Chapter 674

Episode 674 The Spirit King’s Choice:

An endless abyss.

I don’t know how much time has passed since even my consciousness became blurred.

I have lived solely for the sake of countless spirits, and I pledged to live again.

Although it required a lot of sacrifice and effort, I have never once regretted that decision.

To stick to what you believe in.

To ensure that countless spirits have a peaceful tomorrow.

If I could fulfill my pride and duty as a Spirit King, that was enough.

but.

The peace that had lasted for a long time was shattered at some point.

Those called Nyarlathotep and the Returners.

As they invaded the spirits’ realm, everything was plunged into darkness.

I feel resentful.

It’s so sad and miserable.

A desperate feeling of helplessness.

The weight of reality, which could not be overturned no matter how hard I struggled, weighed down my entire body.

In the time spent in a nightmare like that. I thought I would give up everything and live forever as a puppet that just silently follows what they tell me.

Ugh!

Warm light gently caressed my dark-stained eyes.

“Ah…”

The dark red veins that had spread throughout the stag’s body quickly disappeared.

When reason returned, everything began to look like before.

“It was close.”

Jinhyuk let out a long sigh.

If it had been just a little bit later, Raibolt’s second attack would have been allowed.

“Is that so? “You made me…”

Rybolt’s eyes turned to Jinhyeok.

The warm feelings are conveyed as is.

He was filled with gratitude towards his benefactor who saved him.

For a moment, I felt an evil magical power above my head.

Clemence moved to eliminate Rybolt and Jinhyeok, who had escaped his control.

[The unique ability ‘Ancient Barrier’ is activated!]

[The twelve signs of the zodiac. ‘Scorpio’ is now open!]

The Scorpion’s protection is unleashed by squeezing out what little magical power is left.

A huge black scorpion that appeared above Jinhyeok’s head took Clemence’s attack with its back.

Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak!

There was a shock that shook the heavens and earth.

Even though I had opened the barrier, it felt like my whole body was being crushed by Mount Tai.

“For now… I think we should avoid it.”

Jinhyuk barely managed to control his staggering body.

Now that the first goal has been achieved, we need to regroup and make a plan to deal with that plant witch.

however.

“Unfortunately, I don’t think we can both get out of this situation. “It looks like you need recovery too, but I’m also not in a normal state.”

Rybolt shook his head on the spot.

Are you really telling me to sacrifice myself just because you barely survived?

Why do you want to talk about the future of the spirit world or something?

If that were the case…

I was thinking of ripping off the antler on top of my head and selling it for a high price.

“It would be hard for any of us to run away from that guy. In that case… I will help you fight once again.”

Jinhyuk removed the force from his hand.

Hmm.

Did you have any doubts?

I guess not everyone in the world has a black conscience.

A pure white crystal came out of the stag’s mouth.

This?

An earthquake occurred in Jinhyuk’s pupils.

There’s no way you wouldn’t know.

How could you not know?

A heart that all spirit kings have. What has come out that is not an exaggeration to say is your very existence?

[The Spirit King of Light, Raibolt, bestows the ‘Spirit King’s Mark’.]

[All spirits will trust and follow the one who holds this mark, and the Spirit Kings who preside over the five major elements will also remember Raibolt’s will and beliefs. ]

And the fact that this came out…

Jinhyuk’s expression became even more solemn.

This is because I realized what Rybolt was planning to do from now on.

“Darkness is coming. “Even our species that loves order and balance will not be able to escape that darkness.”

so.

“You will save my clan on my behalf.”

Are you asking me to protect the spirits in return for your sacrifice?

I thought it was like Raibolt to think of his clan more than himself until the very end.

“You are trying to entrust me with a burden that is too heavy. “I’m not that great of a person.”

“You are even humble as you fight against those who could not even defeat you. Don’t feel pressured. Although our meeting was brief, I was able to know what kind of person you were through the energy of our children ingrained in you.”

Rybolt read the unique magical power of the spirit emanating from Jinhyeok.

They discovered the five spirit special forces belonging to the Stagnant Water Corporation.

“Those guys…”

“Of course, they might not have cared for the spirits like I do.”

As if guessing his intention, Rybolt added a word.

“Whatever the cause and effect. The reason those children follow you is probably because you value spirits. Even if you don’t even realize it.”

After finishing speaking, Rybold looked at the sky again.

Kukukukukuku!

A huge storm was gathering in the sky.

Now that even Scorpio’s protection had disappeared, there was no way to stop that attack.

An indescribable energy rose along Rybolt’s body.

[Rybolt activates the special skill ‘Declaration of Sacrifice’!] A

declaration of sacrifice that is activated only when the Spirit King throws away everything he has accumulated and everything he can accumulate in the future.

A dazzling flash of light flashed, and something strange occurred in the canyon.

“Keeeeee?”

“Krrr…!?”

The eyes of the infected fairies returned to their original state.

[The unclaimed shadow sapling is greatly distressed!]

[The primordial power is weakened by 30%!]

[People on other floors are aware of the current situation!]

