Chapter 427 – 122. Apostle Lamia (2)
East wall of Harsen Castle.
This was the rear, where relatively fierce battles hadn’t taken place in the past. Now, a fierce battle was taking place on either side of the wall.
Wave support weave-
No, just saying that it was fierce couldn’t capture all of that battle.
A scene that had never been seen in any battle in Harsen Castle was unfolding right in front of their eyes.
“Uh, how could such a sword attack…”
Charlotte Klein, a knight of the Midnight Sun Knights. She couldn’t take her eyes off the sword wielded by the young man in front of her.
Chae Chaeng-
The swords collided in the air again.
And the red long-haired woman who blocked Yulian’s sword attack shouted.
“How can I get my attack… No, I’m safe from the influence of demon power? An insignificant human… Keuheuk!!”
The mahonin did not give me a chance to speak freely.
Yulian’s sword surged again. A sword strike that was very familiar to her, her Knight of the Midnight Sun, unfolded.
‘It’s definitely a lion heart sword…’
But now she felt her own common sense being destroyed.
Certainly with the sword that the sword draws. And the older brother contained in the sword attack is the lion heart sword.
However, the Lion Heart Sword is a strong sword. Although the sword is famous for merging, its speed is never slow, contrary to prejudice.
As it is a fierce steel sword, the speed at which it swings is also savagely fast.
‘But the lord’s sword looks frustratingly slow. No, it’s not slow!’
If it was a slow sword, it would never be able to deal with the demon in front of it.
No, beyond simply dealing with her, Yulian was rather overwhelming that woman.
‘Even though that red-haired married woman’s reaction speed was close to Master’s.’
Although the spouting Aura Sword increased the acceleration of Mana Heart to the point of exceeding 2m. Charlotte couldn’t keep up with her movements.
By the time you reached that woman’s body, she was already wielding her own sword in the air.
Even the mahonin didn’t even take out his sword. She only blocked her own attacks with her long claws.
At least it stopped the sword attack. It was to mock myself.
– What. You can’t even use nail clippers with such a trivial sword.
That’s how she pushed Charlotte from start to finish with ease. She even blocked all of Lucia’s quick attacks, which were aiming for her momentary opening.
‘Even though Sir Lucia is not a swordsman with absolute lack of skills!’
She was a swordsman who surpassed her mediocre cadet and was no shortage of herself even compared to herself.
‘And because of the magic power that woman creates, she’s choking…’
Enormous demonic power comparable to that of a Type 1 Witchbeast. No, that woman spewed out more magical powers than that.
‘Especially the attack from a moment ago…’
When Charlotte was about to touch her neck with the half moon of her red horse spirit power created by her demon spirit for the last time. She already knew her death.
But now she was safe.
The man in front of him was fighting on his behalf.
“Everyone, wake up and prepare for battle! The magic spirit power emitted by the Witchbeast is just an unpleasant stench, so just ignore it! And here I am!”
Charlotte’s eyes turned to the owner of the voice, Yulian.
“This means that I, Julian von Reinhardt, lord of Harsen, is with you!”
With such an angry shout, his sword rushed at Ma Hon-in.
“What!! How is this guy catching up with my sword?”
Mahonin was in a hurry to barely block Yulian’s sword. Not just catching up, but all the initiative belonged to Yulian.
‘That lion heart sword. It is refined so sharp that it sends chills down the spine.’
It is a sword attack with a calm feeling enough to be mistaken for a slow sword.
However, before even Charlotte was aware of the movement, the sword path had already ended. No, she actually doesn’t even recognize the sword properly.
‘It’s frighteningly stealthy. The sword attack I thought I saw was actually just a part of it.’
Actually, it was less than 30 seconds. In the meantime, Ma Hon-in’s whole body was a mess with wounds.
Her visible sword strikes were only two or three, but the wounds were already dozens of places.
‘If that’s the case, there must be countless changes in swordsmanship in there.’
However, she only had two or three sword attacks that Charlotte had read.
It meant that even Charlotte, who heard her voice of going after Yuriel, among her young critics, couldn’t see the swordsman exactly.
“Bastard! As a human subject, how can I withstand my magic power… And attack like this? This, humans can’t do this!”
And it seemed that Marriage directly dealing with Julian had a greater impact on her than Charlotte.
At that moment, Yulian’s eyes shone. He shouted again.
“All focus! And the other knights help the soldiers drive out the demons on the wall! I will deal with this demon myself!”
