In the middle of a mix of failed half-man, half-beasts and successful demons, Zip Seong-je raised his hand.
Everyone except Noah and Julius reacted to that movement.
“Intangible sword.”
Those who were knights all at once formed an intangible sword in the sky above the mansion.
One hundred per person.
The sky is filled with darkness.
Eighteen thousand eight hundred intangible swords aimed at just two people.
“Take it.”
The moment the intangible sword started to fall, Noah and Julius rushed towards the house.
‘I have to stick to him as much as possible!’
With the power to control demon beasts, Jipseongje even manipulated people who became demon beasts.
That means that the intangible sword is also being manipulated by the Zettsei.
‘Then he wouldn’t pour it all over himself!’
With the power of the Disaster Level Elixir, it seems that you can counter up to 8,000.
But that’s not it.
To withstand that number, he had to reduce the number of attacks as much as possible.
If you just get hit, you die from being crushed by the mass.
Shoot aaa!
Seeing the pouring intangible swords, Noah activated his brain power.
Sequentially step on the swords flying towards you and jump towards the enemy.
In the rain of intangible swords, Noah reached the first Seongje.
Against Noah’s attack, he responded by creating a staff out of shadows.
After concentrating self-defense on the back of his hand, he strikes the cane out in front of him.
Taang!
Then, he wielded the dark moon in his other hand.
The opponent hit the side of the sword to push it away, and took advantage of the speed of the bounced staff to whirl around.
Spinning with centrifugal force.
However, the trajectory is large.
Taat!
Noah’s legs wide open and the kick explodes.
The trajectory of the staff is distorted by the kick.
In the gap created by that, Julius’ sword skill exploded.
but,
“I see everything.”
Using the shadows created by the many intangible swords, Zipseongje moved to a far away place to avoid the attack.
Noah frowned at the sight.
“That guy. You seem to have a knack for swordsmanship.”
“That is what I think.”
From noble mtl dot com.
It wasn’t really a deadly link, so there was nothing to regret about being blocked.
However, the response of the guy who blocked it was very natural.
‘Is it a demon from a knight?’
“In Night Ray, there were Mines who seemed to be specialized in combat. On the other hand, I thought that guy was the type to use the special ability of supernatural powers, but if that’s the case, I’ll have to be careful even in close combat.”
In the meantime, as the distance widened with the Jipseongje, the intangible sword struck again.
The two split into opposite sides and rushed to avoid the sword technique.
Shu Shu Shuk!
While moving forward, I saw Julius forming an intangible sword.
However, the intangible sword Julius created disappeared into the world of shadows due to the opponent’s superpowers.
– How can that not work?
-It’s difficult because he’s more familiar with his abilities than I am. Unless you’re aiming for a fleeting moment… … .
If it wasn’t an attack that was determined and aimed, it would be difficult to fight with superpowers.
In the first place, isn’t it his own ability?
It couldn’t be helped that Zetseongje was better at handling that ability than Noah.
‘Ranged attacks won’t work against him.’
A direct blow with a sword.
It also required a solid blow.
‘There must be a skill that avoids turning into ashes. So what is needed is a certain skill that will blow it to ashes.’
Coincidentally, Noah had a technique that was perfect for him.
world collapse.
However, since the collapse of the world required a process of overlapping collapse phenomena, gaps inevitably arise.
– I have a way. Hold on to his feet for a moment.
-Is this the technique that blew the ceiling earlier? I get it.
“Isn’t the intangible sword working? command Stop attacking and supply me with an aura.”
Zee Seongje, who kept trying to keep the check, took the intangible sword and began to accept the aura directly.
When nearly a thousand auras were concentrated on one person, even Noah, who had faced a disaster in person, couldn’t help but be nervous.
“It feels refreshing. Where should I check my condition?”
Puck!
The body was hit first.
The sound was heard later.
aaang!
Making a crater on the ground and shutting himself up, Noah reflexively got up and vomited blood.
“Cool!”
