Episode. 22 Trial of the Gods (2)
Kwurreung-!
A magic circle drawn using the sky as drawing paper.
From the center, black lightning twisted and fell.
“I will stop you!”
Aaron threw himself at the lightning that was targeting Richard.
A purple aura that wraps around the clenched spear and rotates fiercely.
Plugged it into a lightning bolt.
There is no roar to be heard.
The only thing that could be heard was the sound of the wind blowing.
“Whiyu.”
Seeing Aaron’s performance, Richard blew his whistle.
Piercing Aura is a mana attribute that penetrates and disrupts the composition of mana.
Since mana is disturbed, the magic composed of mana is nothing more than a mirage.
It could be said to be the magician’s natural enemy.
aaah-!
The magic of the rich continued.
Flames, lightning, winds, etc. attacked, harboring sinful darkness.
Then again, Aaron stepped out.
Peeing, peeing-
The magic that made a loud noise dispersed.
Standing in the middle of the mana flow, Aaron took a step forward.
The steps soon became a leap.
The run soon became a charge towards the enemy.
Following him, Richard and Rapture kicked the ground.
“Cheak!”
One lich spread a barrier.
At the same time, a pillar of fire erupted from under Richard and the others.
Whoops, Aaron quickly rammed his spear into the ground and extinguished the pillar of fire.
In the meantime, Rapture and Richard arrived right in front of the Rich.
“Chwiiik!”
Rapture slammed the ax that had been raised to its fullest extent.
Kwajijik-
A barrier that is torn like a sheet of paper.
A single curtain could not stop the ignorant attack of the rapture.
Richard’s star poked through the gap.
“Ouch!”
A light shone in the lich’s white skull.
Even when I tried to pull it out with my bony hand, it only dug deeper.
“Chwiik, what is it? Isn’t it easier than you think?”
Rapture scratched his head as he looked down at the bones that were crumbling little by little.
Richard shook his head at him and opened his mouth.
“It’s going to get harder.”
being five and one.
Before the fight, the liches definitely said so.
And Richard knew exactly what those words meant.
gooh-
More powerful magic surged from the remaining liches.
◈ ◈ ◈
The liches who attacked the castle were intertwined with each other with curses.
From noble mtl dot com
It was the worst curse that when one person dies, the rest bear the karma of the deceased.
However, that was the case of humans, and it was a blessing beyond measure for the lich who accepted Magi.
“You guys!”
The fight went on for a long time.
Quaang-
An explosion that reverberates throughout the battlefield.
Each one of the Lich’s magic, which became the last one, was powerful.
It was to the point where it was difficult to penetrate even with Aaron’s aura.
Then the elves came out.
“Aagh!”
Magic and magic collide.
Beyond the intense explosion, another magic flew in.
The lich was strong, but he couldn’t block the magic of the 50 elves.
Besides, they weren’t the only enemies.
Richie trembled at Richard’s party who clung to him tenaciously.
If you want to use the highest level of magic, the elves are looking for an opening.
When I turned my head to counterattack, the blade clad in an aura hit the barrier.
Mana, which seemed like a mountain, began to show its end.
Lich Hanon was already full of energy and couldn’t resist the victory.
“Dealing with wizards isn’t easy either. But thanks to you, it became a practice.”
Richard, who was tanned here and there, said with a smile.
Richie was sitting in front of him.
“… … .”
A lich who had entered the realm of a great mage, albeit for a moment.
Not even given a name, he looked around the battlefield in silence.
Humans are strong.
He wasn’t afraid of Magi, and he had a solid countermeasure.
It’s been a long time since all the monsters that have flocked in the dark have been dealt with.
The faces of the people holding the sword were full of pride that they had defended the castle.
end of battle.
Richie was left alone and bumped his jaw.
“Khehehehe. What are you so proud of?”
In the first place, he was a messenger who came to convey the words of a noble person.
Where would you use a castle like this to capture it?
“Do you think the darkness is just blocking your way?”
They won’t know until they die.
The fact that the silent darkness is calling their bodies as a shield.
Foolish tribes who believe that the nightmare will end if they stay in the castle.
“Your end is destruction and despair. Soon the heavens will tear and the great King will descend!”
The crumbling lich chuckled.
It was as if the screams of humans could be heard in his ears.
It was then.
Kwadeuk-
A star rose through his skull.
Richard, standing in front of him, muttered with a sad expression.
“The rift does not open. I will stop it.”
“What… … .”
“In the end, nightmares only end in dreams.”
The red burning eyes of the lich shook.
What is that attitude of knowing everything?
“You guys… … .”
There was no time left to ask what it was.
Richie’s body, which was glaring at Richard, was scattered into powder.
◈ ◈ ◈
Day and night changed several times after leaving the castle.
Was the battle over safely?
surely we will win
How many casualties will there be?
I hope I don’t die too much.
On top of Nar running on the ground, Moritz muttered to himself.
I felt like I would go crazy if I didn’t think of anything else.
“Uh, uh… … .”
He was endowed with great trials.
If he overcomes, he has performed a great duty, and if he is defeated, he will die in vain.
Of course, Moritz had no intention of breaking.
Whenever I wanted to give up, I remembered the light that Richard emitted.
A really warm, beautiful light.
It is said that it is a power bestowed by God.
“me too… … !”
i want to have it too
Moritz’s eyes were filled with longing.
“Damn it Richard!”
