Chapter 171
Artificial Saint (10)
Desiree, who was staring at the corpse of the golden sun, bent down.
-Chack!!!
He pulled the sword from his waist.
The sword body captured the explosion that filled the background.
Black-blue is a dark, cool, and cool color.
On the other hand, vermilion contains warmth.
It’s the warmth that rises in a cold world, it’s just a sword at best, but I don’t know why, I feel pitiful because it resembles my master.
“… … Wait a moment, Taeyang-kun. I’ll finish it soon and come back.”
A whitish flame flickered in her hand.
Desiree, who grabbed the flame, began to move.
The saintess holding the dragon slayer sword headed for the battlefield with whitish flames flying.

“One point.”

Jack drew his sword. A single flash of light ran through the dark night sky.
──────!

Jack’s strike flew toward the sky like a beam of light and pierced the clouds.
Part of the cloud that was pierced spreads around a single point, making a circle with a ‘Pop!’.
At first glance, Jack’s attack seemed to be aimed at the air, but it wasn’t at all.
As if to prove it, the reaction immediately jumped out.
＜Ah—-.＞
The beginning is a small echo.
echo.
Or scream.
It was a high-pitched tone that, if the citizens of Avignon had not evacuated and had heard, would have thought that a servant of God was descending.
but.
The reaction of those who actually heard that beautiful tone was that they could not say that they heard a beautiful sound even if it was empty words.
＜Ah————.＞
A small voice came from the sky, and the sacred knights on the ground were confused by that one.
The fear imprinted on their bodies severely whipped their brains.
Get out of the ranks immediately and disperse.
If I stay like this, I’m sure I’ll end up like a colleague who randomly breaks down on the stone floor next to me and shows me a cross-section of my body.
＜Ah—————————＞
tell me to run away
It was a beautiful tone that resonated with the world, but the meaning contained in it was never kind.
If Jack’s attack shot up from the ground and made a hole in the sky—.
Close to an optical weapon, it was a kind of disaster in the eyes of an ordinary person.
——The answer fell from the sky to overturn the earth.
It did not take long for the pillar of light made of magic to reach the earth.
However, there was something that valiantly stood in the way of that calamity.
“All members, raise your shield—!”
A paladin’s word overlaps the shield and the shield. One, two, three… … It kept adding to it.
In an instant, a holy body was erected.
A wall made of shields surrounded the Holy Knights, including Jack and Paladin.
and.
Inside the Iron Curtain, a paladin quietly starts chanting.
“Lord, do not allow this holy city to that demon.”
Originally, it was a sentence that would have been just an ordinary prayer, but the moment the wind, will, and magic of the paladin and all the Holy Knights were mixed, the result changed completely.
– Mana began to overlap on top of the overlapping shields.
A part of the superpower that exists in this world.
It was developed by viewing the magic that exists in the world as part of energy, and its texture is completely different from the characteristics acquired innately.
– The endless magic barrier created a new wall on top of it as if it couldn’t be satisfied with just one layer.
It is called by all kinds of names such as magic, magic engineering, sorcery, and shamanism, but the root is one.
-The huge and magnificent triple wall made of magic was completed in an instant.
How to deal with mana.
alias.
A miracle called 『Magic Law』.
Through that power, an impregnable castle.
A great barrier built to protect the altitude of a thousand years.
– 「Theodosius Wall」
The magic that used it as its source was reproduced in the hands of the Holy Knights.
