Chapter 173: Wung Chunglin (3)

Translation: Tay

Edit: Lesurous

The vestal saw .

The destruction of the world . The end…

Everything was dark . In the end, nothing remained .

Humanity had already been exterminated and what happened afterwards could be compared to the Big Bang that began creation .

No one wanted such a future .

However, the vestal saw a small light in the darkness .

Yes, it was truly a small light .

However, the vestal was able to realize that the existence of the light was Muyoung .

The problem was that the light was very weak . It was brighter than any other, but compared to the darkness that had come for the world, it was the light of a firefly .

‘The light is wandering . ’

Muyoung didn’t know his own worth .

He only had a vague idea about it . .

That shouldn’t be . More than anything, the light that illuminated the world had to be straightforward .

The vestal saw all the past events .

And the shadow snuck a look at all the vestal’s recollections and visions .

There it learned about Muyoung and also his related facts .

‘That fellow isn’t like my disciples, Vestal . ’

The shadow rose up to the ceiling and looked down at the altar .

The vestal was on her knees praying continuously .

Bastard . Muyoung wasn’t the shadow’s disciple or anything of the sort .

But then again, the shadow was someone that didn’t exist .

He was a being that stayed behind someone’s back and moved based on their ambition .

Furthermore… as the vestal saw, Muyoung was shining .

Shadows didn’t shine .

‘Didn’t you silently wish for me to do this? I also felt this in your memories and in your heart . ’

The vestal denied it, but the shadow knew .

That the vestal hoped that the shadow would become a trial itself and force Muyoung to ‘choose’ .

She had tried to contact the shadow for that one purpose in the first place!

She was hoping… ‘ he would be the ‘catalyst’ so that the light can proceed in the right direction . ’

In other words, the shadow was an essential obstacle for Muyoung to surpass .

However, the shadow had no intention of making Muyoung into the sun .

‘Muyoung, you are the light, but you have the disposition of a shadow like me . ’

Rather, like himself, he wanted Muyoung to become a deeper shadow .

So first, he took care of it himself .

He sent other shadows to people who were associated with Muyoung .

The vestal had seen the future, but she didn’t know everything .

She didn’t know that Muyoung had the qualities for becoming an even deeper darkness than the shadow himself .

No, perhaps she was pretending not to know .

Furthermore, the vestal said that the shadow would lose .

However, the shadow had no intention of engaging in even a simple armed fight in the first place .

This was a battle of whether Muyoung would become darkness or light .

If he became darkness, the shadow would be victorious and if he became light it would be the vestal’s victory .

And Muyoung’s victory?

Muyoung would be victorious either way .

Because he had no choice but to be victorious .

From the start, he had the qualities to become anything .

‘Amazing . ’

The shadow couldn’t remember being as emotional as this .

It seemed that perhaps the vestal’s memories and emotions had been assimilated when he peeked at them .

There he had seen Muyoung and found out more about him than Muyoung knew about himself .

Such as Muyoung’s real name and even what he did on Earth .

So the shadow was curious .

‘What would you do if you were confronted with the truth?’

Something he had never experienced before .

Even the shadow was extremely interested in the outcome that would arise .

Rumble rumble!

The cave shook .

Enormous giant statues moved and blocked Muyoung .

“Diabolos!”

“We offer you our bodies!”

The heretics used the ‘Self Sacrifice’ spell .

The bodies of the heretics melted and soon flowed into the giants .

They became the material that moved the giants .

The Self Sacrifice spell was a great magical spell that could only be used once b someone serving a god .

The god was able to amplify his ability to influence the world and create something close to a miraculous event .

About a hundred heretics gave their lives for the Self Sacrifice spell .

The five giants gained superhuman strength .

Kwang! Kwareureung!

A strong energy surrounded the giants .

They had fire, water, wind, earth and metal energy respectively .

‘Blink . ’

Muyoung travelled a short distance in a flash .

The ‘Blink’ ability on Isaac’s Boots .

Because he could move indefinitely if his destination was visible, it didn’t take much to avoid a large attack .

In a flash, Muyoung, who had moved behind one of the giants’ necks, brandished Anguish .

