Chapter 310

〈 Enemy of the World (2) 〉

A brilliant brilliance that oppresses the entire body in an instant.

The sunset-colored divine power surrounding the body of the Beoncheonhoeju was fading away, and his long, stretched wings began to crumple.

‘how?’

There was no time to resist.

As if he had known from the beginning when he would appear at that location, the entire ritual had already been completed by the time he crossed space and arrived at his destination.

He resisted the pressure pressing down on his body and quickly glanced around in all directions.

A clear sense of hostility was conveyed from those who were staring straight at him while reciting prayers with their mouths.

-[Uninvited stranger. You are an invader of a world that will never be welcome. [Keep in mind]

Why?

At that time, Hahoetal’s last words before leaving came to mind in Beoncheonhoeju’s mind.

-[There is no place for you on this earth.]

The thoughts of countless crowds lined up in an orderly manner united as one and took shape.

My body, which had become light as if freed from shackles, became restricted by even more restrictions than before, and movement became difficult, as if I was sinking into the deep sea.

‘This can’t go on.’

Something is wrong.

But there was no time to think in detail about how this happened.

A sharp sense of crisis stimulated the mind of Beoncheonhoeju, and he quickly devised a response plan.

‘Break the restraints before they become stronger.’

The decision made in the moment was put into action almost immediately.

He was able to quickly read Shin Seong-jin’s structure under pressure that was constricting his entire body, and was able to identify the points that were the center of consciousness everywhere.

Soon, he aimed for those places and waved his right hand for a long time.

Kuuung—

The power of space that is activated purely through his unique skill, separate from the sunset-colored sacred power that Buncheonhoeju handles.

The gravity around the target area soared rapidly, and the expressions on the faces of those standing there all turned pale.

Thanks to the force field that protected the participants in the ritual, they were able to avoid being turned into flat rats, but of course there were bound to be limits to that.

Quad Deuk –

The force of space collapse penetrated the gap in the force field weakened by the pressure of gravity.

And it immediately sank its teeth into the high-ranking priests who were stationed at the strategic point of Shinseongjin—.

Quang!

“No way!”

“Lord!”

Before it could achieve its goal, it was completely destroyed by the Holy Knights who suddenly appeared.

Buncheonhoeju’s eyebrows twitched.

Even though Shin Seong-jin’s power was drastically reduced, blocking his attacks that directly interfered with space was not something anyone could do.

Besides, wasn’t this move a rather elaborate move on his part?

Feeling uncomfortable, his gaze turned to the seven paladins who had blocked his attack.

A shimmering aura burned in their bodies as they slowly came to the front, as if their bodies were on fire.

“Be alert. “The level of heresy is higher than you think.”

“Even in Shin Seong-jin, it’s that bad… If you try to crack it, your head will be blown off in an instant.”

“As the saint said, as expected.”

Tuskin of the Silver Wing Holy Knights who brought Saint Heinrich to the Holy Land, Black Moon whose main job is to kill warlocks and devil worshipers, and the leader of the Bright Guardian Holy Knights who protects the Great Temple of Roselia.

They were paladins who were at the peak of the main church’s power.

‘…This is causing trouble.’

Beoncheonhoeju’s expression frowned as he assessed the energy radiating from them.

Actually, if you think about it, each one of them was nothing special.

The Paladin was both a master-level warrior and a high-ranking priest, but either way, it was only a little annoying to him, who had achieved the status of a semi-god.

However, that only applies in normal cases, and it was never easy to see them in special situations like now.

Their bodies, which are normally well-trained and accustomed to the dense concentration of sacred power, will become excellent vehicles for projecting the enormous divine power that fills this space.

Even though the power was temporary and had a significant negative impact on lifespan, it was not a big problem for paladins who were ready to commit martyrdom for God’s will at any time.

Whoa!

The air became heavy, and the heavens and earth were colored with brilliant divine power.

Although the main church had lost face in many ways against the Immortal King due to the ‘inside spy’ that no one could have predicted, they were undoubtedly one of the greatest forces in Outerica and the center of all religions.

“Tsk, this is….”

The religious shrine located in the center of the world.

