Chapter 687 – 687. Calamity Suppression (1)
In order to grasp the situation and deal with the undead spread throughout Erenium, all the personnel of the temple were mobilized at once.
“Then we go.”
“Are you in such a hurry?”
“I am the father now. I have to deal with it quickly and go see the baby.”
The original plan was to set up a gate and return home immediately after Eleanor’s baptism.
Illyana would have said it was okay, but if she was away for too long, she would definitely feel very sad.
Perhaps because they had been together for a long time even before they became a married couple, she naturally imagined how much she would be squeezed into Eun-hyeon’s head, who was able to penetrate her psychology to some extent.
“… Oh is it?”
Agies put on a sad expression when he heard the realistic and insignificant reason.
She was very uncomfortable with the irritating salting in front of her, but the appearance of her friend, who was living a happy family, was not too bad.
“Then I will go.”
“OK. Well, since I’m with him, it won’t be a big problem, but be careful.”
“Yes.”
Eleanor smiled and nodded her head, apparently delighted by her senior’s concern.
Eunhyeon and Eleanor left the temple, and Aies, who saw them off, entered the main school building again.
“Anies-sama…”
“Why.”
“Are you sure it would be okay if I sent just the two of you?”
It was Alvern who asked Agnes with a voice mixed with concern.
“The temple doesn’t have the capacity to do that right now.”
Regarding the unprecedented emergency that has occurred in Erenium, the entire emergency personnel, including the defense forces guarding the Temple of Vesta, are currently in a state of mobilization to prevent the undead.
Therefore, only apprentice priests and Agnes, who were still inexperienced in external activities including rescue and battle, were guarding the temple main school.
Excluding the inexperienced apprentice priests and apprentice knights, Agies alone was the only force capable of protecting the current temple.
In a way, it was a very reckless arrangement of troops, but the barrier that Anies had spread over the entire main school of the temple was an iron-walled fortress that could not be swayed by tolerable attacks.
In a situation like this where multiple enemies appeared throughout the city, it is an appropriate decision to save more people if the same multiple forces are dispatched to various places than if a single force called Anies moves.
This was Eunhyeon’s proposal, who was only an outsider, but no one in the temple could argue with that efficient judgment.
“But… Miss Eleanor…”
Albertn’s concerns were those of Eleanor, who had no escort.
Eleanor, as the next saint to succeed Agnes, is expected to play the most important role in the temple of Vesta in her future.
Wouldn’t it be a mistake to send him into battle without an escort from a paladin or priest?
“Joy. Were you blind? When did I send Eleanor alone? Eunhyun was with you next to you.”
Hearing Alvern’s concerns, Agies snorted as if he was worried about everything.
Actually, she didn’t care about Eleanor at all.
“… Are you talking about Miss Eleanor’s husband?”
“Okay.”
“Is he great?”
Albern doesn’t know about Eunhyeon.
Although his existence and value have already been proven within the kingdom of Fernias, Eun-hyeon’s name is not yet known even to the faraway sacred kingdom of Erenia.
Externally, I only heard the news that Eleanor, her next saint, had married a certain commoner.
For this reason, Albert had no idea what level Eunhyun’s strength was.
“That guy. You are stronger than me.”
“Yes… ?”
“You. The team members who killed the emperor with me 20 years ago. Know?”
“Yes. Of course.”
Twenty years ago, the story of six heroes who ended the war with the empire that had stained the world with blood in order to create a portal that summoned demons to the underworld was famous.
Not only the sacred country of Erenia, but the entire continent praises the six heroes, and the minstrels make their stories into songs and spread them.
Agies spoke calmly.
“Not only me, but stronger than Riod.”
“I, really?”
Albert was taken aback.
The Riod that Agies is talking about is the knight who leads the Artia Knights of the Kingdom of Pernias.
And he is also the one who holds the honor of being the most powerful knight on the continent at this point.
Recognized by the entire continent, a strong man who is not ashamed of the title of the strongest in name and reality.
It was hard to believe that he was a stronger man than Riod.
Most of all, she couldn’t understand why a man like that hadn’t been noticed until now.
“He died 20 years ago. So it was quiet and unknown to the world.”
“… ?”
“But it was about last year. Suddenly crawled out of the grave He now has four wives and is living very well.”
“…”
Alvern couldn’t understand Agies’ muttering, which was slightly annoyed.
How can a person who has once died come back to life?
He couldn’t accept Agies’ words with the common sense he had.
“You don’t have to worry about Eleanor. As long as that guy is attached, I can’t touch Eleanor’s hair.”
Rather, Eun-hyeon will make a place for Eleanor so that she can make full use of her divine power.
“Rather than worrying about them, you do your job well.”
“… All right.”
Hearing Agnes’ confident words, Albert stopped vomiting.
As she said, the most important thing for her is to faithfully fulfill the role given to her.
◆ ◆ ◆
The first place Eunhyeon took Eleanor to was the top of the clock tower, the highest in Erenium.
People’s screams and roars everywhere that I checked with an open view.
Paladins, priests, and adventurers struggled with the noise of battles that filled the city.
“That…”
What Eleanor saw from the top of the clock tower was something gigantic, condensed with dark morale.
Seeing it exuding an overwhelming presence just by being there, Eleanor hardened her face.
It was because he had never seen an undead that boasted such a gigantic size.
She was so big that she could easily crush the city walls with just one swing of her arm.
And the dark morale that made up the skeleton clearly showed that it was the product of a disaster created after sacrificing the lives of tens of thousands of people.
