Episode. 23 Towards the End of the Nightmare (2)
A group of undead invaded Rio Castle again.
Corpses that were out of control of the beads were attracted to the holy energy.
Among them, a large number of those who were knights stood out.
Of course, they weren’t that dangerous to the current union.
“Don’t be vigilant and deal with it.”
I told the knights who were snorting as if they were going to charge at any moment.
It is said that when thousands of mosquitoes gather together, thunder sounds are heard.
“Chuwoong! I will come and find rest for them!”
“Now, open the gates!”
Koogoo Palace-
The huge gates, lined with iron plates, opened with a creaking sound.
In the meantime, the knights with ranks advanced.
Now it shows the courage to deal with it with a sword, saying that even arrows are a waste.
“Good good! I will finally wield my holy sword!”
“for a moment.”
I caught Moritz trying to join the ranks.
It was so funny to see him holding the holy sword he received the day before in his arms.
Wasn’t he busy grumbling about unfairness until yesterday?
“why! I’m busy, so just tell me your business.”
“Do you know how to use that holy sword?”
At my words, he became a mute who ate honey.
His expression asked if there was such a thing as how to use it.
“Give me.”
I snatched the sword from his bosom and swung it around. Nothing special happened.
Well, after all, the lowest-class holy sword doesn’t have the ability to stand out.
There was only one ability that a relic of this level would have.
“Now, put some mana on the sword.”
He handed the sword back and said.
Moritz followed my words with a bewildered face.
Then I was startled and focused on examining my body.
“My body is full of energy… … ! Is this a blessing from God!”
The ability of the lowest-grade holy sword is none other than a buff.
It’s not a big deal to me who can use faith freely, but it will be of great help to this guy.
As if to prove him, Moritz shook his hips while holding the sacred sword that was burning with soft light.
As soon as I was ready to run to the battlefield, I grabbed hold of it once again.
“Oh, why!”
“I told you how to use this, where did you get your temper?”
Mr.
When he opened his eyes, he flinched and shut his mouth.
“I said You became a paladin.”
A special ability that can be obtained by becoming a paladin, conversion of holy power.
According to my thoughts, it is the power to change mana into divine power.
The key is the ratio.
I needed to know how many units of mana and holy power were converted.
When asked if he had ever used divine power, Moritz opened his mouth.
“Only once, I used the same amount of mana as yours in Pauline Castle. You mean that’s the power of a paladin? oh my god!”
“okay. What is the percentage?”
“About 2 mana and 1 divine power. It will be somewhere around there.”
It wasn’t very effective.
However, being able to use mana with a different nature was truly surprising.
Especially when it comes to divine power.
The image of numerous paladins exuding divine power immediately came to mind.
That must be spectacular.
“okay. Go see.”
As soon as my words ran out, Moritz ran out.
Hearing about the divine power, he seemed even more excited.
“The hero of Rio Castle has arrived! Fear the holy sword of this body, the holy power!”
“Chwiiik! Comrade, you got a really nice sword!”
Only one idiot was added, but the battlefield was louder than any other day.
Even though I was alive, I felt like I was too alive.
That’s when you get a big nose injury.
“dad.”
It was time to look down on the battlefield from the top of the castle wall.
Adele came over and took my arm.
For some reason, his expression was full of questions.
“Is that a real holy sword? It’s too pathetic for that kind of thing.”
“It’s the lowest-class holy sword, so there’s nothing we can do about it.”
“At that level, a saintess who has just attained her qualifications has bestowed her blessing.”
“That is a very accurate expression.”
Adele’s unintentional pack width is bitter.
But I didn’t care too much.
My godhead will grow soon.
By sacrificing high-ranking Demon Liches.
Then again a lot will change.
“Wow!”
I was awakened from my thoughts by the sudden resounding cheers.
Looking at the battlefield, the battle was already over.
It was a very tense fight.
From noble mtl dot com
“The timing is good too.”
I murmured while looking at the sweaty articles.
To put it simply, the current union was a situation worth living for.
Faith warms your back.
The followers also sang songs, and the undead that had been harassing them were now funny.
Since everything is going smoothly, the tension is bound to be relieved without realizing it.
one didn’t
The real enemies still have their eyes wide open, so what’s the point of being careless?
“I’ll come to my senses if I pack my things and get through the magi.”
Adele from the side said the right thing.
I smiled and nodded.
The light-filled Rio Castle is a paradise on earth compared to the outside.
It’s time to get out of here and taste the spicy taste.
“I’ll start as soon as I’m ready.”
Just in time, Leo and I met eyes.
As if he had noticed my thoughts, he said with his mouth that he would hurry up the preparations.
After all, it seems that the commander’s position is not for everyone.
