Chapter 682 – 682. Disaster Prologue (3)
Erin ran and ran, only keeping her eyes on the front, her goal.
She climbs the walls of the building to minimize obstructive routes and jumps from roof to roof without stopping.
The reason for this was that the closer she got to the target, the closer she felt the aura that grew thicker and thicker.
A chilling sensation that makes the hairs on your body stand on end just by existing.
‘People are dangerous!’
Erin had a hunch that people who were exposed to that fraud were losing their lives one after another.
‘Quickly, more quickly… !’
She put more power into her running legs, creating explosive leg power that boosted her speed even more.
Erin’s speed, accelerated by continuing to contain her efforts to arrive even a second earlier, is like a whirlwind sweeping through her air.
“Aww!”
“Save me!”
Eventually, as the screams of her people approached to the point where she could hear the sensitive ear, Erin immediately raised her magic power.
Blue auras begin to circulate around her Erin’s body, and her fox ears and nine tails of silver form around her waist.
Erin’s judgment was largely correct, as she intuited that something out of the ordinary was happening, even if she felt it only from a distance, and immediately rushed into her poise to unleash her full power.
Seuleung
She pulled her Levante from her waistband and squeezed it tightly with a jaunty metallic sound.
Even in the midst of her sightseeing, where she spends happy times with her Eun-hyeon and Eleanor, she always carries her favorite sword with her, and her habit as an adventurer reminds her of how lucky she is. Do.
‘An unpleasant smell.’
Even if she couldn’t see it with her eyes, her erin’s keen sense told her exactly where the enemies she needed to rule out were.
As much as Erin felt, her morale was disgusting and threatening.
Eventually, Erin, who had reached the place where all the people screamed at her, started her actions without hesitation.
Rather than grasping her situation, her body reacted and moved forward.
Her mind to get rid of that thing, to save people, led her to Erinn’s body.
Stepping on the side wall of her building as a stepping stone, Erin crouched down before falling downwards with the force of her gravity.
She gathered strength in her legs, ready to spring forward at any moment, as if she were warming up for her first run.
Erin, who held her Levantine in a compressed state until just before the spring ricocheted, she clearly aimed at the enemy she was supposed to rule out.
Erin caught sight of a knight in black armor who had already slain one screaming soldier and was about to deal with the remaining ones.
It was a death knight emitting a terrible fraud.
“Hot!”
As soon as she let out a powerful shout, Erin’s body pulled away from her crouching body, and a terrifying leap made with explosive leg power fell to the place where the soldier and the black knight were.
[Galahad Raise Sword]
[Gale Knight]
Erin’s Levantine, which falls like a comet, has acceleration made from leg power and the magical power of a divine beast, so it is a stab with terrifying penetrating power.
The attack, which uses the entire body like a bow and concentrates all the power on the tip of the Levantine’s blade, is the extreme of Erin’s skill, and is both a swordsmanship and a shooting at the same time.
In a brief moment of less than one second, the comet that appeared like light penetrated the neck of the black knight who was fully armored.
Pew!
As soon as Levantein penetrates the black knight’s neck, the magical energy of the divine beast condensed in the blade is released, producing explosive destructive power and inflicting secondary damage.
The fox fire exploded and blew off the neck, so it would have ended here if it was a normal beast or person, but the black knight did not.
“Oh… !?”
Irrespective of whether her neck and head above it burst, Erin stunned and distanced herself from her black knight as she swung her sword in her hand.
She almost cut her around the waist, but she stepped on the black knight’s body with her Levantine inlaid as a stepping stone and jumped backwards to avoid the black knight’s sword attack at a breathtaking distance.
It was the right decision to make a last-ditch evasion made with the ability to cope with the instinct that instantly sensed danger and experience.
Eventually, the area above the neck of the black knight that exploded began to regenerate.
If she was a normal person, it was a neat attack that would have killed her, but Erin, who witnessed the sight of it regenerating casually, hardened her face.
“What, what is it? That… ?”
I knew right away that it was an undead, not a living creature, because of the fraudulent energy that was wrapped around my body, but even an undead would end up like a human if its head was smashed right away, but the black knight in front of me did not.
Seeing the head of the black knight regenerating casually, Erin gnawed her teeth and pondered in her head.
‘There was an entity…’
The feeling of “Cutting” Is certainly left in the hand.
But for some reason, it doesn’t lead to the ending of ‘Knock it down’.
It was terribly uncomfortable and unpleasant.
How the hell am I going to finish off enemies that regenerate even if I smash her head.
But more than that, it is urgent to convey this situation.
Wary of her black knight, Erin spoke to the soldier who sat behind her and looked this way with her dazed face.
“Hurry up and inform the temple of this situation! Hurry!”
“Yes yes… ! Thank you!”
The soldier who came to his senses belatedly and conveyed his thanks ran away in a hurry.
Leaving behind the soldiers who started running toward the temple, Erin shifted her gaze back to her black knight and took a deep breath.
“Whoa…”
Erin pondered over how to defeat the black knight in front of her slowly.
‘Come to think of it…’
She belatedly recalled what she had heard from Eun-hyeon about the black knight who was wrapped in the spirit of death.
A high rank undead named Death Knight.
It is an irrational being created not from the corpse of a human being who has substance, but based on the soul of a strong man.
