Chapter 407
[ Episode 407. Darkness]
“We have to hurry.”
Mounted on the ghost horse, Morne shouted while summoning the ghost horse to share with the party.
By the time Chimera was almost finished, Morne and Maximin, who had met Sister Claire and Evan and heard the news, moved to head straight to Cromwell.
“You are determined and moving.”
Maximin muttered with a gloomy face.
Then Evan kicked the ghost horse with an expression that he had no time to delay.
“There are only thirty-one superhumans…”
Most of Cromwell’s power was currently outside the state. Even though Adrias went back in a hurry, it was too much to deal with 31 superhumans with that much power.
While hurrying to return to Cromwell, Maximin, who noticed someone’s energy, hardened his impression.
“I asked where he was and he was here.”
“What do you mean?”
Morne, who was in too much of a hurry and didn’t have the energy to look around, soon found a good figure blocking the road in the distance and muttered.
“He’s…”
“Xavier Leonard.”
An Aura Master who is currently the commander of the Imperial Guard and is also listed as one of the 10 Continents. He stood there blankly blocking the road with an expressionless figure like a doll.
“found.”
Upon discovering the party, Xavier muttered like a machine and drew his sword. Seeing this, Maximin said quietly.
“I will take care of that guy.”
“Please.”
Soon, except for Maximin, the rest of the party slightly turned around and evaded Xavier. Only Maximin ran in the same direction he was going, slowed down slowly, and then stopped near Xavier.
“It’s been a while, Maximin Cronel.”
“Where is the Emperor?”
After the summoning of the ghost horse was canceled, Maximin, who landed on the floor, asked without any tension. Then Xavier shook his head and murmured.
“Why are you the likes looking for His Majesty?”
“It’s been a while since I wanted to say hello.”
Watching Maximin answer calmly, Xavier swept his sword down.
“Ask your regards only in the afterlife.”
Quaang!
The atmosphere vibrated just by kicking off the ground. Seeing Xavier fly right in front of him in the blink of an eye, Maximin also pulled out his sword.
“Anyway, it’s surprising. I guess the emperor was in a hurry too?”
Caang —–!
Maximin, who leisurely blocked Xavier’s sword, spoke. However, Xavier attempted the next attack without much reaction.
Whoo!
Quaggagak!
As Maximin sneakily dodged the sword Xavier swung, the ground cracked open with only the wind pressure created by the sword.
“Seeing as you sent you to block our reunion, things don’t look so good on you either.”
“Even if you join us, nothing will change. The only thing that can stop His Majesty’s will is your Majesty’s own will.”
Keying –
An unusual resonance of mana rang out.
At the same time, Maximin, who felt a presence behind him, quickly turned around and blocked something.
Kaaang!
“Maximin Cronell. I will make good use of your aura draw.”
As soon as Xavier finished speaking, he showed a storm-like momentum as if the attack had been a joke. But the momentum wasn’t coming from one direction only.
Chun!
alter ego.
An alter ego with the same appearance as Xavier was radiating frost-like energy toward Maximin.
“Aura draw is just a tool.”
As if he already knew, Maximin casually took over the momentum and said.
“Xavier Leonard. I’ll show you how different the ranks are between you and me.”
He showed no signs of using Aura Biggi.
He just smiled at the two Xaviers, a rare smile.
**
Except for the two Aura Masters Deshrun killed and the Marquis Duran I just killed, everyone else was fine. However, the fight was important in fighting spirit.
It had a huge impact on both high and low ranks.
gulp.
The sound of someone swallowing dry spit could be heard from here. The number of days I saw a while ago is a sword that even the Aura masters in the world cannot respond to and the supply and demand are cut short.
It was such a terrible swordsmanship that even Thor of the world gave up his arm, so I said everything. Of course, it wasn’t 100% implemented.
“I proved my words. Even though I will die, most of them can make me a companion on the way to the underworld.”
When I said something that drove a wedge, the already agitated superhumans began to roll their eyes. Most of all, he must have felt that things were wrong as his own lives were precious to noblemen.
“We’ll just go for it.”
And the confusion increased as some who had already laid down their weapons slipped back.
“ha ha ha! Have you become so strong before you know it! You surpassed this master!”
Meanwhile, Deshurn began to praise me with a calm face. To be honest, no matter how much I am, I don’t have the confidence to win once I get into the intersection of all things.
“……We will also step back.”
The Warlocks started withdrawing first.
It was a natural choice as they had a much stronger love of life and exploratory greed than the prosecutors.
“If we withdraw like this, what kind of face do we have to go back to our family?”
“I will fight to the end.”
However, some Auror Masters still showed a will to fight. Knowing that this would happen, I tried to reduce the number of Aura Masters more than Warlocks, but it’s still a bit disappointing.
“It doesn’t matter if you want to fight. But before you deal with me…”
Crunchy!
The three dead Aura Masters rose as undead. People who watched the scene in real time opened their mouths in awe.
“That that that that……”
“Let’s deal with them first. ah! Did you really think they wouldn’t become undead?”
“This evil necromancer…!”
Those who took it for granted when ordinary soldiers became undead became enraged when the Aura Master was resurrected as an undead.
I don’t mean to say that the weight of life is the same, but that double standard was just a little funny to me.
‘It’s rather stupid not to make them undead.’
The stronger the corpse, the stronger the undead. They seemed to have forgotten that obvious reason.
“Even if I have to die, I will kill a wicked seed like you!”
