Episode. 19 Army of the Dead (4)
A star rose high in the sky and fell.
The tip of it was toward the Zombie Knight’s head.
Kwaaang-!
As if a bomb exploded, rotten flesh flew in all directions.
“This, the gnome… … !”
Count Feuir’s murderous gaze turned to one side.
The hill where the Legion of the Dead stood.
A huge white lion stepped on top of it, looking down at the battlefield.
Wow-!
One roar.
Right after that, the lion rushed towards the dead.
once, twice.
It was when the lion kicked the ground for the third time.
A large predatory beast that came right in front of the dead disappeared without a trace.
“What… … ?”
The lion’s roar hit my ears again.
But why?
The muffled cries echoed in front of the alliance square.
An axis that folds the ground and runs.
It was one of the powers the Lion King possessed.
“Sorry for late.”
A voice that had been heard somewhere reached the ears of the Union.
The men who had been staring at the lion with wide eyes raised their heads.
Richard was riding the lion.
However, his condition was not good.
His eyes were wet, and his whole body was wet with sweat.
“I was in a hurry to come as soon as possible.”
Richard couldn’t help but feel exhausted.
The Lion King, Nar, was accepted as a divine beast the night before.
The fact that he appeared here now meant that he was running at a really great speed.
‘Of course, I didn’t run directly, but.’
The driving force, mana, had to be borne by Richard.
The mental exhaustion was also formidable.
But it was not yet time to rest.
Richard turned his head and looked around.
First, I saw the roots of Adele that entwined the walls, and I saw the believers singing on them.
Then there was union.
It was clear that they desperately blocked the undead’s supply offensive.
◈ ◈ ◈
The Undead still outnumbered the Alliance, and the army of the dead was approaching from afar.
“Nar, he’s running amok.”
I got down on Nar.
The choir sang hymns in my ears.
It seemed that there was a little bit of vitality in my tired body.
Pot-!
He pulled out his sword again and threw himself away.
Through the stench, I moved forward, forward.
“Why are you so late!”
While he was cutting the undead for a while, he heard Leo’s voice from the side.
I opened my mouth as I slit the head of the ogre corpse.
“sorry. It took longer than expected.”
“ha… … .”
he let out a dry sigh.
Even so, he wielded his sword steadily, and his skill was excellent.
“Did you finally pray?”
“That means you waited that long for the young master.”
What was the content of the prayer?
Please hear the prayer of this weak and feeble knight.
“however… … .”
“however?”
“After praying, I thought of you, Bocchan. With my heart beating.”
Leo glanced at me with strange eyes.
If you prayed, you did it. Why is my heart beating?
“Like when you fall in love… … .”
It was a bad metaphor.
I shuddered at that nonsense.
I wanted to hit him, but right now it wasn’t like that.
“Chwiik!”
“Richard!”
Before I knew it, Rapture and Moritz ran to my side.
In addition, even Aaron approached, cutting through the undead.
“What about dust proofing?”
“Thanks to the lion that the young master rode, my breath was freed.”
Aaron made a firm face and his eyes shone.
“Chwiik! What a great human warrior! How much our comrades worry about you, chuckle!”
“When did I!”
Rapture and Moritz chatted loudly as always.
This is in the middle of the battlefield.
“I’ll play with you later.”
I shook my sword once and looked ahead.
The gigantic demonic trembled and approached.
“come.”
Soon, the waves of undead that covered my eyes parted.
Behind them, four hundred corpses riding ghost horses appeared.
“Ugly, one… … Goose, water… … !”
The leading corpse pointed his sword at this direction.
“dare… … Rio, last name… … Dots, spirits, did, did… … !”
His scraping voice was unpleasant to hear.
From noble mtl dot com
“In their eyes, we look like undead.”
Leo murmured as he shook his sword.
After that, the 1st Knights gathered in an instant.
The knights must have been rampaging for a long time, but they did not show signs of being tired.
