Episode 206
55. The Great Revolution That Calls the Storm (4)
Ethan Del Highlander.
He was a person with a unique setting among NPCs in the back alleys, each with a unique personality.
Because he was a former paladin who joined the smuggling guild.
The armor they were wearing was the same as the paladins of the temple of Canaan, and they attack based on divine power.
‘He was a manly character who once owed a favor, he would pay it back until the end.’
Even though it is completely darkened among the back alley faction quests, he appears as an assistant to the smuggler guild leader Kulroot until the end.
If you want to pass, cut me. You cannot serve two lords under the sky.
A boss whose lines make you shiver just by listening to it.
For reference, that line was selected as one of the top 5 lines that touched the hearts of men surveyed on the forum.
That’s how strong the Dell Highlander was.

Moreover, the back alley was a faction that took place around the summer vacation of the second year or the third year.The final boss of that place, Del Highlander, had no choice but to have high stats.
‘Conversation is impossible from the moment we decided to mobilize the demons. I’ll just have to press it with force.’
I drew out my sword and faced Del’s face, breathing heavily.
“You guys… … !! You were the magician who used these demons!”
Dell Highlander’s eyes lit up.
It was ironic that he was angry at the fact that he was dealing with demons in the subject of committing a crime in the smuggling guild, though.
“I swear by my divine power, I will exclude you from this position!”
The silver sword gleamed with divine power. Blessings are added on top of the sword.
If it was a normal demon, it was enough to get a critical hit just by rubbing it.
But unfortunately, I am not a demon. There is no magic flowing through the body.
No matter how strong the divine power the Del Highlander fires, it doesn’t matter to me.
Besides, he seemed to be mistaken for me as the head of the dreamers, so it was easier to deceive.
“Go ahead.”
I smiled and took a stance.
“Come on, get the mace of the gods!!”
Del, who had just passed on the provocation, roared and rushed in. The gaze is directed to the top.
Kang! Kaga-Gak-!
The ferocious sound of the blades being scraped resounded. The yam sword collided with Dell’s sword.
I was able to realize the strength of Dell with just that one sum.
‘heavy… … !’
It was heavy. It was only a one-handed sword, but it was comparable to Byron using a Beowulf.
No, he didn’t know if he could outperform Byron with pure physical strength alone.
I grabbed my trembling wrist and tried to pull out the crossed sword.
It was the time when the day and the day flowed.
【Baeksanwoo, it is on the left side!!】
In an instant, Lioner’s warning raised the guard with the opposite arm.
Kwajik!
It was an attack aimed at a short blind spot.
It’s not even a sword, it’s just a fist swinging… … The impact of Del’s fist pierced through the armor and hit his nerves.
A tingling sensation wraps around your wrist and arm.
‘Wow, crazy. If I got hit in the face, I would have been KO’d.’
It is a shock enough to penetrate a defense structure. If I hadn’t worn armor, my bones would have been crushed.
It was the same with the skull.
I was going to work as light and relaxed as possible, but Dell Highlander’s momentum was much stronger than expected.
I backed away first, and again formed the ranks.
“tiring? May I help you?”
Ronna-senpai asked with a worried voice whether he looked a little bit behind.
“No, it’s okay. Not yet.”
She took on the role of keeping Dell’s men in check, who were sneakily approaching me.
Even with one Dell, they are already rubbing it equally, but no country can guarantee victory if the volume is added to it.
It was with the strong rear support of Lorna-senpai on his back.
“You just have to catch Dell. Then Nabe and Amodea will take care of the rest.”
And, in fact, there was another reason for bringing Lorna Aztel and not actively directing the attack.
Her real role is not to simply check in, but to effectively subdue the enemy forces who have lost their will.
In the end, the reason I turned the back alley faster than planned was because of ‘Mary Celeste’ who was approaching Paradise Island.
I had to find a ship to sortie against Mary Celeste and the corrupted ancient Artel.
However, simply annihilating the smuggling guild’s personnel did not solve all the problems.
It’s OK to secure a ship.
But what if there is no manpower to operate it?
At least, the guild members of the smuggling guild go on voyages at least once, at most, dozens of times.
In the process, they are naturally trained as sailors of the giant sailing ship ‘Paradise Outfit’.
Once we can get the ships out, we’ll have to talk to the deans and professors.
How they stole the ships of the Smugglers Guild, I’m not sure about the rumors.
It was something to think about only after the battle with the corrupt Artel was completely over.
“Just do it now. I will finish it soon.”
I took off the sullen mask. It was to hide his identity, but now there was no need to do so.
Because the personnel in front of you are all witnesses.
The extremely limited field of vision was opened, and the face of the paladin who had been expelled was clearly visible.
He already knew who I was. My name leaked out of my gaping lips.
“Your boy… … Baeksanwoo?”
“How did you know?”
“Damn it, the guild leader was right! I should have removed it earlier!!”
Dell Highlander’s face wrinkled with anger.
Hell, sticking around like that with the intelligence guild isn’t enough, you must have figured out the circumstances of your contact with Madame Karjou.
Even the smuggling guild must have identified me as a person of interest.
But.
‘Yeah, it’s already too late~.’
