Episode 640: Battle of Myths (2)
Zero Order of the Black Dawn
The Great Devil Surna looked around and fell into memories of the past.
“I never thought I would come here again… It’s not a place I have such good memories of.”
“Because it’s where you were defeated?”
“We had to lose… but that doesn’t matter… something worse happened than that…”
“This must be the reason why this crater and the surrounding land have become a place where life cannot grow.”
“That’s right… And back then too, there were Lumensis dogs all around like that…”
Surna’s gaze turned towards the paladins and priests of the Lumensis Church.
Patricio felt the subtle energy flowing from Surna’s body and narrowed his eyes.
“You’re the devil…”
Along with Patrick, other archbishops also felt…
A mysterious energy flowing from Surna, a strange power that stimulates their divine power like an allergy.
There was only one being with such power on this continent…
A devil who serves a heretical god…
“Oh my god, the devil…”
“Are you saying that the blood of the Holy Emperor joined hands with the devil?”
“Oh, Lumensis, what can we do about this terrible heresy?”
The priests who saw Ludger and Surna together closed their eyes and prayed.
Surna chuckled as if the sight was amusing.
“Oh my, it looks like you’re treating that person as my boss? In reality, it’s the opposite…”
“I tell you to think your own way… What do you plan to do now?”
“What are you going to do?”
“The entire First Order is dead… All that’s left are the few remaining members… But you seemed to have expected this to happen someday…”
“Please don’t misunderstand me? “I just left it to its own devices.”
“You probably didn’t know the price. If you came this far, you probably want something too.”
“That’s right, I’m a devil, so I don’t help anyone without any intention.”
“Then show it here…”
“Aren’t you asking me what I want? “Do you know what I’m asking?”
“····”
Ludger stared at Surna in silence…
Surna shrugged, as if he understood something from that gaze without even an answer.
“I was watching this and tried to gain interest in an appropriate way, but it ended up being twisted.”
Surna stretched out her hand into the air…
A long sword was held in his empty hand.
Surna slowly headed forward and looked up at the Elemental Lord of Flame.
“I understand that you are uncharacteristically angry, but will you please get out of here? “Otherwise I’ll have to fight you.”
Grumble!
The body of the Flame Elemental Lord radiated more intense heat and burned like a fire.
Since the entire body is made of flame, the stronger the heat is, it is a sign that the person is angry.
Surna clicked his tongue as if he was disappointed, but his eyes didn’t look like that at all.
“Okay, since it’s been a while, I’ll show you.”
The figure of Surna who mumbled like that disappeared from her seat…
Where on earth have they gone?
The subjugation forces of the Holy Kingdom of Bretus, who missed Surna’s movement, looked around in panic.
An ominous crackling sound echoed around the area…
Everyone who turned their gaze toward the source of the sound saw it…
The sight of the giant head of the Flame Elemental Lord being cut off and falling to the floor…
Coooooo!
The lizard-like head fell to the ground and turned into a slushy magma.
Surna, who cut off the head of an 800m tall man in one fell swoop, returned to the spot he had disappeared to a moment ago and was examining his sword.
“Uhm, I can’t use it…”
The sword he was swinging was dyed bright red, and its tip was melting into molten metal.
“It was a fairly strong sword, but was it difficult to cut through the flame itself?”
The Elemental Lord of Flame is a being who can vaporize everything around him just by standing.
Any weapon melts or evaporates before it touches that flaming body.
Considering that, Surna’s skill in cutting off the head of the Flame Elemental Lord with a single sword was incredible.
at the same time·
An uneasy thought spread among the subjugation forces that this man might really be the great evil mentioned only in legend.
“Everyone, come to your senses!”
The shouts of high-ranking paladins and priests washed away the illusion.
At that time, the headless Flame Elemental Lord raised his right hand…
A long sword of flame was created above the raised hand.
A huge flame sword that seemed to be over 200 meters long fell straight towards Surna.
After seeing this, Surna grabbed the new sword and thrust it forward as if making a stab.
Just by looking at the difference in size, a picture of Surna being crushed was created in my mind.
The temperature of the flame sword alone was enough to cause the surrounding air to tremble and the earth to melt, so it was clear that the existence itself would vaporize before it even touched.
But the result was the opposite…
Tooung!