I looked all over the castle.
I saw 1,700 knights, all of whom have now become my followers.
In addition, the elves and the choir.
These days, about 140,000 believers come in every day.
And the amount currently contained in my soul is about 1.3 million.
I was able to accumulate this much even though I spent sparingly here and there.
It was no small amount, and it was a weapon that was no joke.
“I also came up with a way to make fun of those who do mean things.”
Oh, I look forward to it.
He made eye contact with Adele and smiled.
◈ ◈ ◈
Pauline Castle was silent.
Hundreds of monsters stood still like stone statues under the mighty force.
Eliminate the intruder-
That was the only order given by noble demons.
kugu country-
At the top of the castle where the three liches were coiled, an ominous energy shook as if about to explode.
The ritual to open the rift was at an end some time ago.
They put a great deal of concentration into perfecting the plan.
I had to go through a lot of hardships to get here.
Only half of the kingdom was sacrificed, and the work could not proceed smoothly.
At least one kingdom had to be swallowed up by Magi.
But I couldn’t help it.
A fire that is too big will attract more people’s attention.
If they did something wrong, strong people who could not deal with them might come forward.
For example, the old man who wielded the stars.
But now it’s all over.
If this ceremony is properly completed, the Demon King will descend and envelop the world in flames.
An unpleasant aura could be detected in the distance, but it was a very weak light.
Cowards who only shrink from demons will not be able to dare to stand against even the demons guarding this place.
Wasn’t it a castle that wasn’t captured on purpose anyway?
They are just shields to cover up their plans.
The three liches thought so and completely immersed themselves in the ritual.
I cut off all connections with the outside world and added more focus to my concentration.
It could be said to be ecstasy.
No, it was a level of quenching beyond that.
It was because I had been concentrating on my consciousness, cutting off all distractions for tens of days.
Not knowing that it was a huge mistake.
Now that time has passed, the flame that was weak in Rio Castle, which they looked down on, was now burning splendidly.
◈ ◈ ◈
“Magi is getting more ferocious. We must cooperate with the knights before they get out of hand!”
A boy made a strong argument.
However, his claim had very little realization.
“Brother Alan. Collaborating with ignorant knights is an absolute no-no.”
“It has been a while since contact with Poland Helga, whom I have worked hard on for a long time, has been lost. The knights must have already figured out our intentions.”
On the other side of Paulin Castle, in this place where wizards gathered, there was no one who supported the knights.
Rather, they were the ones who used this opportunity to trick the knights.
“Even if the knight wins, even if the owner of that demon wins. Isn’t that what we just have to do to be fishermen? Even if those knights expect an ambush, they probably won’t be able to deal with it right now.”
“It is. Opportunities like this are rare.”
Alan watched the action and bit his lip.
If he was an ignorant knight, he would be trembling as well.
But now this was something different.
“Oh oh! Look at that mighty demon! Doesn’t it look like the night sky?”
The wizards cast their eyes on Pauline Castle even as they cast sight-enhancing magic on my eyes.
Was it an illusion that the ecstasy passed by in the eyes looking at Magi?
‘it’s crazy. They must be crazy.’
Alan frowned.
I personally joined the magic union led by Roland Gar to give a shot to the stupid swordsmen.
‘Knights are annoying, but mad wizards are even more disgusting.’
It wasn’t like this from the beginning.
Clearly, there was a time when they were also shuddering with demons.
If it was really bad, he would have doubled and tripled the barrier magic.
But it seems that even that was too much.
After inhaling a small amount of demonic energy that flowed through the barrier for several months, it seemed that he had lost his mind.
Suddenly, Alan gritted his teeth and stamped his foot.
“Relax! Are you really wizards who seek the right truth!”
His voice, full of magic, awakened the spirits of the wizards.
It was only then that those who had been staring at the devil in dismay cleared their throats.
It was difficult to ignore the cry of a genius born with the greatest talent of all time, even in the Marx family, the number one magic house.
Perhaps in terms of skills alone, this young boy will run at the top of the coalition.
“I’m sorry, Master Alan. We made a fool of ourselves.”
Roland Gazoo, who hosted the alliance, bowed his head to Alan.
It was a very respectful and respectful attitude, but Alan’s expression hardened even more.
It was because it was obvious how many snakes were living inside that fine mask.
“… … Seize the opportunity right. As you said, cooperation with knights seems to be over the water, so I’m saying that I’ll aim well at being a fisherman.”
Alan left the room with those words.
A lofty aspiration lingered in his mouth as he moved his rough steps.
‘If I erase all the knights in this world, my next enemies will be all wizards.’
And next will be all heterogeneous races except humans.
“For a world without swords and magic.”
