Chapter 300 – 300. Return of the Wraith (2)
===========================
The assailant, who was covered in pitch-black shadows, had a foreign appearance to anyone’s eyes.
Is it some kind of witchcraft?
The existence of the shadow, which violently fluctuated as if it would be ejected in all directions at any moment, acted as a threat to Ardena, who was aiming her blade at close range.
‘The barrier magic deployed in the priest’s office is still working. Then, how was this assailant able to break into the office without being stopped by the barrier magic?’
Another question,
It was the voice of a monster.
A woman’s voice came out of the shadows.
At the sound of her womanly voice with her own name in her mouth, Ardena felt a strange reluctance.
“Ah, Ardena… ! Coppola!”
The young priest shouted as she held the bloodied chief maid in her arms and shed tears.
At the high priest’s cries mixed with screams,
Power came into Ardena’s grip as she firmly gripped the hilt of her holy sword.
Ardena had no choice but to hold her back so that the suddenly approaching stranger would not dare to extend her demonic hand to her god curator. She wanted to help her gravely injured maid at any moment, but she had to suppress her heart.
“Chief!”
“The assailant broke into the priest’s office!”
I heard a deafening roar,
Numerous elven knights with spears and swords gathered in front of the office.
The elven knights who saw the bizarrely unmoving stranger with Ardena holding her behind her, distorted her face sternly, revealing bewilderment and wariness.
“That’s a quick response. No, did you know in advance?”
The assailant asked Ardena.
El Cid,
Perhaps El Cid caught the existence of a crude impurity that had entered the elven realm and informed her disciple Ardena about it.
“Kuk!”
Because I saw it clearly,
Ardena roared ferociously as she swallowed her saliva.
“As expected, you were easily discovered. Yes, I am no longer your countryman.”
“What… ?”
As the conversation between the stranger and Ardena continued, the twin warrior commanders who commanded the court knights shouted.
“Hurry up and take the high priest to a safe place!”
“Subdue the monster!”
Seira Leon and Emily Leon,
The twin sisters rushed along with the court knights.
The assailant who saw him attacked the knights who broke into the office at the same time, including Ardena, who threatened her from behind by swinging her right arm before Ardena’s blade aimed at her neck moved.
“Kuk!”
As Ardena hurriedly raised her sword, she parried the attack that had landed on her, then slashed her body to protect Ilayna.
“Ah!”
“Kheueup!!”
Like a venomous snake, an attack with a graceful curve flooded in, filling the narrow space.
Of course, Ardena, who caught her behind,
They attacked the royal knights, including the twin warrior chiefs, almost simultaneously.
The court knights, who were allowed to take a blow without knowing why, had to stop for a moment as they approached the assailant and priest, while showing appearances such as falling backwards or kneeling down and swallowing saliva.
‘Whip?’
The slender weapon that made a metal sound like a metal chain was definitely a whip.
The sack in the hands of the assailant,
A metal string connected to the hilt.
It was a weapon that completely tore opponents apart with instant acceleration. Surprisingly, in that short moment, the assailant swung his whip and attacked Ardena and the court knights.
“Pu-huh?!”
The elven knight, who suffered minor injuries with his wrist lightly torn by the violently whipped whip, suddenly gushed out blood.
Dark dead blood,
Mouth, eyes and ears… He collapsed to the floor with blood pouring out of the holes all over his body at the same time.
And without even a chance to provide first aid, the elf knight died in an instant.
“Cool!”
“Ugh… Aagh!!”
So did the other articles.
Was the whip coated with deadly poison?
All the knights whose skin was touched or wounded by the whip even a little died while bleeding.
“Uh, sister… !”
Seeing more than 10 elven knights dying almost simultaneously in front of her eyes, Emily looked at her sister with a look of great astonishment.
“Don’t be afraid, Emily! You have to protect the priest!”
It seems that Seira was also shocked, as she was glaring at the assailant who wielded her weapon with a serious expression on her face.
She had to prioritize the new director.
Throwing her sword, Seira pulled at the hands of her handmaiden, who was still covered in blood, and Ileina, who was trembling with fear, at the same time.
“Everyone protect the priest!”
The knights who finally came to their senses at Seira’s cry moved her steps and escorted her, Reina.
The monster’s movements stopped.
She watched as the knights were willing to die for the sake of the young god commander, with her whip drooping on the floor, as sleek and slender as a snake.
“────!!!”
Perhaps because she saw the deaths of her compatriots who were gruesomely murdered, Ardena, who had a grim expression on her face, charged at her Gihan brandishing her sword.
The knights secured the priest’s safety.
There were no more factors blocking Ardena.
“Quit!”
The blonde high elf warrior chief cut off the tip of the whip that had flown from behind,
Spinning his body, he swung his sword at the assailant.
Celestial Sun (天璇).
Slashes the enemy in one blow.
The blow with a dark green aura drew a large horizontal trajectory and reached the assailant.
“Flaw… Haha!”
The assailant raised the handle of the whip and blocked the dark green sharp trajectory.
In addition, the shadows that had been flowing all over the body stretched out at the same time like a creature with an independent ego, opposing the dark green trajectory.
However
He narrowly avoided being cut, but perhaps he couldn’t absorb the force and impact of the sword strike, so the assailant, who saved his life by killing himself, flew back.
“Well done, Ardena warrior commander!”
It was an innumerable amount of spirits that restrained the assailant who was flying back defenselessly.
And the Dark Elf woman who appeared,
It was Kallen Daae, El Cid’s close friend and animistic teacher at Bria Academy.
