Chapter 130 – 130. Heat Wave Magic Core (1)
===================
Savnac eventually had to give up Granada and head to the southern continent.
The call of the ruler who rules the southern continent,
The demon king of the heat wave, who lost half of his magic core and became a half-penny, had to obey the instructions.
In the fierce battle with tens of thousands of demons, Savnak’s entire body was in a state of exhaustion. When all the demons were cleared by the black spearman, Savnak was finally able to lay down his body, which was as heavy as a full weight.
“Whoa….”
He let out a heavy sigh.
After throwing off his boots, the soles of which were stained with his blood and flesh, on the floor, he gulped down Al Ixir, an elixir that healed his wounds and poison.
“Bheek.”
The taste was the worst.
It tasted bitter to the level of beggars.
Savnak especially had a childlike taste, so he hated the bitter taste. She could tell by looking at her face, which naturally crumpled as she took the elixir.
“Your Highness, it is said that preparations for departure are not far off.”
“Okay.”
To the Ghost Rider’s report, Savnak replied with a nod of his head.
The Demon King’s army did not have a ship.
The ship anchored in the southern port of the Liberia Peninsula was from the southern continent, and it was a monster’s warship led by a huge sea beast tied to the reins.
“… Nothing has changed since then.”
Savnak laughed bitterly.
Before boarding the ship,
Savnak, who was resting for the last time, showed a strong hatred for not being able to recapture the Liberia Peninsula.
“I couldn’t achieve anything in the end. I’ve been plotting revenge for hundreds of years… , In the end, it was defeated by the Demon King Slayer and was put on the verge of collapse.”
Nothing has changed from the time when he was defeated by El Cid in the past and fled unsightly to the southern continent.
She herself was still powerless and ungainly.
Honor is in the cesspit, and pride is long gone. She was defeated even in the war to regain her honor and her pride that had been taken away by El Cid, and Sabnak was in a state of great mental exhaustion.
“The demon king slayer was just lucky. Your Highness is by no means defeated! If it hadn’t been for a storm then….”
“In a fight, variables always arise. Even if that’s why I’m defeated… , Losing is losing.”
I lost to the Demon King Slayer.
Savnak accepted the consequences of defeat.
He humbly accepted the defeat and engraved the names of Gilead and El Cid into his memory.
I will definitely get revenge someday.
The name of Yushin Gilead was imprinted as if the name of the killer was engraved. El Cid and Yushin Gilead. The demon king of the heat wave put the elven knight of the beginning and the demon king slayer of the holy empire on equal footing.
‘Grid, what the hell do you want from me?’
Savnak frowned and recalled the shape of a huge monster.
The king of all beasts.
The tyrant of ferocious monsters.
Ruler of the Southern Continent.
Savnak called the monster with a myriad of nicknames ‘Grid’. He is also called ‘Avarisha’, which means greed in the ancient language, but he was called Grid because the word for greed in the devil’s language was grid.
“The preparations for carrying are complete. Climb now.”
Said the black spearman.
At that, Savnak nodded and raised his body, which had barely been able to pull himself together.
I opened the door and went outside.
Outside, all of his men had already gathered. They were waiting for orders from Savnak.
Kreuk. Krrr.
As Savnak faced his men, a monster approached the black spearman.
“Yes?”
The monster made a boiling sound.
Did you even manage to understand that bizarre word?
The black spearman couldn’t hide his embarrassment at the monster’s message.
“Demon King Savnak, please climb to the deck first. I’ll follow later. Since the waters of the ship know the sea route, there will be no hindrance to the journey.”
“What is going on?”
Savnak asked back at the spearman’s words.
To that, the spearman said, ‘Can I talk… After thinking about it for a while, he replied with his black spear hanging down.
“They are elves.”
Elves never forget vengeance.
The moment they decide to take revenge,
He seeks revenge by any means necessary.
It was clear that the elves had noticed. As in the past, he must have realized that Savnak was trying to escape to the southern continent. The black spearman let out a deep sigh and expressed his embarrassment at the actions of the elves who began to cling to him like leeches.
‘Hmm. I placed the monsters just in case…. You could smell it and expect the elves to come in droves. After all, elves are sensitive to revenge.’
The anger of the elves towards the Demon Lord of Heat was beyond imagination.
He must be trying to stop him from escaping to the southern continent somehow. It was very embarrassing for a spearman who had to take her to the realm of her ruler as soon as possible.
But no problem.
Because thousands of monsters were already moving to deal with the elves. He had no doubt that the monsters who had ate the meat of the demons who had rebelled against Savnak would devour the meat of the elves this time.
But then,
Something happened that made the black spearman’s face wrinkle.
Aaaaa!!!
With a roar of thunder,
A blue bolt of lightning fell on an area presumed to be camped out by monsters with a voracious appetite that was almost infinite, like an anglerfish.
‘Yushin, Gilead….’
Seeing the bluish flash of light fall, the Demon King of Heat felt his heart start to beat.
Thump thump thump!
A loud beating sound resounded as if large boulders were falling one after another.
My heart is beating loudly.
My heart rate increased rapidly, and my whole body became hot. Instinct demanded that I approach the swordsman who caused the thunderbolt right now. Should I say thirst…. Instinct derived from intuition was spewing out thirst and aspirations close to hunger.
