The mansion where the Brilliant delegation is staying.
The people were left confused by the skeleton unit that came into the place out of nowhere.
“this… , what! Days! hey!”
The members of the Golden Lion Knights fought furiously, pushing away the approaching skeletons.
I saw skeletons walking around dripping with magical energy in a castle like no other place.
Aside from the fact that it was a dangerous situation, the knights were unable to hide their absurdity.
“Captain! “The number of enemies is not that large, but most of our knights are exhausted.”
Dominic called Jeffman and made him aware of the seriousness of the situation.
“Know. It must be because of that black pillar of light. Reserve as much stamina as possible. “At any rate, they are just dead bones.”
“yes!”
Jeffman, who was one of the better ones among them, stepped forward and destroyed the skeletons.
“damn! “Ren, why does so much trouble happen if you just follow that guy?”
Kali said angrily, holding on to the leg of her pants even though her leg was cut off and she kicked the skeleton, which crackled its jaw.
It was like that in the North, in Brilliant, and in the Holy Kingdom.
For some reason, it felt like wherever Ren Argen went, he got involved with crazy monsters and saw all sorts of things.
“under! f*ck. “Where is this guy called leader, what is he doing?”
“Carly Arzen, be careful what you say.”
When Basil, who was behind her, spoke in warning, she clicked her tongue and then closed her mouth.
This was because Ren had told him what Basil’s identity was.
‘Where on earth does he get these people from? The mercenary king.’
Basil gathered his thoughts as he watched the skeletons coming over the gate and the walls of the mansion.
Clearly something was going on in the castle. I thought the captain would come if I waited here, guarding the people, but he still hasn’t shown up.
That was no different from entrusting the safety of the Brilliant people to the second-in-command himself.
But I don’t think the situation will be resolved by staying here like this.
That black pillar of light. It was sucking people’s vitality and strength and amplifying their demonic energy even more.
In the end, if you don’t get rid of it, the situation won’t be resolved. Is it okay to just stay here and protect the people of Brilliant?
‘There are few master level players in Bastian.’
However, the safety of the people here was at stake in leaving like this.
“Don’t worry, let’s go.”
At that time, Layton grabbed his shoulder and said.
“I’m here, as are Knight Commander Jeffman and Kali Arzen. “There’s no need for you to be there.”
“… … “I’ll leave it here.”
When Layton nodded, Basil easily jumped over the wall and headed toward the Temple of Astenon.
There aren’t that many skeletons, and there are three senior knights on the Brilliant side, so they should be able to hold out for a while.
We must quickly resolve the situation before the power of that black pillar of light becomes stronger.
“her… “You’re crazy.”
When Basil arrived at the Temple of Astenon, he opened his mouth and let out a sigh.
The situation on the Brilliant side was not even serious compared to this. Imperial knights and holy knights were intertwined, pointing their swords at each other, and quite a few of them were already dead.
“Are the three sword masters being pushed behind?”
That’s also pretty miserable. Her hair was messy and flying, and her clothes were all torn and tattered.
On the other hand, the man with long black hair who was dealing with him looked fine.
Basil realized there was no time to waste and rushed in.
A one-time opportunity to strike a blow while the opponent is distracted by the swordsman.
With Ren’s help, he crossed the wall and became purer than ever before, and his physical abilities increased as a result.
Basil, who accelerated every time his foot touched the ground, instantly clung to his opponent and lashed out with his sword in just four leaps.
Huh!
Quaaa!!
The man, who blocked Basil’s surprise swing with his magic shield, leaned back and let go of the attack.
“Tch.”
Basil clucks his tongue in regret and the Geomju looks at him in surprise.
I couldn’t see his face because he was wearing a mask, but I knew that the other person was Brilliant.
“master… … ? “Aren’t you Ren’s bodyguard?”
“Rather than an escort, I am a second-in-command.”
“Lee Inja?”
The sword master lets out a laugh as if he is dumbfounded, and at the same time knocks away the incoming magical energy sphere and falls backwards.
“Oh my, there was another man this strong? You were surprised. “You were really cold just now?”
Unlike his relaxed tone of voice, his eyes are cold and sunken.
The magic sphere thrown from his grasp turned into dozens of blades and attacked the sword master and Basil.
Shhh shush!!
At the same time, Rust rushed at Basil, swinging his sharp claws wildly and putting pressure on him.
‘Where did this guy come from… … !’
As soon as Basil directly faced Rust, he realized why the Three Swords Masters had become like that.
Magi pours out endlessly. At the same time, this intangible force that weighs down the body. And even this long-haired man.
This was a no-win situation.
Suddenly! Wow!
Rust’s fingernails grazed Basil’s cheek.
Blood flowing down Basil’s cheek as he retreated. And the torn mask falls down.
The sword master who saw this glared at him with even more surprised eyes than before.
“mercenary… king? Basil? “Basil?”
When he muttered that, Basil seemed confused at first, then let out a loud laugh.
“It was already frustrating, but it turned out better.”
Basil raises his greatsword and glares at Rust.
“Now let’s stick together properly.”
* * *
Meanwhile, Rosaria’s delegation could not hide their embarrassment due to the influence of the undead and Azazel.
A magic circle was spread around Randaldro to protect this place, but the power was doubled.
“Commander, this cannot go on like this.”
“you’re right. princess.”
He too slowly felt that this could not continue.
Because of the magic circle, most of the people in the Rosaria delegation were free from Azazel’s influence.
However, since the magic corps was carrying all that pressure, it was only a matter of time before they collapsed.
‘What happened to Ren? ‘If it’s black magic on this scale, it’s impossible for even Ren to solve it alone.’
Karina instinctively realized that she could not just protect Rosaria like this.