The Elemental Lord’s flaming sword that touched the tip of Surna’s sword was split in half like firewood.
Kwak-ga-ga-ga-gak!
The sword of flame split on both sides, scraped the floor and disappeared beyond the horizon.
The flames stretched along the path and the earth melted.
But Surna was fine…
He was full of composure, as if he was not affected by the embers fluttering around him.
The Elemental Lord of Flame, who had already regenerated his head, stared at Surna with eyes full of anger.
With that momentum, the surrounding temperature rose several degrees in an instant…
Even the priests and paladins who were protected by the sacred power of Lumensis hesitated and retreated.
“Where are you looking?”
At that time, Ludger’s voice was heard from the sky…
Ludger, holding a trident shining golden, was looking down at them with a halo hovering above his head like a judge.
“You came here to deal with me in the first place, so shouldn’t you focus on fighting me?”
Ludger, holding the golden trident, lightly threw it on the ground.
“Trishna…”
The Spear of Destruction, said to have burned down the demon city made of gold, silver, and iron in one fell swoop.
It fell like a meteor, as if punishing the humans on earth.
The priests joined forces to create a wall of divine power.
That wasn’t enough, so he unleashed the highest level of sacred magic, created a huge golden shield, summoned countless pseudo-angels, made them raise the shield, and displayed it in front of them.
The highest level holy laws optimized for protecting and protecting something were activated one after another.
In terms of magic, it is at the level of firing great magic.
Such efforts were in vain as the trident so easily pierced all defenses and fell into the center of the priests.
And a pure white explosion spread in the shape of a hemisphere…
Everyone within the radius of the explosion disappeared without even leaving a body behind.
Although hundreds of enemies were killed in an instant, Ludger felt doubtful about the lower-than-expected power.
It was the highest level sacred weapon that was launched with the intention of clearing it all at once, but it was only able to defeat this much…
“You did it, Lumensis.”
Through the door opened by Ludger, the pure white sacred power of Lumensis was covering the crater and the surrounding area.
It reduced the power of Ludger’s attacks and provided endless strength to those still alive…
In the end, it was lumensis that could exert the greatest influence through astronomy.
Even though it was an indirect method of granting divine power rather than direct intervention, the impact was quite significant.
Those who were caught in the aftermath of the explosion and had their arms or legs cut off or were seriously injured beyond recovery.
This is because they recovered from all their wounds and woke up fine.
Even people whose lower bodies were blown off were able to regenerate themselves in an instant.
Tremendous regenerative power provided by the divine power directly bestowed by Lumensis.
It was a virtually immortal power that did not kill even if only a small part of the body remained.
“This is why I can’t tell who is a monster and who is a human.”
The people who gathered to kill the immortal monster ended up in a state of pseudo-immortality…
Where on earth is this irony?
‘But it seems like they’re fighting well in their own way…’
The battle between the Elemental Lord of Flame and Surna has almost reached its climax…
The Elemental Lord of Flame was strong on his own, but Surna was no match for him.
No, on the contrary, Surna gradually pushed the Elemental Lord of Flame.
Compared to his initial power, the Elemental Lord of Flame was not able to exert much power.
‘Is it because of the Elemental Lord of the Earth?’
The elemental lord of flame was able to come here thanks to the lava flowing beneath the earth.
It was able to appear because the ground was forcibly plowed through and the surrounding area was made into a quasi-volcanic area.
However, the Elemental Lord of Earth sealed the cracked ground and cut off the magma supply, and as a result, the output of the Elemental Lord of Flame fell to less than half.
The Elemental Lord of Flame glared at the Elemental Lord of Earth, asking why he was doing this, but the Elemental Lord of Earth ignored his gaze and continued to remain ignorant.
‘You’re good at one thing…’
Should I say that I have an excellent eye for understanding trends?
Unlike the Elemental Lord of Flame, who had a fiery temper, the Elemental Lord of Earth knew what was more important.
To prevent this fight from getting bigger…
“Looking at your sincerity, I’ll just end this.”
Ludger caught a bow·
It was a mysterious bow full of all kinds of splendid decorations, befitting a mythical weapon.
When I pulled the string, an arrow made of light automatically appeared even though the arrow was not caught.
