249. The Guardians
“I will be your new haven.”
It was clear that the voice had reached him.
The continental horizon seen from the royal rooftop. So many souls woke up and started coming to me that I couldn’t even see the ground.
While Stella and Lucia are still blocking the cloud of divine power.
I quickly move on to the next step.
Duuung!
He didn’t say anything, but when Owen saw me take out the second magic stone, the Jungstone, from my arms, he continued playing with more passion.
Souls who listen to the performance and come to me.
Still, half of Gray Pond was covered by a cloud of divine power, so it took some time for the souls to come to me.
Whoa!
A golden breeze blows.
A butterfly larger than ever appears above Gray Pond, blocking the divine power that falls like drizzle.
Spirit King of Light.
And Erica Bright is on top of it.
Blonde hair blowing in the strong wind. Erica reached out her hand towards me and began to use mana in the wind.
Then the speed of the souls approaching me became much faster.
Thanks to this, the divine power has begun to be blocked to some extent, and there is no hesitation in the movements of the souls.
Following Owen’s performance, they approached Graypond as if biting each other.
“Whoa.”
A heavy stone held tightly.
It has just begun, but next is the second magic I prepared.
This time, it’s not just about making your voice expand. More complex and detailed.
I spread my unique magic to the continent.
[This is… ….]
The dark spirit who was next to me let out an exclamation. Her body, which was closest to her, gradually began to take on vivid colors.
She is not only her.
All souls.
All souls on this continent reveal themselves through my magic.
“aaah!”
“What, what! Belton?!”
“Oh, father? “He passed away last year!”
Screams from citizens erupting from Graypond. Since I had already been saved by spirits or separated through my magic during the time of Romuleus, there was less of a fuss.
Other cities probably don’t have this kind of chaos right now.
All the dead wake up after hearing my voice and also appear.
In addition to the dizziness, a fishy taste pierced my tongue and nose to the point where I felt like my brain was filling up with blood.
The magic doesn’t stop.
Continuing to give form to souls.
I show everyone the world I have seen so far.
For now.
The boundary between life and death drawn on the continent disappears.
“Look… ….”
Most people would think that this magic was for the dead, but in fact, when I first came up with this magic.
Strictly speaking, this is magic for the living.
It was my warning.
The continent is in danger.
The dead should not be the only ones to know.
“Continent, open your eyes.”
My voice still continues to spread across the continent.
Beyond the Griffin Kingdom, the Clark Republic and the German Kingdom. Beyond that, even the Han Empire and the Principality of Balestan.
Numerous countries beyond, whose names are not even known, are surely listening to my voice.
“Lift up your head, don’t be afraid.”
This was a duty.
The living had a duty to watch over the dead leaving for the future.
“Those who breathe on this earth. “Look at those who were the continent’s past but have now become its future.”
Ghosts floating in the sky and coming to me. They were saying goodbye to the continent in their own words.
Salvation of the continent.
It can indeed be said to be a great achievement, but it should not be carried alone like Aria in the original work.
The sight of the hero who saved the day by hiding in the shadows without anyone noticing is truly magnificent, and his heart flutters with emotion.
I think.
Is that really true?
If the salvation of the continent is reversed, it will be the destruction of the continent. The beginning of destruction and the signal of the end.
Extinguishing it by yourself would certainly be a great feat that no other feat could compare to.
So what’s next?
Heroes in comics and movies always say that.
You just have to live with a smile.
Today too, people’s ordinary days were protected.
Even if no one recognizes me, I am satisfied with that.
No.
No.
Wrong.
That shouldn’t be the case.
Kept everyone’s bright smiles?
We have protected the daily lives of people leading to tomorrow?
A great hero is satisfied as he leisurely retires beyond the dusk horizon?
Bullsh*t.
“You must not be ignorant.”
You need to know.
Only in this way can we realize, think, and develop.
In the face of the great truth of the end of the continent, ignorance becomes a sin.
“We must not turn our eyes away from the truth of the continent.”
The continent will be in chaos.
So many souls are coming here that the ground is not visible.
“Enlighten.”
What were we in danger from?
And in what way were we saved?
Who are the people who saved us?
Once again.
“Continent, realize.”
I warn them.
The ghosts were awakened through the remaining magic stones of Luanes.
Through the central stone, I activated my unique magic and warned the living on the continent.
Last.
Let’s take out the horse stone.
Quang!
The dimension was warped and the door to a general store suddenly appeared next to me.
Now, the final step.
Finally, you can turn the stone into a huge preservation gem that holds souls like the Lemegeton.
Wow!
Raises mana and floats it. The stone begins to shake violently, and soon begins to receive the souls that have come to visit me.
The hand that was outstretched as if to hug the stone trembles. An excessively large amount of souls and the mana they contained were pouring into the stone.
It gave off violent vibrations and weighed heavily on my entire body.
‘It’s working properly.’
A magic that all competent wizards have finished calculating, saying it is perfect.
A treasure of mankind that goes several steps further than the Remegeton created by Learic.
Land of rest.
This was the name I gave to this gem.
I can’t say anything in shock. For a moment, I was in a state where I couldn’t do anything, but I wasn’t anxious or trembled.
Because there are people who will protect me.
* * *
“Off.”
The blood-soaked Finden child wipes away the blood and sweat and exhales.
“Huh…….”
Zhang Lun, a warrior of the Han Empire and a monster magician, kneels on both his knees and sighs.
The corner of his mouth was already stained with blood, and the wolf that appeared in place of his left shoulder was horribly cut and rolling on the floor.
The corpses of the necromancer who had been helping him were also completely torn to pieces, making it difficult to reassemble them.
“It was quite fun.”