Holy knights who follow Catholicism cannot easily use the spells of the orthodox church, but as they are now—pagans, demons, and dragons on the battlefield are the same—as long as the battlefield environment is perfect, they can use it as long as they have sufficient magic power.
That’s because magic doesn’t discriminate between people.
“Prepare for shock, it’s coming!”
-Kwaaang!!!
At the same time as the Paladin’s words, human achievement and dragon’s breath collided.
Paladins and holy knights watched nervously.
A thick cold sweat ran down the back of Paladin’s neck.
Among the triple barriers spread by the Holy Knights, the one that lightly broke the first wall collided with the second wall.
The moment when red-hot sparks fly in all directions due to the collision of magical powers.
“Paladin, I recommend defeating the troops from now on.”
Make sure to read from noble mtl dot com
Jack, who had been thinking hard about something all this time, finally opened his mouth.
“what?”
“He said he recommends defeating the knights, Paladin.”
“Are you insane? Jack Daniel? Do you defeat the knights?!” Do you know how many curses were put on that dragon with the help of the knights?”
The sound of grinding teeth leaked from the paladin’s mouth.
Then, he shouted in a small voice so that his agitation would be heard by the members who had built a barrier in front of him.
To Paladin’s small shout, Jack answered calmly.
“According to my memory, there were five.”
“Yes, 「skin softening」, 「strengthening gravity」, 「reduced blood flow」, 「magical overload」, 「strengthening fatigue」. There are as many as 5 curses stacked to the limit! 5 pieces! Are you still going to defeat the knights?”
“And you didn’t understand what I meant. I told them to defeat the knights, but they didn’t say complete exclusion from the battle. If the curse is maintained, it should be possible even in the outskirts of the city—?”
“Ha, it is a dragon that was not able to bring it down despite being covered by the knights. Have you come up with a way to drop such a dragon?”
“Yes. came up.”
At Jack’s concise and neat answer, Paladin’s mouth widened.
“… … If it’s such a good number, why haven’t we used it until now?”
“Didn’t I just tell you? I said, ‘I’ve got it’.”
Paladin’s fist trembled.
Regardless of his reaction, Jack took the bottle from his waistband, raised it, and gulped down what was left of the bottle.
Paladin frowned at the smell of alcohol wafting from Jack’s mouth.
“Before hunting the dragon, I met a boy.”
“… … .”
“The boy’s sword was too cumbersome. There was a lot of meat. It was full of useless emotions. Until now, I thought emotions were a hindrance to swinging a sword.”
“… … .”
“But when I looked back, it was strange. According to my logic, the boy had no talent. But he has reached the peak.”
Paladin quietly stared at Jack’s face.
His expression was full of certainty.
“I changed my gaze to resolve the question. Instead of rationality and rationality, emotion was the standard. So it was only then that he understood his sword, and it wasn’t a useless move. It wasn’t that there was a lot of flab. it was brilliant It was gorgeous and grand. I thought that his sword that could draw constellations was beautiful.”
Paladin felt the strong scent of alcohol not only in Jack’s mouth, but also in his words.
“… … So what’s the point?”
“There is something I want to experiment with.”
“Experiment?”
At Paladin’s words, Jack raised his head and touched the handle of his sword.
It was a useless act that the usual Jack would not have done.
“I have been fighting with logic and rationality based on reason, excluding all emotions. But in the end, the logics clashed, and we failed to capture the dragon. So we have to change the way.”
“… … Change the way?”

