Accidentally Becoming a Great Prophet?!

Chapter 68 - Something Ominous



Among the 10 EX-rank transcendents that existed before two more EX-ranks were added due to the appearance of cult leader Icardi Marduk and the awakening of Independent Demon Wi Ji-young:

Cheonjae , Three Great Witches, Cheonmang, Jiryong, Nokrim, Fisherman. NO. 1, Daekhan.

Among them, there are those who are uniquely grouped under one theme. They are the Three Great Witches, grouped under the same category of witches.

Called the Witch Queen, the Witch of Ill Omen, and the Witch of Music respectively, they each possess transcendent levels of strength befitting those called transcendents, and among them, the strength of the Witch of Ill Omen and the Witch of Music is said to be particularly dangerous and amazing.

And if asked who is the most famous among them, one would pick the Witch of Music.

The reason is simple. She is the only one who has achieved victory against another unique EX-rank transcendent among the same EX-ranks.

She is the monster among monsters who burst and halved the body of Cheonjae, who had become a natural disaster itself, and plucked all the golden scales of Jiryong, who had killed a dragon and taken its heart to become a dragon himself.

Among the 12 EX-rank transcendents that currently exist, she is one of the three called the strongest. That is the Witch of Music.

If you just look at her alias, it might be hard to think so… but anyone who has seen her in person would not be able to say such words.

She was truly a being that the words “living disaster” suited too well.

[The Person NeXt To Me Is wHo WL I don’t know, What’s the MattER¿”

“Ugh…?! W-what is this!?”

[Urgh…!! T-this… Why on earth is the Witch of Music here…!!]

As if hundreds of voices and dozens of languages were mixed into a single word, it made their heads buzz as if broken.

A monster that makes even a superhuman’s mind ring with just a simple word.

From the moment she was born, she perceived everything in the world as interesting music, and she is a being who writes and plays music that goes beyond simply good or masterpiece, music that even stars and superhumans dare not handle.

Every place in the world is her stage, and she is a transcendent who manipulates the world at will just by playing.

That’s why she’s the Witch of Music, and that’s why she’s Dissonance.

Aria Musica Elacia Märchen.

An EX-rank superhuman commonly called the Aria of Dissonance.

Why is such a monster, who is said to not like coming out to the world usually and stays cooped up somewhere, here?

The fanatic beyond the mirror wondered, even as his head felt like it was about to split.

Of course, the witch walking from afar wouldn’t know the thoughts of the fanatic beyond the mirror.

The walking witch suddenly tapped her neck with her finger as if she had forgotten something.

“Ah, I forgot. Just being here doesn’t communicate well, does it?”

Unlike before, she spoke quite normally, then gently closed her eyes and softly played the violin.

Zing-! Woong!! Woong! Woo. Kiing!!

A performance that one might feel in their heart as having a somewhat bright and refreshing tone continued softly.

Crack!!!! Slash-!!!!

The plants twisted as if they couldn’t bear it and turned to dust, and the earth cracked into pieces in succession as if it couldn’t handle it.

As such music flowed out, the two superhumans facing it weren’t unaffected either.

“Ugh, aaaagh…!!!”

[Kieeeee-!!!]

It felt like every tissue constituting their bodies was trying to twist in different directions.

It wasn’t something that could be blocked by covering their ears or blowing out their eardrums.

Her music wasn’t something that could be heard simply through hearing.

Sight hears, touch hears, smell hears, and taste savors.

The mind appreciates, and further, even the soul cannot help but hear as long as it’s within range.

The fanatic beyond the mirror wanted to cut off the mirror’s connection and escape, but the control of that mirror had already left his hands.

Once heard, unless the Witch of Music gives permission, one can never escape.

And this pain came even more strongly to Marduk.

“Ugh, ugh, ughhh…!!! Aaaagh-!!!!”

As much as he had gained power through the sacrifice of others, his inner self was in a state where numerous souls that had become his power were combined, so the moment they heard that performance, all those souls broke free from Marduk’s control and were being torn apart in terrible pain, so Marduk was slowly feeling an unimaginable pain as if he was being slowly split apart from the very source inside him.

And soon, Aria, the Witch of Music, who had slowly walked over as if enjoying it, smiled brightly and looked down at Marduk, who was crawling on the floor like an insect in pain.

