68 Attack on the Demon Temple (2)
“ Fortunately, you seem to be out of breath.”
A low voice came from the abyss that seemed to suffocate.
It was the voice of anger, one of the four great princes who now had only two left.
“ Yeah, it was the right time for him to cut off the side. Now, the Empire side will not be able to move for a while.”
In response to the words of anger, Acrimosia thought of the agent, Igmaha Levia, in her head.
A being who suddenly came and confronted their king, and then immediately turned to the side of the devil.
But that didn’t mean he listened to them.
So I had no idea where I was going.
They had the same power as them, so they couldn’t control it either.
‘ I don’t know what you’re thinking.’
But for now, I was just leaving it alone to help.
“ Now we have to use this to push out the other two. Before the Imperial Army stirs up the inside of the Demon Station any longer.”
“ I know. But before that, why don’t you finish the Suinhae side completely? I think now is the right time. The sea is behind them, so they have nowhere to run.”
“ Hmm… … Surely that could be better. If so, concentrate your troops on the eastern outskirts… … .”
It was time to nod his head in anger at the frantic words and try to say it.
“ A message has come from the future! There was a saying that it should be delivered as soon as possible because it is urgent!”
One of the servants ran to their place and shouted.
“ What is it?”
Acrimosia, who had questionable eyes at him, asked.
It was a future plan that had not said anything since the last prophecy made a few months ago and had cut off communication with them.
‘ Is that kind of guy trying to speak in such a hurry?’
And the young doubts in those frantic eyes deepened the moment Suha spoke.
“ The shadows of eternity cover the root of the devil. This is what the future planner said.”
“… … what? what is that… … .”
At that moment, Acrimosia was about to ask Suha.
“ Duke, it’s a big deal!”
Another subordinate demon ran inside with a more urgent voice.
“ What are you doing again?”
“ Damsungjeon, something happened on the deviljinjeon side!”
At those words, the faces of the two archdukes began to harden at the same time.
* * *
In the past, people thought that the world they lived in was flat and that infinite cliffs existed at the end.
No, even now, with the development of magic and engineering, many people knew what the world looked like, and Milleon Jeffrey, the leader of the Knights of Agnes, was one of them.
However,
“ Huh… … .”
He was realizing that his perception was wrong.
It was because the appearance of the world he was looking down from outside the atmosphere where he was now, from above the sky, was so round.
The infinite and black sea of darkness that stretched out with him.
The reason Milleon is here with the Knights of Agnes and Yvelin was simple.
An attack on the Demon Goddess, which was decided at a meeting of the top management just recently.
Because this was the starting point for it.
‘ Is this really possible? … .’
With that thought, Milleon recalled this operation devised by his emperor.
The detachment, which moved above the three demon shrines while climbing high enough that the demons’ eyes could not reach, fell down at the same time in line with the battle that would take place at the inland border.
Originally, it was a really absurd plan.
Aside from the impact of the fall, it was impossible to first raise the detached wing to the outside of the atmosphere.
But Emperor Zion made it so simply.
Just through the floating city of Adegripa and the light dragon Obergia.
Whoops!
A small artificial island on which he and the Knights of Agnes stand now.
This island was created with the essence of all the floating hextech the dragon and the floating city have ever achieved, and perfectly protected him from gravity and the bizarre environment outside the sky.
‘ It is not enough to come up with a method like this, but also the driving force to implement it immediately. It’s really surprising.’
When Mileon looked at his emperor with such thoughts, Sion was looking at the vast space above, not the blue and round world.
No, it is correct to say that we are looking at countless stars that exist in such a universe.
‘ The world I live in now is also one of the many stars I see out there.’
If that is true, it would be as if an infinite world was unfolding before his eyes.
A normal person would have gotten tired of just realizing that fact, but Sion felt a strong desire.
The desire to have all the world he is looking at right now in his hands.
‘ If we end this war and end our contract with the gods… … .’
I didn’t know maybe I could satisfy those desires.
at that time,
“ Looks like the time has come.”
Evelyn, who was looking at the border of the inland area with a transcendent view from the side, murmured in a low voice.
In her eyes, the image of the Imperial Army just marching towards the demonic demons came into view.
“ Then let’s start this one too.”
The moment Shion smiled at him and turned his head down,
crispy!
At the same time, the artificial island turns into powder and scatters,
Whoa ah ah ah ah!
The new model of the detached wing, which stood on such an artificial island, began to fall downwards.
* * *
In the four demon shrines that exist in the demon realm, demons with special powers and status existed.
They were called demon priests, and they stayed in the temple area for the rest of their lives and devoted their lives to maintaining the temple.
Therefore, it was usually a very quiet Demon Shrine, but now one of those Demon Shrines was very noisy.
“ Hey, what the hell is that?”
Not only the demons who muttered like that, but also the eyes of all the demon priests in the temple turned towards the sky.
No, it was correct to say that we were looking at a shooting star that was falling straight down from the sky.
A meteor that is approaching the Demon Shrine at a tremendous speed.
“ Attack… … It’s an attack!!!!”
As a result, embarrassed shouts erupted from the mouths of some demon priests who finally realized the identity of the meteor.
Whoa!
With that cry, a huge hemispherical shield began to surround the entire demon temple.
