Chapter 319 – 75. Sky Ray. (7)
Just by looking at them, a jaw-dropping number of monsters rained down from the sky.
Duke Bellver, who was taking his seat with the Knights and the garrison in the empty space of the castle, said, “It’s finally here,” And fired up his fighting spirit.
Cold-blooded Asmos, who had never directly killed a human or monster since winning the dukedom himself at the young age of twenty-seven, recalled the time when he was active as a mercenary leader belonging to the duchy in his youth.
Asmos, who had a reputation in the East, was a thorn in his eyes, and his older brothers, fearing that this guy would threaten their position later, tried to kill him. Went up And his old father, the duke, collapsed from the shock and lived in a hospital bed for several months before finally dying, and Asmos, the heir, inherited the duchy.
Since then, he has lost his smile and earned the nickname “Cold-blooded.”
That is the secret story of the birth of the cold-blooded Asmos.
… Of course, it’s been more than 20 years, so now it’s just a memory in a corner of my memory…
The corners of Belver’s mouth twitched strangely at the feeling of tension stroking his palms for the first time in a long time.
His desire to explore and conquer was as strong as his ambition. That’s why he was attracted to mercenaries wandering around the continent, and jumped into the mercenary group belonging to the Duke’s family.
“Protect His Highness the Duke…”
Before the knight commander’s shout was over, Duke Belver raised his hand.
“No, it is. Never mind me.”
“However… !”
“I myself can protect at least one part of my body. So, use all your strength to kill those evil monsters.”
The Duke of Belver was also a person who was very meticulous in his management, so he still maintained the robust body of his youth.
The Duke’s mind, which was waking up early in the morning and training until the sun rose, was actually to prepare for a war that might cause later… , Which eventually came to be solved in this way.
Although he hadn’t personally harmed a life in a long time, he had no hesitation in swinging his sword.
It is a mindset that I have honed and polished for 20 years every morning without missing a day.
The two forces soon collided.
Thousands of monsters didn’t all come to the resistance… , But even so, each and every one of them was big and powerful. It would take one or two skilled mercenaries to deal with this guy.
Humans and monsters intertwined in the city at the same time.
Of course, the one who has the upper hand is the fully prepared human side. … However, it is impossible to guarantee when this momentum will reverse. To be honest, after being hit by two shots of Mana Beam, their confidence dropped a lot.
– Risk your life to protect it! There is nowhere to retreat anyway!
All men who could hold spears, young and old, fought. To protect the city… , And to protect the family!
However, the Witchbeast is strong and strong, but it can fly to the sky. On top of that, they had already learned how to fight humans to their advantage by raiding the city a few times.
In particular, they used to fly through the sky and drop down on the heads of unwary humans, ripping off their heads in one breath. It is a disadvantage due to lack of vision and lack of experience.
However, humans also had strengths that were not inferior to their opponents.
It is the existence of believers with divine power and wizards who use magic.
That’s why they also focused exclusively on believers and wizards. On the contrary, humans struggled to protect them.
While the city was in chaos due to battles with demon beasts, a fierce battle broke out on the backs of stingrays flying in the air.
As the stingray itself is the nest of the Demon Beast, the Demon Beast was also swarming in huge numbers.
Most of the remaining were young, but the powerful monsters guarding the young fiercely resisted the 10-strong group that invaded the nest.
The 10 rivers have only one mission.
Breaking the wings of a sky ray to make it fall to the ground.
Of course, I also thought about attacking the head directly, but… , It was so difficult to approach there that I gave up right at the selection stage.
Wings aren’t easy either, but if you aim well at the joints, you’ll have a high chance of success.
A lot of vine-like plants grew on the back of the sky ray. It had grown almost to her waist, making it difficult to move forward. The 1st row shield holders moved forward, smashing them with hammers and shields, but the Demon Beast kept interfering and the progress was not very smooth.
Just then, the body shakes with a tremendous gust of wind—-!
It is the aftermath of the periodic flapping of the wings of the sky ray, Purunnak.
The vibration was so severe that even the sword emperor, who would normally not budge, was staggered. … So, it seems that only the vines that were deeply rooted and entangled like this were left standing here.
The progress was so frustrating that in the end the fire-ghost Granzo stepped in. He had to conserve his strength as much as possible because he had to play an important role in breaking the wings, but at this rate, they would all be stretched out before reaching the wings.
“Get out of the way!”
