Chapter 320 – 75. Sky Ray. (8)
The number of demonic beasts that kept pouring down was far greater than expected. Each one of them was powerful, and even flew to the sky, making it difficult to deal with.
The Duke of Belver joined forces with the knights and the garrison to fight them as much as possible, but it wasn’t as easy as he thought.
Then, the powerful mana beam of the sky ray pierced the castle wall!
ㅡㅡㅡㅡ!!!!
The defense shield wrapped in hundreds of layers became almost useless in the third mana beam. One side of the wall also collapsed, and manabim began to reach the inside of the city.
… And after a while, the fourth manabeam hit the city!
It shattered the thinly replenished defenses as lightly as an eggshell, splitting the city and parts of the inner walls.
ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ!!!!!!
Duke Bellver, who had the dizzying experience of the ground right next to him splitting open with manabi, felt a chill in his back.
It was clear that no matter how strong a person could fly and crawl, if they were hit by that thing, they would not be able to pull out even a bone. The mana beam of the monster floating in the sky is an overwhelming attack.
Fortunately, there was a considerable delay between each attack, as if it was not possible to fire mana beams relentlessly unlike concerns.
Even so, each room is literally close to a disaster.
“Majesty! Inside, you have to go to the underground shelter! You must preserve the jade body!”
The captain of the knights strongly insisted on the evacuation of His Highness, as if he thought it was dangerous at this rate.
The Duke of Belver, too, was determined to be stubborn no longer, so he headed for the palace’s underground shelter accompanied by a few escorts.
The palace has already been invaded by demons. They graciously found those who hid here and there, pulled them out, and devoured them voraciously.
The duke felt dizzy from the blood and flesh strewn across his corridors.
The Fall of the East… !
Allen’s words were true.
The duke felt at Vermandois that if they hadn’t come to their aid, the East might really have perished.
“Majesty! Hurry… !”
Cold-blooded Asmos approached the escort knights and the underground shelter. In front of the thick iron door, several monsters were stationed and struggling to break through it. He must have smelled a human hiding there.
The two knights with good skills joined forces with the duke to defeat the monsters, and then knocked on the iron door.
“Open the door! His Highness the Duke has arrived!”
– Are you really telling me?
“Inom! Can’t you open the door right away!”
The escort knight’s fierce shouts finally opened the locked door with a bang. Due to the Witchbeast continuing to hit the body, the device that fixed the iron pole was on the verge of being damaged.
“Your Highness!”
The duke’s personnel who had been evacuated shouted at the duke who appeared covered in the monster’s blood.
The duke, who glanced at them while panting, seemed to hate them to the extent of being trembling without a single drop of blood on them.
Elizabeth, her only daughter, risked her life to fight that terrifying monster in the sky, but why is her belly twisted so much when she sees the people who were well-to-do here just trying to preserve their ugly lives?
“Your Highness, are you okay?”
“Father! I’m really glad you’re okay… !”
They talk as if they are the most filial son and filial daughter in the world.
“Shut up everyone! It’s insane!”
Suck.
At the duke’s shrill cry, the whole family held their breath and kept their mouths shut.
Not long after the iron pole was hung on the iron door again, the Witchbeast came here again and started banging his body against the iron door. The escort knights pushed through the iron gate with all their bodies to block their attacks and somehow managed to hold on.
Uh huh
The members of the ducal family wept in fear when they saw it. The duke shouted not to cry.
“Don’t cry! Cry no matter what you did! From now on, I will drive all those who cry outside!”
So the Duke also leaned against the iron gate and pushed it with all his might. To not break through.
While struggling for a long time, the ceiling suddenly began to collapse with a tremendous vibration.
Ah!
It seems that Manabim eventually hit the palace with a direct hit.
The Duke was crushed by the collapsing ceiling with a shock that numbed all his senses.
Fortunately, he was still alive somehow, but his legs and parts of his arms were crushed by the stones and he was immobilized. In addition, the terrible pain that cut through the spine, crushing bones and flesh!
Turn it off!
“Sir Ethan… , Sir Boris… !”
He called the two escort knights, but only one answered.
– I, Your Highness, are you okay… ?
The answer was Sir Boris. … Perhaps Sir Ethan died or passed out after being crushed by a boulder.
“I’m fine… First… , Lived well…”
– No one! His Highness the Duke is here! Is there anyone? Aaaaa!!
“Stop. Done. Stop. … Who will be here Even if there is, how do you get rid of this?”
– Majesty!
“Shh. Okay. Wait. Wait…”
The Duke lay still and gasped for his breath.
Thankfully, I didn’t move, so the pain subsided.
… Is this how you die…
The duke closed his eyes. He opens and closes anyway, but it’s still dark.
Out of breath, he got a chance to look back on his life in this eerie silence.
What was left of him?
