132 – Selection.
You may not believe me when I say this, but I don’t really like massacres.
For the sake of efficiency or to set an example, he even performed massacres on his own a few times.
I’m not a lunatic murderer, so what’s the point of watching people get tired and fly away when they hit me?
I don’t know if it’s a truly exhilarating struggle, worth fighting with all your might and scattering blood and sweat.
Slaughter was one of those tedious, terrifying jobs that were slightly better than paperwork in terms of going out and running.
And I looked forward to seeing the two enemy generals facing each other in the middle of the plain.
The expectation that this selection process would not be a cumbersome massacre.
“It’s been a while. Atalanta.”
“Dianes.”
The message from Delpesias that Atalanta joined the war gave me great joy.
I didn’t raise her to be her playful cat in my arms.
She was a warrior. A born boneless warrior who was suckled by her bear and recognized by her hunting goddess as her own goddaughter.
Many of her idiots worshiped her, enchanted by her beauty, but I pulled out a roaring beast inside her and made me howl all over her.
A beautiful and powerful female warrior born in the age of mythology.
She was not a tragic heroine who shed tears by biting the hem of her clothes in the confrontation between her men surrounding her.
He was an imposing warrior who would bite and cut off the neck when Heaven strangled him, and if the ground rose up and blocked his way, he would break the ground and advance.
Since she bet on such a thing like a winning prize and fell and went to war, of course she had no choice but to be strong and participate in the battle herself.
I just nodded my head proudly, judging from the slight feeling that there had been great progress in the month without me.
“I look forward to this.”
“Whoops, you can look forward to it.”
Atalanta’s face, which had been stiff at my words, loosened up and smiled brightly.
Unlike before, she was completely free from her heart, and her smile, shining with aspiration, shone brightly as if flowers were blooming everywhere.
-Kidduck!
But, can you hear this disturbing noise next to that flower garden?
It was Theseus, another protagonist of this war, who was gnashing his teeth while looking at me and Atalanta.
“…Tsk.”
“What, what?”
I’m sorry.
I’m really sorry.
I clicked my tongue in regret as I saw Theseus, who had died in the complete opposite of Atalanta.
Theseus, a hero of wisdom equal to Hercules, who occupied a part of this myth, was no longer seen.
There is only one beast full of miasma, devoured by anger and jealousy.
At one time, even I, if possible, put that brilliant wisdom and strong bones that can easily surpass the level of the best person in the world.
I was even more disappointed to see that he had even taken off one layer of hair and grown up with that terrible mindset as the driving force.
As an old man, as a great senior, I guess.
From noble mtl dot com
Or, as a martial artist, it’s a pity that his brilliant talent rots and disappears.
In the end, I finally said something.
“Hey, Theseus.”
“…! Heck, tell me.”
Huh…
I don’t know if it’s filled with poison rather than evil, but when I’m talking to you, Theseus’ whole body trembles like a beast poking its head in…
“People do not trip over mountain peaks.”
The only thing that made people fall and collapse was the small stone under their feet.
Because I know why Theseus risked his Atalanta to challenge me and why he fell so terribly.
In the end, I ended up doing something that didn’t work.
“…What?”
“A lot of time has passed, I have to wait for the gods to write it.”
I have nothing more to say.
Those with original faith don’t need a word of teaching, and those without faith don’t need thousands of priests.
It was up to Theseus to realize or not realize anything during this war.
As I beckoned, the centaur, who had been watching from a distance, came running and gave us a glass of wine.
“Okay then let’s get started.”
“Okay. I’m tired of waiting.”
“…Yes.”
With our glasses raised high, we swore to the gods with one voice.
– King of all, great Zeus. And I swear by the Twelve Gods of Olympus who look down on all things.
May the strong win, and the cowardly fall.
And I hope that everyone here can fight fair and answer the blessings of the gods!
Theseus with an embarrassed face, Atalanta full of expectations.
And I enjoy this situation itself.
Three glasses collided in the air, and the bloody wine was drank at the same time.
– Clink!
Then, the broken glass that fell on the floor announced that they had crossed the irreversible river with a scream, and the war began.
