chapter 305
died 43 times.
Not joking, he really died. dead but alive Shall we say that he is the closest to omnipotence?
It has overwhelming power enough to reverse even fatal attacks.
If you put your mind to it, it won’t end in fragments, but it’s possible to be revived right away.
“Would you like to continue?”
Satan didn’t watch.
He took care of my circumstances and did not promote my growth. As if it was only natural, he revealed his power straight away and killed me several times.
If death hurts, it’s not. Because it was too fleeting.
The moment I realized that I was burning with Satan’s breath, I was already in a desperate situation. That’s how much firepower it is.
It’s not without pain… … .
It was a little far from the ‘pain leading to death’ that I should have felt originally.
“Yes, we will continue.”
So I can still endure it.
Because I’m not afraid of pain. What I’m afraid of is that I can’t do anything at a critical moment because I’m cowering in the pain.
“Do you really think that sparring like this is really helpful?”
“Yes, it will.”
It’s because I’m getting a little bit of courage. That’s enough for now.
“Getting used to suffering isn’t all good.”
“I know.”
“Rather, the thing to be wary of above all else might be getting used to the pain itself.”
“I guess so.”
Anyway, how could I not know?
I’ve already stepped on a similar train once.
Lucia said.
Don’t get used to the pain and become insensitive. He said he grew up among such people and knows how painful it is to watch.
That’s why you shouldn’t show insensitivity to pain, such as making your own pain part of your plan.
“Would you still do it?”
“Nevertheless, it has to be done.”
“why?”
“It will not be a sacrifice, but a risk that will inevitably have to be taken.”
There is no ‘easy way’ in this case. No matter what plan you make, pain will accompany you.
It is not pain that I am wary of.
It is the fear that comes with pain.
The feeling of shaking my limbs, shrinking my body, and wanting to close my eyes is what worries me the most.
“So now I have to go even though I know the road will be rough. Because that is the only way.”
“Right. That’s good.”
Satan breathes in.
It’s an unnecessary act for him, but if it’s a ritual of something, the story is different.
Satan’s [Breath], an authority of absolute power that a dragon possesses from the moment it is born, burns.
“Whoa… … .”
Due to the nature of the basement, it is a narrow space that is bound to be limited. Until now, I had been helpless against the overwhelming heat wave that filled such a small space in an instant.
It wasn’t that there was no way.
I just needed to prepare my mind.
It took more than 40 deaths just to prepare for it.
Satan’s breath was on the side of giving me a peaceful death.
Because of that, it took time to mentally prepare.
Of course, changing your mindset won’t change the results.
Perhaps I will perish in this heatwave and what I do now will at best change the course.
“If I can’t even struggle, then I don’t deserve anything.”
transcendental magic
[Prometheus]
A magic that was able to be completed after the encounter with ‘Zanbul’.
It kindles the flame of struggle created by Professor Prudence Loa.
If it was a body that was transformed into an incarnation of fire, it would be able to withstand even Satan’s breath to some extent.
“Oh… … .”
Of course, the opponent is God.
It is the most omnipotent monster.
There was no way that Satan’s breath could be stopped just by deploying one [Prometheus].
Unstoppable. It is a definite matter.
I will face the 44th death. It’s also very painful.
It took courage to move forward even in the state of knowing all that.
The heat that can’t even scream is raised against the heat with one magic.
“Puha… … !”
When I came to my senses, I was back to my original seat.
He breathes heavily as if he has escaped from a sea of heat.
“ha… … . ha… … .”
His body returned to its pre-battle state, but his mind seemed to be otherwise, and his legs trembled and he fell to his knees.
There was a definite pain. Even though there was a part that was halved to some extent due to the effect of [Prometheus].
The flames of Satan etched the pain and terror into my soul unmistakably.
“Would you like to continue?”
“Ugh… … !”
He shrinks his body at Satan’s question, which sounds inorganic.
The glorious 44th death. The more you overcome, the more you see the gap between each other.
I’m afraid to make eye contact.
yes, that’s why
“Yes, we will continue.”
This experience has meaning to me.
Fear has always given me the weapon of prudence.
I don’t mean to deny that.
It’s just that this time it’s the opponent that the weapon doesn’t work on. If so, just prepare another weapon.
