Chapter 246 (1/2)

“Chwiiik. Interesting. How interesting!”

“Fighting with myself is so much fun! Chwiik!”

The two beings had the same appearance and tone. The two identical looking Mudurs ran at each other while snarling. The petals carried here by the wind were trampled and flew back into the air.

“I don’t know how many days I have been fighting. Chwiiik.”

“It has been exactly 58 days. Now let’s put an end to it. Chwiiik.”

“Chwik. Good. I'm tired of it.”

The two Mudurs pushed at each other using their muscles, as if they were showing off their strength. After becoming a Blood Orc, his red skin was filled with indescribable power. The thick blood vessels moved like a thousand year old earthworm.

How much time passed? The balance of power flowing between the two orcs leaned to one side. It was as if they were real. Soon, Mudur’s cry rang out through the wilderness. “Ohhhh!”

A wave of power spread out and the slightly stronger Mudur broke the slightly weaker Mudur’s arm. There was no time for the weaker Mudur to scream. The slightly stronger Mudur’s fist quickly struck his face.

“Gasp!”

The slightly weaker Mudur flew with a scream. He pierced through two rocky mountains and crossed the sea and river. He collided with a few geese before arriving at the sea again. This time, he bounced on the sea a few times like a skipping stone and sank into the sea. In this way, the slightly weaker Mudur met his end.

“Chwik. It isn’t a big deal.”

The slightly stronger Mudur, no, the real Mudur, looked up and smiled.

“Hmm. It is fun to fight with myself.”

The bloody fight ended on the 58th day. In this world called Mudur’s separate Star Cafe, he fought against his own alter ego for nearly two months. He was able to create food, clothing, shelter, and anything he wanted in this place, but Mudur wasn’t interested in that.

He wanted to fight.

Mudur felt too angry and aggrieved just watching the old man. Thus, he created his own alter ego and fought again and again. Of course, it was weaker than himself because it was an alter ego, but it was still stronger than other beings. It was because Mudur was the strongest. Therefore, the alter ego was also the strongest opponent.

“Sigh. Now I’ve relieved some of my stuffiness. Puhuhu!”

“Chwik. That old man doesn’t know anything.”

In the meantime, he couldn’t even speak with the old man because he had been too busy fighting the alter ego. He naturally didn’t know what the old man was doing now, how the old man was, or the situation. He just saw that the world hadn’t collapsed so the old man was still alive.

There was no interest.The lonely world was so strange that he gradually became exhausted.

“Chwik. Damn house.”

Mudur returned to the space that could be called a house. He walked in slowly. Foods inspired by the old man appeared in the air to alleviate his hunger and Mudur made a satisfied smile. He didn’t know about anything else, but the old man’s cooking skills were amazing. If he was an orc instead of a human, then he would’ve been Mudur’s personal chef.

“Hrmm.”

Then Mudur’s eyes fell on one place. He couldn’t know how long the coffin had been here. He just knew it had been here when he first came here. Lying there was a god called Prometheus.

‘He is a god who rules fire well.’

In any case, the reason why this god was in the old man’s body like himself wasn’t known by Mudur. He thought about the constellation he met last time, Camille, and how she had cried. Then he guessed the relationship between the two of them.

“Keeok.”

Mudur swallowed the food in his mouth at once, burped, and stood up. The place where he was heading was Prometheus’ location. Mudur looked down at Prometheus, who was asleep in the coffin, while picking at his own teeth with the leftover bones. Just then...

“Um?”

Suddenly, golden sparks appeared around Prometheus and moved to Mudur, who was standing next to him and watching. Mudur was flustered by the sudden attack.

“Hrmm.”

Mudur frowned as he looked down at his numb left arm. The golden sparks contained divine energy, but this didn’t mean it could attack him.

“This corpse lying down dared to make my arms numb. It is hateful. Chwiik.”

Mudur snorted strongly and raised his left hand to punch Prometheus in the cheek. He had always wanted to hit a god once, so it was his chance now that the god was sleeping. He probably wouldn’t have a chance to hit a god if it wasn’t now. It was the moment that Mudur’s left fist was going to touch Prometheus’ face...

“......!”

The startled Mudur’s eyes widened. Prometheus, who he thought was asleep, had blocked Mudur’s left fist with his one and only remaining arm. The sun was reflected in Prometheus’ eyes.

[Who the hell are you?!]

***

[The Taboo Curse on god of fire and prophecy, ‘Prometheus,’ has started to dissolve.]

I felt the golden sparks appear around my body and knew that Prometheus was finally awake. Then there was an explosion of energy deep in my heart.To borrow an expression from a martial arts movie, it was like my dantian was wriggling. In any case, it felt the same as when Prometheus was alive.

“Solar, Sun Explosion.”

“Understood, Master!”

Solar giggled like always and started to grow its body like a dump truck. It was quite intimidating since Solar had grown hands after evolving. It was the perfect celebration for Prometheus’ resurrection.
