Chapter 344 – Breaking Away
Episode 344 – Breaking away
The saint’s words were accurate.
Less than 10 minutes after following the directions, we encountered the cause of this situation.
“Herscular.”
“It’s quite late.”
The guy’s face was quite calm.
Even though Cain almost killed him, he didn’t seem to have any ill feelings towards me, his disciple.
Some people are dying to crush their souls right now, but it’s disgusting.
“The undead are interfering so much. Rather, you are better than I thought? Are you okay with being hit by Master?”
“That’s not enough to break my immortality.”
“Is that so? Then I will destroy it.”
“You are impossible.”
“We’ll have to wait and see.”
No matter what provocation, Huscular’s expression does not change.
It was safe to say that the emotions had become stronger.
‘Is it because I became Acrich?’
Did he lose his emotions because he gave up on being human, or did he become an Acrich because he was that kind of human?
I didn’t know, but one thing was certain: he and I would never be able to coexist.
-I go first.
Faaah!
I didn’t bother to drag on the conversation and kicked the ground with a signal.
Using photonization, it becomes a beam of light and catches Huscular in the blink of an eye.
The guy’s head was still facing forward, as if he couldn’t even react.
Without hesitation, the circle of flame crosses the space.
Wow!
However, a sword rising from the ground in a timely manner blocked the blow.
Of course, the blade cracked and cracked as if it could not withstand the great power. If you hit it one more time, it will shatter like glass.
Unfortunately, I couldn’t do that.
I quickly took a step back when I felt a cool sensation under my feet.
Pababababat!
Geomlim surged forward with a narrow gap and cut into the spot where it had been just moments before.
And instead of disappearing into the ground again, the swords emerged as death knights one by one.
Every aspect of it is familiar.
‘These are the people in the chapel.’
Not only the Holy Knights of each denomination from all over the continent, but even the famous Ronin and mercenaries had all become undead.
I’m really glad that there aren’t any lovers in there.
“Are they the ones who arrived first?”
“That’s right. They were driven by demonic energy and rushed at me like a moth to fire. Thanks to this, I was able to replenish the exhausted legions.”
“Okay? But what should I do with this? “Today that army will disintegrate.”
“If you can, try it. “If I can capture you by exhausting all of these legions, that would also be beneficial.”
A creepy gaze swept over my entire body.
In particular, deep greed can be seen in the eyes looking at the flame condensed in the fist.
For Huscular, who longs for immortality, the Phoenix flame was a very interesting research material.
If I were caught by this guy, I would probably be subject to human experimentation without being able to live or die for the rest of my life.
‘That will never happen.’
Wouldn’t it be better if I died instead of being used by that guy?
I glanced sideways at Sarah and her saint and then rushed at Herculer again.
Numerous Death Knights blocked the path, but they ignored all attacks except for fatal wounds and focused only on clearing the path.
Bang! Kwasik! Quad deuk!
The Death Knights were easily destroyed by my single blow. The flame of the Phoenix is the opposite energy of death, so it is bound to be extremely advantageous.
However, no matter how advantageous it was, it was difficult to overcome the overwhelming number.
If you destroy one, two more will block the two sides, and if you break through them too, they will be holding you back from all sides.
As the progress progresses, the pace becomes slower and the frustrating steps and steps are repeated.
It was then.
“Light!”
Paaaaat!
With a sonorous cry, a bright light pushed away the darkness and weakened the Death Knight.
It was the holy magic of a saint.
Chosen by the goddess of light, Repentia, she was able to exercise powerful power even in this special environment.
“Go.”
Huscular seemed annoyed by this and immediately took out a separate team and targeted the saint, but Sarah was next to her.
She smiled at me as she successfully blocked the Death Knights.
-Go. I will protect the saint.
I nodded at the confident voice.
“Get out!!”
Kwagwagwagwang!
Immediately activating all artifacts, I dug into the gap and broke through the Death Knight army.
Breaking through wasn’t easy, but it wasn’t very difficult either.
This was all thanks to Huscular’s attitude of being close to the sidelines.
And when I stood in front of Huscular, a huge wall of demonic energy rose up, completely isolating me from the outside.
“Was this the intention?”
“Okay. “You can’t miss out on valuable research materials.”
“You seem very relaxed. That arrogance will kill you.”
“Let’s struggle.”
Pababababat!
With Huscular’s gesture, thousands of hands made of demonic energy flew out.
Since it was intended for suppression, it did not possess the unique extreme poison, but the magic energy accumulated over a long period of time was powerful enough in itself.
‘Damn it!’
I quickly escaped the encirclement by photonization.
However, in this narrow space where all sides are blocked, only a momentary crisis can be overcome, and before a single breath can pass, the magic hand turns and closes the distance in an instant.
In the end, you have no choice but to fall into an endless game of tag.
*
At that time, outside the wall, the saint and Sarah were struggling to deal with the approaching army of undead.
Bang! Kwasik! Poop!
Sarah’s iron fist and the saint’s sacred fist destroyed the undead in one blow, but there were more of them rushing in than falling.
The two’s stamina is quickly depleted by the guys coming in to quickly fill the empty space.
However, despite their situation, the two did not let go of their worries for Luan.
“Saint. What should I do? “Is there no way to save Luan?”
“Actually, there is one way. You just need time to use it. “Can you survive alone?”
“How much?”
“About 5 minutes.”
“5 minutes…”
Sarah bit her lip.
It’s too much to deal with just the two of you, but if you endure it alone, every moment is no different from performing a stunt that risks your life.
There is a very high probability that you will die.
Even knowing him, the weight of choice naturally tilted in one direction.
“I will. There is no chance anyway. “I risk my life to protect it.”
“Thank you. “Then please.”
