Episode 1073
Suddenly!
From the moment the powerful spear blade cut into the first victim, my heart sank heavily.
Are the enemies stronger than you think?
Or is it because somewhere in your mind you are already fiddling with the word defeat?
no. Wrong.
From the beginning, I had no doubt that our troops would win.
However, as always, I just realized my own limitations.
A limitation as a mere human being that we cannot completely escape, no matter how many times we have already overcome it.
‘How many more people will die this time?’
Of course I know.
That I am not an omnipotent god who can save everyone.
The fact that not only I but anyone else can become a god like him.
It was the same with heroes from distant myths, and Cheon Tae-min, who was called the savior of mankind, was no exception.
To get something, you have to pay a reasonable price for it.
Whether the cost is time or life.
But even if you know that fact, you can’t get used to it.
No, you should never get used to it.
If that happens, everything will become natural.
And someone’s sacrifice and death are something that should never be taken for granted.
Quad deuk!
Just once.
A thick mist of blood spreads along the blade of the spear wielded with strong energy, accompanied by an eerie cracking sound.
If the other person had been human, it would have been an instant sight of shock and fear.
However, even though dozens of monsters were scattered into finely chopped pieces of flesh, they paid no heed and rushed in from all directions like a flood.
It was equipped with a tight battle line that did not match its fierce and vicious force.
‘It’s impossible with their level of intelligence. There’s definitely someone.’
Before the battle began in earnest, the eerie sounds of bells carried by the wind from all directions were by no means hallucinations.
Mutants, or monsters.
I don’t know exactly what to call those terrible monsters, but it has become clear that there is a command tower somewhere that controls them like puppets.
There’s just one problem… … .
‘You hid well.’
Is it because they kept in mind the existence of transcendent experts, including me?
They, who were clearly the majority, could not be found anywhere.
And this was not only true for me, but also for the person who probably had the most outstanding eyesight among our allies.
Hiss, quaaaaaang!
Four streaks of flash, fired in succession toward the north, south, east, and west, explode, engulfing space.
Amidst the huge shock waves and roaring sound that echoed everywhere, a uniquely calm voice pierced my ears.
“For now, I can’t see it or feel it. “There are at least a hundred more.”
A word from the palace that seems to have already penetrated my thoughts.
At the same time, Jeokcheongang, drenched in the blood of monsters, appeared and added:
“And, there are so many of them.”
Hwareuk, puheoeuung!
A fist held out before even finishing the sentence.
The flames burned even the air and engulfed the monsters, emitting terrible heat.
– Crumbling!
– Ahhh!
Screams echoing in layers.
However, even though he once again defeated dozens of enemies with a powerful blow, Jeokcheongang’s expression did not brighten at all.
“If it continues like this, there will be no end. “Unless we annihilate everyone here, the path won’t open.”
It is clear that the tide of battle is moving in our army’s favor.
But the problem was what happened after defeating all the monsters surrounding us.
Many of the 3,000 or so allies will certainly be killed or injured, and Darkcheon’s pursuit will continue relentlessly.
‘Damn it.’
I looked around, swallowing the curses that were boiling up in my mouth.
It’s only been a little while since the battle against 10,000 monsters began.
Right now, there are no major casualties due to the actions of several transcendental experts, including myself, but in the end, it was only a matter of time.
‘As I’m already exhausted, I’m sure it will break down quickly.’
A battle is also a fight with yourself.
No matter how carefully they are selected, they are elites, but unlike their enemies, they are humans made of cloth.
The moment one recognizes that one is at a crossroads between life and death, the human body quickly becomes tired and the mind becomes blurred.
And the Ultimate Experts, who were doing their best from the start to protect their allies as much as possible, were also depleting their strength at a faster rate than usual.
Because right now, I was just like them.
Thump, thump!
A large man as tall as two feet falls to his knees on the blade of a spear that precisely slices through the tendons of his calf.
A huge body that does not look human at all.
The skin surrounding the monsters was as tough as leather armor, and even greater strength was needed to split the harder bones.

After crushing the guy’s skull with a single blow that took a lot of effort, I gritted my teeth and shouted.
“Stay in formation!”
Although the chants of revenge rang out everywhere, I could immediately sense that their size and force had already clearly subsided.
‘Change is needed.’
fear.
The darkest emotion given to humans.
This was only natural as we were surrounded by monsters we had never seen or heard of before.
And now I have enough strength to break away from the fear that bound them.
