Chapter 359
[ Episode 359. Intervention, story, and vampire]
Adrias’ sudden appearance turned the mood around. A black aura flowed around him as if it were another world.
[“Adrias Cromwell.”]
Jerome looked at Adrias with puzzled eyes. Obviously, he should have been happy with his appearance, but Jerome still had information he needed to hear from the blue knight.
“Jerome, you worked hard. Leave it to me now.”
[“It’s not like Adrias…”]
Before Jerome could finish his words, a strong mana storm erupted. Dozens of blue scythes embroidered around were fired at Adrias at the same time.
“nickel.”
Slow-!
Suddenly, the summoned nickel swung all around in all directions and destroyed the blue scythe.
[“Come!”]
cried the boy.
Adrias then frowned as he felt something interfering with his mana.
‘I can control the opponent’s undead.’
Fortunately, control was not taken away, but the unexpected ability of the blue knight succeeded in making Adrias uneasy.
Adrias confirmed that the mercenaries had cleared the area and immediately canceled the summons.
[“Stop both of them.”]
Jerome, who had escaped restraint before he knew it, said as he regenerated his body.
[“I still don’t know what is what. You have to listen.”]
“What are you talking about?”
[“The Blue Knight knows my secret.”]
Jerome continued in an urgent voice.
[“I must listen to that secret.”]
But as if ignoring his words, someone moved. Nickel was now able to move voluntarily without Adrias’ orders.
– It is impossible to leave the master’s danger as it is.
Nickel, who has developed vocal cords, expressed his opinion after a long time.
Nickel, who ran towards the blue knight at once, swung his sword ignoring the power that corroded the surroundings.
Good luck —–!
As if the blue knight had no intention of listening to Jerome in the first place, he blocked Nickel’s attack and continued to call out the ghosts.
[“Come!”]
Within a moment, all the ghosts that had gathered so far began to gather together and take on a gigantic shape.
“It’s dark.”
The five senses who were watching the scene murmured.
The gigantic figure soon became a translucent monster with three jagged horns.
“nickel!”
Adrias immediately entrusted Oduksini to Nickel.
‘If you leave it as it is, it will continue to make eoduksini. The ability to create an infinite number of powerful dark shinies with just one. So, we have to kill them before more dark teeth are formed.’
Fortunately, the Blue Knight, who should have been summoned to a place with many corpses, appeared in an unexpected place. Thanks to that, it seems like a lot of time has passed, but now there was only one Eorduksini.
[“Blue Knight! Come on! What the hell am I and what are you? Am I really your older brother!”]
Adrias, who was about to move straight away with the use of special techniques in mind, was stopped by Jerome’s words.
“brother?”
what the heck is this
Adrias, who thought he had heard it wrong for a moment, asked Jerome once again.
“A brother?”
[“The blue knight called me brother.”]
Adrias couldn’t hide his embarrassment at the completely unexpected event.
Quaang!
Even at that moment, the street was colored by the noise of Nickel and Oduksini fighting. Looking at Nickel, who had the upper hand against Oduksini, who was like a boss monster, Adrias spoke to the blue knight.
“I don’t know what the hell is going on. Is the red knight really your brother?”
A setting not found in the game.
Adrias noticed that something was wrong with the Knight of the Apocalypse episode.
[“I won’t tell you. Anyway, if you destroy this world, you will come back.
” However, Adrias, sensing that something was really hidden from those words, hardened her face.
“You guys weren’t knights of the Apocalypse from the beginning.”
[“…….”]
[“What do you mean by that? Knight of the Apocalypse? What is that?”]
Jerome shouted at Adrias with an expression of betrayal.
[“What do you know! Why didn’t you tell me!”]
“……The memory of reading in the ancient records came to my mind a little while ago. Riders on four horses said to come when the world is in chaos. First, the White Knight of Conquest, the Red Knight of War, the Black Knight of Famine, and the Blue Knight of Death. It’s just about you.”
[“Ah…… And? What’s next? Why are we here?”]
“We know that we exist for destruction. However, they say that all four riders must come together. Therefore, from the point when two people have already died, destruction cannot happen.”
Adrias looked at the blue knight as if making a conclusion.
“It’s already over, Blue Knight.”
[“doesn’t care. Even if I alone, I will destroy this world.”]
“Why are you so obsessed with destruction? Even the red knight you call your older brother is already satisfied with his life here…” [
“Okay!”]
The blue knight screamed as if crying.
[“We will definitely go back!”]
Going back?
Adrias repeated the blue knight’s words and realized that there was something he couldn’t understand.
[“Is going back to where you were?”]
Jerome asked.
But the boy didn’t answer.
[“It doesn’t matter if you don’t answer. It doesn’t matter now.”]
Jerome quickly stood up and said.
[“My determination does not change. i will keep this place I have a lot of questions, but I can’t just let people die because of my curiosity.”] [
“Why……”]
The grieved boy’s voice trembled.
[“He who might be my brother, the blue knight. I’m sorry.”]
Jerome finally revealed his will to live.
As before, the flames of his sword bloomed and shook as if to burn away all his defilements.
Kwajak!
Ooh ooh ——!
At the same time, the Oduksini that Nickel was dealing with was also shattered. The souls that were shattered and scattered spread out with a ghostly cry.
