Don’t put meaning in a single sword.
A sword is just a sword.
Recalling Nam Hyun-hwa’s words, Choi Hyun-woo clenched his teeth.
She didn’t look at her with disappointment or contempt.
He simply looked at him with the eyes of understanding him and handed him the sword that was tied to his side.
Then she muttered quietly.
If you have lost anything other than a sword… .
The words she muttered as if sadly couldn’t get out of her ears.
Rather, it would have been more comfortable if the words had been scorned for being incompetent and ridiculed for being pathetic.
Those words that are gentle and gentle are rather shackles.
Then, someone approached him.
Han Soo-young.
A family that I love, precious and sworn to protect.
She just hugged him and patted his shoulder without saying a word, seeing the weakness of his family for the first time.
are you okay.
She, who must have been more urgent than anyone else, just repeated those words.
And in her arms, Choi Hyun-woo quietly closed his eyes.
What came to mind was the image of himself who faced another ending in Margo’s dungeon in the past.
A future that was captured by the magical sword Tyrving and lost everything and died while saying that he was envious of himself.
At that time, I was only vaguely understanding.
But now… .
“… Well?”
When I came to my senses for a moment, I was standing in a posture wielding a sword.
Before I could even figure out what had happened, I heard a loud roar.
When he looked up, he saw Minerva staggering in mid-air, with a wound that was certain to have been cut by a sword.
“no way… .”
Someone tapped the shoulder of Choi Hyun-woo, who was muttering in disbelief.
It was Nam Hyun-hwa.
“Great.”
She said so and nodded her head.
Then, looking at the sword in Choi Hyun-woo’s hand, he exhaled a little.
“If you want, I’ll give you that sword.”
“… no.”
Hyunwoo Choi shook his head.
The sword is just a sword.
However… .
“But, I will borrow it for a moment.”
With those words, Choi Hyun-woo fixed his sword.
For some reason, I felt as if the moment I felt when I was fighting with another self that day was continuing.
“oh!”
Then, Lee Yu-na let out a shrill scream.
It was because they found two people falling into one mass in the air.
And then, Minerva’s body followed after it as if it had fallen.
“… … !”
Jin Ye-seul, who saw it, disappeared into the shadows as if melted on the spot.
Han Soo-young immediately began to form a bond, and Lee Yu-na also began to squeeze her magic power.
[Ahhh!!!]
Minerva’s roar echoed once more.
Most of the people thought it was to stop Yoo Ji-hyeok, who fell as if he had lost his mind, at the sight of him rushing as if he could not miss the two falling people.
‘… no way.’
Nam Hyeon-hwa thought that for some reason Minerva’s appearance was very urgent, but he couldn’t stop now, so he pulled out the sword he had brought as a spare.
And they weren’t the only ones moving then.
Lee Myung-joon, as well as the other ten members, were moving to do the best they could judge.
Some were to intercept Minerva, and some were to rescue Yoo Ji-hyeok, who was falling.
[Big?!]
Then, an arrow from outside Minerva’s field of vision flew towards her.
She was about to throw it away, but it was only later that she realized that the arrow was loaded with unusual power.
She roared once more as the arrows shattered the scales and ripped through the flesh.
Belluna, who was looking at the magic bow strengthened by Evangeline Lohengrin, and the arrows Ivan Hunt fired with the help of Yeeun Lee, from afar tilted her head slightly.
“That’s fine, my son.”
She muttered as she mercilessly trampled the undead crawling up from her feet.
Holding the smashed Durahan’s head in one hand, she muttered in a muffled voice.
“You’re still trying to use a bad way. Are you aiming for a by-product of Minerva?”
“Your master and he will not forgive you… !”
Belluna, who popped Durahan’s head with a shuffling sound, still looked at Minerva with gloomy eyes.
Even though she was wounded and devastated, she was running desperately.
There was a time when I thought that I was somehow sad when I looked at it.
“… Oh?”
Aegis began to emit light again.
Belluna muttered as if it was quite surprising.
“Are you going to burn them all down?”
If it were to be beaten as it is, Minerva would have been mortally wounded.
But before that, Yoo Ji-hyuk, who is only a human, will disappear without leaving a trace.
“Humans are scary too.”
With that said, Belluna began to literally slaughter the undead led by Lich, Milited’s henchman.
“Unlike me, you must be unable to run away.”
Well, it doesn’t matter since you don’t seem to have any intention of escaping.
With that in mind, she continued to move her hand.

[The time limit expires, and the King of Thorns is released.]
[It’s time to pay the price… .]
[All stats temporarily decrease.]
[There are no more health values to drop.]
[There are no more strength values to drop.]
[There are no more agility values to drop.]
[There is no more magical power to decrease.]
[There are no more skills to drop.]
“… Ugh.”
I could tell even if it wasn’t the notification window that popped up in front of my eyes.
I can’t do anything right now.
As it is now, slimes or goblins… No, even if you fight a child, you won’t be able to win.
“OMG… .”
I felt my whole body convulse from the pain.
Not because it meant something, but when I was just trying to move my body to get out of the pain.
“… You idiot, don’t you have a broken limb?”
Minerva.
She was standing up with wounds all over her body, looking down at me.
“Why did you wrap me up?”
Before I could answer anything, she took the sword she was holding and pressed it to the nape of my neck.
“Answer me. Honey, why did you wrap me up? If I had twisted the hand holding the spear at that moment, no matter how much my country would have died. But why… !”
