Felix, who took out his silver fang, moved forward while grinding the monsters in front of him.
Of course, it was a bad decision to consume aura like that in a situation where you don’t know how the war situation will change, but there was no need for that now.
“I can feel people gathering in the port. You can use all your auras if you can join them.”
“It’s a great sense to be able to detect from here to there.”
Island 4 of the Crescent Islands boasted a size comparable to that of a large city.
In the first place, it is an island large enough to house two cities, a port city and a nearby city in the middle of the mountain.
Being able to reach the harbor at one end of this place meant that Veronica’s aura sensitivity was at a monstrous level.
‘Isn’t the nickname of the monster princess just a joke?’
This is Veronica, who has had a magical eye since birth.
It was only natural that he was a master knight when it came to dealing with auras.
“Considering the distance from here to the port, it might be a bit tight.”
“are you okay. You will be able to join before then.”
“… … ?”
The mystery was soon solved by the aura detected by Felix’s senses.
“Veronica!”
Leo, who found Veronica, was the first to run.
They encountered Ursula and her party on their way to the main body of the Temple of the Moon.
“Are you hurt anywhere?”
“yes. Thanks to Felix-sama for his active work. Rather, could you escort those we are protecting to the port?”
“If that’s the case, that’s fine. It’s because we’ve cleaned up all the monsters we see on the way here.”
The number of people saved by Veronica and Felix reached this point exceeded 1,000.
Starting with the Top Sword participants and officials who went to Island 7, they continued to save people and move after entering Island 4.
Since it was a large group from the beginning, it was impossible to move secretly, so survivors and monsters had no choice but to gather around them.
“If you go to the port, you will be able to board the ship. Go to Havana and be safe!”
At Felix’s cry, the refugees began to liven up.
“By the way, where are you guys going?”
“This is the main body of the Temple of the Moon. Apparently, the epicenter of the current Demonic Beast appears to be there.”
I couldn’t figure out how the monsters were able to come out of the stronghold of the best knights in the empire.
However, looking at the initial situation of this situation and the distribution of demonic beasts, it was clear that the main group was the epicenter.
“I will go with you. Maybe we can find a fundamental solution to this situation.”
“Then me too.”
Veronica and Felix asked to accompany them.
Ursula nodded at the suggestion.
From noble mtl dot com.
There was no reason to refuse if two people who were definitely talented were added.
The investigation team, which had increased its strength, quickly moved toward the headquarters.
In the process, he was able to come into contact with a number of humanoid monsters.
“All of these guys seem to be heading towards the headquarters?”
Around the time Benjamin fell, the humanoid demons who had been standing still began to move.
It was not clear yet what principle they were moving, but it seemed certain that all entities were moving towards the main group.
“Whether it’s porridge or rice, the answer is there.”
Convinced, they hurried their steps.
The density of monsters increased as they got closer to the main group, but they don’t care if a fight breaks out next to them.
If it was the fighting power of the party, there was no problem in breaking through.
So when they reached the entrance, the ground began to shake.
Goo Goo Goo!
“What, an earthquake?”
“Wait, something is coming from below!”
Quaaa!
The ground exploded and silt rose into the sky.
The one that broke through the ground and protruded was Linaria.
A fainted Roselia was held in her hands covered in blood and dirt.
They are twins, with people even saying that they are the strongest in Nightray, even if they are not alone.
The fact that the twins came out so battered meant that the situation was out of the ordinary.
“Run away!”
“Eh? What? What the hell is this situation?”
Miho, unable to comprehend the situation, asked a question, and at the same time, humanoid monsters began to pour out of the hole where Linaria protruded.
“What, what is that!”
So many numbers that it’s hard to count them all.
It was not a situation that could have been fought by common sense, but Ursula rather stepped forward.
“There are a lot of them, but each one is no different from the ones I’ve defeated so far. If it’s my spirit state… … !”
When it comes to quantity warfare, this is rather special.
However, she should have taken Linaria’s words more seriously.
“What are you doing! run away… … !”
For a moment, everyone there held their breath.
The aura of the monster that is greater than all the monsters I’ve encountered so far combined.
As the Witchbeast escaped from the shaft and radiated its energy in all directions, the party could not help but shudder.
Dig!
The Demonic Beast rose from the hole and stood tall in the sky over the Crescent Islands.
It was in the shape of a giant jellyfish that shone brightly.
“A mutant of Gorgon? But that’s just a normal magic beast, and that’s… … .”
Countless tentacles sprouted from under the body of the giant jellyfish, which could have been dozens of meters tall.
Each tentacle was so thin that you couldn’t even see it, and there were countless bundles of tentacles that looked like lumps.
The jellyfish that floated up in the air then stretched out its tentacles in all directions.
“damage!”
Phoebe!
The group dodged all of the attacks, but in fact the tentacles were not aimed at them.
[Key profit!]
[Karuk!]
The humanoid monsters that had been pierced by countless tentacles instantly dried up.
