Chapter 315 – 315. The Door of Severance (3)
=============================
The battle between Ardena Valencia and Corte dos Liberia was a close second.
Explosives that take lives,
The life force of the world tree that restores life.
The two forces, standing at stark contrasting points, continued by repeatedly canceling and overpowering, but in the end, neither side was able to come to a conclusion.
“Ardena!”
Corte shouted, holding a whip from which power flowed as thick as pitch black.
There are multiple paths in front of you,
He radiated his passion toward the high elf warrior chief who never strayed from the path.
‘Even if it is surrounded by the life force of the World Tree… It would not be free from the fear of death. Even so, I never thought I’d face the power of an explosion without any fear.’
Unwavering determined eyes.
Corte met Ardena’s elegantly shining emerald eyes, and as if he had seen a magic mirror reflecting her hated opponent, hot anger fell on his cold, expressionless face.
“Stand back, Bariteon.”
Bariteon holding the spear of frost took a step and tried to approach him.
A jet-black shadow rose up and blocked the way.
Poison that takes the life of an opponent.
It was a ruthless and ruthless power like a rose with sharp thorns that no one could approach or touch.
As if to prove it, Ardena, who seemed like she wouldn’t be defeated by the power of the bomb, was shaken for a moment. It seemed that the excessive use of El Cid’s secret sword and the life force of the World Tree for a long time had come back as a considerable burden like a boomerang.
‘A sword that is not arranged and a power that is not established will inevitably become a burden that eats away at the body. Even more so, it is impossible for even Ardenia or Valencia to continue to withstand the two mighty forces of El Cid and the World Tree.’
With both her hands on the hilt of her sword,
A blonde high elf who stood firm as if she would never step out of the way.
Seeing him in her, Corté bit her lip and glared at her, armed with her unchanging nobility.
Is she really going to fight to the death?
I must also be weighing the disadvantages.
Even though she sensed her death, she only looked foolish as she never backed down.
“I will kill you.”
Corté announces her end,
As he vigorously stretched out his arm, the whip tinged with black air flow flew in a straight line.
An attack that concentrated all the torrents on one point,
Ardena, who had blocked the rushing blow of her sharp spearhead from the front, was pushed back with her painful moan.
“Kuk!”
The life force of her World Tree radiated to the point where she felt terrible pain all over her body, counteracting her explosive power.
If you don’t react immediately,
She must have been swallowed up by the power of the explosion and lost her life.
Ardena, who had a silver-haired little girl behind her, endured with great endurance even though her legs were shaking dangerously as if she could never fall down.
“You who have fulfilled your duty for 300 years, to risk your life just to protect that counterfeit…. It’s funny.”
Seeing Ardena raise her legs again despite her considerable effort, Corte sent her a cold sneer.
That imitation,
Are you willing to sacrifice your life for an idiot who still cares about his fellow countrymen even though his entire life has been denied by lies and deceit? .
It was foolish indeed.
It was too foolish for an invincible female knight, Ardena Valencia, to make a choice herself.
“You… It really hasn’t changed from before.”
The black whip flew in an oval shape.
Not ardena
It was a cunning attack she directed at her prized object.
Lianna, who was escorting her young God-Chief, swung her sword and counterattacked her flying whip. But her whip pierced Liana’s side as it burrowed under her like a slick snake, then grazed her deeply on Ilayna’s shoulder.
“Corte!!!”
With the injured Liana,
Seeing the fatally injured Ileina, Ardena shouted loudly as if screaming.
The whip did not have the power of an explosion.
Before striking the cunning blow,
It was because Ardena’s power of explosion was temporarily cut off by her sword strike.
“You really care about mere imitations.”
Seeing Ardena’s blatantly furious reaction, Corte murmured.
Emerald eyes full of fury,
Lips quiver as if they were going to shout at any moment.
The quivering cheeks and the cleavage between the brows showed that the high elf knight was very enraged.
“You who betrayed your compatriots and even killed them in the end, don’t dare speak out nonsense!!”
Having experienced Ardena’s hostility stemming from her hatred, Corte turned her head away with a cold expression on her face.
Did you not intend to attack immediately?
She let out a deep sigh as she lowered the hilt of her whip.
“…… !”
Corte, taking a step forward, suddenly let out a drool.
And lifted her head,
I started staring somewhere.
The energy that had been violently striking the eastern region disappeared in an instant. Power of tyranny. Crushing and destroying everything… , The symbol of destruction disappeared in the blink of an eye like a candle in the wind.
‘The signs of tyranny that continued to collide with the mighty power presumed to be the demon king killer have disappeared…. Could it be that tyranny, did the dope siblings finally lose?’
Assuming the worst, Corte frowned and felt uneasy.
I predicted the victory of the Demon King Slayer….
I didn’t expect that the Dope siblings would collapse so quickly.
At the very least, the victory or defeat should have been decided after he had obtained the key to the backyard where the priests were, or after he had finished off Ardena and Valencia.
“…….”
Ardena, who struggled to raise her body, and Corté, who met her gaze, turned her head away with her mouth twisted.
A thunderbolt is approaching.
Corte had already experienced the presence of lightning moving towards him.
Whether the demon king of tyranny had really been defeated, now was not the time to talk about it casually. Because if he doesn’t step back immediately, lightning will fall on his head as it did last time.
“Whatever she wanted, she put it in her hands.”
Retrieving her long-stretched whip, Corté frowned as she recalled her thunderbolts that had fallen with the sound of thunder.
