0.01 Second Sword Master Episode 155
“Lungs, Your Majesty! Your majesty!!”
“No. What the hell is this…!”
The knights were taken aback by the sudden incident, and the people who watched the scene were also confused.
“It must have been the pope’s voice just now.”
“I have listened carefully. That the Church ask for Your Majesty’s help. But to take His Majesty with you like this? What kind of plan is that?!”
“Still, Lady Flame and Lady Ritalion went in together.”
“That’s fortunate, but… It is an undeniable fact that the Pope only aimed at His Majesty and took him away. Where is Prince Raphael? We must hunt down this magic!”
Raphael jumped at Horace’s voice that took her breath away, but she immediately shook her head.
“Sorry. I can’t dare to catch up with the Pope’s holy power with magic.”
“Well, then what should I do?”
“Shouldn’t we give chase? The place where the pope is would be a temple. Among the kingdoms belonging to the Berak Empire, the closest to the temple is the Omer Kingdom. The portal has been set up over there, so why don’t you hurry up and send the soldiers?”
Horace didn’t have to think long.
“This is an unprecedented situation in the Empire where His Majesty disappears! Therefore, from now on, I will ask everyone’s opinion. Can I, Horace, take over the overall command?”
Then everyone nodded.
Because Horeth is Aslan’s closest friend and the one most loyal to him.
“In times of crisis like this, it is only right that Lord Horace is in command.”
Aaron, the commander of the Grand Division, stood by Hores’ side, and he had nothing more to do with it.
“Then send the entire army to Omer Kingdom right now! I will use that portal to go to the temple!”
“Yes!”
After giving that order, Horeth looked at the spot where Aslan had disappeared.
Please be safe.
Of course, the opponent is Aslan.
Even if the sky and the earth collapsed, Horeth had a strong conviction that Aslan would survive. Moreover, a red dragon and a gold dragon came along with him.
There is probably no other combination on earth as terrifying as those three.
I don’t know what the Pope took Aslan for, but if he meant to be crap, he’d be deeply regretful by now.
* * *
“Hey, what is this? Didn’t I tell you to only summon Aslan?”
“I’m sure I did too…”
My head hurt from the sudden move, but I looked straight ahead without raising an eyebrow.
Flashes of light blinded my retinas, but I never closed my eyes.
Thanks to this stupid bravado, I couldn’t see very well.
“Aslan… Those cheeky eyes are still there.”
Who is it?
Where have you heard your voice?
At that time, Flame, who grabbed me as I was being sucked in and was dragged along with me, growled and said,
“What is this. Were you the ones who called us?”
I belatedly regained my sight and was able to examine my surroundings.
As expected, this is a temple.
It is only natural that the Pope summoned me to the call of the light.
However, there was an unexpected guest.
‘Michael?’
Wasn’t he the one who treated me badly the other day and hit me in the pants?
Along with Michael, the other angels were also gathered in one place.
“Why are the Celestials here? Those who didn’t even pay attention to the human world.”
Michael looked at the red and gold dragons and said.
“You two will fall. This is where we gathered to condemn Aslan.”
“I’m sorry, but that won’t work.”
“Are you saying that you will stand on the side of humans now?”
“I don’t know if it’s on the human side. You know for sure that I am on Aslan’s side.”
Tears of emotion seemed to flow at Flame’s words.
Okay. Even if this guy seems a bit lacking in what he usually does, he has a sense of loyalty.
If he returns safely to the castle, he’ll let you eat only delicious things for the rest of your life.
“But what crime are you trying to accuse? He must have committed many sins.”
It seemed as if the tsunami of emotion suddenly cooled in retrograde motion.
“You know that too. Aslan raised the dead with powerful demonic powers, and furthermore, made you, the red dragon, run wild. In addition, that power also created beings who should not have opened their eyes.”
Michael’s eyes met the gold dragon.
“You, the gold dragon, must have felt it too, right? That the dragon of chaos has awakened.”
“······Okay.”
“That is Aslan’s sin. He brought devastating chaos to the world with his demonic powers. Are you still defending Aslan?”
This… Looks a bit dangerous.
Saying that makes me sound like a real killer.
But-
“You are cheeky.”
Before the dragons judge anything, before they trap me further,
My bravado first boiled from the bottom of my feet and encroached on my tongue.
“Who dares to condemn whom?”
“What?”
“Nothing on this continent can judge Jim. I am the only one who condemns and judges Jim.”
Then Michael frowned and shouted.
“That is a statement that despises Rahal’s omnipotence and his authority! Now you are accumulating your sins with blasphemy.”
“Then bring Rahal here and see. I will judge whether he really has the power to judge me.”
“What, what?!”
Michael, the angels, and the priests of the temple all pointed at me and yelled at me. However, no one was able to summon Rahal.
“Why are you so hesitant? Aren’t you Rahal’s aides? Still can’t call Rahal at this important moment?”
“…”
Michael made no reply.
“Or perhaps you, the people of the celestial world, already know. That Rahal disappeared long ago.”
“!?”
Everyone in the temple opened their eyes in surprise.
Because I told them openly what they also vaguely felt.