Kiing! Iik. Kiii! Kiit.

Even the fanatic who had been suffering beyond the mirror was forcibly twisted out of the mirror.

“Ugh, urk… ugh… W-Witch of Music… why are you here…?!”

Kigik!!

“Quiet. I don’t recall giving you permission to open your mouth?”

Urrrp?!

“…!!!”

Aria smiled softly, lightly played her violin, and gave a sign to be quiet, and the fanatic’s mouth completely sealed shut, unable to say a single word without her permission, and Aria, withdrawing her gaze, looked at Marduk.

“So you’re the famous 11th EX-rank, cult leader Icardi Marduk?”

“Keurgh… You, what kind of monster are you…!!”

“Hmm… They said half-transcendent, but even that was generous? You know what? You’re the ugliest among the EX-ranks I’ve seen. Not a single thing properly achieved with your own power, and you don’t even properly take responsibility for those who follow you. Isn’t it interesting? An item that can make someone like you barely qualify as an EX-rank…”

After briefly scanning Marduk, she soon pulled out some artifact from his bosom.

“Ah, no…! That’s not something a bitch like you can dare to touch…!!”

Diring!

The violin she had been holding suddenly collapsed, and a lyre appeared in her arms.

And she lightly plucked that lyre and hummed lightly as if a minstrel reciting.

Saa…

With just that, the item that had made Marduk an EX-rank turned to powder and scattered.

“Ah, aah…”

“Do you know something, cult leader? I actually hold some gratitude towards you~. Thanks to you, I discovered someone I could call my only potential understanding person.”

“Urgh…”

It seemed as if the cult leader’s mind was gradually collapsing, but she didn’t particularly care.

It was enough for her to say what she wanted to say, and even if his mind collapsed and tried to escape, there was no way to escape from her music.

“But what can I do? I don’t like you, and besides… you’ve been rude to the person who might be unique to me?”

Suddenly Marduk’s gaze turned upward, and he froze as he met Aria’s eyes.

Her eyes, engraved with concentric circles that seemed to suck one in, curved like crescent moons with a smile, were too eerie.

“You can look forward to it. Thanks to you not reaching that realm with your own power, there are countless souls piled up inside you. Do you understand what I mean? It means you and I have good compatibility. That means I can give you even greater pain.”

Cult leader Icardi Marduk trembled in fear for the second time since reaching EX-rank.

“Even if you cover your ears, even if you die, you can’t escape before my music ends? Well then – listen well?”

She smiled brightly and then beautifully plucked the lyre in her hand, opened her mouth, and unraveled a melody.

A strange and bizarre melody that no one could understand.

And after about ten minutes, when her music finally stopped playing, cult leader Marduk, who had spent those ten minutes like an eon, was finally allowed to die.

It was truly a futile end for the half-transcendent EX-rank superhuman who had appeared flashily and exited miserably.

Leaving only his head distorted by indescribable pain.

“Ah, I should keep this. He might like it if I give it to him?”

Her gaze, which had been drawing elegant movements with flushed cheeks, soon turned to the fanatic who was still suffering, unable to die even as his internal organs were torn to shreds and he was vomiting blood and organ pieces.

“Ah, urgh… K-kill… me…”

“You’re one of those who were plotting bad plans in the land where he lives, right? But don’t worry too much. If you spill everything… I’ll let you die?”

And after a few more minutes passed, leaving behind the fanatic who had met his death, Aria danced lightly and elegantly, hopping in a good mood amidst that miserable scene, and laughed.

“He’s in Korea, hmm~ If I do well, I might be able to appear really beautifully?”

It was a movement like a girl falling in love for the first time, unbecoming of her terrifying reputation. Of course, she was a bit old to be called a girl falling in love for the first time.

“Ahah! I wonder if he’ll fall in love at first sight~? I hope so!”

Anyway, the EX-rank transcendent, Witch of Music, Aria of Dissonance began to move towards Dam Han-ul!

Achoo!!

“Gulp! Suddenly a chill… Is someone cursing me?”

And Dam Han-ul sneezed, feeling a strange uneasiness at that terrifying fact.

“Whew! I should take a warm shower today…”

Although he’s trying hard to think it’s nothing… will he be able to do so in the not-too-distant future?