-Wowaaa!
-Yaaa!
“Is it like this too?”
As soon as the trumpets sounded, the armies of both sides attacked me fiercely.
Theseus leads the army marching in an orderly fashion with a shield at the fore.
Atalanta was at the forefront of the warriors who divided their positions by role and advanced freely.
If it’s natural, it’s a natural situation.
Since they already know my strength against Hercules, they must have judged that they had to push me first in order to win, even if it was a May Day race for a while.
“Honestly, I am not wrong.”
If this was a war for me too.
Seeing that I was still with my hands behind my back, as if I was out for a walk, Theseus’ eyes sparked, and Atalanta’s eyes flared up with alertness, and I too moved.
One step.
It was just one step forward.
The 2nd step of Heavenly Demon’s reign.
“Shinma Abji(神魔壓地).”
The ground screamed at the footsteps of the shinma that knelt on the ground, and a landslide appeared on the vast plain.
-Koo-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu!
I’m still in extreme danger, and I shouldn’t have the children die in the cracks of the earthquake, so I reduced the power moderately.
Nevertheless, the majesty of the huge landslide soaring up into the sky was astounding.
“Now… What are you going to do now?”
I waited while watching the reaction of the two armies, which felt like a thrill.
To me, this event was not a war.
This was a selection.
Among those born with divine blood in this age of myth.
How many people will there be who will run alongside me, inherit my teachings, and cross the wall, who will become the skeleton of the new Heavenly Demon Religion to be established in Greece?
The feeling of aggression that gradually spread widely conveyed the situation of the two armies one after another before even a second had passed.
“Ooh..? Look at these guys?”
“All-! Defense formation!”
“Testudo! Testu is also large!!”
As soon as the command of Theseus in the lead and Jason in charge of the rear echoed, Theseus’ army turned into a wall of shields in an instant.
Testudo.
Just like its name, which refers to the so-called turtle, it was a formation that stood up to arrow attacks by building walls around the army with shields.
However, the current warriors who make up the turtle’s shell and bones are each born with a thousand divine blood.
In addition, their shields and armor were among the best of masterpieces forged by the blacksmiths of the Xinjiang Cyclops. At this rate, even if someone attacks with an onager (catapult), they will easily block it.
However, Theseus did not stop there, and whenever he commanded with a shout, a strange aura spread from them and dwelled on each soldier under his command.
“That’s it, what I realized this time.”
A kind of buff that Artemis showed last time.
It wasn’t like Hercules that he had a penal gimmick, but like the lion’s roar, he must have learned how to put strength into his cry and put his will to encourage the soldiers.
The soldiers who heard the command followed the command without wavering as if they were connected by a collar and kept their positions, and their strength and concentration also increased terribly.
“Oohhhhh!!”
“The power is overflowing! Wowaaa!!”
If I could just awaken that talented Mojiri, it would be a great help.
“The more I look at it, the more I covet it.”
There was someone who stood out as much as Theseus, and that was Jason.
“Hey. Alas! Get your shield up! Your arms are wavy like some kind of old lady!”
“Yai! Stand up! Build it!”
“Let’s see after you finish later! Sub-commander bastard!”
“Yes, if you give me a scratch from that monster ticket this time, I will accept it! So, raise your shield!!”
If Theseus is a mythical hero, Jason is truly a hero of the Three Kingdoms.
As he commanded from behind, jokingly and jokingly, those who had been shaken by Theseus’ command relaxed and accepted his command.
Even so, he himself took the lead with a shield, so he was truly an example of a commander.
“Okay, Jason. Once you pass.”
Atalante passed immediately, and Theseus will have to wait and see.
If I needed a commander or commander to lead my armies, Jason was the perfect fit.
Even in the golden generation, he’s a bit nerdy, but he’s a decent enough guy from my point of view.
Of course, the price will be very sweet.
“Let’s see, Atalanta…? Ohh.”
The Atalanta army, which should be called a mercenary corps or a warrior corps rather than an army, in direct contrast to the Theseus army, was quite pleasant.
“Stay behind me! Protective magic, defensive magic, whatever!”
