64. Last War! (4)
As the great war, which put the life and death of mankind on the line, began in earnest, the earth shook and the aftermath also occurred in the towering mountains of giants.
Trees and stones fell as it shook, and parts of the mountain collapsed.
However, strangely, Asgard, which was built on the highest mountain, was not affected at all.
woohoo!
“Is it a monster?”
The huge mountain shook as flesh exploded with the explosion.
The huge mountain, which had no effect even in the slightest from the new magic cannon and the mighty power of the demons, was shaken by the demon king’s punch.
“Such a person has not yet reached the level of a god… … .”
At Kariel’s words, there was a strange silence in the small aircraft.
Marquis Sicario’s expression darkened as he watched the remnants of the past, which had not reached the ranks of gods but made a name for themselves in history, explode like firecrackers.
The demon king climbs quickly while smashing the giants guarding the mountain path.
The poisonous mist created throughout the mountain, the blade-like wind, and the lava erupting like a volcano couldn’t stop the demon king from walking.
As if all of this was a game, he rather laughed and smashed the remnants of the past.
“… … .”
Marquis Sicario even breaks out in a cold sweat from the pressure.
Glenn, who has reached the rank of Grand Master, or Kariel, who has powers estimated to be on a similar level.
On the other hand, he hasn’t broken through the wall yet.
There is definitely something caught, but when you look closely, you can’t figure out what it is.
His bodily senses were telling him, ‘You’ve crossed the wall!’ but his head couldn’t comprehend it, and he was currently in the state of Marquis Sicario.
That’s why it became more urgent.
Kariel, who noticed the marquis’ condition, called him quietly.
“marquis.”
“… … Yes, Your Majesty.”
“Don’t be in a hurry.”
Kariel looked at the Marquis and continued.
“Wasn’t your strong point staying cool at all times?”
At the words of consolation, Marquis Sicario looked at Kariel with trembling eyes.
Then, Kariel made a face that seemed to know everything.
What does the still young emperor know?
However, Kariel patted his shoulder without saying a word, as if he really understood how he felt.
His eyes seemed to really understand the situation of Marquis Sicario.
He who was incompetent in his previous life.
The feelings I felt while running away after the imperial palace collapsed when I inherited the empire in the worst situation without any power compared to my younger brothers.
Marquis Sicario was feeling a similar feeling right now.
“You are helping enough. So I picked you up and brought you here.”
With that said, it was time for Kariel to comfort Marquis Sicario.
thud!
There was the sound of something collapsing and the sound of a small plane breaking down.
“… … It seems to be a barrier.”
At Glenn’s words, Kariel looked up at the sky.
If there is only one, it is likely to break and fly into the air, but it was difficult because it was made up of dozens of layers.
Above all, the aircraft could not stand the higher it flew due to the lack of technology.
“I will have to walk from here.”
After muttering like that, Kariel drove the small plane to the top of the mountain.
The small plane, which failed to properly apply the landing technology due to lack of technology, was thrown into the mountain as it was.
A small plane that shattered with a small explosion.
Kariel and the two swordsmen who walked out of the explosion that would not even be able to find the shape of a corpse if it were an ordinary human.
“A monster is a monster.”
The Demon King ascends while smashing the remains of the past, who rushed to block the road to Asgard.
As a result, the path the Demon King had pierced was full of unidentified flesh.
The problem was that the Demon King climbed too quickly, so there were still a lot of remnants of the past around the mountain.
“You have to go through them. Can you do it?”
In response to Kariel’s question, the two swordsmen bowed their heads with firm expressions.
“I believe.”
The moment he said that, Glenn moved first.
The moment the sword was drawn, the space shook and the giants in a straight line collapsed.
However, they did not die at once as they were also famous in the Age of Mythology. Even if their legs were cut, they tried to reattach them with incredible regenerative power, but in the end they collapsed one by one due to the space-slicing slash.
“Also… … Is there a difference?”
Kariel, watching Glenn fight from behind, put on a serious expression.
Glenn was quickly approaching the level of his previous life, but there were many things that were lacking compared to the overwhelming power that the demon king showed.
