6.
Around the time the eye of the Despair Lord manifested in the Abyss.
The wavelength of that manifestation could reach deep into the Demon Realm like ripples forming on a lakeshore.
The Archduke of the Demon Realm, sitting on a throne that wasn't a throne, felt that ripple and lifted his head.
Even though the wounds he suffered from the previous Overlord, Helena, had yet to fully heal.
At the nostalgic wavelength, the Archduke's eyes opened halfway.
At the same time, recalling the humiliating past, the Archduke's expression only deepened.
Feeling that energy that was once the exclusive property of the Demon Realm.
【Despair…… It is a nostalgic energy.】
Originally belonging to the Demon Realm, it was one of the six sins that the hateful and terrifying Helena had snatched away from the Demon Realm.
The Archduke could definitely feel the awakening of the Monarch containing that energy.
Now belonging to the Overlord, the despair that her disciples had sealed deep away with a clever move at the time of Helena's death had awakened.
Since it had manifested in the present world.
It would be nothing for that despair to spread throughout the world.
Soon, when despair covered the entire continent.
【I must return it to the Demon Realm.】
The Despair Lord, no. Even if not the Despair Lord, he had to absorb the energy of despair.
Only then would he be able to stop the Black Star, the strongest being existing in the present world.
The Archduke thought so, and just as he was about to reach out to the Sword Saint in the present world, he hastily changed his mind.
Because the Sword Saint was not in his right mind right now.
If he were to harvest despair, that madness might flare up, and he might become uncooperative even to him.
Rather.
【I should call my noble.】
Count Marmon, whom he had sent up seizing an opportunity at some point.
Thinking he should issue an order to the guy, the Archduke lowered his raised head and closed his eyes again.
Because recovering from his wounds as quickly as possible was the most important thing for now.
Leaving the despair entirely to Marmon.
He devoted himself to healing again.
Although there was also the variable called the Overlord in the present world.
【'It's not even Helena, so there's no way a young Overlord who has barely taken his first steps could absorb despair.'】
Unless he was born with talent surpassing Helena's, it was impossible.
And a talent superior to that nightmare-like Helena?
There was no way such a thing could exist.
No, it must not exist.
7.
A single eyeball floating in the empty air.
With a diameter of roughly 1m, it could be said it wasn't a particularly massive size in Eternal World where giant monsters were ubiquitous, but.
Just the fact that a single eyeball floated alone in the empty air where there was nothing else was extremely bizarre.
Everyone was in a state of maximizing their vigilance, even if they didn't show signs of tension.
They wanted to launch an attack towards the eye of the Despair Lord whose manifestation hadn't finished yet, but.
Perhaps it was treated as an event scene by the system, as the act of attacking itself seemed to be prohibited.
Like that, everyone had no choice but to quietly watch the eyeball manifest while helplessly rooted to the spot.
While Seonghyun was also watching like that.
Suddenly, ashen clumps like flesh began to bubble and bloom around the eyeball.
Bubble, bubble, bubble.
As if flesh was boiling, it multiplied and wrapped around the eyeball, and gray flesh like ash sprang up around the eyeball and began to turn into tentacles, and countless small eyes sprang up on the ashen flesh wrapping the eyeball.
As tens, hundreds, no, perhaps over thousands of eyeballs sprang up.
Most frowned upon seeing that.
-Blegh.
-Isn't this the undisputed top tier of grossness among bosses?
-Crazy, to think something like that exists;;;;
-Shouldn't this be censored;;;;
-It's seriously freaking gross……
The viewers were also in an uproar expressing their nausea.
Of course, there was no time to care about such things.
In a situation where it was unknown when the event scene would end, Seonghyun repeatedly drew up the energy of darkness, and eventually, when all the guy's tentacles fully bloomed.
Darkness bloomed around Seonghyun.
Everyone in the competent backup teams started moving one by one with the darkness blooming around Seonghyun as the starting point, but.
Naturally, the fastest was Seonghyun.
The darkness surged up and occupied the surroundings, and eventually achieved materialization and gradually hardened.
The darkness blooming from Seonghyun's fingertips shot towards the eye of the Despair Lord, showing a sharpness and hardness capable of slicing anything, gleaming like a single mineral like obsidian.
A darkness that couldn't even be compared to mere blades of darkness flew in as if obsidian was growing, and the eye of the Despair Lord swung its tentacles towards the obsidian-like darkness.
Chwaaaaa———!!!
Pasasasasasa.
Countless tentacles were swung, and a long-delayed sound echoed everywhere, as obsidians, which broke at an unknown moment, scattered in all directions.
At the point when Seonghyun's attack returned to nothing.
Between the darkly gleaming darkness in the empty air, Luna flew towards the eye of the Despair Lord first.
As the tough fist of the Barbarian Monarch containing primordial great power flew towards the eye of the Despair Lord, the countless small eyes attached to the eye of the Despair Lord focused on Luna.
