Chapter 429 – 429. God of Thunder (2)
Belphegor was stunned by this completely unexpected situation.
It is not only this place where the bodies of Raynan and Gerard, who are currently in a state of disrepair, lie down.
The range of effect of Eleanor’s spirit god, ‘Chief Angel’s Wings’, is not limited to where she is.
Reducing the range of her effect would have allowed her to last longer and use it more efficiently, but Eleanor didn’t want that.
What she wanted was for the knights and wizards who participated in this sweeping operation to return home safely without causing a single casualty.
That’s why Eleanor, even with a little effort, covered the entire Lindewald Territory, where the vampires are currently sweeping up the area of effect that ‘Chiang Angel’s Wings’ can reach.
– Divinity throughout this place… !?
The high-quality divinity that currently fills the interior of the Lindewald Territory is impossible to reproduce this miracle even if a few high-ranking priests join forces.
Currently, the amount of this divinity that spreads throughout the Lindewald Territory, restoring the physical condition of knights and magicians and raising their condition to the highest level, undoubtedly exceeded Agnes, who is currently praised as the best priest.
Anies, who used her divine power in a way that was specialized for individual fights from the beginning, and Eleanor, who specialized in buffs and recovery in a way that would restore and protect many people, are incomparable areas.
Belphegor trembled at the strong divinity, as if the goddess of the divine realm was presenting herself to the underworld and presenting the majesty of a god.
-Why… How can there be remnants of a goddess here!
However, no one answered the question of the devil, who was only a psychic body that dwelled only in Raynan’s body.
There must have been priests who were chosen by the goddess and directly received divine blessings.
– Really. Still disturbed… !
Even though it has come so far by devising all sorts of tricks to restart the invasion of demons, which was stopped about 400 years ago in the time of the summer world.
Even after 400 years have passed, I feel annoyed and angry at the power of the goddesses who interfere once again.
-Shit… First of all, you have to avoid the seat.
Fortunately, before the interference of the divine, he succeeded in demonization and saved Raynon’s life.
The divinity of the goddess possessed by those pure white feathers strewn across the underworld is no different from a deadly poison, a natural enemy to the devil.
Raynan’s body, which was barely revived, is still half-human, half-demon, half-man half-demon.
There can be no resistance to that divinity.
Even Belphegor felt threatened by that divinity, which even he, who was still only a mental body that was not his main body, could only resist.
Belphegor intervened in Raynan’s still unconscious body and forcibly took control of her.
Kwajik!
A pair of black demon wings broke through the skin from Raynan’s back, which was barely connected.
At the same time, the two horns sprouting on both sides of the forehead are proof that Raynan is starting to abandon the human form little by little.
It was a weak human voice that stopped Belphegor from flapping his wings and flying through the sky with Raynan’s body to escape from this place.
“There… West…”
His voice was weak, dry and cracked like land that hadn’t rained for a long time, but Belphegor hesitated and turned his head to look back at her.
“Cool!”
Gerard, who was dying after falling to the floor, looks up at Raynon’s body and tries to move her body somehow, but Gerard vomits blood again.
“… It’s really jingling.”
Belphegor clicked his tongue.
It was surprising that he overpowered Raynan by controlling the power of the divine beast, which he thought would be absolutely impossible, for about 2 seconds, but what made Belphegor tremble was the effect of those divine feathers that saved his dying body.
There was no reason not to be impressed by the miracle of restoring the burnt blood, restoring the eyes, and restoring the vocal cords to restore the original human form.
“Cool! Escape… Are you hitting it!”
However, even if the whole body was restored to its original state, the magic power of a giraffe was present in his body, albeit weakly.
Gerard’s body was restored due to the pure white feathers scattered by the angel’s wings, and at the same time, the giraffe’s mana ran rampant and burned his body with lightning bolts.
As his body recovers, even his senses are revived, and Gerard, who can feel pain, glares at Raynan’s body, which has become demonized, while feeling the pain.
‘I can finish… There was… !’
It was confirmed that the whole body was on fire and the breath was cut off.
However, it was not enough to revive Raynan’s once dead body, and only a silent wailing continued in this situation that made him look like a devil.
“Cool!”
Even though his body was restored, he was so resentful of his current condition that he was constantly harassing him until the magical power of the divine beast he had swallowed was destroyed, and he couldn’t even listen to his words.
This is lamentation for one’s helpless self.
“Ugh… Ugh!”
Belphegor, who had taken control of Raynan’s body, looked at Gerard, who was struggling to move his body, which couldn’t be obeyed, with a tired gaze.
‘Should I kill him now?’
Belphegor was troubled when he saw Gerard, who had a tenacious expression and tried to counter him by moving his body somehow.
It is said that he recovered his atrocious body condition with miraculous timing, but as long as he possesses the magical power of that violent divine beast, the giraffe, his life is no different from ending.
The ‘Chief Angel’s Wings’, which continues to restore his physical condition, is not a permanent lasting effect.
If the priest releases the spirit god, which indirectly exerts the power of the goddess, Gerard’s whole body will be burned again by the magic of thunderbolt, and he will die in the end.
Even if you leave it alone, the person staring at you in front of you will die anyway.
But…
‘Why?’
For some reason, I had a strong hunch that this troublesome human should not be spared.
It would be impossible to resist any longer, but his eyes were so straight.
He’s a nuisance that seems to get in his way, and most of all, it’s so annoying that he’s looking at him with those eyes.
