Chapter 501 – 501. Great War of Gods (2)
Creeper!
While Yo-ho was struggling with the intense pain felt from his forepaw that had been split vertically and severed, Eun-hyeon jumped up and cut Yo-ho’s nape once more.
From the cracked nape, blue magic instead of blood flowed out, and the divine beast’s magic that came up from the ground wrapped around Yoho’s whole body and regenerated the wound.
Engaging with Yoho, Eunhyeon was the busiest one.
Gerard, who is covered in lightning all over his body, quickly moves to lightning petrification and shoots lightning to confuse Yoho, takes charge of the aggro that he couldn’t pull off, and at the same time continuously fires intense swordsmanship to prevent the attack from Riod, who is damaging Yoho. I was making a backup.
However, just as Yoho was trying to figure out the attack patterns of the three and respond to them, and deal with Leo, who was in charge of a powerful attack, Leo and Eun-hyeon naturally exchanged roles without communication.
Riod dealt with Yoho’s attack from the front, and Eunhyeon cut Yoho’s neck in the gap between them.
“Oh my god…”
Among the royal family escorted by the knights of Artia, Yuria muttered in fascination at this sight of the Yoho and the three men fighting fiercely.
The battle unfolding in front of their eyes is hardly a fight that ordinary humans can fight.
It wasn’t just her who was thinking about it, but all the members of Artia who were watching this fight.
“This… Hero…”
I see, hear, and feel with my own skin some of the armed forces of those who defeated the emperor who had been passed over to the devil and ended a long war.
“It’s on a different level…”
Some are just astonished, some are longing, and some are expressing respect and pride.
As the Yoho engaged in a fierce battle with the three, he was gradually moving away from the entrance of the ruins where he had been holding his ground.
Upon noticing this, Eleanor immediately approached Alex and Yuria.
“Princess. Brother.”
Alex nodded her head, realizing what she was trying to say at Eleanor’s call.
“… Okay.”
When the faces of her two brothers and sisters turned to her, she naturally sensed that she had to do something in this situation.
She gulped and tried to deflect her tension, but she couldn’t calm down and in a trembling voice she asked the two siblings.
“I… Is there anything I need to do?”
“You’re right. Princess. That person… He said that only the princess could do this.”
Eleanor told YuRia her plan of Eun Hyun.
“I am… ?”
“Yes.”
Eleanor quietly turned her body around, staring at the entrance to the ruins revealed as Yoho stepped aside.
The Orbis ruins built on this island were known externally as tombs where the bodies of former royalty were buried, but the reality is completely different.
A few hundred years ago, the place where Ortas sealed the fox orb himself.
Turning her head back to Yuria, Eleanor nodded her head and continued her words.
“As that person said earlier, even though it is currently receiving damage from several fatal attacks, it is the dense magic power that fills this land that restores the damage of that gigantic fox. And the source of this power…”
I realized what YuRia and Alex were implying instinctively.
“I… In the ruins… ?”
“Yes.”
In response to Eleanor’s calm nodding of her head, Yuria frowned as she remembered her ominous imagination.
“No way… Are you asking me to go inside the ruins and destroy the fox orb in the ruins?”
“That’s right.”
“…”
Seeing Eleanor’s bold and unreasonable demands, YuRia put on an absurd expression and lost her words.
“Do you know what kind of place it is? If a person who does not have royal blood passes through that place, the barrier device installed will activate and burn the whole body, leaving not even bone fragments left.”
That barrier is a barrier that operates semi-permanently in response to the extremely faint magical power of the divine beast that exists in Ortas’ blood.
In other words, it means that only those who can enter the ruins are those of royal blood, and cannot be accompanied by a single escort.
In the meantime, it was a ceremony in which the crown prince passed through the ruins and recognized the legitimacy of the succession to the throne as a royal family.
From the past, only Ortas, who has lived an eternal life by stealing from the body of the previous king and the body of the current crown prince who inherited the throne, has been able to enter and exit the ruins so far. It is understandable that there was.
