Chapter 163 Battle for the Headquarters (2)
No special tactical instructions were required.
It was because all I had to do was move like when I was fighting the Black Heaven Demonic Cult.
While Professor Valentiano’s 1st unit and Professor Angela’s 2nd unit are holding out against the monsters, the guerrilla squad moves and defeats the commander controlling the monsters.
“Serine, Heinrich, lead your squad and follow me.”
“Yes, Mr. Brantley.”
“yes… … !”
Serene and Heinrich are the squad leaders who lead the guerrillas.
In the battles so far, they have shown a very surprising performance.
Although they were still only students, their appearance in fighting the enemies was no less than that of the Agrippa family’s veteran graduates.
It is said that all of them were selected by Aernas, but I wonder if Aernas has a good eye for talent.
“… … .”
Brantley turned his head and winked at Valentiano and Angela.
As before, they will command the Knights and deal with the monsters.
While they hold out, take down Archbishop Polka with Brantley’s guerrillas.
“Gaaa!”
“Kieack!”
An Orc type with excellent toughness.
An auger type with strong muscle strength.
A giant type with a huge body.
Three types of monsters were charging in formation.
However, it is not necessary to deal with them one by one.
“Breaking through with mindfulness techniques.”
“yes!”
Brantly leaped using his ceremonial technique.
After jumping over the orc-type monsters that were charging at the front, he landed while cutting off the ogre-type monsters behind them.
Right after that, it leaped again and slashed the head of a giant type.
Other monsters rushed to catch Brantly, but there was no need to deal with them.
The important thing now is to break through the monsters and reach Archbishop Polka.
“Hap… … !”
Behind him, Heinrich’s spirited voice was heard.
I didn’t look back, but I could feel that I was following pretty close.
From Brantly’s point of view, Heinrich has grown a lot during that time.
It seems like just yesterday that I reached the advanced level of the graduate level, but it seemed that I would be able to challenge the peak level soon.
‘Excellent, Heinrich.’
Not only Heinrich, but also other students such as Serine and Schmitz were excellent.
Claubice’s daughter, Berithlyze, also showed a fairly excellent appearance.
If he leads them and charges, he should be able to raise his record even while Aernas is resting.
“Kyaaa!”
“Gooooh!”
He continued to advance while defeating the monsters that stood in his way.
It could have been a civilian rather than a Demonic Cultist, but there was no need to put circumstances in their hands.
There is no way to cure a person who has become such a monster after being injected with a mutagen anyway.
It’s better to stop breathing sooner rather than later.
“Brantley Agrippa… … !”
“Stop it!”
As they got closer to the volcano, they saw demons in normal human form.
It was like being in charge of escorting Archbishop Polka.
“Do not disturb.”
Brantley made his sword skills even stronger.
The moment he was about to launch an attack to defeat him in one blow, an unexpected incident occurred.
“Ahhh… … !”
With a scream, their bodies began to swell.
It seemed that he was strengthening his body by taking some kind of mutagen.
“You’re forcibly running your magic out of control. If you do, you won’t be able to last a few hours and you’ll die.”
“Shut up, Brantly Agrippa!”
“For Archbishop Polka, we are ready to give our lives!”
They seemed to be magicians loyal to Polka.
To be prepared to sacrifice one’s own life is a great loyalty.
“Then, I will not take that life.”
“… … !”
Chew!
Blood gushed from the throat of the one closest to him.
Brantly was struck by the blade he swung while moving like the wind.
The others rushed at Brantly in unison, but to no avail.
“Kuuk!”
“Ah… … !”
one two three four… After defeating up to five people, the guerrillas finally arrived.
“father!”
“Serine, Heinrich.”
Brantry said as he slashed the head of the sixth.
“I’ll leave the small puppies to you guys. can you do it?”
“Leave it to me!”
“All right!”
After leaving the guerrilla students to take over, Brantley took off.
Seeing this, the remaining guys raised their voices.
“Brantley! stop… Keugh!”
“We will deal with you guys!”
Heinrich and Serine’s skills would be enough to deal with those guys.
Leaving them behind the scenes, Brantley threw himself with all his might.
“… … .”
And landed on the middle of the volcano flowing lava.
The heat was great, but Brantley, a graduate of the highest level, was able to hold on.
“Archibishop Polka.”
“You managed to get up here, Brantly Agrippa.”
Polka was a man who could be described as a martial artist.
He was large, and had features that made him look rugged but pompous.
I could tell at first sight that the Archbishops of the Black Heaven Demonic Cult I had met were evil at first sight, but Polka seemed a bit different.
“By the way, Ernas Landstein is nowhere to be seen. Where did you go?”
“I am resting in the rear.”
“Are you on a break?”
Hearing Brantly’s words, Polka chuckled.
“Right. Did he use excessive magic to break the magic that protects the headquarters? I thought it was a great power, but it seems that my life is in danger.”
“Make no mistake, Archbishop Polka.”
“what?”
“Aernas did not retreat to the rear to save his life.”
Brantley said in a cold voice.
“If I had to step out on my own, I would have come forward without taking a break.”
“That means… Are you saying that Aernas isn’t in a situation where he has to step in directly?”
“yes.”
If it wasn’t for that, Aernas wouldn’t have gone to the rear.
“Archbishop Polka, like you, this Brantly Agrippa alone can defeat you. Aernas also made that decision, so he retreated to the rear and rested.”
“What… … !”
“And one more thing.”
Brantley said raising his sword.
“Because I have to preserve my stamina here.”
“You mean to preserve your stamina?”
“If you’re going to go into the headquarters and kill the Patriarch, you’d better do that.”
“… … !”