Even if there was a sacrifice, the priority was to deal with that black pillar of light on the Astenon side first.
“Commander.”
“All right. Aledor!”
At his call, the magic troop leader approaches and is handed a staff.
“Nearly half of my magical power is contained here. If you have this, you will be able to maintain the magic circle for quite some time, so hold on.”
“All right.”
“Princess, please come with me.”
“I was already thinking of doing that.”
Randaldro and Karina left the magic circle and headed to Astenon.
A battlefield turned into chaos. Karina, who immediately grasped the situation, joined the Cardinal, and Randaldro joined the Sword Master and Basil.
“Mercenary King?”
In response to the corps commander’s question, Basil spits out his anger as he receives the magic energy.
“What is this old man doing here now?”
“Crazy guy… , I thought you were dead, but are you still alive?”
A huge flow of magical energy flowed from Randaldro’s grasp.
Even under Azazel’s influence, a bundle of unwavering magic soars into the sky, summons a huge thunderbolt, and strikes Rust.
Kwaaa!!!
The pure white light that filled the sky turned into blue thunderbolts and rained down with loud thunder.
A searing heat split the air, and black scars like thin shadows spread out in all directions on the ground.
Between the rising dust and pure white smoke, a black silhouette stands upright.
“Come to your senses! “One or two magic spells won’t make a difference!”
“That much magic?”
As the sword lord shouted urgently, Randaldro rolled his eyes in annoyance.
“Use this opportunity to attack quickly!”
Basil raises his greatsword and swings it at Rust.
In response, the sword lord fired sword energy and the corps commander sent a pillar of fire shooting up onto the floor.
“Khaaak!”
Although they had never combined before, they began to pressure Rust with a fluid, natural connection, and painful screams came from inside.
“cheeky… … !”
Rust, spitting out a quiet anger in the pillar of fire, stretched out his hand toward the temple.
Then something rises into the sky riding a pillar of black light.
“That… … !”
“sh*t! Stop it!”
Landaldro and Basil tried to block the black spear that protruded from the black pillar of light, but they were half a beat late.
Rust grabbed the spear one step ahead and swung it roughly.
A black flame rising from the tip of a blue spear blade.
As Basil tried to catch it head on, a stream of light green water sprang up in front of him, blocking his path, and a strange force pulled him in.
“Ugh… !”
“You idiot! “You don’t even know what that is!”
As Basil glared at him with frowning eyes, Randaldro pointed to the spear Rust was holding with a stern look on his face and said.
“It is Raman’s window that creates an unquenchable flame.”
“That spear ended up in the hands of that monster.”
The sword master twisted his mouth.
“Khahahaha!! This feeling! “I can clearly feel the power overflowing from within!!”
Rust lightly shook off the flames on his body and sent his magic energy up into the sky, and dozens of black fireballs began to form in the cloud of magic energy that spread like fog.
“Damn, we’re in big trouble.”
“If they run out, it’s over.”
“Go and stop them when they have time to say things like that! Hey guys .. hey guys!”
Landaldro drew a huge magic circle in the air, moving his fingers brilliantly like a string puppet pilot.
[Space Bind]
Hundreds of whips come out from the magic circle created behind Rust and wrap around him.
A strong pressure pressing down on the entire body.
“Ugh… !!”
Rust’s eyes widen from the pressure that feels like his limbs are being torn off one by one, and he grits his teeth and unleashes his magic energy.
“With this and that… .”
The flames from Raman’s spear instantly covered him, and he hurled a fireball at the approaching Basil and the Swordmaster.
The two people, who knew that they should avoid touching the fireball as much as possible, easily dodged the fireball and at the same time spread out a certain distance and sent sword energy flying.
Quaaa!!
The magical clouds spread across the sky swayed slightly. Proof that there were enough effective hits.
But even then, it did not completely disappear.
“Moderately… “I want to be cute, but you guys can’t do that!!”
Rust, freed from the space bind, raised his hand and slammed it into the air, causing dozens of fireballs to fall from the sky.
The power of the three men’s attacks has been significantly reduced compared to before, but it is obvious that the damage will increase if this continues.
In a hurry, Landaldro spreads his magic to deploy a wide-area shield, and the sword master and Basil jump into the air and block the fireballs as much as possible.
“hehehehe… “Do you want to leave it as is?”
The moment Rust lifts Raman’s spear.
Dangerous energy captured by his senses.
It’s a joke!!
A golden flash speeds through the air, pushing away the demonic energy in the air, and comes thundering out.
‘This power… … !’
It is fundamentally different from the attacks of the previous three masters.
I hurriedly pulled out as much demonic energy as I could and deployed a shield in front.
Kwaaa… !
A spear filled with divine power melted demon energy and pierced his abdomen.
“Khaaa… !!”
Rust is violently convulsing and spitting out blood.
The people who saw this all turned their attention to where the flash came from.
A man wearing a fox mask, dressed in pure white clothes, holding a book in his left hand and a red sword in his right, was standing on the roof of a building, spraying brain energy.
‘big… page?’
From Noble mtl dot com
Basil narrowed his eyes as he immediately realized that he was Ren Argen.
“It is said that the brain energy contains divine power… … ? “Where did a paladin like that appear?”
“That’s bizarre. “Such an ominous sword on a priest’s uniform.”
When Geomju and Landaldro were exclaiming and wondering about his identity.
There was only one other person who figured out his identity.
‘Blood test… ‘Isn’t that the sword used by the Sword Demon?’
Karina, who was constantly using magic to save people, opened her eyes wide.
‘… … no way? wren?’
She soon became convinced that it was Ren and let out a bewildered laugh.
‘What on earth are you trying to show me this time? … .’