He pierced a long, straight path with powerful fire magic. Of course, the size of the back was so large that it would take a long time to reach the wings. However, if you bring the floating boat close to the wing, it could be caught in a gust of wind and smashed, so this is the best you can do.
“Move quickly!”
The group hurried along the open road dug by Granzo Danzu. Of course, even in the meantime, the magic beasts attacked without rest.
As expected, the one who shows the most dazzling activity is Sword Emperor Natasha. She swung the world check famous sword so fast that she couldn’t see it, cutting the beasts in half. Of course, the blind saints and the top 10 sophomores provided solid back-up support.
And by the time the entire distance was left.
Suddenly, the soles of my feet felt hot, and a powerful shock suddenly exploded.
ㅡㅡ!!
It was the Mana Beam of the Sky Ray that had been suspended for a long time.
The strong repulsive power of the mana beam sent the mercenaries flying in all directions as their bodies vibrated.
“Fuck, hold tight to the vines—!!”
The mercenaries who bounced out and the mercenaries who did not, held onto the vines in front of them and held on.
Manabim’s recoil was so great that I couldn’t stand it unless I held on to something. Even the demons are the same.
… But the problem was next.
As soon as the recoil was over, the magic beasts aimed for the mercenaries who had bounced around and focused their attacks. So, there were two people who were unlucky enough to lose their lives to the magic beasts suddenly attacking from all sides.
“Be careful! Wake up and move!”
After all, they’re on a mission first. Comrades who had already suffered had no choice.
As soon as the recoil was over, they pushed forward through the vines again.
“How much is left!”
“Still, quite a bit left!”
“Damn it, get out of the way!”
Granzo Danju used fire magic again to clear the road. Fortunately, this time, even the wings were pierced in one shot, and all I had to do was run.
Even while the group ran through the vines, the beasts continued to attack. … There really was no end to killing and killing.
Anyway, they managed to get to the wing and dispersed to their respective positions.
The connection between the wings and the body was so huge that it was not at the level where it would be damaged by one or two attacks.
Of course, it is safe to move together, but the key is to reduce the time as much as possible due to the nature of the mission. If you delay too long, the city is in danger.
“Good luck!”
The fire-ghost Granzo Danju shouted that and went the farthest. It’s right that he who is the strongest here is in charge of the furthest end… And the Allen-mercenary corps, led by Sword Emperor Natasha, headed to the other end. The group was torn into many branches.
There were no vines near the wings, so they moved along the vine-bound interface. Fortunately, the wing side was a place that demons were a bit reluctant to, so they couldn’t approach them easily. If you get caught up in a gust of wind and crash into something violently, your body could explode and die.
“Fuck, I’m worried about something… ?”
It’s a place where even witches don’t like it.
The furry Geese felt uneasy, but there was nothing he could do about it. Because it’s their job to make the wings disappear!
Just then, there were signs of another violent flapping of wings.
“Hold tight——!!”
The mercenaries quickly clung to the vines. A nasty stench rose from it, but there was no time to examine it now.
… And, a strong gust of wind coming soon!
ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ!!!!!!!
If he hadn’t endured it with his vines, his real body would have blown away at once.
The moment I was about to let go of the vine, wondering if it was over, the mana beam exploded this time.
ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
One member of the Viola-Mercenary Corps missed the vine and flew away.
– Aaaaa.
He was swept away by the strong wind and fell to the distant floor, leaving only a long scream.
Ah.
Seeing this, the mercenaries were stunned for a moment.
The moment you say sorry, you really fall behind.
After the strong recoil of Manabim, the mercenaries moved quickly. It’s best to finish the mission as soon as possible and get out of here.
After moving a long way, the Allen-Mercenary Corps finally arrived at their location.
The seed of interest, which looked like a mess after being hit and rolled here and there, created a powerful mana bullet and pounded the joints here and there.
The flesh of a sky ray begins to dent in an instant. The crew also hurriedly swung their weapons and dug deeper into the hole.
And at the first sign of flapping its wings, it hurried toward the vine, grabbed it, and withstood the gusts.
Since that happened simultaneously to the right wing, it seems that the stingray and Purunnak felt something strange.
With the momentum to get rid of the bugs attached to its wings, it repeated its violent flapping several times.
“Hold on!”
However, as the strong flapping of the wings was repeated several times, even the vines deeply rooted in the stingray’s back could not stand it and began to tear off.
Eventually, some of the mercenaries flew up into the sky with the vines that stopped being torn off.
And among those who were blown away by the gust of wind, there was a member of the Allen-Mercenary Corps, Carranos the Cutie.
