Episode. 39 Intermediate Deity (1)
The light emitted by Richard was fleeting, but the aura of the plague was persistent.
Crying-
Contaminated blood gushed from the body of Calgos, who had fled.
And it again polluted the air and land in the area.
Calgos’ corpse, even in death, was venomous.
“… … .”
Zeke, who had to watch that scene, bit his lip.
The men of Rio Castle also made uneasy faces.
The dead Calgos itself has become another castle of plague.
The body had to be disposed of quickly before the situation escalated.
“Richard. This disgusting thing, is there any way?”
Richard, who had been staring blankly into space, turned his head.
Zeke’s finger was pointing at the giant.
“Bandora, no.”
“what? then… … ”
“Right now.”
At Richard’s words, the eyes of the audience showed a look of dismay.
Ride the land, ride the wind.
A plague that would spread across the continent was pictured in my head.
Then Richard stepped in front of the giant.
hook-
A strong stench wafted in the wind.
“Tsk.”
I could see the artifacts and weapons that were melting in his stomach.
Starting with Ice Crown, Cloak, Dragon Tooth and Hundred Ghosts.
All of them were swallowed in one bite.
The current Richard was naked. If it hadn’t been for the light, a very embarrassing situation would have happened.
‘I’m going to ride properly once in denial. Weapons like my blood.’
He swallowed a sigh and touched the giant’s body and head.
The light that rose from the spot covered the two plague masses.
“Don’t worry too much about the spread of the plague. It was sealed for now.”
The light that reached the mid-level divine status completely blocked the dirty energy.
After a fierce fight, this was the best for now, having used up most of his faith.
“therefore… … .”
Richard, who stopped talking, exhaled a long breath.
He glanced over at his comrades, then turned his gaze to Alan one last time.
then soon
Richard’s body disintegrated.
“Stand up, saint!”
A voice could be heard creeping in between the chattering men.
“I’m getting some sleep… … If the wizards do nonsense, Adele, you wake them up.”
Richard, who died once and came back to life.
It was surprising that he had stayed so far.
“Are you asleep… … .”
I don’t know if it’s correct to say that I fell asleep.
The Lord of Ord put on a relieved expression.
“This is not a good place for a saint to rest.”
“I agree.”
The family heads surrounding him nodded.
“Prepare to return!”
One commander gave the order.
Then, someone shouted as if squeezed.
“… … The Kingdom of Baren will have to take responsibility for this situation!”
clap.
The ‘armored golems’, so-called barding soldiers, which had been dyed black, took a combat posture.
Behind them, the wizards began raising their wands one by one.
“The pestilence pouring out of your land! We also suffered the damage, and had to endure numerous casualties and astronomical expenses. Even more, you cannot deny the fact that you solved the disaster in your country with our support!”
The wizards shouted in unison.
to compensate and pay for the damage they have suffered.
Otherwise, he said, he would not hesitate to go to war.
But the men of Rio Castle only blinked their eyes.
“Those guys, why are there no magaris like that?”
“You want to fight, right?”
“In that state?”
From noble mtl dot com
The whispered voices of the knights were unconcerned.
The staff with no mana was just a slightly hard wooden stick.
“Kuk!”
It was the heads of the Magic Union who were outraged by him.
For the cause of war, at least for the sake of giving Baren a leash.
Now is the time to put into practice the plans we had made when we headed here.
but… … .
In my head, I should have fired a threatening shot right away, but I didn’t feel like it.
‘It’s because of the author’s energy… … !’
The wizards’ gazes repeatedly attached to and dropped from the fallen Richard.
To be honest, I felt guilty.
His light that bloomed on the battlefield became a great will for the wizards as well.
“Hmm~”
Zeke rubbed his chin.
The Temple Knights also looked at the wizards with strange eyes.
An awkward atmosphere enveloped the surroundings.
Then Alan stepped out.
“It is pointless. Put down your wand.”
At those words, the gaze of the heads of households poured into one place.
Alan, lightly ignoring this, approached Richard.
“No matter how much I think about it, I still can’t understand it.”
Alan’s eyes were full of questions.
“What the hell are you? Richard Battenberg.”
In fact, Alan learned today that the Saint of the North is of Battenberg blood.
The name ‘Richard’, which Moritz shouted as if vomiting blood, was not common.
However, Alan was not curious about his status now.
“… … .”
A few knights who heard Alan’s self-talk lowered their eyes.
Richard lying dead.
The knights also wanted to ask him.
