41 Fallen Angels (1)
Zion was aware that there was really not much time left before the seal was lifted.
Therefore, rather than the standard strategy of breaking through the front door, we chose a strategy that blows away the enemy’s stronghold from the beginning.
Because the core, which is the center of the seal anyway, was deep underground, and I thought it would be able to withstand one impact.
And the strategy seemed to work pretty well.
With the castle surrounding the seal, half of the enemy’s power was blown away, and at the same time, the sealed core was discovered at once.
“ Stop it… … Stop it!!”
The remaining demons stared blankly at it, then came to their senses and started running towards Zion.
But they could not reach Zion.
“ Demons, all disappear from this world!”
“ The light is with us.”
It was because they were all blocked by the power of the Church of Light who had come together before.
Kwagwagwagwang!
Is it a stick that instantly turns into a battlefield?
Kwajik!
‘It must be an elite force.’
Shion, who instantly pierced the heart of the demons that rushed at him, thought as he looked at the battlefield.
Even though the demons guarding this place belonged to the strong side, they were being swept away without even responding properly to the attacks of the Paladins and Battle Priests.
A scene where you can see the level of the denomination’s forces involved in this operation.
And the one that stood out the most was Paulo.
“ How dare you deceive me!”
After regaining consciousness, knowing all the truth, he apologized to Sion and volunteered for this operation.
Was it because he lost his reason in the conference room and couldn’t show his proper skills?
blatantly!
His image of slaughtering demons with a face stained with a sense of betrayal was definitely better than it was then.
‘ It will be over sooner than I thought.’
With that in mind, when Shion accelerated a little more,
‘ Damn it… … Damn it!’
The demon Dercal, who had survived Zion’s blow a while ago, was watching the scene while hiding his face and spitting out abusive language.
His face was stained with embarrassment.
I never dreamed that I would be attacked in this way.
I’m afraid I’ll blow up the entire castle.
‘ Didn’t you think that nukes could be broken?’
Thanks to this, the subordinates gathered at the front gate were annihilated, and the recipe for unlocking the seal was also in a state of being destroyed.
And even more serious,
‘ Why is the author here!’
The person in charge of the denomination’s power was that ‘Zion Agnes’.
It was the first time I had actually seen him, but he was instantly recognizable due to his dark gray hair and several physical characteristics.
I can’t quite understand what happened.
‘ It is dangerous if it is like this.’
It didn’t matter if we lost this battle, but the problem was the seal.
At this rate, it must be clear that they will be wiped out before the seal is completely lifted.
‘ I’d rather destroy the nukes before that happens.’
Even if the nucleus was destroyed, the seal could be broken.
However, if that happens, the power of the Fallen Angel will be weaker than if it was officially released, so I just didn’t do it until now.
However, this side was much better than having the seal re-established as it is.
Derkal, having gathered his thoughts in that way, melted into the wall and began to move toward the sealed core.
self-
Dercal rushes past the battlefield and approaches the nucleus in an instant.
Stealth was his strongest field, so Derkal’s movements were unstoppable.
In fact, no one on the battlefield, not even Sion Agnes, was looking elsewhere.
‘It’s done.’
And Derkal, who had finally reached just before, reached out a hand to destroy the nucleus without hesitation.
But at that moment,
tuk-
His outstretched arm was cut off without any warning and fell to the floor.
“… … uh?”
At the moment when a stupid voice came out of the demon’s mouth in an unexpected situation,
“ What are you going to do?”
A voice that should not have been heard came into his ear.
Why the hell did this voice come from right next to me?
I’m sure I just saw you standing there.
The moment Dercal, whose face became white, turned his head toward the side where the voice was heard, the figure of Shion far away disappears like an illusion, and at the same time, Kwajijik!
His vision darkened.
* * *
A square that exists in the heart of the City of Lights.
“ After… … .”
There, Elise took a deep breath.
After seeing Prince Zion here last time, she has been spending most of her time in the city in the square here.
