Chapter 171 - Slave Liberation 4 (1/2)
Aleister spoke as he cast a translucent barrier, blocking Woohyuk's blow.
He had made a contract with Lilith and become immortal.
Since he had existed since before the War of Gods and Demons, his magic skills were top-class.
“Come at me. I'll destroy you right now.”
“That’d be troublesome. You shouldn’t say that as someone who is favored by Lady Lilith. If I were to make an analogy, this world is an egg, and you are the transcendental being that is waiting to hatch from it. So please wait a little longer. The day will come when you will hatch and destroy this world, leading us to a new Genesis!”
Aleister firmly believed that true alchemy was the ultimate transformation of the world.
For him, all science was religion.
So, what was the ultimate transformation?
As the Witch Cult’s leader, Aleister was able to answer that question with confidence.
It was the beginning of a new era through the advent of the Demon God.
Woohyuk was tired of Aleister's long speech.
“You are out of your mind.”
“Kekeke… Your slandering does not bother me. Eventually, you will realize how ugly and hypocritical the world is as I did.”
“From my point of view, you’re also a part of this ugly and hypocritical world. Now stop talking and die.”
Woohyuk spread his abyssal wings and flew toward Aleister.
Then his vassals, who had been standing in silence, attacked all at once.
“You still talk as much as before, Aleister.”
“You are being rude to the future Demon God.”
“You need to be taught a lesson. Until now, I didn’t dare confront you because I was afraid of Lilith, but now I don't need to pay attention to her.”
Everyone had a word to say to Aleister.
However, Aleister did not lose his composure and took on their attacks.
“Well, you all have your own roles. They’re so insignificant that I don’t need to pay attention to you, though.”
”What? You’re just Lilith’s mutt who serves her like a slave and licks her feet!”
“Did you finally lose your mind after being inside your labs for so long?”
The demon kings” onslaught became even more intense.
Soon enough, Woohyuk cracked Aleister’s barrier with Verserios, and the fissure began to increase in size.
Creak! Crack!
No matter how strong Aleister was, he couldn’t be unscathed after being bombarded by so many powerful enemies.
Aleister looked in his surroundings and said goodbye.
“It's time for me to leave. I shall see you again on the next stage, everyone. May Lady Lilith's Gospel be with you until the end of your days.”
A black portal appeared next to him within his barrier.
Crack!
However, the barrier’s fissure only grew a little bit bigger and still maintained its shape.
“ALEISTEEEEEEEEEEER!”
As he shouted, Woohyuk stared at Aleister's back with eyes filled with rage and madness.
He had recuperated Melena and messed up Woohyuk’s plan.
A heavy silence flowed when Aleister completely disappeared with Melena.
“Lo, Lord Asura. You should check that bag now...”
Carnelian approached Woohyuk with a frightened expression and spoke.
”I apologize. I let my emotions take over.”
Was it because his demonic energy was gradually becoming synced with Verserios?
Woohyuk had begun to show more signs of lunacy compared to before.
Recalling what Helena had said before, Woohyuk opened Melena's bag.
[Valkyrie's Dagger]
Category: Weapon
Grade: S
Durability: 50,000
Traits: Imprints the Valkyrie’s stigma on opponents who get hit. If more than 5 stigmas overlap, a spark of purification ignites at the wound, causing continuous damage. The purifying flames can cause an explosive reaction at any time. The bloodstains on the dagger’s blade are absorbed and turned into health or mana. Can be operated according to the owner’s will even if it is not being held (only usable by Valkyries. Inflicts 50% additional damage to opponents with darkness properties.)
'It has pretty good traits.'
First of all, the damage that could be inflicted on opponents with an S-class weapon was enormous.
'But I can't use this.'
It was only available for people with the Valkyrie class.
This was unfortunate for Woohyuk, since he needed a secondary weapon that could replace his D-grade Vampiric Dagger.
However, the progress of the quest had increased now, and he could resurrect Brynhild in the near future.
'There are other things in the bag...’
Because it was a subspace bag, it could accommodate many items.
Woohyuk rummaged through the bag and took out the rest of the items.
[Schrdinger's Box]
Category: Personal Item
Grade: S
Durability: 35,000
Effect: Grants the hidden class “Schrdinger's Cat” when a cat is inserted inside the box (but it cannot be any cat. The cat must have an intelligence of 50 or higher).
[Miniaturization Potion]
Category: Consumables
Effect: The consumer is reduced to 1% of his original size for an hour.
In the case of the miniaturization potion, there were a total of three flasks.
It was a useful item, but Woohyuk's interest was focused on Schrdinger's Box.
'I didn’t expect to find this here...’
In the past, Schrdinger's Cat was owned by Melena.
