I can’t help but smile with satisfaction at the messages pouring in.
But the most surprising of them all is Calling the Soul II.
‘Is it finally possible to summon the spirits of our ancestors from anywhere?’
Now we can be proud that we have become quite strong, but it is obvious that we are still lacking a lot.
Sir and Uncle Cohen, who are next to him right now, are strong players who cannot be easily defeated.
No, if I hadn’t grown further in the fight against the devil, I wouldn’t have even thought about winning.
Ren slowly went to the king. After being taken out of the coffin, Maurice is breathing softly and closing his eyes.
“My pulse is beating, but I’m in danger.”
“You need treatment quickly.”
Cohen carefully picked up the king.
“What happened to the other Black Star powers?”
“I don’t know the situation at the entrance, but the black knight Scarlett was dealing with is definitely dead. “The guy I was dealing with ran away when he saw the situation.”
“The black knight I was dealing with also died.”
“There’s Layton, Carly, and Devon out there too, so it’ll be okay. “Maybe they didn’t feel that the devil was gone?”
“you’re right. “First of all, let’s get out quickly.”
widely.
At that time, Scarlett takes a step forward and glares at Ren.
The three people who noticed her serious mood hardened their expressions and looked at her.
“What is that?”
She asked the question she had been suppressing. They turned their heads to follow his gaze.
Remnants of electric current everywhere. The wildfires that have spread here and there are slowly dying out.
From the moment Scarlett first entered the underground cavity, she could not take her eyes off the wide-open graveyard.
“How can you handle brain power like Eden?”
Strictly speaking, it wasn’t the same. It was clearly a different method from the decisive battle he used.
However, since Ren used the same method of extracting and using the same brain energy as Eden, it is natural that it feels similar.
‘I’ll have to be more careful in the future.’
If people related to Arzen or Eden notice and ask questions like this, it will be a bother again.
“I just briefly imitated what I saw when I was young.”
“… … “You just copied that too?”
Scarlett, who is usually not shocked, seems to be quite surprised this time, so her eyes shake.
But her eyes soon turn to interest and excitement. When the longing to be with Ren slowly begins to take hold.
“Not now.”
Ren read her eyes and spoke to her.
“You were supposed to join me when I became a senior knight.”
“That’s not the case now. “I don’t have time.”
“If you’re that busy, show me Eden’s skills. Then I’ll step down too.”
Ren frowned. As a reward for the sub-quest, my abilities increased and my body recovered to some extent, but it was still not successful.
Moreover, because of the king’s treatment, it was not possible to take any more time. I don’t know exactly what’s going on outside.
‘Why aren’t you stopping my uncle?’
At this point, Uncle Cleta has to step forward and reprimand Scarlett.
I glanced at him and saw that he was just staring with a stern expression on his face and seemed to have no intention of leaving.
‘If the king is not restored quickly, he may die… … . no way?’
Ren understood Cleta’s intention and approached her, clicking his tongue lowly.
“I’ll stick with you once this situation is over. At that time, not only will I show you Eden’s brain skills, but I will also show you my attack skills. “If I lose, I’ll also fix all your skills.”
She hesitated at the unexpected suggestion, but nodded and turned to clear the way.
No matter how crazy she is, it doesn’t mean she can’t understand the situation.
“Let’s go back quickly. “Let’s put the devil’s body in a coffin and take it with us, just in case.”
“I will do that.”
Cohen carefully held Maurice and moved. Cleta crumpled the body of Lev, who had turned into a demon, into a coffin and held it up.
‘I don’t know if this is right.’
The Black Star has been driven out and the demon killed, but not all threads have been unraveled yet.
Ren, who had a feeling that a more complicated situation might unfold, felt a bitter taste in his mouth.
* * *
“Stop.”
Aston Cash, accompanied by a few paladins and a priest, raised one hand and said.
A group of people waiting at the gates of Brilliant. It was Louise and Allan who had already heard about the cardinal’s visit.
“Nice to meet you. “This is Alan Hertia.”
“My name is Louise Hertia.”
“This is Aston Cash, the cardinal of the Holy Kingdom.”
The three people exchanged greetings lightly. Even though he was the prince of a country, Aston didn’t really care. The only people he could honor were the Pope of the Holy Kingdom and the God he worshiped.
“I didn’t know Cardinal Lee would come so soon.”
“It happened to be near Brilliant. “What was the situation?”
In response to Aston’s question, Allan quickly summarized the situation so far.
“Our troops, along with reinforcements from the north, are fighting against the group of Black Stars who have taken over the capital city.”
At the same time, a huge wave of magical energy was felt from within. An eerie demon energy that gave you goosebumps began to radiate its presence from where the royal castle was located.
“A great evil has descended.”
Hearing his low muttering, Louise and Alan look at the location of the castle with startled eyes.
“Get out of the way. “We must deal with the great evil before it regains its full power.”
“We will follow too.”
“It is time to do God’s will! Do not be afraid of death! Follow me!”
Aston mounted the horse, pulled the reins, and rode wildly. The paladins and priests followed him, and Louise and Alan also hurriedly followed.
‘The spirit of evil is stronger than I thought. If we cannot stop the descent of evil, not only the kingdom but also the continent will be destroyed. ‘Is there really a hero here to save the continent?’
As he was running down the streets of Brilliant, a name suddenly came to mind and he motioned for Allan, who was following him, to come forward.
Alan, noticing this, speeds up his horse and heads towards the front of the line. Alan was not offended at all by his gesture.
