Episode 268
The seven legends, including Choi Hyun-seok, were speechless at the sight unfolding before their eyes.
“You are a minister.”
“… It can’t be snow. The sun is so bright.”
Gratiam, the capital of the Holy Empire Gatren.
One of the largest cities on the continent is completely covered in pure white snow.
To be exact, it was not an eye, but a kind of crystal created by gathering divine power, but on the outside, it looked no different.
“Something feels strange.” “It’s definitely a sight I’ve never seen in my three hundred years of life.”
It was a unique experience to see the pure white city in warm weather.
A fleeting thought crossed my mind that it would be better if there were no fanatics roaming the city like zombies.
“Let’s stop rambling here.”
Park Hyun-ah stepped forward.
Soon there will be a war between Draxel and the cult.
Maybe it’s already started.
There was no time to waste time chatting or talking, because as many people as were wasted would die.
“As planned, the five of you are drawing the enemy’s attention.”
Their operation was simple.
Five legends from each country, including Kinley Fusell.
They charge into Gratia first and attract the enemy’s attention.
Then, when the cardinal appears, the strategy begins with running away as much as possible to buy time.
“If you give the signal, Choi Hyun-seok and I will sneak into the palace.”
Choi Hyun-seok and Park Hyun-ah wait for a signal from afar.
When a certain pattern of magic decorates the sky, it is time to move.
The two immediately invaded the imperial palace in the center of the city.
Let’s end this damn war by killing the Pope as quickly as possible.
“Oh, and once we enter the palace, don’t forget to change tactics. From then on, we have to focus on defense to prevent other guys from entering the palace.”
When the final battle begins, enemies will flock to protect the Pope.
So, this side also needs to change its stance quickly.
He devoted all his energy to protecting the palace to prevent the enemy from intervening in the battle.
In a way, you could say that their positions have been reversed.
“I can’t hold out for long. I have to use my magic like crazy… I guess 30 minutes at most is the limit.” “Don’t worry. I don’t plan on holding out for too long anyway.” “Understood. Then let’s go first.”
Kinley Fusel and the legends flew to Gratiam.
After a while.
Kwaaaaang-!
Dust flew up in the city along with the noise.
Following that explosion, a series of loud noises are heard.
Kuuung! Kwaang!
“… Unbelievers…!”
“Kill me, hehehe…!”
The laughter of fanatics could be heard on the wind.
Choi Hyun-seok and Park Hyun-ah looked at the city with sharp expressions.
“Phew…”
“Are you nervous?”
“Aren’t you nervous, Sister?”
“Don’t be so nervous.”
Park Hyun-ah smiled faintly.
How can you not be nervous?
The future of humanity rests on his shoulders.
I feel like I’m going to suffocate at any moment under the pressure of this important mission.
‘Well, even if it’s not necessarily a feeling of pressure, is it a situation where you can’t help but feel nervous?’
Even without this sense of responsibility, this battle has a special meaning.
The moment that marks the end of a long journey.
She has been waiting for this moment for a long time.
“No matter how the process is, if the result is shit, then it’s shit. That’s why you have to finish it well.” “If someone who values the process hears that, they’ll be furious.” “I’ll tell them to furious. They’re idealists who don’t know anything anyway. I guarantee that those guys with their brains full of flowers will say the same thing I do if they spend a year on the battlefield. They can say more.”
Is there anything more crazy than discussing dreams and ideals on the battlefield?
If you happen to see such a person, it would be better to deal with him quickly.
Because it was clear that he was a person with a bunch of screws loose in his head.
If Park Hyun-ah found such a person, she would not hesitate to blow his head off.
There’s not much difference between a fanatic or a crazy person.
Since we already have tens of thousands of heads blown off every day, adding one more to that number won’t change anything.
Kwaaaaang-! Kwaang!
Even while we were talking, the noise continued without interruption.
Rather, it feels like it’s getting bigger and bigger.
The sacred power crystals that covered the city sparkled and scattered here and there.
“It’s later than I thought. It’s almost time for the signal to come.” “… Let’s wait a little longer.”
Even though quite some time has passed since the battle began, there is still no signal.
If all goes as planned, the signal should be sent the moment it catches the Cardinal’s attention.
I thought the signal would arrive within 5 minutes at most, but almost 10 minutes have passed and there has been no news.

“Umm…”
Choi Hyun-seok and Park Hyun-ah’s expressions hardened.
If things continue like this, something really big could happen.
If that vanguard died for no reason, then it would be over.
You have to retreat in vain without even being able to fight properly.
“Join now….”
Choi Hyun-seok, who was speaking, stopped.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Magic exploded, painting the sky in a rainbow of colors.
The long-awaited signal has arrived.
“let’s go!”
Choi Hyun-seok and Park Hyun-ah headed towards Gratiam at full speed without saying who would go first.
***
Five legends, led by Kinley Fusell.
As soon as they arrived in Gratia, they went wild.
“It’s a short-term match anyway! Don’t hold back on your magic power and pour it all out!”
Swords, magic, and giant hammers are swung to destroy the city.
Then, as if they had been waiting, a group of fanatics began to rush in.
They came together at a terrifying speed, creating a huge tsunami.
Gugugugugugugugu…!
A human tsunami created by millions of people.
If you get caught up in that, you won’t see anything good, even with empty words.
But the five legends were mistaken.
The legend who pours out everything without thinking about the future couldn’t be stopped by something like that.
“Ugh!”
Kinley Fusell started swinging his hammer with a shout.
Boohoo- Boohoo- Boohoo-
The speed of the hammer spinning around her body gradually increases.
When her figure became difficult to see properly due to the tremendous speed of rotation.
Magic power soared into the sky.