Without any doubt, the saint immediately knelt down on the floor, clasped her hands together, and closed her eyes.
A state of complete defenselessness.
To repay that trust, Sarah gritted her teeth and withstood the onslaught of the undead.
I did my best to kill those who could be killed, block those that could be blocked, and use my body to absorb attacks that could not be blocked.
After about five minutes, when Sarah’s whole body was covered in blood, the saint opened her eyes.
“Saint. Is it done?”
“… Yes. I endured it well.”
“Then please do it right away! I think Luan has reached his limit.”
In the direction Sarah pointed, Luan was constantly moving against Huscular’s demonic beast.
The wall of demonic energy was like an absolute shield that could never be passed through, but unfortunately or fortunately, it was possible to observe the inside.
The saintess glanced sideways at the scene and looked at Sarah with a guilty expression.
“Before that, I have something to explain.”
“What is it? “I don’t have much time!”
“… From now on, we will temporarily tear down the wall. The problem is that when I use this power, I can’t move. The holding time is not long. So you have to go help.”
“Me?”
“Yes. “I’m sorry.”
It saddened the saint that she had to be forced to fight for her life once again, having suffered all sorts of injuries to protect herself.
Of course, just because she’s a saint doesn’t mean she’s safe.
Rather, if Sarah disappears, I will have to endure the onslaught of her undead alone, just like she did.
Even unlike Sarah, she would have to fight for her life for more than five minutes.
And fortunately for her, Sarah wasn’t that stupid to notice anything like that.
“It’s the same for both of us. There is no need to be sorry.”
“Thank you. Then, let’s get started right away.”
“Yes. The preparations are over.”
When Sarah gave her consent, the saint immediately exercised her power.
Paaaaat!
With a gesture of her hand, the space filled with black light split and a golden pillar shot out, hitting the wall of magic.
The wall concentrated its magic energy against the brilliance, but it could not handle the holy power and collapsed little by little.
However, due to the nature of space, the power cannot be borrowed for a long time, so the pillar of light stopped before it was completely destroyed.
It was just a small hole big enough for one person to go in and out.
Even that is rapidly decreasing.
Sarah nodded her head at her saint and threw her body into the hole.
As soon as she broke into her wall, her hole was repaired.
‘Please hold on just a little longer.’
Sarah finally shook off her lingering feelings for the saint and stood next to Luan.
“It was hard alone, right? Now I’ll help too.”
“… “Your injuries are pretty serious. Are you okay?”
“This is no big deal. “Don’t worry.”
Luan sadly looked at the wounds all over her body.
“If the subspace had opened, I would have treated it right away, so I’m sorry.”
“Why is it your fault? It’s all because of that guy.”
Originally, I would have used the semen potion to heal my wounds right away, but I found out that the subspace was already blocked on the way.
Sarah responded by pretending to be relaxed, replacing Lu An’s guilt with anger.
Luan also realizes what is the quickest solution for her and pours out her life to her hercule.
“Professor. Please assist me.”
“Leave it to me. Because we can create opportunities.”
“Yes. “Then I’ll go.”
After sending out her signal, Luan immediately turned into a photon and rushed towards the Huscular.
The speed is like light.
Her speed is such that even an apostle, Hercule, cannot keep up with her. That’s why he blocked all the paths that could lead to him with thousands of magical beasts.
Sarah tried to make the road a little wider.
Even if it is only for a moment, it creates just one gap for Luan to dig into.
But it wasn’t easy.
It can be said that it is almost impossible.
Even if he managed to create a chance, Luan’s attack did not cause effective damage to Huscular.
The sluggish fight only resulted in wastage of physical strength.
In the end, they were blocked by a dead end wall and retreated for a moment.
“There is no chance of winning like this. “Isn’t there a better way?”
“…”
“Luan?”
Sarah, who asked a question, tilted her head as she looked at Lu An, who was silent.
It was a big problem to turn one’s attention to a situation where even a moment’s inattention could cost one’s life, but Luan’s response was that strange.
Luan, who had been worried by her eyes, finally opened her mouth.
“Professor. “I’m sorry.”
“What? What are you talking about all of a sudden?”
“… You can resent me for the rest of your life.”
Luan’s face was so serious.
The problem is that the expression on his face conveyed guilt and determination rather than despair or frustration.
Sarah guessed the reason.
“You can’t believe it…”
“I know. This decision is like killing the professor twice. It will probably be a scar that will never be erased. But still, I have no choice but to do this.”
“Oh, no. Luan. Think again. That’s not possible!”
“I’m sorry.”
Despite Sara’s restraint, Luan did not flinch and carried out her will.
Sarah clenched her fists.
‘I can’t do it…’ .’
This was absolutely unacceptable.
It’s not because I don’t like Luan.
Quite the opposite.
She can’t because she has fallen in love with Luan.
He may have made this decision because he was sure that if he raped her, he would absolutely hate her, but he did not have the confidence to hate Sarah and hate her.
Getting your sincerity discovered is a separate issue.
If Luan becomes a ruined person because he cannot meet the conditions, he will blame himself.
He would call her a slut and say that even though she was raped, she actually liked it.
I didn’t want that to happen.
So, he has to persuade Luan to avoid the worst situation.
“Luan. “Are you planning on changing your decision?”
“Yes. “I want to save everyone at all costs.”
“… I see.”
It is too much to just say.
After confirming her unwavering will, Sarah lowered her head and let out her true feelings that she had wanted to keep hidden forever.
“Luan. “I love you.”
“… Yes?”
“Love you. So I cannot support that decision. “I’m sorry.”
What kind of face does Luan have?
Although she was very curious, Sarah didn’t have the courage to face him, so she closed her eyes tightly.
