“Huh! Huh!”
Immediately after defeating Benjamin, as the tension eased, a sense of helplessness came over me as if I had been waiting for it.
It was hard to control my body as if I was drunk.
The pain was blocked, but it was because the body was damaged as the runaway progressed.
Noah’s body continued to break even at this moment.
“Noah!”
Only then did Thiu and Ricardo, who had been watching the situation rigidly, hurriedly run.
The two of them supported Noah as he was about to fall, but that wasn’t the problem.
“Oh, the auror keeps burning. If we don’t stop this soon… … !”
“But the way to calm down the runaway aura again… … .”
Once the aura started running rampant, it wouldn’t stop until it was completely exhausted.
And the complete exhaustion of the aura meant death.
For this reason, the thing the knights were most wary of in training their Aura was runaway.
There were geniuses who quickly learned swordsmanship, but no geniuses who quickly accumulated auras.
Those who tried to collect their aura faster than others died without a single exception.
“Then you’re just going to watch Noah die?!”
“But the way… … .”
“Maybe we can stop the runaway.”
“Ursula senior?”
Ursula calmly sensed Noah’s pulse.
“As expected. Thanks to swallowing the top-notch elixir right before the runaway, his original aura is still mostly intact.”
“That’s right!”
“If it’s the power of the elemental tae, I might be able to cut it off.”
Even if he ate the elixir, if it was normal, it would be impossible to regenerate.
However, this is the Crescent Islands.
It was a different story if there was an aura close to infinity using spirit form.
“If it is Mother Nature’s infinite aura, it will be able to dilute even the runaway state.”
Ursula explained the way she thought, but Noah, distraught, had no time to listen.
“Anyway, is there a way? What should I do?”
“Exhaust the runaway aura to the outside as much as possible. For example, pull your sword skills to the limit. I’ll take care of the rest.”
Noah gripped the sword with both hands and closed his eyes.
It was impossible to calm the runaway aura, but fortunately it was possible to set the direction of the flow.
Whoops!
blacksmith.
A second-level sword skill that comes out of the sword.
The sword spirit of the person who first reached the swordsmith is irregular and small, like water droplets on a leaf at dawn.
It coheses it unshakably, fills in the gaps, and sharpens the blade.
That is the process of mastering swordsmanship.
However, what Noah is doing now is giving up on delicate refinement and simply pouring aura.
Woo woo woo!
Great power is concentrated in the sword.
The sword began to shake under the pressure that would have exploded if it had been a normal sword.
“Keugh!”
It was difficult to hold the sword with a body that was difficult to control properly.
The palm holding the sword was torn and blood flowed.
The vision also began to blur.
I can’t even feel if I’m still holding the sword.
As the five senses were shaken, only the sixth sense of aura remained.
Thanks to this, Noah, who was able to focus only on his sixth sense, was able to drive the runaway aura into the sword without missing it.
Sword energy fluctuates as the aura pours down like a waterfall. The wind blew like a storm with just the flow of the aura.
A collection of enormous powers that even a single student could not handle.
“The wind chimes.”
Mother Nature’s limitless aura descended on it.
Wow!
The two huge powers collided and Noah’s sword spirit disappeared.
“Noah!”
At the same time, Tiu and Ricardo accepted Noah, who collapsed.
“I lost my mind, but my aura is fine. It consumes all the congested amount and is weak, but the original amount remains.”
Ursula looked down at Noah’s Holy Spirit Sword, which had been holding a tremendous aura until just now.
Even though all the sword energy was gone, the black color that covered the sword body was still there.
“Did you just metamorphose with that aura… … .”
It’s been less than half a year since I got the Holy Spirit Sword.
Due to the abnormal concentration of aura, Noah’s sword was completed at an unprecedented speed.
From noble mtl dot com.

After Benjamin fell, Camilla gathered the people scattered around the port.
“You are seriously injured, are you okay?”
“I stopped the bleeding, so it’s okay. I, the supreme commanding authority, cannot just lie down in this situation.”
The first thing Camilla, wrapped in bandages, did was to reorganize the unit around the Temple of the Moon practitioners and detain the remaining Coast Guard personnel.
“What are you doing!”
“Are you kidding me about the situation where demon beasts are pouring out!”
The Coast Guard’s lower ranks were unaware of Benjamin’s plans.
Detained without knowing anything, they were indignant at Camilla’s incomprehensible behavior, but it was a situation where civilians would really be massacred if they rose up here.
As they were forced to vent their anger, Camilla quickly organized the chain of command.
“Send messengers to the maritime defense ships, and send rescued civilians to Havana whenever the ship is full.”
“You should go around Island 1 and Island 7 with the remaining boats, retrieve the Top Sword participants and knight troops there, and rescue the civilians.”
“There are still many isolated people on the inside of the island. Know their probable location and send an investigation and relief force.”
When the chain of command, previously paralyzed by Benjamin’s betrayal, was restored, the organization began to function properly.
Camilla took command of the Provisional Command as Chief Executive.
Meanwhile, Noah had been unconscious all night long and could not wake up.
“Noah! Tiu! You were here!”
“Miho? And even senior Leo.”
“I met the relief team a while ago and joined the temporary headquarters. When I heard you guys were here, I ran right away.”