Like a lion’s roar, a huge voice echoed through the walls of the castle.
In an instant, the pressure of the enormous magical power that had been pressing down on Charlotte as if it was suffocating disappeared.
***
Marshall was clearly perplexed.
10 minutes had passed since the battle between the two had already begun. It was a battle that was so rough that the witch beasts and soldiers around the two all retreated far away. The appearances of the two were quite different.
“Nothing. I heard that the most insignificant of the Keiatic Gates is Paludis. After all, isn’t that apostle too insignificant? Is the weakest of the apostles four years old?”
“Don’t talk bullshit!!”
Ma Hon-in was very angry at the provocation, which was not a big deal.
‘It’s worth it.’
Her body was so disorganized that the armor and clothes she was wearing were almost gone.
On the other hand, I didn’t have a single scratch on the golden armor I was wearing. That married man was just embarrassed.
“Yeah… More…! If I press you with more magic power, that relaxed face… Kyaha!!!”
The mahonin’s shouts echoed on the walls of the castle. And at the same time, the magic power became stronger.
A type 1 witch’s nest.
A large amount of demonic energy, which could only be felt in the depths of an empire-type nest that had already developed into an empire, began to weigh down the castle walls.
‘It would be troublesome if I did this.’
After all, it may be that he is an apostle of the Keatic Gate, but the magical power he generates is tremendous.
The absolute amount was to the extent that it surpassed Chris, who had transformed into a monster form.
‘Well, that’s all.’
But only that amount is full. It seemed that the ability to handle magic power properly was lacking.
‘To be precise, the dominance of demon power.’
Magic spirit power is also different in form, but it is the power expressed from mana.
So, like the fallen dwarf, it can create an influence of dominance around it like magic.
That Demon Spirit, with the overwhelming amount of Demon Spirit power, temporarily created dominance over the surroundings. Unfortunately, the ability to concentrate that dominance in one place was vastly lacking compared to me.
Seuk-
So I used the dominance that I had trained in the battle with the Fallen Dwarf to my heart’s content.
Because my dominance overwhelms that demon. Even with a normal attack, its power is greatly doubled.
‘It’s like throwing a brick off a high-rise building.’
Just as those accelerated bricks seriously damage cars on the ground. My demonic energy that dominates the area greatly increases the efficiency of my attacks.
So, the current Mahonin couldn’t resist my Lion Heart Sword at all.
“Why… I can see it… So the sword strike… Came in so quickly?”
Of course, it was because Magi increased his control over space. I was under no obligation to explain.
‘Rather than that, the situation on the eastern wall is…’
I also had time to look around.
Lucia and Charlotte, who were already fighting hard leading the soldiers of the castle wall. And even Yuriel joined in and was enduring against the monsters.
“Because of those damn birds and sub-dragons… Damn it. Archers, focus on attacking Wyverns and Harpies!”
However, it was difficult for the soldiers to deal with aerial monsters with wings or the ability to fly. Even the number of heads was not small.
Wait, it was time to release my power.
– Everyone get out of here.
And that moment. The atmosphere around them changed.
“Wow, what’s going on! Suddenly, the aerial monsters begin to retreat!”
“Then, everyone, concentrate! Concentrate on dealing with the normal monsters that climbed up the wall!”
When the attacks of the air monsters that harassed the soldiers and knights stopped, the morale of the walls rose all at once.
“What happened! I command you as your master! Don’t run away and fight those damn humans!”
The demon spirit raised the demon power to the surroundings. Even so, the air type magic beasts ignored the instructions and all left the castle wall.
I looked at the married man and said.
“Sorry but. I do not allow little things to fly freely in the skies I rule.”
“What the hell kind of trick…”
Of course, he only released the magic dragon’s power. Dragons rule the sky. Therefore, insignificant flying beasts are not allowed to enter the territory without permission.
Is that the same for witches? The aerial monsters were frightened by my anger and all fled.
“Ugh… I won’t let you set it up the way you want!”
That was the moment. The whole body of Ma Hon-in, whose work had not been resolved as intended, began to tremble. Anger was so intense that the air around him was torn apart by his demon power.
‘It’s different from before.’
I, who consistently overpowered the married couple, too. The sharpness of the magic power changed to the point of momentarily stopping.
“Release the power of a true… Apostle, four things…”
But that was the time. A man who appeared to be an adjutant approached her and shouted.