Crack!

The rock was split .

However, it regenerated in an instant .

This was because there was the strength of 20 lives sacrificed added to each giant .

“Tch . ”

Muyoung briefly clicked his tongue .

While coming this far he had already fought hundreds of monsters .

Fatigue was accumulating little by little .

“The enemy is alone! Assist the giants!”

The priests of darkness came out in droves .

Muyoung frowned .

If he confronted them head-on, even Muyoung would not survive .

Neiiiggghhhhh!

A horse’s leg was severed .

“Ramiella!”

Ramiella fell from her horse .

Seraphina instantly approached Ramiella while wielding a sword .

Ramiella’s First Knight had already become a corpse after being defeated .

Because of the shadow, he had died protecting Ramiella .

“Mulalan… cannot lose . ”

Ramiella kept repeating as her face went pale .

Mulalan was pride . The god they served was absolute .

They must never be defeated by evil .

However, the ‘evil’ before them had neutralized even the power of their god .

Rather, they had snorted and tried to absorb even that power .

They had never been so helpless . Mulalan was the icon of justice and all mankind .

“You have to retreat, Ramiella . ”

Seraphina persuaded Ramiella .

If they retreated now, it would be possible to at least protect the minimum number of people .

But Ramiella shook her head .

She put her hand on the ground, got up, and grabbed her bow again .

“There is no longer anywhere to retreat to . If we retreat here, their power will grow even stronger . ”

Ramiella seemed to have made up her mind .

However, it was hard to regain the momentum that had already been lost .

Everytime the bone dragon exhaled, thousands of priests melted .

The paladin’s shields and armor also melted easily .

‘My god…!’

Everyone called on their god .

Seraphina was the same .

However, they couldn’t win . Even so, she couldn’t go and leave Ramiella behind .

Seraphina raised her sword again .

And the moment she ran towards the shadows and the bone dragon…

Kwaaaaaang!

A huge typhoon formed in the sky .

Soon, a black sphere fell to the ground and swallowed everything up like a black hole .

A divine bolt of lightning struck the surroundings and burned up many of the undead .

‘What the hell?’

Something that happened suddenly .

Seraphina turned her head .

Soon, she could see two horses .

A hellhorse and a unicorn!

There were other undead joining them .

‘Undead attacking undead…’

It was a situation she was seeing for the first time, and Seraphina was dumbfounded .

In that situation, someone burst out from the ground .

“Please do not worry . We are servants of Muyoung-nim . ”

“…A lich!”

Seraphina took a step backwards .

A strong evil energy was flowing out of the man before her .

However, a similarly strong divine power could also be felt .

“We are Muyoung-nim’s servants . ”

The man said again .

Then Seraphina opened her eyes widely .

Gael was a fabricated alias . The angel’s name was Muyoung . Seraphina knew him .

“Please relax . ”

The man, Bae Sungmin, picked up his staff .

Kwang! Kwang! Kwang!

When he pointed the staff repeatedly, explosions occurred here and there around him .

When he used his other hand, the fallen people in the surroundings began to be healed .

The enemy undead couldn’t absorb Bae Sungmin’s divine powers .

Seeing that, Seraphina shuddered .

Up until now, she had half-disbelieved the prophecy .

‘The person with black wings will destroy the world . ’

One more thing had been added after that .

‘The one with the white wings will save the world with his servants . ’

Kwang!

The sword that tried to pierce his neck was stopped .

“You’re right on time . ”

Kim Taehwan opened his eyes, which had been closed .

A man made of bone and a vampire covered in a cloak were side by side .

It was precisely Tacan and Calla .

They stopped the shadow’s attack and began to talk to each other .

“Teleport?”

“I just imitated it . Without your magic it would have been difficult to travel this distance . ”

Tacan shrugged his shoulders .

He hadn’t been sure if it would work, but it seemed to have turned out well .

“You weren’t just stealing swordsmanship? There’s nothing like a thief, huh?”

“In any case, that bastard Muyoung made me and it seems he added even more skills . Anyway, you calling me a thief is not nice to hear . ”

Calla clicked his tongue .

