Chapter 235 – 235. The Second Coming of the Tyrant (3)
==================
The World Tree, which was called the pillar of life, began to rot.
The bark is rotting black.
Even the leaves of the World Tree, which contained the life of a newborn, began to fade and turn yellow.
Corruption that takes lives. The White of Decay was destroying the World Tree.
“Vortigan!!”
El shouted loudly.
It was so high that it was hard to believe that it was the cry of a woman with a pale complexion.
She gritted her teeth.
With deep bewilderment and strong contempt in her eyes, she glared at the man wearing the white illusion as if to kill her. It was as if he had met Cheolcheon, a long-forgotten enemy.
“… What else is that?”
A blond man with white light covering his entire body walked out of the large scars carved on the World Tree.
A meteor shower targeting the World Tree.
A white light meteor shower left a large hole in the center of the World Tree.
Just as a person pours out blood from a deep scar, the world tree also vomited life force from an open hole. The sanctuary’s sentinels were horrified by the sight.
“To think you know that nickname…. El Cid, are you one of the elven slaves who escaped then?”
The blond man’s eyes lit up.
He flaunted a calm sense of dominance with his sword dangling in white light like a wave.
The one who dealt a blow to the World Tree.
The one who corrupts the Pillar of Life, which holds vast vitality, in an instant.
The tyrant, with her lightsaber of corruption hanging down, confronted El Cid while looking alternately at her Yushin who carried her on her back.
“How can I be alive… , He must have been killed by Reinhilder… !!”
“Master?”
Yushin asked at El’s words.
El responded to him.
“The last king of the kingdom of Vulcania, he is a tyrant who destroyed the country he ruled over himself!”
With his own hands his wife and children and kinsmen,
The king who committed a terrible massacre by killing all his aides and nobles.
Due to that mad carnage, the kingdom of Vulcania, which was strong enough to control the hegemony of the continent, was destroyed.
After the kingdom of Vulcania was destroyed,
The elven slaves who were freed from the rule of the kingdom moved to the Liberia Peninsula under the guidance of the first priest, and established the present Liberia elven nation.
“Vulcania… , It’s a country name I’ve never heard of before.”
“Yes, it has to be. Fearing the return of the tyrant who committed the terrible massacre, the neighboring countries erased all documents and records related to the kingdom of Vulcania.”
And our elves too….
El said that even the elves who became free with the fall of the kingdom feared the return of the tyrant and did not leave anything related to the kingdom of Vulcania.
“Vulcania. It’s a name I haven’t heard in a really long time.”
The blond man, Vortigan, said with a bitter expression on his face.
As if recalling the past,
He had a soft smile on his lips.
Seeing this, Yushin felt nausea rising. The arrogant tyrant was not regretting the slaughter he had committed, but because he longed for the slaughter of the past.
“Rosta!”
“Yes Yes… !!”
Rosta, who was momentarily stiff at the appearance of Vortigan, was able to come to his senses thanks to Yushin’s cry.
Yushin handed L to Rosta.
And she said she’d stop Vortigan.
“No, Mr. Gilead! Fighting that monster is reckless!”
“It’s okay, it’s just to make time for a while.”
Seeing L show her concerns and concerns, Yushin replied with a smile.
It’s just to make time for a while.
Until El restores her powers and powers that were transferred to the World Tree.
Until she returns to being an oath of the elves again.
For a while,
Risking one’s life for time
“Come on.”
“Yes, I understand!”
Instead of Yushin, Rosta, carrying an El, hurried her steps.
She made her way to the heart of the World Tree.
Yusin, who briefly watched them walk towards the World Tree with his back turned, confronted the tyrant of the Vulcan Kingdom while turning his head again.
“Black hair, black eyes. Youshin Gilead… I heard that you are Reinhilder’s disciple. This is fate! To think that he would be confronted with Reinhilder’s disciple. Don’t you think this is fate?”
“No.”
Responding to Vortigan’s words with a short answer, Yushin attacked while wielding a black thunderbolt.
And a flash of white light rushed in.
As black and white collided with each other, a strong repulsive force occurred, and the two swordsmen, who had been pushed back for a while, collided again as they leaped to the ground.
“It would be rather dangerous to rush at it blindly like that.”
Vortigan said.
As soon as he finishes his words,
Yushin felt something slipping out of his body.
Vitality. Clearly, it was vitality. At the same time as he collided with the white light, Yushin was exposed to the white of corruption, and due to its influence, the vitality within his body was robbed.
“When I see you, Reinhilder comes to mind. Upright spirit, pride, and even the act of throwing oneself for a woman. You look exactly like Reinhilder.”
“Even bad words… , You’re talking about anything with an open mouth.”
At Vortigan’s remark that she resembled Reinhilder, Yushin responded with a distorted face.
You say I look like Master?
It was the worst insult ever.
“See? It is the life force stolen from you. With this much vitality… , That would be a lifespan of 10 years.”
Vortigan extended the intangible energy in his grasp to Yushin.
The vitality of life is directly related to lifespan.
Therefore, being robbed of that vitality would mean that the lifespan was forcibly taken away.
Even with a single blow, 10 years of life were taken away. It could not have been the most terrible attack threatening life with a limited lifespan.
‘Are you at a higher level than me? A swordsman with eight embers…. It’s been a while since I became Seven Amber, but I’m going to meet someone at a higher level as my adversary.’
Vortigan was a swordsman who had accumulated eight embers, and was a strong man who was positioned right below Reinhilder.
