Chapter 423 – Chapter 43
Wow!
Unlike the outside, which is covered in blood and flesh, the inside of the palace is clean and luxurious.
However, that place too was being destroyed due to one man’s rampage.
“You need to prepare for the enemy’s sabotage! Do I need to tell you about this one by one?”
Kang Myeong-cheol, who destroyed a country located in the western region, used the royal castle and enjoyed royal luxury.
However, as terrorism by an unknown enemy continued and the expansion of his power was hindered, he became irritable.
“Hmm… Anyway, it’s a bit strange to be so helpless.”
Morrison also predicted that terrorism would be carried out, either by the Guardians or the Resistance, and that some of them would be successful.
However, the fact that all terrorist attacks carried out by the enemy are successful means that the enemy has weapons that our troops cannot anticipate.
“Let’s come up with a plan among ourselves…”
“It’s them! Kaicent! That damn brat must be working with the Guardian Corps to hinder me!”
Kang Myeong-cheol answered correctly in one go.
He senses the ‘malice’ directed at him quicker than anyone else.
“Gather the soldiers! This time, with proper elites! I’ll crush them, so they can never do tricks like this again!”
“That’s not possible.”
“That’s right. We haven’t taken care of all the enemies in front of us yet.”
Everyone countered his command with common sense.
However, Kang Myeong-cheol, who was acting unreasonably, did not have common sense.
“Shut up! You just need to fill up your troops! I’ll take care of the rest!”
I gained new strength and became more confident.
As he was contemplating when to kill Kaicent, who had humiliated him with this power, he made the worst decision as the leader of a faction.
‘Morrison!’
‘Do it somehow!’
The ‘vessel’ must not be damaged here.
What is the reason they came all the way from deep in the mountains?
The concentration of pollution that the Guardian Corps talks about, and the act called terraforming by the foreign media union, could be done at any time.
All it takes is time and effort to sacrifice countless living creatures, use their vitality to accept God’s call, and transform this world into a world similar to their own.
In the past, a foreign religious order almost succeeded in terraforming, but was ultimately destroyed by the Guardian Corps.
But it’s different now.
A perfect vessel, a dimensional wall that is weakening for unknown reasons, and themselves who have gathered resources for this day.
This is the only opportunity where these three elements are perfectly harmonized.
However, the bowl is running wild without knowing the subject.
‘I’m stronger than before, but that’s it. If they fight against each other, they will be crushed.’
Now we need to focus on expanding our power.
Enemies are trying to sabotage you, but if you sacrifice more lives and focus on terraforming, you will receive their own power and gifts from God.
“I understand.”
But Morrison made the opposite decision.
“Good! As expected, Morrison is a good communicator!”
“However, if we gather troops right away, the defense of the territory we have gained will be weak. If that happens, the resistance will regroup again and go on the offensive.”
“Hmm… That’s difficult.”
“We have two options. Gather all our troops and attack the Kingdom of LucyArcanel. After stably expanding our power, produce troops and attack.”
The first is selling the future to buy the present, and the second takes time.
‘I can’t do that shit to gain my power and territory again!’
I want to choose the first option, but I don’t want to give up my current comfortable and luxurious life.
In the end, he chose the second.
“How long does it take to produce troops?”
“We need another month.”
“I understand. Prepare your troops by then.”
With those words, Kang Myeong-cheol kicked out the door.
“Who is criticizing whom for incompetence?”
“I understand why Celestine tried to kill that person.”
Because of her origins as a descendant of God, Celestine was half involved in the foreign media alliance.
Therefore, her peaceful nature was not welcomed by the foreign media union, but it was acknowledged that she was a person of character who was unaware of betrayal and tried to protect the weak.
Day by day, she realizes the reason for her betrayal.
That person is a seed who should never be above anyone.
“It is important for livestock to eat well and sleep well before leaving behind meat and skin.”
Morrison, who always treated Kang Myeong-cheol with a kind face, got to the point with a cold smile.
