The third main episode, [Devil of Destruction] Has entered.
────────────────
*****
Jibril’s predictions as an astrologer are quite accurate.
It’s not that there are no mistakes, but should I say that the accuracy rate is almost 90% or higher?
Even if the prophecy was wrong with a probability of less than 100%, it did not even mean that there was a big change.
Except for things related to me, it can be said that in most cases, the big picture is a small variable that does not change.
I vaguely knew that it would happen this time too.
Danger of Yeongsan.
In other words, the movement of the devil of Yurin.
It was confidence, not certainty.
The existence of ‘Yurin’ was not mentioned in Jibril’s prophecy, but no matter how much you think about it, he was the only demon capable of targeting Yeongsan at this point.
So I thought he would come visit.
There was certainly a possibility that it might happen after we left Yeongsan, but-.
Kwagwagwagwang!
Now that the Demon King’s Familiar has revealed itself in front of me, it is now confirmed. The demon of Yurin visited Yeongsan.
And the purpose is undoubtedly to kill the Sword Saint.
If what Jihad said was not wrong, it would definitely be so.
Even if there is no reason to expect it.
[Squeak, squeal! Kick!]
The bat that was floating around in the air and avoiding my thunderbolts was, of course, not an ordinary flying animal.
There is no need to say anything at the point when the instrument is being played in the first place.
I don’t know the exact criteria, but I was able to guess. An ordinary demonic summon would not be able to avoid my attacks so perfectly.
It wasn’t something that could be said to be conceited.
That’s true if you just look at the facts.
An instrument of that size clearly belongs to the devil.
“…… After.”
So I stopped swinging the sword at that point. I don’t pursue it any further.
Is that the fault? The bat guy also stopped moving and looked at me…….
‘There is no need to hold it tightly.’
I did not want to repeat the useless war of attrition. Actually, there is no need for that.
The only thing that matters is that I witnessed the devil.
In the first place, protecting the current spiritual mountain is not something I should do alone.
‘…… Still, I want to figure out the purpose if possible.’
However, if there is anything I can do for now, it is for the devil’s purpose. In other words, means.
So, I had to know the ‘means’ prepared to attack Yeongsan and kill Geomseong.
Then it will be much easier to respond.
‘I don’t feel any other presence around.’
The bat, colored with musical instruments, sat on the branch and looked down at me as if my actions were very refreshing, but there was no need to worry about that.
I know that it is an entity that is quite directly connected to the Demon King, but I don’t think I would need to expend my mental power unless it is difficult to catch.
Blame!
I just surrounded myself with lightning and threw myself straight towards the other side.
Look around as much as you can and then return.
For now, that was the best.
[…] … Squeak!]
It was at that moment that the bat reacted again.
It wasn’t a very nice crying sound.
Sweet love!
“…… !”
Musical instruments fly in. I had a hunch and immediately swung my sword.
Kaang!
The first attack that came in.
The source is a bat.
I slowly turned my head and deliberately raised the corners of my mouth towards the beast.
“It’s not that powerful. “Isn’t there anything better?”
[…] … !]
And the bat reacted proudly to my obvious provocation.
It flies towards me with an even redder body.
The speed is faster than expected. However, since I knew that the power was trivial, there was no need to be nervous.
You just have to respond calmly.
Looking at it, compared to the amount of instruments it possesses, the bat’s strength was quite poor, perhaps due to its small body.
As it is an entity directly connected to the devil, I think it focuses on communication rather than combat.
As I said, the demon of Yurin cannot appear directly on this continent. Because that’s not something that’s likely to happen at this point.
At best, I would have sent my subordinates or subordinates instead…….
‘If that’s the case, you can easily block it.’
At least, unless an arch-dong level demon descends in its original form, it will not pose a major threat to Yeongsan.
It was a reasonable decision, and at that point I was able to understand the rules of bats.
“It’s north.”
I muttered while openly laughing, and as if reacting to that, the bat stopped flapping its wings for just a moment.
He’s such an obvious guy to read.
I don’t know much about the Three Kings, but I still don’t know anything about their personalities.
For example, ‘Reverse Heaven’ is insidious, and ‘Strife’ does not hide itself.
And ‘Yurin’, more than anything else, has a child-like personality.
Knowing that was enough.
Quang!
I immediately kicked the ground and changed direction in an instant. The destination is north, as I said before.
Of course, the bat became even more indignant and continued to attack me and chase after me.
‘If there is something, it’s probably out there.’
I easily dodged those attacks and took a quick glance at the mountainside.
I remember that there was enough space over there to do something.
The method of determining the location is actually not that special. I just looked at the bat’s movements in reverse.
I kept talking to the bat with the intention of provoking it.
