Chapter 571 – 571. Savior of the Academy
571. Savior of the academy
“See with your own eyes and admire with your soul. It is a heart of flame made from 20,000 human souls and 66 fire spirits.”
Hartung laughed with a face filled with joy.
Poo-wook.
A blade flew from somewhere and lodged in Hartung’s neck.
Hartung staggered back with his heavy body.
I was puzzled. And inadvertently used the moment. The world slowed down, giving me time to organize my thoughts.
‘A little earlier than planned. The plan was to kill Hartung when he was in high spirits as he stepped on people’s applause.’
It wasn’t Yuria’s attack that flew in and pierced Hartung’s neck. There was no way that Yuria could have attacked by simply throwing her sword like that. Yuria would have mainly used a dagger and made a surprise attack more stealthily and reliably.
I glanced up at the ceiling. The place where Yuria hides by covering her body with shadows and completely eliminating her presence.
‘The direction the sword flew was behind me.’
I moved my body.
The moment was released.
The people around me didn’t scream and looked at where the sword had come from. No one was there, screaming that they had witnessed a murder and panicking. Those clumsy bastards don’t get an invitation from Hartung in the first place.
‘Who is it?’
There was a man with a sword thrown. He was a man wearing a colorful red mask.
None of the people around stood out for Hartung. Rather, she kept her mouth shut and looked at the man with interest.
It doesn’t matter if Hartung is dead or not.
“Funny.”
Hartung’s voice came out. Even though his throat was pierced by a sword, he did not fall to the floor and spoke calmly. I feel an ominous aura from Hartung’s body. Those who had been unconcerned with this were startled and distanced themselves from Hartung.
“Stuffy bastard. You’re bluffing even after being hit by the holy sword. I know you’re the devil And I know that the body is the main body.”
“The Holy Sword? A crude sword like this?”
Hartung grabbed the sword stuck in his neck with his bare hand. The sword glows white and resists Hartung. But Hartung ignored whether the light attacked his body or not, and drew out his sword. The sword disappears in an instant.
Instead of blood, green brimstone fire fluttered from Hartung’s neck. His skin turns black like a volcanic field, and horns sprout from the top of his head.
“You look disgusting. You’ve done a lot in the human world, so you have to pay the price now.”
The red mask was not taken aback and created a sword in both hands. It looked just like the sword that had been lodged in Hartung’s neck.
Accelerate the accident by using the moment again.
‘That red mask…. I know who it is.’
Zen Height.
An S-class hero who works secretly without revealing his identity to the world. No At this point, there is a high possibility that it is not S-class yet.
He is a hero who specializes in killing demons. His nickname is Devil Hunter.
The characteristic he has is a ‘sacred sword (S+)’, which temporarily creates a holy sword and gives his body the ability of the holy sword.
Like the nickname Devil Hunter, it was a specialized ability to kill demons.
‘But why did he appear here? Among the original routes, there wasn’t any information about him messing around at Hartung’s party, right?’
The answer came easily.
That this world is now moving on a completely different route from the one in the original story.
‘Well, in the first place, Seong Ha-ri’s son does not exist. The original was twisted from the moment I was born.’
It was possible that the butterfly effect was now.
I turned off my nerves. If I think about it calmly, the current situation has benefited me. Using Zen’s power, Yuria should be able to deal with Hartung without using Limit Transcendence. Since I thought this way, Yuria must think that way too.
Limit transcendence is a last resort that can only be used for one minute. She will use Transcendence as much as possible later, when she has no choice but to kill Hartung.
‘Just then, everyone’s eyes turned to Hartung and Jen. Great. Because my job is to steal the heart.’
Hwasim was nailed in the air and burning herself, even when she fell from her hand in Hartung.
It was the moment I approached 5m towards Hartung.
Yuria moved.
Dark shadows rise from the ceiling and the ground and attack Hartung.
“What?”
Hartung, who was concentrating on Jen, was helplessly attacked by a shadow. And the shadow hand grabbed the fire heart and threw it at me.
He caught the flying heart with his right hand. You feel the heat in your hand. I wondered if my hand was burning, but the hand I checked with my own two eyes was fine.
‘Shit.’
Spirit eye was forcibly activated. Both eyes were cold.
‘It’s a rejection reaction. The original plan was for me to absorb Hwasim. Seeing that the spirit eye was activated… Is it a problem that 66 fire spirits are made of?’
According to the original work, there were a total of three ways to use Hwasim. Absorb it, use it as a material for weapons or armor, or sell it to someone.
‘In an instant.’
The third moment was used. I put Hwa Shim in my inventory and ran away with all my might.
“Her. Now I see that they are thieves. How many years have you been through this? After 40 years?”
Hartung’s voice echoed from behind. Glancing at him, he saw Hartung, still intact after being attacked. Yuria appeared with a shadow wrapped around her body to hide her true identity. A dagger was in her hand. Black auras sway from the blade.
“There were many thieves who stole my things. Then, all of them cut off their hair from their hands and feet and took them to the warmest place in the inferno. Flaw… Come to think of it, I think I’ll be happy to serve the thieves for the first time in a while.”
Green fire soars through Hartung’s body. His fat body turned into a giant over 3m tall.
I confirmed that this entire cruise ship is the domain of Hartung. It can’t escape.
And I felt that he was watching me.
‘I never thought I would throw away my pride and show off my abilities to the fullest. Harteng is more important than I thought.’
I took the space travel spell book out of my pocket and tore it up. There was no reaction.