Ironically, what came to mind in him was envy towards Elizabeth.
His own daughter, who threw off all his restraints and left in search of freedom and love.
Everything fell into silence.
I never thought the place I ran to live would rather be a limb.
The duke burst into a light laugh and waited for death.
… Allen Danju. Please, on behalf of the foolish me, please protect the city…
· · ·
The sky ray, Purunnak, fell slowly downward.
It continued to wave the unbroken wing on the other side, but even Purunnakku could not fly with only one wing.
The stingray, huge like an island, slanted and hit the ground.
– It’s falling!
A huge amount of dust flew into the air with a deafening crash.
The sky ray stuck in the field to the east of the city was motionless for a moment, perhaps due to the impact of the fall.
Allen, who was watching it from the air, headed straight for the place where it fell.
Granzo Danju, who regained consciousness, revealed that he had used cold energy on Allen. He said he couldn’t sever the connection even with his fire magic…
Even the dropping of the sky ray went as planned, but the problem is that tremendous cold air rapidly spreading from its damaged right wing… !
Allen decided that since the sky ray had fallen down, it was the first thing to seal it again from this cold air. When the Frost Elemental takes its full form, it is like recreating the disaster of the past.
Suddenly, snow began to fall from the sky.
The snow, which seemed to fall occasionally even in winter, was now falling from the skies of Kartli.
“Syipal, what kind of eyes are you suddenly… ?”
The mercenaries, who did not yet know that they had used the sealed ice, misunderstood that it was the work of a fallen monster.
“It is cold. The one we dealt with in the North before. I had to use it due to unavoidable circumstances, and now I will seal it again.”
“Damn it.”
The mercenaries, still vividly remembering the terrible cold at that time, shivered for no reason. … The air has already become quite chilly.
As the flotsam approached the monster, a sizable snow storm began to blow. The area around the cold air is already starting to freeze.
“Hurry! Don’t be late even for an hour! Everyone move fast!”
As soon as the Vermandois landed on the monster’s back, the mercenaries jumped off the ship.
This time, the puppet master who was manipulating the floating boat was also together. I need her to reseal her cold.
The mercenaries who experienced this terrible cold for the first time seem to be in a flash of spirit. It wasn’t just cold, it was a cold wind that could freeze to death.
The mercenaries are also mercenaries, but the Witchbeasts also couldn’t come to their senses easily in the bitter cold.
Around that time, Purunnak, a sky ray stuck to the floor, seemed to have come to his senses and began to struggle strongly. The right wing also had a weak movement, as if the nerves were completely cut off, but it did not flutter as strongly as the left wing.
Allen split the group in two. One team is to deal with Purunnak’s Demonic Beasts, and the other is to seal the cold energy that is radiating energy again.
The Beast Team moved to face the Beast, and the Seal Team headed for the cold wing.
However, the cold air that had been dealt once fired her spirits fiercely at the sealing team that approached her as if she would not be easily defeated twice.
Moreover, she continued to struggle wildly until Purun Nakk, so it was not easy for the group to keep her center.
In addition, there is still the rough resistance of the demons trying to protect their offspring… It was a real disaster.
“Bitch… !”
Still, the sealing team somehow advanced to the place where the cold was stuck. This is the power of 10 rivers!
However, the cold has already taken shape to some extent. … It was likely that he would have to fight fiercely until he was sealed.
And just then, Purunnak suddenly bends his short neck as much as he can and turns his head towards his broken wing!
The guy opened his mouth and began to gather a lot of mana.
ㅡㅡㅡㅡ!!!!
“Everyone avoid it!”
The crew hurriedly threw themselves in the opposite direction.
And a powerful mana beam fired from the mouth!
ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Purunnak’s wings were torn off by Mana Beam. At the same time, the cold air was also swept away by the mana beam and bounced off somewhere.
“What the fuck!”
I’ve come all the way here, and this misfortune happens again!
It seems that the sky ray realized the fearsomeness of the cold air and decided that it was right to take it off even if it gave up its wings.
As soon as the sky ray removed the cold air, it began to crawl forward, shaking his body from side to side.
“Sweet Lord! What should I do!”
“… We take it from the cold! Granzo Danju! Let’s go!”
The worry didn’t last long. A sky ray that has lost its wings is not in the palm of your hand.
So, the sealing team ran with all their might to Vermandois again. And as soon as I got on the floating ship, I immediately flew to find cold air.
Fortunately, it wasn’t difficult to find the cold that had fallen from Purunnak again. A tremendous amount of cold air was emanating from it. The blind saintess who could see her aura found it at once and pointed her finger at it.
The cold has already almost regained its form.
“I’m starting the operation right away!”
As soon as they got off the floating ship, the mercenaries proceeded with the sealing operation.