All armor made of iron has substance and boasts solid defense, but the really tricky thing is that there is no clear substance in the armor.
What exists inside is an aggregate of dark morale made from the souls of strong men who may have made a name for themselves during their lifetime.
In other words, as long as you don’t directly damage the soul that has fallen into the undead, the Death Knight will not fall.
Fortunately, Erin had the means.
‘… Let’s do it.’
It is not at all impossible to overcome this situation if you know how to attack.
Roaring!
Erin increased her purity by infusing more power into her own blue magic, her fox fire, which encircled her Levantine.
The fox fire, the magical power of her divine beast she possesses, is the flame of the divine beast that continues to burn without extinguishing until all her magical powers endowed with her are burned.
In fact, in the past, Erin’s fox fire has special characteristics, to the extent that she did direct damage to Snow Woman, a specter that has no substance but only a spiritual body.
She infused the fox fire with more magic power than usual to increase her purity, and the blue flame changed to a bright silver color.
[Nine-tailed fox unique ability]
[Flame of Purification]
Another technique that Erin, who became more proficient in manipulating the divine beast’s magic through the training of the nine-tailed fox, was able to use it.
Compared to the divine purification of Eleanor or Agies, the white-silver flame may have weak purification ability, but it has a purification effect and high attack power, so it is excellent against undead with combat abilities. Do.
‘Still, I have to finish it quickly.’
It’s probably because it’s higher-purity magical energy than usual, and since the consumption is no joke, it’s not very efficient to continue fighting for a long time while maintaining this flame.
If it’s over, it’s a quick fix.
After completing her preparations, Erin flashed her Death Knight and charged.
It wasn’t as explosive as the first time, but she quickly accelerated, and Erin, who rushed in, aimed at the Death Knight’s neck once again.
Kaaang!
The Death Knight quickly hit Erin’s blade, which rushed at her speed.
But Erin was not shaken.
Usually, all of the undead he had dealt with so far were made from dead bodies and did not have souls.
However, the Death Knight in front of you is an undead made of human souls that have accumulated experience and training in their lifetime.
As it was made from the soul of a swordsman who was strong during his lifetime, it was natural for him to have intelligence.
“Ha!”
Even so, Erin, who did not have the personality to be discouraged, immediately continued her serial attack and pushed the Death Knight.
Even Erin, who had many experiences crossing the line, she had accumulated over the years, so her courage greatly increased.
If there was only a means to defeat the opponent, and the gap between physical ability and skill did not widen, there was no reason to back down.
Caang! Kaaang!
As the swords collided with each other, the shock wave formed as the morale and magic of the Shinsoo mixed together made the air around them tremble.
“Oh… !”
As her combos continued to build and build, it was Erin’s side who was pushed first by the accumulated shock.
It is only natural that the Death Knight, who has infinite stamina and is free from fatigue, has a slight advantage.
Her Erin’s body was pushed slightly behind her as blades collided in succession, surrounded by her Levante and her dark morale.
With the shock still lingering in her trembling Erin’s hand, she squeezed the Levante’s handle tightly in order to evade it.
The Death Knight, who did not miss the moment of hesitation, swung her sword towards her Erin.
But it is the result of her intentionally showing her own chasm and inducing her Death Knight to act, targeting her Erin.
Heo Heo-sil-sil’s strategy using acting and technique, which works because the opponent is an intelligent being, worked well.
She twisted her waist to dodge the blade of her Death Knight, aiming exactly at the area around her own heart, at a breathtaking distance, and dug into the gap.
Erin’s Levantine, wearing silver flames around her defenseless Death Knight’s neck, pierced her with precision.
‘Not yet.’
Erin did not stop there, and put strength into her hand holding the Levantine.
The blade that slashed beneath her cut the Death Knight’s body through her armor.
It doesn’t end with her head exploding like her earlier, but it purifies the Death Knight’s soul with a clear end.
Clap!
As if admitting her own defeat, the Death Knight dropped the sword she had been holding in her hand.
As the dark morale that covered her entire armor faded with the purifying flame created by Erin, the Death Knight’s soul began to regain her freedom little by little.
As the black armor made of her morale gradually melted away, while losing her shape, the Death Knight did not struggle at all.
It was as if she was expressing her gratitude to Erin for freeing her.
Finally, when the morale was completely purified, the Death Knight disappeared as if evaporating, leaving only traces of a fierce battle.
“Haa, it’s hard… !”
As soon as the fight was over, Erin collapsed, slamming her Levantine to the ground.
Perhaps it was because she maintained the flame of purification that consumes her immense mental power and mana for a considerable amount of time, but the fatigue pushed up by her recoil is no joke.
“I want to be praised by Hyuni for doing well…”
The desire to act childishly welled up, but Erin knew very well that she was not in a situation like that right now.
After sitting on her floor for a moment, Erin immediately focused on her own feelings.
She felt the aura of dark morale that occurred simultaneously in various places, but since her body of Erin was only one, the places she could go were limited.
However, this is not the Duchy of Armitas, it is Erenium, where the main school of priests and paladins dedicated to the goddess Vesta is located.
“What will other people do for you?”
With Erin immediately possessing the most threatening morale here, she ran towards the nearest location.
