Chapter 206 (2/2)
Chwaaak!
The two Death Knights and spirit stabbed their swords above the monster.

And Hermes wasn’t one to miss his opportunity either.
The boas ran at Agares again. The amount of boa snakes had increased to the tens, and they bit at the monster’s body, poisoning the monster with their venomous teeth.
Kuung—
Agares’s body helplessly fell to the ground. It was like watching a mountain fall. The boa snakes had started to enter inside of it and eat everything in their sight.
The being that had been completely black all over began to turn into an ashy color. It meant that the being was dying as the poison from the boas spread all over it.
From its hole, demonic energy continued to pour out. It was like a pot without a bottom. If it lost a bit more, it would be enough to create a few demons on its own.
[Kaaaa! Kaa!]
To completely cut off Agares’s life, Hermes pushed the boas in even deeper.
Yeon-woo didn’t miss anything.
‘It can be caught…..!

Yeon-woo began to hope that Agares might really be caught.
He wouldn’t have even dared to attempt it without Hermes and Athena, but this wasn’t something that was ‘completely impossible’ anymore.
‘If I can shoot my fire just one more time.’
So he was going to step up again, but—
He could taste iron in his mouth, and his world spun. His body planted forward.
[Hey, Master? Master!]
Shanon quickly came to support Yeon-woo.
[Master, you okay? Say something!]
Yeon-woo wanted to say that he was okay. But because of the blood that continued to flow out, he couldn’t. The strength left his body. It was hard for him to stand on his own.
[It seems like he used everything. Just with the change of the trait, it would’ve taken a toll on him, but he even used that much holy power…..it wasn’t just overtaxing himself.]

Hanryeong sighed after checking Yeon-woo’s condition.
Yeon-woo had definitely overtaxed himself.
Even if he had received Athena’s Blessing, it was amazing in itself that he was able to maintain his form while a god and demon were fighting. And since he had gotten a trait and awakened another step, using an immense power, there wasn’t even the tiniest bit of magic power left in his Magic Circuit. It was amazing that his body wasn’t crumbling right now.
“N, o.”
But Yeon-woo wanted to stand up however he could. Just a little more. He just had to struggle for a little more. Then catching Agares and sealing him wouldn’t be a problem.
‘I have to help Sesha.’
He clenched his teeth. He had a huge debt to Sesha.
He couldn’t excuse himself with the fact that he didn’t know he had a niece. Just by the fact that his niece had been struggling until now, he had committed an unrepentable crime. He couldn’t futilely lose her like his little brother. He had to save Sesha, at the very least.
Even if his body was destroyed.
[You stubborn fool!]

Shanon let out his annoyance after reading Yeon-woo’s thoughts. Usually, Yeon-woo was such a cold person that he wondered if there was actually blood flowing in him. But seeing these kinds of regrets occasionally were extremely frustrating.
But regardless of what he said, Yeon-woo didn’t seem to want to listen.
Then.
A large magic circle flamed up from under Agares, who was being chewed by the boas and burning from Holy Fire, and a wide-open iron door appeared.
He was a being that was tied to the 98th floor. To escape the floor, he needed a significant sacrifice, and even that had its time limits. It seemed like the time that was allowed to Agares had come to its end.
“I guess there’s nothing I can do.”
Hermes clicked his tongue as he looked at Agares. He had been planning on completely ending Agares’s life, but it seemed like he would be chased away to the 98th floor.
Since his strength had already been used like this, even if he returned to his territory, it was clear that he wouldn’t live for long anyway.
The demons around him that scrambled to climb to the top wouldn’t leave him alone. He would be chewed up and spit out. Else, he would be eaten by the leader of Le Infernal, Baal.
Whatever it was, it was a chance for Hermes to take care of Agares, who had been a pain in his ass. He ordered his boas to stop eating and chase him outside of the iron door.

[Let go! I said to let go!]
But Agares firmly resisted, holding onto the door frame, like he would never be pushed out. His large eyes were shining with madness.
Agares opened his mouth and roared.
He couldn’t be pushed back to the 98th floor like this. This was a rare opportunity that had come to him. He didn’t know when he would get this chance again. The next time, the guy might be dead because he lived out his life…..!
[That’s mine. Mine! That…..!]
However, no matter how hard Agares resisted, the iron door that was tied with the principle of casuality quickly sucked him in. The boas were trying to push him inside as well.
[I won’t lose it this time!]
Suddenly, a part of the monster stretched out towards Yeon-woo. Hermes quickly sent a boa in that direction, but the darkness had already grabbed Yeon-woo.
Shanon and Hanryeong quickly stepped in front of him, but they had easily been flicked back into the shadow.
[This time. Come. With. Me.]

The darkness that was in the form of Agares’s puppet like when he first arrived was tightly holding onto Yeon-woo’s neck.
All his relaxed composure was gone, and only anxiousness and madness was in his eyes.
A face that looked like Cha Jeong-woo. The face that he had wanted so desperately, but wasn’t able to have.
It wasn’t him, but it was someone who reminded him of him. He had to have it. This time. At the very least, he wouldn’t lose it this time.
[With me. With…..!]
Yeon-woo trembled at his mad obsession. His breathing was blocked. If this kept up, he would probably be pulled inside with him. Athena’s blessing became even stronger, but he didn’t have any strength left, so it was hard to push him away.
Then, Yeon-woo’s left hand spread out. Clatter. Clatter. Bathory’s Vampiric Sword planted its teeth in his arm.
[‘Bathory’s Vampiric Sword’ is activated. You have absorbed life and energy.]
[Strength increases by 11.]
[Dexterity increases by 16.]

…..
[Warning! The amount of Demon’s Blessing exceeds the current limit. The balance with the Dragon’s Blessing is being messed up. Your Demonic Dragon Body is in danger of overheating.]
Although Agares was only absorbed for a little while, too much demonic energy and vestige came out from his body. It was incomparable to the Ceratopsian Dinosaur. The demonic energy didn’t just intrude on the Magic Circuit, but even reached Yeon-woo’s soul.
His blackish blue scales turned pitch black. His skin turned a dead black as well. Devil Poison was rapidly spreading throughout his body. If this kept up, his Demonic Dragon Body could be destroyed.
But Yeon-woo had to grab onto Agares like this, and Agares didn’t let go of Yeon-woo either.
The moment when Yeon-woo was about to die—
“Ohyohyohyo. This, this. I wanted to leave it alone. But at this rate, the stage might be ruined, and nothing will be left.”
A strange but familiar laughter came from the sky, and an invisible blade cut through Agares’s wrist, which was holding tightly onto Yeon-woo.

[No! I said no! That guy is mine! Mine!]
“Goodness, your obsession. Don’t you know that an obsessive man isn’t attractive? Ohyohyo. You won’t be able to go far, so have a safe trip.”
Agares was quickly sucked into the iron door without Yeon-woo in his grip.
Kuung!
The iron door closed, and settled under the magic circle. The darkness on the stage disappeared as well.
And where he had been, 6 people quietly appeared through an open portal.
They all looked strange, wearing tuxedos.
Of them, one of them stood out to Yeon-woo.
“Seriously. There’s a big incident every time I see ###.”
Yvlke adjusted his monocle and smiled amicably.

It was the appearance of the Guardians.