Tacan could steal the majority of the skills he saw .

This was also true for the Teleport skill that Alexandro Quintart used .

On the other hand, there was no way to steal Muyoung’s acceleration or ability to read grains .

Tacan spoke shortly to Calla .

“Also, this is a secret . This is a trump card I’ve saved to beat that bastard . ”

The person he called a bastard was Muyoung .

Tacan’s goal had already become Muyoung .

“Do as you wish . However… he is an extremely sinister man . ”

Calla turned his head to look at the shadow .

The shadow had slipped into position and had finished preparing to attack .

When he used his Teleport skill to the place where Muyoung’s magic was the most strongly entangled, he arrived at the current situation .

Tacan secretly looked Kim Taehwan over .

“Let’s end this quickly . He’s going to die soon . ”

“If he dies, can’t I just take him and turn him into an undead?”

“Muyoung wants him to be alive . ”

“He does?”

Calla asked, as if caught by surprise .

Why did Muyoung, who used the dead, want with a living person?

Tacan shook his head .

“Muyoung wants the warmth . ”

That was the conclusion Tacan had come to .

They dug into the cave .

They ruthlessly cut down anyone in their way .

‘Should I help you?’

Luciferre, who was existing inside Muyoung, whispered .

This was the first time that Luciferre, who had been quiet up until now, made a proposal .

‘I will do it alone . ’

However, Muyoung shook his head .

Anguish became even bloodier .

Luciferre jeered .

It was foolish to go all the way to the end of this cave without his help .

Muyoung was also fully aware of that fact .

However, Muyoung would never give up .

When Muyoung finally reached the end of the cave, Luciferre had no choice but to stop jeering .

Diabolo’saltar .

At that place, there was a woman on her knees praying .

Black and white wings coexisting .

With his entire body covered in wounds, Muyoung looked at the scene .

“You’re finally here . ”

The vestal slowly rose from her prayer .

Her face was no different from Muyoung’s memory .

If there was a difference, it could be said that she looked a little bit more mature .

“Snow…”

The vestal smiled sadly .

“You have passed every trial . In the end, you chose the correct path . You saved your colleagues and didn’t refuse to come all this way . ”

“Are you saying you planned everything?”

“Please calm your anger . Everything was for your sake . Furthermore, you should know it . The future that will happen . ”

“The future…”

Muyoung laughed .

With this, he was certain .

She could see the future . Perhaps, she had also returned like Muyoung .

And she knew more than Muyoung did .

“The world had been destroyed . Because of the 72 Demon Gods and the false gods . In the Underworld, angels and true gods don’t exist . Isn’t it a fact that you knew all this and turned away? Even the divine power that the priests of Mulalan use is not the power of a true god either . ”

The vestal reached out her hands .

Soon, their surroundings changed and the future destruction of the world was displayed .

The whole universe disappeared . A world where all but utter darkness existed .

“I have seen it . You would have seen it to some extent as well . Because we had the same ‘dream’ . ”

“Dream?”

“Yes, like me, you only had a dream that was a little long . ”

Snow was thinking of the past that Muyoung had suffered as a ‘dream’ .

But Muyoung never dismissed it as a dream .

It was a torturous reality .

Even if he wanted to avoid it, he couldn’t .

But she called it a dream .

Muyoung thought of the Snow of the past .

Everything had been in a veil .

However, Snow had been Muyoung’s target for assassination .

Because of this, he’d watched Snow closer than anyone .

The Snow of the past had been extremely practical and devoted .

To the end, Snow had been the one moving to help even if it was for only one person .

As he came all this way, he kept having doubts .

“However, you too will know now . In the end, you can’t save everyone . No matter how much you try to, you have limits . If I help you, you will be able to burn with an even brighter light . ”

She, who had been so devoted to mankind, had reached out to evil .

She had dismissed the entire past she had suffered as a dream and was trying to create a completely different path .

He couldn’t save everyone?

Now that he was face to face with the vestal, he knew .

“You’re not really Snow . ”

Swoong!

Muyoung pulled out Anguish .