Now their eyes were fixed on Michael.
“He is… He is watching all of you.”
“Then prove it. Call Rahal here and dare to judge me.”
“Shut up! Trying to call on the Almighty for something like this. Be impertinent!”
“It means you can’t do it after all.”
I laughed as if I was pathetic.
“Those who serve a false god talk about condemnation. How foolish you are.”
“This guy!!”
Michael eventually jumped up from his seat.
“There is no need to speak any longer. Aslan brought chaos to this continent with the power of demons, and dared to disgrace Rahal’s name. Therefore, passing the judgment of light on him is justice!”
“It is the judgment of light in the yard where there is no Rahal called the source of light… Do you do whatever you want without asking the will of the master you serve? Isn’t that a rebellion?”
The more Michael yelled, the more intensely my bravado burned.
“If you were born as Rahal’s slave, you will live that way for the rest of your life. Why do you want to be the master of a slave?”
“This guy is all the way!”
“Since Rahal’s aides have rotted away like this, he couldn’t stand it and disappeared.”
“This guy-!!”
Michael eventually reached out and sent a light to me.
Kwaaang-!!
But the light never reached me.
It was because the flame took that power instead and struck it off.
“Okay. After all, is that what you called us for?”
The red power of the flame gushed out and seemed to be slowly returning to its majestic dragon form. And the gold dragon next to him also seemed to be trying to join forces with Flame.
However,
“You seem to have forgotten where this place is.”
Michael and his priests were not intimidated at all.
There are as many as two dragons here.
“This is a temple. And don’t you know why a temple was built here? This is a place where the power of light is stronger than anywhere else on the continent. In this place, no matter how many of you are dragons, you cannot run wild.”
With those words, Michael stretched out his hand, and chains of light were tied to Flame and Ritalion’s bodies.
As the angels and priests chanted beside it, a magic circle engraved under the cage popped out and bound the three of us on the spot.
“What, what is it? You’re powerless.”
“This. Is that why you called us here?”
Forgot for a while
This is a temple.
It is also a place with the strongest light power on the continent.
According to what is known, Rahal became a wolf by giving this place the grace of light, but that is not the case. The reason why this place has such strong divine power is because of something buried at the bottom of it.
‘The Celestials are the strongest here.’
Since the power of light is the strongest, of course the power of the celestials has no choice but to go up as well.
On the other hand, it was like rat poison for dragons who were closer to the power of darkness than light.
“How are you, Aslan? Now I will judge you here and crush that arrogant face.”
It was definitely a big deal.
To fall into this trap
The Flame and Gold Dragon struggled to break the shackles, but to no avail.
What if I use an instant superpower?
From noble mtl dot com
Then the seal could be released for a while, but in the end, the same situation would just repeat itself.
As long as it does not destroy the light that is the source of this land.
‘For a moment. The origin of this land?’
Then, a thought flashed through my mind like lightning.
And before I could organize my thoughts, my bravado burned even hotter with the dignity of the emperor on my back.
“I feel sorry for you who believe that you can judge burdens with only this.”
“Don’t be pretentious. You can’t do anything there.”
“Okay. So you are still that shape, that shape.”
“What?!”
I scratched Michael’s nerves and raised his hand forward.
Then, the fire of the fallen spirit rose up on my palm.
It was to the extent that the circle of light that was blocking me around me was burned by that evil power.
“Look at that! If that is not demonic power, what is it!”
Right. It would look like demonic power now.
Because the power of my dark attribute resides here.
But,
“Can you be sure that this is really a dark force?”
When I gave this place the power of the light attribute, it no longer burned black and began to glow as if blinded.
“No?!”
“Oh, how intense the light is!”
“This······. The power of light?”
The priests as well as the angels began to be shaken when they saw the strong light.
Michael shouted to stop their agitation.
“He’s cheating. Those who handle the power of darkness can never handle the light! Trying to trick us with tricks. No way!”
“Then Jim will show you personally. What miracles the power of this light in the palm of my hand can create.”
“What······?”
Michael was looking at me with anxious eyes.
“Have you ever thought about why this place is full of divine power and what makes it emit such strong light? Do you really think that you became a wolf by the grace of Rahal?”
“What, what are you talking about?”
“I will show you. Why did this place become a sacred land? And how great is Jim’s strength.”
I dropped the intensely burning fire of the ghost onto the floor of the temple.
Then, as it spread with momentary strength, it touched something at the bottom of the temple.
“What are you trying to do…”
It took a while for Michael to speak.
Koo Goo Goo-!!
The entire temple shook and I felt something powerfully rising upward.
“What is this!”
“aaa-!”
“Mi, intense power from below…!”
Angels and priests alike lost their balance and fell, feeling the power rising from below.
Yet,
Kwaaang-!!
A huge dragon pierced through the floor and soared high.
As it spread its wings, a light so intense that it was impossible to open its eyes spread everywhere.
“That, that’s…!”
Michael saw the presence and he exclaimed in disbelief.
“Heavenly Dragon?!”
One of the ancient dragons, a celestial dragon known as the Guardian of Light.
It opened my eyes again to my necromancy.