Even while his eyes were dyed red, his sixth sense followed the opponent’s position.
‘crazy!’
The aggregate agent was not in a magical state.
Nevertheless, with only the amount of Aura, he demonstrated his physical ability to easily exceed Noah’s runaway state.
‘Is that just punching?’
flew in and hit
It wasn’t any special skill or the effect of superpowers.
He just hit his fist with overwhelming force.
What was also surprising was that in the midst of this, the Emperor attacked both Noah and Julius, and Julius somehow blocked them.
“Hoo?”
Behind Julius, an incontinence stretched out on the ground like a tree root for a hundred meters.
It means that he succeeded in controlling the power of the attack to the point where the ground he was standing on did not collapse while sending it to the ground.
“Awesome. To be honest, I didn’t expect it to be like this.”
“I have never hoped for anything like your expectations.”
The sword light flashed, but the Zhengshengje was no longer there.
‘It’s so damn fast.’
Unlike Tara’s teleportation, that was an applied technology that created a shadow world, put herself in it, and then went through the process of coming out to the other side.
It is difficult for Noah, who is not familiar with the ability, to follow, and even if he did, he would not be able to do it so quickly.
At least not in combat. I could be sure of that.
“I can hear the eyeballs rolling from here. Let me make a decision with certainty.”
Beep!
While holding a cane and engaging in hand-to-hand combat, an explosion is heard.
Seongje relentlessly aimed at Julius.
I only aimed at Julius.
‘this!’
Noah hurriedly intervened and separated the two.
“senior!”
“I can’t help it. Noah, what you see from now on is a secret to others.”
“yes?”
Julius opened his eyes.
Brilliantly shining purple eyes.
Noah knew these pupils.
‘Don’t worry… … !’
“The limit I can hold on to is 3 seconds.”
If it was long, it was long and if it was short, it was a short time.
Besides, those 3 seconds are the story of when the sage doesn’t run away with his superpowers.
But Noah didn’t grumble and nodded.
Then Julius disappeared.
High-speed movement that Noah missed.
Julius, who appeared behind the back of Zit Seong-je, struck a powerful technique without any preparation.
“Grand Cross.”
A golden cross that splits the earth.
An attribute converter endowed with three or more characteristics exploded on the sage.
“Oh… … !”
This time, the always relaxed housekeeping system was quite embarrassing.
“If an aura is involved in using a supernatural ability, the aura itself should be sealed.”
keying!
“good! Noah!”
charge is at a minimum level
However, due to its nature, it is not a skill that only increases the range when collected for a long time, but increases the damage.
The sword clad in the collapse of the universe cut through the aggregate.
‘trap?’
It had a taste.
I really cut my opponent.
It’s too easy.
‘Dangerous!’
The moment he thought about it, Noah threw himself back.
At the same time, a large amount of auras contained in the body of the agent exploded.
* * *
“Hoo? Did you react in the meantime?”
Zee Seong-je admired Noah, who was knocked down by the explosion.
Noah lost consciousness, but it was surprising that he survived the self-destruction.
The one that Julius had been holding onto until now was the alter ego of Seishuja.
No, this body that appeared after the explosion was also an alter ego.
Since his body was born, he had never left the shadow world behind the Stellarium Imperial Palace.
It was for this reason that Zitseongje did not fight directly with others.
The farther you are from the main body, the more time lag will occur in the manipulation of your alter ego.
As an alter ego, you can’t even use magic beasts, so it wasn’t suitable for direct combat from the beginning.
“Is he really the son of a sword demon?”
During the battle with the alter ego, Noah was continuously reading the battle interval of the Choseije.
‘There are a total of 3 intervals used by the alter ego.’
1. The defense limit line, which is the minimum distance that can be defended using the shadow ability.
2. The battle interval preferred by the Zitseongje himself.
3. Attack Threshold, the maximum distance at which valid attacks can be made.
At the moment of self-destruction, the housekeeper opened the first gap that had never been given.
Noah felt a sense of incongruity in that respect and reacted with his body before understanding with his head.