Because of this, he even separated from the party, but despite his efforts, he had not yet seen the shadow of Prince Zion again.
“ Where the hell did you go… … .”
A mutter filled with regret that came out of Elesis’ mouth.
Even if they met, there was nothing to do, nothing to say, but she just wanted to see her face once more.
‘ But why did you come here?’
Prince Zion, whom Elesis knew, was never one to move for no reason.
In addition, if you are moving informally while hiding your identity, there must be a reason for that.
at that time,
“ Um?”
A group of people approaching this way caught her eyes.
‘A knight?’
It was the paladins.
Looking at the patterns engraved on the armor, the Paladins, who seemed to be in a fairly high rank, had their expressions as if they were just before battle.
How long have you been walking in the presence of people like that?
The paladins stopped in front of the statue in the center of the square.
“ From now on, we will control access to this place!”
Soon after, one of the paladins, who seemed to be the most superior among them, shouted at the people who looked suspiciously at him.
“ If you are in the square, please leave quickly!”
At those words, people started to laugh.
Because this has never happened before.
What the hell happened, so you tried to let him go without even explaining why?
“ Could you possibly know why?”
“ I can’t explain it yet. We do not have time, so please hurry.”
To the question of one of those people, the paladin shook his head and answered.
“ No, if you suddenly ask me to leave… … .”
When other people start to open their mouths one by one in response to the growing question,
‘ That person… … .’
Elesis was looking at the other side of them.
A man standing alone at a distance from the center of the square.
She couldn’t take her eyes off the man she had just discovered by chance when the Paladins appeared.
He had no external characteristics except for being skinny, but the feeling that such a man gave was very bizarre.
‘ I don’t think he’s human.’
Dirty yet disgusting.
Yet creepy.
Yes, it would have been like this if we were to express the stench of a sewer rotten for decades.
There,
‘ Why is my heart… … .’
The reason was unknown, but from the moment he saw the man, Elesis felt that his heart was beating faster than usual.
Even that was not enough, even the divine power flowing through her body was fluctuating.
It was when he was young that he was embarrassed by the eyes of Elesis.
f*ck!
An unpleasant smile appeared on the lips of the man who was looking towards the Paladins.
It was a moment when Elesis, who felt an instinctive horror from him, unknowingly took a step back.
Bubbly!
The heads of people around the man exploded without warning.
Blood and brain water that spread out from such corpses and splashed in all directions.
“… … ?”
The moment the people nearby, covered in such blood, without even knowing the English language, have suspicious eyes, let’s do it ourselves!
Dozens of centipede-like legs protruded from the man’s body along with a suffocating magi, and began to slaughter those who had not yet fully grasped the situation.
“ Ahhh!”
“ A monster, a monster… … It’s a monster!!!”
Could the screams that erupted with him be a signal?
Numerous demons hiding around the man appeared and began to indiscriminately slaughter the remaining people.
Quad Duck!
As a result, the plaza instantly turns into an abyss.
“ Are you going to kill everyone here?”
Looking at such a square, the man, no, the special magic spirit Gulihur of the Great Castle City, murmured with a satisfied smile.
There is only one reason why he slaughters people here in the Square of Light instead of in Bongji.
It was to quickly replenish the power of the fallen angels to be summoned here soon.
The angel’s power was weakened due to the long seal, and Luminus’ divine power was needed to restore that power.
And the method he came up with to obtain that divine power was to sacrifice the people of this city.
‘ Almost all citizens living in Rezero are believers who worship the God of Light.’
Therefore, the divine power was present in every person’s body, even if only slightly, and it would be an excellent food for the fallen angels.
at that time,
“ Stop the massacre and kill all those disgusting demons!”
Paladins in the center of the square began to rush towards Gulihur and other demons.
Brilliant armor of light enveloping their bodies, and the enormous divine power that spreads around them.
However, Gullifur’s eyes were full of leeway.