[“Hyung……”]
The blue knight lowered his head, wiping away the tears that couldn’t flow.
The one who always looked out for himself.
The person who was always by my side and took care of me.
The happy past flashed through his mind and faintly scattered.
[“I…”]
The boy couldn’t give up.
[“I’ll put everything back.”]
The boy couldn’t let go of his older brother and past happiness.
[“I’m sorry. Please sleep for a bit.”]
Huung-!
A bleak energy burst out again around the boy. Seeing this, Adrias frowned and manipulated Nickel.
‘Runaway.’
It was actually best to deal with that ability before it was activated with the ability of the original blue knight.
However, Adrias also listened quietly, wanting to know the secret affair between the two.
“It is over now.”
If he had used the runaway, there was nothing to measure back and forth. I wanted to hear how they became the knights of the Apocalypse and came to this world, but seeing the blue knight who couldn’t speak clearly as if he had a restriction, Adrias moved.
A huge scythe, on a different level than before, floated up in the air as if it were going to fly. The scythe, shining like a crescent moon, was slashed at the running Adrias.
Kwaaaang——!
However, as if he had predicted the scythe’s movement, Nickel next to him appeared and blocked it instead.
In the meantime, Adrias approached the blue knight, using his physical abilities that had risen to the limit.
“There is no one without a story.”
Adrias muttered to the blue knight’s face.
“But that doesn’t give you permission to hurt anyone.”
[“Come.”]
The blue knight spoke quietly, as if ignoring Adrias’s words, and lifted the pony’s heel.
Kang!
Sparks flew and Galakshur’s hooves collided.
However, Adrias indifferently turned his body sideways and twisted his sword.
His genius-level swordsmanship talent did not tolerate any obstruction in front of the sword.
Kwajik!
The pony’s side burst open and the spirits of death spurted out. However, Adrias didn’t care at all and instead dug deeper into his arms.
[“Ah…”]
Jerome, who thought he had made up his mind, but couldn’t take a step, watched the scene devastated.
[“you also! After all, you’re standing there after breaking through someone! I am? Why can’t I!”]
Push!
The blue knight who had been stabbed in the shoulder was desperate.
Then Adrias smiled bitterly and said.
“You’re right. So I tried to be strong. Because only strength is justice in this world.”
[“It’s sophistry.”]
“It doesn’t matter what you think. Anyway, I will survive…”
Kwajik!
“Because if you disappear, it will be over. For me, the people around me come first.”
The cruel sentence of Adrias resounded around.
Evan and Salem, who had finished their work outside the castle, quietly watched.
[“Hyung……”]
The pierced blue knight looked at Jerome vaguely.
[“You were supposed to go back together. As promised, if we just destroyed this place, we could live happily ever after.”]
[“The Blue Knight.”]
Jerome watched with a confused look on his face, but he didn’t move.
[“…Even if you’re my brother, please live happily.”]
Adrias bit his teeth as he saw the blue knight who didn’t move or resist even though he ran out of control.
It was too painful to attack an opponent without resistance.
Awesome!
At that time, Nickel, who appeared silently, divided the supply and demand of the Blue Knight.
-It is your duty to solve your master’s troubles.
Then he canceled his summons and disappeared.
[“……What was right.”]
Jerome’s bitter voice passed through the ruined landscape.
**
It was a very uncomfortable battle.
It would have been much better to deal with the punitive force outside the castle.
‘There was something I didn’t know.’
By analogy with the Blue Knight’s last words, it seemed that if he destroyed this place through a deal with someone, he would be able to return to the original place.
The opponent of the deal is probably a Transcendentalist.
“Adrias Cromwell.”
Someone called my name, though it was Luna’s voice, but the way she spoke wasn’t Luna’s at all.
Is it five senses?
“You did well.”
“yes.”
I know.
No matter what kind of desperate story there was, my choice would not have changed.
Because to me, the people here were much more precious than those stories.
Sssss-
“Another guest has come.”
Salem said with a relaxed smile at the presence felt around him.
“vampire.”
Uninvited guests who suddenly appeared did not reveal themselves and were only spilling signs around.
I turned my head to check on Isabel who was lying on the floor and roughly guessed the situation.
‘Is that what Isabelle called?’
It was probably called for help, but the blue knight had already disappeared.
“Mrs. Adrias Cromwell.”
One of the vampires sneaked up and bowed her head.
“I came at Isabelle’s request. You don’t have to be vigilant.”
“It is over.”
“Looks like it.”
The vampire nodded and looked at Isabelle, then stood still.
“Do you have any business left?”
“Angela-sama wants to hear a definite answer about when she will visit.”
“Weren’t you one of Isabelle’s subordinates?”
“Sometimes they even say hello to each other.”
Lucifer family.
It was a must-visit place someday even for one of the sins, ‘lust’.
“I’ll be right there.”
“Soon…?”
“I’ll go as soon as this place is sorted out.”
“All right. Thank you for your answer.”
Vampires soon disappeared as secretly as they appeared.
It was embarrassing, but the articles of the Apocalypse were over, so it was a good time to go.
‘After all, I have to collect all the sins…….’
It was time to deal with the things that had been put off for three years.
The next destination was Lucifer.