Jjiiing——.
At that moment, Luna's body stopped for an instant, and a tentacle swung like a whip towards Luna.
The moment the tentacle, which once again made even sound sluggish, tried to bisect Luna, flashing lightning from the ceiling, despite being underground, struck down even faster than the tentacle making sound sluggish, and split the tentacle.
Chwaaaa——!!!
Flash————!!!
And as the light of the lightning spread in all directions in an instant.
As the entire cavity flickered and completely obscured the vision of the eye of the Despair Lord, Luna's movement returned, and without panicking, Luna swung her fist containing primordial great power towards the eye of the Despair Lord.
Tukwaaaaang————!!!
The fist containing great power smashed right into the eye of the Despair Lord, and the guy ultimately couldn't handle that great power and was shot out like a cannonball, slamming into the wall.
A fleeting moment where the time taken up to this point was less than a single second.
Splitting that fleeting moment, blood drops sprouted in the empty air, and the blood drops shot out like needles towards the eye of the Despair Lord that was slammed into the wall like a cannonball.
Syusyusyusyusyusyusyusyu———!!!
Countless sharp needles flew in cleaving the air, and numerous needles completely filled the wall.
In the time that split a fleeting moment.
The moment the needles of blood rushed in as if stretching time out long like taffy, the shattering obsidians stopped in the empty air as if the time stretched like taffy had stopped, and flew towards a single destination, revealing their sharpness without filtration.
Ssssssssssssssss!!!
The sharpness capable of slicing through everything flew toward the wall, and the surface where the Despair Lord's eye had been was forced to transform into a tattered mess as it was hacked to pieces.
Even so, Seonghyun had not stopped yet.
The blood magic of the Embris team, which was capable of long-range attacks, the magic fired by Elzahar of the Luna team, and even the spears of light and shadow winds fired by Meiran and Kurosawa Ren of the Kyou team were all unleashed, causing the wall to crumble completely.
Those who saw the wall collapse entirely as thick dust billowed up remained on high alert.
It was an attack close to a combined strike from four people with incredible Almighty classes, after all.
There was no way the boss of the 96th floor (which demanded cooperation that hadn't been seen until now) would have been defeated by just this.
Of course, regardless of the team members' thoughts, the viewers had no choice but to be shocked.
-Wow crazy what did I just see???
-Wait, something just went whoosh and passed by?
-Aren't they going to give us a slow-mo for this????
-No lmao how are we supposed to see this if they don't give us slow-mo???
-Whoa, all that stuff happened and not even a second passed?
-Crazy, I clipped this so I'm gonna have to watch it in slow-mo.
-Real, I don't even know what happened, how did that thing end up stuck in the wall???
-I seriously don't know.
The viewers were left bewildered as the situation unfolded before they could even see anything.
Regardless, everyone was fixated on the wall.
And sure enough, countless somethings shot out from between the thick dust.
Syuk!
Swik!
Huuk!
Just as the Despair Lord's eye swung its tentacles, cutting through the thick dust to attack everyone, darkness rising from the floor bound all those tentacles as if seizing them.
In an instant, the movement of every tentacle halted.
As the darkness pulled the Despair Lord's eye, the eyeball that had been stuck in the wall popped out.
The party began to unleash their attacks toward the bound and dragged-out eye of the Despair Lord.
The melee classes approached first, unleashing swords, daggers, and arrows, while the long-range classes cast distance attacks to support them.
But at that moment, an ashen energy began to dwell in every single eye attached to the Despair Lord's eye.
As the energy of despair surged and settled into the eyes, everything they looked at was shrouded in despair and stopped moving. In that gap, the Despair Lord's eye tried to sever its own tentacles and attack with newly regenerated ones.
However, only Seonghyun endured the despair completely and smirked.
He looked at the Despair Lord's eye as if it had actually fallen into a trap.
The eye realized something was wrong at that moment and tried to escape belatedly, but it was already too late.
Seonghyun's darkness bloomed and surged toward the Despair Lord's eye, and a massive thorn of darkness pierced through its body as it erupted from the floor.
Puuuuuuuuk!
Literally having its eyeball skewered, the creature writhed in agony, and Seonghyun deployed his darkness toward it.
The darkness that pierced the Despair Lord's eye moved stealthily, wrapping around the entire creature and covering the thousands of pupils scattered across its surface.
With that, all members of the backup team sprang into action and focused all their attacks on the Despair Lord's eye.
As the attacks hit, the darkness shattered and pierced through the eyes; countless fragments of darkness were embedded in the creature's eyes, and it was riddled with wounds.
-Are they winning?
-Did they win?
-Already?
-Ah crazy, who's typing that kind of chat???
-Wow, look at that lack of tact.
A few among the viewers typed chats that spoiled the mood.
And sure enough.
Bubble, bubble, bubble.
-No, why are you setting up a flag;;;;
