YM778.TV Chapter 260 - The Whole World Will Be Destroyed (2)
A horrible scream spread.
“Haa.”
He took a deep breath and held Ludwig tighter, leaping forward and swinging the sword upward. A white sword aura spread from the trajectory of his attack.
The demonic monsters rushing toward him were cut in half.
Slash-!
Black blood splashed in all directions.
He turned his body slightly and dodged the blood; then ran forward.
“AAGGHH!!”
“Kill them!!”
Screams were heard from all directions.
Countless demonic monsters rushed toward the disarrayed Celestial Wolves.
Crack-!
At that moment, red chains spread out and cut through the demonic monsters.
A woman with short red hair kicked the body of a demonic monster and rushed forward.
“Where is that Kalgia bastard?!” Chae YeonJoo yelled.
ShiHoon raised his hands and pointed somewhere.
Remnants of a building turned into ruins.
A passageway leading underground was revealed.
Although it had been destroyed in an ambush, it used to be a place where one of the branches of the Demon Cult was located.
“I heard it’s over there.”
“Hngh, quite far.”
In reality, the distance wasn’t that far.
“Kiieekk!”
“Ugh, these bastards!”
Chae YeonJoo crossed her hands.
The chains that were spread away like a net covered the body of a demonic monster.
Tsss.
With the smell of burning flesh, smoke arose.
“Why are there so many demonic monsters…?” She asked in a surprised voice.
The thousands of demonic monsters made the way seem much longer than it actually was.
“They seem to be the last remaining forces of the Demon Cult.”
“Considering that, there aren’t any cultists…”
Chae YeonJoo narrowed her eyes and looked around.
Just like she said, there were only horrible-looking demonic monsters around them.
The cultists or Cardinals that controlled them couldn’t be seen anywhere.
Kim ShiHoon remained silent.
‘It’s definitely weird.’
It was weird that, despite there being so many demonic monsters, not one cultist was visible.
There were two possibilities he could think of…
‘They used the demonic monsters as bait to escape…’
Kim ShiHoon looked at the passageway where they said that Kalgia was.
‘Or they gathered the cultists together and are preparing something.’
He felt an ominous feeling on his back and believed it was probably the latter option.
‘There’s something…’
It was a guess based on feeling and not logic, but he became sure of it because of the ominous energy he could feel coming from the underground passageway.
He gripped his holy sword tighter.
“Ms. Chae YeonJoo…”
“Yes?”
“It will take too much time to advance after clearing everything up. I’ll go through the wave of demonic monsters.”
“What?”
Chae YeonJoo looked at Kim ShiHoon as if he were saying nonsense.
There were about 300 meters of distance to the passageway. There were easily over a thousand demonic monsters blocking their way.
‘He’s going to go through that?’
Was that something that someone right in their mind could say?
Whir-!
“Hey, wait! Are you really—?”
BOOM-!
Kim ShiHoon stomped on the ground.
Intense light spread through the surroundings.
“Th-that crazy bastard…!”
One step…
He swung his sword. The leg of a demonic monster that was more than three meters tall was cut, and the monster collapsed.
Two steps…
He stomped on its head and rose into the sky, holding his sword in a reverse grip as he smashed it down.
As if the gathered strength exploded, white sword aura spread and cut down the demonic monsters.
Three steps…
He squeezed his body through the gaps and leaped through a crowd of demonic monsters.
“Haa.”
He gripped the sword with both hands and raised it, and white light rose like a pillar.
“Celestial Dragon.”
He opened his mouth and pulled the qi from inside his dantian.
An explosive amount of light filled their field of vision.
“1st Form.”
BOOM-!!
The sword aura spread out for almost 30 meters and wiped out the demonic monsters.
About a hundred demonic monsters disappeared without a trace.
It was as if a mythological giant had swung their sword.
“Ha…”
“Wh-when did he get such strength…?” Cheon MooJin laughed in disbelief.
Chae YeonJoo’s mouth fell open.
To think that he’d be able to create a gap through more than a thousand demonic monsters…
It was a power that was hard to imagine came from a human. It was such an unbelievable state that it was better to call him a monster.
“There’s no time to hesitate! Now’s our chance!” he quickly shouted toward the troop members looking at him in disbelief.
The Celestial Wolves Troops members, who had finally returned to their senses, began rushing toward the road that Kim ShiHoon had opened.
“WAAAA!”
“Go through them!!”
They formed in a wedge shape with Kim ShiHoon at the forefront, cutting through the sea of demonic monsters with incredible ability in order to break through.
“Ugh!”
Kim ShIHoon frowned.
An incredible amount of demonic monsters were blocking their path.
‘Not enough.’
If he were alone, he’d somehow have been able to do it, but with the Celestial Wolves Troops, it was hard.
“Ms. YeonJoo! Master! Please, try to gather the elite players around here!”
“Ugh! But if we do that…”
Cheon MooJin made a troubled expression.
If only they went to the front and went through the demonic monsters, the other members would get surrounded.
“It’s okay,” Kim ShiHoon said while looking somewhere.
There were angels with white wings attacking the demonic monsters where he was looking.
“To those tainted by darkness!”
“Let light judge them!”
They were annihilating the demonic monsters.
Among them, Shargiel and a few angels went toward Kim ShiHoon.
