Resurrected Immortal 1001

Chapter 1001 – 1001. His Shadow (2)

The Emperor’s Black Magic.
As the word implies, ‘extremely evil way’ is magic itself, which is extremely evil and completely against the law.
The irrationality of canceling out all external attacks, including physical attacks directed at oneself and even magical attacks.
It was not simply a defensive magic with the concept of ‘blocking.’
The black magic power that transformed the emperor’s entire body into a giant blocks and cancels out attacks from outside.
It blocks all physical attacks, whether slashing, hitting, or piercing, and at the same time cancels out not only the sword energy of the magic power of the blade but also the magic power of the attack magic, an irrationality that goes beyond reason.
Nine-tailed fox, Elvin, and Derkin all frowned after hearing the explanation of the ‘extremely evil way.’
It was natural.
Because I personally experienced the absurdity of how on earth one could catch something like that.

“How did they catch that 20 years ago?”

“There were weaknesses. “Illyana dug into that and finished it.”

But now there is no Illyana to bring it to an end.

Thud! Thud! Coo!

Every time you take a step forward, a giant of such enormous mass shakes the ground that it shakes and slowly approaches the rear line where the expedition team and the Holy Kingdom soldiers have retreated.

“Wow, it’s really a plague… “I don’t know what happened.”

Anyes muttered, glaring at the emperor’s now gigantic body.
On the other hand, except for Annies, who was irritated, Riod, Gerard, and Alice were unexpectedly calm.
Rather than being calm, he was calmly and coolly analyzing the enemy that was like a nightmare from 20 years ago.

“Of course, as Lord Riod said, that magic power is exactly the same as the magic power back then.”

Alice grasped the essence of the emperor’s ‘atrocious martial arts’ within her spirit.

“Ha, Mr. I have to kill that thing again. There are no nightmares. Really.”

Gerard sighed and stood next to Riod, who was already in a fighting stance.

“What should I do?”

“I guess we can’t use the same method as back then, right?”

“… “Aren’t you more embarrassed than I thought?”

Rather, Alice’s husband, Derkin, was quite embarrassed by the way they calmly grasped the situation and came up with a solution.

“That’s because it’s an opponent I beat once before. And…”

Alice continued speaking as she looked up at the emperor who had transformed into a black giant with a serious expression.

“He is also the one who stole my eyes.”

Although it is said that Eunhyeon’s miraculous help restored her lost sight and allowed her to see the faces of her beloved husband and daughter, for Alice, the emperor was nothing more than an enemy and the starting point of misfortune.
Is that really the emperor from 20 years ago?
That didn’t matter.
The most important thing is that the opportunity has come to wash away the sense of loss, resentment, and humiliation of losing that grudge at that time, and that alone is enough.

“… I see.”

Derkin nodded his head with a stern expression.

“That…” .”

The culprit who robbed his beloved wife of happiness.
Derkin was furious.
He was not so gentle-natured that he remained silent in front of someone who was like his enemy.

“You… ?”

For a moment, she was taken aback when she saw Derkin standing in front of her and taking a fighting stance, but then she immediately realized her husband’s intentions.

“Let’s be together this time.”

Alice smiled happily.

“Sure.”

She was facing the same worst enemy as then, but strangely enough, she did not feel the same helplessness and despair as before.
It’s not just because he’s an opponent he defeated once.
Because you have a reliable companion who is with you and protects you.
As long as I was with this person, I wasn’t afraid of anything.

“… “That’s disgusting.”

The nine-tailed fox read the irritating pink emotional current and frowned.
These were the feelings of the two elementalist couples, an elf and a human, who were in the back row together.
It was a very uncomfortable feeling for the nine-tailed fox.
She had once had that feeling too, but now that she had been betrayed, it was a feeling she swore she would never have again.
Her eyes fell on Gerard without realizing it.
Why?
Even I couldn’t understand the reason.
When I looked at him, my heart felt heavy for some reason.
I was frustrated, angry, and irritated.
Why?

“… Tsk.”