I measured the number of enemy troops and this side with my eyesight.
“The composition is roughly matched.”
Four hundred enemies.
We are about one hundred.
It was nothing to be outnumbered like this.
“leader! Let me deal with Count Feuir!”
“Can we deal with four of them?”
“Even if there is a single scratch, I will fall out. Don’t take the head of the weaklings!”
Because those who talk like a city bartender are the first swords of Battenberg.
Each one of them was at least senior, and their talents were also unique.
A group of geniuses that cannot be compared to ordinary samurai knights.
“Brother Richard! You seem to be in a bad mood. How about taking a break?”
One of them spoke to me.
I couldn’t help but not know that I expressed concern with my mouth and greedy for my share with my eyes.
“What? You win the Zombie Night.”
“evil!”
There is no great man in this position who would retreat with the enemy in front of him.
Aaron and Rapture also burned their fighting spirit, and Moritz gripped his sword with trembling hands.
“I’m sorry, but the Count will deal with me and Aaron.”
Of course, so did I.
No, the fighting spirit that swayed in my heart was the biggest and strongest.
The battle of Snowfall that gave me defeat.
Ironically, the enemy at that time was also Death Knight.
“I have to do it before I get greedy. Aaron?”
“I will do anything if I am with you.”
Honest Aaron revealed his loyalty.
Then, the 1st Knights were frightened and stopped me.
“young master! Count Feuir is a skilled sword master. Please leave it to us this time.”
Among the heads of each samurai family, a sword master who is one of the few and the highest level.
Certainly there was a very thick wall between me and him.
Even with Aaron, it was difficult to overcome that wall.
“no.”
Even knowing that, I persisted.
“young master!”
The knights’ gaze stabbed his face.
I didn’t say it out of my mouth, but somehow I felt like I could hear their thoughts.
An immature man who does not even recognize the difference in skill with the enemy.
An idiot who doesn’t know how precious his life is because he’s gotten a little stronger.
Suddenly, I laughed.
There are so many people who worry about me.
I won’t die fighting, well.
“Now is not the time to be laughing.”
Leo followed up with an answer.
I think I already answered.
“Because we will deal with it.”
“Please reconsider!”
“You don’t say it twice.”
Of course I knew.
That my sword still can’t reach that high place.
But what can I do?
this is an opportunity
I looked down at the back of my hand, which was in pain.
The stigmata in the shape of a cross was weeping frantically.
Ever since I met that Count Poir.
“… … Then, if it’s really dangerous, I’ll step in. I can never give up on this.”
Leo, who had a long snowball fight with me, eventually raised both hands.
“The horse… … A lot, I… … !”
Did the fact that they looked away from them hurt their heart?
The Legion of the Dead fired their lives.
I put my eyes on the leader’s corpse.
A Death Knight that exudes a much more vicious force than any other guys.
That guy was Count Feuir.
To Do Do Do Do-
The sound of four hundred horse hooves rang the battlefield.
The screams of the undead did not cease.
But the words of the choir covered the noise.
It was time to prepare to fight while watching the enemy approaching.
I felt the gaze staring at me, so I turned my head and met Rapture’s eyes.
“why?”
“Chwik, no… … .”
The red pig grinned mischievously and blurted out his words.
“No what.”
“I think you enjoy fighting as well.”
“It’s not like that.”
Would you like me to fight the head of a samurai family because I’m crazy?
It was just out of necessity.
gooh-
The fierce and gloomy demon of the enemy army was right in front of us.
I built up my momentum accordingly.
He put a star on the sword he was holding in his hand.
Thanks to the crown, the cold head drew the fight ahead.
“let’s go.”
Soon after, a full-scale battle began.
Top-notch knights, including Leo, scattered their swords low.
Slow-!
Dozens of slashes fired.
The ghost horses, which ran better than any other famous horses, lost their legs and fell down.
This is the end of the annoying cavalry battle.
