Chapter 496
The statue of the Demon God bloomed serenely in the endless darkness.
The Essences, peering inside through Jack, lamented.
[Water: Ha, Wol… that bastard.]
[Wood: How much Essence did he gather…?]
[Metal: Almost over 80%. More than I imagined?]
[Water: He’s really insane.]
The Essences’ prediction was correct.
The Essence of the Moon was slumbering inside the temple, designed not to awaken unless a medium arrived.
And that medium was this God Slayer-class weapon.
Kugugugu…!
The statue began to shake.
“Kkeueuk?”
Jack’s eyes widened as he writhed in pain.
Really.
This weapon was the key?
[Wol: You are…]
At that moment, a black orb was spat out from the statue’s mouth.
It was only a fragment, an extremely small portion of the Essence filling the statue.
However, the power contained within was equal to the fragments of Fire, Water, Wood, Metal, and Earth within the weapon.
[Wol: How did you break through and find this place?]
[Water: Shut up! You moron!]
[Wol: W-What suddenly.]
[Water: Aww, you burn.]
Wol was taken aback by Water’s sudden outburst of curses, but he endured it.
Memories of the past resurfaced.
Back then, when the invasion of the betrayers led to the loss of dominion over the universe.
We made a promise among ourselves.
To tear our powers into tens of thousands of pieces and scatter them throughout the universe.
To ensure a future through that power.
[Fire: Wol, why did you break our promise and accumulate 80% of your power here?]
