Episode. 25 Lesser God (1)
“Wow!”
From noble mtl dot com
It was also the cheers of victory, and it was also a roar containing the resentment and hard work that had only been piling up.
we have won
The knights shouted with all their might so that their comrades who died and went to heaven could hear.
And soon the cry became the words of a song.
“Shine a lamp in the darkness.”
“Come on, light the lamp.”
Those who looked up at the black sky lowered their eyes.
There were comrades who had fled among the hideous piles of corpses.
“Who will save that brother?”
“Brother, how are you locked up?”
“You quickly see the light of the lantern.”
It was a very quiet voice.
But the song they sang was louder than any shouting.
“After the dark night.”
“Is the sun rising like a lantern?”
“Brother, how are you locked up?”
pop.
At some point, the song stopped.
The last verse had an owner.
The knights looked at Richard.
“… … .”
Richard’s eyebrows furrowed.
Sing a song out of nowhere
However, contrary to his heart, his mouth was already open.
I saw the faith in the faces of the men who turned to him.
If the saint Richard sings a song, the deceased comrades will leave in peace.
[Brother, you are already locked]
[For those eyes cannot see the light]
[Please feel the heat with your whole body]
A brilliant light suddenly appeared and covered everything.
The knights looking at him and the numerous corpses scattered on the dirt floor were all without exception.
It was clumsy, but it was Richard’s own memorial and consolation.
“… … Your singing skills are better than I thought.”
After the song ended, a knight made a joke.
Judging by the amazement in both eyes, it seemed that he was impressed by Richard’s singing.
“Of course not as much as us.”
“Everything is good, but there is no spirit in the song.”
“Right! The song is the beat. cancer!”
The knights took off their serious attitude and joked around.
It was clear that if I didn’t do that, I would be limp.
“These! Hurry up and take care of it!”
Under the command of the commanders and Richard’s impetuosity, cleanup of the battlefield began.
He collected the arrowheads he had shot without sparing it, and gathered the dead bodies and weapons.
Blazing-
Bright red flames danced in front of the collapsed Pauline Castle.
The knights surrounding him stared at their fellow engulfed in flames.
Some of them shed a few tears that they had been holding back while listening to the choir singing.
“Richard. over there… … .”
While everyone’s eyes are gathered on the flame.
Moritz spoke to Richard with a white face.
He was pointing at Pauline Castle with his finger.
“Shh. I know, so don’t tell me.”
However, Richard forced Moritz to remain silent.
It is a catastrophe that cannot be prevented.
Curse of Calgos, the Red Plague Chariot, one of the legion commanders under the Plague Lord.
The terrible thing fell on Paulin Castle.
As long as he showed up for a moment, it was a natural progression.
cooing,
The remains of the citadel shuddered. Between the stones that made up the castle, red, shiny flesh pulsated.
◈ ◈ ◈
The war was over, but Magi did not disappear easily.
Pauline Castle and its surroundings had already become a land of death, and the devil’s magic that covered the whole world remained, albeit faintly.
The Union still went up north, breaking through the vicious demons.
Although they were exhausted from exhaustion, the commanders increased their speed without rest.
“There is nothing good about being exposed to this filthy energy! Don’t even hold your breath!”
“Those who are about to go crazy, go to Saint Richard’s side!”
“Hey, kid! There’s a madman next to you! Send it to the saint right now!”
As they hurried the steps to return, those who showed abnormal symptoms appeared one after another.
They were showing incomprehensible violence, such as tearing off the horse’s back or banging its head.
“Tsk.”
Richard, who glanced back at the head of the crowd, clicked his tongue.
Is it because the fatigue of the mind and body has reached its peak?
One by one, those who were trying to get through the magic became contaminated.
If the symptoms continue like this, it will become a demon.
“Abalt!”
“yes!”
When I called for the commander who had lost his head, a quick answer came from behind.
“Send me all the guys I call out!”
“insect!”
Richard opened the system window and started calling names one by one.
“Maurice! Aaron! jack! Blow!”
As he continued to call his name, the number of knights taking the lead increased.
What are you trying to do?
To call knights who were exceptionally close to each other, many of those who had never even spoken to Richard were called.
While Leo and the knights who had advanced ahead were looking at them curiously, Richard sang the last knight.
“and… … Abalt!”
“yes? Ah yes! I will go now!”
Abalt, who I had not expected to be called, hurriedly stepped forward.
Soon, thirty knights rode side by side around Richard.
“You have become paladins.”
Richard spoke the surprising news.
The knights called out widened their eyes.
Some showed a thrilled expression, while others showed a puzzled look.
“I don’t think much has changed for that matter… … .”
“Maurice.”
In response to a question raised by a knight, Richard called his older brother.
Then Moritz nodded and drew his sword.
ugh-
White mana and holy power were wrapped around the holy sword that glowed.