The auras they possessed gathered at the jellyfish through the tentacles.
“That guy is absorbing the monsters’ aura!”
It eats other monsters and makes their power their own.
It wasn’t uncommon in the ecology of monsters, but this was on a different scale.
Tentacles stretched out in all directions, spreading across the Crescent Islands.
The monsters that fill the island are quickly reduced to food.
“How many tentacles, one strand at a time so thin you can’t even see them, do you really need to look like that?”
how many thousand?
How many hundred thousand?
If so, how many auras would those tentacles absorb?
“Disaster level… … .”
A legendary beast that cannot be dealt with unless it is a master knight.
A living disaster was looking down on humans.
* * *
On the other hand, shortly before the disaster-level monster appeared, the temporary headquarters of the port.
“… … no! Noah!”
Noah opened his eyes to the voice calling him.
My mind was hazy, and my body was screaming in the middle of the haze, but I was able to open my eyes anyway.
“missing child?”
Surprisingly, it was Mia, Veronica’s maid, who woke Noah.
Although she did not participate in Top Sword herself, she followed her to the gallery as Veronica’s maid.
“It was a big deal. I know you’re not feeling well, but please forgive the rudeness of waking Noah-nim.”
“What is it?”
“Arni-nim was kidnapped during the confusion.”
A moment of silence ensued.
“… … Please explain in detail.”
“In the midst of the chaos, Arni-nim was exposed to the threat of the Witchbeast, and the Liberiga’s personal guards reluctantly showed up. In that situation, Lexi attacked the SS and escaped with Arni-nim as a hostage.”
If it was a person who was sent to assassinate the only daughter of the North Sea Sword King, there was no way that his ability would be inferior to that of the Liberi Royal Guard.
If it was a normal situation, the hands were busy due to the magic beast.
If they were to launch a surprise attack and take hostages, it would be difficult even for the SS to respond.
“The injuries of the guards are serious. They explained the situation to me and asked for help… … .”
He was also busy saving his own people.
No matter how much Arni was the only daughter of the North Sea Sword King, the Empire was an absolute hegemon, and originally did not care about other countries.
In order to save a princess from a foreign country, it is not possible to remove the number of people in this situation.
“Can you trace his location?”
“yes. it’s possible.”
“Then let’s go.”
Noah got up.
He was in no condition to fight, but there was no one else to go without him.
“Are you all right?”
“I can’t pretend I didn’t see my friend when he said he was in danger.”
It was actually Noah who brought Arni to this place.
If only he hadn’t listened to Theodore and just revealed Arni’s identity.
Arni could have returned to Sanctum Keep, or at least officially become a guest of the Empire.
It wasn’t that I had a great sense of justice.
I know it’s dangerous, but I just didn’t want to pretend I didn’t know.
“I’m sure I’m not in good shape, and my aura almost flew away, but once it’s okay.”
Just once.
If you do it once, you can swing the sword with full power.
And now Noah’s power is much stronger than his previous self.
‘The sense of the runaway remains. If you have this, at least the aura you have is worth trying.’
There was also one thing Noah hadn’t noticed yet.
“This… … ?”
Noah picked up his sword that was leaning next to the bed.
It was inside the sheath, but Noah, the owner, knew it intuitively.
sereung.
Even though it didn’t contain sword skills, it was a black sword body.
The shape did not change significantly.
However, that was because Noah had only used long swords with no features throughout his life, not because the swords were not properly completed.
“It’s a color that looks like it was made by polishing the original stone. It’s beautiful… … .”
While Mia was captivated by its appearance, Noah was concentrating on the performance of the newly born sword.
very slightly
Explosive power surges despite the slightest amount of aura poured into it.
“… … Do you think you are stronger now than when you were injured?”
“You have to give the completed Holy Spirit Sword a name.”
“name?”
“The Seongryeon Sword, which has undergone metamorphosis, is a body reborn solely for the sake of its owner. Giving a name helps to solidify the image.”
The Seongryeon sword retains the owner’s aura and changes accordingly.
Therefore, the completed Seongryeon sword was the master’s sword itself.
Giving it a name is like looking back at one’s own swordsmanship.
It is only natural that those who can draw a firm image inside are stronger than those who do not.
“By naming it, true power will be awakened.”
“It’s a name… … .”
The moment I thought of naming the sword, there was a name that came to mind without hesitation.
“The dark moon.”
Whoa!
Even though he didn’t do anything and just chanted his name, his sword body vibrated.
In the next moment, the momentum that flowed outward disappeared like a lie.
However, Noah felt that the power of the dark moon had grown stronger.
Perfect power control.
When all the power was concentrated inside the dark moon, the power could not be felt from the outside.
“Awesome.”
I couldn’t imagine.
That the person holding the dark moon would lose to someone.
“The swordsmanship has become rather strong. Mia, I’ll ask for help with your lost stamina.”
“yes. Please use Mia to your heart’s content.”
