Episode 477
Episode 153. Decisive battle (8)
“The sky…!”
The members of the Allied Forces, which were busy moving, raised their heads involuntarily.
While the fallen ogres were struggling, it was impossible to lose sight of them even for a moment.
Anyone would have no choice but to hesitate under the sky dyed black by emptiness.
[Avoid!]
Mahatrisha, who was commanding the dragons from the back of the battlefield, urgently shouted. Even for her, it was unexpected that a void of this magnitude would manifest.
Avoid, get away! Maha Trisha continued to shout, but the dragons that had already touched the void with even the tip of their wings were helplessly sucked into it and disappeared.
The dragons that disappeared did not let out a single scream. First five, then three more disappeared into the void.
As if the dragons had disappeared, there were no traces left. Only the dark side of the void that had begun to block the sun was visible.
As the dragons slowed down, the ogre, which had been drifting away with the ice, began to riot again. Hundreds of soldiers died in one blow as he swung his hammer away from the ice and the chains tied to his body.
Also, it seemed that the war situation was getting extremely difficult, but it was true that the damage was reduced after the task force succeeded in disrupting it.
Above all, the void that began to fill the poles was not only a problem for allies.
‘We must drive the ogres into the void!’
Duran gritted his teeth and thought.
Pijin told him to arrange his stamina even for a moment, but if he stayed still at this time, the front line would inevitably collapse.
Huh!
With a few jumps, Duran instantly stood on the ice with the ogre on his right. As he landed, the ice cracked in all directions.
If the dragon was not with them, the chains planted by the soldiers at the cost of their lives would be useless. In the end, an unmanned man like Duran had no choice but to drive them out in close combat.
The ogre’s mighty hammer landed on Duran. When the raised Star Buster and the hammer collided, a roar accompanied by tinnitus spread.
As the clash between Duran and the ogres began, the soldiers holding the chains fell off. The dragons retreated protecting them, and soon only Duran and Ogre were left on the right side of the ice.
Bullfighting…
After a short battle that went like a search battle, Duran took a breath.
keying! A deep golden aura condensed into the Star Buster, making a grinding sound. Duran’s pupils were smeared with large sword eyes.
“I will kill you.”
opportunity.
Losing the dragons due to a sudden spread of air near the ice sheet on the right was a painful loss, but from an efficient point of view, it was closer to an opportunity.
Duran is not ‘fighting’ the ogre, but because the environment has been created to drive him ‘into the void’.
Destroy him within 30 minutes.
With that in mind, Duran started attacking the ogre. Every time the Star Buster moved, the space shuddered, and the ogre seemed to receive his attacks without difficulty.
Up until now, he had been dealing with three ogres almost alone. But now that there was only one, the movement felt lighter.
Of course, if you have to risk life and death and fight until one side dies. Even if you mix weapons with ogres for days and days, conclusions won’t come easily.
But the damn void was helping Duran. With the surroundings blackened by emptiness, an ogre with a relatively large body was at an extreme disadvantage.
The time of 30 minutes was so allotted.
Because of the void, it was meaningless to use decisive attacks such as Sky Slash or Storm. Even if you use the technique, you will get caught up in the void and you will not be able to produce proper destructive power.
Because of this, the fight between Ogre and Duran flowed in a primitive form.
hit and block
swing and hit
Using only brute force, a single human and monster stretched their weapons against each other. Just that alone made the ground shake dangerously as if an earthquake had occurred.
However, Duran was overdoing it.
It is said that the spread of the void is advantageous geographically, but fighting an ogre head-to-head with the technology sealed was a burden even for a superhuman.
It wasn’t even a fight anyone could step in to help. Even Kriesha couldn’t blend into this fight with hand-to-hand combat.
“Kheop!”
Duran, who had been constantly attacking the ogre, spat out a handful of red blood. The shock accumulated in the body after Freega’s match with Matiu was still there.
The ogre was getting closer and closer to the void. When the guy fighting Duran was in danger, the ogres held by other warriors and dragons were also a little shaken.
And after spitting out blood, Duran moved more violently. He was carrying the world on his shoulders just like Yuma.
‘You did a really good job greeting the disciple.’
Duran intuitively felt death.
It wasn’t this moment when he was fighting a primal fight with an ogre.
But even after all the battles were over, he didn’t seem to be alive.
It was fine though.
Unless the apocalypse, which erases even the world after death, swallows them all.
It wasn’t until 37 minutes later that Duran threw an ogre into the pit of the void.
The ogre was erased into the void without making a single sound, just like the lost dragons. It was as if everything he had fought against Duran had been a lie.
“Heh heck heck…!”
