Chapter 424 – 424. Heroes and Heroes (1)
A huge pillar of blue light soared high into the sky.
The pillar itself is an overwhelming force of violence that cuts through the clouds and rips through the frozen air.
This technology didn’t just happen overnight.
A skill born from the accumulation of hard work and obsession, created by continuous training over 1 year, 2 years, 4 years, 8 years, and 16 years.
The completion of the movement, where power is transmitted intact from the legs supporting the floor to the upper body and arms along the waist, is the extreme meaning of the black leod that expresses the ideal of perfect swordsmanship.
Wow!
The sky of the Lindewald Territory, which had been turned into a frigid land, was split in two, and the huge sword energy of Riod struck directly at Nosferard’s body, which was frozen and slowed down.
Key, yeeeee
The moment when the sword, containing the raging magical storm, touches Nosferad’s body.
It tore open the frozen skin, burrowed into the flesh, and severed the bones.
Nosferard screamed in agony and struggled against him.
However, Riod’s swordsmanship, which had already been hit directly, gradually tore Nosferad’s body in two.
Damn
Finally, Nosferad’s body split, and the giant bat, an ancient beast, met its end.
“Whoa…”
Liod, who exhaled a small breath and showed his strength for the first time in a long time, stared at the frozen corpse of Nosferad, which he had split in half.
“Did you kill him?”
“Yes.”
Simon, who had improved his condition, followed belatedly and looked up at the corpse of the giant bat beast that Leo had made.
“… Great.”
It is a force sufficient to possess such majesty, befitting a hero who has won the title of the best knight in the kingdom.
“What are you going to do now?”
Defeated the boss at the top of the enemy army.
The death of Nosferad means the downfall of the vampires who have been given power by them.
As they gradually begin to lose their strength and become demoralized, they can no longer be opponents.
However, Riod stared at Nosferad’s corpse with a serious expression.
It was because there were more troublesome things left than dealing with the remnants of the remaining vampires.
“Immediately ask the priests to purify all the aura of plague that exists in this beast’s corpse.”
Eunhyeon explained that Nosferad, an ancient witch beast, has a more difficult point than other witch beasts.
– Combat is a problem, but the disposal of corpses is also annoying. The moment Nosferard dies, the energy of the plague that was in his body will pour out. If it spreads through the air and spreads to people, it will die in an instant.
That’s why you have to go through the process of properly purifying Nosferad’s corpse.
It is more difficult and cumbersome to organize the situation after the battle than the battle.
However, Eunhyun sent Eleanor and a number of priests for this, so preparations for that are certain.
Fortunately, Nosferad’s corpse was put into a frozen state with the magic of Magus and Simon, so the aura of the plague was not immediately spread outside.
‘I want to ask Eleanor to purify her, but…’
It is unreasonable to ask for more prayers from Eleanor, who has already consumed an enormous amount of divinity while maintaining her spirit.
While maintaining this frozen state, there is no choice but to summon the priests who are currently taking care of the injured and slowly purify them.
“Riodniim!”
The young voice that was getting closer was full of urgency.
Turning her head in the direction from which the voice came, what she saw was a woman with beautiful dark blue hair.
“Erin?”
It was a good thing that the timing was right, and I got a direct contact with someone on Eleanor’s side.
“It was fine. She immediately asked Eleanor to tell her priests…”
“Leod! Wait a minute! I have more pressing matters!”
“… A more urgent matter?”
No matter how hurried she was, Erin gasping for her breath, her face and her actions showed no composure.
As she entered the final stage of the sweeping operation, she thought that she had passed all her dangerous hurdles, but when she saw Erinn’s face, Liod hardened her expression with a feeling of uneasiness.
“… What happened?”
“Gerard… !”
◆ ◆ ◆
Kaaang!
“… Tsk!”
Even Gerard’s sharp dagger that grazed her at Raynon’s waist did not harm Raynon’s body.
It wasn’t flesh, but it was as hard as if it had collided with steel, which naturally made Gerard frown.
Said Ray Nann, staring at Gerard as she distanced herself from herself, dodging her own counter-fist.
“I would have said that. You cannot defeat me.”
“…”
“You must know that you and I are not compatible.”
Raynan’s expression as he looked at Gerard was extremely calm.
It’s not that she’s ignoring Gerard, seeing the gap between her and herself.
Ray Nann harbored a hatred of annihilating all humans on the continent, but she was a human with contradictory ideas who knew how to respect her awe and respect for the opponent’s martial arts.
Gerard’s achievements and hours of hard work are not light enough to be ignored.
The only light things about him were his jokes and his infinitely lighthearted attitude toward women.
That’s why Raynan never ignored Gerard.
What Raynan is talking about is a pure mutual difference.
Gerard’s strengths are his overwhelming speed and one-hit assassination ability using technique.
He shows extreme brute strength to the point where it is said that there is no one to oppose when targeting people.
However, on the contrary, his short battle is that if the target has overwhelming defensive power that exceeds the attack power, the skill becomes useless.
Even that extreme one-hit kill is meaningless if it doesn’t do any damage to the target.
Gerard’s skills are limited to humans and are a terrifying threat, but he has strong defense or becomes fatally weak against monsters and non-human beings.
Gerard, whose basic ability specs are biased to one side, was the one with the clearest strengths and weaknesses among the six heroes.
“Give up.”
The compatibility of the two heroes, which could not be overturned even 20 years ago, continues even now.
The battle between Gerard and Raynan was fierce.
If one side decides which side has the upper hand, it looks like Gerard is cornering him with a relentless onslaught on Raynan.
The reality is completely different.
