Chapter 105

“Chapter 105: Ivyst with Tears (4.5k)”

After the Age of Divine Wars ended, the gods and demons that once walked the earth began to hide away.

Some were scheming in the shadows, some spread their faith in the divine realms they founded, while others were in such terrible states that they had to drift into various forms of slumber.

Though the reasons were unclear, one thing was certain: these powerful beings had a common rule to follow.

The gods and demons were not allowed to interfere with the affairs of the human realm.

Even divine descents were rarely seen in the thousands of years that followed.

Each occurrence would set off a massive uproar across the continent and could even alter the world’s balance of power.

But now, in the mountainous region of Orlen City, a rare event of divine descent was astonishingly unfolding right before our eyes.

Because Lynn wasn’t praying across the tides of history but was calling forth the Tyrant King of the present moment.

Thus, His powerful and terrifying will descended from the heavens without impediment, pouring into Lynn like a demonic force.

“Ants!!!”

His furious roar rang out like a tolling bell!

The vast mountains stretching to the ends of the earth trembled and mourned!

In an instant, all the animals, beasts, and even transcendent beings in the mountains, all living entities, were stripped of their consciousness and fell to the ground.

Not only that, but the barrier that originally sealed the Soren Mountain Range also showed spiderweb-like cracks on its surface.

No creature could maintain its stance to welcome the arrival of the legendary high-dimensional demon.

Let alone Lynn himself.

As the consciousness and power of the Tyrant King descended, his body shattered like porcelain, covered in cracks and blood, wobbling backward.

His figure began to grow taller, dark, cold scales appearing on his skin, muscles bulging, and cruel, sharp spines jutting out from various joints.

In that moment the will invaded Lynn’s mind, he felt as if his vision had crossed the bounds of time and space, witnessing horrific images that didn’t belong to this dimension.

The screams and roars of billions of the deceased, the endless abyss swirling across the ground, jagged pillars piercing the sky, and at the top of those pillars, the shadows of a demon blotting out the sun.

In its crimson eyes hid all the anger and tyranny of the world.

Just one glance, and Lynn’s eyes exploded!

As an unparalleled demonic power awakened within him, the will of the Tyrant King instantly took over his brain.

Lynn felt himself gradually losing control over his body.

He felt like a spectator, watching his own hands, feet, arms, and neck, slowly ceasing to belong to him.

This was an extremely terrifying transformation.

In the next second, he suddenly felt a low, hoarse roar escaping his mouth uncontrollably.

“How do you want to die?”

At that moment, a thread of the Tyrant King Kusustain’s will completely occupied Lynn’s body.

He looked down, observing his hands turning sharp and dangerous, moving back and forth.

But for some reason, this process seemed to be accompanied by a slight trembling.

Kusustain frowned.

He never expected this ant’s will to be even more tenacious than he imagined.

Though this was just a fragment of his consciousness, it was certainly not something a first-level transcendent could withstand.

If that’s the case…

“Are you crazy?!!!”

A woman’s voice, filled with suppressed pain and anger, suddenly rang out.

Kusustain instinctively turned around.

In the distance, a somewhat ragged figure of a woman was lying on the ground.

She wore a black dress, with ugly and terrifying cursed marks growing on her face.

But for some reason, this being that should have been seen as a monster was now feebly lifting her arms, trying again and again to get up from the ground.

Her pale cheeks were already wet with tears.

“You…”

The woman fell to the ground for the eighteenth time, covered in dust and blood, yet she still tried for the nineteenth time, pushing her seemingly lifeless body to stagger towards the boy who had already lost his human form.

“You need to get out of here!” she cried silently, her expression filled with anger and helplessness, “Otherwise, I’ll…”

Boring.

Kusustain had no interest in this nonsensical drama.

The impulse surging within him only made him want to tear this ant’s body into pieces right away and confine his soul in the endless abyss for a thousand years of torment.

No one had ever dared to insult him like this.

But suddenly, he felt the muscles in this body’s face uncontrollably twitching, slowly forming a painful yet gentle smile.

At the same time, the throat and lips, which should have been under his control, were producing strange sounds in fits and starts.

“Don’t worry… my lord…”

“This will… be over… soon…”

“Pch!”

