Chapter 1017
#1017. In fact…
like a roar.
Or as if moaning.
Or like an echo.
An explosive sound all over the place.
And as if in response, I saw the star labyrinth, which was gradually collapsing, exploding, and my face hardened for a moment.
Limon asked heavily.
“Didn’t you say you caught that one?”
“…I got it. To make sure, the body was burned with purifying fire and the soul was torn to pieces.”
Yuna-kyung answered hesitantly.
As she said herself.
Seodang Gae also recite Pungwol every three years.
Having journeyed with Limon for over 20 years, she knew well how scary and persistent the constellation was.
There are even constellations that try to run away even after being cut by a sword.
That’s why when I caught the Labyrinth.
She completely destroyed him, using every means at her disposal, from magic to star power, but…
“And yet he’s still alive?”
“Does that thing look alive…?”
“Hmm, definitely. “We are in a state where we need to redefine the standard for being alive.”
A labyrinth of stars made of starlight in the void.
A faint human image is standing in the middle of it all.
Limon clicked his tongue lightly as he looked at the gigantic, grotesque, and distorted figure that was too large, too grotesque, to be a human being.
A bizarre beast.
Broken machine.
Tangled tentacles.
Distorted face.
Eyes, limbs, etc.
A constellation with countless bodies made of starlight staring at them with a tangled complexion.
Limon frowned as he looked at the Labyrinth, which was now a constellation.
‘…Did you absorb the constellations of the broken constellations?’
It’s absurd.
Limon thought inadvertently.
It wasn’t that I didn’t understand.
Originally, this star labyrinth was a trap created using numerous constellations as its core.
And most of the constellations were tragically destroyed by him and the Sword Demon, and that was why this star labyrinth was collapsing.
However, the larger the furnace, the more the heat remains even after the fire is extinguished.
Even if the constellations died, the power contained in their constellations would not have dispersed in an instant.
So, if it was the same constellation, it was possible to forcibly absorb the remaining power of that constellation.
There is one problem.
“It’s no longer a constellation.”
“…I guess it’s like that too, right?”
Maybe it’s because Yuna-kyung’s soul was destroyed.
Is it because his constellation was destroyed?
Is it because it absorbed other constellations?
Or is it all the cause?
Looking at the remnants of Labyrinth, which was already a crazy mixture of humans and constellations, has now become an unidentifiable hybrid.
Limon clicked his tongue.
I couldn’t fault Yuna-kyung’s ending for being clumsy.
In the first place, the constellations were created by devouring all the possibilities of a single world.
He was a virtually immortal transcendental being who would never die unless the constellation was destroyed.
The Sword Master is just abnormal.
Even though it was only half-hearted, it was almost a miracle that Yuna-kyung was able to destroy the constellation so thoroughly.
“Na-kyung, hold on for a moment.”
“yes? yes!”
Slurp.
That was why.
The reason why Limon, who was holding Yuna-kyung like a princess, released one arm and pulled out his sword.
And so, the moment his sword was swung.
Sigh!
The light is flashing.
The void splits apart.
Labyrinth’s body, which was as large as a planet made of starlight, was split straight from the top of its head to its groin.
It is the ultimate sword.
A mixture of psionics and swordsmanship. It was the sword of the Dragon King
, capable of cutting down not
only the Absolute or the Transcendent, but also the world, cutting down opponents across space.
But…
[It’s no use. It’s no use, it’s all useless. I feel like I’m going to die with this. I’m not going to die, I’m not going to die!]
“…I guess this isn’t enough.”
It was definitely polarizing.
Limon frowned as he looked at the Labyrinth, which scattered into the starlight and then came back together again, emitting a scream-like scream in a more distorted form.
And Yu Na-kyung, who was hanging with her arms wrapped around his neck, also moaned.
“Rather than something already alive, it is a mass of star power infused with residual thoughts.”
“In the end, it means the spirit of the stars.”
“At that level, he’s already an evil spirit.”
Maybe it’s because of the madness and resentment that has been built up over nearly eons of time spent in this space-time gap.
Or maybe it was because they used their own constellations as the nucleus when creating this star labyrinth.
Limon clicked his tongue as if he was really bothered, looking at that terrible lump of light where the power of the star was mixed with deep resentment and malice.
“I guess we can get rid of it by blowing it up entirely…”
“Then this star labyrinth will also collapse and we will become lost in time and space. “That is already the incarnation of this labyrinth.”
“Then there’s nothing we can do.”
“there’s nothing we can do.”
Limon and Yuna looked at each other.
And as if exchanging opinions.
I nodded slightly.
“Hold on tight.”
“yes.”
Paaang!
The moment Yuna Kyung wrapped her arms tightly around her neck, Limon shot out to the other side of the labyrinth like a flash of light.
Rather than dealing with the Labyrinth, which was troublesome to catch and impossible to defeat, I decided to just avoid it.
The labyrinth of stars is collapsing even at this very moment.
Anyway, the moment the labyrinth collapses, that resentment will no longer be able to maintain itself and will disappear.
[Oh no matter where you go, you can’t run away. This is my labyrinth. Even if I die, even if I die, even if I die!]
But of course, Labyrinth’s resentment did not let them go.
I followed them at the speed of light.
In fact, if only that were it.
I would have been able to get away with it.
Limon’s speed, which allowed him to control all dragon psionics, was beyond imagination.
The problem was the labyrinth.
Kugugugugugung.
“manager! Not over there! Over there! Ugh, 1 second later! No, 3 seconds back! Wait a minute! “There’s a trap over there, so we have to go back!”
