◈ Episode 647: The Power of the Holy Kingdom (2)
A white prison that can be said to be a symbol of the first inspection city.
Although it may be far inferior compared to Galaharad, the place, which boasted an iron wall reminiscent of a fortress in itself, was half destroyed.
The number of attackers was only 7.
However, more than 100 Holy Knights and prison guards were all suppressed by just 7 people.
It was an unprecedented event that had never occurred in the history of Bretus.
Weeeeeeeee!!!
pop! Puff!
An emergency alarm sounded throughout the city, and white flares exploded in succession in the sky.
The moment the white light shining brighter than the stars in the night sky slowly faded away, the main gate of Galaharad Fortress opened in the distance and troops rushed out.
Alex clicked his tongue.
“Look at them coming at you like a pack of dogs. “You said you sent most of your troops all over the continent, but where are these guys hiding and then popping out?”
“They say they’re wearing pure white clothes, but they move like a cockroach.”
Although the Holy Kingdom of Bretus was almost like an empty house, the number of Holy Knights coming out was definitely not small.
Rather, perhaps because they are the ones guarding the capital, the white coat they wear and the quality of the armor they wear on top are different from those of regular paladins.
A group of Holy Knights moving quickly, wearing white hoods on their heads.
I was wondering what would happen if this side ran away, but when I looked back, I saw the Holy Knights from the first inspection city coming out and surrounding the area.
“They blocked off all the escape routes so we couldn’t escape.”
“It’s annoying.”
Pantos seemed to be in a bad mood, folding his ears and growling.
The Paladins of Bretus thought that they would rescue Ludger from the White Prison and then throw him out.
That judgment really stimulated Pantos’ pride.
“I guess I’ll have to show you what I’ve done properly.”
Pantos relaxed his arms and walked forward.
At that time, the person who stopped Pantos was neither Alex nor Ludger, but Hans.
“what?”
“Let me handle this.”
At Hans’ answer, Pantos looked at Hans’ face with a look of surprise.
It wasn’t just Pantos. The other Owens members also widened their eyes as if they were quite surprised.
“Hans. “Are you okay?”
When Ludger asked, Hans nodded with a shocked expression.
“To be honest, I don’t know.”
“I don’t know much, but you said you would step forward?”
“that day. It seems like something has changed since what happened in Dreamland. What should I say? I have a feeling that I can handle this power a little better. “It’s a feeling that’s hard to describe in words.”
“… … .”
Ludger stared at Hans.
If you think about it, Hans fought quite rationally even after he turned into the monster of Gevodang in Dreamland.
If that experience gave Hans some kind of instinctive realization.
“good night.”
Hans’ expression brightened at Ludger’s acceptance.
Pantos looked reluctant, but when Ludger gave permission, he snorted and took a slight step back.
“Make it clear that my share has been taken away.”
Pantos did not forget to say something to Hans.
Hans no longer knew that this was Pantos’ own version of cheering.
“Of course.”
Ludger opened his mouth towards Hans, who took a step toward the Holy Knights who were quickly closing the distance.
“Hans.”
“what? “Huh?”
Hans quickly grabbed the object that Ludger suddenly threw out of the air.
Hans’ eyes widened as he checked the object in his hand.
“older brother. This… … .”
“I brought this while I was visiting Isla Machina.”
“… … “Oh really.”
Hans let out a hollow laugh as he looked at the wolf spirit’s teeth.
Did you get the spirit beast’s tooth from Isla Machina? Can you say that you brought it while you were there?
I had already heard that something serious had happened on Isla Machina.
In such a situation, I was once again grateful for Ludger’s consideration in bringing these items for me without forgetting them.
“Thank you. “I already had something I wanted to experiment with.”
“It’s an experiment. “You sound quite confident.”
“I’ve never done it before, but for some reason I feel like I can do it.”
Hans took out a tooth from his arms. Then, he lifted it up at the same time as the tooth he had received from Ludger, and stabbed it directly into his palm.
One was the tooth of the guardian beast of the Ulburg family received from Isla Machina.
The other one was from the deer spirit beast I received in the Mysterious Forest.
