Chapter 754 - Day and Night (4)

Really… Really… You continue to do things that are impossible. Sage looked at Scythe piercing through his chest and released letters of disbelief. His injury dried and cracked, let out an acrid smell, burnt, froze, and repeatedly had different types of deaths on it.
The concept of death was from darkness. Sage had been swallowed by his source of power. It wasn’t something that should’ve been possible, but it was happening in front of him. It wasn’t enough to push Sage into complete destruction, but the hands of death closing around him was no pleasant feeling.
At that moment, Sage had no choice but to acknowledge Yeon-woo. Yeon-woo had only seemed like a card he could use, or a cute little creature trying to save his brother and family… But now, they stood shoulder to shoulder. But of course, this particular realization came too late.
Spurt! Blood poured out of what appeared to be Sage’s mouth. Sage was made of darkness, but the blood showed he had been injured significantly.
“The core of darkness is down…?”
『Unbelievable things are really happening one after another! Hm!』
Father. Stabbed. Father.
Then. Father.
Decided.
[The beings of ‘Day (Eros)’ are shocked at the ego of the Black King who has succeeded in injuring the main ego of the Black King!]
[The beings of ‘Night (Nox)’ wonder if the real dim-witted father has now been decided!]
“No…” But just then, Jeong-woo’s voice rang out in the silence. He seemed to be mustering all his strength to speak, but his voice held such an immense amount of holy power that the sound was delivered clearly. “It’s not over yet, so get yourselves together!”
[The beings of ‘Day (Eros)’ collect themselves and begin to push the army of Perished Gods again!]
[The beings of ‘Night (Nox) look toward their dim-witted father!]
Because Jeong-woo was controlling space, he knew that even if death had been implanted, it wasn’t enough to entirely eliminate Sage. Rather, it could be even more dangerous now.
Fine. Heavenly Demon. I don’t know what your big picture is, but I do know I’m being swept up in it.
But you must know I’m not a pushover.
A safe haven.
I need to make it no matter what.
With the release of more letters, black light shone from areas that seemed to be Sage’s eyes.
[‘Confusion’ has been forcefully transferred back from your opponent!]
『Keuk…! I did think he’d have something up his sleeve, but it’s really something ridiculous.』Kronos grunted as he saw darkness creeping up his sword form. On the surface, it looked the same as the darkness Yeon-woo used, but this darkness had a different color to it. Even its properties were different.
Confusion was a basic concept that led to illusions, chaos, and disorder. It was also the power that Sage used whenever dealing with Yeon-woo. While death toppled down its opponent, confusion broke everything apart and made it futile. Divinity, legends, holiness… No matter how great they were, they were all things that would crumble like sandcastles once the dream was awakened.
Sage made these qualities into concepts and used them as the main properties of his darkness. Just as Yeon-woo focused his powers on death, Sage did the same with confusion.
Naturally, this confusion was used effectively on the other egos as well. Although they were all united as one, they had their own wills and thoughts. Of course, they didn’t want to disappear so futilely. It was why they had submitted to Sage all this time.
But that confusion was now being moved onto Yeon-woo. Normally, it was impossible to force one’s holy power onto someone else unless there was a great difference in strength, but the problem was that Yeon-woo and Scythe were united at this moment.
Just as how Yeon-woo used Scythe to injure Sage, Sage was using the same path to force his holy power into Yeon-woo. In a way, it was a battle of pure strength.
[The spring of death spins at its fastest speed!]
[Death is still being transferred.]
[The spring begins to overheat because of its speed.]
[Warning! The blades of the spring become worn. The damage is significant. It is advised you use it again after some rest.]
[Warning! The degree of abrasion has become severe. It is advised you stop using the spring.]
…
[Warning! The spring’s durability has been depleted. The spring of death begins to break down due to overheating.]
[The invasion of confusion is occurring at a rapid speed.]
[Your divinity shakes precariously.]
[Your holiness crumbles precariously.]
[Your domains tremble precariously.]
…
[Warning! The confusion has reached deep into your spirit. It is attempting to invade your darkness.]
[Warning! Your title may be in danger if confusion reaches your darkness!]
…
[Warning! If you don’t do anything about the invasion of confusion, you may lose your strength as an ego of the Black King! It is very likely you will become lost in darkness! It is advised you quickly escape!]
