154. Zagoras and Ekis (4)
Skin ablaze with high-density divine power. A black horn that has become difficult to hide any longer due to irritation. The sticky magic that seeps out from behind the armor in the shape of a golden lion.
All of this indicated that Delion was a demon.
Delion.
Her name as a demon is Zago, and Lass avoids Bernice’s preemptive attack, thinking that even having a pathetic conversation is a waste of time. I glared at
A saint.
The one-of-a-kind being chosen by the Goddess Heneris, who is also called the agent of the Goddess.
Divine power and Magi are forces that can never be mixed, just like Heneris, the Goddess, and Helgenas, the Demon God.
So the existence of a saint with an overwhelming amount of divine power could be said to be a living fear itself to other demons.
Ras Zago encounters the saintess who only listened to her words for the first time.
Likewise, Zago Lars felt ‘fear’ just like the other demons who put Bernice in front of her eyes.
So Zagoras thought.
He rolled his head desperately.
He could feel it vaguely.
‘There is no chance of winning in an all-out war.’
Zagoras once heard a story from his subordinate about Saint Bernice of this generation.
‘Brother Delion, the saints of this generation can’t use large-scale healing?’
It was Zagoras who had witnessed the large-scale healing of former saints with his own eyes during the previous war.
Because it was divine power, there was no need to heal demons, so it was a large-scale divine magic that scattered healing light all over the battlefield.
Healing power on a different level from that of a priest had the power to turn ordinary soldiers into beings similar to ghouls.
At first, the human soldiers couldn’t adapt to the bizarre sight of being stuck together even if their legs were cut off… Did they say that humans are animals of adaptation?
It wasn’t long before the waves of madness forgot the word death rushed towards the demons.
Of course, the result.
The demon’s disastrous defeat.
Zagoras still couldn’t understand how he lived on that battlefield.
Anyway, since most of the battlefields the saintess took part in were large-scale battles, the demons couldn’t avoid a big blow.
In the end, the elite among the elites carefully selected by the corps commander formed an assassination unit and succeeded in assassinating her saintess. It was supposed to be a very honorable death, but the damage on both sides had grown out of control for a long time, and in the end, humans and demons had no choice but to make a truce.
‘What? The saintess couldn’t use her large-scale healing… Is such a half-penny saintess the saintess of this generation?’
Her A holy woman who can’t use large-scale healing that can change the battlefield. It was a very strange thing.
But it was good news for the demons.
Zagoras thought that he had obtained information that his staff would like after a long time, but he had to smile bitterly at the words of his subordinate.
‘…Instead of that, a large-scale bombardment is possible.’
‘Bombing…?’
‘Hmm, I think it’s the feeling of divine power pouring down from the sky. Anyway, she says she’s a saint who specializes in combat rather than healing. I heard that specialized abilities change depending on the era… Does Heneris have war in mind? At least I hope there will be no war until I die…’
‘hahahaha… You mean bombing… That’s accurate information, right?’
‘I don’t know. I heard it from a priest I know.’
Large scale nova bombardment.
In Zagoras’s mind, a scene of irresistible beams of light pouring down indiscriminately from the sky of the battlefield to the demon army is drawn.
Looked much more dangerous than the saintess of the past.
It was the moment when the information that would raise the corners of the staff’s mouth turned into information that would rot his head.
In the case of large-scale healing, it inevitably required a large number of soldiers in order to fully demonstrate its power.
If there are only soldiers, the damage of allies will be significantly reduced and the immortal army that can inflict great damage to the enemy will be completed.
However, the marching speed slows down because you have to lead a lot of soldiers. Obviously, the power is strong, but the ankle is caught.
The fact that it was quick to detect and easy to deal with was also a downside.
By the way, the nova bombardment is a different story.
With a single body, you will have the power equivalent to that of an army. If you work with a small elite, it will be difficult to detect, and the speed will be fast.
At the moment a bombardment falls on the outpost of the demons… A nightmare will unfold.
Zagoras, who experienced the power of such a divine bombardment for a very short time, felt his burning skin gradually recover with a hissing sound.
It’s a shame because he managed to become a black horn. The insignificant killifish would have been completely burned in less than a second.
‘All-out war with a saint with such power…’
Zagoras wasn’t arrogant enough to make such a stupid choice, on the contrary, he knew his place very well.
