Chapter 743 – The Moon Rises (9)
***
Whoa… !!
The armored giant collided with the dragon in the sky.
It looked like a dragon was chasing the colossus, who moved swiftly like an acrobat. Pharaoh Shedmenhotep admired it without even wiping his rain-soaked face.
“It’s definitely a great thing. However, since that was loaded onto Atlantis, the treaty not to arm the island for war must be overshadowed.”
The Azteca expedition was not an act of aggression according to the treaty, so it wouldn’t be a big problem, but wouldn’t it be a weapon that would fall under ‘minimum self-defense’?
However, it is certain that it is a fairly strong force in this situation.
Puong…
Shedmenhotep sensed the flames exploding far above. His magic item gave a signal instead of him who was hectic fighting an Aztecan warrior among the militia.
“Already?”
Burning the enemies with the light attribute magic that saved the lineage of the sun god, he looked at the battle situation, but he did not see the huge rain god falling from the sky.
Nord’s words crossed my mind.
-I’ll drop that lizard to the ground like a meteorite.
– Speaking of dinosaurs’ weakness, it’s Meteor Swarm. Well, but to do that, we need to make sure that little snake doesn’t bring night or dawn when it falls.
—… It’s the Pharaoh’s
-Does His Majesty’s treasure house contain ‘the relic’?
It was a sane or questionable operation, but I thought the possibility was high.
No, it’s more correct to say that he couldn’t suggest any other method other than that.
Anyway, since the monster was lifted up to the sky, the plan to adjust the fall point with
Even if you get strength from the earth, if you get hit, death is unavoidable.
It’s just that, looking at the situation, it didn’t seem to be going so well.
“You have to do things you don’t want to do. As long as you live.”
Shed Menhotep shrugged his shoulders. It’s unfortunate that things got twisted, but this level of happening was somehow familiar to the pharaoh who ruled a powerful country.
《Istetil!》
【Yes, I saw!!】
When he called, Istetil, who was slaughtering enemies with her arm wrapped in an aura, answered.
The half-human, half-dragons of Azteca, unaware of fear, rushed even though they were terribly killed when they approached. Joy and madness gleamed in their eyes.
【The holy war has begun!! Mother is watching!!]
【Don’t be afraid of death!! The warrior’s soul goes to the mother’s arms!!]
【Ku, ugh!!】
Compared to the warriors of Azteca, whose morale was boosted, the fighting spirit of the rebels, composed of resistance forces, was as insignificant as if they were rolling on a muddy ground from rain and wind.
Even with their own strength, they were no match, but the majesty of God was enough to make humans afraid. Even those who were prepared for death couldn’t help but tremble at the evil dragon that covered the sky.
Although the golems and Valkyries commanded by Shedmenhotep are fighting hard inside and out, the battle at the gate here was inferior to our own.
Someone in the resistance saw Tonashillucatl burning the plains.
Unlike this place where it rained at night, the world where the dragon roared seemed like a completely different country of gods. Even though their religious beliefs were different, their thoughts of powerlessness were the same.
【… Wouldn’t it be better to beat those kids? What should we do after winning?]
【It’s a fight to the death! Prepared pants!]
【Fuck, I didn’t mean to die like a dog.】
Window into position. It stabs the weapon, and is blocked by scales.
A colleague pokes that gap, and a strange rock monster called a golem crushes the enemy who stopped it. Procedures like work. It was a formation that worked well for the army of Azteca, which did not go through a proper war.
However, the soldiers who maintained the formation showed fatigue and fear that could not be hidden.
Shedmenhotep doesn’t know what they are saying, even though he wants to comfort them. I didn’t know their history, and I didn’t know their heart. Aren’t there any resemblances from birth to status?
He did not know the words that would touch their heartstrings.
【Are you scared!! Blessed bastards who have good parents!!]
But Istetil knew. Bleeding from wounds inflicted by warriors of her own blood, she begged her formation to leave.
