Episode. 38 Giant Slayer (4)
The screams and shouts continued.
In Alan’s eyes, all he could see was dying people.
He held a spear knife in his hand and let out a roar through his mouth.
In front of the ferocious giant, he was nothing more than a worm.
“Cheuk-!”
Alan coughed up blood.
Plague ate his body.
There was a limit to holding out with faith.
The Plague of Calgos was vicious and vicious.
“Brother Alan! Things are getting worse!”
The adjutant said in an urgent voice.
“… … It is right to retreat first and then plan for the future. This is not the land that wizards must protect!”
Marx’s elite wizards looked at Alan.
They were eyes that had lost their will to fight.
“… … If the giant cannot be stopped here, the Southern Continent cannot escape from the plague. Do you know?”
Frost settled on Alan’s face.
How dare you hang Marx’s coat of arms and talk about retreat.
Seeing the frightened wizards made me feel sick to my stomach.
Alan turned his head.
The troops of the North Continent were doing their best to stop the giant.
Even though they were swept away by Calgos’s sword, even those who were mere soldiers did not escape.
“… … Are you really not even a single soldier?”
Wizards with no mission or conviction.
Alan murmured in a sighing voice.
Magic was manifested at the tip of his staff.
The light of faith emitted from one hand energized the soldiers and knights.
‘If there was a guy… … .’
As he continued to struggle, the saint of the north kept popping up in his mind.
Would things have been different if he had been alive?
It was a useless delusion.
There was no way the dead could come back alive.
It was when Alan thought so.
pounding.
Suddenly, my heart beat loudly.
The light received from Richard soared up into the sky.
The sky is filled with the energy of magic and plague.
It was getting darker and brighter.
“Hor… … ?”
Someone who had been brandishing a sword relentlessly gave out a blank voice.
Everyone on the battlefield stopped fighting and looked only at the sky.
pounding- pounding-
A holy energy that knocks on the heart.
they sensed
“dad… … !”
The World Tree, who had declared revenge, trembled with joy.
“father!”
Calgos stretched out his arms as if to grab the sky.
The red and dirty fingertips that radiated the energy of plague reached the sky.
and.
An overwhelming light burst out.
◈ ◈ ◈
Little by little the feeling returns.
A body that did not exist begins to emerge.
“… … .”
Richard opened his closed eyes.
The light that enveloped the sky, within which he was ‘existing’.
Wearing a body made of light.
“father!”
A giant’s groan was heard.
Then, a huge hand broke through the light and approached.
It was the gesture of a depraved child who wanted to grab his father and bring him down.
[Four Sword Saints? activated.]
A single star was woven together.
Soon the number of stars increased to two, then three, then four.
Quagga-!
The man’s hand, blocked by the stars, trembled.
The evil hand, which tried to rise violently, could not reach the divinity in the end.
“Nevertheless.”
A holy voice rang through the sky.
Black smoke rose from Calgos’ ears.
“I was going down. Because I have to kill you.”
A doll fell from the white sky.
It was like the sun was going down.
『Ku, Kwaaa!”
Calgos grabbed the one remaining eye.
Tears of blood flowed down, and smoke rose in the same way.
“ah… … .”
Moritz opened his mouth.
All troops in Rio Castle shed tears of joy.
Horsi.
please save him-
Now, what I longed for has come true.
Richard, who had been slowly descending from the sky, soon stepped on the ground.
His appearance was so sacred.
Are the angels in your imagination like this?
Will God look like this?
Everyone tainted by the plague was watching a scene from a myth.
Then, the light that arose suddenly covered the ground.
Grass and flowers suddenly grew on the land that had become barren due to the shed blood and demons.
Light swept the sky once more.
The dark clouds that had been wriggling relentlessly cleared, and Magi stepped back.
The sun rose alone and illuminated the saint.
“Whoa… … .”
The saint let out a shallow sigh.
Even that figure was dazzling and beautiful, as if the warm sunlight was beating down on it.
He was very different from Richard Battenberg until now.
No, the appearance was the same, but the atmosphere itself was different.
The saint ‘Richard’ was born through the holy spirit ‘Lee Ji-hoon’ from the father ‘Hor’.
Adele shed tears of emotion after witnessing the myth.
“Lee, Richard!”
Moritz, who had fallen halfway down, struggled to stand up.
But the trembling steps did not move easily.
A sense of intimidation, for no reason why I dared to approach him, grabbed my ankle.
Richard’s gaze turned to Moritz and then fell.
Eyes embracing a mysterious light slowly scanned everyone on the battlefield.
Soon he opened his mouth.
“I’m sorry for worrying you.”
◈ ◈ ◈
I looked down at my body.
The boundary between the body and the light shimmering above it was blurry.
This was to indicate that the body and the light had the same essence.
How the hell did this happen?
It didn’t matter at all.
“Temple Knights.”
recited little.
Then, the troops of Rio Castle, including the Temple Knights, looked at me.