This is a plan because I’m a coward.
This is what I endure harshness to get out of cowardice.
“A little bit, I got used to it.”
The conclusion has been out for a long time.
If you are unsure of your opponent’s means, you should put a check on them and make them discard their cards.
If that doesn’t work, you have to run away.
If you can’t run away, there is only one answer.
die or die
There are only those two prerequisites for an unavoidable fight.
It’s simple.
What can you trust when walking in the dark where you can’t see anything?
There are no torches. There is no road.
Then the only thing I can trust is my senses to move even in fear.
As usual.
I have always overcome the fear of the unknown. This time, it’s just a little simpler.
“Shouldn’t we at least touch that fancy crown of yours?”
“My crown is nice.”
The longer the pain lasts, the less the will to resist.
If you can’t overcome that, you can’t stand in front of Thanatos, which is no different from the concept of ‘death’.
Pain breeds fear.
But fear will breed courage.
Yes, I’m just in the process.
“I will try to survive a little longer this time.”
to never be shaken again.

“ha… … . What do you really want me to do with you?”
Janus let out a deep sigh and took a quick look at the uninvited guests.
The basic policy of <Parade> is laissez-faire. It means that you don’t really care what you’re doing and when. It’s fine if you just help out at important moments.
But anyway, isn’t this too much?
“I want you to save me.”
“Shut up. Lesis. Before I really kill you.”
In his own way, a guy who is said to be an executive of an organization is so light-mouthed that his heart is not stuffy and exhausted?
Lesis drew in [Solvent]. No, should I say other things including [solvent]?
‘Well, there are things that seem ambiguous to call others.’
Janus’s eyes, looking at the faces of the people who came to visit him, stopped in front of Eleanor and Justitia.
The warrior side knew.
Because it was a monster that stood out in the past hundreds of regressions.
I tried pulling it several times, but the wick was so straight that I couldn’t shake it no matter how hard I tried.
and Eleanor von Chrysos.
That far exceeded the growth rate Janus knew.
I don’t know what the hell he did, but he’s a completely different person.
“Um, so. What did you say?”
Janus was not nervous even with the [Solvent] in front of him.
It was because he had already grasped how weak she had become in their previous encounter.
[Dragon Emperor], who used to be an overwhelming force, is now barely on par with [Black Dragon].
It was an acquisition for that in the first place.
Of course, I want to avoid the battle itself. And it is enough just to create the form of an equal position.
“I’ll let you go this time, so Pied Dawn, lend me that bastard.”
“No, isn’t that strange? What do you mean by breaking into my hideout where I was doing nothing? It’s pretty unfair to say that.”
“Well, he must have been plotting a dirty trick anyway.”
“No, it’s really unfair.”
Of course, Janus is usually up for dirty tricks.
But this time it’s really unfortunate.
It was because he was taking a break because he needed to organize his mind in many ways.
The fact that he might have already lost to Oz was a shock, and he thought he had barely recovered the half-cut key, which was no different from his own soul, but there were more fragments.
However, the subordinate caused a problem, and now some uninvited guests came and started threatening him with a red flag.
I have never wanted to cry so much, even in countless regressions.
“If I say no… … No, it’s not that I hate it, so put that magic aside for now. is it a home? home.”
This is why lizard babies.
Janus had a headache at the sight of a tyrant who did not tolerate even the slightest assumption. Are all dragons the same shape?
Why did I bring these things up? Oh, did Oz do it first?
Janus rubbed his eyes at the mental strength that was being cut down every moment.
“I’ll check it out right away. Thanatos, is it because of that bastard?”
“yes.”
“Oh, damn it. Why is that baby suddenly f*cking? ”
Janus sighed.
Actually, Oz wasn’t the only one who fell into Thanatos’ trap.
Janus was also caught in Thanatos’ spell.
‘I just calmed him down.’
Janus looked at Nyx’s arms crossed in a shadowy place. He pretended to be calm, but his eyes burned with a desire that could not be greater than this.
Thanatos contacted Nyx just a few days ago.
Nyx has been stimulating this side by using the soul of [The First Demon King] as a hostage.
Originally, it would have been just a means to contain the powerful [Black Dragon].
But the situation is too complicated.
If you think about it like that, it comes to the conclusion that Thanatos must have predicted the situation that would unfold now.
