Chapter 173: The Cult (5)
However, it’s not the carefree smile it normally had. It was a distorted smile which was caused by the pain it felt. However, It was filled with its determination to protect humans and its joy at having protected humans.
As the fist of the giant monster flew towards the Golden Reaper, the Golden Reaper’s hair fluttered due to the strong wind and sparkled like a firefly in the dark forest.
Are the humans okay?
It wished they all ran away and were safe. It also wished the fist wouldn’t be hurt as much.
Perhaps because it was thinking about something painful, the Golden Reaper wanted to see its mother.
Mom…
This place was too far away for its mother to notice its feeling, but it still wanted to see its mother. However, the faint wave of determination to see its mother was burned by white flames.
But, the moment its determination fluttered like white flower petals in the air, a familiar shadow fell over the Golden Reaper.
A presence that was stronger than anyone else spread out and filled the surroundings.
Mom!The Golden Reaper felt a familiar presence and smiled brightly.
Mom is here!
*********Just before the Blue Reaper and the Clone Army clashed, a faint fragment of emotion flowed in. Strangely enough, it flew toward the Clone Army. The Clone Army was faintly connected to somewhere, and the emotion flowed from there. That emotion was the emotion of a Mini Reaper who was suffering somewhere.
Bright as the sun and brave. However, it felt like its life was in danger.
Surprised, I quickly spread the Black Penguin’s power in all directions.
Seoul, Korea, and beyond the sea, the entire world.
Most of the Mini Reapers were happy, but a Golden Reaper’s firewood in the United States was shaking as if it would go out. I used teleportation toward the firewood that was like a lantern in front of a hurricane.
I felt my firewood burning quickly as I moved a huge distance in an instant. And the moment I arrived, a giant fist slammed into me.
Crack-!
Then, the sound of something breaking that I thought I would never hear since I gained physical immunity echoed through my body. Amids the terrible pain, I tried to find the Golden Reaper who must have been badly injured.
The Golden Reaper was smiling brightly at me, even though it was as tattered as broken pottery. I rolled around, holding the Golden Reaper in my arms and protecting it as much as possible so that it wouldn’t get hurt.
After rolling quite a distance, I was finally able to stop. Then, I looked inside my arms to see if the Golden Reaper was hurt. But he seemed fine.
Smile-!
The Golden Reaper, who was covered in wounds, stared at my face and smiled brightly. When I looked at its face, I felt relaxed for some reason.
Then, I started to laugh. I gently stroked the head of the Golden Reaper who had a smile on its face and pushed a lot of firewood towards it.
The Golden Reaper, who had been like broken porcelain, instantly regained its original form and raised both arms to cheer.
It was a gesture that seemed to shout, ‘Resurrected!’
*********Bang-!
The Blue Reaper’s shield shook violently as if it was going to break.
“Only pain will be the salvation from the prison of flesh.”
The clone cult leader army, muttering softly and constantly, exuded a strange sense of alienation and repulsion.
They seemed human, but they didn’t have a human-like atmosphere.
Every time the muttering clone cult leader army struck the water droplets, the water droplets bounced off without mercy and rolled down the passage.
Every time that happened, the Blue reapers had a serious expression on their faces and wrote something again in the air.
< Protect us! >
< Protect everyone! >
The Blue Reapers were focused on maintaining the shield while minimizing counterattacks as if they were waiting for something.
Bang-! Bang-!
After rolling through the underground passage for a long time, the blue reapers ended up rolling deep into the passage, to a wide open space. It was the end of the passage, a dead end.
It was a place so wide that the leader clones could easily surround them and hit the water droplets from all directions.
True to that, the leaders spread out and surrounded the water droplets before slowly began to approach it.
“The body is the prison of the soul. You can only escape from that prison through suffering.”
“The body is the prison of the soul. You can only escape from that prison through suffering.”
“The body is the prison of the soul. You can only escape from that prison through suffering.”
The leaders’ voices echoed ominously in the wide open space.
It seemed like an unavoidable disadvantageous situation, but the Blue Reapers just smiled brightly under their large hats.
Then, ten Blue Reapers gathered together and wrote something in the air.
< The strongest Mother golem in the world! >
< Golem! >
A large Gray Reaper that fit the large open space appeared and howled.
“Kuaaaaang!”
