Episode 689: The desire to achieve (3)
“what?”
Ludger’s words were so dry that it was no different from saying he would clean up trash on the side of the road.
How many people on this continent can say something like this about a cardinal?
Aldre curled his fist.
No matter how much of a devil he was, it was very humiliating to say something like this to a cardinal.
“Let’s see how long that proud face will last!”
Aldre used the holy method.
Three advanced holy laws, which priests can only unlock after praying for a long time, were revealed in succession.
Winged soldiers wearing pure white armor and holding spears charged at Ludger.
Behind him, a huge pillar shot out from the center of the magic circle made of light, and a pure white Iron Maid came out from behind Ludger and attacked him from behind.
Each and every one of them is an instant death blow aimed at suffocating the opponent.
Ludger watched the scene and lightly tapped his foot.
The moment his shoe feet touched the white ground, black waves spread out in concentric circles.
The moment the wave reached the winged soldiers, it created a black tentacle-like shadow and entangled their entire bodies.
The power was so strong that the soldiers created by the holy law were unable to even resist and were crushed by the tentacle’s grip, turning into particles of light and disappearing.
The same was true for the Iron Maid who was attacking from behind.
The Iron Maid, which had its entrance wide open on both sides, trembled as soon as it reached the wavelength and melted without a trace.
The last pillar of light that was fired was bent as the wavelength passed by and ended up hitting an odd wall.
Just by stamping his foot once, he instantly nullified three advanced holy laws.
“okay. “They don’t call me the Demon King for nothing, right?”
“If you don’t know anything about me, isn’t that too reckless?”
Ludger stared at Aldre with a cold gaze.
“You probably don’t know that your comrade died by my hands, but is it okay for you to be brave like this? “It seems like there is a part of him that believes otherwise.”
“Shut up!”
Aldre activated the church artifact he was carrying.
Intense light erupted and obscured Ludger’s vision.
Swords of light appeared through the cracks of light and targeted Ludger’s vital points.
That’s stupid. Let your guard down against the Cardinals?
Aldre smiled murderously, then widened his eyes.
In the light she could see.
Ludger’s shadow, standing still, stretched behind him because of the light.
The shadow began to wiggle and gradually expanded, and soon black, long tentacle-like things were waving and moving.
The sword of light was completely caught in the shadows and disappeared.
The stronger the light, the clearer and stronger the shadows became.
And even when the light completely disappeared, the shadows still remained in place and gained strength.
The shadow behind Ludger suddenly stood up and took the shape of a huge crow.
‘Magic water!’
Aldre immediately figured out that the shadow crow was a magic beast.
It is much stronger than a normal magic beast and has a threatening appearance.
The Demon King’s magic number was different from that of other wizards.
The shadow crow spread its wings wide.
Wings so large that they touched both ends of the wide hallway in the inner room flapped, and a crow flew in.
“How dare you talk about something so trivial!”
Aldre activated the Holy Act again.
A dazzling light exploded, tearing everything around.
At the same time, Aldre was fiddling with the tiny Rosario in his arms.
It was thanks to this holy relic that she was able to act so confidently against Ludger.
The s*x method used now is simply a trick to deceive the other person’s vision.
It was nothing more than buying time to use this holy object.
If the Demon King found out about this, he would have tried to finish this off before the Holy Relic was activated. But surprisingly, Ludger still stood still.
‘That arrogance is what’s killing you!’
Finally, preparations for activating the holy object were completed.
The other person knew and waited for me like a target, so I felt like a fool for being nervous for no reason.
Aldre took out the holy relic and aimed it at Ludgar.
“Activate the Holy Relic.”
The rosary he was holding in his hand vibrated and emitted a large wave of waves around him.
Atre Nocturnus, pushed back by the wave, retreated and returned to Ludger’s shadow.
“I wondered why he acted so confidently, but maybe what he believed in was a sacred object?”
“Even if you realize it now, it’s already too late. “The holy relic has already been activated.”
Aldre smiled triumphantly.
Ludger stared at Rosario quietly.
A complex pattern of sacred power was engraved around the small rosary, which contained tremendous divine power.
The holy object that Aldre used was the same object that was used to seal Grandeur’s soul.
This holy relic can only be activated on one person, and its effect is simple.
It crushes and kills the opponent with tremendous pressure.
Something like a pure white hammer was created above Ludger’s head.
It was a gavel used to make decisions in court.

Ather Nocturnus felt a sense of crisis and expanded his size.
The crow’s wings turned into arms, and it used both arms to block the gavel falling from the sky.
Ather Nocturnus’ two arms, which seemed capable of stopping even if the sky fell, collapsed and collapsed as soon as they touched the gavel.
“That’s stupid. Did you think this holy relic could be stopped so easily? “The power of this relic is conceptual.”
Aldre was sure.
Even Luthus, the greatest sword on the continent, and Clinton, the strongest wizard, would face death in front of this holy relic.
It was the same with Holy Emperor Salesin, the owner of this holy kingdom.
“The power of this holy object is proportional to the size of the ‘desire’ held deep in the other person’s heart.”
All humans have desires.
And of course, humans are endlessly greedy beings.
Even for a very young child, the size of the desire within him was beyond imagination.
I want to become a famous person. I want to make a lot of money. I want to look good and be treated well. I wish everyone would kneel under me.
This holy relic senses the wishes held deep in the other person’s heart and passes judgment with appropriate power.
“It sure looks dangerous.”