While the sucker wizard and the attention attendant prepared the sealing magic, the fire ghost Granzo Danju poured powerful fire magic on the cold air. Of course, it had no noticeable effect, but it helped the sealing magic to proceed more smoothly.
“Magicians, stick together and infuse mana!”
The magicians belonging to Allen-Mercenary Corps, Granzo-Mercenary Corps, Viola-Mercenary Corps and Rick-Mercenary Corps all gathered near the sucker mage and the servant of interest, and infused mana into the magic circuit design.
In the meantime, the cold air fired at the spirits without hesitation to stop them. … Fortunately, it was not long after the cold air was released from the seal, so the energy was considerably weakened compared to usual.
Thanks to the dazzling efforts of the mercenaries to block the fire show and the spirits of Granjo Danju, the sealing magic was completed with ease.
The spirits that hovered around the cold air disappeared one by one as the energy was blocked, and eventually they succeeded in sealing the cold air again.
In fact, in case Allen might use the cold again, he had a sealed box with better performance than before.
ㅡㅡㅡㅡ!
As I chanted the last spell of magic, golden light spread all around and the ancient letters around the cold began to slowly compress.
“Mana! Keep supplying mana!”
Granzo Danju also shouted while helping with mana supply.
Several mages eventually collapsed with nosebleeds from mana exhaustion.
The cold resisted more vigorously than before.
However, even those who have already experienced sealing are more experienced than before.
In the end, the cold air was completely sealed, and it was hurriedly put into the sealing box.
When the lid of the box is closed, the cold air disappears like a lie.
The snow that had been falling from the sky had already stopped, but the snow piled up on the floor was proof that the cold had just been released.
“Cypal… , Finished…”
Due to the fierce battle with the demons and the spirits, the mercenaries, who were covered in wounds all over, sat down on the floor one by one.
His stamina was already exhausted, and even drinking potions did not recover much.
… However, sealing the cold did not end this war. It’s a quadruped to the last.
The real one was still alive and crawling somewhere.
Sky Ray, Purunnak.
He intermittently fired mana beams. It scratched the ground and inflicted severe wounds.
“Get on the float again! There is still one left!”
“… That stingray kid, I’ll kill you no matter what… !”
The 10th group got on the Vermandois again. The main master who had been performing the sealing magic, the sucker, looked very tired, but he still gritted his teeth and squeezed his strength.
The flotsam rose again and flew briskly towards Purunnak, who was still crawling like a worm.
… How can I kill that guy… ?
I dropped him, but all I could do was neutralize one of his wings with how cold it was.
The sky ray was still fluttering, and its size was so huge that magic did not work well. That said, it didn’t seem like a knife or an ax would work…
Anywhere else has no meaning. If you don’t blow the head with one blow… !
Then, a thought suddenly crossed my mind.
… And at the same time, he cursed himself for thinking that.
No. No. No. No. That’s not it
Allen sat down and cupped her head.
“Sweet Lord!”
“Oh, no. Okay. Are you okay. Never mind. Just for a moment, I have something to think about.”
Granzo Danzoo also seems bleak about how to kill this guy.
“Allen Danju. Is there any way?”
“… Originally, I tried to attack them in droves and kill them.”
However, as you can see, it doesn’t seem that easy.
Of course, I’m slow compared to the speed, but even so, the speed of the creep was also much faster than that of the horse. … Because of its very large size.
“So what?”
“You should be aiming for the head…”
“Is there any better way?”
But Allen declined to answer. There, she noticed at once that Grenzo Danju was not without a way, but that it was difficult to say.
“There is something… ! That’s fine! Speak! … If need be, even with my life! Anyway, it’s a life that died once before. If I can use it meaningfully, I hope so.”
Granzo Danju said without hesitation that he was willing to give his life.
… Seeing that, how can Allen Danju only satisfy my greed!
“… Yes, there seems to be a way, one.”
“Something. Tell me Because I’m fine.”
Allen, with a dying expression, barely opened his mouth.
“Be, Le Mandua Lake… , Hit him on the head…”
Ah.
Everyone who was listening to it was amazed.
“There is an enormous amount of magic orbs here. If you bump into it and explode it, no matter how bad it is, you won’t be able to stand it.”
“… Will you be okay?”
What Granzo Danzoo asked was not the effect of the method.
The question asked if it would be okay to sacrifice the Vermandois.
… But what can I do? No matter how bitter it is, this method is the most effective right now.
Allen laughed even in the pain of turning over from a stomach ache.
People who smile even in difficult times are first class. … Of course, I thought I was going to laugh.
“For this, haven’t you been running all along?”
That one word was enough.
Allen’s determination was conveyed to everyone.
It is a fact that everyone knows that the most heartbreaking thing than anyone else is the money ghost.
At the same time, they were genuinely moved by his boldness and magnanimity.