It was the conversion of holy power, the special skill of the lowest class paladin.
“You can do it too.”
Richard and Moritz taught me how to use power step by step.
Since the rate at which one’s mana and divine power are converted is close to half, there was also advice not to overdo it.
Woo-woo-woo-
In the midst of Magi’s black tent, divine power gently rose from here and there.
“oh my god. It’s a very pure energy! The day will come when I will be able to use mana traits for the rest of my life… … !”
“Oh oh! Horsi!”
The paladins made a fuss as they saw the holy power burning in their hands.
It seemed that he was thrilled to be able to use the mana characteristics he had only envied in his heart.
“Since when did we become paladins?”
“When you guys hugged and screamed at Pauline Castle.”
Originally, there were only three lowest-class Paladins that Richard could accept.
However, right after the war ended, his godhood rose, and thanks to that, he was able to accept the lowest 30 Paladins.
Richard looked at the paladins with a hot gaze.
Putting it together like this gave me a new feeling.
As if a knighthood had been formed just for him, his heart was reassuring.
He decided to give the first mission to the paladins.
“Now, the poor followers are going crazy with Magi. What should you, paladins, do?”
With a hardened face on his face, he would say that he would encourage his comrades.
Richard believed so.
But that wasn’t it.
“Heh… … .”
The Paladins twisted their lips.
It was an unlucky expression mixed with mischief and pride.
“This is Won. That’s why cowards can’t do it.”
“Our last name. energy. Do you think the priests should use some strength?”
“Ahhh! It’s crazy that this kind of magic is scary. All I can do is yawn!”
They shook their heads and returned to the union gap.
It was so fast that Richard couldn’t catch it.
twinkle.
A white light twinkled between the sweaty men.
It was like turning a light on and off and playing a joke.
“hahahahaha! I’ll turn on one second every time you call me Holy Knight!”
“go away! A guy like you will be disqualified by Hor. Damn you son of a b*tch!”
Hearing the commotion, Richard washed his face dry.
I wanted a solid and reliable paladin, but it turned out that they were like pure bullies.
“I’m a fool for expecting it.”
What are you doing childishly enough to be old enough to eat?
After mumbling a few words, Leo sneaked up to me.
“If you say it like that, I will help you properly.”
“I guess.”
From now on, when the tainted ones appear, I will kick their butts.
“It’s amazing. I never thought knights would believe in God like that.”
Suddenly, Leo spoke in a serious voice.
“Even though they are entangled in religion, they will be of great help to you, Bocchan. You have gained great power. I sincerely congratulate you.”
gained great power.
It will be of great help.
It was quite a sensitive remark for Battenberg’s son.
For the blood that was still immature, power was directly related to the position of the heir to the family.
However, Richard quietly laughed before opening his mouth.
“Why would you pretend not to be Sir Leo and the 1st Templar? Don’t you think it’s my power?”
“hahahaha.”
A short, silly laugh.
There was no further conversation after that.
Because they already knew each other’s heart.
◈ ◈ ◈
castle was visible.
Blood that could not be wiped was stuck to the cracked walls of the castle.
However, it was a more meaningful castle than any other castle to Yeonhap.
Because it was a place where I risked my life to protect it.
“Wow!”
In front of Rio Castle, which was lined with charred corpses, the men screamed.
He seemed to think that the long journey was over.
But what about
The commanders broke the colic properly.
“If you have the strength to scream, organize your supplies first!”
“Damn it, dispose of the body again! Do you have anything to do with the plague!”
“What else is the blood on the walls! It’s obvious that His Highness the King will visit soon! Wipe it off without a single bloodstain!”
It was the reason why the miserable appearance of Rio Castle, which was urgent to protect, was now visible.
The knights became fed up with the command of the commanders who were so tight.
This is too much for me to see.
It was in the midst of thinking that it might be okay to rest for a while.
“huh?”
Helga’s commander Abalt looked at me.
The frown on his handsome face, is it something he wants?
From noble mtl dot com
In addition to that, the commanders who were giving orders were looking at me eagerly.
“ah!”
I realized its meaning.
Seriously, I didn’t notice this.
“Stop moving! Leave the cleanup to the soldiers of the Kingdom of Baren! If it’s not an urgent item to manage, get out of hand!”
“Chu, chuuu-!”
“Thank you!”
The power of Battenberg’s plenipotentiary agent is meant to be used in such cases.
Hearing cheers louder than the roar of Pauline’s Castle, I decided to have another drink.
“It’s a banquet! If you save the country, you can get some meat and alcohol to eat! Ask for food from King Barentis!”
“Oh oh! Holy saint!”
“Horeueu!”
Seeing the guys he likes like a child made me happy.
I blew my nose and moved on.
A banquet is a banquet.
I had other things to do.
“It is power.”
Two new powers acquired as a lower deity.
‘Revelation’ and ‘God’s Eye’.
I was going to try them out.