Ludger looked up at the gavel coming down, not quickly but surely, and immediately moved from place to place through the shadows.
Ludger disappeared and reappeared quite far away, but it was no use.
“There is no use running away.”
This was because just as Ludger moved, the gavel also appeared above Ludger’s head.
“It can’t be avoided, and it can’t be prevented. “Once activated, the Holy Relic will not stop until the opponent faces judgment.”
The activation itself took a long time and was difficult, but once activated, it was possible to completely finish off the opponent.
It is a vicious sacred object that only ends when it is hit by the gavel and bears the weight of its own desires.
“Devil. “You will try to destroy this world and create a new one.”
A desire so great that it covers this entire continent.
In other words, the weight of this desire was equivalent to the entire world.
“Disappear, crushed by the world you want to destroy. On your final journey, die regretting your desires and sins.”
Ather Nocturnus struggled to protect his master, but was unable to handle the power of the holy relic.
“Come back.”
Ludger gave orders to Ather Nocturnus.
Ather Nocturnus, who was looking down at Ludger with a question asking why, obediently returned to the shadows the moment he saw Ludger’s calm eyes.
“Have you finally given up on resistance? “But you don’t show your ugly side on the way to the end.”
Aldre thought Ludger had already given up on everything.
The pure white gavel fell on Ludger’s head.
Bright light scattered around and the wind blew.
There was no sound.
That gavel was something conceptual, embodied by a holy relic.
In reality, it was only Ludger who applied physical force, and it had no effect on the surrounding area.
The light faded with the wind.
Aldre thought Ludger had completely oxidized without leaving even a single trace of blood.
Considering what he had done, there was a high possibility that he could not fully handle the karma of his desires.
“that… … .”
okay.
It definitely should have been that way.
“Nonsense.”
Aldre muttered in a trembling voice.
The eyes, trembling like dry tree branches hit by the wind, captured the image of Ludger still standing still.
“Hey, this can’t be happening. “The holy relic was clearly activated properly!”
“okay. “The holy relic was activated properly.”
The person who had been hit directly by the holy relic confirmed that statement very easily.
“It was definitely surprising. It is a holy object whose power increases dramatically in proportion to the size of the other person’s desire. “No matter who got hit, everyone would have been crushed to death by the gavel.”
“Why on earth are you okay? “What kind of magic did you use?”
“The holy relic was activated properly. “I truly felt the power of that holy object.”
okay. Ludger was clearly hit by the holy relic.
I felt its weight.
The weight of your true desire.
“It seems my desire is not strong enough to kill me.”
“Do not be ridiculous. There’s no way you could be so casual! “If you don’t have any desire, why on earth are you doing this!”
What on earth was his true desire that led to a crusade like few others in long history?
I didn’t understand it based on common sense.
Aldre felt dizzy and stumbled in his seat without realizing it.
“I have no obligation to tell you such things.”
“Well, that…” … .”
“so. Is this all you have prepared? Otherwise, you can reveal your hidden cards again. No, it definitely has to be that way.”
Formidable magical power began to arise from Ludger’s entire body.
“If that’s the end, you’ll die here.”
“Ugh, wow!”
Seeing the reality that shattered common sense, Aldre let out a scream-like scream and tried to activate the holy law.
Phew!
“ah.”
However, Aldre was unable to implement the Holy Law in the end.
This was because, along with the burning pain stabbing her back, she discovered the tip of a knife piercing her chest.
“This, this… … .”
Aldre slowly turned his head, blood pouring from his mouth.
Her pupil, filled with astonishment and fear, found Surna smiling creepyly at her.
“I was wondering where you ran away like that, but did you end up here?”
Surna had already arrived here.
So what about your colleagues? Where are the other two cardinals?
Aldre’s curiosity was quickly answered.
“It’s too late to catch these guys.”
Surna threw the object she was holding on the floor.
It was the heads of Cardinal Joseph and Cardinal Sehar that were rolling around.
“And you are the last.”
“this… … !”
Before Aldre could utter words filled with hatred and curses, Surna swung his sword.
Blood spattered in all directions, staining the pure white interior of the castle red.
It was a pretty cruel sight, but neither Ludger nor Surna blinked.
“are you okay? “It looks like he was hit by a holy object, but he looks better than I thought.”
“As you can see.”
“The fact that the cardinal stormed in here with a holy relic means that they must have figured out what we were trying to do. Since the line was going well, the guys who were planning to show up last with all their strength probably advanced their plans.”
“I guess it’s not just us who are impatient.”
“okay.”
At that moment, the castle vibrated loudly and emitted a large wave around it.
The waves extended far beyond the outer walls and all the way to the coast of Bretus.
The reason why this suddenly happened was simple.
“Are we entering stage 2?”
If the entire fortress shined in the first stage, the beginning of the second stage was a change in the fortress.
The castle began to move with a crunching sound.
Corridors split, creating new paths or blocking them.
The positions of the doors and windows changed, and the overall structure of the fortress changed into a maze.
The noise made by a huge and sophisticated mechanical device that had been stationary for a long time was not normal.
It was very big and magnificent.
As if to warn the entire world that something is about to happen.
* * *
Shoot ahhh.
A corner of the coastline where a tsunami pushed and swept away.
A woman casually walked out onto the beach, which had become a mess as the tide had not yet subsided.
“They say the temple has been opened, but it’s nothing like this.”
Casey stared at the sight of Bretus for the first time in his life with complex eyes.
