Episode. 14 lanterns (2)
awesome-
A noise so ominous lodged itself in everyone’s ears.
“What is this… … .”
The stormy battlefield became quiet in an instant.
The use of struggling to live.
Even the knights who pushed spears like crazy.
Even Gide, who had lost his temper, stiffened his body.
“Uh, uh… … !”
Only Adele’s moaning voice resounded on the frozen battlefield.
Everyone’s eyes turned to the sky.
since when?
Had there been cracks in that blue sky?
“Why, why is the crack already… … !”
Richard knew ‘that’.
And as far as he knew, this was an event that should never have happened now.
My heart fell apart.
– Ooh ooh… … .
A dark and grotesque sound echoed through the world.
A large red eyeball appeared through the crack.
The gaze of an entity of unfathomable size scanned the sky.
It was an unpleasant and sticky gaze, as if savoring the taste with his eyes.
Before long, a terrible aura began to cover the whole world.
“Ahh!”
The weapons the knights were holding dropped.
My legs trembled and cold sweat broke out.
The blue sky was dyed black with the demonic energy he scattered. It was as if he was declaring that he would make the whole world his domain.
“crazy!”
Richard’s voice trembled.
No, the trembling of the whole body did not stop.
Did you drop the Ice Crown during the battle?
Raising his hand, he patted his head.
cold touch. A crown made of ice was completely placed over his head.
At that time, the eyeballs that had been scanning the world with a gaze tinged with urgency stopped.
“ah.”
Richard and the monster’s eyes met.
◈ ◈ ◈
– Whoa… … ?
The blue sky turned black around the crack.
The huge, red eyes stared intently at Richard.
From noble mtl dot com
Richard tried to ignore his gaze and shouted.
“Everybody wake up!”
However, the knights’ eyes were fixed on the crack and did not move.
His mind was consumed by the demonic energy that aroused fear.
The crisis did not end there.
“Gide!”
dump-
Gide fell to his knees.
It is only after the quenching time is over.
The red-hot skin turned gray in an instant, as if it had been bleached.
I’m almost there.
Had it not happened, everything would have worked out as planned.
Richard, who rushed to Gide at once, confirmed his condition.
The body that was emitting so much heat was quickly cooling down.
“Adele!”
The fruit must be fed quickly.
Even the fruit of the world tree has no ability to raise the dead.
However, even at Richard’s cry, Adele couldn’t come to her senses.
As it is the world tree that forms the basis of the world, it looked as if it had been greatly shocked by the crack.
Carrying Gide on his back, he ran in front of Adele.
“Adele!”
“Oh, Dad… … .”
“First of all, calm down.”
Faith shone from the hands that wrapped around her cheeks.
“please. Save Gide.”
Adele, who finally came to her senses at Richard’s urgent voice, nodded.
“Ji, I will bear fruit right now. I will definitely save this person… … .”
“I will believe you.”
Leaving Adele behind, Richard looked at the crack. The large, red eyes were still staring at him.
I was short of breath and had chills.
However, Richard moved his body.
On the battlefield where everyone crouched and was frightened, only he moved.
‘First I have to kill the dragon.’
Cracks are not large. The boundary between the world and the demon realm has not completely collapsed.
In fact, the cracks were being filled little by little.
Whatever the identity of those eyes, it was clear that the world would not perish right now.
‘Then I must do what I have to do.’
rattling-
Richard raised his sword while receiving the gaze of bright red eyes.
I felt like I would go crazy just by looking at her.
If it wasn’t for the ice crown and the power of faith, he would have collapsed right away.
“Kreur… … .”
The dragon, with its head planted in the ground, crouched down.
The curled-up tail clearly showed how frightened he was.
-Boo… … .
When Richard approached him, the grotesque cry rang out again.
“Damn it.”
A swearing sound came out of his mouth as he raised his head in foreboding.
And hurriedly widened the distance.
Chow-!
Red blood dripped onto the crouching dragon. It was bloody tears pouring from the eyeballs beyond the cracks.
-K-Kraaak-!
The dragon covered in blood roared.
anxious about something
It couldn’t be just plain blood.
“The 3rd Knights! Come to your senses!”
Richard shouted desperately, but in vain.
The knights knelt down and grabbed their heads.
Even Aaron and Rapture were no exception.
“Ha, I’m going crazy.”
Richard looked at the dragon.
The large body that was green was dyed dark red at some point.
The dark red color that is the symbol of the light dragon.
It shuddered as if a chain were breaking.
As if it had never been frightened, the dragon roared at Richard with ferocious momentum.
Dangerous.
Even the gaze from the other side of the crack that seemed to make you lose your mind, the crazy use of cutting off the chains one by one, was really dangerous.
Richard raised his faith without hesitation.
‘Let’s think. Let’s come up with a way.’
Ice Crown trembled.
‘There are no knights who can fight right now.’
he looked around.
fear, confusion.
Everyone has already lost their will to fight. It seemed difficult to even control his body, which had become hardened.
The terrible aura flowing out of the rift was ‘magic’.
A truly vicious demon among demons.
Present-day humans had no immunity to it.
■■■■■-!
Gwangryong’s peer rang the battlefield.
Anytime you can’t move Gwangryong covered in bloody tears cut off the chain at once.
It is clear that he became a light dragon and became stronger.
The guy glared at Richard as if he were going to kill him.
“Kraaak!”
Richard, who managed to avoid the scratching claws, bit his lip.
Kang-!