“But why did you accept that person’s unreasonable request?”
“Because there is no point in persuading with straight arguments.”
Kang Myeong-cheol moves with emotion rather than reason.
No matter how right the path is, if it doesn’t suit them, they will unconditionally reject it.
Therefore, it is suitable as a ‘vessel’, but now that part has become a problem.
“But wouldn’t it be a big deal if you went to battle and got killed?”
“Once you give him time, his anger will subside somewhat. Then, you have to give him many reasons to dissuade him from fighting.”
Now, no words can stop Kang Myeong-cheol from being angry at Kaicent.
“Rather, let’s focus on sabotaging the enemy.”
The Guardian Corps is weakening the power of the Foreign Alliance by exploding prisoner camps and purifying them with divine artifacts.
“They don’t even rescue prisoners. I don’t like it, but it’s efficient.”
“Tsk. Bloodline, I should have captured that person.”
“He is not someone who will cooperate with us obediently. For now, let us be content with improving this technology in our own way.”
The prisoners are used as offerings to the gods, and the remaining corpses are having their body’s talents absorbed through blood vessel technology.
Thanks to this, not only Kang Myeong-cheol but also the warriors of the church are growing.
“First, let’s analyze the enemy’s attack method.”
“It was mostly the same content.”
After analyzing how the enemy’s attack was carried out, the Foreign Press Association began to prepare its own way to respond.
* * * * * *
Quad–
“Haaa!”
“Khaaab!”
A vacant lot with no people.
There, Akina and Bealderin were fighting each other to the death.
A powerful magical power is swirling around the two, enough to distort the space.
However, other than the shock wave from the two people’s weapons colliding, the damage to the surroundings was not that great.
There is one reason.
As the ability to control magic power has improved, it has become possible to use the magic power that was unnecessarily overflowing more efficiently.
If they are efficient and unleash their power, the surrounding area will be devastated, and the terrain will change.
Kwasik! Kwazijic!
Every time the two people’s weapons collide, a bursting sound erupts as if the world is collapsing.
“Whoosh! Whoosh!”
Haha! For a human to live like that! That’s amazing!”
It’s clearly a sparring match, but Akina is having an intense life.
I hope to live in such a way that even onlookers feel a stinging sensation, as if I am facing my parents’ enemy.
‘How dare you! To the West!!’
After the war ended, Akina learned that Kaicent was almost killed by Bealderin.
Charlize, who led Bealderin to the battlefield, deliberately did not speak out because she was worried that internal strife would break out.
If the truth had been told there, Akina would have rolled her eyes and attacked Bealderin, who was laying waste to the Confederate army.
And, it is now showing that her concerns were not exaggerated.
“Huh!!”
She begins to exert all her magical power to truly kill her.
The space around the window distorts, and small stones float around her as if in weightlessness.
Akina was furious when she belatedly found out the truth.
She tried to find Berderin right away, but thanks to Charlize, who had predicted this trend, Kaycent personally persuaded her, so it did not lead to a disaster.
However, the anger she was feeling did not completely disappear.
And now, the anger that had been building up until now burst out.
“Die!!”
Magical power explodes, and hundreds of blue-colored spears burst out like Cremore.
A spear made of magical power.
‘Weak.’
Although the number is large, the power of each piece is enough to defeat even an experienced knight.
As Bealderin lightly swung her great sword, as if shaking off dust, the magic spears at her forefront disappeared.
‘Disappeared.’
After disposing of the part of the magic spear that was blocking his vision, Bealderin realized that Akina had disappeared.
When he raised his gaze in response to her death, he spotted her figure jumping on top of his own head.
“Did you think a trick like this would work?”
Bealderin cut down Akina’s body, ignoring whether her magic spear penetrated her body.
However, the great sword cut Akina apart without any resistance.
‘Afterimage!’
It was created with strong magic power and intention, leading to the illusion that it was real.
