Chapter 205 – Iscariot’s Descendants 7 (1/2)

If he had turned into an Awakener, it would have been possible for Woohyuk to subdue Rosenkreuz with the power of Asura, but unfortunately, he maintained his original form.

Staying in his original form meant that this crisis helped him push beyond his limits.

Rosenkreuz wasn’t called a genius in the Holy Pope’s Office for nothing.

“Keu… I don’t feel very good about how things are unfolding.”

Rosenkreuz glared at Woohyuk with his purple-colored eyes.

The fatal injuries from earlier had recovered neatly, and an additional hidden card had arisen.

It was a kind of dimensional distortion ability.

‘It might be possible to reverse the situation with this.’ Rosenkreuz thought to himself.

Considering that he could now free of Woohyuk’s restrictions, he seemed to be free from the limitation in number or times he could use his abilities.

If he could distort the dimension restrictions and bring in all the high-ranking priests of the Holy Pope’s Office, Rosenkreuz would be able to put up a fight.

His combat power and magic stats also increased significantly, so, until reinforcements arrived, it seemed he’d be able to withstand further attacks.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!

A storm of golden sparks raged out in their dimensional cocoon, causing spiraling vortices to appear from all sides.

Five Awakeners were attacking with maddened fervor.

They were constantly attacked by the Demon Kings and taking damage, but they weren’t going down.

“Asura, the battle seems to be going longer than expected. How about using the Absorber Trigger? We’ll at least be able to eliminate the Awakeners quickly.”

“Let’s do that.”

Until now, Rosenkreuz was the top priority, so even if the Pronoia members turned into Awakeners, they were left for the Demon Kings to handle.

However, due to the change in plans, it would be better to deal with the Awakeners quickly and focus their attacks on Rosenkreuz.

As Woohyuk didn’t know what new abilities Rosenkreuz gained while pushing through his limits, it was better to reduce the variables in the battlefield as much as possible.

Once Woohyuk presses the red button on the Absorber Trigger,

Chi-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Jick!

A black current was formed along with a spherical boundary.

Rosenkreuz, who saw the appearance of this new boundary, hurriedly attempted dimensional distortion.

‘I can apply the principles of a Dimension Gate.’

His thoughts on using his newly attained ability did not simply create a medium that connects different dimensions, like what a traditional Dimensional Gate would do, but twist the dimension itself to cause an artificial crack.

Of course, there was one problem.

“Kyaah-Ahhh!”

From the dimensional passage created by Rosenkreuz, ugly monsters poured out.

An unexpected sight.

Rosenkreuz looked startled.

“What is this? I thought I put the coordinates for the Holy Pope’s Office.”

“You must have forgotten that this is my absolute space. I read your poor plans from the beginning.”

In this pitch-black abyss, no one was completely free from Woohyuk’s influence.

So, unless the opponent was overwhelmingly strong, it was possible for him to read his opponent's every movements.

In short, it was like a chess game where one looked ahead and planned a few moves ahead of time.

‘Did he reverse use my abilities to connect this place with the Demonic Territories…’

Rosenkreuz’s attempt was good, but as a result of his actions, only Woohyuk seemed to have benefited.

Rosenkreuz trembled, feeling indescribable loss and a sense of defeat.

Since things continued in this way, he had to go all out before the situation got even worse.

He decided that only Divine Magic could reverse the tides of this battle.

Swahhhh!

As Rosenkreuz lifted his staff, a fierce storm of golden flames struck out once again.

However, Woohyuk lifted Verserios with a bored expression.

“That won’t be enough. A lot of demons have gathered already.”

Due to Black Demolition, the Awakener’s energy was constantly being absorbed in the black sphere floating in the air.

Woohyuk planned to use this collected energy as a finishing move after condensing the collected energy into an ultra-high density on the tip of Verserios.

Go-oh-oh-oh-oh!

Verserios, which had absorbed the black sphere, cried wildly, exhaling wildly spiraling black currents from its spear tip.

After preparing his spear, Woohyuk closed the distance between them. Rosenkreuz ran away with teleportation magic and poured out all his available Divine Magic spells.

Kwa-Kwa-Kwa-Kwa-Kwa-Kwa-Kwa-Kwak!

The members of Pronoia, who became Awakened, were unable to move due to Black Demolition’s effects.

In addition, the other Demon Kings and their minions were now rushing towards the Awakeners to apply the finishing blow. The Qliphoth Fruit’s effects would soon wear off as well.

If they didn’t somehow make a breakthrough, they were all dead.

However, unlike Rosenkreuz’s wishes, the situation only got worse.

Bam-Bam-Bam!

The Guardian Barrier Rosenkreuz created was destroyed at once by Legius, the two-handed sword swung by Astaroth.

No matter how much Rosenkreuz surpassed his limits and increased his power with the help of Qliphoth’s Fruit, the Demon King Astaroth, ranked 29th, was by no means a pushover.

Finally, finding himself in a situation where even his main abilities were blocked, Rosenkreuz fell into a dire dilemma.

“Kuek…! How did this situation ever arise…”

Rosenkreuz, who had been talking to himself, was suddenly reminded of Aleister.

‘That’s right, he said he was watching this sight!’

From Aleister’s point of view, Rosenkreuz should be an existence that still had enough value for further use.

He was an obvious enemy, but what if he could get him into this battle?

This thought deeply penetrated Rosenkreuz’s mind.

‘I will surely survive with his help, and I’ll also obtain Remegeton and Holy Grail in my hands!’

He had too much regret left in this world to die in this battle.

Since he had no more reason to consider his pride, Rosenkreuz raised his voice and called out for Aleister.

“Oh, my master, Aleister! As Your obedient lamb, I beg of thee to help me overcome this adversity!”

“… The God of Light’s Heretic Inquisitor is requesting support from the Head of Witches. He’s definitely a descendant of Judas Iscariot.”

In an instant, Woohyuk, who was close by, clicked his tongue and swung Verserios.
