Saved a Heroine From the Brink of Death

125. Spirit of the Void

#125. Spirit of the Void

A grotesque appearance made of flesh.

Those things, which emanated a strong scent of blood and blood, were made up of the remains of corpses that had already died long ago.

The undigested arms, legs, and torso of someone.

The body parts were not all from one person, but from different people.

And the parts that weren’t were filled with the flesh of the ‘corpse-eating mountain’ to form a human form.

Of all the things Cynthia had ever seen, nothing was more grotesque and terrifying.

‘…But it’s not a ghost.’

Even now that she has reached the transcendental state, Cynthia still fears the occult element. She can shake it off if she wants to, but she doesn’t feel the need to.

“Still, it’s still weird.”

A chimera-like form, with several parts fused together and filled with flesh.

So, let’s call it a chimera transcendent.

“Kururur-”

“It looks human only on the outside, but it’s probably right to see it as a monster.”

I was a little uneasy because it had the form of a human for no reason, but the thing staring at me with its drool dripping down its face felt more like a monster than a person.

Have I become strange, or is this world strange?

“Clarararak!”

“Oh, there’s blood on it… .”

As one of the Chimera Transcendents suddenly rushed in, the blood that had been pooling on the floor scattered in all directions.

Because of that, Cynthia’s clothes were soaked in blood, creating a feast with a pungent scent.

‘There are only five… I think, and there’s a risk that they’ll increase over time, so we have to get rid of them as quickly as possible.’

There are five chimera transcendent beings created now.

But seeing the flesh bubbling and clumping together little by little, it didn’t seem to end here.

There are only five of them because she killed one of them with an arrow as soon as it was created. If she hadn’t done that, Cynthia would be facing six Chimera Transcendentals right now.

“Crwaaak!”

“Keeeek!”

Although it was not easy, their experiences imprinted on their bodies, their remaining divine powers, and the ‘power’ granted by the corpse-eating mountain made them beings that were more than ordinary transcendent beings.

In short, each of these entities can be seen as beings with powers greater than those of lower-level transcendent beings.

Cardduck – A chimera transcendent being holding a sword made of flesh leaped towards Cynthia.

Although it was made of black flesh, its power was not weak.

Outside the flesh, a black aura was formed, and inside it was the will of the transcendent being.

But there is no time to avoid it.

You must block with your arms and prepare for attacks from other Transcendent beings.

Card slam-!

The only thing you can trust is your body.

Cynthia blocked the sword with her left arm and focused on the other guy’s attack.

The guy with the window is one of them.

Two more guys with swords.

And finally, there was this guy shooting arrows from behind.

“Ugh…!”

Cynthia took a deep breath and pulled the transcendent being who was stabbing her with his spear in front of her. Then she grabbed him with her right hand and swung him.

“Whoa! Take this!”

Kwajijik kwajak kwajajak!

The effect was amazing when I used the Chimera Transcendent (Spear) as a shield.

‘Wow! It blocks well?’

Perhaps because the body itself was so strong, it seemed more useful than a real shield.

Not only was it able to block all the arrows, it was also able to block some of the sword attacks from the Transcendent beings in front of it.

Even the flesh would bubble and regenerate, so it seemed like there couldn’t be a more useful shield.

“Hey, stop struggling!”

Cynthia swung her arm once to knock away one of the chimera transcendent beings she was using as a shield as it went berserk.

Then he folded the guy in half.

“Kuuuck!”

The chimera transcendent guy screamed in pain too, but that wasn’t Cynthia’s fault.

The important thing is….

“Once, twice…! Ugh, this is hard! Let’s fold it one more time here!”

Cynthia used her throwing machine to fold the transcendent being in her hand four times in a row.

Then, using divine power, he made it thin again.

Then, a shield with a dignified appearance was completed.

It was possible because it was a creature made of flesh. For some reason, she felt nauseous, but Cynthia tried to ignore the feeling and looked forward again.

“Okay, then shall we move on to the second round?”

Now that she had a sturdy shield (no resistance), Cynthia felt like she could fight better.

