Swordmaster's Youngest Son Novel - Chapter 870
## Chapter 870
The three people’s eyes widened at Ayula’s words.
«Now? Lady Ayula, did you say Zito will appear in the Holy Kingdom now?»
[Yes, to find his own eye.]
In the Holy Kingdom, Zito needed his own eye to be ‘complete’. Because of that eye, Talaris-nim was still subject to many restrictions even after Elona’s seal was broken.
«Lady Ayula, isn’t there a problem with Zito’s eye if he appears near the Holy Kingdom?»
[It seems you are worried about the lady who was helping Lani stabilize her eye, Jin. As I am in an elevated state now, Zito’s energy cannot reach the inside of the Holy Kingdom. Even if he has recovered more power than I expected, he is not at a level to annihilate me. She will be safe today.]
«Hmm, that demon bastard. He suddenly appears without warning and causes a ruckus. Ayula, what should we do now? Should we help you and fight him?»
«If necessary, I will immediately mobilize all the high-level personnel of the alliance.»
Both Jin and Murakan spoke simultaneously. Ayula patted Jin on the head as if she was impressed.
[Today, it might be better to conclude it with a battle between gods. If we fight together, one of you will surely die. However, even if Zito is defeated, he will never perish. So, after inflicting some damage on him today, it would be right for you to plan for the future.]
«Still, wouldn’t it be better to call the children and have them on standby, just in case? I’m worried.»
[Right now, my barrier is at its strongest, so spatial jumps with the help of human technology are impossible in the first place. Worries are unnecessary… Murakan, have you forgotten who I am?]
«The Goddess of Peace, the noble Lady Ayula. Tremendously powerful…»
[Yes, I am the Goddess of Peace. That is why I possess the highest level of authority among the gods. To safeguard peace and order, such ability is necessary. The one who is burdened now is not me, but Zito.]
Ayula extended her ten pairs of wings.
[Lani, when you leave this place, continue praying with my children. Your prayers give me great strength. My fight with him will take place outside the barrier over the capital.]
Lani bowed her head.
In the blink of an eye, Ayula soared into the sky, and the gray area became blurry, revealing the outline of the capital. Jin, Murakan, and Lani were back in the middle of the Great Temple.
«Lady Ayula… fight to protect us!»
«Lady Ayula!»
The people gathered in the Great Temple were also aware that Ayula had started a battle against Zito. Ayula had sent Jin’s group back to the human world and informed those who believed in her about the situation.
“My subjects, I will convey Lady Ayula’s words. I will face the enemy, so pray for me. Everyone, gather on the rooftop. We will pray together.”
Lani’s voice had a divine power. The connection between her and Ayula had become even deeper and stronger just by being near her.
As they ascended to the rooftop of the Great Temple, they saw the golden barrier covering the night sky.
And beyond that, was Ayula in her elevated state, and in front of her was a massive fissure that had never been seen in the human world.
Five hundred years ago, during the Holy Kingdom’s protection war, when Helluram summoned the Demon Kings, there was no fracture of this scale. It was a moment that showed a glimpse of Zito’s authority and power.
Slowly, Zito revealed himself from within the fissure. His colossal face glowed with purple hues, resembling a dragon, and he had seven horns jutting out from his head.
If Ayula hadn’t been here…
Ordinary humans would have lost their minds and become paralyzed just by witnessing Zito’s form. Ayula’s energy and barrier were protecting them from Zito’s influence.
«The evil god, or the Black Sea King Gliek. Is this being even darker and more terrible than them?»
«Seriously, it’s so dense. Who has something like this?»
Ayula, who had seemed so divine and massive, had become comparatively small.
«Both of you, observe the fight.»
«We would also like to support Lady Ayula. Can’t we pray together?»
«Anyway, prayers without true faith won’t have much effect. Besides, you two will have to fight that terrible being later… It’s better to observe his abilities. Lady Ayula would probably want that too.»
Jin and Murakan nodded.
The subjects gathered without specific orders or control, took their places, and knelt on the ground. Following Lani’s lead, everyone began to pray, and a beam of golden energy rose above the barrier. The energy connected to Ayula’s back.
Meanwhile, Zito pushed Ayula’s energy aside and emerged from the fissure. He also had ten pairs of wings like Ayula.
[Ayula… It’s been a long time.]
[You should know well that you are not allowed to set foot on this land, Zito. Return to your place.]
[Bring me my eye. If you do, you won’t be ashamed in front of your insignificant followers today.]
[What a fool, Zito. Since the beginning of the mortal era, no one who has angered me has obtained favorable results. You will not be an exception.]
[The mortal era… So you saw this world that way after the Sun God’s death. This dim and chaotic era is now coming to an end. By Zito’s hands. Pain will complete you!]
Zito and Ayula simultaneously formed their weapons.
An axe overflowing with thorns and twenty spears. Zito raised the thorny axe with one hand, and Ayula’s spears floated next to each of her wings.
Ayula took the initiative. When she extended her hand, the twenty spears charged together, but Zito did not dodge.
His horns were broken, his wings were torn, and his body was filled with huge holes.
Zito trembled in apparent agony, but he smiled and spoke.
[Ah… yes, this is it. Exciting, isn’t it, Ayula? How long has it been since I felt so much pain?]
Ayula continued sending her spears towards him without answering. However, Zito’s recovery was faster than the speed at which Ayula’s spears could injure him.
«Wow… that guy really is a problem.»
Zito was a manifestation of evil and darkness itself. He loved pain, and as a result, he spent a lot of time torturing himself after conquering the True Demon World.
In the True Demon World, there was no one else who could give him pain that was truly painful.
While Ayula fought for the peace and balance of the human world, for Zito, this battle was simply a source of pleasure.
[Playing alone is a lonely task, Ayula. After all, the concept of existence is that anything is truly enjoyable only when shared. Those who suffer together, sharing pain. Have you ever witnessed anything more beautiful than that? Why did I agree to leave alone with my eye? I was so happy that way.]
[Even without monsters like you, the human world is already a place filled with enough suffering. Don’t belittle the lives of mortals. This world is one where everyone rises and moves forward with their individual pains.]
[So that’s why I’m so interested, Ayula. Wound my body with more force and more brutality! No, it’s not exactly this feeling! How to do it, let me show you.]
Zito confidently walked through the sky towards Ayula.
[First, when you want to press the opponent, move slowly, very slowly. That way, the fear will multiply. Even if you go slowly, they can’t escape. Can it be said that it is the most classic but perfect method? Then, when you want to strike somewhere, like this. Boldly and menacingly!]
Zito’s thorny axe distorted the sky and fell on Ayula’s shoulder. Golden flesh and blood splattered, but two spears also pierced Zito’s neck.
It wasn’t a battle of gods against gods; it was more like barbarians were fighting.
Such a battle continued for a while. Dodging and blocking while fighting meant they couldn’t inflict decisive damage.
For anyone watching, it was clear that Ayula was being pushed back.
But Ayula looked at Zito without showing any signs of hesitation.
[Zito, look behind you.]
[Why, did you prepare a surprise for me back there?]
[Why do you think I’ve been pushed back by you so far? It’s because I was blocking your way back.]
At her words, Zito showed signs of confusion for the first time and turned around.
The huge fissure from which he emerged was now being eroded due to Ayula’s energy.
[The reason you were able to stand your ground was probably because you thought you could always retreat to that place if things got tough. And cowards talk too much, that has been an immutable truth throughout history. With your means of escape gone, wouldn’t it be right to kneel before me now?]