Using the high-speed movement technique using the heterogeneous wheel he learned from Eun-hyeon, he disturbed Raynan’s eyes by constantly moving back and forth, left and right, and up and down.
He attacked many parts of Raynan, such as calves, thighs, arms, shoulders, and neck, but it was impossible to inflict damage through Raynan’s strengthened body, which made full use of strong defense.
Rather, he did not avoid Gerard’s attacks and accepted them all, and whenever Gerard showed a gap, Raynan’s counter punches that flew in made Gerard’s heart cool.
Even one hit would be a fatal blow to himself.
Besides, Gerard’s head was very complicated.
‘… This fuckin’ thing, he really intends to kill me.’
His fist, which had such a clear intent to kill, had a complex psychology.
In the part of whether you are sincere, it is the same that Gerard also has the intent to kill Raynan and is dealing with him sincerely.
However, the situation is different from himself, who can make him half-dead if he desperately does this, and Ray Nann, who, without hesitation, throws a powerful punch to smash his former colleague’s head.
Gerard firmly changed his mind.
The reason why his heart was shaken was because of his complacency in having past feelings for Ray Nann.
The Raynon in front of me is definitely a villain who plans to annihilate humans by allying with the vampires.
He realized it again.
His slightly trembling hand regained strength, gripped his own dagger tightly, and released his magical energy.
[Gerard’s Attribute Secret]
[Thunder’s Tooth]
Dismissed! Paperweight!
With golden sparks flying, Gerard’s dagger was covered with golden lightning.
His own weakness of being helpless against monsters and other beings who possess relatively overwhelming defense power, while making full use of one-hit killing techniques against humans.
Insufficient attack power.
To make up for it, Eunhyeon and Gerard created Gerard’s secret secret after much thought and effort.
“Give up?”
Gerard pointed a dagger like a golden fang covered in lightning at Raynon and continued.
“You give up. It’s this fuckin’ meal.”
“… Under.”
Seeing Gerard proudly declaring war on him, Raynon smiled.
She realized again who she had been inviting surrender to.
Even though she knew that Gerard would never give up, why did she persuade him to surrender?
Pushing a question she herself couldn’t answer to the depths of her heart, Ray Nann took a stand again.
‘I’m serious.’
Ray Nann was wary of his movements, thinking that Gerard, who brought out her secret weapon, would be different from before.
Like himself, he will finally make up his mind and attack to take his life.
It is impossible to follow Gerard’s movements with his moving vision.
However, it is not impossible to predict.
Those thunderbolt teeth boast extreme attack power that rips and burns everything they touch with a golden thunderbolt, but boasts tremendous consumption of mana.
If you attack yourself with that skill that can only be used a few times, where will it attack?
‘It must be a vital point.’
To be precise, his left chest where his heart is embedded.
The moment he made his decision, Gerard’s figure disappeared.
Using Lee Hyung-hwan’s stomach, Gerard, who appeared in front of Ray Nann, lowered his dagger.
He ducked to avoid Raynan’s fists, then jumped up like a spring and plunged into Raynan’s arms.
“… !”
Gerard’s sword wasn’t aiming at his left chest, where his heart was, as Ray Nann had predicted.
The target he was aiming for was his shoulder, which continued to burn as Erin stabbed the rapier.
Paperweight!
The only crack in Reynon created by Erin that could not be protected even by strengthening the body using magical powers.
I hurriedly tried to protect his shoulder with my gauntlets.
“Late.”
Gerard’s dagger, which was firing her golden thunderbolt, simply tore away the enchantment of her body enhancement, which had been disturbed by Erin’s fox fire, and lodged in Raynan’s shoulder.
“Huh!”
With all her strength, she slashed down her dagger with all her might, and her dagger, which fired a golden thunderbolt, burned Raynan’s unenchanted shoulder and severed it all too easily.
Gerard kicked Ray Nann in the leg, leaving her arm cut from her shoulder and leaving her defenseless for a moment.
Gerard climbed on top of Raynan’s body, who had collapsed on the floor in vain, and took a mount stance, and slashed Raynan’s face roughly with his fist that was not holding her dagger.
Puck! Puck! Puck!
As Ray Nann’s head turned violently to the side after being hit by three gunshots, and her lips parted, Gerard looked at her and asked.
“Wake. It’s this fuckin’ meal.”
However, Raynan, who lost one of her arms after being hit with a blow, had a calm expression even when he saw Gerard slapping his own face.
“Excellent.”
Following a small murmur of admiration and admiration for his old teammate, a strong jolt hit Gerard’s side.
“Keugh!?”
Gerard didn’t quite realize what had happened for a moment.
Gerard, who was pushed to the side at the same time he was struck in the side, hurriedly stood up as he fell to the floor with the intense impact.
“Ouch… !”
Gerard, still unable to recover from the shock and feeling the aftereffects of his internal organs twisting, hurriedly raised his head and grasped what had happened.
“Why… ?”
The reason why his side was relatively unguarded was because Gerard severed Ray Nann’s arm and judged that there would be no attack from his side.
“… What.”
Gerard hardened his face as he checked what had hit him in the side.
Dark red mana shimmered from the severed surface near Raynan’s shoulder.
Then, the sight of his burned arm floating in the air was enough to paralyze Gerard’s reason.
Gerard knew very well what that meant.
Anger surged at the sight of himself, Raynan, and their comrades creating a similar sight to the Emperor of the Empire whom they had killed 20 years earlier.
It is unbearable that it is none other than his former colleague who is leading this production.
“At last…”
Gerard trembled with rage as he squeezed the dagger he was holding.
In the end, he couldn’t stand it and shouted at Raynan in a fit of rage.
“Are you giving up being human after all? You son of a bitch!”