“Yaaaaa!! Karanos euuuuu!!!”
The furry geese saw his comrade fly away and called out to him in awe, but the opponent eventually disappeared far below the ground.
A colleague who lost so much in vain. Geese had a gloomy thought for a moment, but it was soon replaced by anger towards the enemy.
“You bastard!!!”
As soon as the flapping of the wings was over, Gis screamed and slashed the flesh with an axe. The other crew members were also angry.
I lost a precious colleague with whom I lived together for many years in an instant, and of course I am angry.
But they tried not to lose their temper. Because the mission at stake for so many people is not over yet.
Elizabeth, the seed of interest, had her colleagues pour powerful mana bullets into the fan seat again and again. In the meantime, one of the manatans exploded inside his flesh, inflicting considerable pain on Purunnak.
ㅡㅡ!!
And a slightly twisted body.
However, even slightly to him, it wasn’t a slight to the mercenaries riding on it.
Again, two people who could not catch the vines rolled down.
Aaaaah
Comrades disappearing with a long scream.
A few comrades were already shedding hot tears.
“This baal!”
Fortunately, progress is being made on the mission.
Because his flesh wasn’t that hard, every time he wielded his weapon, his flesh was ripped apart. And when Elizabeth’s magic exploded there, it became a very large hole.
… This one is almost done… !
Sword Emperor Natasha, who diligently cut through the flesh and cut off as much joints as possible, confirmed that the quota for this side was almost over. However, the strong tendons connected to her middle did not break even with her tolerable magic. And cutting it off is the sword emperor’s role.
Even if it couldn’t deal damage in a wide area like magic, Geomje, whose attack power was concentrated in one place, was one step higher than that of the person who opened the gate.
ㅡㅡㅡ!!!
It must have been quite a blow for Purunnak to have his tendons cut, and his struggles became worse than before. At the same time, the flapping of wings became more intense. But I could see the flapping of the wings getting harder and harder.
Geese, who was digging through the flesh, couldn’t catch the vine and tried to hold on by driving the ax into his flesh, but the problem was that the flesh wasn’t strong enough to withstand the strong gusts of wind.
Ah.
The ax embedded in the flesh seemed to be pulled out at the moment, and his body flew through the air.
Ah.
The Sword Emperor Natasha saw the raging gas welling up and desperately called out his name.
“Gissuuuuu.”
And the furry that just blows away.
Although they quarreled, Geomje, who had lost a comrade who had been with him for a long time, felt the pain of his heart breaking. … However, it could not collapse here.
“… Calm down everyone! Not much left! Concentrate till the end… !”
As soon as she finished flapping her wings, Natasha frantically swung her sword.
Please.
Please!
Jebaal!
“Natasha! It’s over! Come back!”
Natasha raised her head at the cry of the blind saint.
Wings flapped almost simultaneously, and she threw herself at Oddnun with all her might.
Fortunately, the two men’s arms touched. The blind saintess endured the pain as if her arms were about to be ripped off and did not let go of her arms.
And the blast that ends.
Natasha gasped a few times before jumping up and looking around. … Unfortunately, they lost a few members, but they accomplished their mission.
“Where else?”
“I think the other places are also over.”
Elizabeth replied with a look of exhaustion on her face. It’s hard to count how many magic bullets she poured into the hole.
“Return!”
Around the time the Allen-Mercenary Corps completed their mission, the Granzo-Mercenary Corps also almost finished their mission.
The fire ghost Grenzo prepared to cast his last powerful fire magic.
… Roseanne… !
The fire ghost was swept away by a gust of wind earlier, and she concentrated her mana thinking about her daughter who had just fallen outside.
The fearful stare of his daughter whom he happened to meet was still stuck in his mind.
Kill it somehow
The evil spirits strongly raised mana.
“Everyone come back!”
“How about the sweet lord?”
“… I remain I must remain.”
“It’s not possible!”
“It’s an order! Go!”
Bu Dan-ju tried to dissuade him again, but eventually backed off after seeing the terrifying eyes of the fire ghost.
“Dan-lord, please, please… !”
“Don’t worry. I do not intend to die easily.”
Granzo Danju laughed crookedly.
… It was a lie.
The mind to live has already been folded.
She sent her poor daughter like that, but what a terrible parent she would be if her father died alive!
And if you cut off her wings, this demon also crashes right away, but how does it get on the floating ship? … One must remain.
He let out a long breath as he watched the group return to the float.
