Episode 69 .
The northern western wall had already been torn down by Fenrir.
It was a spacious entrance 100m long, so it was enough to accommodate the countless demi-humans that surged in like a tidal wave.
The beasts were rushing back to their homeland.
Passed through the broken barrier, crossed the gorge, and stepped on the ice cap.
From far away, the humans watched it with pitying eyes.
The war was won, but the beast eradication failed.
By the time most of the demi-humans had left the empire’s territory, Fenrir, who had been wary of humans, also turned around and looked at the ice cap.
Then it was the moment to leap into the gorge.
A keen sense of smell responded. A body odor imprinted in my brain. He tilted his head toward the approaching sky.
A human was flying, tied to a giant arrow.
The moment our eyes crossed each other, a human body flashed.
At the same time, he disappeared, and before he knew it, he was facing Fenrir right in front of him.
The wolf couldn’t help but panic. It was the first time since I was born that I couldn’t follow the movement of another creature with my eyes.
Mobility corresponding to the cognition of the King of the Beasts. Also, that wasn’t the end.
The knife cutting against the providence began.
The man lowered the blade from top to bottom. The sound of cutting through the atmosphere could not keep up with the speed and came half a beat late.
At that time, Fenrir’s one eye was already torn out.
The process that lasted for a moment didn’t even allow me time to feel the pain.
The knife comes again. towards the heart.
Fenrir was overcome by a strange sensation.
It was like a sense of incongruity in which only the man and himself remained in a space where time stopped.
No, the man’s time was passing much faster than the wolf’s.
The only ones that stopped were wolves, other deities, and humans.
Fenrir felt a distant wall.
I decided that I couldn’t avoid the knife aiming at my heart.
So I twisted my upper body with all my might. The blade pierced the skin, but failed to reach the vital point.
It seemed to have narrowly escaped it.
It was the best, and even such a response was possible because Fenrir was the greatest beast king ever.
However, this estranged time is not over.
The knife came out and pierced his neck this time, and Fenrir moved his square muscle to avoid a fatal wound. He didn’t die by a span.
A series of processes were repeated hundreds of times. The wolf, whose whole body had been slashed, was in tatters, but his lifeline was clearly attached.
And finally, this bizarre phenomenon that was far from common sense came to an end.
Yuriel’s blessing, which lasted just one second, was over.
The man chewed his lips and thrust the final blow into the beast’s trapezius muscle.
Only then was Fenrir able to return to reality.
I immediately turned my gaze to the man and knew who he was.
At the same time, the tattoos on Aiden’s body glowed white.
The moment a small shield encircled Iden, Fenrir saw a blazing fire.
A pillar of fire soared up into the blue sky, devouring Aiden and the beast. It caused a series of explosions with the momentum to burn all the oxygen.
aaang! With a roar that cut heaven and earth in two, red-hot flames engulfed the sky.
And the two crashed together into the canyon.
*
The demi-humans and humans in the vicinity intuited the whole scene, but could not understand the phenomenon.
Immediately after something that flew out of nowhere touched Fenrir, it exploded.
That was all they knew.
Everyone just stared at the smoke that engulfed the air as it hardened.
At that time, the ridge of a snowy mountain before the perpetual snow.
As soon as Uriel heard the heavy drinking, he put his hand on one of Aiden’s severed arms.
He rolled up his sleeves. The power of lion resuscitation wrapped around a pure white wrist. I instinctively knew how to use it, so I immediately activated my ability.
However, nothing happened.
Kairos, the leader of the Imperial Knights, looked at Yuriel with a nervous expression.
“…there is no response.”
Uriel said in a low voice.
“It means I am not dead yet. He must be in terrible pain.”
After thinking for a moment, Kairos took out a dark red greatsword and said.
“No matter how much I think about it, I can’t wait here. Let’s go, everyone. We must help Lord Aiden.”
Aiden gave them two orders.
If the lion resuscitation does not respond, wait in the snow mountain.
The other was a guideline that the subjugation operation would begin the moment Iden was resurrected using the arm as a medium.
Now that Aiden wasn’t dead, the thousand people had to follow the former.
Therefore, Kairos was disobeying the orders of his superiors.
There was nothing he could do about it. If it wasn’t for now, the opportunity to slaughter Heilang would never come again.
In a way, it was a matter of the future of the empire.
Gielan looked at Kairos like that.
“Young friend, don’t act rashly. If you are the one who leads the knights, don’t you understand more than anyone else? It is an unwritten rule to top-down, according to the command.”
Kairos said as if he was frustrated.
“Old man, of course he is important, but isn’t the situation different now? Priorities need to be clear. I don’t have time to do this.”
Sachilie Swordsman nodded and opened his mouth.
“That’s right. If you wait in a daze, you will miss the opportunity.”
Giellan looked at him and smiled.
“This is the part that represents the reason your sword can’t reach me. Everything is not basic.”
In an instant, the air cooled down. The swordsman in Sachili looked at Gielan with cold eyes.
The relationship between the two could not be unknown to the people of the Empire. Enmity and rival. Also, one of the two was the strongest swordsman of the time.
At that time, when the feeling of intimidation was pressing on all sides, Grand Marshal Landalen of the Demonic Command Army opened his mouth.
“It is a question without an answer. However, I will trust Lord Aiden.”