Instead of expending a huge amount of power, it is the best way to overcome the current situation.
‘once. ‘I take advantage of just one opportunity and tear through their ranks in one go.’
No matter how strong a wall is, it collapses the moment a gap opens up.
I took a slow breath.
At the same time, I encountered the world that had already slowed down and the noise of moving away, and a new sensation that opened deep inside me.
The sense of middle ground that still feels unfamiliar.
Wooooow.
A space that suddenly trembles slightly.
I stretched out my hand in response to everything surrounding me.
No, I tried to stretch out.
Until, at that very moment, someone appeared, letting out a loud shout that shattered my five senses, which were fully concentrated.
“Gaaaaaal!”
A voice overflowing with determination.
And the great man who blocked my path with a move that did not suit him, swung an iron sword that I did not know where he had picked it up.
“You foolish, pitiful monsters! Gaeddong, the god who has come down to this earth in obedience to the will of heaven, has come, so kneel down right now!”
“… … !”
“… … !”
A cold silence fell for an instant.
The allies around me, including myself, as well as the monsters attacking from all directions, looked at the great man with blurry eyes.
‘What is this guy?’
Same eyes. Same idea.
However, the person who performed the miracle of bringing monsters and humans to a place of dialogue and agreement at once did not care and just continued to shout in a stern tone.
“Uh-huh! What are you doing! “Can’t you hear Chunja’s name?”
Jeokcheon-gang muttered as if he was sighing at the story of Daein, who not only changed his name but also changed his gender in one go.
“I should have caught and killed that guy first.”
I almost nodded at the very reasonable opinion, but that’s not important right now.
Dae Ren’s appearance at the vanguard meant a vacuum in the left wing led by Sima Biao, which meant that the entire formation of our troops might soon collapse.
‘That crazy guy… … !’
I knew he wasn’t in his right mind, but I never thought I’d poop at this important time.
However, the current situation is such that there is no time to express anger.
It was the moment when I was trying to suppress the twinge of desire welling up from deep inside my lungs and send the great man back to his original place.
Coo!
With a loud rumbling that shook the ground, the monster closest suddenly fell to one knee.
“… … “What is this?”
The single moan that escaped from someone’s lips was also the question that everyone, including me, thought of at the same time.
And before I could find the answer to that question, other monsters surrounding me like an iron wall suddenly trembled.
– Crunch. Crumble.
– Wow?
Dilated pupils and moans of unknown meaning.
In addition, a strange change began at the same time.
thud. Kugugoogung!
The ground is shaking. The heavy bodies fall one after another, creating thick clouds of dust.
Hundreds and hundreds and hundreds more.
Until all the monsters that filled the vast reed forest were defeated.
It was like a giant domino falling, and everyone, including me, was speechless at the incredible phenomenon that suddenly unfolded before our eyes.
Except for one person.
“hmm. Yes, that’s right. “You’ve finally become more obedient.”
The man, who looked triumphant, turned his head towards me.
“Ahem. Did you see it? “I am like this.”
Of course I saw it.
And very clearly, right in front of you.
So at this moment, there was only one thing I could say.
“… … What is this? “Is this a dream?”
“It’s a dream, that’s right. “Originally, human life is like a midday dream.”
Looking over the shoulder of the great man, who nodded with a knowing smile, a half-fazed Jeokcheongang looked at me.
“this… … “What on earth is going on?”
I was equally as dumbfounded when I asked that question.
I answered in a dazed voice.
“I don’t know that either.”
“Doesn’t your guy know?”
“yes.”
“I’m going to see all sorts of strange cases. Did Nobu live too long?”
“You lived a long time.”
“Or perhaps we are having the same dream?”
“Maybe so. If it’s rude, can I hit you? “I thought it would hurt so much if I got hit.”
“For a dream, that’s too much bullshit of yours. Come to think of it, it’s been a while since I got hit, right?”
“That’s a very realistic reaction. “It definitely doesn’t seem like a dream.”
It was right then.
After avoiding the unfortunate event of being hit by Jeokcheongang by quickly changing my posture, someone’s voice came from far away into my ears.
“It’s still the same. “Those two are still the same.”
The moment I paused at the voice of a boy who seemed to have not yet gone through transformation.
“and! “I’ve never seen such a relationship between priests!”
Then, my lips parted involuntarily at the unforgettable, cheerful voice that arrived on the wind.
“… … Cheongpung?”