During the fight, we didn’t even have time to smoke, so we could call him a strong enough enemy.
Now, with a cigarette in his mouth, Finden Eye raised his blood-stained red eyes.
Zhang Lun humbly stuck out his neck.
Shut up!
One of Dante’s warlocks, Zhang Lun, has fallen. Breathing out a deep puff of tobacco smoke, Findeneye looks around again.
Now, the clearly visible souls were entering the jewel floating in front of Deius.
The blue gem was gradually turning black from the bottom.
‘Will it end when it’s full?’
I can tell that there is still a long way to go because it has a very subtle black tint.
But Finden Eye was not impressed and put the snow white on his shoulder and smoked his cigarette again.
Deius Verdi’s magic never fails.
Such faith.
So, he is confident that as long as he protects Deius, he will be safe.
Findeneye was still on guard, not relaxing.
Gulp!
Under Zhang Lun’s corpse, a pool of deep blood began to murmur. Like an artificially created fountain or a soup that has been heated and started to boil.
The pool of blood continued to emit violent reactions, and surprisingly, a man appeared from within it.
Short blonde hair.
Well-established muscles were closer to those of a soldier than a warlock.
A man that Findenai had already faced once.
Blood Mage Pelestan.
“He was definitely in prison.”
Even as he said that, Finden Eye took his stance again. I was ready to kill whoever jumped out.
“We end up fighting again.”
The blood mage’s expression was unusual. He looked like a cow brought to the slaughterhouse, not wanting to fight.
In fact, the blood splattered around the area was crawling toward Pelestan.
“I really hoped that was the way to save this continent.”
Pelestan glances at Deius, sighs, and pours out his honest feelings.
Cheoeok.
Pelestan takes a stance.
The clotted blood rises around him, creating an ugly scene.
The atmosphere was clearly different from the previous fight in Rometiu Forest.
At that time, Findenai unilaterally pursued Pelestan, who was running away, but fought.
Now, the will to fight from the front has been seen.
“Just as you are trying to protect the memorial hall, I am saving Luanes.”
“Whoa.”
The Finden child took a long puff of tobacco, stuffed the butt into his tobacco box, and then responded angrily.
“If you’re going to tell a story, get out of there, idiot.”
“Hmm… ….”
“The kid talks a lot. I hope the master’s way is right, but would you kill him for your leader? “f*ck you, why is it so complicated?”
A series of battles immediately follows the powerful enemy named Zhang Lun. Pelestan is, in name and reality, Dante’s second-highest combat power.
I know it will be a fiercer battle than Jangrun.
Finden Eye felt a surge of strength throughout his body. My body moves much better than when I first fought, and it feels like it’s been oiled with blood.
Get blood and recover your stamina through the hands of a blood ancestor.
On the other hand, the opponent is a wizard who deals with blood.
They can be seen as compatibility with each other. Findeneye didn’t think about such things.
Just fight, kill, and protect.
Why?
“The reason is simple.”
“… ….”
“f*ck, because I want to stay with that guy until the end!”
Quang!
Snow white hitting the floor roughly.
Her fierceness spews out in all directions, making even Pelestan take a step back.
A bright smile painted on the lips.
“Okay, I guess there’s nothing to think about complicatedly.”
From Noble mtl dot com
The spheres of blood gathered in Pelestan’s hands spread out in all directions around her, countering the fighting spirit of Finden Eye.
Like that.
For the sake of someone precious to each other, two people rush towards each other.
* * *
At the same time as the battle between Findenai and Pelestan began.
The dark spirit who was assisting Deius next to him senses a deadly threat flying from behind.
[…] ….]
Deius, who is accepting souls into the land of rest, is currently out of his mind.
Finden Eye has already begun the battle with the enemy.
Therefore, the dark spirit gradually removed his hand from his shoulder and turned his body.
A man appeared, slowly floating above the rooftop of the royal palace.
Disheveled white hair. A crow mask that covers the face. Lastly, a cursed staff that has taken the lives of countless people.
Ruaneth is bound to death, spewing out sticky and ominous black mana from her entire body.
No, it was the appearance of Herald Hazard.
[You said you would leave it to us, but have you changed your mind?]
A man who gave up his beliefs because he wanted to accept death as Ruanes.
This time, he became Herald Hazard and came to protect his beliefs.
“… ….”
He said nothing.
He just lives as if he is possessed by something that wants to destroy all the souls that Deius Verdi is summoning.
From there, the dark spirit recognized that something was strange.
He had previously wanted to die in Ruanes, leaving his beliefs in the Lometio Forest.
He did not seem like a man who had entrusted the fate of the continent to Deius, saying he was asking for a favor.
Intervention of the gods?
I thought maybe that was the case, but I didn’t think the dark spirit would be a big problem.
If you think about such things one by one, you will be the first to disappear.
The man in front is Herald Hazard.
The strongest warlock of all time on the continent, according to numerous warlocks.
[I will surpass your legend someday. I promised that.]
Mana filling up the dark spirit’s entire body.
Even though it cannot be said to be in perfect condition because it is a soul.
The dark spirit slowly turns his head and looks at Deius Verdi’s back.
[Because we have already said goodbye.]
With my back to him.
The dark spirit’s purple mana began to howl harshly towards Herald Hazard’s mana.
It is not in perfect condition.
When I was alive, if I had a body, I would have been able to handle a lot more mana and a lot of magic than I can now.
There was only one condition: to protect that man.
During his life, the dark spirit master was convinced that he could not show any more outstanding skills than now.
“… ….”
[His own teacher is the greatest warlock on the continent.]
Is that why?
A faint smile was drawn inside the translucent cloth covering the mouth.
[I finally have a chance to prove it to my student.]