Duran couldn’t stand up for a while with his body supported by the Star Buster. It felt like something was broken inside him when he struck the final blow that sent the ogre into the void.
The ice sheet melted in the heat, and a cloud of smoke rose from it, obscuring Duran’s figure. Outside, there was still a confrontation with the ogres, and there were no additional casualties among the warriors.
Now one has been destroyed.
Even so, there were still six left, and as expected, the void holes were not in favor of humans.
“The retreat is blocked!”
The retreat of the rear ranks was also stained with emptiness. If only the ogre could avoid it, the retreat, which could have been done without problems, was disrupted.
In addition, ogres had the upper hand in the other two battlefields, except for Duran. The side with the pidgin was much better, but it was impossible to continue the manifestation forever.
They too had a plan to drive the ogres into the void, but they couldn’t do it like Duran. The Void didn’t bloom that much on the side where Pidgin was.
It was a contradictory situation. I came to fight to stop the Void, but now I need the Void.
Cool Power Cool Power!
Duran coughed up blood.
He could still fight, but dealing with the other six ogres with his body was a daunting task.
Orlando to the east of the battlefield and the Balaur were also in a bad situation. Contrary to Duran, they couldn’t fight properly because the Void was oppressing the Balaur.
At least, it was Ballinan’s side who was fighting an even battle. Thanks to Rakire joining Barlinan, the Alpenter did not inflict as much shocking damage on the allied forces as the ogre.
[Natalie.]
[Roses…]
And Marka brought Cherkin and Theron to the battlefield where Natalie was. The ogre, who was known to have only a desire for destruction, recognized them as allies and did not attack them.
‘shit. In this case, those things.’
Natalie folded her chainsword and turned her gaze to them. Marka’s face, standing on the iceberg next to the ogre and looking down at Natalie, was fleshy.
It was a challenge. The ogre alone was already enough, but out of nowhere, three top-notch unmanned soldiers were added to the enemy camp.
The warriors, including Natalie, exhaled heavily and glared at them. Cherkin’s greatsword was already covered with a thick aura, and Theron was also ready for battle.
[If I kill you, that son of a bitch, Yuma, will be quite happy…]
Jiik!
Suddenly, a crack appeared in the space behind Marka. The shamans thought that there would be a void again.
It was a boy who tore through the void and came out.
‘uh?’
The boy holding the rusty shortsword was Evan. As soon as he came out of the space, he fell in a straight line and split Marka in half.
It was said that it was an attack from a dimension, but Marka, a high-ranking sword master, could not even react and died instantly. This was not a dimension where Rizol could turn back time like the Zeilgyo Abbey.
“What!”
Cherkin and Theron shouted and swung their swords at Evan. However, by lightly vibrating his sword, Evan let their attack flow.
Even Evan, who simply blocked the attack, had a woman on his shoulder. Malone, who was next to Natalie, almost collapsed and sobbed at the sight of the woman.
“Maria!”
It was Maria. Evan, who dropped Theron and Cherkin in an instant, handed Maria over to Marlon. Maria was in a state of fainting.
The ogres also stopped working for a while.
It was like choosing which one to focus more on, Evan or the Muins.
[I will be blocking this place, so hurry up and move the troops.] The
black energy of the underworld spread like dust around Evan’s body.
It was a figure full of dignity that could not be approached somewhere, but that was because there was a previous case where the power of a demon god dwelled for a while.
The demon’s seat of power passed directly to Yuma, but Evan instinctively swallowed his soul and kept some of his power.
The demon’s desire for destruction, the survival instinct as a human being, the factor of light planted by Rizol, and guilt towards Yuma and Natalie. The reason Evan came here at this moment was the result of these things intertwined.
While Rizol was shielding himself, Evan hid himself between the underworld and the wreckage. In the meantime, Yuma rescued Maria while Rizol was fighting and escaped.
“Evan Evan right? What happened? Why did it disappear then! Now…
Natalie asked, holding Evan by the shoulder. Evan’s body touched the palm of his hand, and a cold aura like that of a corpse was exuded.
[Miss Natalie. I don’t have much time. Send troops as soon as possible…
before Yuma-sama wakes up.]
“What do you mean by that?”
[He has become a complete god now.]
Evan, who answered dryly, seemed to lack most of his human emotions.
“what?”
[If the battle between Yuma-sama and Rizol resumes, this area will become several times more dangerous than it is now. You have a better chance of surviving even a little if you go to the barrier.]
“No, wait a minute. perfect god? Could it be that Yuma died?”
Just as Evan is about to answer.
Suddenly, something started to explode like a volcano from the very center of the polar region. Yuma and Rizol started fighting again.
