Chapter 279: Victory (4)
Old Man Hwang and Hwang Chae-Il quickly realized a lot of things. Why they couldnt contact Gi-Gyu through the crack, why they couldnt monitor Eden, and even why they didnt have an eye on the Ha Song-Su fight.
M-my goodness Old Man Hwang mumbled.
The man resting before them on the bed like a corpse had a naked torso and a broken monocle.
L-Lord Paimon? Old Man Hwang gasped. He had finally realized Paimon was behind everything.
Tao Chen had carried Paimon and Bodhidharma here. The monk was also unconscious in the room, but Old Man Hwang and Hwang Chae-Il were only interested in the demon.
Is this really Lord Paimon? Hwang Chae-Il asked again.
Old Man Hwang looked at his son before nodding. Hwang Chae-Il had never met Paimon before, but he had.
The father-son duo alone werent in shock.
Baal whispered, I cant believe Paimon is here
He was the one who had contacted Gi-Gyu, explained the situation, and even opened a path for him. Still, Baal was just as baffled. Paimon was a comrade, a supposedly dead comrade, but here he was, sleeping.
This is crazy Just what did Andras do?! Baal grabbed his head in shock. He had always kept calm no matter the situation. He hadnt panicked even when Soo-Jung lost to Ha Song-Su. Yet with Paimon in front of him, Baal couldnt hide his surprise. He had never been shocked like this before.
This wasnt done just by Andras Paimon Baal became quiet, his brain bolting to think of something.
Inside the Sephiroth Tree, an uncomfortable silence fell. Everyone was having a hard time accepting what was happening.
Kaboom!
Suddenly, a powerful explosion originating from inside the wooden wall, caught their attention. Its aftermath was so intense that everyone inside Eden felt it.
Old Man Hwang, Hwang Chae-Il, and Baal turned to watch the fight.
...!
Oh my god
I cant believe this.
The three figures gaped. What they saw on the screen shocked them almost as much as the fact that Paimon was back from the dead.
***
Boom!
Each crash seemed strong enough to rip the space. The explosions were quieter now, and the space was filled with rampant sorcerous energy, magic, Life, and Death.
Boom!
Two human forms clashed with each other. But they couldnt be humans. It was more like two mountains butting against each other.
Ugh, El groaned, followed by the sound of shattering glass. The barrier she had created with everything she had quickly lost its layers. Blood dripped down from her lips.
Dark Flame! Soo-Jung tried to help.
Lim Hye-Sook added her strength as well.
Ill help too! Yoo-Bin offered.
There wasnt much these three women could do other than make Els barrier sturdier.
Ugh, Soo-Jung moaned.
Kya! Yoo-Bin shrieked.
All four women worked together but still couldnt contain the battle between the two beasts. The barrier kept breaking, and they kept mending it, taking the brunt of it all.
Im sorry Tao Chen looked down, his face ridden with guilt. Sadly, he didnt have any barrier-forming skills. For now, he had to rely on them to remain alive.
Boom!
Finally, for the first time since the battle began, Gi-Gyu stepped back. A wave of dense sorcerous energy rushed toward him, who pushed it back using Lou.
Ha Song-Su screamed. With him at the center, the surrounding area began sinking. The ground seemingly couldnt endure the weight of the huge amount of sorcerous energy he was releasing.
Ugh. For the first time, Gi-Gyu groaned. He raised his sword straight up to fight the gigantic force from his opponent. The sorcerous energy from Lou poured out like black liquid and began forming a protective sphere around Gi-Gyu.
Ha Song-Su and Gi-Gyu were fighting primarily by means of strength, without using their skills.
Dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun.
Their distinct sorcerous energy crashed and resonated. Magic disappeared. Life and Death, the energies supposedly stronger than sorcerous energy, left as well. The sorcerous energy Gi-Gyu and Ha Song-Su used had gone beyond definition. It was thicker and way more destructive.
Dun dun dun dun dun dun!
The two sorcerous energies mixed to constitute a dark fog.
Finally, Soo-Jung screamed, You bastards!
She turned to the other woman and ordered, Put everything into the barrier! Or else we will all die!
Before she could finish her order, the two similar yet distinct sorcerous energies exploded.
Kaboom!
It swallowed everything, including Soo-Jung and the others. It even reached the giant wall but didnt make it explode. Instead, the explosion began to tear the wall apart.
***
The battle was over.
Ughhhh Hal moaned. The others groaned as well.
Victory Victory is ours. Hal used his halberd to stand beside the drake, which had collapsed.
They had annihilated their enemies. The demons were dead, and they didnt deserve to live.
Haa Haa Botis walked up to Hal. I cant remember the last time I fought like this
Botis had lived in hell, but the battle left even him shocked. He was beyond exhausted because he had fought beyond his limit. Since the wounds of Gi-Gyus creatures healed near instantly, they had fought and fought without rest until it was finally over.
I guess its over there too Botis, his face covered in blood and mucus, pointed at a giant hole. It was so big that it looked like an asteroid had fallen from the sky. The Eden creatures slowly looked up. They could barely move, but they all began moving toward the hole.
Gi-Gyus creatures surrounded the hole.
Their faces hopeful, they looked inside.
In the middle, they saw a man panting roughly, Haa Haa
We Hal opened his mouth. We won!
The panting man was wearing Dragon Hunter, which was ripped in many places. The man was covered in blood and black energy.
It was Gi-Gyu.
Haa Haa Gi-Gyu continued to gasp as he stabbed Ha Song-Sus neck.
Ha Song-Su was on the ground with his eyes closed as if he were dead.
Everyone was certain of Gi-Gyus victory when suddenly, a woman screamed, No!
It was El. The fatigue was apparent on her face, but she still opened all her wings and flew toward Gi-Gyu.
Whoosh!
She wanted to take the white spear meant for Gi-Gyu.
