My mother's love song

Scathach, who suffered what could be called a great humiliation, did not get angry, but just looked down at the boy silently.

There was a gleam of wisdom in those beautiful scarlet eyes.

That was the result of her transcending humanity and slaughtering gods, and it was precisely because of being in another world that she gained supreme wisdom.

In addition to hero-specific skills, Scathach can use almost all skills with a proficiency of B to A rank.

When fighting, she often uses the A-level equivalent of [Clairvoyance] to predict the battle situation and analyze the enemy's level.

Staring at Rhode, Scathach raised her eyebrows calmly: "I see... It doesn't look like just nonsense."

Scathach's beautiful face revealed her undisguised admiration for the young man.

"Very good, people with power should be arrogant enough.

If you don't believe in your own strength, you are not qualified to be called a strong warrior."

In the eyes of the queen, this arrogant young man was undoubtedly a powerful enemy who could be ranked top among all the opponents he had ever met.

Looking down from a high position, the Queen recognized Rhodes' heroism as a hero's teacher.

"Really? Why do I feel that your evaluation is too frivolous?" Rhodes said disapprovingly.

"What do you mean?"

"Is the power you see in me really all my power?"

The young man with long golden hair said with a sly smile: "Is there a possibility that the strength you saw of me is what I want you to see?"

"........."

Scathach was speechless.

She was once the most outstanding druid in Ulster, and her eyes that could see through everything would certainly not make a wrong assessment of anyone.

Scathach thought that Rhodes was very strong, but only strong enough to fight with her, and not as strong as he claimed.

and so.

This arrogance is the source of his strength and courage... right?

In her long life, this was the first time Scathach had seen someone so arrogant.

Only the weak, like frogs in a well, will look down on others. This is an eternal truth.

The stronger, braver and more experienced the warriors are, the more cautious they are, because they know the vastness of the world and the preciousness of life.

But Rhodes' style was completely different from the warriors Scathach had witnessed.

The Queen of Shadow Kingdom stood up from the Iron Throne, looked down at the young man in front of her, and declared loudly.

"Warrior who has entered the demonic realm, I can certainly meet your request.

Not to mention my underwear, you can take everything from me, but before that... show me Scathach your strength!"

The words fell.

Scathach pushed the ground with her long legs and leaped up like a crimson bird.

With a slight smile on her beautiful face, Scathach wordlessly launched a gorgeous high kick into the air.

The toe of the high-heeled shoe stopped at a certain coordinate for a moment, and the entity of a red spear emerged from the space there.

Then, kick out.

With a perfect high kick that flowed smoothly, the Cursed Spear was launched out in the form of a foot strike.

Far exceeding the speed of the wind, the speed of the spear far surpasses the speed of sound.

That is the legendary female warrior of Ulster, Scathach's proud stunt, the famous kick that amazed many warriors.

But that’s not all.

Scathach accelerated her rotation and kicked out a second time without stopping.

boom! ! !

The second magic spear shot out straight and fast.

Two crimson fangs cut through the air in a straight line, releasing a shock wave. All the window panes of the Kingdom of Shadows shattered and flew apart under the pressure of the loud noise and strong wind.

Scathach did not release her true name, but the explosive magic contained in the crimson spear tip was enough to destroy the terrain and destroy an entire army.

The red spear was aimed at Rhodes' chest, but judging from its firepower, it would not penetrate the heart at all. The burning spear would evaporate the boy and everything within a radius of dozens of meters around him.

This was the test that Scathach gave to the young man. If Rhodes was really as brave as he imagined, he should be able to take these two javelins.

However, the result that Scathach expected did not happen.

Rhodes did not raise his arm to catch the javelin, nor did he use his weapon to knock the magic spear back.

Rather, his body failed to react at all.

As Scathach stared in amazement, the javelin pierced through the boy's body one after another.

One pierced his heart, and the other pierced his abdomen, shattering Rhodes' upper body.

"It turns out that the person who can kill me is not you..."

Scathach's pupils dimmed.

But what happened after that was jaw-dropping.