Numerous spirits that moved according to her gestures restrained the assailant’s limbs. So that they could never escape, numerous spirits with their own attributes worked together to create an inexhaustible prison and a pair of birds.
“Government ordinance… ? It must have been completely lost in the tribal war with the demon king’s army….”
The stranger muttered as he saw the spirits exerting their power while floating around.
Like I can’t believe it
He looked at the shackles of various attributes wrapped around his limbs.
“It looks like you are a survivor of the Tribal Wars with spirits.”
Then it makes sense.
A dark elf woman who is entrusting the upper spirits who completely control the surrounding space,
It must be an ancient elf who lived the same time as El Cid.
“You know quite a lot. Even Savnak, who regards us elves as enemies, probably doesn’t know that much… !”
“Hmm.”
The assailant, salivating at Kalen’s words, opened the shadows covering her body at the same time and attacked the shackles deployed by over 100 higher spirits.
Like a sand castle shattered by the waves,
The shackles, which were strong enough to restrain even a dragon that had been there for thousands of years, were split into fine particles.
“Who are you… ?”
Ardena asked, aiming at her sharp blade.
To that question,
The assailant raised his head and replied.
“You served… Ruler of the Liberia Peninsula.”
The pitch-black shadows covering the whole body dispersed in an instant, as if exposed to a dizzying light.
The monster’s face was revealed.
Not only Ardena, who saw that scene from the closest distance, but also the elven knights who were aiming at her spears while swallowing her fear, opened her mouth wide and let out in astonishment.
“Corte dos Liberia.”
Blue hair as if dyed with paint made from finely ground lapis lazuli,
Black eyes that remind you of the night sky.
With a look that embraces solitary beauty,
A cold expression that had completely cooled the warmth was revealed.
“You worshiped with open arms… , The reincarnation of the first priest has returned.”
A cold silence spread.
As soon as the assailant reveals his identity,
There was only cold silence that seemed to envelop the flesh in the field filled with hot anger and hostility.
No one can shout
No one can protest….
Silent astonishment and fear bound the elves.
“Chief….”
Ardena, who was confronting the 2nd new director, Corte dos Liberia, shuddered with her eyes wide open.
It is impossible.
That would be too… ,
As soon as Corte dos Liberia inherited the name of the head of the priesthood, she died a few months later with her mysterious death.
Ardena, who was the one who confirmed the death of her second high priest with her own two eyes, could not bear to acknowledge the existence of Corte, who had returned alive and well.
“Chief… What?”
Callen, who surrounded the area while commanding the spirit forces, asked Ardena.
As if trying to ascertain the identity of the assailant,
Among the elves gathered at the scene, she was the only one who did not know of the existence of the second high priest, so she asked Ardena.
“Yes that’s right….”
Ardena replied to that.
I tried hard to deny it,
The elf woman confronting her right in front of her must have been Corte dos Liberia.
It was clear that there was no lie or deceit. He was undoubtedly himself.
Always pushing away and ostracizing people approaching… Confining herself to the wall of loneliness, the appearance of overpowering with cold charisma remained as it was.
“Chief.”
Ardena muttered.
To that, Corté nodded her head.
“I heard the news of the sanctuary. To the first priest who lived on the life force of the World Tree… , He gave eternal rest.”
“… That’s right.”
Recalling stabbing the first priest’s heart instead of stabbing her master, Ardena honestly nodded her head at Corte’s question.
How he rose from the dead,
Why did you appear before her eyes?
You should ask them first….
Ardena answered her question first, perhaps because the memory of her serving her in the past came to mind.
“Why do my compatriots… , Did you kill him mercilessly….”
Corté, who had committed the terrible act of killing more than 10 of his compatriots with a whip, was asked what he was doing.
Corte replied to him.
“Compatriots? Fellow countrymen…. It was like that in the past. Maybe it was.”
Corté muttered in a remorseful voice and raised his head as he began to sneer.
A shadow rose upward.
Intangible objects as black as jet-black were explosively emitted, as if water were shot upward against gravity by water pressure and power.
Different from before….
It was a new power that had different properties from the shadows that had been emitted so far.
“Ardena warrior commander! Stop that power right now!!”
Callen shouted loudly.
The cry of a Dark Elf woman stained with desperation,
Ardena also instinctively felt fear from the aura emanating from Corte’s body, so she was thinking that it must be stopped as well.
‘Reversing all enemy attacks… Right now, it’s still only at the level of reversing the attack, but somehow!!’
Ardena stared straight ahead, holding the hilt of her sword with both her hands.
Celestial spirit.
Returns an enemy’s attack and catches them off guard at once.
I didn’t dare to imitate Master’s perfect sword technique, but I put all my strength and talents, as well as Master’s authority, into the sword so that I could somehow imitate it and create a sword box of the same level as possible.
Aaaaa!!!
The flash of jinnok swept away in one move,
The blade that used El Cid’s sword skill cut off all hostility and killing attacks directed at the allies.
‘This energy… The other day when I fought Savnak… , It must be the authority of the Demon King… !!’
The authority that Corte radiated is explosion,
It was the authority of the six demon lords, originating from the power of demon gods that had the same nature as the heatwave that was Sabnak’s authority.
“How can the priest….”
It’s like I can’t believe it.
Like you never want to believe.
Ardena looked at the priest who was dyed in pitch black with trembling eyes.
Shaking her head, she tried to deny it, but her hands on the hilt of her sword were reminiscing about the bloody battle with Savnak that cost her life.
This is the authority of the Demon King.
Deserved to die,
The power wielded by the king of ten thousand demons who should all disappear from this world.
“What happened?”
As if Ardena was seeking her answer, as if asking for her truth, she threw her question to Corte.