“ It would be difficult for you alone.”
The central square here had relatively low importance compared to other seals.
Therefore, the level of the paladins dispatched here will also be lower than other places.
On the other hand, this one was the most elite, including Gulihur himself.
So, of course, the gap had to exist.
As he thought,
Aww!
The paladins who collided with the demons began to be pushed back not long after.
“ Ouch!”
“ The light… … ! Alas!”
Paladins who cannot withstand the attacks of demons and lose their lives one by one.
“ Isn’t it too kind to voluntarily become a source of divine power?”
When Gulihur exclaims with a bright smile, as if he really likes the current situation,
‘You have to run away!’
Looking at the battle, Elysis thought so, and turned her body out of the square.
The desire to help the paladins seemed like a chimney, but there was no way.
It was because Elysis herself was too poor to intervene in that battle.
Obviously, it will be more of a hindrance than it is of no help.
There,
pounding! pounding!
His physical condition was also not good due to his continuously accelerating heartbeat and his throbbing divine power.
‘ There’s nothing I can do here.’
The enemy is too strong and he is too powerless.
A deep sense of despair and defeat in her eyes.
It was when Elesis, who had turned away from the people around him who were being slaughtered, was about to step out of the square.
“ Aww! Mom! Mom!”
She saw a child crying, caressing her dead mother’s corpse.
Have you just turned three years old?
A very young looking child.
“ Human cubs are very noisy.”
Was the cry annoying?
One of the demons nearby reached out to the child and fired a Magi’s bullet.
Tuoung!
A bullet that advances rapidly while aiming at the child’s head.
But the bullet did not reach the child.
Kaang!
Before that, someone who had stood in front of the child was thrown away by the unfolded shield.
And that someone is
“ Damn it.”
It was Elesis who spit out small swear words.
she knew
It was an act of suicide to deal with those demons with one’s own power.
However, the moment he recognized that the bullet was being fired, his body moved on its own.
“ Does the garbage even stop the garbage?”
Good luck!
Looking at such Elesis, the demons muttered as if in a strange way, and started to cohesive the magic with their fingertips again.
The magnitude of the power he felt was incomparable to what it had been before.
However, despite seeing such a cohesive Magi, Elesis did not step aside in front of the child.
Of course, she knew all too well that she couldn’t stop the attack.
It was because I had barely blocked that bullet a little while ago.
However,
‘You have to keep it.’
I couldn’t ignore it any longer.
No, I didn’t want to leave.
If you can’t protect one such child, how can you have the right to repay Prince Zion?
A young, firm will in Elesis’ eyes.
thud! thud! thud! thud!
As if responding to that will, her heart and divine power beating more strongly.
“ I’ll pierce your heart with you.”
Finally, it was the moment when the Magi’s bullets, which had become much more powerful, were fired from the demons’ hands.
Whoops!
The world Elesis saw slowed down.
very slowly.
A shock wave that slowly spreads around in concentric circles with the bullets of Magi approaching through the atmosphere.
In such rapidly accelerated cognition and thinking, the words of her mother in the past begin to come to mind in Elesis’s head.
‘ Ellie, you are more special than anyone else. Remember it well.’
It was a word I had heard countless times, but at the same time I couldn’t understand its meaning.
But with that mother’s words,
‘ You are special. Think carefully about that special.’
The moment the voices of Prince Zion, who came to mind, overlap each other, my heart is pounding!
With the beating of the heart, which has reached its peak due to enlightenment,
Paah!
The divine power that had fluctuated inside of her extended behind her back and began to form a pair of brilliant wings.
* * *
“ Has it been unlocked already?”
same time.
The seal of the castle where the battle has just ended.
“ Things are going to be fun.”
There, after receiving a report about something from an informant sent by Narie, Shion smiled coldly.
“ This may be enough to get more compensation.”
Such Zion’s eyes were not looking at the core of the sealed core, but at the center of the city in the distance.