Spark, spark. Sshhhk! Yeon-woo’s body faded as if there was a bad internet connection. His arm crumbled and was restored. His face turned into a different shape, then returned to its original form. His real body, the Giant Demonic Divine Dragon Body, appeared and disappeared multiple times… It was proof that all the components that made up the existence of Yeon-woo were being shaken.
Who will be swallowed by each other’s properties first? I wonder. Sage was still releasing letters in a composed tone, but there was a sharpness lying beneath them. I…was a starving ghoul at the very pits of the world, someone who was in darkness but not complete darkness. Why do you think I was able to come this far?
Hahaha. Sage let out soundless laughter. So just as I did in the past, I’ll feel better if I swallow you up too.
[Your opponent has been poisoned with ‘Death!’]
[You have received a curse of ‘Confusion’ from your opponent!]
Sage gripped Scythe and pulled it further inside of him. Spurt. It felt horrible, but he didn’t seem to care. Rather, he was enjoying it. The deeper Scythe was connected, the more his properties could be input into Yeon-woo. Spark, spark. The same kind of static appeared on Sage’s body.
The darkness spinning around the two now tangled randomly and there was almost no difference in their color. Yeon-woo’s eyes flashed coldly. If Sage had been a starving ghoul, Yeon-woo wasn’t second to anyone when it came to swallowing his enemies either.
[‘Hades Spirit Eating Sword’ is ravenously eating your opponent!]
[The Soulstone (Superbia·Gula·Luxuria) has awakened to grab the flag of victory!]
…
[‘Death’ has been mixed with ‘Confusion!’]
[It has mixed with your divinity.]
[It has mixed with your holiness.]
[It has mixed with your domains.]
…
[It is mixing with your existence!]
[Darkness cannot be differentiated. Your ego is repeatedly broken apart and put together.]
『Yeon-woo!』Kronos shouted his son’s name anxiously. Being used as a medium, his blade was also becoming dulled as his existence shook precariously, but he felt pity for his son who was putting his all into the fight of holy power. He wanted to tell Yeon-woo to cancel their united form so he’d be the only one to receive damage.
Yeon-woo must’ve known that was what Kronos was thinking, but he seemed to have no intention of doing so. Crash, crash, crash!
He’s more persistent than I thought.
Will we get a chance too?
Many Demonisms watched the fight between Yeon-woo and Sage with interest. They were prepared to jump into the fight at any moment. Even if one won after taking over the other, they’d be exhausted, so it was a great situation to fish in troubled waters.
As countless numbers of gazes continued to turn to their battle, messages that the army of Perished Gods had successfully been pushed outside the cracks popped up.
Boom!
[The ‘Army of Perished Gods’ has successfully been returned!]
[The master of ‘Day (Eros)’ has used ‘Absolute Power Space’ to block the cracks so the ‘Army of Perished Gods’ will not be able to come into darkness!]
“Hyung!” Jeong-woo quickly turned his gaze to where Yeon-woo and Sage were.
[‘Absolute Power Space’ has activated again!]
[The power of the seven stars is added.]
[The blessing of the Heavenly Demon follows.]
As if forcing open a sliding door, Jeong-woo grabbed the air with his hands and spread it apart. He felt Yeon-woo in his left hand and Sage in his right hand. He didn’t dare separate them one by one because their holy powers were too mixed together. Too much of Sage’s color was stained on Yeon-woo, and the same went for Yeon-woo’s color on Sage.
Jeong-woo left the identities of the two that clearly differentiated the two and attempted to split them apart again. Ssssssk! It made a sound that was similar to that of tearing paper. Yeon-woo and Sage were eventually flung away from each other. It was hard to see their shape because of the static, but the darkness that mixed them was also forced apart.
“…Keuk!” Yeon-woo glared at Sage with an exhausted expression. Even if they were split apart, the different darknesses were fighting inside of his body.
The same went for Sage, who released weary letters. How…tiring. I didn’t think you’d be this persistent. How can you still maintain your identity when so much of you has been swallowed?
Of course, Yeon-woo didn’t answer Sage’s questions.
Well, I suppose it must be the only choice you have.
Anyhow.
Looks like there are a bunch of bastards who are going to wear us out even more. What are you gonna do?
Yeon-woo frowned and looked toward the Demonisms who were now openly revealing their murderous intent.
Keekeekeek.
Hey. Hey.
Yeah. There are two very desirable fruits now.
With horrific laughter, the Demonisms that had been asleep all this time began to wake up one by one.