Two of Youngsu’s teeth.
Hans stabbed it in his palm at the same time.
Change came quickly.
Puhwaak!
White fur grew on Hans’ body, and his body swelled greatly.

Normally, he would have transformed into the form of a deer, but this time it was different.
The snout became longer, teeth grew, and the overall shape changed to that of a wolf running on all fours.
However, the fur remained white, and golden horns that looked like a crown grew on top of the wolf’s head.
The wind blew.
A bluish-colored wind swirled around Hans, who had changed under the influence of the two spirit beasts.
“This… … .”
Violetta, who is more sensitive to the wind than anyone else, muttered in a voice of astonishment.
Awww!!
The wolf’s roar rang out.
The cries went beyond the entire first inspection city and even reached the Paladins approaching from afar.
The Paladins, who were embarrassed by the sound of the wolf, soon resumed their advance as if it didn’t matter.
Hans curled his mouth and grinned as he saw that.
and.
Hans’s appearance disappeared along with a blue afterimage.
* * *
“What was that wolf howl just now?”
“Did an animal live in a place like this?”
“Don’t let your guard down. Since we don’t know what the enemy’s capabilities are, we have to assume that it was the work of an intruder.”
The paladins quickly exchanged information and soon saw a half-ruined white prison.
Some paladins were furious at the sight of the bridgehead where heretics and criminals were captured and put on the execution platform collapsed like a sand castle.
“Intruders. How dare you touch the Holy Kingdom? “I will never forgive you.”
While I was chewing on my anger, a wind blew from somewhere.
“stop.”
The commander at the front sensed something strange and gave an order.
The display of moving paladins stopped at the same time.
“There is something. Everyone be aware of your surroundings… … .”
The commander could not finish his sentence.
Before he could finish speaking, his head was cut off and floating in the air.
Seeing that sight, the pupils of the Holy Knights in the first row shrank.
“command… … !”
The heads of the first row of paladins who were trying to call the commander were cut off.
As if an invisible sharp blade passed horizontally, the heads of nearly 50 Paladins were cut off with their hoods intact.
The severed head had an expression that did not even recognize that it had died.
That’s why what happened just now was so secret and natural.
“Everyone bow down!”
Among the Holy Knights in the second row, some of the quick-witted ones shouted and lowered their heads.
Suddenly!
With a chilling sound of something being cut, the end of the hood was cut off.
‘A hood woven with thread imbued with divine power!’
The cut cross section was smooth, as if it had been cut with a sharp knife, without any misalignment.
“It’s the enemy!”
“Everyone watch your head!”
“I can’t see him! Be careful about hiding!”
The Paladins quickly changed their formation and formed a square.
When the paladins holding the shields chanted holy spells, golden energy rose above the shields and surrounded the surroundings as if protecting them.
An elaborate development like a gear where hundreds of people move as one body.
The Paladins, who were on guard in all directions, were frantically trying to find the culprit of the invisible razor-sharp wind.
Is it because they entered a defensive formation?
The wind that blew like a surprise attack stopped.
Could it be that he ran away?
While some of the paladins were thinking like that, one particularly bright-eyed paladin looked up at the sky.
This was because the amount of blue moonlight pouring in was somehow unusually brighter than usual.
“uh?”
The paladin, looking up into the sky, had no choice but to utter such a sound without realizing it.
A star shining blue in the sky under the moonlight.
It was because the stars were falling towards this direction.
Only after the distance got closer did I realize that it was not a star, but a bombardment made of pure magical energy.
“Everyone defend!”
The paladins at the center chanted sacred spells as the pressure felt from the sky.
Three translucent shields in the shape of a cross rose above the protective shield that protected each formation like a turtle shell.
The blue shooting star that fell above them shattered the shield and fell into the center of the formation, causing an explosion.
Kwaaaaaaaaaa!!!
Even if it was deployed in haste, it is a protection spell that the Paladins worked together to deploy.
It was so easy to destroy it that an explosion of bluish magical power erupted around the center of the explosion and swept away the surrounding area.
What was supposed to be a tight-knit group for defense turned out to be poison.
