Survival Story of a Sword King in a Fantasy World-Chapter 173

Kill the Queen (6)

Kibie looked at Ryu Han-bin as she approached.

“Are you feeling well?”

Due to the brutal battle, his injuries from the fighting spirit were also serious.

It was questionable how he could even continue standing.

“Well, what about you, Kibie?”

“Not as bad as you.”

Even if she said so, Kibie was also in a terrible state.

Everyone was.

Artis, Effir, and the six Templar Lords staggered up.

Leon Hart used healing skills on everyone.

Meanwhile, Sabine Asil asked.

“Why is Hollien’s body gone, Kibie?”

“I don’t know. I’m not even sure if there’s any way to find out.”

Ryu Han-bin pointed at the divinity of darkness floating in the air.

“Anyway, we have to do something with that fast.”

Kibie’s complexion darkened.

“That’s true, but…”

She was hesitating in front of her much-desired divinity.

In wonder, Frederick asked.

“Is there a problem?”

Gazing at the darkness, Kibie replied slowly.

“The power of Omphalos and the divinity of Kybriel are fused. I didn’t expect that to happen.”

“Is it dangerous?”

“I’m not sure.”

However, it was impossible to let it go.

Kibie made a decision and reached out.

Zoom…

Naturally, the darkness was sucked into her.

Nothing big happened.

There was no miracle akin to undergoing a cataclysmic change or roaring of strong energy.

It just went back to where it was supposed to be as if nothing had happened.

But Ryu Han-bin was worried.

‘Will that be alright?’

Even when he took the sacred heart of darkness, there was a much bigger reaction than that.

For some reason, he felt ominous.

As if to confirm his doubts, Kibie frowned.

“As expected… there’s a problem.”

* * *

The Top Three had used the power of the demon to steal the Goddess’s divinity.

But the divinity was too difficult to handle without the Goddess’s wisdom.

It was a double-edged sword.

On the other hand, Kibie, the true owner of it, grabbed the divinity.

It was hers in the first place, and it was within reach.

“But it won’t move.”

It wasn’t difficult to grip the sword of darkness.

But she couldn’t pull the sword out of the rock called the ‘Complete Omphalos’s Blessing.’

“I can hold it, but I don’t have the power to handle it.”

Kibie murmured in a melancholic voice.

Anxious, Palmer asked.

“Then what should we do?”

“What we need to do.”

The incarnation of darkness smiled bitterly.

“I need more power.”

Kybriel’s divinity was shared between the Top Three.

They deliberately divided it amongst themselves since they couldn’t handle it alone.

Only the three of them together, and the stolen power of Omphalos, could control the divinity of the darkness.

In other words, if the three parts of her divinity were reunited, then the power of Omphalos could also be controlled.

“Divinities being held by Garhan and Genovia should be collected as well. That way, it’ll be complete.”

Han-bin frowned.

“Wait, so you’re saying nothing’s changed?”

Kibie lamented for herself.

“Yeah, I am still an incompetent incarnation.”

Leon Hart frowned slightly.

“We’re in trouble.”

He had expected that the fight in the future would be more comfortable because they had killed the Transcendental.

Even if she weren’t a complete Goddess, she would be far stronger after regaining some of her divinity.

But didn’t that mean that there were still two absolute beings left they had to fight with still a slim chance of winning?

Everyone’s faces looked grim.

“Still… Fortunately, it’s not that bad.”

Kibie’s expression lightened slightly.

“I know how they robbed the divinity.”

* * *

Kibie took the divinity of the darkness and the blessing of Omphalos at the same time.

That made it impossible for her to deal with the divinity, but it became possible to check the demon’s power in return.

“Of course, my powers are limited in this form, and most of them are still undetectable, but…”

However, she could get some information with her shadow reading skill.

The ‘Lord Throughout Heaven and Earth’ could suppress the divinity.

“That skill is available not only to Han-bin but also all the other Aliens.”

It was activated based on Latna’s four major forces.

It wasn’t only possible to use Aura as Mana, Prana, and Force.

“The only thing that matters is whether you can use your skills or not.”

Naturally, the same ability existed in the Latna-style Guideline, the ‘Complete Omphalos’s Blessing,’ modified by the Top Three.

The Thunder King separated the divinity control skill from the Guideline. The Archmage then analyzed and reconstructed the separated skill, and the Transcendental removed the demon’s influence from the result.

That sheer power of divine control had overtaken Kybriel, who had let her guard down.

“Hollien’s already shown us what it was like, right?”

Without rebelling, Kybriel was completely overpowered.

It wasn’t as low as Hollien’s to Lv. 1, but she was one of the three absolutes of the world.

Suddenly, Kibie swept down her chest.

“Coming to think of it, I’m glad Baotolt didn’t betray me.”

Hollien hadn’t recognized Ryu Han-bin’s skill, the Lord Throughout Heaven and Earth.

It was an Aura-based divinity control skill, and the knowledge they knew was only that of Spiritists, Magic Swordsmen, and Mages.

