Chapter 959 – 959. Direct Death (2)
[How… West!]
Lennie was astonished.
Because the curse surrounding Lexus lost its power and began to disintegrate.
The power of directly interfering with an intangible force that does not have the substance of mass, was an ability that Lenny had never heard of.
Siete’s boast that she would cut the curse down was not a lie.
[Not yet, not yet!]
But Lennie took control of his embarrassment and immediately waved his hand away.
The streams of curses that had begun to spread around suddenly stopped all at once and began to move under Lennie’s control.
The dark energies that made up the curse seeped into the grounds of the royal palace.
The ground where the dead energy had been absorbed began to stir with black smoke.
Was it smoke, or was it a huge swamp? Either way, it was extremely disgusting and terrible just to look at.
Eventually, something jumped out of the huge swamp of morale.
Damn it!
“That… !”
Yuria and Alex, who had been watching the battle between Siete and Lexus from afar, stiffened their faces and were shocked.
It was supposed to be hard ground, but what emerged from what had degenerated into a black swamp was a hand.
Starting with just one, dozens of arms crawled out of the swamp and appeared.
“Queen! “Behind me!”
Alex, who sensed that her situation was taking an unusual turn, immediately took Yuria behind him and protected her.
Dozens of ghouls emerged from the swamp of morale and slowly approached the two.
“Uh, uh…”
Alex drew his sword as he faced the slowly approaching ghouls, muttering something with his cracked and decayed vocal cords that were not functioning properly.
[Hehe, your attack will result in strangling your colleagues… !]
The flow of curse that Siete cut destroyed the vessel that contained it.
Lenny took advantage of the curses that spilled over after the vessel was destroyed and scattered around like water.
“Ghouls… !”
Alex swung his sword at the ghouls that emerged from the swamp of morale created on the floor.
The combat power of the ghouls themselves was not that high.
His actions weren’t that fast, and he didn’t even have the proper defense to block his sword.
But even considering that.
“There are too many numbers… !”
Yuria frowned as she estimated the number of ghouls that kept appearing in the swamp.
“Alex!”
Eventually, Yuria gave a signal, and Alex quickly moved behind her.
[Three-digit sub-magic]
[Blaze]
Alex stepped back and waved his hand toward the front.
The sparks that started from his fingertips spread across the floor and spread out in all directions, turning the ground into a sea of fire.
“Don’t worry about this side!”
Yuria shouted at Siete.
Since she was dealing with the most annoying Death Knight, I couldn’t ask her to pay attention to this.
Rather, she was full of feelings that she wanted to sort out that side first.
Siete was a bodyguard given to her by her Eunhyeon herself, but she had no intention of relying solely on her help.
Besides, if you barely ask her for help with something like this.
‘I don’t deserve the name of being the only disciple who learned magic from the Black Witch… !’
Has there ever been something so embarrassing?
In response to Yuria’s cries coming from afar, Siete spoke to Lexus and the spirit body next to him, Lenny.
“They say so.”
[Pfft… !]
“I’ll finish it quickly. “Because it was an escort that my student personally asked me to do.”
Siete also didn’t want to take the time to the point where it would put a burden on Yuria.
She swung her sword at Laxus without hesitation.
Kaaaaang!
The swords of Siete and Lexus collided head-on.
Due to her curse, Lexus’ sword strike, which boasted solid durability and defense, and Siete’s sword strike, which was able to see the flow through ‘direct death’, created a different aspect from before.
Damn it!
Laxus’ sword surrounding the completed curse shattered in vain.
Siete cut off the stream of curses surrounding her sword.
Soon, Siete’s sword cut through the armor of Laxus, who was defenseless after losing her sword.
[Lexus!]
Leaving aside Lenny’s startled scream, Siete continued to swing her sword.
[Siete Swordsmanship]
[Image plum blossom]
Even if the curse was cut off from the armor that surrounded Laxus, it did not mean that he was completely finished.
What Siete cut down was just one of the many curse streams that made up her armor.
Just as there is not only one blood vessel in the human body that supplies and circulates blood to the heart, the flows that make up his curse were not just one, but dozens.
Siete cut down all the streams of curses.
Swinging his broken sword, he somehow avoids Laxus’ counterattack, and digs deeper into the Death Knight’s arms, unleashing a stream of curses.
The coordination and precision of the movements were so calm and delicate that no one could dare imitate them.
[Not… Okay… !]
Lennie’s screams became louder.
This is because he realized that Lexus’s power was gradually weakening as the curse was broken.
I hurriedly put out my hand and tried to somehow restore the curse by controlling the curses that were scattered in all directions due to Siete’s sword strike.
“No use.”
The curses that had already been cut were scattered in all directions like flowing water and wind.
At the same time, the jet-black armor surrounding Lexus also began to lose its shape.
Laxus’s body, with pale skin due to lack of blood and decaying due to corruption, gradually emerged.
Eventually, Laxus’s body was discovered, the only curse that made it into undead.
Mistletoe’s blade pierced Lexus’ neck.
Puuk
Lexus’s neck, which still had rope marks from hanging, showed no reaction even when the mistletoe blade pierced it.
The feeling of cutting a rotten corpse with no blood left is the worst.
Siete cut the pierced blade to the side.
Lexus’ completely severed head fell off and rolled around on the floor.
[AA AA AA!]
At the same time, Lennie’s mental body also became blurred.
The fact that she faded into obscurity by abandoning her body and becoming a specter that maintained her existence with only her soul meant that she had suffered a huge mental blow.
[Ah, Lexus. Lexus!]
Is it deja vu?
Lennie felt the same way he did when he died.