The explosion devoured the Paladins ravenously.
What was more problematic was that the formation collapsed.
“Check the dead!”
“The injured person should receive treatment immediately! Loosen your formation a little more! “If we come together, the damage will actually be amplified!”
The Paladin at the center of the explosion could not recognize the shape of the corpse, and the Paladins outside were seriously injured but quickly recovered with healing magic.
One of the Paladins’ strengths, their tough vitality, was activated.
Of course, the attacker had no intention of just watching that happen.
Shining stars fell from the sky again.
Although it was smaller than before, the number had increased by more than ten times.
The paladins gritted their teeth and raised their shields at the sight as if all the heavenly bodies in the night sky were collapsing.
Countless rays of blue light pouring from the sky.
It hit the paladins’ protective techniques like a shower, cracking them or shattering them like glass.
A blue flash of light came through the broken gap, hit the ground, and exploded in the shape of a hemisphere.
Although it was small in size, each and every one of them was highly concentrated magical power.
Its power could not be ignored no matter how much it was protected by sacred laws and surrounded by legal instruments.
“Where is the enemy?”
“There it is! “It’s floating in the sky!”
The Paladins discovered a pure white mass flying in the sky.
It was a deer with pure white fur that continued to create spheres of blue magic and bombarded the ground.
“Intercept!”
Even if they were in the sky, the Paladins were not without ways to attack.
Some paladins held golden spears in their hands and took a throwing stance.
The arm muscles, strengthened through long training, bulged, revealing veins.
Shoo shoo shoo!
Golden spears soared into the sky.
Priests who had lined up in the rear and were relatively safe also helped.
Angels made of light blocked the magical bombardment, and a golden chain was shot aimed at the spirit beast floating in the air.
The pure white deer spirit began to dodge by literally stepping on the air.
However, no matter how much he moved, his huge size was not enough to avoid all of these attacks.
Got it.
The moment when everyone thinks like that.
The wind that had stopped for a while blew again.
“uh?”
A secretly blowing blue wind passed by the paladins and priests.
Sigh. Okay.
He passed by lightly, like a person passing by on the street, but each time he did so, his head fell as if he was harvesting.
“W-what! It’s a bastard! “There’s a guy in hiding!”
“Strengthen the defense outside! “The inner formation will catch the deer in the sky first!”
This guy stopped attacking immediately after putting on protective gear.
The moment the Holy Knights gritted their teeth and raised their blood vessels, the shape of a beast appeared through a gap in the blue wind.
It was a wolf with golden horns.
“A wolf?”
Now that I think about it, wasn’t the sound that just rang out like a wolf’s howl?
Kwasik!
The paladin’s thoughts were cut off as the wolf bit his neck.
There was not just one wolf that came out of the blue fog-like wind.
The number alone was over 20.
Twenty giant wolf spirit beasts, each sitting as high as 3 meters, broke through the outer square and entered the center of the formation.
“Stop it! Stop it!”
“These bastards’ attacks don’t work!”
The wolf’s physical attacks did not work.
If you tried to stab it with a sword, mace, or spear, it would penetrate that part as if it were the wind.
Only after hitting with a holy spell did the damage occur, but the formation had already collapsed beyond repair.
Perhaps because he had regained his composure, the blue bombardment that had stopped for a while began again.
“retreat! “Retreat!”
“Everyone get back! “Raise the drawbridge!”
The Holy Knights who crossed the bridge quickly raised the bridge between the waterways.
As a city of water, the waterways here and there were passages, but on the other hand, it was possible to block the enemy’s movement like this.
Phew!
The wolf spirit jumped down the waterway as if laughing at that sight.
The water column caused by the power of the wind rose widely, as if building a wall.
The water column changed direction and became a small local tsunami that swept away the Paladins.
The Holy Knights tried to hold on by strengthening their legs, but their movements were momentarily slow due to the water submerging their ankles.
But it wasn’t a wolf.
The wolf moved through the air and ran with the wind.
The wolf ran.
Delicious fruits fell in droves onto the golden fields.
The harvester harvested the fruit under the moonlight.