Oz brought in the [solvent]. In order to oppose him, this side also needs a decisive battle weapon called a dragon.
Therefore, you must maintain a good relationship with [Black Dragon] as much as possible.
“hahahaha.”
got hit Janus couldn’t help but think so. I had never cared about Thanatos until now.
The purpose of Janus is the obliteration of all faith, but its scope is limited to this world.
That’s why no matter what tricks he did in <Underworld>, he didn’t need to be conscious unless it was directed at himself.
It is impossible for them to hold hands with the existence of this world because of the fraud that kills life just by existing.
Even if <Underworld> decides to launch a large-scale invasion and turn the world into a mess, wouldn’t it be nice?
But this is not it.
On the other hand, I’ve never even thought about it.
Thanatos created a situation that could never be refused.
“really… … . No matter how twisted it is… … . hey f*ck.”
It was a dirty and annoyingly insidious plan.
If the current [Solvent] was the opponent, it would be easy to run away.
No, you might be able to knock it down.
However, it is an ally who has the same problem.
Janus had barely managed to convince Nix. There is no need to take risks, saying that if we turn back time, we will be able to meet again.
It was difficult to convince Nix, who acted on emotion rather than reason.
While I barely managed to calm myself down, they came upon me with the same problem.
“Well, okay. After all, we also had business in the underworld.”
This is an opportunity for the Knicks.
Until now, Janus with the means had the upper hand, but in the face of an imminent threat, the relationship is bound to reverse.
The moment he refuses, the relationship will crack and Janus may lose the means to stop Tia.
No, on the contrary, it can be betrayed.
“Should this be a temporary alliance?”
“A temporary alliance? It’s good.”
“Oh, no, I don’t think so. After just crossing the door… … .”
Janus looked at Tia, who didn’t even try to hide the fact that he was going to stab him in the back, and put on a puzzled expression.
It can’t be anything but a villainous idea to kill himself when the business is over.
“No, you go first. We’ll come in later.”
Like Oz, Janus knew at least that he was unlucky, but… … .
‘This feels pretty bad.’
This time, the clear signs of “death” that had come before her eyes felt more ominous than usual.
“Oh, how are you going to do this?”
While thinking about that, Tia pointed at Lesis, who was being held captive.
Honestly, from Janus’ point of view, what Lesis did was a betrayal.
“porridge… … . No, I want you to hand it over. Are there any conditions?”
But Janus decided to understand. It wasn’t because Lesys was a valuable force. I just thought it was a poor reason to cut out my colleagues.
Betrayal is betrayal. However, Janus did not gain enough loyalty within the organization to the extent that it would be okay to punish Lesis for his unavoidable betrayal.
It’s good to embrace it even if you’re anxious about a bar that will collapse.
“Well, since you said you were willing to cooperate with this matter, I’ll just hand it over.”
Tia glanced at Janus like that, then calmly put Lesis down and left.
“leader… … I was trusting the leader I will continue to be loyal to you.”
“… … .”
Janus immediately rubbed his hands and stared at Lesis who was flattering him, then sighed and said,
“For a while, go sightseeing in Neris Kingdom for recuperation. Lesis.”
“No, I will be with the captain.”
“Go.”
“Let me repay the favor.”
“Let’s go.”
“Captain, actually, tracking magic is attached to my body, right? So if I go out alone now, I will die.”
“Yeah, so let’s go.”
“… … .”
“… … .”
Janus was adamant.
Did you just let Lesis go? It’s only natural that you have to move to another place after you’ve been caught.
The other side probably doesn’t want to let go of the long-awaited tail.
So, let Lesis go.
And even with the [Solvent] tracking magic, which is said to be unparalleled when it comes to magic.
There is no way to solve this. Janus’ skills are not yet strong enough to break through Tia’s dragon words, and [Black Dragon] is not good at magic.
So what? The existence of Lesis is said to be a Trojan Horse.
“… … If you want to die, die alone.”
“Captain, loyalty… … Are you loyal? No, really!”
“No, let it go! Get out of here you madman.”
“Danzaaang!”
Janus was full.
And Lesis grabbed Janus by the crotch of his pants and hung on. It was a daily scene in <Parade> where there was no unity and only madmen.
