Level up with swords (286)
A sacred song, a “chant,” rings out.
About 50 knights of Seongcheolsae praised the goddess with one voice, amplifying the power bestowed by her grace. Each and every one of them is a top-level expert-level warrior, and at the same time, they are powerful people who possess divine powers.
Although they are capable of taking charge of two or three territories on their own, the true character of the Seongcheolsae Knights is highlighted in group exhibitions such as the present.
Geoff, 5th rank of the Holy Iron Chain Knights, shouted with all his might.
“Three trillion! from now on!”
“”from now on!””
While repeating his orders, the five men took a step forward and vigorously waved the weapons in their hands.
Even though Desmond has been strengthened, he is essentially undead.
It is weakened by <Chant> and <Sanctuary>, and if it is hit by the <Auror Weapon> that stays in the holy magic period, extinction cannot be avoided. The corpses of the forest trolls, shattered from the head to the bottom of the ribs, lost their immortality and reverted to a handful of dust.
“Team 5 takes cover! Group 4, take a step back!”
“”cover!””
““Take one step back!””
The formation flips over like water without a moment of discord.
Even though the undead sacrificed their lives to attack, not a single incontinence occurred in the iron fortress. When Group 5, armed with long-armed weapons, gave a single shout and applied pressure, Group 4 did not miss it and retreated to regain their breath.
It was a perfect group strategy.
If they had fought individually, the speed of crushing enemies and the efficiency of distributing stamina and auras would have been greatly reduced.
Geoff, who had fired an Auror and killed one, looked around the battlefield with cold, sunken eyes.
‘It’s still worth it.’
The Holy Iron Knights and the Undead Legion.
The difference in power between the two groups was truly enormous.
Not only did the difference in number exceed 30 times, but even though they were weakened by divine power, their durability and strength did not decline significantly.
It was evidence of the great capabilities of the person who wrote Necromancy.
‘… You may be able to endure for another 30 minutes, but after that, you will start losing power by the minute.’
Geoff’s judgment was cold yet realistic.
Even though the dwarves used their hands well, transforming the surrounding terrain into an advantageous form and meeting the enemy in perfect formation, there was no chance of victory for them.
Heavy and heavy amulet.
Still, they were able to get this far because they had the upper hand in the relationship, and if they had formed a square with the Royal Guards, they would have been broken through more than 10 minutes ago.
It was that moment.
Flash!
A pillar of brilliant light struck from beyond the undead army, far from the formation of the Holy Iron Knights.
It is <Shin Punishment>.
The aftermath alone melts low-level undead and restores vitality to their exhausted bodies. The formation, which had been pushed back little by little, took a few steps forward, overwhelming the undead again.
“Saint.”
But Geoff’s face was still stiff.
This was already the third time.
The only being that can be used alone is a saint, and even Ellahan cannot achieve a conclusion even after pouring out the final holy method that exhausts him after one use three times.
Are you saying that Desmond’s abilities are that great?
and.
Crumbling—!
Seongcheolsae struck the ground at the center of the light pillar of <Sinbeol>.
The pavement of Area 13 is overturned with a single blow, and the shock wave that explodes like a wave blows away the corpses standing around her.
A crazy wind.
Ellahan opened the way with a single attack and rushed towards Desmond once again. It was a charge that broke the speed of sound in just a few seconds and used a shield made of divine power like a shield.
Desmond taunted, clicking his tongue where he wasn’t even there.
《Heulheul, there are no wild boars. Eighth saint.》
With a single gesture, the darkness rises.
As if confronting the light of <Divine Punishment>, the darkness grew in size, creating a barrier of dozens of layers as if blocking Ellahan’s front line.
It was a method that involved attack and defense.
If it fails to break through at once, its defense power is converted into a grip that crushes the enemy.
“If I were a wild boar, you would run away like a rat.”
Ellahan sneered and accelerated even further.
It was right after that.
Quang! Quang! Quang! Quang!
Ellahan rushed forward with terrifying force and struck the wall of thick darkness, shattering dozens of pieces at once and reaching the face of Desmond standing behind it.
Even though she was greatly wasted in three solo battles with Divine Punishment, her explosive power did not drop significantly.
Desmond felt a chill down his spine for the first time in hundreds of years.
“But.”
Ellahan reached right in front of him and struck down the hammer he had raised above his head.
Tuquaaaaaaang——!!
Wholehearted effort.