The crown of the highest rank of the Ascension also nodded.
“You can voice your dissent during the meeting, but once the operation has begun, you will have to. It’s a possibility he created in the first place. He didn’t even say a word when he killed the spirits. I guess I have a plan this time too.”
Kairos scanned the thousand ligaments with his eyes.
Like the swordsman in Sachilie, there were quite a few people who agreed with his opinion.
The knights of the Imperial Knights were usually like that.
he said biting his lip.
“We will go too.”
As Kairos gestured and was about to turn his back, Euron spoke in a slightly trembling voice.
“Oh no!”
A little taken aback, Daryl snatched Euron’s arm and stopped him.
“Hey man!”
Many people looked at Euron, who was seated behind the ballista.
Kairos said in a cold voice.
“What did you say?”
“I said you can’t go.”
Most frowned.
“Do you think this is your place to step in?”
The Cheonindae here was no ordinary army. Each person was a person in charge of an important position in the empire, or it was composed of those who were at the top of a field.
From noble mtl dot com
The fact that Euron and Daryl are in this group is absurd. It was the result of being somewhat forced as Iden’s seed.
I was in charge of carrying the ballista. I wouldn’t be in a position to give an opinion.
Euron was well aware of that fact, but he had no choice but to open his mouth.
“I’m sorry. But you must not break the order. It was always this single action that made a difference to his plans. Please, keep this place. Please.”
Kairos narrowed his brows.
“Lord Aiden hasn’t been resurrected, so now is the variable. But, do I have to explain it to you? Don’t cross the line.”
Euron bowed his head.
“Ah, Lord Aiden assumed this situation as well. If the lion resuscitation doesn’t respond, didn’t you order it to stay? Now is not the time for us to be proactive.”
Daryl sighed and said.
“Actually, that is true. For example, if the aim of the crossbow is f*cking right and you fly away in the wrong direction, of course you have to move. However, it is not like that now, Captain.”
Kairos put on an expression that he couldn’t even pray for the audacity of the servants. Giellan laughed, and Chiron opened his mouth.
As a 2nd Person Aspect, she was qualified to speak.
“that’s right. I also have a memory of disobeying his order and almost being disappointed.”
Jude and Goat nodded at the same time.
It was an anecdote about when he met a nine-tailed fox and broke his command not to follow him.
If you were stubborn, you would have been killed.
Spear Knight Lockharin, who had been listening quietly, looked at Kairos.
“Kairos, I know how you feel, but for now let’s believe in the hero. He told me to move in three hours. Until then.”
Kairos’ eyes shook as if deeply conflicted. After a while, he sighed and approached Euron.
Then he said in a low voice.
“Servant, if you want to preach your will, have the right qualifications. It’s a minimal courtesy. Just because you serve a hero doesn’t make it your status. Be mindful.”
It was a fact that Euron was well aware of.
“Bird, I’ll listen.”
Kairos left only those words and turned around.
Grand Marshal Landaren floated a watch in the air.
“Two hours and half left. Let’s wait.”
*
The canyon that borders the northern part of the empire and the ice cap.
The far-off valley was an abyss submerged in darkness.
It’s been that way for hundreds of years, but not now.
This is because a blue glow lit up this place without a single ray of sunlight.
It was the soft glow of the wolf’s eyes.
Fenrir turned into rags, and Iden, whose entire body was tanned.
The wolf managed to stand on its four legs, but Iden leaned against the wall with his eyes closed.
Fenrir stared at Iden and let out a cool voice.
“… you’re alive.”
Aiden is not dead. However, it was not a human form.
The melted eyes did not open, and the upper and lower bodies were almost separated.
Fenrir doubted whether the being in front of him was human.
Aiden struggled to open his mouth.
“Let’s make a deal.”
“what?”
“I will free your people.”
Fenrir strode forward and looked down at Iden.
“Are you begging for your life?”
“right. It’s your life, not mine.”
Aiden intended to save Fenrir if possible.
If the wolf kills Iden, the subjugation begins. Because of the severe wounds, even Fenrir would not be able to survive.
“That sounds like bullsh*t.”
Fenrir raised his huge paw.
Aiden opened his mouth.
“I don’t die. Also, the nine-tailed fox is alive.”
Fenrir frowned.
“It is a fact that we already know.”
“It will be quick. I saved him.”
“He knows too.”
“I killed all the other spirit creatures.”
“What do you want to say?”
“You stupid beast, roll your head. Aren’t you trying to unite Ain?”
The throne of beasts is empty.
“This is your chance to have a monotheistic God. Go find the heads and kill all the young deities they are trying to uphold.”
In that case, only Saya remains as a beast with divine status.
“In addition, if you succeed, I will free the Ajin slaves. Do you know what I mean? You have nothing to lose in this deal.”
If Fenrir refused the deal and killed Iden, Iden intended to kill the children of the spirit creatures himself.
In short, even if the wolf didn’t accept this offer, Iden didn’t get a fatal blow.
The power of resuscitation of lions, and the time required to find cubs.
And he would only lose his future ally, Fenrir.
It wasn’t a fatal injury to the extent that the development would be smashed. Although it hurt.
Fenrir snorted.
“It’s a cunning tongue.”
Then he stomped his front paw down.
A pile of broken stones scattered in all directions.