【That’s a stomach-churning thing! We had the monster over there as our stepmother, and even you guys rejected us saying we were afraid! I envy those who have homes to return to because they are carefree!]
An Aztecan soldier brandished a claw at the resistance, who were distracted by Istetil’s roar.
Chaeyoung—!! The hurriedly blocked spear broke, and the rain and blood-soaked warrior aimed at his fallen heart. With his eyes tightly closed, he knew only that the sound of his flesh piercing came from himself.
【Grumble… !】
But when he opened his eyes to an unfamiliar groan, what he saw was a half-human, half-dragon warrior who pierced the soldier’s belly while protecting himself. Red blood spattered down his cheeks.
The Skola Kice warrior fell over, grabbing his arm, which might have been broken or cut. Another soldier pounced. The resistance soldier unknowingly threw the broken spear.
─Pu-wook!
A spear was stuck in his neck, unable to be wrapped in scales, and other resistance fighters finished him off.
The dumbfounded soldier looked back at Skolakiche who had protected him.
【Thank you for your help… 】
The horse stopped. The scaly warrior had stopped breathing.
【People from the outer continent call our hometown the land of savages!! While enjoying the land and culture inherited from mother and father, we arrogantly call this land where we shed blood!!]
The soldier found a carefully crafted bracelet on Skolakiche’s wrist. The same object was also hanging on his wrist, so he couldn’t help but notice.
A woman’s hair praying for her husband’s safe return. It was a tradition of this continent.
【Don’t be right! Only idiots like us and you can only be called savages! I have no choice but to be called a man-eater!
I’m disgusted with all of that! Is this the life I chose?! Was this the life we wanted?! No, we never picked a moment on our own!!]
Istetil, who was shouting, pointed to the brightly shining realm of the divine dragon.
【Look, motherfuckers! Look! Let’s see what we have to do!! We were the ones who lived according to the will of that god, along with the crazy bastards who served that bitch, and the nuns!
The idiots of this land have never chosen their parents, hometown, or future! Even fighting right now is an idiot who was seduced by bastards from outside and followed them!]
Seeing the fallen Skolakiche, blood poured out on his back, and the resistance soldier turned around again. The cannibals, who were much stronger than him, were invariably packed into the fort.
【Then what will you do? Will you serve the children who helped us as gods this time, without even knowing it? Oh, pure god! You are the true sun god! Are you going to sacrifice your family?!
【Don’t bullshit, fuck!】
Someone shouted. Maybe it was because he shouted and was unaware, but it was the same thing anyway. Because it was exactly what he wanted to say.
Istetil shouted after pushing the enemy away by emitting an aura.
【They look like humans! Those who want to die with the arms and legs of a god look human! You guys and your family wanted to be that way, so did you put a lot of effort into this fight!!]
【Not even a favor!! We came to get freedom!! I came to get my life back!!]
【Is that the essence of our Maxima!! Or is it the monster that polluted this land!!]
【It’s a monster!! It’s a monster that needs to be defeated!!]
I lived a life in which friends I played with in the same city since I was born disappear the next day. Someone who first noticed that it was strange saw it being sacrificed.
So, with bated breath, those idiots who had the same thoughts as them and wanted to rebel against the empire of God gathered together. Until this very day, they had been gathered together like an asshole.
The arms and legs that had lost their will were energized.
Even if it’s not something legendary like a castle rising from the sky, what is it? I didn’t want to become an idiot who lived only sucking my fingers and then got saved and laughed at it.
Justice? It didn’t matter.
National self-determination? Have you ever thought
At least the rocks or the strangely pretty winged warriors fighting together weren’t invaders, and they weren’t cubs that would eat the hearts of sons and daughters out of hunger.
Wouldn’t that still be enough?
If you shove meat first into a hungry stomach, your stomach will get twisted and you will die.
Istetil grabbed Shedmenhotep by the shoulder.
【Gather, idiots!! Let’s end the age of savagery!!]