Bealderin quickly turned his gaze to find Akina, ignoring the tingling sensation of her magic spear piercing through her body.
“Aaaaah!!”
The real Akina was back in her original place.
It was a reversal of the stereotype that since it created an afterimage and disappeared, there would be a surprise attack.
Unlike his usual spirit, his voice seemed to be screaming.
She was pouring every last drop of her magic into her spear.
Kwahaaaaa—-!
‘Throwing a javelin!?’
Surprisingly, the number of conversions Akina chose was the javelin.
Objector Bealderin, who noticed her presence late, thought it was too late to dodge and swung her great sword in return.
Kwasik! Kwa-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga—!
The lance that Akina sent out with all her power did not bounce back even though it collided with her great sword, causing Bealderin to be pushed behind her.
A small show of force against the Jute tribe only accumulates damage.
You have to take advantage of the gap and unleash the power of a single strike.
Of course, Akina chose her best option to kill Bealderin sincerely.
“Sigh!”
If you are a strong player of the same origin, any choice other than evasion is the wrong answer.
However, Baelderin’s arm muscles swelled, and she used even stronger physical force, destroying Akina’s lance.
Puffuppuck!
When her lance was destroyed, some of her fragments became embedded in her face and body, but she easily pulled them out, showing that she was still alive.
Haha! It’s funny, you! I’ve never seen anyone push me this far among humans!”
“Haaaaa… Haaaaa…”
“You drew out your magic power until you were exhausted? That’s right, you have to do that to beat me! It’s better than those guys who play around with their clumsy brains!”
Bealderin praised Akina in a cheerful voice even though she sensed that her opponent was trying to kill her with all her heart.
However, Akina was so angry at not being able to kill her that she shed a tear.
“Next time… It won’t end like this…”
“I’m not looking forward to it, Akina Karaiden.”
Bealderin smiled, hoping that Akina would become stronger than she is now.
“Akina, are you okay?”
“West…”
At that time, among the crowd watching the two sparring, Kaicent rushed out and checked Akina’s condition.
Fortunately, there were no major problems other than magical exhaustion.
“I told you not to overdo it because you have a child.”
“I’m sorry… But… I was so angry…”
Kaicent helped her Akina to a place where she could rest.
“… Tch.”
Bealderin, seeing this, felt a strange sense of discomfort.
‘What? I have more wounds.’
The other person was exhausted, but he had lance fragments stuck in his body, creating holes here and there.
Of course, if she applies this much to the Hwang Demon family, her wounds will heal quickly, but she is also a woman…
‘For a moment. What did I just say?’
She is feeling sad now.
Because she wasn’t taken care of even though she was hurt.
Because she doesn’t treat me like a woman.
‘Crazy… ! What am I thinking now!’
Bealderin huffed and headed to the training ground.
“Hey! A piece of scrap metal!”
-This is Artemis. Calling someone’s name is basic courtesy…-
“You probably repaired the scrap metal I broke, right? Get it out right away!”
She shouted at the machine that had once made her feel threatened.
A powerful enemy who made you feel thrilled because he had the same size and strength as you and used strange weapons.
-You were smiling happily just a moment ago, but why did you suddenly feel bad?-
“Shut up! Bring it out quickly!”
Bealderin has lived the life of a Jute tribe, fighting and fighting with men and women alike.
However, thanks to Kaicent, I learned about the happiness and life that only women can feel.
‘I’m slowly gaining feelings for women.’
When she found out that she was a woman, Bealderin felt angry at Kaicent for thinking of other women first.
‘And over there too.’
Likewise, Jin Su-ah also seemed to have developed feelings for women, and had a complicated expression on Kaicent’s gentle treatment of other women, including Akina.
‘It seems like it will collapse quickly if any chance arises, but the owner will take care of that.’
She knew that if she were there to push her, she would break down even faster, but she had no intention of doing that.
Because watching intelligent beings express these emotions was the joy of life.
