Chapter 235
Overpowered Sword Chapter 235
Level up with swords (235)
“Are you doing well?”
Adela muttered unconsciously as she looked at the outer wall of the White Palace, a wall that shined pure white even in the middle of the night.
It has already been over an hour since Leon and his group entered the White Palace.
Since the group includes only six Aura Masters, it would be difficult for any trap to hold them back even for a moment. No matter how much the White Palace does not fight back with all its might, it will fall in less than half a day.
But I couldn’t help but feel at ease.
Morse, a villain who was better than anyone else in the evil church when it came to getting someone into trouble, was the leader of the enemy.
If the tension is relieved even for a moment, it is enough to pierce the gap.
“Are you worried about the warrior’s group? sister.”
Anna, who was sitting next to me, turned around and asked a question.
As befits her nickname ‘Mokdong’, she was able to approach everyone in a friendly way and get along well with them.
Adella nodded her head slightly and answered.
“Even with my abilities, there is no way to know what is going on inside the palace. The same goes for the warrior and the saint. “It’s frustrating because I feel like I’m leaving too heavy a burden on kids who aren’t even 30 yet.”
“I feel a little weird hearing that from my sister.”
Anna smiled with a faint expression on her face at those words.
Adela, the 4th Cardinal, was one of the three most senior cardinals, but her face value was so low that she often felt cognitive dissonance when talking to her.
But what she said was something Anna could agree with.
Not only Adela, who had not yet fully recovered from her condition, but also Anna, whose strength was inferior, felt a little helpless.
Even though they had their coming-of-age ceremony, Leon and Ellahan are still young.
A warrior and a saint.
They could not help but appear noble and precarious as they carried a fate bigger and heavier than anyone else in this world.
“It’s not that I don’t trust those kids. “I just wanted to lighten the burden on my shoulders even a little.”
Adela’s eyes sank deeply.
Just thinking about what was going on beyond those tall castle walls made me feel a sense of self-destruction.
It was better to risk my life and fight like Irexana did.
As an adult, it would have been wrong to just sit back and watch.
“Hehe, you’re always like that.”
“what?”
“Normally, she acts like a child, but at times like this, she overflows with maternal love like an older person. “She’s like a mother.”
“What kind of nonsense are you talking about to someone who isn’t even married, you idiot!”
Adela hit Anna’s head once in response to those words, but it wasn’t with much force. Rather than being angry, it felt like I was letting go because I couldn’t stand the unfamiliar atmosphere.
The castle knights standing guard near the two also smiled and shrugged their shoulders.
It was surprisingly well known even within the church.
The Fourth Cardinal’s attitude toward other people is said to be that of an adult who views children like a mother or grandmother.
Anna, who broke the serious mood, giggled and teased.
“Damn! Adela Maman! “Give me food!”
“This is…!”
Adella’s face was bright red and she was shaking with her fists clenched, but she only looked cute rather than scary.
The air in the campground became a little softer.
It was that moment.
――――――Wow!
The vibrations that came from beyond the White Palace spread out to a radius of several kilometers, causing the group’s spirits to plummet.
So did the two cardinals.
Almost at the same time, Adela and Anna stiffened their faces and glared at the point where the unidentified wave started. It’s ominous. The feeling of disgust that crawled up my spine was a rejection characteristic of .
It was by no means common for a foreign law that had not yet been activated to show such great foreshadowing.
“Anna.”
“Yes, sister. “I’ll get you ready.”
Anna, realizing her intention in one word, immediately began to gather all the Seongcheolsae Knights.
The number of men was much smaller than that of the Revolutionary Army or the Fermat Army, so it was easy to assemble them. About 30 Seongcheolsaegi knights gathered with stern expressions.
Since they have been through all kinds of hardships before birth, it has been a long time since they realized that the previous wave originated from ‘Oibeop’.
“–come!”
Adela, who read the waves from several kilometers away, shouted fiercely.
At the same time, an enormous force erupted into the air.
It is a lump of malice whose shape is unclear like a dark red fog that stings your eyes just by looking at it. As soon as the clouds flowing leisurely in the night sky touch it, they turn black like dark clouds. It was an extravagant act on a scale large enough to engulf an entire city.
