33 Monster Legion (7)
“ Goo!”
A painful scream erupted from Horable’s mouth, whose heart was shattered at once by Shion’s sword.
Even so, the monster king, who desperately twisted his body and took out Iklaxia from Zion, turned around and started to run away like crazy.
“ Ahhh!”
A voice full of fear came out of his mouth.
In a way, Horable was like a child.
Since he was just born, he was faithful to his feelings and had no experience to control them.
That is why I was so afraid of this situation now that I met someone stronger than me for the first time, and I just wanted to get out of it as soon as possible.
There was no more arrogance or the idea that he was the pinnacle of such a monster king.
Paan!
Shion, who used a partial lunar eclipse to amplify the Black Star on the side of the bridge, immediately caught up to the back of such a horror.
Obviously, the image of the monster king moving even after his heart was broken was not normal, but there was no question or bewilderment in Shion’s eyes.
‘ Originally, Horable has two hearts.’
read at noblemtl. com
Monster King Horable had two hearts: a real heart and a fake heart, and the one that Zion just broke was a fake heart.
In the first place, the real heart was hidden somewhere other than inside Horable’s body.
‘ But that doesn’t mean you can’t kill me on the spot.’
Even without finding the real heart and destroying it, if you destroyed more than 80% of the body, you could stop breathing.
In the chronicle, the hero also killed the Horable in that way.
Horable will also run away knowing that fact.
“ Aww!”
The king of monsters who turns his body like he’s in a hurry and launches an attack towards the chasing Sion.
Once again, dozens of monster characteristics resided in the monster king’s arms, and he aimed at Shion’s whole body.
An attack with more power than before.
However,
Quajiic!
No matter how strong he was, he wasn’t the type of Zion who would meet the attack that had already lost his composure.
Shion, who immediately smashed Horable’s attack and approached right behind, swung the Iklaxia that had been pulled in a big way.
Scratch!
The king of monsters, whose regenerated legs were cut once again, fell on the floor.
Shion’s sword attacks began to pour indiscriminately through the monster king’s predecessor.
Suga Gaga!
Sion continues to attack with eyes that do not say anything and do not contain any emotions.
In order to somehow survive, Horable rebelled by screaming in the middle, but to no avail.
It was no longer a battle.
it was just a slaughter
Whoa whoa!
The monsters around him tried to come to help the king somehow, but
“ Stop it! Don’t let it interfere with His Majesty Zion!”
With the knights of the Baltic Knights,
aah!
All of them were blocked by handshakes that had dug into the center.
‘ I’m going to die, if I keep going like this, I’m really going to die!’
It was a thought that filled Horable’s head when more than half of his body was blown away by Shion.
His eyes, which are losing their light, and Zion’s eyes meet.
Horable felt infinite fear as he saw the four black stars swirling vividly in Shion’s eyes.
A tremendous presence, as if turning himself into a firefly in front of the sun.
If such a person is not the pinnacle, who else in the world can become the pinnacle?
“ Sa, come to life!”
The moment he realized that fact, an urgent voice came out of Horable’s mouth.
“ Save your life! Bar, if you creep on the floor, I’ll crawl. If there is anything you ask me to do, I will do anything!”
Unbelievable as the king of monsters, a cry that is abhorrent.
However, Zion’s sword attack did not stop.
quagga gag!
Rather, it was faster.
“ Aww! Please save me! Jebaal!”
It was the moment when a cry that threw away even the last pride came out of Horable’s mouth just before he stopped breathing.
drop!
Zion’s sword stopped right in front of him.
With him, the explosively amplified Heukseongha began to gradually diminish like the flames pouring down firewood.
“… … ?”
The monster king staring blankly at Iklaxia standing in front of him.
His eyes were full of doubts as to whether he had even dreamed that he would really stop.
“ I want you to live.”
Shion grinned as if he liked Horable’s last cry.
Shion had no intention of killing Horable from the beginning.
The second reason why Shion chose the monster corps from among the disasters.
Because that was the horror.
“ Why all of a sudden… … .”
“ Why would you kill me?”
“ Oh, no!”
“ Then stop the monsters first.”
“ I see!”
