60. Garum’s test
As the green light began to entwine around, the bones of the huge dog that had been furiously driving Surt and the summoned creatures collapsed as they were, and the energy contained within them was sucked into the green storm.
The Roman mage who saw this frowned.
“Didn’t you stop it after all?”
A request from the Roman emperor to him.
“It would be best if we could stop it, but if we can’t, we’ll take our time. At least we have to wait until our great plan is completed.”
He had to drag out time for a great deal to escape eternal pain, but even that failed in the end.
All that’s left now is to hope that the emperor dies in the storm.
Although the gates of Hell were temporarily closed, the forces of Hell continued to escape, and thanks to that, the forces of Hell did not disappear.
Even Roman or Sandria couldn’t give up this place easily.
It was not a disadvantageous situation, but it was a situation that was pushing, so I attacked the enemies with all my might.
“When the emperor comes out of that storm, it’s over. Before that, deal as much damage as possible to the enemies!”
At Balkan’s command, the Roman army used the army of Hell to harass Ignit.
However, because the Ignit army was created with the assumption of an army of hell, they managed to withstand it by using their strength.
The problem was the Allies.
“Cool!”
“You lasted a long time.”
The sword of the Golden Hawk of the Desert was driven into the heart of the old man Douglas, and blood gushed out.
Then, life quickly began to drain from Douglas’ eyes.
“last… … blow… … hell… … the power of… … is it?”
“That’s right.”
“… … that… … power someday… … cost… … cast… … .”
“Did you write it without knowing it?”
The golden hawk smiled bitterly as if he knew.
“Go to hell first.”
Having said that, the golden hawk drew his sword. Then Douglas, who had barely stood still, lost his strength and collapsed.
As the old man Douglas collapsed while vomiting blood, the Allied Forces, which had already been pushed back, began to be pushed even more.
The magician of the magic kingdom Arkan came, but it was too late.
This is because even if the master-class power is now matched, it has been pushed away from the momentum.
The Allied Forces, which had no strength against the already ferocious Hell’s army, were pushed back after the death of Douglas, one of the Allied pillars.
As if to let them know that only Ignit is the strongest, not you guys, he smashed the wires with a wave of force.
At this point, Sandria’s large army attacked with the momentum to annihilate the main forces of the allied forces. But at some point, their advance had to stop.
thump!
This is because the dragons that ate people while screaming ferociously in the sky lost their power one by one and fell to the ground.
Then Sandria’s commanders hurriedly looked up at the sky.
The demonic dragons that roamed the sky as if they were their own homes lost their power and collapsed, and starting with that, the armies of hell also gradually began to lose their power.
Then the golden hawk of the desert urgently looked at the gates of hell.
“Could it be already?”
I frowned as I looked at the green flames that were burning more and more.
The worst they expected was happening to Kariel who was in front of the gates of hell.
Much faster than Roman and Sandria expected.
In the end, Sandria prepares to retreat by throwing the army of hell, which is gradually losing power, as bait.
Looking at the huge gates of hell shaking as if they were going to collapse at any moment, Roman’s army also decided to retreat.
However, unlike what it looked like from the outside, the gate to hell was solid.
This is because Kariel will never disappear until she is recognized by Gareum.
[Receive recognition from Garum’s last soul fragment.]
A translucent spear floating above Kariel’s head.
And a huge dog looking down from above.
Unlike when he lost his temper and attacked Surt, the soul of Garum, freed from the shackles of magic with the power of Kariel, was in full shape.
And the force was just as powerful as its distinct form.
“Ugh… … Ugh… … .”
Cariel, who had to overcome this ordeal alone without Surt, Skoll, or Agni, looked up at Gareum, breathing heavily.
Cariel clenched his teeth as he watched Gareum showing his teeth with indifferent eyes.
A soul fragment that has no body and has lost most of its life.
For such a being, Kariel was struggling.
-Is this all?
At Gareum’s question, Kariel stood up again.
Although it had been a long time since he had already crossed the limit, he raised the fire again with his red-hot body.
Seeing it, the gigantic shape of Gareum rushed again.
A shapeless green body smashed the wall of flames that Kariel had made and attacked Kariel.
The moment its huge front paws hit the place where Kariel was, a powerful force that turns the surrounding area into a blazing earth.
However, Kariel resisted Garum while avoiding it.
-Are you just trying to get my approval to this extent?
In response to Gareum’s words, Kariel created a bigger flame instead of an answer.
Gareum pushed Kariel, who did not give up until the very end, even more fiercely.
– For what are you enduring my ordeal so far?
– What is your wish?
-Do you not resent the world that put you in this situation?
-Don’t you want to run away from everything and rest?
The spirit of chasm that continues to ask while pushing fiercely.
A charm that seduces while showing a sweet welcome.
He also showed his past self and the illusion of living a happy life on Earth.
But instead of answering, Kariel threw fire at Garum.
Seen from afar, a heroic figure that does not waver no matter what temptations you face. But in reality, it was just that I didn’t have the strength to answer because I was tired.
‘It’s hard and I think I’m going to die, but I keep asking.’
As if he could hear his inner thoughts, Gareum smiled and continued to ask.
Gareum asks endless questions as if he has a motor in his mouth.
