Colossus Hunter

- Here comes the great con man.

K'Tuga, who saw me, simply meditated. Trickster. Not a bad idea.

“Thanks to you.”

- Now break my seal, as promised.

Engaging K'Tuga was a success. K'Tuga imitates the sun, so we can perform more smoothly.

I didn't know how much effect it would have, but it was better than nothing.

“What can I do? ”

- There's a seal deep within the tower that's holding my ankle. I will not escape this castle because of the Seal.

“The Seal can only be broken by the Sun King. ”

- That's right.

Slowly descend the tower. Right after the speech. No one was holding me back.

Now was our chance to break K'Tuga's seal.

“Who's sealing up one of your own? ”

When K'Tuga imitates the sun, his elegance is real. It was only right after I saw it that I wondered why such a powerful existence was sealed.

K'Tuga turns her head.

- The sun god.

“The sun god? It really exists? ”

- You gave a good speech about him, didn't you?

“It was an act of a fraud. I don't really believe it. ”

- Hmm, not the true sun god, of course. He was also a fake.

Fake. Created.

K'Tuga once told me that something like that had happened in Wigdrasil.

- The real one is trapped in the void. But he had a real will, even if it was fake. Because I played with fire, he used the remaining power of hope to trap me here. You can't just vanish me with a fake theme.

“Looks like you're playing with fire a little louder. ”

- I just wanted to know who's stronger than my fire or his. Fire is power, fire is source, fire is everything! I, myself, can't lose to a fire made of nothing but fire.

I knew this guy wasn't normal.

“Did you win?”

You locked me up because you couldn't handle it. He ran away with his tail!

I knew you'd say that.

I shrugged my shoulders as if it wasn't that important.

Not long after that, K'Tuga said again.

- I can't go down there anymore. Sealing me is blocking my approach.

“Stop you? ”

- Could be a hell of a sacrament. Fucking phony. Next time I see you, I'll chew you to shreds!

“Then how do I know I'm the Sacred relic? ”

- My flame will guide you.

K'Tuga shakes her head. The size of the flame grows more fiercely.

Soon, a very small part of the flame began to float in front of me. Then the flame settles back into a small spirit.

‘Fantastic.’

It's a sublime spirit, but it's made only by fire.

Maybe it's not just evolution, it's the power of creation.

I told you to go down there by yourself anyway. You nod.

I was also curious about the words "a great relic."

‘It is enough to seal the spirit of origin. ’

If that's really something that's great, it makes me more greedy.

‘By the way, the basement here is not managed. ’

Moreover, the more you go down to the basement, the less vigilante you are. Even after the speech is over, it is too lazy. I didn't see the Horsemen guarding it.

The area seemed to have collapsed or worn out as if it had not been managed. It was unbelievable that such an extraordinary artifact could be found in such a place.

No, this is how it became clear. No sun king has ever welcomed a solar bridge.

Was he being persecuted? ’

What I learned by staying here for a short time is that the influence of the solar bridge is not that great. There are few believers besides the Pope Corona. I felt strongly that it was left ‘formal’. That's why I prepared such a speech, but it seemed to be more controversial than I thought.

“You can't open this door because you're a king. ”

Apparently there was no one there at all.

There was a horseman dressed in ragged clothes.

Even the slightest eyes, nasty smells, and even the sickly look of it is blue.

“And you?"

“An nameless wanderer. I'm going to stay here for a while. ”

“Why do you think I can't open this door? ”

“Because there is no ‘faith.’ ”

Faith?

It was a big, fat noise.

A slight frown frowns, and the Horsemen speak.

“No king has ever opened this door. It was abandoned. It was forgotten. ”

“If you were a pastor of the Sun and the Church, you'd have good faith. ”

“The bishop follows. You don't have the authority to open this door. ”

There's a bone in the horse that the ramblings say. I didn't think it was just a horse. However, the magic in him was extremely faint. It was no different from a dying corpse.

I ignored the Horsemen and approached the gate.

A door only a king can open, but no king can.

There was no contradiction.

And let's slowly move our hands to the door hook.

Kuang!

Bounced off.

I had no choice but to crouch my face in a bad posture.

"Bounced?"

It is the body of Uriel Diablo, not the chill. Whatever was to be strengthened, no matter what was more than the middle, it was the body of the strong. But there was no room to resist. There was a tremendous repulsion.

Kuoooo!

It was the same no matter how many times I tried. I looked around at my magic, pulled it down with my sword, but it didn't work.

“I'll be back. ”

But it's not like there's no way.

I had the plural key to open every door.

‘Ignil.’

Ignil is the key. Ignil has never been able to open the door.

Beyond time and space, Ignil was able to reach wherever I was.

I went down the tower with Ignil again. However, Ignil looks down at the tower and tilts his head.

“There's nothing here. ”

“Nothing?”

“Yes! I don't see anything in Ignil's eyes. Dad, what do you got? ”

Ignil couldn't have lied.

