Chapter 926
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
Paaang!The wall of darkness created by the Black Tower Lord split apart, and his shoulder was torn off along with his hand.
“Graaaaah!”
Unable to endure the pain of his flesh being ripped away, the Black Tower Lord bent over. Bright red blood gushed from his shoulder.
“Finishing Move-.”
But Chamber didn’t stop chanting her spell even after seeing that.
“S-Stop…”
Ignoring the Black Tower Lord’s desperate plea, she pointed her finger forward.
“Fracture of Emptiness.”
“You damn wench!”
The Black Tower Lord tried to gather demonic energy and form a magic field, but with his arm torn off, he couldn’t construct a complete formation.
Boom!
The spatial wave triggered by Chamber shattered the magic field and crushed the Black Tower Lord’s head. His body crumbled like a sandcastle.
“Haaah…”
Even after the Black Tower Lord fell, Chamber didn’t lower her hand, nor did she release her magic formation.
‘I need to do it one more time…’
Most mages create a ring in their heart to store mana. The Black Tower Lord would be no exception, so she had to destroy his heart for good.
“Keuhk…”
Just as she was about to cast another spell, black, dead blood spewed from her mouth.
‘Feels like I’m dying.’
She still had enough mana to use [Fracture of Emptiness], but her mind and body felt like they were falling apart. Her head throbbed so intensely it felt like it would split open, and her vision blurred.
But she couldn’t stop here. Even if she died in the process, she had to make sure the Black Tower Lord was completely finished.
“Finishing Move.”
Chamber raised her trembling finger and aimed at the collapsed Black Tower Lord’s heart.
“Fracture of Emptiness.”
As soon as she forced herself to complete the chant, the Black Tower Lord’s chest, protected by the Demon Lord’s Hand, exploded, and dark red blood gushed out like a fountain.
Rumble…
The Black Tower Lord truly seemed dead, unmoving as the demonic energy he had carried began to dissolve.
“Huff…”
Only after destroying both his head and heart did Chamber finally lower her trembling hand.
‘Is it over?’
She had thought she might die before the Black Tower Lord, but thankfully she was the one who ended it first.
‘That was lucky… No, it’s thanks to them.’
To be honest, she hadn’t expected herself to fight this hard. Watching the spirit that Raon and the others had shown during the operation helped her endure until the end.
Had she not witnessed everyone else’s struggle, the one buried here wouldn’t be the Black Tower Lord—it would’ve been her.
“Now the pain kicks in…”
Chamber bit her lip, trying to endure the pain. Despite the skin being torn and bones exposed, the pain in her head and heart was far worse. She had been on the brink of death.
‘Now I just need to go back, close the gate to the Devildom, and clean up the remnants.’
She wanted to lie down and rest right away, but she was still worried about the children left behind in the dimension of the Black Tower.
‘Even with Raon and Karoon there, the casualties will be high.’
The Dark Spirit World was a spell that revived demons and monsters. Until the gate to the Devildom was closed, that effect would continue, so she had to return quickly, shut the gate, and save even one more life if possible.
“Just one breath…”
Chamber straightened her back and closed her eyes. While recovering her mind and body through mana breathing, a chill suddenly ran down her spine.
‘Wait a second.’
She opened her eyes again and looked at the Black Tower Lord’s corpse, soaked in blood.
‘The demonic energy is acting strange.’
When a demon dies, their demonic energy usually fades slowly into nature like nonflammable waste.
But right now, the Black Tower Lord’s demonic energy was disappearing unusually fast.
‘No way.’
Chamber summoned flames over the corpse.
Fwoooosh!
Even though the Black Tower Lord was dead, the Demon Lord’s Hand should’ve still played its role. Yet it burned and melted far too easily. That meant the corpse wasn’t real.
“Damn it!”
Chamber clenched her teeth and turned around. Without even wiping the blood from her mouth, she crossed space.
Paaang!