The King of Monsters sent a signal to the surroundings, with a puzzled expression on his face.
The 7th Corps, and the monsters who were fighting frantically with the handshake corps of Riusina, began to stop their movements.
“ I cut off the ankle and block the movement… … uh?”
“ Kill all the f*cking monster bastards… … ?”
Was it only then that you felt strange at the sight of the monsters who stopped suddenly for a moment?
Drunk in the heat of the battlefield, the soldiers, wielding their weapons at the monsters, began to look around with suspicious expressions one by one.
And in their eyes,
“… … !”
In the center of the battlefield, the monster king Horable, who kneeled and bowed his head, and Shion standing in front of him with quiet eyes came in.
“ Ah… … .”
Along with him, the soldiers, even everyone on the battlefield, stared blankly at him and opened their mouths.
Feelings slowly begin to fill their eyes.
That feeling is none other than
aah!
It was the thrill of victory.
put down your weapon
hugging each other
The soldiers were sitting down and shouting until their necks burst.
The shouts contained the resentment that had been going on for over a year, condolences for the already dead colleagues, and the surprise of this incredible miracle.
“ Really… … Really we win… … .”
Jornan’s eyes, looking at the place where Zion and the monster king were, were also trembling without mercy.
even a few days ago.
No, I never dreamed of seeing such a sight until just this morning when I went out.
only two.
Because there were only two additions to the original corps.
But the two of them produced this result.
A miracle that is hard to believe even when you see it with your own eyes!
“ Ah… … Your Majesty Zion.”
Jornan’s head is slowly bowed towards the person who created this miracle.
His appearance contained reverence for Zion.
“ Ha… … It’s a little stingy, but I can’t help it.”
Unlike Jornan like that, Liusina won the handshake with a dissatisfied face.
Normally, once she started a massacre, she would not stop until she saw the end, but this time was an exception.
It was because I remembered what Zion had said before the battle began, or even before arriving at the fortress.
It was very disappointing, but when I waited by the owner’s side, I thought that such an opportunity would come again, and Riusina soothed the disappointment.
She slowly moved towards Zion.
With him, other Jornan and other knights also began to approach Zion.
“ Did you say you would do everything I asked you to do?”
Shion, who looked at the people approaching him like that, spoke in a low voice that only Horable could hear.
“… … ?”
“ We’ll talk about that later.”
At the end of Zion’s words,
Aww!
Horable’s vision was completely darkened.

A secret branch of the criminal organization Ouroboros that exists in the capital Hubris.
“I ’m annoyed.”
In the office there, Sharin Mei, one of Ouroboros’s executives, was looking out the window with a frown on her face.
“ Are you thinking of him again?”
Diral, the snake-eyed demon who was next to him, asked her as if he was familiar with it.
Diral, who recklessly visited Sharin in the past, has since been recognized for her abilities through various proofs and stayed by her side.
Of course, Sharin knew he was a demon, but he didn’t really care.
The Ouroboros organization itself moved with the goal of destroying mankind in the first place, and she was also ready to join hands with even the devil if she had good abilities.
“ Yeah, there’s still no trace of it.”
Sharin knew that the information power of the shadow she possessed was one of the highest in the capital.
Still, I couldn’t understand why it was so blocked.
Now, I just wanted to find out and crush that face.
“I was originally going to blow it up at this festival, but… … .”
The gray-haired man took away two pieces of the Frost Queen’s power, making it impossible.
Therefore, from Sharin’s point of view, she had no choice but to be frustrated in various ways.
“ The Frost Queen’s shard of power. Haven’t you been looking for another one since then?”
Looking at her like that, Diral asked.
“ I did find another one. But there’s not much you can do with it. We need at least three of them together, but it will be able to do a significant blow to Hubris.”
“ No, not that, but how about using that piece to find him?”
“ What?”
“ These pieces. Wasn’t it originally called an artifact? If so, there must be something that resonates or attracts each other to some extent. Is there any way to amplify that?”
At Dir’al’s words, Sharin’s eyes began to shine.
“ Isn’t that bad? Why didn’t I think of that? If he has the Power Fragment, he might be able to find both.”
