Swoosh!
Just as the flying spear was about to hit Akdol in the head...
-Krr!
Akdol’s head jerked sideways, nearly snapping.
Bam!
Like a bomb, the spear created a huge crater in the ground.
“H-he dodged it?” Yi-Ho’s eyes went wide. He couldn’t believe it! He’d thrown the spear with all his might! Yet, Akdol managed to dodge it without even looking...
-Kyak kyak!
Akdol snorted in disdain. He could be weakened, but such petty tricks wouldn’t work on him. Above all, he didn’t have time to play with Yi-Ho.
Flap flap!
Akdol sprinted forward again, his tail flapping behind him. He headed for the gates of the Holy Nation of Gayami!
Yi-Ho chased after them, screaming, “Close the gates! Don’t let him escape!”
Hearing Yi-Ho’s command, the soldiers jumped onto their feet and rushed to close the gate.
“C-close the ga—...Hic!”
Just as they were about to start the pulley on the gate, the soldiers stiffened.
Swaaaah!
Akdol’s serpentine eyes emitted murderous intent. He slightly parted his mouth, which held Anty.
-Kyaaa!
Get out of my way if you want to live!
“Aaargh!” The soldiers guarding the walls screamed, scattering in all directions.
Akdol smiled in satisfaction. After staying here for a while, he didn’t want to kill the Gayami soldiers.
“Eek! Akdol! Please stop! I’ll be very angry if you don’t!”
Akdol didn’t heed Anty’s threats at all. She could be angry now, but once she realized that he was doing this to save her, she’d definitely thank him with more trout.
Now that Akdol had removed all the roadblocks, all he had to do was go through the gate...!
Chills!
Shiver went down Akdol’s scaly back. Dangerous! He snapped up, almost breaking his neck.
Swoosh!
Something was cutting through the air, flying straight at them. It looked like a small dot at first, but grew larger in no time.
“You monster! I finally caught up...!” Yi-Ho was now within striking distance, pointing his spear at Akdol’s neck.
Akdol responded by opening his mouth wide, roaring.
-Kyaaak!
Run! Quick!
But it was too late.
“W-what’s that?”
The people of the Gayami Nation gaped, looking up at the sky.
Ruuumble, bam bam bam!
A spear as huge as a spire, engulfed in roaring flames, slammed into the castle walls. Moreover, there wasn’t just one of them.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Bam! Bam bam bam!
Five spears were embedded on the walls, causing an earth-shattering earthquake to sweep across the Gayami nation. The walls that stood strong and tall against the imperial army’s invasion now lay in shambles.@@@@
“N-no way. The walls that God Yu Il-Shin built to protect us...!”
The people stared at the sight with fear and despair etched on their faces.
Little did they know, the disaster had only begun.
“A-Akdol! Wake up!”
-Krr...
Akdol could barely register Anty’s desperation to wake him up. He saw Anty wailing by what once had been the castle walls, torn by five fiery spars. Thankfully, she was unharmed. The same couldn’t be said about Akdol, who shielded her with his body before the spears exploded in their faces.
Crying, Anty reached out to Akdol’s back, which was severely burned, revealing the bones underneath.
“J-just wait a bit! I’ll heal you! Healing Ring Finger of God Yu Il-Shin!”
Tzzz!
The tentacles tried doing the same to Il-Ho, but his astounding reflex allowed him to avoid them in time.
“Eek! Save me, Warrior!” the cactus girl screamed at the top of her lungs.
In fact, those weren't tentacles.
Swish swish!
They were snakes. Not just one or two, but thousands after thousands of them, uniting to form a single body. Il-Ho threw his shovel and pulled out his dumbbell sword, pointing it at the bizarre monster before him.
“Who are you?! Release that girl now!”
Sss!
The giant snake that was at least a hundred meters long spread its jaw at Il-Ho.
-I am the First Apostle of Ruler of the Abyssal Swamp, and the older sister of Hydra, who your people killed back in Antrinia.
Ruler of the Abyssal Swamp?
Il-Ho jogged his memories. The Ruler of the Abyssal Swamp was clearly one of the malevolent gods that the Empire serves.
He recalled a snake that served the Ruler of the Abyssal Swamp during that last war back at his hometown.
“What is an apostle doing here?!”
-I'm here to avenge my sibling and gain more divine power!
The apostle revealed its forked tongue, cackling.
-Following the orders of my master's ally, Fire Shining in the Highest Skies, I shall begin exterminating all minions of God Yu Il-Shin!
Swoosh! Swish!
The giant snake's body leaned over, and a black tidal wave loomed over Il-Ho.
“Argh!”
***
At the temple of Fire Shining in the Highest Skies...
-Keke, is that all? Are you a Mid-tier God at best?
The half-human half-bird giant mocked while looking down at my bloodied self.
“Huff! Puff!” I fell into despair. My opponent was overwhelmingly strong.
I had defeated the Three Pure Ones who were otherworldly gods as well in the past, but this time it was a miscalculated move on my end to think that I could defeat him.
...Was this the true power of a High-tier God? Even the powers I had gathered up until now did not work on the giant a single bit. I felt like a kid asked to have a go at an adult. And to make matters worse...
Ding! Ding!
[10,202 followers from the Holy Nation of Gayami had perished.]
[23,210 followers from the Holy Nation of Gayami had perished.]
[231 Yaksha Soldiers dispatched to the Holy Nation of Gayami had perished.]
[301 Skull Chickens dispatched to the Holy Nation of Gayami had perished.]
[Your Temporary Apostle and Warrior Il-Ho challenging the Forty-Second Floor of the Tower of Warriors is in danger!]
My divine power was dwindling along with the never-ending messages of God-Maker. What on earth happened to my followers?!
Ziiing!
[The innate power Blind Eyes of God has been activated.]
I saw it right away. A panoramic view of what was happening in the Gayami nation and Il-Ho appeared before my eyes. Five invaders were attacking the Gayami Nation, massacring my followers and guardians. Each of them wore a set of armor from the Greek mythology hero, Achilles, purchased from the Hunter Shop. They were also blessed with the Sun God’s power.
Meanwhile, Il-Ho was also fighting for his life against an apostle sent by the evil god.
-Young god, enough dilly-dallying.
Birdhead reached out and picked me up, opening his beak.
Kwaaa!
Flames erupted from within his beak, reminding me of a furnace.
-Consider this an honor. You shall become a part of my flame.
The heat was so intense that my hair and skin began to burn. But within me, an anger even hotter than his flames surged.
How dare he massacre my precious soldier... Now that it's come to this, I won’t hold back!
I was determined to use every means at my disposal to crush the Birdhead and deal with any bastard that touched my children!
-What are you doing?
Birdhead stared at me in disbelief as I pointed my thumb toward myself.
“Proliferating... Thumb of God!”
Flash!
