In another life

chapter-21-Able to make it.

“Gasp.” Cale subconsciously took a deep breath in. His head quickly turned toward Kim rok soo and the sculpture on the temple wall.

‘No matter how many times i have experienced it. Its still give me chills.’ His forehead was almost instantly covered in sweat.

The moment that the book that was surrounded by darkness in Kim rok soo's hand covered the sculpture’s face, he had felt an aura from the sculpture.

It was a terrible and eerie aura. It made him feel powerless, as if he was being dragged down into an endless swamp, and also made his heart rumble.

This terrible aura that was so terrible that it made them turn their heads even in this urgent situation was so terrible.

“Ugh.” Cale plopped down on the ground. He subconsciously mumbled. “Are you two having a fight of will?”

Kim rok soo had used Embrace. However, the sealed god was not Embraced immediately.

The God of Despair let out a mysterious aura, as if he was playing his final card, and tried to push Kim rok soo away.

‘No, he’s trying to swallow him.’ The feeling of falling and powerlessness tried to seep into him.

Cale immediately realized that falling into these two feelings would allow the sealed god to control them even if they managed to Embrace him successfully.

‘This must have been the scheme the sealed god had in store when making that deal with me.’ Kim rok soo immediately understood the sealed god’s original plan.

However, it would be difficult for the God of Despair’s plan to work now. Another god’s item was here right now.

The darkness surrounding the God of Death’s divine item and the formless aura flowing out of the sculpture were clashing against one another.

Death was trying to pull the sealed god into his domain. The darkness surrounding the divine item and Kim rok soo was protecting him while swallowing the sealed god’s aura.

‘Fuck! Hurry the fuck up!’ Cale bit down on his lips. His hands were shaking. It truly was different.

He had never felt like this. ‘It’s so much that it feels like it is going to overflow.’ His breathing was slowly getting heavier.

Kim rok soo was also in a similar state. His whole body was covered in a cold sweat and his hands that were holding the book were shaking more and more.

It was different from the Embrace he used in the past that had ended quickly. The sound of the two gods’ powers clashing echoed in his ear.

The quiet clashes were getting louder. Kim rok soo's ears started ringing and his head started hurting. It felt as if something was ringing in his head.

Kim rok soo felt the two gods’ powers still fighting against each other and asked. Kim rok soo's insides rumbled.

“Ugh.” He felt as if he would throw up. He heard a familiar voice in his mind.

– He’s resisting more than I expected. You may need to use a little more power. Will you be okay?

Kim rok soo realized that the voice echoing in his mind belonged to the God of Death. Was it this difficult to use a divine item to hear a god’s voice?

He cast aside multiple thoughts on his mind and nodded his head. ‘Yes! Use it, use it! I’ll persist.’ Kim rok soo was quite confident in his ability to persist.

The God of Death did not respond. Instead, Kim rok soo felt the darkness surrounding him becoming even thicker.

Furthermore, his hand was now shaking for a different reason. Death. He could clearly feel it.