The image of her own lover, whom she treated so dearly and overflowing with love, hung herself and was hung on her own gallows, overlapping, plunged her heart into an abyss of despair.
[No! No! Now I just need a little more… !]
By further strengthening the completed curse, making his body stronger and more solid than when he was alive, the moment when he could completely wipe out all the remaining nobles and citizens of this country was just around the corner, but there was a feeling of despair that it had been frustrated.
It made her mental body even more agitated.
That’s not all.
She was about to reach out her hand for Lexus’s head, which was lying on the floor.
Siete’s sword swung her sword towards Lenny’s mental body and her hand.
[Aaaaah!]
The ‘flow’ that Siete could see through ‘direct death’ was not only a curse.
The ‘flow’ of everything that exists in this world.
Not only objects that have mass and substance, but also intangible beings that have no form.
Of course, it also included a mental body like the current Lenny, which was just a soul.
[Lexus, Lexus, my Lexus…]
But despite experiencing the terrible pain of having her hand cut off in her spirit form, Lennie continued to reach for her lover’s head, which was lying on the floor.
“I have pity.”
Siete spoke briefly.
Lennie was a villain, she was an enemy, but that may not have been the starting point.
At first, she was also influenced by the ideology of her lover Lexus and devoted herself to the people and the country.
They were born in the wrong era, and the environment and reality surrounding the two lovers were very unfavorable.
So Siete sympathized.
Maybe she too may have faced this reality.
Once again, he felt fortunate and thankful that his student was Eunhyeon.
If it weren’t for Eunhyeon, if it weren’t for him being chosen by the goddess, would he have been able to be resurrected to the Underworld through his wife Erin?
“I pray that your next life will not have such a miserable ending.”
[Lexer…]
Siete completely cut off Lenny’s mental body and destroyed it.
Extinguishing the woman who was the cause of her curse did not make her curse, which was scattered everywhere, disappear.
She is a shaman who can control the flow of this curse in the direction she wants.
Siete cut down all the curses scattered all around her.
“Alex! “You have to hold on!”
“I’m trying, but… !”
Eventually she shifted her gaze to the two men and women who were struggling against dozens of ghouls.
The two’s breathing became increasingly rough, as it was difficult to cope with the endless amount of water coming out of the swamp.
“Hmm.”
Siete swung her sword towards the black swamp filled with dense death energy.
The sticky swamp rising from her bottom seemed to slowly melt and disappear.
As the undead that crawled out from there were cut down all at once, the interior of the palace, which had been filled with a terrible atmosphere, suddenly became quiet.
When the fierce fight ended, the tension that had been maintained for a while was released and Yuria and Alex collapsed on the floor.
“Ha…”
“Whoa…”
Shite approached the two, exhausted and showing signs of fatigue.
“It’s pretty good.”
“Yes?”
Alex looked puzzled by Siete’s words that suddenly praised him.
“It was a sword with quite spirit. “It’s clear that you’ve been training steadily, and you can see that you have the potential to grow further in the future.”
“Ah.”
Alex was surprised to understand her compliment.
Because she never thought she would praise her.
“Why are you doing that?”
Seeing his surprised expression, Siete tilted her head.
Haha… That is… “I never thought that Siete would praise my sword.”
After all, she was the prosecutor who raised Eunhyeon.
I had even heard that her swordsmanship was higher than that of Riod, who is currently known as the strongest knight and swordsman in the kingdom. I was surprised that Siete would praise her sword, as her insight into swordsmanship must have been very high.
“Joy. “You’re surprised by everything.”
Siete made a sour expression and snorted.
His sword was an honest sword that walked the right path, with traces of effort intact, showing the process of growth up until now.
Ignoring it means denying his effort and time.
This is not something I would do as a prosecutor.
Eunhyun is now standing in front of him after seeing the fruits of his efforts, so how can he deny that?
“Please continue to work harder in the future.”
“… Thank you.”
Although he looked exhausted and worn out, Alex smiled and nodded as if he was happy that his sword was evaluated favorably.
Eventually, Siete shifted her gaze to Yuria.
“And you.”
“… Yes?”
When she suddenly called her, Yuria was surprised and answered.
She looked like she was going to faint at any moment, but as soon as she heard Siete’s call, she came to her senses.
It was as if she was dealing with company executives who dared not even look at her.
“Contact your student using that communication crystal ball. “Jump up.”
“Ah yes…”
Yuria nodded her head without realizing it as Shite casually gave her orders.
‘I’m still a queen…’
Of course, she did not want or expect to be treated by the Queen.
This treatment was somewhat complicated to explain.
“Why are you doing that?”
“Oh, it’s nothing…” .”
“Hmm, okay.”
Siete didn’t particularly pay attention to Yuria’s expression, as she had an indescribably complicated feeling.
On the contrary, despite going through this mess, Siete somehow seemed to be in a good mood.
At this time, the only thing on Te’s mind was about her newly opened ‘heart’s eye.’
[Would you like to make a bet? If you cut me down, I will grant you one wish, Master.]
‘… Upstart. ‘You will have to be prepared when we meet this time.’
How dare she take such a bet against herself.
If she is who she is now, she will be able to cut down the absolute defense that Eunhyun has called ‘Aegis’.
Eunhyeon would never have thought that he would be able to reach the realm of immortals and open his mind’s eye so quickly.
How much time and effort did he have to waste in his dreams to open his mind’s eye?
Eunhyeon could not overlook the level of talent that Siete possessed.
What kind of expression will Eunhyeon make when she sees that her mind’s eyes have opened much faster than expected?
I was looking forward to it.
‘It’s a wish…’
What wish should I make?
Isn’t that naturally decided?
