Episode. 22 Trial of the Gods (4)
It was hard to see Pauline’s castle as a castle anymore.
The walls were covered in grayish flesh wherever the eye could see, and veins wriggled across the surface.
It looked like the inside of a giant creature.
“ha… … .”
Moritz’s complexion turned pale.
More than anywhere else, the ship has a terrible stench and margi.
he felt it
That I can’t stay here long
It wasn’t like a compromise with himself.
It was a limit that could not be helped as a living being.
“Ugh… … .”
“Keuek-!”
Hundreds of monsters roamed outside the citadel.
Each one has a different appearance, but one thing was certain.
They were nothing like undead.
‘what. What about those monsters?’
Moritz, who had killed a lot of signs, covered his mouth.
Monsters were reflected in his wide-eyed eyes.
Some are as big as houses,
Another one is as black as a shadow.
Some of them had bat-like wings.
They are not undead created by dying.
From birth, it was something that was a creature from ‘the other side’.
Could Richard possibly know the identity of that bastard?
If it was that guy who acted like he knew everything, that might be the case.
Moritz took a closer look at the monsters to explain to him later.
What a terrible creature they were, the momentum emitted by hundreds of them was stronger than most first-class knights.
Is it really the elite of the elite?
‘Oops… … .’
I feel sick to my stomach.
It seemed like vomiting would come out at any moment.
Eventually, the spirit that had become sober began to spin again.
Can not be done.
The mission isn’t over yet.
Having made up his mind, he killed even more.
“Queueek!”
The castle was filled with monsters, so there was no room for hiding.
So Moritz did something crazy.
It was going through the monsters.
The ability to hide to the extent that it should be said that it is a gift from heaven.
They didn’t recognize Moritz passing right in front of them.
But Moritz was also dying.
Not only did it consume a lot of energy, but the tension that it would be over if I made even one mistake tightened my heart.
Soon he miraculously arrived in front of the citadel.
When I looked up, it seemed as if the demons of the whole world were gathered at the top of the castle.
‘Are there the riches Richard mentioned about over there?’
Moritz swallowed.
There was an unusual atmosphere that the demons gathered as if they were about to explode.
Just looking at it, it felt like they were preparing for a terrible disaster.
‘First of all, I have to find a bead.’
He looked down intently.
I knew I couldn’t do anything about it on my own.
That’s how I risked my life and wandered around the evil fortress.
However, no matter how much I searched, I couldn’t find the beads.
The same goes for the outside of the fort, and even more horrifying inside.
In the worst case, he thought that he might be by the side of the rich.
Time goes by, but there is no progress in work.
If I stayed here a little longer, I would go crazy.
He finally made a decision.
Rather than looking for an invisible marble, I decided to destroy ‘that’ that looked so dangerous.
Moritz’s gaze turned to a place outside the fort.
A huge lump of gray flesh.
At first glance, it looked like a giant’s heart, and it wriggled and beat every now and then.
Kududeuk-!
A grotesque sound rang out.
Soon something ripped open the flesh and howled.
It was a monster covered in a yellowish fluid presumably amniotic fluid.
The torn flesh regenerates and repeats the wriggling.
From what I’ve seen, that lump of flesh gives birth to a monster.
And that too at a very high speed.
It was easy to infer that the monsters that filled this castle were born there.
Moritz went on, holding back disgust and fear.
Significantly reduced presence.
Even breathing stops, and the feet are silent as if they do not touch the ground.
Although he had never learned or practiced, Moritz’s stealth was superior to anyone else’s.
This was a gift from heaven.
‘Calm down, let’s stay calm.’
I dug under the drooling monster.
I passed a guy with a blade attached to his body.
“Keye!”
The monster with a good sense of humor suddenly let out a scream.
The blind limbs sent chills down Moritz’s spine.
The remaining distance from the flesh was only five steps.
He moved his feet as if he were walking on a blade.
once.
twice.
third time.
Just two more steps to go.
Then, at once, he could raise an aura and tear the flesh apart.
It then swallows the seed and quickly returns.
It was a crude plan that cost no one’s life.
But he didn’t think of failure.
Because he had to tell the association what he had seen with his own eyes the past few days.
He hardened his expression and was about to step out.
“Ugh… … ?”
A huge eyeball was pushed in front of Moritz.
A monster with dozens of eyeballs all over its body.
the guy laughed
Pooh!
Right after that, an arm thicker than an ogre struck Moritz.
“Khehehe!”
“Kirruk!”