—
Raon bit his lips as he stared at the gate to the Devildom.
‘Only one shot at this.’
Even now, the gate to the Devildom was growing larger. Since his condition wasn’t normal, if he missed this chance, he might never be able to close it again.
-Look at the gate properly.
Wrath climbed onto his shoulder and jerked his chin.
-Unleash all your stored wrath at once. Only then can you sever that dimension.
He raised his plump hand and pointed directly at where Raon needed to strike.
-Thinking simply, crush the gate to the Devildom with my wrath and burst it! Crude and brute force!
Wrath clenched his tiny fist, saying the only way to close the gate was to explode his power in one strike.
“Hoo…”
Raon slowly steadied his breathing and resonated the [Ring of Fire]. He opened all three energy centers and stepped into the transcendent realm.
Fwoooooosh!
As he activated both [Ten Thousand Flames Cultivation] and [Glacier], frost and fire blazed over the Heavenly Drive.
He harmonized the opposing forces using the wind of Garunua and raised the Heavenly Drive above his head.
-Forget about the monsters. Focus entirely on closing that gate.
‘I know.’
Ignoring the monsters and demons glaring at him with black eyes, Raon kept his gaze fixed only on the gate.
-Now! Pour all your wrath into the strike!
Hearing Wrath’s voice, Raon opened the tier of his soul. The wrath of a Demon King who had grown by absorbing demonic energy surged as if to devour his soul, erupting in a violent wave.
Rooooaaar!
Already exhausted, now drawing on that wrath made his brain feel like it was freezing over. He held firm with the [Ring of Fire], pouring all the wrath crushing his body and mind into the Heavenly Drive.
Crackle-crack-crack!
The space around the Heavenly Drive twisted and split. The immense power naturally caused a rift in the dimension.
‘Hold on.’
Even just holding the sword made cold sweat pour down his back.
After a prolonged battle and using [Sword Field Creation] twice, both his body and spirit were nearly broken.
‘Hold on. Rensia is watching…’
The desire to give up surged, but he recalled Rensia’s face, who asked him to protect her siblings even as she lay dying, and endured.
Screech!
Screeech!
Sensing his attempt to close the gate, demons and monsters around him began to charge at him.
‘Ignore them.’
If the energy condensed into the Heavenly Drive scattered now, he wouldn’t be able to close the gate. Gritting his teeth, he stepped closer to the gate.
But the monsters and demons never reached him.
Fwoooooooosh!
Saint Olga and Karoon, still on the ground, unleashed divine power and sword strikes to block the monsters approaching Raon.
“Go! Close the gate now!”
Olga shouted, spitting out the cigarette from her mouth. The black blood staining its tip showed she was also overexerting herself.
“Don’t stop.”
Karoon, despite facing the resurrected Black King and high-ranking demons, still protected Raon. His expression remained calm despite serious injuries.
‘Thank you.’
Raon bowed to the two of them and gripped the Heavenly Drive harder. Thinking not of a gate but of slashing open the black sky, he swung the sword down.
Azure Sky Sword – Execution.
Heavenly Flame.
As the sword fell, the fury of the heavens imbued the blade, creating a fearsome wave that erased every being in sight.
Rooooaaaaar!
The sword strike, combining fire and frost, cut through the thick wall of demonic energy and slashed toward the gate.
Craaaaaack!
The ever-growing gate stopped for the first time. Under the weight of the wrath-infused sword strike, the gate, gaping like the mouth of a demon, began to crack open.
‘Just a bit more!’
The gate’s resistance was beyond what he imagined.
Like slicing a massive zelkova tree with a thin saw, his palms tore and it felt like his arm would be ripped out—but he kept pressing down with the sword.
Crack-crack-crack!
The gate fought back like a living creature, focusing its demonic energy, but it couldn’t resist the overwhelming wrath. The massive gate splitting the sky was now tearing apart.
‘Now!’