However, Eleanor is telling her to go inside the ruins, knowing what exists and what might be waiting for her.
“I am… I can not.”
YuRia wrapped her arms around her shaking hands and forcibly calmed her down.
As much as she had been struggling desperately to protect her body, she hated being put in such a dangerous situation.
Unlike her previous life, which ended her life in vain, her small wish is to live a normal, happy, and comfortable life in this life.
Yuria, who did not have the spirit or chivalrous spirit to jump on her own, did not respond to Eleanor’s request.
However, not only Eleanor, but also Eun-hyeon expected her to come out like that.
“No. Princess. The princess is not alone.”
Eleanor smiled and denied Yuria’s words.
Eunhyeon and Eleanor, who were well aware of her personality, did not intend to send Yuria, who was only a coward, to a dangerous place alone.
Above all, there were men who did not tolerate it.
“I will join you. Princess.”
Her Alex comforted her by clasping one of her hands with Yuria, who was holding her arms.
“Alex… ?”
“Didn’t I tell you? Anytime, anywhere, I promise to be your strength.”
“Ah…”
Yuria sighed lightly.
In this situation, it was very comforting to have a giver for herself who could do nothing but curl up in her fear.
It was Alex who always offered her own back and supported her when she was having a hard time and when she was afraid.
His straightforward words, actions, and expressions made Yuria’s face instantly hot and avoided her gaze.
“… Princess?”
“Oh, nothing! Wait a minute, wait a minute, calm down… !”
Until now, YuRia’s psychology has been very unstable, but this time it starts to become unstable in a different way.
“… Oh my goodness?”
Eleanor noticed a subtle air current flowing between Alex and Yuria, who didn’t understand why.
“Whoa…”
Yuria, who took a small deep breath, forcibly calmed the agitation in her chest, and looked at her Eleanor again.
“Even if Alex is to accompany me as my escort… The condition that only members of the royal family can enter those ruins remains unchanged.”
“That premise is a little bit wrong.”
Eleanor shook her head and answered Yuria’s words.
The condition itself hasn’t changed, but since the premise itself was basically wrong, there was still room for digging.
“That barrier rejects all those who do not have royal blood.”
“So only royalty…”
“No. In our distant ancestors, the mother’s family of the Duke of Armitas also has a connection with the ancestors who were the princesses of the royal family, and they are inheriting the blood, even if it is light.”
“Ah… !”
Yuria put on an enlightened expression after hearing the exceptional case mentioned by Eleanor.
True to its word, if the lineage of the royal family continues to Alex and Eleanor, it might be possible to pass through that barrier.
“But… That’s just speculation.”
Yuria was hesitant because she only believed in that hypothesis and let Alex into the entrance of the ruins.
However, she sent her brother to a dangerous place where he might die. She thought that Eleanor was sure of something in her, so she quietly waited for Eleanor’s words.
“It is said that the barrier rejects blood other than royalty, but in fact, the special magic mixed in the blood decides whether to pass or block it.”
That special magical power refers to the divine beast’s magical power that she possessed while stealing the fox orb.
In other words, all of Ortas’ descendants possess the magic of this divine beast, albeit weakly, and this is the reason why Ortas, who robbed the bodies of the crown princes, was able to pass through the ruins and enter the interior.
“My older brother and I have already confirmed that we can pass through that barrier.”
Based on the power of the divine beast provided by the nine-tailed fox, a barrier similar to that of the ruins was reproduced, and a bottle containing Eleanor and Alex’s blood was placed in the barrier to conduct an experiment to confirm the results.
Through the result that there was no problem, Alex was willing to participate in this expedition.
In order not to send Yuria into the Orbis ruins alone.
“I want to go into the ruins with you and help the princess and my brother, but…”
Eleanor, who was maintaining a barrier that supported the general support of the three people in dealing with her ghost, was unable to enter the ruins.
In that respect, Alex’s accompanying doctor is a welcome story.
“And the reason why that person dared to point out the princess… I don’t have to explain, the princess should know it well.”
