When Cruz fell, the SS hurriedly ran out.
Eyes out of focus.
A body with no sense of power.
weak pulse.
Blood constantly flowing from the corners of the mouth.
It was the look of a man whose life was at stake.
“I, Your Highness… … ?”
“… … uh, what is this… … .”
Everyone was at a loss for words at the sight of Crews losing his vitality moment by moment.
Not only Blackro, who had been by his side, but even Leah and Lahos, who were always cold, could not open their mouths.
The silence was short, but it was long enough to convey the embarrassment and agitation.
“Get out of the way! I will serve Your Highness!”
The moment Lahos, who came to his senses, hurriedly approached and tried to help Cruz.
Dismissed!
The spell that wrapped around Cruz ricocheted off Rahoth’s hand.
The moment he tried to cut the spell.
“Oh, no!”
Hella’s urgent voice stopped the action.
“That’s not a device that harms the electric charge!”
“… … I beg your pardon?”
“That spell has been activated and the loss of Your Highness’ life has stopped.”
Hella quickly looked away.
What she was staring at was the grayish-white cube Marselarity was holding.
“It activated and Her Highness became in a strange state.”
“And this spell, which was manifested subsequently, is to protect Your Highness from that?”
“Yes, so you can’t touch it. If it breaks… … .”
Hella’s gaze turned to the pool of blood.
It meant that the approaching death would begin again without a second thought.
“Attack the Kingdom Army!”
“The two princes die here today!”
“Attack with the intention of annihilating them!”
Doo doo doo doo!
In the meantime, Solstad’s forces began to move.
They rushed without mercy, but the SS could not respond properly.
It was because the entire SS, including the captains, could not easily accept this situation.
The most serious of them all was Alan.
“… … majesty?”
A lifeless face, a limp body, profuse blood, and weak vitality.
I was aware of all this, but I couldn’t accept it.
“Get up, Your Highness.”
To Alan, Cruz was an absolute presence.
Since the height of his realm was at its lowest, he had easily defeated himself, and had done everything without hindrance.
It was like a perfect superman.
“Why, why are you lying down… … .”
Alan hadn’t been surprised whenever Cruz did incredible things.
It was like that at first, but at some point I took it for granted.
It was a different feeling than I was used to.
It’s not just a genius who is born with skills and potential.
Experiences, words and actions that are not suitable for his age, and even action.
Because he recognized that he was a special being with everything, he took Cruz’s success for granted.
“You’re kidding me… … ? There’s no way Your Highness will die… … !”
It was the same for others.
Only less than Alan, but the essence was the same.
A being who always succeeds, wins, acts confidently, and overcomes hardships.
The fact that such a person was dying, they could not easily accept.
It was like worshipers whose absolute faith had been shattered.
“What are you all doing!”
Hones yelled at them.
The time they panicked was never long.
It wasn’t long after the enemy’s order to attack was given.
But for Hones and other members of the SS, it was a very long time.
“Your brother is not dead! Grab your weapons, everyone, and face the enemy!”
Sreung!
Hones, who vigorously drew his sword, continued with a blood vessel standing in his neck.
“The purpose of our existence is to protect Your Highness! Everyone move—!!”
Alan’s consciousness returned to a cry that bordered on screaming.
Then I stared at Hones, and I could see the tip of his sword quivering.
Hones was just as shocked as Alan, maybe even more.
It was about suppressing it and venting out the emotions.
“It’s as low Hones said! Everyone move!”

Lahos, who was tougher than usual, continued.
Just looking at the mention of the title of a lower rank that he did not use to hide his identity, it was clear that he was also quite agitated.
Everyone moved in perfect order as if they had come to their senses.
Despite Cruz’s unconsciousness, their command did not waver.
If something goes wrong with you, the black road will be Lahos.
It was because Cruz had instructed Felix to take over the command of the entire unit.
“… … damn it!”
It was a comment from one of the guards, but no one blamed it.
Frustration at having to actually use this instruction.
Anger at the fact that Cruz was greatly shaken by the fact that something was wrong with him.
Because everyone was feeling these two emotions.
The moment he formed a square to protect Cruz and faced the enemy.
Quaang-!
The defensive wall built by the SS was broken too easily.
Cheongjukdaedo, which has earned time by receiving attacks from powerful enemies.
The Phantom Troupe, which was unmatched in hand-to-hand combat.
All were taken carelessly.
“Don’t break down! Your Highness is behind us!”
“Get your posture right! We are friendly… … .”
Squeak-!
Solstad’s unmanned sword flew by and slaughtered the bodyguards.
The reason why those who had not been pushed back against any strong enemy so far suffered was simple.
They didn’t realize it, but they were agitated by Cruz’s sudden change.
Normally, I would have watched the opponent’s attack more calmly and reacted by moving.
An imminent and sudden catastrophe took away that judgment.
“As expected, the head of the household, your lack of experience is revealed here.”
These were the words of Marcelity, who was watching this.
“Well, even if it’s not that, there is a difference in power itself… … .”
“If the 2nd prince were fine, he wouldn’t have been pushed this easily.”
At Schwein’s words, Marcellity nodded.
Although the total number of troops was small, the power itself was not lacking.
Half of the 3,000 men brought by Solstad were of the upper ranks, and the highest ranks were about twice as many as the SS.
With the combined power of the Resurrection Church, the gap was bound to widen further.
“Originally, I would have intended to engage in guerrilla warfare with mobility, but since the second prince is like that, it will be impossible.”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“By the way, Archbishop Marcelerty, what is that reaction of the 2nd Prince?”
“… … As expected, it looks like you have all three. So that kind of damage… … .”
“I am not asking that. 2 It is a spell that encircled the prince.”
