Chapter 152 – 34. Underground of the Holy Kingdom. (3)
There was such a thing as a black tombstone that overwhelms the crowd just by its presence.
The foul smell of sulfur creeping into my nose told me that a demon was sealed right there.
Allen snapped his fingers and signaled to the men. Then, the mercenaries immediately take up formation. The Holy Knights also built a wall in two rows, leaving the wizards of the Holy Kingdom in the back row.
“Advance.”
The group approached the tombstone very carefully. Then, the pattern on the huge tombstone started blinking slowly. As if reacting to their presence. … No, he already knows they’re here.
There were also six hexagonal shafts around the tombstone, three of which were completely broken. Two of the other three are still intact, but one looks like it’s slowly breaking down.
Their mission is to cleanly restore that broken shaft.
As they approached the shaft, a tremendous energy crashed into them. At the same time, those not protected by holy water began to rot or decay.
ㅡ!
Allen was quite surprised to see his leather shoes rotting and twisting and turning to dust. Even though it’s sealed, I never thought it would be this powerful.
However, the protection of the holy water also has limits. Just looking at it, it didn’t seem like it would take a long time.
“Elena!”
He called the most important person in this mission. This is a mission that is virtually impossible to solve unless the person who opened the door. …… No, strictly speaking, it couldn’t be considered a solution. Because this is just forcibly extending a seal that has already been broken.
No object in this world could perfectly withstand the devil’s energy. Even if it is a branch of the world tree.
Elena moved closer to the shaft with a sack full of marbles. And as I poured them onto the floor, the tombstone began to resonate.
Before taking a deep breath, she hurriedly broke the evil energy that was being drawn to the tombstone. To be precise, using her own mana to block the flow of her tombstone.
Oops… !
It wasn’t usually easy. If you don’t have tremendous control over mana, you can’t even dare to do it.
The problem is that the moment black mana is injected into an axis embedded somewhere in the multidimensional space to restore it, the door to hell or the door to the spirit world is unintentionally opened.
The mercenaries and the Holy Knights had to protect the wizard by killing the uninvited bastards who came through the open door.
If you do something wrong, a second Ampere incident may occur, so you should be especially vigilant.
The air soon began to stir. The hot heat and the thicker smell of sulfur spread slowly.
It’s hell… !
“Elena, don’t mind you, just focus on the axis!”
Allen exclaimed to Elena, who might be distracted.
Soon the soles of her feet were hot. And the ever-changing surroundings.
It was a dimensional assimilation phenomenon. In the past, when the door to the spirit world opened in the small city of Amper, the surroundings turned into the spirit world. …… That means, the gates of hell have opened. Ethan wanted so much.
Soon, the monster’s arms began to slowly emerge from the air. Of course, Allen wasn’t the good villain in the comics who waited until his transformation was complete.
“Just right, Jojo!”
An arm that falls off with a concentrated attack. And this time, a terrifying head popped out.
– Phaaaaa.
When he opened his mouth, numerous bugs poured out. The head was quickly cut off, but the ugly bugs that poured everywhere continued to harass the group. Fortunately, the magician of the holy kingdom shot mana bullets to remove a large amount of bugs, but it was still insignificant compared to the whole.
“What a fucking dog!”
The space was torn again as I brushed off, hit, and stepped on the bugs clinging to my body.
This time, a bunch of tentacles came out. In an instant, it flew aiming for the sucker. They know she can’t close the gates of hell without her.
Of course, Allen is just watching it. As he called Natasha’s name, she rushed from the gum inspector to her sucking magistrate in one breath, snapping off all her tentacles rushing at her. His speedy swordsmanship was admirable even to Allen, who had nothing to do with martial arts.
As Natasha watched over Elena, the others ripped off the roots of the bundles of tentacles. …… The problem is that the tentacles keep coming out even if they are cut off.
The Holy Knights were also very busy catching the demon beasts that burst out of space. As time passed, the dimension assimilation became more severe, and the number of monsters coming out to the continent increased more and more. It’s still manageable, but… , If the time delay is too long, it will be quite dangerous.
Allen had previously instructed Elena to cut her off in the middle if she felt it was taking too long. While trying to restore the axis, there could be a handshake that does not close the gates of hell. … At least you should avoid the situation of burning all thatch to catch bedbugs.