It was as she said.
Instead of moving my hand holding the spear in mid-air, I wrapped her body around her, and thanks to that, I took almost all of the shock from hitting the ground with my body.
The result was something like this.
“I don’t know, neither do I.”
“What?”
“How am I? My body moved without realizing it. This is what it looks like when I wake up because of the strange sights I saw after colliding with you.”
Every time he spoke, pain rushed up through his body.
Minerva, who was looking at me like that, secretly pulled out her sword.
“… The phenomenon before.”
she muttered quietly.
“It’s called resonance.”
“resonance?”
“Don’t you know?”
I nodded and for some reason she let out a small laugh.
“Even those who have been together for the rest of their lives can’t do it, but at that moment, you and I unconsciously did it? This sounds like a good story.”
With those words, Minerva quickly kicked my body.
It was a light kick, but the problem was that it felt like death with just that light kick.
“Aww! you, you man… !”
“It’s stupid. I am your enemy It doesn’t mean that you didn’t expect this level of kindness to your enemies, right?”
With those words, she moved and walked in a quiet gait right above me.
Then, he trampled on his outstretched arms with his feet and slowly lifted up the Eonwoldo.
“Cut off the neck neatly, and don’t take mine away.”
She groaned and blood gushed out of her mouth.
Her blood ran down my cheeks.
“In this battle… No, your neck will be the best booty in my life. At night, when I sleep, I will keep it by my side and tell you the old stories and the songs you taught me.”
Why the hell do all the guys I’ve fought with have terrible hobbies?
I tried to move my arm, but she was trampling on me and I couldn’t.
In the end, he moved only his hand and stretched his middle finger straight to her.
“… Fuck you.”
“Ahaha, well, you’re saying things like that in situations like this.”
She smiled and muttered as if missing her.
“How hard I tried to see you clinging to me to save my life at least once. If I miss you so much, I even come out of my dreams… ?!”
“Ugh!?”
While he was talking, Minerva suddenly threw the sword he was holding in the distance.
And she immediately fell down on my body as if she was attacking me.
“What are you doing now… !”
“Close your eyes, come on! If you do, your eyes will burn and you will be blind for the rest of your life!”
At the end of those words, a large wing stretched out from Minerva’s back.
I could see clearly before her wings moved as if enveloping us.
towards this place.
The pillars of light emitted from the Aegis were pouring down.
“Big… !”
[Ahhh!!!]
Minerva let out a roar as her whole body blocked the pillars emitting an intense light that seemed to burn their eyes.
cancer battle.
Ironically, my vision sank into darkness at the end of a pillar of light that seemed to burn everything.
* * *
“What are we going to do now!”
Lee Myung-jun clasped the radio as if it was about to break it and shouted.
– What are you talking about? Myung-Jun Lee.
As soon as he heard the voice over the radio, Lee Myung-jun could recognize that he was an executive of the association.
The battlefield seems to be getting more advantageous, so I’m going to run away from it… !
Lee Myung-jun shouted and gritted his teeth.
“What are you talking about? I don’t know that now, so ask me, you crazy bastard! Are your eyes twisted? Our kid was stuck there! But are you going to bombard me with Aegis on the spot?”
— Calm down.
“What? you bastard now… !”
The voice over the walkie-talkie spat out at him as if what the hell was the problem.
― If it isn’t the current situation, how are you going to kill that Seven Evil Bell? Now is the best time. If you can pour the bombardment right now on the guy whose eyes are on something, you’re sure to inflict mortal wounds.
“So now you’re going to use the kid who fought with him for your life as bait and set it on fire together? A child who hasn’t even grown up yet?”
― A cause requires sacrifice, Ms. Lee Myung-Jun. Let’s see the world a little wider.
“Because this bastard really wants to hear it… !”
– Anyway, you did a great job. It looks like you’ve used up a lot of energy, so we’ll take care of the rest. We also offer our deepest condolences to the victims.
He groaned, and coughed.
―And if you ever do something strange, even you… .
As if there was no need to listen anymore, Lee Myung-jun grabbed the radio and smashed it.
It was then when he raised his spear towards Aegis, who was pouring out pillars of light.
can i stop it
Maybe it’s already too late than that.
As he was thinking about it, he heard an unusual sound in his ear.
“… Oh My God.”
Magic bullets are shot through the pillars of light.
The magic bullet apparently fired by Minerva didn’t even go through the pillar of light, so it smashed Aegis as well.
[nice… .]
Minerva was still in the same posture as he had fired his magic bullets into the air.
Its body burned black as if it had been charred by fire, and it looked like it had been fatally wounded by anyone who looked at it.
You can feel the heat so far that the ground here melted away.
And towards that hellish place, Lee Myung-jun flew without hesitation.
At the very least, it was the thought that only the remains of Yoo Ji-hyeok should be recovered.
“… … .”
However, contrary to his expectations, Yoo Ji-hyuk was alive and well.
“Great, uh… .”
“Minerva… you.”
It was literally thanks to Minerva who used her body as a shield.
“why.”
“… You are my prey.”
Shaking her body, Minerva muttered quietly.
“Because no one can kill you but me.”
With those words, Minerva slowly fell forward.
Yoo Ji-hyuk’s body fell as if it was overlaid on top of her, and then strange smoke began to come out of her body.
Instinctively, he could sense that the end of the Seven Devils, which appeared for the third time, was just around the corner.