Adela looked.
The surface of the dark cloud momentarily distorted like a screaming human face.
“no way?!”
We didn’t fight the evil cult for a day or two.
If it was a method I had seen even once, I could destroy it, and even if it was a method I didn’t know, I could roughly guess its identity. In Adela’s experience, what causes that Death Mask phenomenon is clearly—
“Anna! Set a barrier with your kids! To ‘sanctuary’!”
“yes!”
As soon as Adella’s instructions were given, the entire Holy Iron Chain Knights, including Anna, moved in perfect order.
While the Revolutionary Army and the Fermat Army, who had not yet fully grasped the situation, just stared blankly, they formed a formation for group formation and raised their divine power.
Anna raised her voice as if to induce that power.
“The two eyes of the goddess who look down on the sun and moon and all things!”
Adela was the only one who broke away from the formation and glared at the darkness approaching them.
Her eyes shine golden and pierce reality.
Although it wasn’t at the level of the ‘Stigmata of the Watcher’, it was easy to perform a stunt like this if you concentrated the holy power of a cardinal’s level on the eyes.
“Is that an evil spirit made up of tens of thousands of vengeful spirits?”
Adela, who saw through its identity, gritted her teeth.
It had to be that way.
These are souls who have been robbed of their right to return to rest and are forced to hate the living. You distorted the souls of the citizens of Karellum who knew nothing and became sacrifices to foreign laws and did as they pleased.
Righteous anger boils through my blood.
“Nowhere in the world can sin be hidden, and nowhere in the world will mercy be left! Only those who have walked the right path will be proud before him. “On the day when the sun and the moon rise at the same time, those who look up to the sky will get down on their knees and pray earnestly!” The
light overflowing from Anna mingled with the Seongcheolsaegi Knights, becoming bigger and brighter, and before we knew it, it had surrounded hundreds of meters like a fence.
And when the intensity of the light reached its peak, Anna chanted one last verse.
“「The Goddess is watching us!」”
Divine Light.
As the flash of light emitted without any sound swept all around, the darkness that had been rolling in like a wave was driven away.
The earth, which has temporarily become a sanctuary, rejects evil.
Then, the evil spirits facing the light screamed all at once.
■■■■■■■―――!!
They lost their memories of life, lost their sense of self, and all that was left to them was the instinct to hate the living and the light.
The evil spirits attacked the ‘sanctuary’ one after another, heedless of the light that burned their bodies. Just like before death, the soul, which is more like rags than a tattered body or corpse, is disappearing in vain.
Compassion appeared in the eyes of the Seongcheolsaegi Knights who saw this.
Not only was it not enough to be innocently murdered, but even after death, he was cruelly used and had to return to nothingness.
Even by their own hands.
“Wake!”
At that time, Anna’s voice corrected the tremors in my heart.
“The only thing possible for us is to return those poor people to the arms of the Goddess! Get rid of all unnecessary thoughts! “Think only of your comrades standing shoulder to shoulder with the enemy in front of you!”
The eyes of the Holy Knights became firm again.
They are also veterans who have experienced all kinds of hardships.
Even if Anna hadn’t reminded me, I would have been able to calm down in just a few minutes. But I couldn’t waste even a few minutes, so I had to raise my voice.
Thanks to the ‘Sanctuary’, evil spirits could not even approach the Holy Order’s garrison, but the Fermat army and the revolutionary army were a different story.
Kkkkkk!
Finally, an evil spirit that narrowly escaped the ‘sanctuary’ revealed its teeth. It crossed the air like an arrow and pierced one of the watchdogs of Fermat’s army, who had not even grasped the situation yet.
No, would it be a bit wrong to say that it penetrated through?
The moment the evil spirit entered his body, the soldier convulsed, twisted his body violently and bit into foam.
It was only a few seconds later.
“Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr to! Graaaaa!”
“Philip, why are you doing that?”
A soldier whose body was taken over by an evil spirit whose eyes were red and bloodshot stabbed a comrade who was supporting him with his spear.
The fellow soldier died in an unexpected surprise attack.
That was the beginning.