Seongcheolsae’s strike, struck with deadly will, seemed to shatter the ground along with Desmond. With <Sacred Barrier> activated at maximum power, Ellahan’s power is at a semi-transcendent level.
Even Desmond, who had been strengthened by the <Corruption>, received a fatal wound if he was hit directly.
however.
《It is meaningless.》
As a jet-black shield appeared to surround Desmond, the iron chains that had collided with its surface bounced off helplessly.
It was a reaction as if physical power had suddenly disappeared.
And as dozens of black thunderbolts exploded, Ellahan could not hold out any longer and had no choice but to retreat.

“This unreasonable invalidation phenomenon, as expected… !”
Ellahan’s eyes stared at Desmond with confidence.
“How can you write ‘Yeokcheon’?!”
《Ho? Did you notice?》
“Even if it is a lich whose body was reconstructed through <Corruption>, its essence is ultimately undead, and there is no way it can be safe in the face of the light of divine punishment. “Unless it is a paradox that negates and invalidates natural law itself!”
Desmond responded to that with a dark laugh.
《Heulheulheul, I know well. It’s just as they say. It is the result of my own research into the power given to me by my master. Although it is insignificant compared to the true 〈Reverse Heaven〉, it can block the interference of the goddess who cannot move in the heavens.》
It was a shocking statement.
One of the powers symbolizing the Demon King, <Reverse Heaven>, was a power that made it impossible for anyone but the hero to interfere with its existence.
But to recreate that irrational power, even if only partially?
‘Dangerous.’
Ellahan swallowed dry saliva without realizing it.
It must be defeated right here.
What if Desmond further studies the power that imitates that <Reverse Heaven> and reproduces it in a more complete form? What if an army that can use it on a large scale is even created?
At that time, there would be no chance of victory for the Allied Forces.
《Are you in despair? Did you realize that the power of the goddess I followed in her short life could not reach my wisdom?》
“What a foolish thing to say!”
Ellahan cut off Desmond’s words and aimed the Seongcheolsae again.
“The power of heresy can challenge the goddess’s status! “That profanity will not be forgiven even in hell!”
《Kuhuhuhul, then try it again and again. I will make you realize how powerless the light of the goddess you uphold is.》
“Shut up!”
Ellahan showed no signs of anger and increased his strength, ignoring even the distribution of his physical strength.
Even the <Sacred Barrier> could not handle the entire output, and the joints made a creaking sound. The ground beneath my feet cracks, and the air for several meters is distorted.
A walking fortress.
As someone said when they saw her, a presence that could hardly be called human pressed down on the entire area.
“Dan————sine!!”
Jumping over a hundred meters in one step, he slams Seongcheolsae back into Desmond’s face.
This time too, a jet-black protective shield blocked his path, but a shock wave that could not completely dissipate swept the surrounding area. The ground, which had become unstable due to several collisions, was distorted, and several buildings that had already tilted their pillars collapsed, raising dust.
Even though the hammer is only swung loudly, it exerts greater power than a catapult.
This is truly a human weapon, a saint, cultivated by the Holy Church.
It was the hero’s partner who was finally completed after 300 years.
《… That’s terrible. If we had fought properly, we wouldn’t have been able to recover even a bone.》
Desmond breathed a sigh of relief as he faced the first wave of destruction. If it had not been for the power given to her by Vritra, she would not have been able to study that power again and reproduce the characteristics of <Reverse Heaven>.
It would have been shattered by a single blow of that terrifying hammer.
But he succeeded.
Through hundreds of years of patience and effort, she has acquired the power to confidently stand against the Holy Church and the brilliance of the abominable goddess.
Wow! Quang! Kwaaaang!
The shield shakes with an eerie sound.
Ellahan spun in place at high speed like a top, delivering several blows without stopping.
Strangely enough, the shield that was hit by the attack was intact, but Desmond, who was crushed by the shield, was only slightly dug into the ground. It was a sight that made me sad, even though I knew it would never break.
Still, Ellahan’s explosive power soon reached its limits.
“ha… , haaa… .”
The blood seems to be drying up inside the body.
Even after running for hundreds of kilometers, I have never been out of breath. My stamina is running low, and I struggle with a sweet smell.
It starts from here.
Despite the fatigue that made his eyes turn yellow, Ellahan squeezed out all the energy he had left until the end.
“city… In, brrrrrr… !”
As Seongcheolswae, held with a trembling hand, pointed to the sky, a small hole opened in the middle of the sky.
It was the goddess’ residence, a passage directly connected to the heavenly world.