Belphegor, having finished his troubles, slowly moved towards Gerard.
Killing is simple.
It’s because you can pull out the neck of a human who is lying on the floor and can’t get up.
A perfect instant death that cannot be restored even with divine power.
“Nice… Eww!”
Looking up at Belphegor, who took control of Raynan’s body, who was slowly walking toward him, Gerard clenched his teeth.
‘Perhaps. Now, if now…’
Gerard activated his own magical powers.
◆ ◆ ◆
“There are conditions instead.”
“… Is it a condition?”
As soon as Eun-hyeon expressed her intention to accept that she would refine the inside of the Shinsu Kirin, an additional condition was added.
“I have no intention of killing you. If you want to eat this… Make it completely yours.”
“…”
Hearing Eunhyun’s words, Gerard’s expression hardened.
What he meant was so simple.
The story of not giving up his life and completely controlling the giraffe’s mana to make it his own is very simple.
However, if that was possible, Gerard would not visit Eunhyeon and ask for advice or advice.
“Older brother. But that…”
“Know. That it’s hard I know very well that he thought about it a lot and made up his mind after much thought and asked me for a favor. This is not to mock your determination.”
Eunhyun, staring at Gerard, was infinitely serious.
Soon after, he poured the alcohol Gerard had brought into the empty glass that had been placed in front of him on the table and drank it down.
“… Aren’t you supposed to drink while working?”
“You brought it. And the manufacturing was almost finished. You can leave the rest to Emilia and her dolls.”
Like Gerard, Eun-hyeon, who had made up her mind, opened her mouth again.
“To be honest… Not the right way. There is no guarantee that you will be successful. It’s as crazy as wanting to commit suicide. Still…”
If successful, Gerard will be able to handle the giraffe’s thunderbolt with Norris, while maintaining his human form.
“Would you like to try?”
“… Older brother.”
“Why.”
“I am. He is a human who has withstood his brother’s crazy training.”
Even though he really thought, ‘Oh, this is going to kill me’, Gerard, who had persevered through the training, has now grown up and become one of the six heroes.
Gerard, who said that if he could turn back time and go back to that time, he would never be trained by Eun-hyeon, just like the former military veterans of Earth, Gerard still recalled that time in the past.
“I will definitely survive this time and try to succeed. Do you believe me?”
Seeing Gerard’s flirtatious attitude of confidently shrugging his shoulders, Eunhyeon couldn’t help but let out a small sigh and smile.
“Okay. Okay!”
“Thank you! Older brother!”
Gerard burst into joy and burrowed into Eun-hyeon’s arms and hugged him tightly.
Eunhyeon and Gerard absolutely refused to engage in male skinship, but maybe it was because of the slightly drunkenness, Eunhyeon smiled bitterly but did not restrain his actions.
Although his attitude was a bit frivolous, he even felt proud that Gerard, who had pursued the remnants of the empire and made efforts in various ways, had made a great decision at the risk of his own life.
Gerard was also thrilled with the consideration that the man who had helped him grow and lead him so far reciprocated and thought of his determination.
“Ha… If my older brother was a woman… I would have made her a bride no matter what.”
“You hate me. Hey.”
Squeak
Eventually, Illyana opened the studio door and entered, frowning at the sight of two men hugging each other.
“… What are you two doing now?”
◆ ◆ ◆
“Nice… Ugh!”
She activates the magical power inside her body and makes her move around her body, covering the weak magic power of the Kirin that remained in her body.
In the process, an immense pang of pain struck Gerard’s mind, but Gerard clenched his teeth and endured.
‘Are you okay. Less than the first time.’
Compared to the intense thunder and lightning energy that rushed in as soon as he swallowed the inner hem of the divine beast for the first time, Gerard thought that all power was lost and only a part of this energy was worth enduring.
This is more like a crazy gamble that Gerard can think of because he has already experienced death as a threshold.
Due to Eleanor’s spirit god, the angel’s wings, Gerard’s body was constantly being burned by lightning and recovering at the same time.
He pursued only one goal even in the agony that seemed like he was about to go mad.
– I have no intention of killing you. If you want to eat this… Make it completely yours
Gerard had already betrayed Eun-hyeon’s expectations and gave up his own life.
If you think differently, the fact that he is now protecting his life with a completely unexpected variable is an opportunity for a genius.
‘I have to make even the remaining giraffe’s magical power mine.’
The two people Gerard immediately thought of were two.
The first is the advice of Eun-hyeon, who made her by refining the inside of this divine beast.
The second is the image of Erin, who has already stably embraced the power of a divine beast in her body and has grown splendidly.
Her and her own current circumstances are clearly at odds, but Gerard took her cue from Erin’s case.
The reason why the giraffe’s mana runs rampant and tears his body apart is that it does not match the mana already in his body and creates a repulsive force.
‘It harmonizes my magical power and the divine beast’s magical power.’
“Keuuugh!”
As a result, he suffered tremendous pain, but Gerard endured it with mental strength and grit and continued to try to harmonize.
Fortunately, Gerard’s body, which continued to burn as a side effect of the repulsive force from the angel’s wings, continued to be automatically healed.
It was a battle of mental strength.
‘… What are you doing?’
Belphegor, who was moving to stop Gerard’s breath, sensed something strange belatedly.
I put my hand close to rip off Gerard’s throat, who starts to tremble and sparks fly.
Paperweight!
Gerard’s arm, which hadn’t moved at all until now, moved and grabbed Ray Nan’s outstretched arm.
