Chapter 236 – 236. In Fact, Nobody Wanted to Lose (1)
=======================
Yushin may die
Every time the white light flashed, Yushin’s vitality shook dangerously. Elle felt her powerlessness in the sight of her own self, who had to just watch the scene.
His life is finite.
Although it is said that the lifespan was greatly extended by accepting the magic core of the heat wave, there was a limit to the lifespan. If you continue to mercilessly take away your life force, you will soon reach your limit.
“Now how do we get to the center?!”
Rosta shouted.
The place where Yushin and Vortigan are fighting.
It was a passage leading to the center of the World Tree.
Cunningly, Vortigan blocked the passage and was dealing with Yushin. It is a ploy to deal with El Cid after stealing all of Yushin’s life force. As if to prove him, Vortigan relentlessly robbed Yushin of his vitality while emitting white brilliance.
“Mister Gilead… !”
El muttered.
It just keeps taking lives away.
Yushin can’t win against Vortigan,
Besides, Vortigan was much stronger than when he was killed by Sword Saint Reinhilder. It is not known how he rose from the dead, but it was clear that he had continued to build up his strength for the next 800 years or so.
“The attack is coming this way, be careful!”
Vortigan, who had been continuously attacking Yushin, suddenly aimed at El Cid.
Rostar raised his shield.
As Veronica’s shield unfolded, it stopped the white light that poured out.
Because he was completely blocked, he could not lose his life in the white light. Rostar, who succeeded in defending by a narrow margin, sighed deeply and glared at Vortigan with both eyes.
“It’s a very strong shield.”
Was it offended that his own attack was undone,
Vortigan showed this.
“Kuk!”
After driving Yushin into a corner with a white lightsaber, he immediately turned around and aimed at El, who was under Rosta’s impenetrable protection.
Both eyes glowed with excitement.
The desire to be able to kill the oath of the elves with his own hands, and the joy of being able to kill the elven slaves who had fled from the kingdom of Vulcanus.
“Did you think you could betray Jim and survive!!”
A slave who escaped from the kingdom of Vulcanus.
El Cid, along with Grid and Reinhilder, rose to the ranks of the pledgers, but in front of the tyrant Vortigan, he was nothing more than a mere elf slave.
Punish the runaway slave,
Isn’t that the role of the owner soon?
Vortigan, thinking that everything in the kingdom of Vulcanus belonged to him, raised his white lightsaber to sentence the escaped elven slave to death.
“Do you know who the wrapping cloth is!!”
Vortigan targets El Cid,
In the meantime, there was Rosta.
Rostar swung her shield with all her might, sending the charged vortigan flying back.
Rostar shouted loudly, as if she was outraged by Vortigan’s actions targeting Elle over herself. She even boasted that she would never be able to touch the hair of the first warrior until she died.
‘Muh, what kind of power… The two hands holding the shield almost fell off!’
But unlike shouting,
Rostar lashed her tongue out at Vortigan’s mighty blow as she let her saliva flow into her.
It was heavier than any attack he had received so far. If he had squeezed his grip even a little weakly, he might have caused the misfortune of missing Veronica’s shield. At that, Rosta put on a very nervous expression, wary of Vortigan’s second strike.
“Good work, Rosta!”
Vortigan, who was deflected by the shield, had to compete with Yushin, who approached again, with sword strikes.
Black lightning flashed fiercely.
Seeing that, Rostar hurriedly raised his shield.
At the same time as the lightning flashed, a vast amount of lightning fell from high in the sky. It was a wide-ranging attack that completely wiped out the surrounding area. Vortigan had no way to deal with the sudden black thunderbolt, so he clenched his teeth and relied on his white lightsaber.
“A person who is not even a worthless slob continues to block Jim’s progress!”
“I lost to Master!”
Black and white,
Two colors that could never be mixed collided.
And the sword dance begins.
The dominant side was Vortigan.
Despite being struck by a black thunderbolt that fell from the sky, he remained unharmed.
Lightning struck him all over his body.
But Vortigan was fine.
Not only did the scorched wounds recover in an instant, but he swung his lightsaber more fiercely and absorbed the life force of Yushin.
‘No, if we continue the workshop like this, Mr. Gilead will really die….’
El’s eyes began to tremble.
With her fear-stricken expression on her face, El thought that she had to stop her restoration, but she bit her lip as there was no other way for now.