Even though he felt like collapsing and his wrist might break, he knew this was the moment. He clenched his teeth and slashed once more.
Crackle!
The gate sprayed demonic energy like it wanted to live, but it couldn’t reverse the tide. As the gate slowly closed, the monsters emerging from it also shrank in size.
“Stop him! Kill him!”
“Kyaaaaaa!”
“Raon Zieghart!”
The demons and monsters screamed and leapt at Raon, as if they never imagined the gate could close.
“Protect Raon!”
“Don’t let anything reach him!”
“Stop them with your lives!”
The allied forces ran forward, coughing blood, to block the monsters and protect Raon.
Rumble!
As fierce and brutal as the battle at the gate was, the war on the ground raged just as desperately.
-We’re almost there!
Wrath slapped Raon’s shoulder to give him strength.
“Graaaaah!”
Raon let out a roar and swung to slash the last remnants of the gate—
Bzzzzzzzt!
Suddenly, a pitch-black figure cloaked in dark robes emerged beside the gate. It was the Black Tower Lord Chamber had dragged away.
[You dare interfere until the end!]
Though he had no head and a gaping hole in his chest, he still hadn’t died and reached his hand toward Raon.
Paaang!
A monstrous demonic energy shot from his fingertip, aiming to kill Raon.
‘I can block it. But if I do, I won’t have enough strength to close the gate.’
He was using everything he had to destroy the gate. If his aura broke now, he wouldn’t be able to cut through the demonic energy—the sword would shatter.
‘I have to trust them.’
This wasn’t a battle he could win alone.
Trusting Chamber, who had landed such devastating blows on the Black Tower Lord, Raon focused entirely on slashing the gate.
Bzzzzzzzt!
Just as the demonic energy was about to reach him, a mature woman in a short robe appeared from the right in a flash of blue light.
Paaang!
With red hair down to her waist and golden eyes flashing, she instantly erased the Black Tower Lord’s demonic energy.
“Uaaaaaaaah!”
Raon let out a roar to prevent the Black Tower Lord from interfering again and slashed down with the Heavenly Drive.
Chiiiiing!
The tip of the Heavenly Drive struck the ground, and a red and blue flash stretched across the black sky filled with demonic energy.
“Huff…”
Lowering the sword, Raon lifted his eyes with difficulty.
‘The gate…’
The massive gate that had once covered the sky was split in half and frozen by silver frost.
But—
There was still a small space left—just large enough for a human to pass through—where the wrath had not reached and the gate still breathed.
‘…Did I fail?’
He had poured all his aura and wrath into this. The pain in his head surged, and he felt like giving up and fainting.
-Observe carefully.
Wrath shook his head calmly.
‘Observe?’
Raon followed Wrath’s gaze.
Ssssssss…
The silver frost was slowly creeping down, freezing the remaining part of the gate. The demons outside it, stunned by Wrath’s fury imbued in the frost, stood frozen with their hands down.
-If we hold it like this, the gate will close.
Wrath nodded.
-Though we still need to deal with that one.
His gaze turned to the Black Tower Lord, who stood guarding the gate.
But Raon’s eyes went first to Chamber, who stood before him.
“Lady Chamber.”
She had returned not as a child, but as a mature woman. Her height had increased, and the once short red hair now flowed to her waist. She was a peerless beauty, and more than that, her magical energy had grown stronger.
“Are you alright?”
More than her power, her condition seemed worrisome due to how much she had pushed herself.
“I’m fine.”
Chamber smiled weakly and shook her head. But her trembling lips suggested she wasn’t fine.
“If you have the strength to speak, let’s focus on killing that one.”
She raised her hand and pointed at the Black Tower Lord still guarding the gate.
‘Black Tower Lord…’
Even without a head and with a hole in his chest, he stood firm, protecting the remaining gate.
Despite having lost two human vital points, he still lived—like a grim reaper who even defied death.
