Chapter 63 Mom...Mom...
This is bound to be an unfair battle.
Because one of them was well-dressed, and the demon insects surrounding him looked like an army.
The other side had half of his body soaked in blood and it was difficult for him to even stand. It looked like he was not fighting but rather waiting to die.
But even so, the other side still tried very hard to stand, and even wanted to straighten its body into a javelin, as if this would allow it to ignore the other side's massive army.
Corey nodded slightly, which was both a greeting and a statement - the game had begun.
The demon insects that received the order immediately pounced towards Ulu and were about to devour Ulu almost instantly. The scene seemed to cover the sky.
Ulu had no choice but to snap his fingers again, and these magic insects instantly dissipated into black dust and fell down one after another, but they condensed into new magic insects at the moment before landing.
"The rules sealed by this finger are indeed very powerful." Corey's voice came from behind the magic worm, much louder than before, because he was walking towards this side, "In a battle of equal strength, an unpreventable [Termination] is enough to determine the outcome of the battle... But unfortunately, you and I are not evenly matched."
As Corey finished his words, the regrouped insects pounced towards Uru again.
Wulu had no choice but to use the [Magic Chains], and the chains derived from the ground bound up the magic bugs one by one. Under Bai Wei's influence, Wulu's [Magic Chains] and [Mist Barrier Karma Fire] had already reached the level of proficiency. So the number of chains derived in an instant was not much less than that of the magic bugs, so he defended against this attack.
But Uru knew that this was only temporary.
As the Bishop of Rhine, Corey's magic power reserves are not at the same level as his. Corey can create infinite magic insects, but he cannot create infinite magic chains.
So he can't just defend passively, he has to attack more actively.
Use [Magic Chain] to defend and [Mist Barrier Karma Fire] to attack.
Thinking of this, Uru defended himself while creating gray fog that spread towards Corey.
According to Corey, he could not use any spells other than [Insect Taming], which naturally included spell shields, so Uru's [Mist Barrier Fire] should be able to hurt Corey. After knowing that Corey's eye could clearly see the surge of spells, Uru didn't need to be so roundabout and directly attacked Corey. The white mist instantly filled in front of Corey.
Done!
Just as Uru was about to detonate, he saw two insects at Cory's feet suddenly jump up, and their small bodies expanded several times in an instant - they directly sucked the white mist into their bodies!
Ulu realized that something was wrong, so he immediately detonated the white mist, but he could only hear a "puff" sound, and the bodies of the two insects exploded, but the scale was like a popped balloon, with no lethality at all.
Then, Corey stepped over their broken bodies and continued walking towards Uru.
Ulu was shocked by the scene before him, he did not remember that [Insect Taming Technique] had such ability.
During this brief moment of daze, two insects broke through his chain defense. One of them bit him and tore off a large piece of his flesh, while the other one rushed straight to his neck.
With a "pop" sound.
With another snap of his fingers, the insect that was about to bite Ulu's neck was instantly reduced to ashes along with the rest of the insects.
But this disappearance only lasted less than two seconds before it re-condensed and rushed towards Uru again.
Uru didn't even have a chance to breathe and could only use [Magic Chain] to defend himself again.
But now it is more difficult than before, not only because of the injuries on his body, but also because of the backlash of [Termination].
Although Bai Wei promised to help him reduce the cost of [Termination], it did not eliminate the cost. Uru had snapped his fingers three times tonight, and the side effects of this powerful force still seemed to tear his soul apart.
"You've exceeded my expectations." Corey's voice came again, and he was closer. "Using [Terminate] three times in a row... You do have a willpower that ordinary people don't have. But you probably can't use it a fourth time."
Uru raised his head sharply and found that Corey was very close.
"You, what else can you do?"
Corey asked with a smile, and then took another step forward. Uru could already see his own miserable appearance from the blade of the knife in his hand.
"Your body can only snap your fingers once at most." Bai Wei's voice rang in Ulu's mind, "Only once."
Ulu looked at the demon insects around him that were about to break through the defense line, pursed his lips, and whispered: "Enough."
After saying this, Uru cancelled all the [Magic Chains].
At this moment, all the insects fell down. These monsters, which were supposedly unconscious, were "stunned" for a moment when the obstacles suddenly disappeared, but they quickly "came to their senses" and immediately pounced on Uru.
