Chapter 1559
Feel me.
See me, covet me, swallow me, and make me yours.
The will of the dark orb was amplified over and over again.
The yangbans and demons on the field were instantly fascinated.
They forgot the past and present, losing themselves as they started to obsess over the future proposed by the bead.
They were convinced that their future after swallowing the bead would be great. It was based on the enormous energy contained in the bead.
‘I will be sure to take first place in the next trials with that power.’
‘There will be no need for the worship of humans. That thing. The moment I get my hands on it, I will become a god.’
‘I will return to hell and wear a crown.’
‘I will get revenge. I will surely get revenge...’
Baal’s fragment of power was like a furnace.
It captured the desires and resentment of all living things around it.
In the surge of heat, reason and knowledge were killed.
Both the yangbans and demons howled like beasts.
They didn’t realize that their hands extending toward the bead were digging through the brains of their colleagues.
They didn’t feel that their eyeballs looking at the bead were being pulled out by the colleagues’ hands.
Everything was insignificant in front of the bead.
They only desired the bead without recognizing anything other than the bead.
Kurarararara!
Bones and flesh melted from the flames being fired by the dragon in the sky.
However, no one cared about her.
On the ground that had turned into a sea of fire, the demons and yangbans seemed to be dancing.
It seemed like a bizarre hell.
“They are crazy.”
Old Sword Demon sighed. The spirit of the world was broken. He couldn’t figure out what to do first in this frightening and confusing situation.
Kyaaaak!
Agnus’ skeleton soldiers were plunging into the flames.
Agnus, who was watching those being killed in vain, spoke to him, “Three seconds after the flames are formed, the damage coefficient will sharply decrease. Remember the sequence of flames and move.”
Step.
Agnus threw himself into the roaring barrier of fire. It seemed right that he would turn to ashes, but he crossed it unharmed.
Old Sword Demon chased after him while clicking his tongue.
‘What am I doing with this guy?’
He didn’t like the situation.
The flames that spread like waves and formed a labyrinth, the heat of the crazy people that was as hot as flames, the back of the dragon standing tall like a mountain, Agnus calmly watching the sight, and the destruction that seemed unavoidable...
There was only despair.
Old Sword Demon was frustrated, but he moved forward.
He attacked the flames in the way that Agnus suggested and gave a helping hand to the people trapped in the labyrinth.
Before he knew it, his body was covered with burns.
He repeatedly burned his body to rescue the people threatened by flames that hadn’t yet weakened.
“Laugh if you want to laugh. I won’t blink even if you mock me!” Old Sword Demon made eye contact with Agnus and roared.
He was enduring the burning pain from his hands that stretched out to a boy.
The isolated boy couldn’t hold his hand and was becoming ashes when Agnus approached the boy’s side.
“Stay still.”
He didn’t take off the boy’s robe with fireballs stuck to it. Rather, he embraced it and grabbed the boy, pulling the boy out carefully so that the boy wasn’t alarmed.
“Thank you...!”
The tearful boy relied on Agnus.
It was because he didn’t know that Agnus was a murderer who couldn’t wash away his sins even if he saved a million more people in the future.
The boy didn’t see Agnus’ ugly body hidden in the burning robe.
“...Disgusting guy,” Old Sword Demon frowned and criticized Agnus.
It wasn’t until he lost his strength that he took up the pretense of good will. It was so ridiculous that Old Sword Demon scoffed.
“It is no use thinking about saving yourself until you regain your strength. Your past will never be washed away no matter what tricks you try in the future. Everyone will just remember your misdeeds and hate you forever.”
“Where are your parents?”
Agnus didn’t confront Old Sword Demon’s criticisms that were close to a curse. He only questioned the boy and the boy answered with difficulty.
“They passed away a few years ago...”
“I might’ve been the one who killed them.”
“......?”
Agnus took his eyes off the boy who didn’t understand him and made eye contact with Old Sword Demon.
“I don’t think I can erase my past. I don’t intend to ask anyone for forgiveness, nor do I intend to be a good person.”
It was closer to a grumble than a pledge.
“I’m simply going to live as I please, while doing the things I want to do.”
They were grumpy words that had no sense of responsibility and induced a feeling of disgust.
Old Sword Demon was finding this attitude disgusting when he suddenly had a thought.
He didn’t feel disgusted when Agnus saved the child just now.
It meant that Old Sword Demon wouldn’t have liked it no matter what Agnus said.
Yes, it was an irreparable relationship.
Consuming his emotions in relation to Agnus was a luxury in itself.
Just ignore it. For now, it was right to focus on the situation.
‘He is trash rolling around on the side of the road. A dog’s poop. There is no need to pay attention to him...’
Old Sword Demon’s focus was incredible after he regained his mind.
He quickly rescued people from the labyrinth of flames and drew