“…Could you please give me proper directions?”
“The labyrinth is going crazy. What should I do? Turn left now!”
Yuna-kyung was sweating.
Labyrinth’s grudge now is the incarnation of the labyrinth itself.
In his obsession to catch the two, he caused the star labyrinth to explode and block them.
Of course, the already chaotic flow of time and space becomes even more distorted, and the path changes dozens of times every second.
Traps appear that weren’t there before, or they even tear down walls and explode space-time.
Even as Yuna-kyung, who became a star fairy and gained an innate sense for navigating the stars, she was unable to guide the way.
No matter how fast Limon flies, it is ultimately nothing more than a temporary measure compared to the Santa Maria.
‘It can’t go on like this…!’
Yuna-kyung felt anxious.
The road gets shorter and shorter.
The walls of the labyrinth narrow.
The resentment of the chasing star.
It was all telling.
The labyrinth of stars will soon collapse, and if you don’t escape this place by then, you will be wandering through the gaps in time and space for eternity.
If Limon had the strength, he might be able to escape somehow…
but only for one minute.
No, even if you were trapped for just one second, a year or even 10,000 years could have passed outside.
Because the gap in space and time was that kind of place.
So, in order to prevent the Earth from being destroyed, we had to escape here somehow before that happens.
So, after thinking fiercely about what I could do to escape this place, I ended up thinking over and over again.
‘ah.’
Suddenly.
Yuna-kyung realized.
‘…There is a way.’
After thinking of a possibly unique solution to this dilemma-like situation, I pondered for a moment.
She opened her mouth softly.
“Do you remember team leader? “You decided to do two favors for me?”
“What nonsense are you talking about?”
“You can forget about that.”
“what?”
I was already busy traversing the Star Labyrinth to avoid the Labyrinth’s resentment that was chasing me, so what kind of random noise was this?
While I was wondering.
Limon kept his mouth shut.
No, I had no choice but to shut up.
The two delicate arms that were wrapped around his neck suddenly began to pull him in.
And before you know it, a shadow has appeared on your face.
It made his eyes widen.
And…
the side.
Soft warmth.
overlapped his lips.
While he was frozen by the surprise attack that was so sudden and unexpected that even the Sword Master could not prepare for it.
She slowly parted her lips from Limon and spoke a little awkwardly.
“It’s a bit lacking, but I’ll compensate you with this.”
“….”
“So please escape from here and save the world. “Definitely.”
“Na-kyung?”
“Then, team leader.”
Limon’s face hardened.
Before he knew it, she had released her arms from around his neck and placed both hands on his chest instead.
At the same time, seeing the smile on Yuna-kyung’s face, he reflexively strengthened the arm holding her, but…
“Hello.”
fault!
Unfortunately.
He couldn’t catch her.
As if she expected Limon to catch her, she used the power of the stars to escape his embrace.
Because it just jumped through space and disappeared.
…In the midst of Labyrinth’s resentment, which was chasing them like crazy, scattering starlight.
“Na-kyung!!!”
[Kyahahaha! I got it, I got it, I got it, I finally killed it, killed it, killed it, killed it!]
While Limon was amazed when he saw that.
Labyrinth’s resentment, finally catching her enemy, exploded into a frenzy and engulfed Yuna-kyung.
No, I tried to swallow it.
[Ugh? Kya cringe?!]
Ugh!
But right after that.
Labyrinth’s resentment hardened.
The moment when Yuna-kyung’s tattoos made of light appear all over her body and give off a soft glow.
This is because the remnants of starlight collected from the hundreds of constellations that made up him began to be rapidly absorbed by Na-kyung Yu.
At the same time, she took out a small scaled-down Santa Maria in one hand.
“Singsinga. “I’m sorry until the end, but I have to ask you a favor.”
Faaah!
Magic light flashes.
The Santa Maria disappears.
A change occurred in her tattered mechanical armor.
It becomes even thinner and clings tightly to the body, allowing not only the slender body but also the light flowing from the tattoo to shine through.
Even though it was damaged in many places, the light of the tattoo became stronger as the beautiful armor vibrated violently.
Fairy Armor (妖精機甲).
The Santa Maria, which the Fairy Queen created by consolidating all the technology of the Fairies, and the armor fused with the Ancient Spirit were amplifying her power.
“What did you do…!!!”
Limon was astonished.
It wasn’t just because he knew that absorbing the power of that enormous star would be tantamount to suicide, as he personally tattooed Yu Na-kyung.
After she absorbed the starlight.
This is because I realized it after seeing the rapidly stable labyrinth.
At this moment, Yuna-kyung is becoming the core of the collapsing labyrinth instead of the labyrinth’s resentment.
And that meant that she would not be able to escape this gap in time and space.
That’s why Limon hurriedly flapped his wings and tried to fly towards her in order to stop Yuna-kyung, but…
Kugugugugugung!
He was too late.
Even before absorbing starlight.
Yuna-kyung, who had already prepared everything, was controlling the Star Labyrinth before Limon even made a move.
“Hey, team leader.”
It was originally a blue bird.
Now let alone a baby bird.
It’s difficult even to be half human and half bird.
The moment when the fairy, who had suddenly become so mature and beautiful, smiled transparently as she saw Limon approaching her across the collapsing space and time.
“Actually, I’m the team leader….”
Paaaaaa!
A man is forcibly thrown out of a gap in space and time with an explosion of brilliant light.
I couldn’t finish my sentence.
With a fairy.
The labyrinth of stars.
-Collapsed.