Yushin dies.
Losing all of her life force, she becomes a dead man.
The lover Ardena loved, the man she had become the object of her will, would be killed by that tyrant.
‘Even if we regain all the power and authority from the World Tree, we can’t actually help Gilead-san. I’m sure King Vortigan won’t stop attacking even if I regain my strength!’
Have you ever felt so deeply helpless?
Because of me,
Because of my stupidity,
A precious person in Ardena is approaching death step by step.
I could see it in El’s eyes.
The strong vitality of Yushin was clearly visible, blurring each time the whiteness of corruption flashed.
“Khahaha!! Even if you resist meaninglessly like this, you will die in the end, so why fight? I think running away with your back turned would be much more fun. Wouldn’t it be bad to see Reinhilder’s apprentice running away clumsily?”
Did he see El start to shed tears while watching Yushin die slowly?
Vortigan shouted loudly.
Was it to provoke El, who was venting her powerlessness, or was she thinking of completely crushing her ego.
He blatantly drove Yushin into a corner.
“You talk too much.”
Like a blow of repentance,
Yushin’s blade shot rapidly and cut Vortigan’s face.
The blond man stepped back with a staggering step, his face scarred.
Fast. A grinding sound was heard. Vortigan’s eyes began to overflow with murderous intent, as if receiving an unexpected blow in the middle of his arrogance had touched the tyrant’s pride.
“My master told me not to show weakness by leaving women behind.”
Although it seems like it has already been shown many times.
Yushin shed her tears and lamented the sight of L looking at her with pity as she pointed the point of her sword at Vortigan.
Did it seem regretful to see him being unilaterally suffered?
Yoo-shin couldn’t help but lament at the sight of El, who was sad to see her.
On the subject of such a loud voice,
I couldn’t overcome a tyrant soaked in madness, so I showed a confused look.
I just wanted to show my cool side…. The harsh reality did not melt.
“As expected, you are the same as Reinhilder. When I look at that humble top, I can’t stand it because it’s disgusting. I never thought it would be the same to dare to be arrogant in order to protect a woman who is nothing but a pile of luggage in front of us.”
Votty Gunn showed his teeth in Yushin’s appearance of not backing down even though she was struggling to let out her breath.
His appearance overlapped with that of Reinhilder.
Vortigan was determined.
He promised to engrave despair on his disciple who reminded him of Reinhilder.
“Feel your powerlessness keenly, you lowly bastard.”
A white light flashed.
As soon as the light that flashed like a flash stopped, blood lines were engraved on Yushin’s body.
As if the competition of men and women up until now was nothing more than a game,
I was allowed to take a blow too easily.
Vortigan had already experienced Reinhilder’s swordsmanship. And he understood Yushin’s swordsmanship as well. Vortigan, who judged that the detection was over, proved the gap by carving a fatal wound on Yushin’s body in an instant.
“Stand there, this damn baby!”
With a mortally wounded figure, Vortigan turned away from himself on one knee and rushed towards El and Rostar.
But he didn’t stop.
Rather, he swung the sword in his hand wide and attacked Rosta, who had raised Veronica’s shield.
Aaaaa!!!
A blow clad in the whiteness of corruption,
It hit Veronica’s shield mercilessly.
It attacked Veronica’s shield with repeated blows, as if to cut her body in two along with the shield.
‘My hands won’t last if I keep getting beaten up! I have to drop him somehow with this judge!’
You’ll only win this way.
If it leads to a war of attrition, the shield will eventually collapse.
Deciding that, Rosta tried to drop Vortigan while swinging his shield, but Vortigan rather aimed for the moment Rosta released his defensive stance as if he had been waiting for him.
“I have good judgment, but at best it’s just a worm’s struggle. Give Jim the life of El Cid. If you do, I will grant you special mercy in giving you room to escape.”
“Of course I will refuse!”
“This guy and that guy…. You don’t even know how precious life is. I was thinking of killing them all anyway.”
In response to Rostar’s hard line, Vortigan dealt with Rostar, who was covering Elle, as he would treat her little child.
It’s just a matter of making time,
What would be the difference if I bought time?
I couldn’t understand.
No matter how hard the floor-crawling bugs try,
In the end, it must be self-evident that you will face the fate of death.
“Aagh!!”
The shield that lost its owner was stuck deep in the world tree.
