MEMORIZE Chapter 453

00453 Forgotten Heroes. ————————————————– ———————-=

Hwaaaaaaa!

For a moment, an optical illusion occurred where light colored the entire world.

The deceased seemed to react slightly in resistance at first, but gradually began to accept the warm light that enveloped their bodies. Then, a white light was seen slowly seeping and spreading through the bodies of the dead people, which were covered in black energy.

Suddenly, a harsh wind blew into the central square from all directions. I brushed aside my wildly fluttering hair and quietly looked around.

The light that colored the bodies of the dead was already flowing from the outside to the inside. no. Is it correct to say that you have to be sucked in? Just like a thirsty person drinking water, the dead seemed to be quenching their thirst by frantically absorbing light.

And at some point, change began.

The gloomy energy that had been flowing through the skeletons had long since disappeared. As the light was accepted, the skeleton’s appearance gradually became fainter.

New flesh forms where only bones remained, and on top of that, old and rusted equipment regains its original neat appearance.

Even the skull had regained its original appearance, and not only the face but also the hair was growing. The dead people, who had been nothing but skeletons until a moment ago, had transformed into human beings. It’s like turning back time.

After a while, the angel and the light disappeared simultaneously. Around the area where the light subsided, there were dead people, or rather humans, standing with a lingering glow of light flowing through their entire bodies.

Of course, I don’t think those people are really living people. That is definitely a soul. However, I felt an incomparably clean and holy energy, and it seemed as if my dark, cursed soul had been completely purified.

“That… . “What happened?”

Heo Jun-young scolded in a dazed voice. But no one could answer. Not only us, but also souls everywhere seemed dazed right now. Looking at each other and themselves, they seem to be very surprised by the current situation.

I calmly looked back at Ansol. Since he realized a miracle by activating his unique ability, it was thought that Ansol would know the circumstances.

It was then.

“Brother! help!”

That’s right, that’s right, that’s right!

A trembling howl was heard in the air along with Ansol’s urgent cry. When I reflexively looked up at the sky, I saw the Bone Dragon, who had completely recovered.

‘Is he not finished yet?’

I had my doubts at first, but then I realized that it might be the case.

Ansol’s miracle only worked on the dead. And the horns on the bone dragon’s skull. That, if my eyes are not mistaken, is clearly the horn of a demon.

I don’t know why that guy has demon horns on his head. However, even if Ansol’s miracle had an effect, that horn is not related to this place, so it is possible that it was excluded from the activation target.

‘Nothing is certain, but… .’

Before I knew it, I could see the sky slowly turning black. At the same time, an unexpected feeling of anxiety came over her entire body. A ferocious and unusual energy is gathering together.

I quietly closed my eyes and felt this energy.

It is infinitely ominous and hideous. There is no other way to express it other than that.

However, this energy that is unfamiliar yet somehow familiar… .

okay. It feels similar to a curse. I don’t know the details, but it seemed like the guy was very unhappy with this situation and was preparing another type of attack.

I quietly opened my closed eyes. And, looking at Ansol who didn’t know what to do, he calmly opened his mouth.

“okay… . “What can I do?”

As soon as he spoke, a ray of unfamiliarity flashed across Ansol’s restless face. Not only Ansol, but also the clan members around him could be heard shouting in vain.

Of all the slanders against the Mercenary Clan that have been pointed out so far, the only one I recognize is the article that pointed out the limitations of the centralized clan.

In other words, all authority and power are concentrated solely on me. The clan itself runs unconditionally through me, so it is a clan that collapses when I am away. I was denying it on the outside, but since a similar incident occurred this time, I had nothing to say.

However, this is the first time the authority has been turned over. It wasn’t just advice, it was a promise to give a choice and follow Ansol’s words.

Ansol seemed to feel burdened by this situation for a moment, but then bit his lip. She then pointed to the sky with her eyes shining brightly.

“That… . Please stop that! “They can’t stop that curse with the wishes of great heroes!”

The lumpy black energy that had suddenly gathered covered the sky, casting a dark shadow. The occasional ripples seemed to be like waves about to crash, but there were sparks flying every now and then. It’s like watching the waves of chlorine rippling.

Anyway, it is the wish of a great hero.

Now that I think about it, the souls’ reactions are definitely strange. After regaining her original appearance, the expression on her face is clearly visible. She had been fighting the dragon to the death just a moment ago, but now she was showing signs of pride.

As expected, I had the feeling that Ansol knew something I didn’t know, but I immediately gave up the thought. The situation seemed too urgent to ask many questions.

So, I quietly opened my mouth.

“and?”

“… yes?”

“Block that one. and?”

“Ma, are you able to block it?”

A very surprised voice.

It is possible if fire is mixed with that energy. As he calmly nods his head, Ansol’s neck slowly moves.

“Well, I wish you could help them. “Please join forces and defeat that evil dragon.”

“i get it.”

After answering right away, I quickly turned to my clan members.

“Everyone must have heard Ansol’s words. If I block that attack, or rather the curse, you can join forces with the spirits here to attack the dragon.”

“Clan Lord. Is there a way to stop it… .”

Did I get the hang of it? At first glance, Shin Jae-ryong asked in a worried tone and I glanced at him.