【Maksika! Makssika! U! Onkisalistli ualas kenih in iluitl uala!】
—Maxica, Maxica! If the day is bright, good luck will come!
The resistance fighters grabbed the nearest golems as they all sang and sang. Istetil, hoarse, listed the words that had been implanted in his brain.
“Pharaoh. Mana. Number of soldiers. Is it enough?”
“There are 8,000 weak warriors. To be honest, I’m a bit unsure.”
There should have been a little more at first, but during this brief battle many died as their morale plummeted. However, Pharaoh twisted the corner of his mouth proudly.
“But, brave and proud residents!! Guess you’re lucky!! The remaining number of golems brought by this body is currently about 2,500!!》
Shedmenhotep laughed and took out a golden cross.
“Combined with you, it’s just about 10,000!!”
An artifact that symbolizes the authority of the pharaoh. The Cross of the Sun dazzlingly inhaled mana even in the territory of Wooshin, where dawn and night were mixed.
【Ken mitskateh, ikniuh iuikpa in okse ueyaltepetl! Mitskateh pakini! (How are you, friends from across the city! Are you happy today too!)]
【Niltse, ketsaltitla kuanotstli! Makuali ualakan! Mitschiua xitlaneki itlah nik tlacua? (Hello, beautiful guest! Welcome! Can I get you something to eat?)】
【Tlakui mokauiuh! Xitlapia se yokox kayoiluitl! (Please stay leisurely! Have a peaceful day!)】
He put his hand on the golem’s power furnace and blew mana into it.
I didn’t know how to use it, but it was good. A special order item from Dunamis Workshop, which refined the technology extracted from Huldpolk’s Scepter. The ability to store mana is a universal ability in another world.
Shuwaaaaa—!!
The will of 10,000 people gathered in one place, gathered by the side of the pharaoh who controls the consensus of all golems. It is excessive output for the human body, but there is nothing to worry about.
If the enemy is a half-breed of a dragon, he is the son of the sun god.
The vessel of the soul to withstand mana is incomparable.
《Son of the sun god, one who shines like Ra (Xa.F ra), this Shedmenhotep commands in the name of Horus! The night that deceives the eyes of God, be gone!!”
The cross of the sun that absorbed mana fired golden sparks into the sky. The light flashed and soared as intensely as the Nord had once seen it in his vision.
─Flash!!
And clearing away the night brought on by the god of rain, he pierced a wide hole through which the sun’s light shone through the darkness of the two-parted sky.
So that the light shines even to the heavenly castle trampled by the earth and the rain god of night.
“Hey Nord. The night went on as you wished. Kill the earth and the god of night.”
Shed Menhotep didn’t show his burnt arm due to excessive use of mana and put the cross of the sun back into the treasure house.
《However… What is that evil dragon who dares to pretend to be the sun god?”
The evil dragon that confronted the giant was unscathed.
The artifact that will end the night of Wooshin was used by Shedmenhotep himself, according to the will of the foolish pharaoh who sought this land in the past.
But even he didn’t have a way to end the day and call the night.
Maybe there are other relics like that? An artifact comparable to the Sun’s Cross?
Atlantis. A giant in armor. From the castle in the sky to that winged knight.
Isn’t it hard to think that even after taking out all sorts of artifacts and weapons comparable to the military power of a great power, there would still be enough power left?
Shed Menhotep, who had such concerns, strengthened his eyesight with a magic that focused light into his eyes, and soon he noticed someone’s back and burst out laughing.
“Is that so? Nord Wolfheddin, a man with great skills in manipulating people.”
Is it not enough to be the king of a country, the half-human, half-god pharaoh, and even take advantage of other heroes?
But if it were anyone else, then he deserved a suitable relic. Most of the expensive magic items in the world go through the adventurer’s guild.
The gaze of the pharaoh smiling calmly.
In a corner of it, I could see a small back galloping towards the evil dragon.
