Still Loved Even In The New World
CHAPTER 79: The Hard Fight

Punt...Punt... Oh...!!

the sound of footsteps that were like walking on sticky mud rang out in a slow rhythm.After the figure completely exited the meatball, I could see its form clearly.

the creature stood as tall as an ordinary human with a body coated in a shell like black armor all over its body. its head section was instantly overgrown with two large black horns, its purple eyes lit up, and it was a, a long tail with a purple end lit up on its back, and a pair of long dangling hands with terrifying black nails. most of his body still contained thick mucus that dripped onto the ground and gave a disgusting impression.

I will never forget that look.a creepy and very strange look with a very strong sense of oppression. the first time I saw it in Alterion was when there was a world event about holding back waves of beasts. It attacked the entire human territory of all regions, causing great damage. be it a human NPC city or a Players city, all of them were attacked by a large number of monsters.it was a very difficult first world event to traverse, one that was extremely difficult to traverse, the damage and losses suffered by the player was a very large amount.all of it was caused by the Great Emperor's army.

I didn't even suspect that a Tier five Great Emperor was the berserk mode of Soul Eater, however their appearance differed greatly.I even found it hard to find any similarities between the two of them.

the monster walked over and looked at me with its terrifying purple eyes.The entire stats had been increased by more than double, it would be extremely difficult to defeat it.

"little ants, now feel the law of this god"

a hoarse and soul-like voice was emanating from his wide mouth and full of pointy teeth.His frightening face showed a menacing smile that made the heart feel cold.

Swoss...!!

the monster took a huge momentum and darted rapidly towards me. Because Omniscient Eyes had me use it to exceed the limit, now I could not use it anymore, no longer, so I could not see the movement of the monsters heading towards me. A considerable distance could be traveled with just a blink of an eye.

reflexively, due to sensing the turbulent energy fluctuations, I dodged to the side at full speed, the fastest speed I could use at the moment.

srak...!!

a sharp pain radiated from my arm all over my body.although I managed to dodge the fatal attack, but the monster claw still left three scratches on my arm. the scratches were black and emitted black smoke like burning.The attacks mixed with the darkness element gave a very strong corrosive effect, even able to erode the soul.

"kekekekee.. die, man..!!!"

the terrible taste of the monster reached my ears.I saw the position of the monster that floated in the air after landing an attack on me. Once again, the monster disappeared from my sight. my mind and my mental strength moved very quickly to be able to predict where the monster would appear. From the start, the advantages of humans over monsters were battle techniques and items, without those two things, without them, humans would be unable to fight monsters with higher stats.

after I maximized the use of mental strength and mind, I could feel the air changes caused by the monster's rapid movements.I immediately turned around and crossed my hands to protect my chest.

Bang...!!!

a hard blow directly hit my arm which I used to protect my chest.A very severe pain like making my arm tear apart. the impact of the collision knocked me out of the air and directly hit the ground surface that had been destroyed by the initial fight.

my body violently hit the ground and made my consciousness seem to float for a moment. My entire body felt like it was being destroyed, but since this was a soul body, I did not bleed a single drop. the monster's movements were extremely fast, the entire process only lasted less than a second.

I tried to rise from the dust and the ground.The intense pain made me reluctant to move, but if I continued to lie on the ground, it was certain that the monster would kill me. I tried to stand up and support my weak body, but before I could stabilize my body, I felt a great concentration of energy on top of my head. I looked up and saw a black spear about ten meters long with a faint purple light floating in the air right above me.

"humanize...!!"

the spear quickly shot towards me. Without being able to react, I tried to form the strongest mental protection at the moment, but the five layers of mental protection I created could easily be penetrated by that black spear.layer after layer of mental protection I made broke like glass upon encountering that spear.

I took the time when the spear was slightly slowed down by the mental shield, even though just 0.2 seconds was enough. Despite my reflexes being very fast, it was not, but I was only able to take one step to the side before the spear hit me.

Bang...!!

when I tried to move, I felt a pain in my left side that made my brain feel numb. When I touched it with my right hand, I couldn't feel it. I turned my head and saw that most of my left body, starting from the shoulder until the entire arm had disappeared. Black smoke replaced the place where my hand had disappeared from the attack.

it hurts, it hurts a lot. It's really a pain that makes the whole body vibrate. This pain, only this time I felt the pain until like this.

"dead..., dead...!!"

I heard the monster's voice from above.As I looked up, the first sight I saw was a giant black sphere gathered from the compacted element of darkness. the gigantic black sphere floated high and was held back using the monster's hands. a dense aura of destruction and death filled the entire place. Am I going to die in this place?.

no, I've been given the chance to live a second life, I can't die here.The monster swung its hand to throw the giant black ball at me.

BANG...!!!!

before the giant black ball slid towards me, suddenly dozens of white light pillars and five light pillars of different colors attacked right when the giant black was still on top of the monster's head. the collision of energies made a huge explosion that even distorted space. Once again, shock waves due to explosions shook this entire place. I could only close my eyes and see the shockwave that was crashing rapidly towards me.

I waited for the shockwave to hit me long enough, but nothing happened.I opened my eyes and saw a black figure standing tall in front of me. the black armor lit up with red runes that glowed like flames.

Philia:"Arkne...?"

Arkne: "we will protect you Your Majesty"

Arkne who stood straight in front of me replied without turning around.I looked into the air and there were two other figures floating there. two large and small figures floated in the air with their gazes looking at the distant ground.The clouds and dust in the sky had been cleared by the shockwave that came from the energy collision earlier. the monster was no longer in the air, as I followed Arkne's line of sight, I saw a place that was blowing dust into the air. It seemed that the monster was thrown quite violently due to the impact of the explosion.

"how could it be?.... how could people from the third epoch of the gods still exist....!!!"

the monster's voice roared loudly from the dust smoke.That thick dust smoke instantly scattered due to its scream containing violent energy to make a small shockwave. I saw the condition of that monster who had lost most of its body parts.Dense black tendrils started to overflow from every wound that was on his body.he was trying to heal himself. all the black tendrils began to get entangled with each other and replace all the parts of his body that were lost, including his arms that had been destroyed could be regrown using the black tendrils.

powerful regeneration abilities, impenetrable defense, deadly attacks, and speed that Tier four creatures could not possibly fight against.

I saw the part of my arm that had disappeared, with this wound, my strength would decrease even further.I could not heal the soul injuries like ordinary injuries. I have to defeat that monster and repair the damage to my soul using the Soul Orb that was on him. Although I can get out of this world and return to Filia's body, but with this condition, it is, then the left hand of Philia will be paralyzed because it has no soul.

I don't want to go back in that state, I will defeat that monster no matter what...

Philia:"Arkne, Upirina, Cerberus. don't save...!"

I shouted towards the three of them, Arkne who was in front of me, Upirina and Cerberus who were in the air.

"well, Your Majesty"

they all answered my orders at the same time. From the beginning it was all my fault, I guess I was not a naive person like those loathsome heroes, but it seems I was wrong. I shouldn't have kept my strength.I should have fought with everything I had in the first place..

(the end of this chapter)

I did not expect that the Helheim arc would end soon.After this arc ends, there would be an academy arc that I had delayed for quite some time...

see you next time:)