Eleanor smiled bitterly and stood at a distance, holding onto Helena Hubby’s skirt and seeing Prince Evan hiding behind her.
Eleanor laughed bitterly at Evan’s trembling and hiding her body.
Only two of them, YuRia and Evan, have inherited the blood of the royal family who can enter the ruins here.
Even if you can send a child who is not yet 15 years old to that place, they almost don’t have the fighting power to destroy the fox marbles.
Really regrettable, a situation that only Yuria can do.
“Oh really! I’ll do it! You can do it!”
Yuria closed her eyes tightly and expressed her consent.
She immediately turned her head to look at her mother and her little brother and opened her mouth.
“Mother. Evan. I’ll be back.”
“… I can’t help it.”
Helena Hubie couldn’t bear to dissuade her daughter from her decision.
Queen Diane and Queen Helena, whose mentality had collapsed, were members of the royal family, but they did not actually inherit royal blood.
After hearing Eleanor and Alex’s explanation, she says that her daughter holds the key to overcoming this crisis, but how could she not allow it?
Even the persuasive ones are the duke’s family, who have supported Prince Evan through a relationship of trust for a long time.
“Please… Do not get hurt and come back safely. That’s enough.”
Helena Hubie emphasized strongly, stroking the hair of her little second son, who was clutching the hem of her skirt.
She didn’t want to let the little one go through the bitter experience of losing her sister already.
“Do not worry. Hubby Mama.”
She drew her sword from her belt and said Alex in a determined voice.
“I will protect the princess no matter what.”
“… Please.”
“Who, sister…”
Even in the middle of making an expression full of fear, Evan, who was tearing up at her, poked her head out from behind Helena Houby’s skirt and called out to YuRia.
The little prince, who did not yet fully understand the situation, sent an intuition that his sister was heading to a dangerous place and asked if she should not go.
YuRia grinned as she looked at the 10-year-old little prince who had not yet escaped the arms of her sister and her mother.
“My sister will go and come. Be patient and wait by her mother’s side. Can you?”
“Yes yes…”
I was worried when the hell he would throw off that fragile figure and show a dignified figure as a member of the royal family, but Evan was still a cute younger brother to Yuria.
“Then please.”
“… Eleanor. You know what? You, day by day, become more like that man.”
While talking as if she was giving herself a free choice, the narration that eventually forced and pressured her to make a choice reminded her of Eun-hyeon.
“Because they said they look alike. Thank you for the compliment.”
“I’m not praising you…”
Yuria let out a small sigh and lowered her head.
In the end, she was forced to make this choice, which made her own plight all the more heated.
In order for everyone to survive, Eun-hyeon constantly pushes against Yuria.
Is it to make her take responsibility as the princess of her country, or is she responsible for her wrong ties with being from the same earthlings.
Either way, it was too burdensome and heavy for Yuria herself.
Match!
“You can do it. If.”
Yuria brushed off her pounding chest and slapped her cheeks with both her hands as hard as she could to relieve her tension.
If you’re going to do it, make sure you do it right.
“Alex. Will you really protect me?”
“Of course.”
“All right. Let’s go then!”
The figure of the two men and women who started running toward the entrance of the ruins where Yoho, who was a watchman with all his might, disappeared, came within Eunhyeon’s field of vision and made the corners of his lips smile.
Aww!
It was the same with Yoho who noticed the two men and women running towards the entrance.
I tried to run towards her entrance in order to be faithful to my original role as a watchman.
Eunhyeon and Riod caught up, each one neatly cutting off both front legs of the galloping Yoho.
As if the bowl was broken and the water contained in the bowl flowed down and scattered in all directions, the severed paws lost their shape and returned to blue magic.
Krrr!
Hearing Yoho’s roaring beast, Riod belatedly passed the entrance of the ruins and found Yuria and Alex entering the interior and asked Eunhyeon.
“Once I saw your actions and matched them, but… Did that happen?”
“That’s it.”
Eunhyeon quietly raised her head and muttered as she looked in the direction where Erin and the gumiho were.
“I hope you can achieve the desired ending.”