A look of perplexity crossed Marcellity’s face.
because he didn’t know
‘What is that drink?’
If the greyish-white cube is activated within a certain distance, the holder of the evil god’s artifact will take a big hit.
Even the Silver Ted who owned one suffered quite a few internal injuries.
In other words, it wouldn’t be strange if Crus had three of them.
‘I actually went right before that.’
But in the middle, the activation of the cube stopped and went to that state.
Marcellity didn’t know about this reaction, but he couldn’t easily put it into his mouth.
This is because he knows how cruel the head of Solstad next to him is.
He was a person who would be thrown away without hesitation if he judged that he was looked down on even a little or that he had lost his usefulness and value.
“It won’t be a big deal, since you have all three, it must be like an activated failsafe.”
“… … Hmm.”
Schwein stared at the fallen Cruz with deep eyes, then continued.
“Once upon a time, Erlonberg said this.”
There is a descendant of an evil god in Ronberg.
“Ah, an evil god?”
“That’s right. I didn’t even know what it meant… … Judging by their behavior, they must have been referring to Nicola Ronberg.”
The basis was strength.
Hubris puts on darkness and is said to be the only one who has reached the extremes of ancient magic.
“And that ancient magic, it was secret and mental magic that is no longer used.”
“… … yes?”
“In other words, the invisible magic used by Nicola Ronberg is one of them.”
Transcendence magic achieved by the dark spirit king and invisible magic.
Because he had learned these things, Erlonberg called Nicola the descendant of the evil god.
“… … This is the first time I’ve heard of a power other than an evil god’s artifact.”
“This is information that is secretly passed on only to Ronberg, Solstad, and the heads of Yorgil.”
That’s why in the past, the giant family branded Nikola as a guardian candidate.
Considering the time when the magic tool was activated, the possibility was low.
The kind of power and potential he had were enough to be selected as a candidate.
“The 2nd prince is not a descendant of an evil spirit, since Nicola is dead. However, the powers they have and the way they fight are very similar, so in relation to this… … .”
“… … revival.”
It was Marselarity’s murmur that sprang out involuntarily.
In response, he immediately shook his head.
It was because it seemed to cut off Schwein’s words.
“I’m sorry, my lord. I made a mistake.”
“it’s okay. But what is regeneration?”
“… … Excuse me, can I talk to you after this is over? I think it would be good to let you know after organizing your thoughts.”
“Okay. It looks like we will have to move soon.”
Schwein’s gaze turned to the SS.
At first, it was a form of being pushed all the way, but now it seems to be responding to some extent.
The reason is… … .
“It looks like we can annihilate them only when we trample on their key figures.”
It was thanks to the performance of each unit’s captain and Blackro.
With their joining and command, the SS succeeded in recovering some of the momentum that had been pushed back.
“Lounis, Sander, Bragg, and the narrow band.”
At Schwein’s call, they corrected their posture.
The three whose names were called were 8-star low-level warriors, and Hyeoryangdae was one of the best, consisting of 7-star high and intermediate.
“We will join forces with the Resurrection Church to defeat them. You have to kill every single one of them.”
“Yes, go!”
When the order came, they ran without hesitation.
What they were aiming for was the Black Furnace.
We have to deal with those who clearly have higher skills than other units.
That way, you can annihilate them with minimal damage.
“… … this guy!”
Caan-!
It was Sander Solstad who blocked the sudden attack.
It was Leah’s charge to prevent them from approaching the SS.
Although she had decapitated countless enemies with this sudden blow.
Caan, Caan, Caan!
Sander received all of her flashy and sudden sword attacks.
Cheer-la-la-!
A bloody sword attack aimed at Leah flew from all sides.
The swords wielded by three low-level 8-star warriors attacked her fiercely.

Leah evaded and accepted all of them with a movement close to divine, but she could not avoid being cornered.
The moment Salsu tries to stick to her.
Kwaaang-!
From nob le mt l dot com
Lahos’ heavy swordsman saved Leah.
And the two naturally went back to back and fought against them.
“You are the SS’s full strength, Lahos and Leah Onstad.”
Schwein stared down at them.
Rahoth’s eyes, seeing him, sparked a tremendous murder for a moment, but it soon calmed down.
Because he knew it wasn’t the time to discuss personal grudges.
“The Hyoryangdae and Hoesangkyo should move and attack the SS. Would that be possible?”
“Of course, my lord.”
“Hella Ishche, Inari Loft, Felix, and Black Furnace. Don’t forget to deal with them first.”
“I will take your order.”
Dig!
Having received the order, they launched their advance.
But Lahos and Leah couldn’t pursue them.
It was because four low-ranking 8-star warriors surrounded the two.
clap.
Rahoth straightened the sword.
4 vs 2.
It’s a situation where you can’t guarantee a match even if you stick together one-on-one, but you have to deal with two.
Even if I used all the moves I had, there was no chance of winning, but I couldn’t leave as it was.
However, as if he didn’t care about Lahos’ determination, Schwein calmly gave instructions.
“Lunis, Sander. You take on Leia Onstad. Rahoth will be taken care of by me and Bragg.”
“Yes, Mayor.”
* * *
“… … .”
Eyes open.
This vast and warm grassland stretched out, and it was a place I had been to once.
“… … spirit world?”
I slowly got up.
From nob le mt l dot com
Looking back, Hwang Eul-sang lost his mind while rapidly approaching death… … .
“You’ve come to your senses.”
“… … !”
I turned my attention to the sudden voice.
What surprised me was not simply that there was someone there.
Because that voice belonged to someone I knew.
“… … Silverted?”
“It’s been a while, evil spirit.”
