104 – If It’s for You (9)
“Leonard?!”
Leonard jumped into the phase portal and hugged Ornette from behind.
“Why on earth are you being so extreme, as is the Demon King? Who told you to do this while giving up your life!”
As if rescuing a drowning person, Leonard stretched out his arms as a sacred shield, dragging Ornette.
However, most of the sacred shields are already sinking into the phase portal.
“Magic!”
Ornette hastily casted a spell, but since she had already poured all her magic into opening the phase portal, there was no way the magic would be effective.
Ornette shouted, tearing off Leonard’s arm.
“Leave me behind!”
“Are you crazy? If that were the case, you wouldn’t have come here in the first place!”
“You too must die!”
“We won’t die! We can both live!”
Leonard pulled out his age trend and held it high above his head.
“Do something!”
However, Nightrend did not react at all.
“Hey you bitch!”
Leonard swore harshly, something he rarely said.
“If you don’t want to be trapped by the sword until you get behind it, move quickly!”
Leonard and Ornette sank beneath the darkness of the phase portal.
* * * * *
“What is that… ?”
Isidore of the Zerebe Watchtower gazed in fascination at the phase portal in the middle of the plain.
In the darkness, where it felt like you could be sucked in just by looking at it, a wave of magic power so strong that you couldn’t even imagine was spreading.
It was a kind of wave that High Wizard Isidore could not possibly understand with his common sense.
At first, when an unknown wizard appeared and created that thing, I thought it was just a larger-than-normal portal.
Normally, a portal can’t have any effect on a Death Knight?
However, as Isidore watched it grow bigger and engulf the Death Knights, he realized that it was a new level of magic that did not fit the description of a portal at all.
What kind of magic is this… ?
More than that, unless you’re an archmage, there’s someone in this world who can implement that kind of magic to the end?
Is that possible?
Indeed, the unknown wizard floating in the center of the circle of darkness began to slowly sink down.
It cannot withstand the power of the magic itself and is pulled like gravity.
At that time, a long beam of light crossing the black circle stretched out from the other end.
Isidore narrowed his eyes and saw a person running along the path of light.
It was Leonard.
What is that crazy person thinking!? Can’t you see everything is sinking now?!
Even when he encountered the great devil, he rushed forward like that.
No, like that?!
“You crazy bastard!!”
Isidore screamed when he saw Leonard jumping into the middle of the darkness.
Leonard, who was struggling while holding the wizard, continued to sink beneath the darkness.
How are you going to appear as a demon hunter in a place where even Death Knight can’t escape!?
There’s no use pulling out something like Nightrend!
A person in their right mind would never do something like that.
That kid is crazy.
We were going to stab that crazy guy in the back.
However…
If Leonard disappears here with the Death Knights, it’s all good, right?
It’s good for the principality and the empire because there are no Death Knights, and I’m good because I can get rid of the false accusation that I used magic to drive away the Death Knights, and I won’t be fired from the Imperial Castle Wizard, and Emeric will easily rise to the rank of captain of the Imperial Castle Guard and lead me, and so I wait for the Emperor to die of old age. All we have to do is crown the Scarecrow Prince, right?
After that, we can completely take control of the imperial castle and kill only the 4th princess, who is a thorn in our side, right?
The corners of Isidore’s mouth slowly rose.
However, that smile quickly turned into fear and astonishment.
It was because of a sudden ear-piercing scream.
[Kyaaa Ahhhhh
Isidore sat down, clutching the railing, screaming so desperately that his blood ran cold and his vision blurred.
[Kaa!!!!!!!!!!]
The fallen imperial soldiers began to sob as they screamed out their minds.
Isidore clicked his teeth and put his eyes above the railing.
And then I screamed with all my might.
* * * * *
“Director! Ornette! No!!”
As Ornette and Leonard disappeared beneath the darkness of the phase portal, Celestine cried and struggled.
“I can’t feel the master’s presence,,,”
The golem sitting on Lucene’s shoulder shouted her again.
“aah! No! Please let me go!”
However, as the phase portal continued to grow, Lucene did not let go of Celestine and retreated.
Lucene also doesn’t want Leonard to die.
But there was nothing Celestine or Lucene could do right now.
I can only hope that Leonard finds Ornette and escapes from there in some extraordinary way.
“Suddenly, I feel something,,, very dangerous,,,,,,,,,,,”
The golem sitting on her shoulder her tapped Lucene on the head her her her.
“What do you mean?”
“It seems like something very evil and deadly is coming”
Lucene suddenly wondered if this stone was talking nonsense that had nothing to do with it, so she flinched for a moment and looked around.