… Raiga, this is what you felt.
The monster Raiga, risking his last life, ran relentlessly toward the cold.
To be honest, Grenzo wondered if he could do that too, but when he saw it in front of him again, it was surprising that he didn’t feel anything.
Because I think this is normal.
Farewell, Allen Danju. Please take care of my wife and children too.
Even Roseanne hadn’t thought of asking nicely. Because she has already fallen from the Witchbeast.
After enough time passed, Grenzo burned himself again.
And I’m ready to light the most spectacular fireworks of my life.
Come on.
Mana.
My eternal companion
Now I will give you my all
The fiend Grenzo stretched his arms to the left and right and gathered a huge amount of mana.
The flames that wrapped around his body intensified. It seared the vines and flesh around it.
And Granzo, who fires fire magic at the dented goal.
ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ!!!!
Huge flames intensely penetrated the joint.
… However, the flesh, which was weak against blows, unexpectedly stood firm against the flames.
This is unexpected.
Ah.
Gren Joe once again used powerful fire magic, but he did not see the effect as expected.
If he continued like this, before cutting off his wings, his mana would run out first.
Damn damn damn it!
And the flapping of the wings again.
He quickly extinguished the flames and sprinted to the nearby vines, grabbing hold of them. Grenzo, who barely held on, couldn’t help feeling gloomy.
Now, how… !
Then, I suddenly remembered the pockets dangling from my waist.
It was a thing given to Allen Danju.
– If there is really no way… , Write this. But, as you know, this is another catastrophe. So, please be careful… !
The item he handed over was the sealed infinite cold!
There is no guarantee what kind of disaster will come if the cold air is unsealed again… , Now there really was no other way than this.
The joints of the wings are frozen solid… !
Grenzo pulled a sealed chest of cold air from his pocket. The coldness that his hands would freeze just by holding it. … He still had vivid memories of the horrors he experienced in the North.
… Can not help it…
If they lose it, it may become a big disaster again and attack them, but for now, the priority is to prevent the demon in front of them. Or else it’s all going to die.
So, when the flapping of the wings was over, Grenzo took the sealed box and went to the center of the joint of the wings. And after he plunged the sealed box into the hole, he memorized powerful fire magic.
“… It was a pretty, good life.”
Momentary impression.
With a light smile, he accepted his soon-to-be fate.
When there were signs that the flapping of his wings was about to start again, he fired fire magic directly into his seal.
And a huge explosion… !
Ah.
The tingling feeling of floating hit his whole body.
Caught in a strong wind, he struggled in the air, then stopped moving.
What are you doing, struggling desperately?
I’d be lying if I said I didn’t have a fear of death, but I still suppressed the fear.
Thinking of my daughter and her colleagues who had gone before—.
… The rest of the kids must have returned well…
Before he knew it, his body fell from the stingray in the sky.
A strong wind beat his body, and he fell down.
Ah.
Suddenly, a terrible, uncontrollable fear swept through his body.
Roseanne must have felt this kind of fear.
I’m sorry, daughter. I wish my father, this father, would give me more love, more love.
I’m sorry guys.
Sorry.
… Every.
My life passed through my mind like a panorama.
With this, the end of the fire demon Granzo will be decorated.
It’s a bit unfortunate that I can’t leave a corpse intact like this, but where can I go with my life!
Hi.
Comrades.
It was a good life.
At that moment,
A sudden shock to the body.
He was frantically tossed and tumbled somewhere.
“I got it————!!!!”
Someone’s tearing cry.
… Uhh… !
Granzo was scattered with countless twigs and piles of leaves.
He was momentarily confused.
I wonder what this is…
Suddenly he realized that he was on the deck of a floating ship.
“Father, hey!”
Roseanne runs to her father whom she respects and loves.
Grenzo, dumbfounded, took his daughter in his arms.
… It’s already the afterlife, but it hasn’t hit the ground yet…
Just then, Allen approached Granzo Danju, who was in disarray.
“Are you okay, sweet lord?!”
“… You… !”
Only then did the fire ghost see that the World Tree was spread out over the floating ship like a buffer.
Ah.
Allen Danju must have saved his comrades who were swept away by a gust of wind and fell down that way.
Realizing that he had lived too late, Grenzo held his daughter tighter in his arms.
“Thank god. I’m so glad. My daughter my beloved daughter Roseanne. I’m glad I’m alive. I’m sorry abby I’m sorry, dear… !”
“Father, father… !”
And the sky ray slowly crashed to the ground.
