Episode 170 Conclusion
The moment the Grim Reaper materialized.
Verden waited until the bastard used a powerful technique to prolong the moment a little longer. To seize a more certain opportunity.
'I didn't know it was a mental curse.'
The current curse was impossible to avoid.
But I didn't consider that in the first place. I hadn't lived a life so peaceful that I would be distracted by things like curses caused by the undead.
This is a predicted ending.
Comet, Rarenia.
Holy Spirit Magic.
The second star crushed the death blow without a trace.
[… … ?!]
The Grim Reaper's body flinched, but it was too late to dodge.
Soon, a comet in the night sky passed through the Grim Reaper in a straight line, swallowing him up.
────Kwaaaaaaaang!
A tremendous shock that shakes the consciousness.
Starting from the crater carved into the wall, several cracks stretched upward. Soon, the ceiling split open, and some of the debris fell down and landed in front of Nosa.
"omg!"
The startled old man sat down.
Still, his gaze was directed at Verden.
“Wh, what was that magic just now?”
It's not elemental magic, enchantment magic, black magic, or anything else.
Even though I've lived for over 80 years, this is magic I've never heard of or seen before. And on top of that, it's so magical that just seeing it makes me dizzy.
“Could it be that you’re a magician……?”
No, that can't be true.
I don't feel the presence typical of a magician from that wizard. Even though his magical power was sealed, I could tell that much.
Nosa shook his head and collected his wits.
'Yes, even if it's magic, it doesn't matter.'
I don't deny that I lost my composure because of the momentary feeling of ominousness.
But when I think back to the scene just before, that magic like the Milky Way was only physical.
The Grim Reaper has very high physical resistance.
Even if you can't use <Astralization>.
So, there may be some damage, but there won't be any major problems…
[Kaaaaaaaaaaaaah!]
“Ugh?!”
The scream of the Grim Reaper was eardrum-shattering.
The darkness inside the rags shook violently, as if the shock was considerable, but that was not what caught Nosa's attention.
'Milky Way?'
A dark cluster of stars shimmers across the Grim Reaper's body.
No matter how much I swung the scythe and resisted, it wouldn't even budge, let alone fall.
Traces of stars.
The comet's torrent runs counter to the flow. As long as the star cluster remains, the Grim Reaper will never be able to hide its true identity.
Of course, neither the union nor the management knew this fact.
He shouted with a face of horror.
“You! What the hell did you do to the Grim Reaper!”
“It’s been noisy since a while ago.”
<Inferno>
Hwaaaaah!
A blast of super-hot flames engulfed the old man and the Grim Reaper.
The bastard struggled in the flames, apparently embarrassed by his inability to hide his true identity.
And then the firebombing continued.
<Turbulence>
<Lava Strike>
<Firestorm>
From the cracked ground, lava gushed out, burning the rags, flaming spears of earth pierced the darkness, and a vortex of flame engulfed the Grim Reaper's entire body.
The struggling Grim Reaper swung his scythe vertically.
Hwaaaaaaaah! The storm split apart and scattered flames in all directions.
'Is this not enough to inflict fatal damage on him?'
then.
<Red Light>
A sphere of red flame was ejected from the Oculus.
The magic of the Grim Reaper hid itself in the darkness. Soon, a fierce flame erupted from within the creature. As most of the rags were burned, the identity of the Grim Reaper hidden inside was revealed.
[Kaaa… … ugh… … .]
A head of shaggy hair.
A body with bones that meet.
Arms and legs that have grown bizarrely.
The sight of that shabby appearance was absolutely horrific.

“It’s pretty unremarkable for a name like Grim Reaper.”
Verden laughed.
The Grim Reaper twisted his entire body when he saw him.
[Kaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!]
The scream of the Grim Reaper shook the air.
A wave of evil energy that went beyond the body and pressured the soul. The Grim Reaper lowered his scythe diagonally downwards, his eyes flashing with blue flames.
The old man, who had regained his body, shouted urgently.
“Oh, no! I didn’t give permission!”
Despite the dissuasion of Nosa, the Grim Reaper gathered his strength.
The old man had his entire soul stolen without even being able to stop him. In an instant, his body withered away, his vision became dizzy, and he fell to the floor helplessly.
The contractor collapsed.
Like it or not, the Grim Reaper concentrated his power in one place.
The scythe contains the word 'death'.
It's an unusual sense of oppression.
Verden had a feeling that this was the Grim Reaper's last move.
'That's what I wish for too.'
I was exhausted, but this fight that had started at the mausoleum was about to get boring.
Double casting.
<Active>
He manipulated the flames and pulled the surrounding flames into the air.
Preparations to maximize the original power. And then Verden's Eye was activated. The flames split into several branches and formed dozens of spears.
“Burn to death.”
Rain in the heat.
<Ragnark>
A hellish fire fills the void and falls.
[Kaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!]
The Grim Reaper swung his scythe without giving in.
<Death of the Soul>
A soul-destroying slaughter.
The worst 'curse' that brings unconditional death to life forms with a 'lower level of existence', and the souls struck by it cannot be saved by any light and will perish eternally.
The price is the soul of the contractor.
An invisible slash passed through the flames.
It was just a fixed curse that had no physical power. Even Verden was unaware that the last curse of the Grim Reaper had reached him.
He destroys those who dare to defy him.
At that fact, the Grim Reaper smiled faintly.
But that prediction was, as expected, off the mark.
Even though the curse was passed on, he did not die.
The soul did not even move, let alone perish.
