Episode 641: Identity revealed (1)
Patricio swallowed his saliva.
I tried to keep my composure, but it wasn’t as easy as I thought…
‘Everyone is dead…’
Kayden Lumos’ family troops and Knight Commander Balut·
Red Wizard Alon Pablo
Purple Wizard Coilwart·
The Guardians of Light, the Holy Knights, and Knight Commander Bantam, one of the three strongest powers in the home country.
Special Affairs Unit 11·
Archbishops of the Lumensis Church·
Hunter Association·
Golden Rule Mercenary Unit·
In addition, the country’s outstanding high-ranking priests and high-ranking paladins…
All large-scale troops numbering in the thousands died.
And that was wiped out by just one person…
“I myself…”
“If you touch me…”
What Patricio finally mustered up the courage to say was nothing more than a petty threat.
Ludger cut him off harshly, so Patricio could not even finish his sentence properly.
“Are you saying more people in their home country will come forward and judge me? “Then I’d like to ask…”
Ludger, with red eyes streaming down his face, asked Patricio…
“Who judges me?”
“Lu Lu…”
“Lumensis?”
Ludger snorted and looked up at the black hole that still remained above his head.
To others, it looks like a hole in the air, but its actual role is a door.
Astronomy·
The road leading to the sky
However, in reality, humans and gods could not come and go through that hole.
For humans to climb that thing, their bodies are too weak and their status is too low…
When a god came down to that thing, his presence and status were too great…
A hole so small that a human needle can pass through it.
Still, now that the third sealing technique has been lifted, it will be enough to pry off at least one finger…
Even that is only possible if you have the door to yourself, with all kinds of gods bustling around and taking out number tickets…
There was no way to exert proper influence.
on the other way·
Even without proper influence, Ludger annihilated the punitive army through their power…
Even though the punitive army also received the power of God like Ludger…
“Lumensis, are you watching?”
Ludger asked towards the door…
I couldn’t hear an answer… But I could feel the gods who had been talking a while ago becoming quiet…
Because he approached the door in earnest…
“You must have been looking for me all this time…”
The god of light and order and the owner of this cage…
Lumensis was looking down at Ludger through the open door.
Ludger felt like shuddering at the sticky greed felt in that gaze…
With a mockery, he lightly shook it off like dew on the hem of his coat.
“Yes, I am here, no longer hiding or running away.”
Rumensis expressed displeasure at Ludger’s provocation.
What that feeling meant was simple…
It is unacceptable for the Holy Grail, a tool that is supposed to contain one’s power, to reveal it to its owner.
“You tried to use me as a vessel to destroy my character and use this cage as a deterrent to rule… but it doesn’t work out as you planned… because I will make it so…”
“What is that?”
Patricio did not understand what Ludger was talking about.
Ludger kindly explained to Patricio…
“You recognized me as a dangerous being and tried to get rid of me… Even though I came from the blood of a prosperous emperor, my potential was too great…”
Ludger was born with great strength.
A constitution loved by the gods·
And a vessel that cannot be broken even if it contains that love…
Is there anything more auspicious in the Holy Kingdom than this?
However, Seongguk did not wish for this. Heavenly talent was given to an illegitimate son who was not the eldest son.
No matter how important talent was, it was impossible to hand over the position of great emperor to an illegitimate son while other bloodlines were still alive.
It wasn’t that the other brothers and sisters lacked talent…
The children of the time who inherited the bloodline of the Holy Emperor were composed of only the most outstanding qualities in the history of the Holy Kingdom of Bretus.
If you were born in the past, you wouldn’t be surprised if you became the next successful person even if you weren’t the eldest.
Several people were born at the same time, but the disaster that overwhelmed all of their talents resulted in them being born out of wedlock.
This is dangerous… It’s right to get rid of that…
That was the reason for the numerous assassination attempts surrounding Ludger.
Because he was an illegitimate child, he branded the child’s back, poisoned him, and regularly sent assassins.
The entire Seonghwang family was the stomach of a huge beast that killed him.
But he didn’t die…
Rather, he even escaped from the Holy Kingdom of Bretus.
Afterwards, they continued to send assassins to catch him as he ran away, but in the end, they lost track of him.
But I finally found it…
As if it were God’s guidance…
As if reading Patricio’s thoughts, Ludger narrowed his eyes and said…
“Your intention to get rid of me was not out of pure religious faith. Isn’t it just greed? It was because they felt that their place would be taken away because the illegitimate child had too much talent. They just didn’t like that fact.”
“That’s not true! “We do as God wills…!”
“God’s will? Since Lumensis is watching this situation, are you trying to lie? “Didn’t they call me the Holy Grail? You probably don’t know what I exist for.”
“···!”
Patricio took a deep breath.
He stared with trembling eyes at the black hole above Ludger’s head.
“Oh no, Lumensis, we are absolutely not like that!”
“There may have been a time when they truly served… But the Holy Kingdom of Bretus gained too much power over the long history of the continent… It was polluted and corrupted by the power it gained, and eventually stagnated and rotted away…”
Lumensis didn’t know that either…
Because he was a being who was observing the cage…
However, the reason was that I did not feel the need to take action and that there were restrictions that prevented me from doing so.
Then, an incident occurred…
The fight between the saintess Arkenis and the great devil Surna.
This fight, which took place in the distant past, took place in the same place as now…
“The church claimed that the saint had lost her power and that she had somehow made a noble sacrifice after fighting against the great evil… And in order to show that she was only a superficial saint, they had endlessly conducted experiments with fragments of the existing saint’s power…”
“What does that mean?”