* * *
Savnak gives up Granada and tries to escape to the southern continent.
Upon hearing the news, Ilayna ordered all the elven warrior leaders to pursue.
She will never stop taking her revenge.
It will take a lot of time, but… , It was clear that she would bring her troops again and scatter the sparks of war on the Liberia Peninsula. So she raised her voice, saying that Ileina must never let go of Savnak.
“What kind of upheaval is this? I haven’t even received my deposit yet.”
Yushin muttered.
At those words, Ardena’s face, which had a serious expression, turned red.
“I’ll do it later, so just focus on Savnak for now!”
Ardena shouted at her Yushin, who blatantly muttered her grievances.
Yushin and Ardena,
The Elf Warriors and the heavily armed Elf Knights used the Warp Gate to arrive at the area closest to Granada, and rode horses prepared by the spies guarding Granada.
“I never thought they would abandon their last base on the Liberia Peninsula and try to escape to the southern continent…. It’s not like Savnak.”
Yushin muttered.
The one who answered that was Bariteon.
“You said you fled to the southern continent when you were defeated by El Cid before. See if there is an instinct to belong. Not particularly surprising.”
There is an assistant on the southern continent.
Surely with the help of that helper, it would be to get out of Granada.
Sharp spines that disintegrated tens of thousands of demons. Yushin cared about the strong man who subdued tens of thousands of people at once. If the information is true, it will be a very annoying enemy to deal with.
“Bariteon Warrior!”
Rosta, who rode in the lead, shouted loudly and reported the threat ahead.
Demons clad in black leather,
Standing on all fours, they showed their wariness towards the beasts with their sharp fangs exposed.
I heard information about the monster that invaded Granada and ravaged the demons from the spy. The information and appearance matched. A monster that boasted of gluttony enough to turn countless demons into bony bones, the warrior commanders lifted their weapons at the appearance of the monster.
“Yushin!”
“Yea, I got it.”
At Ardena’s cry, Yushin dropped his thunderbolt sword.
Blue thunderbolts gathered on the blade.
It was to annihilate as many monsters as possible by swinging the blade in the widest possible range.
The moment he was about to swing his sword, Yushin had to swallow the saliva drowned in pain along with the unknown pain. The reason was unknown. The moment he tried to unleash the accumulated thunderbolts in his body, something unknown blocked the release of the thunderbolts.
‘It’s not Karus’ problem… What the fuck is this?!’
Yoo-shin had to feel doubts about the obstacles he had never experienced before.
He failed to eject the thunderbolt.
It is because something unknown has forcibly blocked the passage of the thunderbolt. While struggling with the identity of that ‘something’, Yushin entrusted the elven warrior chiefs with the opponents of the monsters for a while.
“Yushin… ?”
When Yushin’s attempt to wield a thunderbolt ended in a misfire, Ardena, feeling strange, asked in surprise.
At that, Yushin shook his head.
He swung his thunderbolt sword, telling himself that it was nothing, that it was just a physical condition problem.
So, so, so, so, so!!!
Blue thunderbolts flew over the warrior chiefs who were dealing with the monsters that started to attack all at once.
The thunderbolts emitted while creating sharp sparks swallowed hundreds of monsters. Along with the acrid smoke, the corpses of the monsters that had been roasted rolled around on the floor.
‘Damn it, my hands are shaking this time. I’m not some weed-sucking junkie.’
Yushin swallowed his saliva as he felt his hand holding the hilt of his sword begin to tremble.
My body looked like shit.
In addition to the lightning that did not move as intended, the body was also strange.
It had been fine until now.
Wielding a sword,
There was no obstacle in causing a thunderbolt.
But strangely…. After arriving near Granada by warp gate, abnormalities began to occur in his body.
“Seeing how fiercely they block the front, it seems obvious that Savnak is really running away to the southern continent!”
Baritheon shouted while brandishing the spear of white frost.
The monsters turned into ice statues.
It froze in the air, aiming at sharp teeth and claws.
“I have never seen a monster that looks like this. A monster from the southern continent….”
Miguel muttered, having turned countless monsters into meat with his fists clad in ink-colored knuckles.
His weapon is a fist,
To be precise, it was a knuckle wrapped around his hand.
The very simple and simple-looking weapon was his weapon, and it was the weapon given to him by the priest.
It was very lacking in splendor compared to other weapons called holy relics or divine relics. It’s a weapon that could be found at any blacksmith’s shop. It is a weapon that could be used by an apprentice monk. Yushin didn’t even think it was a holy relic until Ardena explained it to him.
“I am still breathing hard. Yushin, what’s wrong?”
Ardena asked.
At that, Yushin stopped hiding it and answered honestly.
“Uh. I must say that I get out of breath every time I get close to Granada…. My body is a mess and the thunderbolt doesn’t listen. The reason is… , I don’t know.”
“It’s dangerous. For now, I will cover you.”
“Thank you.”
Sensing the seriousness of Yushin’s words, Ardena raised her shield to prepare for any possible threat.
She skillfully used her shield.
She wielded her shield and defeated the attacking monsters, and while deploying mana on her shield, she even developed a large-scale defense technique.
She didn’t seem to be using a shield for the first time.
Even though she was given the shield as a condition of handing over the Hundred Hundred Weapons to Rosta, Ardena continued to wield her shield while displaying proficiency comparable to Rosta.