But at least because of Glenn, we can put our hopes on.
“… … marquis.”
He once reigned as Ignit’s strongest sword, but there was a clear difference between him, who struggled even with a remnant of the past, and Glenn, who was leading the way.
Even though they said they got a sense of something, if they couldn’t break through the wall in the end, they had no choice but to have a hard time even with one remnant of the past.
From ancient times to now, there have been countless hero candidates, but there is a reason why there are so few heroes that will eventually be recorded as legends.
-Are you just going to watch?
Kariel nodded at Surtur’s words that appeared before she knew it.
His power was not infinite.
There was once an illusion that it was close to infinity.
I thought my body couldn’t stand it, and my firearms were close to infinite.
But that was an illusion.
This is because when he fought Hel, his strength was insufficient to deal with those who had reached the ranks of gods.
That is why I was planning to devote all my energy to the decisive battle with the Demon King as much as possible.
“Ugh… … Ugh… … .”
Marquis Sicario gets more tired as he climbs the mountain.
Nevertheless, he did not give up.
His pride, who once reigned as the strongest sword, made his strong heart, who had defended the empire alone against Seongguk, endure.
Unlike the Demon King, Glenn and Marquis Sicario were getting tired, but Kariel did not show any power.
– You’re growing.
As Surt said, Glenn was growing up.
It’s still not as overwhelming as the Demon King, but with a cleaner swordsmanship and efficient use of power, the tiredness disappeared compared to when he first climbed the mountain.
And it was the same for Marquis Sicario.
At first, he had a hard time dealing with any remnants of the past, but as he started pushing two or more people, the area where his power spread gradually widened.
-I think it’s time for us to step out?
“okay.”
Human power is not infinite.
It is the same with the body. No matter how master-class beings show powers that are not human-like, there were definitely limits, and the same was true of the Grand Master.
Kariel showed off for the first time on behalf of those who were tired of dealing with strong players one after another.
Huge summoning objects that were summoned suddenly blocked the way.
“Rest.”
Kariel looked down at the mountain as she spoke while looking at Glenn and Marquis Sicario.
In the distance, airships and demons continued to fight.
Troops fighting non-stop for days.
When one side gets tired of fighting, the other side attacks, aiming for the gap, and another unit attacks the empty spot.
As a result, the entire huge front line continued to fight without a break.
It was like Kariel and the two swordsmen climbing the mountain day and night cutting down the remnants of the past.
“Your Majesty, I am ready.”
“Can I take a little more rest?”
He nodded when Kariel asked worriedly, looking at Glenn, who still looked tired.
And it was the same with Marquis Sicario.
As the two of them held the sword in their hands again, Kariel, who quickly reverse-summoned the summoned body, closed her eyes to replenish the power consumed.
So when the two of them got tired, Kariel moved, and when strength was restored, Kariel regained strength and followed again.
Meanwhile, Glenn grew rapidly.
On the other hand, Marquis Sicario seemed to be blocked, and from a certain point he developed a sword that was inferior to the previous one.
As a result, the marquis is beaten up by the remnants of the past and even suffers internal injuries.
Kariel, who was worse than him, tried to use his power, but Surtur shook his head resolutely.
– Leave it.
As Surtur said, he looked at Glenn.
Then he too nodded and agreed with Surt’s words.
The path of the sword he had previously adhered to was shaken, and the marquis endured it by biting his lips even though he suffered internal injuries.
As he was increasingly on the defensive, when even a ray of reason he had was blown away, black shadows spread from his body.
Watching the aura that was trying to swallow Kariel and Glenn before he knew it, Glenn hurriedly took Kariel and ran forward.
“We’d better move first.”
The moment Glenn finished speaking, a huge collision occurred in Asgard far away.
A wave so powerful that the battlefield that rises below temporarily stops with just the power wave.
Kariel, who sensed it up close, looked at Marquis Sicario with a serious expression, nodded, and quickly moved forward.
Power was saved enough.
So now was the time to run.
cooong!
A powerful shockwave that spreads out again.
With that, Kariel and Glenn, who felt that the battle between the demon king and those who were in the ranks of the gods had finally begun, went up quickly.