They, who had been holding on while protecting a group of civilians until the very end, were able to be rescued just before their strength ran out.
Although he was already exhausted enough to collapse at any moment, he immediately ran to the news that Tiu and others were here.
“I thought you were going to die. If it wasn’t for Leo-senpai, I would have really died.”
“I say that, but Miho fought the most courageously. Even though he is the weakest among us.”
“Yeah, how can you stay still when people look at you with desperate eyes saying that a great hero has come?”
It seems that Miho also joined after a very eventful struggle, but fortunately, he did not appear to be seriously injured.
“How is Noah? I heard you’re not feeling well.”
“The aura went wild, but it’s okay for now. He’s sleeping because his stamina was consumed by the runaway. There’s no harm to his life.”
“The Aura ran out of control? But are you okay?”
Tiu briefly explained what had happened to them.
Leo’s expression turned serious when he heard the story about Benjamin, the captain of the Coast Guard.
“This may be bigger than I thought.”
“Do you know anything?”
“The humanoid monsters, who had been standing there as if waiting for something, started moving little by little a while ago. From your story, it probably started when Benjamin fell.”
The behavior of the witches that I couldn’t understand.
Considering that Benjamin fought while turning himself into a demon, there was a high possibility that it had something to do with him.
“The problem is that the reason we have been able to endure so far is because the humanoid monsters stayed still. If they move, the damage will increase exponentially.”
The humanoid monsters were so strong that they couldn’t be compared to other marine monsters.
Basically, there was nothing to say as it was impossible to defeat it unless it was an attribute conversion level attack.
Ursula, who had been silently listening to Leo’s words, stood up from her seat.
“I’ll talk to Camilla.”
* * *
inside the barracks.
Camilla, who heard Ursula’s story, wrote a bamboo statue from her classmate, with nothing to hide.
People live and die by the orders she gives as commander.
Camilla deliberately kept her expression so as not to show agitation in front of others, but when only the two of them were left, she could not overcome the pressure and became honest.
“f*ck.”
“When did I curse at you? That b*tch who used to be so talkative kept being respectful, so the chickens grew.”
“shut up. It’s not because you made me a maid and jumped out. Do you cook the jeongryeongtae and use it to roast and boil Daemu-nim? When the hell did you learn it?”
“Not long ago. Thanks to that, my proficiency has also decreased.”
Ursula lost to Benjamin who turned into a demonic beast.
Of course, Benjamin himself was a descendant of the same 8th generation family as Theodore, and he even used an unheard-of technique called witchcraft, so he was not an opponent to win.
However, the shaman who used Spirit Tae in the Crescent Moon Islands had to be invincible.
“I lost, and Noah, who had worse conditions than me, won. It’s a complete disqualification for seniors.”
Even Noah, who caused the aura to run wild, was incomparable to the amount of aura that Ursula dealt with in her elemental form.
Nevertheless, Noah was much stronger because Ursula was not accustomed to fighting in an elemental state.
“I didn’t even think of turning that huge aura into rigid body magic and only emitted it with sword magic, but that guy prepared for death and let the aura go wild and wrapped it all over his body. Originally, it was something I, as a shrine maiden, should have done.”
At Ursula’s words, Camilla also shut up.
I had never even imagined being able to run amok and manipulate its power.
Frankly, the moment Noah cut Benjamin, Camilla was terrified.
Noah, who used the power to understand what principle it was, was more terrifying than Benjamin, who used unknown powers.
It meant that Noah’s talent was enough to make the impossible possible.
“With this incident, he completed his sword faster than ever before, so he will become stronger in the future.”
“Are there any aftereffects?”
“I lost a lot of aura, but that’s a problem that can be replenished with an elixir later.”
Rather, immediate work came first.
“Let me go.”
“no.”
It was a knife-like refusal.
“It’s just that it doesn’t show because there’s a guy who ran out of time to come, and your condition is also messed up. It’s dangerous just to use the elemental form that I’m not familiar with… … .”
Even then, you suffered greatly.
Camilla swallowed the words behind her back.
Because her motive, who is always fooling around, must have pride.
Ursula’s body was in a state that could not be said to be good even with empty words.
I didn’t run out of aura, but I was beaten to the point where I couldn’t compare to Noah.
I couldn’t commit her to the mission as she was in a mess internally and externally.
“But people are dying right now. You are the nun of the Crescent Islands. What you need to protect is people, not motives.”
No matter what your body is, if you can move your aura, you can use spirit form.
If he could use Spirit Tae, he could fight and move only with Aura even in a living corpse state.
Under the current circumstances, Ursula was clearly an irreplaceable force.
“Then order me.”
It is a Miko’s duty to protect the Crescent Islands.
Ursula wanted to do her duty, which had been taken over by her junior, and Camilla did not want to risk her unsound motives.
But both knew.
that Camilla would not abdicate her duties.
“Damn b*tch.”
* * *
Tiu and Ricardo caught up with Ursula leaving the port.
Miho lamented his situation and followed him.
Leo had been waiting for them on the outskirts ever since.
The destination is the epicenter of the outpouring of demonic beasts.
It was the main body of the Temple of the Moon.
