Chapter 227 – 227. Death Knight (2)
[Oh!]
The urgent cry of the goddess.
“Keugh!?”
Responding to the voice that directly resonates and awakens the soul, Eun-hyeon’s body, which had stopped thinking, reacted.
With her left hand, she gripped the blade of the Death Knight’s sword that had been pierced through her left forearm, sealing her sword from being pulled out.
The more she applied strength to her left arm, the stronger the blood spurted from the wound the sword had penetrated.
Knock up
The more I gave it, the stronger the pain got, so I gritted my teeth and forced myself to endure it.
He immediately pulled out the sword that pierced his arm and tried to increase the distance, but he didn’t even mind cutting his own hand and arm, and by Eun-hyeon’s hand that he was holding tightly, the Death Knight couldn’t pull out the sword.
“You… Why did you appear in front of me in that form… I do not know.”
“…”
While saying she didn’t know, she gnashed her teeth, and in fact, I could only vaguely guess Eun-hyeon’s face stained with anger.
If you want to think about why Siete became a Death Knight, why she appeared in front of Eun-hyeon at this moment, it is easy to infer.
“Media…”
Pudeuk
With hateful feelings, he called the name of the transcendental person who subordinated the soul of a precious person and teacher and made him spend a hellish time even after death.
Eun-hyeon does not know that Mediah, who is watching this fight in the demon realm by synchronizing the Death Knight’s senses, sees Eun-hyeon’s expression now and is making an ecstatic expression.
‘Let’s stop thinking about how I was able to get her soul.’
Siete, who lived a life before the earth was destroyed.
Mediah, who lived on the continent of Arcena after the destruction of the earth.
The time period itself that existed must be wrong, but the question arose of how she was able to get Siete’s soul into her hands and subordinate it to her, but Eun-hyeon forcibly put this question deep in her head and I stopped thinking.
“I… I will save you.”
Eun-hyeon’s head is about to explode just by saving Siete’s soul, who can’t rest peacefully even after death.
If she had died once and before she was resurrected, if she was Eunhyeon from the past who was under the restrictions of the goddess, her mentality would be broken just by facing Shite at this moment, and she might have met her death as it was.
[Hey…]
‘Are you okay. Goddess.’
The reason Eunhyun was able to barely hold on to her mentality and move for Siete’s salvation was because of Belldandy’s cry and Iliana’s and Eleanor’s faces that came to mind.
The spirit that almost collapsed after recalling the wounds and traumas of the past became stronger by the new hope and greed that settled in the heart.
This is the moment when the fruits of Verdandy, Illyana, and Eleanor’s efforts shined through.
Eun-hyeon, who faced Siete, who had become a death knight at a very close distance with her sword sealed, boldly threw away the sword she was holding in her other hand.
In the super-close distance she fought at a short distance, she had boldly given up using a sword that was longer than that distance.
She drew her sword and did not allow Te to act to increase her distance, but she dug further in, placing her hand on her left side and condensing her mana.
[Juhyeonseong Polar Plain]
[Hwajeopbalgyeong (胡蝶發勁)]
Kaaang!
Her condensed mana exploded, creating a violent clash with her metal, and Siete’s armor shook violently.
It is normal for an ordinary human being to have his internal organs shaken and suffer serious internal injuries while being directly hit by the explosive power of this condensed magical power, but a death knight whose body does not exist and the energy of death is concentrated into a lump is such a blow from internal wounds. Do not wear
However, it is also true that a direct attack of magical power is an effective means to deliver a direct blow.
In fact, the moment when Eun-hyeon confirmed by the feel of his hand that the side of the armor had been dented inward, and prepared for the second strike by clenching his fists,
[Oh! Arms!]
“Keugh!?”
Eun-hyeon, who had been forcibly holding back the pain while concentrating on attacking Siete, realized belatedly the state of her forearm that had been pierced by the sword at the cry of the goddess.
His left arm was as thin as a dry twig from not being sucked out of life, and his skin was turning black and rotting away.
Realizing that it was a curse manifested from Siete’s sword and sucking his life force, Eunhyeon summoned his dagger and quickly severed his own arm without hesitation.
Aiming for freedom, Eun-hyeon jumped backwards and widened the distance with Siete.
Quickly check your body condition.
‘Fortunately… I stopped the erosion of the curse.’
It was the right choice to cut off the arm without hesitation before the curse spread throughout the body starting from the pierced arm.
[Eunhyeon’s Unique Ability]
[Time Reversal]
Even Eun-hyeon didn’t know if the curse itself could be reversed by going back in time if the curse had spread throughout her body.
Since he had never tried it in the first place, and it was unknown how the curse would work, Eunhyeon chose to amputate his arm without hesitation and restore it to its original state through power.
“… Tsk.”
It was obviously Eun-hyeon’s mistake.
The sword that Siete possesses has been spewing unusual morale ever since it was summoned to the underworld.
It was Eun-hyeon’s mistake to neglect it and take the risk.
He was still agitated by the fact that the identity of the death knight who appeared in front of him was none other than his teacher, Sietera, and was unable to properly judge his thoughts.
[Hey… Are you really okay?]
After reading the inner psychology of Eun-hyeon, whose soul was toyed with by Mediah even after his death and facing the teacher who appeared in front of her with a miserable face, Belldandi put on a worried expression.
“Are you okay.”
[But…]
“It’s what I have to do.”
Because it collapsed once, Eun-hyeon, who had a stronger heart, did not give up on that decision.
After summoning two swords again, Eunhyeon also aimed her sword at Siete, who was aiming the sword at him.