“Brahmastra·”
The size of the arrow fired was even small compared to the miracles shown before.
The speed is also very slow, so it is safe to say that it is the same as a normal arrow.
But when Patrick saw it, he shouted to the archbishops:
“Raise all defenses to maximum!”
The archbishops were archbishops.
Although he may have questioned the command, he did not show any embarrassment or hesitation.
Their bodies were bathed in pure white light, and a pseudo-halo appeared above their heads.
As the archbishops possessed more divine power, they possessed much more of the power bestowed by Lumensis.
The archbishops gathered their strength and Bantam, the leader of the Holy Knights who joined them, also did his best, holding a golden shield in both hands.
His entire body turned golden, to the point where the bantam itself turned into a living golden statue.
The surrounding priests and paladins were not just sitting idle…
Priests offered prayers and used sacred techniques.
The arrow of light, the spear of light, and the pillar of light flew toward the arrow.
The golden weapons used by the Holy Knights, the golden sword, and the golden flag blocked the path of the arrow.
But the arrows didn’t stop…
Without even slowing down, it passed by all the incoming attacks as if ignoring them and drew a parabola toward its destination.
Did I miss the mark?
That wasn’t it. All attacks hit the arrow properly.
only·
The attacks made by the priests and knights were completely extinguished as soon as they were touched by the power of the arrow.
“This is ridiculous…”
How great is the power contained in that one tiny arrow that an attack fired by thousands of blessed people at the same time would have no effect?
The pure white arrow fired…
Finally, we reached a strong barrier…
It was a pure white fortress that soared as if dividing the world in half.
Special Seongbeop·
[Fortress of God]
It is said that in the heavenly realm where those who serve Lumensis head, there is a golden fortress made of light.
It cannot be invaded by any devil and emits a bright and warm light forever.
It is said that its size is enough to wrap around the entire continent three times and only half of it remains.
The sacred law that embodies it as it is…
To be precise, it summons part of the golden castle of the actual Lumensis into this reality.
On this land…
There has never been a being that could surpass this sacred fortress…
An arrow that looked smaller than a toothpick flew and stuck on top of a castle wall high enough to fill the world.
and·
A huge explosion occurred…
“this·”
Surna immediately put his sword on the floor and lowered his body.
The Elemental Lord of the Earth immediately dived deep beneath the ground.
Only the Elemental Lord of Flame was slow to react…
The aftereffects of the explosion passed by the Flame Elemental Lord, and the Flame Demon, who was over 800 meters tall, disappeared on the spot like embers.
Lights flickered, and tens of thousands of thunderbolts continued to pour forth incessantly.
When everything calmed down…
The walls were everywhere, and all of the thousands of troops had disappeared…
The number of survivors can be counted on two hands…
It was all the archbishops, including Patrick.
“Unexpected… I was planning on killing them all…”
Ludger landed lightly on the ground.
Right in front of him, the leader of the Bantam Holy Knights, still colored in a soft golden color, stood tall.
Ludger just passed by the bantam.
Immediately afterwards, Bantam’s body collapsed into pieces like weathered marble with a crashing sound.
“Oh how!”
The moment the surviving archbishops tried to use the Holy Law against Ludger…
An arm suddenly burst out, tearing the air above Ludger’s head.
The mechanical arm raised its index finger toward the archbishop and drew lightly from left to right.
The body of the archbishop who was preparing for the Holy Act trembled, and his body turned into salt and spilled on the floor.
The moment the other archbishop opened his eyes, a tentacle mixed with human bones, organs, flesh, and muscles came out through a hole in the sky and touched the archbishop’s body.
“What on earth is this… Gigi Geek!!!”
The Archbishop’s body touched by the tentacle twisted strangely and was sucked into the tentacle like water from a water hole.
When one archbishop looked at the mirror that appeared before him, his eyeballs and optic nerves burned and he died…
One archbishop’s eyes went blank, he sat down, prayed, muttered something, and then turned into a tree.
Archbishops died in various and bizarre ways…
Those who haven’t died have turned out to be better off dead.
Patricio felt like it was a divine punishment…
If so, it is questionable…
Who on earth would punish the Archbishop of the Lumensis Church?
“now·”
Finally, Ludger stood in front of Patricio.
“You’re the only one left…”