No matter how good your information is, you can’t be better than an old-timer like me.
From the moment I decide to smash the back alley, they can never change their fate.
Even now, the timing has been moved forward a bit, but the organization that would have been torn to pieces within a few months anyway.
“What… … It doesn’t matter if you know From now on, I will go to power.”
I took a stance with my feet wide apart.
Curl-Rung- Bang!
At the same time as the blue lightning struck the ground, he quickly leaped forward and swung his sword.
“ね!?!”
Just before the sword wrapped in lightning touched his neck, Dell’s fist pierced in just the right time.
Chow, red blood spurted out of the narrowly passing day.
A momentary gap of less than a second.
By striking the side with a counter without missing the gap, I disturbed my posture and forcibly changed the trajectory of the sword.
‘Crazy.’
I wasn’t in a hurry.
He was a skilled swordsman who had properly trained in swordsmanship, and was a ‘master of skill’ with abundant combat experience.
Even when my side hurts, I did not stop the combo attack.
Kang! Kaga River!
Only the loud sound of metal crashing revolved around the eardrum.
The sword strike swept away leaving a blue afterimage was swallowed up by the pure white light and bounced off.
It was definitely overwhelming at first.
However, the more swords were exchanged, the faster Dell moved by half a beat.
Swordsmanship is tempo and flow.
It was a battle in which the key was who moved first and how to get an undefeatable blow.
It was not enough to read his movements gradually, and it was never a good sign that he was starting to be overtaken.
“Honestly, I’m surprised. At this level, he is at the level of a talented person who stands out among the Paladins.”
At first, words flowed out of Del’s mouth, who was desperate to stop the attack.
That’s how relaxed it was.
“Why are you doing this? Whilst chasing a dream… … !”
“It’s all for the good! You guys were social evils from the beginning!!”
“If it’s a social evil, is it okay to slaughter like this? All we have to do is move things secretly!!”
It was a definite sophistry.
The biggest reason Aidan Christopher turned the back alley in the main story was because he directly confirmed the evil deeds of the smuggling guild in collusion with the hunting guild.
The smuggling guild was not just an organization that only smuggled goods.
They set off with the goal of smuggling from all over the continent to Paradise Island, gathering people and leaving.
sold as slaves.
These cubs were even committing human trafficking.
Also, in the episode ‘Assault on Artel’, the main event of Chapters 4 and 5, he took advantage of the confusion to kidnap some Artels and even tried to sell them to the slave market.
What the hell is the benefit of the smuggling guild that the students of Paradise Island get?
White Sea was useless.
“As a paladin, it looks like you only want to see what you can see? Look straight ahead!!”
I backed away and distanced myself from him. It was decided that pure swordsmanship alone could not widen the gap.
After all, there is only one way.
It was just a bamboo shoot.
I took out the Aradwa I was carrying on my back. Fragile! Lightning wrapped around the black spear like a whirlpool.
However, Dell Highlander did not stand still.
Close your eyes and mumble something. Then, a bright light erupted from the blade of the sword he was holding with both hands.
‘Light Judgment… … !’
It is Dell’s main aircraft and unique combat technique used by the Paladins of Canaan.
Its power is also outstanding, and it is impossible to properly block or avoid it.
‘It bothers me.’
An expelled paladin who freely uses divine power.
I thought it was a very attractive setting from a game point of view, but it can be so annoying when you actually meet your opponent.
“Disappear in the light and disappear!!”
Dell opened his eyes and fired a slash. A pure white brilliance pouring over the entire space.
With my current skills, blocking and avoiding were not enough.
then.
“Rona-senpai!!”
It will have to be offset with a greater force.
As soon as his name was called, several layers of magic circles unfolded before his eyes.
Eight layers of defense magic carefully crafted with a high-level technique.
No matter how much he prayed for the power of the God of Light, the overwhelming power gap could not be easily overcome.
I gave Lorna a thumbs up, and she looked at me pathetic.
It was as if I knew this was going to happen.
Bump, jump!
Of course, it was an attack that the opponent did with all his might, so several layers of defense magic were shattered.
just that much.
As the light that had spread throughout the world faded away, I saw the expression on Del Highlander’s face, completely engulfed in astonishment.
I threw Aradwa away.
Kurreung-!!! Kwagwagwang!!!!!
The sound of thunder shaking the underground walls. The thunder spear that ripped through the air pierced Dell’s chest as it was.
The holy magic that was always deployed, and the well-crafted knight’s holy grail.
And his beliefs, which had been cast over him, were powerless in the face of Lioner’s thunder.
“Heh heh heh… … !!”
poop.
The blood of the paladin was splattered on the silver armor.
Del Highlander, who collapsed on her knees, looked at me and opened her mouth.
“Baeksan… … Ooh, you are! Cuckoo!! It is a disaster and the evil of mankind… … .”
“It will be for you.”
I approached Del’s words head-on.
Let’s take out Aradwa, who has penetrated through the entire armor, Pu-wak! And in an instant, blood spurts out.
“Now, don’t be bound by a guild like this and rest in peace.”
It was only three hours after the full-scale operation began.
Finally, heretic del Highlander, the smuggling guild completely collapsed.