“I must save them.”
Even Eun-hyeon doesn’t know why the situation has turned this way.
Her own feelings and heart are too complex to understand his cause and process.
But he knows exactly what he needs to do at this moment.
For the peaceful rest and salvation of the master, the disciple swung his sword at the death knight.
◆ ◆ ◆
“Okay… For him now…”
Seeing Illyana and Eleanor, who suddenly appeared through the teleport, made a surprised expression, but Derkin heard the explanation of the situation from Eunhyun’s wives and hardened his expression.
“You can’t kill the Dark Elves anymore. If you kill it, the Dark Elf’s ghost will be absorbed into the Death Knight Hyun-yi is dealing with, making it even stronger.”
“All right.”
Derkin nodded at Illyana’s persuasion and immediately gave an order to the Elven Guard’s Raid Team elves.
The elves of the Elven Guard hardened their faces after explaining the contents of the curse that had been activated in the range of the entire base of the Dark Elves, where the fighting was taking place, and that they should not kill all the Dark Elves and render them incapable of fighting.
Beating down an opponent without killing them is a more complicated and difficult task than just killing them.
It is not that there is an overwhelming gap between the two forces, especially in a situation where there is an equal balance of power.
“Eleanor, we are just…”
“Su, search leader!”
Illyana, who had finished conveying the situation to the elves through Derkin, was about to tell Eleanor what to do next, when an Elven Guard elf hurriedly called Derkin.
Derkin, Illyana, and Eleanor all turned their heads and looked in the direction from which the voice came.
He hardened his expression when he saw the being that was staggering and moving behind an Elven Guard elf.
“The corpses of the dead Dark Elves… !”
A hideous face with flesh falling off and even bones visible from within.
Without even showing the movement of breathing for vital activity, its appearance, which is weak and languid, is undead.
“Zombie…”
The souls that had settled in the body during life are pulled out as soon as they die, and they are just like beasts faithful to their instincts, unable to find even a piece of intelligence.
[Three-digit magic]
[Fire Arrow]
Elven Guard Illiana’s manifested arrow of flame pierced the body of a zombie that was approaching to devour the living flesh by clinging to the elf, burning the corpse that had become a zombie.
Illyana hurriedly looked around her and saw the zombies rising one by one.
“… Tsk.”
It is the best way to burn all of them with wide-area magic of the fire attribute and not leave even corpses behind, but considering that this place is located in the forest, even the wide-area magic of the fire attribute cannot be used hastily.
It was a situation where we couldn’t let our allies, the Elven Guard elves, get caught up in magic, and there were too many numbers to deal with with the sub-magic of Small Embers.
“Miss Iliana. Do you have any means to solve this curse that has overtaken the forest?”
“… ? Huh. There is, but…”
It is not easy to leave the less than 100 Elven Guard elves alone in the process of transforming into zombies while raising hundreds of corpses.
“Please go.”
“… Eleanor?”
Not answering Illyana’s call, Eleanor slowly moved her steps toward the elves who began to engage the hordes of zombies.
She draped the staff she was holding onto the inside of her arm, bringing her free hands together.
Eleanor, who held the white orb that emanated divine energy from her hand with her two hands, burst forth with pure divinity that did not contain even an inch of dirt, and radiated it around her.
She also prays to the goddess Vesta whom she dedicates.
[Goddess. I sincerely hope that you will take care of me so that my precious person does not get hurt.]
[Vesta’s Blessing]
[Holy Sanctuary]
“This is from Agies…”
A divine aura that pushed the air that was heavy and choking with morale.
Miracles begin to occur that improve the vitality of the elves’ bodies and at the same time purify parts of the bodies of the dark elves zombies.
A barrier of sacred sanctuary that boosts the morale of the elves, who were about to break in the rapidly changing situation due to the appearance of zombies.
“This… ?”
“The wound…”
Lost physical strength is restored, and it is not enough that minor wounds have begun to heal, and the air that has been engulfed in thick morale due to the curse is gradually purified and breathing becomes easier.
The Elven Guard elves stared blankly at Eleanor, the priest who created this miracle.
The elves, who soon regained their vigor, began to focus on fighting again.
The elves expressed their gratitude with their eyes and made a promise.
Make sure to live and thank Eleanor for saving them with this miracle.
“Under…”
The image of Eleanor praying to the goddess Vesta after setting the barrier of sanctuary on the battlefield where the fierce battle between the Elven Guard elves and the Dark Elf zombies is taking place is a saint herself.
Seeing a side of the dazzling saintess, Illyana smiled half-joyed and half-surprised.
After completing her prayer, Eleanor looked at the battlefield where her sanctuary barrier was installed. Even though her battle situation improved little by little due to the miracle she caused, she had a regretful expression.
‘Compared to Anies-sama…’
Not enough for a while
Even the barrier she had set up was not enough to purify the hundreds of zombies that had just arisen, let alone the curse placed in the forest.
Even as she again realized her own limits, Eleanor showed no sign of her nervousness.
She concluded that at least this would allow her to spend some time with the elven guard elves. After finishing her judgment, she tried her best to find a way to help Eun-hyeon by resolving the current situation.
Eleanor turned her head and looked behind her and saw Illyana staring at her, and opened her mouth.
“I, Alvin, and the elves will take care of this. Illyana-sama, please do what Illyana-sama can do.”
That short word is infinitely reliable and trustworthy.
Illyana smiled her cheeky smile and nodded her head.
“It’s getting more and more cool.”
Having finished her thoughts, Illyana activated her teleport without hesitation.
