Chapter 8. Arrogant Bastard (3)
BOOOOM!
Osiris was sent flying through the air.
His extravagant ornaments tore apart and scattered.
Jooheon turned.
“Next.”
His eyes landed on Set.
“You dared bare your teeth at your owner.”
His lips curled.
“Guilty.”
Jooheon raised one hand.
The air itself seemed to bend.
Set didn't even have time to react.
He was smashed into the ground.
Then Jooheon looked at Anubis.
“And you agreed to this stupid plan.”
He clenched his fist.
“Guilty, bastard.”
The authority of a god of death meant nothing.
Jooheon punched Anubis's masked face.
The golden mask shattered.
The divine figure scattered.
But they were Divine-Grade Artifacts.
Their bodies immediately began restoring themselves.
[That won't work against gods♥]
“...!”
Jooheon immediately realized something.
[Divine execution cannot be stopped♥]
[Now then, let us resume your execution—]
Jooheon raised the Majesty Ring and called out to the Three-Legged Crow.
“Crow! Bring out the Artifact we found yesterday!”
The Crow's shadow wings spread.
Space tore open.
Something emerged from the deep black gap.
A massive wolf fang.
But it wasn't simply bone.
The moment it landed in Jooheon's hand, it transformed into a sharp knife designed to cut a god's throat.
[Isis's Poison Fang
(SS-Grade / Divine Grade / Consumable Artifact) (10/10)]
Just as Isis had stolen the True Name of the sun god Ra and taken his power...
This Artifact stole the names of gods and robbed them of their authority.
Jooheon hadn't expected he'd actually need to use it this soon.
The fang capable of cutting out True Names roared.
The first target...
Set.
God of storms.
Jooheon swung the fang.
Space tore apart.
Black symbols were carved onto Set's body.
“What... What is this?!”
His True Name forcibly appeared in Egyptian hieroglyphs.
Setekh
[The Chaotic One]
Jooheon slashed the name floating in the air.
CRACK!
Set's entire body shook.
His arm began melting.
His authority was severed.
The storm faded.
“Your name no longer possesses power here.”
Next...
Osiris.
Asar
[King of the Dead]
Osiris tried to escape.
The Poison Fang flashed again.
“True Name.”
Jooheon's eyes turned cold.
“Sealed.”
Osiris's trembling shadow twisted.
He threw his head back and tried to scream.
More precisely...
He wanted to scream.
But even his voice had been sealed.
His mouth disappeared.
The light in his eyes faded.
His body dried and blackened.
“A god is ultimately nothing more than an illusion clinging to a name.”
Last came Anubis.
Judge of the Dead.
“You already know, don't you?”
Jooheon approached him.
“You're going to tell me your name too.”
Anubis's pupils twisted.
He tried to resist.
The fang pierced him.
His voice was forcibly dragged out.
...Inpu
[Lord of the Tomb]
The True Name appeared in the air.
Then it split apart.
Anubis's body shattered.
His authority over death scattered into the air.
Crackle!
Three gods...
Destroyed by a single Artifact.
Jooheon caught his breath and looked down at the fang.
[Isis's Poison Fang
(SS-Grade / Divine Grade / Consumable Artifact) (7/10)]
Its lifespan decreased each time it cut away a True Name.
“You bastards become weaker the moment your names are spoken.”
Jooheon walked past the places where the three gods had vanished.
“The moment I know your name...”
His eyes sharpened.
“You're already finished.”
Then finally...
Jooheon's vicious gaze landed on Yoo Jaeha beside him.
