Chapter 248 – The Threat Has Failed
Metal screeching echoed around. Si Hoon, holding the Holy Sword, deflected the attack.
– Agrh!
He was pushed back and fell to the ground, his knees hitting the ground.
– Uh-uh-uh, – he tried to catch his breath.
The hand he was holding sword, trembling.
– Rudbich… – he raised his head, looking at the undead in front of him.
His skin was pale as befits a corpse, and his body was surrounded by Magi and terrifying green tentacles. This look was too different from what Si Hoon was used to.
– Damn, – the guy bit his lip.
Hands were trembling, and a strong fatigue pressed on the body, because of which he was ready to fall to the ground at any moment.
After the second collapse caused by Satan, he spent too much energy to save the camp.
“No, – Si Hoon struggled to grab his fading consciousness. “I cannot fall.”
He again focused his gaze on the disgraced Rudbich. It seemed that in the devastated eyes of the former apostle not a drop of humanity remained. Looking at this pathetic image, Si Hoon could not let go.
“I have to finish it myself.”
This is his task.
What he should complete.
If he doesn’t figure this out, it’s all in vain.
– Fuh, – he caught his breath again.
Concentrating, the guy activated Neigun.

– Kha-ah! – Rudbich screamed like a real monster.
Perhaps it resembled the scene of the formation of a zombie from a cheap movie.
“Always skeptical about such scenes…”
And now it happened to him.
The image of the defamed Rudbich is firmly imprinted in Si Hoon’s mind.
– A-ah! – Rudbich continued the attack.
Si Hoon tightly pressed his lips together and raised his weapon. Rudbich’s holy sword. A snow-white blade bearing the name of his friend.
The sword ignited, filling the entire space with its bright radiance. Rudbich, holding a sword from nowhere, rushed forward.
Sparks sparkled from the contact of their forces.
– Grrrr!
Rudbich stood up firmly and swung his sword sharply. He did not use any special techniques or complex movements, but simply attacked with all his might.
– Ah!
The guy ducked and dodged the attack, but the sword trembled and still slightly touched Si Hoon. A quick blow was followed by another, cutting the skin to the point of blood.
Si Hoon increased the distance between them.
“It is useless to attack in the forehead.”
Rudbich surpassed him in strength and speed. He continued to emit destructive Magi without stopping. In this situation, a frontal attack is comparable to suicide.
Si Hoon tightly compressed his lips.
He caught his breath. If the attack does not come out directly, then there was only one way out.
[Sword of the Winner]
The guy raised his weapon.
The swords lying on the battlefield began to rise to the air. Neigun, who was already small, left even faster.
– Agrh!
Si Hoon staggered. His head was spinning, everything inside was turning up and it seemed to him that he was about to vomit.
[Warning!]
[Neigun is not enough. If you continue to use power, you will lose control over it!]
– Oh-oh… – everything floated before my eyes.
His fingers twitched and he tried to pull himself together.
“Why…” – gritting his teeth, he raised his head.
Whether he lost control or not – it didn’t matter now.
The swords shot forward like bullets. Dozens of weapons headed for Rudbich’s body.
– A-ah! – he swung his sword again.
Now he attacked instinctively, like an angry wild beast.
The spears that flew into it broke. Iron hammers, sickles and swords too.
They staggered, broke and fell to the ground.
– Kx…
Bleeding came from Si Hoon’s mouth. The guy continued to use force, and more and more lost control of the situation.
He felt himself twisting. It seemed to him that instead of blood, lava began to flow in his body, burning him from the inside.
– A-ah!
He held out his hand in an attempt to pick up the fallen Holy Sword, but it fell out of his exhausted wrists.
Si Hoon immediately remembered that moment. He remembered how his hands did not obey after they were burned by Mamon.
Darkness began to approach him and fear enveloped his body.
– Kang… Kang Woo… – he said and looked around, looking for him with his eyes.
Every time at such moments he remembered Kang Woo’s face, who became closer to him than a blood member of the family.
Every time it happened.
When Si Hoon was in a desperate situation, Kang Woo would appear and help him.
And when Satan attacked him, and when Mamon burned him alive, and when he fought under Lucifer’s subordinates.
“And even when Kim Young Hoon tortured me.”
Kang Woo showed up at the most critical moment and helped him.
– Ha, – he chuckled.
The guy bent over, continuing to smile exhaustedly.
– That’s crazy…
Pathetic scum.
Cowardly fool…
He knew and understood this from the very beginning. Si Hoon just turned away from what he didn’t want to see.
“I …”
He never got up on his own.
Continued to live with someone else’s help.
That talent, will and faith…
If it weren’t for Kang Woo, all of this would not make sense.
Si Hoon extended his hand again, touching to the Holy Sword.