Did he notice it? Or is he just pretending not to know?
She realized the question she was asking herself and clicked her tongue.
She thought she was an idiot for thinking like this.
The nine-tailed fox spoke as if it were trying to get rid of the confusion in its heart that was clouding it like a dark cloud.

“Stop making useless chatter and come up with a plan. “If you beat an opponent 20 years ago, of course there would be a strategy for that irrational magic, right?”

“That’s right.”

Gerard nodded his head and glanced at Alice.

◆ ◆ ◆

The emperor advanced slowly.
Every time he takes a step forward, the earth shakes violently, cries out, and, unable to withstand the mass, digs down and splits.
It is like the embodiment of disaster that has come to ravage and trample on the dignity of all living things in this world.

“No…”

“We’re all going to die…”

“Thank you God. Please…”

It was enough to break the hearts of those watching.
It was natural that the soldiers of the Holy Kingdom who witnessed the disaster from the rear felt deep despair, as if they were all falling into an abyss.
The majesty of that gigantic monster, the infinitely sinister presence of magical power.
The moment I felt it with my own skin, I had no choice but to realize it.
That thing can’t be beat.
Impossible.
The moment people realized this, they began to accept reality in their own way.
Some deny the disaster that has just appeared, give up their lives already, or wander in search of the transcendent God they firmly believe in.
While many people accepted despair, there were naturally those who did not let go of a small spark of hope even in this situation.

“For sure… They created a new miracle…”

20 years ago, they were the ones who brought peace to the world by averting the crisis that seemed like it would end the world.
It will definitely bring them peace once again with a new miracle.
I had no doubt about it.
It was also the case that there was no other way than to believe it in the first place.
People earnestly prayed for another miracle to happen.

[Intermediate Elemental Art]
[Summon Lieutenant Spirit]

[Alice Elemental Art]
[Silpheria’s Breath]

Fuuuuu!

As if responding to that prayer, a huge gust of wind rushed towards the black giant.
The aftereffects of an intense impact filled the air with violent tremors, reaching the rear line several kilometers away.
As if a huge explosion had occurred, the expanding air eventually spread out in all directions, showing off its presence.
The suddenly fierce gust of wind blurred the emperor’s enormous black figure for a moment, but that was all.
Even the blade of the cold wind, which seemed as if it would tear apart everything it touched, could not eliminate the black magic that surrounded the emperor.
However, the fact that it was blurred even momentarily meant that the magic power was not perfect either.

“It’s as expected.”

Alice analyzed the emperor’s magical power with fierce eyes.
Her artificially created ‘Spirit Eyes’ are special eyes that can see through the essence of magical power that makes up spirits.
Alice’s two eyes were a miracle that allowed her to see her light and her family again, and at the same time, they were her greatest artifact containing the magical essence of Eunhyun and Illyana.
As confirmed through that insight, the emperor’s magic power had the same irrational providence as before, but its weaknesses were also perfectly reproduced along with its characteristics.

“You three spend time with Alvin.”

“After all, is it bound to be the same as then? “Oh my.”

“Don’t complain. “If there is a better move, you can pay it.”

“No. Older brother. Who said they wouldn’t do it? “I just complained a little.”

Gerard, who was grinning while complaining, moved.

[Goddess. Give me some buffs.]

[Vesta’s Blessing]
[Archangel’s Blessing]

The goddess’s blessings, which are manifested through prayers of divine power, surround Riod and Gerard, who have begun to advance to the front.
The moment when I felt the synthesis of a powerful miracle that strengthened basic physical abilities and at the same time temporarily offset external shocks.

Pajik! Puzzle!

Gerard moved with an intense thunder light surrounding his dagger.

[Gerrard’s attributes]
[Lightning stone fire]

It became a dazzling thunderstorm itself and reached the location of the Emperor’s Giant several kilometers away, a split-second flash of light.
Riod also moved at almost the same time, but once Gerrard started moving, his speed was the best among his teammates.
And then, as Gerard started to run against the wind, Elvin followed Gerard’s shadow and assisted him.
He stepped on the shadow platform that Erwin had created, leaped upward, and occupied the back and nape of the giant giant.