Uru removed all his defenses and stretched out his hand toward Corey, using all his remaining magic power to create white mist.
"Puff", "Puff", "Puff".
One after another, the insects rushed onto his body, tearing at his flesh and gnawing at his bones.
But Uru just raised his hand and drove all the white mist towards Corey.
Less than five meters away.
Very close, yet very far.
The closeness lies in that the white fog can reach this location in an instant, but the farness lies in that this seemingly short road actually hides numerous dangers.
One after another, the insects jumped up and absorbed the white mist. But the white mist would rush over these insects that had absorbed enough white mist, and then new insects would jump up and absorb it.
This is Ulu’s massive army.
They are biting,
They are fighting,
They are falling,
But, they are also moving forward.
They are the most fearless and ruthless army. Even though their general is imprisoned and bitten by one hideous insect after another, they still do not turn back and are still executing the orders issued by their general - attack.
Finally, they broke through layers of obstacles and arrived in front of Corey.
The white mist that had previously almost covered the entire cathedral now only had one last wisp left, and beneath it were countless demon insects that were swollen to death.
Just a wisp of it is enough.
Because it has already rushed in front of Corey.
Ulu snapped his fingers for the last time, and all the demon insects were reduced to ashes again.
At the same time, the price paid this time did not delay in coming, and even increased several times, as if to destroy Uru's entire soul. The tremendous pain almost made him lose consciousness.
But he didn't lose it, he just gritted his teeth.
Detonate.
"Bang"!
White mist exploded in front of Corey's eyes. The scale of the explosion was smaller than the previous ones, but it was enough to cover Corey completely. The splashed dust seemed to be the hope that was stirring in Uru's heart.
He dragged his broken body and stared at the dust.
Was it successful?
It should have been successful.
Since there is no way to use spell shield and it is forbidden to use spells other than [Insect Taming], it should be impossible...
The sound of footsteps suddenly sounded.
Uru's eyes widened.
He saw a huge shield emerging from the dispersing dust.
It was the corpse of a giant insect.
Corey walked out of the dust and threw the bug aside. He was unharmed. He looked at Uru with a faint smile and said softly, "It's a really good idea. It was almost successful. It was less than a second away. Unfortunately, your body can no longer support such a tactic that requires precision to the second."
He paused.
"You've already lost."
The moment the words fell, the disappeared insects came back again.
"Puff", "Puff", "Puff".
Ulu, who was no longer able to resist, was forced to his knees on the ground. His limbs were bitten by insects and he completely lost the ability to move.
He was unwilling to give up and wanted to struggle, but the backlash of [Termination] came again, and he was about to vomit blood again.
But this time he held it back tightly and refused to vomit the blood.
It seemed as if this was his last breath.
But Corey had already walked up to him, looked at Uru who was kneeling on the ground, and said lightly: "What a pity, you have indeed tried very hard, but you should know that in this world, hard work is the most worthless thing. Just like this finger, it should not be in your hand."
After saying that, Corey picked up the knife, slowly bent down, with his head almost touching Ulu's head, and then he spoke softly to Ulu.
"So, I accept this finger."
At this time, Ulu, who had been silent all the time, suddenly raised his head and then opened his puffy cheeks.
I saw that there was no blood in his mouth.
Rather,
White fog.
Corey's eyes widened suddenly and he stepped back immediately, but it was too late.
Uru detonated the white mist.
At this distance, neither of them could avoid it.
boom!
The explosion kicked up the final cloud of dust.
Ten seconds later, the dust cleared.
Ulu collapsed to the ground.
The close-range explosion took away half of his face and half of his tongue.
Corey stood intact a few meters away.
It seems that the game has been decided.
But in front of Corey,
There is a light blue magic shield floating.
"Hahaha……"
Uru, who was lying on the ground, looked like a winner. He raised his finger and pointed at Corey, wanting to laugh out loud, but his body no longer allowed him to do so. He tried his best, but the sounds he made were still unclear.
But he was happy, really happy.
Corey watched in silence, then he felt something and touched his cheek with his hand.
He felt blood.
“Hahaha…” Ulu laughed wantonly, and at the same time tried to say something that Corey could understand, “You lose, you lose.”
"Your smug eyes... didn't help you."