“The Holy Kingdom has now become a being that only lusts for power… They even tried to control the Holy Woman under their control, and eventually even tried to remove the Holy Grail given by God himself… Why? Because that shouldn’t happen… because they shouldn’t have any flaws in their absolute power…”
but·
Right at this moment…
The blueprint they had hoped for was all in vain…
“The worshipers are independent of God and are thirsty for absolute power, and the God cannot trust the worshipers, so he tried to create his own new Holy Grail.”
Ludger closed his eyes…
“But now, the person called God is lending his power to the worshiper, and the worshiper is crying out God’s name. There is no irony in it.”
Patricio’s complexion turned pale…
He tried to make an excuse, but his lips wouldn’t move…
Because I felt eyes on me…
The gaze that was staring at Ludger from the black hole was turned towards him…
It was dark so I couldn’t see anything, but I couldn’t help but notice its huge presence.
No, Lumensis, I am absolutely not like that.
Although he was trying hard to deny Ludger’s words on the inside, the dark desire deep inside him could not escape under the eyes of Lumensis.
The emotion felt in Lumensis’ gaze was filled with anger.
The anger was only at a very small level, at the level of splitting and splitting the emotions of the main body…
Even though he was a cardinal, Patrick felt like his heart was being squeezed.
It wasn’t just an illusion, his heart was actually being squeezed…
“Turn it off!”
He should have wrung his lips and let out a scream from the pain, but his mouth wouldn’t open at all, as if it had been glued together.
This is because God did not even allow those who dared to scream in pain to those who committed sins.
‘no! Mr. Lumensis! ‘Lumensis!’
I cried out desperately, but it was only an instinctive human struggle in the face of the fear of death.
Lumensis recovered all of the divine powers he had bestowed on Cardinal Patrick.
It wasn’t just the divine power that was bestowed…
From Cardinal Patricio’s existing divine power to all the vital energy within his body…
Lumensis was sucked in through the door…
Patricio’s body crackled and turned into lightning…
What appeared was lightning, but it was a golden-colored being.
In this way, Cardinal Patricio’s entire body was broken into particles of light, split apart, and absorbed through the black hole.
The process happened suddenly, but Ludger could see…
Patricio felt that less than a second was almost 100 years, and he felt the pain of his body being torn apart at the cellular level in real time.
“Still, he was an admirer who followed him, but his methods of disposing of things were quite nasty…”
Ludger sneered at the hole in the air…
Lumensis, who had punished Cardinal Patrick, looked at Ludger again.
you·
Mine·
am·
His thoughts can be felt sporadically…
As if to prove that it wasn’t just words, white sparks began to fly around the black hole.
Lumensis was trying to force the open door to open wider.
Compared to the other gods’ actions that were tailored to the small hole, we could see how extreme Lumensis’ actions in trying to make the hole larger were.
It also means that he is confident in his power and power.
“Are you planning to use this opportunity to exert direct influence by making the door bigger?”
Ludger gazed at the astronomical gate, which was gradually growing larger with the power of Lumensis.
Even though it was a moment of crisis, his expression did not change at all.
“But no matter how much you are, you can’t completely twist the laws of this world…”
As if to prove that statement, the gradually growing astronomical gate stopped expanding…
Rather, it began to shrink at a faster rate than it had grown a moment ago.
“Isn’t it your job alone to create this cage? You drove out other gods, took their names, and even trampled on their status, but the world they created still remains the same.”
This world you don’t have…
At Ludger’s provocation, I felt intense anger like thunder rushing from beyond the hole…
Ludger once again created a sealing technique…
When I calmly opened the seal in the reverse order starting from step 3, the halo above my head was erased and the size of the heavenly gate quickly narrowed.
The moment it is about to be reduced to level 2…
A golden thunderbolt fell straight down through the black hole toward the top of Ludger’s head.
It was a blow that Lumensis struck with the intention of somehow branding Ludger before the door closed.
Ludger was unable to respond to the golden lightning as he was concentrating on reconstructing the sealing technique.
The moment lightning was about to strike Ludger’s head…
“I can’t wait to see that…”
Surna swung his sword and deflected golden lightning to the side.
The golden lightning lost its aim and disappeared as if melting in the air.
You…
dare!
Lumensis, who recognized Surna, tried to vent his anger again, but the sealing technique had already been restored to the second stage and was about to reach the first stage.
“Don’t be so harsh, I haven’t even started hitting you yet.”
Surna threw a final taunt at Lumensis…
“Don’t worry, Lumensis…”
Ludger, who was about to begin the first stage of the final sealing technique, spoke to Lumensis…
“Now I will come find you…”
Faaah!
The black hole created in the air disappeared…
The suffocating presence and the divine power that weighed down the world all disappeared along with the black hole.
“Uhm, it hurts a little…”
Surna frowned as she looked at the sword that deflected the Lumensis brand.
It’s just a ray of stigma…
Considering the status of Lumensis, the attack would have been worse than his little fingernail…
But in order to deflect it, he had to use a sword strike greater than that of decapitating the Flame Elemental Lord.
However, his right hand holding the sword was slightly burned.
This is the result even though it was thrown diagonally rather than forcefully.
But the wound healed quickly…
This level of injury was nothing more than a scratch compared to when I fought the saintess in the past.
“now·”
When the whole situation was over, Ludger looked at Surna with his blue eyes that had returned to their original state.
“It’s our turn to talk…”