“How can you feel that kind of feeling even in a pure human state without magical beast transformation? I want to take it and make it into a mine.”
“Do you think I will leave it like that?”
Julius wrapped his arms around the fallen Noah and blocked the series.
“Of course, the recovery of the sarcophagus comes first.”
A situation where Noah collapses and no one can stop his ability.
As before, the Seongjeje restrained Julius’s body.
He slowly approached and retrieved the sarcophagus that Julius had turned his back to.
Then he came back in front of Julius and grabbed his chin.
“Take good care of your eyes.”
“Eat sh*t.”
Charreuk!
Blood splattered on the face of Zet Seong-jae.
The intangible sword that appeared in front of Julius’ eyes cut off his own eyes as soon as it was created.
Slitting out his own eyes while being held captive.
“This, this child… … !”
What happened in an instant was visibly disconcerting.
“Do you know what you just did! The only three evil eyes in the world… … !”
“Better than handing it over to you.”
Julius laughed.
Jipseongje was furious, but he had no choice but to take the sarcophagus and leave.
The flames were approaching nearby.
That fire was not just a fire, but a living flame.
Cocoa’s heart sword is added to the flame created by Theodore’s heart sword.
If you are entangled in that flame, you will be unable to use your abilities.
From noble mtl dot com.
It was okay to lose this alter ego, but the sarcophagus had to be retrieved.
“Wait and see! Next time we meet… … !”
“What are you planning to look at?”
Fuhuaak!
At the same time as the voice was heard, the body of the head of the house was set on fire.
What appeared with the flame was one of the Imperial Executors, Master Night Theodore.
“How did you come already? Did you abandon the civilians of the city!”
“That’s because Daemu-nim decided to take care of it.”
Theodore said as he pointed towards the sky.
There, a bird made of flame was scouting around.
In addition, beasts such as deer, rabbits, bears, and squirrels made of flames were gathering around the witch’s mansion.
The self-confessed flame created by Theodore and Cocoa’s mind-sword motive divided into countless animal forms to protect people and subdue demons.
The turmoil in the city is already being suppressed with the ability of just two people.
“It looks like you managed to escape from Regina-sama, but you won’t be able to escape from me.”
“Keugh!”
Theodore’s flame burns itself.
This flame won’t go out unless he wants it to.
Once it was set on fire, it was already impossible to escape or use its abilities.
“I will not forget this humiliation! Ribery!!”
Jipseongje collapsed into a small corpse as it was.
This body was just an alter ego, but thanks to that, it was able to protect the black sarcophagus.
“I am too late. sorry.”
“no. It’s because I was prepared to be in danger at the point of participating in the mission.”
Shortly thereafter, Cain succeeded in capturing the White Witch.
With that, the Sanctum Keep incident was effectively ended.
About 13,000 casualties.
About 400 missing.
The Sanctum Keep incident ended like that,
The Empire announced the existence of the Precursors and declared war against the organization.
* * *
To prepare for the transport of the captured White Witch, the Executioners had to remain at Sanctum Keep.
However, it is a situation where we are worried about the threat of the organization to send back only the trainees first.
It was decided that Noah and Julius would remain until things were sorted out and return with the bailiffs.
Julius had to rest for the treatment of his eyes.
During that time, Noah faced Cain.
Feeling helpless for the first time.
Noah felt the need to be strong beyond simply wanting to be strong.
“Teach me swordsmanship.”
A man who has reached Master Knight eight times with different sword techniques.
Cain was also the best teacher Noah could meet at this point.
“Even if you grow up as you are now, you will become Master Knight before you turn 30. Why are you in such a hurry?”
“It’s too late if it’s like that.”
Noah’s eyes were firm as he said that.
Just like Enya from the past.
“I can’t help it.”
“… … ?”
“I didn’t want to teach you because it might be dangerous, but if you want that much, I have no choice but to teach you.”
“That means… … !”
“I’ll teach you how to overcome the only weakness of the battle.”