Of course, Elena was doing her best to control her mana. Aside from the gradual restoration of the sealing axis, the devil’s energy relentlessly aimed at the Poutong Master.
The noise of her reality hummed and receded, her demon hallucinations and her hallucinations began to haunt her. …… She was already in hell.
A terrifying scream, and that terrifying sight that shimmers in front of your eyes!
It felt like she was standing alone in the middle of hell. She only looked at the shaft, but she could feel the demon glaring at her.
Ah.
It feels like licking your skin with a sticky tongue. Her hair stood on point, and her muscles stiffened.
Almost half-forcibly dragged into the world of images, she began to have more and more difficulty controlling her mana. Even if her mind was distracted for a moment, demon beasts would attack her from all sides and tear her tender body to pieces.
Elena persevered with one conviction that she must never be shaken. If she collapses here, she and all of her will be in danger.
…… At least as much as Lord Allen, she had to keep it.
However, apart from her will, her body has already reached its limit.
From all sides of her, evil auras of corruption gradually tightened her body. She is holding on somehow with her holy power, but her skin is starting to crack and tear.
Eup!
It would be dangerous to wait any longer, but almost all of the axes were restored. It’s too bad a situation to go back like this.
Please, please, just a little more…… !
And just as her skin began to rot, a brilliant light suddenly emanated from far away, dispelling the evil energy that enveloped Elena’s body.
It was Shetlan, a lady who rode a sacred animal. That white light drove away the darkness and approached Elena.
“You fool. What if you don’t value your body! It could have been really dangerous!”
“…… Mr. Shetlan!”
“Get out quickly!”
“Still, the axis… !”
“Then do it quickly. I won’t last long in hell either.”
Shetlan blew into the palm of his hand. Then the glittering powder was scattered in all directions. Numerous spirits blocked the evil energy that was strongly oppressing them.
Fortunately, it was enough to last until the axis was completely restored. Elena, who had finally completed her mission, tried to express her gratitude, but she could not afford it.
“Get out!”
At the same time as she screamed, Elena escaped the world of images and returned to reality.
She broke her orb with the prepared hammer and blocked the dark mana flowing through the shaft. Then the gates of hell slowly begin to close.
As Hell, which had been expanding its territory, began to slowly shrink again, the monsters of Hell began to rage. Elena got up to help her men, but she almost collapsed from severe dizziness. Her Allen Danju quickly caught her and supported her.
“Good work, Elena. I knew you could do it! Get some rest now.”
…… No, my lord. If it wasn’t for him, he’d be in big trouble. I didn’t do well…….
Elena got the word all the way up her throat, but she swallowed it before she could spit it out.
Fortunately, the sealing axis was safely restored, and the gate to hell was completely closed. The monsters that came up from hell were also cleaned up by the mercenaries and the Holy Knights.
Of course, it wasn’t without damage. The new Cory’s right arm below the elbow and part of his right leg were amputated, the old dog Kalisman also suffered serious injuries with his left side torn off, and the trainee Victor’s jaw was completely ripped off by tentacles.
The Holy Knights, in particular, suffered greater damage. It’s because he lacks actual combat experience compared to the Allen-Mercenary Corps, which has gone through countless missions. There were injuries as well as deaths.
“Ahhh!”
One of them, a female knight, screamed as she clutched at her stomach, which was beginning to swell.
“Sal, save me, save me~~!! How do you do this?
Around her lying down and glowing, the knights panicked, not knowing what to do. Allen hurriedly took her Natasha and ran to her.
“Put your clothes on! Everyone grab your limbs! Hold on tight! Teeth! Let the snout bite the clothes! My teeth are all gone!”
Her whole body was covered with sweat, her limbs were caught, and she gasped and looked at her own swollen belly.
“Natasha, only cut the outside. Carefully.”
Natasha began slowly slicing her stomach with her holy water-soaked sword. Then her exciter’s madness intensified.
“Hold on tight you bastards!”
At the same time as Allen’s scream, the ship gradually splits. And from there, a terrible monstrous creature came out. Vice-captain Quintus immediately snatched it and threw it away, and several paladins ran up to it and crushed it to death.
She fainted as she lived here, and the healer of the Holy Knights quickly restored her broken stomach.
Whoops, whoops, whoops.
The basement, which became a mess, was filled with people’s rough breathing.