Such a shield had tremendous strength enough to block even the highest level of 9th level magic, but tuquaa
The moment it collided with a meteor, it shattered and exploded like a glass cage without being able to hold on for even a single moment.
As it is, a meteor that crashes into the ground outside the demon temple and causes a terrifying light and explosion.
Soon after, in the place where those lights and explosions disappeared,
“ All troops.”
Evelyn, who raised her sword wrapped in brilliant light to her eyes, and the Knights of Agnes standing behind them, scattering a terrifying force behind them.
“ From now on, we will make a way to the central temple.”
Tuhwa Hahak!
As soon as Evelyn finished speaking, the new types of all knights, including her, were shot straight ahead.
“ Stop all those humans!”
Demon priests protruding from the inside to stop them.
Soon after,
aa
A terrible clash began to take place between them.
The countless swordsmanships that cut through the atmosphere and even space, and the bizarre magical products that block them.
quagga gaga!
Is it really Ibelin Agnes, who is said to be an outcast in the seven heavens, and the Knights of Agnes, who is said to be the strongest of the Empire?
“ Never stop.”
Even within the realm of the temple, the demon priests who could unleash the same power as the top demons also began to be pushed out without being able to properly confront them.
Tuquaang!
Victory that wanes in an instant and the road that begins to open.
However, the young light in the eyes of the demon priests who were dealing with Evelyn and the Knights of Agnes did not disappear.
No, on the contrary, there were demons who even had a relaxed laugh.
“ Is this all? Then you will never be able to reach the central temple.”
Of course, there was a reason.
“ The moment you attacked this place, that fact has already been conveyed to the abyss. The Archdukes must be moving by now.”
With a little patience, one of the Grand Dukes will arrive here and the situation will be completely reversed in that moment.
“ In other words, you have no chance of winning.”
However,
“That ’s right.”
Evelyn’s eyes, responding to the demon priest’s words, were unbelievably calm.
No, not only her, but none of the knights who were driving the demon priests away were not shaken.
As if he had anticipated this situation.
“ But I never answered yes to the question that this is all.”
“… … What?”
It was a moment when the eyes of the demon priests were dyed with doubt at Evelyn’s words.
—————————!
A voice came from the sky that seemed to tear the world apart once more.
The heads of the demon priests were lifted upwards with him.
Soon after, a meteor falling towards the temple once again came into their eyes.
It was smaller in size than just before, but the meteor was scattering something more sinister and foreign.
“ Maybe… … .”
The eyes of the demon priests looking at the shooting star begin to shake without mercy.
“ Well, sometimes it’s not bad to act as a bait.”
The moment Evelyn looked at them and said with a smile, quaa
A meteor fell over the empty central temple as the demon priests came out to stop Ivelin and the Knights of Agnes.
“ Oh no, that place… … stop it! Everyone go back and stop it!”
The demons, who seemed to be the heads of the demon priests, shouted at him, but it was not Evelyn and Mileon who left it as it was.
“ You are turning your back on us. Quite insulting.”
Suga, go, go!
With those words, hundreds of silver swords blasted out of Mileon simultaneously cut through dozens of demon priests that were around.
A space that splits apart with him.
“ aah! These damn bastards!”
The moment when a cry like the howl of an animal erupted from the mouths of the demon priests who were forced to turn their bodies again.
The second battle between the Byeoldongdae and the Demons has begun.
* * *
The ruins of a temple that was destroyed by a falling meteor.
‘ Did it fall exactly to the center? You’re lucky.’
In the midst of that, Shion slowly got up and thought while looking around.
In Shion’s eyes, a huge dark-red sphere was coming in from a distance in front of him, beating like a heart.
‘ Mahak (魔核).’
A piece that can be said to be the very core of the core that spreads and maintains magic throughout the entire magic area, including the Demon Shrine here.
If you break that demon core, you will be able to turn a large part of the demon’s territory into a land where common creatures can live.
at that time,
“ Where did you come from here?!”
With a loud shout, the space split open, and two beings came out of it.
Demons with two large horns on their foreheads that look similar to old human beings.
It was the high priests who presided over the entire demon hall here.
“ How dare you damage the sanctuary of a demon and even bring in its dirty feet! That sin must be repaid with death!”
The moment that cry ends,
thud! thud! thud! thud!
I wondered if the magic core would be beating faster, and dozens of dark red lines that burst out from it were connected to the High Priests.
With him, the space inside the temple is distorted, and the laws of the world are twisted and re-established in it.
Ded Ded Dude!
The air that screams and falls and the magic of the High Priests rises rapidly.
“ May the blessings of the devil dwell here!”
The ranks of the high priests soaring in an instant were beyond imagination, comparable to those of the previous grand dukes I had seen before.
‘ That’s… … .’
Zion’s gaze was not directed to them.
The resonance that is taking place between them and the magic core.
No, it was precisely what was happening due to such resonance.
Time that changes irregularly with the laws of the world being re-established.
Zion had already experienced a similar phenomenon several times.
That was when the ‘Five Questions of Kronos’ was triggered.
‘ Is the power contained in the magic core related to time?’
On the lips of Zion, whose eyes lit up with that thought,
‘ Maybe I can get to the 8th star much faster than I thought.’
The moment a thick arc is drawn,
Shrek-
The brightness in the temple began to drop rapidly.