Rosta tumbled across the floor.
Eventually, unable to withstand Vortigan’s blow, he fell into a state of incapacity.
Rostar, who had fallen to the floor, tried to get back up somehow, but his arms, which had to withstand the blows of the vortigan several times, were already so badly damaged that he couldn’t even lift his shield.
“Your face looks familiar now.”
Finally, the corrupt king of the kingdom of Vulcan reached the front of the elven slave who had fled from the kingdom.
The eyes of the king and slave met.
Vortigan scanned El Cid’s face slowly and found it very familiar.
“That hair…. She is the same color as the woman Reinhilder tried to protect. And you look a lot like her elf, her bitch, and even her appearance.”
The woman Reinhilder tried to protect.
I remember being an elf with light purple hair like this woman.
It was annoying.
She was upset that she might be related to Rheinhilder.
How much more did this woman foolishly throw away her strength and become a helpless piece of meat? Ji tried to pass on all her powers and powers to her disciple. Even sacrificing herself for the sake of others…. It was so stupid that I couldn’t even watch it.
“Sacrificing yourself for your fellow countrymen? I’m so disgusted I can’t even open my mouth. You vomit, bitch.”
Vortigan sat down and looked down at El, who was leaning against the World Tree.
Elf oath.
An opponent she could never defeat.
The beast of lust, the strongest piece that was in charge of the axis of the oath along with the Sword Saint.
But what about now?
She gave up all her powers and powers and fell into a weakling herself. Isn’t that why she was put in a situation where she was threatened with death at her own hands, when she would never have been able to win?
‘A woman weak enough to throw away her powers and powers on her own, unable to overcome the pressure, was an oath. It’s ridiculous.’
I don’t know what forced her to make such a desperate choice.
And she didn’t even want to know.
Vortigan said she was probably the kind of person he could never understand, and she gave up trying to understand.
“Vortigan, how did you come back to life? She must have been killed by Reinhilder! I saw with my own eyes your body being torn to pieces!”
“Did you think that something like death would stop me?”
“You should have disappeared along with the cursed kingdom of Vulcanus… !”
Faced with the whiteness of her corruption, El shivered as she recalled the fears she had felt in her past.
Horror like plague,
The fear of a tyrant that corrodes the clear mind and chokes the body,
The terrible past of being held captive by the kingdom of Vulcan and working as a slave of a different race held El’s legs like shackles that bound the sinner.
“Resent your foolishness for giving up on being strong with your heart broken. El Cid.”
Vortigan raised her sword.
At that, El prepared for her death.
She could neither escape nor resist, so the only thing El could do now was to humbly accept her death.
But is it because the ghost that confirmed that she died miserably appeared before her eyes?
The fear didn’t stop.
The terrible trauma of being a slave to the kingdom of Vulcan came to mind and stimulated fear.
‘Vortigan… , Does Reinhilder know that Vortigan has been revived? No, Reinhilder can’t go out. If Reinhilder moves, Grid, who must be watching the scene from somewhere, will turn the Liberia peninsula into a mess. So who the hell is going to stop Vortigan? If Reinhilder remains silent, no one can stop Vortigan. Of course Mr. Gilead and the commander of Rosta… , Ardena will also fall to the tyrant’s sword. And all of my countrymen.’
The moment until the sword of the tyrant Vortigan strikes down.
El had many thoughts.
Just before her death, countless thoughts passed by in a brief moment like a kaleidoscope recalling the past.
Only then did Elle realize why she was feeling fear to the point that her body trembled.
Due to her own stupidity,
In the end, she feared that everyone would be killed by the tyrant Vortigan.
“… I don’t understand.”
Vortigan muttered.
The moment he swung his sword at the helpless elf woman sitting on the floor waiting for her death,
Yushin, who had been mortally wounded by her, intervened.
And as she raised her sword, she blocked the murderous intent directed at El instead.
Fuhuaaaaa!!
You saved El from the tyrant.
However, Yushin had to pay a heavy price for it.
Vortigan broke the sword blocked by Carus and blew away Yushin’s left arm, which was holding the hilt with Carus. At the same time as a fountain of hot blood gushed out, her missing arm rolled on the floor.
“Ahhh…. Aww, ah… !!”
El, who watched it right in front of him,
Was she going through a major psychological trauma?
She couldn’t say anything, she just let out her sobs.