"You're just like me."
"Same as me."
"Ha ha……"
Corey looked at the crazy Ulu, and after a moment of silence, he said softly, "You have succeeded in angering me."
As he finished speaking, endless darkness surged out from behind him, covering the entire cathedral in an instant.
Uru couldn't see anything.
He could only hear Corey's voice coming from all directions.
"I wanted to give you a decent death, but now, I have changed my mind."
"I have decided to let you be torn apart by the darkness."
"As payment for angering me."
"You cannot see through this darkness. Only I, who have this eye, can see it. Don't worry. I will watch with my own eyes as your body is disassembled into hundreds of pieces."
"Go to hell and repent."
Corey's voice faded away.
As he said, Uru could not see anything. He could only feel that there were countless monsters hiding in the darkness. They were laughing, they were running, and they were taking pieces of flesh and blood from Uru's body.
So Ulu fell to the ground.
pain,
it hurts.
The harm he had just caused to Corey with all his strength was not as good as a second in the darkness.
But he tried his best.
I really have tried my best.
"Lord Visas."
"I am here."
He closed his eyes gently.
"please,"
"Light me up."
…
Uru stood in a pure white world with a straight road in front of him.
Although he didn't know why, he walked on this road, limping.
The scenery along the road is pure white, but not completely pure white.
He could see blurry images and hear muffled voices.
It was the night when he got a small box and was fidgeting with a finger in the box.
He continued walking forward.
He was sitting in a merchant's house, holding a bag of grain in his hand, and said arrogantly, "This is the price of the relief grain from above. Do you want to bargain with Rhine?"
He continued walking forward.
That’s when he sat in front of a little boy, raising his eyebrows slightly: “Do you know what the price is?”
Keep going.
He followed Lu Ji and seemed to be doing something, but his expression was a little hesitant. "Is this really okay?"
Keep going.
He fell in a pool of blood. Kelsey put away his sword and said calmly, "I'm sorry. I was too harsh."
Keep going.
He was reading a book by the window.
Keep going.
Father Luigi made him kneel down.
Go forward.
That snowy winter, he stood in front of the church and prayed for food from the priest.
He can't walk anymore.
I'm so tired. Really so tired.
And it hurts. It really hurts.
But there seemed no need to go any further, so he looked up and forward.
The road ended at a burning house.
He suddenly felt motivated again.
So I forgot about being tired, forgot about the pain, and even forgot who I was. I just kept moving forward, and kept moving forward until I reached the house.
He continued walking forward.
The burning fire slowly died down and the ground became covered with snow again.
Then it turned orange-red, and frosted leaves covered the entire room.
Then came the chirping of cicadas, real cicadas, as if they were calling out for something.
Finally, there is greenery.
The dilapidated Ulu finally stood in front of the house, staring blankly at the face that was almost taken away by time and was sitting in front of the door.
She smiled faintly, just as she remembered.
Uru opened his mouth.
His tongue was gone.
My throat is broken.
He should be unable to say anything.
But he still made a sound.
It is the word engraved in life.
"Mother……"
…
“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”
The darkness dissipated.
"Uru" stood up again, grabbed Corey's neck, and then slowly raised his hand.
"Puchi."
He removed Corey's left eye.
“Aa ...
Corey screamed at the top of his lungs, but his overwhelming fear and desire to survive made him struggle to break free from Uru's grasp.
He didn't know what had happened. He had just been slaughtering Uru in the space of [Divine Art: Extreme Darkness]. But now, he could only cover his empty left eye and watch the scene that he would never forget in his life.
"Ulu", who was dying just now, took off his left eye, and then put the eye he had just taken from Corey into his bloody eye socket.
"I say, why is this happening?" Ulu spoke slowly, but in a completely different voice from before. "Every step this guy takes is within my calculations. His coming here and sacrificing his life was also what I expected. From the beginning to the end, this guy never escaped my control, and I got what I wanted..."
Bai Wei slowly turned his head, and then opened his left eye little by little.
In an instant, this eye as bright as a star seemed to come alive.
"But why," Bai Wei said, "I can't be happy at all?"
"Can you answer me?"
"Um?"
I wrote this in one breath. I feel dizzy. I'll post it first. If there are any problems, I'll revise it in detail tomorrow.