Unlike Theseus, who built a wall of shields and started holding out, Atalanta was like an arrowhead.
Of course, Atalanta is at the forefront of that move.
As expected.
She raised the level of two magicians, and her fists shimmered with red energy like her pupils.
It was not a type period, but a martial art that was felt only as a feeling, but in the end, like Touma did, he succeeded in strengthening his inner strength through foreign work.
“Knock Knock Knock! Atalante! Do you know that we are all crazy b*tches?”
“She was originally a crazy b*tch! Did you forget I punched you in the face then!?”
“Kiyah ho! Awesome! Run! Run! Run!”
“ΠΡΟΣΤΑΣΙΑ ασπίδα, Ασπίδα της Αθηνάς…. Hey these guys! Shut up!”
“Τοίχος του ανέμου του Ζέφυρου…. I think it’s easy to cast magic while running!”
And five female warriors and wizards clung to her with both hands full of martial arts.
They were the daughters of Ares and Aphrodite, who used to work together with Atalanta in the past.
They were reminiscent of riders at the end of the century as they steadfastly defended Atalante’s back and prepared to break through the landslide while bursting with wild cheers.
“Ohhh… I’m sure you’ll hear more from Atalante later, right?”
I wanted to hear how she managed to keep those snarers under her own control, and how she taught Gillay to follow her even in the most chaotic situation.
Isn’t it good if you have subordinates or lieutenants of the Four Heavenly Kings?
-Koo-gu-gu-gu-goo!!
“Hold on!!”
“Break through!!”
The two armies that showed such conflicting responses soon collided with the first ordeal I caused.
With the help of Theseus’ buff and Jason’s command, a huge earthen sand fell upon the heads of Theseus’ army, who had turned into a stout piece of rock.
A muddy stream of black soil and rocks rushed at the front of the Atalanta army, who attacked without hesitation like Artemis’ arrows.
“Oh…!”
And before the landslide fell asleep.
There was an army rushing at me without hesitation.
“Ahhh!!”
-Kwaaang!
The spirit of fighting that couldn’t even cover the screams of the earth.
Like a red meteor, Atalanta threw her fist at the avalanche without hesitation.
“Yes!”
I couldn’t hold back the cheers at that appearance.
In the past, I wonder if Mugeuk Toma felt like this when he saw me punching through the tidal wave of Kwon Kang he caused.
As I cheered at the pride and pride that filled my heart, Atalanta swung his fist even more ferociously as if he had heard it.
“Look! Tuma! I mean bosi! I have managed to create a mine that completely carries on your progress!”
My most respected and dear teacher, Mugeuk Touma.
His teachings, which were so heretical and awe-inspiring, were not inherited even by the late Moorim scholars of the time.
From noble mtl dot com
In the primordial land, where all civilizations and myths were born, his descendants were eventually born.
-To-do-do-do!
“Uryaaa!!”
Every time the red fist is punched, the muddy stream of mud and sand that rushes ferociously breaks and cracks.
Just as his Moses split the Red Sea, Atalanta splits the huge tidal wave of soil with just his two fists and advances.
Only aiming for me, only to defeat me!
“A demonic person, how can you not smile at this!”
-hahahahaha!!
Come, come, come.
Break through the tyranny of the gods, break the tyranny of the demons, and come to me.
The most beautiful and greatest mine I have ever made! The masterpiece of my life!
-Koo-Goo Palace!
“Huap!”
“I am out!!”
“Long live Atalante!!”
“Hey!! Long live magic! Long live mother! Master Cariclo, I love you!”
“The shield is awesome! Big sister is awesome!”
“I love you unnie!!”
When I laughed out loud at the overflowing joy, Atalanta broke through the mud without a single dropout and stood in front of me.
“…..”
“…..”
I smile at the pleasure that has not gone yet.
Even though she is covered in dirt and exhausted, Atalanta still maintains her fighting spirit.
Words were already unnecessary.
“Pour in whatever you want!!”
“Yes! It should be!”
Atalante, who rushes at her while destroying the earth, and I, who greets her head-on.
The prelude to this war belonged to the Atalanta army.