“I’m leaving the plague on the subject who came to kill me in the first place.”
The conversation was over. Anyway, right now, everything that can be done with words or momentum has been done.
Galakshur wept bitterly.
‘Next 3 times.’
It was the number of times the sword of the Heavenly Demon could be realized. Mana is also mana, but at the moment, the body is very strained, so after using it about 3 times, you won’t be able to stand properly.
Whoa –
Dmitri’s phantom beast appeared in the air and revealed its presence. With the elves, spirits, and the undead I summoned around us, we had an overwhelming advantage in terms of numerical superiority.
“Whoa.”
The remaining opponents were 12 Aura Masters. The funny thing was that all the warlocks ran away without a single exception.
Unlike the Auror Master, Warlock was easy to target, and it was difficult to use firepower unless it was a protected battle.
‘Not everyone can fight like a named character.’
There were only original magic, but warlocks with good anti-personnel combat skills were rare.
“Aren’t you coming? I go first.”
With a number like this, it’s worth doing to some extent.
Whoo!
Black wings fluttered.
The seven wings, which I don’t know what stats were attached to, blew destructive power into me.
“Don’t underestimate!”
One Aura Master drew a thin aura from the sword and wrapped it around her. It looks like it’s a biggie to come, but there’s a reason it’s not very famous.
Kwajak!
“What?!”
He seemed to use his aura to stop me, but his thread-like aura was shattered with one stroke of my sword.
“You underestimated me.”
King sword type.
The martial arts of the Namgung family suppressed the opponent.
Kwaaang——-!
Instead of being hit by a sword, the opponent was crushed as if crushed by something heavy. However, the enemies also responded to the death of a colleague without embarrassment, saying that they were a master of their own.
Perong!
A shower of aurors poured out. At the same time, auras rained down on me from all sides like a tidal wave.
At that moment, I took refuge in Deshurn, dragging the wave of the chasing aura.
“Haha, that’s clever.”
Deshrun watched me with a smile and soon nullified all the auras that entered the range of the universe.
“No, what is that…!”
The Aura Masters were taken aback by Deshurn’s fraudulent aura, but soon noticed his ability and distanced themselves. After all, it seems that I didn’t become a master just to come to an aura.
But our power wasn’t all of this.
“What are you guys!”
Louis, who had a firearm, was holding out even against three Aura Masters. An unknown magic that seemed to have been used by Lucia constantly roamed around, disturbing the enemies, and Dmitri’s phantom also began to work.
And above all…
“Kuuk!”
“What nonsense! How could the undead!”
Timur, who didn’t use anger, had a hard time dealing with the Auror Master alone. However, Nickel, who became an apostle, was surpassing the Aura Master even though he did not use sloth.
The three newly undead Aura Masters were also broken here and there, relentlessly harassing the enemies, and soon putting the enemies into danger.
“Kheop!”
Another Auror Master has fallen. Now, there are only 9 people left. The remaining nine were also in poor condition.
“How on earth can you have this kind of power? Is this the power that only one county can have?”
One of the Aura Masters trembled and muttered, unable to believe it.
“If you surrender now, I will spare you. Of course you will be held hostage.”
“Don’t talk nonsense.”
“gibberish? Do you even say that when you see that?”
I pointed to one side and everyone’s eyes turned to that direction. There, three Auror Masters who had additionally died were resurrected as undead.
“Ah……”
“Do you want to be like that when you die?”
It was the scariest threat of all. The intense threat that even death won’t be comfortable.
“If you don’t surrender and resist like this, I’ll definitely kill you and turn you into an undead. And those who became undead like that will make them attack their territory with their own hands.”
“…….”
Was that a villainous word? But the effect seems to have been good, so I’m glad.
“I will surrender.”
“Sir Maltane!”
Someone threw down a sword and raised both hands. The rest of the enemies who had endured together with his actions cried out in surprise.
“I don’t want to be the author’s servant until I die.”
“Are you going to betray your honor!”
“It is more dishonorable to become an undead and point a sword at your family.”
Everyone was at a loss for words at the words of the knight called Meltane. Everyone will think you’re right.
“Good idea. Instead, you have to become a hostage to our family, unlike the people who let you go at first.”
“Okay.”
When one person cut off the start, it was a breeze after that. The nine Aura Masters, who were watching, put their swords down one after another.
“I’m a hostage, but treat me with honor.”
“All right.”
I can’t do anything with words in my mouth.
In fact, killing them and turning them into undead could have been more helpful, but no matter how advantageous the situation was, fighting the 9 Auror Masters had many variables.
If our children get hurt or die, that’s even worse.
Just like that, the moment when the Masters surrendered and the work was about to be completed safely.
“Really……”
Startled!
There was no sign of a sudden voice.
“You are amazing, Adrias Cromwell.”
When I looked up, I saw Berial Castello sitting perched in the air.
“But this is not the ending I want to see.”
“What are you doing here again?”
“I told you. This is not the ending I want to see.”
What the hell are you talking about…
Ugh—–!
A gooey aura that occupied all sides radiated from Burial. Soon after, a magic circle was summoned in the air, and something began to move in space.
“Suck!”
I swung my sword and fired it, but it was blocked by a palm.
“What is that?”
“Wow!”
Only I could recognize when Deshurn and Luna tilted their heads at the hand that appeared from the magic circle.
“Why did you do that, Burial…”
The hand that appeared was Nebro, no, it was the arm of the demon king.