“I lived because it was easy to read. “Thank you for guiding me through this.”
Now, as if it had reached its limit, the bat’s small body turned red.
To the point where I was worried that it might explode at that point.
As I was moving here and there and running away, the bat especially interfered with my path toward the north.
It seems like he didn’t think anyone would notice.
It was an obvious move no matter who saw it. Anyway, I wasn’t so hard-headed that I couldn’t recognize it.
Anyway, it was something to be thankful for.
Paaat!
I crossed the ridge, cutting down the bushes in front of me.
And immediately the scene beyond is visible.
“Aha.”
Next, I roughly figured out the situation.
In fact, it was so obvious that it was hard not to know.
Kikikik, Kikigik.
Kihihihi… ….
Unpleasant sounds continue to hit my ears. So to speak, it was a gathering place for monsters.
Should we call it the kingdom of monsters rather than the kingdom of animals?
There were hundreds of monsters gathered together, each with their own individuality, without any unified appearance.
With the instrument wrapped around your entire body.
At that point, it can be said that the confirmation is complete.
This seems to be the devil’s tool.
[Keyiik!]
It was then that the bat arrived belatedly. Well, no matter how long it’s been, not only I but also the monsters react quickly to the cries that have become somewhat familiar to me.
Their red eyes were all aimed at me.
“Homi, be scared.”
Inadvertently, my honest feelings came out of my mouth.
Do I have to say that it is such a creepy sight?
Hundreds of eyes, hundreds of pairs of eyes, were capturing me at the same time. I wasn’t scared, but I was a little nervous.
So, I decided to quickly leave the place.
Quarrr!
Thunderbolt strikes. This time, I was a little more sincere and delivered more than 50% of the output in one attack.
It’s not about running away.
It is an attack. In other words, it can be said to be a gift given as a final gift before being quickly fried, saying, ‘Taste it.’
I smiled in satisfaction and pursed my lips.
“Are you ready, ‘PL’?”
[Of course, ‘dan’!]
And the confident voice returned right away.
I swung my sword.
The thunderbolt has been unleashed.
Quwagwagwagwagwagwang!!!
*****
Even if I was caught off guard, it doesn’t mean I wasn’t prepared. That’s because there was a prophecy.
Not only I, but the Sword Saint also listened to Jibril’s words.
So, in fact, preparations for response have been made a long time ago.
I thought I wouldn’t have anything to write about, so I forgot about it for a while, but anyway.
From noble mtl dot com
The appearance of the devil is a problem that was predicted from the beginning.
In a way, minimal preparation is natural.
Tap!
“…… Phew.”
I let out a short breath and stopped walking.
Arrived at the fortress.
“Are you here?”
And the person we encountered at the entrance of the fortress was none other than Sword Saint.
He looked at me and slightly twisted his mouth.
“It’s late. “I told you to come back before it gets dark.”
I was scolded for something that didn’t suit the situation, but I didn’t really care.
I don’t know that this is only half-joking.
Anyway, there was something more important to say now.
I took another breath and carefully separated my lips.
“…… Why, isn’t there a large valley a little to the north? “There are a lot of sharply cut rocks.”
“I think I know where you’re talking about. Why there?”
The swordsman answered calmly as he adjusted his sword, and I immediately continued with my next words.
“There were monsters gathered. I’d guess a few hundred? “I thought it would be a bit dangerous if we came together.”
And at those words, the Sword Saint also paused for a moment and looked back at me.
Of course, there was no particular tension on his face.
“Monsters are the ones we often see in our spiritual mountain. However, from what you say, it doesn’t seem like they were influenced by Sangun.”
“No, that’s natural.”
I laughed and added a word to Geomseong’s words.
“As expected, it is the devil.”
“…… Hmm.”
Of course, when I mentioned the Demon King, the Sword Saint’s expression became even a little more serious. Not to mention the disciples around him.
Still, should I say that I am glad that there is no sign of major turmoil, right?
“…… Well, speaking of a swarm of monsters, it is still a standard attack. “It was well within the expected range.”
“The number of horses is also reasonable. “Even though each object was unusual.”
“There is no need for you to worry about such things.”
At that point, Geomseong took a step forward.
Then he taps my shoulder.
“It’s okay because I came back unscathed. “Just stay inside.”
“…… Are you going to leave me alone?”
“Why are you following along too?”
Geomseong immediately asked back at my very disappointed response.
And I also quickly lowered my head.
“Have a nice trip. “I wish you good luck.”
“I knew you would be like that.”
Geomseong snorted and turned around.
And one last word.
“…… Just in case, please take a look inside the fortress. “He may have left behind some disciples, but you never know.”
Of course, as always, I am worried about my granddaughter.
I smiled and nodded.