I swallowed even the bursting moans,
I didn’t have the ability to maintain stealth after rolling to the ground several times.
In an instant, monsters gathered around him.
Quaang, Quaang-!
Violence that pours out straight away without context.
“Keep, keug… … !”
His violently chewed left arm was torn.
I screamed as if all the bones in my body were about to crumble.
Beneath the mountain of monsters covering his body, Moritz made a desperate move.
can’t die here
I have to live and tell you everything.
I need to get rid of that crazy piece of flesh.
Is the fact that the mission comes to mind before death is evidence of one’s spiritual growth?
hard-,
He crushed the seeds he had barely shoveled into his mouth.
In the midst of the pain that came over me, an unknown taste lingered in my mouth.
It is not a sense of sweetness or bitterness.
The expression “brilliant, holy” suited this taste.
Paaa-!
A light welled up between the dark monsters.
They backed away, flinching as if they had been burned.
“Get out of here, you f*cking monsters!”
In the meantime, Moritz jumped out.
‘The whole body is full of vitality!’
Broken bones, flesh and muscles ground by sharp teeth were also regenerated.
The seeds he chewed and swallowed were the embodiment of Adele’s power, ‘life’.
In addition, the 200,000 faith contained in it added strength.
It was said to be a lifeline, and it really lived up to its name.
A bright light exploded from the tightly gripped sword.
It was a light that closely resembled Richard’s mana characteristic, divine power.
Why did the trait suddenly appear?
Moritz twisted and weaved the divine power and pulled out the Holy Aura.
The ship consumed more mana than usual, but it was fine.
‘Cause I’m full of power now
“Aww!”
The monster’s claws cut through his forearms.
Fists overflowing with demonic energy flew from all directions.
Some dodged, and some raised their swords to block them.
I had to collect the rest with my body and roll over and over again on the rough dirt floor.
“go away! Get out!”
Moritz jumped up and ran towards the disgusting lump of flesh.
Did the will not to lose oneself work?
He was finally able to reach his goal.
Pooh-!
A mushy, unpleasant sensation passed through the sword.
Moritz gritted his teeth and swung his sword again.
His specialty, the quicksword, unfolded much faster than usual.
How many times have you gone through the tenacious flesh?
Kwajik, I heard the feeling that something hard was breaking at the tip of the knife.
Then the flesh bubbling and melting.
“ah!”
It became.
finally, finally it’s over
Now, in front of Richard, I can proudly say that I have completed my mission.
From noble mtl dot com
Moritz, whose complexion brightened, suddenly ran outside the castle wall.
With his hand, he breathed divine power into Nar’s fangs.
“Ugh, hahahahaha! Disgusting monsters! You all searched for it later!”
◈ ◈ ◈
“For Hor!”
Wow-!
The battle did not stop in Rio Castle.
The undead attacked irregularly from time to time.
I wonder when the dead were regular, but these days something was different.
It was like an unbridled colt.
“You did a good job.”
Richard muttered as he watched the knights tossing and turning with the corpse.
The marble that Moritz had broken.
The result gave rise to the current sight.
Gradually, the final chapter began to appear.
Two large stars rose above Chuck’s raised hand.
Soon after, Richard raised his finger and pointed to the place where the undead were gathered, and two stars shot out.
Kwagwawang-!
An explosion sounded and the light exploded continuously.
Every time that happened, the knights seemed to gain strength, greatly boosting their morale.
“It’s just bastards anyway!”
“Hor is with us!”
“Don’t step too far out there! Keep the ranks, baby! ”
The commanding officer’s cry to control the vigorous knights.
A hymn that resonates beautifully, as if comforting the despair of the battlefield.
A cluster of lights on the arms of the knights.
Rio Castle has once again lived up to its old reputation as a second fort.
As the religious people gathered one by one, the castle itself seemed to radiate light.
“… … .”
Anyway, the victory was leaning hard this way.
Richard took a step back from the castle wall and looked into the distance.
long time for that
“come.”
Richard, who had been standing still as if he had stopped by himself, brightened his eyes.
Jumping over the wall in one month, he rode a star and fell into the middle of the battlefield.
Then, the knights who swung their swords eagerly sent their gazes.
It seemed to be waiting for some command.
At that, Richard nodded and opened his mouth.
“Moritz is coming back. Let’s open the way.”
“insect! I’ll make sure there’s not a single monster!”
The knights pounded their chests and replied.
The corpses that were persistently clinging to them began to be processed at a faster rate.
gooh-
In addition, two stars rose high above Richard.
The faith that formed the two sword stars burned like the sun.
