117 – Mask of each poem
As we live in the world, we are bound to experience countless ridiculous things. The lover I loved was my younger brother who broke up with me when I was young, the teacher I respect is my parents’ dead enemy, or the lunch I ate thinking it was sweet and sour pork was fried fish.
A heart as cold as a glacier is the privilege of those who have been through the storms of time.
Dam doesn’t blink an eye at most things.
It is a required virtue to become an Indian-class priest. Jaden Phoenix was recognized by the high priests of the church as a man of such virtues. He was more confident than anyone else when it came to being calm.
Until today comes.
“Why don’t you pray a little more to that proud god? Our demons accept our prayers well. Isn’t that your god?”
‘Cruel Heart’ Aaron Crawford seemed stronger than a decade ago.
Of course.
While he grew up sharpening vengeful blades at him, he wasn’t playing with his hands behind his back either.
Those who worship evil spirits are madmen united by an abnormal obsession with power. It was difficult even for Jaden Phoenix to predict how much he would have grown over the course of ten years.
Jaden Phoenix was devastated when he saw Aaron Crawford taking down Team 7 as easily as taking something out of his pocket. I thought it would be impossible to escape this crisis no matter how warmly the mercy of the Lord shined.
By the way.
“Kiki! It was your colleague! That kind of pervert is a member of the church! It seems that you are quite corrupted too! How about joining us now?”
A figure in purple underwear suddenly appeared in the black magic circle.
The man, hiding his face with a mask, perhaps aware that he was embarrassed, drew a sword from his waistband and aimed it at Aaron Crawford.
Looking at the exterior, it’s obvious that Angra Mainyu’s minion.
The level of reliability felt in the outfit is at a minus level beyond zero.
Maybe that’s why the sword he’s holding looks like a toy sword.
This whole scene was like a play by an unpopular playwright. If he had paid money to watch a play like this, he would have thrown rotten eggs and tomatoes.
“Captain! Dude, what the hell is that?”
Ben Franch has doubts. He was always the first to bring out the thoughts of Team 7. Nathaniel Knight, Nicholas Cooley, and Marcus Garner all waited for Jaden Phoenix’s answer with the same thoughts.
But their leader shook his head. He himself knew nothing about the author.
Of course, the church’s reinforcements are not. In the first place, the church might not even know they were here. Because he violated the probation order and left the activity.
“Oh my God. Is this good luck or bad luck….”
Marcus Garner murmured as if reciting a chant. True to his nickname of “Serious thinking,” Garner always served as the team’s brain with cool-headed analytical skills. But he was not confident that even he would explain this situation clearly.
I couldn’t figure out whether the author’s identity was an angel given by the Lord or an actor of Angra Mainyu to fool them.
“Ha? Are you aiming a knife at me? Except for the idiots of the Church of the Sun, there is no one who does such a big thing.”
Aaron Crawford seemed to enjoy the situation.
It can’t be fun. It was a good opportunity to annihilate a team of special priests of the Church of the Sun, who were a thorn in the eye. Even that opponent is the rat that I missed 10 years ago.
It was famous that the rat grew up and interfered with the work of the church at every turn. When they tried to catch me, I didn’t know that such a good opportunity would come. As expected, the grace of Angra Mainyu has never betrayed itself.
“Do you have any will?”
These were the words of the masked man. Aaron Crawford burst into laughter and clapped his hands as if it couldn’t get any more fun.
“Puhahahahaha~! You are a real thing! Ha ha ha ha ha! Have you ever wondered why your brain is crazy because you’re obsessed with heroic novels? By any chance, have you ever charged against a windmill!?”
“Mmm. What a strange advice. Is that all?”
Obviously we exchange words, but the angles of the conversation don’t match. Aaron Crawford clapped his hands in pairs.
“It’s fun, but I’m too busy dealing with clowns right now.”
His eyes glowed red. His mana continued to develop.
“Watch out!”
From noble mtl dot com
A warning sounds like Jaden Phoenix’s deathbed. At the same time, an explosion of ‘bang!’ Hits the space where the masked man was.
Heart breaking.
Aaron Crawford’s main skill and special move. The effect is a very simple explosion.
However, this simple explosion unfolds with a speed and destructive power that are by no means simple.
Aaron Crawford has no hesitation in using a technique that, if properly caught up in, can lead to death without being able to properly salvage a piece of a corpse. It’s as if there is no mana or cooldown.
This skill, which is called a scam, was a great power he obtained while taking refuge in the demon of destruction, Tarich.
Aaron Crawford slaughtered over 10,000 humans with this power. More than half of them were just bored. His actions brought him the epithet ‘cruel heart’.
“Party! Match! Match! Match! The clown is out! Applause everyone!”
Pair! Match! Match! Match!
Aaron Crawford claps with artificial gestures like a comedian on stage.
The explosion that appears with it.
Jaden Phoenix and his friends watched the scene and bit their lips. First of all, looking at the situation, it seems that perverts were not enemies.