“Lamiar! The apostle’s power must not be released yet! It is far from the Keiatic Gate, so an additional gate is needed to awaken all power! So, a few more days! If you release that power now, demonization will fail!”
“Are you trying to stop me! Then I’ll kill you…”
However, due to her rage, she withdrew her sword as she tried to kill even her subordinates.
Yuriel, who quickly cut down the demons nearby, joined me. The anticipation she uttered was unusual.
“Lord! Are you all right!”
“Chit. An intruder…”
The maternal marriage, by the name of Ramiar, took her body back. I shouted hastily.
“Are you going to come and take me out now?”
Kakakakakang-
My aura sword furiously tore through the air. Lamiar barely blocked the sword attack. And the monsters who were dealing with the soldiers started blocking my way all at once.
Sssss-
I lightly decapitated five Type 2 Witchbeasts. Beyond that, dozens of monsters blocked the wall again.
“Bastard! Was your name Julian? Next time we meet, I will definitely kill you! No, I’ll cut off your limbs and keep you alive and let you crawl on the floor forever.”
Covering the messed up body with a cloak, Lamiar jumped off the wall. Her wyvern, who had fled far away from her, hurriedly flew in and snatched her up.
‘Should I go after him?’
However, the beasts still remained on the wall and were fighting the territories. The knights were fighting hard, but the number of high-ranking magic beasts was high, so they were inferior.
‘I’ll have to solve that first.’
The territory of Harsen belongs to me. His work as a lord came first.
Most of all, if you overdo it and encounter the onslaught of the rest of the Byrea army, it would be a disqualification as a lord.
‘Now Mercury in Harsen Castle comes first.’
Anyway, there will be a chance to take care of that lamiar sooner or later. Obviously when Reinheim’s reinforcements arrive.
I raised my sword and shouted at the wall again.
“The enemy general got scared of me and ran away! So you have nothing to fear on these walls! I am with you! Harsen Territory Army, drive out those witches!”
“All right! Lord!”
“The great Reinhardt is with us!”
All the soldiers on the eastern wall raised their voices and called my name. The soldiers’ momentum grew stronger.
An hour later. The Yeongji Army on the eastern wall successfully defended against the enemy’s surprise attack. It was an allied victory.
***
Three hours after the raid was over.
Three knights sat down on a wooden bench inside the barracks.
“Eugugu… My whole body aches and I’m going to die. I’m older than you two, so don’t overdo it…”
“You joke well, Sir Charlotte. You are still in your prime. When others hear it, they will know it as a woman in her 50s.”
Uriel answered Charlotte’s words. Then she said, Charlotte laughing.
“Really! Being in your late 20s is completely different from being in your early 20s!”
That’s how Charlotte and Uriel shared a nonsensical joke. Like the Knights of the Midnight Sun, the discipline is usually tight.
Since they are also the same age, they would easily exchange words in private like this.
And Lucia, who had been with the two in a fierce battle, also looked at it.
‘Sir Uriel has a look like that too.’
Lucia sat in the seat next to him and listened silently to the chatter of the two.
How long had she been a cadet who hoped to join the Midnight Sun Knights? The figure of the female knight in the midnight sun looked very fresh.
As their joke continued, Charlotte smiled as expected and looked at Lucia.
“Sir Lucia was great today too! Looking at her appearance, no one can deny that she is a Knight of the Midnight Sun. To be able to treat type 2 demons lightly like that…”
“Oh no! Compared to the two of you, I…”
Lucia answered. And she said
“And… Count Julian. Compared to the lord, I’m nothing…”
At that, all three were silent. Like Lucia said. The figure Julian showed today was amazing.
No, beyond my surprise, it didn’t feel like it was the same swordsman. His skills were overwhelming.
All three are excellent swordsmen. Everyone seemed to have no choice but to remain silent, as if each of them felt something in Lucia’s words.
Then, Charlotte broke the silence first.
“I, Sir Lucia, said that he was with the lord until recently! Then… Would you like to tell us more about the lord?”
“That… That…”
“Just in time, we are taking turns from the wall for a while, so we can wash our bodies and come back. Let’s go into the bath together and let’s hear it! So that’s what you do?”
Charlotte’s eyes sparkled. Lucia somehow couldn’t refuse those words. It was a request from a comrade she had just risked her life fighting alongside.
Even Uriel seems to be waiting for Lucia’s answer. She inadvertently kept her eyes on Lucia.
‘There’s nothing I can do about it!’
Eventually, the three of them left the barracks and headed to the bathroom together.