Jack turned his gaze toward the second barrier, which was shattered.
“I will put my feelings into it from now on.”
Alcohol is an amplifying agent of emotion, and through Jack’s words, Paladin could understand the meaning of the bottle in Jack’s hand.
“It’s not perfect yet, but it’s worth a try. So, I ask for your cooperation. I don’t have the confidence to control you so you don’t get caught up in an overly distracting sword.”
“… … It’s not like you. No, if it fails, throw it away right away. Is this really yours?”
-While the conversation was in progress, the second barrier was shattered.
“Judgment quickly, time is running out.”

Jack put the sword in his hand on his waist and urged the paladin.
Paladin was troubled. He quietly took a deep breath.
And then.
“evacuation! evacuation! All members of the team, immediately spread out and retreat to the outskirts of the city!”
breathed out
At his command, the crew turned around.
The eyes of the members full of questions met the eyes of the resolute knight leader.
– Chalkang.
The signal was that Jack’s sword, which had been leaded, was quietly pulled out.
The walls of the crusaders were helplessly demolished.
The castle wall, which seemed to last forever, was finally captured like the ending of my original story.

Jack lowered his stance and quietly lifted his head and looked ahead.
The knights who lost what to protect scattered in all directions, but the remnants of the castle wall remained instead, buying time against the dragon’s breath for a while.
– The last wall cracked.
Hurry up. not that much time
“Whoa—”
Make sure to read from noble mtl dot com
Jack let out a deep breath.
I remembered the boy’s sword.
He recalled Taeyang’s gesture.
I recalled everything I could remember in my head.
Geumtaeyang, torn and rubbed at every joint, was bleeding.
it’s red
It was easy to infer that his heart was beating fast through his rough breathing.
– It is clear that it has been pushed to the limit. Because he faced an enemy stronger than himself.
The castle wall is in Jack’s field of vision.
Incontinence ran in all directions on the transparent barrier made of pure white magic.
Beyond the barrier, the crashed dragon’s breath roared to consume Jack.

Jack’s heart in front of him begins to beat violently.
-The boy made an effort to put his limitations into a single sword.
reproduce
No, I had to reproduce it.
In order to survive the overwhelming violence in front of them.
-The incontinence of the barrier has become thicker.
A single sword is enough. You have to put everything in it.
Magic power gathers in Jack’s sword. A group of lights began to gather around the slowly glowing sword.
I could feel the heat in my hand holding the scabbard.
The solidified magic power was emitted beyond the scabbard.
We can still do more.
squeeze
Until the last mana.
drive away
until the last sigh.
‘Quick!’ Unable to withstand the magical power applied to the sword, the scabbard was shattered.
At the same time, with the same sound, the last barrier collapsed.
As the scabbard, which split and cracked into powder, was scattered, what was contained within it was revealed.
it’s a cool blue
His magic power was blue and cold.

Jack frowned.
because it was not fully covered.
Is it also insufficient?
It was thought that his body, which had been devoid of emotions for a long time, caused a rejection reaction.
If the boy’s was a blazing sun, Jack’s was a cold moon.
The moon eventually falls short of the sun.
However, Jack nodded inwardly.
It was lacking compared to that boy’s, but considering the difference in skills between the two, it was enough to contain the same strength.
‘With this, I take a step forward.’
A pillar of light came right in front of him.

Jack swung his sword.
crashed

Jack’s sword pierced the tip of the dragon’s breath.
one split
one split
There was no grandiose binge.
Because the sword containing the moonlight only cut through the pillar of light.
Make sure to read from noble mtl dot com
Jack’s sword split the pillar of light that erased everything, made of magic.
The corner of Jack’s mouth is about to go up as he sees it.
『I declare it.』
It was not a very loud voice.
『A battle beyond this, I will not tolerate.』
I felt that it was a small but clear, kind of thing that embraced someone’s heart somewhere.
Instead of drinking, someone’s voice broke through the battlefield.
—What happened the moment the voice took over the space was something Jack had never experienced in his entire life.—
‘Have you stopped the function with just one word? I?’
I had never heard of or seen such an existence in the world.
Accidents were still possible.
But other than that, everything stopped.
It wasn’t just Jack who stopped.
The world reflected in his eyes seemed to have stopped time.
The flying dust hardened.
The air flow stopped.
The scattered knights stopped like plaster statues, and the exhaled breath of the dragon and that guy was no exception.
The hand holding the sword does not move.
The heavy feeling that had been pressing down on my hand had disappeared.
With the dragon’s breath parted, his black breath parted.
Everything in the world has stopped.
only one person.
Only the girl descending into the battlefield with whitish flames in her hands was exempt from that rule.

Jack thought.
‘As far as I know, no one who could perform such a miracle existed in the world until recently.’
Called.
Goro-.
Everyone had no choice but to watch her slowly descend from the sky.
——This being was just born.
-widely.
With light footsteps, 『The Saint Who Slayed the Seven Deadly Sins』 descended onto the battlefield.