The decision to sacrifice the Vermandois would be impossible unless it was quite a resolution.
“Then… , Not so. I will obey your wishes.”
“I would too.”
“I will follow the will of the lord.”
Viola Danju and Rick Danju also decided to abide by Allen’s decision. After all, there is no clear way other than that.
They landed again on the back of the sky ray, and all but Allen, the sucker, and the seed of interest came down.
“Good luck.”
Allen rose into the air again, receiving the final greeting from Granzo Danju.
Granzo Danju hurriedly called the beast team in a loud voice to get them to step back from their heads as much as possible. To avoid being caught in an explosion.
Allen, who was with the Vermandois for the last time, closed his eyes while sweeping the precious floating boat he had been with for a long time.
… Farewell, my treasure…
And the moment he opened his eyes again, he returned to being a cold-hearted money ghost.
“Elena. Are you ready?”
“… All right.”
“Don’t be sad. When there is a meeting, there is also a parting. … The Vermandois will do its job and oxidize nicely.”
It’s something you say to yourself at the same time.
“Go at full power!”
“Yes, Danju!”
The flotation boat made a large circle and went round and round several times.
At that furious speed, the flotation nodded for the first time and let out a final roar.
“Sweet Lord!”
“… Park Ah-ra–!!”
And the three jumped off the float.
At the same time, the branches of the World Tree safely receive those who fall down.
The Vermandois, which flies at great speed,
It accurately hit the head of the stingray in the sky that was crawling.
And, a big explosion—.
ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The shock wave pushed back the mercenaries on their backs.
And the fierce struggle that follows immediately!
“Hold tight so it doesn’t bounce!”
The mercenaries held on to the vines and endured the harsh vibrations that rocked them up and down.
And the struggle slowly stopped, and the guy drooped.
A sky ray with half of its head blown off by a massive explosion.
No matter how much he was, half of his head was missing, and he had no chance to survive.
Arlen, who had safely descended from the branch of the World Tree, gasped for breath as he watched the creature’s end.
· · ·
… How long has it been
The Duke of Bellver, trapped underground and unable to move, repeated falling asleep and waking up from exhaustion several times.
His arms and legs, which had been crushed by the collapsed ceiling, were now numb. A duke who no longer has the power to speak. Sir Boris’ cries, which had called him from time to time, had now disappeared.
Death.
The Duke felt death vividly. And the fact that it is now lying side by side with you…
Death is like this.
The duke was a little worried about what would happen after he died.
Can foolish and ugly children really rule this city well?
Will it be possible for them, who have no crisis or experience to overcome it?
Just like the one faced by the capital, wouldn’t the eastern part face a crisis?
But those worries gradually faded.
… Yes, someone will A great man greater than me will appear and rule the city.
Oddly enough, he kept thinking of Allen Danju. … I wished that he, along with Elizabeth, would rule the city.
In any case, between the two of them, a wonderful child will be born who resembles father and mother, and he will bring prosperity to the East again.
Duke Belver closed his eyes again in the dark.
… Before I die, I wish I had one last cup of tea.
He longed for the time to have a cup of tea in the quiet dawn.
It was only now that I realized that the moment I thought was trivial was rather precious.
… Asmos woke up with a loud noise.
Something sounded outside.
He turned his head towards the sound.
After a while, something like a branch squeezed through a crack in the collapsed stone.
It safely wrapped the body of the Duke lying on the floor, and vigorously lifted the collapsed stone.
And soon a blinding light hits the Duke in the face.
Ugh
“Tea, I found it! His Highness the Duke is here!”
Ah.
The Duke of Belver was soon picked up carefully and brought outside, cradled by the branches of the World Tree.
There are countless people digging up the collapsed rubble,
Elizabeth, who is crying for good,
Allen Danju was there.
“Majesty!”
Allen ran to Duke Bellver, who was carefully embraced by the branches of the world tree.
The cold-blooded Asmos laughed strangely.
He asked in a hoarse voice.
“How much time has passed.”
“A day has passed.”
“… Right. Did you win?”
“… Yes.”
The Duke nodded his head in satisfaction.
“Allen, sobriety.”
“Don’t talk. Your body is a mess. You need to rest.”
But he didn’t stop.
“Allen… , Sobriety.”
“… Yes.”
“Me… , Why did you save it… ?”
Asking why he bothered to save himself, a thorn in the eye.
Without the Duke, it would be Allen’s world!
Then Allen smiled very lightly and gently placed her hand on the duke’s shoulder.
“You are comrades who fought together for the East.”
He closed his eyes again and nodded his head.
Kuhh
The cold-blooded laughed.
“Hehe, uh, uh uh, keuhuh, keuhuhuh.”
And the laughter stops.
“… Right. Comrade…”
“Please rest.”
“Okay…”
Asmos fell asleep.
