Chapter 279

“I don’t think I will lose . ”

With a whipping sound, Muyoung dodged in between the blades . However, he could not avoid them all . He stretched his wings and held the lance of Gabriel .

Muyoung had separated Lucifer and Gabriel’s powers . As he swung his lance, the heightened wind pressure pushed the closest blades away from him .

2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64… 128!

He accelerated sequentially rather than all at once . Muyoung’s speed increased exponentially, and when he accelerated 128 times, he could escape from the blade storm .

However, Amon was the master of magic . He had already implemented his next move the moment he felt something was wrong .

‘Vapor explosion . ’

Countless waterdrops filled the air . Amon added his magic to the tiny particles of water that could not be seen by the eye, magically separating the oxygen and hydrogen to make explosives .

Muyoung was at a disadvantage because no matter how fast he accelerated, there were no gaps in the explosive fog .

‘I’m doing it anyway . ’

He could retreat . However, Muyoung pushed through . Acceleration was not a skill that could be used for long . Moreover, he had to finish this battle with Amon as quickly as possible . Muyoung’s goal was to reach him .

He just needed to touch him to take the next step .

With a whirring noise, the waterdrops began to spin . While they looked like slow motion to Muyoung, the problem was that there was no gap in the coverage . Muyoung covered himself with his wings and flew across the air .

With blasting noises, explosions followed Muyoung everywhere . Muyoung’s black wings became tattered . If it was a normal wound, Muyoung could it heal with ‘holy blessing,’ but Amon’s magic was strange . It adhered to Muyoung’s body to block regeneration or healing .

‘He attacked my weakest points . ’

Muyoung could not expect constant regeneration like when he was attacked by the Crimson Balrog . However, Amon was nearby .

Amon sensed that Muyoung was coming at lightning speed . He made his next move in a flash .

Crunch!

Muyoung twisted his leg as an ice lance had pierced it . While pain rolled into him, Muyoung did not try to remove the lance . He shrunk the space between them again to approach Amon .

Muyoung grabbed Amon’s shoulders and cancelled his acceleration . It was not for attack .

“It will open to those who knock . ”

It was Ars Nova, the book containing the Language of Miracles .

Amon’s eyes shook when he heard the prayer .

“How do you know that prayer…?”

No one believed that the self-named ‘archangel’ had the Ars Nova . Amon did not believe it, but now he knew it was true .

Did Ars Nova also lift the geis from Enroth? Amon tried to resist, but Muyoung was a step faster .

Shirrr!

Light flooded from Muyoung’s eyes and connected with Amon’s . This prayer performed the miracle of opening someone’s ‘soul . ’ Even though it mercilessly drained him, Muyoung braced himself .

‘I see it . ’

Muyoung saw Amon’s soul . They were now connected as Muyoung opened the door . Muyoung then entered the real ‘battle’ .

‘Art of Death . ’

It was not to make Amon an undead, which was impossible in the first place . No one with ‘Divinity’, could become undead . Since an undead is an incomplete being, it is incompatible with a Divine Being who aims for perfection .

So why was this a fight? It had to do with Amon’s ‘annihilation condition . ’

‘Amon has to be involved in a phenomenon he cannot understand . ’

Amon is the master of magic and has perfect confidence in himself . Therefore, he tries to understand and solve everything . This is how he earned the title Master of Magic .

Ars Nova?

While it was called the miraculous prayer, it was still an extension of magic . Amon could understand this phenomenon . However, if Amon was ruled even for a moment by the power Muyoung wielded?

Amon would be truly connected with Muyoung at that moment and would taste the chaos in Muyoung . He would not be able to understand at all who Muyoung is, and how Muyoung ruled over him!

It only needed to work for a moment, for less than one-tenth of a second . Muyoung had to rule over Amon for that time . It was Muyoung’s last desperate gamble made with his final Trump card, the spell of Ars Nova, and the only hope he had in this inescapable situation .

It was a battle of wills, and Muyoung began to shed bloody tears . Blood flowed from every oriface he had . Muyoung’s soul was much weaker than a Demon God’s soul, and Amon as a Seeker had a much firm soul than other Demon Gods .

‘Is it impossible?’

Muyoung was losing the battle of wills, and he clenched his teeth . He could not step back . Souls were striking against each other dangerously, and Muyoung’s soul might disintegrate under the onslaught .

However, at that moment, where their souls are almost intermingled, Amon’s expression changed .

“You…time…!”

Amon seemed astonished, even more than he did when Muyoung used Ars Nova . However, this change made a crack, and Muyoung’s soul rose up to win within the time necessary for a single heartbeat .

Amon was under Muyoung’s control for seven seconds . His eyes clouded for a moment .

‘I did it . ’

Muyoung rushed to the next step . Seven seconds were more than the time he had expected . It was enough to carve an absolute mandate on his soul, although Muyoung could not use a Command Amon would resist instinctively .

“Only act for yourself . ”

Muyoung’s words implied that Amon was the master of magic, who analyzed and solved all . If things were normal, he would never follow anyone, fear anyone, and would walk for only his own good .

Only act for yourself .

Muyoung had removed the bolt that locked what Amon had unconsciously wanted, so it would be enough .