***

“The world was coming to an end.”

The content of a novel I read some time ago suddenly came to mind.

“The streets were consumed by madness,

It was a novel that I quite liked.

So many times that I reread it.

“The sky turned purple.”

I am now.

“The end is near.”

I was witnessing the end in that novel.

.

.

.

.

.

“This is such a fucking day.”

The once blue sky was dyed purple, and in the streets, huge monsters were fighting heroes.

At this point, there was nothing I could do.

Strictly speaking, it wasn’t that it didn’t exist at all.

Because it could provide support to fighting heroes with potions, artifacts, magic scrolls, etc.

But they weren’t collected to be used in the current situation. ‘If I write from this point in time… it will be more difficult later.’

The current situation is just the beginning.

A monster with such terrifying power that even the mighty-looking beast of doom will seem cute will descend, and a disaster that cannot be described as a natural disaster will strike.

Everything I’ve collected will be used then.

“But isn’t it comfortable?”

“what?”

“This space called Heo Dimension.”

“… Yeah, I didn’t know it was a place like this.”

I nodded toward Grace and looked outside.

Heo Cha-won.

I came to this place, also known as the Mirror World, by Grace’s will.

This place reflects everything in the real world upside down.

The sky, the earth, and the buildings built on the earth.

And people too.

“Is this why it is called the illusionary dimension and not the mirror world?”

“You didn’t know?”

“I knew it. I just didn’t know it would be this bad.”

Void space is a space where everything is empty.

The buildings that are reflected in my eyes, the people running along the streets, everything is empty.

A world where what you see is not real.

That was a delusion.

“Then you know why this world is dangerous.”

“Yeah. That’s why I didn’t want to come. It’s a world where it wouldn’t be strange if this kind of comfort disappeared at any time.”

Kugugugu-

As soon as he finished speaking, something strange occurred in the quiet world.

A world where everything is an illusion, except for one thing.

There is something real here.

“The spirit of emptiness has appeared.”

Spirit of the Void.

Or a monster called a Devourer appeared in the empty dimension where I was.

[ Food- appeared – ]

Although it was not a human language, the words of the Void Spirit were immediately transmitted to my mind and its meaning was read.

This was possible because their language system originated from the ‘soul’.

Of course, that wasn’t important right now.

“Now… shall I ask you how we are going to deal with that?”

If we don’t do something about that void spirit, we’re all going to die here.

A spirit of the void, known as the cleaner of the empty space.

His strength is in no way inferior to that of the beasts of doom outside.

[ Heo Cha-won? Heron, did you lead me there? ]

[ Yes. Is there any problem…? ]

[ … If I just look closely, I really wonder what’s going on in your head.]

Berget’s sharp criticism flew towards Heron.

[ If you are a spirit of the void… I have prepared. If I temporarily grant you the power of light, even if you are a member of the void, you will be defeated in an instant… . ]

[ ha…. ]

Berget continued with a sigh.

[ I don’t know how the other guys trusted you and left the fate of the universe at stake. Are you all ready to escape to another dimension? Huh? ]

When Heron heard Berget’s words, he felt the words rising in his throat, ‘Are you the only one who will do it?’, but he couldn’t bring himself to say them.

[ I tried it and it’s not usually that hard. ]

Berget had been to an extra-dimensional space. That was also the reason he knew Langrut.

In the first place, I wasn’t from this universe.

That would be the case, since it made no sense for him, who was older than the current universe, to belong to this universe.

The adjective “first” meant the first not only in this universe, but in all history observed and recorded in the Akashic Records.

[ … Okay, now tell me. What’s the problem with Heo Cha-won? ]

[The Void Spirit becomes even more crazy when it sees a ‘god’ or a ‘god’s agent’. Just look at that.]

Berget’s hand was pointed at the screen.

There was a void spirit there, trembling in response to the divine power.

[ And I heard somewhere that light attribute is a special medicine for entities with empty nature, but that’s a lie. ]

[ … … . ]

Heron looked at the screen with a blank expression.

[ If this goes wrong, I’ll have to prepare to be launched to another universe. ]