The 1st Knights radiated a warlike spirit and charged.
Behind them, the choir cheered them on.
[Save those who have nightmares]
[The people who cried in the dark world sleep soundly]
As if resonating with the power of the lyrics, the stars trembled.
It seemed like he was telling them to hurry up and save the knights who fell into the nightmare.
“Aaron.”
“yes. Please go.”
pat-
kicked the ground
Count Feuir looked this way as if he felt that we were living.
“You guys, are… … My prize, my price… … naughty, everything… … !”
Quaang-!
The pure white star collided with the sword wrapped in demonic energy.
They only hit it once, but the grip was torn and bleeding.
Indeed, the head of the samurai who guarded the 1st fortress.
I looked over the crossed swords at the dead-eyed count.
Quadduk-
Having lost in a contest of strength, my body was pushed back.
Aaron dug in and stabbed the spear in its place.
“Ooh, that’s wet… … .”
The Count lightly shook his sword and struck Aaron’s spear.
Part of the purple aura that can penetrate anything scattered and scattered.
shhh!
The sword venomously climbed up Aaron’s throat, which shook his posture.
I ran into it again and blocked it.
Several battles ensued.
Poirga’s arcane swordsmanship twisted like a snake.
If he wanted to avoid it, the trajectory would be bent and he would aim for the vital spot, and if he wanted to block it, the attack continued immediately.
The wounds grew on Aaron and me.
Conversely, the count was no different from his initial state.
Except for the disappearance of the glow in the eyes, which was horrible to live with.
“Sisiha, military… … .”
Oops, I gritted my teeth.
His attention was directed to another member of the Templars.
Thousands of dollars went up in the act of not caring about us.
“Whoa.”
I caught my breath.
It strengthened the body by wrapping faith all over the body.
Even so, she wrapped the Holy Aura woven with faith over the stars.
keying-
The stars groaned.
My heart felt like it was squeezing, and my head hurt like it would break.
A body clad in faith.
A star woven from faith.
An aura bound by faith.
The body couldn’t handle it.
It was still an unreasonable skill for me.
“young master. I will do my best.”
Aaron gripped the spear tightly.
A purple aura began to rotate around the spear.
The savagery emitted by the aura itself grew stronger.
“More, softer… … Intrusive, is… … Ki, luck, Rhoda… … .”
The Count straightened his posture.
The eyes that had been looking elsewhere turned to us again.
yes, that’s how it should be
Kwaaang-!
It started with Aaron.
The sword and spear tip surrounding the demon collided.
“… … !”
Aaron’s spear did not move.
On the contrary, it disturbed the magic.
It was my turn next.
The stars that scattered the light drew an arc.
Kwak!
The count’s sword, which had let go of the spear, faced the star. Faith and demonic contact collided, causing a strong shockwave.
Quaang, Quaang-!
With each strike, the ground cries and the air trembles.
There were deep cuts on his limbs, and his stomach was turned upside down by the thick demonic air.
Blood flowed from his clenched teeth. One of Aaron’s arms was already broken.
“Huh… … Heo-eok… … !”
My breath went up to the tip of my chin.
Even if it is strong, it is too strong.
A real exhaust leader who can’t even compare to Poland Helga.
‘Tsk.’
Someone kept whispering in my head.
It’s impossible for you to deal with him now.
Hurry up and leave it to Leo and leave.
Let go of your petty pride and buy yourself.
that was my reason
Just then, Leo and I met eyes. Besides that, the 1st Knights who had dealt with the opponents I was in charge of were looking this way.
With a look full of concern.
They seemed to think the same as my reason.
From noble mtl dot com
“… … f*ck you.”
I took off my ice crown and threw it away.
There was no need for reason to talk nonsense.
“I’m not fighting because of my frivolous pride.”
Sword Saint’s stigma.
This is the same fate that I inherited.
It was an endless ordeal that had no choice but to risk one’s life knowingly.
An old memory emerged from the other side.
