Chapter 991 – 991. The Birth of Evil (1)
As the magic power that made up Brunak’s spear was released, an enormous explosion occurred in the surroundings.
Of course, she didn’t cause any harm to Illyana, who was protecting her entire body with the Aegis.
The dimension of the dream prison, unable to withstand her threatening magic power, gradually became distorted and cracked.
In a part of the landscape visible through the distorted cracks, Illyana spotted a familiar face.
She then calmly put her body into the crack.
As if nothing had happened, Illyana bounced between dimensions and returned to the dimension she originally lived in.
“Thank you for your hard work. Lady.”
Right next to her distorted dimensional rift, her Lily, who was waiting for her Illyana to come out, bowed her head and welcomed her.
Illyana took Lily’s greeting for granted.
“How much time has passed since I entered that dimension?”
“About a minute has passed.”
“I see.”
Illyana nodded her head slightly.
She was as she expected.
The flow of time between dimensions was controlled.
To be precise, there is no temporal interference or influence on each other’s dimensions.
Literally, even if an hour had passed in this dimension, less than a second could have passed in another dimension, and the opposite situation could naturally have occurred.
As a sorceress she could not help but be intrigued by her awareness of the presence of Providence outside her realm of observation.
If possible, she wanted to conduct research like this.
“Unfortunately, it won’t be easy right now. “Lily.”
“Yes. Lady.”
“Would you like to go with me?”
Illyana asked as she glanced at the battlefield where a fierce battle was taking place.
Lily was not a wizard or warrior who learned how to fight.
The only power she can use is the power of a dream demon, which she resents for making her not human.
Illyana had no intention of assigning her a role or ordering her to fight.
Lily has already done her part.
She temporarily created another dimension where she and the Black Witch could fight with all their might, and forcibly put the Black Witch into it, helping her prevent a great catastrophe that could, at some point, lead to the destruction of this underworld. It was also a big contribution to making it happen.
However, there was only one reason why she took Lily, who had no combat skills, at all.
“Want to go. “I want to watch my master even from afar.”
Because Eunhyeon is fighting over there.
Not only that, but she also wanted to engrave in her own eyes the images of Eleanor and Erin struggling to help Eunhyun.
You could say it was a useless task, but it was the only thing Lily could do, and she wanted to do it anyway.
Illyana chuckled and nodded her head.
“Don’t be too nervous. “I will protect you no matter what happens.”
No attack from any demon or magical beast can pierce the transcendental magic Aegis created through Eunhyeon.
Lily, too, was now not only her Eunhyun, but also a precious part of herself within her own enclosure.
“Thank you.”
At the same time as Lily bowed her head and thanked her for being considerate, a magic circle surrounded Illyana and Lily’s bodies.
“Let’s go. To Hyeon.”
“Yes. Lady.”

“Erin. And Gerard. “Help the retreat of the Holy Kingdom troops who have not yet retreated.”
“Okay!”
“All right.”
“And…”
Eunhyeon glanced at the nine-tailed fox and asked.
“Can I ask you to keep me in check?”
“Joy.”
The nine-tailed fox snorted softly.
Although he did not give a positive answer out loud, it also meant that he would not refuse his instructions, so it was actually closer to consent.
But it’s not a finish or an overwhelming attack, it’s just a ‘check’.
Although he couldn’t understand, the nine-tailed fox believed that there was something he was after and accepted Eunhyeon’s story.
“Alice and Derkin are in charge of long-distance control along with Gumiho.”
“All right.”
“Leave it to me!”
The two elementalist couple also responded energetically.
Erin and Gerard were the first to take action.
[I’m dying!]
The Black Finger Tree began its attack, scattering a large amount of murderous intent.
A large number of thorn awls were shot straight out from the tree, rushing in all directions at once.
“Ugh!”
Erin, who was running quickly towards the people who had not yet retreated, frowned.
The sight of a tree made up of tens of thousands of black fingers with mouths was so terrifying.
A thorn awl was flying quickly towards me, and the mouth at the end of it was wide open, pointing towards me.
There were three things that Erin couldn’t accept physiologically and that she absolutely hated.
The first is bugs.
The second is having a lot of legs and hands.
The third is things like earthworms wriggling.
In Erin’s standards, that black-fingered tree was one of two things: a terrible being that one would never want to deal with.
“Kyaaah! “Don’t come!”
Even as Erin showed her tears, she turned her head to avoid the spike.
She had not yet retreated, and as soon as she reached the front of the Holy Kingdom soldier, she turned towards him and showed her back.
“Get on my back! “Hurry!”
“Okay, thank you…” ! Ugh!?”
Without hesitation, she quickly secured the soldier on her back and Erin ran again.
This is because the trunks of the Black Finger Tree attacked Erin with their ferocious thorn awl teeth.
“Go away!”
[Giggle!]
[It looks delicious!]
The mouths on the tip of the awl giggled in unison, looking at Erin and tasting her.
And at the same time, tree branches grow in all directions, threatening people with rattling teeth.
What is very threatening is the range and lethality of the attack.
In just one moment, she can attack dozens of soldiers, and the moment she penetrates, she possesses terrifying killing power that can rip through a person’s flesh and crush even their bones.