Because of that, he was able to survive until now.
Because of that, I was able to become stronger than before.
Zagoras flicked his hair and scanned his surroundings. On the other hand, he thought about running away, but the plains, where he had no place to hide, seemed easy to pursue.
In the first place, it must be seen as a place with combat in mind, just like the outfit.
The opponent is a saintess and 10 members of the Silver Wing Knights.
Compared to that, there are only four of his members.
The fortunate thing was that those four were the ones he trusted the most and had his biggest weakness.
I can’t turn my back.
All-out war is also difficult.
Zagoras’ choice.
“Kvedish, Gilmore, Amil, Blair.”
Zagoras was slowly calling the members by name.
“As you all know, if I die, you will be finished. A massive investigation will be conducted inside the Knights of the Golden Lion, and the crimes you have committed will be revealed to the world. So there is no going back.”
They were taken aback by his continued voice and regain their senses.
“Still, the opponent is a saint…”
One of his men makes a weak sound.
It made sense.
No, he was right.
The opponent is no one else, but a saint.
But Zagoras focused on being a ‘saint’.
After sleeping, Lars pulled out the sword from his waist and opened his mouth.
“I will tie the feet of all the knights. You guys rush towards the saintess and interfere as much as possible. Interference is enough. If you do that, you will find a way to survive.”
“Even if Delion is like that, can we really disturb the saintess?”
“…Aren’t you mistaken that you’re a demon? Aren’t you all ‘humans’ anyway? You’re not going to be hit by divine power like me, and I’ve never heard of a saint who kills humans.”
“…”
At Zagoras’ logical explanation, the members of the Golden Lion Knights nodded their heads in awe.
It made sense.
Since he is a human, it is natural that he is not affected by divine power.
Moreover, the saintess was known to bring an escort with her wherever she went.
She was told that if the saintess was weak in close combat, she might have a chance. She didn’t see anything to sharpen in the arms of Bernice, who was immediately in front of her eyes.
In the end, the members of the Golden Lion Knights put on their helmets and take out their weapons.
In response, Bernice, who had been silently watching them from a distance, tilted his head.
“Are you done with the conversation?”
“……”
Question and answer dance.
Zagoras pointed to the ground and slammed Magi into the ground to answer.
—-Surely…
Black smoke rises from the earth, instantly turning the plains into darkness.
It was still dark because it was a gloomy night, but the view got even darker.
From noble mtl dot com
Next, Innes, who was next to Bernice, shouted to their members.
“Everybody stop breathing. It’s a smoke filled with demonic energy.”
The helmets of the Golden Lion Knights were already treated with magic to block the entry of demons due to Zagoras’ spell, but the helmets of the Silver Wing Knights were not.
Magi is no different from poison to humans.
Bernice thought about it as she casually inhaled the smoke full of demonic energy.
‘Magic that is just a gimmick. I know better than anyone else that pranks like this are useless as long as I’m here, so why did I make this choice?’
Anyway, it was time to erase it.
“I will do it.”
Bernice raised his arm, gathered divine power in the sword, and swung it to stop Iñez, who was trying to shake off the smoke.
ㅡ Perfect!
Then she raised her arm and snapped her fingers.
ㅡKeying!!
With one simple, easy movement, an enormous amount of holy power erupted from her body, and she could not clear the smoke and disintegrated it.
It was not Zagoras, but his members, who rushed in front of Bernice, who had secured her sight and faced the bright moonlight again.
It was human.
Zagoras charged from the side and charged the woman in the silver breastplate.
It was only then that Bernice understood what Delion was up to.
The saintess will not be able to kill humans.
Melee will be weak.
‘You didn’t think such a trivial thing, did you? Delion.’
Delion’s men are running towards him quite desperately.
In such a sudden situation, Bernice relaxed and opened her mouth.
“Innes, tie him down for a moment. Don’t kill him.”
“As ordered.”
Innes did not have the idea of protecting Bernice from the beginning.
Which side is her life in danger?
It was on the side of the member to deal with Zagoras on the side.
Even Bernice did not think that Ines would protect him.
She just gave orders not to kill.
Delion’s men were in a state of perplexity. Even so, the feet were running forward.
In a few seconds, their blades will reach Bernice’s throat.
They were taken aback when Inés quickly disappeared from their sight.
The saint’s knight.
What are you doing without protecting her saint?
