Chapter 235 – The Great Tower (1)
*
Kerry lit up red in the dark room. A room where the ancients hid themselves so that they would not be affected by tracking magic.
I can’t help but wonder what might be there.
The soft light of light magic clears the darkness.
At that moment, the murals painted on all sides caught my eye.
“This…”
It is a different mural from before.
I felt motivated by the magnificent murals while boasting colorful colors.
Elpis said while examining the mural slowly.
[The identity of Elena is recorded here. It seems that the ancients left records for posterity.]
“…”
Kerry, who had just seen the mural, had yet to guess what it was about.
But Elpis seems to know everything about the incident.
“Elpis. What do these murals mean?”
Inside the mural was a black witch and her army.
You can see the ancient city being destroyed by that army.
If it is different from the past, this mural has highlighted a ‘one being’ that had not been seen before.
[This is exactly what I said.
This is Elena’s true identity… Kerry-sama. You are not actually Elena’s champion.
To be precise, he is a warrior, but he must be considered to have other roles as well.]
“…Could you elaborate a bit more?”
At Elpis’ words that followed, Kerry was a little taken aback.
*
“Hold on! Hold on!”
[…
“I was so distracted, I was just listening, but now is not the time for this.”
[It was! Let’s go fast. Kerry!]
Kerry runs to the secret weapon that will save her group her.
Even as she ran, Elpis’ words ran through her head.
‘Am I not Elena’s hero?’
Let’s ignore
What does it matter whether you are a warrior or not?
What did Elena’s true identity matter anyway?
Here, you have to help Lina and the others.
I even received her holy sword her from Lina.
If Kerry didn’t do it right, she was certain the end of the party would come.
Kerry arrives at the room with the secret weapon.
I see a tower standing alone in a wide cavity. The majestic tower was shining softly alone.
Its name is the Holy Tower.
It is a weapon of war that will turn the tide of battle at once.
[Wow! I’ve heard stories, but I never thought they’d really fix this. Great!]
“Yes. They said it was quite difficult.”
[Sure. Even in ancient times, this was used as a top-notch weapon of war…]
Kerry approached the sacred tower.
There was a hole suitable for the holy sword to enter.
‘Even for the sake of the people who believed in me… I must not make any mistakes.’
Kerry raised her divine power while concentrating.
The divine power that has been steadily built up over the years bursts out of Kerry’s body in her.
A golden light shimmered and a golden pillar appeared next to the tower.
It was Kerry’s divine power in her.
[Immense divine power… How the hell did you get this much divine power? Kerry.]
It’s not just Kerry’s strength.
It was a power that he obtained from the saintess and inherited Lina’s divine power.
In addition, there is now a holy sword.
If you use the amplification function on the sacred power of the holy sword itself, you will be able to produce absurd power.
I am worried about whether the giant tower will be able to withstand it.
“Elpis-nim. Are you ready?”
[Sleep, wait… I’ll take a deep breath… Whoa… Ha… Whoa… Ha…]
“…There is no time. Elpis-sama.”
Even in the midst of this, he did not know what kind of crisis Lina and his party were facing.
Kerry grabbed the handle of the holy sword at her side of her.
At the same time, she let out an Elpis moan.
[Haha! Ke, Kerini! It’s not ready yet, but you can’t squeeze it tight Oh!]
“…”
If you’re going to do this anyway, why did you take a deep breath?
Kerry closed her eyes and concentrated. I ignored Elpis who was screaming beside her.
Raise her her divine power her.
Her raised holy power Her was pushed back with her holy sword Her.
[Hagii! Something big and hot is coming deep into me. Nope! Haha!]
“…”
Let’s ignore You have to ignore it.
It is felt as soon as she continues to push her divine power into the holy sword.
It means that the divine power is amplified and growing.
It was the function of the holy sword. The holy sword bursts with golden light as if it explodes divine power.
Kerry’s body feels like it’s going to explode because of the divine power that overflows.
Kerry looked up at her sacred tower, bathed in golden light.
In the middle of the tower, you can see the device that the witch and her brother made her for a night out.
A hole made to fit the holy sword.
If you insert a holy sword into this hole, the holy tower will start functioning.
Kerry channeled her holy power into the tip of her holy sword.
She poured everything she had accumulated so far into one place.
[Ahh! Nope! There’s no more room to come in!Haha!]
“…”
[The inside is full! Haaaaang!]
Please. She wants me to tell you it’s the normal limit.
Anyway, it seems that the Holy Sword is definitely at its limit. Suffice. I see a holy sword blazing with divine power.
If you’re looking at it, this is enough. I felt such confidence.
“Then I will put it in! Elpis!”
[Haaaaang!]
No. Wait, this conversation is kind of weird. Oops I do not know.
Kerry thrust the holy sword, burning golden light, into her tower her.
At that moment, the sacred tower shot up a golden pillar high.
*
Lina staggers and sticks her elemental sword into her floor her.
Sweat dripped down her fine jawline her. She is exhausted Her opponents were too strong.
It was difficult to handle even one martyr with divine power, and even Asmodeus appeared.
Natasha and Victoria have already collapsed. I want to say that I endured well, but the situation was not easy.
Rina repeated her eyes blurring as if her mind was about to blow, but she gritted her teeth and endured it.
She can’t fall like this.