“it’s okay. By the way, how many bottles of elixir did we bring in total?”

“Two bottles.”

That’s it. Hangyeol has already been saved. So, even if I use one bottle in an emergency, I still have one bottle left to use for Anhyun.

Growling!

At that time, a huge roar resembling a thunderclap echoed through the sky.

I quickly spoke to Hwajeong. Can you do it?

-You can do it… . It might be a little difficult.

Hwajeong responded immediately. However, her words were somehow ambiguous.

Is that dragon’s power difficult for even you to block?

– No, you idiot! It’s a curse so big that it will stain the entire area, and if you embrace it all, your body may not be able to withstand it!

If so, I guess you can do it anyway. I calmly sheathed the sword. He moved his arms and raised his hands toward the sky.

And, finally, let’s look up at the sky.

That’s right, that’s right, that’s right!

I could see a huge curtain falling from the sky with a dragon’s roar. It was just as Hwajeong warned. As if a curtain had been dropped from above, a blazing curtain covers the sky and flows down.

As more and more agitation began to flow among the souls, I calmly caught my breath.

‘I guess I’ll give it an ancient order.’

After calming down like that, I immediately unleashed the power inherent in my heart.

“Declaration of territory!”

Good luck! Grumble!

At the same time as the territory was declared, a hemispherical curtain spread out from the air and fell over the area. The scope is all souls, including me and my clan members.

Boom!

Soon, a film of clear flame, like an upside-down glass bowl, neatly cut through the bottom and completely settled down. At the same time, the curtain flowing from the sky passed through the realm of Hwajeong without any hindrance.

“Oh, brother!”

“Clan Lord!”

A scream mixed with lament hit my ears. I guess they thought I couldn’t block it because the attack passed right through the area.

I wanted to give at least a little explanation, but I couldn’t.

To be honest, I was also a little confused, but it was something that couldn’t be defined by general magic. The purpose is not only to harm the opponent, but also to influence and entangle the entire area, which is nothing short of a disaster.

‘Keuuup, keueuup!’

I screamed fiercely inside as the pressure pressed down on my entire body.

Never before had such a large-scale area been declared, and more than anything, the power and amount coming through were all no joke. It feels like I’m holding up a collapsing high-rise building with my hands. It was truly a terrifying energy.

Of course, Hwajeong is of higher rank. Hwajeong was steadily encroaching on the falling curtain, but the speed at which it was moving in was much faster.

‘If it continues like this… !’

Although the speed has slowed significantly compared to the first time, if it continues in this state, the cursed energy will reach the souls before it can eat up all the energy.

If that happens, things will eventually go back. The soul will become cursed again and wander these mountains, and Ansol’s miracle will be in vain.

‘You can’t do that!’

That was the moment I thought about it.

‘… uh?’

Suddenly, the scope of the declared area began to narrow. Just when I didn’t know what was going on, I heard Hwajeong’s voice inside.

– I shortened it. Now, those souls have realized that you are protecting them, and they are flocking towards you one after another. Since the scope of protection is reduced that much, there will be some leeway.

is it. Was it so? I definitely felt the presence of someone slowly approaching around me. I barely lowered my gaze and looked at my surroundings.

The presence was, as Hwajeong said, spirits.

Only then did I feel that hundreds or thousands of eyes were looking at me from everywhere. Each and every one of them had earnestness in their eyes.

As the range decreased in all directions, there was some room to spare.

But before I knew it, the black energy had come down to just above my head. The moment a warm energy settled down around my neck, I once again exploded with the power of Hwajeong.

thud!

And at that moment, the energy miraculously stopped.

It was almost at the end, but it finally succeeded in stopping.

But it doesn’t end here. It just stopped. Ansol asked me to stop it, but I planned to make the most of this opportunity.

I clenched my teeth. And after taking a moment to catch his breath, he unleashed all his remaining potential and screamed with all his might.

“Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

I burst out with the power of fire as if I was grabbing the edge of a carpet and spreading it out with all my might.

Then, as if a red carpet had been rolled out, Hwajeong began to rise up at once.

If the Bone Dragon dropped a curtain from the sky to the earth, this time I eroded the energy with the power of fire spirit and returned the energy from the earth to the sky.

Dazzlingly clear fireworks colored the sky. The sky, which had been falling endlessly, rises again.

I blinked once, and before I knew it, I saw clear fireworks overflowing in the sky that had turned completely black. For some reason, I can feel a calm rhythm from the ripples spreading from all directions.

With this, the energy that entered the area was completely under my control.

I took a deep breath and shouted to the Bone Dragon floating in the distance.

‘Go back, cover!’

The fiery badge that was suspended in the air began to rise violently towards the dragon without hesitation.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

The warm energy that had seeped into the area around my neck gradually disappears. She took a dip in the hot tub, but when she came out, the coolness stayed there instead.

And soon, I saw the Bone Dragon soaring into the sky, with fire chasing after it like a gust of wind.

It was then.

“ah… .”

Just when I thought I had succeeded, I felt my body slowly breaking down without my knowledge. The sky seemed to suddenly tilt, but this time it calmly moved backwards.

“───!”

At that moment, I felt someone support the back of my neck.

At the same time.

Crumble rumble rumble!

With my vision fading, I could see the rising flames devouring the dragon.