‘Does the Dark Spirit World work on him too?’
No, not perfectly.
Maybe because the gate was closing, the Black Tower Lord’s wounds weren’t regenerating—they remained.
“With the gate closing, we have the upper hand. Let’s finish this quickly.”
Raon nodded and pointed the Heavenly Drive at the Black Tower Lord.
“Yes. Let’s end this tiresome battle.”
Chamber wiped the dried black blood from her lips and brought her hands together.
“This time, I’ll erase him completely.”
She gathered her fingers and concentrated her wavering magical energy.
“Finishing Move—Fracture of Emptiness.”
The space in front of her tore open.
Roooooooom!
As her spell tried to erase the gate and the Black Tower Lord, a holy light suddenly poured down on his head.
Fwaaaaaah!
The golden light, filled with divinity, twisted her magic and saved the Black Tower Lord’s life.
Rumble…
A white angel with a golden crown descended from the distorted space.
She must’ve blocked Chamber’s final spell.
“You’re badly injured.”
When the angel gently lowered her hand, the Black Tower Lord’s head regrew, and the hole in his chest healed instantly.
‘What the…?’
The angel was the least likely being to aid the Black Tower Lord. Why was she helping and healing him?
‘Wait a minute, could she be…’
Karoon had said he met a mysterious woman when entering the Angelic Gate. He claimed she revived immediately after dying. This had to be the same angel.
-An Angel? I sense the presence of a high-ranking angel… However…
Wrath narrowed his eyes.
-Strangely, she feels different from the angels I know.
Just like with Zircon, he noted that this one had a different nature than ordinary angels.
“Huuuh…”
The Black Tower Lord touched his newly formed head and exhaled in relief.
“That was truly close.”
He wiped the sweat from his palm and smirked.
“Damn it…”
Chamber bit her lip until it bled, stunned that her final spell had been stopped.
“It’s alright.”
Raon stood beside her and shook his head.
“His wounds healed, but his demonic energy hasn’t. We can win.”
While his head and chest had been restored, his demonic energy was still depleted. He was in worse condition than Raon.
“If we just block that angel, it’ll be over.”
Raon narrowed his eyes at the golden-crowned angel floating above the Black Tower Lord.
“……”
The angel simply smiled faintly and looked at them. She had protected the Black Tower Lord, yet showed no hostility toward them.
“Who is she?”
Chamber, wary of the angel, began drawing a new magic formation.
“Do you know about the Stones of Origin?”
The Black Tower Lord pulled out a light green jewel with his newly regenerated right hand. It resembled an emerald but gave off a mysterious aura.
“The Stones of Origin contain something alien within. The Peridot of July holds an unangelic angel. And the Zircon of December… contains an undemonic demon.”
“Zircon? Don’t tell me…”
“Yes. This is Zircon.”
He pulled out a transparent yellow-brown gemstone. As he did, the demon with the black hand that Raon had once killed rose from his shoulder.
“The Stones of Origin…”
Chamber trembled, clearly recognizing them. Her expression turned pale.
“Accept your fate.”
“Of course.”
When the Black Tower Lord lifted the Peridot into the air, the angel of July knelt before him.
“Become one with me.”
As he held Peridot’s hand and turned toward the demon, something happened. The Zircon of December suddenly moved on its own and fell toward Raon’s head.
“W-What…”
“Zircon!”
Startled, Raon caught the gem. The Black Tower Lord stared in disbelief.
Bzzzzzzzt!
From the yellow-brown gemstone, the demon of December, Zircon, rose and looked down at the Black Tower Lord.
“Zircon! What are you doing?! I am your master!”
“You are not worthy.”
Zircon ignored the Black Tower Lord’s screams and stood before Raon.
“This is the one I must follow.”
Without hesitation, he knelt before Raon and bowed his head.
“Raon Zieghart!”
The Black Tower Lord screamed in fury as if his final plan had shattered.