The attack still didn’t work. Even so, Richard couldn’t back down.
“Aaron!”
I called Aaron anxiously. Rapture, Polk, and Jack were called one after another.
There was no answer.
“Ouch!”
Richard, who had been hit by the dragon’s tail, flew away. After rolling over several times, he stopped next to a knight.
“Cool!”
The light dragon was approaching Richard, who was coughing up blood. At this rate, the surrounding knights will also be swept away.
“Hey, get out of here!”
“It’s the end, it’s the end… … !”
The senior knight muttered nonsense.
Richard spat out curses at him and struggled to get up.
“Hoo-wook, whoo-wook… … !”
I forcibly moved my wobbly legs and settled down as far away as possible from others.
That was the only thing Richard could do now.
-Kraa!
thump- thump-
The dragon approached Richard.
Eyes engulfed in madness glisten.
– hehehe.
The sound of goosebumps of laughter resonating from the sky hit my ears.
Richard closed his eyes.
I wanted to live.
It was too futile to die here.
bang!
I managed to stop the falling dragon’s claws. Richard rolled on the ground once more.
“Big.”
After groaning once more, he stood up again.
“Do, young master… … .”
Did it fly all the way to Aaron this time? When I turned my head, I saw a loyal knight under my direct command.
Suddenly, holding his hand, Richard spilled his faith. Reason began to return to Aaron’s eyes, albeit weakly.
He looked around for a moment as if to grasp the situation, then hardened his expression.
“Aaron. You too run away.”
“… … I-I’ll buy you some time.”
“Stop talking nonsense… … .”
Aaron did not listen to Richard’s backstory. He grabbed the spear with trembling hands and charged towards the Gwangryong.
Kagak-!
The spear scraped down the scales of the dragon. Aaron, who narrowly avoided the mad dragon’s attack, winked at him.
please run away
As if to atone for losing his mind, Aaron moved desperately.
But the tip of his spear was shaking. The fear that had been forcibly pushed out was revealed without filtering.
“Chwiiik!”
Then Rapture joined. The ax had been cut into my thigh, and traces of my desperate attempts to regain my senses remained.
Quadduk-!
A huge tree trunk rose up and pierced the lower jaw of Gwangryong.
It was Adele’s support who fed Gide the berries.
“… … Forgive me for being late.”
“Come on, get out of your way.”
Someone passed by Richard.
It was Polk and Jack.
A handful of reason. Those who managed to grab hold of it blocked the light dragon.
“no… … .”
perok-
Hit by the tail, Jack rolled on the ground.
Jack was motionless, like a puppet with a broken thread.
Pook-
Rapture was pierced by the dragon’s claws, causing his body to droop.
“Ahh… … .”
Soon after, Polk and Aaron were also attacked.
Gwangryong pushed his mouth toward Aaron. That image came into Richard’s eyes.
Richard staggered closer.
“stop.”
I was afraid of them dying.
wanted to keep
If you ask me if I would risk my life for that, that wasn’t the case again.
Richard is moderately selfish and moderately hypocritical.
The most important thing to him was himself.
But now it was a little different.
“My colleague.”
It seems that I have learned a little about the tribe of knights that have not been well understood so far.
They each had their own beliefs.
It was something that ‘Lee Ji-hoon’ did not have.
“Don’t touch mine.”
Worst case of despair.
An unstoppable powerful enemy.
Richard did not collapse in the face of that ordeal.
I raised my sword even though I knew it was impossible.
To protect others, not yourself.
It was then.
『All conditions have been met.』
『The imprint of the test is opened.』
Suddenly, the back of my hand lit up. The hexagonal imprint disappeared, and a cross-shaped stigma took its place.
『One sword star (劍星) – activated.』
The sword Richard was holding floated to the surface.
Dragon Tooth became the axis. Faith ran above it.
Kuguguk-!
Eventually, the completed sword star.
Unlike the time of Death Knight, it took its perfect form.
An incomparable light emanated from the stars.
-Oooh… … .
From noble mtl dot com
The eyes that looked down on the world widened their pupils. Gwangryong, engulfed in madness, also stopped.
The light of the Sword Saint was dispelling the fear that covered the battlefield little by little.
“This… … .”
I finally opened the imprint.
Richard, who had been standing there blankly, picked up his sword.
‘strength… … It overflows.’
There was no time to express my feelings. Because faith was being consumed at an insane rate.
■■■■■■-!
Gwangryong must have felt that it was not serious, so he left everything behind and rushed at Richard.
Kwak!
The gaping dragon’s teeth collided with the stars.
A mighty shockwave swept around.
Hard-!
He placed his sword against the claws he swung in succession. Richard was pushed back with a strong repulsive force.
“Keugh!”
It was he who was in trouble when the fierce confrontation continued.
It was difficult to maintain the power of the Sword Saint with a body that had already been damaged.
just for a moment.
I had to hang everything there.
Richard kicked the ground.
His watch (視界), which had activated super concentration, began to flow slowly.
I dodged the tip of the tail that stabbed me. I deflected the claw that was clawing at the space.
What was finally revealed was the man’s lower jaw, which was now a weakness.
It was a part that was completely smashed by a concentrated offensive.
“Huh!”
Richard raised his sword with all his might.
The stars soared, emitting light.
hooked!
The dragon let out a cry of pain. The star that penetrated the lower jaw did not stop.
Without hesitation, he slit the roof of his mouth and moved upward.
Kwajik!
And finally.
The star reached Kwangryong’s brain.