The situation in front of her seemed to overlap with her previous life where she lost her comrades. Even if she wanted to collapse, she couldn’t.
The soldiers were struggling against the zealots who entered through the gates.
The situation was not good.
Asmodeus approached Lina and said.
“Hero. Tell me where the adventurer is.”
“…”
“She’s going to keep her mouth shut forever.”
Then Lina opens her mouth.
“Don’t you understand even after seeing Natasha-sama and Victoria-sama?
Even if this body is crumbling, I will not betray Kerry-sama.
It will be the same no matter who you visit in our party.”
“…That’s foolish.”
Asmodeus quickly approached and kicked Lina.
Lina rolled on her floor after her foot her hit her stomach.
“Keuchup!”
Shit rises from her mouth her. It was such an intense kick.
Lina’s body was already intact.
Her armor her is shattered and full of cracks.
Her leg was broken and she couldn’t stand on the ground properly.
Even her arms were weak enough to barely hold the spirit sword, and she was trembling.
“I’ll ask you again, hero.
Tell me where adventurer Kerry is. Just saying that makes it easier.
Haven’t you already done enough?”
“…You can’t hear me.”
Lina dismissed it with one word.
She raised the spirit sword and wielded it, but the sword was weak and lackluster.
This time, Lina fell out, hit by her fist in her abdomen her.
Sick. It hurt so much that I was rolling on the floor.
But it was nothing compared to the pain in her previous life of losing her comrades.
“Are you still not going to tell me?
As a final courtesy to the hero, I wanted to kill him without doing anything rough.”
“…I can never say that.”
“Even if I die right here?”
“Yes… Even if I die.”
“…”
If you divide Kerry’s whereabouts, Kerry’s plans may be disrupted.
If Kerry fails, everyone in her party may die.
In that case, it would be better for her to die alone.
This was Lina’s honest feelings about her, but it wasn’t necessarily the only reason she gritted her teeth and held on.
Lina believed.
That Kerry will act as she promised.
She believed that she would save everyone by reversing the situation, as always, she had no doubts.
Lina’s body was all over her body, but her eyes were shining with her unwavering faith in Kerry.
Asmodeus muttered incomprehensibly.
“…Why do you go that far?”
“…”
“What’s the value of that adventurer? Why is there an existence equal to a hero…”
“Asmodeus…A monster like you who has lived for hundreds of years only looking at yourself will never understand.”
“No matter how much you want to keep your beliefs, what’s the point if you die?”
Asmodeus could not understand.
Gold, silver, love, whatever. Aren’t things meaningless without life?
“I told you, but you’ll never understand. Trust in your comrades…And the goodwill that humans possess.”
“Certainly things I don’t understand. All things I loathe.”
“…”
“Hero. You always have been like that.
You lived and sacrificed only for the people of the kingdom.
The kingdom praised and loved you for your shining appearance.”
“…”
“…Honestly, your sublime appearance was beautiful even to me.
That dazzling look.
A great personality that can be seen through the atmosphere. You were no hypocrite.”
“…”
Asmodeus licks his lips. He said in a voice seething with greed.
“That’s why I want it. I covet it. It’s a waste to kill it.”
“…”
“I thought I would kill you after hearing the whereabouts of that adventurer, but I changed my mind, warrior.”
“What the hell do you want to say?”
At that time, an absurd sound came out of Asmodeus’ mouth.
“Be mine. Champion.”
“Do not be ridiculous! Who like you…”
“I have whatever I want. Your opinion is not important.”
Asmodeus approaches Lina step by step.
It’s a different atmosphere than before.
“I will keep it by my side and watch when that heart breaks.”
Lina’s eyes tremble without mercy. She already had a body that made it difficult to even hold a sword properly.
‘Is it still? Kerry!’
There is no mate to split.
As long as she had divine power, she would not be defeated by a man of this level.
He was confident that he would repay the humiliation he had received so far tenfold.
The power that really matters is no longer there.
I have no regrets because it was the power I threw away to save the person I love the most.
The black hand of Asmodeus is extended to Lina.
Lina closed her eyes tightly. She couldn’t afford to move any more.
It was then.
A ray of intense golden light descended from the sky.
As if to protect Lina, the golden light covered her body her.
It is a familiar warm and cozy light.
“This…!”
Asmodeus was shocked.
The body of the hero, who had lost his strength and even the holy sword, and was no different from an empty can, began to be filled with divine power.
As far as Asmodeus knew, there was only one weapon capable of this.
“Inooum! Kerry! How can I get my tower!”
The sacred tower was a weapon forged for Asmodeus in ancient times.
However, due to Asmodeus’ personality his, there was no way he could use a weapon that passed on his divine power his to others.
I thought it was useless, so I neglected it, but I can’t believe it’s being used like this.
Lina’s wound her heals in an instant.
New flesh rises over the torn wound. Broken bones join together.
Lina smiled faintly.
‘It’s warm…In the light…Kerry…I can feel it!’
It’s not just Lina.
The intense golden light was also falling down on Natasha and Victoria.
The fallen bodies of Natasha and Victoria rise into the air.
Like Lina, their bodies healed moment by moment.
Three women shimmering with intense golden light stood in front of Asmodeus.
Lina said, raising her elemental sword.
“It is over. Asmodeus.”