Also, since it was a monster that had been contemporaneous with Master and El Cid, it must have been a monster that had been around for hundreds of years. He even boasted of a bad name that El Cid feared greatly.
“But how long are you going to wear that mask? Why don’t you get rid of honorifics that don’t suit your appearance? If you’re a tyrant, try fucking like a tyrant!”
Cracks began to form in the false mask that the tyrant was wearing at the point of Yushin.
The disciple of the nemesis who killed me.
He took away the student’s life force.
But this is not enough. He must squeeze out more life force, all life force. It was because he had to show Reinhilder the face of his disciple, who had been forcibly robbed of all life force and turned into a skinny corpse.
What kind of expression will he make?
His heart pounded.
If Rheinhilder unleashes his powers, I will die.
But it didn’t matter.
It would have been nice if I could have seen the man who killed me sobbing, spewing out anger and hatred.
Hehe!! Heuhuhh, heuhhahahahahaha!!!”
Vortigan threw off his mask.
Then the madness of the tyrant hiding under the mask began to wriggle.
* * *
Why,
Why on earth is Vortigan still alive?
The guy is dead Clearly, Reinhilder’s sword had slashed his entire body.
The terrible nightmare that had been buried as the remnants of the past came back to life. Elle, who witnessed the white nightmare with her own two eyes, could not hide her confusion. At the time, it seemed that the screams of the humans who had been horribly murdered by Vortigan could be heard vividly in my ears.
‘Aaaaa!!’
‘The tyrant has summoned the great devils!’
‘Was our kingdom of Vulcanus destroyed by that evil tyrant!’
Eight hundred years ago,
No, the past that may have been earlier.
Millions of lives have been lost by the tyrant Vortigan.
The chaos he caused allowed freed elven slaves to cross over to the Liberia peninsula and found their own country, but even so, Vortigan was a karmic slayer who committed unforgivable mortal sins.
‘How long can even Mr. Gilead, who possesses the power of heat waves, withstand against Vortigan…. We must regain strength and powers as soon as possible. No matter how much I think about it, Mr. Gilead alone can’t defeat Vortigan.’
Vortigan is a villain who will remain as the worst tyrant in the long history of mankind. Vortigan would be the only monster that single-handedly erased millions of lives.
There, the tyrant Vortigan,
He was an invincible swordsman who had never suffered a single defeat until the appearance of the swordsman Linehilder.
Can Yushin win against such a monster?
A strong feeling of anxiety overtook me.
The fear that Yushin might die,
Horrified that his own helplessness might cause Ardena to lose her beloved lover.
“Hurry up!”
“Yes, I understand!”
Rosta responded loudly to El’s urging, her fearful voice, speeding her up even more.
I ran on top of the vertically stretched World Tree.
With mana-loaded steps, he leaped strongly and advanced to the upper floors.
As befits a world tree with a huge body, its center was in a high position. The place where the strength and powers of the oath of the elves are kept, if you reach that place and regain your strength, you will be able to return to the oath of the elves again.
‘It’s all because of me… ! If I hadn’t been forced to, if only I hadn’t shown gaps…. Grid would never have invaded Sanctuary on a massive scale! And Mr. Gilead wouldn’t have done anything reckless against Vortigan!’
It happened because of my foolishness.
All of this happened because of my stupidity.
He decided to die at the hands of his disciple for the peace of his compatriots.
Because Ardena wanted to be praised as a hero instead of me, and because she wanted her compatriots to enjoy eternal peace away from the threat of the demon king’s army.
But it was vanity.
It was just an act of self-satisfaction to shake off the guilt, wrapped up in a sense of justice that sacrificed oneself for the sake of the disciples and compatriots.
I want to go where her sister is.
I want to be free from all guilt and pressure.
It was nothing more than a decision to die on her own due to selfishness stemming from her self-satisfaction. Not only did she attract her beloved disciple to her selfish suicidal act, but also her disciple’s beloved lover and her compatriots were drawn into it.
“We will arrive soon!”
Rosta shouted.
As soon as her words run out,
Something dark rose quickly and landed right above the center where Rostar and L were heading.
Aaaaa!!!
The bark of the World Tree was smashed.
Fine dust was generated as the debris fell, and when the dust stopped, the shadow that had been cast into the body of the World Tree revealed its true identity.
“Cool cool!”
A black-haired, dark-eyed man.
Yushin coughed as he brushed off the dust from his body.
And right below, a white light flashed.
Haha!! After all, you are Reinhilder’s apprentice! To entertain Jim this much, it deserves to be praised, so I will give Jim an honorable death!!”
Throwing off the mask that had a fake smile on it, Vortigan, revealing the face of a tyrant with a terrible notoriety, appeared with a mad cow.
He had a hunch.
That El Cid is trying to regain her powers and powers again.
In order to stop her, she sent her Yushin to the center of her body. To punish El Cid with Yushin by persistently blocking his path. Having reached El’s feet, Vortigan sought the life of El, who had lost all her powers and powers and became a helpless woman.
“Where are you looking? I’m done warming up now.”
Yushin lifted her thunderbolt sword, restraining the vortigan that was aiming her gaze at El.
At that, Vortigan snorted.
“You look arrogant even after losing 100 years of your lifespan to Jim.”
“It’s completely loose.”
Black lightning and white flashes.
With the collision of the two energies, Rosta raised Veronica’s shield to protect El Cid.
A violent roar began.
A shock wave was applied that shook the tall World Tree. The Yushin’s desperate struggle to desperately protect El Cid from the tyrant of corruption has begun again.