‘Fuck! Is it because of the influence of Harteng’s authority?!’
A cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
“Give me the heart of fire. Then I will have mercy and take you to a less warm place.”
Hartung tried to stride toward me, but YuRia and Zen attacked him at the same time. Surprisingly, the sum of the two is correct.
‘Yuria must have given instructions to Zen by telephony.’
I stopped running away.
Even when I went outside, I couldn’t take my eyes off him. More than anything else, this cruise ship has its subordinates. Seeing him do everything in his power because of his anger, it seems that he would give orders to his men right away if he ran away now.
“You damn devil…. The title of duke is not form. I never thought I would be able to demonstrate this level of power in the human world.”
“You deserve recognition just because you didn’t burn in my hellfire. Look, they can’t stand my hellfire and let out a good scream.”
The ones burning were the spectators who had been here until now, the guests invited by Hartung. Some escaped, but most others were burning in the green hellfire.
‘The reason I won’t die is because of my heart.’
If YuRia waits for Hartung’s opening and uses Limit Transcendence like this….
‘For a moment.’
YuRia and Jen were getting pushed behind.
Zen’s holy sword barely slashed through Har-Tung’s black skin, and Yuria’s shadow couldn’t even get close to Har-Tung’s burning body. The only thing Yuria can damage is the black thunderbolt that she occasionally uses. But even that can’t inflict fatal wounds.
‘Isn’t this bastard getting stronger?!’
Dump. Dump.
Hartung’s slaves nearby fall. The strong ones are falling one after another.
I immediately figured out what was going on.
‘A sacrifice. They’re using contracted slaves as sacrifices.’
Hartung, unlike the original, abandoned arrogance. At first, it was pretty big that he missed the moment he was careless. If YuRia had transcended her limits at that time….
‘No. I don’t know because there is an offering.’
I didn’t know that the obsession with Hwasim would be this much.
“Is reconciliation that important?”
“200 years. The Heart of Fire was created after 200 years of trial and error. With it, you can remove some of the restrictions and enjoy life in the human world more freely.”
“Even now, a subject that is playing freely, but one greed is filthy.”
“There is no end to the longing for freedom. Aren’t you humans too? Well. Is this the limit for the output that can be produced as a sacrifice?”
Har Thung he swung her fist. Her battered Zen soared into the night sky with the ceiling. In the aftermath, Yuria was swept away and rolled on her floor. Her blood runs down YuRia’s face.
I clicked her tongue briefly.
-Master. I will use Transcend Limit. The power of hellfire is not compatible with my shadow. It’s hard to deal with in one minute, but I think I can send you the master. I’ll send you a signal, so have your order book ready.
“Done.”
I stood tall
“Thinking about it. I have to kill the Mckin kid too, but it would be absurd to run away from a kid like this.”
Hartung, who was moving toward me, stopped. The guy took an interest in me.
“Meckin? Are you talking about the fifth corps commander? It is shocking that the aspirations of a young thing are so great. A thief what is your name?”
I looked around.
The only people alive here were me and Yuria. You’re right in saying you’re keeping it alive.
“Sung Yujin. He is a man protected by the judiciary.”
Haha. What a funny guy. He remembers the name.”
I took the hearth out of my inventory. The two eyes forcibly open the spirit eyes. Hwasim was still hot. There was no such thing as a miracle that the rejection reaction suddenly disappeared.
“I never thought you would give me your heart so easily. What a disappointment.”
“Who said it was for you? I will use this.”
Hartung’s lips parted. Its sharp teeth were burning with green light.
“Something like you? I’ll wait Do it if you can.”
Hartung’s arrogance returned. From his point of view, the situation has already been sorted out. In his eyes, I’d only see a wriggling earthworm.
“I might kill you in an instant, so tell me in advance.”
“I like hearing the will of the deceased. Tell me.”
“You were angry.”
Genius time was used.
The anger was no longer hot. The rejection reaction is gone. However, absorption is impossible. There is no way that he could absorb all of Hwasim during the time of genius.
I first used mana to resonate with the heart, and used the spirit contract skill.
‘I will give you peace in exchange for the contract. Those who want to have resentment, come out right away.’
Since you used the heart of fire, the fire spirit will come out.
This is a cruise ship floating on the sea, but there is no problem. Because there are volcanoes under the sea.
Even if they were dozens of kilometers away, a fire spirit of the highest rank would be able to feel it.
‘Connected.’
– No contract.
Immediately after hearing the rocky voice, a giant turtle made of red lava appeared in front of me.
“Damn it! You think you’re going to hand over the heart of fire to some kind of spirit!”
Surprised by the appearance of the highest level spirit, Harpung hurriedly bursts into a roar and rushes towards it. But it was too late. Even before they appeared, my contract with the lava turtle was complete.
The lava turtle laughed at Hartung and swallowed his anger.
‘Come.’
Only 8 seconds had passed. The time of genius is maintained.
‘The Spirit Code!’
A lava turtle creeps into me.
A huge presence is felt.
Lava turtle.
This kid wasn’t a good guy. If I had a little bit of conscience, I wouldn’t have entered my body without a moment’s hesitation. Common sense tells me that almost 100% I will die without being able to handle it.
‘If I die, I’m going to eat only resentment and disappear. It’s a spirit I like very much. I’ll be sure to remember this.’
I feel a huge presence and power within me.
No more, no less.
My body was burning red. But it wasn’t hot. Currently, I have become a spirit due to the Spirit Code. At first glance, the flames seem to burn my body, but in fact they are protecting my body. This flame is my strength.
