Chapter 152: Vol. 6 – Episode 20
Under six white wings, six dark wings appeared. It was another side of the Holy Magical Sword.
The magic sword of destruction, Dusk Bringer, separated from the wings and placed itself on Sungjin’s left hand.
Whatever Sungjin thought. Whatever Sungjin’s desires were. Whatever Sungjin knew. Whatever Sungjin had in his mind.
What Sungjin had chosen wasn’t strength but to save everyone. That was the undeniable truth. That was what had happened. That was why, although Sungjin had darkness inside him, he was able to reach beyond his darkness and become the light.
The highest angel and the worst devil: Sungjin had both inside him and faced another him.
“Hahahaha.” Sungjin of Darkness started laughing, as if it were a joyful thing to watch.
“That’s me.”
Sungjin of Darkness also held two swords in his hands. “So, even if it’s wrong, you will follow me until this point?”
“Let’s decide who’s wrong.”
They started to cross each other again.
A magic sword pointed at a heart, and a holy sword blocked the magic sword. Holy swords blocked each other while magical swords blocked each other. The swords collided in the sky over and over again only to fall apart and rise again to attack each other again. Each time the swords collided, light and darkness spread around them. Two conflicting powers were placed in one body.
When two sides have perfectly equal power, that means there won’t be a winner, or...
“It is probable that this fight will end with the destruction of both.” Pandora predicted the result as a seeker without any emotion. “The chances are 99.999999 percent.”
Ereka had to ask Pandora, “If this fight ends without a winner... what will happen?”
From the beginning, the rule of the fight was winner take all. But what if there wasn’t a winner?
“If winner takes all, the one who didn’t win gets nothing.”
“No...”
“Does that mean they both could be destroyed?”
“For those who don’t want the other to survive, that would be the best result.”
* * *
Sungjin and Sungjin of Darkness stepped aside after an intense close combat.
“It will be impossible to finish the fight like this.”
Unlike human beings, they would never get tired.
Equal power. Equal speed. Equal technique. And equal intelligence. There would be no winner in this fight, or...
“It will end in our co-destruction.”
They were enemies, but they came up with the same conclusion.
Muninn and Huginn started to talk again.
“Co-destruction. Co-destruction.”
“Two equal souls.”
“They are one soul.”
“Becoming one would be beneficial for both.”
They were one. There was no reason to fight. They could decide to become united to avoid co-destruction.
“If you unite, a being will be born.”
And that being wouldn’t protect the weak like Sungin, but it also wouldn’t try to abuse the weak like Sungjin of Darkness. It would go its own way.
Even if the two crows didn’t explain that, the two Sungjins already knew it was another option and the most reasonable choice for their coexistence, but they both refused to take that option.
“I will be the winner!” Both said the same thing and started to clash.
The fight could bring co-destruction, but unification could be the answer. They both knew that. But what they had experienced and what they had chosen until now made it impossible to accept the other.
Sungjin couldn’t accept another him who sacrificed everyone to gain power. But the other Sungjin couldn’t accept Sungjin, who didn’t pursue the path to being the strongest conqueror.
They couldn’t accept one another and had no plans to give up the fight, either.
Light and darkness clashed again. A desert disappeared and an ocean evaporated. A mountain became dust. The world that was created to be their battlefield started to break down. The battle field couldn’t handle the fight between two Sungjins with twelve wings.
Crack.
Crack.
The space broke down, and the world started to explode. They both started to have wounds on their wings, but they didn’t step back.
“Hahaha, this is fun. That’s me. I’ve never experienced this kind of close fight.”
Sungjin of Darkness laughed with joy, and Sungjin held his swords even tighter.
“Same here. I’ve never experienced this much thrill before.”
They were giving everything to attack and to defend. Neither could miss a single movement.
It was Sungjin’s first time having such a fierce fight, and he knew this would be the last as well. Sungjin’s sharp brain had already reached the conclusion that the end of this fight would be their co-destruction, but that didn’t make him step back.
Even if I will be destroyed with him, I could never let the darkness win.
Sungjin had people to protect and the world to protect. It was his responsibility to stop the darkness, because it was Sungjin who started this fight. But Sungjin wasn’t planning on dying with the darkness. He was looking for a chance to cut in to defeat Sungjin of Darkness.