Tens of thousands of devoted believers reciting prayers in unison.

The high-ranking priests who lead them and carry out the ritual, and the paladins who block the way, taking in the energy all around them to their limits.

And even the cardinals who are standing in the center of Shin Seong-jin and quietly looking in his direction.

‘That’s bad.’

Beoncheonhoeju, who quickly grasped the situation, was able to immediately decide to give up.

With such preparations in place, there was nothing he could do about it right now.

It would be the worst thing to rush into a situation so prepared and have God intervene.

‘For now, I’m leaving. It would not be possible to maintain this level of preparedness all the time. When you look at the situation in the long term and a gap appears…’

He had a lot of time left anyway.

Although it was a bit of a shame that I had already lost the down payment while trying to finish it quickly, I was able to learn a lot thanks to it, so it wasn’t just a loss.

‘There is a prophet over there. It can also exert considerable influence on the world as a whole.’

Hahoetal appeared with his troops as if waiting for him at his appearance point.

Afterwards, the top level powerhouses and their helpers appeared as if in shifts.

Even the super-large Seongjin Shin and a ceremony using him were prepared in advance in anticipation of where he would move.

It was a series of events that could not be explained without the existence of a prophet.

‘I can’t believe you could make such a detailed prophecy against me.’

It was a prophecy that even a transcendental being who was outside the mold would become unstable.

Wasn’t the reason he gave Oracle preferential treatment because he was almost the only person who overcame that limitation?

However, being able to read his actions in such detail as he rose to the level of a semi-god meant that he was a more dangerous person than imagined.

‘We have to deal with him first.’

In reality, the revelation the saint received was only about the existence of an ‘intruder from an external dimension’, but as he did not know the information and abilities of the person involved in this matter, he could only think that way.

‘I guess I’ll have to take advantage of the loophole in the prophecy. With that, we can somehow defeat him…’

But before he could even finish his thought.

Paaaaat—

He was gradually freeing himself from Shin Seong-jin’s restraints, keeping those who bothered him in check.

“In the name of the Lord. “There is no place for you in this world, Ethan.”

I couldn’t help but frown when I saw the champion of the main gods appearing with a sudden light and aiming the holy sword again.

But his appearance was only the beginning.

“cancer! Where are you going? There is no way until I give you those wings! Hahaha!”

“Hmm, the divine power is strong. “I feel like my skin is burning.”

“The forest around here is quite small… Well, the northern mountain range may have been dense…” The

three people appeared one by one, following Heinrich, as if they had been there from the beginning.

At the sight of those persistent leeches, Beoncheonhoeju’s face became grimly distorted.

***

When I found out about the invasion of Beoncheonhoeju, I had already thought of a possible location for him to target.

‘You were lucky. If he had gone somewhere else from the beginning, I would have missed it.’

There were two locations that were predicted to have the highest potential at that time.

It was the world tree located in the center of the Enamel Continent and the religious shrine at the center of the Aeon Continent.

Also, since that was expected, it was natural to prepare for future events just in case…

[This is Harris. The Apostle of the Foreign God headed to the main church’s sacred place.]

[I see. Should I call this a blessing?…]

[It’s a little disappointing! We also prepared thoroughly!]

[But it’s better if nothing major happens! No matter how hard you prepare, sacrifices are bound to happen. I hope the main church doesn’t suffer too much damage…]

Accordingly, not only the church’s sacred site but also the Elven Kingdom’s capital city of Drasha was fully prepared to launch a large-scale barrier using the World Tree.

To activate the barrier immediately when a signal comes from Harris.

Of course, there was a lot of effort and material that went into the process, but it wasn’t that difficult to get the job done because no one would carelessly ignore the words of the current Elven Kingdom’s strongest man and someone who was loved by the World Tree.

[Still, just in case, please remain alert till the end. If anything goes wrong while dealing with him, I will contact you right away.]

[I understand, Mr. Harris. Please take care of yourself.]

[Don’t get hurt! [Don’t overexert yourself.]

After hearing worried words from Cecily in Drasha, Harris ended the World Tree Network.

