Chapter 120: Awakening of Destruction, Part 1
A red beast carrying a human’s will cried out.
The voice reverberated throughout the space and was absorbed into the ground. As if in response, the ground began to tremble.
The small tremor quickly grew in scale and intensity. The lids that dotted the floor of the cave opened. Something crawls out from those holes all at once.
Cretovastia.
One after another, countless beasts erupted. The sounds of their chitinous shells rubbing against one another filled the cave.
Just as it seemed the cave would be filled with beasts, the Mystic Beast opened its wings and began to fly. Its cry changed in pitch and played a unique tune.
As the Mystic Beast heads towards the cave leading to the exit, the cretovastia follow after it like a wave. They were completely under the control of the Mystic Beast.
The giants of the Rubel Clan, who had been frowning at the sound of the writhing beasts, took a breath once the cretovastia had left.
“Hmph, finally. Such a waste of time. The king is waiting, we must leave at once. Stop the beasts, Oberon.”
As he watched the cretovastia fly away, he suddenly felt like something was wrong. The poem. The sound was still continuing.
The sound was still flowing from the building, even after the cretovastia had flown away. In fact, the sound was getting louder.
It was no longer enough to shake the space, but it was enough to create pressure on the Magha. An intense headache assaulted him, and he couldn’t help but hold his head. His guardian warriors were also affected, struggling to stand.
“What are you doing Oberon! The beast… quickly put it to sleep!!”
The poem just kept on increasing in pressure. Soon, it reached the point where the ground began to shake.
No, that’s wrong. It simply felt like the ground was shaking. The giants collapsed to their knees.
The ground split apart in front of the Magha, who looked up with bloodshot eyes. The building began to crumble with a creaking sound, and the earth began to rise.
Something was trying to rise to the surface, destroying the cave itself.
“Y-you…! Do you understand what you’re looking at? Are you trying to make the “Beast” open its eyes!?”
The Magha’s looked up, astonished at what moved in front of him. An enormous, too enormous being was moving. Amidst the billowing clouds of dust, numerous eyes looked down emotionlessly at the giants.
From somewhere, Oberon’s voice echoed.
“Magha…no, Astoragali. You are too late. The “Beast” is completely within our hands. Your power is no longer needed anywhere. It’s a shame, what a pity.”
A feeling of dread welled up from the bottom of the Magha’s heart. That which should not be awoken, had been awoken. He knew very well what it would bring about.
“Do not…! Do not let the “Beast” awaken! You fool, your eyes are distorted!. If that thing is freed from its shackles, even you goblins will not be safe!”
“Hahahah! My apologies for causing you such worries. But really, did you truly think we would just keep doing what you said forever? Certainly, you managed to make such use of my parents. However, we do not exist for you to use!”
Tearing through the earth, a giant “limb” appeared.
The limb, which alone was larger than the Astoragali, crushed the warriors with ease.
“I told you, the “Beast” is in our hands. Did you not understand the meaning of those words?”
The Magha stands up. Even in the face of an absolute existence, he weaves his Magia to resist.
“No, no, I will not let you!”
With his shout, flames burst towards it, but they were easily dispersed with a swing of it’s leg.
“Well, rest assured, giants. You will be the only ones getting eaten. From now on you guys will be it’s food. Allow me to thoroughly enjoy such a scene. Don’t hold back, this guy is filled with our true feelings as “gratitude” for all you have done for us.”
“Oberon…! What you see is a mistake. You will pay for this one day…! The Beast is not something you can control…!”
The Magha’s shout was interrupted by a swing of the limb, crushing him easily.
It was just too overwhelming. The Beast didn’t care about the giants and continued to rise. The collapse of the cave accelerated and finally it’s huge body broke through the ceiling, leaving the entire space behind, buried under the earth.
“Hahahahaha……I already know that. I know that very well. But it doesn’t matter.”
Within the vortex of destruction that tore the earth apart, Oberon’s laughter echoed loudly
“Something to that extent won’t stop me. The time has arrived, there’s no point being silent any longer! I…I will take back……everything!”
-Upper Town
The walled city of the goblins was now in the midst of collapse. The earth creaked and the streets cracked and shattered. The buildings collapsed one after another, and even the mystic knight workshop was swallowed by a cloud of dust. The tallest castle in the middle of the city also crumbled all too quickly.
Everything was reduced to rubble and dust.
A long limb protruded through the thick cloud of dust. Through the thick cover of smoke, something was wriggling. A rainbow-coloured glow flickered and the “Beast” continued to rise. Rubble and dirt spilled out endlessly, and a thunderous roar echoed into the surroundings.
In exchange for the existence of the city, the “Beast” broke through the shell of the earth and was born on the surface. As if to celebrate the birth of their master, the cretovastia hovering in the sky gathered around it.
The sound of the crumbling dirt that cascaded off it like a waterfall, combined with the strange poem, that continued to echo. A melody of madness that could not be called a cry or a scream. In addition, the sound of the buzzing wings of the cretovastia is added, and a song that would twist the sanity of those listening was born.