Kariel frowned and asked Gareum who kept asking questions without answering.
“Aren’t you tired of talking so hard alone?”
– Talking to yourself… … . Aren’t you already answering?
Having said that, Gareum smiled and pointed at Kariel’s flames with her huge paws.
Did he get some answers from his flames?
Gareum smiled again and attacked Kariel.
-ruler! So shall we start the question and answer again?
In the workshop that started again, a strange question-and-answer period with only one question asked continued.
Did hundreds of thousands of questions and answers end like that?
This time, Gareum looks at Kariel while creating a bigger green flame than ever before.
-The cause of the priests of hell is for the whole soul of the eastern continent. What is your cause?
After stopping the attack and looking at him quietly, Kariel stared at Gareum.
Then Kariel also straightened his posture and gave the first correct answer.
“My cause is for many to lead a peaceful life.”
– You’re great.
At Gareum’s words, Kariel shook her head.
“My wish is to live a peaceful and free life. I just realized that in order to achieve that, the world has to do the same.”
Gareum, who was still looking into his eyes at Kariel’s answer, spat out an incomprehensible cry toward the sky.
At that moment, the world where only Gareum and Kariel were in began to crumble little by little.
-Compared to the priests of hell, it’s such a small wind. However, the cause created as a result is truer and greater than anyone else.
Saying that, Gareum smiled and said.
-Freedom and peace… … . Even though we’re going the same way, we’re going in such different directions… … . That’s funny. Might be worth watching
At the end of those words, the gigantic figure gradually turned into powder and began to disappear.
– Watch me. How will your cause be accomplished… … . Will your cause surpass that of the priest? … .
A voice that sounds like a mirage.
At the same time, a new translucent window that had been fixed was created.
[You have been acknowledged by all the pieces of karma. As a result, you have acquired the true qualifications to receive the ordeal.]
[Received part of Hell’s Memory as a reward.]
Illusions that appear as the greenish powder of Gareum is absorbed.
It was happening now in Hell.
The demon king, who jumped into hell by himself, sprinkled the relics of the old gods and resurrected the ghosts of the past.
The living should not be in hell.
The Demon King, who had already been ejected from Hell and returned to the Demon World, was busy preparing to return to the continent again.
However, through the relics he sowed, the lofty specters were resurrected, and Hell became chaos itself.
Even with this alone, Hell is in a situation where all the boundaries have been destroyed. When the Roman Emperor tried to revive the old palace (Eludnir) of Hell by making a huge altar using the traces of Hel, the ghosts under Hel’s command were resurrected and the ancient started fighting the ghosts of
Due to the Demon King and the Roman Emperor, Hell was caught up in an endless war.
It was a situation that exceeded the capabilities of Modgud, who managed Hell on behalf of Hell, who had already died, so the aftermath of chaos would soon spill over to the continent.
“… … .”
Kariel, who saw all the current phenomena in hell, gritted her teeth without saying a word.
This adds one more reason to be recognized by Gareum. If Hell could not be stopped using Gareum, the continent was certain to perish.
[The pieces of Gareum’s soul have come together. Gareum’s soul goes to the body somewhere.]
The moment the words of the translucent spear ended, Kariel’s body absorbed a huge amount of green powder.
At the same time, the patterns engraved all over the body emitted light and soared high into the sky.
A soul that has disappeared into a body that is sleeping somewhere on the continent.
As the full energy of Garum was completely drained, an emptiness filled with it.
“Ugh… … Ugh… … .”
The storm that disappeared with the pillar of light.
At the same time, Kariel, who appeared at the same time, collapsed on the floor while breathing heavily.
– Hang on. And don’t forget that feeling.
Surt, who suddenly approached me, gave Kariel advice.
The strength that filled the body as if it would explode as she obtained the tenth piece of cham, and the level that temporarily increased as a result.
That feeling remained dim even in the dreadful emptiness.
Was it because of Surt’s advice?
Kariel, suffering from emptiness, closed her eyes and calmed her rough breathing, trying to recall even a little of her senses.
After recalling the power that had been filled for such a long time, Kariel finally opened her eyes.
“your majesty.”
“What about the gates of hell?”
Kariel looked up at the gates of hell at the urgent call of Tarion and sighed.
Fortunately, the gate to hell, which was maintained by Garum’s huge soul fragment, has completely disappeared. Perhaps because the gates of hell were completely closed, the army of hell also completely disappeared.
All that was left was the groaning of the Allies and Ignit’s troops, who had suffered massive damage.
“Get your troops together as quickly as possible.”
“Are you going to attack the Roman Emperor?”
At Tarion’s question, Kariel shook his head.
“You have to go here.”
A flame from Kariel’s hand. It soon turned into an arrow and pointed in one direction.
“… … Where is this headed?”
“The place where Garum’s body sleeps.”
The place where the body of Garum, who was said to be the gatekeeper of hell, slept.
Garum, who has now become more perfect by absorbing the perfected soul, will be waiting for Kariel.
To stop the Roman Emperor.
to block the demons.
blocking the gates of hell.
Recognition of karma, which is a prerequisite for achieving all of this.
To receive it, Kariel secretly summoned only the Royal Guard, Tarion, and a few imperial knights.
