Chapter 689 – 689. Calamity Suppression (3)
In the midst of a childish scuffle, Brunak’s spearhead reacted again and began to move.
Realizing that it was a precursor to her return to her owner, Eun-hyeon, Erin immediately called Brunak.
“… Brunak.”
[Why. What else.]
“Tell Hyun. That necromancer. I cut it in half, but… It’s probably alive.”
[…]
When the story became serious at once, Brunak also took Erin’s words seriously.
[Okay. I will tell you.]
After those words, Brunak returned to Eun-hyeon’s side.
Alone again, Erin stared at the gigantic giant skeleton that had collapsed.
Eun-hyeon managed to defeat her, but somehow, this was a high-ranking undead made of fraud extracted from the soul of the dead who were human.
If left unattended, death qi might come out and eat away at the entire city.
Erin used her purifying spark again, bringing her hand close to the shattered skull of her giant skeleton.
The flame of purification that moved to the skull soon spread to the entire upper body, burning all the dark morale and purifying it.
“Eww… Let’s take a break…”
Erin, her tension released, sat down on the floor, leaning against the wall in the corner.
-I am in love with you.
Suddenly, the confession Marius had made came to her mind and made her whole body tremble.
Every time I think of the necromancer’s affectionate words, I get goosebumps and annoyance.
“Haa, I want to be praised by Hyuni for working hard…”
Erin, who wanted this situation to end as soon as she lay on her bed and smell her husband’s scent, let out a sigh of relief.
◆ ◆ ◆
Eun-hyeon landed on the ground, catching Eleanor’s body as it fell from her air.
“Are you okay?”
“Sure.”
Eleanor laughed and rested her head on her silver chest.
I said that, but the headache that was transmitted to my head due to the reaction of the spirits was no joke.
“If it’s hard, don’t overdo it.”
“No. Are you okay. And… You can use it one more time.”
On the way, she left the energy to use the strong god once again.
Eleanor, who prepared for her unforeseen contingencies, still had a lot of her divine power.
“… Okay.”
Eunhyeon did not stop her actions.
It is because of her sense of mission to save people and protect the temple from the unprecedented undead attack on Erenium.
Soon, Bryunak, which Eunhyeon had thrown as a javelin, responded to her call and returned to her Eunhyeon’s hand.
[Hey. Your fox girl has something to say.]
“… Did you fight again?”
Eun-hyeon was able to notice what had happened between the two of them in Brunach’s tone of nonchalant tone.
[Ah, okay. Him than that. I killed the necromancer.]
“However?”
[I killed it, but it doesn’t feel like I killed it.]
“…”
Eunhyun looked around her.
Looking at the paladins and priests struggling to clear out the undead, he pondered what Erin had said.
“Are you really dead?”
Like Eunhyeon, Eleanor, who had similar questions, asked.
“Probably not.”
Certainly, if the necromancer died, this large-scale undead he summoned should also disappear, but the undead are still running around the city.
If so, it probably meant that the necromancer somehow escaped Erinn and was hiding in the city.
‘What is the purpose?’
If the purpose was to destroy the entire city, it would have been strategically appropriate to concentrate the strongest forces in one place.
If the synergy of the belated response of the temple and the horde of the undead, which was completely unexpected that the defense barrier would be lifted in such vain, at least wiping out one section of the city would not have been a problem.
However, the necromancer did not gather his Undead at one point and attacked them, but instead made the Undead appear widely all over the city.
It could have been to procure a large amount of corpses, but what was bothering me was that the soldiers of the temple were dispatched all over the city to deal with the undead.
The current temple, which has mobilized not only the guards guarding the temple, but also emergency troops, is in the most lax state of security.
“… Is his purpose the main school of the Temple of Vesta?”
“That…”
Eleanor, who heard Eunhyun’s guess reached her head, asked back with a surprised expression.
She was too convincing to argue that it couldn’t be.
“Let’s focus on dealing with the undead.”
However, rather than supporting the temple, Eunhyeon decided to focus on helping the paladins and priests to clear up the undead spread all over the city.
“Yes.”
Eleanor did not express any dissatisfaction with Eunhyun’s decision.
‘Because Niez is in the temple right now. There won’t be any big problems.’
Her realistic judgment to put her top priority on reducing human casualties and her firm belief in her Anies who will be alone guarding her main temple make her not hesitate.
“Then let’s move.”
“All right.”
“Can you come after me?”
At Eunhyeon’s concern, Eleanor responded with a smile.
“I am your wife. It’s natural.”
Her answer was so confident that it made her smile.
“Okay.”
Eventually, staring at the undead fighting with the paladins from the front, Eunhyeon summoned a part of her soul.
The two swords held in her hands were originally swords that emitted red and blue lights, but they were newly born by accepting the divine powers of herself and Belldandi.
The two twin swords emitting brilliant gold and silver light trembled as if to show off their presence.
“Guys. I wish you well.”
[Huh! Dad!]
[Yes.]
The two daughters who were born to Belldandy and herself responded to the request of their owner and parent, Eun-hyeon, vigorously.
Eun-hyeon’s eyes sharpened as she put strength into her hands gripping his handle.
[Eunhyeon’s Unique Ability]
[Time Acceleration]
[Accident acceleration]
Accelerates and maximizes the body’s abilities, and scatters magical energy in all directions to locate landmarks and the undead.
The amount of information collected in the head is an enormous amount that can cause overload and burn the brain if done wrong.
However, perhaps because of his improved thinking ability, he was able to organize the huge amount of information one after another without much difficulty.
Location of undead and temple troops.
Calculation of the most efficient optimal route.
The level of thinking that has reached the level of priorities and efficiency in order is dozens of times that of ordinary people.
It took less than a second to complete the thought.