I looked down on him, thinking he was definitely below me, but when I opened my eyes, my younger brother had gone up to a higher place.
I thought I would be able to catch up again sooner or later, but when I came to my senses, I made one step below, and my brother a long way up.
I had to accept it now.
He came to respect Richard.
To the guy who bullied and mocked me so much.
“If the winter wind is cold and you are afraid of the dark night.”
“He will hug you.”
“I will go I will go ahead and do it.”
Realizing and acknowledging Richard’s true nature was an extremely difficult task for Moritz Battenberg.
But after serving God, it changed like a lie.
The one I believed in and prayed to was God, but as my faith deepened, I felt a strange feeling from Richard.
It’s definitely respect and awe.
It was also an emotion that one would feel for a person serving as a knight, and it was the utmost heart of a believer toward God.
‘I don’t think the other guys even noticed.’
He thought of the knights who would occasionally tilt their heads at Richard.
Whiing-
A wind mixed with a nasty demon blew, awakening Moritz’s thoughts.
I grabbed my trembling body and looked around.
As I walked away from the castle, I felt as if I had been thrown out of the world.
That’s why the outside of the castle was completely black.
“Horsi, light the way ahead!”
He prayed fervently and ran.
It’s funny, but the image of God pictured in my head was exactly like Richard’s.
Wow-!
Gnar chewed up and spat out the rare undead he encountered.
It was said that it was a spiritual creature that Richard had tamed, but its miraculous power and strength could never be attributed to a beast.
“That… … .”
It was when they had run for a long time and crossed the plains.
The forest came into Moritz’s eyes.
It was a kind of border crossing the middle of Pauline Castle and Rio Castle.
‘I’ve finally come this far.’
If you cross this line, you will come to the domain of the warriors guarding Paulin Castle.
Moritz, who gritted his teeth, headed for the forest without stopping.
◈ ◈ ◈
“Chwiik, do you know where Comrade Moritz is? I can’t see the fort.”
I was taking a break for the first time in a while, but Rapture came to me and asked.
As I looked at the dullness in my eyes, a sigh came out from within.
Mindless orcs are very enviable.
I’m busy worrying about someone’s future.
“I sent you a mission. I won’t be back for a while.”
I made a gesture to get out quickly, but Rapture managed to pull a chair and sit next to me.
“What is the mission? Chwik.”
“under… … reconnaissance mission. He told me to scout Pauline Castle and the nearby manor and come.”
“Chuck! Our cowardly comrade must be having a hard time!”
Ignored the rapture as I tapped my stomach and smiled. I skimmed through the prayer.
Aspirations, no different from those of any other day, floated in the air.
[Listen to Moritz’s prayer.]
– Horsi, light the way ahead!
Among them, Moritz’s prayer is noteworthy.
It is surprising that the faith contained in this simple wish is 95.
It must be so scary and frightening.
“Let’s see if comrades have grown up, Chwik! It seems like only yesterday that I was trembling like a kitten, but now I go out on patrol alone!”
“Noisy. Go out and talk.”
The sound of the orc’s gruff voice resounded throughout the room, and it felt like it was ringing all the way to the goal.
“You are the only one who can talk to me right now. Please deal with me.”
“You like that… … .”
Mary was about to say— but shut her mouth again.
Right after the battle with the lich, she took the messy cloak and clothes from me.
They said they would fix it, but until now, four days later, I haven’t seen him blow his nose. It seems that he is busy with the saint’s clothes and all.
“A great human warrior.”
“why.”
“Do you have any ill feelings toward Comrade Moritz?”
The orc immediately bit his sore finger.
I raised my head and looked at him.
“Chwiik, of course, I don’t know what happened between the two of you.”
“Then don’t mind.”
“Looking at you and Comrade Moritz, it looks like Mary Sozer and I overlap.”
“… … what?”
Rapture made an absurd noise.
Why did the story of unrequited love come out all of a sudden?
“It’s just that I like it and pretend I don’t like it… … .”
“get out.”
Puck, threw a pillow in his face.
Rapture, who skillfully snatched it up, continued with a chuckle.
“Joke, joke. Chwiik!”
“If you’re going to keep talking nonsense, get out of here right now. How much of a break is this?”
There was not the slightest reason why I should have any ill feelings towards him.
To be honest, Moritz’s first impression to me was unfavorable.
That’s it.
It was an insignificant feeling that there was nothing to admit.
“But why?”
Dislike or not, Moritz has already become a follower of mine.
It wasn’t even wagging its tail in succumb to my power.
When I listened to his prayers, I could clearly see that his tyrannical disposition had been reformed.
What is the reason to discriminate against him, a devout believer?
“just… … It was because I felt sorry for my comrades noticing you. I wonder if this reconnaissance is also the purpose of harassing you, Chwik!”
“I hope you feel less sorry for Mary being rejected.”
“Quick!”
I smiled and closed my eyes.
“There’s no need to fix it when you’re stuck with old things alone.”
stupid guy
The figure of Moritz, who was struggling in the middle of the day, was drawn.
I didn’t want to send it alone if possible, but he was the only one who could carry out this mission.
He made preparations to avoid the worst, but the rest is entirely up to him.
Tok, tok-
Why? The fingers pounding on the table were strong.
“Heh… … What, are you worried about your comrade? Chwik!”
Rapture laughed awkwardly.
After all, this orc is unnecessarily quick-witted.