The tax crusher
Type 7 – Steel Whirlwind
It’s not some kind of wind created by magic.
The solid magical power itself formed a huge tornado, tearing apart everything that entered it.
Kwaaaaaaaah!
“Hee, hee hee! Salvation! Salvation!” “Oh my God! I’m coming now!”
A huge number of fanatics were swept up in the tornado and were launched into the sky.
As they collide with each other in the whirlwind, bones break and flesh is torn.
“Use as much technology as possible!” “Fight with the determination to destroy everything!”
Other legends also fought against the fanatics with their own speculations and magic.
Buildings collapse, the ground cracks, and tens of thousands of fanatics flutter about like autumn leaves.
It’s an incredibly powerful ripple effect that’s hard to believe is the result of just five people.
“Infidel. How dare you disturb the sacred ground.” “Death to the infidel.”
“Death and rest!”
How long did it run wild like that?
The long-awaited enemy has finally appeared.
Eight cardinals stood in the legend’s way.
Kinley Fusel frowned as he faced the massive, muscle-bound human.
“Why are there only that one?” “It seems that only some of the cardinals guarding the palace escaped.” “That won’t do. We need to bring more cardinals.” “If we kill them one by one, they will all come out inevitably!”
It is estimated that there are about twenty cardinals in Gratia.
I couldn’t send a signal that would get the attention of even eight people.
The legends quickly gathered together and approached one cardinal.
“Take care of the guy on the far left first!” “Don’t worry about saving magic power, go all out!”
The cardinal is strong.
If you just look at the average physical specs, they are superior to the legends.
But the real reason they were called legends wasn’t just because of their superhuman physique.
The tax crusher
Type 2 – One-point strike
Dracaen Empire Swordsmanship
Type 13 – Shadow of the Empire
A skill honed over hundreds of years.
Valuable experience gained from fighting in countless battlefields.
These are the key elements that make a legend a legend.
The five legends struck the cardinal with perfect coordination, as if they had been in sync for a long time.
“Heh heh! Death to the unbeliever… .” Kwak-! Boom! Crunch! Kwaaang!
The targeted cardinal became unrecognizable in the blink of an eye.
dump-
The one that fell to the ground convulsed for a moment and then stopped moving.
“Kill the unbelievers.”
“God guides us.”
The remaining seven cardinals gathered together.
It seemed like he realized that his opponent was formidable and was planning to form a connection of his own.
“Shouldn’t we call more of your colleagues!?” “Where are the rest of the cardinals hidden!”
The legends continued to pour out their magical power and push the cardinal.
There is no time.
They may look overwhelming now, but that’s because they’re giving it their all without any hesitation.
The moment their magic power runs out, the legends will be unable to hold out and will fall one by one.
Before that happened, we had to bring in more cardinals as quickly as possible.
“This can’t go on! We’ll attack the palace directly!”
“what!?”
“If they won’t come out, I have to make them come out! Follow me!”
Kinley Fusell took the lead.
It was dangerous to disperse here, so the other legends had no choice but to follow.
‘Let’s see how long you can hold out.’
The Imperial Palace of the Holy Empire Gatren.
The mere sight of the massive structure was enough to instill awe in people.
Now, the entire building is covered in pure white sacred power crystals, doubling its mysteriousness.
I felt a burning sensation when I thought of the Pope acting like a god inside me.
Kinley Fusell twisted one corner of his mouth violently.
“Pope! I didn’t like you from the start!”
Gather a lot of magic power.
Although it gives Choi Hyun-seok a leg up, Kinley Fusel can also produce very high output.
It is incomparable to any other legend.
She was determined to show her true worth.
Whirli-ri-ri-ri-rik!
Kinley Fusel began to spin in the air like a millstone.
‘I’ll blow it up along with the palace.’
Magical power explodes from her as she spins at a terrifying speed.
It looked like a burning wheel was falling to the ground.
The tax crusher
Type 10 – Meteor Destruction
Just before Kinley Fusel’s hammer hits the palace.
Ten figures emerged from within the palace.
“Defend the temple!”
“Do not allow unbelievers into the sanctuary.”
Kinley Fusell’s hammer swung down on the defensive shield formed by ten cardinals.
Kwaaaaang-!
In an instant, the shield breaks and the cardinals fly in all directions.
Kwung, thump! thump!
The cardinals who were scattered all over the palace quickly stood up and flew into the sky again.
It seemed like there were broken parts to his body, but it wasn’t a fatal wound.
A level that can be recovered within a few seconds.
But Kinley Fusell laughed.
The goal has been achieved.
“I’m taking these guys away!”
“Move!”
The 8 that came out first and the 10 that came out later.
We succeeded in bringing in a total of 18 cardinals.
The legends, who decided that this was enough, cautiously distanced themselves from the palace.
Because I had to get them as far away from the palace as possible before sending the signal.
“now!”
The legends finally made their way to the outskirts of Gratiam and cast their magic into the sky.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Magic explodes, decorating the sky with promised patterns.
It is a magic spell that has no lethal power, but is loud and visually spectacular.
These were mainly used during festivals and were similar to modern firecrackers.
“Are we guarding the palace now?” “Wait. They’ll react first.”
Choi Hyun-seok and Park Hyun-ah must have entered the palace after seeing the signal.
If anyone notices that and tries to go back, we’ll stop them.
That was their next operation.
“An infidel has invaded the sanctuary.”
“I’m going back.”
After killing some time, the long-awaited response finally arrived.
The cardinals muttered something and then turned away.
“Now is the time! Stop them from going!”
“Protect the palace!”
Their positions have been reversed.
Now it’s us, not them, who are guarding the palace.
“Not even a single baby ant is allowed into the palace!”
From offense to defense.
The battle, which had entered a new phase, became increasingly fierce.