“… Giant Skeleton.”
Eun-hyeon frowned when she saw the huge skeleton’s upper body, tall enough to easily climb over the castle wall.
“That… Do you know?”
“Know. I’ve had fights before.”
Among the necromancery that Mediah used, there were many disasters that casually summoned such high-ranking undead.
“… Is there That necromancer.”
As far as Eunhyeon knew, only Mediah could summon such a disaster.
It meant that her necromancer, Marius, who took over her necromancer of Mediah and held her as her goddess, was the one who attacked this city.
“…”
Hearing Eunhyun’s guess, Eleanor naturally clenched her fists.
Staring at the giant skeleton with her face mixed with tension and rage, she was thinking of how to defeat the great catastrophe.
“I’m glad though. It is not yet perfect.”
“That… Aren’t you perfect?”
“There is no lower body, only the upper body. It means that we haven’t reached the level where we can completely handle the giant skeleton yet.”
The perfection of the objects summoned by the necromancer varies widely depending on the level of the necromancy used by the summoner.
The fact that Marius only summoned the upper body of the Giant Skeleton meant that he had not yet fully inherited Mediah’s necromancy.
“Media completely summoned those things with her own power alone.”
However, that giant skeleton that Marius supposedly summoned was different.
It was summoned based on the energy extracted from the souls of the dead, rather than her own powers and abilities.
Since the person’s ability was still immature, he summoned it using power drawn from the outside, so the summoned giant skeleton was only implemented in the upper half of the body, not in its perfect form.
“Then, that Medea woman…”
It also means that he has a high level of necromancy so that he can summon a high-ranking undead that can barely be summoned by sacrificing tens of thousands of lives with only his own power.
“Yes.”
She is a witch who erased the concept of ‘death’ from her soul in the first place and became a transcendental being herself.
She doesn’t risk anything to the extent of summoning her high-ranking undead to her.
“…”
Eleanor looked at Eun-hyeon, who was staring at the giant skeleton with an eerie expression, as if recalling her past.
What the hell has he been fighting in the past?
How exhausting and painful the life must have been for a man who had survived such catastrophes with the body and soul of an ordinary human, not a demigod, but with characteristics close to immortality.
I couldn’t quite guess.
Even in this situation where one city could be in danger, Eun-hyeon did not panic and found a breakthrough, perhaps because she had more experience.
“Eleanor. Start.”
Eun-hyeon, who held her lightly and climbed to the top of her clock tower at high speed, gave Eleanor her order as she had pre-determined.
“Yes.”
With her nodded head, Eleanor finally raised her divine powers and raised her prayers to her own goddess, Vesta.
[With my faith, with my faith, I dare to ask my Goddess.]
[Blessed to protect the lambs who believe in you and serve you from the evil that disturbs the world.]
Without a hint of her selflessness, she recites her prayers with her pious and pure her own aspirations.
[I beg my goddess.]
[Vesta’s Blessing]
[Kangshin (降神)]
Eleanor, who escaped from Eun-hyeon’s arms and threw herself into the air, did not fall down and floated in the air.
Her divine power, which flowed from her pious heart, took shape more and more in response to her prayers to the goddess.
Huge wings that scatter white feathers down extend from Eleanor’s back, flapping and supporting her body in the air.
[Eleanor River God]
[Chief Angel Seraphim]
Her spirit, which was born with the desire to ‘save many people’, is filled with sacredness reminiscent of angels, and each pure white feather falling from her wings has divine power.
It heals the wounds of all who touch the white feathers that fall throughout the city, recovers accumulated damage and fatigue, and at the same time purifies and weakens the morale of the undead, who are no different from natural enemies.
For the adventurers, paladins, and priests risking their lives against the undead, it was no different than a miracle performed with the power of the goddess.
And at the center of the miracle, Eun-hyeon summoned her own favorite partner.
“Brunack.”
[OK.]
The distance from the top of the clock tower to the top of the giant skeleton’s upper body was over 10 km, but she was no constraint to Eun-hyeon.
[God’s key to reproduce the myth]
[Summon, Gungnir]
Eunhyeon summoned another spear along with Brunak.
The weapons summoned by Eun-hyeon are those that originally existed in the history or mythology of the past, brought to the present and summoned.
However, the source of the power that composes them is Eunhyeon’s divine power.
In other words, a vessel that has a form is filled with water called divine power.
Eunhyeon maintained its characteristics while getting rid of Gungnir’s vessel that was taking shape.
And that characteristic is infused into Brunak’s spearhead.
The characteristic of Gungnir is that it always hits the target it recognizes with both eyes, regardless of the distance.
Fraudulent corrections that do not exist on normal weapons.
Eun-hyeon, who had successfully completed the reinforcement work of Brunak, who took over the correction, asked about the status of her partner.
“How is it?”
[Hmm, hmm. That’s fine.]
In fact, he was quite taken aback because he hadn’t anticipated his condition, which was not to the point of being okay, but his presence had grown stronger, but Brunak tried to hide his bewilderment.
“Then go.”
[OK.]
Eun-hyeon, whose condition rose to the peak due to the feather effect of the Seraphim created by Eleanor’s strong god, accurately aimed at the giant skeleton’s arm lifted high to destroy the castle wall and the ground and threw the bruenak.
[Bryunak spearmanship]
[Skin Piercing]
Perong!
Making a roar as if the air was exploding, the javelin pierced the giant skeleton’s arm from a distance of over 10 km and exploded.