“Where’s the enemy leader…?”
“Over here!”
Kim ShiHoon pointed to the underground passageway.
Chae YeonJoo, Cheon MooJin, and Shargiel turned toward the passageway.
The elites of the Celestial Wolves Troops and high-ranking angels worked together to pierce through the group of demonic monsters.
BOOM-!
* * *
The underground passageway crumbled.
A wide place appeared from the collapsed walls.
“Jajas, Jajas, Nastanada Jaja…”
“In-intruders!”
Hundreds of priests were doing some ceremony while wearing black robes.
Without hesitation, Kim ShiHoon rushed forward.
Slash-!
“Cough!”
“AGH!”
The priests were cut down at an incredible speed.
Kim ShiHoon started to feel anxious.
‘Something’s wrong.’
He didn’t know why the ceremony was being done by the hundreds of demon cultists, but there was something that was clear…
‘I cannot let them succeed.’
He was sure of it.
His steps became quicker, and he cut through priests blocking his way.
“You dirty demon worshippers!”
It was the same for Shargiel.
After sensing a chilling demonic energy, Shargiel opened his wings and flew toward the complex magic circle.
“Die!”
Shargiel flew toward the old man who seemed like he was leading the ceremony.
Kalgia raised his head.
“Hehehe.”
A chilling laugh came out.
He thumped on the ground with a crane.
BOOM-!
“Cough!”
Demonic energy spread in a circle, and Shargiel bounced away.
Shargiel’s body hit the wall as if he’d been hit with a giant hammer.
“Hehehe. Gaia’s subordinates and angels… What an interesting audience we have gathered here.”
Kalgia burst into laughter and turned around.
The huge amount of demonic energy coming out of him applied pressure on their surroundings.
“Ugh! Wh-what’s up with that bastard…?”
Chae YeonJoo frowned at the huge pressure being applied to her.
She was trying to control the red chains and attack Kalgia, but her body wasn’t listening anymore.
“Ugh!”
“M-my body…”
It was the same for the rest.
Because of the huge amount of demonic energy that was applying pressure on the surroundings, players and angels started to fall to the ground.
Slash-!
Among them, the only thing that could still move was Kim ShiHoon.
He cut through hundreds of the demon cultists and leaped forward.
“Stop him!”
“Make sure he can’t stop our ceremony!”
The cultists started to use black magic toward him.
Hundreds, thousands of black magics poured down on Kim ShiHoon.
“1st Form.”
He cut the black magic and advanced.
Every time he took a step forward, dozens of demon cultists fell.
BOOM-!
“Haa, haa…”
Even if he was strong, there was no way he’d be okay after being attacked by so much black magic.
The wounds on his body increased, and blood poured out of him.
‘Damn it.’
He bit his lip and glared at Kalgia.
For some reason, he had burst into laughter.
Then…
BOOM-!
“G-Guardian Kim ShiHoon!!”
“Ms. Gaia…?”
The wall collapsed, and Gaia appeared.
A middle-aged blonde woman could be seen carrying Gaia on her back.
Grace McCarbin had gone all the way there while carrying Gaia on her back.
Kim ShiHoon’s expression hardened at Gaia’s sudden appearance.
“It’s dangerous…”
“W-we must stop the ceremony!!!” Gaia shouted while making a pale expression.
“I… I received a revelation! Th-that person right now is trying to…!”
“Ha, hahaha!!!”
Kalgia burst into laughter.
“Gaia’s incarnation, it seems like you’ve finally realized it!”
He took something from his robe.
“It’s already too late! You cannot stop the ceremony!”
He held up a black book.
“I finally realized! We’ve been deceived all this time! We were deceived by the name ‘Satan’!”
He opened the book, and an intense amount of demonic energy came out.
“Woah, wooaahh!!”
“Oh, truth…!!”
“Finally, our true leader…!”
The priests, as if they’d lost their minds, knelt and laughed.
“What’s…”
Kim ShiHoon frowned at their sudden change in attitude.
Kalgia kept shouting.
“This book contains the entire truth! This book is a sacred book that came from Hell! The truth is written here!”
The book’s title was ‘Book of Hell’.
He shouted in a mad voice.
“Satan was the fake king! He wasn’t the Demon of Prophecy that even made the gods tremble in fear! There was another real demon, the ruler of Hell!!”
BOOM!
He smashed his crane into the ground.
“Come! Please, descend to this place!!”
A crack appeared in the air, and a black fissure appeared.
“Ruler of Hell! King of the demons that rules over the Hell of the Nine Skies!!!!”
CRACK!
The black fissure got bigger.
“HAHAHA!! IT’S ALREADY TOO LATE! YOU CANNOT STOP THE CEREMONY!”
He opened both arms and burst into laughter.
“See with your own eyes the moment the whole world is destroyed!”
CRACK!!
“Come, Demon of Prophecy! Follow that prophecy and destroy the world!!!”
BOOM-!!!
The entire place shook.
Smoke rose into the sky and sank.
In that place…
“Huh…?”
KangWoo appeared, laying on the sofa with a can of beer in one hand and popcorn in the other.
He opened his mouth while making an expression that looked like he’d just woken up.
“What the?”
He looked around.
His eyes widened.
“What the fuck is going on?”