I don't see the door or the devil standing next to it.

But I could clearly see it in my eyes. It was in front of me.

“Those who are not qualified cannot see the door with me. ”

The dying horseman said.

“Is that a dead man?”

“I'm just a wanderer staying here for a while. ”

I thought about it for a while. Invisible to others. It looked like a spirit, but it wasn't a spirit. If it was a spirit, I wouldn't have missed it.

But a dead man? I've never met a real 'ghost’ before. My ability to see through Uriel Diablo did not see the soul of the dead.

“Faith means faith in the sun-god? ”

“Faith in everything. ”

“There's no leading answer. ”

I didn't think I was going to answer correctly.

You shake your head and look at the giant door. The archaic record gives you access to all its secrets, but this door is unknown.

Faith. Faith in the sun-god is unfortunate, but it cannot be expected of me. Even if there is a God, I don't believe them. I only believed in myself.

Can't you open it? ’

You must open this place to unlock K'Tuga's Seal. If I gained the power of K'Tuga, I would feel as if I had gained 10 million horses.

But if you do not open it, everything is a sandbox.

“Give up. The Sovereign Union is poison. ”

“There is no door that cannot be opened. All doors are there to open. ”

If it doesn't open, it's not a door. And I was a man who couldn't give up. There must have been a way to open this door.

“Then trust me. ”

“I don't believe in the sun god. I just trust myself. ”

“Are you sure? ”

I begged for glances. I didn't know if I was questioning my faith in the sun-god or deniing my own faith.

Eventually, I had to go back. Then I searched all the traditions, but there was no story about that ‘door’. There was no mention of anything like it in the Solar Kings' Journal.

Three more days. I still haven't opened the door.

‘Jormungan would have given me a simpler answer. ’

Jormungan. Her whereabouts have remained unclear since the ‘fate-line’ with her. I didn't know if he was dead or alive. But she clearly had a firm ‘belief’.

Jormungan was the most intense subject I'd ever seen, and was united by faith. So I couldn't hate her.

But she wasn't here to answer my question.

“Lord, you look deep. ”

“Lyra.”

Lyra approaches with a thin face. For the past few days this place has been a prison for everyone, including me. The palace of the king was imprisoned inside and guarded by all.

As long as I know there's a traitor, I can't slow down my nerves. It was the same with Laira.

“Let me know if you have any concerns. I don't know if I can help, but... ”

“It helps to have you. ”

I've broken through the trials, but very few people recognize me as king. It caused a slight ripple shortly after the speech, but the results would take time.

During that time, I had to keep my place. I needed to look around with unwavering will and cold eyes.

“Thank you. Haona, don't worry. Nobody steals stories around here. ”

I thought I'd have a look around before I got here.

I sighed a little.

“Did you recognize the situation outside? ”

“Yes. After the war at the Cursed Shrine, Doom brought his faction together and killed the Falcon all at once." ”

“You're holding me back. ”

I can't even take a break from the transition, so I asked Lyra to report the situation. And what Lyra told me was shocking.

Doom. His stamina was truly remarkable.

The Falcon was originally the leader of a faction in collaboration with the Sun King.

The Falcon must have cut them off in advance, in case they joined forces with me.

“Are the other factions taking no action? ”

“Doom absorbed the power of the Falcon Faction, and Arheim and Zero faction formed a temporary alliance. ”

“What about the Neutral Demon Lords? ”

“Yet · · · · · · · ·. ”

“You're waiting for Andaton Bruciel. ”

Andaton Bruciel embarks on a journey to become the Lion King. If he is recognized as the true Lion King, there will be a new tectonic shift.

So Doom sped up. It was my willingness not to create a gap between me and the variable Andaton.

"Too soon. ’

Shit. It's faster than I thought. If we go on like this, we will soon enter the ‘Final phase’. Worst-case scenario, where all the daemons are headed to Earth.

I have to move, too. I can't just sit here and hold my ankle.

The first step to that was a speech, followed by K'Tuga.

The body of K'Tuga and Thousand Horses will be a powerful secret weapon. In order to do that, I needed to open the door.

‘Faith, faith. ’

But that belief is really ambiguous. I tried to believe in the sun-god, but the door still wouldn't open.

I looked at Lyra quietly.

Uriel Diablo asked me to ask her. I told her to tell the truth. He also said that she would accept it.

But I was still hesitant.

“Lyra, do you trust me? ”

“I trust you more than anyone. ”

She also had a distinct agenda.

Faith. When I think about it, I don't really have a role in faith. Even if I believed in myself, it was self-comfort in the end. After all, I don't trust anyone. Not even myself.

So I'm curious.

It's her faith.

“If I'm not Uriel Diablo, if I'm someone else in the hood of Uriel Diablo, can I still be trusted? ”

I finally said it.

He put Lyra Diablo on the test table called Faith.