[The four spirit kings respond to the call of the system!]

One after another . Status window that appears.

Originally, plants on the 50th floor did not fully bloom on other floors. This is because only by absorbing Azathoth’s nutrients could he fully demonstrate his power.

So this situation is an exception among exceptions.

It is nothing more than a prank created by the Great Mage to create an anomaly.

This means that there is a high possibility that a hole will be created by the noble and powerful magic. Like right now.

[People on other floors are aware of the current situation!]

[The four Spirit Kings respond to the call of the system!]

Damn it!

The sky split like a turtle shell.

Just like when I summoned the true spirit of the sweet potato in the past.

And the surprise was so great that even Clemence could recognize it right away.

“what…!?”

Clemence was the flagship after seeing the crack that appeared in the air.

The loss of Rybolt and the fairies is just dumbfounding, but he never thought that the confrontation he had laid out would be ruined.

What is the meaning of the strength gained by sacrificing one’s body to this cursed sapling?

My vision turned white due to the futility and resulting anger.

Whirling!

The tips of the vines turned sharp and shot straight into the sky.

Purple rays emanated like crazy from the bizarre flowers growing in the center of the tree.

Truly carpet bombing.

Absurd attacks continued one after another, as if they were saying they would erase the crack itself.

Right at that moment.

Pogrrrr…!

A blue wind overlaid the barrier made of water droplets.

The Water Spirit and Igrit.

Wingracea, the spirit king of the wind.

Two Spirit Kings specializing in defense and healing appeared.

Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!

The purple lights were blocked by the shield and bounced off in different directions.

[Earth Spirit King ‘Madmunta’ activates ‘Earth Barrier’!]

Kukukukukuku!

The ground rose and a 100m high wall was created.

[Yotleam’s canyon communicates with the spirit kings!]

[This area is transformed into a ‘special sanctuary’!]

Kukukukuk!

Plants resist and light dispels darkness.

The entire staircase began to resist the primordial power.

“Ribold….”

“Did you fight alone?”

The four spirit kings looked at Raibolt’s body.

And then he looked at Rybolt’s belongings in Jinhyeok’s hands.

The person who tried to protect Rybolt until it disappeared. If you are such a person, you must continue that will.

“I’ll have to listen to the story later.”

Wingracia gazed at the devastated canyon and the giant sapling.

“As the situation is a situation, for now, let’s follow that person’s command.”

“i get it. “Let’s do that.”

The first priority is to heal Jinhyeok, who is covered in wounds. The soft water and wind gently embraced Jinhyuk’s whole body.

[The magic power consumed by the spirit kings’ protection is restored.]

‘Hoo.’

Jinhyuk opened his eyes wide.

It is much more effective than ‘Star’s Protection’ or ‘Mandala’. Well, the Spirit Kings were directly sending magical power.

Slam!

Billy the Kid’s teeth clicked together gently.

Pachichik!

The anticipation of the First Blade has also become sharper, just like the first time.

If these conditions are met, the story is completely different.

The corners of Jinhyuk’s mouth twitched.

Unexpected luck happened simultaneously.

Then, I quickly took note of my expression.

Still, even though the noble spirit king had made a sacrifice, the funeral home could not cheer like usual.

‘Anyway, I need to manage my image well.’

Be as sad and sorrowful as possible.

It is best to take an attitude of concern for the safety of Raibolt and the spirits rather than for individual benefit.

“I am just an insignificant individual. That’s why I didn’t want to get involved in a big fight that would determine the fate of the species.”

but.

“That said, I have no intention of turning down even the last request of someone who values order and balance in this tower.”

A trembling voice and tightly closed lips.

The area around my eyes was already moist.

“To never repeat this tragedy again. Please join me.”

Jinhyeok sought help from the spirit kings.

***

Rattling.

Eden, who was hiding behind a tree, trembled slightly.

The harsh experience and training I had accumulated so far disappeared due to the overwhelming fear.

fundamental fear.

Standing in front of an absolute being that no matter how hard it tried, it could not escape, the little creature could only pray to survive.

The man squatted down in front of Ethan.

Then he smiled brightly and patted his shoulder.

“Don’t be so scared. “Because I know full well what a difficult situation you are in.”

“yes?”

“It will be difficult. “It must be absurd that I just received one request, but everything got so twisted and twisted that I ended up here.”

Could the saying, “a shrimp’s back explodes in a whale fight” be more fitting than this?

The supporting actors who appeared briefly in the great thread of fate were to be rolled over, used, and then abandoned.

It is said to be force majeure.

furthermore.

“Actually, he was the one who created that whole situation, right?”

And all my colleagues died.

Eden is trapped in this hellish situation and is shaking.

If you think about it, it’s because they are all related to a person named Jinhyeok.

“So let me make a suggestion.”

The man handed several items to Ethan.

“What… is this?”

“Some seasoning to make this fight a little more fun.”

It looks like the Spirit Kings have been summoned, so Clemence is bound to be at a slight disadvantage.

A fight where the winner is decided is no fun to watch.

It’s time to add a few variables to balance things out.
