Chapter 763
# It’s Karma (2)
The moment Cale was about to look into the divine item...
“Human!”
“Meeow!”
“Meeeeeow!”
He subconsciously raise his head again after hearing the voice of the children averaging nine-years-old. Cale heard an odd noise at that moment.
Screeeeeech- screeeeeeech-
His jaws dropped on their own.
“...Son of a......”
Eruhaben frowned and shouted.
“No wonder! I thought it was weird because the orb was moving!”
Cale realized that the fact that he could see the orb, which was straight above the temple, was weird.
“Eruhaben-nim.”
The ancient Dragon spoke with a stiff expression on his face at Cale’s calling.
“The orb slowly tilted since a few moments ago until it moved lower.
Cale finally realized that the remaining Dragons were in their Dragon forms and stationed around the temple and the orb.
“...This looks serious.”
Eruhaben quietly mumbled.
Screech--- screech- screech-
The odd noise was coming from the orb.
The orb that had been split into pieces and showing the inside of the temple until a few moments ago was now changing.
The six equal pieces disappeared and a red light or liquid started rising from the center.
The wet-looking red light swirled like a whirlwind and slowly increased its size within the orb.
It seemed to be boiling like lava.
Bang! Bang!
The odd noise changed.
Bang, baaaaang! Bang!
The red liquid started slamming against the walls of the orb as it grew.
It was as if it wanted to break through the orb and escape.
It reminded Cale of an outlet of a volcano.
Cale’s gaze moved down.
He could see Puzzle City.
“...Until the end-”
He scowled and clenched the hand that was holding < The Method to Kill Death >.
That was why he had put his guard down about something else for a moment.
“Human.”
Someone calling him in a low voice...
Cale flinched for a moment at Raon’s vicious gaze. He subconsciously looked away and made eye contact with On and Hong, which made him even more anxious.
The two of their gazes seemed quite scary as well.
“Human! Move your arm!”
“Huh?”
Cale, who could only respond stupidly, watched as Raon moved over, smacked his arm away and undid his shirt.
“T, t, this-!”
“I knew it would be like this, nya!”
“Meeeeeow!”
Raon, On, and Hong fiercely glared at Cale one after another.
The children only saw the healed scar.
‘What a relief.’
Eruhaben thought it was a relief that the children averaging nine-years-old did not see a sight that would have been much more grotesque than what they could imagine.
He then clicked his tongue.
‘He’s not an unlucky bastard, he’s a foolish bastard.’
He stealthily took a step back.
However, he had to stop walking.
“...Apparently it’s going to explode.”
‘What?’
The ancient Dragon turned his head to look at Cale.
Cale, who had managed to survive the children’s onslaught, was frowning while looking into the God of Death’s divine item.
Tap.
Someone walked into the temple.
“What do you mean by that?”
The calm and relaxed voice belonged to Alberu. However, Raon slowly moved back after seeing his face.
“Your highness-”
Choi Han, who was about to approach, flinched for a moment and stopped as well.
Alberu’s face was quite vicious and cold. His face had a look of rationality on it, but the fire in his eyes was what made it seem vicious.
“One moment please.”
Cale did not see Alberu’s face as he was focused on the divine item.

< The Method to Kill Death >
The God of Death was sending his will through this divine item.
Baaaaang! Baaaaang!
Mary, Rosalyn, Choi Han and the others were still destroying the hands that were reaching toward Cale.
However, Cale could not hear that noise or the sound of their allies outside the temple either.
< That orb is the sealed god’s eye. >
The God of Death did not beat around the bush.
< That orb will explode soon. >
< His goal is to take lives. >
Screeeeech--- bang, bang!
The odd noises in the orb mixed together and echoed in Cale’s ears.
< One of the many moments when humans despair is in the face of death. >
< With the Hunters turned away from him, the only thing this god, who has used up even the strength he originally preserved to release his seal, can do is to eat the despair of innocent people.
< I have no idea how strong this explosion from the orb will be. However, I am certain that it is strong enough to take down all of Puzzle City. >
< I will not go into anymore details right now. >
< This is too urgent to do that. >
‘This motherfucker.’
< That will explode in about 6, no, now 5 minutes. >
Cale’s mouth opened.
“Eruhaben-nim! Your highness!”
< Similar to how the temple was the sealed god’s domain... >
Just like how the God of Death could barely reach Cale through the cintamani and then could not reach him after that...