[… … ?]
At the moment when he felt doubtful, Grim Reaper saw it.
An unprecedented presence lurking in the blue abyss within the human mind.
That is not something that a lowly human being can embrace.
Something that surpasses the level of existence that the Grim Reaper possesses, something that even high-level undead cannot dare to look at.
So the worst curse failed.
And as always, the failed curse comes back to haunt you.
[?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!]
<Destruction> tore apart Grim Reaper's soul.
Black blood gushed from every orifice in his body, and the Grim Reaper, unable to withstand the impact, dropped his giant scythe to the ground.
The Grim Reaper, whose soul had begun to fade, stared blankly ahead.
The hot heat that is gradually approaching.
An undead who reaps death, the Grim Reaper was certain of his own death.
Kwakwakwakwakwakwang!
* * *
The center of the ceremony was filled with smoke and the smell of coal.
Knock knock! Knock knock!
The old man slowly got up, coughing.
“What the heck happened…… Ah!”
The startled old man hurriedly felt around on his own body.
'I'm alive.'
He was alive, having had his entire soul stolen by the Grim Reaper.
However, it wasn't completely healed. Only a part of the soul had returned, and the skin was still dry.
'It's fortunate that I survived… … But why did my soul return?'
The two men tilted their heads.
Just then, the smoke cleared a little and the Commander's Orb was visible rolling on the floor.
and.
Jeok────!
“What…….”
The Commander's Orb was shattered.
The Commander's Orb, made with the blueprint of the Corpse's Glory, is made from a combination of magic and evil. In other words, it is physically impossible to destroy.
There are only two ways in which such a jewel can be damaged.
First, when the energy contained within is consumed below the standard.
Second, when the contract is breached.
The completed Command Orb has semi-permanent power. So, if we exclude the first case… … .
“The Grim Reaper has disappeared…?”
The union was left in a state of confusion.
I couldn't believe that Grim Reaper was affected. But as if to prove the truth, the sealed magic power returned.
That was when.
Magic sensed up close.
When Nosa turned his head in surprise, countless ice picks poured out from the smoke at once. It was truly a surprise attack.
“Kuaaaaaaah!”
The bitter cold bit into his fragile body.
Then, a thunderbolt struck. The man who was hit directly fell to the ground without being able to resist.
“Ugh, ugh……!”
'Oh my god. My body… …!'
He avoided death because his magic resistance was high.
However, due to the cold air and electric shock, his limbs did not move as he wanted. The same goes for his magic circuits.
A strong wind blew.
As the smoke cleared, Verden appeared.
A wizard who single-handedly destroyed the Grim Reaper.
"ah……!"
Only in the end did Nosa realize it.
The disappearance of the black magician sent to Mildrun.
The attack on the Marquis of Esperance and the death of Kunel who went to retrieve the Commander's Orb. The survival of Kalia who should have died in the tomb and the pursuit of the ritual site hidden in the rough terrain.
And now, with Viola's death and the disappearance of the Grim Reaper.
'If you think about it, it's been happening since the time he appeared in the kingdom.'
Yeah, the variable wasn't something like Kalia.
“You… you were the variable…!”
“You guys were the variables to me.”
Thanks to you, what started as a union has come this far.
Still, it wasn't all that bad.
Not only did it help me climb the 5th tier, but it also allowed me to see if that power would work for magicians.
'Well, of course it wasn't their intention.'
anyway.
“Glory of the Corpse, what is your purpose?”
“Yes, you… is that why you kept me alive to ask that?”
“I wasn’t really curious until recently, but… my thoughts have changed.”
The self-destruction of the warlocks.
Undead forces unleashed in the southern part of the kingdom.
Mages and powerful undead.
If you weren't curious about what an organization with so much power and so much information could be hiding, you weren't a wizard.
The old man laughed and spat out blood.
“Kekekeke, do you think I’ll tell you? If I had just said it so lightly, I wouldn’t have put a curse on the warlocks. And that curse was put on me too.”
“I guess so.”
“But…… kuluck, kuluck! Keuheu…… I’ll tell you this one thing without particularly provoking a curse.”
The labor and management revealed this.
Blood dripped from his red-tinted teeth.
“The day the great corpse appears again in this world, the immortal world will come.”
“Immortal world?”
“A world where the concept of life disappears because there is only death. Knock knock, knock knock! Of course you… no city, no kingdom, no empire will be able to stop you…! And even Luas, that false god!”
Bloodshot red eyes stared straight at Verden.
“This is a curse that will befall your future. Hehe! Try to struggle with all your might. From the death that no life can escape……!”
Soon, the light in Nosa's eyes faded.
“We……will wait in death for that day to come.”
Bam.
The old man's hands fell off, condemning him to death.
Pfft! Like the other warlocks, the corpse exploded and disappeared without a trace except for blood. The blood flowed down like a river and reached Verden's feet.
Verden's face was reflected in the pool of blood.
'The Immortal World. Something grand has come out again.'
Gluttony is the end of the old human race.
The glory of the corpse is the immortal world.
Their goal is to turn the world upside down.
How many more crazy groups like this are there?
Verden felt anew how vast the world was.
'Anyway, I've taken care of them all with this.'
Verden has done everything he could.
He turned around and approached Kalia.
I turned my gaze to the side.
Fortunately, Gloss was still alive and breathing more steadily than before. Based on his condition, he seemed likely to be able to hold out until he could receive treatment.
Then, Kalia asked.
“Asher, you are… no, who are you?”
In a trembling voice.