Being struck by lightning again is a specification.
The Demon King of Explosives, who knew the tenacity of the black lightning that fiercely pursued him as if he would chase him to the end of the world, “Achieved his goal.” With a short murmur, he quickly decided to withdraw.
* * *
Ilayna wounded her shoulder with her flying whip, but despite her bloodied appearance, she was not severely injured.
Fortunately, her bones were unharmed.
Ardena, who confirmed her young priest’s injuries, let out a sigh of relief at Baritheon’s explanation that she would be all right if first aid was given promptly.
“Thank you, Commander Liana. If you hadn’t stopped them from the front, the priest would have been seriously injured.”
“It’s okay…. It’s something I have to do.”
With a relieved expression,
Liana looked startled at the appearance of Ardena, who began to see tears in her eyes.
It was such a surprise that even her terrible pain was forgotten for a moment.
To the extent that she inadvertently shed tears, Liana felt that her heart was crushed by her deep emotion at the fact that Dae-senpai was worried about me.
“Ardena!”
By the time Liana’s emergency treatment was over,
A man appeared as he pushed through a pile of buildings that were half destroyed in the fierce battle between Ardena and Corte.
It was the demon lord slayer, Yushin Gilead.
As before, he turned into a shadow and chased after Corté, who fled the scene, but in the same way, as if not to catch her off guard, Corté transformed into a shadow and hid in her basement, eliminating her presence.
Because of that, Yushin failed to pursue Corte.
“The West has come to catch my wife who has run away.”
Bariteon said with a big smile.
“… Didn’t the demon king of explosions come?”
After glancing at the head of the priest lying on the sofa with a bandage on and the warrior commander standing next to him, Yushin asked Ardena.
At that, Ardena nodded her head.
“It seems that Corte dos Liberia has been following us all along. As if she was aiming… , As soon as she came to this villa, she has been raiding.”
“It will never be a coincidence. It is highly likely that Allen and I were aiming for the moment when we were caught in the Aquitaine Mountains while dealing with the tyrannical demon king. Perhaps the two demon lords have formed an alliance.”
Following the Demon King of Explosions,
Even the demon king of tyranny appeared.
At Yushin’s words, the elven warrior chiefs drool as the six Demon Lords began to move in earnest.
After Reina, the new director, was disgraced from her position in disgrace, a series of incidents were taking place as if she had been targeted. The country of the elves, who had united with the Holy Empire to keep the Demon King’s army in check, was being shaken.
“Demon King of Tyranny…. How did it go?”
Ardena asked.
The one who answered her question was a blue-haired female knight who pounded her butt on top of the rubble with a thud.
“Ah… ! Bones and my brothers are buried in a pit because I and my brother. “
“A bone?”
At Allen’s explanation, Ardena asked back as if it was difficult to understand.
She couldn’t understand.
If you haven’t seen it in person, you’ll never believe it.
It is hard to believe that the two siblings share the status of the demon king, but how can you believe that the older brother was an undead who died long ago? It took a long explanation to make the other person believe it.
“Looks like you have a lot of injuries.”
Seeing Il Reina lying on the sofa as if she had passed out, Yushin opened her mouth.
Cold sweat flowing down.
Hair drenched in sweat.
His condition was not good, as if he had to be taken to the hospital right away. Unlike Liana, who was accustomed to the pain of her injury, Ileina was a girl who grew up in a greenhouse, so she was in danger.
“After first aid, I injected her life force to heal her injuries. But she wondered if her body was very surprised by the sudden injury… You can’t open her eyes.”
The high elf warrior chief, who had slipped her sweaty bangs behind her while gently running his fingers through her sweaty bangs, said her worried voice.
If I stopped her,
If only she could subdue the 2nd new director who betrayed and killed her compatriots at once… A tragedy like this would never have happened.
She felt guilty that she had injured the young priest because she had failed to stop her corte.
“It will be fine.”
Seeing Ardena muttering in a voice mixed with crying, Yushin stroked her trembling shoulder.
As Ardena was embraced in her arms,
She leaned her head slowly on his shoulder.
“Why? If you’re lonely, can you lend me my arms?”
“Shut up before the bamboo shoots crush it.”
Bariteon, who happened to meet Allen’s gaze, playfully opened her arms and asked.
Allen responded with sincerity.
“Ssssscha.”
When Yushin and Allen reunite with Ardena,
A blonde high elf girl, who arrived safely thanks to Allen, appeared as she slid down the wreckage of the building.
It was Alone.
Alone met her sister’s eyes and smiled with her delight as she hurriedly approached.
“Unnie, I’m glad you’re really safe! I really thought you had left her house!”
“… Alone.”
Ardena smiled wryly as her sister cradled her in her arms and bowed her head.
Although there were circumstances,
Her beloved disappeared without a word to her family.
Alone and Yushin. Ardena let out a sigh of relief at the fact that she was reunited with the two people she loved.
“Ardena.”
Valencian sisters holding each other in their arms.
When they share the joy of reunion….
Yushin called.
Ardena also nodded her head, as if she had an intuition.
“The elves are all around.”
“These are the pursuers dispatched from the Yetzirah Council.”
As long as they had a fierce battle with the Demon King of Explosives, of course, their location had to be discovered.
Parliamentary troops are besieging it.
It was impossible to forcefully move as Ileina passed out due to her injuries.
In response, Yushin looked at Ardena as if seeking her answer, whether to destroy all the elves surrounding him and flee the scene.