As Kariel and Glenn, who got on top of Surt, went up the mountain, they concentrated on the climb, wiping away those who were attacking them.
Was it because of the conflict in Asgard?
The weak remnants were thrown into chaos and tried to escape from the great mountain.
-monster… … monster… … .
I don’t know what I saw from above, but a woman warrior with wings ran away.
And it was the same for others.
Even giants, dragons, and fairies tried to escape from Asgard.
The barrier that already covered the earth of the gods had long since been shattered.
– It’s just this! You mean these are gods!
Another intense collision occurred with the demon king’s high voice that could be heard all the way down the mountain.
Part of the land that made up Asgard was broken and fell, and the floating islands could not handle the aftermath of the force and crashed.
In the meantime, Kariel and Glenn finally arrived at the stairs leading to the Land of the Gods.
puck!
The head of someone falling down exploded as it hit the ground.
Remnants of the past of one who was once worshiped as a god.
When I finally reached the top, leaving behind the corpses that fell every time I climbed the stairs, I saw the corpses of giants scattered all over the place.
And in the distance, I saw the demon king dealing with the gods alone.
“Can you win?”
“I will risk my life to stop it.”
Glenn answered Kariel’s question with a firm expression.
Although Glenn has grown more in the days he has climbed the mountain, he is still weak compared to the overwhelming power of the Demon King.
But I had to do it nonetheless.
At that time, the demon king, who had been fighting the gods far away, smiled at Kariel and Glenn who finally arrived.
– Ha ha ha ha!
A demon lord who bursts into light.
The Demon King deliberately created this situation for entertainment even though he knew that he would be aiming for a time when he was weak.
Then he condensed the demonic energy and exploded it at the gods who were rushing towards him.
-Come here before they all die.
Having said that, the Demon King stretched out his hand toward the sky.
At that moment, a black lightning bolt fell from the sky.
Seeing this, Kariel and Glenn’s eyes widened.
The power of the power was obviously weak compared to what the Demon King had manifested. However, what surprised them was that they didn’t feel the magic.
“The road to God… … .”
“Not yet.”
Glenn stared at Kariel who said that, and drew his sword.
The demon lord has not yet become a god.
Then I had to stop, there’s still a chance… … .
There were beings that stopped them.
Remnants of the past that succumbed to the powerful power of the Demon King.
Looking at them, Kariel and Glenn’s expressions hardened.
The demon king wants to play the game now.
‘Would it be quicker for me to become a god? Would it be quicker for you to get here?’
‘Can you stop me?’
‘Grow more. So please me!’
All these messages could be read through the remnants of the past that stood in their way.
It was an obvious intention, but Kariel and Glenn had no choice but to play with the devil’s intention. It was because it was their turn to do so this time, just as the demon king would have suffered even if they knew their plans.
“Let’s break through at once.”
-okay.
Surt suddenly revealed a gigantic figure.
With him at the center, Skoll and Agni appeared on either side.
– What about hair?
“yet.”
Kariel firmly shook her head at Surt’s question. Gareum’s summoning consumed too much power.
Above all, unless it was directly related to hell, there were great restrictions on power.
In addition, the current Garreum was working on stabilizing Hell. That’s why it had to be used at the crucial moment.
Carriel moves toward the demon king with Glenn while saving his secret weapon.
The demon king laughs as if he is having fun while dealing with the remnants of the past who were called gods.
There has never been a more fun moment in the life of a demon king who has lived a long life.
Perhaps even if he becomes a god, he will never experience a moment like this again.
That’s why humans waited for them to grow, and the gods waited for them to attack too.
Aiming at the arrogance of such a demon king, a huge spear of light flew in.
cooong!
-Did you drink?
The one-eyed old man finally appeared with a huge binge.
A being who was once revered as a god and is called a demon who gave birth to demons.
Odin appeared.
Behind them are the heroes of mankind.
In front, the gods are aiming for them.
Nevertheless, the Demon King laughed.
– Whoa! okay! This is it! This is it!
Even in a situation where his life was in danger, the demon king, who felt joy, began to squeeze all his strength for the final battle.
