Chapter 1410
Chapter 1410
Goddess Vesta couldn't quite wrap her head around the situation she’d found herself in. If her eyes weren't deceiving her, the clusters of light that had just dropped from the airship in the sky were actually made of divine power.What the beings summoned through that divine power had just displayed was none other than a divine descent.
Humans couldn’t use divine descent.
In her world, some powerful individuals blessed by her grace had gained the rare ability to traverse space, but what she’d just witnessed was something entirely different. What they used was a spatial ability based on her grace. What the beings right before her eyes used was...
“Goddess, we will take out those who dare block your path!”
Regardless, her apostles prepared to attack, each drawing on their power.
A man engulfed in pitch-black flames charged forward at the head of the army, righteously shouting, “How dare you?! The sin of blocking the Goddess's path is heavy, but we'll show you mercy with a quick death.”
“W-w-wait!”
‘Something's off. This isn't right.’
A divine descent was impossible for humans. What she felt from the new arrivals was something beyond her knowledge. She was especially shocked by the petite girl wearing an eyepatch and the woman with light pink hair. The dangerous aura they radiated was on an entirely different level.
“Atoning for your sin with death!”
Vesta frantically shouted toward the first apostle who confidently charged, “W-Wait...”
Swoosh!!! Boom!!
“A second...”
Her words never fully reached anyone.
A massive roar rang out, followed by an enormous cloud of smoke rising up.
“Kihehehe!!” With a maniacal laugh and smooth, practiced movement, the opponent dodged the punch with ease. At the same time, he extended his hand into the opening of the attack.
The black flame, the ability of the apostle Ars, exploded under the blow and covered the laughing man. They were vicious flames that burned everything, not even a pile of ash. Everyone familiar with Ars’s ability instinctively knew that the arrogant man would burn alive in agony.
Yet what happened next shattered all of their expectations.
“It's decent, but it's just... not spicy enough.”
Engulfed in black flames, he didn't fall.
Ars couldn’t believe it. “What the fuck even are you...”
The man reached out an arm and fiercely grabbed Ars by the collar. His eyes then glowed ominously through the black flames.
[Devil Ylgr’s Crowd Suppression]
[Fierce Abdominal Strike]
No one could even properly see the solid punch flying out, such was its speed. The single blow created a massive shockwave and instantly tore apart the clouds in the sky where Ars stood.
In the quiet silence, a huge, circular red light pulsed on Ars's back. The circle, which gradually grew in size as if soaked in blood, was soon warped beyond recognition and slid down.
Ars collapsed in vain, even though he was one of Goddess Vesta’s most valued apostles. While he wasn't among the strongest of them, he had still received Goddess Vesta’s blessing.
Yet he had collapsed on the spot, spitting up blood foam, without even getting the chance to resist. Witnessed by all including his cherished goddess, he had been killed instantly with a single blow.
