no weakness whatsoever, and cannot be harmed by mortals!】
A loud laugh echoed throughout the battlefield.
A mad laugh full of arrogance. Lacus, who was smiling happily, looked at the warriors again.
What kind of face does he have?
despair? fear? Shocked? Anything was good.
Lacus was satisfied with just being able to swallow up all the star warriors who were always in the position of predators in their repetitive lives.
【─Hmm?】
But something was a little strange.
This is because I discovered something completely unexpected in the warriors’ expressions.
One might expect surprise, embarrassment, and caution, but the strange thing was that those emotions were directed to a place other than Lacus.
【You guys, what on earth are you looking at】
Feeling doubt, Lacus moved his eyes.
To look where the warriors’ eyes were directed. But for some reason, my body couldn’t move. The moment I felt an even bigger doubt.
【────!?】
Lacus opened his eyes wide.
Because I realized why I couldn’t look away.
This was because his body slowly turned into ashes and flew away. The moment when my eyeballs shook wildly at a completely unexpected sight.
【Thank you for your hard work so far.】
A familiar voice was heard.
At the same time, Lacus’ eyeballs fluttered even more. This was because it was a voice that should never be heard again in the outside world.
【──■■?】
A language that was not of this world flowed from Lacus. However, everyone, including Ulan, now knows what the word means.
The source of the abyss.
The hidden world of the abyss itself and the true darkness behind the monarchs. He appeared beyond the gates of the abyss.
‘… … It’s the same as what I heard from Ulan.’
The shape of countless hands.
It matches what Ulan said earlier, when he stepped into the abyss in pursuit of the Ghost Knights.
Noah swallowed his dry saliva because he felt an unusual power just by looking at it. At that time, Lacus’ shout broke my thoughts.
【How on earth did it pop out? Jim must have absorbed all of ■■’s power─.】
The source of the abyss responded dryly to Lacus, who shouted as if he could not understand.
【What a foolish guy.】
【We are shadows born with the stars in the beginning.】
【It is the world behind the scenes.】
【But did you think that a single Lord of the Abyss could swallow the world?】
The source of the abyss is the one who created the monarch.
There is no way such a being could be swallowed up by a monarch who is just a creature.
【No way, you’ve been deceiving Jim all this time—!】
Lacus, who belatedly realized this fact, let out a rage. On the other hand, the source of the abyss retorted as if asking what he was talking about.
【No, we never deceived you.】
【I just stayed silent to preserve my power.】
【You are the one who was mistaken, Lacus.】
The source of the abyss chanted coldly.
Taking this as a signal, the numerous hands it stretched out wrapped around the crumbling Lacus.
【As long as the door to the abyss is open─.】
【Because we no longer need a monarch.】
【Now is the time to get your power back.】
At those words, Lacus let out a roar filled with anger. However, the sound it made did not reach the ears of Ulan and his group.
gulp!
Lacus’s existence disappeared along with the sound of him swallowing a piece of meat down his throat.
Some time after that.
When the hands that had wrapped around him fell, all that remained was white ash.
A strange thing happened with him.
Saaaaa!
Lacus’s descendants also turned into ashes and scattered around, meeting the same end as their master.
【Nice to see you again.】
【Agent of the Stranger and the Star. And─.】
【─Part of the strange incident.】
In the center of the gray, snowy battlefield, the source of the abyss looked at the warriors. Then he spoke in a whisper in a voice full of joy.
【The time to end everything has arrived.】
【Finally, this time】
【I announce the end to the world.】
The moment his words scattered into the air.
An almost infinite hand stretched out from beyond the door of the abyss. Soon, countless palms poured down to attack Ulan and the others.