He was determined to create an ending that was unpredictable, because Sugnjin knew there were so many people who would be in sorrow if he disappeared.
But the enemy was also determined to win.
Sungjin’s Holy Sword cut off a wing from Sungjin of Darkness. But the Magical Sword of Sungin of Darkness stabbed Sungjin’s flank. Then, Sungjin’s Magical sword pierced the lung of Sungjin of Darkness. Sungjin of Darkness used his Holy Sword to cut off one of Sungjin’s wings as well.
They couldn’t wound one another without being injured. There was no way to attack the opponent without getting hurt. They were both covered with blood, and their lives were slowly fading away.
Then, Sungjin of Darkness stepped back. “This will create a spectacle only enjoyable for the audience.”
“So are you going to give up?” Sungjin asked with his dry sense of humor, and Sungjin of Darkness stopped laughing.
“Stop joking. I meant that I’m ready to defeat you.”
“You are ready.”
“I wasn’t using my final transformation because I wanted to go back to myself fully, but since we’ve come this far, I should use everything.”
Is he hiding a card under the table?
Sungjin’s instinct warned him that his enemy hadn’t used everything he had yet.
But what could it be?
“I wouldn’t mind becoming a fearful magical monster that destroys everything. That would be better than missing my chance for victory.”
The next moment, flames of darkness covered up Sungjn of Darkness.
“You!” Sungjin tried to stop what was about to happen, but the wave of energy from the flame stopped him.
“Ugh.”
The Dark Valhalla from far away started to become pieces. The planet disappeared, and the pieces of the planet became dark flames and gathered around Sungjin of Darkness. A whole planet disappeared to compress its power into Sungjin of Darkness.
The next moment, the dark flame spread to cover the world that used to be the battlefield. The sky, ground, and ocean were covered with the dark flames, and then the flames gathered to create a figure.
It was a...
Dragon.
It was a dragon that could cover a mountain with its wing.
The dragon was covered with hellfire, and Sungjin was even smaller than the dragon’s eye. It was a gigantic magical creature.
“Well, you became big.” Sungjin laughed as if it wasn’t a big deal, but Sungjin was feeling the overwhelming power of the dragon.
It wasn’t just its physical size that was big but the power within it.
This guy... did he just unite himself with his own hell...
The dragon’s power was literally the power that had swallowed a whole world, and the power could easily destroy another world.
Sungjin of Darkness just became one with hell, and there was no turning back. He decided to become a transcendent monster for his victory.
“Now it’s time for you to disappear,” said the black dragon from hell, and it started moving its wings to shoot a hundred black fireballs at Sungin all at once.
But Sungjin avoided the fire balls by using his twelve wings. “That’s cute.” The number of fireballs became double. “Ugh.”
The fireballs were coming from every direction, so Sungjin couldn’t avoid them but had to fight them back.
Dawn Bringer, the Holy Sword of Dawn, blocked fireballs and destroyed them. But Sungjin only had two swords, while there were a few hundred fireballs that he had to stop.
Sungjin struggled to fight back the endless attacks. It looked like he was barely making it.
“You are annoying.”
When the fireballs were not enough to kill Sungjin, the dragon stepped on Sungjin with its gigantic body. Its foreleg, which seemed as big as a horizon, swept Sungin. Its foreleg was bigger than a few mountains.
Sunjin had no time to avoid it. Sungjin tried to stop it by crossing his swords, but it didn’t last long. Sungjin was flown away by the massive shock.
“Ugh.”
The difference of power was too great.
“This is the end for you.”
The dragon hit Sungjin again.
* * *
Looking at the scene, Pandora held her hands tightly together.
Is this where everything ends? So the darkness is the final winner? The man who protected the world can’t win against the man who ate up the world? So the protector who tries to use all his power can’t defeat the tyrant who absorbs other people’s power?
The answer for the question that my grandfather was looking for his whole life is the victory of darkness?
You promised to show me, but it seems like you will not able to.
Without realizing that she was being unfair, Pandora was disappointed in Sungin. It was natural, because she had such high expectations.
I thought you had something that was beyond my logical conclusions...
Maybe she was wrong. Maybe Sungjin was just a man who didn’t know anything more than what she learned.