With a sound of flesh tearing, the woman in the distance suddenly saw the boy raise his sharp claw high.

Then, he violently plunged it into his own heart.

“Yeah, it will be over soon.” Kusustain growled dully, “After I completely rip you apart.”

When Ivyst saw the figure that should have boarded the return train appearing before her, her heart seemed to stop beating in that instant.

Why?

Why was my dog here?

In a flash, confusion surged within her.

This felt like a dream, everything seeming so unreal.

So weak, merely a first-level being, without even a fighting chance—

But why?

Why was this guy inexplicably standing in front of her?

Then, under her dazed gaze, the boy resolutely grasped the core of that Wishing Jar’s properties.

Ah.

Surely, this was a dream.

After all, she had always known this, and had truly experienced so many painful memories.

No one would ever come to save her.

That was a hope that only appeared in dreams.

After absorbing too many cores of sealed items, Ivyst felt weak all over, her consciousness hazy, unable to distinguish reality from illusion.

But in the next second, the suppressed pain and moans from the boy’s throat pricked deep into her heart like needles.

No, no, this isn’t a dream.

Her pupils dilated slightly.

Ivyst had predicted all possible scenarios for waking up from her coma.

The only thing she hadn’t anticipated was that the boy would reject all the options she had laid out for him, choosing the most unlikely and despairing path, and would follow through to the end.

Clearly just the weakest first-level being, yet at that moment, his figure was so reliable, standing like a towering tree before her, shielding her from the impending downpour.

Ivyst suddenly felt an unprecedented sharp pain in her heart.

This feeling was strange.

It was so painful, but it brought forth an unusual emotion mingled with joy and sorrow.

Ivyst, oh Ivyst, how much longer do you plan to wallow in self-pity?

No one will come to save you?

But this boy before you is the best contradiction to that thought, isn’t he?

When she came to her senses, she realized for some reason, her face was already streaked with tears.

Eh?

Am I crying?

But why?

Confusion surged within Ivyst.

Such an unprecedented scenario and everything outside her expectations left her somewhat flabbergasted.

However, she knew very well that this was not the time for pondering these difficult questions.

Because at this moment, an exceptionally intense emotion and impulse surged to the forefront of her mind.

“Are you crazy?!!!”

Ivyst screamed at the broken boy, completely losing her past dignity and composure. The distance between them was not far.

Yet she felt the boy’s frail figure becoming somewhat indistinct, as if he could disappear from this world at any moment.

Instinctively, she raised her hand, wanting to grip him tightly just like countless times before.

But to her horror, she realized she couldn’t do it.

At this moment, Ivyst felt entirely numb.

She struggled to rise from the ground but failed repeatedly, until, in a moment of breakdown, she bit down on her wrist, letting her skin tear and blood flow.

Ivyst sought to awaken her senses through the pain.

Yet it was all in vain.

Her bodily functions had been destroyed too much by the Level 0 Sealed Item, leaving her in a state of utter exhaustion.

He will die.

Watching the boy, whose body was filled with two conflicting wills, Ivyst’s face turned as pale as a ghost, her tears flowing silently.

!

Why are there such foolish people in this world?

Does this princess need you to save her?!

Bad dog!!!

“You need to get out of here! Otherwise, I’ll…”

Otherwise, I’ll kill you.

Ivyst meant to say this…

But at that moment, a strange emotion surging deep within her made it impossible to voice it.

Forget it.

I’ll let you off this time.

When this princess stands up and takes you away from here, then we’ll settle this matter… properly.

“Pch!”

With the sound of flesh tearing, the boy, under the demon’s control, ripped open his own chest.

The moment the beast claw pierced his chest, intense pain almost caused Lynn to faint.

Though he had already lost his eyes looking into the Tyrant King’s phantom just moments ago, he nonetheless held onto his consciousness with strong will.

“Oh? You’re not dead yet?” Kusustain, controlling Lynn’s body, roared, “If that’s the case… try this!”

With that, he raked his claws down, tearing off Lynn’s right arm!

Blood sprayed like a fountain.

Yet at that moment, the blood within him began to transform into a demonic shade of light purple.

As he endured yet another wave of pain, Lynn felt his vision black out.