“You can leave it to me. “It’s unlikely that this place will become dangerous.”
“That’s right. “I am stepping in to prevent such unfortunate incidents.”
The swordsman also lowered his head, and our conversation ended like that.
The instrument was revealed, and the existence of the devil was confirmed.
Considering the situation, it is quite an emergency situation.
In most cases, the sword master and his disciples can solve the problem, but…….
‘…… If the matter becomes bigger, then we will have to step in as well.’
When the devil’s threat is just around the corner, students can’t just stay still, right?
I don’t know, but I won’t let you go easy.
This side’s military power was quite good, even excluding the people in Yeongsan.
Above all, when the Sword Saint goes out, it is Lucius who guards the fortress.
Unless something unexpected happens, there won’t be any major problems.
‘Even if a problem arises, it can be prevented.’
I calmed my expression and entered the castle.
Isn’t preparation more perfect now than ever?
The Sword Saint and his disciples number only a few dozen and are no less than the greatest knightly order on this continent, and the fortress is surrounded by a barrier that prevents the intrusion of fog and monsters.
In the end, the problem is solved as long as the hordes of monsters are dealt with.
‘First of all, of course… ….’
Maybe things aren’t that simple, but for now, I have no choice but to make dealing with the hordes of monsters my top priority.
And my role is to protect the inside, not the outside.
So, well.
‘I’ll leave that to you, old man.’
From now on, all you have to do is trust the Sword Saint and wait.
*****
“It is truly a dark instrument.”
Reinhardt pulled out his new sword.
And immediately creates an aura.
Wow!
A dark-colored aura dwelled in the blade and began to create intense flames.
“I heard from Jibril, so I knew to some extent that things would turn out like this, but… ….”
Just then, a monster comes into the corner of my vision. The distance was far, but it was enough for Reinhardt to see it with his own eyes.
“I really didn’t think it would come. “I can’t believe this is such a simple invasion of the land I live in.”
Reinhardt lowered his sword.
Whoa!!!
That single sword strike immediately creates a large gust of wind.
The advancing sword energy reached the monster in the distance.
Suddenly!
A fleeting cutting sound. The monster’s body collapsed.
It was around that time that Reinhardt opened his mouth again.
“Seocheon.”
What I am calling you is my student’s name.
“Yes, Master.”
Seocheon immediately came to the side and lowered his head, and Reinhardt calmly continued his words.
“How is everyone okay?”
There was no subject in the question, but Seocheon was able to understand well what he wanted to say.
That’s why I nod my head with a smile full of confidence.
“You mean this? Every person is in perfect condition. “We can respond at any time.”
“Then that’s it.”
Hearing Seocheon’s words, Reinhardt also smiled softly.
However, that smile did not only have a good meaning.
It was a complex emotion in many ways, but if I had to say it, it was anger.
An extremely vivid anger towards the dirty things that dared to set foot on his mountain.
Now, Reinhardt turned around, hearing the cries of monsters starting to come from afar.
None other than his disciples were standing behind him.
“I guess I looked down on you.”
Those were the first words Reinhardt spoke out of his mouth.
There was still a smile on his face.
“Don’t you think so? After all, isn’t this our mountain?”
The disciples did not respond, but their eyes were all focused on Reinhardt.
Furthermore, there is no hesitation in the fighting spirit in those eyes.
Reinhardt shook his head as if satisfied with the appearance of his students.
“What’s more, now that the young guys from the academy have come to visit us. “It would be impossible to show a bad side in a situation like that.”
By that time, the cries and presence of the monsters were getting quite close.
Reinhardt held the sword, and his students were no different.
Cold metallic sounds echo here and there. I pull out my sword and dye the blade with aura.
Among the prosecutors gathered here, the one who has been sentenced has exceeded ten.
In fact, it was no different from all of Yeongsan’s power gathered in one place.
“Let’s go.”
Reinhardt stood in front, and his disciples followed behind him.
“Please let me know. “What land did they dare to trample on, and what was the price?”
His eyes once again sank into a deep silence. Moreover, the sword was stained with the perfect light.
The sword of Auror, shining in dozens of colors, begins to drive out the darkness in the mountains.
Cow!
Reinhardt took a step forward and then spoke.
“The target is the swarm of monsters in front of you. Exterminate every single one, without leaving a single one behind. “If you have a musical instrument, get rid of it, even if it is a rat.”
That was the signal.
It was a signal to announce the start of the battle.
[Kyaaagh!]
[Kieek! Cheek!]
A swarm of monsters rushed over the ridge and past the trees, and swords cut through the air to deal with them.
It is now midnight with a round moon rising.
It was the moment when the conflict between the demon of Yurin and Yeongsan began.