It did not take a long time for one soldier whose body was taken over by an evil spirit to increase to ten, and ten to one hundred. By protecting one’s body with auras, evil spirits could be repelled, but not a single soldier possessed that level of skill.
Fermat Army and Revolutionary Army.
The wave of evil spirits that poured down on the two armies quickly permeated nearly 10,000 soldiers. The commanders, who opened their eyes and surrendered their troops, were greatly embarrassed, but the only way to respond was to cut down a few evil spirits with swords.
“It’s a masterpiece that is close to the standard for taking over an army using Possession, but I didn’t know it could be used on this scale…!”
I was completely caught off guard.
Adela realized that fact and looked around.
‘Our children can endure for as long as we can, but if we expand the scope of ‘Sanctuary’ any further, the cost will be too great. Even those who know how to use Aurors cannot survive if they are overwhelmed by overwhelming numbers.’
The Knights of Seongcheolsae, where each member is an expert in inaction, is more than capable of protecting themselves even if evil spirits flock to them in millions.
However, more than 90% of the Fermat Army and the Revolutionary Army were ordinary soldiers who could not handle even Aurors well, but the number of people who could resist evil spirits was at least ordinary knights.
Even if you were a common knight, if you had to deal with 100 soldiers possessed by evil spirits, you would be torn to death in no time. Another weakness was that it was difficult to cut down soldiers who had been allies a moment ago.
“Are we bound to incur losses like always?”
From a strategic point of view, it was right to leave this place immediately and prepare for the final battle.
The revolutionary Fermat army was ultimately just a bunch of chaff.
I don’t know what kind of hand Morse would play, but it was a more certain decision to just let them die rather than using up the Holy Iron Knight to save them.
“shit!”
However, if he had been able to choose that option, he could not have become a cardinal or even a knight of the Seongcheolsae.
It is nothing but hypocrisy to talk about the cause while ignoring the people who are dying before our eyes. The evil cult knew this, so they set up a trap to lure the Holy Knights and have been using it for a long time.
Adela walked out with both fists clenched.
If he used a cardinal-level holy technique and released that shock wave, he could extinguish even the evil spirits that resided in his body.
‘Still, half of them will die…but the other half can be saved.’
In one part of my head, I calmly calculate the casualties and stretch out my hands. If we use up all our strength here, we won’t have the strength to break through the castle gate later.
Nevertheless, we cannot stand by and watch.
Adela couldn’t help but laugh as she thought to herself, “It’s so stupid.”
‘I’m sorry, but I’ll have to leave the rest to you, kids.’
At the very moment when you make that decision and are about to take a step.
Creepy.
A creepy presence appeared behind me.
Space movement.
As if targeting the army in chaos, a person who should be in the depths of the White Palace has revealed himself. He is not even wearing a mask, but is a devil-like man whose face is made of unidentifiable chaos.
〈Exorcist Bishop〉 Mors.
Adela, seeing him, took a fighting stance and shouted.
“You’ve been crawling well. “I’ll kill you this time!”
“…Is there one wild boar left?”
Morse was silent for a rare beat and then muttered.
“It’s a variable that couldn’t be assumed. Oh, I see. The prince’s guardian knight. Has that old man entered the master’s level? They exceeded the limit of 6 people, so they kept you as a spare. I thought I was one step ahead, but that doesn’t mean they’re fools either. “Maybe I was just lucky.”
Even though he encounters an unexpected person, he discovers the truth in just a few seconds.
Immediately after that, Morse and Adela’s eyes met.
The two foresaw each other’s actions without exchanging a single word. Regardless of who was first, ‘Outer Beop’ and ‘Chojindong’ burst out.
“ɨɩɬɭɮɯʗɣɖɢŭɕɕɱ!”
“Haaaaab—!”
As Adela took a step forward and raised her palm, Morse took a step back and summoned a tentacle.
The flesh hit by the shatters.
Comma Buys only a few seconds of time.
Purple flames soared from behind the monster’s bloodied corpse.
“I can’t help it. “I will kill you right here, Adela.”
“Ha! And then you say you’re going to take me out again!”
They clash once again, exchanging murderous words.
In a hellish island covered with evil spirits, tens of thousands of troops attacked the Fourth Cardinal of the Holy Order and the Bishop of Chaos.