[Goddess. Please give me the blessing to protect my companion.]
[Vesta’s Blessing]
[Haste]
[Divine Protect]
The blessing with enormous divine power is a blessing for only one person, manifested at the end of Eleanor’s prayer.
“Follow me.”
“Yes!”
Feeling the divine energy filling her entire body, Eun-hyeon immediately took action.
“Kuh… !”
The paladin who was cutting down the undead one after another groaned softly.
Even if you cut down, there is no end.
Even if he cuts his arms, stabs his stomach, and cuts his throat, the dead will not care and attack the living.
The more the fight went on, the more it felt like his blood was drying up and the energy he had was being taken away.
Eventually, as the paladin swung his sword at the endless undead, he lost his center of gravity and stumbled.
“Ugh!?”
A gap that had been seen for a very short time came as a fatal mistake, and a group of undead attacked the paladin all at once.
[Siete Swordsmanship]
[Maehwa Zen]
Starting with the arm of the undead that stretched out toward the paladin, her face and other bodies of the undead were all sliced off.
“Uh… ?”
The paladin, who belatedly noticed the solid lines drawn around the necks of the undead as he sliced through the wind, widened his eyes and was taken aback.
The torso of the undead, clinging persistently in overwhelming numbers, fell thickly and rolled on the ground, like fruit falling from a tree.
Even though the paladin witnessed the sight of dozens of undead being slaughtered in front of his eyes, he did not realize what had happened.
The paladin, who showed a gap due to the fatal mistake of sitting down on the floor with his legs staggered, forgot his own experience of experiencing death so far and looked up at him in a daze.
“You guys…”
Soon after, the paladin murmured as he saw Eunhyeon, who suddenly entered the battlefield.
The face of Eleanor, his next saint, has already become famous among the paladin and his priests.
If so, it didn’t take long for them to notice that the silver-haired man holding two special swords shining brightly in gold and silver was Eleanor’s husband.
“Thank you for your help!”
The paladin hurriedly came to his senses, raised his body and bowed his back.
Hearing the paladin’s words of gratitude, Eunhyeon didn’t care and pointed the blade of the moon towards the undead.
Soon after, the figure of Eunhyeon, who disappeared immediately, appeared at the place where the undead were pointing at Geumwol.
“Unbelievable…”
The paladin was astonished at the sight of him quickly accelerating to the enemy and swinging his sword.
Explosive speed is also speed, but what makes the paladin astonished is the swordsmanship Eunhyeon is using.
A single sword strike that cleanly splits the torso of the undead.
And the sight of the countless undead corpses being piled up one after another seems to show the heroic story of a swordsman who is in a far-off place that he can’t possibly catch up with.
“Are you okay?”
As the paladin looked at Eun-hyeon, who was slaughtering her undead, in a state of fascination, forgetting her own duty, her gentle female voice awakened the paladin’s spirit.
Turning her head and looking in the direction the voice came from, the paladin found the woman speaking to her.
It was Eleanor who followed Eun-hyeon while assisting him.
“Eh, Miss Eleanor!?”
Although he had only seen her face from a distance, the next saintess, who had never mixed her words before, was talking to him, sparking the dazed paladin’s spirit.
Seeing her paladin hurriedly raising her body and checking her equipment and condition, Eleanor gave a small smile.
“You don’t appear to have suffered any serious trauma.”
A bright light emanated from Eleanor’s hand and seeped into her paladin’s chest.
[Vesta’s Blessing]
[Cure]
The paladin, who had experienced the miracle of completely recovering her body, which had been fatigued and generally tired, stiffened her body without realizing it.
‘This… Blessing of the saintess.’
Compared to other priests, his divine power and the prayers that emerge from it are also on a different level.
“Thank you. Then I will go to support elsewhere.”
“Yes. Please.”
With Eleanor’s blessing, the paladin, whose condition was completely restored, immediately ran to go to another place to support.
‘Me too… Could it be like that?’
In the head of the paladin running around the city, Eun-hyeon’s sword attack that she showed earlier was not forgotten in her mind.
Although they were swordsmanship seen in a very brief moment, their power as well as their fast and sophisticated swordsmanship aroused longing in the paladin’s heart.

“I almost got into trouble.”
Marius, who freed himself from his possession using fraudulent energy, let out a small breath similar to relief and laughed.
The experience of almost dying because I was distracted by a long-range attack from somewhere along with a sudden miracle of divinity can only be explained with the expression that it is really creepy.
“Kuk-kuk.”
When she touched her own shoulder, it seemed like she could feel the pain and vividness of Erin’s swordsman’s sword, which cut in an oblique line from her shoulder to her waist.
If she hadn’t hurriedly possessed her corpse’s soul, which was made up of death energy, her own soul would have been purified by Erinn’s flame along with that corpse.
It was a fear that I had never felt before.
When she thinks of the woman who gave her the fear that she might really die, her heart won’t stop beating.
“This is love…”
Feeling the emotion he had first realized, Marius felt an indescribable, intense joy.
“It’s really difficult.”
Marius smiled as he thought of Erin, who filled his head and did not disappear.
Those beautiful eyes full of anger and hostility stemming from a sense of justice.
Dark blue hair blowing in the wind in a space full of death.
A noble and beautiful figure wielding a rapier.
From one to ten, I want to have everything of the existence of Erinn.
It was the first time he realized that he was a person with such strong desires, and he felt uncomfortable.
It was because he felt an instinctive hunch that if he continued like this, his grand plan to summon his goddess, Mediah, might be disrupted.
However, Marius’ mind was full of Erinn’s image to the extent that she wanted to throw away her own sense of mission bestowed upon her by her goddess.
“Want to have… I want to kill…”
She wants to keep her soul by her own all her life.
Marius smiled with a happy thought.