“All ready for battle.”
At that word, everyone gathered behind me.
I raised my strength
On this body made of light, Hor’s divinity was boldly revealed.
Paaa-!
A holy haze swept the entire battlefield.
Wildfire-like light spread from the bodies of the people lined up behind me.
『Temple Knights… … !』
From noble mtl dot com
『Abominable insects!』
Calgos wrote evil.
Even in the midst of that, he was holding his eyes with one hand.
Heresy among heresies.
The Fallen King’s Fallen Corps Commander.
“It’s a pity.”
I felt sorry for him.
Maybe this is the feeling I feel as ‘Hor’.
“The existence you’ve been waiting for so long is here.”
The four stars set the blade.
Like an arrow caught in a string, its tip was pointed at the bastard.
“You can’t even look at me properly.”
The guy screamed.
He glared at me with eyes that couldn’t even open properly.
It was a look of resentment, hatred, and a handful of affection.
thud… … !
coo… … !
The gigantic body approached one step at a time.
The arm holding the plague sword swelled as if it would burst.
“Alan.”
A voice filled with divinity spread far away.
Indeed, the saint of the south understood my meaning well.
Kwaaang-!
The white flame that swallowed Calgos’s body.
A spark of unparalleled power and size exploded.
It wasn’t just the Temple Knights who shared the power from the godhead.
Kwaaang, kwaaang-!
The wizards who had lost their will to fight once gritted their teeth and fired magic.
The mighty giant’s body shakes mercilessly.
『All the garbage that was dying!』
Calgoss, losing his reason, turned around.
It was the intention to deal with the wizards who bombarded them from afar.
stupidly.
He seemed to have forgotten the common sense that in order to deal with a wizard, you must first deal with a knight.
Quadduk-
The trees of Adele and Mar were intertwined and imprisoned Calgos.
Despite the riotous gestures of the giant, the stems of the World Tree did not break.
“let’s go.”
The Temple Knights sang a hymn.
They marched with shouts of song.
I took a step and weaved the four swords into one.
Then the giant star was completed.
◈ ◈ ◈
The star and the giant sword exchanged sword strikes with each other.
Holy energy and dirty energy collided dozens of times.
Calgos couldn’t understand the current situation.
Even the Temple Knights who had their backs and legs covered in blood.
Even wizards who bombard at the right place.
Not all of them were his opponents.
It must have been, but at some point, the situation changed.
『You have fallen.』
『There is only a handful left of the divinity that used to light up the world.』
『But why on earth is it possible to make this light shine!?』
The father he killed came back to life.
Even after being resurrected, that insignificant divinity remained the same.
If there is a difference, it is that the divinity hidden in the insignificant body has been revealed to the surface.
The difference came as a great shock to Calgos.
『Are you saying I can’t even surpass you who have fallen?』
Cries broke out.
The fallen corps commander swung a giant sword.
Kwakang, through the intersected light and darkness, I saw the hated figure of my father.
My eyes burned.
“The insignificant divinity will ascend by nourishing you.”
his father opened the door.
Blood flowed from his ears at the holy voice.
“Please don’t call me father. Because it feels like sh*t.”
Tears came out of the one remaining eye.
It wasn’t bloody tears.
“It wasn’t something that would turn out to be bastards like you in the first place.”
It was a really harsh word.
To Calgos, these words were hotter and sharper than light.
Kwaaang-
The combined blow of Zeke and Moritz severely slashed the giant’s left knee.
Alan and the magic union’s attack shook the giant’s heart.
After staggering, Kalgos knelt down and looked around at the Temple Knights surrounding him.
Compared to the Temple Knights at the time of the Great War, humans were still lacking.
Insects who would not have been able to deduce any mac had it not been for their father.
But their father will always be by their side.
differently than before.
different from themselves.
“flaw.”
Calgos burst into laughter.
I stared at Richard, who was preparing for the final blow.
keying-
Four stars gathered together soared up into the sky.
Soon, the star grew bigger than Calgos’s sword.
『… … .』
Has the will to fight finally broken?
He put down his sword and slowly brought his hands together.
Like a believer praying.
◈ ◈ ◈
A star has fallen.
The giant’s head caught in the trail also fell.
cooong-
Calgos’s head rolled on the ground with a heavy sound.
It was the crystallization of presumptuousness, with a tongue-in-cheek and an eerie smile.
“… … .”
Silence fell over the battlefield.
The troops of Rio Castle and the Magic Union all swallowed their saliva.
It seemed as if the giant would come back to life at any moment.
But that anxiety was short-lived.
“The Plague War is over.”
Richard’s voice lodged in their ears.
“We won.”
Soon, the light announcing the end of the war burst forth from Richard.
[You have defeated the plague commander.]
[Wonderful achievement 2 of 2]
[The godhood rises.]
While Calgos certainly deserves his end, for some reason… he’s kind of pitiful. Rejected until the end.