I don’t know how they got caught up in this, but they were allies who wanted to overthrow Aaron Crawford together. The innocent death of the ally aroused the wrath of the Special Priest’s party.
“You bastard! The light of the Lord will surely punish you!”
Ben Franch said, raising his mace.
Despair takes away everything, but hope brings one strand of the future. The death of an unknown martyr restored Ben French’s will to fight.
“Ha ha ha! I’ve been living for decades, and I’m dying to know when the divine punishment will come. There, even when I killed all of Phoenix’s seniors, they cursed me like that, but I’m still alive like this~”
Teasing the members of the Sun Church is so much fun.
Aaron Crawford wondered how to make this fun last longer. Because there is plenty of time anyway.
“You want to know when the new punishment will come?”
“!?”
I heard an inaudible voice. It is the masked man’s voice.
The place where the voice was heard is the place where the explosion occurred.
The smoky detonation disappeared and the figure in a s*xually perverted costume with a solid body reappeared.
Aaron Crawford narrowed his eyes and looked at the space where the explosion had occurred. The man who should have disappeared with his heart exploding and flying corpse pieces was standing still.
“How!?”
It was the Church of the Sun who raised their voice.
They knew the power of Aaron Crawford. If hit head-on, it’s a tremendous skill that only Jaden Phoenix can’t survive.
By the way, that man survived the direct blow. It’s in such good shape too.
“Whoa. You are not normal.”
Aaron Crawford’s eyes half open.
He judged. Those masked men are special reinforcements prepared by the church.
They’re putting on a play like that is just a ploy to confuse themselves.
It was a reasonable decision. Unless you are a member of the church, you cannot remain calm even if you are attacked head-on. No, even if he’s a member of the church, that’s a bit strange.
‘Is this work specially prepared by the church?’
Then this is rather an opportunity for you. A golden opportunity to defeat the work of the church.
If you brutally violate their hard-prepared work, their faith will be broken.
Fallen church members were Angra Mainyu’s favorite riches.
“There was a Bibil Hill.
Aaron Crawford smiled and deployed his next skill. If the heart blast doesn’t work, another-
Suddenly!
The masked man’s sword cut through the air.
A smooth, continuous sword strike penetrates the space of darkness and ‘connects’ to Aaron Crawford’s body. Suddenly, he felt a burning pain in his shoulder and at the same time his red blood surged into the air.
“!?”
Impossible.
It wasn’t even remotely blowing mana. As if the space that existed between him and the masked man disappeared for an instant, he cut off his shoulder with a single light sword strike.
“Quaaagh!”
His shoulder fell off. The right shoulder bounced in the air, spattering a huge amount of blood.
The arm hanging from the shoulder drooped like the parts of a broken toy, creating a scrawny branch.
Aaron Crawford felt his mind wander and tried to catch his falling shoulder with his other arm.
However.
“Do you want to take it?”
Sad-!
The masked man’s knife continues once more.
Aaron Crawford’s arm, which fell off with just one knife cut, was cut into dozens and hundreds of pieces as if it had been sifted through his sieve.
Slices of body falling into pieces of minced meat.
The masked man points at it with the blade and opens his mouth.
“If you want to take it, take it.”
“Crazy!”
Jaden Phoenix, watching his movements, was shocked.
He looked.
The masked man’s knife that seemed like just one shot was, in fact, an innumerable series of 0.1 Second splitting dozens of hundreds of times.
I could only guess how many times the blade was swung because I couldn’t follow it properly even with my own body vision.
How much agility do you have to be able to make movements like that?
How deep do you have to achieve swordsmanship to be able to show off a sword like that?
As a special priest, as a heretic judge, a stage that even he, who had polished his sword for a long time, could not comprehend was unfolding before his eyes.
“aaagh! You son of a b*tch! My arm!?”
Aaron Crawford’s skill required a preliminary movement of clapping his hands. Losing his arm, he’s a half wizard.
Aaron Crawford was incredible. Could it be that the man saw through to that fact and delivered such a fatal blow?
No one among the special priests of the Church of the Sun found out about it. It was to hide such a secret that he always treated the priests in a contrived and ridiculous manner.
And that strategy worked. The enemy who fought hard enough to find out Aaron Crawford’s skill trigger did not survive his grasp. It was a kind of gossip.
By the way, that man.
“Jeok-Ak-Yeoang.”
How did you know that….
“The penalty for sin is slow, but it always comes.”
You have to tell the church about this….
“I will punish you for your misdeeds.”
Flash!
The masked man’s sword shone.
It was the most beautiful swordsman Aaron Crawford had ever seen in his life. Aaron Crawford was overwhelmed by the swordsmanship that felt ecstasy just by looking at it.
“Absolute defense!”
The last thing he believes in is the strongest defense characteristic with a returned cooldown, 「Absolute Defense」
However, the opponent was not too good.
