Chapter 89 – Ouroboros (5)

Hansoo frowned while looking at the thras.h.i.+ng Ouroboros.

As it thrashed around, the outer sh.e.l.l layer of the World Tree’s Pillar area was being broken off without stopping.

Hansoo clenched his teeth as he saw the fragments dropping down like meteors.

Hansoo stabilized his breath as he saw the Seven Departed Souls flying in from the distance.

Since the body’s thras.h.i.+ng had gotten quite aggressive as well as the outer and inner scales were gathering up above the nerves like waves.

Boooom!

And the Seven Departed Souls flew in at a extreme speed around Hansoo.

Booom!

Not only Hans...o...b..t the other Departed Souls were faithfully burning off the scales on the back of the Ouroboros and at the same time gnawing down on the nerves.

Miyamoto mumbled inwardly.

They were throwing down attacks hundreds of meters apart from each other.

But that guy was constantly resupplying the marbles and relics and helping them fight.

They had already destroyed two nerves and were in the process of destroying the third.

Somebody else watching this might think that it’s going well but Miyamoto’s expression wasn’t that good.

Miyamoto’s plan was simple.

It was easier to catch Hansoo off guard since she had known him longer in comparison to the other Departed Souls.

Make him unable to battle, take the relics and then run away after opening the Dimensional Portal.

But Miyamoto’s plan wasn’t really working out very well.

He knew that Hansoo had his guard up against him

So Hansoo would feel at ease.

It wasn’t that hard since the nerve itself was so big.

An open spot wasn’t being created despite him smas.h.i.+ng apart the giant scales and utilizing a huge amount of energy.

At this rate they’ll be able to kill the Ouroboros and he’ll lose the chance to obtain the relic.

That the army of the fifth calamity

, located at the top side of the Pillar, existed.

‘That b.a.s.t.a.r.d would probably want to kill that thing too.’

A production of a small sun-like amount of mana.

‘If there aren’t chances… I just need to make them.’

He was strangely keeping an eye on Sofía more.

They hadn’t seen each other long enough for such things to bud.

It didn’t matter which one of those above things it was.

That was enough.

Miyamoto started to focus on the soul fragment.

Sofía caught her breath on top of the floating marbles and looked at Hansoo fighting in the distance.

His actions proved it even without words.

That he was paying more attention to her.

Since the movements of the marbles told her that he had complete trust of her.

Sofía, who had making a confused expression, shook off her thoughts and then started to focus.

Sway

“…Uh?”

She quickly looked at the other people just in case it was an attack from the Ouroboros but they didn’t have anything wrong with them.

She tried her best in order to control herself but even her consciousness was fading as if it was making fun of that effort.

Kuuuuuuu!

The marbles tried to get away with her body but it was fruitless.

If Sofía didn’t move herself then she wouldn’t be able to get out of the attack range with just her body.

Sofía closed her eyes after mumbling in her almost disappeared conscious.

And in the final sight of Sofía, somebody rus.h.i.+ng towards her could be seen.

‘This guy. To go this far. It’ll be trouble if she dies!’

Then he started to ponder.

Killing the Ouroboros was now possible even without Miyamoto.

‘This lame b.a.s.t.a.r.d. You got rotten after 20 years of peace.’

A person who had been acting like a King of the Red Zone for 20 years.

He had thought that Miyamoto would show a look befitting that, and in fact didn’t gain much harm from fighting the Ouroboros, but for him to go this far.

‘Clean it up.’

But he had to save Sofía first.

He then hugged her and then raised his mana reinforcement to the limit.

And the giant body of the Ouroboros smashed into them like a whip.

‘Kuhuk!’

Hansoo’s body, which had been hit like a baseball being hit by a bat, started to rush towards the ground at an extreme speed.

Hoooong

Kigigigik

Since he will receive even more damage if he were to crash onto the ground like this.

And then laughed while looking at Hansoo hugging him.

Kiiiing

‘Gullible b.a.s.t.a.r.d.’

And even more so if he had been hit by the Ouroboros.

Kiiing

Miyamoto, who was controlling Sofía from the distance, spat out a sound at unconsciously at the sudden unexpected event.

Miyamoto quickly tried to look at Hans...o...b..t the sight of Sofía he was controlling started to quickly fade away.

‘What… What just happened…’

At the same time a chill ran down his back.

The reason why he had acted so drastically was in large part because he wasn’t worried about getting caught.

How would Hansoo know that it was his doing?

There was no way that a threatening feeling from the Ouroboros would come at this time.

He didn’t know how he found out or what the evidence was.

‘d.a.m.nit. What do I do. What do I do…’

He thought of controlling the other five Departed Souls and having a go at it but then he would need to get in danger.

‘Run away. Then look for a chance from the distance.’

He just needed to hide deep within the World Tree and then wait until everything finishes.

If that guy was planning to kill the Wasp Legion then he would be able to look for another chance with the Departed Souls.

But Miyamoto’s theory was the same as always.

Miyamoto pulled out his final card, the feather.

He would be able to go anywhere with this.

Soon Miyamoto’s body got covered with a bright light and started to disappear.

‘Huh.’

Maybe it was because he valued safety over anything but his ability to sense danger was beyond everyone else.

‘You didn’t spend 20 years in vain huh.’

The way he ran was amazing as well.

But from the light surrounding his body, it seemed like he had quite an intact leaf.

It seems like he was going to wait until the Dimensional Door opened in a safe place.

That when you become the Administrator of the World Tree, it wasn’t hard to find someone who had Miyamoto’s level of power.

‘I shall help you a bit. So your feather wouldn’t go to waste.’

Soon the cross on his forehead started to s.h.i.+ne.

At those words the World Tree, which was the reason of the teleportation power, started to change the coordinates of the teleportation.

And soon Miyamoto’s body disappeared within the light.

Hoooong

The place he had chosen to run away was the sanctuary he had created in the end of the World Tree just in case of an unexpected event.

A cold wind blew past his face.

‘This is… Branch?’

An extremely thick branch of the World Tree that felt like the ground.

Bzzzzzzzzzz

And they weren’t just coming from one location.

‘G.o.dd.a.m.nit… The Wasp Legion!’

Miyamoto’s expression got covered in fear.

And soon the huge wing-beating sounds started to resonate from around Miyamoto.

‘I’ll come to take the things you have later.’

Since there weren’t any more disturbances, he just needed to smash one more Nerve.

There’s no way that this guy would stay quiet like this.

Hansoo stopped rus.h.i.+ng in and gazed at the Skull of the Ouroboros where the clone would be.