Desmond, too, was not surprised and chuckled, as he had already witnessed this scene three times.
“Are you still going to lean on that shabby light? You can’t subdue me with the power of the goddess! Even a piece of scrap metal that was made of a warrior’s armor! All sophistry praising God is meaningless!”
Ellahan responded to the arrogant declaration with a hammer.
Just before the light of divine punishment falls.
Perhaps he was trying to vent his anger, but he didn’t have the right amount of energy.
Ugh.
What followed, wrapped around Seongcheolsae’s hammerhead, was something that could not even be called ‘seongbeop’.
Just pure and brilliant light.
A variation of the Holy Law handed down to the Second Cardinal William.
A technique developed solely for the purpose of subjugating the Demon King, 〈Right Law〉.
It was the moment when the secret method that the Holy Church had secretly developed and passed down knowingly or unknowingly over a period of 300 years was revealed for the first time.
《————What?!》
Seongcheolsae, wrapped in the light of 〈Jeongbeop〉, easily smashed the protective shield that had not produced even a single glimmer until now.
On the other side of the darkness, which was shattering like thinly sliced porcelain, I saw Desmond with his jaw open in shock, even though only his skeleton remained.
and.
“… “Let’s go home!!”
As if spitting out blood, Ellahan pronounced a divine punishment.
Flash!
At the moment when a ray of light exploded from the sky, Desmond felt the Reaper’s scythe sticking into the back of his neck.
It was death.
Death, which he had eluded for hundreds of years, finally caught up with him.
《Kwaaaaaaaaa!!》
The body made up of dragon bones burns, and the white bones are scorched black and emit unclean energy.
It was a final blow.
With one blow, Desmond was driven to the brink of death.
The reason it didn’t disappear was because the body reconstructed from the dragon’s bones barely survived. If it had been before that, it would have been reduced to ashes within 3 seconds.
“The end… “I will pay.”
Thanks to the <Divine Punishment>, the undead had been completely wiped out, so there was no one who could attack Ellahan, who was barely able to stand up.
She barely managed to stand up and lifted the Seongcheolswae.
Even swinging it once is difficult.
She couldn’t even remember how long she had used up all of her stamina and divine power, so she stopped thinking about it.
It was then.
Gurgling… ! Gurgling… !
Inside Desmond’s body, which was lying on the ground, or, to be precise, within his bones, a darkness as thick as mud overflowed.
Ellahan, who reflexively took a step back, frowned.
“What is this again?”
It is similar to Karen’s ‘Pitch Black Dance’, but it is a different phenomenon.
Desmond, now a mop, was sucked into the darkness.
As if I was being forcibly moved somewhere.
“… … no way!”
Ellahan, with his eyes wide open, urgently turned around.
* * *
Desmond was not the only one experiencing an unidentified phenomenon.
Tutanka, the troll shaman who was arguing with Karen, also looked at the darkness engulfing his body and spoke.
The only injuries it had were a few scratches on its outer skin.
“Is the master calling?”
“That’s it.”
“it’s a shame. “If you try it a few more times, you’ll get the hang of it.”
The three heads mumbled like that, expressing their regret.
It had to be that way.
“omg… ! Huh… !”
Karen, a brown-skinned beauty covered in dust and blood, was panting, unable to control herself. For her, Tutankha was never a good match.
Intelligence far higher than that of humans, magic whose tricks are difficult to read, and innate abilities that cannot be defeated even by the 〈Jet Black Martial Arts〉.
Being in the middle of a monster wave was also a problem.
‘If the fight had continued a little longer, it might have been really dangerous.’
We can do better next time.
It’s just that she didn’t have any experience dealing with high-ranking shamans, and the difference in power between her and him wasn’t that great.
Facing Karen, whose eyes were shining with intent to kill, Tutankha stuck out his tongue with three heads in a row.
“Next time, definitely.”
“By pulling out that head.”
“I will take it as my trophy.”
In response, Karen straightened her middle finger.
“You’ll regret not killing me today.”
“Hehehe.”
“I look forward to it.”
“Mongrel female.”
Tutankha laughed at her provocation, then completely fell into darkness and disappeared.
Spatial transfer in a higher concept than 〈Park Martial Arts〉.
In that case, the magician must be the one.
“… “Hero!”
Karen, who realized Vritra’s intention, looked back to where Hrimturus and Leon had gone.
It was a simple yet fatal maneuver.
If the core forces were called from here to another location, there would be only one target for it to attack.