Extremely developed senses were warning Lucene.
After a while, Celestine, who had been making a fuss to be let go, became quiet.
Even the dullest Celestine felt a strange current.
[aa!!]
Celestine went crazy at the sudden bizarre scream and covered her ears.
This is Nightrend’s scream?!
Feeling the last bastion tremble like crazy, Lucene looked around quickly.
Could it be that Leonard succeeded in escaping somewhere else?
At that time, something white and gray suddenly popped out from under the darkness of the phase portal.
At first glance, it looked like a whale jumping out of the sea.
It has a cylindrical elongated shape and a huge size.
But Lucene soon realized that it was not a strange-looking whale, but a finger.
This is because four gray pillars rose up after them.
The palms and slender curved arms appeared along them.
The arm, which seemed to go up without end, slowly bent and the palm touched the ground to the right of the Zerebe Watchtower.
Lucene was almost suffocated by its overwhelming size
Giant? A monster from another world? What is it?
The second arm rose up and touched the ground to the left of Zerebe Watchtower.
Eventually, the center of the phase portal bulged, and a large head appeared, tearing the darkness that seemed like it would never go out from side to side.
[aa!!]
It raised its head towards the sky and screamed.
Bloody tears flowed like a waterfall from the black cheeks and red eyes.
A woman with pale dark gray skin and short hair… ? Should I consider her a woman?
Judging by her plump lips, sharp nose, and slim face, it seems clear that she is a woman.
No, she was definitely a woman.
Because the upper body crawling out of the phase portal supported by the ground on both sides had breasts attached.
But what on earth is that…
Lucene held her Thunder Mite tightly.
I don’t know what it is, but it’s clear that it shouldn’t exist in this world.
We have to kill it before it completely escapes the phase portal!
Celestine, who was completely stunned to fight it, and Lucene, who was putting the still ticking golem on the floor, were shocked when they saw the floor.
Isn’t the phase portal that was right in front of you slowly moving away?
Are phase portals shrinking?
Then Leonardo?
In that case, that giant could not possibly be… ?
Lucene made a quick deduction and instead of charging at the giant, she withdrew her Thundermite and began to look around with fierce eyes.
Over there, a Death Knight in unusual armor, swinging a large two-handed sword like a baton and leading the Death Knights out of the boundary of the phase portal, came into Lucene’s sight her her her her.
* * * * *
The unknown gray giant was now above the ground, almost up to his hips, and bent his back with both arms on the ground.
As it happened, the giant placed both hands on the left and right sides of the Zerebe watchtower, and the bloody tears pouring from the giant’s eyes covered the watchtower.
[Uuuuu…]
Making a strange noise, the giant looked down at the Zerebe watchtower.
Isidore, standing at the highest point of the watchtower, covered in his blood, made eye contact with the giant from very close to the front.
“Ah…”
Little by little…
Isidore did not even notice the urine flowing down between his legs.
Because I really lost my mind.
The giant’s eyes had an overwhelming power that seemed to overwhelm heaven and earth, and all beings caught between them.
Those eyes were like a deep and infinite universe, and burning flames of emotion were blooming within the abyss.
The colors flowing out from a mixture of anger, sadness, and pain had the power to easily overwhelm anyone’s heart.
Upon seeing this, Isidore’s inner self was immediately filled with a clash of emotions, like a swirling storm, and he felt like a small leaf being blown around by a strong wind.
In front of those eyes, Isidore realized how meaningless and small his life was, his experiences, and everything he had known in the world were.
Her spirit was instantly destroyed in front of those overwhelming eyes.
* * * * *
When the gray giant tore through the darkness and came out.
The situation of Tancred Fortress was the same as that of Zerebe Watchtower.
At the giant’s tearing screams, the entire defense team, including the leader, trembled and tried to throw them flat on the ground.
The unidentifiable black circle in the middle of the plain was rapidly shrinking around the giant’s waist.
It was good that that strange darkness was disappearing, but the problem is that more than half of the Death Knights are still alive and well.
As long as those remain, it’s not over yet.
Meanwhile, the phase portal, which continued to shrink, completely disappeared near the giant’s waist.
Then, the giant who was looking down at the Zerebe watchtower, shedding bloody tears, began to quickly shrink.
The giant screamed again, shrinking toward the ground like water being sucked out of a hole in a dock.
[Kaa!!]
The sound of their fingernails scratching the floor as if they didn’t want to be dragged further was so terrible.
However, the giant shrunk helplessly and was eventually dragged down to the end point where the phase portals gathered and disappeared, disappearing.