Polka’s expression became grim.
“You’re talking about a pierced mouth, Brantly Agrippa.”
“Is there something wrong with my words? We came all the way here to destroy the headquarters and punish the patriarch.”
“Do you think that would be possible?”
“Why is it impossible?”
“Heh, that’s funny.”
Polka snorted.
“You cannot enter the headquarters. Even if you go in only one… It is absolutely impossible for you to kill the Patriarch.”
“Why are you so assertive?”
“Because the Patriarch is the one with absolute power.”
Saying that, Polka put her hand on her waist.
In that moment, Brantley realized.
Polka wore seven swords at her waist.
“Brantly Agrippa, do you know why we are loyal to the Dark Heaven Demonic Cult?”
“Isn’t it to create a world of chaos dominated by the logic of power?”
“That is nothing more than a dogma handed down from time immemorial. Our archbishops dedicating allegiance to the Dark Heaven Demonic Cult… It’s because I was fascinated by the overwhelming power of the Patriarch.”
“overwhelming power?”
“Yes, Brantly Agrippa.”
A black aura began to emanate from Polka’s body.
“The Patriarch is the one who should rise to the top of the world. He only inherited the blood of the Iron Blood Swordsman… It’s not like insignificant emperors.”
“… … .”
“so… I will show you.”
That moment.
Polka’s dark aura started to burn like a strong flame.
“It was handed down from the Patriarch… The power of this Black Heaven Seven Flame Swordsmanship!”
Cuckoo!
Enormous magical power emanated from Polka.
Sensing danger, Brantly leapt up using his ceremonial techniques.
‘This… … !’
It is similar to, but different from, the Ignias family’s Ignias Infernal Swordsmanship.
It is the same as using the sword of burning flames, but the nature is different.
This dark flame… Polka was able to steer freely.
“Is it swordsmanship!”
“Yes, Brantley!”
thump, thump, thump… … !
Black sparks erupted one after another from Polka.
They weren’t just sparks, but the flames of the flames spread on Polka’s sword.
“… … !”
From noble mtl dot com.
The seven swords that Polka was wearing.
All of them swayed in the air, wrapped in black flames.
“Cut to death in the flames, Brantly!”
“… … !”
Cuckoo coo coo!
A sword of flame flew with an explosion.
Brantley tried to dodge the attack using cunning techniques.
Even if he handled seven sacks at the same time, Brantley was confident enough to respond.
It was because he had also dealt with Claubice Schreier’s Schreier Blind Swordsmanship before.
“hmm… … !”
thud!
The moment he hit the flame sword, Brantley bit his lip.
An explosion occurred at the same time as the collision, damaging Brantly’s swordsmanship.
“Okay, is it this kind of thing?”
A flame swordsmanship that damages the opponent’s swordsmanship.
If it flies from seven directions at the same time, it’s not easy to deal with.
“How is it, Brantley!
Polka shouted in a harsh voice.
“Why don’t you ask the others for help! There must be other than Aernas in the climax!”
“… … .”
Hearing that, Brantley looked behind him.
Professor Valentiano and Professor Angela are now leading the Knights to deal with the monsters.
If they leave, the knights will suffer great damage from the monsters.
“It would certainly be more advantageous to ask for help from others.”
“Keuhehehe, is that so? Even you… … .”
“However, fighting doesn’t have to be done only under advantageous circumstances.”
Saying that, Brantley changed his posture.
“And the current situation… Because it’s not particularly disadvantageous.”
“what?”
“On the contrary, it can be said that it is a pretty welcome situation for me.”
Polka put on a puzzled expression.
“Nice to meet you? What a joke!”
thud! thud! cooong!
Seven swords flew around Brantly, making a roar as if in protest.
“What’s nice about being completely surrounded by my black cloth seven-flame swordsmanship!”
“I can’t help but be happy.”
It is surrounded by the black air of roaring flames.
so… Outside, Brantly is nowhere to be seen.
“Because I can practice swordsmanship without caring about the eyes of others.”
“what?”
That moment.
Brantley’s Agrippa Blue Moon swordsmanship exploded after breaking through the siege of the Dark Heaven Seven Flames swordsmanship.
* * *
An explosion was heard from afar.
It seemed that Brantley and Archbishop Polka were fighting a battle.
After confirming the situation on the battlefield with Atillion’s magic detection technique, I slowly got up.
“Aernas-nim.”
Chloe looked at me with a worried expression.
“Wouldn’t it be better to rest a little longer? It looks like you still have a bad complexion.”
“It’s definitely not 100% perfect.”
As Chloe said, I am not fully recovered now.
He uses the iron-blood sword magic method to stabilize his mana heart and blood veins, but he needs a little more time.
“But, I can’t lie still.”
“yes… … ?”
Saying that, I put my hand on my waist.
The moment I tried to pull out the true silver sword and the true iron sword at the same time.
“There is no need to be vigilant, Ernas Landstein.”
With a calm voice, a man appeared in front of the carriage.
It was a long-haired man with a white face.
“… … !”
Chloe hurriedly tried to draw her sword, but it was too late.
The moment the long-haired man’s eyes met, Chloe lost consciousness and collapsed.
“It’s not good to start with the sword first and foremost. Isn’t it?”
“Okay.”
I didn’t care and pulled out the true silver sword and the true iron sword.
“For a guy like you, it would be the right answer to start with the sword first and foremost… Archbishop Alberich.”
Heukcheon Demonic Cult’s technology development supervisor.
He was a villain who turned countless people into monsters by administering mutagenesis, and he was actually commanding the Black Heaven Demonic Cult on behalf of the Patriarch.
Archbishop Alberich was looking at me with a smile.