“If even he betrayed me and had known about that skill, which can be activated using Aura, Hollien wouldn’t have committed the mistake to take the divinity.”

Later, the Top Three that subdued Kybriel used another technique to absorb the darkness’s divinity.

“The power of absorption. That skill was made by restructuring the ability, Cheonmanghoehoeisobulsil.”

Han-bin’s eyes widened.

“Oh, I know that, too.”

“… What?”

“I mean, when I reached level 7, I…”

After hearing Ryu Han-bin’s explanation, Kibie became serious.

“Don’t ever use it. We’ll be in big trouble if you use it.”

“I don’t intend to use it, but… Why?”

“How should I explain this…”

After organizing her thoughts for a moment, she continued.

“I must first explain why Aliens’ bodies disappear.”

Although Latna’s Mageshad studied so much, they still hadn’t found out the reason behind that.

Even the Goddesses didn’t know as much as that… until recently.

“Aliens that died in Latna are resurrected by returning them to Omphalos’s dimension.

It wasn’t such a comfortable story where they would be revived, and that would be all.

“And after being burned to the soul, they are absorbed by Omphalos. Not only the body and soul, but also the Guidelines they had, and the experience they had in Latna.”

It was, so to speak, ‘taking all the resources invested.’

The system was designed to use the Earthlings to plunder Latna’s resources and turn them into the demon’s power without loss.

The Templar Lords exclaimed their shock.

“Oh, my God!”

“It’s not enough to make fun of their life and death…”

“Even their soul won’t rest in peace!”

“That’s awful!”

Ryu Han-bin also got goosebumps.

Am I also supposed to become food for Omphalos if I died?

‘Oh, I’m glad I didn’t commit suicide.’

To be honest, he had been tempted a lot when he was in the Rocky Mountains.

He thought there was a chance that he would be able to go back to Earth if he committed suicide.

‘It was absolutely right that I didn’t listen to the monsters.’

Kibie continued.

“And there’s another skill hidden in that divine absorption ability.”

Hidden Passive Skill, God’s Possession.

No matter if the elite person wanted or not, that skill was automatically activated after using Cheonmanghoehoeisobulsil.

“What is it?”

“Divinity self-destruction.”

“Huh?”

“When Aliens absorb the divinity of the Goddesses, they explode themselves. And after the corpse are transported to his dimension, the divinity absorbed will be eaten by Omphalos.”

If the demon plans to kill all six Goddesses, Aliens need to be that strong, so it’s natural to have the ability of divinity absorption?

That was too naive.

Why would the demon take such a risk when the elite with the divinity could escape his influence?

Rather, it was safer to collect them after they killed even one Goddess firmly.

That was how ‘consumables’ were used ‘efficiently’.

“The control and absorption skills cannot be forced because the four forces of Latna must be used with the will of the Aliens, but the self-explosion is possible without their will.”

At the end of the explanation, Kibie grinned.

“I’m glad you’re not greedy, Han-bin.”

If he had been greedy, he would’ve already disappeared from Latna and given the divinity and spirit of the darkness to Omphalos, who would then burn him all the way to his soul.

Other Templar Lords also nodded.

“If it were any other Alien, they would’ve been blinded by greed and absorbed the divinity right away.”

“They wouldn’t even know they’re going to die.”

“You deserved to be chosen by Kybirel.”

With pride, Artis shrugged.

“Since the first time we met, Han-bin has been a nobleman. He can’t covet it if it doesn’t belong to him.”

Warm eyes filled with deep trust poured from all sides.

“Oh, well, it’s…”

Ryu Han-bin was sweating profusely.

‘… I should keep it a secret that I considered it for a while.’

Regardless, he knew the reason why Hollien’s body had disappeared.

It must’ve been one of the functions of the Guideline.

Leon Hart asked Kibie a question.

“So even the Transcendental became the prey of the demon?”

“Not really.”

The Top Three had removed the demon’s influence from the Complete Omphalos’s Blessing.

There was no influence, so she didn’t need to go back to the dimension of the demon.

“She’ll just go back to her home realm and come back to life.”

“Wait, that means…”

The Templar Lords were all frozen.

Hollien’s returning to her original dimension and being revived?

Isn’t Latna where she belongs?

“Yeah, she’ll come back soon.”

In a calm response, Kibie looked at the Blue Moon Aurora Coat, which fell on the floor.

The same place where Hollien died.

Paaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa…

Particles of light began to form in the air one by one.

Particles grew and clumped together.

The lumpy particles appeared and gathered in the material world.

After a while, the light changed to a blue-haired Nymph beauty.

“Like that.”

Surprised, Han-bin and the Templar Lords took a step back.

Kibie shook her head.

“You don’t have to be nervous. She’s already lost all her powers.”

Some of her spirits became Ryu Han-bin’s experience points, and Kibie absorbed the remaining Prana because it was fused with the darkness’s divinity.

At that moment, she was no longer the Transcendental.

She was just a nymph who didn’t have any power.

Kibie looked down at the fallen Hollien.

“Now, what should we do with this child?”