Although the red spear penetrated Rhodes' chest from the front, it did not go out from the back, but was stopped abruptly.

Rhodes was not blown away by the huge kinetic energy of the javelin, but stood firmly in place.

What’s even more shocking is that after the boy’s statue-like perfect upper body was destroyed, what was torn apart was not flesh and internal organs.

The wound on his chest, which had been ripped apart by the thorns of the cursed spear, was like a gate to darkness.

The dark sky.

A deep and large cave.

It was absolute darkness.

A bottomless hell where not even time and space are allowed to exist, let alone life.

"........."

Scathach opened her trembling red eyes wide.

what is that?

Even though he has lived for thousands of years, he has killed countless gods and illusions.

Even with the nearly omniscient wisdom of the demon world, he could see the end of the world.

She still couldn't answer this extremely simple question.

"What is 'that' in the boy's body?"

More mysterious than mystery.

Older than ancient.

More desperate than despair.

It cannot be described in words, cannot be recognized by the eyes, and cannot be thought of by the mind.

That might be the origin of the word "horror".

All the horrible things that have ever appeared on this planet emerged from that "door"... The queen had such an absurd idea.

At this moment, six arcs of light lit up at the bottom of the darkness that no mystery could reach.

"Eye……"

Six beastly eyes filled with evil stared at Scathach.

Many nouns flashed through the mind of the Queen of Shadow Kingdom in an instant.

Cerberus, the dog of hell in Greek mythology...

Abaddon, the Demon King of Apocalypse...

The evil dragon Aziz Dahaka of the Thorodosiya Cult...

The ultimate evil that surpasses the most powerful beasts in mythology is right there.

Is Rhodes raising a monster inside his body?

No...that's not the case at all.

That monster... must be Rhodes' true identity.

Gulu gulu gulu...

A chilling sound.

The red spear inserted in the darkness was twisted and being eaten.

There are only three heads, but the jaws seem to have billions, symbolizing the monster's endless power of gluttony.

A huge roar that was unclear whether it was joy or anger came from inside the boy's body.

The two magic spears that the Queen of Shadow Kingdom was so proud of were devoured in an instant, leaving no trace of magic power.

Then, a black shadow began to boil inside the boy's shattered upper body.

With its appetite stimulated, it pulses and beats, ready to pounce outward and devour the world at any time.

Be it the undead or the queen, the Kingdom of Shadows will be ruthlessly devoured by the dark beasts in an instant.

There is nothing left that can stop it.

There simply is no hero capable of stopping a monster like that.

"...Ah, don't eat weird things!"

Rhodes lowered his head and punched himself in the chest.

"Go back here."

Chapter 499 Come, Sweet Death

"Go back here."

Rhodes punched into the darkness in his chest.

The abyss inside the body let out a low roar that shook time and space. No...it was more of a wail than a roar.

The countless teeth and jaws that were about to burst out and devour everything in the universe suddenly stopped as if the pause button had been pressed.

The boiling sea of ​​disaster gradually calmed down, and then six shining eyes silently sank into the darkness and disappeared, never to be seen again.

"I actually...really took it back..."

Scathach, who was watching this scene in silence, couldn't help but think.

Such plots are often found in myths, legends, biographies and poems around the world, where many heroes hide their dark side.

Just as light and shadow, appearance and interior coexist, even the greatest heroes have a dark side.

With great power comes the impulse to destroy, and with great glory comes pure desire.

The most powerful enemies of legendary heroes are often not from outside, but from within themselves.

Heroes, wise men, virtuous kings, ascetics, their lives are a journey of fighting with their inner selves and struggling in endless pain.

However, the boy in front of him was completely different.

Scathach was amazed at how easily he controlled his power and desire.

The monster [Desire] that was powerful enough to devour the world was easily sealed back to its original place by Rhodes.

Yes, that's right.

It's a piece of cake.

Can I do it?

It can’t be done. It’s absolutely impossible.

It is common to lose your composure and forget yourself in battle, and even Scathach is no exception.