Why did a terrible giant named Calgos call Richard his father?
If he must have been killed by him, how was he reborn with the light?
What was such a holy and brilliant ‘gyeok’?
“… … .”
Alan gently closed his eyes.
I stood there for a few minutes, as if organizing my thoughts.
Numerous hypotheses emerged.
Then only one thing floated around in my head.
“… … Horsi.”
Eventually, Alan came to a conclusion.
It came down to the fact that Richard was favored by Hor.
Because he had encountered the miracle of ‘revelation’ several times, he was well aware of how God reveals himself.
And the power that Richard had just shown was very similar to that.
“Did you stay in Lee Ja’s body? Not me, but to Iza!”
A voice full of jealousy lodged in the ears of the knights.
visor-!
In an instant, the elites of Rio Castle pulled out their swords.
“Leave right now. If you look down at the saint with those eyes one more time, I will not let you go.”
The air is overheated.
The magic union and the forces of the north faced off again.
“under. Cheeky things.”
Surrounded by blades, Alan’s spirit fluctuated, then subsided.
It reminded me of Hor’s revelation.
“If you guys weren’t followers of Lord Hor, I’d burn them to death.”
His only mission was to judge heresy.
They had no right to intimidate followers of the same god.
Then Alan turned around.
“… … I will go back.”
◈ ◈ ◈
When I opened my eyes again, I was already on the way back to Rio Castle.
“Richard, are you feeling better? Is there any pain anywhere? really! Would you like a sip of water?”
“Ah, some!”
I pushed away Moritz who kept flirting.
Then Aaron, and then Gide, were anxious to wait on me.
Seeing that, the lord of the castle of Ord laughed heartily from the side.
“Please take a little. All of this is done out of concern for the Holy Son.”
“after… … I know, but I know.”
Now that I, who I thought was dead, has come back to life, it’s not that I can’t understand their reaction.
“But you can’t help but feel burdened.”
We walked and walked.
A whopping 1,000 horsemen were following behind us.
“Wizards, you seem to be better friends than I thought.”
“flaw. That’s all.”
A chuckle came out at Seongju’s joke.
Why are the barding soldiers, the pride of the Southern Continent, following us?
I had already heard about the circumstances before and after.
“It is true that those horsemen are seriously contaminated. The Southern Continent would be ruined if it was dragged in this state.”
The light remaining in Alan’s wand was only enough to protect them.
There was no time to purify them.
It would be nice if they could destroy it, but they were in a state of stamina to move a step, let alone magical power.
However, it is not possible to stay in the land of the enemy country forever.
In the end, they had no choice but to return with their tired bodies.
“To get the golem they were biting and sucking on… … Seriously, if you hadn’t been trying to scare us, you wouldn’t have known.”
Seongju burst out laughing, saying that it was really absurd.
There was a lot of satisfaction in the eyes that looked back at the barding, which was stained black.
“The power of Rio Castle will rise vertically.”
I nodded.
‘I need to purify all the barding soldiers before I get to Rio Castle.’
Unlike Alan, my faith is growing every day, and everything will be back to normal before I get to Rio Castle.
“They are truly generous friends.”
He supported the Plague War like this, and donated golems for Baren.
I don’t know where to put my body because I’m thankful.
I guess I should give you a gift later.
◈ ◈ ◈
“Is it really over?”
“It is over. If it’s not over, you can end it all over again.”
The knights shared a lot of stories.
They remained in the vicinity of the Plague Castle and took on the role of monitoring the sealed corpse of Calgos.
“Wizards. It’s gone back to its shapeless appearance because of the barding, but it’s nothing out of the ordinary. Just like back then, the damage of the plague will surely be passed on to us.”
One of the knights clenched his fists after saying that.
The steel gloves snapped and wept loudly.
“Let’s not be relieved that the Plague War is over. After all, our main enemies are wizards.”
“okay. That’s right.”
“But that… … Isn’t that a bit strange?”
“what? that corpse… … uh?”
Suddenly, the body of Calgos surrounded by light began to swell.
“Uh, uh… … ?”
“what!”
The knights who drew their swords at once hardened their complexions.
The body of Calgos, swollen to the point of bursting.
Something was rising there.
Soon, a long sword appeared through the light.
“That’s the saint’s… … ?”
There was no time for the article to spit out questions.
Wedge-!
The sword flew with the momentum to pierce the air.
Familiar words sounded in the ears of those who stood guard.
“father-!”