“We need to climb.”
He leaned on his sword like a cane and, trembling all over, got to his feet.
“If not now, then when?”
[Warning, warning!]
[You lose control of the situation]
– Shut up.
Si Hoon brushed aside the notifications that appeared before his eyes. Grabbing his sword, he dragged himself towards Rudbich.
“Kang Woo?”
He saw the guy from the back. The image of Kang Woo walking forward alone. There was absolutely no one next to him. Taking everything on his back, he walked forward.
How long will Si Hoon go behind Kang Woo? How long will he have to stupidly look after him?
Si Hoon gave strength to his trembling legs. Now neither Kang Woo nor Musin could help him.
For the first time, he was able to get to his feet on his own.
– I’ll go next to you.
Si Hoon followed Kang Woo.
***
He coughed up bright red blood.
His legs were trembling. It seemed that the eyes were about to roll back.
– A-ah…
Barely conscious, he raised his head. He saw Rudbich clutching his chest and fall to the ground. His heart was pierced by the Holy Sword. A sword named after him.
– Kim Si Hoon?.
He seems to have regained consciousness for a moment. Rudbich trembled and held out his hand to him.
– Careful, he… he… – Rudbich was going to say something.
Si Hoon, tightly pressing his lips together, gently laid Rudbich on the ground. It was not at all difficult to guess what he was going to say.
– I know, Rudbich.
Rudbich was silent.
– I will finish Satan with my own hands.
– No… he’s not…
– Rest.
Si Hoon could no longer let Rudbich endure the pain. He no doubt thrust the Holy Sword even deeper. Rudbich’s body turned to ash and scattered in the wind.
– Oh-oh…
He stood on trembling legs and looked around, watching the battle progress.
“Is it almost over?”
Somehow, unnoticed by him, the battle was drawing to a close.
Angels and Guardians of Light, together with the Guardians, oppressed the forces of darkness. Even the demons that had lasted until the end were now falling to the ground, bleeding.
He watched as the battle against the Hell’s followers moved towards his completion.
Si Hoon has let go of the Holy Sword. It turned into dust and entered the guy’s body. He wandered up the slope.
Shargiel.
Si Hoon noticed an angel with silver hair hurrying somewhere.
– Raphael! Come to your senses, Raphael!- shouted Shargiel, holding back the angel who had fallen to the ground.
Si Hoon approached them and asked:
– Did Satan do this to him?.
– Yes, – Shargiel nodded and bit his lip.
The guy clenched his fists and asked:
– What happened to Satan?
– Created a black rift and fled. And… Tyrion’s messenger followed him.
– W-w-what? – Si Hoon’s eyes widened.
The news sounded like a bolt from the blue to him.
– Kang Woo went after Satan alone?!
– Right.
Time seems to have stopped for Si Hoon. In complete shock, he stood before the angels, unable to find words. Even though it is Kang Woo, following Satan alone is like agreeing to suicide.
– Damn! Damn!
He came to his senses and immediately looked around. The black split was nowhere to be seen.
– Where exactly did this split appear?
– He’s already exhausted…
– Where?! – Shouted Si Hoon and grabbed Shargiel by the throat.
Although his strength was exhausted after the fight with Rudbich, he could not stand aside.
“We need to save him.”
Tired? An inability to control power? So what?
To save Kang Woo’s life, he is ready to break into pieces.
– There… – Shargiel looked at Si Hoon’s cold face and pointed to one side.
At that moment, a split appeared in the air, similar to a crack in glass.
Views of Si Hoon, Shargiel, everyone Angels and Guardians focused on the newly emerging rift.
– Oh, are you finished yet?
Angels and Players turned pale.
– Kang Woo!
Si Hoon rushed to the split with his arms outstretched. Light swirled around him, creating the Holy Sword. The guy looked worriedly at the split, which was getting bigger and bigger.
– Huh?.
– Kang Woo?!
A guy emerged from him, covered with wounds. Si Hoon immediately grabbed Kang Woo, who was about to fall, and Shargiel also walked briskly towards them.
– Kang Woo, how are you?
– Yes… um, okay, – Kang Woo curled.
Even though he said he was fine but that didn’t sound like the truth. His clothes had turned into rags, and red blood trickled down his body here and there.
Shargiel frowned and asked:
– Satan is… dead?
Everyone in the room froze.
Kang Woo tightly pressed his lips together and a heavy silence fell. Everyone was silent.
– Satan… – he clenched his fists and bit his lip. – Escaped.
Kang Woo shook his head as if every word was given to him with unbearable pain.
– Ah-ah…
We started from all sides moans can be heard.
So much blood has already been shed, so many lives have been taken away, and Satan is still alive. The demon from the prophecy is alive.