They are just princes who have not yet become kings. Considering the authority and power of the cardinals, there is nothing to be said for ignoring them.
He just pledges that he will ascend to the throne, increase the power of the country, and not let his children experience this.
“Didn’t you say earlier that reinforcements from the North were coming?”
“you’re right. This time, Ren Argen, the so-called hero of the North who saved the North, the Knights of the Golden Lion, and some members of the Allied Forces joined.”
Aston nodded slowly. Ren Argen is called the hero of the North.
I thought maybe he was the hero who would save the continent mentioned in the revelation.
‘You said you killed a master-level monster. However, this demonic energy that I feel right now cannot be compared to monsters or anything like that.’
The royal castle seen from a distance. The powerful waves of magical energy flowing from within were so dangerous that even Aston had to prepare for death.
‘If there is a hero inside, I must kill the devil even if it means sacrificing my life. If I lose my hero here, I will just become an incompetent believer who cannot keep the revelation.’
That shouldn’t have happened.
Aston gritted his teeth and increased his speed.
After running for a while, the royal castle gets closer. The fierce battle that had been going on from the entrance quieted down, and at some point, the huge evil power that had been felt in the castle disappeared like dust.
‘What happened?’
The power that had made me squirm until a little while ago has suddenly disappeared.
‘Could it be that the devil is dead?’
Although he did not encounter it directly, the Cardinal was able to clearly feel how great the power of the devil was as a believer who stood on the exact opposite side of evil.
It was hard to believe that such a demon had really been killed without any divine power.
“Execute all believers of evil!”
Aston reached the castle gate and found the believers of evil who had not yet escaped the battlefield, and raised his divine power.
A sword soaring high and golden divine power falling from the sky.
When the sword imbued with sparkling divine power is struck on the floor, golden divine power spreads throughout the castle.
Hwaaa!
Divine power in the form of a golden hemisphere radiating brilliance struck the black knights and warlocks who were unable to escape.
“Ugh… !”
“What kind of power is this, my, my demonic power…?” … !”
An unexpected attack came in succession just as I was panicking because the devil’s power had already disappeared.
While the Black Knight, who was hit by divine power, pauses due to the feeling of helplessness that engulfs his entire body, he is beheaded by Devon and dies.
“ha… … , persistent guy. “I finally killed it.”
Devon looked at the fallen Black Knight with a tired face and then stuck out his tongue when he saw the Cardinal who had unleashed this vast ability.
‘Is this the Cardinal of the Holy Kingdom?’
While he was contemplating, Kali Arzen, who was chasing the warlock, also cursed after killing the warlock who was shaking with divine power.
“f*ck. Ha, ha. “I almost fell.”
She slumped down, looking at the fallen warlock.
Soldiers whose minds had been controlled by black magic regained their senses in an instant.
They were swinging their spears and swords in a daze, then stumbled and fell, covering their mouths at the horrors unfolding before their eyes.
After quickly sorting out the situation, Aston approached Layton and asked about the current situation.
“This is Cardinal Aston of the Holy Kingdom. “Can you explain the current situation?”
“Ah, it was the Cardinal. “I don’t know exactly what’s going on inside, but seeing that the demon energy has decreased, I think those who went inside have put an end to the situation.”
“Did Lord Ren Argen enter?”
“yes.”
In response to that answer, Aston turned without hesitation and was about to enter the royal castle.
Four knights walked out from inside. The moment Aston saw them, he knew immediately who was Ren Argen.
The intense prayer, the neat posture, the dignified yet dignified face, and the serious eyes.
‘You’re younger than I thought.’
Above all, I could feel the power of demon energy inside the coffin he was holding. There’s probably a devil’s corpse inside.
“Nice to meet you. Are you Lord Ren Argen, who killed this demon?”
He stood in front of the person he thought was Ren and asked.
The man holding the coffin pauses, frowns, and turns his head.
“I am Ren Argen.”
Aston looked at him in surprise at the unexpected person’s words.
Clothes that were tattered and torn here and there, and hair that was matted and matted with blood. Dark circles under the eyes and a much younger face than expected.
His appearance broke the stereotype that a person skilled enough to kill a master-level monster and slay a demon would naturally be of a certain age.
‘Is this really the interest Ren Argen?’
Aston hid his embarrassment as best as he could and held out his hand.
“My name is Cardinal Aston Cash. Sir Ren Argen. “I heard a lot through rumors.”
A completely contradictory reaction to what I had done to others before.
Aston’s stiff attitude relaxed considerably toward Ren.
“This is Ren Argen. “If you are the Cardinal, could you possibly treat His Majesty the King?”
Cohen gently put Morris down. Aston glances at Maurice and shakes his head.
“This is not an area I can provide.”
The moment I saw Maurice, I used my divine power to check his condition.
He wasn’t just weak. It’s just a state where vitality has faded. It was a situation where the life itself was not long. This could not be reversed even if the Pope came.
“Ah, father!”
“your majesty! father!”
Louise and Alan found Maurice late and shouted.
Maurice’s pale face was lifeless. He was breathing, but even that seemed dangerous.
“First of all, it is best to rest in a safe place.”
“Hurry and serve His Majesty! hurry!”
When Louise shouted, the members of the Golden Lion Knights took her and headed to another location.
“Lord Ren.”
Aston looked at Ren endlessly with sparkling eyes.
“Did you really kill the devil?”
Ren could only wonder why this man he had never met treated him this way.
“yes.”
“Then may I make a request at the risk of being rude?”
“What do you mean?”
“Show me. “The power that killed the devil.”