Originally, no matter how high an elf he was, he would have needed to use the spirit of the forest from such a long distance, but as he reached transcendence and his abilities grew greatly, this was nothing anymore.

‘Then…’

He sighed lightly and shot an arrow on the string of the bow he raised again.

Then, he narrowed his eyes and watched the skirmish taking place a short distance away.

Kwaaaang—!

The shock wave that comes with heavy drinking.

However, compared to what I felt in the mountain range just a short time ago, its power was significantly reduced.

Of course, the biggest cause was that the church’s sacred barrier absorbed the aftermath to reduce damage, but…

‘It has definitely become weaker. Just in case, I also informed the Imperial Palace and the Republic Council, but I guess there was no need to go that far.’

Not only that, warnings were sent to all important places just in case.

Even if he disappears to another location, we have mobilized all intelligence organizations, including Banshee Queen Olivia, to track him down immediately.

‘It ends here for sure.’

But looking at the situation, I felt like I didn’t have to worry about other places anymore.

I gave instructions to the main church with the intention of preparing in advance, but when I saw the results, I realized that the effect was greater than expected.

Without any consideration, this was the perfect time to finish him off.

Kaga River!

“Keuuu! You annoying bastards! “How did you follow me here?”

The person involved, Beoncheonhoeju, must have felt the same sense of crisis as he passively opposed the situation as if he were observing the situation, but he could no longer hold back and burst into anger.

How terrible it must be to be in a place where so many people have escaped, and to be subjected to even more ignorance than that.

Of course, Heinrich, who crossed the holy sword with him, did not pay any attention to such thoughts.

“Because that is the meaning of this world! “Go away, Ethan!”

The holy sword enveloped in “Blessing: Light Sword” became a pillar of light and split the air.

With that “space slash,” the intangible curtain blocking the way was torn to shreds, and the collapsing energy that was waiting for an opportunity around me was scattered to pieces, with no place to go.

‘This is awesome.’

Heinrich, deeply impressed, tightly gripped the handle of his sword.

The environment is such that even ordinary paladins are forced to go beyond their limits.

As the warrior actively used it, the brilliance emanating from his entire body was so great that it looked as if an incarnation of God had descended on earth.

Sigh!

And thanks to that dominance.

“Kahahaha! “Then I will eat well!”

“Ugh! “You monster!”

Finally, Harley was able to achieve what she wanted.

The strange human-shaped creature forcibly pulled on its crumpled wings and took a big bite of the root -.

Kwazijic—!

A wing was torn off with a bloody sound of flesh being crushed.

Before Beoncheonhoeju could react, Heinz II secretly appeared, collected the pure white blood that had flowed, and inserted a sharp blood thorn into the wound.

“These lowly things…!”

An angel who lost his wings and was forced to grind his teeth as he was forced into a defensive series of attacks.

It seemed like it was worthwhile to go to great lengths and use “Individual Gathering” repeatedly.

‘It doesn’t apply to perks like ‘Summon the Otherworld Transmission’ or ‘Hero’s Footsteps’, so I didn’t pay much attention to it, but this is more useful than I thought.’

The product he used, 『Skill Cool Time Reset』, was a bit expensive as it was a VIP market product, but it was a very good option to use in important moments like now.

Anyway, except for “Object Gathering,” the only skill with a long cooldown that requires such a thing is “Object Projection.”

‘Now let’s finish this quickly.’

The holy sword in Heinrich’s hand radiated a sharp light and pierced the air.

I don’t think that everything will be resolved by defeating the opponent here.

Perhaps he will appear before me again in some way.

My intuition, which became sharper as my level rose, whispered that it was fate.

But now the important thing is.

It was that the brakes were finally put on the guy who was constantly inflating his size by devouring the possibilities of all kinds of worlds.

Phew—!

In the end, it was true that he had succeeded in protecting this Outerica.

“Go away, Ethan.”

Heinrich, who plunged the holy sword he held with both hands into the chest of Buncheonhoeju, stared straight into his distorted eyes and growled.

《The entity has met the conditions and gained enlightenment. The special skill “Great Blessing: Wings of Radiance” has been acquired.》

As expected, the sponsor seemed to be very satisfied.