“Let’s test it again to see if it works this time!”

Gerard excitedly swung his dagger covered in lightning.
20 years ago, his sword-armed attack did not reach the emperor.
At that time, Gerrard was praised by many as a hero, but compared to the heroes and other team members he worked with at the same time, he was lacking even if he was lacking.
He was not born with talents that utilized his own body, such as swordsmanship or martial arts, much less was he born with vast magical power like Illyana or Anies, or his divine power through the choice of the goddess.
The reason he used a short sword was also because the small amount of magical power he had could not withstand the enormous amount of waste required to maintain the sword power of a long long sword.
But it’s different now.
Now that he has eaten the inner sweets of a divine beast called Kirin, he is able to control enormous magical power that cannot be controlled by human power.
Gerard became curious.
Will the magic power of this thunderbolt, which I was able to master after receiving lessons from the nine-tailed fox and through much effort, really work against the disaster that was struggling 20 years ago?
And as if to answer that question, the sword energy of the intense thunder light encroaching on the surroundings collides with the emperor’s black magic power.

Kaaaaang!

A sound resembling an intense metal sound that felt like scratching my ears rang out.
It wasn’t an illusion.
Solid as if it had hit an iron plate.
The emperor’s black magic power.
The black magic ‘Atrocious Wrongdo’ was canceling out Kirin’s lightning.
But nonetheless.

“Tsk… !”

Gerard clenched his teeth and maintained the output of the thunderbolt wrapped around his dagger.
To the extent that it is offset by the ‘extremely evil path’, it actually increases its output even further.

‘Hot.’

My whole body felt hot, like it was on fire.
The thunderbolt emitted from the heart runs rampant throughout his body, threatening to burn out all his blood vessels and nerves.
A distant pain that could not be described in words assaulted his whole body and threatened his spirit.

“Just this much… !”

Now is the time to put in a lot of effort and patience to learn how to control the magic power of this rampaging divine beast.
You can control it.
He desperately controls the thunderbolt that is released with the power to burn his entire body, and directs the entire flow of the discharge with a dagger covered in lightning.
The handle holding the dagger trembles.
It was so dangerous that he thought he might lose it at any moment, but Gerard held on tightly to his senses and controlled the magical power of the divine beast.
And finally.

“Haha.”

Gerard laughed.
The yellowish thunderstorm gradually changed.
As if impurities were being removed, the light gradually became pure white.
The frantic and turbulent thunderstorms gradually turned into silence.
Like gently rippling waves on the water.
Beautiful.
For a moment, the pure white thunderbolt created in the stream of consciousness that I desperately held on to finally began to tear away the black magic of the ‘extremely evil path’, the symbol of irrationality that had canceled out everything.

[Gerrard’s attributes secret]
[White light]

As the irrationality of the near-invincible ‘offset of magical power’ was torn apart, the black magical power that had formed the emperor’s giant form gradually became blurred and lost its shape.

[Stupid guy.]

The voice of a nine-tailed fox was heard from afar.
It was by no means a distance that could be heard as a voice.
It was a message sent by the nine-tailed fox to Gerard through the magical power of the divine beast.
The nine-tailed fox scolded Gerard in a disapproving voice.

[I warned you not to use it beyond the output limit, but you ended up using it anyway.]

It’s like a mother scolding her young son for not listening to her no matter how many times she tells him.

[Haha, sorry. But Miho.]

Gerard caught her laughing and hit her back with a full smack.

[What.]

[Still, I did well, right?]

[Noisy. This guy has no learning ability whatsoever. But what…]

Pajik! Puzzle!

[You did pretty well.]

The nine-tailed fox’s words were closer to a muttering to himself, quieter than usual, with a slight tremor.
Gerard, whose wave of magical energy became unstable as the intense thunderstorm encroached around him, was unable to hear the nine-tailed fox’s last words until the end.

[Yes? Miho. I’m sorry, but I’ll say it again…]

I think it was definitely a compliment.
Gerard, who couldn’t hear it properly, asked the nine-tailed fox.

[Shut up.]

The nine-tailed fox didn’t say it twice.
