Chapter 87 – Ouroboros (3)
Jubuk
Sangjin, who was treating his wounds because of the battle he had during the day, flinched at the sudden voice which came from behind.
“It’s been a while. Hansoo.”
He had heard the voice after a very long time but a burdensome mind came up instead of a welcoming mind.
Since he probably came in with a method that he couldn’t even fathom.
“Have you been well?”
“There’s something I want to ask.”
“Do you really need me?”
But it wasn’t him that he needed but rather somebody who fit his role.
To stronger and more talented people.
Hansoo shook his head at those words.
Since he could just give that to him.
What he needed was somebody he could trust.
“I came here because of that.”
Sangjin squinted his eyes.
“It didn’t matter if your mind changed up until this point and left. Since it’s quite a burdensome job.”
“There was a few things I’ve given you but it can’t even be compared to the thing you have done for me. I thank you for that.”
He had to be thankful.
Hansoo continued to speak.
Retrieve.
But by the way he talked the method of retrieval was probably set already.
Sangjin gulped while looking at Hansoo’s eyes that was turning heavier.
Guuuuuuuu
Exactly 8.
Carefully since the parasites might disturb them from cutting up the nerves if they find out.
Hansoo touched the small earring on his ear and shook his head.
It wasn’t an object that was easy to acquire but of course the Six Pillars would have something like this.
‘They’re asking me to fight more fervently huh.’
“Don’t make such an expression.”
Miyamoto’s expression didn’t change as he spoke.
As if he gave up on maintaining his mask, Miyamoto replied bluntly.
‘Damnit. I charged in without thinking.’ ‘No, he might’ve known already.’
Asking if he didn’t want to fight.
Since the fact that he was playing around on his hand enraged him so much.
‘Yeah. Since this had happened already…’
If he were to go up with that strength then he will become a huge help in the upper zones.
And this battle with the Ouroboros might become that change.
A secret that nobody knew except him.
MIyamoto then thought of the conversation he had with the owners of the other Pillars.
No matter how strong he was he couldn’t block this place by himself.
He couldn’t be stuck here forever.
Those who could maintain the Akuma’s seal. Everyone including Eres nodded.
And seen the numbers steadily rising.
But they didn’t just go over this.
The first patriarch of the Triple Lights Union, Pao Ren.
A promise would be made when both sides agree.
The penalties would differ depending on the level.
A trait which could only be used if one had absolute faith in their strength.
‘Damnit. If I break it then I’ll just die.’
A formless chain which tied down his heart. The promise back then were two things.
A welcoming noise on Miyamoto’s terms.
Since his current goal was peace and not growth.
And second.
<…>
Of course it didn’t matter.
That guy had probably set up such limitations in order to maintain the balance and to keep him from taking those things and becoming a king of the Red Zone and messing it up.
Why would they leave behind weak items when his job was protecting their family.
A trait which he had hidden from everyone.
To a maximum of seven people.
Since the other six could use them if he had them.
‘And another thing that I never told anyone.’
If the difference in levels is quite large then he would be able to even control them.
The Six Departed Souls received high level battle abilities from Miyamoto’s soul fragment but he could somewhat control their bodies with the trait he had if he wanted.
Since the other six were slaves if Miyamoto was the owner.
To the point where they can control the Akuma’s seal but couldn’t resist his own control.
Miyamoto, who followed the idea of safety first, could not stand having a single hint of threat.
The skills and artifacts that may become a threat to him that the owners of the Pillars had left behind were all given to one person and hidden. ‘I didn’t break the promise.’
And he had given them to the people who were helping him maintain the seal.
At first he had thought that he could control them so he tried to raise them with the Soul Fragment.
If he couldn’t use it then others couldn’t use it as well.
“Let’s start. Don’t drag it out. I want to finish this damnable job as quick as possible.”
‘There’s no need for me to take the risk.’
Since something like that was possible even if controlling them for a long time was hard.
“Let’s go out. Follow the plan.”
Then they would regroup between the 5th and the 8th vertebras and prepare for battle.
It would only become slow and weaker.
Soon everyone dispersed as they started to fall towards the body of the Ouroboros at an extreme speed. Kugugugugugu
From 8 locations at the same time.
At the same time the World Tree shook while making crushing noises.
It probably just felt like being poked with a needle with its size but getting poked by a needle would still hurt.
“Damnit! Evacuate in between the World Tree Roots! Evacuate!”
As the Ouroboros shook his body, the Parasites were falling from the sky like rain.
No, they would just get shredded apart if they were to even get touched by the tail of the Ouroboros while maintain the formation.
They had to now hide in between the roots and fight the parasites. Jukma grinded his teeth as he saw this.
He had thought of a way to escape no matter what until now but that was now impossible.
At the current situation that was being shaken back and forth by a single person.
‘This is really frustrating.’
Hansoo had told him to stop his works so he had stopped.
‘I should go vent out my anger.’
Basically a cataclysm.
It wasn’t weird for a few people to die off in a chaotic situation like this.
‘Let’s see your expression after this all ends.’ Sangjin drooled as he arrived at the destination deep within the World Tree
In this destination there were treasures that Hansoo had spoken of.
And Sangjin slightly frowned at the female who had those things equipped on her.
An unconscious female who had three limbs cut off and was barely being kept alive with a tube with nutritional fluids through stuck in her mouth.
His true self could not hold onto his rage and had shown itself.
And he also needed things to make those guys useful.
It might’ve been different in the past but his heart will get crushed if he broke the promise now.
To the person who had received the final fragment.
Jukma laughed coldly as he started to send messages towards a location.
Sangjin gulped at the sight of the female who had extremely fancy artifacts on her body and had numerous skill runes on her single arm left which made her look even more pitiful.