[Elvin Unique Spiritual Art]
[Shadow Fortress]
She couldn’t break through Elvin’s shadow, which boasted powerful defense power.
The thorn awl’s penetrating power was extremely threatening, but only when limited to ordinary people.
There is no way that thing could penetrate the shadow’s defense power, which had a record of blocking even Illyana’s high-order magic.
Kaaaaang!
The thorn awl that almost pierced Erin by a narrow margin was blocked by Elvin’s shadow.
“Brother! “I want you to do something like that right away!”
Elvin frowned at Erin’s scolding as she was running away with a Holy Kingdom soldier on her back.
“Even though I helped him, he still pouted. “I don’t know why he likes that ugly thing.”
“Joy! Director Nam!”
As Erin countered her grunts, she quickly moved out of the spike’s range.
The black thorn tree, which had vainly lost its prey again, scattered a vast amount of thoughts again.
[Ah?]
[Also?]
Wherever there was a shadow on the floor, Elvin’s shadow erected a strong castle-like barrier, blocking all the thorns of the Black Finger Tree.
In addition to her defensive power, it covers her vast attack range.
[Shit.]
[Shit. Shit.]
[Shit! Shit! Shit!]
[What! What the heck is that!]
All of Awl’s attacks were blocked.
There was no sense of it attacking and digging into human flesh.
Dozens of awls, just like anywhere else.
What I felt from the teeth at the end of the awl was the sensation of gnawing on an iron wall, like a solid iron fortress.
Perhaps because he didn’t like it so much, the black finger tree became irritated.
It’s like the frustration of a child who complains because things don’t go as planned.
“What a strange creature.”
A murmur filled with doubt.
However, even as he expressed his doubts, Riod calmly swung his sword.
I cut off the branch stem with my straight fingers.
The branch cut by Riod’s slash fell to the ground in vain.
It was just as Eunhyun expected.
These had a vast attack range and killing power, but the defense power of each branch, which was the means of attack, was not that high.
“Master.”
“Hmm.”
Siete answered briefly and stood next to Eunhyeon.
She had already pulled out her mistletoe and held it in her hand, harnessing her magical energy to strengthen her own body and wait.
A tremendous surge of courage rushed from Siete, who held her position, so that she could rush out at any moment and exclude her enemies if she was given instructions.
“I will open the way.”
“Okay.”
Seeing her finishing her preparations, Eunhyeon glanced at her Riot.
“Liod.”
“… Okay.”
I could understand what was being said without needing to explain in detail.
Even after seeing Eunhyeon and Siete standing side by side in front of them, already in a fighting stance, if they couldn’t feel anything, it was no different from a shame as a swordsman.
Riod trembled for a moment.
Eun-hyeon, whom he has not seen in a long time, has surpassed the capabilities of the prosecutor he knew.
She couldn’t help but shudder as she measured the area.
She was already considered to have the best capabilities as a prosecutor, but even so, these two are on a different level.
As a swordsman, he knew right away that he couldn’t walk side by side with him in swordsmanship, but while he had vaguely thought he would be able to catch up someday, now was the moment he realized that was impossible.
Shinseon (神仙).
Or did you say Geomseon (劍仙)?
A state of enlightenment that cannot be reached simply through the perfection of sword techniques.
This was the moment when Riod confirmed part of the area.
“Follow me carefully.”
“Let’s try.”
He couldn’t say with confidence that he would follow.
That’s how much the gap between these two men and women and themselves is on a different level, as the two men and women are looking at the end of their careers beyond their status as prosecutors.
There was one thing that everyone in this world misunderstood.
It was an established fact that the strongest swordsman in the world was a man named Riod Olivion.
Many people and bards praised and talked about his honorable achievements, saying that he was the strongest swordsman who ended the terrible war 20 years ago and established a legend of undefeated defeat by anyone.
In fact, Liod did not accept the honor and fame at all warmly.
‘The best? ‘That’s not even funny.’
The true best is when there are not one but two beings in front of you who have reached the pinnacle of the sword.
How can he surpass these two and be praised as the best?
Liod was always unhappy with the titles and achievements that were spread around the world.
So even after the war ended, he continued to try.
He sharpened his sword and sharpened it again so that he could become a man worthy of the honor and accomplishments, for which the evaluations given to him, not arbitrarily but by others, were extremely undeserved.
His goal, then and now, was Eunhyeon, who was always before his eyes and led him and his colleagues.
He realized that there was a gap that he could never keep up with.
But even so, if you give up after seeing these two’s backs, if you become frustrated.
What on earth is the sword he has been sharpening until now?
“I will never follow you.”
Even if I couldn’t make up the difference, I had to keep up.
I couldn’t just stop.
Here, you are the only one standing still with no change and even growth stagnating.
If you can’t feel anything even when you look at those two people’s backs.
It was nothing short of shame for a prosecutor.
“Goes.”
The world’s evaluation is wrong.
Liod was not always a man who led others to the forefront of the battlefield.
He was a man who always chased after the man he was targeting.
Like right now.
The swords of Eunhyeon and Siete, who started running ahead, cut into the sky.