It was the roar of a 5m tall mass of water.
*********The cult leader rejected the pain and stepped forward for those who were prisoned in their body.
After realizing the existence of God and realized that it always stayed in his eyes, which was unusual, he saw the wishes of countless people who were afraid of suffering.
“You poor people who are caught up in the illusion of the flesh.”
Unorganized wishes wouldn’t be able to reach God.
Suffering.
Only the desire to escape from that suffering could reach God.
While trying to bestow the blessing of suffering on people, the cult leader saw an unpleasant being.
A being that resembled the flame of God, but was unpleasantly twisted.
Because it resembled God, it made him feel even more repulsed by it.
The cult leader looked down at the object with golden and gray skin and lamented.
“Oh God almighty!”
At that moment, a huge eye spread out on the ground where the cult leader was standing.
*********Even though the Golden Reaper had been resurrected, the situation was still not good. The giant was still acting up as if he was going to kill me and the Golden Reaper, and I still had no way to deal with it.
Bang-!
The ground that had been hit by the giant fist scattered in all directions as if it had been hit by a bomb.
“Oh, God almighty. Please show me the right guidance.”
The giant’s voice resonated like thunder.
In the meantime, I was running around with the Golden Reaper on my head.
Clench-!
Even though I tried to grab the air hard to grab the space, it had no effect. Rather, In my hands that were supposed to grab the space, white flames were flying like cherry blossoms.
Like the Golden Reaper who had gotten hurt, I wasn’t able to utilized my abilities.
To think there was an Object that could block my abilities…
The cause was probably the white flames that were stuck to my body and wouldn’t go. Because of these white flames, I couldn’t use my abilities, so it was a very difficult situation.
In fact, I felt like I instinctively knew how to use my power.
I also felt a strange conviction.
If I swallow this flame and use it as firewood, everything will be solved.
That was my conviction.
But, the moment I swallowed this flame, I believed that there would be a big problem. It’s like putting cooking oil in a car instead of gasoline.
Jump-!
Even though I was running around, it was simply impossible to avoid all of the giant’s fists. The best I could do was just avoid the situation where I would be stuck on the ground and couldn’t move and kept getting hit.
In the end, I came to a conclusion.
I can’t try anything if I can’t use my power properly.
There was something I realized while running around. The white flames gradually decreased as the distance increased.
So first, I needed to get far away from that giant.
At that moment, I told the Golden Reaper to ‘hold on tight.’ As soon as it heard it, the Golden Reaper hugged my tentacles with both arms and legs and ate it with its mouth.
As the Golden Reaper held me tightly, I charged at the giant.
Then, a large fist blitzed towards me as if he had been waiting for it.
However, I dodged the fist with the minimum movement before running. The arm that the fist touched was torn apart and scattered in the air. However, the trajectory of the punch could not hit what he had intended to hit.
Then, I ran around the giant’s feet. I felt my limbs, which could regenerate in an instant, fly away.
I just had to avoid being stuck on the ground and unable to move!
Bang-! Bang-!
The giant stamped his feet as if he was annoyed.
“Ah, that’s too bad. Pain is the stairway to God.”
The giant in his fancy clothes was constantly muttering strange things.
I dodged the stomping feet and started to run away from the giant as fast as I could. Then, the giant habitually swung his foot at me like he was kicking a soccer ball.
Bang-!
The wind blew so fiercely that the surrounding trees were uprooted.
I was sure that if I got hit by that kick, I’d be torn to pieces. However, I still jumped up and dove toward the giant’s foot.
Thud-!
I heard the sound of my leg breaking as terrible pain assaulted me. At the same time, I started flying into the air like a bullet.
I smiled brightly as I flew through the forest at high speed.
I was kicked like a soccer ball, and my whole body was torn apart and broken, but I was flying high in the sky!
This is my escape route!
The farther away I got, the more the white flames disappeared.
When all the white flames on my body finally disappeared, I stretched out both of my hands to the giant.
And unlike before, my hands turned black.
I won.
Clench-!
I grabbed the air and tore the giant apart.
But in the place where the giant had fallen, something unusual appeared.
A pupil that looked like a magic circle appeared above the ground where the giant had been standing.
Then, the pupil, like a window to another world, glowed with an ominous light and stared at me.