In addition, similar to how the sealed God of Despair was free in there...
There had been benefits in the temple for the God of Despair as it was his domain.
“Ah.”
Cale realized it as the God of Death explained.
< This book is my domain. >
Cale was already running with the open book in his hand.
< I want to put the God of Despair under my foot. >
< Then, unless you let him out... The sealed god will not be able to do anything in my domain for the rest of eternity. >
There was only 1 minute, no, less than 1 minute left now.
Bang, bang! Bang!
The sticky red light filling the orb started leaving faint traces on the orb.
Craaaaaaack--!
Red liquid poured out of the cracking orb.
The people looking up at the sky had to move quickly after hearing someone give orders.
“Go to the designated area now!”
“Hurry up and go into the building!”
Duchess Violan, who was looking at her watch, nodded her head.
“It’s done.”
Paaaaat-
A semi-circle covering all of Puzzle City started appearing at that moment.
Litana shouted toward Toonka.
“Commander!”
“I got it!”
Toonka swung the club.
Baaaaaang---!
The center of the staircase connecting the temple to the ground started breaking.
Booboboboooooooooom--!
The part of the staircase that was now disconnected from the temple started crumbling to the ground. An administrator from the Henituse territory who was nearby nodded his head to give the signal that it was safe.
Boom!
Litana looked at the completely destroyed bottom half of the staircase before quickly turning around and climbing the rest of the stairs.
“Let’s hurry!”
The stairs crumbled behind Litana and Toonka as they ran up.
Litana peeked back and smiled.
Paaaat-
In the now empty area where the staircase had been... A half-transparent barrier, this large-scale shield spell surrounded that open area.
The temple and the ground were completely separated now.
‘We did it!’
Litana turned her head with a sparkle in her eyes.
The temple and the orb were completely separated from Puzzle City down on the ground.
Litana looked toward the temple and stepped onto the stairs.
“Commander, we should move toward the temple-”
She could not finish her sentence.
‘Huh?’
Craaaaaaack--!
The sticky red light flowing out through the crack...
It was an extremely small amount.
‘The Dragon’s mana-!’
However, that red light was destroying the beige-colored mana barrier very quickly.
Craaaack-
It was a barrier created by a Dragon, but it was crumbling faster than she had expected.
“Shit!”
Mila’s face stiffened. It was not just her. The Dragons looked at each other as Rosalyn, who was floating up in between them, shouted.
“He might be sealed but he is still a god!”
Gold dust started fluttering around Eruhaben.
“The level of ominousness is different.”
The red light that had pierced through the orb... This sticky, liquid-like light gave off an ominous and eerie feeling the moment it appeared, letting people feel that it was not from this world. Eruhaben realized that quicker than anybody else.
“Shit!”
Eruhaben shot up into the air as well.
Babababang--!
The red light that had slowly been coming out of the orb swirled into a whirlwind and burst out. The orb cracked and crumbled feebly from the red light that looked as if the sun was exploding.
“Ugh!”
Mila, who was channeling her mana to fortify her barrier, frowned.
Eruhaben immediately moved to support her.
It was at that moment.
“Human!”
The ancient Dragon turned his head after hearing Raon shout to see Cale, who was holding the open book as he ran toward the numerous sculpture hands that were not destroyed yet.
< 30 seconds left. >
Cale didn’t even read what was written on the paper as he shouted after seeing the sculpture hands grabbing him.
“Mary, pull back your mana!”
The threads made of dead mana quickly disappeared.
Cale was caught by the sculpture hands. His whole body hurt from the forceful grip. Cale quietly whispered to the sculpture of the sealed god on the wall.
“I’ll do as you wished.”
The sculpture hands holding Cale instantly let him go.
Grab.
However, Cale grabbed a sculpture hand with one hand.
The black book in his other hand quickly started having the pages turn and let out an odd color.
It was pitch black.
It was the color of darkness.
Cale mumbled to himself while watching the darkness wrap around him.
“I guess even Embrace is different for divine items.”
Swoooooooosh-
Wind gathered around Cale’s feet and he kicked off the ground.
He then stepped on the altar and shot up.
Cale made eye contact with the sculpture engraved on the wall.
“Let’s end this.”
As the black book wrapped in darkness covered the sculpture’s face...
Craaaack---!
The orb above the temple broke completely and red light poured out like a starving demon. The desperate red light started ripping away at the Dragon’s mana.