His consciousness suffered two massive shocks from two demons in quick succession, and had even been tainted to some degree by the Sealed Item.

Surviving was nothing short of a miracle.

“How’s that?!”

Despite sharing a body, there was no sign of pain on Kusustain’s face.

“This feels awesome!!!!” Lynn momentarily regained partial control of his body, and despite the agony, he laughed maniacally, “Dear Kusustain, are you giving me a handjob?!!!”

“I’m seriously about to burst from pleasure!!!”

At this, the Tyrant King’s angry roar once again rang in his ears.

He was intentionally provoking him!

“Oh right!” seizing the moment of brief clarity, Lynn suddenly turned to the Creation Demon, who had been watching intently, “Girl, you just sitting there to watch?”

“Why not join us? Hahaha!!!”

With that, without needing Kusustain’s impetus, Lynn suddenly drove his right hand towards his own heart again!

He was going to commit suicide!

“You!!!”

The Creation Demon seemed to sense the madman’s true intentions, an uncontrollable rage and resentment appearing on its face.

But the next second, it still enveloped his right hand in the black mire, stopping him from rupturing his own heart.

“Do you think you have me pinned down?!”

Watching the boy resembling a savage beast, the Creation Demon gritted its teeth.

Even with its millennia of demonic life experience, it had never seen such insanity before.

The Creation Demon let out a low growl, its chest swelling rapidly.

“Yes, I do have you pinned!” Lynn shook with force, instantly freeing himself from the black mire’s control, “The core of the Wishing Jar has already begun to fuse with me. If you don’t want to lose a second host in a short time and suffer severe losses…”

“Then try to save me from this Tyrant King’s grasp!!! Hahaha!!!”

Though he was human, his laugh was scarier than a demon’s.

This was Lynn’s unresolvable scheme laid out for these two high-dimensional demons.

Once the Creation Demon chose to occupy his body and established a certain level of fusion, it was completely trapped in Lynn’s web.

Including humiliating the Tyrant King, everything was progressing according to his original plan.

Currently, Kusustain aimed to destroy his body and claim his soul.

But that stood in sharply contrasting conflict with the Creation Demon’s objective.

If it wanted to be reborn, Lynn had to survive safely until it completely took over this body.

Otherwise, should it lose Lynn as its material, it wouldn’t even have the ability to turn back and seize Ivyst’s body.

As for the weak ants outside, the Creation Demon didn’t even have an eye for them.

Dammit!

How could a high-dimensional demon like me be schemed against by a mere human to this extent?!!!

At this moment, boundless rage filled the Creation Demon’s heart.

But unfortunately… there was nothing it could do against that first-level ant.

Watching the Tyrant King regain control over his body, the Creation Demon remained silent, coldly staring at him.

“Get out.”

The filled-with-tyranny gaze from the other side swept over it, manifesting contempt and disdain.

Though both were high-dimensional demons, there seemed to exist a gap in their hierarchy.

“Boom——”

In an instant, endless black mire engulfed the other.

The Creation Demon’s body levitated, its expression frosty: “Who the hell do you think you’re talking to?”

After a brief moment of reflection, it decided to bear with it for now.

For now, the only way out was to keep that lunatic alive until the Tyrant King left this body.

After all, divine descents were events capable of attracting the entire continent’s attention; even the gods would cast their gaze.

Though Kusustain was powerful, he was far from being able to oppose all the gods.

So this process wouldn’t last long.

But this kid is truly remarkable.

Though filled with rage, the Creation Demon was not swayed by emotions.

Moreover, a hint of admiration for that guy had begun to form deep within it.

To be able to maneuver between two high-dimensional demons purely as a mortal and reach this level… even as an enemy, he was enough to shock it.

“Boom——”

The black mire merely delayed Kusustain for a brief moment.

In the next second, the fierce boy, covered with beast scales, broke through the barrier, streaking across space like a shooting star, sharp claws extended towards the Creation Demon’s face!

“If that’s the case… then I’ll kill you first!!!!”

Under Lynn’s incessant provocation, at this moment, Kusustain completely lost his mind.

He wanted to destroy everything!

Whoever stood in his way would be killed!!!