“ Well, it must have been hard to think since we had recently acquired a new Power Fragment.”
Diral shrugged his shoulders and spoke to him, but his words were not heard in Sharin’s ears.
“ Call all the wizards in the branch right now.”
Sharin giving instructions to the subordinate behind him.
Her eyes were filled with anticipation and life.
* * *
The deepest of the dungeons of the Steel Fortress.
dope-
There, Horable was fixed to the wall with dozens of restraints hung all over his body.
His eyes were already half dead.
After losing the war and being captured by humans, the end was so obvious.
“ I… … to lose… … .”
A voice of despair that comes out of Horable’s mouth.
To be honest, I still couldn’t quite believe it.
The fact that he had been treated poorly by a human being and begged for his life.
But at the same time, the moment he thought of the human figure who made him that way, a feeling of fear built up in Horable’s eyes.
‘ That gray-haired man.’
Because of that, he lost the war and showed all sorts of ugliness, but nothing like anger or hatred.
Rather, he was relieved that he was lucky to be freed from the situation he faced with.
Where the hell did such a person suddenly appear?
The human woman who summoned the legion alone was also impressive, but it was nothing compared to the intensity that the man gave.
at that time,
bum bum, bum bum.
The low sound of footsteps echoed in Horable’s ear.
His head turned automatically at the pressure he felt from the sound of his footsteps.
And the monster king could see.
“ You, you… … !”
The man he had been thinking about until recently was slowly coming down the stairs and approaching this way.
Fear rises again with him.
Whether he knew his heart or not, the man, Shion, stood right in front of Horable with an indifferent face.
“ The restraint suits you well.”
“… … .”
The King of Monsters bowed his head as if it was difficult to make eye contact without answering those words.
However, he raised his head again at Zion’s next words.
“ You will be executed tomorrow morning.”
“… … !”
“ They are going to be burned at the stake so that not even a corpse is left behind. Dozens of wizards will pour high-level fire magic on you.”
Why the hell did you come all the way here and say this?
Do you want to see yourself howl in terror?
“ So, did you come here to get some medicine?”
“ Is it?”
“… … are you?”
Seeing the horrible changing words quickly, Shion, who smiled bitterly, continued.
“ Do you not want to live?”
At Shion’s question, Horable looked at him as if he was asking something obvious.
All that was left of him was his survival instinct.
“… … Wouldn’t it be obvious?”
“ Then let me live.”
Zion’s voice, saying that he would spare the chief of the enemy who had fought a war just a few hours ago, was so calm.
The monster king’s eyes widened at him.
“ I really… … !”
“ Instead.”
Zion cut off his question and opened his mouth.
“ I have to do what I tell you.”
It was an extension of the words that I couldn’t finish on the battlefield a while ago.
A part of the hunting plan that Zion had devised before coming here.
The prey, of course, was the Utecan.
“ What is it?”
Since he was on the battlefield, he had already said that he would do anything if he saved him.
Therefore, there was no hesitation in Horable’s words about asking Zion.
“ Hand of giants.”
An emotionless voice emanating from Zion’s mouth.
“ Gather the monsters and go there. Then run rampant and wait for the next instruction.”
“ While running… … mean?”
Horable asked as if he did not understand, but Shion did not answer him.
As always, Zion was not the one to explain the reason.
“ Oh, and.”
Before turning around, Shion said to the monster king as if he had remembered something he had forgotten.
“ Give me your ‘real heart’ before you go.”
“!!!!!!”
It’s like going for a walk or going for a walk.
However, it was not so for the listening horror.
How the hell do you know about the existence of a ‘real heart’ that you’ve never told anyone before?
The monster king could not understand what the existence in front of him was.
“ How do you… … .”
“ Because I can’t trust you blindly. Shouldn’t there be collateral?”
With those words, Shion smiled and turned and exited the dungeon.
“ I’m leaving tomorrow.”
With those words, Shion completely disappears from Horable’s sight.
However, Horable’s eyes were looking at the place where Sion was for a long time after that.
the next morning.
The Monster King Horable was officially executed in front of the entire 7th Corps.
But that evening.
No one in the Iron Fortress noticed that something was escaping from the fortress in the dark.
